第9课时八年级下册 Units 34一、阅读理解 (xx山东济宁经济开发区一模)Having a teenager at home can be a real headache. Many teenagers smoke, wear strange hairstyle and even fight. Basically(基本上), they are often taking risks.Earlier studies have shown that teenagers are more likely to make irrational decisions than people from any other age group, including children and adults. Is it that teenagers are too young to tell right from wrong? Not really. So whats the reason?According to Laurence, a teacher from a US university, the reason is that teenagers care a lot about how their peers(同龄人) view themthat is “peer influence”As children enter their teenage years, they spend more time with their friends and classmates, and also they care more about what they think of them. This makes teenagers make decisions without thinking about the costs.In a test, a group of teenagers were asked to play a video driving game. When they played with their friends watching around them, they took more chances and drove more carelessly because that would increase their possibility of winning. But when they played alone, they drove more safely.Why do peers have such a big influence on teens behavior?As Laurence sees it, a teenagers brain is like a car with a good accelerator(油门) but a weak brake(刹车). The “accelerator” is fully developed by teenage years while the “brake” is still not fully developed. When teenagers are watched by their peers, they usually push hard on the accelerator. With their weak brake, it is likely that they are going to end up in an accident.But the good news is that a violent(暴力的) teenager doesnt necessarily become a violent adult. About twothirds to threequarters of violent youth grow out of it. They get more selfcontrolled.1What does the underlined word “irrational” in the 2nd paragraph mean?AQuick. BCrazy.CCareful. DCorrect.2Why are teenagers often taking risks according to the text？AThey like difficult tasks.BThey dont care about costs.CThey are too young to tell right from wrong.DThey care a lot about what their peers think of them.3How does Laurence explain the influence of peer influence on teens behavior?ABy using a metaphor(比喻)BBy giving examples.CBy presenting research findings.DBy performing an indepth analysis(分析)4What can we learn from the text?ATeenagers are easy to have traffic accidents.BPeer influence is bad on teenagers.CMost of the teenagers become less violent when they grow up.DTeenagers shouldnt spend all the free time with their friends.二、单词拼写与运用 根据句意完成已给出首字母或汉语提示的单词，使补全后的句子意思通顺，语法正确。1(xx山东济宁鲁桥一中月考)N of my parents liked the movie, but I enjoyed it very much.2(2019原创)The project will p young people in our city with work.3(2019原创)Cheating is not a when having a test, or youll be punished by teachers. 4(xx山东威海中考改编)The boy t a stone at a bird but missed it.5(2019原创)Everyone is different.
