One day at work, I found myself wanting to go travelling. As I didn’t have any friends there, I decided it was the perfect opportunity to go on my first ever solo (独自的) trip. Therefore, I quickly started doing research on where I’d like to go. I had never travelled alone before, especially overseas, so I decided to sign up for a guided group that was going rock climbing in Thailand. This gave me a sense of safety. It felt like a great way to try being alone and meeting strangers, and doing something that sounded really fun and engaging for 2 weeks. The entire Thailand trip forced me out of so many comfort zones that ended up being one of the big turning points of my life. The time I spent in Thailand navigating (导航) airports and taxis alone, meeting a group of complete strangers, and doing rock climbing with them in often remote parts of the country, ended up being one of the greatest experiences of my life. Up until this point I had always considered myself a “shy” person, but this travel experience lit me up to become different. It showed me a brave, strong, and self-sufficient (自立的) side of myself that went on to influence my life when I returned home. When I got back, I pretty much devoted my life to spending as much time as possible outdoors: climbing, hiking, or backpacking... basically doing things that I once thought I “couldn’t” or was “too scared of”. Today, about 6 years later, I’m an outdoor coach and backpacking educator. My trip to Thailand was the chance that I needed to make that change. It showed me what was possible. It changed the path of my life, and I’ll forever hold Thailand (and all the people I met) in a special place in my heart. 4. Why did the author choose a guided group in Thailand? A. For too much work. B. For a sense of freshness. C. For safety. D. For no friends. 5. What did the author do during her first trip overseas? A. She made friends with taxi drivers. B. She climbed rocks with several strangers. C. She experienced city walk. D. She stayed in her comfort zone. 6. How is Paragraph 4 mainly developed? A By exploring reasons. B. By making definitions. C. By listing numbers. D. By giving examples. 7. Which of the following can best describe the author? A. Strong and independent. B. Outgoing and humorous. C. Shy and careful. D. Brave and lonely. 【答案】4.

A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文，讲述了作者大学毕业后，因渴望旅行且身边无朋友，选择参加去泰国攀岩的有导游带领的旅行团开启首次独自旅行。这次泰国之行成为作者人生的转折点，让她发现了自己勇敢、坚强和自立的一面，回国后她投身户外活动，最终成为户外教练和背包旅行教育者。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“I had never travelled alone before, especially overseas, so I decided to sign up for a guided group that was going rock climbing in Thailand. This gave me a sense of safety(我以前从未独自旅行过，尤其是出国旅行，所以我决定报名参加一个有导游带领的去泰国攀岩的旅行团。这给了我一种安全感)” 可知，作者选择有导游带领的泰国旅行团是为了安全。故选C。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“The time I spent in Thailand navigating (导航) airports and taxis alone, meeting a group of complete strangers, and doing rock climbing with them in often remote parts of the country, ended up being one of the greatest experiences of my life.(我在泰国独自穿梭于机场和乘坐出租车，结识了一群完全陌生的人，并和他们在泰国偏远地区攀岩，这些经历最终成为我人生中最棒的经历之一)” 可知，作者在首次海外旅行中与几个陌生人一起攀岩。故选B。 【6题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段“When I got back, I pretty much devoted my life to spending as much time as possible outdoors: climbing, hiking, or backpacking... basically doing things that I once thought I “couldn’t” or was “too scared of”.(回国后，我几乎把生活都投入到尽可能多地进行户外活动中：攀岩、徒步旅行或背包旅行…… 基本上都是我曾经认为自己“做不到”或“太害怕”去做的事情)”可知，通过列举攀岩、徒步旅行、背包旅行等户外活动的例子，说明作者回国后积极投身户外活动的情况。故选D。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段“It showed me a brave, strong, and self-sufficient (自立的) side of myself that went on to influence my life when I returned home..(它让我看到了自己勇敢、坚强和自立的一面，这种特质在我回国后继续影响着我的生活)” 以及第四段提到作者成为户外教练和背包旅行教育者可知，作者是坚强且独立的。故选A。 C Artificial intelligence (AI) researchers were able to successfully create a machine learning model, which was capable of learning words using footage (镜头) gotten by a young child wearing a head-cam. The findings could throw new light on the ways children learn language and potentially inform researchers’ efforts to build future machine learning models that learn more like humans. Previous research guessed children tend to begin acquiring their first words around 6 to 9 months of age. By their second birthday, the average kid masters around 300 words in their vocabulary toolkit (工具包). But the actual mechanism of exactly how children come to connect meaning with words remains unclear and a point of scientific debate. Researchers from New York University’s Centre for Data Science tried to explore this gray area further by creating an AI model that tried to learn the same