Unit 3 Teenage problems 单元话题阅读理解练习 Unit 3 Teenage problems单元话题：青少年问题 本资料共10篇专题训练，从上到下依次按照难度分为基础语篇巩固练和重难语篇提升练 基础语篇巩固练 Are you allowed to climb trees or go camping by the river? Most of the students reply with “No”. It’s not surprising at all. Although research shows how good it is for children to play outside, they still spend more time staying indoors. In fact, outdoor play has a positive (积极的) influence on children’s development. Over the last fifteen years, schools have started to realize the importance of outdoor time. It leads to the development of many programs that take learning outside the classroom. One of these programs is Forest School which has increased in popularity over recent years. Forest School is an outdoor learning program that pays much attention to outdoor play in wooded spaces. In the early 1990s, a group of English educators went on a trip to Denmark. They noticed that open-air living was helpful for students. Upon their return from Denmark, they developed their first Forest School. Today the Forest School Association (协会) has more than 1,500 members. How does outdoor play stimulate learning? In Forest School, children are provided with chances to explore the natural environment and experience risks and challenges. Recent research shows that some changes happen to children. They are able to develop skills they have learned at school in daily life. They work more closely with their classmates. They are more physically active. And they know how to move safely in the wild. The World Health Organization has advised that children should have more chances to play in nature to grow up healthily. Forest School will help them fall in love with the great outdoors. It is also helpful for them to develop skills and creative thinking. All make preparations for later life! 1．What can we learn from Paragraph 1? A．Students are interested in climbing trees.

Growing pains aren’t a disease. Sometimes you don’t have to go to a doctor. Usually children can get them between the ages of 3 and 5 or 8 and 12. When children are over fifteen, most of them don’t get growing pains. Children often get growing pains in their legs. Growing pains often start before bedtime and sometimes in the middle of the night. But they go away by the morning. Doctors don’t know why. They think when children run, climb or jump a lot during the day, they may have pains in their legs at night. Parents can help children feel better by buying some medicine. But it is not good for children. Here are some ways that may help children feel better. ①Put a piece of warm cloth on the place where children feel pain. ②Ask children to stretch the legs like what they do in the P.E. class. ③Ask somebody to help massage (按摩) the painful legs. 1．________ probably gets growing pains.

That’s when the “Boredom Buster” comes to help. It offers advice on keeping busy depending on how you feel. Feeling scared? “Try writing down your fears and think about the reasons behind them.” Sad? “Try watching your favorite TV show.” The Boredom Buster is a part of an app called Saplings, made to help teenagers deal with a restless mind. The app also has a guide for keeping a diary and a place for meditation (冥想). Created in 2021 by 16-year-old Vaishnavi Kumbala from the US, the app was born out of her worry for people of her age with mental health problems. “A lot of mental health resources out there are for adults or younger kids,” Kumbala told The Washington Post. She saw many teenagers feel lonely and sad. Some of them are too shy to reach out for help. While it can’t take the place of doctors, the app can work together with their help. “The prompts (提醒) in the guided diary are made just for teens,” Kumbala said. Prompts include questions like “What are the simple things in your life that you shouldn’t take for granted (想当然)?” and “What is your greatest interest? How can you use it in your life every day in a small way?” There are also encouraging sayings, including “Stay hungry, stay foolish”. “I wanted to create something that was by a teen for teens,” Kumbala said. Her app won the 2021 Congressional App Challenge in Louisiana’s First District. The goal of competition is to help middle and high school students explore computer science careers. 1．Who created the “Boredom Buster”? A．A 16-year-old boy. B．A 16-year-old girl. C．An adult.

