The study shows that today’s teenagers are growing up more slowly than those before. Scientists from San Diego State University(大学)have worked on a study on the behaviors(行为)of 8 million teenagers in seven different countries over the past 40 years. The results tell us that compared to the teenagers in the past, today’s teenagers are less responsible(负责任的)and that they take much more time to do things than their parents or grandparents did. They are also less likely to have a part-time job. What’s more, when they get older, they begin to know that they should help their parents do housework, while their grandparents and parents helped do housework at a very early age, “This is a slow life strategy(策略),” said Professor Jean Twenge. “The development(发展)of today’s teenagers has slowed down. 18-year-olds are more like 15-year-olds in the past, ”added Professor Twenge.“ Teenagers are taking far fewer risks(风险)than those did in the past.” Scientists have also found that more teenagers spend longer time living with their parents instead of renting(租)their own room or apartment. One of the reasons (原因)for these behaviors is that today’s teenagers would like to spend much time online. They keep on connecting with social media, watching videos or playing games on the Internet instead of living in the real world. Another one is that parents do much for their children and protect(保护)them too much. In fact, parents had better let their children do everything by themselves. They should try their best to make their children independent as soon as possible. 16. The new study is about the young people who are _. A. 13 years old B.18 years old C.19years old D. teenagers 17. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage? A. The study began from 1966. B. The study is based on 8 million teenagers from America. C. Teenagers in the past took more risks. D. Today’s teenagers don’t like slow life. 18. Why do today’s teenagers grow up slowly? a. Because their parents do too many things for them. b. Because it’s difficult for them to find a job in society. c. Because they dislike living in the real world greatly. d. Because they spend too much time online. A. ab B. bc C. bd D. ad 19. Which of the following shows the RIGHT structure(结构)of the passage? (①=Paragraph 1; ②=Paragraph 2; ③=Paragraph 3; ④=Paragraph 4) A. ①/②/③/④ B. ①②/③④ C. ①/②③/④ D. ①②/③/④ 20. What would be the best title for the passage? A. Teenagers around the World B. The Slow Development of Today’s Teenagers C. A Study on Teenagers in the Past D. Different Ideas about Today’s Teenagers 二. 阅读理解七选五 (共5小题;每小题2分,满分10分) 注意:请将答案涂在答题卡上 E涂AB,F涂AC,G涂AD Have you ever come home from a vacation feeling more tired than you were before you left? _21_ However, as they rush (匆忙)from one place to another, they aren’t really able to take a good rest. Now, imagine(想像)living for a week in a little French house, buying fresh vegetables from the local market every morning, and taking day trips to neighboring villages at your own pace. Does this sound great to you? That’s the magic(魔力) of slow travel. This is no “four-cities-in-seven-days” trip of Europe. _22_ Slow travel can mean(意味着)taking a bike trip from one village to the next. _23_ It can also mean travelling long distances by train instead of (代替)by air so that you can enjoy the scenery (风景) along the way.

Sounds great? _25_ A. If you do feel tired, you’d better not go abroad(国外的)on vacation. B. Instead, you will really slow down and experience (经历)new cultures. C. The next time you will take a trip, remember to try it the slow way. D. The true meaning of travel is to visit as many places as possible. E.
