If the answer to any of these questions is “yes”, you may be suffering from (遭受) the Fear Of Missing Out, or “FOMO”. But, don’t worry. FOMO influences many people in the modern world. You are not alone. FOMO has become a common social situation in recent years. The growth of mobile technology and social media is where FOMO comes in. New mobile technologies help us connect with anyone at all times. However, it is a double-edged sword (双刃剑). Today, most of social media are filled with photos and updates which only show the best part of others’ lives. That can leave us feeling that our own lives are imperfect. So, what can we do to fight against FOMO? One idea is to cut down the time you spend on social media. Setting time limits (时限) for how long you read through or use social media each day will be helpful. Also. It’s a good way to just focus on what you have but not what you don’t. What’s more, keep a so-called gratitude journal (感恩日志), where you write down three things you are grateful for every day. With these tips, FOMO can be beaten, and you will be able to have a more enjoyable life. 36. ________ might be experiencing FOMO. A. Kate who thinks she lives a better life than others B. Ben who doesn’t mind not being invited to a party C. Tim who finds it hard to take his eyes off the phone D. Linda who doesn’t like keeping in touch with others 37.

The main idea of the passage is ________. A. having fun using the mobile phone B. enjoying and showing the best part of life C. staying far away from social media D. knowing about and fighting against FOMO 【答案】36. C 37. D 38. B 39. A 40. D 【解析】 【导语】本文主要介绍了“社交控”可能有的症状，产生的原因以及应对方法。 【36题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章开头的三个问题及回答“Have you found that it’s hard to move your eyes of your phone?… you may be suffering from (遭受) the Fear Of Missing Out, or ‘FOMO’”可知，有以上任何一种状况的也许正在经历“社交控”，C选项中的Tim视线很难离开手机，符合其中一种。故选C。 【37题详解】 词句猜测题。根据前句“But, don’t worry. FOMO influences many people in the modern world. 可知，FOMO影响了当代世界上的很多人。因此可猜测此句的含义是“也有其他人在忍受FOMO的痛苦”。故选D。 【38题详解】 段落大意题。根据“The growth of mobile technology and social media is where FOMO comes in. New mobile technologies help us connect with anyone at all times. ”可知，第二段是在讲FOMO的来源，即产生的原因。故选B。 【39题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段提出的三条建议“One idea is to cut down the time you spend on social media.” “Also. It’s a good way to just focus on what you have but not what you don’t.” “What’s more, keep a so-called gratitude journal (感恩日志)”可知，①“写感恩日志”和④“减少社交媒体的时间”是正确的。故选A。 【40题详解】 主旨大意题。根据文章内容可知文章主要介绍了FOMO产生的原因，症状以及对抗方法。故选D。 Do you like exercise? Do you know something about plank (平板支撑) exercise? Plank exercise has become more and more popular in recent years. It requires little time. It’s easy to do. What’s more, doing plank exercise regularly may bring you lots of benefits. Performing plank exercise as a daily home exercise before or after school will not only speed up your metabolism (新陈代谢), but also keep your metabolic rate high all day long. Doing the exercise regularly will make you burn lots of calories. This is especially useful if you have to sit in the classroom for hours every day. A high metabolic rate will help you lose weight and keep in good shape. Have you ever tried standing on one leg? You couldn’t stand straight for more than ten seconds, right? It’s not because you are drunk, of course. Instead, it’s because your muscles (肌肉) aren’t strong enough to give you the balance you need. Doing plank exercise regularly will improve your balance. Stronger muscles will also help you stand with straight posture (姿势) at all times. _________ Just think about it: You are sitting in your chair, at home or at school, all day long. Your muscles get tired, and your legs get heavy. Plank exercise will relax the muscle groups that may cause stress in the body. As a result, it can have a powerful and positive effect on our mood. Considering all the benefits (益处) of plank exercise, will you make it part of your everyday life? 41.

What’s the main idea of the text? A. The danger of regular plank exercise. B. The benefits of regular plank exercise. C. The growing popularity of plank exercise. D. Common mistakes (错误) in doing plank exercise. 【答案】41. D 42. C 43. A 44. D 45. B 【解析】 【导语】本文主要讲述了经常做平板支撑运动的好处。 【41题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“Performing plank exercise as a daily home exercise before or after school will not only speed up your metabolism , but also keep your metabolic rate high all day long.”可知，将平板支撑运动作为每天上学前或放学后的家庭运动，不仅可以加快你的新陈代谢，还可以保持一整天的高代谢率，所以D选项的图表显示了完成平板支撑运动后新陈代谢的变化，一直保持在高水平，故选D。 【42题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段“It’s not because you are drunk, of course. Instead, it’s because your muscles aren’t strong enough to give you the balance you need”可知，是因为肌肉不够强壮，也就是肌肉虚弱，故选C。 【43题详解】 推理判断题。根据“As a result, it can have a powerful and positive effect on our mood.”可知，它可以对我们的情绪产生强大而积极的影响，所以结合选项可知A选项“你也会看到一些精神上的好处。”符合语境，故选A。 【44题详解】 细节理解题。根据倒数第二段“Plank exercise will relax the muscle groups that may cause stress in the body.

