Books that can help teens manage anxiety
Children experience anxiety differently from adults, and it also looks different in each child. Fortunately, books can serve as tools for guiding children through the anxious thoughts and feelings they may experience. The following are four books that can help children effectively manage their anxiety.
Book 1: The Healthy Coping Colouring Book and Journal by Pooky Knightsmith
This coloring book is specifically designed for children aged 8 to 14 and activities range from coloring to journaling and drawing, all of which are developed to help children deal with troubling situations. The different activities can be beneficial for self-expression.
Book 2: Please Explain Anxiety to Me! by Laurie E. Zelinger and Jordan Zelinger
Written by psychologists, this story breaks down both the physical and emotional symptoms (症状) of anxiety in a way that kids can easily relate to. The story compares the natural anxiety kids feel to dinosaurs fearing being threatened in the wild. It explains that some anxiety (for example, a dinosaur’s anxiety about being eaten) can be our body’s way of protecting us from threats.
Book 3: Crabapple Trouble by Kaeti Vandorn
Written as a graphic (绘画的) novel chapter book for young children, the book contains colorful and engaging pictures. The novel tells a tale of problem solving, building self-confidence, and learning to ask for help. This story opens the door for us to have those conversations with young kids around overcoming anxiety and negative thoughts with positive role models.
Book 4: A Kids Book About Anxiety by Ross Szabo
This book illustrates the experience of anxiety in a way that’s easy for kids to understand. Ross Szabo, a mental health professional, walks children through how to manage their anxiety. This book is a great introductory resource for many children who experience anxiety in one form or another.
21. What’s the common ground of the activities in Book 1?

Sitting in the classroom I felt confused, for I couldn’t read the blackboard. Then Mum took me to the hospital. Within a few days, I was diagnosed (诊断) with a severe visual impairment (视力障碍). In fact, I was practically blind. Amazingly, I’d managed to reach the age of 13 without anyone realizing, not even me! “It all makes sense now,” Mum said. As a kid living on a farm, I was forever falling over things. I was known as the clumsy (笨拙) one to my parents and four sisters. But now, I was being told that I saw the world differently — I could only make out the outlines of things. I was given reading glasses but they didn’t help much.
Refusing to let my diagnosis hold me back, I continued doing everything I loved. As long as everything was in its place, I could feel my way around.
Later I got married to Lance and had amazing kids. I could change nappies (尿布) and dress the kids fine — it just took a little longer as I relied on touch to work out where things were. Cooking, on the other hand, was not my forte. I was terrible — always mixing up sugar and salt!
Nowadays, my grandkids have all been brought up not to leave toys on the floor or move chairs away from the table. “We don’t want Grandma tripping,” Lance will say.
Over the year, I’ve enjoyed lovely family holidays, but sometimes felt like Lance or the kids were too protective of me. So I was thrilled when I booked myself on a trip to the Gold Coast with people who were just like me in a travel company. I’m not missing out — my life is beautiful. I’m so lucky to have a wonderful family and lots of experiences.
Life is precious — you don’t need to “see” that.
24. What can we know from the first paragraph?
A. The reading glasses got the problem fixed.
B. She always tripped because she was awkward.
C. She got severe visual impairment at the age of 13.
D. Nobody realized her sight was poor until she was 13.
25. What does the underlined word “forte” in Paragraph 3 mean?
A. Weakness. B. Favourite. C. Strength. D. Business.
26. What can we know about the author?
A. She is able to see things clearly now.
B. She led a lonely and hopeless life.
C. She could help care for the kids.
D. She went to the Gold Coast all by herself.
27. What can we learn from the author’s story?
A. We need to go to travel frequently on our own.
B. We should always turn to the family for help.
C. Everyone should pay special attention to the blind people.
D. Everyone can enjoy the beauty of life with a positive mind.
C
Learning a new language or picking up a hobby may sound great in theory, but many end up giving up before long. Researchers from Iowa State University have found that spacing (间隔) and retrieval (提取) practice can help promote our learning process.
Study authors define spacing as a strategy to learn in small doses over time. In other words, it’s the opposite of pulling an all-nighter the night before a big test. Meanwhile, retrieval practice requires habitually recalling what one has just learned.