D．It has encouraging sayings. 6．Why did Kumbala create the app? A．To win the prize. B．To earn money. C．To help teens. D．To join the competition. 7．What can be the best title of the passage? A．An app for teens B．Going online C．Vaishnavi Kumbala D．A competition 【答案】1．B 2．A 3．C 4．C 5．A 【导语】本文介绍了16岁美国女孩Kumbala发明的一款名为Saplings的应用程序，其中的“Boredom Buster”功能帮助青少年缓解焦虑和无聊。 1．细节理解题。根据“Created in 2021 by 16-year-old Vaishnavi Kumbala from the US”可知，发明者是一位16岁的美国女孩。故选B。 2．细节理解题。根据“Teenagers often go online when bored, but they find it can sometimes bring more anxiety and stress.”可知，上网可能带来更多焦虑和压力。故选A。 3．细节理解题。根据“While it can’t take the place of doctors, the app can work together with their help.”可知，该应用不能代替医生。因此除C以外的功能它都有。故选C。 4．细节理解题。根据“She saw many teenagers feel lonely and sad. Some of them are too shy to reach out for help.”可知，她是为了帮助青少年而发明这个应用的。故选C。 5．最佳标题题。通篇介绍的核心是Kumbala为青少年设计的一款应用程序，因此最佳标题是“An app for teens”。故选A。 Sally is a teenage girl who wants to be a dancer. But her parents want her to be a doctor. She wants to obey (服从) her parents’ wish, but she also wants to follow her dream. Being a teenager is hard. You feel old enough to make your own decision, but your parents always think that they know what’s best for you. So, how can Sally fix her problem? First, teenagers can try to look at things from their parents’ point of view. Parents often have long-term plans for their kids. When our parents control what we do, they’re only trying to guide us. Our parents have been through much more things than we have. So, it is reasonable to trust them. After all, they control us because they love us. But let’s also look at things through a teenager’s eyes. Many teens feel like they can take on more responsibilities. Instead of just accepting our parents’ choices or arguing with them, we should try sharing our feelings with our parents. Sharing feelings with our parents can help make positive changes, while not sharing them can bring misunderstandings. So, if you feel that your parents’ decision is unfair, you should sit down together and talk about it. By sharing your feelings and coming up with a proper argument, you may be able to change their minds. Their trust in you will also grow. As you get older, you’ll be able to make your own decisions. 1．What is Sally’s dream? A．To be a doctor. B．To be a singer. C．To be a dancer. D．To be a pilot. 2．What does the underlined word “reasonable” mean in Paragraph 4? A．Wise. B．Easy. C．Special. D．Impossible. 3．Which of the following will the writer probably agree with? A．Parents’ decision is unfair. B．Parents should control children, C．Teenagers shouldn’t trust their parents. D．It is necessary to share feelings with parents. 4．How does the writer fix Sally’s problem? A．By discussing with Sally. B．By giving some examples. C．By giving several suggestions. D．By answering Sally’s questions. 5．What is the best title for the text? A．Can Sally’s dream come true? B．What is parents’ responsibility? C．Do your parents always help you? D．How can we communicate with parents? 【答案】1．C 2．A 3．D 4．C 5．D 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要围绕莎莉想当舞者而父母希望她当医生的矛盾，探讨青少年应从父母角度思考、与父母分享感受来沟通解决类似问题。 1．细节理解题。根据“Sally is a teenage girl who wants to be a dancer.”可知，莎莉的梦想是成为一名舞者。故选C。 2．词句猜测题。根据“Our parents have been through much more things than we have. So, it is reasonable to trust them.”可知，父母经历的事情比我们多得多，所以信任他们是合理的。“reasonable”意为“合理的”，与“Wise”（明智的）意思相近。故选A。 3．推理判断题。根据“Instead of just accepting our parents’ choices or arguing with them, we should try sharing our feelings with our parents. Sharing feelings with our parents can help make positive changes, while not sharing them can bring misunderstandings.”可知，作者认为与父母分享感受是有必要的。故选D。 4．细节理解题。根据“First, teenagers can try to look at things from their parents’ point of view.”和“But let’s also look at things through a teenager’s eyes.”以及“So, if you feel that your parents’ decision is unfair, you should sit down together and talk about it.”可知，作者通过给出几个建议来解决莎莉的问题。故选C。 5．最佳标题题。通读全文可知，文章主要讲述了青少年如何与父母沟通，解决父母的期望与自己的梦想之间的矛盾。故选D。 DO YOU FEEL WORRIEDHaving a strong body and good mental (精神的) health is important.

