The change from middle school to high school is significant, with new responsibilities, a larger student body, and more challenging coursework. However, with the right attitude and strategies, freshmen can successfully transition into high school life. 1. Get to Know Your Surroundings   One of the first things freshmen should do is to familiarize themselves with their new surroundings. This includes finding the locations of classrooms, libraries, cafeterias, and other important school buildings. Knowing where to go will help reduce anxiety and make it easier to navigate the school. 2. Make Friends and Build a Support System Making friends in high school is crucial. A strong support system of friends can help you through tough times and make high school more enjoyable. Be open to meeting new people and don’t be afraid to initiate conversations. Participate in extracurricular activities or join clubs to meet like-minded individuals. 3. Stay Organized and Plan Ahead High school coursework is more challenging than middle school, and staying organized is key to success. Develop a planner or use a digital calendar to keep track of assignments, tests, and extracurricular activities. This will help you manage your time effectively and ensure that you don’t fall behind in your studies. 4. Seek Help When Needed Don’t be afraid to ask for help when you need it. Teachers, counselors, and even older students can provide valuable advice and support. If you’re struggling with a subject, don’t hesitate to attend after-school help sessions or seek tutoring. Remember, asking for help is a sign of strength, not weakness. 5. Take Care of Yourself Finally, it’s important to take care of your physical and mental health. Make sure to get enough sleep, eat nutritious meals, and stay active. High school can be stressful, so finding ways to manage stress, such as exercising, reading, or spending time with friends, is essential. Starting high school can be challenging, but with the right strategies in place, freshmen can make a smooth transition into this new chapter of their lives.

Learning is not confined to the four walls of a classroom. It is a continuous process that happens all around us, in every corner of our lives. From the moment we wake up in the morning to the time we go to bed at night, we are constantly absorbing new information and gaining insights that shape our understanding of the world. One of the most overlooked places for learning is our own homes. The environment we live in, the people we interact with, and the activities we engage in all contribute to our learning experience. For instance, cooking with our parents can teach us valuable life skills such as time management, patience, and the importance of nutrition. Similarly, engaging in household chores can foster a sense of responsibility and independence. The workplace is another rich environment for learning. Whether we are students on work placements or professionals in our careers, the workplace provides us with opportunities to apply theoretical knowledge in practical situations, develop communication skills, and learn about teamwork and leadership. Travel is another great way to broaden our horizons and enhance our learning experience. By visiting new places, meeting new people, and experiencing different cultures, we can gain a deeper understanding of the world and its diversity. Travel not only enriches our knowledge but also helps us develop empathy and respect for others. Finally, technology has revolutionized the way we learn. The internet provides us with access to a vast amount of information and resources, from academic research to everyday news. Online courses, educational apps, and interactive platforms make learning more accessible and convenient than ever before. In conclusion, learning takes place everywhere, and it is up to us to seize every opportunity to expand our knowledge and skills. By staying curious and open to new experiences, we can continue to grow and develop as individuals. 23．What is the main idea of the passage? A．Learning only happens in the classroom. B．Learning is a continuous process that takes place everywhere. C．The workplace is the best place for learning. D．Technology has made learning obsolete. 24．According to the passage, which of the following is NOT mentioned as a place for learning? A．The classroom. B．The workplace. C．The gym. D．One’s own home. 25．What can cooking with parents teach us? A．How to manage money. B．Valuable life skills such as time management and patience. C．How to become a chef. D．The importance of social media. 26．How does travel contribute to our learning experience? A．By limiting our exposure to new cultures. B．By broadening our horizons and enhancing our understanding of the world. C．By making us less empathetic towards others. D．