Passage B(青少年问题 )
In the social media age,teenagers are sharing more information about themselves on social media sites than ever before. According to research, more than eight in ten teenagers have visited a social networking site, and three out of our teenagers now have an account on a social networking site.
However,while social media sites can improve teenagers’ communication abilities, experts say that social networking could be harmful to healthy teenage self-esteem. Health educator and motivational speaker Scott Fried began working with teenagers 20 years ago. He recently developed a new lecture to discuss with teenagers the differences between their personalities online and their true selves.
“The definition of growing up is bringing together many different parts of your personality,” Fried said. “As you grow, they turn into one whole personality. Now, you have a personality at school, at home, and online. The goal of being a teenager is to bring together all these different parts that are shown online in a complete way.”
Fried uses the phrase “compare and despair" to describe the bad effects of social media on teenage self-esteem. If you compare yourself to someone else, you're usually going to end up despairing.Fried said, “One of the problems with social media is that we throw our best selves out there, or what we like to think of as our best self.”
Psychologist Nadine De Giordany says that teenagers who already have low self-esteem can get easily depressed and give others their low self-esteem. She thinks social media is causing more and more depression. She adds that parents should educate their children early on social media.
"Teenagers can use a lot of resources that affect the way they deal with peer pressure,"De Giordany said. “As the child is growing up, supervise what it is that they have access to. There is an age that social media is appropriate for and there is an age that isn't appropriate for.”

B.Teenagers like to share opinions with others on social media.
C.Social media users generally have better communication skills
D.Over 80% of teenagers have access to a social networking site.

B.Teenagers often get rid of their true selves on social media.
C.Teenagers present the same personality in different situations.
D.Teenagers like to show the greatest parts of themselves on social media.
3.What is De Giordany's suggestion toward using social media?
A.Social media should set a minimum age limit.
B.Teenagers should have right to any social networking sites
C.Parents should monitor what is accessible to their children
D.Teenagers should be free to use social media for their problems.
4. What is the main idea of the text?
A. Social media have bad effects on teenagers.
B. More and more teenagers use social media.
C. Social media promote teenagers’ communication skills
D.Teenagers have better developed their personalities online.

Passage1 (2024·四川遂宁·中考真题)
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。选项中有一项为多余选项。
Adolescence (青春期) is a difficult time for teenagers. It takes place when you’re aged between thirteen and nineteen. 1 For example, you used to be happy to be with your parents, but now you need your own space. In the past, your parents made most decisions for you, but now you want to decide things by yourself.
In fact, these changes are perfectly normal. But it’s important to remember that they’ll influence your relationship with your parents. 2
First, let your parents know you love them all the time. 3 They may not say so, but they’ll probably feel a sense of loss.
Secondly, 4 You may feel these are unnecessary, but your parents’ main worry is just to keep you safe. So try your best to follow the rules and stick to them. It may feel like a trouble to always remember to phone them and let them know where you’re, but make the effort anyway.
Finally, it’s all about communication! 5 Tell them what you did today and let them know where you’re going. Besides, ask for advice if you need. All in all, the more you communicate with them, the more they’ll trust you.
A.follow your family rules.
B.Keep talking to your parents.
C.follow your parents’ suggestions.
D.As your body changes, you also begin to think and feel differently.
E.In their eyes, they have forever lost the little child you used to be.
F.Then how can you make sure that you get on well with your parents?
Passage2(2025·安徽·中考真题)
Relationships with your siblings (兄弟姐妹) can help you practice social skills. Having a good relationship with them can help you communicate with other people, and understand other people’s feelings. You can even learn things when you don’t get on with your siblings. When you have argued (争吵) with them, you have to work out how to be in the same space as them. As a result, you often learn how to accept differences. It is very useful in the outside world.
It’s completely normal (正常的) that sometimes you and your sibling won’t see eye to eye. “Have a good think about why the two of you don’t get on. Try to talk when you both cool down,” says Dr. Owen, a researcher in new children develop. “Tell them how you feel. You could say, ‘It really hurts me when you make jokes about me.’ If the trouble carries on, talk to a trusted adult (成年人).”
All families are different. What if you don’t have siblings? That doesn’t mean you won’t experience the advantages people get from having a brother or sister. There are ways to help only children develop these skills too.
1.What is paragraph 1 mainly about?
A.Advantages of having siblings. B.Causes of arguing with others.
C.Practices of accepting differences. D.Ways of building relationships.
2.What do the underlined words “see eye to eye” in paragraph 2 mean?
A.Joke with each other. B.Hear from each other.
C.Agree with each other. D.Learn from each other.
3.What will probably be talked about next?
A.Why all families are different. B.When we can talk to a trusted adult.
C.What is important for communication. D.How only children develop social skills.

