(2023·佛山教学质检)It's no secret now that the more time we spend on social media, the more we feel dissatisfied with ourselves. We tend to compare ourselves to influencers and celebrities—so it's easy to understand how that can affect our confidence.
But, how often have you found yourself comparing your life to your friends'? Engaging with social media shared by our friends can be more damaging than looking at contents shared by celebrities, new research has found.
The study looking at how social media affects body image found that any social media engagement was significantly associated with lower “appearance satisfaction”. Additionally, it found that engaging with contents posted by people the participants knew was more than twice as damaging as looking at contents posted by strangers, including celebrities.
Viren Swami, Professor of Social Psychology at Anglia Ruskin University, believes this is partly because we know it's hard to attain the lives of celebrities or influencers, but when we're comparing ourselves to our friends, it feels like we should—or could—live the way they do.
“One possible explanation is that people may perceive a post showing appearance as being much more attainable if it comes from someone they know, adding expectation or pressure on the person engaging in the post,” he said. “At the same time, people may be more critically engaged with posts by the likes of models and celebrities, and therefore perceive the images they share to be more unrealistic.”
This isn't just confined to body image though. We all have one area in our lives that triggers (触发) us. Maybe you've been searching for a new job for months and you find yourself on social media, envying your school friend who just landed their dream role. Maybe...
All this is to state the obvious:We only see part of people's lives—and if it's getting you down, you're probably comparing your insides to other people's outsides. Everyone has their struggles and life is indeed not perfect for anyone. So, put down your phone, get offline, be thankful and try to live your own life.

(2023·辽宁名校联盟联考)It is becoming more apparent now that students do more online learning than they ever have before. There are plenty of ways that educators can use technology to create online lessons and deliver instruction remotely.
You may think that the only way to run an online class is synchronously through web conferences, in the same way that physical learning does—with all of the students and the teacher present at the same time. In most cases, that won't be very practical, since the probability that all of the learners and the educator are all together with live, stable Internet connections is relatively low.
The most crucial thing to keep in mind is that online learning does not need to take place at the same time as online teaching. You create a course in your Learning Management System (LMS) to be a series of modules (模块). Then you ask your learners to take the modules one after another, because each builds on the last. Each module may be a video that you created regarding the content, accompanied by a PDF, some relevant documents and thirdparty links, etc. Learners can log in to the virtual classroom whenever they want, even during the early hours of the morning, to access each module in the order you have designed. You can also lay out some essential rules for the course, like the frequency and types of assessments and more.
As far as I'm concerned, while most of the time online learning saves the learning cost and provides diverse studying materials and instruction from educators, allowing your learners the freedom to do their coursework according to their schedules is what makes online learning distinctive. It helps boost engagement, teach your learners how to plan for themselves and be responsible, and improve their overall lives.

5.What does the underlined word “synchronously” in Paragraph 2 probably mean?
A.At the same time.
B.In the same place.
C.Under various conditions.
D.Through different channels.
解析 A 词义猜测题。根据第二段中画线词后的“in the same way that physical learning does—with all of the students and the teacher present at the same time”可知,你可能认为这种在线课程就像线下学习一样,所有的学生和老师同时在场。由此可推测画线词意为“同时”,这里表示通过网络会议线上教与学同步进行。故选A。
6.Why are learners supposed to follow the modules in a certain order?
A.Every module has essential rules.
B.The modules deal with various topics.
C.Each module is based on the previous one.
D.The modules are designed in different forms.
解析 C 细节理解题。根据第三段中的“Then you ask your learners to take the modules one after another, because each builds on the last.”可知,学习者要按一定顺序学习这些模块,原因是每个模块都是以前一个模块为基础的。故选C。
7.What makes online learning unique according to the author?
A.Flexible learning time.
B.Easy access to teachers.
C.Abundant learning resources.
D.Affordable education fees.
解析 A 细节理解题。根据最后一段中的“As far as I'm concerned, while most of the time online learning saves the learning cost and provides diverse studying materials and instruction from educators, allowing your learners the freedom to do their coursework according to their schedules is what makes online learning distinctive.”可知,作者认为灵活的学习时间使得在线学习与众不同。故选A。
8.Who are the target readers of the text?
A.Students. B.Parents.
C.Officials. D.Teachers.
解析 D 推理判断题。依据全文,尤其是第三段中的“You create a course... you ask your learners to...”可知,本文的目标读者是教师。故选D。

