You’d better keep away from him.”可知，Ben的父母对Ben与Mike交朋友不满意。故选A。 2．细节理解题。根据图表中“talk to parents when having problems”所占比例不到20%可知，少数孩子在遇到问题时会和父母交谈，D选项正确。故选D。 3．推理判断题。根据“Some suggestions from experts”部分的内容，如“Communicate with your kids in a friendly way.”等建议，可知这些建议是给父母的。故选A。 Life is always changing. Some changes can be good things, like joining a club or making a new friend. However, some changes could make you feel worried or uncertain(不确定的). They can be big things, like changing schools or losing a friend. They can be small ones, like changes in parents’ work hours or a new teacher taking over your class. All of these things can bring up some pretty big feelings and that’s OK. Change can be hard to deal with because it often brings feelings of uncertainty. Emily Hanlon is a child psychologist (心理学家). She explains, “Our brains love daily plans and usual habits. They make us feel safe. When something changes, it can feel like going on a surprise trip without a map. This can make us feel nervous or worried because we don’t know what to expect.” Change can also be hard if you don’t feel quite ready for it or that you are not in control of whatever is happening. Can change be a good thing? Yes, life will be pretty boring if everything stays the same all the time. Trying new things and making changes help you find out what you like and don’t like. For example, if you didn’t try that new kind of ice cream, how would you know you love it? They also help you to grow and learn skills. Hanlon says, “Although change can make you feel scared, it often leads to new trips, new friends, and confidence.” 1．Which of the following is a“big change” according to Paragraph 1? A．Studying in a new school. B．Making some new friends. C．Trying a new kind of ice cream. D．Parents’ new working time. 2．Why is change hard to deal with? A．Because it always makes us feel bored. B．Because it stops us from making new friends. C．Because our brains dislike daily habits and plans. D．Because it makes people feel uncertain and worried. 3．What does the example of “trying new ice cream” in Paragraph 3 try to show? A．How changes help us learn new skills. B．How we can keep healthy eating habits. C．How we can try new things and make changes. D．How changes help us find out what we like and dislike. 4．What is the passage mainly about? A．It’s easier to keep daily habits than try new things. B．People should always welcome changes without worry. C．Though changes can be hard, they can also help us grow. D．Some changes are bad and people should try to stop them. 【答案】1．A 2．D 3．D 4．C 【导语】本文通过阐述生活中变化的相关内容，表达对生活变化的看法，并给出应对建议。 1．细节理解题。根据“They can be big things, like changing schools or losing a friend.”可知，在新学校学习是大的变化。故选A。 2．细节理解题。根据“Change can be hard to deal with because it often brings feelings of uncertainty”可知，变化难以处理，因为它常带来不确定感，选项D“因为变化会让人感到不确定和担忧”符合题意。故选D。 3．细节理解题。根据“Trying new things and making changes help you find out what you like and don’t like.”以及“For example, if you didn’t try that new kind of ice cream, how would you know you love it?”可知，尝试新事物和做出变化能帮助你发现自己喜欢和不喜欢什么，冰淇淋例子直接论证此观点。故选D。 4．主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其根据“While change can feel scary, it often leads to new trips, new friends, and confidence.”可知，文章主题是平衡变化的挑战与益处。故选C。 These days, many students are facing some common problems. Some students feel that their parents don’t allow them to use mobile phones or play computer games. They often argue with their parents about this. Also, some students find it hard to get on with their classmates. They may have fights or misunderstandings, and then they can’t continue their friendship. In my opinion, these problems can be solved. First, you should communicate more with your parents. Tell them your feelings and why you need some free time to relax. Your parents will understand you better. Second, if you have problems with your classmates, try to talk to them calmly. Listen to their opinions and explain yours. Don’t be angry easily. Everyone should learn to respect others. I believe if students follow these suggestions, they can get along with their parents and classmates, and have a happier school life. 1．What does the writer think students should do first when having problems with parents? A．Leave home. B．Argue with them. C．Talk with friends. D．Communicate more. 2．The underlined word “calmly” means ________ in Chinese. A．激动地 B．冷静地 C．生气地 D．悲伤地 3．Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage? A．Parents never understand their children. B．Communication is important for solving problems. C．Students often have problems with their parents and classmates. D．Students should respect others when getting on with classmates. 4．What’s the main idea of the passage? A．Students’ problems and some advice. B．How to get on with classmates. C．Why students argue with parents. D．Students’ daily life. 【答案】1．D 2．B 3．A 4．A 【导语】本文是议论文，主要讲述了学生在与父母和同学相处时遇到的常见问题，并给出了相应的解决建议。 1．细节理解题。根据文中“First, you should communicate more with your parents.”可知，作者认为学生和父母发生矛盾时，首先应该多沟通。故选D。 2．词句猜测题。根据“Listen to their opinions and explain yours. Don’t be angry easily”可知，不要生气，要冷静，因此“calmly”意为“冷静地”。故选B。 3．细节判断题。根据“Tell them your feelings and why you need some free time to relax. Your parents will understand you better”可知，父母会理解孩子，因此“父母从不理解孩子”这一说法是错误的。故选A。 4．主旨大意题。文章先介绍了学生面临的与父母、同学相处的问题，接着给出了具体的解决建议，所以主旨是“学生的问题及相关建议”。故选A。 ①There is a famous expression in English “Stop the world, I want to get off!” This expression is actually about a feeling of stress, which makes a person want to stop whatever they are doing. Why not try to relax? “Stress” means pressure. It is one of the most common causes of health problems in modern life. Too much stress results in physical, emotional, and mental health problems. ②There are plenty of physical effects of stress. Stress can affect the heart. It can make the heart beat faster or miss beats, and can also cause high blood pressure. Stress can cause a person to breathe too fast and can also result in stomach hurts and digesting (消化) problems. These are a few examples of illnesses resulting from stress. ③Emotions are also easily affected by stress. People who have too much stress often feel worried and tired. When people are under stress, they often overreact (反应过度) to little problems. For example, a normally gentle parent under a lot of stress at work may shout at a child for dropping a glass of juice. Stress can make people angry or nervous easily. ④Long-term stress can lead to different kinds of serious mental illnesses. Depression (抑郁), a terrible feeling of sadness and hopelessness, can be the result of continued and increasing stress. Being unable to sleep well are sometimes caused by stress and are often made worse by stress. If stress continues, then one’s mental health is at risk. ⑤It is clear that stress is a serious problem. It has a great influence on the health and our feeling. So, cut down stress, stop the world and rest for a while. 