C We all know the dangers of fires. It’s good and necessary for a family to learn how to prepare for a fire. Here are some suggestions. Put a smoke alarm in the house. Smoke from a fire causes the alarm to go off. The alarm makes a loud sound. The sound tells everyone to leave the house right away. Make escape (逃走) plans. We should know all the ways out of the house. If there is a fire, everyone follows the plan to get out. Part of the plan is to check the windows to make sure they can be open easily. Buy fire extinguishers (灭火器) in the house. Everyone in the family should know how to use them. Practice for a fire. We do fire practice because we teach children about fire safety. Everyone in the family should know the following rules. ●Don’t open a hot door! The fire can grow more quickly if you open the door. ●Stay close to the floor! Smoke can be more dangerous than fire. The best air is near the floor because smoke rises. ●What will you do if your hair or clothes start to burn? First, stop! Don’t run! The fire burns faster because of more air. Drop! Fall to the floor. Then roll (打滚)! Turning over and over will make the fire go out. There are many possible causes (原因) for fires. A wise family is ready for a fire all the time. 根据语篇内容，选择最佳选项。 36. When a smoke alarm rings at home, we should________. A. leave the house right away B. break the windows C. call 120 for help 37.

Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage? A. We should practice for a fire. B. There aren’t any possible causes for fires. C. Smoke from a fire can cause the alarm to go off. 40. What’s the best title for the article? A. Be Ready for a Fire B. The Causes of a Fire C. The Danger of a Fire D ① Some people are very careful about everything they do. However, some people are risk-takers — they usually do things without thinking too much about the results. For example, teenagers are especially likely to take more risks than others. Why is this? ② Van, a professor at Leiden University in the Netherlands, uses computer games to find out why some people are more impulsive (容易冲动的) than others. In one test, players are asked to click on a balloon on a computer screen. Every time they click, the balloon gets bigger. The bigger the balloon is at the end of the test, the higher their prize will be. But if the balloon gets too big, it’ll blow off and the player will get nothing. ③ Van found that when teenagers plays game, a part of their brain which is called the striatum (纹状体) would become much more active. It makes teenagers want to win. On the other hand, another part of the brain, the prefrontal cortex (前额皮质), helps them control their decision-making process (步骤). ④ It shows that young people have more active striatums and less active prefrontal cortexes which influence their ability to make careful decisions. You might have already guessed that teenagers would blow off more balloons during the test than adults—mainly because they are more likely to take risks and don’t take the time to think carefully. ⑤ “The brain of teenagers is like a car with a very strong engine,” Van said. “Its brakes just don’t work well enough to stop them quickly.” 根据语篇内容，选择最佳选项。 41. Which of the following is most likely a risk-taker? A. A 6-year-old boy. B. A 15-year-old student. C. A 65-year-old man. 42. Why did Van do the test according to the passage? A. To find out why some people are more impulsive. B. To find out who will blow more balloons. C. To find out why adults make bad decisions. 43. What influences teenagers to make careful decisions? A Their hobbies. B. Their experiences. C. Their brain. 44. What does the underlined word “brakes” mean? A. 发动机 B. 刹车 C. 方向盘 45. What is the structure of the passage? A. B. C. 六、选词填空（共10小题, 每小题1.5分, 共15分） 根据语篇内容，从方框中选择恰当的单词，并用其正确形式填空。将单词填写在答题卡对应的横线上。每个单词只能用一次。 blind subject know mind offered when stay they from feel Henry is a classmate of mine.

However, some people are risk-takers — they usually do things without thinking too much about the results. For example, teenagers are especially likely to take more risks than others. Why is this? ② Van, a professor at Leiden University in the Netherlands, uses computer games to find out why some people are more impulsive (容易冲动的) than others. In one test, players are asked to click on a balloon on a computer screen. Every time they click, the balloon gets bigger. The bigger the balloon is at the end of the test, the higher their prize will be. But if the balloon gets too big, it’ll blow off and the player will get nothing. ③ Van found that when teenagers plays game, a part of their brain which is called the striatum (纹状体) would become much more active. It makes teenagers want to win. On the other hand, another part of the brain, the prefrontal cortex (前额皮质), helps them control their decision-making process (步骤). ④ It shows that young people have more active striatums and less active prefrontal cortexes which influence their ability to make careful decisions. You might have already guessed that teenagers would blow off more balloons during the test than adults—mainly because they are more likely to take risks and don’t take the time to think carefully. ⑤ “The brain of teenagers is like a car with a very strong engine,” Van said. “Its brakes just don’t work well enough to stop them quickly.” 根据语篇内容，选择最佳选项。 41. Which of the following is most likely a risk-taker? A. A 6-year-old boy. B. A 15-year-old student. C. A 65-year-old man. 42. Why did Van do the test according to the passage? A. To find out why some people are more impulsive. B. To find out who will blow more balloons. C. To find out why adults make bad decisions. 43. What influences teenagers to make careful decisions? A. Their hobbies. B. Their experiences. C. Their brain. 44. What does the underlined word “brakes” mean? A. 发动机 B. 刹车 C. 方向盘 45. What is the structure of the passage? A. B. C. 【答案】41. B 42. A 43. C 44. B 45. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇议论文。文章主要通过讲述心理学家的实验来验证为什么青少年更喜欢冒险。 【41题详解】 细节理解题。根据“However, some people are risk-takers — they usually do things without thinking too much about the results. For example, teenagers are especially likely to take more risks than others. Why is this?”可知，青少年比成年人更容易冲动，所以15岁的学生最有可能是冒险者，故选B。 【42题详解】 细节理解题。根据“Van, a professor at Leiden University in the Netherlands, uses computer games to find out why some people are more impulsive (容易冲动的) than others.”可知，荷兰莱顿大学的一名教授通过电脑游戏来找出为什么有些人比其他人更冲动，故选A。 【43题详解】 细节理解题。根据“It shows that young people have more active striatums and less active prefrontal cortexes which influence their ability to make careful decisions.”可知，影响青少年做出谨慎的决定的是他们的大脑，故选C。 【44题详解】 词义猜测题。根据“The brain of teenagers is like a car with a very strong engine”及“Its brakes just don’t work well enough to stop them quickly.”可知，青少年的大脑就像一个有非常强大发动机的汽车，冲动起来就会停不下来，就像汽车的刹车不太好用一样；据此可知划线单词“brakes”意为“刹车”。故选B。 【45题详解】 篇章结构题。根据整个文章的理解可知，第一段引出主题；第二段和第三段都是围绕有关游戏实验展开的；第四段和第五段介绍大脑对青少年的影响，C选项符合结构划分，故选C。 六、选词填空（共10小题, 每小题1.5分, 共15分） 根据语篇内容，从方框中选择恰当的单词，并用其正确形式填空。将单词填写在答题卡对应的横线上。每个单词只能用一次。 blind subject know mind offered when stay they from feel Henry is a classmate of mine.
