(2024·安徽宣城高二上期末)
In a new study of more than 50,000 Korean adolescents,those who used a smartphone for more than 4 hours per day had higher rates of adverse mental health and substance use.Jin Hwa Moon and Jong Ho Cha of Hanyang University Medical Center,Korea,and colleagues presented these findings in the open-access journal PLoS ONE on December 6,2023.
Ⅲ.主题语篇阅读
语篇解读 本文是一篇说明文,主要讲的是在一项针对5万多名韩国青少年的新研究中,那些每天使用智能手机超过4小时的人有更高的不良心理健康和药物使用率。
Previous research has shown that smartphone use among adolescents has increased in recent years,and that this usage may be associated with higher risk of adverse health,such as psychiatric disorders(精神障碍),sleep issues,and eye-related problems.
However,growing evidence suggests that at least some daily Internet usage may be associated with better physical and mental health for adolescents.
To deepen understanding of the relationship between adolescents’ use of smartphones and health,Moon,Cha and colleagues analyzed data on more than 50,000 adolescent participants in 2017 and in 2020.The data included the approximate number of daily hours each participant spent on a smartphone as well as various health measures.
The researchers found that in 2020,the percentage of adolescents in the study who used a smartphone more than 2 hours per day was 85.7 percent—up from 64.3 percent in 2017.Adolescents who used a smartphone for more than 4 hours per day had higher rates of stress,thoughts of suicide,and substance use than those with usage below 4 hours per day.However,adolescents that used a smartphone 1-2 hours per day encountered fewer problems than adolescents who did not use a smartphone at all.
The authors note that this study does not confirm a causal relationship between smartphone use and adverse health outcomes.However,the findings could help inform usage guidelines for adolescents—especially if daily usage continues to rise.
1.What does the underlined word “adverse” in paragraph 1 probably mean?
A.Related. B.Negative.
C.Favorable. D.Positive.
√
词义猜测题。根据第二段中“adverse health,such as psychiatric disorders(精神障碍),sleep issues,and eye-related problems”可知,精神障碍、睡眠问题、眼部问题都是adverse health的例子,可推知画线词adverse意为“不利的,反面的”,和negative意思相近,故选B。
解析
2.How did researchers carry out the study?
A.By comparing different studies.
B.By studying adolescents’ health.
C.By analyzing previous information.
D.By collecting data from participants.
√
推理判断题。根据文章首句中“In a new study of more than 50,000 Korean adolescents”和第四段中“To deepen understanding of the relationship between adolescents’ use of smartphones and health,Moon,Cha and colleagues analyzed data on more than 50,000 adolescent participants in 2017 and in 2020.”可知,研究人员通过收集参与者的数据来进行这项研究,故选D。
解析
3.What can be inferred about the results of the new study?
A.Smartphone use is harmful to teenagers.
B.A growing number of teenagers use smartphones.
C.A proper amount of smartphone use is beneficial.
D.The more use of smartphones,the higher risks of mental health.
√
推理判断题。根据倒数第二段中“However,adolescents that used a smartphone 1-2 hours per day encountered fewer problems than adolescents who did not use a smartphone at all.”可知,从这项新研究的结果可以推断出适度使用智能手机是有益的。故选C。
解析
4.What would be the best title for the text?
A.Smartphone Use Among Teenagers on the Rise
B.Smartphone Use Accounting for Poor Mental Health
C.Right Smartphone Use Leading to Fewer Problems in Teenagers
D.Overuse of Smartphones Linked to Mental Health Risks in Teenagers
√
标题归纳题。通读全文,尤其根据第一段中“In a new study of more than 50,000 Korean adolescents,those who used a smartphone for more than 4 hours per day had higher rates of adverse mental health and substance use.”可知,本文主要讲的是在一项针对5万多名韩国青少年的新研究中,那些每天使用智能手机超过4小时的人有更高的不良心理健康和药物使用率,因此最佳题目是D项“青少年过度使用智能手机与心理健康风险有关”,故选D。
解析

Before the Internet age,critical thinking was the most important skill of people.But in the digital age,according to Anastasia Kozyreva,a famous psychologist,a more important skill is critical ignoring.
语篇解读 本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了在数字时代,由于信息过载和注意力经济,批判性思维不再是唯一重要的技能,而更为关键的是“批判性忽视”的技能,并向我们介绍了如何实现“批判性忽视”的三种策略。
As researchers point out,we live in an attention economy where content producers on the Internet compete for our attention.They attract us with many eye-catching stories while providing little useful information,so they can expose(使接触) us to profit-generating advertisements.Therefore,we are not customers but products,and each link we click is a sale of our time and attention.To protect ourselves from this,Kozyreva advocates for learning the skill of critical ignoring,in which readers can control their information environment to reduce exposure to low-quality information.
According to Kozyreva,critical ignoring includes three strategies.The first is to design our environments,which includes removing low-quality yet hard-to-resist information from around.Successful dieters need to keep unhealthy food out of their homes.Similarly,we need to set up a digital environment where attention-attracting items are kept out of sight.Like dieting,if one tries to depend on willpower not to click eye-catching “news”,he’ll surely fail.So,it’s better to keep them out of sight at first!
