His parents'worries are easy to understand.It is widely accepted that being alone is a symboi of being left out and can bring a lot of trouble.Most people believe teenagers who are usually alone do have few friends and are unable to fit in with other people.At the same time,they are at greater risk of having mental problems. 3However,a new study by some rescarchers at Wilmington College,shows.that this may not always be true.Whether it is bad for teenagers or not depends on the reasons why teenagers are alone.If it is their choice,it may play an active role in their personal growth. 4According to their study,when teenagers choose to think alone,they put 100%of their attention into what is in their mind and are more likely to experience deeper thoughts and feelings than working with others.They may have a greater chance to create something new.In this way they can better develop their creativity. 5On the other hand,the ongoing noise children's brains receive every day can put great stress on them and make it hard for them to focus.Being alone lets them shut themselves off from the noisy outside world and think about what's best for them.Slowly they improve their ability to focus. ⑥As a matter of fact,.our culture is always biased(有偏见的)against being alone.Maybe it is the right time for us to rethink about Peter's situation before we say what's happening to him. 26.Peter's parents worry about him so much because A.he spends most of his time in the dining hall B.he doesn't have enough time for his lunch at school C.he often sits alone to have his lunch in the dining hall D.he doesn't enjoy his meal at lunchtime in the dining hall 27.According to the study by the researchers,being alone A.is often a symbol of loneliness B.never causes mental problems C.always improves teenagers'focus D.may develop teenagers'creativity 28.Which of the following best shows the structure of the passage? 试卷第3页；共8页 3 A. ②中的 ③⑥ 29.What's the writer's opinion according to the passage? A.Peter spends most of his school time alone. B.Choosing to be alone is a symbol of being left out. C.Peter usually spends his time alone to improve his focus. D.More people will have a deeper understanding of being alone in the future. B One day in July when I was completely well again,I went exploring (on the lonely island.I walked along the coast until I got to a small river.Then I followed it across the island. The land on both sides of the river was very pleasant.It was flat and green and many different plants were growing there.I looked for things to eat,but I didn't find anything.The next day,I decided to go further.I was curious to see more of the green valley.I walked for many hours and finally I arrived in a place with many trees.I could see oranges and lemons on them.I also saw grapes and melons too. "The north side of the island is better than the south."I thought."There are lots of things to eat.The weather is better here too.I chose the bad side for my house." I didn't go home that night.I slept in a tree and continued exploring the next morning.Before I left that place,I filled my pockets with fruit. I must come back with bags and get some more,I thought."But I must hurry because the wet season starts in August." I made several more trips during the following weeks and took back as much fruit as I could. While I was there,I built a small tent to sleep in. It rained more or less every day between the middle of August and the middle of October and I had to stay inside.But when the weather changed,I often went to my country house.There were lots of small animals in the woods and turtles on the beach,so I was never without meat.I also discovered that turtle eggs were very good to eat too.I dried some of the meat in the sun and kept it for the wet season.I dried the grapes too.They were very good and I usually kept some in my pockets. One day when I was standing on the top of a hill,I saw land in the distance."Was it the mainland or an island?"I asked myself.Another day I caught a parrot with colourful feathers and took it home with me.I called it Poll and I taught it to speak.The first word it learnt to say was its name.Then I taught it to say"Robinson".That was my name.It was strange to hear another voice after so many months:Poll was very good company (and almost never left my side.But I couldn't wait to think about the home with my dad and mum sometimes. During the wet months I taught myself to make bowls for my food.Later I learnt how to make pots for cooking. -Adapted from Robinson Crusoe 30.Robinson must hurry.because A.the rainy season would come B.Robinson was going home on the island soon 试卷第4页，共8页 4 C.Robinson wanted to raise animals D.there was no placc for Robinson to sleep 31.Which of the following is True according to the passage?

D.Robinson wasn't able to do anything on the island. 32.How did Robinson feel while he was exploring on the island? A.Sad. B.Helpless C.Hopeful. D.Afraid. 33.What can we infer from the passage?

He tried sixty-eight hundred."Not exactly,"laughed Miss Bea."But it's still a big number: ten thousand pieces.""Whoa!"said Finn."My Star-Blaster only has sixty-two.But it's still going to be hard to put it together.""But it will be worth'it,"said Miss Bea,"Piano lessons are like that, too.You work and work to build a song.Your songs can be fast or slow,high or low,soft or loud."

According to some experts,overthinking comes from a basic part of our mind.Our brains always look for dangers and try to make plans to avoid (them and keep us safe.These dangers might come from bad experiences in the past,39 Some people believe that overthinking may be helpful because it helps us look at a problem from every possible side and get ready for what might happen.However,research shows that overthinking can lead to more stress and sadness.40 Worrying too much about what others do and say can also make you misunderstand them. So,instead of sitting and thinking about a problem endlessly,you can pay attention to other things for a while.Give your brain a break.41 You can do something fun,like gardening,cooking,or even sleeping. 42 Ask yourself if they have a point and think about other possibilities )It can be difficult at first,but learning to stop overthinking can help you change bad thoughts into much better ones.

With the development of the technology,people's life has changed greatly.Today,most young people like to connect with their friends online better.They think it is a good way to connect with their fricnds.However,some people think connecting with friends online may make them lose their real-world friendships.Do you agree with it?Here are some ideas. Know More In the past,people connected with friends in simple ways.They often met friends face-to-face.They would go to their friends'homes to play or chat.Sometimes,they would meet at places like parks or small shops.They could talk and have a good time together. Agree Technology hurts friendships.When we communicate with our friends in front of a screen, it's easier to misread ()their tones or body language.We might think our friends are smiling while they're down. A firiend might send a text message as a joke that says,"You're the worst friend!"But our feelings might be hurt because we think he's serious. Disagree I'm Frank.I don't think technology hurts friendships.In fact,it can make them stronger. For example,my best friends live in California where I lived in the past.The last time I met them in person was three years ago.But I talk to them online every week.It feels like they're right here with ine.Without technology,we can't be so close friends. According-to experts,staying connected online is not enough to build true friendships. Spending time together face-to-face is quite important,especially when people are in trouble. During the hard times,people don't need someone who likes their pictures or posts.What's more, what they really need is someone who can offer them help. 63.What did connecting with friends mean in the past? 64.Why do some people think technology hurts friendships? 65.Where do Frank's best friends live? 66.What do experts think is important to build true friendships? 67.How do you get along with your friends?(请考生自拟一句话作答) 试卷第8页，共8页