1．How might people feel when they say “Stop the world, I want to get off!”? A．Excited. B．Happy. C．Relaxed. D．Upset. 2．Which of the following physical effects are caused by stress? ①fast heartbeat    ②being worried    ③stomachache    ④feeling hopeless A．①② B．③④ C．①③ D．②④ 3．Why is depression mentioned in the fourth paragraph? A．To give an example of the result of long-term stress. B．To explain the effects of depression. C．To tell us the worst effect of stress. D．To show the writer’s opinion on emotions. 4．Which is the best structure of the passage? A．①②/③④/⑤ B．①/②③/④⑤ C．①/②③④/⑤ D．①/②/③④/⑤ 【答案】1．D 2．C 3．A 4．C 【导语】本文主要介绍了压力会对健康有很大的影响，太多的压力会导致身体、情绪和精神上的问题，作者呼吁人们减少压力放松一段时间。 1．细节理解题。据第一段“This expression is actually about a feeling of stress, which makes a person want to stop whatever they are doing.”可知，这个表达实际上与压力感有关，这使一个人想停止他们正在做的任何事情。压力通常伴随负面情绪，选项中只有Upset符合语境。故选D。 2．细节理解题。根据第二段“Stress can affect the heart. It can make the heart beat faster or miss beats, and can also cause high blood pressure. Stress can cause a person to breathe too fast and can also result in stomach hurts and digesting(消化) problems.”可知，压力会让心跳加快或错过心跳，会导致高血压，呼吸过快，也会导致胃痛和消化问题。①③符合，②④属于情绪和心理影响。故选C。 3．细节理解题。根据第四段“Long-term stress can lead to different kinds of serious mental illnesses.”可知，第四段讲的是长期压力会导致各种严重的精神疾病，提到抑郁是为了举例说明长期压力的后果。故选A。 4．篇章结构题。通读全文可知，第一段是总述压力的危害，第二、三、四段分别介绍压力对人的身体、情绪和精神上的危害，第五段总结，呼吁减少压力，属于“总—分—总”结构。故选C。 阅读下面短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。 Peer pressure is a common experience for many teens. It means doing something just because you don’t want to be left out by your friends. Sometimes it can be good—like encouraging you to study harder or join a sports club. But often, it makes you feel bad for being different from others. Colin, a middle school student, knows this well. His hobby is knitting (编织), which many of his classmates think is “unusual”. Some even laugh at him, and not all his friends accept his hobby. Most of his friends prefer activities like playing soccer or spending time on screens. Colin feels lonely and wonders if he should give up knitting to fit in. Hannah, who helps teens with problems, shares a story about her friend. He has loved dancing ballet since he was a kid. At school, other kids made fun of him for his hobby. But he didn’t give up. He kept practicing hard, and now he is very successful. Surprisingly, he is thankful to those kids—their jokes pushed him to work harder. Hannah’s advice for Colin and other teens is simple: Don’t let peer pressure control you. Be proud of who you are and your hobbies. Try sharing your hobby with friends—they might understand you better. Remember, being different is not a bad thing; it’s what makes you special. 1．What is Colin’s hobby that his classmates don’t accept? A．Knitting. B．Playing soccer. C．Reading books. D．Playing video games. 2．What happened to Hannah’s friend in the end? A．He gave up ballet to fit in. B．He became a successful ballet dancer. C．He fought with the kids who laughed at him. D．He changed his hobby to sports. 3．Why was Hannah’s friend thankful to the kids who made fun of him? A．They helped him learn ballet better. B．He used their jokes as motivation (动力) to practice harder. C．They later became his biggest fans. D．He wanted to show he was kind. 4．Which of the following is the best title for the passage? A．Colin’s Unusual Hobby B．How to Make More Friends C．Be Yourself: How to Deal with Peer Pressure D．Hannah’s Great Advice on Studying 【答案】1．A 2．B 3．B 4．C 【导语】本文通过Colin和Hannah朋友的例子，介绍了同伴压力对青少年的影响，并给出了“做自己、不必被他人眼光左右”的应对建议。 1．细节理解题。根据文中“Colin, a middle school student, knows this well. His hobby is knitting, which many of his classmates think is ‘unusual’. Some even laugh at him, and not all his friends accept his hobby.”可知，Colin的爱好是编织，他的同学不接受这个爱好。故选A。 2．细节理解题。根据文中“Hannah, who helps teens with problems, shares a story about her friend. He has loved dancing ballet since he was a kid…He kept practicing hard, and now he is very successful.”可知，Hannah的朋友坚持练习芭蕾，最后在芭蕾上取得了成功。故选B。 3．细节理解题。根据文中“Surprisingly, he is thankful to those kids—their jokes pushed him to work harder.”可知，Hannah的朋友把那些孩子的玩笑当作动力，更加努力练习，因此对他们心怀感激。故选B。 4．主旨大意题。根据全文内容，文章先是介绍了同伴压力的现象，接着通过Colin和Hannah朋友的例子展开，最后给出了应对同伴压力的建议：“Don’t let peer pressure control you. Be proud of who you are and your hobbies.”，核心是“做自己，如何应对同伴压力”。故选C。 进阶拓展训练5篇 Johnson arrived at Mount Aconcagua, the highest mountain in the Argentine Andes. He began his climb to achieve his dream after years of preparation. But he went up alone. He started climbing and it was becoming later and later. He did not prepare for camping, so he had to keep on climbing. Soon night fell and Johnson could not see anything. Everything was black. There was no moon, and the stars were covered by clouds. As he was climbing only about 10 feet away from the top, he fell. He could only see darkness passing at a great speed. He kept falling...He thought certainly he would die. But then Johnson felt the long rope tied (系住) to his hand pull very hard. His body was hanging in the air. He had no other choice but to shout, “Help me! Help me!” Suddenly he heard a deep voice, “What do you want me to do?” “Save me!” “Do you really think that I can save you?” “Of course.” “Then cut the rope that is holding you up.” However, Johnson just held tighter (更紧地) to the rope. A few days later, the dead climber was found hanging from a rope ... TWO FEET OFF THE GROUND! How much do you believe in some “ropes”? Sometimes you have to be brave to cut the rope and let go. The result might give you a surprise. 1．From Paragraph 1, we can get the ________ of the story. A．background B．development C．climax (most exciting part) D．ending 2．It’s clear that Johnson ________.

Sometimes you have to be brave to cut the rope and let go. The result might give you a surprise.”可知，文章核心是告诉我们要勇敢放下依赖的“绳子”，D选项符合文章主旨。故选D。 Exam stress (压力)!

