Scientists have known that close friendships do good to health.That’s true for both teens and adults.The finding inspired Joseph Allen,a psychologist at the University of Virginia,and his team to study whether experiences during teen years would influence adult health. So they followed 171 teens,starting when the kids were just 13.They interviewed each one every year for five years,and also spoke to these teens’ closest friends,who provided additional information about the quality of their friendships.The same 171 people were interviewed again at ages 25,26 and 27.This time,the questions surveyed each person’s overall health.When the researchers analyzed the data,they found a strong connection between a teen’s behavior and adult health.Teens who had close friends grew up to be healthier adults.Whether teens held back their feelings or expressed them to a close friend also influenced later health.Those who held back were more likely to be sick as adults.The connection held up even after the scientists accounted for other possible influences on health.Weight,family income and drug use were all examined.So were mental health issues,such as anxiety and depression.And in these people,such other factors did not explain adult health as well as teen friendships did. Going along with the crowd may have benefits,says Allen,but there are also drawbacks.Teens who are more independent tend to do better at school and work.And peer pressure may lead to some kids’ risky behavior,such as smoking,drinking or using drugs.Dealing with it is an ongoing challenge,Allen acknowledges.“Finding the right balance is the key.Teens shouldn’t lose heart for not finding this easy.” And,he adds,“Parents need to be understanding about the pressures teens face.” 1.Which column does the passage probably come from? A.Sports.　　　 B.Health. C.Fashion. D.Entertainment. 2.Which of the following is the closest to the underlined word “drawbacks”? A.Challenges. B.Mistakes. C.Influences. D.Disadvantages. 3.What can we learn according to what Allen said? A.In order to do better at school,teens should not follow the crowd. B.Teens who take up smoking,drinking or using drugs face peer pressure. C.Despite the challenges in peer pressure,teens should not give up. D.Parents should understand their teens and stop them going with friends. 4.What is the main idea of the passage? A.It is not easy to get along with peers. B.Teen friendships may make healthier adults. C.It is important to deal with teens’ pressure. D.Adults should pay attention to teens’ health. B “It’s incredible.I never thought my dream would come true so soon,” Chinese ballet dancer Chun Wai Chan recalled the scene when he got the news in May that he was promoted to the principal dancer with New York City Ballet (NYCB),the company’s first Chinese and fourth Asian principal dancer in 74 years. Born in Huizhou City,South China’s Guangdong Province in 1992,Chan has become attached to dance since childhood.However,his parents preferred him to be a doctor or a lawyer in the future.The uncompromising boy then wrote a seven-page letter to his parents describing his determination to study dance. Thanks to the sincere letter,Chan finally gained the support of his family,and at the age of 12,he was admitted to Guangzhou Arts School,marking the start of his dream-seeking journey.Chan’s first turning point in life came at the age of 18,when he was a finalist in the 2010 Prix de Lausanne,which earned him a full scholarship to study with Houston Ballet’s second company,Houston Ballet Ⅱ.Two years later,Chan joined Houston Ballet and became a principal in 2017.There,he gained a reputation as a confident and sensitive performer.In 2020,he appeared as a contestant on the Chinese television show Dance Smash on Hunan Satellite TV,which gained him a large following. Chan returned to New York last year,and was finally promoted to the principal dancer with the NYCB in May this year.He attributes his success to his passion,hard work, concentration,perseverance and the pursuit of excellence. In China,Chan’s success has become a source of pride.News of his promotion to the principal dancer was widely circulated,and he has been featured repeatedly in the Chinese media,under headlines like “The Ballet Knight” and “After Dance Smash,he conquered New York.” After performances,audience members sometimes tell Chan that they have never seen Asian dancers in leading roles.He has been moved to hear young dancers say his example has given them hope for their own careers.“I used to think I danced just for myself,” he said.“Now I’m dancing for my family,for the audience,and for the whole dance community.” 5.What can we learn about Chan? A.He is the first Asian principal dancer. B.He is fond of dancing when he was young. C.His parents have supported him from the beginning. D.He gained the popularity in the 2010 Prix de Lausanne. 6.What does the underlined word “uncompromising” in paragraph 2 mean? A.Fearless. B.Cautious. C.Thoughtful. D.Determined. 7.Which of the following can best describe Chan? A.Generous and considerate. B.Passionate and devoted. C.Warm-hearted and ambitious. D.Perseverant and talented. 8.Why did Chan change his opinion about the significance of dancing? A.Because he got a lot of praises from the audience. B.Because he had been promoted to the principal dancer. C.Because he realized his dance inspired other dancers. D.Because he received persistent support from his family. Ⅴ.七选五 With our lives becoming increasingly busy and stressful,it’s easy to forget to check in on our mental well-being and to neglect our emotional health needs.So cultivating “self-compassion” is very important.　1　  We’re humans,not machines,and can’t be completely together all the time.　2　 This helps us recognise the early warning signs that something is wrong like tearfulness and feeling overwhelmed.  We can then take action to improve our mental balance,which in turn can help us better cope with the challenges life throws at us. Doing just one small positive thing each day can make a big difference and be enough to restore a sense of balance.　3　 Or going for a walk in the fresh air and feeling the warmth of the sun.Or walking the dog.  Changing the way we tackle negative thinking also helps a lot.One technique is to stick to the facts about a particular situation rather than listening to negative thoughts and anxieties.So we can ask questions like:Is this true?　4　 Does this thinking benefit me or hinder me?Could I see it another way?  　5　 When we struggle to get to sleep,our minds can start to fill with anxious thoughts that make it even harder to doze off.Having a cool environment,not drinking caffeine past midday or banning mobile phones from the bedroom could be the changes you need.  A.How do you set up your day? B.Why am I seeing it like that? C.Being a big advocate for helping others. D.Having good-quality sleep can improve mental health. E.Here are small but important steps that can ease the burden. F.It might be simply like dancing around the house to expel nervous energy. G.But we can monitor our mood and emotions to know what our “normal” is and if it’s in need of a boost.

