family house in Bethlehem,Pennsylvania.We had heard in school about a planet called Pluto.It was the farthest,coldest,and darkest thing a child could imagine.We guessed how long it would take to die if we stood on the surface of such a frozen place wearing only the clothes we had on.We tried to figure out how much colder Pluto was than the Antarctic,or than the coldest day we had ever experienced in Pennsylvania.Pluto,which famously was downgraded from a “major planet” to a “dwarf planet”(矮行星)in 2006,captured our imagination because it was a mystery that could plete our picture of what it was like at the most remote corners of our solar system.Plutos underdog discovery story is part of what makes it so attractive.Clyde Tombaugh was a Kansas farm boy who built telescopes out of spare auto parts,old farm equipment and self-ground lenses.As an assistant at Lowell Observatory in Flagstaff,Arizona,Tombaughs task was to search millions of stars for a moving point of light,a planet that the observatorys founder thought existed beyond the orbit of Neptune.On February 18,1930,Tombaugh found it.Pluto was the first planet discovered by an American,and represented a moment of light in the midst of the Great Depressions dark encroachment (入侵).Pluto is much more than something that is not a planet.Its a reminder that there are many worlds out there beyond our own and that the sky isnt the limit at all.We dont know what kinds of fantastic variations on a theme nature is capable of making until we get there to look.1.Why did Pluto bee famous in 2006 according to the passage?A.Because it disappeared in the sky.B.Because it lost its major planet status.C.Because it was discovered by an American.D.Because it was proved to be the coldest planet in the universe.2.What can be a suitable title for the text?A.Plutos RomanceB.Pluto Was First Discovered by a BoyC.An American Scientist:Clyde TombaughD.The Days I Spent with My Brother in Pennsylvania3.What can we learn from the fourth paragraph?A.Clyde Tombaugh discovered the darkness in the Great Depression.B.Pluto was the only planet that was discovered by Clyde Tombaugh.C.Clyde Tombaughs telescopes used for searching stars were very simple.D.Clyde Tombaughs job was to build telescopes for Lowell Observatory.4.The underlined sentence in the last paragraph is most likely to mean .A.Pluto is no less than a planet in the solar systemB.Pluto is much more than a planet in the solar systemC.Pluto is more important than any other planet in the skyD.Pluto is not a planet in the solar system,but it is more than a planetBFollowing the crowd may not always be in a persons best interest.But new research suggests that teens who get along with their friends may end up healthier as adults.Scientists have known that close friendships help boost health.Thats true for both teens and adults.The finding inspired Joseph Allen，a psychologist at the University of Virginia，and his team to study whether experiences during teen years would influence adult health.So they followed 171 teens，starting when the kids were just 13.They interviewed each one every year for five years，and also spoke to these teens closest friends，who provided additional information about the quality of their friendships.The same 171 people were interviewed again at ages 25,26 and 27.This time, the questions surveyed each persons overall health.When the researchers analyzed the data，they found a strong connection between a teens behavior and adult health.Teens who had close friends grew up to be the healthier adults.Whether teens held back their feelings or expressed them to close friends also influenced later health.Those who held back their feelings were more likely to be sick as adults.The connection held up even after the scientists accounted for other possible influences on health.Weight，family ine and drug use were all examined.So were mental health issues，such as anxiety and depression.And in these people，such other factors did not explain adult health as well as teen friendships did.Getting along with the crowd may have benefits，says Allen，but there are also drawbacks.Teens who are more independent tend to do better at school and work.And peer pressure may lead some kids to engage in risky behavior，such as smoking，drinking or using drugs.Dealing with it is an ongoing challenge，Allen acknowledges.