W: It sounds like the whole idea of “going out” will die. How strange! So what does all of this mean for traditional communication?
M: I’m afraid people won’t be doing much of that. We’ll be doing most of our communicating online.
W: Do you think we will lose the art of real conversation?
M: I think that could be a real problem. I worry that young people will become more lonely without any real face-to-face communication.
W: So we shouldn’t be glad about the future?
M: Well, all I can say is that for better or worse, we’ll be leading very different lives.

Their weekly lessons in small classes are so popular that there is a waiting list of 30 children who want to do the course. Parents pay $50 for each class where their children can have fun and learn how to make good food. Class member Bill, aged 10 says that he thought the teachers would be strict but actually they make the students laugh, especially when the students sit down with the teachers to share the food they’ve made.Flora is twelve.She says that she loves cooking and she used to do a meal for ten friends which they really enjoyed.Then her mother suggested she develop this hobby, instead of doing nothing at weekends.She was happy staying at home, so she wasn’t too interested at first. But now, she is really glad she decided to attend the classes. Their teacher, Philippe thinks the course is great fun, and children pay attention and remember things better than adults, although the kitchen isn’t always tidy when they’re cooking! He suggests that if parents interest their children in cooking while they are young, they’ll have enough skills to make food for themselves when they leave home.

第一节 (共15小题;每小题2.5分,满分37.5分)
阅读下列短文,从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。
A
Try one of these amazing destinations on your next vacation.
Mallorca
On the popular Spanish island of Mallorca, farmhouse inns focus more on providing isolation and quietness than offering hands-on farming experiences. With millions of visitors staying on the beaches of Mallorca and the other Balearic Islands each summer, a little bit of isolation is a good thing for aloneness-seeking travelers. Mainly located in the hills of inland Mallorca, these inns range from rustic century-old farmhouses to luxury(奢侈的) villas with spas and swimming pools.
Hawaii
People who don't want to dig out their passport but still want their farm adventure can head to the island of Hawaii. The 50th state talks much about the well-developed farm tourism industry that can hold people with different interests. Agritourism choices range from visiting coffee plantations(种植园) in the Big Island's Kona region to exploring the plantations on Maui to staying on farms on the easily reachable island of Oahu.
California
California is one of the best places in the U. S. to enjoy a farm-stay, thanks to the diversity of crops and farms. Small family farms and large farms offer a more hands-on approach to agritourism. Many of them teach small-scale farming techniques and even offer strategies for organic growing. The University of California system, one of the largest state-run higher education systems in the U.S., has a small-farm program that helps growers create agritourism businesses.
Philippine Islands
With diverse conditions on different islands, the Philippine Islands are ideal places for visiting multiple agritourism sites or focusing on one product. Tourists can visit a huge pineapple plantation for a taste of large-scale agriculture, or they could focus on smaller operations such as bee farms, and even small plantations that specialize in growing tropical produce such as dragon fruit.
21. What kind of people will choose to go to Mallorca?
A. Those who prefer peace of mind.
B. Those who like lying on the beach.
C. Those who enjoy the luxury of tourism.
D. Those who want to experience farming.
22. What can people do on the Philippine Islands?
A. Live in farmhouses.
B. Visit plantations.
C. Learn farming techniques.
D. Take part in a farm program.
23. What are the four places in the text famous for?
A. Locations.
B. Environments.
C. Local products.
D. Tourism features.
【答案】21. A 22. B 23. D
【解析】

S. to enjoy a farm-stay, thanks to the diversity of crops and farms. ”(由于农作物和农场的多样性,加州是美国享受农场住宿的最佳地方之一)及Philippine Islands的首句“With diverse conditions on different islands, the Philippine Islands are ideal places for visiting multiple agritourism sites or focusing on one product.”(由于不同岛屿的条件不同,菲律宾群岛是游览多个农业旅游景点或专注于一种产品的理想地点)可以推测,四处旅游场景以各自的旅游特色而闻名。故选D项。

When did you last write a letter? Properly write on—by hand? In a digital world, where sending a text or email is far more convenient than using snail mail, is the writing on the wall for traditional pen and paper? Well, some people claim that writing still has many benefits, so maybe it's not time to ditch your ballpoint(圆珠笔)or fountain pen(钢笔)yet.
