【题目】A new study, which was published in the American Journal of Preventive Medicine, found that heavy use of platforms such as Facebook and Snapchat was associated with feelings of being separated from society among young adults—basically the opposite of what we are led to believe.
Study co-author Brian Primack and his team surveyed 1,787 U. S. adults aged 19 to 32 and asked them about their usage of 11 social media platforms. They also asked participants questions related to social isolation, such as how often they felt left out. The participants who reported spending the most time on social media—over two hours a day—had twice the odds of perceived（感知到的）social isolation than those who said they spent a half-hour per day or less on the same sites.
According to Tom Kersting, psychotherapist and author of Disconnected, the key to understanding these results lies in our understanding of “connections.” “Humans are social —emotional beings, meaning that it is in our DNA to be connected, face-to-face, with other humans,” he told Reader’s Digest. “Although people think being on social media all the time makes them ‘connected’ to others, they are actually ‘disconnected,’ because the more time one spends behind a screen, the less time one spend face-to-face.”
“Part of the issue of loneliness is that the majority of people who use social media aren’t just posting, they are also viewing,” Kersting continued. “They are spending a lot of time looking at everyone else’s posts, where they are and what they are doing. The constant exposure to everyone else’s ‘perfect’ life experiences causes feelings of being left out.”
So what’s the answer? It’s simple, says Kersting. “The solution to this is resisting the temptation to look at everyone else’s life. Just focus on your own life, where you’re going, what you are grateful for, and what you want to accomplish in this world.”
【1】What is the finding of the new study?
A. Humans are social-emotional beings.
B. Social media platforms are overused by the young.
C. Social media strengthens interpersonal relationship.
D. Heavy use of Social media can lead to loneliness.
【2】How did the team conduct their research?
A. By asking questions. B. By experimenting.
C. By distributing forms. D. By media reporting.
【3】Who might have a strong feeling of social isolation?
A. Those who use a single social media platforms.
B. Those who spend three hours a day on social media.
C. Those who don’t spend time on social media.
D. Those spending a half-hour per day on social media.
【4】What does Kersting suggest people do to avoid feelings of social isolation?
A. Never compare with others. B. Make more fiends on the internet.
C. Choose a travel destination. D. Set up a clear goal for the future.

【题目】Swiss researchers said Monday they have developed a wireless camera system to monitor vital signs in premature babies, a move that could replace uncomfortable and highly inaccurate skin sensors (传感器) which produce false alarms in up to 90 percent of cases, mainly set off by the baby’s movement.
“This is a cause of discomfort for the babies, because we have to check on them every time,” said Jean-Claude Fauchere, a doctor at University Hospital Zurich’s newborn clinic.
His hospital is preparing to begin tests of a new, contactless system created by researchers at the EPFL polytechnical university in Lausanne and at the Swiss Center for Electronics and Microtechnology.
The system designed in Switzerland should allow premature babies kept warm in incubators (恒温箱) to be medically monitored using highly sensitive cameras that detect the newborn’s pulse by analyzing its skin color, which changes so slightly every time its heart beats.
“Breathing is monitored by measuring movements of its chest and shoulders. At night, infrared (红外线的) cameras take over, and monitoring can be carried out non-stop,” the statement said.
The visual system was designed by CSEM researchers, who chose cameras sensitive enough to detect minute changes in skin color, while the EPFL researchers designed algorithms (运算程序) to process the data in real time.
“We ran an early study on adults, where we looked at a specific part of skin on their foreheads,” EPFL doctoral student Sibylle Fallet said. “With our algorithms we can track this area when the person moves, and use tiny changes in their color to determine the pulse,” she said. “The tests showed that the cameras produced practically the same results as conventional sensors.”
Once the system has been widely tested on premature babies, it could one day replace skin sensors altogether, the schools said.
【1】What is the advantage of the wireless camera system?
A. It is light and painless. B. It is mobile and effective.
C. It is cheap and convenient. D. It is comfortable and accurate.
【2】What is the key for the wireless camera to monitor a premature baby?
A. Its non-stop measurement.
B. Good condition of incubators.
C. Its sensitivity to sense skin color change.
D. The algorithms to process the data in time.
【3】It be inferred from what Sibylle Fallet said that .
A. their early study on adults was successful
B. the system has been used on premature babies
C. the visual system can sense the people’s pulse
D. the wireless cameras will replace conventional sensors
【4】What’s the schools’ attitude towards the visual system?
A. Doubtful. B. Optimistic. C. Unconcerned. D. Uncertain.