By making us more dependent on technology. Throughout history, people have been traders. In the early 1800s, a group of trappers called “mountain men” would venture into mountains for days and weeks at a time. They’d return with animal furs that people could use for clothing. At an event called a “rendezvous”, the mountain men would trade the furs with people who lived nearby. When the rendezvous was over, the mountain men would go back into the wild to collect more furs. At the annual Trappers’ Rendezvous, an event hosted in Kansas, hundreds of children gather for a weekend of exciting activities. One of the highlights; trading, of course. At most camps, trading is just a side activity. At the Trappers’ Rendezvous, it’s part of the learning process. “One of the craziest things I traded was five multi-tools for a lighter and a knife,” says 12-year-old Gabriel Rodgers. The Trappers’ Rendezvous also features a series of stations where children can practice skills that could be applied to the old days of the mountain men or to a modern campout. They learned how to start fires without matches, and how to throw tomahawks (战斧) at wooden targets, “I had never thrown a tomahawk before,” says Jaden Bernard, 12. “You have to learn how to hold it and how hard to throw it. I had one bounce right off the target.” Throughout the event, participants also learned about rea-life mountain men. Adults dressed in period clothing were available to tell old adventure stories. Take, for example, Hugh Glass, a mountain man who was attacked by a bear in 1823. His companions thought there was no way he’d survive his injuries, so they left him in the woods to die. But Glass didn’t die. Instead, he made his way to safety over the next six weeks, traveling 200 miles in spite of his serious injuries. “It takes you back in time to how they had to hunt, how they built their shelters and how things happened back then,” 14-year-old Chris Cooper says. 27．What did the mountain men do at the “rendezvous” event? A．They collected animal furs. B．They bought clothes to wear. C．They trapped animals for food. D．They exchanged furs for other things. 28．What does Jaden Bernard think of tomahawk-throwing? A．Modern. B．Difficult. C．Boring. D．Comforting. 29．How did Chris Cooper learn about Hugh Glass? A．By hunting a bear the way he did. B．By building a shelter similar to his. C．By listening to a story happening to him. D．By wearing period clothing to act out his story. 30．What is the purpose of this text? A．To explain the history of trading. B．To describe mountain men’s life. C．To introduce a youth gathering event. D．To teach some survival skills in the wild. Here comes 4 most popular clubs in our school!

Going from junior high school to senior high school is a really big challenge. The first week was a little confusing. First, I had to think very carefully about which courses I wanted to take. The school adviser helped me choose the suitable ones: maths, English, chemistry, world history, and Chinese. I know that Chinese is a very difficult language, but I hope to be fluent when I graduate. My adviser recommended that I should sign up for advanced literature because I like English and I’m good at it. I had to choose extra-curricular activities, too. I tried to join the school football team, but the coach told me that I didn’t play well enough. Obviously, I was unhappy, but I won’t quit. I’ll find a way to improve on my own so that I can make the team next year. I joined a volunteer club instead. Every Wednesday, we work at a soup kitchen and hand out food to homeless people in the community. I know I’ll have to study harder as a senior high school student and get used to being responsible for a lot more. I’m a bit worried about keeping up with the other students in my advanced course, and it’ll be quite difficult to get used to all the homework. Still, I’m happy to be here. Studying hard isn’t always fun, but I’ll be well prepared for university or whatever else comes in the future. 34．Scan the text and match the general idea of each paragraph. Para. 1 Para. 2 Para. 3 Para. 4 A．With the help of the adviser, Adam chose his courses. B．Adam describes his present study and his ambition. C． Adam, a freshman, faces a really big challenge in the first week. D．Adam chose his extra-curricular activities. 35．What does Adam feel in his first week at school? A．Confused. B．Angry. C．Happy. D．Worried. 36．Why does Adam choose advanced literature? A．Because he thinks it to be useful in the future. B．Because he has a good knowledge of English. C．Because his mother language is English. D．Because he prefers it to any other courses. 37．What did Adam do when he failed to join the school football team? A．He felt very happy and joined another club. B．He didn’t join any extra-curricular activities any more. C．He made up his mind to make the team next year. D．He quit the dream and became a volunteer. 38．What can we infer from the last paragraph? A．The senior high school is boring. B．The school life is difficult. C．The school is both challenging and fun. D．Adam grows up step by step. 39．