本文的语篇类型为专题讨论。标题“It's all about ME！”直接点明了文章的主题。正文部分介绍了三位年轻人对自我形象的认知和对外表的不同看法，以及心理学家对他们观点的评价。第一、二段是Jade的陈述以及Dr Hart的点评，说明沉迷于自拍的危害性。第三、四段是Anthony的陈述以及Dr Hart的点评，主要讲述Anthony从不关注自身的外在形象，到后来对外在形象认知的转变。第五、六段是Emma的陈述以及Dr Hart的点评，讲述了Emma一直受肥胖问题的困扰，但后来以Tess Holliday为榜样而转变了对外在美的认知态度。文中交织着四个人的观点态度，阅读时注意加以区分，并以此为线索厘清文章脉络。
(一)赏用词之妙
1．So, ever since I discovered selfie apps that could remove my freckles, enlarge my eyes and even slim my jawline, I have become addicted.
赏析：句中的slim为形容词用作动词，意为“(使)变苗条”，语言表达生动、形象，强调了人们对外在美的追求。
2．I spend hours every day editing my selfies, posting them and eagerly checking my phone a hundred times for comments.
赏析：此处巧用动作链 editing my selfies, posting them 以及checking my phone，突出了作者对照片编辑软件的沉迷。同时， hours, a hundred times 进一步强调了作者沉迷于美化自拍照的心理状态。
3．But I was surprised at how good I looked after the makeover!
赏析：句中的surprised突显了作者既惊喜又兴奋的情绪状态。
①(翻译句子)Being cut off from the outside world has narrowed him.
________________________________________________________________________
②(2024·新高考Ⅰ卷写作)Gunter ______________________________， ________________， and ______________________________ on his face.(用适当的动词完成句子)
Gunter把出租车停在公交车后面，转过身来，笑容满面地看向我。
③(完成句子)As the great day approached, she grew ________________________.They tried to comfort her, but she still _______________.
随着这一重大日子的临近，她变得越来越紧张。他们试图安慰她，但她仍然感到焦虑。
(二)赏句式之高
That's why I could never understand my sister, who has 17 lipsticks and can't decide which one to use every morning.
赏析：本句中运用了That's why ...句式，who引导的定语从句以及“疑问词＋不定式”结构，增加了句式的层次，彰显了作者深厚的写作功底。
①Even extremely beautiful natural environments can be in bad condition if they are left alone.__________________________________________________ around the world to protect them.
如果放任不管，即使是极其美丽的自然环境，也可能处于糟糕的状态。这就是为什么世界各地都在采取措施来保护它们。
②There are many such good books that I can't decide ________________________________________________________________________.
有这么多的好书，我无法决定读哪一本。
(三)赏修辞之功
1．“Me”．It's a small word with big meaning, and that meaning is as individual to each of us as the way we look.
赏析：句中a small word with big meaning采用了隽语(Paradox)的修辞法。这是一种貌似矛盾，但包含一定哲理的说法，是一种矛盾修辞法，主要用来增强文章内容的表达力度。
2．It's true that inner beauty is very important，but external beauty shouldn't be completely overlooked.
赏析：此处使用了对比的修辞手法，将内在美与外在美进行比较，清晰明了地传达了作者的观点。
①More haste, less speed.
________________________________________________________________________
②The child is father to the man.
________________________________________________________________________
③Everyone in the classroom ________________________________ while Refael sat alone, ________________.
教室里的每个人都在愉快地聊天，而Refael独自坐着，不知所措。
古语说得好：“不要以貌取人。”可惜的是，作为青少年的你却经常以貌取己。关于外表的负面思绪可能会像乌云一样始终笼罩着你，身边的朋友以及媒体的审美标准可能都会影响到你对自己外表的看法。阅读下面的文章，学会正确应对外部影响，不盲从流行的审美标准；学会看到自己的优点——你的个性、你对他人的价值、你的成就——你很快就会爱上自己本来的样子。
“Don't judge a book by its cover，” the old saying goes.Unfortunately, as a teenager, that is often exactly what you do to yourself.Dark thoughts about your physical appearance can hang over you all the time like a rain cloud.Do I look fat in these jeans Do others think I am too short Is everyone laughing at my new hairstyle behind my back These thoughts can have a negative effect on people of any shape or size, both male and female, and .
