专题七、情感情绪
(2017·北京) D
Say you're sitting around with some friends playing video games and someone mentions a game that happens to be one of your favorites. “Oh, that game's easy. So not worth the time,”one of your friends says. The others agree. Although you enjoy the game quite a lot, not wanting
to argue with them, you go along with the crowd. You have just experienced what is commonly referred to as peer pressure(同伴压力)，also called peer influence. You will adopt a certain type of behavior, dress, or attitude in order
to be accepted as part of a group of your “peers”. As a teen, you are likely to have experienced the effect of peer pressure in a number of different areas.
We are all influenced by our peers at any age. For teens, as school and other activities take you away from home, you may spend more time with your friends than with your family.
As you become more independent, your peers naturally play a greater role in your life. According to Dr. Casey from Cornell University, teens are very quick and accurate in making decisions on their own and in situations where they have time to think. However, when they make
decisions in the heat of the moment or in social situations, their decisions are often influenced by factors like peers. In a recent study, teen volunteers played a video driving game, either alone or
with friends watching. The researchers discovered that the number of risks teens took more than doubled when their friends were watching, compared with when they played alone. This shows that teens may find it more difficult to control risky behavior when their friends are around, or in situations where they are extremely angry.
Just as people can influence us to make unwise choices, they can also influence us to make
good ones. A teen might join in a volunteer project because his or her friends are doing it, or get good grades because his or her friends think getting good grades is important. In fact, friends often encourage each other to study, or try out for sports.
While we are always influenced by those around us, the decision to act or not is up to us. So when it comes to decision making, the choice is up to you.
52. According to the passage, Dr. Casey probably agrees that Teens ______.
A. like to play driving games with their friends
B. prefer situations where they have time to think
C. may take more risks when their friends are around
D. are slow in making decisions when they are on their own
53. The words “in the heat of the moment” in Paragraph 4 probably mean __________________".
A. when teens avoid possible risks
B. when teens trust their judgment
C. when teens lose control over their anger
D. when teens give consideration to situations
54. What can we learn from the passage?
A. Teens are eager to be different from their peers
B. Peer pressure has effects on both teens and adults
C. Peer pressure does more harm than good to teens
D. Teens think it challenging to get good grades at school.

When meeting strangers, we usually notice their hair, skin colour and clothes. We like to group those things we don’t know by comparing them with the things we know.
So what’s wrong with this? For example, we think that short boys can’t possibly be good basketball players. The girls who love to be dressed up can’t be excellent students. Or we think shy students can’t be good at giving speeches. These are typical (典型的) examples of stereotypes.
Stereotypes make people form a wrong opinion about others at first sight. In fact, it takes a lot more than just looking at a person to know and understand him or her. The following is my story.
One day, it was snowing, but not heavily. Before class, I collected all the exercise books and sent them to the teachers’ office. The exercise books looked piles in my arms, so I could hardly see the ground. Suddenly, I slipped over (滑倒) and dropped all the exercise books I was carrying.
I tried to stand up but failed, I was about to pick them up when I saw boy coming towards me, it was Mike.
Mike and I had been classmates for over 2 years, but we had never shared more than 5 sentences together. He was a boy with few words, but I liked talking. We were totally different.
I didn’t like him and didn’t want to be seen at that moment.
“Anything serious?” His words brought me out of thoughts. “I saw you sitting on the ground from the back window, so I rushed here. Let me help you!” he helped me up and picked all the exercise books up.
Seeing this, I was so moved that I couldn’t say a single word.
We walked towards the teachers’ office and this time, he talked a lot to me. I found quite a different Mike.
I took a deep breath and said to myself: “I nearly make a big mistake-judging (判断) Mike only by his appearance.”
26. Which of the following is NOT mentioned as typical of stereotypes?
A. Dishonest children can’t be others’ true friends.
B. Shy students can’t be good at giving speeches.
C. Short boys can’t possibly be good basketball players.
D. The girls who love to be dressed up can’t be excellent students.
27. Why did the writer dislike Mike at the beginning?
A. because the writer didn’t know Mike at all.
B. Because Mike didn’t hand in his exercise book.
C. Because the writer thought they weren’t the same type.
D. Because Mike didn’t help the writer collect the exercise books.
28. The writer probably wants to tell us _.
A. we’d better not go outside on snowy days.
B. we should get along well with our classmates.
C. people shouldn’t judge someone at first sight.
D. people with different personalities can’t be friends.
A 题材：生活哲理
【主旨大意】本文是一篇记叙文。人们很容易通过头发、肤色和着装等来判断一个陌生人。例如通过不足的身高判定一个人不能成为优秀篮球运动员，判定喜欢打扮的女孩不是出色的学生等，这是典型的通过思维定势得出的固有印象。文章通过发生在迈克和我之间发生的故事，说明这种通过思维定势来判定某个人往往是错误的。
26. A【解析】综合理解题。通览整篇短文，可知B、C、D三项都出现在了文章里面，A项“不诚实的孩子不可能是别人真正的朋友”没有出现。故选A。
27. C 【解析】细节理解题。根据第六段He was a boy with few words, but I like talking. We were totally different.的描述可推断作者认为他们不是一个类型的人，所以开始时不喜欢对方。故选C。
28. C 【解析】主旨大意题。根据故事描述及最后一段I nearly made a big mistake—judging(判断) Mike only by his appearance.可知作者想告诉我们不要通过第一印象来判断某个人。

