26、 As an internet influencer, there seems to be nothing special about Miquela Sousa. The 19-year-old lives in Los Angeles, US, posts pictures of herself sporting fashionable looks, and has just made her way into the March edition of Vogue magazine. But Miquela isn’t real – she is an electronic character.
Her fans don’t seem to mind – she has 855,000 followers on US social networking platform Instagram. And her first single Not Mine – yes, she “sings” too – also reached No 8 on music streaming (流媒体) platform Spotify last August.
It’s kind of curious that in a time when authenticity (真实性) and “being real” are valued more than ever, “fake” celebrities like Miquela are appreciated and seen as icons (偶像).
Perhaps the reason for Miquela’s popularity lies behind the fame of a similar star, Hatsune Miku. This 16-year-old animated(动画的) singer from Japan has held singing concerts not only in her home country but also in the US and China.
Even though Hatsune’s no more than a 3-D figure projected (投射) onto the stage, her fans are more than willing to pay to actually see her “in person”, because to them, she’s better than human singers. “She’s rather more like a goddess: She has human parts, but she transcends human limitations. She’s the great post-human pop star,” wrote reporter James Verini on Wired magazine.
Critics may say that 3-D stars could never replace humans, but when it comes to being authentic, are humans really the best example of how to do it?
Most of us edit our photos before posting them online, and we tend to create a fantasy that we’re living a perfect life by letting people only see the brighter side of it.
“Miquela is no less real to me than any other internet stranger with whom I’ve interacted,” wrote reporter Leora Yashari on the website Nylon. “Her existence in itself represents a new breed (种类) of influencer – someone who is breaking the boundaries of what is real and what is fake.”
【1】What is the best title of the passage ?
A.A character with animated talents. B.A computer-generated role model.
C.A new sports star with fashionable looks. D.An experienced life-like dancer.
【2】What does the word “ transcend” in paragraph 5 means?
A.take over B.look like C.go beyond D.hold up
【3】What is the purpose of the author when he mentioned Hatsune Miku?
A.To show the similarities 3-D stars share. B.To make a comparison with Miquela Sousa.
C.To explain why 3-D stars are well received. D.To stress how 3-D stars go beyond human limitations.
【4】What message does the passage agree with ?
A.Animated heroes could match the authenticity of humans one day.
B.3-D stars are not as real as human celebrities.
C.Human celebrities have greater influence than animated ones.
D.3-D icons can also be as influential and authentic as humans’.

29、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.
【1】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
【2】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
【3】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.
【4】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.