Standards of beauty in the media can have a big influence on what you think of your physical appearance.Teens who try to copy the looks of their favourite stars are fighting a losing battle — these standards are simply impossible for most of the population to live up to.They will only end up feeling worse about themselves.
Your friends also influence the way you view your physical appearance.If you have friends who are ， it can feel like you are living in their shadow.For children of the digital age, social media makes this problem even worse.Your friends may post a never ending series of photos online to show off their beautiful dresses or strong bodies, and it becomes easier for you to compare yourself to them.This has proved to have a negative effect on what you think of your physical appearance.
These external influences are always present, but there are certainly ways to deal with them.First of all, be careful not to follow popular beauty standards blindly.They are out of reach for 99% of us, so it is better to just forget about them.
Another tip is to remind yourself that you are unique.Keep in mind that your family and friends love you just the way you are.Talk about your feelings with someone you trust.Hearing how much they value you can help you feel comfortable in your own skin.Focusing on your strengths also helps you build your confidence.Everyone has their own talents — you may be good at painting or playing the piano, so take pride in things you do well instead of worrying about things you cannot change.
Finally, it is a good idea to try to direct your attention away from negative thoughts.To achieve this, you should do something you enjoy.Read a book you like, or take part in a social activity, like playing a ball game with your friends.These things can help you take your mind off matters that worry you and make you feel good about yourself.
You may often judge yourself by what is on the outside, not on the inside.However, like a book, your contents are much more important than your cover.If you can learn to see the good things about yourself — your individuality, your value to others, your achievements — you will soon begin to love yourself just the way you are.

Ⅰ.阅读理解
A
I have learned Latin dance since childhood.However, into adolescence, conflicts brought by Latin dance overwhelmed me.The fair skin and slim bodies of mainstream beauty stand in contrast to what Latin dance pursues: power and wildness.As a blooming (妙龄的) girl, I long for beauty admired by all.But a girl like me with strong muscles stands out in the crowd.Disturbed feelings caused by unkind judgment piled up in my heart.It was so much that I chose to compromise.
Luckily, the match for the Chinese youth team in Vietnam shifted my attention, dragging me out of anxiety.Players from different countries gathered together to fight for the honours.And I was no exception.Even though I had exerted (尽力表现) myself, I was shocked to find that I didn't get the score I expected.The reason, obviously, lay in my diet.With my reduced intake of protein and carbohydrates, I visibly lost a lot of weight, but at the cost of a sense of power and speed in dance.
In between games, I saw a little girl from Europe take firm and powerful steps in the competition.There was an inward intensity (强度) and outward charm, which caused my attention.Her beauty came from her full muscles.The confidence in her eyes was unstoppable.Sure enough, she won the top prize.Full of admiration, I made her acquaintance and shared my dilemma.I can't recall the conversation, but I do remember the confidence that inspired me and some of her words：“Just be yourself.”
Looking back, I'm still the dancing girl, but my heart has grown lighter.Something within me is dancing.
语篇解读：本文是一篇记叙文。作者在青春期因为自己的外表感到困扰。后来作者遇到了一个女孩，女孩鼓励作者做自己就好，作者也终于找回了自信。

√

I think adults are affected by media, songs and the Internet, and that is hard enough.After reading all of the magazines and looking at the models, my friends and I agree that our least favourite day of the year is when we wear swimsuits! It affects your whole mood and self-image for the day.Think about how hard it is for young girls if they believe “how hot you look” is how valuable you are.
Here are some ways parents can be proactive in encouraging a healthy self-image in their children.
