My eleven-year-old son reads a lot, but for the past year he’s only been reading comics or graphic (图解的) novels. In my view, these are the books made up, mainly, of cartoons and speech bubbles and are lacking in full pages of text. As a PhD in classical literature, I turn my nose up at my son’s comics, considering them just picture books.
My son has argued well for his cause. His claim is that comics are literature or close enough and they do contain many of the basic elements of any novel: plot, backstory, dialogue and etc. But my view is that language is unique. The complicated details of plot, emotion, and inner thought that words alone can convey are surely lost when graphics take their place. And if the pictures are already there for you, what work is left to the imagination
According to the view of some experts on parenting, we should encourage our kids to love books in all shapes and forms, without limiting the type of books they should love. I see their point, but I also worry that laziness might be playing a role here and that’s a motivation I’m less happy to ics are simply easier to read than other kinds of books; they demand less attention and my suspicion is that they become appealing for that very reason. While this is a fine way to help early or reluctant (不情愿的) readers get into better habits of reading, I’m not so sure the same is true for older kids. In an age of instant satisfaction from fragmentation (碎片化) reading, we are all losing the ability to focus on longer texts, and that’s worrisome.
My son is in his academic and emotional development. I want him to be reading things that will challenge him and force him to think deeply and critically, which will help him improve. Isn’t this what reading is for Do his comic books have such power
4. What is the author’s attitude toward comics according to paragraph 1
A. Dismissive B. Approving C. Unclear D. Objective
5. Why does the author think graphics cannot take the place of language
A. Plot can only be expressed by language.
B. All the details cannot be conveyed by graphics.
C. Language can show the basic storyline more clearly.
D. Graphics fail to develop children’s interest in reading.
6. What do we know about the author’s son
A. He likes reading books with full pages of text.
B. He thinks comics give much space for imagination.
C. He believes comics share many similarities with novels.
D. He claims comics are easier to read than other kinds of books.
7. What is the author’s purpose in writing the text
A. To advise kids to get rid of reading comics.
B. To show the significance of reading for children.
C. To share her worry about her son’s choice of reading.
D. To compare the differences between comics and novels.
【答案】4. A 5. B 6. C 7. C
【解析】

Smart technology is helping doctors provide better service in the medical field. At the 2023 World Internet Conference Wuzhen Summit, Xia Bangbo, a doctor from Sir Run Run Shaw Hospital, showed a 5G+AR remote emergency medical services system.
With this system, doctors at grassroots(基层的) levels can wear portable AR devices to immediately connect with higher-level medical experts for communication, receiving advanced medical guidance. “In medical work, especially in emergencies, what doctors need most is rapid decision making, which doctors at grassroots levels currently lack in terms of response speed,” said Hong Yucai, director of the emergency department of the hospital. He expressed that this 5G+AR system, using a communication system based on 5G and AR technology for audio and video interactions, rapidly connects grassroots and higher-level doctors.
This 5G+AR system also uses artificial intelligence (AI). Even if a ship carrying it on the sea loses network connection and no doctors are present, the AI doctor in the system will provide real-time guidance to those around. Since its trial run at the beginning of 2022, this smart system has covered more than 40 county-level hospitals and community health service centers in seven counties in Zhejiang.
Another way AI is being used in medical service is to collect and study data from smartwatches and wearables. China’s company Zepp Health recently launched several AI-powered products to go with its existing smart wearables. Zepp Aura, for instance, is a new software service that offers users tailored guidance, sleep analysis, as well as AI-generated sleep music which adjusts in real time based on the user’s heart rate.
With the development of AI, big data, and other innovative tools, smart technology in healthcare will certainly be changing the game in more ways.