Fill in the blanks according to the text. Adam, a freshman at senior high school, found his first week a little (confuse) and a great challenge. Luckily, the school adviser helped him choose the (suit) courses. One of the courses he chose is Chinese, he hopes he can speak it (fluent) after graduation. He also signed up advanced literature because he likes English and he is good at it. As for extra-curricular (activity), he didn’t give up football though the coach turned him away. He joined a club in order (make) the school football team next year. Though high school is difficult, he is determined to study even (hard) and be well (prepare) for university and else he will meet with in the future. I heard many parents complaining that their teenage children are rebelling. I wish it were so. At your age you ought to be growing away from your parents. You should be learning to stand on your own feet. But take a good look at the present rebellion. It seems that teenagers are taking the same way of showing that they disagree with their parents. Instead of striking out boldly on their own, most of them are clutching at one another’s hands for reassurance. They claim they want to dress as they please. But they all wear the same clothes. Then set off in new directions in music. But somehow they all end up with listening to the same record together. Their reason for thinking or acting in thus-and-such a way is that many people are doing it. They have come out of their cocoon into a larger cocoon. It has become harder and harder for a teenager to stand up against the popularity wave and go his or her own way. Industry has firmly carved out a teenage market. These days every teenager can learn from the advertisements what a teenager should have and be. And many of today’s parents have come to award high marks for the popularity of their children. All this adds to a great barrier for the teenager who wants to find his or her own path. But the barrier is worth climbing over. The path is worth following. You may want to listen to classical music instead of going to a party. You may want to collect rocks when everyone else is collecting records. You may have some thoughts that you don’t care to share with your classmates at once, well, go to it. Find yourself. Popularity will come with the people who respect you for who you are. That is the only kind of popularity that really counts. 40．In this passage, the author wants to tell______. A．teenagers how to learn to decide things for themselves B．readers how to be popular with people around C．parents how to control and guide their children D．people how to understand and respect each other 41．According to the author, many teenagers think they are brave enough to act on their own, but in fact, most of them______. A．have much difficulty understanding each other B．lack confidence C．dare not cope with problems single-handed D．are much afraid of getting lost 42．What does the author think of advertisements? A．Convincing. B．Influential. C．Instructive. D．Authoritative(权威的). 43．During the teenage years, one should learn to______. A．differ from others in as many ways as possible B．get into the right reason and become popular C．find one’s real self D．rebel against parents and the popularity wave Hospital visits aren’t always easy, especially if you’re not sure what to do or say. 44 Before you head off to see someone in the hospital, have a read through the following suggestions to ensure that you’re all set for a smooth visit. 45 Even if there are visiting hours provided on the website, etc., the person you are wanting to see may not be well enough to see anyone at the time. If the patient’s door is closed, knock and wait for permission to enter. You can’t be sure whether or not a medical procedure is taking place or if the patient is sleeping. Keep your visit brief. The patient is likely to tire easily but may be too polite to ask you to leave. Also remember that you’re not likely to be the only visitor and having many visitors can be tiring. Don’t ask about any surgical (外科的) or test results. If the patient wants you to know, he or she will tell you. 46 Bring a gift card. Instead of flowers or candy, consider purchasing a gift card in the patient’s favorite store. Certain patients usually can’t eat for several days, so candy isn’t a very sensible gift. 47 They are usually a nuisance (麻烦事) when the patient is ready to go home. 48 If there is any bad news from home or work, try your best not to tell it unless you think that it is absolutely necessary. It is best for the patient not to be told of bad news until they’re well enough to cope again. Assure the patient that he or she is missed at work, school, or social groups. Days are very long at the hospital, and a patient can quickly feel isolated (孤独的) and out of touch. A．Stay positive. B．Observe the hospital’s visiting hours. C．Call first to make sure visitors are allowed. D．Fortunately, there is advice in place for visiting a patient. E．Hospital rooms are small and there may not be room for flowers. F．If they feel really ill, they’re genuinely not up to receiving visitors. G．