　　Ⅴ.阅读理解

　　One of our worst nightmares as a parent is finding out that our teenager has started smoking or taking drugs.Usually our first reaction is to be angry，but most of us can remember what it was like when we were at school and just how powerful peer(同龄人)pressure can be.Once we are faced with such a case，we ought to be understanding and supportive and should try to help our children through the problems.

　　Many teenagers are attracted to drugs at some stage in their life and research shows that as many as 15% of all teenagers have tried drugtaking of some sort during their young lives.Besides the usual peer pressure and the constant need to be“cool”or to have“fun”，many teenagers are simply curious about the excitement or“high”they can achieve from taking drugs.That excitement is doubled by the simple fact that they are doing something illegal that we as parents would consider dangerous.

　　On a more serious note，they might be getting into drugs as an escape.Perhaps they are unhappy at school or there have been recent changes at home that may have unsettled them.In this case，drug taking can be more worrying as they may start to rely on it as a form of escapism and start to take drugs more regularly.

　　If you think your child might be smoking or taking drugs，it's best to deal with it straight away.It's easy to turn a blind eye and sweep_the_issues_under_the_carpet in the hope that they'll gradually stop，but without your intervention(干预)，the problem may not disappear.

　　【语篇大意】 本文是一篇写给家长的关于青少年吸烟吸毒原因的分析及对此的建议。

　　1．When parents find that their children are smoking or taking drugs，they should________.

　　A．punish them severely

　　B．talk about it with their teachers

　　C．help them out of the addiction

　　D．let them stay at home and not go to school

　　答案　C　[细节理解题。根据文章第一段“Once we are faced with such a case，we ought to be understanding and supportive and should try to help our children through the problems.”可知家长应理解并帮助孩子戒除烟瘾或毒瘾，故C项正确。]

　　2．Which of the following is NOT a reason why teenagers try taking drugs?

　　A．They are under great peer pressure.

　　B．They think it is cool to take drugs.

　　C．They are unhappy at school.

　　D．They want to stay slim.

　　答案　D　[细节理解题。根据第二段“Besides the usual peer pressure and the constant need to be‘cool'...”可知A、B两项正确；根据第三段“Perhaps they are unhappy at school...”可知C项正确。D项不是青少年尝试毒品的原因。]

　　3．What can be inferred from the text?

　　A．Children whose parents take drugs are more likely to take drugs.

　　B．Children are curious about things they should not do.

　　C．Most students are unhappy at school.

　　D．Children who take drugs will gradually stop themselves.

　　答案　B　[推理判断题。A项在文中没有提及；根据第三段“Perhaps they are unhappy at school”可知文章并未表达大多数学生在学校时不愉快，C项错误；根据最后一段“...without your intervention，the problem may not disappear.”可知D项错误。]

　　4．What does the underlined phrase，“sweep the issues under the carpet”in the last paragraph mean?

　　A．To put off dealing with the matter.

　　B．To punish somebody severely.

　　C．To take quick action.

　　D．To persuade somebody patiently.