Nowadays, many students have had this experience, so not getting enough sleep among teenagers has come into focus. Between homework, after-school activities and temptation (诱惑) to use electronic devices, many teenagers suffer from not getting enough sleep. In China, about 50% of young people born after 2000 go to bed before midnight. In the US, 77.3 percent of high school students do not get enough sleep. Thus it’s no wonder many students feel sleepy during the day. In fact, quality sleep is important for everyone, especially for teenagers. They need nine to 10 hours of sleep each day—more than adults. This is because deep mental, physical, social and emotional development happens in one’s teens. For students, sleep plays a key role in school performance. It helps with learning by improving attention, memory and thinking skills. ★ . A study in the late 20th century compared creative performance between people who didn’t get enough sleep and those who slept normally. The first group scored lower on the tests of creative thinking. They repeated the same mistakes and could not think up new ideas. More recently, in 2023, a research team discovered that “sleep onset”, a special stage of sleep, is good for creativity. This stage happens when we are between being awake and asleep. When people are encouraged to dream about a certain topic during sleep onset, they perform more creatively than at any other time. How important it is for students to get enough sleep! A new report shows that 54.7% of people who often eat late at night and 65.4% of people who are used to smoking have trouble sleeping. What’s more, 85.5% of people who seldom use their phones before bed sleep well, compared to 73.9% of those who use them often. So keep good habits! 1．What’s the main idea of paragraph 2? A．What students do after school. B．How many students don’t get enough sleep. C．How students get enough sleep. D．Why students’ sleep problems come into focus. 2．Which of the following can be put in ★ ?

B．Being used to smoking. C．Seldom using phones before bed. D．Lying in bed watching TV. 5．Which would be the best theme (主题) picture of the passage?

Researchers followed 1,200 middle school students for six months. They found that students who practised two simple activities showed better mental health than others. The first activity was “gratitude journaling” (感恩日记) —writing down three things they were thankful for each day. The second was “nature breaks”—spending just 15 minutes daily outdoors. Students doing these showed 30% lower stress levels and improved sleep quality. Dr. Emma Lewis, the lead researcher, said, “These methods cost nothing. Even busy students can spend 15 minutes outside or write a short journal.” The study also found that group activities like team sports had additional (附加的) benefits for social skills. Schools carrying out these practices reported fewer student absences (缺席) because of stress. Experts recommend starting with small steps for long-term mental health benefits. 1．What is the main purpose of the research? A．To study the effects of outdoor activities on students. B．To compare different schools’ mental health programs. C．To test for stress levels among students in middle school. D．To find simple daily habits that help student mental health. 2．How can you improve your social skills according to the text? A．By getting more sleep. B．By joining in team sports.

Instead of lively conversations, most people sit staring at their phones. A recent study found that 70% of teenagers prefer texting to face-to-face talks. But are we really connecting, or just exchanging emojis? ②First, let’s consider what we’re losing. Real conversations teach us important skills like reading expressions on faces and tones of voice. These “soft skills” help us make friends and succeed at work. When we only communicate through phones, we miss these learning chances. Experts call this “social malnutrition”—when our communication diet lacks real human connection. ③Moreover, online communication is like last food, quick and satisfying but not very nutritious (有营养的). A text can never take the place of the warmth of a hug or the light in someone’s eyes when they laugh. Our phones give us thousands of connections, but how many real friends do we have? When did “friends” become just names on a screen? ④Additionally, we’re forgetting how to focus on the moment. At dinner, instead of talking, everyone just looks at their phones. We’re losing the ability to truly listen to each other. But imagine being outside in nature—no phone noises, just the wind in the trees and real conversations. ⑤In short, technology won’t disappear, but we must control it instead of letting it control us. Next time you’re with friends, try putting phones away. You might rediscover the joy of real connection. After all, humans have lived for thousands of years before smartphones were invented—surely we can manage a meal without them! 1．What do the underlined words “social malnutrition” mean in paragraph 2? A．Making friends while working. B．Sending too many emojis online. C．Missing real communication skills. D．Using phones while eating with friends. 2．Why does the author compare online communication to fast food? A．Because it’s becoming more popular. B．Because it’s cheap and easy to get. C．Because it’s bad for people’s health. D．Because it’s quick but not meaningful. 3．What does the author suggest for better communication? A．Have phone-free meals. B．Use more emojis in texts. C．Send messages more carefully. D．Spend more time on social media. 4．What’s the structure of the passage? A．①②/③/④⑤ B．①/②③④/⑤ C．①/②③/④⑤ D．①②/③④/⑤ 【答案】1．C 2．D 3．A 4．B 【导语】本文探讨了现代社会中人们过度依赖手机交流的现象。研究显示70%的青少年更偏爱短信而非面对面交谈，这种趋势导致人们缺失真实沟通中的“软技能”，陷入“社交营养不良”。作者将线上交流比作快餐，虽便捷却缺乏深度，并呼吁人们在与朋友相处时放下手机，重拾真实连接的快乐。 1．词句猜测题。根据第二段“When we only communicate through phones, we miss these-learning chances. Experts call this ‘social malnutrition’—when our communication diet lacks real human connection.”可知，当只有手机交流时，就错过了这些学习机会，实际上就是缺乏真实的人际连接。专家称为“social malnutrition”，即“缺失真实沟通技能”。故选C。 2．细节理解题。根据第三段“online communication is like fast food, quick and satisfying but not very nutritious”可知，两者的共性是“快速但无意义”。故选D。 3．细节理解题。根据末段“Next time you’re with friends, try putting phones away. You might rediscover the joy of real connection.”可知，作者建议“无手机用餐”。故选A。 4．篇章结构题。①段，引出“手机交流取代面对面交谈”的现象；②③④段，从“失去沟通技能、缺乏深度、无法专注当下”三个方面分析问题；⑤段，总结建议“控制技术，重拾真实连接”。结构为“现象引入—问题分析— 总结建议”，即①/②③④/⑤。故选B。 重难语篇提升练 More and more teenagers are taking risks nowadays. They climb mountains, cross oceans and run marathons (马拉松) in the desert. But why do they take so many risks? Our reporter Jenny Hammond explores. In 2011, pretty Dutch (荷兰的) schoolgirl Laura Dekker wasn’t shopping for clothes with her girlfriends. She wasn’t going to parties or watching popular reality shows on TV. For all of 2011, she was sailing (航行) around the world on a boat. But it wasn’t a holiday. She wasn’t on a ship with her family. She was sailing around the world ... alone. When she finished her journey, she became the youngest person to sail alone around the world, with stops. She was 16 years and 123 days old. Two years before her record-breaking trip, Australian Jessica Watson also sailed alone around the world. But she did it without stops. She was a bit older than Laura and her challenge was bigger because she didn’t stop anywhere. These girls are not unusual. There are many teenagers who are trying to break records. They are young explorers who have great goals and it seems that no challenge can scare them. But why are they in a hurry to do it all now? Why don’t they wait until they are older and have more experience? One reason is that we have explored everything except the oceans. There isn’t really anything new to do. Many people have climbed Mount Everest or sailed around. The only way to break a record now is to do it at a younger age. But this can be very dangerous when something goes wrong. For example, when you are sailing in a storm and you’re tired, you need experience to stay alive. You don’t have much experience when you are young. So why do teenagers take risks? “Kids dream more than adults,” said one teenage explorer. Maybe he’s right. What do you think? 1．What did Laura Dekker do in 2011? A．She shopped with friends. B．She watched reality shows often. C．She traveled with family. D．She sailed around the world alone. 2．How was Jessica Watson’s journey different from Laura Dekker’s? A．She completed a trip across the sea. B．She didn’t make any stops. C．Her journey was less challenging. D．She was younger than Laura. 3．