Ⅰ.阅读理解
(2025·浙东北联盟高一检测)Parents of teenagers often view their children's friends with distrust,worrying that their children will be pushed by their peers(同龄人) into doing something foolish or even dangerous.Their worries hold_water.In a previous study,psychologist Laurence Steinberg found that a teenage driver with a sameage passenger in the car is at higher risk of a fatal crash than one driving alone or with an adult.
In the following years,Steinberg examined the question of why teens were more likely to take risks in the company of other teenagers.In a later study,by scanning(扫描) the brains of 40 teens and adults,Steinberg found the brains of teenagers,but not adults,showed greater activity in two regions associated with rewards when they were being observed by sameage peers.The reward systems of the brain are activated whenever people experience something rewarding,like eating a nicetasting food,which make them feel satisfied.In this case,rewards are greater for teens,which motivates them to seek higherrisk experiences.
But Steinberg thought peer pressure might also have its positive side.In the latest study,Steinberg's team used a card game to research how peers affect the way young people gather and apply information.It involved 101 teenage boys who played either alone or with three peers.They chose cards from four decks(牌堆):two decks had “good” cards,and two “bad” ones.Players with peers were more willing to take risks,trying to figure out which decks could help them to win.The results showed that teens playing with their peers engage in more exploratory behavior,learn faster and achieve better performance on the task than those playing alone.
Now some experts are proposing that we should take advantage of the teens' keen sensitivity(敏感) to the presence of friends to improve education.“Risk taking in an educational context is a vital skill that enables progress and creativity,” wrote SarahJayne Blakemore,a professor at University College London.
1.What do the underlined words “hold_water” in Paragraph 1 mean?
A.Make sense. B.Face doubts.
C.Bring relief. D.Start debates.
2.What is the reason behind teens' dangerous behavior?
A.Inability to tell right from wrong.
B.A sense of satisfaction.
C.Eagerness to follow their friends.
D.Lack of social experience.
3.How does risktaking affect teens in the latest study?
A.It starts fights between them.
B.It inspires them to question.
C.It weakens their independence.
D.It helps them to learn better.
4.What is the best title for the passage?
A.Why Teenagers' Risky Behavior Are Affected
B.The Role of Brain Activity in Teenage Decision Making
C.The Effects of Social Media on Teenagers' Mental Health
D.How Teenagers' Friends Affect Their Risky Behaviors and Learning
【语篇解读】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了青少年与同龄人在一起时更容易冒险的原因,并通过实验表明同龄人的影响也会促使青少年在学习方面取得更好的表现,专家建议利用青少年对朋友的敏感来改善教育。
1.A [解析]词义猜测题。画线词上文提出了青少年父母的担忧,担心他们的孩子会被同龄人怂恿去做一些愚蠢甚至危险的事情。下文用一项研究结论来说明青少年与同龄人在一起时更容易做一些愚蠢甚至危险的事情,发生意外的可能性确实更高,所以“父母的担心是有道理的”,hold water与make sense意思相近,意为“有道理”。故选A。
2.B [解析]细节理解题。根据第二段中的“The reward systems of the brain are activated whenever people experience something rewarding ...In this case,rewards are greater for teens,which motivates them to seek higherrisk experiences.”可知,青少年之所以会做出危险行为,是因为他们寻求奖励,寻求满足感,所以获得满足感是青少年危险行为背后的原因。故选B。
3.D [解析]细节理解题。根据第三段中的“The results showed that teens playing with their peers engage in more exploratory behavior,learn faster and achieve better performance on the task than those playing alone.”可知,最新的研究表明,与独自玩耍的青少年相比,与同龄人一起玩的青少年更愿意冒险,学得更快,表现更好。故选D。
4.D [解析]标题概括题。通读全文可知,本文主要分析了青少年与同龄人在一起时更容易冒险的原因,并通过实验表明同龄人的影响也会促使青少年在学习方面取得更好的表现,专家建议利用青少年对朋友的敏感来改善教育,所以D项“青少年的朋友如何影响他们的危险行为和学习”是本文最好的标题。故选D。

【语篇解读】本文是一篇记叙文。作者主要讲述了自己刚开始高中生活时受到鼓舞后努力学习的经历。
1.how [解析]考查副词。句意:然而,在那一刻,我不知道一开始它会有多可怕。分析句子结构可知,know后为感叹句作宾语,空后terrible是形容词,用副词how修饰。故填how。
2.studying [解析]考查非谓语动词。句意:我总是忙于学习,并且我非常想念我的朋友。be busy (in) doing sth.意为“忙于做某事”。故填studying。
3.of [解析]考查介词。句意:因为我的成绩不好,我感到很失败。短语because of意为“因为,由于”,后接名词。故填of。

9.my [解析]考查代词。句意:我确信未来就在我的手中。空后的hands是名词,用形容词性物主代词my。故填my。
10.seems [解析]考查动词的时态和主谓一致。句意:我的高中就像我的母亲,而我是她最普通的孩子。根据该段的时态和句意可知,空处用一般现在时。主语是my high school,用第三人称单数形式。故填seems。

Ⅴ.读后续写
阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
Jenny was the only child in her family.She had a quarrel with her mother that afternoon and ran out of the house angrily.She couldn't help crying when she thought of the scolding(责骂) from her mother.Getting around aimlessly in the street for hours,she felt a little hungry and wished for something to eat.She stood beside a stand(货摊) for a while,watching a middleaged man busy doing his business.However,with no money in hand,she had to leave.The man behind the stand noticed Jenny and asked,“Hey,do you want to have the noodles?” “Oh,yes,but I don't have money,” she replied.
“I'll treat you today,” said the man.He brought her a bowl of noodles,the smell so attractive.As she was eating,Jenny cried silently.“What is it?” asked the man kindly.“Actually I was just touched by your kindness!” said Jenny as she wiped her tears.“Even a stranger will give me a bowl of noodles,while my mother drove me out of the house.” Hearing the words,the man smiled,“I only gave you a bowl of noodles.But it is your mother who has raised you since you were a baby.Can you number the times she cooked for you?Have you expressed your thankfulness to her?”
Jenny sat there,speechless;she remembered her mother's familiar face.“A bowl of noodles from a stranger made me feel grateful.Why haven't I thanked my mum for what she has done for me?” On the way home,Jenny made up her mind to make an apology to her mother for her rudeness as soon as she arrived home.
注意:

Paragraph 1:

[参考范文]
Paragraph 1:
Approaching the doorway,Jenny took a deep breath.Tired and sad,she sat down in front of the house.“Where might my mother be?” she wondered.“Is she really so angry with me that she doesn't want to show any care for me?” Again,the scene of the quarrel appeared in her mind.She remembered her rudeness to her mother,and she just realized that all the scolding from her mother was due to the fact that her mother really cared a lot about her.Tears rolled down her cheeks.
Paragraph 2:
A gentle touch on her head called her mind back.She raised her head to see the familiar face and the worried eyes.“There you are! I've been looking for you,” came the tired voice.Jenny couldn't help but throw herself into her mother's arms.“I'm sorry and thank you for all you have done for me.” She expressed the sincere apology and the great gratitude to her mother.Her mother smiled and nodded her head,which meant she accepted her apology and forgave Jenny.Then she felt the hug tightened.