8. What problem does the 5G+AR system solve
A. The slow reaction of grassroots doctors to medical cases.
B. The poor medical equipment in remote areas.
C. The lack of communication between grassroots doctors.
D. The inexperience of young doctors.
9. What can the 5G+AR system do
A. Improve medical level of hospitals in cities.
B. Collect data from users’ smartwatches.
C. Guide ordinary people to handle medical emergencies.
D. Provide audio and video materials for higher-level doctors.
10. Which of the following can best describe Zepp Aura
A. Multi-functional. B. Cost-effective.
C. Groundbreaking. D. Lifelike.
11. What can be a suitable title for the text
A. Smart Technology Betters the World.
B. AI’s Development Promotes People’s Health.
C. Smart Technology Improves Medical Service.
D. Medical Field Is Changed Completely by AI.
【答案】8. A 9. C 10. A 11. C
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。主要介绍了5G和人工智能在医疗服务系统方面的应用及其优势。
【8题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段内容“With this system, doctors at grassroots levels can wear portable AR devices to immediately connect with higher-level medical experts for communication, receiving advanced medical guidance.“In medical work, especially in emergencies, what doctors need most is rapid decision making, which doctors at grassroots levels currently lack in terms of response speed,” said Hong Yucai, director of the emergency department of the hospital. He expressed that this 5G+AR system, using a communication system based on 5G and AR technology for audio and video interactions, rapidly connects grassroots and higher-level doctors.”(通过该系统,基层医生可以佩戴便携式AR设备,立即与更高级别的医疗专家进行通信,接受先进的医疗指导。“在医疗工作中,特别是在紧急情况下,医生最需要的是快速决策,这是基层医生目前在反应速度方面所缺乏的,”医院急诊科主任洪玉才说。他表示,这个5G+AR系统,利用基于5G和AR技术的通信系统进行音视频交互,快速连接基层和上级医生。)可知,基层医生在紧急医疗案件上的反应速度不够敏锐,利用该系统,基层医生可以快速与更高级别的医疗专家进行通信,接受先进的医疗指导,从而做出快速决策,故推知该系统可以解决基层医生对医疗案件反应迟缓的问题。故选A项。
【9题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段前两句“This 5G+AR system also uses artificial intelligence (AI). Even if a ship carrying it on the sea loses network connection and no doctors are present, the AI doctor in the system will provide real-time guidance to those around.”(这款5G+AR系统也使用了人工智能。即使搭载它的海上船只失去网络连接,没有医生在场,系统中的人工智能医生也会为周围的人提供实时指导。)可知,5G+AR系统搭载了人工智能医生,在没有医生在场的情况下,也可以指导周围的人处理医疗突发事件。故选C项。
【10题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段最后一句“Zepp Aura, for instance, is a new software service that offers users tailored guidance, sleep analysis, as well as AI-generated sleep music which adjusts in real time based on the user’s heart rate.”(例如,Zepp Aura是一项新的软件服务,可以为用户提供量身定制的指导、睡眠分析以及人工智能生成的睡眠音乐,该音乐可以根据用户的心率进行实时调整。)可知,该软件可以为客户提供多功能的用途。故选A项。
【11题详解】

In parts of Africa, people communicate with a wild bird called honeyguide in order to locate bee habitats and harvest their stores of honey. It’s a rare example of cooperation between humans and wild animals, and a potential instance of cultural coevolution (共同进化). Brian Wood from UCLA and Claire Spottiswoode from University of Cape Town were leading authors on a study showing how this valuable partnership is maintained and varies across cultures.
“Our study demonstrates the bird’s ability to learn distinct voiced signals that are traditionally used by different honey-hunting communities, expanding possibilities for mutually (相互的) beneficial cooperation with people,” Wood said. “Honeyguides seem to know the landscape well, gathering knowledge about the location of bee nests, which they then share with people,” Spottiswoode said. “People are eager for the bird’s help.” The honeyguides also benefit from locating the colonies: They eat the leftover honeycomb.
Spottiswoode and Wood’s study was done in cooperation with the Hadza in Tanzania and the Yao community of northern Mozambique. Their prior work in both communities documented differences in how the two cultures enchant honeyguides. Among the Hadza, a honey-hunter announces a desire to partner with the bird by whistling. In Mozambique, Yao honey-hunters do so with a “Brr! …” followed by a “… hmm!”