Otherwise, this can seem too personal and be thought to be the patient’s privacy. Are you preparing for a big test? If so, you may want to play some basketball in between hitting the books. Doctors are starting to find more and more information that suggests a connection between exercise and brain development. Judy Cameron, a scientist at Oregon Health and Oregon Health and Science University, studies brain development. According to her research, it seems that exercise can make blood vessels(管), including those in the brain, stronger and more fully developed. Dr. Cameron claims this allows people who exercise to concentrate better. As she says, "While we already know that exercise is good for the heart, exercise can really cause physical changes in the brain." The effects of exercise on brain development can even be seen in babies. Babies who do activities that require a lot of movement and physical activity show greater brain development than babies who are less physically active. With babies, even a little movement can show big results. Margaret Barnes, a pediatrician(儿科医生), believes in the importance of exercise. She thinks that many learning disabilities that children have in elementary school or high school can be traced back to a lack of movement as babies. "Babies need movement that stimulates their five senses. They need to establish a connection between motion and memory. In this way, as they get older, children will begin to associate physical activity with higher learning," says Margaret. Older people can beef up their brains as well. Scientists from 11 universities studied a group of seniors ranging in age from seventy to seventy-nine. Their study showed a short-term memory increase of up to 40 percent after exercising just three hours a week. The exercise does not have to be very difficult, but it does have to increase the heart rate. Also, just like the motion for infants (婴儿), exercise for older people should involve some complexity. Learning some new skills or motions, such as with yoga or tai-chi, helps to open up memory paths in the brain that may not have been used for a long time. For most people, any type of physical activity that increases the heart rate is helpful. The main goal is to increase the brain's flow of blood. And your brain can benefit from as little as three hours of exercise a week. 49．What is the best title of this passage? A．How to exercise B．How exercise helps the brain C．How to get good scores on a test D．How the brain can change 50．According to the reading, what is the connection between exercise and brain development? A．Exercise makes us stupid. B．The brain needs special mental exercise. C．The more exercise, the bigger the brain. D．Physical exercise helps us think better. 51．The mini amount of excises required to gain any benefit is ________. A．three hours per week B．40hours per week C．three hours per day D．40hours per month. 52．Why does the author think that yoga is fit for seniors? A．It is easy to learn. B．It can be done in groups. C．It does not increase the heart rate. D．It includes learning new motions. 1 / 14 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ Unit 1 Teenage Life青少年生活 话题阅读精练 一、常见阅读题型与解题技巧 1. 主旨大意题 · 提问方式： · What is the main idea of the passage? · The text mainly discusses ______. · 技巧： · 关注首段、尾段及每段首句，抓住反复出现的关键词（如 pressure, balance, challenges）。 · 排除细节性选项（如具体例子或数据）。 2. 细节理解题 · 提问方式： · According to the passage, teenagers feel stressed because ______. · How many suggestions does the author give to manage time? · 技巧： · 定位关键词（如数字、专有名词、因果关系词 because, due to），在原文中划出对应句子。 3. 词义猜测题 · 提问方式： · The word “hectic” (Line 3) probably means ______. · 技巧： · 通过上下文逻辑（并列、转折）或构词法（如 -ic 结尾多为形容词）推断。 · 例句：A hectic schedule leaves teens no time to relax. → 可猜为“忙碌的”。 4. 推理判断题 · 提问方式： · What can we infer from the passage? · The author would probably agree that ______. · 技巧： · 依据原文信息合理推断，避免主观臆断。 · 注意作者态度词（如 should, recommend, criticize）。 5. 篇章结构题 · 提问方式： · How is the passage organized? · The author develops the passage by ______. · 技巧： · 分析段落逻辑：问题-解决（Problem-Solution）、对比（Comparison）、因果（Cause-Effect）。 二、高频话题词汇与主题 1. 学习压力 · 词汇：academic pressure, exam anxiety, overloaded homework · 例句：Many teens suffer from sleep deprivation due to cramming for exams. 2. 时间管理 · 词汇：prioritize tasks, set deadlines, avoid procrastination · 例句：Time-management apps can help students stay on track. 3. 社交与心理健康 · 词汇：peer pressure, self-esteem, social media addiction · 例句：Comparing oneself to others online may lower self-confidence. 4. 志愿活动与成长 · 词汇：volunteer experience, develop skills, broaden horizons · 例句：Community service teaches teens responsibility and teamwork. 一、阅读理解 Here comes 5 most popular clubs in our school!

It is a continuous process that happens all around us, in every corner of our lives. From the moment we wake up in the morning to the time we go to bed at night, we are constantly absorbing new information and gaining insights that shape our understanding of the world. One of the most overlooked places for learning is our own homes. The environment we live in, the people we interact with, and the activities we engage in all contribute to our learning experience. For instance, cooking with our parents can teach us valuable life skills such as time management, patience, and the importance of nutrition. Similarly, engaging in household chores can foster a sense of responsibility and independence. The workplace is another rich environment for learning.

By visiting new places, meeting new people, and experiencing different cultures, we can gain a deeper understanding of the world and its diversity. Travel not only enriches our knowledge but also helps us develop empathy and respect for others. Finally, technology has revolutionized the way we learn. The internet provides us with access to a vast amount of information and resources, from academic research to everyday news. Online courses, educational apps, and interactive platforms make learning more accessible and convenient than ever before.

