Each of these behaviors is important, of course, but they all focus on physical health — and a growing body of research suggests that social health is just as, if not more, important to overall well-being. A recent study found that the strength of a person’s social circle — as measured by cellphone activity — was a better predictor of self-reported stress, happiness and well-being levels than fitness tracker data on physical activity, heart rate and sleep. That finding suggests that the “quantified self” presented by endless amounts of health data doesn’t tell the whole story, says study co-author Nitesh Chawla. “There’s a qualified self, which is who I am, what my activities, my social network, my lifestyle, and my enjoyment are. All of these aspects are not reflected in any of these measurements,” Chawla says.“And they are strong determinants of my well-being.” A 2019 study set out to determine what’s driving those high rates of loneliness and found that social media, when used so much that it occupied face-to-face quality time, was tied to greater loneliness. Gender and income didn’t seem to have a strong effect, but loneliness tended to decrease with age, perhaps because of the wisdom and perspective afforded by years of life lived, says Dr Stuart Lustig, one of the report’s authors. Lustig emphasizes that we should use technology “to seek out meaningful connections and people that you are able to keep in your social sphere (范圍).It’s easy enough to find groups such as Meetups, which regularly organize offline gatherings, providing members, with opportunities to interact, share, and participate in various activities in real life.Or through social media, you can find places to go where you’ll find folks doing what you want to do.” That advice is particularly important for young people, he says, for whom heavy social media use is common. Finally, Lustig stresses that even small social changes can have a large impact. Striking up post-meeting conversations with co-workers, or even engaging in micro-interactions with strangers, can make your social life feel more rewarding.28.What is the purpose of Paragraph 1?A.To show social health is ignored by some people.B.To show social people like to do workouts with others.C.To prove many people tend to follow suit to improve their health.D.To prove more and more people have benefitted from physical exercise.29.What do we learn about fitness tracker data according to Paragraph 2?A.They are out of date. B.They are not scientific.C.They can help realize the “qualified self”. D.They cannot reflect one’s overall health.30.What did the 2019 study find?A.Females felt happy more easily than males.B.Old people felt lonelier than young people.C.The overuse of social media could lead to loneliness.D.Income had a great influence on people’s well-being.31.What advice does Dr Stuart Lustig give?A.Avoiding talking to strangers.B.Using social media as little as possible.C.Using technology for meaningful face-to-face interactions.D.Spending more time with like-minded young people.D There is a decades-long rise in Americans feeling socially isolated. That may seem strange, in light of all the ways we now have to connect electronically, from email and Facebook to Instagram and TikTok. “Loneliness is strongly related to people’s health problems,” said psychologist Matt Johnson. And he pointed out: increasing loneliness also has a connection with the proliferation of social media platforms worldwide. “When this social need for interpersonal connections isn’t met in your organic social environment, the market converges upon (趨同于) this,” said Johnson. “We see the rise of social media happening around the same time as this loneliness epidemic.” Johnson said that social media platforms can sometimes mitigate (緩解) loneliness — if you’re actually getting in touch with others through them. That’s the kind of social network that Deena Hindi has been trying to build for her 84-year-old mother.Hindi’s father passed away several years ago.Her mother was left living alone next door to Hindi, with few friends.Hindi figured:“There’s got to be a lot of lonely people. So that’s why I created a Meetup group, to see if I could get people together.”A group of older women found Hindi’s Meetup group online.They now go out regularly in person. However, Johnson said,“More and more people, especially younger people, are engaging in the more follower-type of social media, where you’re engaging with people with massive followings, and you’re looking at their TikTok videos, their tweets, and their Instagram content.You don’t know them personally; you’ll probably never meet them in real life:Not really social connection.” There are ways that employers can help fight the loneliness epidemic, according to Anne Bowers, who researches the workplace, mental health, and productivity. “Workers who have a good work-life balance, social companionship, and satisfying communications at work are 53% less likely to be lonely than other employees who don’t.Creating a healthy work-life balance for employees is very important — flexible work schedules, for example, can create better balance,” he said.32.Which of the following can replace the underlined words “the proliferation of” in Paragraph 2?A.The wide range in. B.The effective use of.C.The rapid increase in. D.The growing importance of.33.Why did Hindi create the Meetup group?A.To make online friends.B.To learn about lonely people’s lives.C.To provide intelligent companionship for her mother.D.To establish real-life social connections for lonely people.34.Why did Johnson mention some popular social media platforms in Paragraph 5?A.To show how younger people behave in real life.B.To recommend some ways to deal with loneliness.C.To express his disapproval of spending time on social media platforms.D.To suggest that the loneliness epidemic leads to the brith of commercial services.35.How can employers help fight the loneliness epidemic according to Bowers?A.By reducing tasks. B.By shortening working hours.C.By allowing flexible work schedules. D.By promoting the use of social media platforms.第二節(jié)(共5小題;每小題2.5分,滿分12.5分)閱讀下面短文,從短文后的選項(xiàng)中選出可以填入空白處的最佳選項(xiàng)。選項(xiàng)中有兩項(xiàng)為多余選項(xiàng)。 Living and studying abroad can be a rewarding and enriching experience.

In traditional journalism, when 56 event happens, as a journalist, you pick up your notebook, close the doors in your media van (面包車), and 57 (immediate) rush to the place of the scene.You talk to witnesses, conduct a few 58 (interview), and check the surroundings.The cameraman follows you all the way like a second pair 59 eyes and ears.This has been done the same way for decades. Now journalists across the world are embracing (欣然接受) VR as a new way to attract audiences. VR has the ability 60 (take) the viewer into the location itself, witness the event and see the place through their own eyes. One of the most known news companies that have embraced VR 61 (be) the New York Times (NYT). “The Displaced”, the first 360° VR documentary that 62 (release) by NYT in November 2015, gave viewers a close look to the lives of three children 63 represented more than 30 million refugee (難民) children across the world.