Passage 1
一、完形填空
Dear Dr. Know,
A generation gap (代沟) has become a serious problem in my family! My name is Tim and I’m 13 years old. My 1 are great and I love them and I know they love me. However, they never understand my feelings and needs. My parents grew up in the 2 family with several sisters and brothers, their parents don’t allow them to do anything without permission (许可). So they’re trying to raise (抚养) me in that way. They won’t allow me to go to a friend’s home or hang out with a friend 3 they don’t know the person’s parents. It’s really embarrassing (令人难堪的) when I tell my friends that I can’t 4 them. My parents want to know me better, so they read my 5 . They say I shouldn’t have any secrets (秘密) in this family.
I try to 6 them, but they usually don’t want to listen. When I feel that my parents don’t 7 me, I just keep my mouth shut (闭上的). I really don’t know what I could do. Could you help me?
Yours,
Jenny
Dear Jenny,
It’s not easy being your age, and it’s normal to have these feelings. I think this is because you don’t often have a talk with each other. Maybe you can write a letter to tell your parents your feelings and reasons. Although your parents’ opinions are different from 8 , you should be more patient with them, get to know them and show your 9 to your parents. They are the people who love you best. In this way you 10 have a better understanding of each other.

Passage 2
Dear Sue,
I have a problem and I need your help. My parents are really strict with me.
1 they care about me, sometimes I feel quite nervous. Last Sunday, my friends invited me to play soccer, but my parents 2 (refuse). They wanted me to go to 3 animal hospital to volunteer. They said it was important to learn to care for others. In the end, I went. I spent many hours 4 (look) after the animals there. Yesterday, I wanted to go to the movies with my friends after school. But my mom said I must help 5 housework first. She was cleaning the living room and she asked 6 (I) to sweep the floor. I did it 7 (angry). I told her I was too tired. She got mad at me. Now, we aren’t talking to each other. I know she is busy and tired and I know it’s not only the 8 (parent) job to do the housework at home. But I also need some free time 9 (relax).
10 (play) with friends is a good way to relax. And volunteering at the animal hospital is also something I enjoy doing. But I don’t like it when they always decide everything for me. Do you think I’m right? What should I do?
I’m looking forward to your reply.
Best regards.
Passage 3
Sometimes, families can be hard. People argue a lot. They get upset. Sometimes they stop talking. Our family has had lots of ups and downs. I’d say arguments often happen in our family, too.
I have an older brother and an older sister. I’m the baby boy in the family. We grew up in quite a small house and often didn’t have a lot of money. My mum and dad argued, pretty much all the time, just about anything. My brother and sister argued. And I used to argue.
But as I got older, I always chose to be the mediator (调解员). I would try to look at both sides of the argument and bring them together to make peace. “Dad, you shouldn’t say that to Mum, but Mum, try to see it this way.” “Come on guys, we all love each other. It’s just been a bad day.” I’d say it often worked.
I learned much growing up in our family: understanding, being patient and the knowledge that sometimes things just don’t go your way. We all make mistakes. We all say things that we wish we hadn’t. The key is to try and understand. Of course, sometimes, arguments do need to happen. If something is wrong, it needs to be solved and sometimes, we get angry about it. But as long as we can reflect and look at things with an attitude (态度) of care and responsibility, we can weather the storm and help each other out.
1.What do we know about the writer’s family?
A.Two of the kids in the family are girls. B.The writer is the youngest in the family.
C.The writer never argues with his parents. D.His parents get along well with each other.
2.What did the writer often do as a mediator?
A.Started a conversation angrily. B.Did nothing but watch.
C.Helped one side to fight the other. D.Tried to make peace.
3.What did the writer learn from his family?
A.Knowledge is useless in communication. B.A family shouldn’t share feelings with each other.
C.Arguments are always bad and should never happen. D.A family should understand and care for each other.
4.What does the underlined phrase “weather the storm” mean?
A.To deal with a difficult situation successfully. B.To ask somebody for help when in trouble.
C.To tell exactly what the weather will be like. D.To explain what to do during a storm.
5.What might be the best title for the passage?
A.My Parents’ Bad Days B.Growing Up in a Small House
C.Ups and Downs in My School D.Helping My Family Get Along
Passage 4
About your problems, sometimes most of you still want parents’ help and advice. However, talking to them can be difficult. What should you do to make it easier? The more you do something, the easier it will be. Everything seems difficult at first. But if you talk to your parents more often, you will be surprised to see the change. And next time when you have problems,you will feel more comfortable to talk with them.
Tell your parents something about you. You can share your school life with them. Even a small talk like “What’s for dinner?” can keep the relation between you and your parents strong and comfortable.
Maybe you also need to tell them some bad news like failing an exam. Don’t be worried about what they will think of you. On the contrary (相反), they will help you find out the reasons for your poor grades. And next time, you will do better.
Anyway, remember that you are the most important person to your parents in the world. If something they do upsets (使伤心) you, you shouldn’t be angry with them. Just have a good talk, and I am sure everything will be better.
1.What can be difficult according to the passage?
A.Talking to parents. B.Helping with housework.
C.Getting good grades. D.Having dinner with parents.
2.What will happen if you tell you parents some bad news according to the text?
A.They will be happy. B.They will talk to teachers.
C.They will feel comfortable. D.They will offer some help.
3.What do you know from the passage?
A.It’s necessary to get friends’ advice when we have problems.
B.We can’t work out some problems by talking to parents often.
C.It’s a good idea to talk to parents about some bad news.
D.A small talk can’t help to keep the relation strong and comfortable.
4.What’s the best title for the text?
A.What to Tell Parents B.How to Talk to Parents

