The results showed that academic pressure, body image issues, and social relationships were the top three worries for most teenagers. Nearly 75% of the respondents said that getting good grades and getting into a good college was their biggest concern. Many teenagers reported feeling stressed about homework, exams, and the expectations of their parents and teachers. Some even said that they had trouble sleeping or eating because of the pressure. Body image issues were the second most common concern, with 62% of teenagers saying that they felt insecure about their appearance. Girls were more likely to report feeling unhappy with their bodies than boys, but boys also struggled with body image issues, especially related to their height and muscle mass. Social relationships were the third biggest worry for teenagers. Many said that they felt pressure to fit in with their peers and be popular. Some reported feeling lonely or isolated, while others had problems with bullying or conflicts with friends. Other concerns mentioned in the survey included mental health issues, family problems, and uncertainty about the future. The survey also found that many teenagers were reluctant to talk about their feelings with adults, and that only about 30% had sought help from a counselor or therapist. The researchers who conducted the survey said that the results highlight the need for better support systems for teenagers. They recommended that schools and parents should provide more resources and education about mental health, and that teenagers should be encouraged to talk about their feelings and seek help when they need it. 26. What was the biggest concern for most teenagers according to the survey? A. Body image issues B. Academic pressure C. Social relationships D. Mental health issues 27. What percentage of teenagers felt insecure about their appearance? A. 30% B. 62% C. 75% D. 85% 28. Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage? A. Boys were more likely to report body image issues than girls. B. All teenagers had trouble sleeping because of academic pressure. C. Only about 30% of teenagers had sought help from a counselor. D. Family problems were the fourth biggest worry for teenagers. 29. What did the researchers recommend? A. Teenagers should not worry about their grades. B. Schools and parents should provide more mental health support. C. Teenagers should solve their problems on their own. D. Parents should not have any expectations for their children. B Dear Teenagers, I know that adolescence can be a difficult and confusing time. You are going through so many changes—physical, emotional, and social—and it's normal to feel overwhelmed sometimes. But I want you to know that you are not alone, and that there are things you can do to make this journey easier. First of all, be kind to yourself. It's okay to make mistakes and to not be perfect. Everyone struggles during adolescence, and that's part of growing up. Don't compare yourself to others—everyone's journey is different, and you are on your own unique path. Secondly, talk to someone you trust about your feelings. It can be a parent, a teacher, a friend, or a counselor. Keeping your feelings bottled up inside will only make things worse. When you talk about your problems, you will feel better, and you might even get some helpful advice. Thirdly, take care of your physical health. Getting enough sleep, eating a healthy diet, and exercising regularly can have a huge impact on your mood and mental health. When your body feels good, your mind will feel good too. Fourthly, find something you love to do. Whether it's painting, playing music, sports, or writing, having a hobby can help you relax and express yourself. It can also help you meet new people who share your interests. Finally, remember that this too shall pass. The challenges you are facing now will not last forever. In a few years, you will look back and realize how much you have grown and how strong you have become. I believe in you, and I know that you have the strength and courage to get through this. You are amazing just the way you are, and you have so much to offer the world. With love and support, A caring counselor 30. Who wrote this letter? A. A parent B. A teacher C. A counselor D. A teenager 31. What is the main purpose of this letter? A. To tell teenagers about the changes during adolescence. B. To give teenagers advice on how to deal with adolescent challenges. C.