Using mathematical models and audio playback experiments the team studied these signals, their usefulness to people and their impacts on birds. They experimentally exposed honeyguides in Tanzania and Mozambique to the same set of prerecorded sounds. This enabled the researchers to test whether honeyguides had learned to recognize and prefer the specialized signals that local honey-hunters used, or were naturally attracted to all such signals.
The honeyguides in Tanzania were over three times more likely to cooperate when hearing the calls of local Hadza people than the calls of “foreign” Yao. The honeyguides in Mozambique were almost twice as likely to cooperate when hearing the local Yao call, compared to the “foreign” Hadza whistles.
12. What do honeyguides gain by cooperating with honey-hunters
A Their nests can be better sheltered.
B. They can have access to more food.
C. They can locate bee habitats more easily.
D. They will be more familiar with the landscape.
13. What does the underlined word “enchant” in paragraph 3 mean
A. Shape. B. Guide. C. Investigate. D. Attract.
14. Why did the researchers use the same prerecorded sounds
A. To prove the their usefulness to human beings.
B. To help honeyguides learn and recognize them.
C. To see if they make honeyguides more eager to share.
D. To check if the preference to them is born or acquired.
15. What can we learn from Spottiswoode and Wood’s study
A. The honeyguides benefit more from the human-bird relationship.
B. The honeyguides are more responsive to calls from the local people.
C. The signals from the Yao were more effective in attracting honeyguides.
D. The ways to maintain this human-bird partnership are quite complicated.
【答案】12. B 13. D 14. D 15. B
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了一项针对非洲部分地区蜜 和采蜜人之间合作的研究,该研究展示了这种宝贵的伙伴关系是如何在不同文化中维持和变化的。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中“The honeyguides also benefit from locating the colonies: They eat the leftover honeycomb. (蜜 也从定位蜂群中获益:它们吃剩下的蜂巢)”可知,通过与采蜜人合作,蜜 可以获得更多的食物。故选B项。
【13题详解】
词句猜测题。根据画线词的下文“Among the Hadza, a honey-hunter announces a desire to partner with the bird by whistling. In Mozambique, Yao honey-hunters do so with a “Brr! …” followed by a “… hmm!” (在哈扎人中,一个采蜜人通过吹口哨表示他想和这只鸟搭档。在莫桑比克,瑶族采蜜人会发出“……Brr!”声,后面跟着一个“……hmm!”声)”可知,此处介绍哈扎采蜜人和瑶族采蜜人用不同的声音向蜜 传达想合作的信息。由此推知,他们之前对这两个群落的研究记录的是两种文化如何“吸引”蜜 的差异,画线词意思应该是“吸引,引来”,与attract意思相近。故选D项。
【14题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段中“This enabled the researchers to test whether honeyguides had learned to recognize and prefer the specialized signals that local honey-hunters used, or were naturally attracted to all such signals. (这使研究人员能够测试蜜 是学会了识别并偏爱当地采蜜人使用的特殊信号,还是天生就被所有这些信号所吸引)”可知,研究人员用同样的预先录制好的声音进行实验,是为了检验蜜 对这些信号的偏好是天生的还是后天获得的。故选D项。
【15题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“The honeyguides in Tanzania were over three times more likely to cooperate when hearing the calls of local Hadza people than the calls of “foreign” Yao. The honeyguides in Mozambique were almost twice as likely to cooperate when hearing the local Yao call, compared to the “foreign” Hadza whistles. (坦桑尼亚的蜜 在听到当地哈扎族人的叫声时,配合的可能性是听到“陌生的”瑶族叫声的三倍多。莫桑比克的蜜 在听到当地瑶族的叫声时,与听到“陌生的”哈扎族的哨声相比,配合的可能性几乎是前者的两倍)”可知,研究显示,当地的蜜 听到当地人发出的信号声时,配合的可能性都更高。由此可知,蜜 对当地人的呼唤更有反应。故选B项。
第二节(共5小题;每小题2.5分,满分12.5分)
阅读下面短文, 从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
The Power of “Like”
Like it or love it, social media is a major part of life. Teens spend more than half of their waking hours online. And most of what they do is read and respond to posts by friends and family. Clicking on a thumbs-up is an easy way to stay in touch. ____16____
Clicking “like” on a post can increase the number of people who see it. If other people have liked a post, new viewers will be more likely to like it too. ____17____ As a result, that popularity can feed on itself.
