Step 3 读后——课文语法填空
Some digital identities,1.known(know) as avatars,are a key part of how people use the Internet to communicate.The first simple 2D avatars appeared in 2.the 1980s.By the late 1990s,they 3.had been used(use) in web chats.Nowadays,they are everywhere.People can choose an avatar 4.from a selection of ready-made images,or create their own avatars that can talk,walk and fly around.The avatar you choose says a lot about your personality.When you choose a picture of a cute cat,you want to say,“I like relaxing and having fun”.Cartoon characters or laughing monkeys express “I am a really 5.funny(fun) person”.Some people make a few improvements and also experiment with things like different hairstyles.
Avatars let you express 6.yourself(you) and give you a lot of room for creativity.When people start creating their own avatars,they find they have the power to create new identities 7.that/which did not look or act like their real selves.
But the use of avatars has also caused a few 8.concerns(concern).Some worry that they are spending so much time in virtual worlds that they are becoming afraid of 9.meeting(meet) people in the real world.Some people even use avatars 10.to cheat(cheat) others online,which is also a risk.

Ⅲ.阅读理解(每小题2.5分,共10分)
(2024·河南南阳高一期末)
Traditionally,the number of meaningful social relationships one can maintain is around 150.This concept finds its roots in the natural development of the human brain.However,in the digital age,where our social connections extend far beyond the geographical boundaries(界限),we easily create more connections with the help of the rising online platforms.Then,a question arises:Does the digital age rewrite the rules of social connection?
A study published in Cyberpsychology,Behavior,and Social Networking explored the effect of social media usage on the size of social circles and the closeness of relationships.The researchers found that more time spent on social media made for a larger number of online “friends”,but not a larger number of offline friends.Further,the findings were not linked to feelings of closeness towards online or offline friends.
Another study from the European Journal of Information Systems studied the link between social media usage and “social overload”—the feeling that too much of the energy for socializing is being used up by online relationships.The authors found that social media usage directly contributed to the experience of social overload,related to digital tiredness and dissatisfaction with social media.
With social media platforms rising,one’s ability to connect with people challenges the traditional concept.The brain,used to manage a limited number of relationships,now fights against the difficulties of dealing with a large number of digital connections,leading to a less attention and feeling investment(投入) in a relationship.And the online shallow connections can not develop meaningful,lasting relationships that stand the test of digital distance.
Therefore,in the digital age’s social whirlwind,instead of drowning(淹没) in a sea of weak interaction(互动),choose to engage in meaningful conversations and focus on the handful of relationships that truly fit your heart.Hug the beauty of face-to-face connections,allowing the richness of human interaction to flower beyond the digital world.By doing so,we create digital and physical spaces that truly improve our well-being.
语篇解读 本文是一篇议论文。数字时代下,随着社交媒体平台的兴起,人们会与更多在线朋友建立联系,导致了社交超负荷,挑战了社交联系的传统规则。作者在最后建议进行面对面的联系,参与有意义的对话,专注于少数真正适合自己内心的关系。
1.Why did the author mention the traditional concept in the first paragraph?
A.To tell a story.
B.To introduce the topic.
C.To show his sincerity.
D.To give an example.
答案 B
解析 推理判断题。第一段讲述了与传统上相比较,数字时代能够使人们建立更多关系,但也产生了这是否会改写社会联系规则的问题。由此可推测出,作者提到传统概念是为了引出接下来的主题。故选B。
2.What can we learn from the first study?
A.Online relationships were closer.
B.Spending more time online improved one’s health.
C.Social media usage had no effect on one’s social circles.
D.The large online social circles didn’t mean the large number of offline friends.
答案 D
解析 推理判断题。根据第二段中的“The researchers found that more time spent on social media made for a larger number of online ‘friends’,but not a larger number of offline friends.”可知,在社交媒体上花的时间越多,网上的朋友会越多,但线下的朋友却不多,由此可推测出,网上社交圈大并不意味着有许多线下朋友。故选D。
3.What is the disadvantage of engaging in too many relationships?
A.It results in one’s less attention to a relationship.
B.It causes the brain to break down and damages the health.
C.It leads to expression errors when one socializes with friends.
D.It develops lasting connections that stand the test of distance.
答案 A
解析 细节理解题。根据第四段中的“The brain...dealing with a large number of digital connections,leading to a less attention and feeling investment(投入) in a relationship.”可知,参与太多的关系会导致对一段关系的关注减少。故选A。
4.What is a suitable title for the text?
A.Offline Relationships:The Source of Well-being
B.Social Overload:Do You Have Too Many Friends?
C.Social Media:The Source of Making for Lots of Offline Friends
D.Online Friends:The Cause of Digital Dissatisfaction
答案 B
解析 标题归纳题。纵观全文,尤其根据第一、三、四段可知,本文主要讨论了数字时代社交超负荷的问题,B项“社交超负荷:你有太多的朋友吗?”符合题意。故选B。

语篇解读 本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了筷子的历史、用途和种类。
1.答案 Used
解析 考查非谓语动词。分析句子结构可知,use(使用)用非谓语动词形式,与其逻辑主语chopsticks之间是被动关系,用过去分词表被动。句首单词首字母要大写。故填Used。
2.答案 came
解析 考查动词时态。分析句子可知,come是句中谓语动词,与主语chopsticks之间是主动关系,句中有时间状语at least 3,000 years ago,应使用一般过去时态。故填came。
3.答案 development
解析 考查名词。提示词作主语,用名词development,意为“发展”,不可数名词。故填development。
4.答案 a
解析 考查冠词。a variety of是固定短语,意为“各种各样的”。故填a。
5.答案 groups
解析 考查名词。in groups是固定短语,意为“成群地,成队地”。故填groups。
6.答案 conveniently
解析 考查副词。提示词修饰动词reach,用副词conveniently作状语,意为“便利地”。故填conveniently。
7.答案 to be
解析 考查不定式。tend to do 是固定短语。故填to be。
8.答案 which
解析 考查定语从句。分析句子可知,空格处单词引导非限制性定语从句,修饰先行词Korean chopsticks,指物,关系词代替先行词在定语从句中作主语,应使用关系代词which引导该从句。故填which。
9.答案 are sold
解析 考查时态、语态和主谓一致。sell是句中谓语动词,与主语chopsticks之间是被动关系,结合时间状语Today可知,用一般现在时态,又因主语是复数名词,所以谓语动词也应使用复数形式。故填are sold。
10.答案 and
解析 考查连词。between...and...是固定搭配,意为“在……和……之间”。故填and。
