You have to face new problems and try to find out how to deal with them. You’re wondering how to fit into society. 1 Teenagers have always had these problems, but young people today live in a world that is changing so fast. They will have too many choices. 2 But it can also be a bad thing as it may cause “mental internal friction（精神内耗）”. Scientists say that “mental internal friction” happens when people have to think a lot in order to be able to move from “old ideas” to “new ideas”. They have to ask themselves such questions as “Are the new ideas good?” and “Will they make me feel happy?” 3 That’s because they are still too young to make the right choices. So they may feel tired, unhappy and even have trouble sleeping at night. But don’t lose heart if you have these problems. 4 First, you must know yourself. As Aristotle put it, “Knowing yourself is the beginning of all wisdom.” Second, develop new interests. A friend of mine decided to learn about Beijing Opera. He said that learning about “old things” made it easier for him to deal with the “new things” in modern life. 5 Connecting with nature can help you know yourself and make you feel relaxed. A．There are some ways to solve them. B．This can be good as it means more chances. C．The third thing you can do is spend time in nature. D．Teenagers shouldn’t be allowed to have part-time jobs. E．And then there are worries of school grades and future jobs. F．It’s difficult to find the answers especially for young people. G．Their parents and grandparents were very poor in the past. 三、阅读短文，用括号内单词正确形式填空，无提示词填介词/连词/冠词 If you want to know yourself well, it’s necessary 1 (develop) good personal qualities. A good leader is 2 (response) for all group work. He must be 3 (create) enough to come up with new plans. Being 4 (modesty) helps you learn from others. If you are too proud, you will miss many chances 5 improve yourself. Teachers are always 6 (encourage) us to communicate freely. Proper 7 (communicate) can reduce misunderstandings between people. Hard work is the key to 8 (achieve) your life goals. No one can reach dreams without 9 (wise) time management. Finally, 10 (honest) is the most valuable quality for every teenager. 1、 完形填空 Last winter, I met an old craftsman in the old street of our city. He made sugar-figure art, a traditional Chinese folk craft. At first, I just stopped to 1 out of curiosity, but his skills soon caught my heart. The old man sat quietly beside a wooden table. A small stove was on the table, with melted golden sugar in a pot. The sugar was sweet and warm, giving out a light 2 . Without any drawing tools, he only used a small iron spoon. He held the spoon, dipped it into the hot sugar, and then moved his hands 3 on the smooth stone board. His fingers danced freely. The thick sugar liquid fell down slowly, forming thin and clear lines. In just five minutes, a lively little rabbit 4 in front of me. Its ears were long, eyes round and body soft. Then he added a thin sugar stick at the bottom, and the sugar figure was 5 finished. I talked with the craftsman happily. He told me that he had kept this craft for over forty years. When he was young, he learned it from his 6 . At that time, sugar-figure art was very popular among kids. Every festival, many children would crowd around his stall and 7 their favorite sugar animals. However, with the development of modern toys and snacks, fewer young people like traditional sugar figures now. Many young craftsmen 8 this old craft because it is hard to learn and cannot make much money. “Traditional crafts are the treasure of our culture. I can’t let it 9 ,” the old man said gently. He still sticks to his stall every weekend. He not only makes sugar figures, but also 10 the history and stories behind the craft to young visitors. Some students come to learn from him in their spare time, which makes him very 11 . I bought a sugar bird from him. Holding the sweet sugar figure, I tasted the sweet flavor and also felt the 12 of traditional culture. It is not just a kind of snack, but also a carrier of local memories and folk art. Every traditional craft needs people to 13 and pass it on. These old crafts carry the wisdom of our ancestors and special cultural feelings. As teenagers, we should 14 more attention to traditional folk arts. Let more old crafts walk out of the old streets and be 15 by more people. 1．A．watch B．work C．travel D．study 2．A．sound B．smell C．taste D．light 3．A．angrily B．nervously C．skillfully D．weakly 4．A．appeared B．left C．hid D．failed 5．A．hardly B．completely C．nearly D．simply 6．A．