Ⅵ.阅读理解
阅读下面短文,从每题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中,选出最佳选项。
2024·苏州中学高一检测Young kids' brains are very sensitive (敏感的) to their mums' voices, as 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 mums', new research shows.
The researchers studied the brains of 7- to 16-year-olds as they listened to things said by their mums or by unfamiliar women. The words were gibberish:__teebudieshawlt, keebudieshawlt and peebudieshawlt. Using such meaningless words 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 Abrams, a researcher at Stanford University, says that younger kids' brains respond more strongly to their mums' voices than to strangers'. “However, in adolescence(青春期), we show the exact opposite of that,” said Abrams.
“These areas in the adolescent brains don't stop responding to mums' 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 mums' 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 mums' voices on the phone.
The brain seems to adapt to new needs that come with adolescence. “As we grow up, our survival depends less and less on our mums' 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.”
“So while both teens and their parents may sometimes feel annoyed, that's OK,” says Abrams. “This is the way the brain is wired, and there's a good reason for it.”
( D )1.What does the underlined word “gibberish” in Paragraph 2 refer to?
A.Questions. B.Stories.
C.Sayings. D.Nonsense.
( A )2.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 mums.
D.They have more energy to spare.
( C )3.What do teens think of their mums' voices according to the 2011 study?
A.Exciting. B.Unpleasant.
C.Comforting. D.Strange.
( B )4.What is Daniel Abrams's 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.
【语篇解读】当孩子们变成青少年时,陌生的声音会变得比妈妈的声音更有吸引力,这其中是有科学依据的。
1.D 词义猜测题。根据画线词下文“teebudieshawlt, keebudieshawlt and peebudieshawlt”和“Using such meaningless words(用这些无意义的词语)”可推知,画线词gibberish的意思是“无意义的话”,与nonsense的意思最为接近。故选D。
2.A 细节理解题。根据第四段中的“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.(只是不熟悉的声音变得更值得关注。原因如下:随着孩子的成长,他们扩大了家庭以外的社会关系。所以他们的大脑需要开始更多地关注更广阔的世界。)”可知,青少年对陌生的声音反应更敏感是因为他们需要扩大自己的社会关系。故选A。
3.C 推理判断题。根据第五段“But mums' 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 mums' voices on the phone.(但2011年一项针对女孩的研究显示,母亲的声音仍然具有特殊的力量,尤其是在压力大的时候。当这些女孩在电话里听到妈妈的声音时,她们的压力水平下降了。)”可推断出,对于青少年来说,妈妈的声音让他们感到安慰。故选C。
4.B 推理判断题。根据最后一段中Abrams说的话,尤其是其中的 “that's OK” 和“there's a good reason for it”可推断出,Daniel Abrams认为青少年的声音偏爱的变化是正常且可以理解的。故选B。

Ⅷ.语法填空
阅读下面短文,在空白处填入1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。
2024·慈溪中学高一检测When teenagers go through a period of rapid physical and mental development, every aspect of their life 1.__is__affected__(affect) greatly, especially the relationships with their parents. It seems that they can't see eye to eye with their parents, so 2.__heated__(heat) arguments or cold silences are not uncommon between the both sides. Physical changes in 3.__teenagers__(teenager), including sudden changes in their voices, shooting up in height, or weight problems, can cause family tensions. They enter a strange middle ground,4.__where__ they are no longer a child but not quite an adult. As a result, they desire both independence and parental care. However, balancing their different mental needs can be 5.__a__ headache. For parents, they both want to treat them as children 6.__and__ expect them 7.__to__behave__(behave) like adults.
Although it is impossible to solve the problem thoroughly, communicating frequently and honestly can ease the tension in the relationship. For children, learning to 8.__calmly__(calm) understand the situation from parents' point of view is also a good solution. Besides, they should learn to back down and ask properly their parents to relax their controls over them. With this stormy period not 9.__lasting__(last), the changes and challenges during this period 10.__will__turn__(turn) out all right in the end.
【语篇解读】当青少年经历一个身心快速发展的时期时,他们的生活的方方面面都会受到很大影响,尤其是与父母的关系。沟通、换位思考等可以缓解这种紧张关系。
1.is affected 考查时态、语态和主谓一致。句意:当青少年经历一个身心快速发展的时期时,他们的生活的各个方面都会受到很大影响,尤其是与父母的关系。此处在叙述客观事实,且他们的生活是被影响,因此用一般现在时的被动语态;主语为every aspect of their life, 表示单数意义,因此谓语动词应用单数形式。故填is affected。
2.heated 考查形容词。句意:他们似乎与父母意见不一致,因此双方之间激烈的争论或冷淡的沉默并不罕见。空处修饰复数名词arguments,应填形容词heated,表示“激烈的”,作定语。故填heated。
3.teenagers 考查名词的数。句意:青少年的身体变化,包括声音的突然变化、身高飙升或体重问题,都会导致家庭紧张。此处泛指青少年,因此用可数名词teenager的复数形式。故填teenagers。
4.where 考查定语从句。句意:他们进入了一个奇怪的中间地带,在那里他们不再是一个孩子,也不完全是一个成年人。空处引导非限制性定语从句,修饰表示地点的抽象名词middle ground,应填关系副词where。故填where。
5.a 考查冠词。句意:然而,平衡他们不同的心理需求可能会是件让人头疼的事。空后名词headache“使人头痛的事,棘手的事,难题”为可数名词,此处表示泛指且headache以辅音音素开头。故填a。
6.and 考查连词。句意:对于父母来说,他们既想把他们当孩子对待,又期待他们表现得像个大人。本句包含both ... and ...结构。故填and。
7.to behave 考查非谓语动词。句意同上。expect sb to do sth 为固定用法,表示“要求/期望某人做某事”。故填to behave。
8.calmly 考查副词。句意:对于孩子来说,学会从父母的角度冷静地理解情况也是一个很好的解决方案。空处修饰动词understand,应填副词,作状语。故填calmly。
9.lasting 考查非谓语动词。句意:由于这段暴风雨时期不会持续,这段时期的变化和挑战最终将会好起来。此处为“with+宾语+宾补”结构,宾语this stormy period和last之间为逻辑上的主谓关系,应用现在分词。故填lasting。
10.will turn 考查时态。句意同上。此处表示将来的动作,故用一般将来时。故填will turn。