Why do young teenagers try to break records in a hurry? A．They aren’t afraid of anything. B．They have more experience. C．Few new challenges remain. D．It’s safer to do it when young. 4．What is the best title for the text? A．Why Teenagers Take Risks B．How to Sail Around the World C．How to Avoid Sailing Risks D．Why Adults Take Fewer Risks 【答案】1．D 2．B 3．C 4．A 【导语】本文围绕青少年冒险这一现象展开，先是例介绍Laura Dekker和Jessica Watson独自环球航行的事迹，阐述有许多青少年尝试打破纪录，分析他们急于打破纪录的原因，最后借青少年探险家之口“孩子比成年人有更多梦想”，探讨青少年冒险的缘由，核心是探究青少年为何热衷于冒险。 1．细节理解题。根据“In 2011...For all of 2011, she was sailing (航行) around the world on a boat...alone.”可知，说明Laura Dekker在2011年独自环球航行。故选D。 2．细节理解题。根据“Two years before her record - breaking trip, Australian Jessica Watson also sailed alone around the world. But she did it without stops.可知，Laura Dekker航行有停靠，Jessica Watson航行无停靠。故选B。 3．细节理解题。根据“One reason is that we have explored everything except the oceans. There isn’t really anything new to do. Many people have climbed Mount Everest or sailed around. The only way to break a record now is to do it at a younger age.”可知，因为几乎没有新挑战了，所以青少年急于打破纪录。故选C。 4．最佳标题题。通读原文可知，文章开篇提出青少年冒险现象，接着举例、分析原因，最后探讨青少年冒险的缘由，核心是探究青少年为何冒险。故选A。 Today’s teenagers are social media (媒体) natives. In China, 22.8 percent of Internet users are between the ages of 10 and 19. Most of them go online to chat. However, teenagers may communicate with different kinds of people through social media, where their parents are not included. Most teens care a lot about what information is seen by whom, according to a study from the Pew Research Center. 58 percent of teens say they post inside jokes or coded (编码的) messages that only the people of the same age would understand. They say they don’t want to be under the watchful eyes of their parents while using social media. To avoid parents’ watchful eyes, teenagers even invented their own coded online languages. Chinese teens know well using symbols and words that sound alike but stand for something else. For example, “children’s shoes” means “classmates” because they sound alike in Chinese. The teenagers in the UK do the same thing. They use “LMIRL” for “Let’s meet in real life”. And “P999” means “parent alert (警报)” because “999” is the phone number for a sudden serious and dangerous event or situation in the UK. Parents, meanwhile, are trying to become friends with their kids on social media. But they find they can’t even understand what their children are saying. To help them, the British government recently launched an online service called Parent Info, providing translations of teenagers’ coded online languages.

Most of the students reply with “No”. It’s not surprising at all. Although research shows how good it is for children to play outside, they still spend more time staying indoors. In fact, outdoor play has a positive (积极的) influence on children’s development. Over the last fifteen years, schools have started to realize the importance of outdoor time. It leads to the development of many programs that take learning outside the classroom. One of these programs is Forest School which has increased in popularity over recent years. Forest School is an outdoor learning program that pays much attention to outdoor play in wooded spaces. In the early 1990s, a group of English educators went on a trip to Denmark. They noticed that open-air living was helpful for students. Upon their return from Denmark, they developed their first Forest School. Today the Forest School Association (协会) has more than 1,500 members. How does outdoor play stimulate learning? In Forest School, children are provided with chances to explore the natural environment and experience risks and challenges. Recent research shows that some changes happen to children. They are able to develop skills they have learned at school in daily life. They work more closely with their classmates. They are more physically active. And they know how to move safely in the wild. The World Health Organization has advised that children should have more chances to play in nature to grow up healthily. Forest School will help them fall in love with the great outdoors. It is also helpful for them to develop skills and creative thinking. All make preparations for later life! 1．What can we learn from Paragraph 1? A．Students are interested in climbing trees.

