Located on the island’s east coast, it is a paradise for tourists. Let’s take a look at some things to see and do in Dublin! Visit Trinity College Trinity College Dublin, founded in 1592, is Ireland’s oldest university. The most famous part of this beautiful college is the Old Library. The library houses the Book of Kells, which is an ancient collection of art and stories about some famous people. Enjoy Nature at Phoenix Park When the weather is fine, there’s nothing better than a visit to Phoenix Park, Dublin. This large walled park has plenty to hold your interest. The Dublin Zoo is located within the park, but the zoo isn’t the only place to see animals. The park has been home to a herd of wild deer since the seventeenth century. Take a Walk Across the Ha’penny Bridge Another fun thing to do in Dublin is to simply walk around the historic city. A proper walk around Dublin should include the charming Ha’penny Bridge. It was built over the River Liffey in 1816, and its name came from the cost of walking across it—one halfpenny. Take a few pictures and then enjoy a meal at one of the nearby pubs and restaurants. 1. What can we know about Trinity College? A. It enjoys a long history. B. Its library is little-known. C. It owns a large walled park. D. It’s home to a herd of deer. 2. Why did the Ha’penny Bridge get its name? A. It was built half a century ago. B. The nearby pubs sold food at half price. C. People spent half a penny crossing it. D. Tourists took pictures halfway across it. 3. What is the text? A. A book review. B. A news report. C. A travel brochure. D. A course plan. 【答案】1. A 2. C 3. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇应用文。文章简要介绍了爱尔兰首都都柏林的几个重要景点。 【1题详解】 细节理解题。根据“Visit Trinity College”部分的“Trinity College Dublin, founded in 1592, is Ireland’s oldest university(都柏林三一学院成立于1592年，是爱尔兰最古老的大学)”可知，都柏林三一学院历史悠久，故选A项。 【2题详解】 细节理解题。根据“Take a Walk Across the Ha’penny Bridge”部分的“It was built over the River Liffey in 1816, and its name came from the cost of walking across it—one half penny(它于1816年建在利菲河上，它的名字来源于步行穿过利菲河的费用：半便士)”可知，半便士桥的名字来源于人们过桥需要花费半便士，故选C项。 【3题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“Dublin is the capital of Ireland. Located on the island’s east coast, it is a paradise for tourists. Let’s take a look at some things to see and do in Dublin(都柏林是爱尔兰的首都。它位于岛上的东海岸，是游客的天堂。让我们来看看在都柏林可以看到和做的一些事情)”、“Visit Trinity College(参观三一学院)”、“Enjoy Nature at Phoenix Park(在凤凰公园享受大自然)”以及“Take a Walk Across the Ha’penny Bridge(半便士桥漫步)”可知，本文取自于旅游手册，故选C项。 B Tom was pleased to get a role in the school play. It wasn’t a major role and he had only four or five lines. However, he worked hard at perfecting the lines, repeating them in front of a mirror over and over again, as his drama teacher had suggested. He had great fun rehearsing (排练) with the older students. Then finally the big night came. Suddenly, things felt different. The theater was full of audience. He looked around at those experienced actors and saw the confidence they’d shown at rehearsal seemed to have disappeared. Everyone was on edge. When Tom got on stage, he couldn’t help hurrying into the words he had repeated so many times before. He tried to slow down but, thinking about doing that, he suddenly realized he had missed a sentence. With no time to think it over, he carried on. When he stepped off the stage, his hands felt sweaty and his heart was racing. He didn’t think about what he had achieved. Instead, he was beating himself up for the mistake that he had made. The audience, of course, didn’t know he had missed a sentence. In fact, no one noticed it except his drama teacher. “Well done, ” she said. “Acting is like learning to ride a bike. You may fall off a few times, yet each time you get back on, you do it better. Your performance may not have been perfect but, for your first time, it was great. ” The drama teacher’s words put Tom’s mind at ease. He caught the look of his face in a mirror, which was smiling back at him. Without knowing it, he raised two hands with his thumbs (拇指)up. 4. What do we know about Tom before the big night? A. He was sad about his limited lines. B. He expected a major role in the play. C. He worked hard to prepare for the play. D. He was confident of the play’s success. 