【题目】阅读理解
As students enter the school building, they are easy targets of peer pressure. Students may become involved in activities that are dangerous to themselves, or others, due to peer pressure.
Drugs, including alcohol, are a major part of peer pressure. A research institute reports that about 30 percent of the teenagers are offered drugs in middle and high schools. The majority of teens consume their first drink of alcohol at the age of 13. The National Household Survey on drug use and health from the Department of Health and Human Services informs the public that 74. 3 percent of the high school students have tried alcohol.A large percentage of those who drink alcohol are also smokers. The American Lung Association points out that about 3. 1 million adolescents are smokers in the US. Almost 25 percent of teens between 17 and 18 are regular smokers.
Peer pressure can affect the behavior, clothing choice, music and movie choice and even the personality. Academics can also be affected by peer influence.People can be affected by these factors and remain completely unaware of the changes in their lifestyle, but some people do realize when they are being pressured.Just by simply spending time with others, a person can become more like them.
“If you are being pressured to do things that you know are wrong,” Sheats, a senior, said,“you should get out of that situation and tell a trusted adult.” For people to avoid becoming a victim of peer pressure, they must make their own decisions.Judgment of a situation based on one's morals is very important in peer pressure situations.“People,” Sheats added,“should follow their own hearts.”
(1)The passage is mainly about________.
A.peer influence
B.teenagers' lifestyles
C.academic pressure
D.moral judgment
(2)According to the second paragraph,________.
A.teen smokers are more than teen alcoholics
B.almost a quarter of teens are regular smokers
C.most teens begin to try alcohol at the age of 13
D.about 30% of teenagers try drugs in middle school
(3)It can be inferred from the passage that________.
A.no one knows they are being influenced by their friends
B.teenagers tend to spend more time with their friends
C.people are more easily influenced by those around them
D.peer pressure affects people’s behavior rather than academics
(4)Sheats suggests when being pressured to do something awful,we teens should________.
A.ask our peers for help
B.keep it a secret from our parents
C.accept our peers’ decisions
D.make decisions on our own morals

【答案】
(1)A
(2)C
(3)C
(4)D
【解析】来自同辈的压力很容易影响在校的学生,让他们随波逐流,做出不应该做的事情。鉴于此,青少年应该有自己的道德观,而不是盲目跟从。
(1) 主旨大意题。文章第一段开门见山地点明了本文的主题,再结合第三段中的内容可知,本文主要是谈论“同辈的影响”,故选A。
(2) 细节理解题。根据本段的第三句“Themajority of teens consume their first drink of alcohol at the age of 13.”可知,大部分青少年在13岁时开始尝试饮酒。
(3) 推理判断题。根据第三段的最后一句可推知,人们更容易受周围人的影响。
(4) 细节理解题。根据最后一段的最后两句可知,Sheats建议青少年应该凭自己的道德作决定,其余三项均不恰当。

Patience is of great importance in our daily life. Once I waited a bus to come at a stop. 30 minutes past, but no bus came. Both upset and annoyed, I decided to walk on feet. But no sooner had I left when the bus arrived. I thought if I had waited for one more minute, I would have caught it. If I chose to take a next bus, I would have to wait for other 30 minutes. Only then do I realize my problem. Being impatient will possible waste all the effort that we have put it in. Now whenever I am close to lose my patience, I'll think of this experience.