Sometimes you don’t have to go to a doctor. Usually children can get them between the ages of 3 and 5 or 8 and 12. When children are over fifteen, most of them don’t get growing pains. Children often get growing pains in their legs. Growing pains often start before bedtime and sometimes in the middle of the night. But they go away by the morning. Doctors don’t know why. They think when children run, climb or jump a lot during the day, they may have pains in their legs at night. Parents can help children feel better by buying some medicine. But it is not good for children. Here are some ways that may help children feel better. ①Put a piece of warm cloth on the place where children feel pain. ②Ask children to stretch the legs like what they do in the P.E. class. ③Ask somebody to help massage (按摩) the painful legs. 1．________ probably gets growing pains.

That’s when the “Boredom Buster” comes to help. It offers advice on keeping busy depending on how you feel. Feeling scared? “Try writing down your fears and think about the reasons behind them.” Sad? “Try watching your favorite TV show.” The Boredom Buster is a part of an app called Saplings, made to help teenagers deal with a restless mind. The app also has a guide for keeping a diary and a place for meditation (冥想). Created in 2021 by 16-year-old Vaishnavi Kumbala from the US, the app was born out of her worry for people of her age with mental health problems. “A lot of mental health resources out there are for adults or younger kids,” Kumbala told The Washington Post. She saw many teenagers feel lonely and sad. Some of them are too shy to reach out for help. While it can’t take the place of doctors, the app can work together with their help. “The prompts (提醒) in the guided diary are made just for teens,” Kumbala said. Prompts include questions like “What are the simple things in your life that you shouldn’t take for granted (想当然)?” and “What is your greatest interest? How can you use it in your life every day in a small way?” There are also encouraging sayings, including “Stay hungry, stay foolish”. “I wanted to create something that was by a teen for teens,” Kumbala said. Her app won the 2021 Congressional App Challenge in Louisiana’s First District. The goal of competition is to help middle and high school students explore computer science careers. 1．Who created the “Boredom Buster”? A．A 16-year-old boy. B．A 16-year-old girl. C．An adult.

A．An app for teens B．Going online C．Vaishnavi Kumbala D．A competition Sally is a teenage girl who wants to be a dancer. But her parents want her to be a doctor. She wants to obey (服从) her parents’ wish, but she also wants to follow her dream. Being a teenager is hard. You feel old enough to make your own decision, but your parents always think that they know what’s best for you. So, how can Sally fix her problem? First, teenagers can try to look at things from their parents’ point of view. Parents often have long-term plans for their kids. When our parents control what we do, they’re only trying to guide us. Our parents have been through much more things than we have. So, it is reasonable to trust them. After all, they control us because they love us. But let’s also look at things through a teenager’s eyes. Many teens feel like they can take on more responsibilities. Instead of just accepting our parents’ choices or arguing with them, we should try sharing our feelings with our parents. Sharing feelings with our parents can help make positive changes, while not sharing them can bring misunderstandings. So, if you feel that your parents’ decision is unfair, you should sit down together and talk about it. By sharing your feelings and coming up with a proper argument, you may be able to change their minds. Their trust in you will also grow. As you get older, you’ll be able to make your own decisions. 1．What is Sally’s dream? A．To be a doctor. B．To be a singer. C．To be a dancer. D．To be a pilot. 2．What does the underlined word “reasonable” mean in Paragraph 4? A．Wise. B．Easy. C．Special. D．Impossible. 3．Which of the following will the writer probably agree with? A．Parents’ decision is unfair. B．Parents should control children, C．Teenagers shouldn’t trust their parents. D．It is necessary to share feelings with parents. 4．How does the writer fix Sally’s problem? A．By discussing with Sally. B．By giving some examples. C．By giving several suggestions. D．By answering Sally’s questions. 5．What is the best title for the text? A．Can Sally’s dream come true? B．What is parents’ responsibility? C．Do your parents always help you? D．How can we communicate with parents? DO YOU FEEL WORRIEDHaving a strong body and good mental (精神的) health is important.