During one study, medical students who received repeated surgery training for three weeks performed far better and faster on tests both two weeks and one year afterward compared to medical students who had the same training all on one day.
Over 200 studies show that people tend to learn and memorize more information for longer periods using retrieval practice compared to other strategies. The results suggest that people who combine both spacing and retrieval practice have the best chance of remembering new information.
But retrieval practice and spacing aren’t used widely. Why? Experts explain that false beliefs regarding how best to learn new information or skills are responsible for that. “Probably the biggest misunderstanding is that learning has to feel easy to be working, and that’s not true at all. You’ll learn more effectively if you insist and get through some challenges.” Prof. Carpenter comments. “And spacing and retrieval practice are really challenging, pushing many learners out of their comfort zone and bringing up insecurities, a fear of failing, or other emotions they want to avoid.” He added.
Prof, Carpenter has integrated retrieval practice and spacing into her university courses via various online tools. Still, she says there are many other ways to bring the strategies into the classroom.
28. Which of the following is an example of retrieval practice?
A. Learning new material for three weeks habitually.
B. Creating new learning content repeatedly in practice.
C. Staying up late reviewing all the notes before an exam.
D. Using flashcards to recall the recent learning content.
29. Why are medical students mentioned in Paragraph 3?
A. To reflect the complex process of learning.
B. To compare spacing with retrieval practice.
C. To demonstrate the necessity of surgery training.
D. To show advantages of spacing and retrieval practice.
30. What do Prof. Carpenter’s comments mainly stress?
A. As long as you insist, you’ll learn more effectively.
B. Learning is more effective after experiencing difficulty.
C. Spacing and retrieval practice are often misunderstood.
D. The easier the learning content is, the better the effect it has.
31. What will the author probably talk about in the following paragraph?
A. The changes to be brought by the two strategies.
B. Some effective tools to support university courses.
C. The influence of online resources on university courses.
D. Other approaches to applying the two strategies to the classroom.
D
A space instrument, designed to map the existence of dust in the atmosphere and help scientists know whether the dust in different parts of the world is likely to trap the heat from the sun or make it change direction, has also shown another vital function: detecting worldwide emission of methane(甲烷排放), which is a powerful greenhouse gas.
The instrument is called the imaging spectrometer(成像光谱仪). It has identified more than 50 methane “super-emitters” in areas including the Middle East and the southwestern United States. The newly measured methane hot spots include large oil and gas centers and places where rubbish is buried.
The observations came as scientists tested the ability of the instrument. Over its task, measurements of surface minerals in dry regions of Africa, Asia, North and South America, and Australia will be collected. The data will be useful for scientists to know if the dust has a warming or cooling effect on the planet. “We have been eager to see how our mineral data will improve climate modeling,” said Kate Calvin, a scientist and senior climate advisor. “This additional methane-detecting ability offers an opportunity to measure and monitor greenhouse gases that contribute to climate change.”
From the space station, the instrument can study large areas many kilometers wide while also centering on small areas the size of a football field. “Some of the plumes(烟雾) the instrument detected are the largest among what we have ever seen—unlike anything that has ever been observed from space,” said Andrew Thorpe, a research technologist.
New images of methane super-emitters include a group of 12 plumes from oil and gas structures in Turkmenistan. Some plumes are more than 32 kilometers wide. Scientists calculate the plume areas all together give off methane nearly at a rate of 50400 kilograms per hour. This is close to the top emission rate of the gas leak in Aliso Canyon near Los Angeles. That event was the largest accidental methane leak in American history.
