Ⅰ.阅读理解
Why does social media cause feelings of loneliness and lack of confidence Because instead of being real life, it is impression management, a way of marketing yourself, carefully choosing and filtering(过滤) the picture and words to put your best face forward.
Online “friends” made through social media do not follow the normal psychological progression of friendship. You share neither physical time nor emotional conversations over the Internet. You simply communicate photographs and catchy postings to a diverse group of people whom you have “friended” or “followed” based on an accidental interaction. This is not to say that your social media friends can't be real friends. They absolutely can, but the two are not the same. Generally speaking, there are no unfiltered or casually taken photos on our social media pages because it wouldn't feel safe to be completely authentic(真实的) and vulnerable(易受伤害的) with some of our “friends” whom we don't actually know or with whom trust has yet to be built.
Social media can certainly be an escape from the daily routines, but we must be cautious about the negative effects on a person's overall psychological welfare.
As humans, we are eager for social connections. Scrolling(滚动) through pages of pictures and comments, however, does not provide the same degree of fulfillment as face-to-face interactions do. Also, we tend to idealize others' lives and compare our downfall to their greatest accomplishments, ending in feelings of loneliness and lack of confidence.
Social media can lead to unhealthy pursuit of perfection. Some people begin to attend certain events or travel to different places so that they can snap that “perfect” photo. However, pictures and postings should be byproducts of life's treasured moments and fun times, not the planned and calculated image that one is putting out into cyberspace in an attempt to fill insecurity or unmet needs.
Ultimately, social media has increased our ability to connect with various types of people all over the globe. It has opened doors for business and allowed us to stay connected to people whom we may not otherwise get to follow. However, social media should feel like a fun experience, not one that contributes to negative thoughts and feelings. If the latter is the case, increasing face-to-face time with trusted friends and minimizing time scrolling online will prove to be a reminder that your real social network is much more rewarding than any “like”, “follow” or “share” can be.

Ⅱ.读后续写
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。
Asad was a 13-year-old boy who was very honest and hardworking. Recently, he had entered a new school, so he had no friends yet. On Monday morning, he was nearly late for school. The night before, his family attended his cousin's wedding and reached home late, which was why he couldn't get up on time as usual.
At school, Asad could not pay attention to anything and wanted the bell to ring so that he could buy something to eat. After a few hours, when the bell rang, Asad quickly opened his schoolbag to find his money, but just then he remembered that he had left for school in a hurry in the morning and forgotten to take money. He looked under his books, hoping to find some money but there was nothing.
Not knowing what to do, he walked out of the classroom and sat on a bench in front of the canteen. He saw a few of his classmates there, and among them was Fahad. He was one of the richest kids in his class, but he was a very arrogant boy who thought everyone else was a loser. But as Asad was new, he didn't know much about Fahad.
When he went towards Fahad and asked if he could borrow some money for his lunch, Fahad laughed a lot and said, “I know you are a loser, maybe a beggar ” Fahad laughed out so loud that other kids also heard and made fun of the situation. He didn't answer Fahad, and slowly walked towards an empty bench.
When he reached the bench, he noticed something lying near it. It was a wallet. He picked it up and recognized that it was Fahad's, as he remembered Fahad showing it to his friends and telling that his uncle bought it for him from the UK. There was quite a lot of money inside for a kid.
注意:续写词数应为150个左右。
At first, Asad wanted to keep it a secret and punished Fahad.
Then Fahad said,“Why are you giving it back ”

4.名词;外表 句意:我们发现,仅仅从外表来判断你吃的东西是不明智的。
Ⅲ.1.frightening 考查形容词。设空处前面是系动词is且主句主语是It,指物,所以用-ing结尾的形容词作表语。故填frightening。句意:想到此事可能再次发生就使人不寒而栗。

9.beautiful 考查形容词。设空处前面是系动词was,设空处与形容词professional并列作表语,所以也用形容词。故填beautiful。句意:音乐会结束后,内奥米告诉家人,史蒂夫的音乐优美而专业。

Ⅰ.◎语篇解读 本文是一篇说明文。文章讲述社交媒体扩大了我们的人际关系范围,但会使我们有孤独感和不自信。我们应该加强与现实生活中的朋友的联系。
1.B 推理判断题。根据第一段第一句可知,社交媒体会让人感到孤独和缺乏自信,根据第二段最后一句可知,完全真实和脆弱会让人感到不安全。 因此可推知,社交媒体可能会让我们感到孤立和不安全。故选B。
2.C 推理判断题。根据第二段最后一句可推知,人们在社交媒体上有选择性地发布照片,是因为他们并不认为所有的网友都值得信赖。故选C。
3.D 细节理解题。根据第四段最后一句可知,人们往往会把别人的生活理想化。故选D。
4.B 细节理解题。根据最后一段第三、四句可知,当社交媒体让人产生了消极的感受时,作者建议人们加强与现实生活中的朋友而不是网上朋友的联系。故选B。

长难句
原句 If the latter is the case, increasing face-to-face time with trusted friends and minimizing time scrolling online will prove to be a reminder that your real social network is much more rewarding than any “like”, “follow” or “share” can be.
分析 本句为主从复合句。If引导条件状语从句, “increasing face-to-face...online”是and连接的两个动名词短语作主语,that引导同位语从句,说明reminder的具体内容,从句中than引导比较状语从句。
译文 如果是后者,增加与值得信赖的朋友的面对面的时间和尽量减少在线滚动的时间,这将是一个提醒,你真正的社交网络比任何“点赞”“关注”或“分享”都有益得多。

①阿萨德的想法经历了什么样的变化 ②法赫德发现钱包不见后有何反应
Para. 2 Then Fahad said, “Why are you giving it back ”
①阿萨德是如何回答的 ②最终法赫德做出了怎样的决定
One possible version:
At first, Asad wanted to keep it a secret and punished Fahad. But it was not easy. He felt the heat in his body rising, and his cheeks blushing. Throwing a glance at Fahad, who was chatting happily, cocking his head high, Asad suddenly felt a bit sorry for the embarrassment he was going to face. Just at the moment Fahad gasped and cried in alarm, “Oh hell, where is my wallet ” Some gossip began. Asad heard gloating words. Overwhelmed by guilt, Asad quickly picked up the wallet and strode to Fahad, “I found it over there, and I think it is yours.” Seeing the dumbfounded face of Fahad, he added, “I thought of sneaking it, of course.” Recalling what he had done to Asad, Fahad suddenly hesitated to take the wallet.
Then Fahad said,“Why are you giving it back ” What replied him was a sigh, “Because it belongs to you.” After confession, the air seemed still and it became weird that no one uttered a single word. Just at this moment, Asad's stomach seemed to be the first to break the awkwardness by growling loud. To his astonishment, the arrogant boy, Fahad, reached out his hand, stuttering, “W...What about having lunch together ” Before Asad could say anything, Fahad quickly added, “Of course, my treat.” It was on that very day that Asad made his first friend in the new school, and he truly realized the value of sincerity and honesty in a relationship.
