Ⅴ. Read the passage and finish the following tasks.
Growing up is an essential journey that every teenager goes through，filled with both challenges and achievements that shape one's character and personality. During the period of adolescence，young people typically face various pressures and begin the important process of discovering their own identities and values. These different challenges，often referred to as "growing pains"，are completely normal and actually necessary for personal development.
At the same time，this process brings many positive "gains" and valuable learning opportunities. Students gradually learn to solve problems independently，build deeper and more meaningful relationships with others，and continuously develop new skills and abilities. Through different experiences，they come to better understand their personal strengths，weaknesses，and interests. With proper guidance and support from family members and school teachers，most young people successfully learn how to overcome different difficulties and consequently become more confident and capable persons.
Educational research clearly shows that teenagers who learn to deal with their growing pains in a positive and constructive way tend to develop into more resilient and adaptable adults. The experience of facing and overcoming different challenges proves to be particularly valuable for their future life，helping them build strong character and learn important life lessons that will serve them well throughout their lives. Both the pains and gains during this special period contribute greatly to making a person what they are meant to become.

【分析】
拿到这篇阅读理解，首先可以先通读题干明确考点，带着问题回原文定位对应内容解题：针对选择题，优先匹配题干关键词到原文找对应表述，排除表述绝对、和原文相悖的干扰项；补全句子题型直接定位对应原句提取缺失内容即可；开放问答结合文本核心观点，控制字数符合要求、言之有理就可以。比如21题找growing pains的定义，直接定位第一段，发现其余三个选项都用了绝对词only，不符合原文“各种压力”的描述，就能快速选出正确答案。
【解析】
21. 原文第一段说明青春期青少年会面临各类压力，同时开启自我身份、价值观探索的过程，这些内容都属于“成长的烦恼”，A、B、D选项均用绝对词only，表述片面不符合原文，只有C选项涵盖了对应内容，因此选C。
22. 划线词resilient和后文的adaptable（适应力强的）并列，结合上下文“积极应对成长烦恼、直面克服挑战”的语境，可推测词义为“遇到困难能快速恢复”，对应选项C，其余选项A“家境富裕”、B“事业成功”、D“头脑聪明”均不符合语境，因此选C。
23. 原文第二段明确提到成长过程中学生会逐步学会独立解决问题，和他人建立更有意义的深层关系，对应选项B；A“变得更不自信”、C“避开所有困难”、D“更依赖父母”均和原文表述相悖，因此选B。
24. 全文围绕青少年成长过程中遇到的“成长的烦恼”，以及对应的成长收获展开论述，核心主题是成长中的痛与收获，其余选项都是文中的片面细节，不能概括全文主旨，因此选B。
25. 定位原文开篇第一句“Growing up is an essential journey that every teenager goes through, filled with both challenges and achievements that shape one's character and personality.”，直接提取缺失内容即可。
26. 定位原文第二段“Students gradually learn to solve problems independently”，直接提取缺失的副词即可。
27. 结合文本中“直面克服挑战的经历对未来人生十分宝贵”的核心观点，写出符合字数要求、表意正确的内容即可，答案不唯一。
