Ⅰ.阅读理解
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.