These days, when people request things in writing, a typed, electronic document will be accepted. Doing this on a computer means it could be saved, edited, copied and sent via email. But crafting a handwriting document is unique: It requires planning and thought, and, as well as practising your handwriting, it helps you to remember spelling and punctuation.
Some experts believe your brain benefits from using old-fashioned pen and paper. This is particularly relevant for students,where typing notes into a laptop is thought to lack the "tactile feedback"(触觉反馈)to the brain that contact between pen and paper docs. BBC Worklife website quotes Hetty Roessingh from the University of Calgary,who says that "taking notes by hand involves cognitive(认知的)engagement in summarizing, adapting, organizing. concept and vocabulary mapping. Others agree that handwriting may boost fine motor skills in your hands and fingers.
There are everyday benefits to using pen and paper too. Scribbling(涂狗)notes,shopping lists or messages on the back of an envelope can still be useful, quick and portable. But putting pen to paper in a letter to a friend or loved one can probably have the most impact. Pen pal writer Katherine Moller told the BBC: "In a world where it is so easy to hop online to email or to send a fast text, it is so personal and so precious to know someone chose to turn off the virtual world to spend some time with you."
So, while digital skills remain important, don't write off your pens and pencils yet—especially if your smartphone, tablet or laptop runs out of power!
28. What does the underlined word "ditch"mean in the first paragraph?
A. Write. B. Abandon.
C. Save. D. Choose.
29. What does the writer want to emphasize in Paragraph 2?
A. The popularity of electronic documents.
B. The convenience of electronic documents.
C. The special features of handwritten documents.
D. The basic requirements of handwritten documents.
30. Which of the following is the benefit of writing by hand?
A. It fully develops your hand muscles.
B. It helps you to practise your handwriting.
C. It strengthens the bond between pen and paper.
D. It sharpens your comprehensive cognitive abilities.
31. What can we infer from Katherine Moller's words?
A. It is necessary for us to turn off the virtual world.
B. Scribbling notes should be practised in our daily life.
C. Using paper and pen has the greatest impact on our daily life.
D. Writing a letter by hand can be a touching and valuable experience.
【答案】28. B 29. C 30. D 31. D
【解析】
【分析】这是一篇说明文。一些专家认为用手书写在很多方面对人们有好处。因此虽然数字技能很重要,但不要放弃你的笔。
【28题详解】
词句猜测题。根据划线部分所在句子“Well, some people claim that writing still has many benefits, so maybe it's not time to ditch your ballpoint(圆珠笔)or fountain pen(钢笔)yet.(好吧,有些人声称写作仍然有很多好处,所以也许现在还不是ditch你圆珠笔或钢笔的时候)”可知,一些人认为用手写东西有很多好处。因此推知,现在可能还不是放弃你的圆珠笔或钢笔的时候,即划线词意为 “放弃”,与abandon同义。故选B。
【29题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段的“But crafting a handwriting document is unique: It requires planning and thought, and, as well as practising your handwriting, it helps you to remember spelling and punctuation.(但是完成手写文件是独一无二的:它需要计划和思考,而且,除了练习你的书写,它还帮助你记住拼写和标点符号) ”推知,第二段旨在强调手写文件的特点。故选C。
【30题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段的“BBC Worklife website quotes Hetty Roessingh from the University of Calgary,who says that "taking notes by hand involves cognitive(认知的)engagement in summarizing, adapting, organizing, concept and vocabulary mapping. (英国广播公司WorkLoad网站援引卡尔加里大学的Hetty Roessingh的话,他说“用手记笔记包括在总结、适应、组织、概念和词汇映射方面的认知参与”)”可知,手写有助于提高你的综合认知能力。故选D。
【31题详解】
推理判断题。根据倒数第二段的“Pen pal writer Katherine Moller told the BBC: "In a world where it is so easy to hop online to email or to send a fast text, it is so personal and so precious to know someone chose to turn off the virtual world to spend some time with you."(笔友作家凯瑟琳·莫勒告诉英国广播公司说:“在一个人们很容易上网发电子邮件或快速短信的世界里,知道有人愿意关掉虚拟世界和你共度时光是一件非常私人、非常珍贵的事情。”)”推知,手写一封信是一次感人而宝贵的经历,因为这体现了写信人对收信人的关心。故选D。
【点睛】
D
We’ve had waves of panic around technology for decades, whether it is comic books or video games. Now it happens to be social media. And the fact of the matter is that parents and teachers, who are trying to raise their kids in the face of these panics, are being poorly served by the government when it comes to getting meaningful advice.