Nowadays, many students have had this experience, so not getting enough sleep among teenagers has come into focus. Between homework, after-school activities and temptation (诱惑) to use electronic devices, many teenagers suffer from not getting enough sleep. In China, about 50% of young people born after 2000 go to bed before midnight. In the US, 77.3 percent of high school students do not get enough sleep. Thus it’s no wonder many students feel sleepy during the day. In fact, quality sleep is important for everyone, especially for teenagers. They need nine to 10 hours of sleep each day—more than adults. This is because deep mental, physical, social and emotional development happens in one’s teens. For students, sleep plays a key role in school performance. It helps with learning by improving attention, memory and thinking skills. ★ . A study in the late 20th century compared creative performance between people who didn’t get enough sleep and those who slept normally. The first group scored lower on the tests of creative thinking. They repeated the same mistakes and could not think up new ideas. More recently, in 2023, a research team discovered that “sleep onset”, a special stage of sleep, is good for creativity. This stage happens when we are between being awake and asleep. When people are encouraged to dream about a certain topic during sleep onset, they perform more creatively than at any other time. How important it is for students to get enough sleep! A new report shows that 54.7% of people who often eat late at night and 65.4% of people who are used to smoking have trouble sleeping. What’s more, 85.5% of people who seldom use their phones before bed sleep well, compared to 73.9% of those who use them often. So keep good habits! 1．What’s the main idea of paragraph 2? A．What students do after school. B．How many students don’t get enough sleep. C．How students get enough sleep. D．Why students’ sleep problems come into focus. 2．Which of the following can be put in ★ ?

B．Being used to smoking. C．Seldom using phones before bed. D．Lying in bed watching TV. 5．Which would be the best theme (主题) picture of the passage? A． B． C． D． A 2024 study from the University of Cambridge suggests that small daily habits can greatly improve students’ mental health. Researchers followed 1,200 middle school students for six months. They found that students who practised two simple activities showed better mental health than others. The first activity was “gratitude journaling” (感恩日记) —writing down three things they were thankful for each day. The second was “nature breaks”—spending just 15 minutes daily outdoors. Students doing these showed 30% lower stress levels and improved sleep quality. Dr. Emma Lewis, the lead researcher, said, “These methods cost nothing. Even busy students can spend 15 minutes outside or write a short journal.” The study also found that group activities like team sports had additional (附加的) benefits for social skills. Schools carrying out these practices reported fewer student absences (缺席) because of stress. Experts recommend starting with small steps for long-term mental health benefits. 1．What is the main purpose of the research? A．To study the effects of outdoor activities on students. B．To compare different schools’ mental health programs. C．To test for stress levels among students in middle school. D．To find simple daily habits that help student mental health. 2．How can you improve your social skills according to the text? A．By getting more sleep. B．By joining in team sports.

C．They had better sleep quality. D．They became interested in sports. 4．What is the best title for the text? A．Group Activities and Social Skills B．Reasons for Fewer Student Absences C．Ways to Improve Students’ Sleep Quality D．Small Habits, Big Benefits for Students’ Mental Health ①Have you noticed how quiet restaurants have become? Instead of lively conversations, most people sit staring at their phones. A recent study found that 70% of teenagers prefer texting to face-to-face talks. But are we really connecting, or just exchanging emojis? ②First, let’s consider what we’re losing. Real conversations teach us important skills like reading expressions on faces and tones of voice. These “soft skills” help us make friends and succeed at work. When we only communicate through phones, we miss these learning chances. Experts call this “social malnutrition”—when our communication diet lacks real human connection. ③Moreover, online communication is like last food, quick and satisfying but not very nutritious (有营养的). A text can never take the place of the warmth of a hug or the light in someone’s eyes when they laugh. Our phones give us thousands of connections, but how many real friends do we have? When did “friends” become just names on a screen? ④Additionally, we’re forgetting how to focus on the moment. At dinner, instead of talking, everyone just looks at their phones. We’re losing the ability to truly listen to each other. But imagine being outside in nature—no phone noises, just the wind in the trees and real conversations. ⑤In short, technology won’t disappear, but we must control it instead of letting it control us. Next time you’re with friends, try putting phones away. You might rediscover the joy of real connection. After all, humans have lived for thousands of years before smartphones were invented—surely we can manage a meal without them! 1．