A
A junior at Loyola High School in Los Angeles, Adam Faze, 16, decided in October to organise a film festival. “I want to go to film school and work in the industry, but Loyola has nothing like that, which is strange because we're right here in LA (a part of the city is Hollywood where films are made),” he said. “So instead of sitting around and feeling unhappy, I decided to do something.”
The school was unenthusiastic. “Every year, students approach me with many projects that are really difficult to carry out,” said Lance Ochsner, Adam's adviser. “I thought it wouldn't happen, but I gave him the go ahead anyway.”
Adam sent letters and made cold calls, and got no response. By January, he had little more than a single participant: Jordan Roberts, the father of a friend and a writer director. (Mr. Roberts had agreed to serve as a festival judge.)
Then Adam looked through a catalog for Loyola's annual money raising event and noticed that someone had donated two tickets to a Sony movie premiere(the first public performance of a movie). That person turned out to be an Oscar campaigner. By working the connection, he managed to line up a festival speaker: Michael De Luca, a three time Oscar nominee (someone who has been officially suggested for the prize of Oscar) for producing films like “The Social Network”.
“Adam's energy, enthusiasm and fearlessness are infectious,” Mr. De Luca wrote in an email. “I wish I had done this at my high school!” Adam got a local newspaper to write an article about Mr. De Luca's involvement, and that started a sponsorship and submission wildfire.
The Loyola Film Festival is set for Saturday and advertised as “the best in student film making”. It will feature 72 films in four categories.
But Adam is already focused on his next plan. In an email to a reporter, he wrote, “Could you mention that I' m still looking for a summer internship?”
1.What did Adam want his high school to do
A.To make some new films.
B.To get involved in film activities.
C.To encourage students to watch films.
D.To allow students to enter film festivals.
2.What was Lance Ochsner's attitude towards Adam's plan
A.Curious. B.Surprised.
C.Doubtful. D.Satisfied.
3.How did Adam know of Michael De Luca
A.From a letter.
B.From a telephone call.
C.From the father of a friend.
D.From a donation list of Loyola's.
4.What is the passage mainly about
A.How a teen organised a film festival.
B.Why the Loyola Film Festival is held.
C.A special high school in Los Angeles.
D.The personal life of a 16 year old teen.
B
Kids spend a lot of time looking at screens, and some parents worry, but a new study argues against the fears parents may feel.
“The danger is that they're hearing a message that social media, digital technology use is causing very serious and harmful problems like depression (抑郁症) and suicide related (与自杀有关的) behaviors. And the idea is that if you shut off social media, which lots of kids use to connect with each other and find out information about health, you could be making a situation worse. Parents are really being sent a message that is not supported by anything scientifically.” Candice Odgers, professor of psychological science at the University of California, said.
Odgers and her colleagues looked at the screen related behavior of 400 public school students in North Carolina aged 10 to 14.This group was picked as a representative sample of race and socioeconomic status for the entire U.S. The researchers found that the kids spent between almost five hours to seven hours per day on their devices, with the older kids online the most. That's a lot of hours, but:
“Overall, what we find is no connection between the amount of time that young people spend online using digital technologies and mental health symptoms like depression and anxiety. When we do find associations, they were actually quite surprising to us. We found that young people who sent more text messages actually reported better mental health.
Now, again, this was a small association, but it reflects what other people have found: that people who are very connected offline and who use technology in the positive ways to stay connected often, are more connected online as well and experiencing better mental health.”
So why the fear about screen time Odgers argues that the methodologies for older studies may have led to false conclusions.
“One of the issues with the research that's been done to date has been that youths are, you know, in school... They have a survey put in front of them, and they're asked to recall, over the past six months, ‘How often are you online?’and ‘Have you ever felt depressed?’ And the correlation (相互关系) between those two things has been used to spread a lot of fear around this connection between social media use and things like depression—99.5 percent of the reasons that kids differ in their depression are due to something other than the time they spend online.”
5.What do we know according to Professor Odgers
A.Social media is causing serious problems.
B.Digital technology is the cause of depression.
C.Parents are holding wrong ideas about social media.
D.Parents have showed too much concern for their children.
6.Who are the respondents (受访者) of professor Odgers' team's research
A.Kids all over America.
B.Kids and parents in North Carolina.
C.Kids with different family backgrounds.
D.A number of public elementary and middle school students.
7.What can we infer from paragraph 4
A.The more screen time kids have, the less happy they are.
B.Kids who use social media more are not necessarily depressed.
C.Using digital technology has nothing to do with one's health.
D.The relationship between digital technology and depression is unclear.
8.What does the underlined word “methodologies” refer to
A.Time and effort. B.Aim and purpose.
C.Ideas and dreams. D.Means and principles.

