等。文章一般可按照“总一分一总”的结构来写作。
◆[审题谋篇]

Ⅱ.阅读理解
Gaming addiction is to be listed as a mental
health problem for the first time by the World
Health Organisation(WHO).It describes it as a pat-
tern of lasting gaming behaviour so severe that it
takes“precedence(优先)over other life interests'”.
Dr Richard Graham,a lead technology addiction
specialist at the Nightingale Hospital in London,
welcomed the decision to recognise the condition."It
is important because it creates the opportunity for
世五维课堂
more specialised services.It puts it on the map as
something to take seriously."But he added that he
would have pity for those who do not think the con-
dition should be medicalised."It could lead to con-
fused parents whose children are just enthusiastic
gamers."He said.He sees about 50 new cases of dig-
ital addiction each year and his criteria (is
based on whether the activity is affecting basic
things such as sleep,eating,socialising and educa-
tion.
Lots of countries are grappling with the prob-
lem and in South Korea the government has intro-
duced a law banning children under 16 from playing
online games between midnight and 6:00.In Japan,
players are warned if they spend more than a certain
amount of time each month playing games and in
China,Internet giant Tencent has limited the hours
when children can play its most popular games.
Researcher Killian Mullan said,"People think
that children are addicted to technology and in front
of these screens 24/7,not interested in other activi-
ties-and we now know that is not the case.Our
finding shows that technology is being used in some
cases perhaps to support other activities,like home-
work for example,and not pushing them out,"he
added."Just like we adults do,children spread their
digital tech use throughout the day,while doing oth-
er things..”
[语篇解读]许多孩子沉溺于网络游戏,这是一个非
常严重的问题,世界卫生组织也越来越重视这个问
题了。
1.What is the influence of the WHO's decision on
gaming addiction?
A.Some gaming addiction shouldn't be treated.
B.The decision brings good results to patients.
C.More people will pay attention to gaming addic-
tion.
D.Many parents are confused about gaming addic-
tion.
解析:C[细节理解题。根据第二段中的“it cre-
ates the opportunity for more specialised services.
It puts it on the map as something to take serious-
1y”可知,越来越多的人将会重视沉溺游戏这一
现象。]
2.How can we tell gaming addiction according to
Richard Graham?
A.By hearing what children's parents said.
B.By seeing more new cases of digital addiction.
C.By observing what children said and did care-
fully.
D.By seeing whether addiction influences daily ac-
tivities.
·6
英语(WY)·必修第三册
解析:D[细节理解题。根据第二段中的“his cri-
teria(is based on whether the activity is af-
fecting basic things such as sleep,eating,socialis-
ing and education”可知,判断的标准是看游戏是否
影响到了睡觉、吃饭、社交、教育等基本的日常
活动。]
3.What does the underlined phrase "grappling with"
in Paragraph 3 mean?
A.Talking about.
B.Dealing with.
C.Putting off.
D.Picking out.
解析:B[短语猜测题。后面提到中国、韩国、日本
等采取一些措施来限制游戏者的时间,因此这里指
“许多国家设法解决这个问题。”门
4.Which of the following is the finding of Killian
Mullan?
A.Gaming addicted children don't like other activ-
ities.
B.New technology always supports many activi-
ties.
C.Children do homework while using digital tech-
nology.
D.Children and adults act differently in gaming
addiction.
解析:C[推理判断题。在文章最后一段中的Kl
lian Mullan说到沉溺于游戏的孩子并不排斥其他
活动,像成人一样,他们玩游戏的同时也会做其他
的事情。]
Ⅲ.阅读七选五
Like any good machine,the brain needs a little
care and attention as it ages to ensure it continues to
run in good working order.1
Don't lose faith in your abilities
As people get older,it's easy to think that your
memory is already fading.2.So if you do
find yourself wandering in a doorway not really
knowing where you are meant to be,just see it as a
reminder to push your memory a little bit harder.
Learn a language or a musical instrument
3 such as learning the piano or picking
up a new language.Both rely on a wide skill set,ex-
ercising your memory,attention and so on.
4
Obesity can harm your brain in many ways.The
good news is that certain nutrients seem to reduces
age-related damage to the brain.This may explain
why older people eating a typically Mediterranean
diet tend to show the same cognitive(认知的)skills
as people 7.5 years younger.
Unit 2 Making a difference
Build your body
5.Physical activity not only forms a
better blood flow to the brain,but also increases pro-
teins such as "nerve growth factor".So just choose
training that suits your fitness.
A.Have a regular diet
B.Don't feast on junk food
C.Here are some effective ways to sharpen
your brain
D.Therefore we tend to lose confidence in our men-
tal abilities
E.Getting in shape is one of the surest ways to build
your mind
F.Actually it is just as likely to happen to the young
as to the old
G.You should consider a more ambitious(有雄心的)
mental workout
[语篇解读]随着年龄的增长,很多人对自己的脑力
变得不自信,那么如何关爱我们的大脑、锻炼自己的
脑力变得至关重要。本文介绍了四种方法。
1.C[C项起到承上启下的作用。前文引入话
题—一大脑需要锻炼,下文介绍了四种方法,故
选C。]
2.F[空前讲到人们往往以为上了年纪记忆力就减
退了,但实际情况是,不管年轻、年老,记忆力都有
可能减退,与前文形成对比,故选F。]
3.G[选项G中的“a more ambitious(有雄心的)
mental workout”与空后的“such as learning the
piano or picking up a new language”相照应,且与
本段小标题的内容相照应。故选G。]
4.B[本段主要讲饮食对脑力的影响,故B项最适
合作本段的小标题。Don't feast on junk food意为
“不要吃垃圾食品”。]
5.E[本段主要闸述的是通过健身的方式来增强脑
力,再根据本段的小标题Build your body和空后
的“Physical activity”可知选E项。]

Could pursuing meaning be the path to true
happiness?There are some differences between a
happy life and a meaningful life and the two are
closely related.When we aim for a life of meaningful
pursuit,we are likely to feel more lasting happiness
and life satisfaction-even if there is some sadness,
or stress along the way.People find meaning in life

When we are understood and recognized by
friends,family members,partners,colleagues,and e-
ven strangers,we feel we belong to a community.
Results from some studies indicate that many people
count their relationships as the most meaningful part
of their lives,even when those relationships are diffi-
cult.
When we have long-term goals in life that re-
flect our values and serve the greater good,we tend
to give our activities more meanings.Researcher Ad-
am Grant has found that professions focused on help-
ing others-teachers,surgeons,and therapists-all tend
to be rated as more meaningful.Having purposed has
also been tied to many positive outcomes,including
more dedication to the jobs,increased learning and
better health.
When it comes to finding meaning,storytelling
helps to try to pull particularly relevant experiences
in our lives into a story that defines our identity.
People who describe their lives as meaningful tend to
have stories where they overcame something nega-
tive,and to stress growth and help from others.Lau-
ra Kray and colleagues found that people's consider-
ing paths not taken in life and the consequences of
those choices filled experiences with more meaning.
Based on these factors,some practices could en-
courage meaning in your own life.For example,you
may involve yourself in personal interactions and of-
fer help to others when they need it to increase your
sense of belonging.You may also want to redefine
the tasks of your job to fit your motives,strengths,
and enthusiasm.Or,if you feel stuck,you may want
to spend time creating a storyline.By developing our
relationships and serving others,we bring more
meaning to our lives.