【题目】阅读理解
People aren't walking any more—if they can figure out a way to avoid it.
I felt superior about this matter until the other day I took my car to mail a small parcel. The journey is a matter of 281 steps. But I used the car. And I wasn't in any hurry, either. I had merely become one more victim of a national sickness: motorosis.
It is an illness to which I had thought myself immune (免疫的) , for I was bred in the tradition of going to places on my own two legs. At that time, we regarded 25 miles as a good day's walk and the ability to cover such a distance in ten hours as a sign of strength and skill. It did not occur to us that walking was a hardship. And the effect was lasting. When I was 45 years old I raced—and beat—a teenage football player the 168 steps up the Statue of Liberty.
Such enterprises today are regarded by many middleaged persons as bad for the heart. But a wellknown British physician, Sir Adolphe Abrahams, pointed out recently that hearts and bodies need proper exercise. A person who avoids exercise is more likely to have illnesses than one who exercises regularly. And walking is an ideal form of exercise—the most familiar and natural of all.
It was Henry Thoreau who showed mankind the richness of going on foot. The man walking can learn the trees, flowers, insects, birds and animals, the significance of seasons, the very feel of himself as a living creature in a living world. He cannot learn in a car.
The car is a convenient means of transport, but we have made it our way of life. Many people don't dare to approach Nature any more; to them the world they were born to enjoy is all threat. To them security is a_steel_river thundering on a concrete road. And much of their thinking takes place while waiting for the traffic light to turn green.
I say that the green of forests is the mind's best light. And none but the man on foot can evaluate what is basic and everlasting.
(1)What is the national sickness?
A.Walking too much.
B.Traveling too much.
C.Driving cars too much.
D.Climbing stairs too much.
(2)The author mentions Henry Thoreau to prove that ________.
A.middleaged people like getting back to nature
B.walking in nature helps enrich one's mind
C.people need regular exercise to keep fit
D.going on foot prevents heart disease
(3)What is compared to “a steel river” in Paragraph 6?
A.A queue of cars.
B.A ray of traffic light
C.A flash of lightning
D.A stream of people.
(4)What is the author's intention of writing this passage?
A.To tell people to reflect more on life.
B.To recommend people to give up driving.
C.To advise people to do outdoor activities.
D.To encourage people to return to walking.

【题目】For many people who live in cities, parks are an important landscape. They provide a place for people to relax and play sports, as well as a shelter from the often severe environment of a city. What people often overlook is that parks also provide considerable environmental benefits.

One benefit of parks is that plants absorb carbon dioxide and give off oxygen. According to one study, an acre of trees can absorb the same amount of carbon dioxide that a typical car emits in 11,000 miles of driving. Parks also make cities cooler. Scientists have long noted what is called the Urban Heat Island Effect: building materials such as metal and concrete (混凝土) absorb much more of the sun’s heat and release it much more quickly than trees and grass. Because city landscapes contain so much of these building materials, cities are usually warmer than surrounding rural areas. Parks and other green spaces help to lessen the Urban Heat Island Effect.

Unfortunately, many cities cannot easily create more parks. However, cities could benefit from many of the positive effects of parks by encouraging citizens to create another type of green space: rooftop gardens. While most people would not think of starting a garden on their roof, human beings have been planting gardens on rooftops for thousands of years. Some rooftop gardens are simple container gardens that anyone can create with the investment (投资) of a few hundred dollars and a few hours of work.

Rooftop gardens provide many of the same benefits as other urban parks and garden spaces, but without taking up the much-needed land. In the summer, rooftop gardens prevent buildings from absorbing heat from the sun, which can significantly reduce cooling bills. In the winter, gardens help control the heat that materials like brick and concrete release so quickly, leading to savings on heating bills. Rooftop vegetables and herb gardens can also provide fresh food for city settlers, making their diets healthier. Rooftop gardens are not only something everyone can enjoy but also a smart environmental investment.

1The underlined word “emits” in the second paragraph probably means _________.

A. gives out B. takes up

C. carries away D. breathes in

2Which of the following contributes to the Urban Heat Island Effect?

A. More building materials.

B. More trees and grass.

C. More parking lots.

D. More rooftop gardens.

3When it comes to rooftop gardens, what can be inferred from the passage?

A. They make people much happier.

B. They provide more benefits from urban parks.

C. They help to save money and keep a healthy diet.

D. They have become very popular in recent years.

4What’s the author’s attitude towards rooftop gardens?

A. Doubtful. B. Supportive. C. Critical. D. Objective.
