Ⅱ.阅读理解(共4小题;每小题2.5分,满分10分)
As you grow older,you’ll be faced with some challenging decisions—like whether to cut class or try cigarettes.Making decisions on your own is hard enough,but when other people get involved and try to pressure you one way or another,it can be even harder.People who are at your age,like your classmates,are called peers.When they try to influence how you act,or get you to do something,it’s called peer pressure.
Peers can have a positive influence on each other.Maybe another student in your science class taught you an easy way to remember the planets in the solar system(太阳系).Maybe you got others excited about your new favourite book,and now everyone’s reading it.These are examples of how peers positively influence each other.
Sometimes peers influence each other in negative ways.For example,a few kids in school might try to get you to cut class with them; your soccer friend might try to convince(说服) you to be mean(吝啬,小气) to another player and never pass him the ball.
It is tough to be the only one who says “no” to peer pressure,but you can do it.Paying attention to your own feelings and beliefs about what is right and wrong can help you know the right thing to do.
You’ve probably had a parent or teacher advising you to “choose your friends wisely”.Peer pressure is a big reason why they say this.If you choose friends who don’t cut class,smoke cigarettes,or lie to their parents,then you probably won’t do these things either,even if other kids do.
If you continue to face peer pressure and you’re finding it difficult to handle,talk to someone you trust.Don’t feel guilty(内疚) if you’ve made a mistake or two.

训练8 Lesson 3(B)
[分值:35分]
Ⅰ.阅读理解(共8小题;每小题2.5分,满分20分)
A
(2024·河北盐山中学期中)
Studies have shown most people fail to realise how much time they spend on their smartphones each day.
Frank and Amelia’s family were put to a test,using a free app called “Moment-Screen Time Tracker”.The Vascellaros—Frank,Amelia,14-year-old twins Frankie and Joe,and 17-year-old Sam—all said they did not really know they were spending so much time on their phones each day.
“Honestly,I don’t feel like I’m on my phone a lot,” Amelia Vascellaro said.Amelia was on her phone far less often than Frank,according to the app.While Amelia spent about an hour per day on the phone,Frank spent closer to four hours on his phone,which came as a shock to him.The children’s times varied but they often spent more than a couple of hours on the phone as well.
Minneapolis-based Dr Kirsten Lind Seal sees phone usage come up lot among families.Lind Seal said many family members’ phone use has become problematic.
“If we hear more than once,‘Do you have to be on your phone right now? Can you please put your phone down? Did you hear what I said?’ it may be a sign that it is negatively(消极地) influencing our family relationships and our daily lives,” she said.
Lind Seal said actually paying attention to how much time one spends on the phone is a good first step in deciding when to put it down.
She asks parents to encourage more face-to-face communication for teens and young adults as they continue developing their social and emotional skills.“What we find is that we are really losing out on empathy—the ability to understand other people’s feelings and problems—when we spend a lot of time on our smartphones to communicate with other people,” she said.
语篇解读 这是一篇新闻报道。文章主要介绍了大多数人没有意识到自己每天花多少时间在智能手机上,过度使用智能手机有可能给家庭日常生活带来消极影响。
1.How did the Vascellaros feel about the test results?
A.Satisfied. B.Doubtful.
C.Uninterested. D.Surprised.
答案 D
解析 细节理解题。根据第二段中的“all said they did not really know they were spending so much time on their phones each day”和第三段第三句中的shock可知,他们对这个结果感到惊讶。故选D。
2.Why did Lind Seal mention the three questions in paragraph 5?
A.To encourage people to live a simple life.
B.To ask people if they use phones too much.
C.To explain the signs of problematic phone use.
D.To show the importance of close relationships.
答案 C
解析 推理判断题。根据该三个问题后的“it may be a sign that it is negatively(消极地) influencing our family relationships and our daily lives”可知,这三个问题可能是一种信号,是过度使用手机对我们的家庭关系和日常生活产生负面影响的迹象。由此可知,提及这三个问题是为了解释手机使用不当的迹象。故选C。
3.How did Lind Seal probably look at the app?
A.She worried about it.
B.She was in favor of it.
C.She felt it was a waste of time.
D.She thought it needed improvements.
答案 B
解析 推理判断题。根据倒数第二段可知,在她看来,关注一下自己花在手机上的时间是决定什么时候放下手机的第一步,由此推知,对于这款程序,她是支持的。故选B。
4.What is the text mainly about?
A.Too much use of smartphones.
B.The influence of apps on teens.
C.Children’s safety on the Internet.
D.Problems among family members.
答案 A

