He began his climb to achieve his dream after years of preparation. But he went up alone. He started climbing and it was becoming later and later. He did not prepare for camping, so he had to keep on climbing. Soon night fell and Johnson could not see anything. Everything was black. There was no moon, and the stars were covered by clouds. As he was climbing only about 10 feet away from the top, he fell. He could only see darkness passing at a great speed. He kept falling...He thought certainly he would die. But then Johnson felt the long rope tied (系住) to his hand pull very hard. His body was hanging in the air. He had no other choice but to shout, “Help me! Help me!” Suddenly he heard a deep voice, “What do you want me to do?” “Save me!” “Do you really think that I can save you?” “Of course.” “Then cut the rope that is holding you up.” However, Johnson just held tighter (更紧地) to the rope. A few days later, the dead climber was found hanging from a rope ... TWO FEET OFF THE GROUND! How much do you believe in some “ropes”? Sometimes you have to be brave to cut the rope and let go.

And in recent years, scientists and doctors have often regarded social media as one possible cause. But how big a role social media plays seems to depend on how teens choose to use it. In recent years, social media has done some great things. It has brought people closer together. It has helped people form big communities that can reach around the world. And it can be an important place for people to find support and connection. But some teenagers can come across harmful content (内容) and even suffer from cyberbullying (网络暴力). For instance, one 2022 survey found that nearly half of all teens in the survey were cyberbullied online. Social media is also a space where people often compare themselves to others. Am I pretty enough? Strong enough? Smart enough? Cool enough? One study of teens 13 to 17 years old found that almost half reported that time spent on social media made them feel worse about their bodies. Only about one in every seven said viewing social media made them feel better. To make sure social media plays a positive role, there is a lot we can do to take control. In May 2023, the U.S. Surgeon General shared some advice on teens’ social media use. It offers tips people can take to help ensure teenagers and their families have the necessary information and tools to make social media safer for children. First of all, technology companies can better survey the influence of their products on teens, share data with researchers to increase our overall understanding of the influences, and make development decisions that put safety and health in the first place—including protecting teens’ privacy and better following the age limits. Besides, parents can make plans in their families such as building tech-free zones that better develop in-person relationships, teaching teenagers about responsible online behavior and modeling that behavior, and reporting problematic content and activities. Also, teenagers can follow healthy practices like limiting time on platforms, blocking unwanted content, being careful about sharing personal information, and reaching out if they or friends need help or see abuse (辱骂) on the platforms. Janis Whitlock, a psychologist who has been studying Internet use by teenagers since the early 2000s, says that social media use needs to be intentional. By that, she means it should be used for some purposeful goals, not just to pass the time or as a distraction (分散注意). She asks the teens she works with to put together a “menu of practices” that encourages good mental health. It should include little things they enjoy. Whitlock suggests that if kids feel anxious, they should go back to that menu again and do something from their list-instead of looking for distractions on their phone and social media. 69．Why does the writer mention the study in Paragraph 3? A．To show the problem of social media among teens. B．To compare different ways of viewing social media. C．To introduce the ways to make social media more positive. D．To tell the reasons why teens are cyberbullied on social media. 70．Which of the following situations makes sure the social media plays a positive role? A．Bill often turns to Douyin for short videos as a way to pass his free time. B．Tom shows others’ real names online to help his friend who is being cyberbullied. C．WeChat regularly shares teenagers’ personal information with technology companies. D．Amy’s parents teach her to have polite and respectful online conversations with others. 71．What can we learn about social media from the passage? A．Using social media as a distraction is better than using it for other goals. B．People can find support and connections through the help of social media. C．Over half of the kids feel better about their bodies when using social media. D．Social media is the main cause of depression, anxiety and other mental illnesses. 72．What can be the best title of the passage? A．Online safety: Why does social media matter? B．In-person relationships: How can social media help? C．Social media: How can we use it to improve teens’ mental health? D．Teens’ mental problems: Why do they influence the use of social media? 【答案】69．A 70．D 71．B 72．C 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要讲了年轻一代心理疾病风险上升，社交媒体是可能原因之一，但它的影响取决于使用方式，还从科技公司、父母、青少年自身等角度给出让社交媒体对青少年心理健康发挥积极作用的建议。 69．细节理解题。根据“Social media is also a space where people often compare themselves to others...One study of teens 13 to 17 years old found that almost half reported that time spent on social media made them feel worse about their bodies.”可知，作者提及该研究是为了说明社交媒体在青少年中存在的问题。故选A。 70．细节理解题。根据“Besides, parents can make plans in their families such as...teaching teenagers about responsible online behavior and modeling that behavior...”可知，父母教孩子以礼貌、尊重的方式进行线上交流，属于引导青少年负责任地使用社交媒体，能让社交媒体发挥积极作用。故选D。 71．细节理解题。根据“In recent years, the social media has done some great things...And it can be an important place for people to find support and connection.”可知，人们可以通过社交媒体获得支持和建立联系。故选B。 72．最佳标题题。根据“Chances of depression, anxiety and other mental illnesses have been increasing in young generations...But how big a role social media plays seems to depend on how teens choose to use it.”以及后文围绕“如何让社交媒体对青少年心理健康发挥积极作用”给出的建议可知，文章核心是探讨社交媒体与青少年心理健康的关系及正确使用方式。故选C。 F 阅读下面短文，并用英语回答问题。 Jesse comes from the US and has a column (专栏) in an English newspaper.

