Teens spend more time with their peers. With peers, teens can be both connected and independent and develop identities of their own. While families may help teens in feeling proud and confident, peers are often more accepting of their feelings and thoughts.‎ The influence of peers is of great importance in your teen's life. Whether you like it or not, the opinions of your child's peers often carry more weight than yours.‎ At its best, peers can act as positive role models. Peer pressure can arouse your teen's enthusiasm, mobilize your teen's energy, and encourage your teen to follow healthy behavior.‎ The need for acceptance and belonging is vital during the teen years. Teens who feel isolated or rejected by their peers are more likely to engage in risky behavior in order to fit in with a group. In such situations, peer pressure can weaken a teen's judgment and contribute to unhealthy behavior. If your teen associates with people who are using drugs or displaying selfdestructive behavior, then your child is probably doing the same.‎ We all want our children to be with peers who will have a positive influence, and stay away from peers who will engage in harmful or illegal activities.‎ Parents can support positive peer relationships by giving their teenagers their love and time. First of all, you should have a positive relationship with your teen. When parentteen interactions are characterized by warmth, kindness, respect, and love, the relationship will flourish, so will the teen's selfesteem, mental health and social skills. Second, you should be interested in your teen's activities. This allows parents to know their teen's friends and to monitor their behavior, which is important in keeping teens out of trouble. Last but not the least, you should urge your teens to think for himself or herself. In this way, teens can develop a healthy sense of self and an ability to resist unhealthy peer pressure.‎ ‎【解题导语】　本文阐述了同龄人对青少年的影响，并给父母提出了三条建议来帮助孩子建立积极的同龄人友谊。‎ 7‎ ‎1．The underlined word “peers” in Paragraph 1 refers to people who .‎ A．are of the same age B．are equal in rank C．are more powerful D．are of the opposite sex 解析：选A　词义猜测题。根据一字线前面的解释“people their own age”可知，peers指“同龄人”。‎ ‎2．The passage is intended for .‎ A．teachers　　　　　　 B．teens C．parents D．friends 解析：选C　推理判断题。文章多处提到your teen，再根据第五段第一句中的“We all want our children to”可推知，这篇文章是写给父母的。‎ ‎3．What is mainly talked about in the third paragraph?‎ A．Peer pressure can arouse your teen's enthusiasm.‎ B．Peers can have a good effect on your teen.‎ C．What effect do peers have on your teen?‎ D．You can become a role model of your teen.‎ 解析：选B　段落大意题。根据本段的主题句“At its best, peers can act as positive role models.”可知，本段主要讲同龄人对青少年的积极影响。‎ ‎4．According to the passage, parents can support positive peer relationships by the following EXCEPT .‎ A．encouraging your teen to think creatively B．involving yourself in your teen's activities C．encouraging your teen to think independently D．cultivating a positive relationship with your teen 解析：选A　细节理解题。作者在最后一段给父母提了三个方面的建议：与子女建立良好的关系；积极参与子女的活动；培养子女独立思考的能力，只有A项没有提到。‎ B Petrol and diesel cars may still dominate our roads，but their days are numbered. A recent university study found that current electric cars could be used for 87 per cent of daily car journeys in the US. That figure could rise to 98 per cent by 2020.‎ One hurdle to the widespread adoption of electric cars has been “range anxiety”—drivers' concerns about running out of juice on a journey. While petrol 7‎ ‎ stations are conveniently located across national road systems，the necessary network of electric charging stations is still being developed. That said，charging points are becoming increasingly common throughout the USA.‎ Attitudes towards electric vehicles have changed quite considerably over the last few years. Not that long ago，electric cars were met with distrust，and their large price tags drove customers away. Thanks to improvements in battery capacity，recharging times，performance and price，the current generation of electric cars is starting to persuade critics. Plugin cars will soon give internal combustion engine models a run for their money.‎ As well as advancements on the road，electric vehicles are taking to the seas and skies. Electric boats are among the oldest methods of electric travel，having enjoyed several decades of popularity from the late 19th to the early 20th century before petrolpowered outboard motors took over. Now，the global drive for renewable energy sources is bringing electric boats back. Steps towards electric air travel are also being made，with Airbus and NASA among the organizations developing and testing battery powered planes. The experiments could soon make commercial electric flight a reality.‎ Electric vehicles do not produce any emissions. Were the US to act on the study's findings and replace 87 per cent of its cars with electric vehicles，it would reduce the national demand for petrol by 61 per cent. However，because of the production processes and the generation of electricity required to charge these vehicles，they cannot claim to be completely emissionfree.That said，as many countries continue to increase their use of renewable energy sources，electric vehicles will become even cleaner.‎ ‎【解题导语】　本文是一篇说明文，主要介绍了汽油和柴油车将逐步被电动汽车代替以及电动交通工具在未来的发展。‎ ‎5．Which is the best title for this passage?‎ A．My Dream Car B．History of Electric Cars C．Problems with Petrol Cars D．Driving into the Future 解析：选D　标题归纳题。通读全文可知，本文介绍了汽油和柴油车将逐步被电动汽车代替以及电动交通工具在未来的发展。D项“驶向未来”形象地概括了文章的主旨，故选D项。‎ 7‎ ‎6．As used in Paragraph 2，the underlined word “hurdle” means .‎ A．aim　　　　　 B．barrier C．consequence D．step 解析：选B　词义猜测题。根据第二段中的“drivers' concerns about running out of juice on a journey”可知，司机担心在路上没电的问题。因此，这是电动汽车普及的一个障碍，故选B项。‎ ‎7．In the past，why did many people refuse to buy the electric cars?‎ A．They were not good value.‎ B．They were very poorly made.‎ C．They were not widely promoted.‎ D．They couldn't travel at a high speed.‎ 解析：选A　细节理解题。根据第三段中的“Not that long ago，electric cars were met with distrust，and their large price tags drove customers away.”可知，人们是被当时这种电动汽车的价格吓跑的；根据该段中的“Thanks to improvements in battery capacity，recharging times，performance and price，the current generation of electric cars is starting to persuade critics.”可知，随着电池容量、可充电次数的增加、汽车性能的改善和价格的优化，这一代电动汽车已经开始吸引消费者购买了。这说明以前的电动汽车在各方面还不够完善，人们认为性价比不高。故选A项。‎ ‎8．What is the function of Paragraph 4?‎ A．To introduce the history of electric travel.‎ B．To explain why the world needs more electric cars.‎ C．To show why more people have interest in electric cars.‎ D．To describe diffferent ways electric vehicles can be used.‎ 解析：选D　段落大意题。根据第四段中的“electric vehicles are taking to the seas and skies”可知，除了在公路上，其他地方也可以使用电动交通工具，故选D项。‎ Ⅳ.七选五 How to Pick a Great Book to Read The world is full of great books，just waiting to be read.
