One of the most significant discoveries is that the brain develops from back to front.The regions responsible for basic functions like vision,movement,and processing rewards(the limbic system)mature early in adolescence.This explains why teenagers are highly sensitive to social rewards-like acceptance by peers-and why they can experience emotions so powerfully.However,the prefrontal cortex,the area of the brain responsible for decision-making,impulse control,and long-term planning,is the last to fully develop,often not until a person's mid-20s.This maturational gap is a key factor in many typical teenage behaviors This neurological"imbalance"creates a perfect storm.The brain's reward system is screaming"Go for it!"when a potential thrill is near,while the brakes of the prefrontal cortex are still being fine-tuned.A teenager might logically understand the risks of speeding in a car,but in the heat of the moment with friends,the social reward of appearing brave or the immediate thrill can easily override that logical understanding.It's not that teenagers can't think rationally,it's that their ability to apply that rationality in emotionally charged situations is still developing. Understanding this development is crucial,not for making excuses for poor choices,but for developing better strategies to support teens.It explains why simply telling a teenager"Don't do it"is often ineffective.A more powerful approach is to help them recognize their own emotional states,practice pausing before acting,and understand how their brain works.By framing risk-taking as a natural part of development,we can guide teenagers toward healthier expression of this drivethrough challenging academics,competitive sports,or creative pursuitsrather than destructive behaviors.The goal is not to eliminate their passion and intensity,but to equip them with the tools to channel it wisely.

C.The prefrontal cortex is more important than the limbic system. D.Teenagers are incapable of making rational decisions. ()2.According to the passage,why are teenagers more likely to take risks? A.Their prefrontal cortex is fully developed. B.They are less sensitive to social rewards. C.Their limbic system matures faster than the prefrontal cortex. D.They cannot think logically in any situation. ()3.The phrase "a perfect storm"in paragraph 3 refers to A.a very bad weather situation B.a condition where many bad things happen at once C.a situation where the brain works perfectly D.a conflict between teenagers and adults ()4.What is a more effective way to support teenagers,according to the author? A.Strictly forbidding them from taking any risks B.Punishing them for their emotional outbursts C.Helping them understand their own brain development. D.Isolating them from social situations that trigger excitement. ()5.What is the author's tone towards teenagers? A.Sympathetic and instructive. B.Critical and disappointed. C.Indifferent and objective. D.Humorous and playful. Passage B In many cultures,the transition from childhood to adulthood is marked by specific rituals or ceremonies These"rites of passage"serve a crucial social function:they publicly acknowledge an individual's changing status and communicate new responsibilities to both the individual and the community.While modemn Western societies lack such formal,universal ceremonies for the teenage years,the fundamental need to prove"one's maturity is still very much present. Historically,rites of passage often involved tests of endurance,courage,or skill.A young man might be required to hunt a dangerous animal alone.A young woman might undergo a period of isolation and instruction from elder women.These experiences were designed to be challenging,forcing the young person to step outside their comfort zone and demonstrate the qualities required of an adult.Success in the ritual signaled not only personal achievement but also readiness to contribute to the group's survival and well-being. Today,many teenagers create their own informal rites of passage.Getting a driver's license,securing a first job,making the varsity sports team,or even surviving final exams can feel like a personal milestone The drive to have these experiences acknowledged is powerful.Why else do teenagers post their achievements on social media,seeking validation from their peers?In the absence of a village crier,a teenager's "village"now exists online. However,this shift from formal to informal rites has its drawbacks.Formal rituals typically provide a clear framework,with elders guiding the process and the community celebrating the outcome.They affirmed an individual's place in a stable social structure.Informal milestones,by contrast,can be ambiguous and anxiety-provoking.A teenager might wony that failing a test or not getting a date means they are"failing" at being an adult.This lack of a clear,shared path can intensify the self-doubt and identity struggle that defines the teenage years.The challenge for modemn society is to create new,constructive pathways that help teenagers find a sense of purpose and belonging as they navigate the often-uncertain journey to adulthood. ()1.What is the main purpose of traditional rites of passage? A.To entertain the community. B.To publicly mark the transition to adulthood. C.To teach teenagers a specific job skill. D.To test the physical strength of young men only. ()2.According to the author,what is a common modern equivalent of a rite of passage? A.Attending a formal ceremony. B.Being isolated by elders. C.Posting achievements on social media. D.Hunting a dangerous animal. ()3.One disadvantage of informal modemn rites of passage is that they A.are too easy to achieve B.are only recognized by the family C.create more anxiety due to a lack of clear structure D.are not celebrated by the community ()4.The word "ambiguous"in the last paragraph most nearly means A.clear and certain B.open to more than one interpretation C.difficult and painful D.filled with joy ()5.What does the author suggest is necessary for today's teenagers? A.The retumn of dangerous hunting rituals. B.More time spent on social media. C.The creation of clear,supportive pathways to adulthood. D.Less pressure to perform in school and sports 二、完形填空 I will never forget the day I received my first "adult"responsibility.My mother sat me down and said I was old enough to (1) the family budget for a month.I was 14 and felt a mix of pride and(2) This was my chance to prove I wasn't just a(3) anymore She handed me a folder with our monthly bills and a calculator."The goal,"she said,"is to (4) how to pay everything and still have money left for fun."I spent the first week being very (5) carefully tracking every penny.I even started a(6) of ways to save money,like tuming off lights to save on electricity.My mother gave an (7) ofbeing impressed.

