In many families, teenagers are expected to help with chores, such as cleaning their rooms, washing dishes, or taking care of younger siblings. These tasks help them learn to be responsible and independent. School also gives teenagers more responsibilities. They have more homework and need to manage their time well. Some students join clubs or become class leaders, which teaches them how to work with others and make decisions. However, some teenagers feel stressed because they have too much to do. It’s important for parents and teachers to guide them and help them balance their duties and free time. Learning to be responsible is a key part of growing up. It prepares teenagers for their future as adults. 31. What is the main idea of the second paragraph? A. Teenagers like doing chores. B. Chores help teenagers become responsible. C.

Because they have no friends. B. Because they have too much to do. C. Because they don’t go to school. D. Because they are too tall. 35. What does the writer think about being responsible? A. It is not important. B. It is only for adults. C. It prepares teenagers for the future. D. It makes teenagers unhappy. C 篇 Growing up involves both physical changes and psychological development. One important psychological change is the development of a sense of self. During childhood, children often depend on their parents for decisions and direction. As they enter adolescence, they start to form their own opinions and values. They ask questions like “Who am I?” and “What do I want to be?” This process is called identity formation. Teenagers may try different hobbies, styles, or friends to find out what fits them best. Sometimes they face confusion or pressure from peers and society. Support from family and friends is crucial during this time. Another key change is the development of empathy—the ability to understand and share the feelings of others. Young children are often self-centered, but as they grow, they learn to consider other people’s perspectives. Growing up is not always easy, but these challenges help teenagers become mature and well-rounded adults. 36. What does “psychological development” refer to? A. Changes in height and weight. B. Changes in thinking and feelings. C. Learning new skills. D. Doing chores. 37. What is “identity formation”? A. Forgetting who you are. B. Forming your own opinions and values. C. Always following parents’ decisions. D. Looking like your parents. 38. Why might teenagers try different hobbies or styles? A. To waste time. B. To find out what fits them best. C. To make their parents angry. D. To avoid schoolwork. 39. What is empathy? A. Being selfish. B. Understanding others’ feelings. C. Making decisions quickly. D. Growing taller. 40. What is the main idea of the passage? A. Physical growth is the most important. B. Teenagers should not have responsibilities. C. Growing up includes psychological changes and challenges. D. Childhood is better than adolescence. 四、任务型阅读（共5小题，每小题2分，共10分） 阅读下面关于Tom成长变化的短文，根据内容完成句子，每空一词。 Tom is 15 years old. He used to be a quiet boy and spent most of his time reading alone.
