A few of my friends and some of my classmates had excitedly jump onto platforms like Instagram at such a young age. On the other hand, I hesitated. I only knew the basics, but was foreign to some words on social media. All throughout middle school, I stuck with the same thinking. And now as a freshman in college, I am looking back and wondering why I have never been naturally interested in social media. Scanning Instagram, you ought to find dozens of pictures of people in beautiful countries, taking part in exciting activities, and spending time with friends and family, among many other things. The thought of doing this never resonated with me. I respect and understand those who believe using social media allows them to express themselves and share aspects of their lives others. However, I have never had any interest in doing the same. In my eves, family gatherings and friend get-togethers are just as, if not more meaningful when not shared with others. Most people have experienced feeling insecure and unconfident on social media. Images that are changed represent unrealistic beauty standards that can only be obtained through dangerous ways. Even without using social media, I knew that using apps like Instagram and Facebook would make me embarrassed of all the aspects that make me a unique individual. I never wanted to look at a post on social media and immediately compare myself and my life. I constantly observe my classmates getting easily distracted (使分心) by social media. While trying to complete their homework, they have a powerful urge to open up Instagram or Facebook to see if there are any new messages. With homework and after-class activities consuming the majority of my day, I cannot wait to finish every task on my to-do list, so I can finally spend time with my family or have some time for myself to relax from my busy day. 1. What can we know from the first two paragraphs? A. Social media are popular with students. B. Young pupils suffer from social media C. The author has no access to social media. D. Social media contribute to students’ study. 2. The underlined part in paragraph 3 is closest in meaning to “________”. A. waned off B. let down C. hid from D. appealed to 3. Why do people using social media might feel insecure? A. They follow other people’s beauty standards totally. B. Social media change the way they look at themselves. C. Social media encourage them to be a unique individual D. They spend more time posting their images on social media. 4. What can be inferred from the last paragraph? A. A to-do list can stop people using social media. B. Social media can waste pepole’s valuable time. C. Spending time with family always enjoys first priority. D. Students pay more attention to social media than to study. 【答案】8. A 9. D 10. B 11. B 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇议论文。文章主要从作者对自己不喜欢社交媒体的这一心理的反思入手，针对社交媒体对当下人们的影响进行思考和论述。 【8题详解】 推理判断题。文章前两段讲述了作者身边的人及作者本人对社交媒体平台的态度，结合第一段前两句“The first time I heard about my classmates engaging with social media was in the fourth grade. A few of my friends and some of my classmates had excitedly jump onto platforms like Instagram at such a young age.(我第一次听说我的同学参与社交媒体是在四年级。我的一些朋友和同学在这么小的时候就兴奋地参与到Instagram这样的平台)”可知，在四年级的时候，作者的朋友和同学就纷纷参与到社交媒体平台，由此可推知，社交媒体很受学生欢迎。故选A。 【9题详解】 词句猜测题。根据划线部分所在句的后两句“I respect and understand those who believe using social media allows them to express themselves and share aspects of their lives others. However, I have never had any interest in doing the same.(我尊重并理解那些相信使用社交媒体可以表达自己并与他人分享生活的人。但我从来没有兴趣这样做)”可知，作者对社交媒体不感兴趣，在社交媒体上发布动态，分享生活对作者来说没有吸引性，由此可推知，划线部分“resonated with”与“appealed to”同义，表示“有吸引的”。故选D。 【10题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段“Most people have experienced feeling insecure and unconfident on social media. Images that are changed represent unrealistic beauty standards that can only be obtained through dangerous ways. Even without using social media, I knew that using apps like Instagram and Facebook would make me embarrassed of all the aspects that make me a unique individual. I never wanted to look at a post on social media and immediately compare myself and my life.(大多数人在社交媒体上都有过不安全感和缺乏自信的经历。被改变的图像代表着不切实际的美丽标准，只有通过危险的方式才能获得。即使不使用社交媒体，我也知道使用Instagram和Facebook等应用程序会让我在所有方面都感到尴尬，这些方面让我成为一个独一无二的人。