What’s more, viewing one’s own posts with a lot of likes activates the reward system in their brains. Positive responses to teens’ own photos (in the form of many “likes”) tell them that their friends appreciate the material they’re posting. ____18____ Seeing someone else’s popular photo, however, doesn’t necessarily turn it on.
____19____ In one 2011 study, teens doing driving task in a lab took more risks when their friends were around, which suggested that teens were changing their behavior to try to get social approval. And they make similar changes when using social media according to a research conducted last year. The research showed that popular photos might signal to teens that what’s in those photos is socially acceptable. For example, images related to alcohol may encourage teens to drink. That means that what you like online has the power to influence not just what others like, but even what they do.
Joining social media can give people a sense of being in the know. However, posts may exaggerate (夸张) how well our friends and others are feeling, making them appear much happier than we are. ____20____
A. It can also lower the viewer’s self-control.
B. Teens use it to learn how to handle their social world.
C. Many social media sites share more of the higher-ranked posts.
D. It’s no surprise that responses from peers affect how teens behave.
E. Their brains respond to those “likes” by turning on the reward center.
F. And that can, inappropriately, make us feel less successful than them.
G. But those “likes” can have power that goes beyond a simple connection.
【答案】16. G 17. C 18. E 19. D 20. F
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了点赞对青少年产生的影响。
【16题详解】
上文“Clicking on a thumbs-up is an easy way to stay in touch.(点赞是保持联系的一种简单方式)”说明点赞是一种比较简单的保持联系方式,G项“但这些“赞”的力量可以超越简单的联系”与其紧密衔接,“a simple connection”与“an easy way to stay in touch”相呼应,并引出文章的主题,符合语境。故选G。
【17题详解】
根据上文“Clicking “like” on a post can increase the number of people who see it. If other people have liked a post, new viewers will be more likely to like it too.(在帖子上点击“喜欢”可以增加看到它的人数。如果其他人点赞了一个帖子,新观众也更有可能点赞)”以及后文“As a result, that popularity can feed on itself.(因此,这种受欢迎程度可以靠自己来维持)”可知,本句是在说明点赞多的帖子对后文受欢迎程度之间的关系,故C选项“许多社交媒体网站分享更多排名较高的帖子”符合语境,故选C。
【18题详解】
上文“What’s more, viewing one’s own posts with a lot of likes activates the reward system in their brains. Positive responses to teens’ own photos (in the form of many “likes”) tell them that their friends appreciate the material they’re posting.(更重要的是,看到自己的帖子有很多点赞,会激活他们大脑中的奖励系统。对青少年自己照片的积极回应(以许多赞的形式)告诉他们,他们的朋友很欣赏他们发布的材料)”提到青少年看到自己的帖子被点赞会激活他们大脑的奖励系统,E项“他们的大脑通过打开奖励中心来对这些赞做出反应”承接上文,符合语境。故选E。
【19题详解】
下文“In one 2011 study, teens doing driving task in a lab took more risks when their friends were around, which suggested that teens were changing their behavior to try to get social approval.(在2011年一项研究中,青少年在实验室里做驾驶任务时,当他们的朋友在身边时,他们冒了更多的风险,这表明青少年正在改变他们的行为,试图获得社会的认可)”说明青少年有朋友在身边时,他们会改变自己的行为,D项“毫不奇怪,来自同龄人的反馈会影响青少年的行为”与举例说明的内容吻合,符合语境。故选D。
【20题详解】
根据空前的“But posts may exaggerate (夸大) how well our friends and others are feeling, making them appear much happier than we are.(但是帖子可能会夸大我们的朋友和其他人的感觉,使他们看起来比我们快乐得多)”可知,帖子可能会使得他们看起来比我们更快乐,F选项“And that can, inappropriately, make us feel less successful than them.(这可能会不恰当地让我们觉得自己不如他们成功)”中描述的内容与空前内容相对应,且其中的代词them以及us空前内容指代一致。故选F。

“Bang. . !” Sara pushed the door open. She threw her school bag onto the floor and called out, “I’m home!” No answer. The house was silent. It sounded empty, but she knew it wasn’t. Her mum and dad were working upstairs.