research suggests that teens who go along with their friends may end up healthier as adults.”和下文内容可知,本文主要介绍保持朋友关系对健康的影响。所以应该出现在健康专栏。故选B项。 2.D　词义猜测题。根据下文内容“Teens who are more independent tend to do better at school and work...drinking or using drugs.”并结合上文“Going along with the crowd may have benefits,says Allen”可知,随大流可能有好处,但也有缺点,比如吸烟、饮酒或吸毒,所以猜测drawbacks意为“缺点”。故选D项。 3.C　推理判断题。根据最后一段中“Going along with the crowd may have benefits,says Allen,but...such as smoking,drinking or using drugs.”可知,与周围的人友好相处使得人们在成年后更加健康的同时也会带来同伴压力。同伴压力会导致许多问题,如何应对同伴压力对于青少年来说成了一个挑战。分析Allen的话可知,青少年要应对同伴压力,找到正确的平衡是关键,青少年不能因为很难找到平衡就灰心丧气。故选C项。 4.B　主旨大意题。根据文章第一段的“But new research suggests that teens who go along with their friends may end up healthier as adults.”以及下文可知,本文主要介绍了青少年时期的朋友关系对健康的影响。研究表明,与朋友较少、没有朋友的青少年相比,有朋友的青少年在长大后更健康些,青少年之间的友谊可能会造就更健康的成年人。故选B项。 【语篇导读】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要说明了中国芭蕾舞演员陈镇威的个人经历和成就。

dance.”以及倒数第三段中“He attributes his success to his passion,hard work,concentration,perseverance and the pursuit of excellence.”可推知,陈镇威充满热情且专注投入。故选B项。 8.C　细节理解题。根据最后一段中“He has been moved to hear young

community.’”可知,陈镇威改变了他对舞蹈的重要性的看法,因为他意识到他的舞蹈启发了其他舞者。故选C项。 Ⅴ.【语篇导读】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了如何通过一些小事情来改善心理健康。 1.E　根据上文“With our lives becoming increasingly busy and stressful,it’s easy to forget to check in on

recognise the early warning signs...feeling overwhelmed.”可知,我们是人类,而不是机器,无法一直保持完美状态,因此在生活中容易出现一些“不正常”的状况,但我们可以对自己进行监控,识别一些早期预警。G项承接上文,指出我们可以监控情绪,知道自己“正常”状况是什么,因此进行提升,同时下文中的This指代选项中的we can monitor our mood and emotions,形成呼应,符合语境。故选G项。 3.F　根据下文的“Or going for a walk in the fresh air and feeling the warmth of the sun.Or walking the dog.”可知,通过生活中的一些积极小事如散步、感受阳光或者遛狗等,可以修复心理的平衡感;设空处内容应该与此构成并列。F项与下文构成并列,指出像在房子周围跳舞这样的小事同样可以修复内心的平衡感即调节自己,符合语境。故选F项。 4.B　根据上文“So we can ask questions like:Is this true?”以及下文的“Does this thinking benefit me