32. What was the initial purpose of the imaging spectrometer?
A. To identify methane super-emitters. B. To measure the level of methane in the air.
C. To monitor the emission of greenhouse gases. D. To help study the effects of dust in the atmosphere.
33. What does Kate Calvin think of the accidental observations?
A. They’re useful for climate change study. B. They will assist in building climate models.
C. They confirm the scientists’ prediction. D. They set the direction for dust research.
34. How does the author show the methane emissions in Turkmenistan?
A. By describing facts and conducting tests. B. By giving examples and explaining reasons.
C. By listing figures and making comparisons. D. By referring to other studies and analyzing data.
35. Which can be a suitable title for the text?
A. Instrument Mapping the Dust in the Atmosphere
B. Big Methane Emitters Spotted by a Dust Detector
C. Turkmenistan Being a Main Emitter of Methane
D. Major Sources of Methane Emissions Identified

Sitting in the classroom I felt confused, for I couldn’t read the blackboard. Then Mum took me to the hospital. Within a few days, I was diagnosed (诊断) with a severe visual impairment (视力障碍). In fact, I was practically blind. Amazingly, I’d managed to reach the age of 13 without anyone realizing, not even me! “It all makes sense now,” Mum said. As a kid living on a farm, I was forever falling over things. I was known as the clumsy (笨拙) one to my parents and four sisters. But now, I was being told that I saw the world differently — I could only make out the outlines of things. I was given reading glasses but they didn’t help much.
Refusing to let my diagnosis hold me back, I continued doing everything I loved. As long as everything was in its place, I could feel my way around.
Later I got married to Lance and had amazing kids. I could change nappies (尿布) and dress the kids fine — it just took a little longer as I relied on touch to work out where things were. Cooking, on the other hand, was not my forte. I was terrible — always mixing up sugar and salt!
Nowadays, my grandkids have all been brought up not to leave toys on the floor or move chairs away from the table. “We don’t want Grandma tripping,” Lance will say.
Over the year, I’ve enjoyed lovely family holidays, but sometimes felt like Lance or the kids were too protective of me. So I was thrilled when I booked myself on a trip to the Gold Coast with people who were just like me in a travel company. I’m not missing out — my life is beautiful. I’m so lucky to have a wonderful family and lots of experiences.
Life is precious — you don’t need to “see” that.
24. What can we know from the first paragraph?
A. The reading glasses got the problem fixed.
B. She always tripped because she was awkward.
C. She got severe visual impairment at the age of 13.
D. Nobody realized her sight was poor until she was 13.
25. What does the underlined word “forte” in Paragraph 3 mean?
A. Weakness. B. Favourite. C. Strength. D. Business.
26. What can we know about the author?
A. She is able to see things clearly now.
B. She led a lonely and hopeless life.
C. She could help care for the kids.
D. She went to the Gold Coast all by herself.
27. What can we learn from the author’s story?

B. We should always turn to the family for help.
C. Everyone should pay special attention to the blind people.
D. Everyone can enjoy the beauty of life with a positive mind.

【24题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段中的“Within a few days, I was diagnosed (诊断) with a severe visual impairment (视力障碍). In fact, I was practically blind. Amazingly, I’d managed to reach the age of 13 without anyone realizing, not even me! (几天后,我被诊断出患有严重的视力障碍。事实上,我几乎是瞎了。令人惊讶的是,我已经成功地活到了13岁而没有人发现,甚至我自己也没有!)”可知,在作者13岁被诊断出视力障碍之前,没有人意识到她的视力很差。故选D项。
25题详解】
词句猜测题。根据画线词所在句的下一句“I was terrible — always mixing up sugar and salt! (我太糟糕了——总是把糖和盐混在一起!)”可知,作者总是弄混糖和盐,因此她是不擅长烹饪的。由此推知,forte意思是“长处”,与strength意思相近。故选C项。
【26题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段中的“I could change nappies (尿布) and dress the kids fine — it just took a little longer as I relied on touch to work out where things were. (我可以给孩子们换尿布,给他们穿衣服——只是要花更长的时间,因为我要靠触摸来找出东西在哪里。)”可知,虽然作者视力不好,但是可以为孩子们换尿布以及穿衣服,因此是可以帮忙照顾孩子的。故选C项。
【27题详解】
推理判断题。通读全文,并结合最后一段“Life is precious — you don’t need to “see” that. (生命是宝贵的——你不需要去“看”它。)”可知,作者虽然有严重的视力障碍,但是这没有成为她生活的阻碍,她乐观地继续做喜欢的事情,在结婚有了孩子之后可以帮忙照顾孩子,在成为祖母之后独自加入旅行团去欣赏世界的美丽,视力问题不妨碍她用心去体验生命。由此可知,作者的故事告诉我们每个人都可以用积极的心态享受生命的美好。故选D项。
C
Learning a new language or picking up a hobby may sound great in theory, but many end up giving up before long. Researchers from Iowa State University have found that spacing (间隔) and retrieval (提取) practice can help promote our learning process.