5. How did Tom feel when he finished the performance? A. Regretful. B. Relieved. C. Hopeful. D. Confused. 6. Why did Tom raise his hands with thumbs up in the end? A. He got his teacher’s forgiveness. B. He made peace with his imperfection. C. He decided to correct his mistakes. D. He admired his own face in the mirror. 7. What message does the author seem to convey in the text? A. Well begun, half done. B. Hope for the best, prepare for the worst. C. Practice makes perfect. D. Let your fault make you better, not bitter. 【答案】4. C 5. A 6. B 7. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是记叙文。作者通过讲述Tom在演出时紧张并错过了一句台词的经历，告诉我们对待过错的正确态度——要让过错使你变得更好。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中“ However, he worked hard at perfecting the lines, repeating them in front of a mirror over and over again, as his drama teacher had suggested. He had great fun rehearsing (排练) with the older students. Then finally the big night came.(然而，正如他的戏剧老师所建议的那样，他努力完善台词，在镜子前一遍又一遍地重复它们。他和年长的学生们排练得很开心。终于，这一天要来临了。)”可知，在演出以前，Tom努力为这出戏做准备。故选C。 【5题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段中“When he stepped off the stage, his hands felt sweaty and his heart was racing. He didn’t think about what he had achieved. Instead, he was beating himself up for the mistake that he had made.(当他走下舞台时，他的手感到出汗，心跳加速。他没有想过自己所取得了什么成就。相反，他在为自己所犯的错误而自责。)”可知，Tom在表演结束后，为自己所犯的错误而自责，由此可推知，他感到很遗憾，故选A。 【6题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段中“Acting is like learning to ride a bike. You may fall off a few times, yet each time you get back on, you do it better. Your performance may not have been perfect but, for your first time, it was great. (表演就像学骑自行车。你可能会掉下来几次，但是每次你爬上去，你都做得更好。你的表演可能不是完美的，但是，对于你的第一次来说，它是伟大的。)”和最后一段中“The drama teacher’s words put Tom’s mind at ease. He caught the look of his face in a mirror, which was smiling back at him. Without knowing it, he raised two hands with his thumbs (拇指)up.(戏剧老师的话使汤姆放心了。他从镜子里看到了自己的脸，镜子也在向他微笑。不知不觉中，他举起了两只手，竖起了大拇指。)”可推知，经过老师的开解，Tom接受了自己的不完美，所以为自己竖起了大拇指，故选B。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段中“Acting is like learning to ride a bike. You may fall off a few times, yet each time you get back on, you do it better. Your performance may not have been perfect but, for your first time, it was great. (表演就像学骑自行车。你可能会掉下来几次，但是每次你爬上去，你都做得更好。你的表演可能不是完美的，但是，对于你的第一次来说，它是伟大的。)”和最后一段中“The drama teacher’s words put Tom’s mind at ease.

Without knowing it, he raised two hands with his thumbs (拇指)up.(戏剧老师的话使汤姆放心了。他从镜子里看到了自己的脸，镜子也在向他微笑。不知不觉中，他举起了两只手，竖起了大拇指。)”可知，Tom在表演时犯了错误，但是他后来接受了自己的不完美，由此可推知，作者想要表达的是——让你的错误使你变得更好，而不是痛苦。故选D。 C The famous Sanxingdui (三星堆) Ruins site, dating back at least 4,600 years, is located in the city of Guanghan in Sichuan province, about 60 kilometers from Chengdu, the provincial capital. It is believed to be relics of the Shu Kingdom, which survived for over 2, 000 years. The site was accidentally discovered by a farmer in the late1920s. From November 2019 to May 2020, Chinese archaeologists (考古学家) discovered six new sacrificial pits (祭祀坑) at the Sanxingdui Ruins, namely Pit No.3 to Pit No.8. After months of continuous digging at that time, more than 500 important treasures dating back to around 3,000 years were discovered. So far, archaeologists have discovered masses of important cultural items from six of the pits, including pieces of gold masks, gold foil, bronze masks, bronze trees and large numbers of ivories. The rest of the newly discovered pits are still being dug up. “Surprisingly, we have found some never-heard-of-before bronze items,” said Lei Yu, from the Sichuan Archaeology Research Institute. “For instance, some large and well-made bronze items have strange-looking dragon or cow designs on them.” In another major discovery, relics of silk products were found for the first time at Sanxingdui, which shows “the ancient Shu Kingdom was one of the important starts of silk in ancient China”, according to Tang Fei, head of the digging team. The Sanxingdui Ruins site is regarded as one of the world's greatest archaeological findings of the 20th century, attracting millions of visitors from home and abroad now. 8.

