题目内容

【题目】 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 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 tested for now comes 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 then 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 you 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.

【1】What can we learn from the first paragraph?

B.Social media can’t increase people’s social activities.

B.Social media activities can increase self-esteem and self-worth.

【2】A

【3】D

【4】D

【解析】

本文是一篇说明文。心理学家梅利莎·亨特领导研究了社交媒体和心理健康的关系，研究发现社交媒体的使用与抑郁症的不断增加是有关系的

【1】推理判断题。根据第一段中的The idea that social media is anything but social when it comes to mental health has been talked about for years,可知在心理健康方面，社交媒体不是社交的观念已经讨论了很多年。社交媒体不是社交，这说明社交媒体并不能增加社交活动。故选B项。

【2】细节理解题。根据第二段的第一句话 The study was conducted with 143 participants, who before they began, completed a mood survey可知这项研究是由143位参与者进行的，他们在开始之前就完成了一项情绪调查，也就是参与者首先完成了一项情绪调查，故选A项。

【3】推理判断题。根据最后两段Hunt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.” And these real life activities are the ones that you can encourage self-esteem and self-worth, Hunt added.和“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.可知Hunt认为你在网上度过的每一分钟都是你没有工作，没有与朋友见面或与室友进行深入交谈的一分钟。这些现实生活中的活动，也就是工作，和朋友见面等可以鼓励自尊和自我。她还说人们正在使用他们的设备，而且这不会改变。但是，就像生活中一样，一点控制就能起很大作用。从她的话可以推断出，只要一点控制，也就是控制社交媒体的使用，人们可以改变自己的生活。故选D项。

【4】主旨大意题。由第一段的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.可知本文主要介绍了心理学家梅利莎·亨特关于社交媒体和心理健康的关系的研究以及发现，故选D项。

概括主旨的方法是：先看首尾或各段开头再看全文找主题句，若无明显主题句，就通过关键词句来概括(如议论文中寻找表达作者观点态度的词句，记叙文寻找概括情节和中心的动词或反映人物特点的形容词)。文中出现两种或两种以上的不同观点时，务必牢记作者的观点才是体现全文中心的。该文是介绍一个研究，该类文章的中心一般就在第一段。因此，考生直接抓住第一段中的“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.”即可找到文章中心。

【题目】 My grandmother grew up in a world different from me. She experienced many things in her long life.

Though she never told stories, her stories were in the way she ate — she savored (品味) her food, cherished (珍惜) it. Often she would be the first to sit at the dinner table, and the last to leave. Food had been really scarce (缺乏) when she grew up.

Her stories were in the way she handed me lucky money. From a young age, my grandmother was brought up to understand the importance of hard work and the necessary of saving. Every Chinese New Year, I would be handed, or sent, a small red envelope that contained money, but never more than twenty dollars. When I was young , I didn’t understand why my grandmother gave me such a small amount of money. As I grew older, I realized that she wasn’t teaching me about money, but about tradition and hard work and family. The money was insignificant. I would probably spend it on any toy that I would lose soon after; it was the meaning behind her gift that mattered. It was her saying, “ I love you; I am your family and I want you to work hard as your family has before you.”

My grandmother’s stories were lessons. But they were never told in words. From the time that I was very young, up until she could barely remember my name, I remember her calling me “good girl”. Those two little words, in the course of my growing up, were a constant reminder that I was still so young, with still so far to go.

Now my grandmother is gone, but I see her every day. I see her in the women around me and in the mirror. She lives with me, inside me, and in the legacies(遗产)that I will create. And I know she would be proud.

B.She needed to continually improve herself.

【题目】Standing desks have become common across Silicon Valley, offering health benefits to those willing to work on their feet. However, due to their high price, they have failed to catch on until now. Recently, Ikea has brought out Bekant convertible（可改变的）standing desk that can become a normal desk at the touch of a button. The $500 adjustable desk can transform from a standard desk to a standing one, and Ikea hopes it could make the standing desk mainstream.

Experts say that changing from a seated to a standing desk can improve productivity. Similar desks have become a common sight at tech firms such as Google, where some employees have even installed treadmill (跑步机)and bicycle desks.

The desk is not the first “convertible” on the market. As early as 2013, Stir Kinect brought out an adjustable desk. The $3,890 Stir Kinect desk has a motor to raise and lower itself, converting it into a standing desk or a traditional desk. The desk can even be programmed to move up and down slightly, making it appear to take a gentle breath to remind the user to change their position. To move between sitting and standing positions, owners simply double tap on the screen. The desk can learn the user’s preferences over time and suggest the best seating position.

The Stir Kinect desk was created by a team of ex-Apple and Disney engineers. It has a built-in touch screen to control and track movement, and can tell users exactly how many calories they burn by standing during their working day. It also has devices containing power points and USB ports for charging phones, to keep cables hidden.

“Ikea’s height adjustable desk is great for opening up the lower end of the market, ’’ said JP Labrosse, founder and CEO of Stir.

【1】What is the text mainly about?

A. Ikea has brought out an adjustable standing desk.

B. Silicon Valley offered health benefits to officials.

C. Google formed their tech firms to design bicycle desks.

D. The Stir Kinect desk will become mainstream in the market：

【2】 Which of the following is TRUE according to the text?

A. Before Bekant desk, similar adjustable desks have been widely used.

B. The seated desks will take the place of the standing desks in the future.

C. Compared to the Stir Kinect desk, the Bekant desk is much cheaper.

D. The adjustable desks were designed by the Apple and Disney Company.

【3】The Stir Kinect desk______.

A. can breathe in and breathe out by pressing the button once.

B. can charge phones by using a device containing power point.

C. can tell you how many calories you need for a walk

D. can advise you to do more exercise at a proper time

A. Ikea’s adjustable desk will be popular with average people.

B. Ikea will have to sell furniture at a lower price in the future.

C. This height adjustable table can only be found in Ikea.

D. It is not necessary for Ikea to open up the market at all.

One evening years ago in New York, I sat on a bench in a park and watched a little boy, around 2 years old,【1】 (run) freely on the grass as his mother watched from a short distance away. The boy would fall to the grass,【2】(get) up, and without looking back 【3】his mother, run as fast as he could as if nothing had happened.

When kids fall down, they don’t think of the fall as a failure. Instead, they consider【4】as a learning experience. They try again and again until they succeed. While I【5】(touch) by the boy’s strong mind, I was also touched by the way he ran. With each attempt, he looked so confident and natural. He only wanted to run【6】(free) and to do it as 【7】(good) as he could. He was just being a child—just being himself—being completely in the moment. He never gave up. Each time he【8】(fall), he got himself back up again, as if he knew that falling down was simply a part of life. He was not looking for others’ smiles, or worrying about【9】someone was watching or not. He only wanted to run and to feel the experience of running fully and freely.

I learned a lot from that experience, and have successfully brought that lesson with me in many【10】(part) of my life.

When I was in high school, most of my friend had bicycles. I hoped I could also have it. One day I saw a bicycle，that was only one hundred yuan. I asked my father the money. But he said he could only give me half of the money. He should find the other half myself. So I went to sell newspapers afterschool. My father was pleased if I showed him the money a month after. He gives me the other fifty. You can imagine how much happy I was when I rode to school by my own bicycle.