way a child does. To train the model, the researchers relied on over 60 hours of video and audio recordings pulled from a light head camera tied to a child named Sam. The kid wore the camera on and off starting when he was six months old and ending after his second birthday. Over those 19 months, the camera collected over 600,000 video frames (帧) connected to more than 37,500 recorded speeches from nearby people. The background chatter and video frames pulled from the head-cam provides a glimpse (一瞥) into the experience of a developing child as it eats, plays, and generally experiences the world around them. Armed with Sam’s eyes and ears, the researchers then created a neural (神经) network model to try and make sense of what Sam was seeing and hearing. The model, which had one module (模块) analyzing single frames taken from the camera and another focused on recorded speech direct towards Sam. Like a child, the model learned by linking words with particular objects and visuals when they happened to co-occur at the same time. “I was surprised how much today’s AI systems are able to learn when exposed to quite a minimal amount of data of the sort a child actually receives when they are learning a language,” Professor Lake said. 8. What is the author’s purpose to write Paragraph 1? A. To show evidence. B. To lead in the main topic. C. To raise a question. D. To offer some examples. 9. Why did scientists create an AI model? A. To understand the causes of children ’ s brain development. B. To analyze the social factors affecting children’s language acquisition. C. To explore the effectiveness of different ways of language learning. D. To examine the unclear area of how children link meaning to words. 10. How does the author support the theme of the text? A. By stating opinions. B. By making a guess. C. By describing processes. D. By making comparisons. 11. What is Professor Lake’s attitude to the research? A. Doubtful. B. Favourable. C. Unclear. D. Unconcerned. 【答案】8. B 9. D 10. C 11. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。人工智能研究人员成功创建了一个机器学习模型，该模型能够使用戴着头戴摄像头的小孩拍摄的视频来学习单词。这些发现可能会为儿童学习语言的方式提供新的线索并可能为研究人员建立未来更像人类学习的机器学习模型提供信息。 【8题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“Artificial intelligence (AI) researchers were able to successfully create a machine learning model, which was capable of learning words using footage (镜头) gotten by a young child wearing a head-cam. The findings could throw new light on the ways children learn language and potentially inform researchers’ efforts to build future machine learning models that learn more like humans.(人工智能（AI）研究人员成功创建了一种机器学习模型，该模型可以通过戴着头戴摄像头的幼儿拍摄的视频来学习单词。这些发现可能会为儿童学习语言的方式提供新的线索，并可能为研究人员建立未来更像人类学习的机器学习模型提供信息)”可推知，作者写第一段的目的是引出本文的主要话题。故选B。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“But the actual mechanism of exactly how children come to connect meaning with words remains unclear and a point of scientific debate. Researchers from New York University’s Centre for Data Science tried to explore this gray area further by creating an AI model that tried to learn the same way a child does.(但是，儿童如何将意义与单词联系起来的实际机制尚不清楚，也是科学争论的焦点。纽约大学数据科学中心（New York University’s Centre for Data Science）的研究人员试图进一步探索这一灰色地带，他们创建了一个人工智能模型，试图像孩子一样学习)”可知，儿童如何将意义与词汇联系仍不明确（gray area），研究人员通过AI模型探索这一机制。故选D。 【10题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段“Over those 19 months, the camera collected over 600,000 video frames (帧) connected to more than 37,500 recorded speeches from nearby people. The background chatter and video frames pulled from the head-cam provides a glimpse (一瞥) into the experience of a developing child as it eats, plays, and generally experiences the world around them.(在这19个月里，摄像机收集了超过60万帧视频，连接了37500多份来自附近人群的演讲录音。从头部摄像头提取的背景对话和视频帧提供了对发育中的儿童的体验的一瞥，因为它吃东西，玩耍，以及对周围世界的一般体验)”以及第四段“The model, which had one module (模块) analyzing single frames taken from the camera and another focused on recorded speech direct towards Sam. Like a child, the model learned by linking words with particular objects and visuals when they happened to co-occur at the same time.(这个模型有一个模块分析摄像机拍摄的单个帧，另一个模块专注于直接对萨姆录制的语音。像孩子一样，这个模型通过将单词与特定的物体和视觉效果联系起来来学习，当它们碰巧同时出现时)”可知，第三段详细说明录像和音频数据，第四段解释模型模块。由此推知，作者主要通过描述研究过程来阐述全文的重点。 故选C。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段““I was surprised how much today’s AI systems are able to learn when exposed to quite a minimal amount of data of the sort a child actually receives when they are learning a language,” Professor Lake said.(莱克教授说：“我很惊讶，今天的人工智能系统在接触到孩子学习语言时实际接收到的那种极少量数据的情况下，就能学习到这么多。”)”可知，莱克教授表示“惊讶于AI系统能从类似儿童的数据中学到如此多”，用词积极（surprised, able to learn）。由此推知，其对该研究持肯定态度。故选B。 