Tourism at Sanxingdui Ruins. C. A Discovery of Silk Products. D. New Discoveries at Sanxingdui Ruins. 【答案】8. A 9. D 10. B 11. D 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了三星堆遗址的历史和考古发现等情况。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“The site was accidentally discovered by a farmer in the late1920s.(20世纪20年代末，一位农民偶然发现了这个遗址)”可知，最先发现三星堆遗址的是一个农民，故选A。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“The famous Sanxingdui (三星堆) Ruins site, dating back at least 4,600 years, is located in the city of Guanghan in Sichuan province, about 60 kilometers from Chengdu, the provincial capital.(著名的三星堆遗址位于四川省广汉市，距离省会成都约60公里，距今至少有4600年的历史)”可知，三星堆遗址至少有4600年的历史。故选D。 10题详解】 细节理解题。根据倒数第二段“In another major discovery, relics of silk products were found for the first time at Sanxingdui, which shows “the ancient Shu Kingdom was one of the important starts of silk in ancient China”, according to Tang Fei, head of the digging team.(在另一项重大发现中，在三星堆首次发现了丝绸制品的遗迹，据挖掘小组组长唐飞介绍，这表明“古蜀国是中国古代丝绸的重要开端之一”)”可知，唐飞认为，丝绸制品遗物的发现意味着古蜀国也是丝绸的故乡。故选B。 【11题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第一段“The famous Sanxingdui (三星堆) Ruins site, dating back at least 4,600 years, is located in the city of Guanghan in Sichuan province, about 60 kilometers from Chengdu, the provincial capital.

But as kids grow into teens, everything changes. Teenagers’ brains are now more sensitive to strangers’ voices than those of their own moms’, new research shows. The researchers studied the brains of 7-to-16-year-olds as they listened to things said by their moms or by unfamiliar women. The words were gibberish: teebudieshawlt, keebudieshawlt and peebudieshawlt. Using such words that made no sense allowed the scientists to study the voices, not what they were saying. As the kids listened, certain parts of their brains became active. This was especially true in brain areas that help us to find rewards and pay attention. Daniel Abramis, a researcher at Stanford University, says that younger kids’ brains respond more strongly to their moms’ voices than to strangers’. However, in teenage years, we show the exact opposite. “These areas in the teenage years brains don’t stop responding to moms’ voices,” Abrams explains. “It’s just that unfamiliar voices become more worthy of attention. Here’s why: As kids grow up, they widen their social connections beyond their family. So their brains need to begin paying more attention to that wider world.” But moms’ voices still have special power, especially in times of stress, a 2011 study with girls showed. Levels of stress dropped when these girls heard their moms’ voices on the phone. The brain seems to adapt to new needs that come with teenage years. “As we grow up, our survival depends less and less on our moms’ support.” says Leslie Seltzer, a biological anthropologist at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. “Instead we rely more and more on our friends and others closer to our own age.” “Although both teens and their parents may sometimes feel annoyed, that’s OK,” Abrams says. “This is the way the brain is strange, and there’s a good reason for it.” 12. What does the underlined word “gibberish” in paragraph 2 mean? A. Difficult words. B. Interesting words. C. Long words. D. Meaningless words. 13. Why do teens become more sensitive to unfamiliar voices? A. They need more connections. B. They desire real understanding. C. They are tired of their moms. D. They have more energy to spare. 14. What are moms’ voices like for teens according to the 2011 study? A. Exciting. B. Unpleasant. C Comforting. D. Strange. 15. What is Daniel Abrams’ opinion on teens’ change in their voice preference? A. It deserves scientific prevention. B. It is normal and understandable. C. It is discouraging and problematic. D. It negatively affects-their growth. 【答案】12. D 13. A 14. C 15. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了青少年大脑对妈妈声音和陌生人声音敏感度的变化以及背后的原因。 【12题详解】 词句猜测题。根据划线词下文“Using such words that made no sense allowed the scientists to study the voices, not what they were saying.(使用这些毫无意义的词，科学家可以研究声音本身，而不是它们所表达的意思。)”可知，这些词是毫无意义的，由此可知，gibberish意为“无意义的词”。故选D。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段“As kids grow up, they widen their social connections beyond their family. So their brains need to begin paying more attention to that wider world.