B．Welldone!C．Noway! D．Don'tworry!解析：词义猜测题。根据第二段最后一句可知，成为一名好的滑行者，落地技巧是重要的。再根据上句中的“whenIlandedthetrick,myfriendsbeattheirboardsloud,shouting”可知，作者成功进行了落地动作，周围的朋友夸赞作者“做得好”。故选B。3．WhydidtheauthorliketospendtimeinSouthbankwhenhereturnedtoLondon？DA．Tojointheskateboarding.B．Tomakenewfriends.C．Tolearnmoretricks.D．Torelivehischildhooddays.解析：推理判断题。根据第四段中的“IfoundmyselfwanderingdowntoSouthbank,spendinghoursthere.I'vetraveledbackseveraltimessince...Weaving(穿梭)amongthekidswhorushedbyontheirboards,Ifoundmywaytothebeam.”可知，作者在回到伦敦后，花了数小时在Southbank漫步，并且去了多次，穿梭于玩滑板的孩子中间，回忆起自己的过往。由此可推断，作者在重温儿时美好的日子。故选D。4．Whatmessagedoestheauthorseemtoconveyinthetext？CA．Childrenshouldlearnasecondlanguage.B．Sportisnecessaryforchildren'shealth.C．Childrenneedasenseofbelonging.D．Seeingtheworldisamustforchildren.解析：推理判断题。通读全文可知，作者从洛杉矶搬到伦敦后感到不适应，后来在一个滑板运动中心交到了好朋友。作者15岁时，一家人又搬到了华盛顿。他尝试在那里玩滑板，但滑板在那里并不受欢迎，因此作者放弃了。作者多年后再次回到伦敦，重温小时候在伦敦的经历。这些都显示出孩子需要归属感。故选C。理清脉络语言能力(一)高级词块1．settlev．定居；安顿；平静下来；解决2．skateboardn．滑板3．bendn．拐弯处，弯道；弯曲4．beatv．敲打；打败(某人)；跳动5．rail-thinadj.骨瘦如柴的6．localn．当地人7．packupourhome收拾好我们的家8．feelataloss感到不知所措9．tryacertaintrick尝试某种技巧10．acoupleofyears几年11．catchafewofhisglances稍微看了他几眼12．outofplace格格不入13．whatmatters重要的是(二)长难句突破Southbank,ataneasternbendintheThames,isthecenterofBritishskateboarding,wherethec