In the early 1800s, a group of trappers called “mountain men” would venture into mountains for days and weeks at a time. They’d return with animal furs that people could use for clothing. At an event called a “rendezvous”, the mountain men would trade the furs with people who lived nearby. When the rendezvous was over, the mountain men would go back into the wild to collect more furs. At the annual Trappers’ Rendezvous, an event hosted in Kansas, hundreds of children gather for a weekend of exciting activities. One of the highlights; trading, of course. At most camps, trading is just a side activity. At the Trappers’ Rendezvous, it’s part of the learning process. “One of the craziest things I traded was five multi-tools for a lighter and a knife,” says 12-year-old Gabriel Rodgers. The Trappers’ Rendezvous also features a series of stations where children can practice skills that could be applied to the old days of the mountain men or to a modern campout. They learned how to start fires without matches, and how to throw tomahawks (战斧) at wooden targets, “I had never thrown a tomahawk before,” says Jaden Bernard, 12. “You have to learn how to hold it and how hard to throw it. I had one bounce right off the target.” Throughout the event, participants also learned about rea-life mountain men. Adults dressed in period clothing were available to tell old adventure stories. Take, for example, Hugh Glass, a mountain man who was attacked by a bear in 1823. His companions thought there was no way he’d survive his injuries, so they left him in the woods to die. But Glass didn’t die. Instead, he made his way to safety over the next six weeks, traveling 200 miles in spite of his serious injuries. “It takes you back in time to how they had to hunt, how they built their shelters and how things happened back then,” 14-year-old Chris Cooper says. 27．What did the mountain men do at the “rendezvous” event? A．They collected animal furs. B．They bought clothes to wear. C．They trapped animals for food. D．They exchanged furs for other things. 28．What does Jaden Bernard think of tomahawk-throwing? A．Modern. B．Difficult. C．Boring. D．Comforting. 29．How did Chris Cooper learn about Hugh Glass? A．By hunting a bear the way he did. B．By building a shelter similar to his. C．By listening to a story happening to him. D．By wearing period clothing to act out his story. 30．What is the purpose of this text? A．To explain the history of trading. B．To describe mountain men’s life. C．To introduce a youth gathering event. D．To teach some survival skills in the wild. 【答案】27．D 28．B 29．C 30．C 【导语】这是一篇新闻报道。文章主要介绍了一个特别的青少年集训活动，活动内容包括进行古代山民“以物易物”的活动，学习他们的野外生存技能以及聆听发生在他们身上的真实故事。 27．细节理解题。根据第一段中“At an event called a “rendezvous”, the mountain men would trade the furs with people who lived nearby.”（在一个叫做“会合”的活动上，山人会和住在附近的人交换毛皮。）可知，在rendezvous活动上，那些山民们会用皮毛与住在附近的人么交换其他的物品。故选D。 28．推理判断题。根据Jaden Bernard在第三段最后说的话““I had never thrown a tomahawk before,” says Jaden Bernard, 12. “You have to learn how to hold it and how hard to throw it. I had one bounce right off the target.””（“我以前从未投掷过战斧，”12岁的杰登·伯纳德说。“你必须学会如何持战斧，如何用力投战斧。有一次一个战斧直接弹离目标。”）可知，Jaden Bernard从前从未扔过战斧，在他看来，战斧的握法和扔战斧的力度都得学习才能掌握相关技巧。由此可推知，他认为扔战斧不是一件容易的事情。故选B。 29．细节理解题。根据最后一段中“Adults dressed in period clothing were available to tell old adventure stories. Take, for example, Hugh Glass, a mountain man who was attacked by a bear in 1823.”（穿着古装的成年人可以讲古老的冒险故事。以Hugh Glass为例，他是一位山民，1823年被熊袭击。）可知，该活动的其中一项内容是成人穿着具有时代特色的衣服给孩子们讲真实的山民的故事，Hugh Glass是古时候 一个山民，Chris Cooper 是通过听故事这种方式了解到了Hugh Glass的事迹。故选C。 30．推理判断题。第一段通过介绍古代山民“以物易物”的活动，引出本文的主题——一个青年集训营活动。第二段的首句介绍了该活动的举办地点和参与人员等基本信息，第二段其余部分以及第三段、最后一段分别介绍了该活动的三项内容，可知本文的写作目的是要介绍一个青年集训活动。故选C。 Here comes 4 most popular clubs in our school!