(随着孩子们的成长，他们的社交圈子扩展到了家庭之外。所以他们的大脑需要开始更加关注这个更广阔的世界。)”可知，青少年对陌生人的声音更敏感是因为他们需要更多的社交联系。故选A。 【14题详解】 推理判断题。根据第五段“But moms’ voices still have special power, especially in times of stress, a 2011 study with girls showed. Levels of stress dropped when these girls heard their moms’ voices on the phone.(但是，2011年的一项针对女孩的研究表明，妈妈的声音仍然有特殊的力量，尤其是在压力大的情况下。当这些女孩在电话里听到妈妈的声音时，她们的压力水平会下降。)”可知，妈妈的声音对青少年来说是令人安慰的。故选C。 【15题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“Although both teens and their parents may sometimes feel annoyed, that’s OK. This is the way the brain is strange, and there’s a good reason for it.(尽管青少年和他们的父母有时可能会感到烦恼，但这没关系。大脑就是这样奇怪的，而且这是有充分理由的。)”可知，Daniel Abrams认为青少年声音偏好的变化是正常且可以理解的。故选B。 第二节(共5小题;每小题2.5分，满分12.5分) 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 The 24 solar terms (节气) are part of the traditional Chinese calendar.

That afternoon, they had to share their table with another person. That person was a young lady in her twenties. After eating, she went to the restroom. Without realizing, she had left her handphone on the table. Five minutes later, she came out and walked out of the cafe without looking back. Mary saw the handphone on the table. She quickly told Keith, “Keith, the girl left behind her handphone.” Keith looked at the handphone. It was one of the latest models on the market. Looking very sleek, it was red in color with a black cover. The handphone must be expensive. Keith had always wanted a handphone, But his parents refused. He stared at it for some minutes. Then he said slowly, pausing on every word, “I want to take the handphone,” Mary could not believe her eyes. She merely stared at her brother, “you can’t! What if the owner comes to look for it?” Having made the decision, Keith quickly grabbed the handphone and put it in his schoolbag. Then, he took Mary’s hand and led her out of the cafe quickly. Outside the café, he ran to his bicycle. Mary had to run after him. Once back home, Keith locked his house door with trembling hands. Looking at the handphone, he liked it so much. Now he had his own handphone. But Mary told him, “Keith, you cannot keep the handphone. What will you tell father about this handphone?” Keith said quickly, “I will say a friend lent it to me.” Mary said “Now you are lying, too.” Oh dear! When had Keith turned so dishonest? Then Mary saw a house phone number on the plastic cover of the handphone, “This phone number is the girl’s phone number. Why don’t we just call this number? We will talk to her and ask her to come and take back her handphone.” She was trying her best to talk some sense into him. 注意： 1. 所续写短文的词数应为150左右 2. 续写部分分为两段，开头已给出。 Paragraph 1: That night, Keith couldn’t go to sleep, reflecting in bed. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 2: Mary was very happy to hear that. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】Paragraph 1: That night, Keith couldn’t go to sleep, reflecting in bed. He was uncertain about what he should do. Of course, he liked the new handphone. However, he was feeling sorry for the owner. When he thought how sad the young lady would be at the loss of her handphone, he was full of guilt and shame. The next morning, after а long and restless night, he was determined to return the handphone to the owner. After school, he told Mary, “I am going to phone the owner.” Paragraph 2: Mary was very happy to hear that. Back home, they phoned the owner’s house phone. A girl answered the phone. Keith asked, “Are you the owner of the handphone? I’m Keith. I have your handphone. Can you come and get it?” The girl replied “Yes”excitedly, expressing her gratitude repeatedly. Ten minutes later, she was at the same cafe to meet Keith. Handing back the handphone to her and seeing her smile happily, Keith realized that honesty was indeed the best policy. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了一天下午放学后，Mary和他的弟弟Keith在他们家附近的一家咖啡馆吃饭时，另一个女孩把手机遗落在了桌子上，Keith于是拿了手机回家，最后出于愧疚还是归还了手机。 【详解】1. 段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“那天晚上，Keith睡不着，躺在床上想着心事。”可知，第一段可描写Keith内心的挣扎以及做出了归还手机的决定。 ②由第二段首句内容“玛丽听到这个消息很高兴。”可知，第二段可描写Keith归还手机的经过和感悟。 2. 续写线索：Keith无法入睡——Keith内心挣扎——决定归还手机——归还手机——感悟。 3. 词汇激活 行为类 ①决定：be determined to/decide to ②表达：express/show ③意识到：realize/recognize 情绪类 ①悲伤：sad /sorrowful ②感激：gratitude/appreciation 【点睛】[高分句型1]When he thought how sad the young lady would be at the loss of her handphone, he was full of guilt and shame.(when引导时间状语从句) [高分句型2]Keith realized that honesty was indeed the best policy.(that引导宾语从句) 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 2024—2025学年度下学期高一年级期中考试英语科试题 第一部分 听力 (共两节 满分30分) 做题时，先将答案标在试卷上。录音内容结束后，你将有两分钟的时间将试卷上的答案转涂到答题纸上。 第一节 (共5小题;每小题1.5分;满分7.5分) 听下面5段对话。每段对话后有一个小题，从题中所给的A、B、C三个选项中选出最佳选项。听完每段对话后，你都有10秒钟的时间来回答有关小题和阅读下一小题。每段对话仅读一遍。 1.

