I was born in a poor community on the north side of Boston, US, raised by a single mother who didn’t finish 3rd grade, lived each day on food stamps (券) and attended what the media called “the most dysfunctional (功能失调的) public school district”. Not many people expected much of me, so I had to expect
On my 13th birthday, I bought a poster of Harvard to hang in my room. Being at Harvard became what I dreamt about. Even if my electricity was cut off, I still woke up at 5: 30, because I knew that my poster of Harvard was still hanging only two feet away from me.
Reminding myself of my goal each day made it easy to say no to the same choices I saw my peers making, because those paths wouldn’t have had me closer to my goal. Being poor could not take away my power to decide what I choose to do with my day. The poster gave me the courage to cold email about 50 Harvard students so I could ask for feedback on my application essays; it gave me the energy to study just one more hour on my SATs when my friends were asleep; and it gave me the determination to submit just one more scholarship application when180 others had already turned me down.
Every day, I could feel myself getting closer and closer to my goal as my writing got better, my SAT score increased, and my scholarship checks started coming in. Finally, an email arrived from Harvard. The first word was “Congratulations!” A month later, Harvard flew me up to visit the campus where for the first time I stepped onto my dreaming land.
Who you are today is the result of the decisions you made yesterday, and who you will be tomorrow will be the result of the choices you make today. Who do you want to be tomorrow

Twenty years ago, the idea of sharing our lives so openly with the world was unheard of However, for young people today it is considered completely normal to share pictures of their lives and interact(互动) online every day. Fans of social media point out that the world has never been so connected as it has allowed people to make friends, learn about the world and celebrate life.
However, many people have concerns about the effects of this new way of living, particularly around the amount and type of information that is shared so openly. Recently researchers have found that too much time on social media may have some negative effects. They measured people’s attitudes and feelings before and after watching social media sites. They found that the mere time people spent on social media, the more unhappy they became.
There are a number of reasons for this. When watching social media, people often see photographs and stories showing beautiful holidays, fun parties and fashionable clothes. People seldom post negative stories or bad pictures, so it can be misleading. For those looking at these pictures and comparing them to their own lives, they can end up feeling depressed. They might think their lives are worse in comparison. Even for those people who post positive stories and pictures, they too can feel stressed and worried. The number of “likes” and comments on their posts can make them anxious about their popularity. Of course, there is also the problem of “cyber bullying”(网络欺凌) where people become victims of bullying online when others make negative or cruel comments about them.
The reality is that social media is a part of modern life and it is not going to go away. This research shows us that it is important to find a balance between our online and offline lives. We don’t have to disconnect from the Internet to live a happy life, but we should realize that the pictures we see and stories we read are only part of a bigger picture. If we can do that, we can protect ourselves and enjoy our lives.
