Question

 It is reasonable to say that every teenager can be affected by peer pressure(來自同輩的壓力） at some point. Every day,in any high school, peer pressure has a major influence over the be?havior of teenagers. It can be as subtle(微妙的)as being persuaded to be late for class or as ex?treme as a dangerous drug. Whether subtle or extreme，peer pressure can have damaging，some?times life changing, and even serious results.

  "Teens don't often consider the long-term results that some behavior can cause,”said Terri Price，a researcher. " Peer pressure can be very difficult to handle for many teens because of their fears of not fitting in". Peer pressure has always been part of teen life,but teens experi?ence it differently than their former generations did in the past. Sources of peer pressure have in?creased because of the Internet and other electronic communications.

  Recognizing peer pressure can be as simple as noticing that you have been asked to do something that you are not comfortable with. " Listen to your instinct(直覺)，which is a sign for whether something is right or wrong. If it feels wrong, then most likely it is," said Price.

  Teens are in a time of life when they are still discovering who they are. Many teens are in?fluenced by peer pressure because of their insecurities(不安全感).This can make them helpless especially when their self-control is weak or they lack healthy support,causing them to take risky behavior or turn to unhealthy support.

  Dealing with peer pressure is a topic of concern for teens. People can say, "Just say no," but the truth is that the statement is easier said than done.

Answer 1

1-4 CDAB    

A篇講述了青少年產(chǎn)生來自同輩的壓力的原因、現(xiàn)狀以及影響，并且探討了解決這一現(xiàn)象的途徑。

1. C細節(jié)理解題從第二段"Peer pressure has always been part of teen life, but teens experi?ence it differently than their former generations did in the past."這一句可知，it在此作為指示代詞指代前文的"peer pressure"。

2. D邏輯推理題從第三段開頭可知，是否對被要求做的事情感到難受可作為辨別是否感受到了來自于同輩的壓力的方法，所以選擇D。

3. A細節(jié)理解題從第四段可知青少年還處在認知自我的階段，正是缺乏安全感導致了他們的壓力。

4. B主旨大意題從全文可知，青少年的壓力感是長期普遍存在的，而且從最后一段可知，對這種來自同輩的壓力說"不"是說起來容易做起來難。所以選擇B。