First, teach what real value is.I think kids sometimes are confused about values.How valuable you are is not measured by how pretty you are on the outside and success is not measured by how famous you are.We were watching the Oscars and my 6-year-old son said “She is so pretty” and then quickly looked at me and said “You are prettier, Mom.” And I said, “It's okay.There are many people prettier than me on the outside.I know that's not why you love me.” It is important to teach children this from an early age.
Second, tell your kids about “the grass is always greener” syndrome.It is very easy for all of us to see the glamour (魅力), whether it is in a celebrity or the most popular girl in the school.Do not judge famous people.They might have problems that are different from the ones your child has or the same struggles, like wanting acceptance from peers.
At last, use your mouth.Don't be afraid to have conversations with your child about how they're feeling about ads, songs, etc.Boys too! You are the parent! Kids of all ages want and need boundaries whether they admit it or not.Take a stand and have confidence enough not to be followers and not to purchase clothing, music, or magazines that you don't believe send the right message to your children!
√
语篇解读：本文是一篇议论文。文章主要阐述了家长应如何帮助孩子树立正确的价值观。
5．What does the underlined word “It” in paragraph 1 refer to
A．Singing with friends.
B．Learning swimming skills.
C．Showing imperfect figures.
D．Reading fashion magazines.
解析：代词指代题。由画线词上文的“After reading all of the magazines and looking at the models ...when we wear swimsuits！”及画线词下文的“how hot you look”可推断，画线词指代“(穿上泳衣后)展示出不完美的身材”。
√
6．The author's son said “You are prettier, Mom.” probably .
A．to praise his mother
B．to comfort his mother
C．because he didn't like stars
D．because he really thought so
解析：句意理解题。由画线句上文的“We were watching the Oscars and my 6-year-old son said ‘She is so pretty’ and then quickly looked at me and said”及画线句下文作者的话“It's okay.There are many people prettier than me on the outside.”可推断，作者的儿子那样说很可能只是为了安慰自己的妈妈。
√
7．What syndrome is mentioned in paragraph 4
A．Lots of people like judging others.
B．Kids want to be popular in school.
C．People tend to like celebrities.
D．People always think others' life is better.
解析：推理判断题。由第四段中的“‘the grass is always greener’ syndrome”及“It is very easy for all of us to see the glamour ...”可知，作者认为人们通常更容易看到别人好的地方，而忽视别人不如意的地方，即“这山望着那山高”。
√
8．In the last paragraph, the author advises parents to .
A．set limits for their kids
B．make friends with their kids
C．teach their kids how to be confident
D．encourage their kids to be themselves
解析：细节理解题。由最后一段中的“You are the parent! Kids of all ages want and need boundaries whether they admit it or not.”可知，作者建议家长适当限制孩子接触的东西。
Ⅱ.阅读七选五
Are you happy with your appearance Some teenagers are not.“Almost all the girls with single-fold eyelids (单眼皮) in our class have had double eyelid operations，”Zeng, a Senior 2 student from Chengdu, told the Xinhua News Agency.Zeng had the same surgery done this summer. 9
From popular photo-editing apps to plastic surgery (整容), it seems that large eyes, pale skin and a skinny body are the only standard for beauty these days.But can following this standard really make us feel good about ourselves
10 According to Huxiu News, over six in ten girls choose not to take part in certain daily activities, such as attending school, because they feel bad about their looks.As many as 31 percent of girls avoid speaking up in class because they worry that others will notice their looks.
Boys don't usually talk about body image problems as much as girls, but that doesn't mean they don't have them. 11 Parents and doctors may overlook them, even if they notice such problems in girls.
“Many teenagers are upset about their appearance because they believe in unrealistic standards of beauty，” experts say.Perfect faces and bodies are everywhere in advertising, TV shows and social media. 12
However, trying to live up to strict standards can make us feel anxious.What troubles us is not just our “imperfect” looks, but the fact that we criticize ourselves so harshly.