Study authors define spacing as a strategy to learn in small doses over time. In other words, it’s the opposite of pulling an all-nighter the night before a big test. Meanwhile, retrieval practice requires habitually recalling what one has just learned.
During one study, medical students who received repeated surgery training for three weeks performed far better and faster on tests both two weeks and one year afterward compared to medical students who had the same training all on one day.
Over 200 studies show that people tend to learn and memorize more information for longer periods using retrieval practice compared to other strategies. The results suggest that people who combine both spacing and retrieval practice have the best chance of remembering new information.
But retrieval practice and spacing aren’t used widely. Why? Experts explain that false beliefs regarding how best to learn new information or skills are responsible for that. “Probably the biggest misunderstanding is that learning has to feel easy to be working, and that’s not true at all. You’ll learn more effectively if you insist and get through some challenges.” Prof. Carpenter comments. “And spacing and retrieval practice are really challenging, pushing many learners out of their comfort zone and bringing up insecurities, a fear of failing, or other emotions they want to avoid.” He added.
Prof, Carpenter has integrated retrieval practice and spacing into her university courses via various online tools. Still, she says there are many other ways to bring the strategies into the classroom.
28. Which of the following is an example of retrieval practice?
A. Learning new material for three weeks habitually.
B. Creating new learning content repeatedly in practice.
C. Staying up late reviewing all the notes before an exam.
D. Using flashcards to recall the recent learning content.
29. Why are medical students mentioned in Paragraph 3?
A. To reflect the complex process of learning.
B. To compare spacing with retrieval practice.
C. To demonstrate the necessity of surgery training.
D. To show advantages of spacing and retrieval practice.
30. What do Prof. Carpenter’s comments mainly stress?
A. As long as you insist, you’ll learn more effectively.
B. Learning is more effective after experiencing difficulty.
C. Spacing and retrieval practice are often misunderstood.
D. The easier the learning content is, the better the effect it has.
31. What will the author probably talk about in the following paragraph?
A. The changes to be brought by the two strategies.
B. Some effective tools to support university courses.
C. The influence of online resources on university courses.
D. Other approaches to applying the two strategies to the classroom.
【答案】28. D 29. D 30. B 31. D

【29题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段“Study authors define spacing as a strategy to learn in small doses over time. In other words, it’s the opposite of pulling an all-nighter the night before a big test. Meanwhile, retrieval practice requires habitually recalling what one has just learned.(研究作者将间隔定义为一种随着时间的推移小剂量学习的策略。换句话说,这与大考前一晚开夜车正好相反。与此同时,检索练习要求习惯性地回忆刚刚学过的东西。)”和第三段“During one study, medical students who received repeated surgery training for three weeks performed far better and faster on tests both two weeks and one year afterward compared to medical students who had the same training all on one day.(在一项研究中,接受三周重复手术训练的医学生在两周和一年后的测试中都比只接受一天相同训练的医学生表现得更好更快。)”可知,第三段提到了医学生是为了展示间隔和检索练习的优势。故选D。
【30题详解】
推理判断题。根据倒数第二段“Probably the biggest misunderstanding is that learning has to feel easy to be working, and that’s not true at all. You’ll learn more effectively if you insist and get through some challenges.(可能最大的误解是,学习必须让人感觉轻松,这根本不是真的。如果你坚持并克服一些挑战,你会学得更有效。)”可知,Carpenter教授的评论主要强调经历困难后学习更有效。故选B。
【31题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“Still, she says there are many other ways to bring the strategies into the classroom.(不过,她说还有很多其他的方法可以将这些策略引入课堂。)”可知,接下来要讲的是将这两种策略应用于课堂的其他方法。故选D。
D
A space instrument, designed to map the existence of dust in the atmosphere and help scientists know whether the dust in different parts of the world is likely to trap the heat from the sun or make it change direction, has also shown another vital function: detecting worldwide emission of methane(甲烷排放), which is a powerful greenhouse gas.
The instrument is called the imaging spectrometer(成像光谱仪). It has identified more than 50 methane “super-emitters” in areas including the Middle East and the southwestern United States. The newly measured methane hot spots include large oil and gas centers and places where rubbish is buried.
