22、Picture this: you’re between video meetings, and skimming your social media. Headlines like “Death rate continues to rise”, and “COVID-19 may cause long-term health risks” flash across your screen. Your mood takes a dive, but you can’t stop.
If this rings true for you, you’re not alone. Research on the effects of bad news on mood suggests exposure to negative COVID news is likely to be harmful to our stable emotion. For instance, one study conducted in March 2020 involving more than 6,000 Americans found that the more time participants spent consuming COVID news in a day, the unhappier they felt.
To find out more, researchers conducted a study where they showed hundreds of people real-world content on either Twitter or YouTube for two to four minutes. The Twitter feeds and YouTube videos featured either general news about COVID, or news about kindness during COVID. Researchers then measured these participants’ moods using a questionnaire, and compared their moods with participants who did not engage with any content at all.
The result was shocking. People who were shown general COVID-related news experienced lower moods than people who were shown nothing at all. Meanwhile, people who were shown COVID news stories involving acts of kindness didn’t experience the same decline in mood, but also didn’t gain the boost in mood they’d predicted.
These findings suggest that spending as little as two to four minutes consuming negative news about COVID-19 can have a harmful impact on our mood. Although researchers didn’t see an improvement in mood among participants who were shown positive news stories involving acts of kindness, this may be because the stories were still related to COVID. In other researches, positive news stories have been associated with improvements in mood.
So what can we do to look after ourselves, and make our time on social media more pleasant? One option is to delete our social media accounts altogether. Figures show almost half of Facebook users in the UK and the US considered leaving the platform in 2020. Or it may be more realistic to seek out or spread content that makes you happy. This may be images of cute kittens, beautiful landscapes, delicious food videos or something else.
【1】What does paragraph 3 mainly tell us about the research?
A．The conclusion.
B．The reason.
C．The procedure.
D．The problem.
【2】What news on smart phones can better our mood according to the text?
A．A brave Chinese teacher saved a drowning boy.
B．Japanese volcanic eruption killed many people.
C．A big fire broke out in French St Paul’s Cathedral.
D．Beijing Olympic Committee held a press conference.
【3】What can we learn from the text?
A．People feel negative because of the news online.
B．Positive stories greatly improved participants’ mood.
C．Research shows COVID news may make people feel sad.
D．50% of the Facebook users have stopped using Facebook.
【4】Which of the following can be the best title for the text?
A．COVID-19 and Health Risks
B．Proper Ways to Use Social Media
C．Social Media’s Effect on Our Mood
D．Virtual Social Media and Real World
23、Among the constant adjustive education standards and requirements, it’s important to ask a question: exactly what do we want in a high school graduate?
Some people think the goal is to enter college and earn a bachelor’s degree. Others find that interpretation too narrow, preferring that young people leave school with the skills to move into living-wage jobs. But one thing many people can embrace is that high school graduates are skilled in basic math and English.
A proposed law, House Bill 1308,could ruin that goal. Students must do the following things to get a diploma: earn 24 credits of coursework; complete a High School and Beyond Plan matching those courses; meet one requirement of a series of “graduation pathways”. The problem is that these pathways don’t work for all kids.
In large part, that’s because they guide students toward college standards. Last year, after surveying nearly 1,000 students, researchers discovered that 18% of students said they were “not good” at math, and 33% said they were poor test-takers. For them, the current pathways are a barrier because of their emphasis on these skills.
The new pathway is instead focused on performance. It would allow kids to create a presentation—say an exhibit or report — demonstrating mastery of two core subjects, but not necessarily math or English. When the bill came up for discussion, over 350 people showed their support, because it’s possible that through the performance pathway, a student could create a project emphasizing mastery in “fine arts” and “health and fitness”. Rep. Sharon favors the proposal. In a hearing, she spoke of her granddaughter, who wrote and self-published a novel while still in school, to illustrate the kind of project is workable. While Tafona Ervin worries that the lack of emphasis on math and English could lead students to graduate without solid skills.
If the purpose of education is to ensure that young people are prepared to pursue a fulfilling life, finishing school uncertain of one’s abilities in math and English weakens education’s goal.
【1】Why is the question mentioned in the first paragraph?
A．To make an argument.
B．To introduce the topic.
C．To raise an education problem.
D．To clarify a concept.
【2】How many items does House Bill 1308require for high school students to graduate?
A．One.
B．Two.
C．Three.
D．Four.
【3】How does the writer make his points persuasive in Para.4?
A．By making comparisons.
B．By offering statistics.
C．By providing suggestions.
D．By doing experiments.
【4】What does the author think of House Bill 1308?
A．Workable.
B．Effective.
C．Awful.
D．Reasonable.
24、 Before she leaves home in San Francisco, California, Jennifer Schaefer, puts on long sleeves and a big hat she calls her “personal umbrella.” With her fair skin, red hair, memories of bad childhood sunburn, and a family history of skin cancer, Schaefer is painfully aware of the danger of exposure to ultraviolet(紫外线) radiation, which accounts for the vast majority of skin cancers.
So she finds it unbelievable how few people bother with sun safety, with most preferring sun worship to sun protection. “In our culture, it’s almost funny to be too protected,” she says, highlighting the way her friends tease her when she puts on her bathing suit-a protective 'rash guard' top and knee-length board shorts.＂We're slowly starting to become aware of the long-term effects of the sun, but it's like global warming-people are not going to make serious changes until they feel a direct impact."
That impact has helped push Australians, who are famous for sun loving, into changing their behavior. With its high solar ultraviolet levels and mostly fair-skinned population, Australia has the highest rate of skin cancer in the world. But after decades of increase, the melanoma(黑色瘤) rate began to stay at a steady level in the mid-1990s.The incidence of melanoma among young people's is now falling, as national surveys show that most Australians-more than 70% of adults and 55%of adolescents-no longer prefer a tan(棕褐色).
A 2013 study shows that, in addition to Australis, a handful of countries-notably New Zealand, Canada, Israel, Norway, the Czech Republic(for women)and the United States(for white men)-have melanoma rates that are declining or stabilizing among young people.
Back in San Francisco, Jennifer Schaefer is doing her best to educate the next generation. Her eldest daughter automatically puts on a hat to go outside. “Habits really start in children-it is like brushing your teeth,” she says.
【1】By describing Schaefer's bathing suit, the author suggests that Schaefer_____.
A.does not mind the teasing by her friends
B.attaches great importance to sun protection
C.goes to extreme measures to avoid the sun
D.is more interested in surfing than sunbathing
【2】What do New Zealand and Canada have in common?
A.Sun protection programs are developing quickly.
B.Their citizens prefer to be pale rather than get tanned.
C.Skin cancer rates are not increasing among the young.
D.Women and white men have the lowest rates of melanoma.
【3】What function does the final sentence have?
A.It makes the conclusion more meaningful.
B.It makes a complex concept easier to understand.
C.A serious topic is made more cheerful and attractive.
D.A familiar example supports the point made by the author.
【4】What's the purpose of the text?
A.To help individuals know how to make medical decisions.