My name is Adam and I’m a freshman at senior high school. Going from junior high school to senior high school is a really big challenge. The first week was a little confusing. First, I had to think very carefully about which courses I wanted to take. The school adviser helped me choose the suitable ones: maths, English, chemistry, world history, and Chinese. I know that Chinese is a very difficult language, but I hope to be fluent when I graduate. My adviser recommended that I should sign up for advanced literature because I like English and I’m good at it. I had to choose extra-curricular activities, too. I tried to join the school football team, but the coach told me that I didn’t play well enough. Obviously, I was unhappy, but I won’t quit. I’ll find a way to improve on my own so that I can make the team next year. I joined a volunteer club instead. Every Wednesday, we work at a soup kitchen and hand out food to homeless people in the community. I know I’ll have to study harder as a senior high school student and get used to being responsible for a lot more. I’m a bit worried about keeping up with the other students in my advanced course, and it’ll be quite difficult to get used to all the homework. Still, I’m happy to be here. Studying hard isn’t always fun, but I’ll be well prepared for university or whatever else comes in the future. 34．Scan the text and match the general idea of each paragraph.

I wish it were so. At your age you ought to be growing away from your parents. You should be learning to stand on your own feet. But take a good look at the present rebellion. It seems that teenagers are taking the same way of showing that they disagree with their parents. Instead of striking out boldly on their own, most of them are clutching at one another’s hands for reassurance. They claim they want to dress as they please. But they all wear the same clothes. Then set off in new directions in music. But somehow they all end up with listening to the same record together. Their reason for thinking or acting in thus-and-such a way is that many people are doing it. They have come out of their cocoon into a larger cocoon. It has become harder and harder for a teenager to stand up against the popularity wave and go his or her own way. Industry has firmly carved out a teenage market. These days every teenager can learn from the advertisements what a teenager should have and be. And many of today’s parents have come to award high marks for the popularity of their children. All this adds to a great barrier for the teenager who wants to find his or her own path. But the barrier is worth climbing over. The path is worth following. You may want to listen to classical music instead of going to a party. You may want to collect rocks when everyone else is collecting records. You may have some thoughts that you don’t care to share with your classmates at once, well, go to it. Find yourself. Popularity will come with the people who respect you for who you are. That is the only kind of popularity that really counts. 40．In this passage, the author wants to tell______. A．teenagers how to learn to decide things for themselves B．readers how to be popular with people around C．parents how to control and guide their children D．people how to understand and respect each other 41．According to the author, many teenagers think they are brave enough to act on their own, but in fact, most of them______. A．have much difficulty understanding each other B．lack confidence C．dare not cope with problems single-handed D．are much afraid of getting lost 42．What does the author think of advertisements? A．Convincing. B．Influential. C．Instructive. D．Authoritative(权威的). 43．During the teenage years, one should learn to______. A．differ from others in as many ways as possible B．get into the right reason and become popular C．find one’s real self D．rebel against parents and the popularity wave 【答案】40．A 41．C 42．B 43．C 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。青少年的叛逆很正常但作者认为现在的青少年往往会随大流而很难实现独立的有个性的自我。文章是关于反叛期的青少年如何做。 40．主旨大意题。根据第一段中“At your age you ought to be growing away from your parents. You should be learning to stand on your own feet.(在你这个年龄，你应该逐渐远离父母。你应该学会自立)”结合文章是关于反叛期的青少年如何做。可知，在这篇文章中，作者想说明青少年如何学会自己决定事情。故选A。 41．细节理解题。根据第一段最后一句“Instead of striking out boldly on their own, most of them are clutching at one another’s hands for reassurance.