He began his climb to achieve his dream after years of preparation. But he went up alone. He started climbing and it was becoming later and later. He did not prepare for camping, so he had to keep on climbing. Soon night fell and Johnson could not see anything. Everything was black. There was no moon, and the stars were covered by clouds. As he was climbing only about 10 feet away from the top, he fell. He could only see darkness passing at a great speed. He kept falling...He thought certainly he would die. But then Johnson felt the long rope tied (系住) to his hand pull very hard. His body was hanging in the air. He had no other choice but to shout, “Help me! Help me!” Suddenly he heard a deep voice, “What do you want me to do?” “Save me!” “Do you really think that I can save you?” “Of course.” “Then cut the rope that is holding you up.” However, Johnson just held tighter (更紧地) to the rope. A few days later, the dead climber was found hanging from a rope ... TWO FEET OFF THE GROUND! How much do you believe in some “ropes”? Sometimes you have to be brave to cut the rope and let go. The result might give you a surprise. 62．From Paragraph 1, we can get the ________ of the story. A．background B．development C．climax (most exciting part) D．ending 63．It’s clear that Johnson ________.

And you are not alone. Teens Health is a website that can help you. It gives a lot of advice for fighting depression (抑郁), dealing with bad feelings and taking care of your body.

A．kids can get advice on how to study well B．teenagers can get help on how to lose weight C．parents can get tips on how to take care of their own bodies D．the advice is not only for teenagers but also for teachers E Chances of depression, anxiety and other mental illnesses have been increasing in young generations for at least a decade. And in recent years, scientists and doctors have often regarded social media as one possible cause. But how big a role social media plays seems to depend on how teens choose to use it. In recent years, social media has done some great things. It has brought people closer together. It has helped people form big communities that can reach around the world. And it can be an important place for people to find support and connection. But some teenagers can come across harmful content (内容) and even suffer from cyberbullying (网络暴力). For instance, one 2022 survey found that nearly half of all teens in the survey were cyberbullied online. Social media is also a space where people often compare themselves to others. Am I pretty enough? Strong enough? Smart enough? Cool enough? One study of teens 13 to 17 years old found that almost half reported that time spent on social media made them feel worse about their bodies. Only about one in every seven said viewing social media made them feel better. To make sure social media plays a positive role, there is a lot we can do to take control. In May 2023, the U.S. Surgeon General shared some advice on teens’ social media use. It offers tips people can take to help ensure teenagers and their families have the necessary information and tools to make social media safer for children. First of all, technology companies can better survey the influence of their products on teens, share data with researchers to increase our overall understanding of the influences, and make development decisions that put safety and health in the first place—including protecting teens’ privacy and better following the age limits. Besides, parents can make plans in their families such as building tech-free zones that better develop in-person relationships, teaching teenagers about responsible online behavior and modeling that behavior, and reporting problematic content and activities. Also, teenagers can follow healthy practices like limiting time on platforms, blocking unwanted content, being careful about sharing personal information, and reaching out if they or friends need help or see abuse (辱骂) on the platforms. Janis Whitlock, a psychologist who has been studying Internet use by teenagers since the early 2000s, says that social media use needs to be intentional. By that, she means it should be used for some purposeful goals, not just to pass the time or as a distraction (分散注意). She asks the teens she works with to put together a “menu of practices” that encourages good mental health. It should include little things they enjoy. Whitlock suggests that if kids feel anxious, they should go back to that menu again and do something from their list-instead of looking for distractions on their phone and social media. 69．Why does the writer mention the study in Paragraph 3? A．To show the problem of social media among teens. B．To compare different ways of viewing social media. C．To introduce the ways to make social media more positive. D．To tell the reasons why teens are cyberbullied on social media. 70．Which of the following situations makes sure the social media plays a positive role? A．Bill often turns to Douyin for short videos as a way to pass his free time. B．Tom shows others’ real names online to help his friend who is being cyberbullied. C．WeChat regularly shares teenagers’ personal information with technology companies. D．Amy’s parents teach her to have polite and respectful online conversations with others. 71．What can we learn about social media from the passage? A．Using social media as a distraction is better than using it for other goals. B．People can find support and connections through the help of social media. C．Over half of the kids feel better about their bodies when using social media. D．Social media is the main cause of depression, anxiety and other mental illnesses. 72．What can be the best title of the passage? A．Online safety: Why does social media matter? B．In-person relationships: How can social media help? C．Social media: How can we use it to improve teens’ mental health? D．Teens’ mental problems: Why do they influence the use of social media?