Located on the island’s east coast, it is a paradise for tourists. Let’s take a look at some things to see and do in Dublin! Visit Trinity College Trinity College Dublin, founded in 1592, is Ireland’s oldest university. The most famous part of this beautiful college is the Old Library. The library houses the Book of Kells, which is an ancient collection of art and stories about some famous people. Enjoy Nature at Phoenix Park When the weather is fine, there’s nothing better than a visit to Phoenix Park, Dublin. This large walled park has plenty to hold your interest. The Dublin Zoo is located within the park, but the zoo isn’t the only place to see animals. The park has been home to a herd of wild deer since the seventeenth century. Take a Walk Across the Ha’penny Bridge Another fun thing to do in Dublin is to simply walk around the historic city. A proper walk around Dublin should include the charming Ha’penny Bridge. It was built over the River Liffey in 1816, and its name came from the cost of walking across it—one halfpenny. Take a few pictures and then enjoy a meal at one of the nearby pubs and restaurants. 1. What can we know about Trinity College? A. It enjoys a long history. B. Its library is little-known. C. It owns a large walled park. D. It’s home to a herd of deer. 2.

It wasn’t a major role and he had only four or five lines. However, he worked hard at perfecting the lines, repeating them in front of a mirror over and over again, as his drama teacher had suggested. He had great fun rehearsing (排练) with the older students. Then finally the big night came. Suddenly, things felt different. The theater was full of audience. He looked around at those experienced actors and saw the confidence they’d shown at rehearsal seemed to have disappeared. Everyone was on edge. When Tom got on stage, he couldn’t help hurrying into the words he had repeated so many times before. He tried to slow down but, thinking about doing that, he suddenly realized he had missed a sentence. With no time to think it over, he carried on. When he stepped off the stage, his hands felt sweaty and his heart was racing. He didn’t think about what he had achieved. Instead, he was beating himself up for the mistake that he had made. The audience, of course, didn’t know he had missed a sentence. In fact, no one noticed it except his drama teacher. “Well done, ” she said. “Acting is like learning to ride a bike. You may fall off a few times, yet each time you get back on, you do it better. Your performance may not have been perfect but, for your first time, it was great. ” The drama teacher’s words put Tom’s mind at ease. He caught the look of his face in a mirror, which was smiling back at him. Without knowing it, he raised two hands with his thumbs (拇指)up. 4. What do we know about Tom before the big night? A. He was sad about his limited lines. B. He expected a major role in the play. C. He worked hard to prepare for the play. D. He was confident of the play’s success. 5. How did Tom feel when he finished the performance? A. Regretful. B. Relieved. C. Hopeful. D. Confused. 6. Why did Tom raise his hands with thumbs up in the end? A. He got his teacher’s forgiveness. B. He made peace with his imperfection. C. He decided to correct his mistakes. D. He admired his own face in the mirror. 