【文章大意】 本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了社交媒体 Instagram 限制点赞的举措并分析了青少年频繁看社交媒体的原因,呈现了社交媒体的一些不良影响。
1. C 细节理解题。根据文章第一段第一句话“The social media platform Instagram once made the headlines for limiting likes in an effort to reduce the comparisons and hurt feelings resulting from attaching popularity to sharing content.”可知,Instagram 限制点赞的目的在于减少攀比,减少感情受到伤害的可能性;再根据文章第二段“Social media has a reinforcing nature. The platforms are designed to be addictive and are related to anxiety, depression, and even physical illnesses. But what makes users come back for more even when it can literally make them feel sick ”可知,社交媒体与焦虑、抑郁甚至身体疾病的产生息息相关,同时文章的谈论对象为青少年。因此,Instagram 此举有助于青少年健康地使用社交媒体以确保其身心健康。故选C。
2. A 推理判断题。根据第六段“We can benefit from social platforms to some extent, as they allow people to stay in touch with family and friends around the world. Still, the platforms have opened a ‘Pandora’s box’ as they continue to evolve more quickly than we can research their impact.”前后两个句子的逻辑关系可知,社交媒体既有利也有弊。所以“潘多拉的盒子”意味着社交媒体可能是一把双刃剑。故选A。
3. B 细节理解题。根据第三段 “When the outcome is unpredictable, the behaviour is more likely to repeat.”可知, 当结果不可预测时,人们越有可能重复这种行为——频繁看社交媒体。故选B。
4. A 推理判断题。根据最后一段 Sperling 建议减少大量分享以及本段最后一句话“Regardless of how likely social media giants are to change their ways, though, individuals can take control of their own behaviour.”可知,接下来作者有可能会谈论关于个人如何减少大量分享的建议。故选A。
B
【文章大意】 本文是说明文。文章主要介绍了电子媒体和儿童的学习成绩之间的联系。
5. D 细节理解题。根据第一段“Previous studies of children have found links between use of electronic media and physical health risks. Electronic media use is also associated with social connection. However, comparatively less is known about links with academic performance.”和第二段“To help clarify these links…”可知,Mundy和同事的研究主要是要弄明白电子媒体和儿童的学习成绩之间的联系。故选D。
6. C 推理判断题。根据第三段“The analysis showed no links between use of video games and academic performance.”可知,玩电子游戏的孩子在学业上可以表现得和以前一样好。故选C。
7. A 推理判断题。根据最后一段“The debate about the effects of modern media on children’s learning has never been more important given the effects of today’s COVID-19 on children. This is the first large study of electronic media use and learning in primary school children, and results showed heavier users of television and computers had significant declines in reading two years later compared with light users.”可知,现代媒体对儿童学习的影响成为热点问题的原因在于公共卫生的挑战。故选A。
8. D 推理判断题。根据第二段“They used national achievement test data to measure the children’s academic performance at baseline and again after two years. They also asked the children’s parents to report on their kids’ use of electronic media.”可知,研究者们是通过对比孩子们前后的学习成绩得出的结果。故选D。Period Five Grammar
人称代词it
1. it的基本用法
指天气、季节、时间、距离、环境等。如:
It is early spring, but it is already hot.
现在是初春,但是天气已经很热了。
It was nearly midnight when he came back.
他回来时几乎已经是半夜了。
It is half an hour’s walk to the city centre from my home.
从我家到市中心有半个小时的步行路程。
2. it作形式主语
it作形式主语时没有具体的意义,只是帮助把真正的主语移到句子后部去,使句子显得平衡一些。it作形式主语时,可以代替三种形式:不定式、动名词和主语从句。
(1)it代替不定式短语,常用于下列句型中:
It+be+形容词+(for/of sb) to do sth.
It+be+名词+to do sth.如:
It is essential for us to equip ourselves with common sense and basic skills.
我们掌握常识和基本技能是很有必要的。
It is considerate of you to offer us timely and generous help.
你能为我们提供及时且慷慨的帮助真是太体贴了。
It is our duty not to cooperate with evil, just like we must cooperate with justice.
不与邪恶合作是我们的义务,就如同我们必须要与正义合作一样。
[注] “It be+形容词+for sb to do sth.”与“It be+形容词+of sb to do sth.”:如果句型中的形容词描述的是sb的品质、品格,在逻辑上可以作sb的表语,则sb前应用介词of,否则就用for。
(2)it代替动名词短语。
动名词短语作主语用后置形式的情况较少,常见于no good, no use, waste等的后面。如:
It is no use discussing it with them, for they only care for their own interests.
和他们讨论这个是没有用的,因为他们只关心他们自己的利益。
It is a waste of time playing with mobile phone games without limits.
没有节制地玩手机游戏是浪费时间。
(3)it代替主语从句。该主语从句可以用连接词that引导,也可以用连接代词或连接副词引导。如:
It is possible that the symptoms will not finally go until your nervous system is in a better state.
可能这些症状最终不会消失,直到你的神经系统处于较好的状态。
It is doubtful whether she will accept our offer and sign the contract.
她能否接受我们的报价并签署合同还很难说。
It is a mystery to me how the earth came into being.
地球是如何形成的对于我来说是一个谜。
[注] it作形式主语,把真正的主语从句移至后面的常见句型有:
It +be +名词(如: a pity/a shame/a fact/an honour/good news/no wonder/a wonder…)+that…
It +be+形容词(如:strange/natural/surprising/obvious/true/fortunate/wonderful/funny/possible/impossible/likely/unlikely/clear/unusual/certain/important…)+that…
It seems/happens/turns out/suddenly strikes me/occurs to me…that…
It+be+过去分词(如:said/reported/announced/decided/expected/hoped/known/believed…)+that…
3. it作形式宾语
当复合宾语中的宾语是动词不定式、动词-ing形式短语、宾语从句时,为避免“头重脚轻”,往往把宾语放在宾语补足语的后面,而把it放在动词和宾语补足语之间。放在宾语补足语后面的宾语是真正的宾语,放在动词和宾语补足语中间的it为形式宾语。
(1)it代替不定式短语。如:
I don’t think it possible to master a foreign language without much memory work.
我认为不进行大量的记忆工作,学好一门外语是不可能的。
(2)it代替动词-ing短语。如:
I think it no good holding an opposing idea but never communicating.
我认为持有截然不同的观点却从不沟通是没有什么好处的。
(3)it代替从句。如:
The new mayor wants to make it known to the public that they will build a stronger and cleaner city.
新的市长想要公众知道他们要建设一个更强大且更整洁的城市。
(4)it的特殊用法常出现在以下几种结构中。如:
A. 动词+it+when/if 从句。常见于appreciate, enjoy, like, dislike, love, hate, prefer等少数动词之后。如:
We would much appreciate it if you could do us that favour.
如果你能帮我们那个忙,我们将不胜感激。
B. 动词+it+that从句。常见于like, take, have, put等少数动词之后。如:
I take it that the two sides should negotiate towards reaching an agreement.
我认为双方应该朝着达成协议的方向磋商。
C. 动词+it+介词短语+that从句。常见于bring it to one’s attention, owe it to sb, take it for granted 等结构中。如:
Don’t take it for granted that they can help you out whenever you are in trouble.
不要想当然地认为只要你有麻烦,他们就能来帮助你。
D. 动词+介词(短语)+it+that从句。常见于answer for, depend on, rely on, insist on, look to, see to, stick to 等结构中。如:
I’ll see to it that all preparations have been made.
我会确保一切准备工作完成。
You may depend on it that Tom will help you with your English.
你可以相信汤姆会帮助你学英语。
E. 动词+it+过去分词+从句。常见于几个可以带过去分词作宾语补足语的动词之后。如:
He made it known to his parents that he had grown up and could look after himself.
他让父母知道他已经长大了,可以照顾自己了。
used to和would
1. 共同点
(1)would和used to都可用来表示过去经常性或习惯性的动作,常常可以换用。如:
When we were boys, we used to/would go for an outing every spring.
小时候,每到春天我们都去郊游。
(2)would和used to都不能用来表示动作发生的具体频度或具体的时长。
2. 不同点
(1)used to表示“过去常常”,暗含“现在不再……了”的意思,强调今昔对比。would只表示过去的情况,与现在无关,只表示说话人对过去事实的回顾和陈述,不含有“过去如此,现在不再这样”的意味。
(2)would表示反复发生的动作。如果某一动作没有反复就不能用would,只能用used to。如:
He was so busy that he would work into the night.
他过去很忙,以至于总是工作到深夜。(具有反复性)
I used to live in a flat.
我过去住在一套公寓里。(没有反复性)
(3)used to还可与be动词连用,表示过去的状态,而would则不可以。
(4)used to本身就指过去的习惯性动作或状态,所以通常不与often,frequently,sometimes等连用;而would则往往带有这些状语。如:
He would sometimes sit alone,deep in thought.
过去,他有时候独自坐着,陷入沉思。