What do the underlined words “social malnutrition” mean in paragraph 2? A．Making friends while working. B．Sending too many emojis online. C．Missing real communication skills. D．Using phones while eating with friends. 2．Why does the author compare online communication to fast food? A．Because it’s becoming more popular. B．Because it’s cheap and easy to get. C．Because it’s bad for people’s health. D．Because it’s quick but not meaningful. 3．What does the author suggest for better communication? A．Have phone-free meals. B．Use more emojis in texts. C．Send messages more carefully. D．Spend more time on social media. 4．What’s the structure of the passage? A．①②/③/④⑤ B．①/②③④/⑤ C．①/②③/④⑤ D．①②/③④/⑤ 重难语篇提升练 More and more teenagers are taking risks nowadays. They climb mountains, cross oceans and run marathons (马拉松) in the desert. But why do they take so many risks? Our reporter Jenny Hammond explores. In 2011, pretty Dutch (荷兰的) schoolgirl Laura Dekker wasn’t shopping for clothes with her girlfriends. She wasn’t going to parties or watching popular reality shows on TV. For all of 2011, she was sailing (航行) around the world on a boat. But it wasn’t a holiday. She wasn’t on a ship with her family. She was sailing around the world ... alone. When she finished her journey, she became the youngest person to sail alone around the world, with stops. She was 16 years and 123 days old. Two years before her record-breaking trip, Australian Jessica Watson also sailed alone around the world. But she did it without stops. She was a bit older than Laura and her challenge was bigger because she didn’t stop anywhere. These girls are not unusual. There are many teenagers who are trying to break records. They are young explorers who have great goals and it seems that no challenge can scare them. But why are they in a hurry to do it all now? Why don’t they wait until they are older and have more experience? One reason is that we have explored everything except the oceans. There isn’t really anything new to do. Many people have climbed Mount Everest or sailed around. The only way to break a record now is to do it at a younger age. But this can be very dangerous when something goes wrong. For example, when you are sailing in a storm and you’re tired, you need experience to stay alive. You don’t have much experience when you are young. So why do teenagers take risks? “Kids dream more than adults,” said one teenage explorer. Maybe he’s right. What do you think? 1．What did Laura Dekker do in 2011? A．She shopped with friends. B．She watched reality shows often. C．She traveled with family. D．She sailed around the world alone. 2．How was Jessica Watson’s journey different from Laura Dekker’s? A．She completed a trip across the sea. B．She didn’t make any stops. C．Her journey was less challenging. D．She was younger than Laura. 3．Why do young teenagers try to break records in a hurry? A．They aren’t afraid of anything. B．They have more experience. C．Few new challenges remain. D．It’s safer to do it when young. 4．What is the best title for the text? A．Why Teenagers Take Risks B．How to Sail Around the World C．How to Avoid Sailing Risks D．Why Adults Take Fewer Risks Today’s teenagers are social media (媒体) natives. In China, 22.8 percent of Internet users are between the ages of 10 and 19. Most of them go online to chat. However, teenagers may communicate with different kinds of people through social media, where their parents are not included. Most teens care a lot about what information is seen by whom, according to a study from the Pew Research Center. 58 percent of teens say they post inside jokes or coded (编码的) messages that only the people of the same age would understand. They say they don’t want to be under the watchful eyes of their parents while using social media. To avoid parents’ watchful eyes, teenagers even invented their own coded online languages. Chinese teens know well using symbols and words that sound alike but stand for something else. For example, “children’s shoes” means “classmates” because they sound alike in Chinese. The teenagers in the UK do the same thing. They use “LMIRL” for “Let’s meet in real life”. And “P999” means “parent alert (警报)” because “999” is the phone number for a sudden serious and dangerous event or situation in the UK. Parents, meanwhile, are trying to become friends with their kids on social media. But they find they can’t even understand what their children are saying. To help them, the British government recently launched an online service called Parent Info, providing translations of teenagers’ coded online languages. This is to help parents learn more about their children. “In a period of rebellion (叛逆), teenagers tend to keep themselves less connected with their parents,” said an expert from a university. “Trying to understand their thoughts and languages may help parents improve relationships with their kids.” 1．What does the underlined word “they” in Paragraph 2 refer to?