D It is a popular viewpoint that time spent online is bad for our health because surfing the Internet or checking our phones sometimes takes us away from activities which are considered healthier, such as playing sports or socializing. As the digital economy develops, such behavior is often linked to reduced well-being. However, a new global study has found a surprising answer: The Internet might be good for you. The University of Oxford researchers studied data on the psychological (心理的) well-being of over 2 million people across 168 countries between 2006 and 2021. They looked at 8 indicators (标志) of well-being among the individuals, who were aged 15 to 99, including life satisfaction, daily negative and positive experiences and physical health. The researchers applied well-being indicators to test the relationship between Internet use and well-being outcomes. They found that Internet access was related to positive well-being among some people. Despite the study’s overall positive findings, however, the link between Internet access and positive well-being was fainter for young women. While some links between Internet connectivity and well-being were positive, some links were negative — with the most observed among women aged 15 to 24 years old. The researchers state that many studies have shown social media use to be connected with greater depression, especially among young women. A systematic review of research into the topic found higher levels of social media use were connected with worse mental health outcomes, and higher levels of social media use were connected with an increased risk of internalizing and externalizing difficulties among youths, especially females. The same report also noted that the impacts of social media on mental health are complex (复杂的), as different goals are served by different behaviors, and different outcomes are produced by different patterns of use. All in all, social media use offers both benefits and risks to the health of young people, so particularly, teenage students should treat it properly. 12. What did the University of Oxford researchers study? A. The influence of social media on physical health. B The mental health of people in different countries. C. The effects of outdoor activities on physical health. D. The relationship between Internet use and mental health. 13. What does the underlined word “fainter” in paragraph 3 mean? A. Weaker. B. Closer. C. More obvious. D. More complex. 14. What does the last paragraph mainly talk about? A. The benefits of social media for women. B. The effects of social media on youths. C. The increased risks of human socialization. D. The difficulties of research on human connection. 15. Which part of a magazine is the text probably taken from? A. Sport and health. B. Economy and life. C. Technology and society. D. Philosophy and psychology. 【答案】12. D 13. A 14. B 15. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章讲述互联网对幸福感的影响复杂，社交媒体对青少年利弊并存，需理性使用。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“The researchers applied well-being indicators to test the relationship between Internet use and well-being outcomes. They found that Internet access was related to positive well-being among some people. (研究人员运用幸福感指标来测试互联网使用与幸福感结果之间的关系。他们发现，对一些人来说，上网与积极的幸福感有关。)”可知，研究通过分析互联网接入与幸福感指标的关系，探讨互联网使用对心理健康的影响，即网络使用与心理健康的关系。故选D。 【13题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第三段“Despite the study’s overall positive findings (尽管这项研究总体上是积极的)”及“While some links between Internet connectivity and well-being were positive, some links were negative — with the most observed among women aged 15 to 24 years old. The researchers state that many studies have shown social media use to be connected with greater depression, especially among young women. (虽然互联网连接和幸福感之间有一些积极的联系，但也有一些消极的联系——在15至24岁的女性中观察到的联系最多。研究人员表示，许多研究表明，社交媒体的使用与更大的抑郁有关，尤其是在年轻女性中。)”可知，前文指出互联网连接与幸福感之间有一些积极的联系，而后文补充年轻女性使用社交媒体更易抑郁，二者形成转折对比，由此推断互联网连接与年轻女性的幸福感之间关系不大，由此推断划线单词的含义是“关联性较弱，并无明显联系”。故选A。 【14题详解】 主旨大意题。根据最后一段“All in all, social media use offers both benefits and risks to the health of young people, so particularly, teenage students should treat it properly. (总而言之，社交媒体的使用对年轻人的健康既有好处也有风险，所以青少年学生尤其应该正确对待它。)”可知，最后一段聚焦社交媒体对青少年（尤其是女性）心理健康的影响，强调利弊并存，即最后一段主要讲述社交媒体对年轻人的影响。故选B。 15题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“As the digital economy develops, such behavior is often linked to reduced well-being. (随着数字经济的发展，这种行为往往与幸福感下降有关。)”以及最后一段“All in all, social media use offers both benefits and risks to the health of young people, so particularly, teenage students should treat it properly. (总而言之，社交媒体的使用对年轻人的健康既有好处也有风险，所以青少年学生尤其应该正确对待它。)”可知，全文围绕互联网技术对心理健康和社会行为的影响展开，由此推断本文主要出自杂志中技术与社会部分。故选C。 第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 People are more willing than ever to embrace (拥抱) a cleaner lifestyle. ___16___ .

