题型:不详难度:来源:
A peer is a person who is about the same age as you. Peers affect your life, whether you know it or not, just by spending time with you.
Peers can have a good effect on each other. Maybe another student in your science class taught you an easy way to remember the planets in solar system. Maybe you got others excited about your new favorite book, and now everyone"s reading it.
However, sometimes peers affect each other in another way. For example, one kid in school might try to get another to cut class with him, your soccer friend might try to persuade you to be mean to another player and never pass him the ball, or a kid in the neighborhood might want you to shoplift with him.
Some kids give in to peer pressure because they want to be liked, to fit in, or because they worry that other kids may make fun of them if they don"t go along with the group.Others may go along because they are curious to try something new that others are doing. The idea that “everyone"s doing it ” may influence some kids to leave their better judgments, or their common senses behind.
  Peer pressure can be extremely strong and hard to get rid of. Experiments have shown how peer pressure can influence someone to change mind from what she knows for sure is a correct answer to the incorrect answer—just because everyone else gives the incorrect answer!That holds true for people of any age in peer pressure situations.
It can be hard to walk away from peer pressure, but it can be done. Pay attention to your own feelings and beliefs about what is right and wrong can help you know the right thing to do. Inner strength and self-confidence can help you stand firm, walk away, and resist doing something when you know better.

核心考点
试题【A peer is a person who is about the same age as you. Peers affect your life, whe】;主要考察你对题材分类等知识点的理解。[详细]
举一反三
Some kids can"t sit still for long. They have a hard time paying attention to just one thing. They"re easily distracted(分神).They can get very impatient. They hate standing in line or waiting for their turn in a game or activity. They get bored pretty fast. They may also be impulsive—saying the first thing that comes to mind or interrupting someone else who"s talking.
For certain kids, this problem is so severe(严重) that doctors have a name for it: attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, or ADHD. Perhaps as many as 1 out of every 20 kids under the age of 18 have characteristics of ADHD. Often, these kids have trouble getting through school and face other difficulties later in life.
Rizzo started developing the Virtual Classroom in 1999.He wanted to see if he could use it as a tool for testing and treating kids who have attention disorders.
To diagnose(诊断) ADHD, doctors typically test patients by giving them tasks that require attention. As part of one classic test, you watch letters flashed on a computer screen. Every time you see the letter “A” followed by the letter “X”,you have to press the space bar. If you"re paying close attention, you"ll register all the times this combination occurs. If not, you"ll miss some.
The Virtual Classroom makes these tests more efficient, Rizzo says. In one experiment, he gave a group of kids the classic “A-X” test. Instead of looking at a computer screen in a doctor"s office, though, the kids wore headsets that made it look like they were taking the test in a classroom.
“Basically what we found,”Rizzo says,“is that, in 20 minutes of testing with virtual reality,we replicated(复制) a finding that usually requires a couple hours of standard testing with computer screens in the psychologist"s office.”
小题1:The first paragraph mainly tells us _______.
A.how to find a patient with ADHD
B.the behavior of some kids with ADHD
C.kids with ADHD cannot sit still for a long time
D.kids with ADHD are easily distracted
小题2: Perhaps as many as _______ kids have characteristics of ADHD. 
A. one out of every twenty kids
B. five percent kids less than 18 years old
C. one out of twenty kids at the age of 18
D. five percent kids more than age of 18
小题3: In the experiment, patients need to press the space bar, when _______.
A.see letters A following XB.first see A then see B
C.see letter X and AD.see letters A followed by X
小题4:The main idea of the last paragraph is _______.
A.in virtual classroom, we finish the test in 20 minutes
B.the standard test with computer screen usually costs several hours
C.the experiment is easy to do
D.the result of the experiment