[语篇解读] 本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了中国正在研制新一代运载火箭,以便将航天员送上月球,该项目将于2030年完成。
1.解析 to send 考查非谓语动词。句意为:中国正在开发新一代运载火箭以便将航天员送上月球,该项目将于2030年完成。根据语境可知,此处应用动词不定式作目的状语。故填to send。
2.解析 held 考查非谓语动词。句意为:中国国际电视台从在中国南部珠海市举行的第14届中国航展上(在此期间,展出了一个火箭模型)获悉,新型火箭将高90米,能够将27吨有效载荷送入月球轨道。动词hold和被修饰词Airshow China是逻辑上的被动关系,所以此处应用过去分词形式,表示被动,作后置定语。故填held。
3.解析 was displayed 考查动词的时态和语态及主谓一致。句意见上一题解析。根据句意可知,这句话描述的是过去的事情,主语a model of the rocket和动词display是被动关系,所以谓语动词用一般过去时的被动语态,主语为单数,谓语动词用单数。故填was displayed。
4.解析 its 考查代词。句意:它的核心直径将与长征五号重型运载火箭的直径相似,即五米。分析句子结构和意思可知,此处需要形容词性物主代词,作定语,修饰后面的名词core。故填its。
5.解析 powerful 考查词性转换。句意为:长征五号是中国目前投入运行的最强大的运载火箭,最大有效载荷能力为25吨,可进入近地轨道(LEO)。分析句子结构和意思可知,此处需要形容词,意为“强大的”,作定语,修饰后面的名词短语launch vehicle。故填powerful。
6.解析 with 考查介词。句意见上一题解析。根据句子结构和意思可知,此处为with的复合结构,表示“有”。故填with。
7.解析 weighing 考查非谓语动词。句意为:它已被用于将中国的三个重约66吨的空间站模块送入近地轨道。根据句意可知,本句中的weigh意思为“重量是……”,是连系动词,无被动形式,所以此处用现在分词形式,表示主动。故填weighing。
8.解析 the 考查冠词。句意为:除了用于载人任务的新型火箭外,中国还正在开发一个新的载人太空舱和一个月球着陆器,这将能够将三名航天员送入月球轨道,并允许其中两名航天员登月。根据句子结构和意思可知,此处new rocket for manned mission是特指,所以用定冠词the。故填the。
9.解析 which 考查定语从句。句意见上一题解析。根据句子结构和意思可知,设空处引导非限制性定语从句,先行词a new crewed capsule and a lunar lander指物,关系词在定语从句中作主语,用关系代词which。故填which。
10.解析 significantly 考查词性转换。句意为:与此同时,中国还正在开发一系列可重复使用的航天发射和运输系统,这将大大提高其航天飞机的能力,降低成本,并为该领域的未来发展提供动力。此处修饰动词boost,应用副词significantly。故填significantly。

(2023·周口检测)阅读下面材料, 根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段, 使之构成一篇完整的短文。
Oh, this was terrible. “Thank you for volunteering to coach soccer...” the letter began. Coach? Soccer? Me? That was crazy. My knowledge of the sport began and ended with youcan'tuseyourhands.
I have just graduated from high school. There was a summer holiday long enough to do something unusual. Father advised me to pick up a parttime job in our community, like teaching kids to swim or helping them with their subjects. “You'll learn a lot,” he said. So, when Community Sports asked for volunteers, I signed up for data entry, which, I thought was helping to put data into a computer. Keyboards, I knew. Coaching? Impossible!
Realizing there must be something wrong, I quickly called the head coach about the misunderstanding. It did not go well. He had been away from home and would not be coaching at all. Panicked, I called the other assistant coach. He said, “It isn't difficult to teach a bunch of first graders about soccer. Be confident.”
“Are you kidding me?” I hang up the phone, smiling bitterly.
I phoned a Community Sports officer about our dilemma. “I am sorry,” he said. “Not enough people are willing to volunteer. If you cannot coach, we will call your team and let them know they will not be playing this season.” Seriously, that was his solution? I hang up the phone, saying I would call back to let him know my choice.
That afternoon, when Father came back, I told everything to him, complaining how careless and ridiculous the community workers were. They should have suggested my “pretending” to be a coach.
Father stared at me, “Hey, listen! I remember you like watching soccer games.”
“Watching is one thing but coaching is another,” I protested.
“Why not learn the game with the kids? To those first graders, it's just a game. Just make it fun. Besides, you'll gain more than them.” I couldn't imagine the kids' disappointed faces when they were told their team wouldn't play because they couldn't find them a coach.
注意: 1.续写词数应为150左右;
2.请按如下格式作答。
The next morning, I called back. _____________________________________________
________________________________________________________________________
________________________________________________________________________
________________________________________________________________________
________________________________________________________________________
Then came the day when I would meet those kids for the first time. _________________
________________________________________________________________________
________________________________________________________________________
________________________________________________________________________
________________________________________________________________________
One possible version:
The next morning, I called back.“Okay,” I said. “Put me down for coach.” At the other end of the line, the man burst into laughter. He told me they would have a coaching clinic on Saturday which might help. But I could hardly wait that long. The moment I put down the phone, I rushed to my computer and started researching. Everything about soccer. Everything about how to get along with first graders. The more I learnt, the more confident I felt.
Then came the day when I would meet those kids for the first time.I took a deep breath and stepped onto the ground, where, 22 kids were waiting, their eyes sparkling with excitement and eagerness. That season, we played and won great popularity. The time spent with them proved rewarding. It's not such a challenging job to teach them to play soccer because what mattered more was not to win but to make it fun to learn. More importantly, I learnt a life lesson: To be outstanding—get comfortable with being uncomfortable.