It's not that social media is good or bad for people. It's that the science of social media and mental health is broken. We need to do research, but we shouldn’t be approaching it from the perspective that the world is ending. We need to be curious and open to the possibility of its effects, positive and negative.
The danger for policymakers or parents is that if you pretend that social media is a problem, without having evidence, and you take steps to regulate it, the intervention (妨碍)could end up being really bad for young people. You might be taking away a lifeline for vulnerable (脆弱的) kids or free them of their human right to play, which is morally reprehensible(受谴责的) at the best of times, let alone during a pandemic.
So that's why I'm not going to tell you that I know social media is bad. It's perfectly reasonable for parents and teachers to be concerned about social media, but it's unavoidable and young people are going to encounter it sooner or later. So what would you rather do: keep them in the dark and leave them ill-equipped to deal with it or let them learn about social media with your help and support? It's a little like learning to ride a bike. Bikes can be huge fun to ride, but you can also hurt yourself on them, which is why you don't just give your kid a bike and a helmet and wish them good luck. You help them learn to ride. Similarly, you're not asking your 14-year-old daughter to choose between telling you someone scary is messaging her or losing her phone. You need to treat it like anything else that can hurt you, but can also connect you.
32. What does this wave of panic refer to now according to the passage ?
A. Technology B. Comic books C. Video games D. Social media
33. What should we do to help our children?
A. Give them some instructions
B. Ask the experts for help
C. Go to the special treatment center
D. Free them of their human right to play
34. What is the author’s attitude towards the social media?
A. Doubtful B. Supportive C. Neutral D. Indifferent
35. Which of the following statements does the author agree with ?
A. Parents should let children learn about social media on their own.
B. The world is ending as a result of the negative effects of social meaia.
C. Parents should be cautious when regulating children’s using social media.
D. Parents are advised not to give kids helmets when they learn to ride a bike.
【答案】32. D 33. A 34. C 35. C
【解析】
【分析】本文是一篇说明文。主要讲述了社交媒体带来的科技恐慌。社交媒体无所谓好坏,决策者和家长应该给予孩子们正确的指导。
【32题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段的第一、二句“We’ve had waves of panic around technology for decades, whether it is comic books or video games. Now it happens to be social media.(几十年来,无论是漫画书还是电子游戏,我们都经历了一波又一波的科技恐慌。现在是社交媒体。)”可知,目前新一波的科技恐慌来自社交媒体。故选D项。
【33题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段第三句“So what would you rather do: keep them in the dark and leave them ill-equipped to deal with it or let them learn about social media with your help and support? It's a little like learning to ride a bike.(所以,你更愿意做什么呢:把他们蒙在黑暗中,让他们无法应对,还是让他们在你的帮助和支持下了解社交媒体? 这有点像学骑自行车。)”可知,面对社交媒体,我们应该给予孩子们支持,就像孩子们学习骑自行车一样。因此,给予孩子们指导符合文意,故选A项。
【34题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段第一句“It's not that social media is good or bad for people. It's that the science of social media and mental health is broken.(这并不是说社交媒体对人们是好是坏。而是社交媒体和心理健康的科学被打破了。)”可知,社交媒体本身无所谓好坏。再者,根据第二段最后一句“We need to be curious and open to the possibility of its effects, positive and negative.(我们需要对其可能产生的积极和消极影响保持好奇和开放的心态。)”可知,作者认为社交媒体所产生的影响既有积极的一面也有消极的一面,因此,作者对于社交媒体的态度是中立的,故选C项。
【35题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段第三句“So what would you rather do: keep them in the dark and leave them ill-equipped to deal with it or let them learn about social media with your help and support?(所以,你更愿意做什么呢:把他们蒙在黑暗中,让他们无法应对,还是让他们在你的帮助和支持下了解社交媒体?)”可知,作者通过反义疑问句的形式说明,家长不能让孩子们独自应对社交媒体带来的影响,因此A选项与原文意思相反,故排除。同时,根据最后一段第四句“…which is why you don't just give your kid a bike and a helmet and wish them good luck.(这就是为什么你不能给你的孩子一辆自行车和一个头盔并祝他们好运呢?)”可知,作者通过举例论证和反义疑问句的形式表明,家长应该给予孩子帮助,因此排除选项D。根据第二段的第三、四句“We need to do research, but we shouldn’t be approaching it from the perspective that the world is ending. We need to be curious and open to the possibility of its effects, positive and negative.(我们需要做研究,但我们不应该从世界末日的角度来看待它。我们需要对其可能产生的积极和消极影响保持好奇和开放的心态。)”可知,作者不赞同世界末日归因于社交网络,因此排除选项B。根据第三段第一句“The danger for policymakers or parents is that if you pretend that social media is a problem, without having evidence, and you take steps to regulate it, the intervention (妨碍)could end up being really bad for young people.(决策者或父母面临的危险是如果你认为社交媒体是一个问题,但是没有证据,你就采取措施来规范它,那么这种干预最终可能真地害了年轻人。)”可知,作者认为家长干预孩子接触社交媒体的行为应该慎之又慎,故选C项。