Every year landslides {滑坡} cause 25 to 50 deaths and $1.5 billion in damage in the United States.They account for 15 percent of the deaths from natural disasters in Europe.And in Decem­ber, a single event killed more than 200 people in the Philippines.Sending workers to stabilize (加固) mountainsides using steel bars and cement (水泥) can help prevent disaster, but it introduces new difficulties.Shaking drills produce harmful dust and loosen heavy, dangerous debris (米屑)."It"s quite a risky job," says Giorgio Pezzuto of D"Appolonia, an engineering company in Italy.
D"Appolonia, working with eight other companies, may have an answer:  a three-ton robot called Roboclimber."The idea is to operate a machine far away that can drill without a hu­man being on board,"" says Pezzuto, manager for the project, which is supported by the European Commission.Engineers claim that the machine will be faster and cheaper than manual labor.The robot, a large radio-controlled four-legged me­chanical spider (蜘蛛), has cost at least $2 mil­lion so far.The final product should be able to climb unstable mountainsides, drill holes, insert bars and cement, and collect data on the slope" s stability.Testing should begin in May.
小题1:The underlined word "event" (in Paragraph l) refers to ___.
A.landslideB.machineC.earthquakeD.flood
小题2:The purpose in writing this text is ___..
A.to tell people how serious the damage caused by landslides is
B.to tell people that sending workers to sta­bilize mountainsides is a risky job
C.to introduce a product that can be used to stabilize mountainsides
D.to show people how to use a new product
小题3:What does the robot look like?
A.A human being.B.A spider.C.A truck.D.A drill.
小题4:The biggest advantage of this product is that_________.
A.it will be faster and cheaper than manual labor
B.it can climb mountainsides, drill holes, insert bars and cement
C.it can collect data on the slope’s stability
D.it can drill without a human being on board

A weather map is an important tool for geographers. A succession of three or four maps presents a continuous picture of weather changes. Weather forecasters are able to determine the speed of air masses and fronts. They are also able to determine whether an air mass is retaining its original characteristics or taking on those of the surface over which it is moving. Thus, a most significant function of the map is to reveal an synoptic picture(气象图) of conditions in the atmosphere at a given time.
All students of geography should to interpret a weather map accurately. Weather maps contain an enormous amount of information about weather conditions existing at the time of observation over a large geographical area. They reveal in a few minutes what otherwise would take hours to describe. The United States Weather Bureau issues information about approaching storms, floods, frosts, droughts and all climate conditions in general. Twice a month it issues a 30-day “outlook” which is a rough guide to weather conditions likely to occur over broad areas of the United States. These outlooks are based on an analysis of the upper air levels.
With the use of electronic instruments and satellites, enormous gains have taken place recently in identifying and tracking storms over regions which have but few meteorological stations(气象站).Experiments are also in progress for weather modification studies, although few successful results such as artificial rainmaking have been achieved so far.
小题1: Which is not mentioned in this passage in the following about one characteristic of weather?
A.Fronts.B.Temperature change.C.Wind speed.D.Frost.
小题2:The observation of weather conditions by satellites is advantageous because
_______.
A.it is modern and sophisticated
B.it used electronic instruments
C.it enables man to alter the weather
D.it gives the scientists information not obtained readily otherwise
小题3:The word “interpret” in Paragraph 2 most probably means _______
A.explainB.presentC.modifyD.illustrate

Methods of training animals have changed greatly in recent years. Zoo keepers have always had problems getting the animals to leave their cages in order for the cages to be cleaned, and also training them to move indoors when appropriate. Another problem was that many of the large animals became listless and bored. In the last twenty years, scientists have done research on dolphins and whales, training them to obey commands. The scientists found they could get animals to obey by rewarding them with food and affection when they responded correctly.
Proper training allows the animals to receive the care they need. It was very difficult to get untrained animals, especially the larger ones, to stay still when they needed medical attention. Now they can be trained, on command, to remain still and even to allow blood samples to be taken and shots administered. All this is accomplished through positive reinforcement, without the use of any force. Affection training, as this process is called, has been used with great success on a wide variety of zoo animals. Animal behavior experts have taught zoo keepers to train bears, tigers, monkeys, and many other species to behave in a way that provides for better animal-keeper interaction. This training also keeps the animals from becoming bored and inactive.
Although some people proclaim(谴责) that this training is inhumance and cruel to animals, results have shown that captive(猎获的)animals who previously were not doing well flourish under the new training procedures.
小题1:The word “listless” means _______.
A.countlessB.obedient
C.inactiveD.mysterious
小题2: Which of the following is valid conclusion based on this passage?
A.It is safe to pet any animal. 
B.Many animals respond favorably to rewards and affection.
C.Animals in the wild can be trained.
D.Animals should not be kept in zoos.
小题3:The writer"s purpose is to _______.
A.persuade people not to feed animals in the zoo
B.show how easy it is to train animals
C.explain method of training animals through rewards
D.criticize zoo keepers
小题4:Which of the following is an opinion?
A.Zoo keepers had problems in getting animals to leave their cages.
B.Training is cruel to animals.
C.Animals obey commands if they are trained to do so.
D.Many animals can be trained, on commands, to remain still.