“Happy Birthday” has become a cake with lit candles. And “I’m happy” has become a smiling face. Have you ever used emojis? The answer will probably be “Yes”. Nowadays more and more people use emojis to communicate online.

According to a survey of a mobile technology company, 6 billion emojis are used in text messages around the world every day. It is reported that the icon was used often, 20 percent of all emojis used in the UK and 17 percent of those used in the US. It became the most widely-used icon in 2015.
Emojis are now used as a new expression without language barriers, people can understand each other more easily even though they use different languages. Emojis are popular all over the world, especially among the young people, who were born between late 1980s and early 2000s,
because they welcome new technology and new things. And they think emojis are convenient and show meanings beautifully.

But not everyone thinks the use of emojis is a good thing. Jonathan Jones of The Guardian said that the success of emojis is “a step back for humans”, hurting people’s ability to use languages.

My best friend Jenny and I got to the mall for shopping. She held up a white sweater and matching skirt. “Do you like this?” she asked.
“It’s great,” I said. Jenny nodded and continued looking while I moved about, touching the beautiful clothes. “1’ll try this on,” Jenny walked towards the dressing room. After a while, she came out in the outfit (一套衣服). She looked beautiful.
I sighed. Part of me wanted to say how good she looked, but another part stopped the words coming out. Jenny was in such good shape that she’d look good in the outfit. Sometimes, I regretted choosing a best friend who was so pretty. God, why can’t I be the one with the rich parents and the great look? More and more, I was envious (妒忌的) of her.
“Well, Teresa, what do you think?” Jenny asked more than once. “Do you like it?”
The outfit looked great on her, but I lied. “Not really. I think you need something with more colors.”
“You think so?” Jenny said doubtfully.
“Just believe me. We’ll find something better,” I told her, pushing her back into the dressing room. “You just can’t buy the first thing you see.” I did my best to get Jenny out of the store, away from that outfit. As we left, Jenny gave the sweater one last look.
Just down the mall, we passed a yogurt place. “My treat,” Jenny said, pulling out her wallet.
I could never say no to chocolate, so we got some and sat down at a table. As Jenny talked without stopping about a million things, I thought about my feelings toward her. Those feelings weren’t kind.
Sitting there, ▲ Jenny was attractive (吸引人的) not just because of her good luck, but more because of her kindness. Treating me to chocolate was far from her only show of generosity. She also let me drive her car and borrow her clothes.
Finishing our chocolate, we headed for the next clothing store. “Look at that red sweater,”Jenny said as we passed the window. “It would be perfect for you. Soon maybe you’ll have
enough by saving your babysitting money to buy something like that.”
A few minutes earlier, all I had heard was about saving my babysitting money. I had hated the fact that Jenny could ask her parents for anything, and they’d buy it for her. This time, though, I heard more. I heard the voice of someone who loved and cared me for who I was. I needed to express the same to her.
42. Teresa felt ______ when Jenny came out of the dressing room in the new outfit.
A. envious
B. excited
C. lonely
D. comfortable