Yet so few of us realize them. Often, a dream dies as quickly as it is born because we lack the confidence to keep it. When I was old enough to understand the realities of life, I realized that society puts a high value on youth, beauty and intellectual achievement. This discovery gave me some idea to develop my dream. I know beauty is something I will never have. So I didn't dream of becoming beautiful. But I didn't see it as something bad because it forced me to concentrate my energy to develop my other qualities. What people see in the disabled is only their appearance of being disabled. People are not impressed with the ability that lies inside every disabled person. My dream was simple. I dreamed of becoming a typist. I always hoped to be able to master the typewriter. This magic machine would be my passport to getting a job. I come from a poor family and the best that my parents could give me was a good school education. But, of course, this achievement proved to be no sure guarantee of getting a job in an office. The employment field was a highly competitive place, especially for a disabled job-seeker. However, I refused to give in. I decided to take a six-month training course in typing. I filled in the detailed information in the application form and wrote down typing as my training course. When I handed over the form to the interviewer, she looked at me and then moved her eyes to my body. She left and discussed with another member of the staff. When the interviewer returned, she advised me to change my choice from typing. “Why don’ t you take up dressmaking so you can earn while at home?” she said. “Offices prefer to hire smartly dressed, pretty girls with beautiful hands,” she added. 注意： 1.续写词数应为150左右； 2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 I knew I didn't have those qualifications. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ At the end of the course, I was chosen to type the files from the government office. 【答案】One possible version: I knew I didn’t have those qualifications. But determined to stay with my choice of typing, I looked her straight in the eyes and said firmly, “I will be a really good typist”. With doubt still hanging in her eyes, she admitted me into the course, offering me a one-month trial. Finally, I passed the first knockout round and was allowed to continue with the course. I put more efforts into the training, taking every care to be neat and fast, and finished the assignments quickly and perfectly. At the end of the course, I was chosen to type the files from the government office. Being a typist was just the beginning of the climb and I did not mind starting at the bottom of the ladder. I set out to achieve other dreams. Overcoming one challenge after another, I gradually built up self-confidence, which shaped my positive attitude toward life. Dreamers should keep reaching out for their dreams, no matter what the pain, until they get what they want. When they are settled comfortably, they can sit back and tell the world. “I did it.” 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了作者追求梦想的历程。我们常因缺乏自信让梦想破灭，作者身为残疾人，因社会对青春、美貌和智力成就的看重，且自身没有美貌，决定专注发展其他品质。作者梦想成为打字员，虽出身贫困且身为残疾人面临就业竞争，但未放弃。申请打字培训课程时遭面试官劝阻，仍坚持选择打字并获试用机会，通过努力完成培训。课程结束后为政府办公室打字，视此为起点继续追求其他梦想，在克服挑战中建立自信、形成积极态度。文章以此鼓励追梦者不惧痛苦，坚持追梦直至成功。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“我知道我没有这些资格。”可知，第一段可描写作者决定坚持自己的梦想以及通过了第一轮淘汰赛。 ②由第二段首句内容“在课程结束时，我被选中从政府办公室开始打印文件。”可知，第二段可描写作者开始实现其他的梦想，克服了一个又一个的挑战。 2.续写线索：没有这些资格——决定坚持自己梦想——通过了第一轮淘汰赛——被选中从政府办公室开始打印文件——克服了一个又一个的挑战——感悟 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①提供：offering /providing ②完成：finished /completed ③开始做某事：set out to do/ get down to do 情绪类 ①感谢：showing his appreciation/show his gratitude/be grateful ②痛苦：pain/misery 【点睛】[高分句型1] Overcoming one challenge after another, I gradually built up self-confidence, which shaped my positive attitude toward life.(运用了现在分词作状语及which引导的非限制性定语从句) [高分句型2] When they are settled comfortably, they can sit back and tell the world.(运用了when引导的时间状语从句) 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 2024~2025学年度第二学期期中考试 高一英语 全卷满分150分，考试时间120分钟。 注意事项： 1.答题前，先将自己的姓名、准考证号填写在试卷和答题卡上，并将条形码粘贴在答题卡上的指定位置。 2.请按题号顺序在答题卡上各题目的答题区域内作答，写在试卷、草稿纸和答题卡上的非答题区域均无效。 3.选择题用2B铅笔在答题卡上把所选答案的标号涂黑；非选择题用黑色签字笔在答题卡上作答；字体工整，笔迹清楚。 4.考试结束后，请将试卷和答题卡一并上交。 5.本卷主要考查内容：必修第二册U3~必修第三册U1. 第一部分 听力（共两节，满分30分） 第一节（共5小题；每小题1.5分，满分7.5分） 听下面5段对话。每段对话后有一个小题，从题中所给的A、B、C三个选项中选出最佳选项。听完每段对话后，你都有10秒钟的时间来回答有关小题和阅读下一小题。每段对话仅读一遍。 例: How much is the shirt?

