V.阅读理解 b 13.Having a teenager at home can be a real headache.Many teenagers smoke,wear strange hairstyle and even fight. Generally,they are often taking risks. Earlier studies have shown that teenagers are more likely to make irrational decisions than people from any other age group,including children and adults.Isit that teenagers are too young to tellright from wrong?Not really.So what's the reason? According to Laurence,a teacher from a US university,the reason is that teenagers care a lot about how their peers( 龄人)view them一hat is“peer influence”. As children enter their teenage years,they spend more time with their friends and classmates,and also they care more about what they think of them.This makes teenagers make decisions without thinking about the costs. In a test,a group of teenagers were asked to play a video driving game.When they played with their friends watching around them,they took more chances and drove more carelessly because that would increase their possibility of winning. But when they played alone,they drove more safely. Why do peers have such a big influence on teens'behavior? As Laurence sees it,a teenager's brab血is like a car with a good accelerator(油门)but a weak brake(刹车).The “accelerator”is full町developed by teenage years while the“brake”is still not fully developed,.When teenagers are watched by their peers,they usually push hard on the accelerator.With their weak brake,it is likely that they are going to end up in an accident. But the good news is that a violent teenager doesn't necessarily become a violent adult.About two-thirds to three-quarters of violent youth grow out of it."They get more self-controlled." 1.What does the underlined word "irrational"in the 2nd paragraph probably mean? A.Quick.B.Crazy. C.Careful.D.Correct. 2.According to the passage,teenagers often take risks because_ A.They like challenging themselves.B.They are too young to tell right from wrong. C.They don't think about costs.D.They care about what their peers think of them. 3.How does Laurence explain the influence of peer influence on teens'behavior? A.By using a metaphor ()B.By giving real examples. C.By presenting research results.D.By doing experiments. 4.We can learn from the text that A.teenagers are easy to have traffic accidents. B.peer influence has a good influence on teenagers. C.most of the teenagers become less violent when they grow up. D.teenagers shouldn't spend all the free time with their friends. 14.Our voice gives away a lot of information about ourselves.It can tell us our gender()and age.And now,scientists say that it can also tell us our height. Scientists at Washington University,Indiana University and University of California found that listeners could accurately tell the height of speakers,just by their voices.And the key to this mystery is a sound known as the subglottal resonance(声门下共振).Itdeepenswith height and helps us build a mental picture of a person. “The best way to think about s知bglottal resonances is to imag血e blowi血g血to a glass bottle with water.The less water i加 the bottle,the lower sound,"said John Morton,a scientist at Washington University.And it's the same for humans.The frequency of the subglottal resonance depends on the height.The taller we are,the deeper the resonance frequency is. In order to find out whether people could identify the resonance,scientists did experiments.A number of same-sex pairs of different heights were told to read the same sentence aloud.It was played back to listeners who had to choose which one of the pairs was taller.Then,other listeners had to rank the speakers from the shortest to the tallest.The listeners were able to identify the tall people 62.1%of time,much higher than a lucky guess. Why not try the experiment yourself?Find out if your tall friends have deeper voices. 1.The scientists in some American universities found that people's voices A.change more quickly as they get older B.can tell the height of the speaker C.sound different when they have water in their mouth D.can tell the speaker's gender,age and weight 2.The underlined word deepensmight mean in Chinese.

D.Listeners'ability to identify taller speaker is much higher than a lucky guess. 5.The best title of the passage might be A.How to Be Taller B.Our Voice Tells Our Height C.An Experience about Voice D.Something about Subglottal Resonance c 15.Libraries give kids a quiet and safe place to read and learn.For over 100 years,libraries have played an important role in Americans'education.But how are these book-filled buildings changing with the times?You may be surprised to find out.

Scentists say we're all born with a sense of direction,but it is not properly understood how it works.One theory is that people with a good sense of direction have simply worked harder at developing it.Research being carried out at Liverpool Unlversity supports this idea and suggests that if we don't use it,we lose it. "Children as young as seven have the ability to find their way around,"says Jim Martland,Research Director of the project."However,if they are not allowed out alone or are taken everywhere by car,they never develop the skills." Jim Martland also emphasizes()that young people should be taught certain skills to improve their sense of direction.He makes the following suggestions: If you are using a map,turn it so it relates to the way you are facing. If you leave your bike in a strange place,put it near something like a big stone or a tree.Note landmarks on the route as you go away from your bike.When you return,go back along the same route. Simplify the way of finding your direction by using lines such as streets in a town,streams,or walls in the countryside to guide you.Count your steps so that you know how far you have gone and note any landmarks such as tower blocks or hills which can help to find out where you are. Now you need never get lost again! 1.Scientists believe that.

A.tie it to a tree so as to stop it from being stolen B.remember something easily known on the route C.draw a map of the route to help remember where it is D.stay away from taking the same route when you come back to it 4.According to the passage,the best way to find your way around is to.