Once a rich businessman gave his daughter a beautiful necklace . But later the necklace for the girl went missing. The businessman offered a reward of $50,000 for anyone who could find it. One day Robin was walking home along a dirty river. He saw something shining in the river. It was the necklace! He decided to catch it so that he could get the reward. He put his hand in the dirty river and tried to catch the necklace, but somehow missed it. He tried again. This time he walked into the river and put his whole arm in to catch the necklace. But strangely, he still missed it! He came out and started walking away. Then again he saw the necklace, right there. He decided to give it a final try. He jumped into the dirty water and searched everywhere for the necklace but still he failed. He came out feeling very sad. Just then an old man, who was walking by, saw him and asked what was wrong. At first Robin did not want to share the secret with the old man. But finally he decided to tell the truth. He told the old man about the necklace and how he tried to catch it. The old man then said, “Perhaps you should try looking up, towards the branches (枝条) of the tree, instead of in the dirty river.” Robin looked up and the necklace was indeed on a branch of the tree. He had tried to catch a reflection (倒影) of the real necklace all the time. 31. Robin decided to catch the necklace in the river to ________.

Do you feel left-out not being invited to a party? Do you think that others are having more fun, and living better lives than you? If the answer to any of these questions is “yes”, you may be suffering from (遭受) the Fear Of Missing Out, or “FOMO”. But, don’t worry. FOMO influences many people in the modern world. You are not alone. FOMO has become a common social situation in recent years. The growth of mobile technology and social media is where FOMO comes in. New mobile technologies help us connect with anyone at all times. However, it is a double-edged sword (双刃剑). Today, most of social media are filled with photos and updates which only show the best part of others’ lives. That can leave us feeling that our own lives are imperfect. So, what can we do to fight against FOMO? One idea is to cut down the time you spend on social media. Setting time limits (时限) for how long you read through or use social media each day will be helpful. Also. It’s a good way to just focus on what you have but not what you don’t. What’s more, keep a so-called gratitude journal (感恩日志), where you write down three things you are grateful for every day. With these tips, FOMO can be beaten, and you will be able to have a more enjoyable life. 36. ________ might be experiencing FOMO. A. Kate who thinks she lives a better life than others B. Ben who doesn’t mind not being invited to a party C. Tim who finds it hard to take his eyes off the phone D. Linda who doesn’t like keeping in touch with others 37. The underlined sentence “You are not alone.” means ________. A. It’s OK to live alone sometimes B. there are more questions to come C.

The main idea of the passage is ________. A. having fun using the mobile phone B. enjoying and showing the best part of life C. staying far away from social media D. knowing about and fighting against FOMO Do you like exercise? Do you know something about plank (平板支撑) exercise? Plank exercise has become more and more popular in recent years. It requires little time. It’s easy to do. What’s more, doing plank exercise regularly may bring you lots of benefits. Performing plank exercise as a daily home exercise before or after school will not only speed up your metabolism (新陈代谢), but also keep your metabolic rate high all day long. Doing the exercise regularly will make you burn lots of calories. This is especially useful if you have to sit in the classroom for hours every day. A high metabolic rate will help you lose weight and keep in good shape. Have you ever tried standing on one leg? You couldn’t stand straight for more than ten seconds, right? It’s not because you are drunk, of course. Instead, it’s because your muscles (肌肉) aren’t strong enough to give you the balance you need. Doing plank exercise regularly will improve your balance. Stronger muscles will also help you stand with straight posture (姿势) at all times. _________ Just think about it: You are sitting in your chair, at home or at school, all day long. Your muscles get tired, and your legs get heavy. Plank exercise will relax the muscle groups that may cause stress in the body. As a result, it can have a powerful and positive effect on our mood. Considering all the benefits (益处) of plank exercise, will you make it part of your everyday life? 41. Which of the following charts shows the change in your metabolic rate after you complete plank exercise? A. B. C. D. 42. According to the writer, some people can’t stand straight for more than ten seconds on one leg because ________.

You will also see some mental benefits. B. You may get other physical benefits. C. Plank exercise is necessary for us. D. Everyone needs plank exercise. 44. How can plank exercise improve our mood? A. By making our muscles strong. B. By speeding up our metabolic rate. C. By slowing down our metabolic rate. D. By relaxing the muscle groups that usually cause stress. 45. What’s the main idea of the text? A. The danger of regular plank exercise. B. The benefits of regular plank exercise. C. The growing popularity of plank exercise. D. Common mistakes (错误) in doing plank exercise. 第二节 Some people learn a second language easily. Other people have trouble learning a new language.