The observations came as scientists tested the ability of the instrument. Over its task, measurements of surface minerals in dry regions of Africa, Asia, North and South America, and Australia will be collected. The data will be useful for scientists to know if the dust has a warming or cooling effect on the planet. “We have been eager to see how our mineral data will improve climate modeling,” said Kate Calvin, a scientist and senior climate advisor. “This additional methane-detecting ability offers an opportunity to measure and monitor greenhouse gases that contribute to climate change.”
From the space station, the instrument can study large areas many kilometers wide while also centering on small areas the size of a football field. “Some of the plumes(烟雾) the instrument detected are the largest among what we have ever seen—unlike anything that has ever been observed from space,” said Andrew Thorpe, a research technologist.
New images of methane super-emitters include a group of 12 plumes from oil and gas structures in Turkmenistan. Some plumes are more than 32 kilometers wide. Scientists calculate the plume areas all together give off methane nearly at a rate of 50400 kilograms per hour. This is close to the top emission rate of the gas leak in Aliso Canyon near Los Angeles. That event was the largest accidental methane leak in American history.
32. What was the initial purpose of the imaging spectrometer?
A. To identify methane super-emitters. B. To measure the level of methane in the air.
C. To monitor the emission of greenhouse gases. D. To help study the effects of dust in the atmosphere.
33. What does Kate Calvin think of the accidental observations?
A. They’re useful for climate change study. B. They will assist in building climate models.
C. They confirm the scientists’ prediction. D. They set the direction for dust research.
34. How does the author show the methane emissions in Turkmenistan?
A. By describing facts and conducting tests. B. By giving examples and explaining reasons.
C. By listing figures and making comparisons. D. By referring to other studies and analyzing data.
35. Which can be a suitable title for the text?
A. Instrument Mapping the Dust in the Atmosphere
B. Big Methane Emitters Spotted by a Dust Detector
C. Turkmenistan Being a Main Emitter of Methane
D. Major Sources of Methane Emissions Identified
【答案】32. D 33. A 34. C 35. B

That event was the largest accidental methane leak in American history.(这接近洛杉矶附近阿利索峡谷气体泄漏的最高排放率。那是美国历史上最大的甲烷泄漏事故。)”可知,作者用了作比较的方法。故选C。
【35题详解】
主旨大意题。根据文章第一段“A space instrument, designed to map the existence of dust in the atmosphere and help scientists know whether the dust in different parts of the world is likely to trap the heat from the sun or make it change direction, has also shown another vital function: detecting worldwide emission of methane, which is a powerful greenhouse gas.(一种旨在绘制大气中尘埃存在地图并帮助科学家了解世界不同地区的尘埃是否有可能捕获来自太阳的热量或使其改变方向的太空仪器也显示出另一项重要功能:探测全球甲烷的排放,甲烷是一种强大的温室气体。)”和第二段“The instrument is called the imaging spectrometer. It has identified more than 50 methane “super-emitters” in areas including the Middle East and the southwestern United States.(这种仪器被称为成像光谱仪。它已经在中东和美国西南部等地区确定了50多个甲烷“超级排放者”。)”可知,一种成像光谱仪原本旨在帮助科学家了解大气中的尘埃的影响,却意外地发现了50多个甲烷“超级排放者”。B项:Big Methane Emitters Spotted by a Dust Detector.( 尘埃探测器发现了巨大的甲烷排放者。)是最合适的标题。故选B。

【60题详解】

【62题详解】
考查介词。句意:格雷夫斯教授说:“我整个职业生涯都致力于寻找外星生命,所以,我们可能在金星上发现了生命迹象的想法令人兴奋。”devote…to…为固定搭配,意为“致力于”。故填to。
【63题详解】
考查冠词。句意同上。此处对idea进行特指,需用定冠词the修饰。故填the。
【64题详解】
考查宾语从句。句意:但我们鼓励其他人提出他们的想法,并帮助我们找出我们可能遗漏了什么。空处引导宾语从句,从句缺少宾语,指物,需用连接代词what引导。故填what。
【65题详解】
考查状语从句。句意:尽管这一谜团尚未解开,但这种气体的发现再次激发了人们对寻找外星生命的兴趣。表示“尽管”应用although/though/while引导让步状语从句,位于句首,首字母需大写。故填Although/Though/While。