Sara got a glass of orange juice, went into the conservatory (玻璃房) and sat down in her favourite chair. The garden was still in the dark afternoon. On one side, her mum’s garden was neat and tidy with boring short grass, boring straight flowerbeds and boring straight paths. But on the other side, Sara’s Nature Garden looked wild and exciting with big dead sunflowers and tall grasses.
“Nobody is interested in me. Mum and dad only think about their work,” she thought sadly.
Then she recalled: One month earlier, she learned in a magazine that many dogs were abandoned because their owners got bored with them; One hour earlier, she saw a cute dog wagging its tail and licking her friend’s face.
Sara knew today was special. Today things were changing. She couldn’t wait any longer. It’s time to talk to her parents.
So Sara got up from her chair and climbed all the way to the loft (阁楼). “Mum, I want a talk.” said Sara. “Just a minute!” Her mum clicked on the keyboard, took off her glasses and turned to her daughter. Sara coughed, took a deep breath, and told her mum that she wanted a dog. “No, Sara. That’s impossible,” her mum said firmly. Sara went to her father but got the same answer. She rushed into her room angrily and slammed the door shut.
Later, Sara’s mum knocked at the door and went in. “Darling, we know this is important to you. You can have a dog if you take the responsibility. But look at your Nature Garden, your school bag, your bedroom! What a mess! Do you think you can take good care of a dog ” said her mum.

After coming back, she cleaned her room and had breakfast delightedly. After school, she went to the kennel and cleaned it .

My eleven-year-old son reads a lot, but for the past year he’s only been reading comics or graphic (图解的) novels. In my view, these are the books made up, mainly, of cartoons and speech bubbles and are lacking in full pages of text. As a PhD in classical literature, I turn my nose up at my son’s comics, considering them just picture books.
My son has argued well for his cause. His claim is that comics are literature or close enough and they do contain many of the basic elements of any novel: plot, backstory, dialogue and etc. But my view is that language is unique. The complicated details of plot, emotion, and inner thought that words alone can convey are surely lost when graphics take their place. And if the pictures are already there for you, what work is left to the imagination
According to the view of some experts on parenting, we should encourage our kids to love books in all shapes and forms, without limiting the type of books they should love. I see their point, but I also worry that laziness might be playing a role here and that’s a motivation I’m less happy to ics are simply easier to read than other kinds of books; they demand less attention and my suspicion is that they become appealing for that very reason. While this is a fine way to help early or reluctant (不情愿) readers get into better habits of reading, I’m not so sure the same is true for older kids. In an age of instant satisfaction from fragmentation (碎片化) reading, we are all losing the ability to focus on longer texts, and that’s worrisome.
My son is in his academic and emotional development. I want him to be reading things that will challenge him and force him to think deeply and critically, which will help him improve. Isn’t this what reading is for Do his comic books have such power
4. What is the author’s attitude toward comics according to paragraph 1
A. Dismissive B. Approving C. Unclear D. Objective
5. Why does the author think graphics cannot take the place of language
A. Plot can only be expressed by language.
B. All the details cannot be conveyed by graphics.
C. Language can show the basic storyline more clearly.
D. Graphics fail to develop children’s interest in reading.
6. What do we know about the author’s son
A. He likes reading books with full pages of text.
B. He thinks comics give much space for imagination.
C. He believes comics share many similarities with novels.
D He claims comics are easier to read than other kinds of books.
7. What is the author’s purpose in writing the text
A. To advise kids to get rid of reading comics.
B. To show the significance of reading for children.
C. To share her worry about her son’s choice of reading.
D. To compare the differences between comics and novels.

Smart technology is helping doctors provide better service in the medical field. At the 2023 World Internet Conference Wuzhen Summit, Xia Bangbo, a doctor from Sir Run Run Shaw Hospital, showed a 5G+AR remote emergency medical services system.