B
One in five women and one in eight men are becoming more tired and less productive,according to a new Australian study on mobile phone use.
Led by the Queensland University of Technology in Australia,researchers surveyed 709 mobile phone users across the country aged 18 to 83 and asked them a series of questions based on a similar study 13 years ago.Identifying a phenomenon “technoference(科技干扰)”,researchers discovered a significant increase in people blaming their devices for losing sleep,becoming less productive and even getting more aches and pains.
According to the study’s lead author Dr Oscar,the issue is so bad that 24 percent of women and 15 percent of men are now considered to be “problematic mobile phone users”.“When we talk about technoference,we’re referring to the everyday intrusions(侵入)and interruptions that people experience due to mobile phones and their usage,” he said.“Our survey found technoference had increased among men and women.For example,self-reports relating to the loss of sleep and productivity showed that these negative outcomes had significantly increased during the last 13 years.This finding suggests that mobile phones are potentially increasingly affecting aspects of daytime functioning due to lack of sleep.”
Compared to a 2005 study,“technoference” issues for 18-to 24-year-old experienced a surprising 40.9 percent rise,while those aged 25 to 29 also recorded a dramatic increase of 23.5 percent.
Oscar said that with the number of smartphone users around the world expected to surpass 2.5 billion before the end of this year,the problem of “technoference” could get even worse.“The speed and depth of smartphone take-up makes our population particularly vulnerable to some of the negative consequences of high mobile phone use,” he said.“Rapid technological innovations have led to dramatic changes in today’s mobile phone technology,which can improve the quality of life for phone users but also result in some negative outcomes.”
语篇解读 这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了越来越多的人因为使用智能手机而变得容易劳累、睡眠不足和工作效率低,这种现象被叫作“科技干扰”。
5.How are people affected by technoference according to the text?
A.It makes people addicted to communicating online.
B.It pushes people to work at a fast pace.
C.It causes people to sleep less at night.
D.It brings negative outcomes to people of all ages.

A.Young women. B.Young men.
C.Children. D.Seniors.
答案 A
解析 细节理解题。根据第三段第一句和第四段可知,年轻女性最容易受到科技干扰的影响。A项符合以上说法,故选A。
7.What does the underlined word “vulnerable” in paragraph 5 probably mean?
A.Widely spread.
B.Easily hurt.
C.Deeply devoted.
D.Absolutely accustomed.
答案 B
解析 词义猜测题。根据上文可知,随着全球智能手机用户数量增长,“科技干扰”问题可能更严重,再根据下文可知,快速的技术创新导致了今天的移动电话技术的巨大变化;它可以提高手机用户的生活质量,但也带来了一些负面后果。由此推断出,智能手机普及的速度和深度使人们更容易受到频繁使用手机带来的一些负面影响。即画线词的意思是“极易受伤害”。故选B。
8.What does the text mainly talk about?
A.The increasing side effects of smartphones.
B.Ways to solve technoference problem.
C.Smartphones and people’s happiness.
D.The popularity of smartphones.
答案 A
解析 主旨大意题。根据文章的主要内容,尤其是第二段最后一句可知,本文主要介绍了越来越多的人因为使用智能手机而变得容易劳累、睡眠不足和工作效率低,这种现象被叫作“科技干扰”。A项“智能手机越来越多的副作用”符合以上说法,故选A。