Our once lively house became quiet and lonely. I missed and worried about him so much that I started sending him messages on the phone, mainly to say hello or to give him a word of warning. One of my messages said, “So you told me you lost your wallet. If you are always careless, one day you’ll wake up and find yourself lost.” I did get Eric’s messages, but most of them were about money. I was a bit angry. They were not different from the notes he used to leave on the whiteboard when he was at home. “I bought a new pair of shoes. They cost me $90. Please help!” “Money is running short because I’ve bought some books for my research paper. Help me, please!” Recently, however, Eric begins to send me all kinds of articles. Some are funny, some are touching and some make me think. He knows I haven’t got many things to do in my free time. He says they will help me understand young men better and keep up with the times. I read the articles slowly, like a careful student, with mixed feelings as well—my kid, who followed me around not long ago, has now become my teacher! So I write back, “I’ve read all those articles. I’ll take them as a loving son’s hopes towards his mother. He must be thinking that his mother is still young enough to accept new things. That makes me feel proud. We parents can’t learn quickly and change in both body and mind. Thank you, my son.” In this way we share ideas, with a gentle and beautiful language we seldom use. Every time I read those messages, I feel warm. 1．Why did the writer keep sending messages to Eric? A．To ask Eric to return home soon. B．Because Eric needed her advice every day. C．Because she felt lonely and worried about him. D．To tell Eric how quiet the house had become. 2．What did the son often write about in the past according to the underlined sentence? A．The study. B．The hobby. C．The future. D．Money. 3．Why does Eric send his mother all kinds of articles? ① To ask his mother for some more money. ② To give his mother some things to do. ③ To help his mother keep up with the times. ④ To help his mother understand the young better. A．①②③ B．②③④ C．①②④ D．①③④ 4．How does the writer’s feeling change? A．Proud → angry → worried. B．Proud → worried → angry. C．Angry → worried → proud. D．Worried → angry → proud. 5．Which part of a magazine may the article come from? A．Life. B．Health. C．Sports. D．Food. 【答案】1．C 2．D 3．B 4．D 5．A 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文，讲述了作者与儿子Eric在异国求学期间的短信交流故事，展现了母子二人从最初的牵挂、小情绪到后来相互理解、共同成长的情感变化。 1．细节理解题。根据“I missed and worried about him so much that I started sending him messages on the phone…”可知，作者是因为思念和担心儿子才坚持发信息。故选C。 2．推理判断题。根据“I did get Eric’s messages, but most of them were about money.”以及“They were not different from the notes he used to leave on the whiteboard when he was at home.”可知，儿子现在的信息和过去留在家里白板上的便条内容没什么不同，而现在的信息大多和钱有关，由此可推理出儿子过去的便条内容也大多是关于钱的。故选D。 3．细节理解题。根据“He knows I haven’t got many things to do in my free time. He says they will help me understand young men better and keep up with the times.”可知，目的是②给妈妈找点事做、③帮妈妈跟上时代、④帮妈妈更好地理解年轻人，不包括①要钱。故选B。 4．推理判断题。根据文章内容，作者一开始是担心儿子（worried），然后因为儿子总要钱而生气（angry），最后因为儿子的转变而感到骄傲（proud）。故选D。 5．推理判断题。本文讲述的是母子之间的日常情感交流，属于生活类话题，最可能来自生活板块。故选A。 The clinic has helped thousands of students solve their problems since it was set up.

But her parents want her to be a doctor. She wants to follow her parents’ wishes, but she also wants to follow her heart. Being a teenager is hard. You feel old enough to make your own decisions, but your parents always think that they know what’s best for you. So, how can Sally solve her problem? First, teenagers can try to look at things from their parents’ side. 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 go through lots of things. So, we can reasonably trust them. After all, they control us because they love us. But let’s also look at things through a teenager’s eyes. Many teenagers feel like they can take on more responsibilities (责任). We shouldn’t just accept our parents’ choices or fight with them. We should try sharing our feelings with our parents. Sharing feelings with our parents can help make good changes, while not sharing with them can cause misunderstandings (误解). So, if you feel that your parents’ decision is not fair, you should sit down with your parents and talk about it. By sharing your feelings and coming up with a good reason, you may change their minds. Their trust in you will also grow. When you grow up, you can make your own decisions. 1．Why is it difficult to be a teenager? A．Because teenagers may make wrong decisions. B．Because there is much homework for teenagers to do. C．Because teenagers and their parents often have different ideas. D．Because teenagers have too many rules to follow. 2．What does the underlined word “reasonably” in Paragraph 4 mean? A．Wisely. B．Slowly. C．Proudly. D．Heavily. 3．How does the writer solve Sally’s problem? A．By discussing with Sally. B．By giving some examples. C．By giving some suggestions. D．By answering Sally’s questions. 4．Which would be the best title for the text? A．How Teenagers Solve Parent-Teen Problems B．Sally’s Dream of Being a Great Dancer C．Teenagers Should Share Feelings with Parents D．Parents Should Support Their Children 【答案】1．C 2．A 3．C 4．A 【导语】本文是议论文。主要以萨利的职业选择困惑为例，探讨了青少年与父母产生想法分歧的问题，并给出了相应的解决建议。 1．细节理解题。根据“You feel old enough to make your own decisions, but your parents always think that they know what’s best for you.”可知，青少年觉得自己能做决定，而父母却认为自己才知道什么对孩子最好，二者想法往往不同，所以做青少年很难。故选C。 2．词句猜测题。根据“Our parents go through lots of things.”和“After all, they control us because they love us.”可知，父母经历过很多事，管控孩子也是出于爱，所以孩子可以明智地去信任父母，由此推测reasonably意为“明智地”，与Wisely同义。故选A。 3．推理判断题。根据“So, how can Sally solve her problem?”后提出的“从父母的角度看问题”“和父母分享感受”“坐下来和父母沟通”等内容可知，作者是通过给出一些建议的方式来解决萨利的问题。故选C。 4．最佳标题题。文章以萨利的困惑引入，核心围绕青少年与父母之间的想法分歧展开，重点介绍了青少年该如何解决这类亲子问题，并非只讲萨利的舞蹈梦想、青少年分享感受或父母支持孩子，因此“How Teenagers Solve Parent-Teen Problems”最适合作为标题。故选A。 能力综合实践5篇 The National Report on Vision (视力)  says the population of Chinese with short-sightedness (近视) has reached 600 million, and about 70% of the teenagers (aged from 13 to 19) are short-sighted. China Daily reported more serious vision problems in China. In the report, 80% senior high school students are short-sighted, followed by 71% in junior high school, 36% in primary school and 14% of 6-year-olds. The shocking numbers are still rising these days. What causes this eyesight problem? Besides family history, there are some other reasons, such as not having enough outdoor activities, being short of enough sleep and too much use of electronic products. However, many young people don’t take short-sightedness seriously before they are short-sighted. They think it’s easy to solve the problem with the help of glasses, or eye operations (手术). And some of them even think that it is cool to wear glasses. When they became short-sighted, spent a lot of money on glasses, and felt uncomfortable after operations, they would regret for not caring about their eyes. Here’s one of the best ways to protect your eyes. Research shows people with more outdoor activities have better visions. Being outdoor not only gives your eyes enough light, but also helps you relax your eyes. And you should use less electronic products like smartphones and TV. Let’s try our best to take care of the windows of our hearts—eyes. 1．Which can best show the short-sighted problem of students? (rate: 比率) A． B． C． D． 2．What does the underlined word “shocking” in Paragraph 2 mean? A．Surprising. B．Exciting. C．Interesting. D．Developing. 3．