University of Pennsylvania researchers say that for the first time they have linked social media use to increases in depression and loneliness. The idea that social media is anything but social when it comes to mental health has been talked about for years, but not many studies have managed to actually link the two. To do that, Penn researchers, led by psychologist Melissa Hunt, designed a study that focused on WeChat, Snapchat and Instagram.
The study was conducted with 143 participants, who before they began, completed a mood survey and sent along photos of their battery screens, showing how often they were using their phones to access social media. "We set out to do a much more complete study which attempts to imitate real life." Hunt said.
The study divided the participants into two groups: The first group was allowed to maintain their normal social media habits. The other, the control group, was restricted to 10 minutes per day on social media. The restrictions were put in place for three weeks and then the participants returned and were tested for outcomes such as fear of missing out, anxiety, depression and loneliness.
The results showed a very clear link between social media use and increased levels
of depression and loneliness. "Using less social media than you normally do would lead to significant decreases in both depression and loneliness," Hunt said.
Social media invites what Hunt calls "downward social comparison." "When you're online, it can sometimes seem that everyone else is cooler and having more fun and included in more things and you're left out," Hunt said. And that's just generally discouraging. "Every minute you spend online is a minute you are not doing your work or not meeting a friend for dinner or having a deep conversation with your roommate." And these real life activities are the ones that can encourage self﹣esteem and self﹣worth, Hunt added.
"People are on their devices, and that's not going to change," she said. But as in life, a bit of control goes a long way.
4. Before the study was conducted, the participants completed a survey to .
A. imitate people's real life
B. link loneliness to depression
C. show their use of social media
D. prove social media is important
5. The results of the study showed using less social media would result in .
A. people's fear of missing out
B. higher levels of depression
C. obvious relief in loneliness
D. lower levels of happiness
6. In Hunt's opinion, which activity benefits more to mental health?
A. Hiking out with friends.
B. Making comparison with others.
C. Playing computer games in spare time.
D. Logging onto social media and having fun.
7. Which can be the best title of the passage?
A. A Study on Social Media.
B. How to Improve Mental Health.
C. People Addicted to Social Media.
D. Social Media Influences Mental Health.
【答案】4. C 5. C 6. A 7. D
【解析】
本文是一篇说明文,社交媒体的使用与抑郁症的不断增加是有紧密联系的,由此可以看出:社交媒体影响心理健康。
【4题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段第一句The study was conducted with 143 participants,who before they began,completed a mood survey and sent along photos of their battery screens,showing how often they were using their phones to access social media.可知这项研究是由143名参与者进行的,在他们开始之前,他们完成了一项情绪调查,并发送了照片,显示他们使用手机访问社交媒体的频率。所以这项调查展示他们对社交媒体的使用,所以选C。
【5题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段句子第二句"Using less social media than you normally do would lead to significant decreases in both depression and loneliness"可知使用比平时少的社交媒体会导致抑郁和孤独感显著降低。所以答案选C。
【6题详解】
推理判断题。根据倒数第二段Hunt说的话“Every minute you spend online is a minute you are not doing your work or not meeting a friend for dinner or having a deep conversation with your roommate.”可知现实生活中的活动可以鼓励自尊和自我价值。可见和朋友一起远足对精神健康有好处,故选A。
【7题详解】
标题归纳题。根据文章第一句“University of Pennsylvania researchers say that for the first time they have linked social media use to increases in depression and loneliness.”可知本文通过把社交媒体的使用与抑郁症和孤独感的增加联系起来进行研究,得出最终的结论:社交媒体影响心理健康。所以选项D符合主旨。故选D。
C
In a recent series of experiments at the University of California, researchers studied toddlers’ thinking about winners and losers, bullies (欺凌) and victims.
In the first experiment, toddlers (学步儿童) watched a scene in which two puppets
(木偶) had conflicting goals: One was crossing a stage from right to left, and the other from left to right. The puppets met in the middle and stopped. Eventually one puppet bowed down and moved aside, letting the other one pass by. Then researchers asked the toddlers which puppet they liked. The result: 20 out of 23 toddlers picked the higher-status puppet — the one that did not bow or move aside. It seems that individuals can gain status for being dominant (占优势的) and toddlers like winners better than losers.
But then researchers had another question: Do toddlers like winners no matter how they win? So, researchers did another experiment very similar to the one described above. But this time, the conflict ended because one puppet knocked the other down and out of the way. Now when the toddlers were asked who they liked, the results were different: Only 4 out of 23 children liked the winner.
These data suggest that children already love a winner by the age of 21-31 months. This does not necessarily mean that the preference is inborn: 21 months is enough time to learn a lot of things. But if a preference for winners is something we learn, we appear to learn it quite early.