With this system, doctors at grassroots(基层的) levels can wear portable AR devices to immediately connect with higher-level medical experts for communication, receiving advanced medical guidance. “In medical work, especially in emergencies, what doctors need most is rapid decision making, which doctors at grassroots levels currently lack in terms of response speed,” said Hong Yucai, director of the emergency department of the hospital. He expressed that this 5G+AR system, using a communication system based on 5G and AR technology for audio and video interactions, rapidly connects grassroots and higher-level doctors.
This 5G+AR system also uses artificial intelligence (AI). Even if a ship carrying it on the sea loses network connection and no doctors are present, the AI doctor in the system will provide real-time guidance to those around. Since its trial run at the beginning of 2022, this smart system has covered more than 40 county-level hospitals and community health service centers in seven counties in Zhejiang.
Another way AI is being used in medical service is to collect and study data from smartwatches and wearables. China’s company Zepp Health recently launched several AI-powered products to go with its existing smart wearables. Zepp Aura, for instance, is a new software service that offers users tailored guidance, sleep analysis, as well as AI-generated sleep music which adjusts in real time based on the user’s heart rate.
With the development of AI, big data, and other innovative tools, smart technology in healthcare will certainly be changing the game in more ways.
8. What problem does the 5G+AR system solve
A. The slow reaction of grassroots doctors to medical cases.
B. The poor medical equipment in remote areas.
C. The lack of communication between grassroots doctors.
D. The inexperience of young doctors.
9. What can the 5G+AR system do
A. Improve medical level of hospitals in cities.
B. Collect data from users’ smartwatches.
C. Guide ordinary people to handle medical emergencies.
D. Provide audio and video materials for higher-level doctors.
10. Which of the following can best describe Zepp Aura
A. Multi-functional. B. Cost-effective.
C. Groundbreaking. D. Lifelike.
11. What can be a suitable title for the text
A. Smart Technology Betters the World.
B. AI’s Development Promotes People’s Health.
C. Smart Technology Improves Medical Service.
D. Medical Field Is Changed Completely by AI.

In parts of Africa, people communicate with a wild bird called honeyguide in order to locate bee habitats and harvest their stores of honey. It’s a rare example of cooperation between humans and wild animals, and a potential instance of cultural coevolution (共同进化). Brian Wood from UCLA and Claire Spottiswoode from University of Cape Town were leading authors on a study showing how this valuable partnership is maintained and varies across cultures.
“Our study demonstrates the bird’s ability to learn distinct voiced signals that are traditionally used by different honey-hunting communities, expanding possibilities for mutually (相互的) beneficial cooperation with people,” Wood said. “Honeyguides seem to know the landscape well, gathering knowledge about the location of bee nests, which they then share with people,” Spottiswoode said. “People are eager for the bird’s help.” The honeyguides also benefit from locating the colonies: They eat the leftover honeycomb.
Spottiswoode and Wood’s study was done in cooperation with the Hadza in Tanzania and the Yao community of northern Mozambique. Their prior work in both communities documented differences in how the two cultures enchant honeyguides. Among the Hadza, a honey-hunter announces a desire to partner with the bird by whistling. In Mozambique, Yao honey-hunters do so with a “Brr! …” followed by a “… hmm!”
Using mathematical models and audio playback experiments, the team studied these signals, their usefulness to people and their impacts on birds. They experimentally exposed honeyguides in Tanzania and Mozambique to the same set of prerecorded sounds. This enabled the researchers to test whether honeyguides had learned to recognize and prefer the specialized signals that local honey-hunters used, or were naturally attracted to all such signals.
The honeyguides in Tanzania were over three times more likely to cooperate when hearing the calls of local Hadza people than the calls of “foreign” Yao. The honeyguides in Mozambique were almost twice as likely to cooperate when hearing the local Yao call, compared to the “foreign” Hadza whistles.