What are the reasons for short-sightedness? ①family history    ②wearing glasses every day    ③being short of sleep ④not having enough outdoor activities    ⑤too much use of electronic products A．②③④⑤ B．①③④⑤ C．①②④⑤ D．①②③④ 4．What can we know according to Paragraph 3? A．All people think short-sightedness is a serious problem. B．Glasses and eye operations are useless. C．Many people don’t treat it as a problem before they are short-sighted. D．There are only one way to protect your eyes. 5．What’s the purpose of the passage? A．Call on people to take good care of their eyesight. B．Explain the possible reasons for short-sightedness. C．Introduce World Report on Vision to readers. D．Compare the short-sighted problems in different countries. 【答案】1．D 2．A 3．B 4．C 5．A 【导语】本文主要讲述了中国近视人口的现状及相关情况，并告诫人们要好好保护视力。 1．细节理解题。根据第二段内容可知，80%的高中生近视，其次是71%的初中生、36%的小学生和14%的6岁儿童。对应图表D的数据。故选D。 2．词义猜测题。根据“In the report, 80% senior high school students are short-sighted, followed by 71% in junior high school, 36% in primary school and 14% of 6-year-olds. The shocking numbers are still rising these days.”可知，报告显示，80%的高中生近视，其次初中生的近视率为71%，小学生为36%，6岁儿童的近视率为14%。而这些惊人的数字仍在上升。划线单词shocking意为“令人震惊的”，与surprising近义。故选A。 3．细节理解题。根据“What causes this eyesight problem? Besides family history, there are some other reasons, such as not having enough outdoor activities, being short of enough sleep and too much use of electronic products.”可知，家族遗传、没有足够的户外活动、缺乏睡眠以及过度使用电子产品都会导致近视。故选B。 4．细节理解题。根据“However, many young people don’t take shortsightedness seriously before they are short-sighted.”可知，许多年轻人在近视之前都不把近视当回事。故选C。 5．主旨大意题。根据“Let’s try our best to take care of the windows of our hearts—eyes.”以及通读全文后可知，本文主要讲述了中国近视人口的现状及相关情况，并告诫人们要好好保护视力。故选A。 Free time is a great chance for teenagers to have fun. But what about free time when parents are around? Some teenagers want to play freely without parents watching over them, while parents and experts might think differently. Lin Tao, a middle school student, believes teenagers should be able to play freely. “Last time I played with my parents nearby, I had a knot in my stomach and was unable to have a really good time,” Lin says. “My friend Chen Xiaoxin has the same kind of experiences. Once, he went out to play with his classmates, and everyone felt uncomfortable because his mother was watching.” Wang Min, Lin Tao’s mother, thinks playtime needs parents’ supervision (监督). She says, “People often say I like to restrain my child, but that’s not true. I’m just worried he might get into trouble. Some kids might have a bad effect on him, and some games like LARP (剧本杀) might lead him the wrong way. He could even lose himself into the stories and have a hard time getting back to real life.” Mr. Ma, a social studies doctor, says it’s easy to understand that teenagers want freedom. Playing freely helps them learn to be independent (独立的). Parents can give them more space. They don’t have to watch them all the time. But teenagers should know all the details (细节) about the activities before they go to play. Then they can talk with their parents and decide together if they can go out to play by themselves. In my view, both teenagers’ freedom and parents’ supervision are important. They need free time, and they also need parents’ proper (恰当的) supervision. 1．Lin Tao supports his own idea by ________. A．giving examples B．raising questions C．comparing facts D．listing numbers 2．What does the underlined word “restrain” probably mean? A．Hurt. B．Control. C．Protect. D．Encourage. 3．According to the text, which of the following may Mr. Ma support? A．He Kai’s parents are around every time he plays with his friends. B．Feng Zhongfan’s parents never ask him about whom he plays with. C．Liu Xiang will join in the activities without knowing anything about them. D．Xie Hao told his parents where to go and whom to play with before playtime. 4．What’s the main idea of the text? A．Teenagers need free time to be independent. B．Parents should keep an eye on their children all the time. C．Teenagers can’t play LARP without parents’ supervision. D．Teenagers need both freedom and parents’ proper supervision. 【答案】1．A 2．B 3．D 4．D 【导语】本文围绕青少年空闲时间是否需要家长监管展开讨论。 1．细节理解题。根据“Last time I played with my parents nearby, I had a knot in my stomach and was unable to have a really good time ... My friend Chen Xiaoxin has the same kind of experiences ...”可知，用自己和朋友的例子。故选A。 2．词句猜测题。根据“People often say I like to restrain my child, but that’s not true. I’m just worried he might get into trouble.”可知，王敏说别人觉得她“restrain”孩子，实际是担心孩子遇到麻烦，想监管，由此可推测含义为约束管控。control“控制”与之含义相近。故选B。 3．细节理解题。根据“Mr. Ma ... says ... teenagers should know all the details (细节) about the activities before they go to play. Then they can talk with their parents and decide together ...”可知，青少年玩前要了解活动细节，和家长沟通决定。D选项“谢浩玩前告诉父母地点和玩伴”符合题意。故选D。 4．主旨大意题。根据“In my view, both teenagers’ freedom and parents’ proper (恰当的) supervision are important.”可知，文章旨在说明青少年自由和家长恰当监管都重要。故选D。 If you are a student who enjoys playing video games, will it be likely that you have had at least one argument with your parents about the impacts (影响)of gaming? Your parents might say that video games are bad for you because they can worsen your eyes, lower your school performance and can lead to some health problems. You probably argue that video games allow you to socialize with your friends, improve your memory and so on. One study of Honor of Kings showed that 90 percent of the parents said their kids didn’t like talking and got angry easily because of the game. On the other hand, a study made by Cheryl Olson, writer of the book Grand Theft Childhood, interviewed 1,000 public school students and found that video games can help kids develop problem-solving skills and inspire creativity. What’s more, ____▲____because some games teach things like history, geography or culture. So should students play video games or not? I think students and parents can both win this argument. Most of the bad impacts of video games happen when students play for too long, so play them in moderation (适度). Here’s how to do that. First, take a rest from your gaming to help around the house or get some fresh air. Second, try to find video games that are both fun and educational. Third, there are also many games that get you up out of your seat. Play games like Fruit Slasher to improve your health. Finally, find some games that you can play with your parents, and you just might find they may have more fun than you! What do you think? Is the good enough to outweigh the bad things? 1．Why is the study of Honor of Kings mentioned? A．To show some parents are angry. B．To show Honor of Kings is popular. C．To show students love gaming a lot. D．To show gaming brings some bad things. 2．Which of the following sentences can be best put in ________? A．they can be highly relaxing B．they can be highly educational C．they can help you communicate D．they can help you solve problems 3．Which sentence shows the writer’s opinion on gaming? A．The writer thinks students should spend proper time on gaming. B．The writer thinks parents should stop their children from gaming. C．The writer thinks students should do housework instead of gaming. D．The writer thinks parents should learn to have fun by playing games 4．What advice is mentioned on gaming in Paragraph 4?     a. Find some smart video games to play.    b. Finish homework before gaming.     c. Choose games that can help move your body.    d. Invite your parents to play games together. A．abc B．abd C．acd D．bcd 【答案】1．D 2．B 3．A 4．C 【导语】本文是一篇议论文，通过展示各方声音探讨了电子游戏的利与弊，并就如何健康游戏给出了建议。 1．推理判断题。根据“One study of Honor of Kings showed that 90 percent of the parents said their kids didn’t like talking and got angry easily because of the game. ”可知，90%的家长表示，他们的孩子因为这款游戏而变得不爱说话，而且容易发脾气，这是为了表达游戏也会带来一些负面影响，故选D。 