【导语】史密斯先生就如何培养良好的父女关系提出 了一些建议:给你的女儿留点时间;帮助她变得自 信;让她自己做决定;做她的爸爸。
1.推理判断题。根据第一段第二句可知,这 是史密斯先生给爸爸们的建议。
2.细节理解题。根据第二段的He taught me how to play the piano. 可知,露西尔从爸爸那里学习弹钢琴。
3.词义猜测题。根据下文可知,露西抱怨爸 爸认为她永远不够好,露西很伤心,由此可猜 测,爸爸应该多支持女儿,让女儿充满自信。
4.主旨大意题。根据下文“让你的女儿决定 如何花她的时间和金钱,做什么暑期工作”可 知,本段的主旨是“让她自己做决定”。
译文
很多女儿与父亲的关系并不好。当一个小女孩长成少女时,在她眼中,一个好父亲应该是什么样的呢?以下是史密斯先生的建议。
为女儿腾出时间。找一些你们俩都喜欢做的事,比如一起遛狗、骑自行车或者做晚餐。露西尔说:“爸爸的工作室永远欢迎我,我可以问任何问题。他教我弹钢琴,我从他身上学到了很多。”然而,塔拉却觉得自己从来都不了解父亲。“我多希望我们能有更多时间一起玩乐啊。”
帮助她变得自信。你的支持非常重要。露西有一次带着不错的成绩回家,心里特别兴奋,但她的父亲却说:“你又只得了个 B。下次能考个 A 吗?” 露西非常难过 ——“在他看来,我做什么都不够好。直到现在,我做事情还是总想着要得到爸爸的认可。”
▲ 。青少年不喜欢别人指使他们该怎么做。在可能的情况下,让女儿自己决定如何安排时间和金钱,以及做什么样的暑期工作。这是她的人生,不是你的。
做好父亲的角色。你的女儿不需要再多一个朋友,她需要的是一个父亲 —— 而你就是她的父亲。