“Finding the right balance is the key.Teens shouldnt lose heart for not finding this easy.”And，he adds，“Parents need to be understanding about the pressures teens face.”1Where can you probably read this passage?AScience fiction.BHealth column.CFashion magazine.DEntertainment newspaper.2We can learn from Allens study that _.Amany other factors have a greater influence on adult health than teen friendshipsBmental health issues have nothing to do with adult healthCthe same 171 teens were interviewed each year from 13 to 27Dthe teens who couldnt express themselves grew up to be unhealthy3According to what Allen said，we can know that _.Ain order to do better at school，teens should not follow the crowdBthough its challenging for teens to deal with peer pressure，they should not give upCteens will engage in smoking，drinking or using drugs when facing peer pressureDparents should understand their teens and stop them going with friends4What can be inferred from the passage?AThere is nothing bad for teens to follow the crowd.BClose friendships are the most important for peoples health.CTeen friendships may help teens bee healthier adults.DAdult health is only influenced by teen friendships.【解題導(dǎo)語(yǔ)】研究表明，與朋友較少或者沒(méi)有朋友的青少年相比，有朋友的青少年在長(zhǎng)大后更健康。當(dāng)然，與朋友相處也有壞處。1B考查推理判斷。通讀全文可知，本文主要介紹青少年時(shí)的友誼對(duì)青少年成年后健康的影響。據(jù)此可知，本文屬于健康知識(shí)類文章，故可判斷，本文可能選自“健康專欄”，故B項(xiàng)正確。2D考查細(xì)節(jié)理解。根據(jù)第三段中的“Whether teens held back.sick as adults”可知，青少年是否向他們的好朋友表達(dá)情感也會(huì)影響到其成年后的健康，那些壓抑情感的青少年成年后很可能不健康。故D項(xiàng)正確。3B考查細(xì)節(jié)理解。根據(jù)最后一段內(nèi)容可知，與朋友相處使得青少年在成年后更加健康的同時(shí)也會(huì)帶來(lái)不利影響，即周圍同齡人帶來(lái)的壓力，這些壓力會(huì)導(dǎo)致許多問(wèn)題。分析Allen的話“Finding the right balance is the key.Teens shouldnt lose heart for not finding this easy”可以判斷，青少年要應(yīng)對(duì)這些壓力，找到正確的平衡點(diǎn)是關(guān)鍵，不能因?yàn)楹茈y找到平衡點(diǎn)就灰心喪氣。故選B。4C考查推理判斷。根據(jù)文章第一段第二句“But new research suggests that teens who get along with their friends may end up healthier as adults”可知，與朋友相處的青少年在成年后會(huì)更加健康。C項(xiàng)意為“青少年時(shí)期的友誼會(huì)幫助青少年成為更加健康的成年人”，符合文章意思，故C項(xiàng)正確。根據(jù)最后一段第一句“Getting along with the crowd may have benefits，says Allen，but there are also drawbacks”可知，與朋友相處有好處，但是也有一定的缺點(diǎn)，故A項(xiàng)與文意不符；B項(xiàng)錯(cuò)在“the most”，D項(xiàng)錯(cuò)在“only”，都太過(guò)于絕對(duì)。.七選五閱讀Violent Games:Fun or Harmful?If you play lots of video games,youve probably blown a zombie(僵尸) into tiny bits.1 Many adults worry that playing such games could make children act violently in real life.Is that true?The American Academy of Pediatrics(兒科) says that violence in any kind of mediafrom TV to music to video gamespresents a risk to kids health.A number of studies have shown a link between video games and aggression,including one published in JAMA Pediatrics in 2014,which found that kids who played violent video games showed an increase in aggressive thoughts and behaviours.2But not all studies agree that violent games cause kids to act out.Another study replaced violent deaths with evaporation(蒸發(fā)) in a game.3People who played the non-violent game without any training were more aggressive afterward than people who played the violent version but learned to control themselves first.And heres an even stranger fact:When violent video games are released,people carry out fewer violent crimes!Why?4Steve Levitt,coauthor of the book Freakonomics,said,“If you can make video games fun enough,then kids will stop doing everything else.Theyll stop watching TV,and theyll stop going out and creating violent disorder on the street.”What do you think?5A.One possible explanation:potential criminals are at home playing the new game.B.Then,before playing the game,some people received training and others didnt.C.More than 3,000 kids answered survey questions during a two-year period.D.For example,thinking its OK to hit someone you dont like.E.Have you ever played any violent video games?F.Do violent video games cause bad behaviour?G.Some games even pile up dead bodies.短文改錯(cuò)(2016南昌二模)Everyone of us are thinking about the future.I have decided to bee a middle school teacher.Does it sound surprised?I have had this dream when I was a child.I love children.I dont think to deal with them all years round is just wasting time.On the contrary,to me it means happiness.Like we all can see,teachers are badly needed

worlds out there beyond our own and that the sky isnt the limit at all.”和第三段中的“.because it was a mystery that could plete our picture of what it was like at the most remote corners of our solar system.”可推知,冥王星雖然不是太陽(yáng)系邊緣的行星,但是它的發(fā)現(xiàn)意義重大,比行星還重要。B.【解題導(dǎo)語(yǔ)】本文是議論文。文章討論了暴力電子游戲帶來(lái)的是趣味還是傷害。1.G根據(jù)下句中的“.playing such games could make children act