The social media platform Instagram once made the headlines for limiting likes in an effort to reduce the comparisons and hurt feelings resulting from attaching popularity to sharing content. A small step in the right direction, says Jacqueline Sperling, a psychologist who works with youths that experience anxiety disorders.
Social media has a reinforcing nature. The platforms are designed to be addictive and are related to anxiety, depression, and even physical illnesses. But what makes users come back for more even when it can literally make them feel sick
“The unknown outcome and the possibility of a desired outcome can keep users engaged with the sites,” Sperling says. “When the outcome is unpredictable, the behaviour is more likely to repeat.” To boost self-esteem and feel a sense of belonging in their social circles, people post content in the hope of receiving positive feedback. FOMO—fear of missing out—also plays a role. Teenagers hope to keep track of friends’ activities. Missing experiences can create anxiety and depression.
The earlier teens start using social media, the greater impact they have on mental health. This is especially true for females. While teen males tend to express aggression physically, females do so by excluding others and sharing hurtful comments. Social media increases the opportunity for such harmful interactions.
In addition, social media puts a lens filter (滤镜) on appearances and reality. When there’s a filter applied to the digital world, it can be hard for teens to tell what’s real and what isn’t, which comes at a tough time for them physically and emotionally.
We can benefit from social platforms to some extent, as they allow people to stay in touch with family and friends around the world. Still, the platforms have opened a “Pandora’s box” as they continue to evolve more quickly than we can research their impact.
In addition to limiting likes, Sperling suggests social platforms consider decreasing mass sharing. Regardless of how likely social media giants are to change their ways, though, individuals can take control of their own behaviour.
( )1. Why does Instagram limit likes
A. To share more contents.
B. To increase its popularity.
C. To ensure teens’ well-being.
D. To reduce teens’ online time.
( )2. What does “Pandora’s box” in Paragraph 6 imply