12. What do honeyguides gain by cooperating with honey-hunters
A. Their nests can be better sheltered.
B. They can have access to more food.
C. They can locate bee habitats more easily.
D. They will be more familiar with the landscape.
13. What does the underlined word “enchant” in paragraph 3 mean
A. Shape. B. Guide. C. Investigate. D. Attract.
14. Why did the researchers use the same prerecorded sounds
A. To prove the their usefulness to human beings.
B. To help honeyguides learn and recognize them.
C. To see if they make honeyguides more eager to share.
D. To check if the preference to them is born or acquired.
15. What can we learn from Spottiswoode and Wood’s study
A. The honeyguides benefit more from the human-bird relationship.
B. The honeyguides are more responsive to calls from the local people.
C. The signals from the Yao were more effective in attracting honeyguides.
D. The ways to maintain this human-bird partnership are quite complicated.

The Power of “Like”
Like it or love it, social media is a major part of life. Teens spend more than half of their waking hours online. And most of what they do is read and respond to posts by friends and family. Clicking on a thumbs-up is an easy way to stay in touch. ____16____
Clicking “like” on a post can increase the number of people who see it. If other people have liked a post, new viewers will be more likely to like it too. ____17____ As a result, that popularity can feed on itself.
What’s more, viewing one’s own posts with a lot of likes activates the reward system in their brains. Positive responses to teens’ own photos (in the form of many “likes”) tell them that their friends appreciate the material they’re posting. ____18____ Seeing someone else’s popular photo, however, doesn’t necessarily turn it on.
____19____ In one 2011 study, teens doing driving task in a lab took more risks when their friends were around, which suggested that teens were changing their behavior to try to get social approval. And they make similar changes when using social media according to a research conducted last year. The research showed that popular photos might signal to teens that what’s in those photos is socially acceptable. For example, images related to alcohol may encourage teens to drink. That means that what you like online has the power to influence not just what others like, but even what they do.
Joining social media can give people a sense of being in the know. However, posts may exaggerate (夸张) how well our friends and others are feeling, making them appear much happier than we are. ____20____
A. It can also lower the viewer’s self-control.
B. Teens use it to learn how to handle their social world.
C. Many social media sites share more of the higher-ranked posts.
D. It’s no surprise that responses from peers affect how teens behave.
E. Their brains respond to those “likes” by turning on the reward center.
F. And that can, inappropriately, make us feel less successful than them.
G. But those “likes” can have power that goes beyond a simple connection.

47. 阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
“Bang. . !” Sara pushed the door open. She threw her school bag onto the floor and called out, “I’m home!” No answer. The house was silent. It sounded empty, but she knew it wasn’t. Her mum and dad were working upstairs.
Sara got a glass of orange juice, went into the conservatory (玻璃房) and sat down in her favourite chair. The garden was still in the dark afternoon. On one side, her mum’s garden was neat and tidy with boring short grass, boring straight flowerbeds and boring straight paths. But on the other side, Sara’s Nature Garden looked wild and exciting with big dead sunflowers and tall grasses.
“Nobody is interested in me. Mum and dad only think about their work,” she thought sadly.
Then she recalled: One month earlier, she learned in a magazine that many dogs were abandoned because their owners got bored with them; One hour earlier, she saw a cute dog wagging its tail and licking her friend’s face.
Sara knew today was special. Today things were changing. She couldn’t wait any longer. It’s time to talk to her parents.
So Sara got up from her chair and climbed all the way to the loft (阁楼). “Mum, I want a talk.” said Sara. “Just a minute!” Her mum clicked on the keyboard, took off her glasses and turned to her daughter. Sara coughed, took a deep breath, and told her mum that she wanted a dog. “No, Sara. That’s impossible,” her mum said firmly. Sara went to her father but got the same answer. She rushed into her room angrily and slammed the door shut.
Later, Sara’s mum knocked at the door and went in. “Darling, we know this is important to you. You can have a dog if you take the responsibility. But look at your Nature Garden, your school bag, your bedroom! What a mess! Do you think you can take good care of a dog ” said her mum.
注意:1. 续写词数应为150左右;
