26、Most of us probably cannot imagine modern life without social media, which has both the potential to negatively impact our mental and emotional heath if used blindly and the ability to connect us in many unexpected ways.
With social media, friendships go beyond geography. We are able to find friends old and new, thus maintaining old friendships and making new ones. Some would question the quality of these friendships, but perhaps what is important is that a link exists between you and that person. Then, we can possibly build friendship upon this link in the future.
Nevertheless, social media does consume our energy and lower our self-esteem (自尊) at times. A 2013 study by Ethan Kross and Philippe Verduyn, published by the Public Library of Science, found that the more a person uses Facebook, the more miserable he feels about his own life. An internet celebrity (名人) Essena O’Neill recently announced to quit social media, saying it is “not real life”, taking countless photos just to look great in a single post and seeking social approval from “likes” and “views” have left her feeling “empty”.
However, those affected are usually teenagers who possess shaky self-identities. It is only natural for teenagers to seek popularity and social recognition. However, for every teenager who feels jealous, envious or depressed online, there is another who chooses to feel energetic, inspired and accepted by positive social connections.
From what perspective do we wish to approach social media? Social media does not cause unhappiness; it simply provides an alternative platform for teenagers to experiment with as they grow up, something they have always done offline. Teen activist and Nobel Peace Prize winner Malala Yousafzai says, “What is interesting is the power and impact of social media... we must try to use social media in a good way.”
【1】Which best describes the impact of social media on friendship?
A．Social media helps build friendships across distances.
B．Social media improves the quality of new friendships.
C．Social media only has a short-term impact on friendships.
D．Social media makes it harder to maintain old friendships.
【2】Why does the author mention “a study” and “a celebrity” in paragraph 3?
A．To explain a rule.
B．To make a prediction.
C．To present a fact.
D．To prove an argument.
【3】What’s the author’s attitude towards teenagers using social media?
A．Positive.
B．Objective.
C．Doubtful.
D．Indifferent.
【4】What may be discussed in the next part of this passage?
A．Demand for advances in social media.
B．The wide applications of social media
C．Advice on using social media positively.
D．The possible harm of social media to users.
27、Almost none of us have time to read everything we’d like to read. Yet we lose countless hours to daily activities that bring us little joy like taking buses and waiting in line. What if we could turn these little blocks of unoccupied time into precious and rewarding moments for learning and thinking?
Established in 2021, iReader, a micro-learning app on mobile phones, brings the biggest ideas from best-selling books through 15-minute audio (音频) and test. So far, more than 3000 books have been included, ranging from psychology and parenting to management and economies, with new titles added every day.
iReader is pioneering a new method of reading, with over 9 million users enjoying the benefits already. According to the Pew Research Center (PRC), the British read just 4 paper books a year and over 25% haven’t read a single paper book this year, but reading isn’t dying. There are now more ways for the British to read than ever before, due to the widespread use of e-books and audio books.
The books in iReader are rewritten to ensure it is easy to remember the main content. The way the content is edited has been specifically designed to ensure it is useful in practice. Besides, the content is rewritten with related examples in real life, which means users are more likely to remember and apply what is helpful to them.
Holger Seim, German co-founder of this app, declares, “iReader gives you the biggest ideas in the shortest possible time. It transforms great ideas into small packages you can listen to or read in just 15 minutes.”
【1】What does the author advise people to do in unoccupied time?
A．Bring joy to daily routine.
B．Write and share.
C．Avoid taking buses.
D．Learn and think.
【2】What can we infer from the PRC’s findings?
A．The British benefit little from reading.
B．Reading methods are more important than before.
C．Digital technology has taken place of paper books.
D．New forms of books are changing the way the British read.
【3】How does iReader make the content easy to remember?
A．By bringing fun to it.
B．By making it useful.
C．By using artistic designs.
D．By taking users as examples.
【4】What is the best title for the text?
A．iReader: big ideas in small packages
B．iReader unites worldwide book-lovers
C．iReader: the best new app
D．iReader prevents reading from dying

31、Directions:Complete the following passage by using the words in the box. Each word can be used only once. Note that there is one word more than you need.
A drop in the sun’s radiation can cause cold winters in parts of North America and Europe, scientists say, a finding that could improve long-range forecasts and help countries 【1】 for storms.
Scientists have known for a long time that the sun has an 11-year cycle during which radiation from the sun reaches a(n) 【2】 then falls. But detecting a clear link of the cycle to the weather has proved much 【3】.
“Our research notices a link between solar activities and regional winter climate,” lead author Sarah Ineson of the UK Met Office told the reporters in an email.
Her team focused on the data from the recent minimum solar radiation period during 2008-10, which was a(n) 【4】 calm period for the sun but at the same time, 【5】 winters in the U.S and Europe were recorded which brought troubles to many businesses and made people’s lives difficult.
The researchers found that a reduction in radiation from the sun can affect wind patterns, 【6】 cold winters.
“While radiation levels won’t tell us what the day-to-day weather will be, they provide the exciting 【7】 of improved prediction for winter conditions for months and even years ahead. These predictions play an important role in long-term weather planning,” Ineson said.
Ineson’s team used the data in a complex computer to 【8】 long-term weather patterns. It successfully reproduced what scientists had observed happening in the upper atmosphere during changes in solar radiation. More study was needed, though. The key 【9】 in the experiment lay in the satellite data used, because it spans (跨度) only a few years.” So there are still questions concerning whether the current research results are accurate and whether they can be 【10】 to other solar cycles,” she said.

Help Hermit Crabs
Hermit crabs are nature’s recyclers. They eat waste and help keep oceans and shores clean. Unlike other crabs, the hermit crab has a thin outer shell over its soft tail. This makes the hermit crab easy prey for hungry predators (天敌). Hermit crabs stay safe by living in old seashells. A hermit crab is picky (狡猾); it tries on many shells until it finds one that fits just right. In recent years, however, many hermit crabs have had trouble finding their perfect homes. What is the problems There are not enough shells to go around!
One reason for the seashell shortage is that ocean water is not as clean as it once was. This has caused chemical changes to sea water. Some sea animals, like snails, are affected by these changes. Now there are fewer snails making shells. People visiting the beach often take shells home as souvenirs (纪念品). This is another problem. Other people even take shells for their own pet hermit crabs! They do not realize that hermit crabs in the wild need those shells too.
Now people are working to solve this hermit crab housing shortage. They are teaching beach-Boers to leave seashells where they belong--at the seashore! Some people even make fake seashells that they hope the hermit crabs will like. For example, a group called Project Shelter invited people who visited their website to create different designs for hermit crab shells.
These designers had a lot to consider. What kind of material should be used to build a seashells. The material must be light enough for the hermit crab to carry, but strong enough to protect the crab from predators. The man-made shells could not contain glue or any other substance (物质) that might harm a hermit crab. Another challenge with building a hermit crab home was the opening to the shell. Too big would mean the crab would not feel safe. Too small would be uncomfortable, and the crab would not want to move in.
The Project Shelter shells are placed in the wild for hermit crabs to find. Lucky hermit crabs can move into these new dream homes.