2．推理判断题。根据“video games can help kids develop problem-solving skills and inspire creativity.”及“because some games teach things like history, geography or culture.”可知，此处应说明游戏带来的好处，空格后讲述“可以教孩子们东西”，此处所说的好处与教育有关，B选项“它们具有很高的教育意义”符合，故选B。 3．推理判断题。根据“Most of the bad impacts of video games happen when students play for too long, so play them in moderation”可知，作者认为大多数电子游戏带来的不良影响都出现在学生长时间玩游戏的情况下，所以要适度地玩电子游戏，故选A。 4．细节理解题。根据“First, take a rest from your gaming to help around the house or get some fresh air. Second, try to find video games that are both fun and educational. Third, there are also many games that get you up out of your seat.”及“Finally, find some games that you can play with your parents…”可知，第四段提到的建议有：a—找一些益智的电子游戏来玩；c—选择那些能帮助你锻炼身体的游戏；d—邀请你的父母一起玩游戏，故选C。 “I have something important to read to you!” Ava told her parents. “In school, we’ve been working on persuasive essays (议论文). My teacher said that in order to make people accept your idea, you have to have reasons and evidence (证据). My essay is called Why I Am Responsible and Ready for a Cell Phone.” It had been a problem for months. Ava’s parents told her she couldn’t have a cell phone until she was thirteen. “A cell phone isn’t all fun and games,” they would say. “And, it is too big a responsibility for you to have one right now.” But then, a week ago, Ava started working on writing persuasive essays at school. It was like lightning had gone off in Ava’s brain. She’d worked on her essay for a week, coming up with all the reasons why she should have a cell phone. She even looked up some facts to help as supporting evidence. Forty percent (百分比) of children in her age group have been introduced to cell phones. Fifty-three percent of parents in the country think it’s acceptable for a child to own a cell phone at her age. “Well, Ava, that does make sense,” her dad said. “We’ll talk it over.” Ava wanted to jump up and down. But she was trying to show she was mature (成熟的) enough for a cell phone. So, she just smiled, nodded, and waited. After a full week, her mom said, “Alright Ava, we are impressed by how much work you put into that essay and how mature you have become. So, you can have a cell phone.” “Really?” Ava cried out. She couldn’t wait to show her friends and join their chat group. She spent a good hour that first night texting with them, discussing their weekend plan. On the weekend, Ava went to see a movie with her friends. It was not until Ava got home that she realized something was seriously wrong. Her phone was gone. “Did you talk to the theater manager? Maybe someone turned it in!” her mom said. Ava breathed in. “I didn’t…” In the end, her parents drove her back to the theater. Luckily, the phone was in the lost-and-found box. Ava thought that maybe she wasn’t ready to have a phone just yet. 1．Why did Ava tell her parents about her essay? A．To share her schoolwork achievements. B．To persuade them to give her a phone. C．To prove her writing skills. D．To discuss responsibility. 2．Why didn’t Ava’s parents allow her to have a cell phone at first? A．They thought she wasn’t ready for the responsibility. B．They wanted her to focus only on schoolwork. C．They believed phones were too expensive. D．They felt phones were harmful to health. 3．How did Ava react when her parents said “we’ll talk it over”? A．She argued angrily. B．She cried excitedly. C．She smiled calmly. D．She left immediately. 4．Which is the best title for this passage? A．Two Sides of the Same Coin B．One without the Other C．How Persuasion Works D．When Parents Listen 【答案】1．B 2．A 3．C 4．B 【导语】本文主要介绍了Ava写议论文说服父母得到手机，却因弄丢手机反思自己或许还没准备好拥有手机的故事。 1．细节理解题。根据文章内容，Ava一直希望能有一部手机，而她写的议论文《Why I Am Responsible and Ready for a Cell Phone》就是为了用理由和证据来说服父母，让他们同意给自己买手机，并非单纯分享学业成果、证明写作技巧或讨论责任本身。故选B。 2．细节理解题。根据“A cell phone isn’t all fun and games,” they would say. “And, it is too big a responsibility for you to have one right now.”可知，父母最初不让Ava有手机是觉得她还没准备好承担这份责任，文中没有提到希望她只专注学业、认为手机太贵或对健康有害这些原因。故选A。 3．细节理解题。根据“Ava wanted to jump up and down. But she was trying to show she was mature enough for a cell phone. So, she just smiled, nodded, and waited.”可知，当父母说要再商量时，Ava为了表现成熟，平静地微笑、点头并等待，并非生气争论、激动哭泣或立刻离开。故选C。 4．主旨大意题。Ava通过论文成功地证明了她在“道理上”已经成熟（拥有说服的能力和逻辑），并因此获得了手机。然而，她随后丢失手机的行为，却在“行动上”证明了她在实际责任感上的欠缺。One without the Other“缺一不可”完美地概括了故事的核心矛盾与主题。故选B。 Most kids feel excited and proud to become junior high school students. But for Ge Shuai, a junior 1 student in Yangzhou, the happiness of growing up also comes with pain(痛苦). He and his best friend are now in different classes. Ge is not the only kid who feels this growing pain. To save the children from being lonely when friends are away, there are new rules in many schools in London to stop students from having a single best friend. Teachers encourage them to play in large groups. Having only one best friend has some problems. If you have a best friend, you may not go out with other people who could become your friends one day. You may not have a chance to meet other people because you and your best friend are always together. It can make your world very small. However, Gaynor Sbuttoni, a doctor in London, doesn’t think the no-best-friend policy is a good idea. She thinks it is natural(正常的) for children to want a best friend and that schools should not stop their friendships. “If they break up, they have to feel the pain because then they’re learning to do with it. As parents, we’re all trying to stop our children feeling pain, but what we should be doing is helping them face it and find ways to work it out, rather than trying to take it away.” she said. 1．What do we know about Ge Shuai? A．Ge is a Grade 2 student in a junior high school. B．Ge is the only kid who feels this growing pain. C．Ge and his best friend are not in the same class now. D．Ge is unhappy because he doesn’t have a best friend. 2．What does the underlined word “It” refer to in the third paragraph? A．Having only one best friend. B．Going out with other people. C．Making friends with new people. D．Having a chance to meet other people. 3．According to the passage, what does Gaynor think parents can do? A．They can stop their children from feeling pain. B．They can tell their children to play in large groups. C．They can tell their children not to have a best friend. D．They can help their children face the pain and find ways. 4．What is the passage about? A．Happiness. B．Growing up. C．Parents’ love. D．Hard work. 【答案】1．C 2．A 3．D 4．B 【导语】本文主要讲述了孩子们在成长过程中除了快乐也伴随着痛苦，以葛树嗨为例，介绍了他所遇到的问题以及人们的不同观点。 1．细节理解题。根据“He and his best friend are now in different classes”可知，他和他最好的朋友现在不在同一个班，故选C。 2．词义猜测题。根据“Having only one best friend has some problems…You may not have a chance to meet other people because you and your best friend are always together. It can make your world very small”可知，只有一个最好的朋友的问题在于没有机会认识其他人，会让你的世界变得很小，所以it指代“Having only one best friend”，故选A。 3．细节理解题。根据“As parents, we’re all trying to stop our children feeling pain, but what we should be doing is helping them face it and find ways to work it out, rather than trying to take it away”可知，应该做的是帮助他们面对痛苦，找到解决的方法，而不是试图把痛苦带走，故选D。 4．主旨大意题。通读全文可知，本文主要讲述了孩子们在成长过程中遇到的问题，故选B。 2 同步新教材，周周有练习，月月有重点！ 1 同步新教材，周周有练习，月月有重点！ 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 2025-2026学年一线教师制作新教材英语同步精品系列资料，名师遴选！ 2025-2026学年一线教师制作新教材英语同步精品系列资料，名师遴选！ 学校:___________姓名：___________班级：___________考号：___________ Unit 2 Growing pains and gains 单元话题（烦恼与收获）阅读理解进阶练15篇 说明：此专题分三个难度层次，基础入门训练<进阶拓展训练< 能力综合实践，老师根据学生实际情况进行针对性难度训练。 基础入门训练5篇 Arguments between kids and parents can be a big problem and we should care about them.