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。
What makes you cry? Being moved by a sad movie, waving a loved one off, or getting emotional after splitting up with your partner can all cause tears to roll down our faces. _______36_______
When you think about it, shedding tears from your eyes can cause embarrassment or confusion. But it seems to be an automatic reaction when we get sad or upset. _________37_________ However, the feeling is the same – your cheeks puff up, your eyes tighten and before you know it, tears are streaming down your face. Some of us may weep a little while others might cry like a baby.
A study in the UK in 2017 found that women admitted they cry 72 times a year. This was, on average, more than men. Adam Rutherford, lead researcher, says that the result has been pretty much consistent with previous research. ________38________Are they just more embarrassed about showing their true feelings? The debate continues.
One place where we experience emotional and tearful outbursts is in the workplace.___39___ Someone might be stressed with a heavy workload. And, as therapist Joanna Cross put it, “crying is often a build-up of frustration and undealt-with situations and it’s a bit of a final straw moment.” She describes how someone might start weeping when they’re just asked to make a cup of tea. Actually, their stress has accumulated to the breaking point.
But crying in the office or elsewhere can be an effective stress reliever. It can actually make you feel better.______40______Crying your eyes out shows others how you feel, so perhaps it’s a crying shame that more of us, particularly men, don’t cry more often.
A. Then how do we cope with it?
B. This can be where emotions run high.
C. People reach their breaking point in different ways.
D. We all have the power to cry, but is that a good thing?
E. Maybe it dissolves or clears the negative feelings you’ve had.
F. What brings about this reaction differs from person to person.
G. But does this mean men don’t get as upset or emotional as women?
【答案】36. D 37. F 38. G 39. B 40. E
【解析】
【分析】本文是一篇说明文,文章介绍了哭是人们伤心时的正常反应,并且哭对于人们而言是有好处的。
【36题详解】
上文提到“Being moved by a sad movie, waving a loved one off, or getting emotional after splitting up with your partner can all cause tears to roll down our face”(被电影感动,和爱人分离,与搭档分道扬镳都会导致眼泪流下脸庞),本空承上启下,引出文章主题,所以根据下文内容,“crying in the office or elsewhere can be an effective stress reliever. ”(在办公室或其他地方哭可能是一种有效的减压方式),可知本文主要讲哭是所有人的反应,并且哭对人们有好处,所以本空目的在于引出此话题。故选D。
【37题详解】
根据上句“ it seems to be an automatic reaction when we get sad or upset”(哭是我们伤心难过时的自动反应),所以本空承接上句,F项句意“造成人们伤心难过的原因是各不相同的”,符合语境。故选F。
【38题详解】
根据上句“women admitted they cry 72 times a year. This was, on average, more than men. Adam Rutherford, lead researcher, says that the result has been pretty much consistent with previous research.”(女性承认,她们一年哭72次,这平均来说比男人要多。调查者说这个结果和以前的研究结果是一致的),本空承上启下,下句“Are they just more embarrassed about showing their true feelings?”(他们对于表达自己真实的情感会更尴尬吗),所以本空应该是讲男人哭的次数少的原因。故选G。
【39题详解】
上句提到“One place where we experience emotional and tearful outbursts is in the workplace”(我们经历情绪爆发的地点之一是在工作地),本空承接上文,应该接着讲工作地对人们情绪的影响,所以B项句意“工作地是情绪上涨之地”符合句意。故B项符合语境。故选B。
【40题详解】
根据上句“ It can actually make you feel better.”(哭会让你感觉更好),本空承上启下,应该接着讲哭对于人们的好处,所以E项句意“哭能融化或清除你的消极情感”符合句意。故选E。

【64题详解】
考查介词。句意:多年来,作家们试图用不同的方式来传达诗歌的精神。in different ways意为:用不同的方式。故填in。
【65题详解】
考查被动语态。句意:虽然在翻译过程中损失了很多,但核心意思是可以捕捉和欣赏的。主语the core meaning和动词catch之间是被动关系,需要用被动语态,在情态动词can后用动词原形即可。故填be caught。

67. 阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
Sometimes things may seem beyond our efforts, but keep on and you will find beautiful views in front of you.
