21、 A few years ago, I started to notice big shifts in teens’ behavior. Around 2010, teens started to spend their time much differently from the generations before. These teens and young adults all have one thing in common: Their childhood or adolescence coincided with the rise of the smart phone. For this reason, I call them iGeneration.
What makes iGen different? Growing up with a smartphone has affected nearly every aspect of their lives. They spend so much time on the Internet, texting friends and on social media that they have less leisure time for everything else. Whether it’s going to parties, shopping at the mall, or watching movies, iGen teens are participating in these social activities at a significantly low rate.
Some parents might worry about their teens spending so much time on their phones because it differs from the way they spent their own adolescence. But it is not just different——in many ways, it’s actually worse. Spending less time with friends means less time to develop social skills. A 2014 study found that sixth graders who spent just five days at a camp without using screens ended the time better at reading emotions on others’ faces, suggesting that iGen’s screen-filled lives might cause their social skills to shrink.
In addition, in the annual Monitoring the Future survey, the percentage of iGen teens who read a non required book every day dropped from 60 percent in 1980 to only 16 percent in 2015. Perhaps as a result, average SAT critical reading scores have dropped 14 points since 2005.
iGen shows another break with the previous generations; Depression, anxiety, and loneliness have shot upward with happiness declining. The teen suicide rate increased by more than 50 percent, as did the number of teens with clinical—level depression.
Parents used to worry about their teens spending too much time with their friends—they were a distraction, a bad influence, a waste of time. But it might be just what iGen needs now.
【1】How are iGen teens different from the, generations before?
A.They are more skillful in high-tech products. B.They stay in close contact with friends.
C.They prefer to live a virtual life than a real one. D.They spend their adolescence with smartphones.
【2】Why is the “annual Monitoring the Future survey” mentioned in paragraph 4?
A.To stress the importance of reading the required books.
B.To explain the reason why iGeneration reads less.
C.To introduce the extracurriculum reading situation of iGeneration.
D.To show the influence of reading on iGen teenagers’ mental health.
【3】What is the fifth paragraph mainly about?
A.Depression and anxiety are the common symptoms of mental problems.
B.Mental problems can be found in large numbers of iGen teens.
C.Net-addicted teenagers are more likely to suffer from mental problems.
D.iGen teens’ mental problems are getting more and more attention.
【4】What can be a suitable title for the text?
A.How the Smartphone Affected an Entire Generation of Kids?
B.Parents Are Getting Serious about Teen Smartphone Addiction.
C.Smartphones for Teens: Smart or Stupid?
D.Smartphones Are Changing iGen Teen’s Lifestyle.
22、When Becca Cotugno ties her running shoes in the morning, she’s not alone. In her wake are eight students who have called themselves the “Speed Crew”.
Cotugno created the running program to share her passion with students at Alma del Mar Charter School in New Bedford, Massachusetts. With support from her school’s headmaster and executive director, Cotugno started the Speed Crew last fall. “I’ve read articles about how exercise is really good for kids with ADHD (注意缺陷障碍). I thought it’d be a great thing to bring to school,” she said, trying to convince them.
Every morning, eight kids put aside 30 minutes before class to get in their miles. After a short warm-up, Cotugno and her crew run 0.2-mile loops (圈) around the school, logging (行进) as many laps as they’d like. The students have learned that five laps can equal one mile and on Friday the group tallies up their weekly miles. Any student who runs more than five miles that week earns a medal. Cotugno says her race medals earned from over the years could “fill a house”, so she gives them away to the high-mileage students. Her parents, also runners, have contributed some of their medals, too.
Since the introduction of the program, Cotugno and her colleagues have seen marked improvements in behavior and academics of the Speed Crew members.
Research also supports the use of physical activity in children who struggle with being able to focus. A study published in Pediatrics found that children who exercised often had more white matter in their brains than children who were less fit. White matter is important when it comes to attention and memory.
In the future, Cotugno hopes she will be able to increase the size of the Speed Crew. Right now she’s the only adult involved with the program, which requires her to keep the club small. Along with growing membership at Alma del Mar Charter School, she hopes she can inspire other schools to adopt similar programs.
【1】How did Cotugno win her school officials’ support for her program?
A．By citing published writings.
B．By presenting doctors’ advice.
C．By recalling her own experience.
D．By taking part in the program herself.
【2】What does the underlined part “tallies up” in Paragraph 3 mean?
A．Matches up with.
B．Makes up for.
C．Adds up.
D．Sets up.
【3】What can we infer about athletic children from the study in Pediatrics?
A．They have a wider range of interests.
B．They tend to be more focused in class.
C．They suffer memory problems more often.
D．They have less white matter in their brains.
【4】What does Cotugno expect of the Speed Crew?
A．It can have an adult member club.
B．It can include more group activities.
C．It can be expanded beyond her school.
D．It can obtain support from other schools.