teacher B．friend C．father D．neighbor 7．A．refuse B．choose C．forget D．miss 8．A．give up B．take up C．put up D．pick up 9．A．rise B．return C．disappear D．change 10．A．speaks B．explains C．argues D．complains 11．A．sad B．worried C．bored D．pleased 12．A．beauty B．trouble C．pressure D．risk 13．A．doubt B．protect C．prevent D．stop 14．A．pay B．cost C．spend D．take 15．A．controlled B．wasted C．understood D．separated 2、 阅读理解 Lin Yue is a young folk art inheritor (传承人) from southern China. She tries her best to protect and spread traditional Chinese paper-cutting art. When she was a little girl, she started learning this traditional skill from her grandmother. She has collected many classic paper-cut works from all over the country. She also makes easy online courses to teach people basic cutting skills. So far, thousands of learners of different ages have joined her classes. To let more people know about paper-cutting culture, she takes part in all kinds of cultural activities. She designs lovely paper-cut patterns for many daily goods. Modern people like creative things with deep traditional culture more than ordinary popular products. In 2026, a big national traditional art exhibition will be held in Shanghai. Its main theme is “Beauty of Chinese Folk Art”. It wants to show excellent traditional culture and local customs to people at home and abroad. Now, more teenagers fall in love with paper-cutting and try to make their own creative works in their free time. 1．Who taught Lin Yue paper-cutting when she was young? A．Her mother. B．Her grandmother. C．Her teacher. 2．How does Lin Yue teach people paper-cutting skills? A．By giving online courses. B．By holding big parties. C．By writing some books. 3．What kind of products do modern people like better? A．Cheap and common goods. B．Creative works with traditional culture. C．Simple and old-fashioned things. 4．Where will the 2026 traditional art exhibition take place? A．In Beijing. B．In Guangzhou. C．In Shanghai. 5．Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage? A．Lin Yue is from northern China. B．Teenagers don’t like paper-cutting now. C．The 2026 exhibition’s theme is “Beauty of Chinese Folk Art”. B Success is often considered to be the opposite of failure. To teenagers, it is the achievement of a goal or completion of something they really need, such as good grades and the ability to get along well with their classmates. Some schools used to agree with most parents who measured (判定) the success of their children according to grades, but now they pay special attention to moral (道德的) education and character-building to make sure teenagers achieve success in building human relationships. Schools give chances to students to discover their hidden ability so that they can enjoy some form of success. For example, those good at speaking skills are advised to take part in speech competitions while those interested in arts are expected to perform in front of their classmates. Teenagers also get the pleasure of success when they join their favorite clubs. Teenagers are often told that success is not easy to achieve and that success lies in hard work. Great efforts have to be put into project work. Doing things much later than planned should be avoided as this will lead to a mountain of work which finally makes them nervous. Another good quality (品质) is a sense of responsibility which makes them remember that a task has to be completed. Sticking to moral values is the key to success too. Honest teenagers will win the trust of friends leading to good relationships. Self-motivation (自我激励) is another quality to be developed, for self-motivated teenagers will have the strong will and drive to perform a task and finally get to enjoy a sense of achievement. 1．What does the underlined word “they” in Paragraph 1 refer to (指代)? A．Their classmates. B．Some schools. C．Most parents. D．Their children. 2．Why are students given chances to take part in activities? A．To get good grades. B．To improve speaking ability. C．To express their love for arts. D．To get the pleasure of success. 3．What can we learn from Paragraph 3? A．Project work makes teenagers nervous. B．Good qualities will lead to a happy life. C．Teenagers are advised to complete tasks in time. D．Taking responsibility will make work much easier. 4．What is important for making students strong minded? 5．What can be the best title for the text? A．The Value of Moral Education B．The Key to Discovering Hidden Ability C．The Meaning of Success to Teenagers D．The Way to Communicate with Others 一、完形填空 （2026·甘肃武威·中考真题） It was an afternoon of December.