For many teenagers,the pressure to succeed academically,socially,and personally can feel overwhelming.This pressure often leads to a state of chronic stress,which can negatively impact their mental and physical health.The feeling of being constantly evaluated,both by themselves and by others, is a key source of this anxiety.Social media,with its curated highlight reels of others'lives,can amplify this feeling of inadequacy.A teenager might see a peer's post about winning an award and feel a pang of jealousy or self-doubt about their own accomplishments. However,the source of the pressure isn't always external.A significant amount of stress comes from within.Many teenagers set impossibly high standards for themselves,driven by a fear of failure or a deep- seated belief that they must be perfect to be worthy.This internal pressure can be even more damaging than extemal expectations because it's constant and self-inflicted.It creates a harsh inner critic that is never satisfied. According to psychologists,the key to managing this pressure is not to eliminate it entirely,which is impossible,but to change one's relationship with it.One effective strategy is to practice self-compassion. Instead of criticizing themselves for a bad grade,a teenager can learn to treat themselves with the same kindness they would offer a friend.Another strategy is to focus on the process of leaming rather than the final outcome.Shifting the goal from "getting an A"to "understanding the material"can reduce the paralyzing fear of failure and promote genuine intellectual curiosity.Finally,learning to identify and say "no"to commitments that are not truly important can free up time and mental energy for what really matters.Ultimately,the joumey through the teenage years is not about avoiding pressure,but about learning to carry it wisely. 1.What are two sources of pressure mentioned in the passage? 2.According to the passage,why can internal pressure be more damaging than external pressure? 3.What does the phrase"curated highlight reels"in paragraph 1 most likely refer to? 4.List two strategies suggested by psychologists to manage stress. 5.What is the author's final message about the role of pressure in a teenager's life? 四、短文填空 阅读下面短文，在空白处填入I个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。 Being a teenager is often described as a period ofstorm and stress,"but it is also a time of incredible growth and discovery.One of the most important tasks during this stage is to develop a strong sense of self.This involves(1) different identities and figuring out what you truly value.It is a time when you are(2) to fit in,but also(3) to stand out. This process can be(4) at times.You might feel(5) when you try a new hobby and fail,or (6) by the expectations of adults.However,these(7) are not failures;they are (8) necessary for building character. A(9) attitude doesn't come naturally to everyone.It is built through small victories and leaming to cope with setbacks.The (10) of challenges you face-from a difficult math test to a disagreement with a fiiend-helps shape your(11).One of the most important(12) you can set is to define success on your own terms,rather than living up to others'(13) .The (14) world you will enter later values those who are self-aware and resilient.So,embrace the journey.It's a(15) part of becoming the person you are meant to be. 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 7. 8 9. 10. 11. 12. 13. 14. 15. 五、写作 假设你是高一新生李华，你所在的国际学校正在举办以“My First Impression of High School”为 题的征文活动。请你写一篇英文短文投稿，内容包括： 1.你对新学校的第一印象（环境、同学、老师等）： 2.开学以来你遇到的挑战或感悟： 3.你对未来高中生活的期待。 要求： 1.词数120-150词； 2.可以适当增加细节，以使行文连贯： 3.开头和结尾已给出，不计入总词数。 Dear Editor, My First Impression of High School As a freshman,my first impression of our school was a mix of awe and anxiety.