【题目】 Does your older brother think he’s cleverer than you? Well, he’s probably right. According to a new research published in the journal Intelligence, the oldest children in families are likely to have the highest IQs and the youngest the lowest.
A number of studies have suggested that IQ scores decline with birth order. In the most recent study, at Vrije University, Amsterdam, researchers looked at men and women whose IQ had been tested at the ages of 5，12 ，and 18．
The results, which show a trend for the oldest to score better than the youngest in each test, involved about 200,000 people. That showed that first-borns had a three-point IQ advantage over the second-born, who was a point ahead of the next in line．
The order of birth can also affect personality, achievement, and career, with first-borns being more academically successful and more likely to win Nobel prizes. However, eldest children are less likely to be radical（不同凡响的） and pioneering. Charles Darwin, for example, was the fifth child of six．
Exactly why there should be such differences is not clear, and there are a number of theories on environmental influences on the child．
The so-called dilution(稀释法) theory suggests that as family resources, both emotional and physical, as well as economic, are limited, it follows that, as a result , as more children come along, the levels of parental attention and encouragement will drop. Another theory is that the intellectual environment in the family favors the first-born who has, at least for some time, the benefit of individual care and help．
The theory which enjoys the most support is that the extra time and patience that the earlier-borned get from their parents, compared with those arriving later, gives them an advantage．
【1】What is the passage mainly about?
A.IQ scores have little to do with the order of birth．
B.Intellectual families favor the first-born.
C.The order of birth can have an effect on IQ.
D.The order of birth can affect personality, achievement, and career．
【2】By using Charles Darwin as an example, the author wants to prove that________.
A.eldest children are the smartest in a family
B.youngest children will usually become experts
C.first-borns are more likely to win Nobel prizes
D.eldest children are less likely to try something new
【3】What do we know about the dilution theory?
A.Intellectual parents love the first –born better
B.Parents’ attention will drop with more children coming
C.Family resources, both emotional and physical are endless．
D.First-born get less care and help from their parents．
【4】The passage is developed mainly by .
A.offering opinion with further explanation
B.pointing out similarities and difference
C.comparing opinions from different fields
D.providing typical examples
【5】The passage can be classified into the following type of writing_______.
A.argumentationB.description
C.narration(记叙文)D.exposition(说明)

Disappointed at the result of the examination, I sat on the sofa in silent after school. My father found I was so unhappy but came to ask me why. After learning the reason, my father give me a smile. He said, “Don’t allow the terribly things in your life to discount the positive one. Don’t let a bad day or month or year to make you feel like you have a bad life. Instead focusing on everything that’s going wrong, start holding onto all of the things that is going right. You’ll feel better soon.” Hear what my father said, I felt it the shame to act like that and decided to cheer myself up.

【题目】根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中的两项为多余选项。UrbanizationUntil relatively recently, the vast majority of human being lived and died without ever seeing a city. The first city was probably founded no more than 5,500 years ago.【1】In fact, nearly everyone lived on farms or in tiny rural (乡村的) villages. It was not until the 20th century that Great Britain became the first urban society in history—a society in which the majority of people live in cities and do not farm for a living.Britain was only the beginning.【2】The process of urbanization—the migration (迁徙) of people from the countryside to the city—was the result of modernization, which has rapidly transformed how people live and where they live.In 1900, fewer than 40% of Americans lived in urban areas. Today, over 82% of Americans live in cities. Only about 2% live on farms.【3】Large cities were impossible until agriculture became industrialized. Even in advanced agricultural societies, it took about ninetyfive people on farms to feed five people in cities.【4】Until modern times, those living in cities were mainly the ruling elite (精英) and the servants, laborers and professionals who served them. Cities survived by taxing farmers and were limited in size by the amount of surplus（过剩）food that the rural population produced and by the ability to move this surplus from farm to city.Over the past two centuries, the Industrial Revolution has broken this balance between the city and the country.【5】Today, instead of needing ninetyfive farmers to feed five city people, one American farmer is able to feed more than a hundred nonfarmers.
A. That kept cities very small. |
B. The rest live in small towns. |
C. The effects of urban living on people should be considered |
D. Soon many other industrial nations became urban societies. |
E. But even 200 years ago, only a few people could live in cities. |
F. Modernization drew people to the cities and made farmers more productive. |
G. Modern cities have destroyed social relations and the health of human beings. |

【题目】Would you buy a car that released calming smells into the air when you are stuck in heavy traffic? Would you buy a robot that smells like a human being?
Many people have seen the 3-D computer-made environments of virtual (虚拟的) reality (VR). Now these virtual worlds will not just look and sound real. Researchers have created VR environments that even smell like the real things. With the new technology, users open a virtual door and step into a new environment, like a rainforest. After they enter this virtual world, special equipment releases forest-like smells into the air to make the experience seem more real.
Suzanne Fisher-Murray said, “It is a really wonderful experience that you have because you, re exploring this environment and you have smells with it.”
In the United States, Smell-O-Vision was designed to provide smells during the showing of a movie. The Smell-O-Vision system was once popular in the 1960s. Now, Emanuela Maggioni says it is close to becoming popular again. “The connection with emotions, memories, and ... the sense of smell,” Maggioni said. “It is unbelievable what we can do with technology.”
The uses for smell technology are not just limited to films and the performing arts. Researchers showed a computer program where users could imagine themselves driving a car. The system included a special smell- spraying machine. Dmitrijs Dmitrenko said, “We want to deliver the smell of lavender (薫衣草) every time the person drives over the speed limit. We choose lavender because it’s a very calming smell.”
Scientists are experimenting with smell instead of sounds or image-based alerts on telecommunications equipment. And businesses are already using smell to influence people’s behavior. “Not only...in stores…But on the other side, you can create and stimulate (刺激) immediate buying,” Maggioni said. “So you’re in a library and you smell coffee and actually you are unconsciously having the need to drink a coffee.”
【1】Using smell technology, researchers make VR environments .
A. have a smell of a rainforest B. even smell like real ones
C. look like a 4-D environment D. impress people with a virtual world
【2】The example of Smell-O-Vision proves that .
A. America is the first to use smell technology
B. cinemas are the most suitable for smell sense
C. smell technology has been tried before
D. it was out of date to use smell-spraying devices
【3】How is smell technology used by businessmen?
A. To make buyers understand salesmen better.
B. To remind people of their unrealistic buying.
C. To help customers choose their favorite goods.
D. To encourage people to buy something suddenly.
【4】What is the main idea of the passage?
A. The developments of smell technology.
B. A major breakthrough of smell technology.
C. The sense of smell in human communication.
D. The advanced smell-spraying machines.