This exciting performance is Striking Iron Flower (打铁花). It is a traditional folk art form, and it has been around for more than 1,000 years in China. It is deeply rooted (根植) in traditional Chinese culture. Striking Iron Flower usually takes place during important festivals such as the Spring Festival and the Lantern Festival. People get together to watch this wonderful performance. The blooming (盛放的) sparks are seen as bright symbols of happiness and good wishes. Striking Iron Flower is a highly skilled performance. To begin with, the performers put waste iron in a big oven. Then, they heat the iron at a very high temperature until it becomes liquid (液体). Finally, they use special tools to splash (泼洒) the liquid iron into the air. When the liquid iron meets the cold air, it will turn into beautiful sparks. A performer needs to have strong arms, good skills and a lot of courage. It shows the creativity of Chinese working people. In order to keep traditional Chinese culture alive, we should protect and pass down this traditional art. Nowadays, more and more young people are getting interested in it and learning about the skills. They hope to carry forward this special art form and let it shine in the future. 1．How long has Striking Iron Flower been around in China? _______________________________________________________________ 2．What are the blooming sparks seen as? _______________________________________________________________ 3．Does Striking Iron Flower require high skills? _______________________________________________________________ 4．How many steps does Striking Iron Flower include? _______________________________________________________________ 5．What’s the purpose of this passage? _______________________________________________________________ $ Unit 1 Teenagers today 课时1 Starting out &阅读词汇 分层作业 参考答案 一、单词默写 1. lady 2. gentleman 3. high school 4. puppet 5. performer 6. finger 7. teenager 8. old-fashioned 9 . take part in 10. performance 11. unless 12. video 2、 词组默写 1. the future of our society 2. great qualities of teenagers 3. a responsible teenager 4. play important roles in our country 5. recommend a role model 6. describe role models 7. adverbial clauses 8. the qualities of responsible teenagers 9. belong to 10. rest with sb. 11. the foundation of every state 12. the education of its youth 13. the youth of today 14. the leaders of tomorrow 15. the riddle of the Sphinx 16. life stage 17.take part in 三、 根据要求完成句子 1. future of our society 2. a responsible teenager 3.important roles do they play 4. recommend a role model 5. belongs to 6. the education of its youth 7.The youth 1、 用所给词的适当形式填空 1．performer 2．performance 3．performed 4.performance 5．fingers 6．Teenagers 7．old-fashioned 8．videos 9．amazing 10．posts 2、 七选五 1．E 2．B 3．F 4．A 5．C 三、用括号内所给单词的适当形式补全短文 1．to develop 2．responsible 3．creative 4．modest 5．to 6．encouraging 7．communication 8．achieving 9．wise 10．honesty 1、 完形填空 1．A 2．B 3．C 4．A 5．B 6．C 7．B 8．A 9．C 10．B 11．D 12．A 13．B 14．A 15．C 2、 阅读理解 A 1．B 2．A 3．B 4．C 5．C B 1．B 2．D 3．C 4．B 5．C 3、 阅读与表达 1．It has been around for more than 1,000 years./For more than 1,000 years. 2．They are seen as bright symbols of happiness and good wishes./Bright symbols of happiness and good wishes. 3．Yes, it does. 4．Three./Three steps./It includes three steps. 5．To introduce Striking Iron Flower./To call on people to protect and pass down Striking Iron Flower./To remind people to keep our traditional culture alive./… 一、完形填空 1．B 2．A 3．D 4．B 5．C 6．A 7．C 8．A 9．D 10．B 二、任务型阅读 1．It has been around for more than 1,000 years./For more than 1,000 years. 2．They are seen as bright symbols of happiness and good wishes./Bright symbols of happiness and good wishes. 3．Yes, it does. 4．Three./Three steps./It includes three steps. 5．To introduce Striking Iron Flower./To call on people to protect and pass down Striking Iron Flower./To remind people to keep our traditional culture alive./… ( 1 / 6 ) 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ Unit 1 Teenagers today 课时1 Starting out &阅读词汇 分层作业 A组 巩固过关 C组 思维拔高 B组 能力进阶 拓展 链接中考 ( 词汇 lady /ˈleɪdi/n. 女士，女子 gentleman /ˈdʒentlmən/n. 先生 high school 高中 puppet /ˈpʌpɪt/n.