8. What effect does social media have according to the recent research
A. It enables people to make more friends on the Internet.
B. It increases unhappiness for people using it too much.
C. It makes people have much more wonderful lives.
D. It helps people to have a better knowledge of the world
9. Why are people worried when they post positive stories
A. They fear others mislead their posts.
B. They think others have happier lives.
C. They fear they may be cyber bullied by others.
D. They fear others have no interest in the stories.
10. How does the author develop paragraph 3
A. By giving causes. B. By listing figures.
C. By making comparison. D. By describing process.
11. What is the author’s purpose in writing the passage
A. Persuading people to disconnect from the Internet.
B. Introducing the convenience social media creates.
C. Describing the threats caused by social media.
D. Telling us to balance online and offline lives.
【答案】8. B 9. C 10. A 11. D
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍了社交媒体的流行以及对人们生活的影响，并提醒人们用正确的心态去对待社交媒体所展示的内容。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“They measured people’s attitudes and feelings before and after watching social media sites. They found that the mere time people spent on social media, the more unhappy they became.(他们测量了人们在观看社交媒体网站前后的态度和感受。他们发现，人们花在社交媒体上的时间越长，他们就越不开心)”可知，如果人们过度使用社交媒体，人们会不快乐。故选B。
【9题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段“Even for those people who post positive stories and pictures, they too can feel stressed and worried. The number of “likes” and comments on their posts can make them anxious about their popularity. Of course, there is also the problem of “cyber bullying” where people become victims of bullying online when others make negative or cruel comments about them. (即使是那些发布正面故事和图片的人，他们也会感到压力和担忧。他们帖子上的“点赞”和评论数量会让他们对自己的受欢迎程度感到焦虑。当然，还有“网络欺凌”的问题，当其他人对他们发表负面或残酷的评论时，人们会成为网络欺凌的受害者)”可知，发布积极故事的人们也会害怕遭遇其他人的网络欺凌。故选C。
【10题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段“There are a number of reasons for this.(这个的原因有很多)”以及段落内容可知，本段主要介绍了人们使用社交媒体时间越长越不开心的原因，即作者是通过给出原因来展开第三段的。故选A。
11题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“This research shows us that it is important to find a balance between our online and offline lives. We don’t have to disconnect from the Internet to live a happy life, but we should realize that the pictures we see and stories we read are only part of a bigger picture.(这项研究向我们表明，在我们的线上和线下生活之间找到平衡是很重要的。我们不必为了过上幸福的生活而与互联网断开连接，但我们应该意识到，我们看到的图片和读到的故事只是更大图景的一部分)”可知，作者写这篇文章是为了提醒读者平衡线上和线下生活，这是很重要的。故选D。
D
The sun rises above the Arctic Ocean (北冰洋). Across the frozen sea, a white bear moves slowly.
The bear stops and sways his head from side to side. There is nothing to see but endless ice and red sky. Then his powerful nose senses what his eyes cannot: a beluga whale is nearby.
The bear follows the smell and spots a large hole in the ice where a small white whale is swimming. He silently walks toward the hole, then stops, standing still. The whale does not see the bear, whose white fur makes him appear invisible against the ice.
Finally, the whale swims close to where the bear is waiting. With terrifying speed, the bear comes to life and moves toward the whale. In a moment it is over, and the bear eats his first meal in nearly a week.
Polar bears rule the frozen sea, but their ancestors weren’t always built for ice and snow. The first Arctic bears were brown bears, a species that includes grizzly bears. They came to the icy north over a hundred thousand years ago.
No one knows for sure why these bears traveled to such a cold place. Scientists think they might have wandered north looking for food. Maybe they became trapped by glaciers and couldn’t leave. Whatever the reason, the bears never should have survived.
But they did. They got used to their new environment. Their bodies changed. Their behavior changed, too. Eventually, the bears developed into an entirely new species: the polar bear. You can see some of the characteristics that polar bears developed to survive.
Sadly, these characteristics may now threaten the polar bear’s survival. As sea ice melts due to global warming, polar bears are frequently forced to come ashore. They are poor hunters on land, which means they often go a long time between meals. The polar bear, king of the Arctic, is now classified as a threatened species.
Although the future of the polar bear is unknown, the tale of two bears continues. As temperatures rise, grizzly bears have been spotted moving north into polar bear territory. These long -lost cousins, once forced apart by nature, are coming back together again.
