21、Lonely? You’re hardly alone. Loneliness was becoming a growing problem for teens, especially girls throughout industrial nations across the globe. That’s the finding of a new study.

The new study linked rising loneliness to a greater use of smartphones and the Internet over the same years. Jean Twenge and her team shared their new findings in the July 20 Journal of Adolescence. Twenge, a psychologist working at San Diego State University in California, and her team have found since 2012, U. S. teens have been spending less time together face-to-face. “Smartphones can help keep us connected with friends,” says Twenge. “But they can also make people feel excluded.” Girls, especially, may feel this way. Studies have shown that girls may feel like an outcast if the photos and selfies they post don’t get a lot of “likes”.

And then there’s “phubbing”, a mixture of “phone” and “snubbing”. It’s a moment in which a friend or family member takes out a phone and stares at it, ignoring everybody else, including you. Phubbing is one way tech can affect you, even when you’re not the one using it.

The fact that so many more were reporting loneliness is a worrisome trend. Could technology really be behind that? “In general, I tend to think of technology as one piece of a broader puzzle contributing to loneliness,” says Amanda Lenhart, a researcher who studies how technology affects people’s lives at the Data & Society Research Institute.

If technology leads to loneliness, should we stop using it? “No, not at all,” argues Twenge. “Everybody of all ages is trying to figure out how we can best use these technologies and stay mentally healthy.” Her favorite bit of advice is to “use your smartphone for what it’s good for. Then put it away”. That includes putting it away overnight—ideally in another room.

【1】What does the underlined word “excluded” in Paragraph 2 mean?

A．Left out.

B．Content.

C．Taken in.

D．Confident.

【2】What kind of person does “phubbing” refer to?

A．Being abused on the Internet.

B．Being affected by technology.

C．Mixing words to create new ones.

D．Ignoring someone in favor of a phone.

【3】What advice does Twenge give about the use of the telephone?

A．Reducing its use.

B．Banning it thoroughly.

C．Using it appropriately.

D．Never using it overnight.

【4】Where is the text probably taken from?

A．A personal diary.

B．A questionnaire survey.

C．A science magazine.

D．A science fiction.

22、

1. The Wright Brothers, by David McCullough

Another must-read for history fans, McCullough tells the story of Orville and Wilbur Wright, the brothers who taught the world how to fly. Drawing on all types of historical data — from personal diaries and scrapbooks, to thousands of private letters of family letters — we get a close look at the actual personalities behind one of the most influential moments in history.

2. The Wonder Garden, by Lauren Acampora

This novel is really a collection of several interwoven（交织）stories of people living in the rich Connecticut suburbs.

23、   When I first catch sight of Greta Thunberg, it is eight in the morning, and a small crowd has already gathered. It is a Friday, her day of protest, and the 16-year-old is standing outside the parliament(议会) building, next to a sign saying “School strike for climate” in Swedish.

This is the 26th week of her protest, which has taken place every Friday since school started last August. Her goal is to bring Sweden in line with the 2016 Paris Agreement, which promises to limit global warming to below 2℃, compared with pre-industrial levels.

Over the past six months, Greta has rocketed to a level of fame and influence that pretty much nobody, including herself, expected. Her protest was quickly highlighted by the media. Then came a TED talk and an invitation to address last December’s U.N. climate talks in Poland.

While Greta may seem an unlikely climate activist, it was not entirely accidental that she became one. Like many children, Greta watched educational films about the melting Arctic and the fate of the polar bears and the marine mammals bloated (肿胀) with plastic. But unlike other children, she couldn’t let them go. “I became very affected. I began thinking about it all the time.” said Greta.

Greta began researching climate change and has been staying on the topic for six years. She has stopped eating meat and buying anything that isn’t necessary. In 2015, Greta stopped flying on airplanes, and a year later, her mother followed her example, giving up an international performing career. The family has started growing their own vegetables on his own garden outside the city. To meet me in central Stockholm, Greta and her father rode their bikes for about half an hour, although the family has an electric car that they use only when necessary.

【1】What can be inferred from the second paragraph?

A.Industry in Sweden is developing too fast.

B.School climate education remains to be improved.

C.The climate around the world has increased by 2℃.

D.Sweden should do more to meet the Paris Agreement.

【2】Why did Greta become the focus of media attention?

A.She was expected to be famous.

B.She was invited to the TED talk.

C.She skipped school for the protest.

D.She was active in the protest as a child.

【3】What makes Greta devoted to climate activities?

A.The educational programs.

B.Her speech at U.N. climate talks.

C.Her great concern about climate change.

D.The protest of “School strike for climate”

【4】What happened after Greta became a climate activist?

A.She moved to the countryside.

B.She had an eco-friendly life.

C.She followed her mother’s example.

D.She gave up her work for her research.
