根据段落主题推文章主旨
本文属于专栏文章。此类文章通常围绕一个话题，采用递进或并列结构组织材料。文章主旨通常需要读完整个语篇，通过综合分析各段落的主题来提炼。如本文采用并列结构分别阐述了三名学生对18岁的理解与定位。阅读时，应先分别提炼这三则材料的主题，再综合各材料主题即可快速推知全文主旨。
(一)赏用词之妙
1．But what does reaching this milestone, the age of majority, really mean
赏析：本句中使用了milestone，突出了18岁这个阶段对人生的重要性。
2．I can't wait to be 18. One reason is that although I've been working ever since leaving school, I won't be voting in the next general election ...the very day I turn 18.
赏析：句中的can't wait短语很形象地描绘出作者渴望成年的迫切心情，而后文中的One reason is ...解释了其原因；the very day点明18岁对于作者的重要性。
3．People say that 18 marks a new chapter in our lives, and that we should become more independent.
赏析：句中使用mark强调了18岁在人生历程中的重要意义。此处People say that意为“人们说”，可以替换为It's said that ...。
①印刷术的发明是人类进程中的一个里程碑。
________________________________________________________________________
________________________________________________________________________
②今年夏天我要去北京品尝美食，逛胡同！我等不及了！
________________________________________________________________________
________________________________________________________________________
________________________________________________________________________
③The changing seasons mark the passing of time.
________________________________________________________________________
(二)赏句式之高
1．I expected to feel instantly different, as if I had closed the door on my childhood and stepped into a whole new adult world.
赏析：本句中as if引导的从句使用了虚拟语气，假设了一幅想象中的画面，生动地描绘了作者设想的成年场景。
2．I know I could get a bank loan to pay the deposit on my very own apartment, but I don't feel ready to make that kind of commitment, and I do like my mom's cooking.
赏析：本句中使用助动词do来强调谓语动词like，着重强调了继续和父母住在一起的好处。
①I'm surprised they've invited me to their wedding ____________________________， but it wasn't like that.(虚拟语气)
我很惊讶他们居然邀请我参加他们的婚礼，好像我跟他们很熟似的，但是事实并非如此。
②(2024·浙江1月高考)With these advantages, it ____________________________________ of prolonged sittings during classes, and refresh you.(强调谓语)
因为这些优点，它一定可以减少上课期间久坐给你带来的负面影响，让你精神焕发。　　
(三)赏描摹之韵(写作手法)
In most countries, turning 18 marks the start of adulthood. But what does reaching this milestone, the age of majority, really mean Will you be completely in charge of your own life and able to express yourself in new and exciting ways What new responsibilities will this freedom bring Here, three young people tell us what turning 18 means, or meant, to them.
赏析：本文首段部分使用了三个问句，通过层层发问的方式引出文章主题，导入正文。这种开头方式有利于引发读者的思考和好奇心。
_______________________________ the door of your house Or, ______________________________________ the TV or computer These kinds of things happen to us all the time, waste resources, and can sometimes lead to problems.
你忘记过锁家门吗？或是你忘记过关掉电视或电脑吗？诸如此类的事情经常发生在我们身上，浪费资源，有时还会引发问题。　　
(四)赏逻辑之巧
But it wasn't like that. When I woke up the next day, there were still rules to obey and lessons to attend. In fact, the change has been more subtle and gradual than I imagined. Instead of being the selfish teenager I used to be, I have begun to feel more aware of other people and to develop a stronger sense of social responsibility.To give an example, I will be signing an organ donation agreement this time tomorrow.
赏析：“But it wasn't like that.”在文中起承上启下的作用，指出成年并不像自己想象的那样生活会有显著的改变。接着，When引导的时间状语从句对此进行了具体解释。In fact表示递进，承接前文展开阐述。然后，表示对比的Instead of引出成年前后的变化。最后，To give an example进行举例说明。这些衔接词、句的使用，让此处的表达更自然、逻辑更顺畅。
[仿写训练|补全语段，注意衔接词汇的运用]
English is my favorite subject and I take every chance to practice my oral English. ____________________， I always take part in the English corner at weekends, ____________________________________________.
英语是我最喜欢的科目，我抓住每一个机会练习口语。比如，我总是在周末参加英语角，而不是像以前那样待在家里。　　
成年一般被视为一个新的开始。步入成年期，你将面临许多新的机遇和挑战，需要适应不同的环境和角色，并且开始自主决策和掌控自己的生活。同时，也将承担更多的社会责任，将为社会做出更大的贡献。一个人什么时候算是成年了，对此人们有着不同的观点，阅读本文，从科学层面了解人们对成年的看法。
Turning 18 is a big deal when you are a teenager.It means you are responsible for yourself and don't need your parents' permission any more.However, there are lots of opinions about when one becomes an adult.Some are based on science, while others are personal opinions.While currently the age is 18, science supports 25 as a more sensible age for adulthood, and I agree.
While studying the brain of teenagers, scientists have learned that when kids are around 18, their prefrontal cortex (前额皮层) is only halfway developed.The prefrontal cortex helps people set and achieve goals by receiving signals from different regions of the brain to process information and adapting accordingly.That halfway development means that you still have things to learn and your brains still have time to develop until the age of 25.
Some people think going off to college and living on your own qualify you as an adult, while others may believe having a steady income and being able to afford to live on your own are what make you an adult.Not everyone has a fortunate life where they have family that can provide support; there are situations where you are forced to become an “adult” whether you like it or not.
In the foster care (寄养) system, once a child turns 18, he or she is considered an adult and can no longer receive state sponsored support. have no family or anyone to support them other than those who were there for them in the system.
Having a quality job will allow you to supply yourself with necessary things to live and help you become a more mature and responsible person. realizing life isn't as easy as it seems should qualify someone as an adult.