(他们中的大多数人不是勇敢地自己出击，而是紧紧地抓住对方的手以获得安慰)”及第二段“They claim they want to dress as they please. But they all wear the same clothes. Then set off in new directions in music. But somehow they all end up with listening to the same record together. Their reason for thinking or acting in thus-and-such a way is that many people are doing it. They have come out of their cocoon into a larger cocoon.(他们声称自己想要随心所欲地打扮。但是他们都穿同样的衣服。然后开始在音乐上的新方向。但不知怎么的，他们最后都听了同一张唱片。他们之所以这样思考或这样行动，是因为很多人都在这么做。他们已经破茧而出，变成了一个更大的茧)”可知，作者认为，许多青少年认为他们有足够的勇气自己行动，但事实上，他们中的大多数人不敢独自处理问题。故选C。 42．推理判断题。根据第三段中“Industry has firmly carved out a teenage market. These days every teenager can learn from the advertisements what a teenager should have and be.(工业已经牢牢地开辟了一个青少年市场。如今，每个青少年都可以从广告中学到一个青少年应该拥有什么和成为什么)”可推知，广告对青少年是有影响力的。故选B。 43．细节理解题。根据最后一段中“You may want to listen to classical music instead of going to a party. You may want to collect rocks when everyone else is collecting records. You may have some thoughts that you don’t care to share with your classmates at once, well, go to it. Find yourself.(你可能想听古典音乐而不是去参加聚会。当别人都在收集唱片时，你可能想收集石头。你可能有一些想法你不想马上和你的同学分享，好吧，去吧。发现自己)”可知，在青少年时期，一个人应该学会寻找真实的自己。故选C。 Hospital visits aren’t always easy, especially if you’re not sure what to do or say. 44 Before you head off to see someone in the hospital, have a read through the following suggestions to ensure that you’re all set for a smooth visit. 45 Even if there are visiting hours provided on the website, etc., the person you are wanting to see may not be well enough to see anyone at the time. If the patient’s door is closed, knock and wait for permission to enter. You can’t be sure whether or not a medical procedure is taking place or if the patient is sleeping. Keep your visit brief. The patient is likely to tire easily but may be too polite to ask you to leave. Also remember that you’re not likely to be the only visitor and having many visitors can be tiring. Don’t ask about any surgical (外科的) or test results. If the patient wants you to know, he or she will tell you. 46 Bring a gift card. Instead of flowers or candy, consider purchasing a gift card in the patient’s favorite store. Certain patients usually can’t eat for several days, so candy isn’t a very sensible gift. 47 They are usually a nuisance (麻烦事) when the patient is ready to go home. 48 If there is any bad news from home or work, try your best not to tell it unless you think that it is absolutely necessary. It is best for the patient not to be told of bad news until they’re well enough to cope again. Assure the patient that he or she is missed at work, school, or social groups. Days are very long at the hospital, and a patient can quickly feel isolated (孤独的) and out of touch. A．Stay positive. B．Observe the hospital’s visiting hours. C．Call first to make sure visitors are allowed. D．Fortunately, there is advice in place for visiting a patient. E．Hospital rooms are small and there may not be room for flowers. F．If they feel really ill, they’re genuinely not up to receiving visitors. G．Otherwise, this can seem too personal and be thought to be the patient’s privacy. 【答案】44．D 45．C 46．G 47．E 48．A 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了到医院探望病人的建议：一、去前打电话征得许可；二、探望时间要简短；三、带礼物卡而不是糖果和鲜花；四、只传达积极信息。 44．上文“Hospital visits aren’t always easy, especially if you’re not sure what to do or say.(去医院探望病人并不总是那么容易，尤其是当你不知道该做什么或说什么的时候)”说明去医院探望病人可能不太容易，下文“Before you head off to see someone in the hospital, have a read through the following suggestions to ensure that you’re all set for a smooth visit.(在你去医院看病人之前，仔细阅读以下建议，以确保你能顺利探望)”说明文章将给出一些去医院探望病人的建议，D项“幸运的是，探视病人有一些建议。”承接上文，并引出下文，符合题意。故选D。 45．下文“Even if there are visiting hours provided on the website, etc., the person you are wanting to see may not be well enough to see anyone at the time. If the patient’s door is closed, knock and wait for permission to enter. You can’t be sure whether or not a medical procedure is taking place or if the patient is sleeping.(即使网上提供了访问时间等，你想见的人可能当时身体不好，无法见到任何人。如果病人的门是关着的，敲门并等待允许进入。你无法确定是否正在进行医疗程序或病人是否在睡觉)”说明即使网上已经提供了访问时间，也需要提前确认是否适合探望病人，C项“请先打电话确认是否允许访客进入。”说明提前打电话，获得探望的许可，符合题意。故选C。 46．上文“Don’t ask about any surgical (外科的) or test results. If the patient wants you to know, he or she will tell you.(不要询问任何手术或检测结果。如果病人想让你知道，他或她会告诉你)”说明不应该贸然询问手术结果或者检测结果，G项“否则，这可能显得过于私人化，被认为是患者的隐私。”说明不应该贸然询问的原因，承接上文内容，符合题意。故选G。 47．上文“Instead of flowers or candy, consider purchasing a gift card in the patient’s favorite store. Certain patients usually can’t eat for several days, so candy isn’t a very sensible gift.(考虑在患者最喜欢的商店购买礼品卡，而不是鲜花或糖果。某些病人通常几天都不能吃东西，所以糖果不是一个很明智的礼物)”说明不要买鲜花或者糖果，并介绍了不买糖果的原因，E项“医院的房间很小，可能放不下花。”与上文并列，说明不买鲜花的原因，并引出下文“They are usually a nuisance (麻烦事) when the patient is ready to go home.