One day at work, I found myself wanting to go travelling. As I didn’t have any friends there, I decided it was the perfect opportunity to go on my first ever solo (独自) trip. Therefore, I quickly started doing research on where I’d like to go. I had never travelled alone before, especially overseas, so I decided to sign up for a guided group that was going rock climbing in Thailand. This gave me a sense of safety. It felt like a great way to try being alone and meeting strangers, and doing something that sounded really fun and engaging for 2 weeks. The entire Thailand trip forced me out of so many comfort zones that ended up being one of the big turning points of my life. The time I spent in Thailand navigating (导航) airports and taxis alone, meeting a group of complete strangers, and doing rock climbing with them in often remote parts of the country, ended up being one of the greatest experiences of my life. Up until this point I had always considered myself a “shy” person, but this travel experience lit me up to become different. It showed me a brave, strong, and self-sufficient (自立的) side of myself that went on to influence my life when I returned home. When I got back, I pretty much devoted my life to spending as much time as possible outdoors: climbing, hiking, or backpacking... basically doing things that I once thought I “couldn’t” or was “too scared of”. Today, about 6 years later, I’m an outdoor coach and backpacking educator. My trip to Thailand was the chance that I needed to make that change. It showed me what was possible. It changed the path of my life, and I’ll forever hold Thailand (and all the people I met) in a special place in my heart. 4. Why did the author choose a guided group in Thailand? A. For too much work. B. For a sense of freshness. C. For safety. D. For no friends. 5. What did the author do during her first trip overseas? A. She made friends with taxi drivers. B. She climbed rocks with several strangers. C. She experienced city walk. D. She stayed in her comfort zone. 6. How is Paragraph 4 mainly developed? A. By exploring reasons. B. By making definitions. C. By listing numbers. D. By giving examples. 7. Which of the following can best describe the author? A. Strong and independent. B. Outgoing and humorous. C. Shy and careful. D. Brave and lonely. C Artificial intelligence (AI) researchers were able to successfully create a machine learning model, which was capable of learning words using footage (镜头) gotten by a young child wearing a head-cam. The findings could throw new light on the ways children learn language and potentially inform researchers’ efforts to build future machine learning models that learn more like humans. Previous research guessed children tend to begin acquiring their first words around 6 to 9 months of age. By their second birthday, the average kid masters around 300 words in their vocabulary toolkit (工具包). But the actual mechanism of exactly how children come to connect meaning with words remains unclear and a point of scientific debate. Researchers from New York University’s Centre for Data Science tried to explore this gray area further by creating an AI model that tried to learn the same way a child does. To train the model, the researchers relied on over 60 hours of video and audio recordings pulled from a light head camera tied to a child named Sam. The kid wore the camera on and off starting when he was six months old and ending after his second birthday. Over those 19 months, the camera collected over 600,000 video frames (帧) connected to more than 37,500 recorded speeches from nearby people. The background chatter and video frames pulled from the head-cam provides a glimpse (一瞥) into the experience of a developing child as it eats, plays, and generally experiences the world around them. Armed with Sam’s eyes and ears, the researchers then created a neural (神经) network model to try and make sense of what Sam was seeing and hearing. The model, which had one module (模块) analyzing single frames taken from the camera and another focused on recorded speech direct towards Sam. Like a child, the model learned by linking words with particular objects and visuals when they happened to co-occur at the same time. “I was surprised how much today’s AI systems are able to learn when exposed to quite a minimal amount of data of the sort a child actually receives when they are learning a language,” Professor Lake said. 8. What is the author’s purpose to write Paragraph 1? A. To show evidence. B. To lead in the main topic. C. To raise a question. D. To offer some examples. 9. Why did scientists create an AI model? A. To understand the causes of children ’ s brain development. B. To analyze the social factors affecting children’s language acquisition. C. To explore the effectiveness of different ways of language learning. D. To examine the unclear area of how children link meaning to words. 10. How does the author support the theme of the text? A. By stating opinions. B. By making a guess. C. By describing processes. D. By making comparisons. 