23、A study by Stockholm University and ETH Zurich scientists found that all rainwater on Earth is unsafe to drink due to the levels of PFAS (全氟烷基物质), or poisonous chemicals. These PFAS or poisonous chemicals are becoming a part of a future reality that humans must, unfortunately, learn to live with. PFAS were first found in shampoo, packaging, and even makeup but have begun to spread into our Earth. A professor at Stockholm University and lead author of the study, Ian Cousins noted, “There is nowhere on Earth where-the rain would be safer to drink, according to the measurements that we have taken.”
Using their study’s data, Cousins and his team illustrated that chemical levels in rainwater from remote areas are unsafe and above the US Environmental Protection. Agency’s (EPA) drinking water guidelines. Within this study, they took rainwater samples, from extremely remote areas like Antarctica or the Tibetan plateau. Although these areas are originally known as being remote and untouched, their PFAS levels are around 14 times higher than the US EPA guidelines.
PFAS have been associated with a range of serious health problems including cancer, childhood behavioral and learning problems, immune system disorders, and high cholesterol (胆固醇): Cousins continued by saying, “Based on the latest US guidelines for PFOA (全氟辛酸) in drinking water, rainwater everywhere would be judged unsafe to drink. Although in the industrial world we don’t often drink rainwater, many people around the world expect it to be safe to drink and it supplies many of our drinking water sources.”
Managing Director of the Food Packaging Forum, Dr Jane Muncke, said, “The vast amounts that it will cost to reduce PFAS in drinking water to levels that are safe based on current scientific understanding need to be paid by the industries producing and using these chemicals. The time to act is now.”
【1】Which of the following is true about PFAS?
A．They were initially found in rainwater.
B．Their levels affect the security of rainwater.
C．They are mainly present in makeup products.
D．They will be completely removed in the future.
【2】Why did researchers take rainwater samples from areas like Antarctica?
A．To reveal rainwater is rare in these areas.
B．To cut down the spending on rainwater study.
C．To confirm the widespread presence of PFAS.
D．To measure the quality of rainwater in these areas.
【3】What does the author want to convey in the third paragraph?
A．It’s time to stop people from drinking rainwater.
B．It’s necessary to improve the safety of rainwater.
C．It’s promising to expand. Drinking water sources.
D．I’s tough to address PFAS-related health issues.
【4】Which statement will Dr Jane Muncke probably agree with?
A．Scientists should be devoted to reducing PFAS.
B．Public efforts are required to obtain safe drinking water.
C．Some industries should bear the costs of reducing PFAS.
D．The chemical industry is responsible for the unsafety of PFAS.
24、Want to know what is coming soon to a cinema near you? Probably not a 1.5-hour-long movie, as in the old days. On October 20th comes Killers of the Flower Moon. At nearly three and a half hours, its length is nearly double that of the average film last year. Even movie fans struggle to concentrate for that long and some viewers even nod off. Afterwards there is a mad dash for the toilets. When does watching a film become such a slog?
The Economist analyzed over 100,000 feature films released internationally since the 1930s, the start of Hollywood’s golden age, using data from IMDb, a movie database. The average length of productions rose by around 24%, from one hour and 21 minutes in the 1930s to one hour and 47 minutes in 2022. For the ten most-popular titles, the average length grew to around two and a half hours in 2022, nearly 50% higher than in the 1930s.
One driver of this trend is that studios want to squeeze the most out of their costly intellectual property (知识产权), but they are competing with streaming platforms for eyeballs. The hope is that a spectacular, drawn-out “event” movie will draw audiences away from the small screen and into cinemas. This approach has often paid off: Avengers: Endgame Marvel’s three-hour superhero masterpieces, was the highest-grossing (票房最高的) film in 2019. Last year long movies series made up most of the highest-grossing films in America.
Another explanation for longer films has to do with directors’ growing influence. Who would dare tell the likes of Mr. Nolan to cut out his masterpieces? Moreover, streaming platforms, which do not have to worry as much about the length because viewers can pause whenever they like, may attract big names by promising them sufficient fund and creative freedom. Netflix funded and released three-hour The Irishman in 2019, a film that would have benefited from a decisive editor, Irish or otherwise.
【1】The underlined part “a slog” in paragraph 1 refers to a(n)___.
A．pleasure
B．effort
C．conflict
D．feast
【2】What can be inferred from paragraph 2?
A．The average length affects the popularity of films.
B．Great advances have been made in film industry.
C．Hollywood starts a golden age of feature films.
D．The average duration of movies has stretched.
【3】What sets the trend of longer movies?
A．Competition for the target audience.
B．Thirst for more classic productions.
C．Influence of streaming platforms.
D．Preference for decisive editors.
【4】What is probably the best title for the passage?
A．Movie Enthusiasts
B．Movie Marathons
C．Movie Production
D．Movie Influence