Even more interesting, the preference for winners is not absolute. Children in our study did not like a winner who knocked a competitor down. This suggests that already by the age of 21-31 months, children’s liking for winners is balanced with other social concerns, including perhaps a general preference for nice or helpful people over aggressive ones.
In a time when the news is full of stories of public figures who celebrate winning at all costs, these results give us much confidence. Humans understand dominance, but we also expect strong individuals to guide, protect and help others. This feels like good news.
8. One of the purposes of the experiments is to ________.
A. teach toddlers how to gain higher status
B. offer toddlers a chance to watch a scene
C. observe the process of toddlers’ solving a conflict
D. find out toddlers’ attitude toward winners and losers
9. The toddlers regarded bowing and moving aside as a sign of ________.
A. obeying rules
B. gaining status
C. giving in to the other
D. showing good manners
10. What does the second experiment tell us about toddlers?
A. They are excellent learners.
B. They are always changeable.
C. They show mercy to the loser.
D. They value kindness over winning.
11. What does the author think of the results of the series of experiments?
A. Disappointing. B. Encouraging.
C. Unexpected. D. Controversial.
【答案】8. D 9. C 10. D 11. B
【解析】
【分析】
本文是一篇说明文,介绍了研究人员进行了一系列的试验研究幼儿对赢家和输家、欺凌者和受害者的态度。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段中的“researchers studied toddlers’ thinking about winners and losers, bullies (欺凌) and victims.”可知,研究人员研究了幼儿对赢家和输家、欺凌者和受害者的看法,由此可知,试验的其中一个目的是查明幼儿对赢家和输家的态度,故D项正确。
【9题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中的“The result: 20 out of 23 toddlers picked the higher-status puppet — the one that did not bow or move aside. It seems that individuals can gain status for being dominant (占优势的) and toddlers like winners better than losers.”可知,23名幼儿中有20名选择了地位较高的玩偶,即不鞠躬也不让开的玩偶,似乎每个人都可以通过占优势而获得地位,幼儿更喜欢赢家而不是输家,由此可知,幼儿把鞠躬和让开看作是向对方屈服的标志,故C项正确。
【10题详解】
细节理解题。根据倒数第二段中的“Children in our study did not like a winner who knocked a competitor down. This suggests that already by the age of 21-31 months, children’s liking for winners is balanced with other social concerns, including perhaps a general preference for nice or helpful people over aggressive ones.”可知,第二个试验中孩子不喜欢击倒对方的赢家,这表明到21-31个月大时,孩子们对赢家的喜爱已经与其他社会问题相平衡,其中包括对友善或乐于助人的人的普遍偏爱,而不是好斗的人,由此可知,第二个试验表明21-31个月大的孩子看重友善胜过获胜,故D项正确。
【11题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“these results give us much confidence.”(这些结果给了我们很大的自信)及“This feels like good news.”(这听起来是个好消息)可知,作者认为试验结果是令人鼓舞的,故B项正确。
【点睛】涉及到观点态度的推理判断题难度较大,文章一般不会直接标明作者的态度,需要我们根据措辞的褒贬来揣摩作者的态度,例如本篇第4题,根据最后一段中的“these results give us much confidence.”可知,这些结果给了我们很大的自信,再根据“This feels like good news.”可知,这听起来是个好消息,“confidence”和“good”表明了作者认为试验结果是令人鼓舞的。
D
Nasr Majid started hunting this fall at Blackwater National Wildlife Refuge (保护区)on the Eastern Shore of Maryland in USA, He’s one of the relatively few new hunters who officials hope will help stop a nearly four-decade decline nationally in what has become a hobby for fewer than 5 percent of Americans.
Natural resources and wildlife, officials in Maryland are encouraging hunting of deer, turkeys and some other wild animals, which is believed to be good for the environment. Without hunting, they say, sika deer will overpopulate the wildlife refuge and they’ll overeat the bushes and other plants that provide important habitat for birds. On the western shore of the Chesapeake Bay, hunting is also important to prevent the spread of diseases such as Lyme.
In many families, the hunting tradition has been handed down for generations^ But as longtime sportsmen age and children lose interest, the number of hunters in
the United States fell by 2 million, from 2011 to 2018, to about 11 million.
“Everything is changing. Kids are growing up in front of video games and computers instead of going hunting.” said Chris Markin, a hunting specialist for the state natural resources department. “Adults usually focus on working and providing for their families. Those pressures are preventing many other potential hunters from going out, and from raising the next generation of hunters.”
To avoid such a decline, a new approach is needed. Government agencies and nonprofit groups are now launching mentoring (指导) programs to train more hunters, which not only helps preserve an industry and a culture but also means more protection for wildlife and their habitats through deer population control and investment.
Luckily, there are those still eager to learn, like Majid. He was just looking for an outdoor hobby he could share with his children when he came across the mentors-hip program. Now, he feels capable of hunting on his own, but also has someone he can text with questions that pop up. His new pastime has already paid off for him—on his second hunt with his mentor, in the last minutes of daylight, he bagged his first deer.
12. What can be inferred from Chris Markin’s words?
A. No one is interested in hunting any more.
B. Hunting adds to many adults’ life pressures.
C. Parents fail to spend enough time with kids.
D. The hunting tradition is facing challenges.
13. In this passage, Nasr Majid is considered as a symbol of ________. .
A. bravery B. hope
C. enthusiasm D. devotion
14. What does the underlined words “new pastime” refer to?
A. Learning to hunt. B. Raising questions.
C. Looking for hunters. D. Sharing a new hobby.
15. What does the text mainly tell us?
A. Teach hunters new skills. B. Preserve a great tradition.
C. Make hunting more popular. D. Reduce the pressure of life.
【答案】12. D 13. B 14. A 15. C
【解析】