12. What can be inferred about the white bear mentioned in the first four paragraphs
A. It is noisy. B. It is smelly.
C. It is starving. D. It has good eyesight.
13. What do we know about polar bears’ ancestors
A. They were a darker- colored species.
B. They were born to live in ice and snow.
C. They had no trouble getting used to the icy north.
D. They came to the Arctic Ocean about 1,000 years ago.
14. Why are polar bears struggling to survive
A. They are losing their hunting ground.
B. They are threatened by other animals.
C. They are spending little time on land.
D. They have difficulty reaching the shore.
15. Which of the following can be the best title for the text
A. The climate change
B. The polar bear’s favorite meal
C. The dark past of the polar bear
D. The mysteries of the Arctic Ocean
【答案】12. C 13. A 14. A 15. C
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。本文说明了北极熊的祖先为适应环境而不断改变自身特征，而现在的这些特征却让北极熊陷入困境。
【12题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段“In a moment it is over, and the bear eats his first meal in nearly a week. (过了一会儿，一切都结束了，熊吃了近一周来的第一顿饭)”可知，白熊吃了近一周来才吃第一顿饭，可见它非常饥饿。因此，关于前四段提到的白熊，可以推断C项“It is starving.(它快饿死了)”符合题意，故选C项。
【13题详解】
细节理解题。根据第五段“Polar bears rule the frozen sea, but their ancestors weren’t always built for ice and snow. The first Arctic bears were brown bears, a species that includes grizzly bears. (北极熊统治着冰冻的海洋，但它们的祖先并不总是为冰雪而生。最早的北极熊是棕熊，包括灰熊)”可知，最早的北极熊不是白熊，是棕熊，包括灰熊，颜色要深一些。因此，我们对北极熊的祖先A项“They were a darker colored species.(它们是一种颜色较深的物种)”符合题意，故选A项。
【14题详解】
推理判断题。根据倒数第二段“Sadly, these characteristics may now threaten the polar bear’s survival. As sea ice melts due to global warming, polar bears are frequently forced to come ashore. (可悲的是，这些特征现在可能威胁到北极熊的生存。由于全球变暖，海冰融化，北极熊经常被迫上岸)”可知，随着气候变暖，北极熊可以狩猎的冰面范围在逐渐消失，使它们面临生存威胁。因此，北极熊挣扎着生存的原因是A项“They are losing their hunting ground.(他们正在失去猎场)”符合题意，故选A项。
【15题详解】
主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是根据第五段“The first Arctic bears were brown bears, a species that includes grizzly bears. (最早的北极熊是棕熊，包括灰熊)”和第六段“No one knows for sure why these bears traveled to such a cold place. Scientists think they might have wandered north looking for food(没有人确切知道为什么这些熊会来到如此寒冷的地方。科学家们认为他们可能向北游荡寻找食物)”和最后一段“Sadly, these characteristics may now threaten the polar bear’s survival. As sea ice melts due to global warming, polar bears are frequently forced to come ashore. (可悲的是，这些特征现在可能威胁到北极熊的生存。由于全球变暖，海冰融化，北极熊经常被迫上岸)”可知，北极熊的祖先颜色更暗，它们可能为了寻找食物而来到北极，为适应环境而不断改变自身特征，由于全球变暖，海冰融化，北极熊面临生存威胁，文章暗含北极熊误入北极的黑暗的过去。因此，文本的最佳标题是C项“The dark past of the polar bear(北极熊的黑暗过去)”符合题意，故选C项。

I was born in a poor community on the north side of Boston, US, raised by a single mother who didn’t finish 3rd grade, lived each day on food stamps (券) and attended what the media called “the most dysfunctional (功能失调的) public school district”. Not many people expected much of me, so I had to expect
On my 13th birthday, I bought a poster of Harvard to hang in my room. Being at Harvard became what I dreamt about. Even if my electricity was cut off, I still woke up at 5: 30, because I knew that my poster of Harvard was still hanging only two feet away from me.
Reminding myself of my goal each day made it easy to say no to the same choices I saw my peers making, because those paths wouldn’t have had me closer to my goal. Being poor could not take away my power to decide what I choose to do with my day. The poster gave me the courage to cold email about 50 Harvard students so I could ask for feedback on my application essays; it gave me the energy to study just one more hour on my SATs when my friends were asleep; and it gave me the determination to submit just one more scholarship application when180 others had already turned me down.
Every day, I could feel myself getting closer and closer to my goal as my writing got better, my SAT score increased, and my scholarship checks started coming in. Finally, an email arrived from Harvard. The first word was “Congratulations!” A month later, Harvard flew me up to visit the campus where for the first time I stepped onto my dreaming land.