I was on my second outdoor experience trip that every student had to go on. That year, we had a choice of what difficulty level we wanted: one through five. My friends and I had agreed that one would make us seem lazy and that challenging ourselves would make for a good story. In choosing level two, we believed that it would still be a fun experience.
We were quickly proven wrong.
The further we drove into the White Mountains, the higher the walls on either side of the winding highway grew. I was still in awe of the mountains I had seen so many times before, but I couldn’t help feeling my heart shaking with anxiety. Soon I would have to leave the school bus that brought 50 students out into the wilderness like every year before.
My group consisted of my friends Riley and Ann, and six extremely athletic boys. We arrived at base camp lodge (木屋) first. After putting things aside and rearranging our bags, we made our way out into the wilderness.
The three of us girls were questioning if this was really a level two. The path was unbelievably steep (陡峭) and rocky toward the top of the mountain where the first hut was located. We were practically jogging in an attempt to keep up with the boys ahead of us. Before the trip, we were told to take breaks as often as we needed to drink water, but that wasn’t helping our pounding hearts and heavy breathing as much as it should have.
Then, 30 minutes into the most difficult hike the three of us had ever done, Riley slipped and landed on her knee. After a few moments, we turned back down the mountain as it was decided that Riley could not make the trip with us. We sat on the grass outside the lodge where we had started while Riley was brought inside to join the level one group. Ann and I exchanged breathless glances, our cheeks red and wet with sweat.
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。
“Do you think we should ask if we could join the level one group too?” I asked Ann.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
The next days, although extremely tired, we kept on.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】Paragraph 1:
“Do you think we should ask if we could join the level one group too?” I asked Ann. “I know you won’t,” she breathed out. “I won’t!” I said to myself, looking at the awesome mountains in the distance. Then we started up the steep and rocky path again, attempting to keep up with the boys. Our bags felt heavier; legs burned; backs hurt; tears threatened to spill over our sweat-covered eyes. I wanted nothing more than to turn back and leave right then and there. But, I couldn’t; I didn’t want to be someone who gave up easily.
Paragraph 2:
The next days, although extremely tired, we kept on. Ann and I still found ourselves lagging behind the boys. Instead of embarrassment, I felt as though I was gaining more out of the trip than anyone else. As the boys ran, Ann and I hung back and took breaks, drinking water and admiring the deep green valleys from high above. Level two was fun, too. And eventually we made it to the destination. Facing the beautiful views in front of us, I exchanged a glance with Ann, both of us beaming.

Try one of these amazing destinations on your next vacation.
Mallorca
On the popular Spanish island of Mallorca, farmhouse inns focus more on providing isolation and quietness than offering hands-on farming experiences. With millions of visitors staying on the beaches of Mallorca and the other Balearic Islands each summer, a little bit of isolation is a good thing for aloneness-seeking travelers. Mainly located in the hills of inland Mallorca, these inns range from rustic century-old farmhouses to luxury(奢侈的) villas with spas and swimming pools.
Hawaii
People who don't want to dig out their passport but still want their farm adventure can head to the island of Hawaii. The 50th state talks much about the well-developed farm tourism industry that can hold people with different interests. Agritourism choices range from visiting coffee plantations(种植园) in the Big Island's Kona region to exploring the plantations on Maui to staying on farms on the easily reachable island of Oahu.
California
California is one of the best places in the U. S. to enjoy a farm-stay, thanks to the diversity of crops and farms. Small family farms and large farms offer a more hands-on approach to agritourism. Many of them teach small-scale farming techniques and even offer strategies for organic growing. The University of California system, one of the largest state-run higher education systems in the U.S., has a small-farm program that helps growers create agritourism businesses.