(当病人准备回家时，它们通常是令人讨厌的)”承上启下，符合题意。故选E。 48．下文“If there is any bad news from home or work, try your best not to tell it unless you think that it is absolutely necessary. It is best for the patient not to be told of bad news until they’re well enough to cope again. Assure the patient that he or she is missed at work, school, or social groups.(如果家里或工作中有什么坏消息，除非你认为绝对必要，否则尽量不要告诉病人。病人最好不要被告知坏消息，直到他们恢复到可以再次应对的程度。向病人保证在工作、学校或社会团体中会想念他或她)”说明面对病人时，要避开坏消息，并保证病人是被人想念着的，使得病人保持乐观的状态，A项“保持乐观。”引出下文内容，符合题意。故选A。 Are you preparing for a big test? If so, you may want to play some basketball in between hitting the books. Doctors are starting to find more and more information that suggests a connection between exercise and brain development. Judy Cameron, a scientist at Oregon Health and Oregon Health and Science University, studies brain development. According to her research, it seems that exercise can make blood vessels(管), including those in the brain, stronger and more fully developed. Dr. Cameron claims this allows people who exercise to concentrate better. As she says, "While we already know that exercise is good for the heart, exercise can really cause physical changes in the brain." The effects of exercise on brain development can even be seen in babies. Babies who do activities that require a lot of movement and physical activity show greater brain development than babies who are less physically active. With babies, even a little movement can show big results. Margaret Barnes, a pediatrician(儿科医生), believes in the importance of exercise. She thinks that many learning disabilities that children have in elementary school or high school can be traced back to a lack of movement as babies. "Babies need movement that stimulates their five senses. They need to establish a connection between motion and memory. In this way, as they get older, children will begin to associate physical activity with higher learning," says Margaret. Older people can beef up their brains as well. Scientists from 11 universities studied a group of seniors ranging in age from seventy to seventy-nine. Their study showed a short-term memory increase of up to 40 percent after exercising just three hours a week. The exercise does not have to be very difficult, but it does have to increase the heart rate. Also, just like the motion for infants (婴儿), exercise for older people should involve some complexity. Learning some new skills or motions, such as with yoga or tai-chi, helps to open up memory paths in the brain that may not have been used for a long time. For most people, any type of physical activity that increases the heart rate is helpful. The main goal is to increase the brain's flow of blood. And your brain can benefit from as little as three hours of exercise a week. 49．What is the best title of this passage? A．How to exercise B．How exercise helps the brain C．How to get good scores on a test D．How the brain can change 50．According to the reading, what is the connection between exercise and brain development? A．Exercise makes us stupid. B．The brain needs special mental exercise. C．The more exercise, the bigger the brain. D．Physical exercise helps us think better. 51．The mini amount of excises required to gain any benefit is ________. A．three hours per week B．40hours per week C．three hours per day D．40hours per month. 52．Why does the author think that yoga is fit for seniors? A．It is easy to learn. B．It can be done in groups. C．It does not increase the heart rate. D．It includes learning new motions. 【答案】49．B 50．D 51．A 52．D 【分析】本文是说明文。研究表明锻炼和头脑发育之间有密切联系，锻炼对集中注意力和增强记忆力有好处，文章建议我们最少一周锻炼3小时。 49．主旨大意题。根据第一段内容Doctors are starting to find more and more information that suggests a connection between exercise and brain development.可知，医生认为锻炼和头脑发育之间有密切联系。下文通过研究结果和数据说明二者的密切联系，How exercise helps the brain概括了文章内容，适合作为标题。故选B项。 50．细节理解题。根据第一段内容…this allows people who exercise to concentrate better.可知锻炼对集中注意力有好处，下文婴儿期锻炼和老年人锻炼的例子都说明了锻炼对大脑的好处，故选D项。 51．细节理解题。根据倒数第二段Their study showed a short-term memory increase of up to 40 percent after exercising just three hours a week.和最后一段And your brain can benefit from as little as three hours of exercise a week.可知最少一周锻炼3小时。故选A项。 52．推理判断题。根据倒数第二段exercise for older people should involve some complexity. Learning some new skills or motions, such as with yoga or tai-chi, helps to open up memory paths in the brain that may not have been used for a long time可知年长者需要通过瑜伽这类运动来学习新的动作和打开大脑中可能很久没有使用的记忆路径，帮助记忆。故选D项。 1 / 14 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
