Ⅰ.阅读理解
A
Thirteenyearold Kaylee has a lot of friends-532, actually, if you count up her online friends. And she spends a lot of time with them.
But is it possible that Kaylee's online friendships could be making her lonely? That's what some experts believe. Connecting online is a great way to stay in touch, they say. However, some experts worry that many kids are so busy connecting online that they might be missing out on true friendships.
Could this be true? During your parents' childhoods, connecting with friends usually meant spending time with them in the flesh. Kids played Scrabble around a table, not Words With Friends on their phones. When friends missed each other, they picked up the telephone. Friends might even write letters to each other.
Nowadays, most communication takes place online. A typical teen sends 2,000 texts a month and spends more than 44 hours per week in front of a screen. Much of this time is spent on social media platforms.
In fact, in many ways, online communication can make friendships stronger. “There's definitely a positive impact. Kids can stay in constant contact, which means they can share more of their feelings with each other,”says Katie Davis, a coauthor of The App Generation.
Other experts, however, warn that too much online communication can get in the way of forming deep friendships. “If we are constantly checking in with our virtual worlds, we will have little time for our realworld friendships,” says Larry Rosen, a professor at California State University. Rosen also worries that today's kids might mistake the “friends” on the social media for true friends in life. However, in tough times, you don't need someone to like your pictures or share your blogs. You need someone who will keep your secrets and hold your hand. You would like to talk face to face.

A.To summarize the text.
B.To bring up a discussion.
C.To tell about true friends.
D.To encourage online friendships.
解析:B [推理判断题。根据第一段可知13岁的Kaylee有很多网上的朋友,而且她花了很多时间和他们在一起。第二段中的“But is it possible...could be making her lonely?”提出了一个问题,由此可推知,第一段阐述了一种现象,目的是提出一个讨论的话题,从而引出下文关于这一话题的观点。故选B。]
2.What does the underlined part “in the flesh” mean in Paragraph 3?
A.In person. B.In advance.
C.In silence. D.In a word.
解析:A [词义猜测题。根据上文“connecting with friends usually meant spending time with them”及后文“Kids played Scrabble around a table,not Words With Friends on their phones.”可知,与朋友相处通常意味着亲自花时间与他们在一起,孩子们围着桌子玩拼字游戏,而不是在手机上玩Words With Friends。由此推知,in the flesh意为“亲自”。in person 亲自;in advance提前;in silence沉默地;in a word总之。故选A。]
3.What is Katie's attitude towards online communication?
A.Worried. B.Positive.
C.Confused. D.Unconcerned.
解析:B [推理判断题。根据第五段中的“‘There's definitely a positive impact.Kids can stay in constant contact,which means they can share more of their feelings with each other,’says Katie Davis”可知,Katie认为网络交流有积极的方面,孩子们可以经常联系,这意味着他们可以彼此分享更多的感受,由此可推知,Katie对网络交流持乐观态度。故选B。]
4.What view does Rosen hold?
A.It's wise to turn to friends online.
B.It's easier to develop friendships in reality.
C.Social media help people stay closely connected.
D.Teenagers need focus on realworld friendships.
解析:D [推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“‘If we are constantly checking in with our virtual worlds, we will have little time for our realworld friendships,’says Larry Rosen”可知Rosen认为我们不断地沉浸于虚拟世界,我们就没有多少时间来维护现实世界中的友谊了,由此可推知,Rosen认为青少年需要关注现实世界的友谊。故选D。]
B
Facebook was running my life. But what killed Facebook for me was when I posted a photo, and five minutes later my son asked me how many “likes” it had got. His question was a wakeup call.
“Likes” are signs of acceptance and approval(赞同). I had forgotten that acceptance and approval needed to come from hearts and I had unknowingly set a bad example to him.
Before I was absorbed in Facebook, I spent a lot more time reading books and magazines. I checked in with friends through texts, emails and phone calls.
To set a healthier example to my son, I deactivated my Facebook account.
I'd been in the habit of checking Facebook many times a day, so I had to come up with some new habits. I carried a novel and a crossword puzzle book around with me. I rediscovered knitting. I started taking yoga classes.
I started to remember a few things. My body is fine just the way it is. I have friends who will help me out when I'm in trouble, and I will help them out. I do my best to be a good mother, and our son is happy and healthy. We are very lucky to be able to afford two vacations a year.
I stopped looking at the world through my smartphone. I felt completely present in the moment. The break left me feeling better about myself, my family, my home and my life.
After a few weeks, I returned to Facebook. Now I look at the photos of my friends' kids' growing up and treasure how social media allows me to keep in touch with my family. I no longer have the desire to post updates often. It is not an addiction any more.

6.The underlined word“deactivated” in Paragraph 4 probably means“ ”.