【解析】
【分析】
本文是一篇说明文,介绍了世界上最长的跨海大桥——港珠澳大桥。
【41题详解】
考查形式主语。句意:用了十多年的时间来建造它。分析句子结构可知,此处为形式主语,真正的主语是后面的不定式,故填It。
【42题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:珠江三角洲建造了一些人工岛,为大桥提供支撑。此处表示目的,应该用不定式作目的状语,故填to provide。
【43题详解】
考查冠词。句意:大桥中间有一条6.7公里长的水下隧道,允许船只通过珠江三角洲。tunnel是可数名词,此处表示泛指,故填a。
【44题详解】
考查非限定性定语从句。句意参考上题解析,关系词指代先行词tunnel,在非限定性定语从句中作主语,故填which。
【45题详解】
考查副词。句意:这座大桥将大大缩短从中国大陆到香港和澳门的时间。修饰动词cut用副词,故填greatly。
【46题详解】
考查时态。句意:到2030年,每天将有多达29,000辆车通过这条海上通道。根据时间状语可知此处表示将来发生的事情,应该用一般将来时,故填will cross。
【47题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:香港的商品和贸易往来将更加便利,吸引更多的企业,因此这座大桥对香港经济有利。Hong Kong 与attract之间是逻辑上的主谓关系,表示主动,用现在分词作结果状语,表示一种自然而然的结果,故填attracting。
【48题详解】
考查形容词。句意参考上题解析,be beneficial to表示“对……有利”,故填beneficial。
【49题详解】
考查名词。句意:然而,除非有特别许可证,否则车主不能开车过桥。owner是可数名词,此处用复数表泛指,故填owners。
【50题详解】
考查形容词。句意:与开车相比,这要便宜得多。根据“Compared with”可知此处使用形容词比较级,故填cheaper。
【点睛】解答定语从句和非限定定语从句分两步走,一是找准先行词,二是判断关系词在从句中所作的成分,例如本篇第4题,分析句子结构可知,先行词为tunnel,指物,关系词在非限定性定语从句中作主语,that不能引导非限定性定语从句,故填which。

第二处:考查时态。句意参考上题解析,此处表示现在正在发生的事情,应该用现在进行时,故was改为is。

I am looking forward to your reply.

第三步:连词成句
In order to know more about the children of the Children Welfare Institute, we students plan to go there on New Year’s Day.
As a monitor I’m writing to invite you to come with us, representing all the students.
The following is our schedule.
First, we will leave school by bus at 7:00 a.m. and return at 5:00 p.m.
After lunch we will hold many meaningful and interesting activities, such as giving gifts, giving performances, playing games with them and so on.
I sincerely hope that you can join us and I do believe that you will have a meaningful day with us.

第五步:修改润色(加入高级词汇或短语)
【点睛】范文内容完整,要点全面,语言规范,语篇连贯,词数适当,上下文意思连贯,符合逻辑关系。作者在范文中使用了一些主从复合句,例如:After lunch, there will be many activities, such as giving gifts, giving performances, playing games with them. etc., which will be not only meaningful but also interesting.句中which引导非限制性定语从句。I sincerely hope that you can join us and I have the confidence that you’ll have a joyful and meaningful day then.
句中第一个that引导宾语从句,第二个that引导同位语从句。文章中长难句的使用,为文章增色添彩。