Who you are today is the result of the decisions you made yesterday, and who you will be tomorrow will be the result of the choices you make today. Who do you want to be tomorrow

Twenty years ago, the idea of sharing our lives so openly with the world was unheard of However, for young people today it is considered completely normal to share pictures of their lives and interact(互动) online every day. Fans of social media point out that the world has never been so connected as it has allowed people to make friends, learn about the world and celebrate life.
However, many people have concerns about the effects of this new way of living, particularly around the amount and type of information that is shared so openly. Recently researchers have found that too much time on social media may have some negative effects. They measured people’s attitudes and feelings before and after watching social media sites. They found that the mere time people spent on social media, the more unhappy they became.
There are a number of reasons for this. When watching social media, people often see photographs and stories showing beautiful holidays, fun parties and fashionable clothes. People seldom post negative stories or bad pictures, so it can be misleading. For those looking at these pictures and comparing them to their own lives, they can end up feeling depressed. They might think their lives are worse in comparison. Even for those people who post positive stories and pictures, they too can feel stressed and worried. The number of “likes” and comments on their posts can make them anxious about their popularity. Of course, there is also the problem of “cyber bullying”(网络欺凌) where people become victims of bullying online when others make negative or cruel comments about them.
The reality is that social media is a part of modern life and it is not going to go away. This research shows us that it is important to find a balance between our online and offline lives. We don’t have to disconnect from the Internet to live a happy life, but we should realize that the pictures we see and stories we read are only part of a bigger picture. If we can do that, we can protect ourselves and enjoy our lives.
8. What effect does social media have according to the recent research
A. It enables people to make more friends on the Internet.

The sun rises above the Arctic Ocean (北冰洋). Across the frozen sea, a white bear moves slowly.
The bear stops and sways his head from side to side. There is nothing to see but endless ice and red sky. Then his powerful nose senses what his eyes cannot: a beluga whale is nearby.
The bear follows the smell and spots a large hole in the ice where a small white whale is swimming. He silently walks toward the hole, then stops, standing still. The whale does not see the bear, whose white fur makes him appear invisible against the ice.
Finally, the whale swims close to where the bear is waiting. With terrifying speed, the bear comes to life and moves toward the whale. In a moment it is over, and the bear eats his first meal in nearly a week.
Polar bears rule the frozen sea, but their ancestors weren’t always built for ice and snow. The first Arctic bears were brown bears, a species that includes grizzly bears. They came to the icy north over a hundred thousand years ago.
No one knows for sure why these bears traveled to such a cold place. Scientists think they might have wandered north looking for food. Maybe they became trapped by glaciers and couldn’t leave. Whatever the reason, the bears never should have survived.
But they did. They got used to their new environment. Their bodies changed. Their behavior changed, too. Eventually, the bears developed into an entirely new species: the polar bear. You can see some of the characteristics that polar bears developed to survive.
Sadly, these characteristics may now threaten the polar bear’s survival. As sea ice melts due to global warming, polar bears are frequently forced to come ashore. They are poor hunters on land, which means they often go a long time between meals. The polar bear, king of the Arctic, is now classified as a threatened species.
Although the future of the polar bear is unknown the tale of two bears continues. As temperatures rise, grizzly bears have been spotted moving north into polar bear territory. These long -lost cousins, once forced apart by nature, are coming back together again.
12. What can be inferred about the white bear mentioned in the first four paragraphs
A It is noisy. B. It is smelly.
C. It is starving. D. It has good eyesight.
13. What do we know about polar bears’ ancestors
A. They were a darker- colored species.
B. They were born to live in ice and snow.
C. They had no trouble getting used to the icy north.
D. They came to the Arctic Ocean about 1,000 years ago.
14. Why are polar bears struggling to survive
A. They are losing their hunting ground.
B. They are threatened by other animals.
C. They are spending little time on land.
D. They have difficulty reaching the shore.
15. Which of the following can be the best title for the text
A. The climate change
B. The polar bear’s favorite meal
C. The dark past of the polar bear
D. The mysteries of the Arctic Ocean
