The ways of narration(讲述) in novels are various. Wuthering Heights has a difficult narrative structure. The story begins in 1801. It is first narrated by Lockwood, a visitor staying in Thrushcross Grange, one of the two houses, where we can meet different characters in the novel. Lockwood is a narrow, dull man and also a bad man who lives emotionally through a dirty interest in the lives of others. It is this side of his character that leads into the main narrative stream of the novel. His interest in what he sees and experiences on his visits to Wuthering Heights leads him to encourage Nelly Dean, the house-keeper at the Grange, to provide him with the information concerning the people that he has met: Heathcliff, Cathy, Hareton, Joseph and, of course, the ghost of Catherine.
Nelly Dean's story forms the major part of the narrative. While Nelly is meant to be an objective narrator, she has a lot to do with what has happened over the past twenty-five years that have led to the present state of affairs. Therefore, as readers, we need to realize how Nelly presents events and characters and her own role in determining the course of events.
The final part of the novel concerns the immediate future and provides us with the results of Lockwood's visit to the Heights and the appearance of Catherine's ghost. It is narrated by both Lockwood and Nelly.
Finally, Isabella, the wife of Heathcliff, through a letter, narrates one middle part of the novel. Although this narrative structure may, at first, be very difficult, it is necessary because in the world of the novel, time order of the years is not so important.
1. From the first paragraph, we can know the first narrator is _________.
A. Lockwood B. Thrushcross C. Heathcliff D. Nelly Dean
2.What is special about the middle part of the novel
A. One part of it is written in the form of a letter.
B. It describes how Isabella and Heathcliff got separated.
C. It is the most difficult part in the novel.
D. One part of it suggests Catherine has been dead.
3. This passage is probably ________.
A. a piece of news B. a part of a novel C. a writing instruction D. a reading guide

Millennials(千禧一代) may have been the first generation to come of age online, but their Gen Z successors(接替者) have truly grown up with it—and hardly ever log off.
A 2018 Pew Research Center survey found that 95 percent of teenagers have access to a smartphone; 45 percent say they use the Internet almost constantly. For many of them, social media have been a space for self-expression, entertainment and connection.
But as social media use has risen among teenagers, so have rates of depression, and anxiety. Though it is not a direct relationship, there is evidence that some platforms have worsened young people's mental health issues; for instance, research documents from social media showed that Instagram worsened body-image issues for one in three teenage girls.
A March 2022 study published in the scientific journal Nature found that the relationship between social media use and mental health varied by age, but that there were two windows where social media use was more likely to have a negative effect on the well-being of adolescents: at the start of puberty(青春期) and again around age 19.
Emma Lembke, a 19-year-old student at Washington University in St. Louis, experienced those negative effects first-hand. That's why she started the Log Off Movement in June 2020. The project aims to encourage dialogue among young people who are feeling the negative effects of social media and want to adjust their relationship to it. In a phone interview, Ms. Lembke spoke about the movement she started, the upsides and downsides of social media, and how she has worked to loosen its hold on her well-being.
1. What can be inferred about the survey
A. Social media lessen body-image anxiety.
B. Social media have become a trend to teenagers.
C. 95 percent of adults have their own smartphones.
D. One third of teenagers use the Internet frequently.
2. Who might be negatively affected most according to Nature
A. A 5-year-old child. B. A 13-year-old student.
C. A 26-year-old journalist. D. A 40-year-old manager.
3. Why did Lembke start the Log Off Movement
A. To draw attention of the public.
B. To share her sorrowful experience.
C. To inspire interactions among the youth.
D. To recall the ups and downs of social media.
4. What can be a suitable title for the text
A. Millennials Are in Need of Further Concern
B. Young People Benefit from Modern Science
C. Social Media Look like a Double-edged Sword
D. A New Student Movement Wants You to Log Off

B
答案:1-4BBCD
解析:1.推理判断题。根据第二段第一句“...95 percent of teenagers have access to a smartphone; 45 percent say they use the Internet almost constantly.”可知,皮尤研究中心2018年的一项调查发现,95%的青少年可以使用智能手机,说明社交媒体已成为青少年的一种趋势。故选B。
2.推理判断题。根据倒数第二段中“...social media use was more likely to have a negative effect on the well-being of adolescents: at the start of puberty and again around age 19.”可知,受到负面影响最大的是青春期初和19岁左右。由此可知,选项中最符合的是13岁的学生。故选B。
3.细节理解题。根据最后一段第三句“The project aims to encourage dialogue among young people who are feeling the negative effects of social media...”可知,Lembke发起Log Off Movement 主要因为自己经历了这些负面影响,所以想要鼓励年轻人进行互动。故选C。
4.主旨大意题。这篇文章主要介绍社交媒体对青少年产生了不少负面影响,Lembke在亲身经历这些影响后发起了Log Off Movement,旨在鼓励年轻人进行互动。再根据第一段第一句“Millennials may have been the first generation to come of age online, but their Gen Z successors have truly grown up with it...”可知,D项“一场新学生运动希望你注销”可以作为最佳标题。故选D。