Take care of your physical health. C. Find a hobby you love. D. Spend more time on social media. C When Alex was 14 years old, he developed severe social anxiety. He became terrified of speaking in front of people, and he would avoid any situation where he might have to interact with strangers. He stopped going to parties, refused to raise his hand in class, and even had trouble ordering food at restaurants. Alex's parents were worried about him. They tried to encourage him to be more outgoing, but nothing seemed to work. Finally, they took him to see a therapist who specialized in anxiety disorders. The therapist explained to Alex that social anxiety is a common problem, and that it is caused by a combination of genetic and environmental factors. She told him that there are effective treatments available, and that he could learn to manage his anxiety. The therapist used a type of therapy called cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) to help Alex. CBT focuses on changing negative thought patterns and behaviors that contribute to anxiety. Alex learned to identify the negative thoughts that were causing his anxiety, and to replace them with more positive and realistic ones. He also learned relaxation techniques, such as deep breathing and progressive muscle relaxation, to help him calm down when he felt anxious. The therapist gradually exposed Alex to social situations in a safe and controlled way, starting with small interactions and working up to more challenging ones. At first, it was very difficult for Alex. He would feel extremely nervous and would want to run away. But with the support of his therapist and his family, he kept practicing. Slowly but surely, his anxiety began to decrease. After six months of therapy, Alex was able to give a presentation in front of his entire class. It was a huge achievement for him, and it gave him the confidence to keep going. Now, two years later, Alex is a confident and outgoing 16-year-old. He still gets nervous sometimes, but he knows how to manage his anxiety and not let it control his life. Alex's story shows that social anxiety is a treatable condition. If you are struggling with social anxiety or any other mental health issue, don't be afraid to seek help. There are people who care about you and who can help you get better. 34. What problem did Alex have when he was 14? A. He had severe social anxiety. B. He was not good at his studies. C. He had no friends at school. D. He often fought with his parents. 35. What type of therapy did the therapist use to help Alex? A. Art therapy B. Music therapy C. Cognitive-behavioral therapy D. Play therapy 36. How long did it take for Alex to be able to give a presentation in front of his class? A. One month B. Six months C. One year D. Two years 37. What can we learn from Alex's story? A. Social anxiety is not treatable. B. Only teenagers have social anxiety. C. Seeking help can make a big difference. D. Therapy is not effective for anxiety disorders. D Adolescence is a period of rapid brain development that begins around the age of 10 and continues into the early 20s. During this time, the brain undergoes significant changes that affect how teenagers think, feel, and behave. One of the most important changes that occurs during adolescence is the development of the prefrontal cortex. The prefrontal cortex is the part of the brain that is responsible for decision-making, planning, impulse control, and reasoning. It is also the last part of the brain to fully develop, which is why teenagers often make impulsive decisions and have trouble thinking about the long-term consequences of their actions. Another important change is the increase in dopamine levels in the brain. Dopamine is a neurotransmitter that is associated with pleasure, reward, and motivation. During adolescence, the brain becomes more sensitive to dopamine, which means that teenagers are more likely to seek out new and exciting experiences. This can be a good thing, as it encourages teenagers to explore and learn new things. But it can also lead to risky behaviors, such as experimenting with drugs and alcohol, driving too fast, or engaging in unprotected sex. The amygdala, which is the part of the brain that is responsible for processing emotions, also develops earlier than the prefrontal cortex. This is why teenagers often experience intense emotions and have trouble controlling their temper. They may overreact to small things and have mood swings that seem to come out of nowhere. It's important to remember that these brain changes are normal and necessary for healthy development. They help teenagers become independent adults who can make their own decisions and navigate the challenges of adulthood. However, it's also important for teenagers to understand how their brains work, so that they can make better decisions and avoid unnecessary risks. Parents and teachers can also play an important role in supporting teenagers during this time. They can provide guidance and support, set clear boundaries, and help teenagers develop the skills they need to make responsible decisions. By working together, we can help teenagers navigate the challenges of adolescence and grow into happy, healthy, and successful adults. 38. Which part of the brain is responsible for decision-making and impulse control? A. The amygdala B. The prefrontal cortex C. The cerebellum D. The brain stem 39. Why are teenagers more likely to seek out new and exciting experiences? A. Because their prefrontal cortex is fully developed. B. Because their amygdala is not developed yet. C. Because their brain becomes more sensitive to dopamine. D. Because they have nothing else to do. 40. Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage? A. The prefrontal cortex develops earlier than the amygdala. B. Teenagers' brain changes are abnormal and dangerous. C. Dopamine is associated with pleasure and reward. D. Parents should not set any boundaries for teenagers. 非选择题（共50分） 四、填空（共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分） Task IV Express your thoughts and feelings about adolescence A) 请根据括号中所给的汉语写出单词，使短文意思完整正确，并将答案填写在答题卡标号为41~45的相应横线上。 Adolescence is a time of great change and growth.

Many teenagers feel lost and uncertain about their f 66 , wondering what they will do after high school. One of the biggest challenges that teenagers face is the pressure to conform to social norms.

Instead of shouting or shutting each other out, they should try to have calm and h 70 conversations. Mental health is also a major concern during adolescence.