Books to Read in Your 20s
The Kite Runner
By Khaled Hosseini
As a Middle Eastern and North African Studies student, I have a great interest in books about what takes place in this area. I first read this book in high school and really enjoyed it because of its accurate language. If any of you is interested in reading this book and hasn't yet, I highly recommend it.
Firefly Lane
By Kristin Hannah
This is my favorite book. It is a story about friendship, love and life lessons. The story covers the lives of two best friends, Tully and Kate, from childhood to adulthood. I learned so much about friendship and life. So, read Firefly Lane! You'll laugh, you'll cry, and then you'll share this book to your best friend.
Half the Sky
By Nicholas D．Kristof
For any person of any age, Half the Sky is a must -read. It describes the struggle of women and the most pressing human rights problems of our time: the common oppression of women and girls.
The Little Prince

Japan recently lowered its voting age from 20 to 18. This decision was in part to help young people feel more engaged in politics. But it may also signal the change of social views regarding the beginning of adulthood.
Adulthood has traditionally been defined by a combination of age and the achievement of social milestones. Most countries have a legally defined age to determine when a person becomes an adult — the age of majority. In Australia, most states consider a person to be an adult in court at 18. The age of 18 is also consistent with other adult privileges, such as the right to marry. However, 17 -year- olds can serve in the army and get a driver's license.
The law defines adulthood on the basis of age and it also recognizes the process of becoming an adult as involving gradually in social responsibility. This legal approach to adulthood is mirrored in other countries, where there are differences between the age of majority and social responsibilities given to young people.
Socially, determinants of adulthood traditionally focus on a person taking increasing responsibility for their lives in various pleting school, taking full- time employment, getting married and parenthood — these are all observable indicators to determine when a person is viewed as an adult.
Since the 1980s, however, people have achieved some of these observable milestones at later ages. Increased access to education has delayed young people leaving home and develop romantic relationships. Economic changes have also resulted in unstable employment markets and increases in costs of living, prompting many young people to remain at home and depended on parents.
Due to these social changes, our expectations of young people and their level of social responsibility have also changed. The recognition of a new life stage — emerging adulthood — has been recommended to account for the changes to social milestones that have traditionally represented adulthood.
语篇解读：本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述社会对成年人的看法开始发生变化。由于这些社会变化，我们对年轻人的期望和他们的社会责任也发生了变化。
4．What can we learn about adulthood from the text
A．People reach observable indicators much later.
B．Age alone is a reliable determinant of adulthood.
C．Participation in politics is a responsibility for adulthood.
D．Economic changes mainly shift people's views on adulthood.
解析：推理判断题。根据第一段前两句可知，参与政治是成年人的责任。
√
5．What right can people enjoy at the age of 17 in most states of Australia
A．Voting.　　　　　 B．Driving legally.
C．Getting married. D．Taking a full -time job.
解析：细节理解题。根据第二段中的“However, 17 -year -olds can serve in the army and get a driver's license.”可知，在澳大利亚的大部分州，人们在17岁时可以服兵役和考驾照。
√
6．Which of the following may account for young people remaining at home with their parents
A．Decreased costs of living.
B．Rising employment rate.
C．Parents' high expectations.
D．More chances to receive education.
解析：推理判断题。根据第四段第二句可知，拥有更多教育机会是年轻人留在家里的原因。
√
7．What's the main idea of the text
A．Emerging adulthood reflects a new life stage.
B．Adulthood is defined differently in different places.
C．Social changes are challenging the idea of adulthood.
D．Adulthood is a combination of rights and responsibilities.
解析：主旨大意题。根据第一段和最后一段第一句可知，文章由日本降低投票年龄入手，主要说明社会变化正在影响人们对于成年的界定。