7. What message does the author seem to convey in the text? A. Well begun, half done. B. Hope for the best, prepare for the worst. C. Practice makes perfect. D. Let your fault make you better, not bitter. C The famous Sanxingdui (三星堆) Ruins site, dating back at least 4,600 years, is located in the city of Guanghan in Sichuan province, about 60 kilometers from Chengdu, the provincial capital. It is believed to be relics of the Shu Kingdom, which survived for over 2, 000 years. The site was accidentally discovered by a farmer in the late1920s. From November 2019 to May 2020, Chinese archaeologists (考古学家) discovered six new sacrificial pits (祭祀坑) at the Sanxingdui Ruins, namely Pit No.3 to Pit No.8. After months of continuous digging at that time, more than 500 important treasures dating back to around 3,000 years were discovered. So far, archaeologists have discovered masses of important cultural items from six of the pits, including pieces of gold masks, gold foil, bronze masks, bronze trees and large numbers of ivories. The rest of the newly discovered pits are still being dug up. “Surprisingly, we have found some never-heard-of-before bronze items,” said Lei Yu, from the Sichuan Archaeology Research Institute. “For instance, some large and well-made bronze items have strange-looking dragon or cow designs on them.” In another major discovery, relics of silk products were found for the first time at Sanxingdui, which shows “the ancient Shu Kingdom was one of the important starts of silk in ancient China”, according to Tang Fei, head of the digging team. The Sanxingdui Ruins site is regarded as one of the world's greatest archaeological findings of the 20th century, attracting millions of visitors from home and abroad now. 8. Who first discovered the Sanxingdui Ruins site? A. A farmer B. Archaeologists C. Lei Yu D. Tang Fei 9. What can we learn about Sanxingdui Ruins? A. There are only six sacrificial pits. B.

Chinese silk has a much longer history than known. D. Shu Kingdom belonged to China since ancient times. 11. What can be a suitable title for the text? A. The Origin of Shu Culture. B. Tourism at Sanxingdui Ruins. C. A Discovery of Silk Products. D. New Discoveries at Sanxingdui Ruins. D Young kids’ brains are very sensitive (敏感的) to their moms’ voices, science has shown. But as kids grow into teens, everything changes. Teenagers’ brains are now more sensitive to strangers’ voices than those of their own moms’, new research shows. The researchers studied the brains of 7-to-16-year-olds as they listened to things said by their moms or by unfamiliar women. The words were gibberish: teebudieshawlt, keebudieshawlt and peebudieshawlt. Using such words that made no sense allowed the scientists to study the voices, not what they were saying. As the kids listened, certain parts of their brains became active. This was especially true in brain areas that help us to find rewards and pay attention. Daniel Abramis, a researcher at Stanford University, says that younger kids’ brains respond more strongly to their moms’ voices than to strangers’. However, in teenage years, we show the exact opposite. “These areas in the teenage years brains don’t stop responding to moms’ voices,” Abrams explains. “It’s just that unfamiliar voices become more worthy of attention. Here’s why: As kids grow up, they widen their social connections beyond their family. So their brains need to begin paying more attention to that wider world.” But moms’ voices still have special power, especially in times of stress, a 2011 study with girls showed. Levels of stress dropped when these girls heard their moms’ voices on the phone. The brain seems to adapt to new needs that come with teenage years. “As we grow up, our survival depends less and less on our moms’ support.” says Leslie Seltzer, a biological anthropologist at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. “Instead we rely more and more on our friends and others closer to our own age.” “Although both teens and their parents may sometimes feel annoyed, that’s OK,” Abrams says. “This is the way the brain is strange, and there’s a good reason for it.” 12. What does the underlined word “gibberish” in paragraph 2 mean? A. Difficult words. B. Interesting words. C. Long words. D. Meaningless words. 13. Why do teens become more sensitive to unfamiliar voices? A They need more connections. B. They desire real understanding. C. They are tired of their moms. D. They have more energy to spare. 14. What are moms’ voices like for teens according to the 2011 study? A. Exciting. B. Unpleasant. C. Comforting. D. Strange. 15. What is Daniel Abrams’ opinion on teens’ change in their voice preference? A. It deserves scientific prevention. B. It is normal and understandable. C It is discouraging and problematic. D.