The next is to evaluate the reliability of information,whose purpose is to protect you from false information.It can be realized by checking the source in the mainstream news agencies,which are trustworthy.
The last is:“Never feed the trolls.” Trolls are some people who spread false information online to cause harm.Do not correct them,because they do not care about whether the information is correct.Annoying others is their goal.So,never respond to their bad behaviour with our attention.
By using the above critical ignoring skills,we can make the most of the Internet while avoiding falling victims(受害者) to those who try to control our attention,time and minds.
5.What can we learn about the attention economy from paragraph 2?
A.It offers more information.
B.It features depressing stories.
C.It saves time for Internet users.
D.It seeks profits from each click.
√
细节理解题。根据第二段中“we live in an attention economy where content producers on the Internet compete for our attention...we are not customers but products,and each link we click is a sale of our time and attention”可知,注意力经济让我们接触盈利性广告,从我们的每次点击中寻求利润。故选D。
解析
6.Why does the author mention dieters in paragraph 3?
A.To discuss the quality of information.
B.To prove the benefits of healthy food.
C.To show the importance of environments.
D.To explain the effectiveness of willpower.
√
推理判断题。根据第三段中“Successful dieters need to keep unhealthy food out of their homes.Similarly,we need to set up a digital environment where attention-attracting items are kept out of sight.”可推知,作者提到节食者需要保证家中没有不健康食物的例子是为了强调我们需要建立一个让那些吸引眼球的东西远离我们的视线的数字环境,即表明环境的重要性。故选C。
解析
7.What should we do to deal with Internet trolls according to the text?
A.Turn a deaf ear to them.
B.Review their intention.
C.Correct their behaviour.
D.Send hard facts to them.
细节理解题。根据倒数第二段中“Trolls are some people who spread false information online to cause harm.Do not correct them,because they do not care about whether the information is correct.Annoying others is their goal.So,never respond to their bad behaviour with our attention.”可知,对于发挑衅帖子的人,最好对他们充耳不闻。故选A。
解析
√
8.What is the text mainly about?
A.Importance of critical thinking in online search.
B.Skills to practice critical ignoring in the digital age.
C.Benefits of critical ignoring in the attention economy.
D.Strategies to improve critical thinking for Internet users.
√
主旨大意题。根据第一段中“But in the digital age,according to Anastasia Kozyreva,a famous psychologist,a more important skill is critical ignoring.”和第三段中“According to Kozyreva,critical ignoring includes three strategies.”可知,本文主要讨论了在数字时代批判性忽视技能的重要性以及如何实践批判性忽视的技能。故选B。

$Six point four, about thirty years ago, everyone watched the same news and talked about IT at work the next day. Oh, that is very different from what we do nowadays. right? In those days, the families would watch the evening news on T. V. So does that mean that everyone watched the same T. V program? Can you tell me more about IT? After dinner, families would gather around the television and watch the news from seven P. M to seven thirty PM. Really that interesting. But what I don't quite understand is that everyone in the family watch the same news together. Did you have the same interests? Well, let me put in another way the due to the limited ways to find out the most up to date news in those days, watching the evening news became a kind of common practice for many families. Did I make myself clearer? That must have happened before we had computers and the internet. exactly. We now can follow the news at any time, twenty four hours a day.
Lesson two, six point three. And now it's time for ask the experts. Our expert this week is professor jesup, a professor of media studies. Good to have you on our program. Professor josep, thanks. I have collected a number of questions from our website. Here is the first question. Do you think the internet is affected? Traditional media news, for example? Well, yes, absolutely. The internet has made a great impact on how news is produced. In the past, IT was the newspaper editor who decided what was news and covered IT. But now anyone can, with the camera in our smart phones, we can make a recording of a high definition video of an event, upload IT to the internet, and then people all over the world can see IT. As a result, big media corporations are being cut out. Some sites are bringing the news directly from the people who are experiencing or witnessing IT on the spot of a car accident, for example. That's interesting. And just now you mentioned how the internet has changed news. Professor of our second question is, how has IT change the way we use language? Well, obviously, the internet has introduced a lot of new words to our language who had heard of microblogging before the internet. But more importantly, I believe the internet has made media more interactive. Media used to be a one way process. They spoke and we listened. Now it's much more like a dialogue. Every article has readers comments below IT, and anyone can express what they think. Okay, thanks. preference. Cip, now we've only got time for one more question. You mentioned newspapers earlier then having a hard time, do you think we will still read newspapers in the future? Most countries have seen a drop in newspaper sales in the last few years. It's not just the loss of readers. That is a problem. In the U. S. Newspapers make almost ninety percent of their money from advertising. This has occurred for several reasons. Firstly, a lot of companies and people now choose to advertise online. Secondly, when newspaper sales drop, fewer people want to advertise in the paper and they won't pay as much to advertise. In my opinion, newspaper business will find IT much harder to survive in the future. okay. Thanks, professor jesup. It's a pleasure, as always, to talk to you, and thanks for taking part in. Ask the expert.
