必修第一册 Unit 1 Teenage Life
Ⅰ.阅读理解
A(★)
On Mondays，two of my children get ready for school in an unusual way.Each packs plenty
of food and water，a pair of rubber boots and sometimes a cup of hot chocolate.Then，I drop them
off at a nearby park where they spend the entire day outside at a certified forest school.
When I first signed them up for forest school program，I loved the idea，but as a mum，I
was concerned about a few things：Would they be comfortable outside for that long？Would they
stay engaged for that many hours？Then I asked them if time ever seemed to move slowly，they
stared at me in confusion.They didn’t understand my question，which fittingly removed it.
In this program，kids direct their own play，climbing tall trees or testing ice on the frozen
lake.They are never told their play is too high or too sharp，but are rather trusted to self-
adjust.Something else my sons appreciate about forest school is not being told to move on to the
next activity，but being left to stay in a particular spot for as long as their curiosity allows.
“What about all the things they’re missing in real school？” concerned parents have
asked me.Neither of their classroom teachers thinks it’s a problem，but most significantly，my
kids are learning new and different skills that a classroom cannot teach.They are learning to sit
silently and observe nature up close—a skill that’s virtually impossible to develop in a noisy and
overcrowded classroom setting.They are making social connections across a broader range of age
groups.They cooperate together，using their different sizes and strengths to fulfill various roles
within their games.
I appreciate it that forest school is shaping my boys’ relationship with the
outdoors.They’re learning how to spend extended periods of time in nature，what to do to pass
the time，and developing knowledge that will get them much closer to nature in the coming
decades.

Fragile.Oversensitive.Glued to their phones.Is this what comes to mind when we think of the
teens of this generation？While this may be true，there might be more to this generation of teens
than what is generally perceived.
Never before have the lives of any generation of teens been as flooded with mobile technology
and social media as the teens of this generation.The popularity of social media has led to a world in
which teens have to participate in Instagram，TikTok and Twitter，or else cause the social anger
of their friends，some of whom communicate primarily via those online platforms.As compared to
their parents or grandparents who were likely less connected and more isolated，these teens are
constantly exposed to the highlight reels (高光时刻) of many in their social circles and beyond.It is
no wonder that the self-esteem and mental health of this generation’s teens have taken a hit.
Moreover，the teens today are more individualistic.This is in contrast to the village spirit of
their parents’ and grandparents’ days.Gone is the friendship among neighbours who are
friendly with one another and quick to offer a helping hand when they see another in need.In its
place，we have teens who may not even have a clue as to who lives in the unit next to theirs，
much less offer a friendly nod or wave when they happen to cross paths with a neighbour.
Yet，the effects of technology on this generation of teens are not all bad.Arguably，the very
connectedness that social media brings about has led to being more progressive.Logging onto
platforms where people of all walks of life gather means that one is exposed to those people and
their distinctive ways of life.In comparison，the parents or grandparents of this generation of teens
probably did not have the same opportunity to get to know people outside of their social circles at
their age，and are thus more likely to have fixed，stereotypical(刻板的) opinions of people
different from them.This generation of teens，on the other hand，has the chance to use this
technology to understand the variety and diversity out there.
5．What does the underlined phrase “have taken a hit” mean in paragraph 2?
A．Have been terribly hurt B．Have improved a lot.
C．Have recovered soon. D．Have been ignored.
6．Which belongs to the village spirit according to paragraph 3?
A．Telephoning your parents regularly. B ． Never saying Hi to your
classmates.C．Sharing your food with neighbours. D．Borrowing money from your
teacher.
7.What good effect does social media have on the teens?
A．They are more ambitious and active.
B．They are more friendly and generous.
C．They are more independent of their parents.
D．They are more open-minded and better informed.
8．How is the text developed?
A．By giving examples. B．By showing statistics.
C．By making comparisons. D．By providing instructions.