Some changes can be good things, like joining a club or making a new friend. However, some changes could make you feel worried or uncertain(不确定的). They can be big things, like changing schools or losing a friend. They can be small ones, like changes in parents’ work hours or a new teacher taking over your class. All of these things can bring up some pretty big feelings and that’s OK. Change can be hard to deal with because it often brings feelings of uncertainty. Emily Hanlon is a child psychologist (心理学家). She explains, “Our brains love daily plans and usual habits. They make us feel safe. When something changes, it can feel like going on a surprise trip without a map. This can make us feel nervous or worried because we don’t know what to expect.” Change can also be hard if you don’t feel quite ready for it or that you are not in control of whatever is happening. Can change be a good thing? Yes, life will be pretty boring if everything stays the same all the time. Trying new things and making changes help you find out what you like and don’t like. For example, if you didn’t try that new kind of ice cream, how would you know you love it? They also help you to grow and learn skills. Hanlon says, “Although change can make you feel scared, it often leads to new trips, new friends, and confidence.” 1．Which of the following is a“big change” according to Paragraph 1? A．Studying in a new school. B．Making some new friends. C．Trying a new kind of ice cream. D．Parents’ new working time. 2．Why is change hard to deal with? A．Because it always makes us feel bored. B．Because it stops us from making new friends. C．Because our brains dislike daily habits and plans. D．Because it makes people feel uncertain and worried. 3．What does the example of “trying new ice cream” in Paragraph 3 try to show? A．How changes help us learn new skills. B．How we can keep healthy eating habits. C．How we can try new things and make changes. D．How changes help us find out what we like and dislike. 4．What is the passage mainly about? A．It’s easier to keep daily habits than try new things. B．People should always welcome changes without worry. C．Though changes can be hard, they can also help us grow. D．Some changes are bad and people should try to stop them. These days, many students are facing some common problems. Some students feel that their parents don’t allow them to use mobile phones or play computer games. They often argue with their parents about this. Also, some students find it hard to get on with their classmates. They may have fights or misunderstandings, and then they can’t continue their friendship. In my opinion, these problems can be solved. First, you should communicate more with your parents. Tell them your feelings and why you need some free time to relax. Your parents will understand you better. Second, if you have problems with your classmates, try to talk to them calmly. Listen to their opinions and explain yours. Don’t be angry easily. Everyone should learn to respect others. I believe if students follow these suggestions, they can get along with their parents and classmates, and have a happier school life. 1．What does the writer think students should do first when having problems with parents? A．Leave home. B．Argue with them. C．Talk with friends. D．Communicate more. 2．The underlined word “calmly” means ________ in Chinese. A．激动地 B．冷静地 C．生气地 D．悲伤地 3．Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage? A．Parents never understand their children. B．Communication is important for solving problems. C．Students often have problems with their parents and classmates. D．Students should respect others when getting on with classmates. 4．What’s the main idea of the passage? A．Students’ problems and some advice. B．How to get on with classmates. C．Why students argue with parents. D．Students’ daily life. ①There is a famous expression in English “Stop the world, I want to get off!” This expression is actually about a feeling of stress, which makes a person want to stop whatever they are doing. Why not try to relax? “Stress” means pressure. It is one of the most common causes of health problems in modern life. Too much stress results in physical, emotional, and mental health problems. ②There are plenty of physical effects of stress. Stress can affect the heart. It can make the heart beat faster or miss beats, and can also cause high blood pressure. Stress can cause a person to breathe too fast and can also result in stomach hurts and digesting (消化) problems. These are a few examples of illnesses resulting from stress. ③Emotions are also easily affected by stress. People who have too much stress often feel worried and tired. When people are under stress, they often overreact (反应过度) to little problems. For example, a normally gentle parent under a lot of stress at work may shout at a child for dropping a glass of juice. Stress can make people angry or nervous easily. ④Long-term stress can lead to different kinds of serious mental illnesses. Depression (抑郁), a terrible feeling of sadness and hopelessness, can be the result of continued and increasing stress. Being unable to sleep well are sometimes caused by stress and are often made worse by stress. If stress continues, then one’s mental health is at risk. ⑤It is clear that stress is a serious problem. It has a great influence on the health and our feeling. So, cut down stress, stop the world and rest for a while. 1．How might people feel when they say “Stop the world, I want to get off!”? A．Excited. B．Happy. C．Relaxed. D．Upset. 2．Which of the following physical effects are caused by stress? ①fast heartbeat    ②being worried    ③stomachache    ④feeling hopeless A．①② B．③④ C．①③ D．②④ 3．Why is depression mentioned in the fourth paragraph? A．To give an example of the result of long-term stress. B．To explain the effects of depression. C．To tell us the worst effect of stress. D．To show the writer’s opinion on emotions. 4．Which is the best structure of the passage? A．①②/③④/⑤ B．①/②③/④⑤ C．①/②③④/⑤ D．①/②/③④/⑤ 阅读下面短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。 Peer pressure is a common experience for many teens. It means doing something just because you don’t want to be left out by your friends. Sometimes it can be good—like encouraging you to study harder or join a sports club. But often, it makes you feel bad for being different from others. Colin, a middle school student, knows this well. His hobby is knitting (编织), which many of his classmates think is “unusual”. Some even laugh at him, and not all his friends accept his hobby. Most of his friends prefer activities like playing soccer or spending time on screens. Colin feels lonely and wonders if he should give up knitting to fit in. Hannah, who helps teens with problems, shares a story about her friend. He has loved dancing ballet since he was a kid. At school, other kids made fun of him for his hobby. But he didn’t give up. He kept practicing hard, and now he is very successful. Surprisingly, he is thankful to those kids—their jokes pushed him to work harder. Hannah’s advice for Colin and other teens is simple: Don’t let peer pressure control you. Be proud of who you are and your hobbies. Try sharing your hobby with friends—they might understand you better. Remember, being different is not a bad thing; it’s what makes you special. 1．What is Colin’s hobby that his classmates don’t accept? A．Knitting. B．Playing soccer. C．Reading books. D．Playing video games. 2．What happened to Hannah’s friend in the end? A．He gave up ballet to fit in. B．He became a successful ballet dancer. C．He fought with the kids who laughed at him. D．He changed his hobby to sports. 3．Why was Hannah’s friend thankful to the kids who made fun of him? A．They helped him learn ballet better. B．He used their jokes as motivation (动力) to practice harder. C．They later became his biggest fans. D．He wanted to show he was kind. 4．Which of the following is the best title for the passage? A．Colin’s Unusual Hobby B．How to Make More Friends C．Be Yourself: How to Deal with Peer Pressure D．Hannah’s Great Advice on Studying 进阶拓展训练5篇 Johnson arrived at Mount Aconcagua, the highest mountain in the Argentine Andes. He began his climb to achieve his dream after years of preparation. But he went up alone. He started climbing and it was becoming later and later. He did not prepare for camping, so he had to keep on climbing. Soon night fell and Johnson could not see anything. Everything was black. There was no moon, and the stars were covered by clouds. As he was climbing only about 10 feet away from the top, he fell. He could only see darkness passing at a great speed. He kept falling...He thought certainly he would die. But then Johnson felt the long rope tied (系住) to his hand pull very hard. His body was hanging in the air. He had no other choice but to shout, “Help me! Help me!” Suddenly he heard a deep voice, “What do you want me to do?” “Save me!” “Do you really think that I can save you?” “Of course.” “Then cut the rope that is holding you up.” However, Johnson just held tighter (更紧地) to the rope.

