Social media provides materialists with ideal
opportunities to compare themselves with
others,which makes them subject to passive and
addictive user behavior.This stresses them out
and,ultimately,leads to low life satisfaction,
according to a new study.
The researchers headed by Dr.Phillip
Ozimek from Germany employed 1,230 people
for their online survey.In order to participate,
respondents had to visit at least one social media
channel at least once a week.On average,the
participants stated they spent just over two hours
a day on social media.
The team used six different questionnaires to
determine the extent to which the participants had
a materialistic attitude and tended to compare
themselves with others,whether they used social
media more actively or passively,whether they were
addicted to social media,how stressed and how
satisfied they were with their lives.
"The data showed a stronger materialistic
approach goes hand in hand with a tendency to
compare oneself with others,"points out
Ozimek.This comparison is easy to make on
social media,primarily through passive use-by
looking at the content posted by other users.
Materialism and passive use were also linked to
addictive use of social media.
"Users are constantly thinking about the
respective channels and fear they're missing out
on something if they aren't online,"explains
Ozimek."This in turn leads to poorer mental
health like stress.The final link in the chain is

语篇导读
体裁:说明文
主题语境:“人与社会”“健康生活”
语篇内容:文章讲述了社交媒体为唯物主义
者提供了与他人比较的理想机会,这使他们
受到被动和上瘾用户行为的影响。新的研
究发现,这会给他们带来压力,最终导致生
活满意度降低。随后介绍了研究开展的经
过以及专家给出的建议。
长难句突破
解析:该句主千为“The team used six
different questionnaires”,剩余部分“to
determine...with their lives”作目的状语,
说明团队使用六份不同调查问卷的目的。
其中to which..,with others部分是which
引导的定语从句,后面的whether.
passively、whether..social media、how
stressed...their lives分别是由whether和
how引导的宾语从句,作determine的宾语。
译文:该团队使用了六份不同的问卷来确定
参与者物质主义态度的程度,以及他们倾向
于与他人比较的程度,他们是更主动还是被
动地使用社交媒体,他们是否沉迷于社交媒
体,他们对生活的压力和满意度如何。

reduced life satisfaction.
"Overall,the study provides further evidence
that the use of social media is associated with risks,
especially for people with a highly materialistic
mindset,"says the psychologist."This is particu-
larly worrying,because social media can stimu-
late and increase materialistic values through
influencer marketing.Meanwhile,the platforms
attract materialists anyway,as they're a perfect
way to satisfy materialistic needs.
"It's definitely a good idea to be aware of
the amount of time you spend on social media
and to reduce it,"recommends Ozimek,who
advises against giving up social media completely.
"If you did,you're likely to over-correct."He
also suggests recording materialism and social
media use in patients undergoing treatment for
mental health disorders."While these factors are
often irrelevant,they can be a starting point for
additional interventions patients can try out at
home.”

篇为说明文的调查研究类,主旨在第一
段,尤其是“This stresses them out and,
ultimately,leads to low life satisfaction,
according to a new study.”。由此可知,社
交媒体会导致人们的幸福感降低。文章
其余段落分别是对“社交媒体使用过多对
人产生不良影响”这一主题的解释和说
明。据此考生在比较第1题四个选项的
基础上,确定正确答案为C项。用此策
略,考生在答题时会更加省时高效。
2.利用表达褒贬或态度变化的词句,判断情
感方向。文章第6段对调查研究进行总
结:这项研究提供了进一步的证据,证明
使用社交媒体与风险“risk”有关,下一句
用了“worrying'”,这两个词都说明了研究
者的态度。利用这一策略,考生就可快速
精准地确定第3题答案为D项(concern
担忧)。
解题陷阱
第4题。题目问“What does Ozimek pro-
pose concerning using social media?(关于
使用社交媒体Ozimek提出了什么建
议?)”,句中关键词propose,考生会使用同
义替换原则,直接对应原文中advise所在
的信息句“.,,who advises against giving
up social media completely.'If you did,
you're likely to over-correct.”。句意理
解中,考生容易忽略against,把信息误看作

3.What kind of feeling is expressed by Ozimek
“专家建议放弃社交媒体的使用,这样做是
in paragraph 6?
正确的”,因而错选C项。其实本题的信息
A.Pessimism.
B.Sympathy.
是advises之前的内容,Ozimek建议要注
C.Shock.
D.Concern.
意在社交媒体花费的时间并减少使用时间。
4.What does Ozimek propose concerning using
所以提醒考生在做题时信息词前后都要仔
social media?
细阅读,避免理解偏差,落入陷阱。
A.Restricting the duration.
B.Logging onto well-rated websites.
C.Abandoning it for good.
D.Prohibiting patients from using it.
[答案及解析]
1.C标题归纳题。根据第一段并结合全文内容可知,选项C“更多的社交媒体唯物主义,更少的
幸福”最适合做文章的标题。故选C。
2.C细节理解题。根据第二段中的“In order to participate,respondents had to visit at least
one social media channel at least once a week.”可知,要符合调查资格,参与者必须是社交媒
体的常规用户。故选C。
3.D推理判断题。根据第六段内容可推知,Ozimek表达了一种担忧、忧虑之情。故选D。
4.A细节理解题。根据最后一段中的“‘It's definitely a good idea to be aware of the amount
of time you spend on social media and to reduce it,’recommends Ozimek”可知,Ozimek建
议限制时间。故选A。
选题意图
1.本篇为调查研究类的说明文,话题新,词汇量大,句式结构复杂,理解难度大。选题目的在于引
导学生培养宏观主题意识,掌握科学的做题方法,理清文章结构,帮助学生快读、准确地寻找答
案,树立做好难题的信心。
2.文章基于说明文的语篇类型,透析说明文语篇结构,分析解题技巧,引导学生学会快速归纳文
章主旨,获取全文信息。如用此法速解第1题标题归纳题,借助语篇结构定位服务主旨的细节
信息速解第2题。
3.引导学生养成思维严谨的习惯。定位理解信息时,信息词前后都要仔细阅读,瞻前顾后,避免
理解偏差,落入陷阱,如第4题。