Philippine Islands
With diverse conditions on different islands, the Philippine Islands are ideal places for visiting multiple agritourism sites or focusing on one product. Tourists can visit a huge pineapple plantation for a taste of large-scale agriculture, or they could focus on smaller operations such as bee farms, and even small plantations that specialize in growing tropical produce such as dragon fruit.
21. What kind of people will choose to go to Mallorca?
A. Those who prefer peace of mind.
B. Those who like lying on the beach.
C. Those who enjoy the luxury of tourism.
D. Those who want to experience farming.
22 What can people do on the Philippine Islands?
A. Live in farmhouses.
B. Visit plantations.
C. Learn farming techniques.
D. Take part in a farm program.
23. What are the four places in the text famous for?
A. Locations.
B. Environments.
C. Local products.
D. Tourism features.

During lunch, while other teachers shared life stories, Jean never complained about her new responsibilities. She did, however, speak about her car.

When did you last write a letter? Properly write on—by hand? In a digital world, where sending a text or email is far more convenient than using snail mail, is the writing on the wall for traditional pen and paper? Well, some people claim that writing still has many benefits, so maybe it's not time to ditch your ballpoint(圆珠笔)or fountain pen(钢笔)yet.
These days, when people request things in writing, a typed, electronic document will be accepted. Doing this on a computer means it could be saved, edited, copied and sent via email. But crafting a handwriting document is unique: It requires planning and thought, and, as well as practising your handwriting, it helps you to remember spelling and punctuation.
Some experts believe your brain benefits from using old-fashioned pen and paper. This is particularly relevant for students,where typing notes into a laptop is thought to lack the "tactile feedback"(触觉反馈)to the brain that contact between pen and paper docs. BBC Worklife website quotes Hetty Roessingh from the University of Calgary,who says that "taking notes by hand involves cognitive(认知的)engagement in summarizing, adapting, organizing. concept and vocabulary mapping. Others agree that handwriting may boost fine motor skills in your hands and fingers.
There are everyday benefits to using pen and paper too. Scribbling(涂狗)notes,shopping lists or messages on the back of an envelope can still be useful, quick and portable. But putting pen to paper in a letter to a friend or loved one can probably have the most impact. Pen pal writer Katherine Moller told the BBC: "In a world where it is so easy to hop online to email or to send a fast text, it is so personal and so precious to know someone chose to turn off the virtual world to spend some time with you."
So, while digital skills remain important, don't write off your pens and pencils yet—especially if your smartphone, tablet or laptop runs out of power!
28. What does the underlined word "ditch"mean in the first paragraph?
A. Write. B. Abandon.
C. Save. D. Choose.
29. What does the writer want to emphasize in Paragraph 2?
A. The popularity of electronic documents.
B. The convenience of electronic documents.
C. The special features of handwritten documents.
D. The basic requirements of handwritten documents.
30. Which of the following is the benefit of writing by hand?
A It fully develops your hand muscles.
B. It helps you to practise your handwriting.
C. It strengthens the bond between pen and paper.
D. It sharpens your comprehensive cognitive abilities.
31. What can we infer from Katherine Moller's words?
A. It is necessary for us to turn off the virtual world.
B. Scribbling notes should be practised in our daily life.
C. Using paper and pen has the greatest impact on our daily life.
D. Writing a letter by hand can be a touching and valuable experience.
D
We’ve had waves of panic around technology for decades, whether it is comic books or video games. Now it happens to be social media. And the fact of the matter is that parents and teachers, who are trying to raise their kids in the face of these panics, are being poorly served by the government when it comes to getting meaningful advice.
It's not that social media is good or bad for people. It's that the science of social media and mental health is broken. We need to do research, but we shouldn’t be approaching it from the perspective that the world is ending. We need to be curious and open to the possibility of its effects, positive and negative.
The danger for policymakers or parents is that if you pretend that social media is a problem, without having evidence, and you take steps to regulate it, the intervention (妨碍)could end up being really bad for young people. You might be taking away a lifeline for vulnerable (脆弱的) kids or free them of their human right to play, which is morally reprehensible(受谴责的) at the best of times, let alone during a pandemic.
