Section Ⅱ Using language
①It is a wellknown fact that the faces some people show to the world might be completely different to their real personalities. For instance, most comedians have permanent smiles on their faces and always sound cheerful because that's the nature of their work.From this, it's impossible to know what their true feelings are.Although they might be laughing on the outside, they might be crying on the inside.②How others are feeling is not something that we should make assumptions about, because it's not always obvious who is truly happy.③What is certain is that comedians often use comedy to help them understand themselves and the world.In fact, comedy is a very serious job indeed!
1.黑体部分均为主语从句,在整个句子中充当主语。
2.句①中的It为形式主语,真正的主语为后面的that从句,其中that在该从句中不作句子成分,也无词义。
3.句②中How others are feeling为连接副词how引导的主语从句,而because后的it为形式主语。真正的主语为who is truly happy.
4.句③中的What is certain为what引导的主语从句,其中what在该从句中作主语。
主语从句
一、主语从句的概述

Ⅰ.阅读理解(每题4分,共16分)
Before uploading a photo of ourselves to social media, chances are that we'll use an app to smooth our skin, make our eyes look bigger, and lips fuller.With a couple of taps on our mobile phone, we can get a quick fix and present the “best” version of ourselves to the world.However, the problem is, when we simply edit our imperfections away, we're also changing the way we look at ourselves.
Last month, researchers published the article Selfies—Living in the Era of Filtered(过滤的) Photographs.The article analysed photo editing apps' bad influences on people's selfrespect and their possibility to cause appearance anxieties.The researchers also warned that such apps make it difficult to tell the difference between reality and fantasy.“These apps allow one to change his or her appearance in minutes and follow an unrealistic standard of beauty,” the article reads.
In the past, people may have compared their looks to those of famous people.But for today's young people, beauty standards are most likely set by what they see on social media.“From birth, they are born into an age of social platforms where their feelings of selfworth can be based purely on the number of likes and followers that they have, which is linked to how good they look,” British cosmetic doctor Tijion Esho told The Independent.This is why many young people suffer an identity trouble when it comes to appearance.
“Now you've got this daily comparison of your real self to this fake self that you present on social media,” Renee Engeln, a professor of psychology, told the HuffPost website.Engeln further pointed out that when people spend too much time making such comparisons, they may become “beauty sick” and find it difficult to accept what they actually look like.“Because between you and the world is a mirror.It's a mirror that travels with you everywhere.You can't seem to put it down,” she told The Washington Post.So when we look in a real mirror, we shouldn't think to ourselves, “Do I look as good as myself in the filtered photos?” Instead, we should think, “I feel good; I have my health.”
[语篇解读]本文是说明文。研究人员在最新的一篇文章中指出了照片编辑软件对人们自尊的不良影响以及可能导致的外貌焦虑。心理学教授勒妮·恩格尔恩认为人们应该接受自己真实的外表。
1.Before uploading a photo to social media, we will probably .
A.have an operation to make our eyes look bigger
B.use some cream to smooth our skin
C.use an app to fix our photo
D.edit our perfections away
解析:选C。细节理解题。根据第一段第一句“Before uploading a photo of ourselves to social media, chances are that we'll use an app to smooth our skin, make our eyes look bigger, and lips fuller.”可知,在上传照片到社交媒体之前,我们可能会使用应用软件来美化照片。故选C项。
2.What can we learn from Paragraph 2?
A.In many ways, photo editing apps are beneficial to people.
B.Photo editing apps are likely to cause people's anxieties about their appearance.
C.Photo editing apps can make people more beautiful.
D.Photo editing apps help people judge realistic beauty.
解析:选B。细节理解题。根据第二段第二句“The article analysed photo editing apps' bad influences on people's selfrespect and their possibility to cause appearance anxieties.”可知,修图软件很可能会对人们的自尊产生不良影响以及让人们对自己的外貌感到焦虑。故选B项。
3.When it comes to appearance, why do many young people suffer an identity trouble?
A.Because they compare their looks to those of famous people.
B.Because beauty standards are set by social media.
C.Because their feelings of selfworth depend on their own likes and dislikes.
D.Because their feelings of selfworth depend on their appearance.
解析:选D。细节理解题。根据第三段中的“From birth, they are born into an age of social platforms where their feelings of selfworth can be based purely on the number of likes and followers that they have, which is linked to how good they look” 可知,他们出生在一个社交平台的时代,在这个时代里,他们的自我价值感完全基于他们收到的点赞数量和粉丝数量,粉丝数量和点赞数量越多,意味着他们更漂亮。由此可知,许多年轻人都有身份认同问题是因为他们的自我价值感取决于他们的外表。故选D项。
4.According to Engeln, what should we do?
A.We should feel good about what we actually look like.
B.We should spend more time making comparison of our real self to fake self.
C.We should take a mirror with us everywhere.
D.We should try to look as good as ourselves in the filtered photos.
解析:选A。细节理解题。根据最后一段中的“So when we look in a real mirror, we shouldn't think to ourselves,‘Do I look as good as myself in the filtered photos?’ Instead, we should think, ‘I feel good; I have my health.’”可知,根据恩格尔恩的观点,我们应该认可自己真实的外表。故选A项。

1.解析:a。考查不定冠词。句意:上周日深夜,在中国西南部云南省的一个偏远山村,人群爆发出热烈的掌声。此处泛指“一个偏远的山村”,故应用不定冠词,且remote为辅音音素开头,故填a。

8.解析:from。考查固定搭配。句意:同时,通过保护完好的森林生态系统,防止昆虫啃食植物,从而生产出不使用农药和化肥的优质有机茶叶。此处为“阻止……做某事……”,表达为prevent...from...,故填from。