I missed and worried about him so much that I started sending him messages on the phone, mainly to say hello or to give him a word of warning. One of my messages said, “So you told me you lost your wallet. If you are always careless, one day you’ll wake up and find yourself lost.” I did get Eric’s messages, but most of them were about money. I was a bit angry. They were not different from the notes he used to leave on the whiteboard when he was at home. “I bought a new pair of shoes. They cost me $90. Please help!” “Money is running short because I’ve bought some books for my research paper. Help me, please!” Recently, however, Eric begins to send me all kinds of articles. Some are funny, some are touching and some make me think. He knows I haven’t got many things to do in my free time. He says they will help me understand young men better and keep up with the times. I read the articles slowly, like a careful student, with mixed feelings as well—my kid, who followed me around not long ago, has now become my teacher! So I write back, “I’ve read all those articles. I’ll take them as a loving son’s hopes towards his mother. He must be thinking that his mother is still young enough to accept new things. That makes me feel proud. We parents can’t learn quickly and change in both body and mind. Thank you, my son.” In this way we share ideas, with a gentle and beautiful language we seldom use. Every time I read those messages, I feel warm. 1．Why did the writer keep sending messages to Eric? A．To ask Eric to return home soon. B．Because Eric needed her advice every day.

A．①②③ B．②③④ C．①②④ D．①③④ 4．How does the writer’s feeling change? A．Proud → angry → worried. B．Proud → worried → angry. C．Angry → worried → proud. D．Worried → angry → proud. 5．Which part of a magazine may the article come from? A．Life. B．Health. C．Sports. D．Food.

The HALT method (方法) is a good reminder to explore your feelings and look after yourself. HALT means stop and it also stands for Hungry, Angry, Lonely, Tired. You can find out what’s causing you trouble by asking yourself questions like “Am I hungry/angry/lonely/tired?” Here is some feedback (反馈意见) from our friends using the HALT method. Anita, 14 years old With the help of the method, I notice I get angry or impatient when I feel uncomfortable, for example, seeing someone being treated unfairly or feeling physically tired. To help myself, I push my stress ball and write down how I feel. This helps me understand why I’m feeling this way. Thomas, 15 years old Dr Suzy Reading taught me to try the HALT method every time I felt down. She also advised me to talk to people I trusted about how I felt. And now I understand it is OK to feel lonely, down or worried. And thinking too much makes me tired. Doing things like listening to music, exercising or making creative artwork can truly help me feel better. I suggest you have a try. 1．When can you ask Dr Suzy Reading for advice?

Sally is a teenager who wants to be a great dancer. But her parents want her to be a doctor. She wants to follow her parents’ wishes, but she also wants to follow her heart. Being a teenager is hard. You feel old enough to make your own decisions, but your parents always think that they know what’s best for you. So, how can Sally solve her problem? First, teenagers can try to look at things from their parents’ side. 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 go through lots of things. So, we can reasonably trust them. After all, they control us because they love us. But let’s also look at things through a teenager’s eyes. Many teenagers feel like they can take on more responsibilities (责任). We shouldn’t just accept our parents’ choices or fight with them. We should try sharing our feelings with our parents. Sharing feelings with our parents can help make good changes, while not sharing with them can cause misunderstandings (误解). So, if you feel that your parents’ decision is not fair, you should sit down with your parents and talk about it. By sharing your feelings and coming up with a good reason, you may change their minds. Their trust in you will also grow. When you grow up, you can make your own decisions. 1．Why is it difficult to be a teenager? A．Because teenagers may make wrong decisions. B．Because there is much homework for teenagers to do. C．Because teenagers and their parents often have different ideas. D．Because teenagers have too many rules to follow. 2．What does the underlined word “reasonably” in Paragraph 4 mean? A．Wisely. B．Slowly. C．Proudly. D．Heavily. 3．How does the writer solve Sally’s problem? A．By discussing with Sally. B．By giving some examples. C．By giving some suggestions. D．By answering Sally’s questions. 4．Which would be the best title for the text? A．How Teenagers Solve Parent-Teen Problems B．Sally’s Dream of Being a Great Dancer C．Teenagers Should Share Feelings with Parents D．Parents Should Support Their Children 能力综合实践5篇 The National Report on Vision (视力)  says the population of Chinese with short-sightedness (近视) has reached 600 million, and about 70% of the teenagers (aged from 13 to 19) are short-sighted. China Daily reported more serious vision problems in China. In the report, 80% senior high school students are short-sighted, followed by 71% in junior high school, 36% in primary school and 14% of 6-year-olds. The shocking numbers are still rising these days. What causes this eyesight problem? Besides family history, there are some other reasons, such as not having enough outdoor activities, being short of enough sleep and too much use of electronic products. However, many young people don’t take short-sightedness seriously before they are short-sighted. They think it’s easy to solve the problem with the help of glasses, or eye operations (手术). And some of them even think that it is cool to wear glasses. When they became short-sighted, spent a lot of money on glasses, and felt uncomfortable after operations, they would regret for not caring about their eyes. Here’s one of the best ways to protect your eyes. Research shows people with more outdoor activities have better visions. Being outdoor not only gives your eyes enough light, but also helps you relax your eyes. And you should use less electronic products like smartphones and TV. Let’s try our best to take care of the windows of our hearts—eyes. 1．Which can best show the short-sighted problem of students? (rate: 比率) A． B． C． D． 2．What does the underlined word “shocking” in Paragraph 2 mean? A．Surprising. B．Exciting. C．Interesting. D．Developing. 3．What are the reasons for short-sightedness? ①family history    ②wearing glasses every day    ③being short of sleep ④not having enough outdoor activities    ⑤too much use of electronic products A．②③④⑤ B．①③④⑤ C．①②④⑤ D．①②③④ 4．What can we know according to Paragraph 3? A．All people think short-sightedness is a serious problem. B．Glasses and eye operations are useless. C．Many people don’t treat it as a problem before they are short-sighted. D．There are only one way to protect your eyes. 5．What’s the purpose of the passage? A．Call on people to take good care of their eyesight. B．Explain the possible reasons for short-sightedness. C．Introduce World Report on Vision to readers. D．Compare the short-sighted problems in different countries. Free time is a great chance for teenagers to have fun. But what about free time when parents are around? Some teenagers want to play freely without parents watching over them, while parents and experts might think differently. Lin Tao, a middle school student, believes teenagers should be able to play freely. “Last time I played with my parents nearby, I had a knot in my stomach and was unable to have a really good time,” Lin says. “My friend Chen Xiaoxin has the same kind of experiences. Once, he went out to play with his classmates, and everyone felt uncomfortable because his mother was watching.” Wang Min, Lin Tao’s mother, thinks playtime needs parents’ supervision (监督). She says, “People often say I like to restrain my child, but that’s not true. I’m just worried he might get into trouble. Some kids might have a bad effect on him, and some games like LARP (剧本杀) might lead him the wrong way. He could even lose himself into the stories and have a hard time getting back to real life.” Mr. Ma, a social studies doctor, says it’s easy to understand that teenagers want freedom. Playing freely helps them learn to be independent (独立的). Parents can give them more space. They don’t have to watch them all the time. But teenagers should know all the details (细节) about the activities before they go to play. Then they can talk with their parents and decide together if they can go out to play by themselves. In my view, both teenagers’ freedom and parents’ supervision are important. They need free time, and they also need parents’ proper (恰当的) supervision. 