(video) 【答案】videos 【详解】句意：花太多时间不间断刷短视频是有害的。 9．The scenery around the mountain is really ________ (amaze). No one wanted to leave. 【答案】amazing 【详解】句意：山周边的景色十分令人惊叹，没人想要离开。“amaze”，“使惊奇”，动词。根据语句“The scenery around the mountain is really…No one wanted to leave.”可知，此处修饰事物scenery，需要使用-ing形式的形容词amazing，表示“令人惊叹的”。 10．He writes many articles and ________ (post) them to newspapers. 【答案】posts 【详解】句意：他写了很多文章并将它们发表在报纸上。 二、七选五 Being a teenager is not easy these days.

You’re wondering how to fit into society.”可知，前文列举了青少年面临的“适应新问题”“融入社会”等困境，选项E“此外还有对学业成绩和未来工作的担忧”补充了其他常见困扰，故选E。 2．根据前文“They will have too many choices.”及后文“But it can also be a bad thing as it may cause ‘mental internal friction’.”可知，前文提到“太多选择”，后文通过“but”转折说明其弊端，选项B“这可能是好事，因为这意味着更多机会”先肯定“多选择”的优势，与后文的弊端形成对比，故选B。 3．根据前文“They have to ask themselves such questions as ‘Are the new ideas good?’ and ‘Will they make me feel happy?’”及后文“That’s because they are still too young to make the right choices.”可知，前文列出青少年的自我疑问，后文说明“难以做出正确选择”的原因，选项F“找到答案很难，尤其是对年轻人来说”衔接疑问与原因，解释了“年轻人难以抉择”的核心困境，故选F。 4．根据前文“But don’t lose heart if you have these problems.”及后文“First, you must know yourself... Second, develop new interests.”可知，前文鼓励“不要灰心”，后文列举具体解决办法，选项A“有一些方法可以解决这些问题”起到承上启下的作用，既回应前文的困境，又引出后文的具体建议，故选A。 5．根据前文“First... Second...”及后文“Connecting with nature can help you know yourself and make you feel relaxed.”可知，前文已给出两个解决办法，后文围绕“亲近自然”展开，选项C“第三件你可以做的事是花时间接触自然”作为第三个办法的总起句，衔接前文的分点建议，引出后文对“亲近自然”好处的说明，故选C。 三、阅读短文，用括号内单词正确形式填空，无提示词填介词/连词/冠词 If you want to know yourself well, it’s necessary 1 (develop) good personal qualities.

To teenagers, it is the achievement of a goal or completion of something they really need, such as good grades and the ability to get along well with their classmates. Some schools used to agree with most parents who measured (判定) the success of their children according to grades, but now they pay special attention to moral (道德的) education and character-building to make sure teenagers achieve success in building human relationships. Schools give chances to students to discover their hidden ability so that they can enjoy some form of success. For example, those good at speaking skills are advised to take part in speech competitions while those interested in arts are expected to perform in front of their classmates. Teenagers also get the pleasure of success when they join their favorite clubs. Teenagers are often told that success is not easy to achieve and that success lies in hard work. Great efforts have to be put into project work. Doing things much later than planned should be avoided as this will lead to a mountain of work which finally makes them nervous. Another good quality (品质) is a sense of responsibility which makes them remember that a task has to be completed. Sticking to moral values is the key to success too. Honest teenagers will win the trust of friends leading to good relationships. Self-motivation (自我激励) is another quality to be developed, for self-motivated teenagers will have the strong will and drive to perform a task and finally get to enjoy a sense of achievement. 1．What does the underlined word “they” in Paragraph 1 refer to (指代)?