13 Plus-size (大码的) models are being featured in some fashion shows.All of us should be just as confident as they are.
A．All the girls worry about their looks.
B．Beauty comes in all shapes and sizes.
C．Image problems are common in the world.
D．Body image anxiety is common among girls.
E．Boys can struggle with body anxiety as well.
F．She and many of her classmates believe bigger eyes look more beautiful.
G．Seeing all these things can make anyone believe that they're too fat or too short.

UNIT 1 课时检测(一) “Understanding ideas”的课文习读环节
Ⅰ.阅读理解
A
I have learned Latin dance since childhood.However, into adolescence, conflicts brought by Latin dance overwhelmed me.The fair skin and slim bodies of mainstream beauty stand in contrast to what Latin dance pursues: power and wildness.As a blooming (妙龄的) girl, I long for beauty admired by all.But a girl like me with strong muscles stands out in the crowd.Disturbed feelings caused by unkind judgment piled up in my heart.It was so much that I chose to compromise.
Luckily, the match for the Chinese youth team in Vietnam shifted my attention, dragging me out of anxiety.Players from different countries gathered together to fight for the honours.And I was no exception.Even though I had exerted (尽力表现) myself, I was shocked to find that I didn't get the score I expected.The reason, obviously, lay in my diet.With my reduced intake of protein and carbohydrates, I visibly lost a lot of weight, but at the cost of a sense of power and speed in dance.
In between games, I saw a little girl from Europe take firm and powerful steps in the competition.There was an inward intensity (强度) and outward charm, which caused my attention.Her beauty came from her full muscles.The confidence in her eyes was unstoppable.Sure enough, she won the top prize.Full of admiration, I made her acquaintance and shared my dilemma.I can't recall the conversation, but I do remember the confidence that inspired me and some of her words：“Just be yourself.”
Looking back, I'm still the dancing girl, but my heart has grown lighter.Something within me is dancing.

I think adults are affected by media, songs and the Internet, and that is hard enough.After reading all of the magazines and looking at the models, my friends and I agree that our least favourite day of the year is when we wear swimsuits! It affects your whole mood and self image for the day.Think about how hard it is for young girls if they believe “how hot you look” is how valuable you are.
Here are some ways parents can be proactive in encouraging a healthy self image in their children.
First, teach what real value is.I think kids sometimes are confused about values.How valuable you are is not measured by how pretty you are on the outside and success is not measured by how famous you are.We were watching the Oscars and my 6 year old son said “She is so pretty” and then quickly looked at me and said “You_are_prettier,_Mom.” And I said, “It's okay.There are many people prettier than me on the outside.I know that's not why you love me.” It is important to teach children this from an early age.
Second, tell your kids about “the grass is always greener” syndrome.It is very easy for all of us to see the glamour (魅力), whether it is in a celebrity or the most popular girl in the school.Do not judge famous people.They might have problems that are different from the ones your child has or the same struggles, like wanting acceptance from peers.
At last, use your mouth.Don't be afraid to have conversations with your child about how they're feeling about ads, songs, etc.Boys too! You are the parent! Kids of all ages want and need boundaries whether they admit it or not.Take a stand and have confidence enough not to be followers and not to purchase clothing, music, or magazines that you don't believe send the right message to your children!
5．What does the underlined word “It” in paragraph 1 refer to
A．Singing with friends.
B．Learning swimming skills.
C．Showing imperfect figures.
D．Reading fashion magazines.
6．The author's son said “You are prettier, Mom.” probably ________.
A．to praise his mother
B．to comfort his mother
C．because he didn't like stars
D．because he really thought so
7．What syndrome is mentioned in paragraph 4
A．Lots of people like judging others.
B．Kids want to be popular in school.
C．People tend to like celebrities.
D．People always think others' life is better.
8．In the last paragraph, the author advises parents to ________.
A．set limits for their kids
B．make friends with their kids
C．teach their kids how to be confident
D．encourage their kids to be themselves