C. buy herself the red sweater in the next store

The London Marathon has taken place every year since 1981. At the first one, just 6,225 people completed the course, and since then it has grown into one of the most important sporting events in the world. Each winner receives $ 500,000 in prize money.
However, most marathon runners are not professional(专业的). They run to raise money for charities or just as a personal experience. Many people do fun things to make themselves stand out, like wear silly clothes or do things instead of just running.
For example, Tom Harrison took three days just to reach the halfway point, as he was crawling on his hand and knees dressed as gorilla (猩猩), trying to raise money and attention for ‘The Gorilla Organization’.
One exciting part from this year’s race was the story of Jackie and her husband, who got
married on the morning of the marathon. Then they both ran the race, with Jackie doing it in her wedding dress! They were running to raise money for cancer charities, as Jackie was diagnosed (诊断) with cancer three years ago.
Matthew Rees was another runner to inspire (激励) people, as he stopped just before the finish line to help another runner run the last 200m. They did not know each other before, but Matthew saw that David was too tired to finish the race and wanted to help him finish.

When did you last say “I love you” to your father? If you can’t remember, then you can get the chance this Father’s Day on June 18.
Generally compared to a mother’s gentle love, a father represents(代表) qualities like independence(独立), confidence, courage and adventure.
Also, a caring father can help their children get along with others, according to a study on Live Science. Fathers not only lead their children into their social circle but also teach them how to act and control their feelings.
For example, Microsoft founder Bill Gates was quiet and didn’t like to talk with others when he was a little kid. So his father often held family parties and let Bill play games with family members, “Games like soccer and swimming seemed to be silly at that time but they improved my ability of leading and cooperating(合作),” Gates once said in an interview with US Fortune magazine.
US actor Will Smith learned important lessons from small things taught by his father. His father once planned to pull down a wall of their shop and rebuild it. But little Will thought it was impossible. After a year and a half, they did it. “You don’t try to build
a wall. You are going to lay a brick(砖) every day. And soon you have a wall,” he said on TV show Charlie Rase(<查理.罗斯访谈录).
“One father is more than a hundred schoolmasters,”British poet George Herbert(1593-1632) once said. Do you agree?

Last year, I went to Beijing Qizhi Special Education School for community service (社区服务). Before we took the bus, my friend asked me a question: “Why are you here?” I did not know how to answer the question.
The school was not far from my school, but it looked like it was in a different world.
A group of children were waiting for us. A boy walked toward me. He held my hands and pulled
me to the ground. I kissed the earth and tasted nature.
I could not understand what he was doing at first, then I was very angry. Though I was very angry, I controlled my anger.
A teacher stopped this awkward (尴尬的) silence when she shouted at the boy. “What are you doing right here, right now?” she said “You will never see your mom again if you keep doing this. Now, say sorry!”“Sorry,” he cried fearfully and nervously. I said nothing, but I realized something about this child. After lunch I asked the teacher for information about the child’s parents.
She said that the child was very different from other students because of an illness. His family could not afford to treat him. He needed the kindness of his family, but they had abandoned him. So he depended on the support from the teachers and community service workers like us.
I suddenly realized I could answer the question my friend asked me at the beginning of the day.
Community service workers help others and make everyone feel better. There are so many people in the world that need help. Playing with lonely children may not make a big difference. But it can light a corner in the children’s hearts, making them know they are loved by people.