在社交媒体时代,青少年在社交媒体平台上分享的个人信息比以往任何时候都多。研究显示,超过八成的青少年访问过社交网站,而四分之三的青少年如今在社交网站上拥有账号。
然而,尽管社交媒体平台能提升青少年的沟通能力,专家表示,社交网络可能对青少年健康的自尊产生危害。健康教育专家兼励志演讲家斯科特・弗里德(Scott Fried) 20 年前就开始从事青少年相关工作。他最近开发了一个新的讲座,与青少年探讨他们在网络上的 “人设” 与真实自我之间的差异。
“成长的定义是将自身性格的多个不同部分融合在一起,” 弗里德说,“随着成长,这些部分会整合成一个完整的人格。而现在,你在学校、家里、网上各有一套性格。青少年时期的目标就是以一种完整的方式,将这些在网上展现出的不同部分整合起来。”
弗里德用 “攀比即绝望” 来描述社交媒体对青少年自尊的负面影响。如果你拿自己和别人比较,最终往往会陷入绝望。弗里德说:“社交媒体的问题之一在于,我们会把自己最好的一面 —— 或者说我们自认为最好的一面 —— 展示出来。”
心理学家纳丁・德・乔达尼(Nadine De Giordany)表示,本身自尊水平就低的青少年很容易变得抑郁,还会把这种低落的情绪传递给他人。她认为社交媒体正导致越来越多的抑郁问题,并补充说父母应该尽早对孩子进行社交媒体相关的教育。
“青少年可以利用很多资源,这些资源会影响他们应对同伴压力的方式,” 德・乔达尼说,“在孩子成长过程中,要监督他们能接触到的内容。社交媒体有适合使用的年龄,也有不适合的年龄。”

In fact, these changes are perfectly normal. But it’s important to remember that they’ll influence your relationship with your parents. 2
First, let your parents know you love them all the time. 3 They may not say so, but they’ll probably feel a sense of loss.
Secondly, 4 You may feel these are unnecessary, but your parents’ main worry is just to keep you safe. So try your best to follow the rules and stick to them. It may feel like a trouble to always remember to phone them and let them know where you’re, but make the effort anyway.
Finally, it’s all about communication! 5 Tell them what you did today and let them know where you’re going. Besides, ask for advice if you need. All in all, the more you communicate with them, the more they’ll trust you.

Passage2(2025·安徽·中考真题)
Relationships with your siblings (兄弟姐妹) can help you practice social skills. Having a good relationship with them can help you communicate with other people, and understand other people’s feelings. You can even learn things when you don’t get on with your siblings. When you have argued (争吵) with them, you have to work out how to be in the same space as them. As a result, you often learn how to accept differences. It is very useful in the outside world.
It’s completely normal (正常的) that sometimes you and your sibling won’t see eye to eye. “Have a good think about why the two of you don’t get on. Try to talk when you both cool down,” says Dr. Owen, a researcher in new children develop. “Tell them how you feel. You could say, ‘It really hurts me when you make jokes about me.’ If the trouble carries on, talk to a trusted adult (成年人).”
All families are different. What if you don’t have siblings? That doesn’t mean you won’t experience the advantages people get from having a brother or sister. There are ways to help only children develop these skills too.
1.What is paragraph 1 mainly about?
A.Advantages of having siblings. B.Causes of arguing with others.

Passage 3
Sometimes, families can be hard. People argue a lot. They get upset. Sometimes they stop talking. Our family has had lots of ups and downs. I’d say arguments often happen in our family, too.
I have an older brother and an older sister. I’m the baby boy in the family. We grew up in quite a small house and often didn’t have a lot of money. My mum and dad argued, pretty much all the time, just about anything. My brother and sister argued. And I used to argue.
But as I got older, I always chose to be the mediator (调解员). I would try to look at both sides of the argument and bring them together to make peace. “Dad, you shouldn’t say that to Mum, but Mum, try to see it this way.” “Come on guys, we all love each other. It’s just been a bad day.” I’d say it often worked.
I learned much growing up in our family: understanding, being patient and the knowledge that sometimes things just don’t go your way. We all make mistakes. We all say things that we wish we hadn’t. The key is to try and understand. Of course, sometimes, arguments do need to happen. If something is wrong, it needs to be solved and sometimes, we get angry about it. But as long as we can reflect and look at things with an attitude (态度) of care and responsibility, we can weather the storm and help each other out.

C.Arguments are always bad and should never happen. D.A family should understand and care for each other.
4.What does the underlined phrase “weather the storm” mean?
A.To deal with a difficult situation successfully. B.To ask somebody for help when in trouble.
C.To tell exactly what the weather will be like. D.To explain what to do during a storm.