Books to Read in Your 20s
The Kite Runner
By Khaled Hosseini
As a Middle Eastern and North African Studies student, I have a great interest in books about what takes place in this area. I first read this book in high school and really enjoyed it because of its accurate language. If any of you is interested in reading this book and hasn't yet, I highly recommend it.
Firefly Lane
By Kristin Hannah
This is my favorite book. It is a story about friendship, love and life lessons. The story covers the lives of two best friends, Tully and Kate, from childhood to adulthood. I learned so much about friendship and life. So, read Firefly Lane! You'll laugh, you'll cry, and then you'll share this book to your best friend.
Half the Sky

Japan recently lowered its voting age from 20 to 18. This decision was in part to help young people feel more engaged in politics. But it may also signal the change of social views regarding the beginning of adulthood.
Adulthood has traditionally been defined by a combination of age and the achievement of social milestones. Most countries have a legally defined age to determine when a person becomes an adult — the age of majority. In Australia, most states consider a person to be an adult in court at 18. The age of 18 is also consistent with other adult privileges, such as the right to marry. However, 17 year olds can serve in the army and get a driver's license. The law defines adulthood on the basis of age and it also recognizes the process of becoming an adult as involving gradually in social responsibility. This legal approach to adulthood is mirrored in other countries, where there are differences between the age of majority and social responsibilities given to young people.
Socially, determinants of adulthood traditionally focus on a person taking increasing responsibility for their lives in various pleting school, taking full time employment, getting married and parenthood — these are all observable indicators to determine when a person is viewed as an adult.
Since the 1980s, however, people have achieved some of these observable milestones at later ages. Increased access to education has delayed young people leaving home and develop romantic relationships. Economic changes have also resulted in unstable employment markets and increases in costs of living, prompting many young people to remain at home and depended on parents.
Due to these social changes, our expectations of young people and their level of social responsibility have also changed. The recognition of a new life stage — emerging adulthood — has been recommended to account for the changes to social milestones that have traditionally represented adulthood.
4．What can we learn about adulthood from the text
A．People reach observable indicators much later.
B．Age alone is a reliable determinant of adulthood.
C．Participation in politics is a responsibility for adulthood.
D．Economic changes mainly shift people's views on adulthood.

C．Getting married. D．Taking a full time job.
6．Which of the following may account for young people remaining at home with their parents
A．Decreased costs of living.
B．Rising employment rate.
C．Parents' high expectations.
D．More chances to receive education.
7．What's the main idea of the text
A．Emerging adulthood reflects a new life stage.
B．Adulthood is defined differently in different places.
C．Social changes are challenging the idea of adulthood.
D．Adulthood is a combination of rights and responsibilities.