1．Lin Tao supports his own idea by ________. A．giving examples B．raising questions C．comparing facts D．listing numbers 2．What does the underlined word “restrain” probably mean? A．Hurt. B．Control. C．Protect. D．Encourage. 3．According to the text, which of the following may Mr. Ma support? A．He Kai’s parents are around every time he plays with his friends. B．Feng Zhongfan’s parents never ask him about whom he plays with. C．Liu Xiang will join in the activities without knowing anything about them. D．Xie Hao told his parents where to go and whom to play with before playtime. 4．What’s the main idea of the text? A．Teenagers need free time to be independent. B．Parents should keep an eye on their children all the time. C．Teenagers can’t play LARP without parents’ supervision. D．Teenagers need both freedom and parents’ proper supervision. If you are a student who enjoys playing video games, will it be likely that you have had at least one argument with your parents about the impacts (影响)of gaming? Your parents might say that video games are bad for you because they can worsen your eyes, lower your school performance and can lead to some health problems. You probably argue that video games allow you to socialize with your friends, improve your memory and so on. One study of Honor of Kings showed that 90 percent of the parents said their kids didn’t like talking and got angry easily because of the game. On the other hand, a study made by Cheryl Olson, writer of the book Grand Theft Childhood, interviewed 1,000 public school students and found that video games can help kids develop problem-solving skills and inspire creativity. What’s more, ____▲____because some games teach things like history, geography or culture. So should students play video games or not? I think students and parents can both win this argument. Most of the bad impacts of video games happen when students play for too long, so play them in moderation (适度). Here’s how to do that. First, take a rest from your gaming to help around the house or get some fresh air. Second, try to find video games that are both fun and educational. Third, there are also many games that get you up out of your seat. Play games like Fruit Slasher to improve your health. Finally, find some games that you can play with your parents, and you just might find they may have more fun than you! What do you think? Is the good enough to outweigh the bad things? 1．Why is the study of Honor of Kings mentioned? A．To show some parents are angry. B．To show Honor of Kings is popular. C．To show students love gaming a lot. D．To show gaming brings some bad things. 2．Which of the following sentences can be best put in ________? A．they can be highly relaxing B．they can be highly educational C．they can help you communicate D．they can help you solve problems 3．Which sentence shows the writer’s opinion on gaming? A．The writer thinks students should spend proper time on gaming. B．The writer thinks parents should stop their children from gaming. C．The writer thinks students should do housework instead of gaming. D．The writer thinks parents should learn to have fun by playing games 4．What advice is mentioned on gaming in Paragraph 4?     a. Find some smart video games to play.    b. Finish homework before gaming.     c. Choose games that can help move your body.    d. Invite your parents to play games together. A．abc B．abd C．acd D．bcd “I have something important to read to you!” Ava told her parents. “In school, we’ve been working on persuasive essays (议论文). My teacher said that in order to make people accept your idea, you have to have reasons and evidence (证据). My essay is called Why I Am Responsible and Ready for a Cell Phone.” It had been a problem for months. Ava’s parents told her she couldn’t have a cell phone until she was thirteen. “A cell phone isn’t all fun and games,” they would say. “And, it is too big a responsibility for you to have one right now.” But then, a week ago, Ava started working on writing persuasive essays at school. It was like lightning had gone off in Ava’s brain. She’d worked on her essay for a week, coming up with all the reasons why she should have a cell phone. She even looked up some facts to help as supporting evidence. Forty percent (百分比) of children in her age group have been introduced to cell phones. Fifty-three percent of parents in the country think it’s acceptable for a child to own a cell phone at her age. “Well, Ava, that does make sense,” her dad said. “We’ll talk it over.” Ava wanted to jump up and down. But she was trying to show she was mature (成熟的) enough for a cell phone. So, she just smiled, nodded, and waited. After a full week, her mom said, “Alright Ava, we are impressed by how much work you put into that essay and how mature you have become. So, you can have a cell phone.” “Really?” Ava cried out. She couldn’t wait to show her friends and join their chat group. She spent a good hour that first night texting with them, discussing their weekend plan. On the weekend, Ava went to see a movie with her friends. It was not until Ava got home that she realized something was seriously wrong. Her phone was gone. “Did you talk to the theater manager? Maybe someone turned it in!” her mom said. Ava breathed in. “I didn’t…” In the end, her parents drove her back to the theater. Luckily, the phone was in the lost-and-found box. Ava thought that maybe she wasn’t ready to have a phone just yet. 1．Why did Ava tell her parents about her essay? A．To share her schoolwork achievements. B．To persuade them to give her a phone. C．To prove her writing skills. D．To discuss responsibility. 2．Why didn’t Ava’s parents allow her to have a cell phone at first? A．They thought she wasn’t ready for the responsibility. B．They wanted her to focus only on schoolwork. C．They believed phones were too expensive. D．They felt phones were harmful to health. 3．How did Ava react when her parents said “we’ll talk it over”? A．She argued angrily. B．She cried excitedly. C．She smiled calmly. D．She left immediately. 4．Which is the best title for this passage? A．Two Sides of the Same Coin B．One without the Other C．How Persuasion Works D．When Parents Listen Most kids feel excited and proud to become junior high school students. But for Ge Shuai, a junior 1 student in Yangzhou, the happiness of growing up also comes with pain(痛苦). He and his best friend are now in different classes. Ge is not the only kid who feels this growing pain. To save the children from being lonely when friends are away, there are new rules in many schools in London to stop students from having a single best friend. Teachers encourage them to play in large groups. Having only one best friend has some problems. If you have a best friend, you may not go out with other people who could become your friends one day. You may not have a chance to meet other people because you and your best friend are always together. It can make your world very small. However, Gaynor Sbuttoni, a doctor in London, doesn’t think the no-best-friend policy is a good idea. She thinks it is natural(正常的) for children to want a best friend and that schools should not stop their friendships. “If they break up, they have to feel the pain because then they’re learning to do with it. As parents, we’re all trying to stop our children feeling pain, but what we should be doing is helping them face it and find ways to work it out, rather than trying to take it away.” she said. 1．What do we know about Ge Shuai? A．Ge is a Grade 2 student in a junior high school. B．Ge is the only kid who feels this growing pain. C．Ge and his best friend are not in the same class now. D．Ge is unhappy because he doesn’t have a best friend. 2．What does the underlined word “It” refer to in the third paragraph? A．Having only one best friend. B．Going out with other people. C．Making friends with new people. D．Having a chance to meet other people. 3．According to the passage, what does Gaynor think parents can do? A．They can stop their children from feeling pain. B．They can tell their children to play in large groups. C．They can tell their children not to have a best friend. D．They can help their children face the pain and find ways. 4．What is the passage about? A．Happiness. B．Growing up. C．Parents’ love. D．Hard work. 2 同步新教材，周周有练习，月月有重点！ 1 同步新教材，周周有练习，月月有重点！ 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