我从来都不想在看到社交媒体上的帖子后，立即将自己和自己的生活进行比较)”可知，社交媒体平台上的图片等内容可能是经过编辑的，一些美丽标准是不容易实现的。且这些社交媒体容易让人产生对比心理，阅读者往往将博主的生活和自己的生活进行对比，使自己对自己的看法产生变化，而作者不同于他人，他是不想这样去对比的。由此可推知，使用社交媒体的人之所以会感到不安全是因为社交媒体使人们之间产生对比，改变了人们看待自己的方式。故选B。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段前两句“I constantly observe my classmates getting easily distracted (使分心) by social media. While trying to complete their homework, they have a powerful urge to open up Instagram or Facebook to see if there are any new messages.(我经常观察到我的同学很容易被社交媒体分心。在努力完成家庭作业的同时，他们有一种强烈的冲动，想打开Instagram或Facebook，看看是否有新消息)”可知，社交媒体会影响完成作业的进度，使得人们浪费宝贵的时间去关注社交动态。故选B。 B At this very moment around the world, athletes are stepping almost naked into freezing cold rooms. Why on Earth are they doing this? Because it’s supposed to help them feel better. The treatment is called whole-body cryotherapy. Basketball star LeBron James, soccer great Cristiano Ronaldo, and boxing champion Floyd Mayweather Jr. have all tried it. The therapy works like this. You take off everything but your underwear. Then you put on warm socks and gloves and step into a small room that looks sort of like a shower, except your head sticking 16% out the top. Once you’re locked in, air cooled to below -200°F(-129°C) fills the room. That’s way colder than Antarctica. You stay in for two to three minutes. Advocates believe the extremely cold air helps muscles recover faster and reduces other body pain. After his first cryotherapy sessions, Phil Mackenzie, a professional rugby player, felt noticeably better. He told Scientific American, ‘I felt refreshed right away. My sleep was better’. Soon, he was using it four times a week. Those who promote cryotherapy make all sorts of wild claims about its benefits. Supposedly, that extremely cold air can increase focus, improve skin tone, make you happier, burn calories, slow aging, and much more. Is there any evidence to back up these incredible claims? Nope. Several small scientific studies have looked at whether the therapy can improve muscle recovery after exercise, with encouraging results. But there just isn’t enough evidence to show that the therapy works. The benefits some people experience may just be the placebo effect. That’s when a patient’s expectation that a treatment will work leads to an improvement. The US Food & Drug Administration has actually issued a warning about whole-body cryotherapy. It cautions that the liquid nitrogen used to cool the room may make it difficult to breathe. Frost bite is another potential risk, which is why participants wear gloves and socks. What do you think? Is it a chance for a better athletic performance worth the risk? 1. What can we learn about the therapy according to the first two paragraphs? A. The whole-body cryotherapy can help athletes recover. B. The therapy has won popularity with only great athletes. C. People need to wear gloves and socks after cold air fills the room. D. People need to stay in a freezing small room with almost nothing on. 2. Why does the author mention Phil Mackenzie in Paragraph 3? A. To explain a rule. B. To support an idea. C. To present a fact. D. To make a prediction. 3. Why do people feel better after receiving the therapy? A. Many celebrities have received the therapy. B. Extremely cold air is beneficial to people’s health. C. The therapy may have psychological benefit to them. D. Scientific studies have proved the effect of the therapy. 4. Which of the following best describes the authorities’ attitude to the therapy? A. Favorable. B. Cautious. C. Tolerant. D. Indifferent. 【答案】12. D 13. B 14. C 15. B 【解析】 【分析】本文是一篇说明文。本文介绍了全身冷冻疗法的过程、效果以及它所存在的潜在风险。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“You take off everything but your underwear.

It cautions that the liquid nitrogen used to cool the room may make it difficult to breathe. Frost bite is another potential risk, which is why participants wear gloves and socks. What do you think? Is it a chance for a better athletic performance worth the risk?”（美国食品和药物管理局实际上已经发布了关于全身冷冻疗法的警告。它警告说，用来冷却房间的液氮可能会使人呼吸困难。冻伤是另一个潜在风险，这就是为什么参与者戴手套和袜子。你怎么认为？这是一个值得冒险的更好的运动表现的机会吗？）说明作者当局对治疗的态度是谨慎的。A. Favorable有利的；B. Cautious谨慎的；C. Tolerant容忍的； D. Indifferent漠不关心的。故选B项。 二、写作 (满分15分) 鉴于近些年有些人提出要将英语踢出高考，“Youth”杂志现面向全国高中生征文，旨在了解年轻人对此的观点。请你给“Youth”投稿，阐明你的观点，并说明理由（至少两点）。 注意：1. 写作词数应80左右； 2. 请按如下格式作答。 Should English stay or go?