11. What is Professor Lake’s attitude to the research? A. Doubtful. B. Favourable. C. Unclear. D. Unconcerned. D It is a popular viewpoint that time spent online is bad for our health because surfing the Internet or checking our phones sometimes takes us away from activities which are considered healthier, such as playing sports or socializing. As the digital economy develops, such behavior is often linked to reduced well-being. However, a new global study has found a surprising answer: The Internet might be good for you. The University of Oxford researchers studied data on the psychological (心理的) well-being of over 2 million people across 168 countries between 2006 and 2021. They looked at 8 indicators (标志) of well-being among the individuals, who were aged 15 to 99, including life satisfaction, daily negative and positive experiences and physical health. The researchers applied well-being indicators to test the relationship between Internet use and well-being outcomes. They found that Internet access was related to positive well-being among some people. Despite the study’s overall positive findings, however, the link between Internet access and positive well-being was fainter for young women. While some links between Internet connectivity and well-being were positive, some links were negative — with the most observed among women aged 15 to 24 years old. The researchers state that many studies have shown social media use to be connected with greater depression, especially among young women. A systematic review of research into the topic found higher levels of social media use were connected with worse mental health outcomes, and higher levels of social media use were connected with an increased risk of internalizing and externalizing difficulties among youths, especially females. The same report also noted that the impacts of social media on mental health are complex (复杂), as different goals are served by different behaviors, and different outcomes are produced by different patterns of use. All in all, social media use offers both benefits and risks to the health of young people, so particularly, teenage students should treat it properly. 12. What did the University of Oxford researchers study? A. The influence of social media on physical health. B. The mental health of people in different countries. C The effects of outdoor activities on physical health. D. The relationship between Internet use and mental health. 13. What does the underlined word “fainter” in paragraph 3 mean? A. Weaker. B. Closer. C. More obvious. D. More complex. 14. What does the last paragraph mainly talk about? A. The benefits of social media for women. B. The effects of social media on youths. C. The increased risks of human socialization. D. The difficulties of research on human connection. 15. Which part of a magazine is the text probably taken from? A. Sport and health. B.

Yet so few of us realize them. Often, a dream dies as quickly as it is born because we lack the confidence to keep it. When I was old enough to understand the realities of life, I realized that society puts a high value on youth, beauty and intellectual achievement. This discovery gave me some idea to develop my dream. I know beauty is something I will never have. So I didn't dream of becoming beautiful. But I didn't see it as something bad because it forced me to concentrate my energy to develop my other qualities. What people see in the disabled is only their appearance of being disabled. People are not impressed with the ability that lies inside every disabled person. My dream was simple. I dreamed of becoming a typist. I always hoped to be able to master the typewriter. This magic machine would be my passport to getting a job. I come from a poor family and the best that my parents could give me was a good school education. But, of course, this achievement proved to be no sure guarantee of getting a job in an office. The employment field was a highly competitive place, especially for a disabled job-seeker. However, I refused to give in. I decided to take a six-month training course in typing. I filled in the detailed information in the application form and wrote down typing as my training course. When I handed over the form to the interviewer, she looked at me and then moved her eyes to my body. She left and discussed with another member of the staff. When the interviewer returned, she advised me to change my choice from typing. “Why don’ t you take up dressmaking so you can earn while at home?” she said. “Offices prefer to hire smartly dressed, pretty girls with beautiful hands,” she added. 注意： 1.续写词数应为150左右； 2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 I knew I didn't have those qualifications. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ At the end of the course, I was chosen to type the files from the government office. 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