So that's why I'm not going to tell you that I know social media is bad. It's perfectly reasonable for parents and teachers to be concerned about social media, but it's unavoidable and young people are going to encounter it sooner or later. So what would you rather do: keep them in the dark and leave them ill-equipped to deal with it or let them learn about social media with your help and support? It's a little like learning to ride a bike. Bikes can be huge fun to ride, but you can also hurt yourself on them, which is why you don't just give your kid a bike and a helmet and wish them good luck. You help them learn to ride. Similarly, you're not asking your 14-year-old daughter to choose between telling you someone scary is messaging her or losing her phone. You need to treat it like anything else that can hurt you, but can also connect you.
32. What does this wave of panic refer to now according to the passage ?
A. Technology B. Comic books C. Video games D. Social media
33. What should we do to help our children?
A. Give them some instructions
B. Ask the experts for help
C. Go to the special treatment center
D Free them of their human right to play
34. What is the author’s attitude towards the social media?
A. Doubtful B. Supportive C. Neutral D. Indifferent
35. Which of the following statements does the author agree with ?
A. Parents should let children learn about social media on their own.
B. The world is ending as a result of the negative effects of social meaia.
C. Parents should be cautious when regulating children’s using social media.
D. Parents are advised not to give kids helmets when they learn to ride a bike.

What makes you cry? Being moved by a sad movie, waving a loved one off, or getting emotional after splitting up with your partner can all cause tears to roll down our faces. _______36_______
When you think about it, shedding tears from your eyes can cause embarrassment or confusion. But it seems to be an automatic reaction when we get sad or upset. _________37_________ However, the feeling is the same – your cheeks puff up, your eyes tighten and before you know it, tears are streaming down your face. Some of us may weep a little while others might cry like a baby.
A study in the UK in 2017 found that women admitted they cry 72 times a year. This was, on average, more than men. Adam Rutherford, lead researcher, says that the result has been pretty much consistent with previous research. ________38________Are they just more embarrassed about showing their true feelings? The debate continues.
One place where we experience emotional and tearful outbursts is in the workplace.___39___ Someone might be stressed with a heavy workload. And, as therapist Joanna Cross put it, “crying is often a build-up of frustration and undealt-with situations and it’s a bit of a final straw moment.” She describes how someone might start weeping when they’re just asked to make a cup of tea. Actually, their stress has accumulated to the breaking point.
But crying in the office or elsewhere can be an effective stress reliever. It can actually make you feel better.______40______Crying your eyes out shows others how you feel, so perhaps it’s a crying shame that more of us, particularly men, don’t cry more often.
A. Then how do we cope with it?
B. This can be where emotions run high.
C. People reach their breaking point in different ways.
D. We all have the power to cry, but is that a good thing?
E. Maybe it dissolves or clears the negative feelings you’ve had.
F. What brings about this reaction differs from person to person.
G. But does this mean men don’t get as upset or emotional as women?

Sometimes things may seem beyond our efforts, but keep on and you will find beautiful views in front of you.
I was on my second outdoor experience trip that every student had to go on. That year, we had a choice of what difficulty level we wanted: one through five. My friends and I had agreed that one would make us seem lazy and that challenging ourselves would make for a good story. In choosing level two, we believed that it would still be a fun experience.
We were quickly proven wrong.
The further we drove into the White Mountains, the higher the walls on either side of the winding highway grew. I was still in awe of the mountains I had seen so many times before, but I couldn’t help feeling my heart shaking with anxiety. Soon I would have to leave the school bus that brought 50 students out into the wilderness like every year before.
My group consisted of my friends, Riley and Ann, and six extremely athletic boys. We arrived at base camp lodge (木屋) first. After putting things aside and rearranging our bags, we made our way out into the wilderness.
The three of us girls were questioning if this was really a level two. The path was unbelievably steep (陡峭) and rocky toward the top of the mountain where the first hut was located. We were practically jogging in an attempt to keep up with the boys ahead of us. Before the trip, we were told to take breaks as often as we needed to drink water, but that wasn’t helping our pounding hearts and heavy breathing as much as it should have.
Then, 30 minutes into the most difficult hike the three of us had ever done, Riley slipped and landed on her knee. After a few moments, we turned back down the mountain as it was decided that Riley could not make the trip with us. We sat on the grass outside the lodge where we had started while Riley was brought inside to join the level one group. Ann and I exchanged breathless glances, our cheeks red and wet with sweat.
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。
“Do you think we should ask if we could join the level one group too?” I asked Ann.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
The next days, although extremely tired, we kept on.