2.C 解析:观点态度题。根据第二段的内容可推知,兰斯·奥克斯纳对亚当的计划持怀疑态度。故选C。
3.D 解析:细节理解题。根据第四段的内容可知,亚当是通过一份筹款目录认识迈克尔·德·卢卡的。故选D。

B
【解题导语】 本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了加州大学心理科学教授坎迪斯·奥德格斯团队进行的新研究发现屏幕时间并不会引起青少年抑郁,事实上,家长们收到的“屏幕事件会影响孩子的心理健康”这一信息没有任何科学依据。
5.C 解析:细节理解题。根据第二段中的“‘Parents are really being sent a message that is not supported by anything scientifically.’Candice Odgers, professor of psychological science at the University of California, said.(加州大学心理科学教授坎迪斯·奥德格斯说:‘家长们收到的信息实际上没有任何科学依据’)”可知,坎迪斯·奥德格斯认为父母对社交媒体持有错误的观点。故选C。
6.D 解析:细节理解题。根据第三段中的“Odgers and her colleagues looked at the screen related behavior of 400 public school students in North Carolina aged 10 to 14.(奥德格斯和她的同事研究了北卡罗来纳州400名10至14岁的公立学校学生的屏幕相关行为)”可知,奥德格斯团队的研究对象是一些公立学校的中小学生。故选D。
7.B 解析:推理判断题。根据第四段“总的来说,我们发现年轻人使用数字技术上网的时间与抑郁和焦虑等心理健康症状之间没有联系。当我们发现关联时,它们实际上让我们非常惊讶。我们发现,发送更多短信的年轻人实际上心理健康状况更好”可知,使用社交媒体更多的孩子不一定会抑郁。故选B。
8.D 解析:词义猜测题。根据画线词前的“So why the fear about screen time?(那么,为什么担心屏幕时间呢)”以及上文的研究可知,加州大学心理科学教授坎迪斯·奥德格斯团队进行的新研究发现屏幕时间并不会引起青少年抑郁,事实上,家长们收到的“屏幕事件会影响孩子的心理健康”这一信息没有任何科学依据,因此此处是说旧的研究方法可能导致错误的结论。由此可知,画线词的词义为“方法和准则”。故选D。
Ⅱ.七选五

Ⅲ.语法填空
【解题导语】 本文是一篇新闻报道。9月17日,北京2022年冬奥会吉祥物“冰墩墩”和冬残奥会吉祥物“雪容融”发布活动在北京举行,这两个新的吉祥物将成为冬季奥运会和残奥会的精神象征。
1.on 解析:考查介词。句意:中国于9月17日揭幕了北京2022年冬季奥运会和残奥会的官方吉祥物。在某一天,使用介词on。故填on 。
2.jointly 解析:考查副词。句意:吉祥物由韩正副总理、国际奥委会主席托马斯·巴赫、2022年北京冬奥会和残奥会组织委员会执行主席苟仲文共同揭幕。修饰谓语动词用副词。故填 jointly。
3.attended 解析:考查过去分词。句意: 在一个由1 600人参加的仪式上。ceremony(仪式)和attend之间为被动关系,应使用过去分词。故填attended。
4.is named 解析:考查动词的时态和语态。句意:熊猫在中文中被称为“Bing Dwen Dwen”。主语the panda 和name之间为被动关系,介绍吉祥物的情况应使用一般现在时。故填is named。
5.characteristics 解析:考查名词的数。句意:组织者说,“‘Bing’在中文中的意思是‘冰’,而‘Dwen Dwen’则表示‘健康和独创性’,这也是熊猫具有的特征……”根据“health and ingenuity”可知,这是两个特征,故填characteristics。
6.recognisable/recognised 解析:考查形容词。句意:熊猫也许是中国最知名的动物。形容词修饰animal species作定语 。 recognized意为“公认的、经过验证的”,recognisable意为“容易认出的、易于识别的”。故填recognisable/recognised。
7.the 解析:考查冠词。句意:赛事组织者还介绍了雪容融作为2022年北京冬季残奥会的吉祥物。mascot后有定语“for the 2022 Beijing Winter Paralympic Games”修饰,应在mascot前使用定冠词表示特指意义。 故填the。
8.contains 解析:考查动词的时态。句意:“Shuey Rhon Rhon”不易译成英语,但它包含了“雪”和“忍”两个字。主语是 Shuey Rhon Rhon,contain作为谓语动词和“does not easily translate”并列,应使用一般现在时的第三人称单数形式。故填contains。
9.that/which 解析:考查定语从句的关系代词。句意:奥运会将在北京市区、延庆郊区和邻近的河北省协办城市张家口三地共同举办。空后的从句为定语从句,修饰先行词the Games,从句中缺主语。故填that/which。
10.surrounding 解析:考查形容词。句意:奥运会将在北京市区、延庆郊区和邻近的河北省协办城市张家口三地共同举办。此空需要填入形容词修饰Hebei Province,作定语,surrounding意为“周围的、附近的”。故填surrounding。
