在工作时总是咬指甲,事先将一个玩耍的玩具放在你的办公
桌上。然后,如果收到一封压力大的电子邮件时,当你感到

大的电子邮件时,当你感到想要咬指甲时,就使用这个玩具
这种危害性较小的行为来替代咬指甲的习惯即通过一种危
害性小的习惯来取代或者改变原有的习惯。由此划线词与
A选项“Harmful.(有害的)”为同义词。故选A。

nail-biters,mostofusdohaveahabitwedliketokick.So

Passage9
【语篇解读】 本文是一篇议论文。年轻人总是抱怨他们的父
母与现代生活方式脱节、不相信子女应付危机的能力、对某些
问题喋喋不休、缺乏幽默感等。作者的建议是年轻人可以用你
的责任感和进取心打动父母。那样,他们才会允许你做你想做
的事。
—472—
1.A 细 节 理 解 题。根 据 第 一 段 中 “Theyhavealways
complained,moreorlessjustly,thattheirparentsareoutof
touch with modern ways;thattheydonottrusttheir
childrentodealwithcrisis;thattheytalktoomuchabout

leastinparent-childrelationships.(他们总是或多或少地抱
怨他们的父母与现代生活方式脱节,不信任孩子处理危机
的能力,对某些问题谈论太多,至少在亲子关系中没有幽默
感。)”可知,从年轻人的观点中我们可以知道父母缺乏幽默
感并且喜欢说很多话。选项A符合题意。故选A。
2.A 推理判断题。根据第三段中“Thisgivesthemadditional
enjoyment.Atleastinasmalway,theyareleadersinstyle
andtaste.(这给了他们额外的乐趣。至少在某种程度上,他
们是风格和品味的领导者。)”可以推断,年轻人从他们的烦
人行为中找到了额外的乐趣。选项A符合题意。故选A。
3.B 词义猜测题。根据第四段中“Iftheydoapprove,itlooks
asifyouarebetraying(背叛)yourownagegroup.Butin
thatcase,youareassumingthatyouarean...:youcant
win,butatleastyoucankeepyourhonor.”(如果他们真的
同意了,看起来你好像背叛了自己的年龄段。但在那种情况
下,你假设自己是个……:你赢不了,但至少能保住你的荣
誉。)可知,此处上下文语境意在表明如果你按照父母的意愿
行事,会让同龄人觉得你是背叛者,而你却认为自己虽败犹
荣,因此划线词“underdog”在此处意为“失败者”。选项B符
合题意。故选B。
4.C 推 理 判 断 题。根 据 第 五 段 中 “From myteaching
experienceforages,Iwanttogiveyouyoungpeoplethe

故选C。
Passage10
【语篇解读】 本文是一篇议论文。本文是对《焦虑的一代》一
书的评论,作者认为该书提出的数字技术导致儿童大脑重构
和精神健康危机的观点缺乏科学依据。作者强调,精神障碍的
成因复杂,需要基于科学和证据的解决方案,而不是简单归咎
于社交媒体。
1.C 细 节 理 解 题。根 据 第 一 段 中 “However,thebooks
repeatedsuggestionthatdigitaltechnologiesarerewiringour
childrensbrainsandcausingtheepidemic (流 行 病)of
mentalilnessisunsupportedbyscience.(然而,这本书一再
暗示数字技术正在重构我们孩子的大脑,并导致精神健康
问题的流行,这一观点并没有得到科学的支持。)”可知,该
书重复暗示数字技术正在重构我们孩子的大脑,并导致精
神健康 问 题 的 流 行。C选 项“Teensmentalilnessresults
fromscreentime.(青 少 年 的 精 神 疾 病 与 看 屏 幕 时 间 有
关。)”与该描述相一致。故选C。
2.D 词 义 猜 测 题。根 据 划 线 词 前 面 的 内 容 “When
associationsovertimearefound,theysuggestnotthat

并不是预测或导致抑郁症,而是已经有心理健康问题的年
轻人比健康的同龄人更频繁地或以不同的方式使用这些平
台。)”以 及 划 线 词 后 面 的 内 容“Ananalysisdonein72
countriesshowsnoconsistentormeasurableassociations
betweenwel-beingandsocialmediaglobaly.(在72个国家
进行的一项分析显示,在全球范围内,幸福感和社交媒体之
间没有一致的或可衡量的联系。)”可知,“同样的信息”指的
是社交媒体并不一定导致心理健康问题。通过在72个国
家进行的一项分析显示,在全球范围内,幸福感和社交媒体
之间没有一致的或可衡量的联系。故划线词指代的是没有
一致或可测量的证据表明社交媒体与幸福感之间有密切关
系。故选D。
3.A 推理判断题。根据最后一段中“Wehaveagenerationin
crisisandindesperateneedofthebestofwhatscienceand

学和基于证据的解决方案所能提供的最好的东西。不幸的
是,我们的时间花在讲述没有研究支持的故事上,这些故事
对那些需 要、也 应 该 得 到 更 多 支 持 的 年 轻 人 几 乎 没 有 帮
助。)”可知,针对于年轻人的心理健康问题,我们正在浪费时
间讲述没有研究支持的故事,而这些故事对需要帮助的年轻
人并没有帮助,这暗示我们需要采取有效的行动来解决这个
问题。故选A。
4.D 推 理 判 断 题。根 据 第 一 段 中“Ihadtosaysomething

销,因为乔纳森·海特特讲述了一个许多父母都倾向于相信
的关于儿童发展可怕的故事。然而,书中反复暗示数字技术
正在重新连接我们孩子的大脑,并导致精神疾病的流行,这
一观点并没有科学支持。)”以及最后一段中“Unfortunately,
ourtimeisbeingspenttelingstoriesthatareunsupported
byresearchandthatdolittletosupportyoungpeoplewho
need,anddeserve,more.(不幸的是,我们的时间花在讲述没
有研究支持的故事上,这些故事对那些需要、也应该得到更
多支持的年轻人几乎没有帮助。)”以及通读全文可知,整篇
文章都在批评一本书的观点,并强调需要科学和证据支持的
解决方案,而不应该把时间浪费在没有科学研究支持的结论
中,由此表明作者的目的是引起人们对儿童心理健康问题以
及真正引发其该问题的原因进行关注和理解。D选项“To
giveavoicetochildrensmentalissues.(为孩子们的心理问
题发声。)”符合作者的目的。故选D。