B. People benefit from social platforms.
C. People get boxes of gifts from social platforms.
D. Social media opens a door for people to see the world.
( )3. Which of the following does Sperling agree with
A. Its lens helps teens to tell the real world.
B. Its unpredictable outcome attracts frequent visits.
C. It is helpful to teens with anxiety and depression.
D. It has a greater impact on female teens than male teens.
( )4. What will the author most probably talk about next
A. Advice on users’ controlling mass sharing.
B. Reasons for teens’ posting addictions.
C. Negative effects of harmful interactions.
D. Ways of social media giants’ management.

Previous studies of children have found links between use of electronic media and physical health risks. Electronic media use is also associated with social connection. However, comparatively less is known about links with academic performance.
To help clarify these links, Mundy and colleagues studied 1,239 8-to 9-year olds in Melbourne, Australia. They used national achievement test data to measure the children’s academic performance at baseline and again after two years. They also asked the children’s parents to report on their kids’ use of electronic media.
The researchers found that watching two or more hours of television per day at the age of 8 or 9 was associated with lower reading performance compared to peers two years later; the difference was equal to losing four months of learning. Using a computer for more than one hour per day was linked to a similar degree of lost numeracy(计算能力). The analysis showed no links between use of video games and academic performance.
By accounting for baseline academic performance and potentially influencing factors such as mental health difficulties and body mass index (BMI)and controlling for prior media use, the researchers were able to identify television and computer use was associated with poorer academic performance.
These findings could help parents and teachers better plans and clinical recommendations for electronic media use in late childhood. Future research could build on these results by examining continued associations in secondary school.
The authors add: “The debate about the effects of modern media on children’s learning has never been more important given the effects of today’s COVID-19 on children. This is the first large study of electronic media use and learning in primary school children, and results showed heavier users of television and computers had significant declines in reading two years later compared with light users.”
( )5. What is Mundy’s study mainly about
A. Electronic media.
B. Acquisition approaches.
C. Kids’ health.
D. Academic performance.
( )6. Which of the following statements may the author agree with
A. Previous studies are inaccurate and unreliable.
B. Kids’ capacity to read declines when they apply e-books.
C. Kids playing video games can perform as well as before academically.
D. Watching TV will have a negative impact on kids merely within two years.
( )7. What makes the effects of modern media on children’s learning a hot issue
A. Challenges from public health.
B. Clinical recommendations on leisure.
C. Parents’ concern about future.
D. Tight schedules at schools.
( )8. How did the researchers make the new discovery
A. By inferring from previous studies.
B. By referring to the national achievement test data.
C. By analysing children’s mental health difficulties.
D. By comparing academic performances before and after.(共22张PPT)

much memory work.

用used to。如：

我过去住在一套公寓里。(没有反复性)
(3)used to还可与be动词连用,表示过去的状态,而would则不可以。