I’ll fix you some hotcakes.” I slipped into my overalls, grabbed the ax (斧子) and headed straight for the outhouse. There Dad sat freely with a bottle of beer in hand. On some Saturdays, he would find time to take us to catch some fish for supper. I walked with my chin up as I thought about what a great day it was going to be. Willie and I were going to ride our bikes into town, and I was sure we’d find some empty bottles, maybe enough to buy some ice cream, my favourite while Willie had a preference for sweets. With the birds bouncing up and down in the tree, I thought it was going to be a great day. Everything done, Mom’s hotcakes were waiting for me. Willie finished his breakfast in a flash. “Mom, can we go now?” I asked, as I swallowed down the last forkful of hotcakes. “Now, Shawn, be careful. Willie hasn’t gone out on the roads much, so you let him ride ahead of you.Keep a good eye on him. OK?” “Be careful, Willie,” I screamed when we pedaled (騎自行車) toward the top of Andover. Andover was the hill we’d have to climb, the top of which was the perfect spot to find empty bottles. Stark’s General Store paid cash, two cents each, and we thought we were rich every time Mr Stark handed us our reward in real money. Pedaling up the hill was a lot of work, but it was worth it.注意:1.續(xù)寫詞數(shù)應(yīng)為150左右;2.請按如下格式作答。 Exhausted and sweaty, we reached the peak.

While I was eating dinner at the fast food restaurant where I normally go when I’m in a hurry, the manager announced that everybody had to leave the building. The place was crowded and that made the situation dangerous, as everyone was determined to get out first. To make matters worse, an elderly woman, who must have weighed 300 pounds, had just come up to the entrance, which was also the only exit. In the meantime, I remembered that I had left my purse in the chair I had been occupying when the announcement was made. It was certainly not convenient to return and get it, but I had to do it. When I finally got outside, I saw that the police bomb team had arrived and the men were studying the area. They finally found out that it was all a false alarm and the crowd went away.第二部分語篇解讀:本文是一篇應(yīng)用文。文章介紹了一個(gè)青少年冒險(xiǎn)訓(xùn)練營的相關(guān)信息。21.D 細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)Camp Dates部分中的Term 5

段落大意題。通讀最后一段內(nèi)容可知,基利·尤安對《國家地理》雜志的杰出貢獻(xiàn)包括2018年他記錄了伊努皮嚴(yán)克人有千年歷史的捕鯨生計(jì),以及捕鯨對于他們集體主義文化的重要意義,還包括他為《國家地理》2022年7月封面故事拍攝的照片,幫助更多人了解北美原住民的自治權(quán)。由此可知,最后一段在強(qiáng)調(diào)基利·尤安的作品的意義。語篇解讀:本文是一篇說明文。文章介紹了社交對健康的重要性,并建議讀者利用科技進(jìn)行有意義的線下社交。28.A 目的意圖題。根據(jù)第一段最后一句可知,第一段是為了說明一些人只關(guān)注改善身體健康,而忽視了社交對一個(gè)人的整體健康也非常重要。29.D 細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第二段最后一句可知,健身追蹤器上顯示的數(shù)據(jù)不能反映一個(gè)人整體的健康狀況。30.C 細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第四段第一句可知,2019年的研究發(fā)現(xiàn)過度使用社交媒體反而會讓人覺得更孤獨(dú)。31.C 推理判斷題。根據(jù)倒數(shù)第二段內(nèi)容可知,Dr Stuart Lustig建議人們利用科技建立和維持更有意義的社交。人們可能通過類似Meetups的平臺參與線下活動,或者通過社交媒體找到自己想去的地方。由此可推知,Lustig建議人們通過社交媒體尋找更有意義的面對面社交活動。語篇解讀:本文是一篇說明文。現(xiàn)代社會,越來越多的人感到孤單,越來越多的社交媒體也應(yīng)運(yùn)而生,然而,它們真能緩解人的孤獨(dú)感嗎?32.C 詞義猜測題。根據(jù)第二段中的We see the rise of social media happening around the same time as this loneliness epidemic.可知,隨著越來越多的人感到孤單,越來越多的社交媒體應(yīng)運(yùn)而生。故畫線部分意為“……的快速增長”。33.D

together.可知,Hindi是為了幫助孤單的人在現(xiàn)實(shí)生活中建立社交,從而創(chuàng)立了Meetup group。34.C 推理判斷題。根據(jù)第三段內(nèi)容和第五段中的you’ll probably never meet them in real life:Not really social connection可知,Johnson提到那些受歡迎的社交媒體是為了表明他對它們的否定態(tài)度。35.C 細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)最后一段中的Creating a healthy work-life balance for employees is very important — flexible work schedules可知,Bowers認(rèn)為老板可以通過給員工提供靈活的上班時(shí)間以幫助他們應(yīng)對孤獨(dú)感。語篇解讀:本文是一篇說明文。文章介紹了一些如何與寄宿家庭一起生活、充分利用寄宿家庭這一經(jīng)歷的一些建議。36.C

根據(jù)下文可知,進(jìn)入寄宿家庭是開始新生活,也會面臨語言障礙,但是要克服挑戰(zhàn),適應(yīng)新環(huán)境;D項(xiàng)符合本段主旨,能夠概括本段內(nèi)容。38.E 根據(jù)上下文可知,一開始到寄宿家庭很難感到不拘束,但是只待在自己的房間很難有歸屬感,因此要參與寄宿家庭的日常活動;E項(xiàng)(那就是為什么花時(shí)間在公共區(qū)域是至關(guān)重要的)與上文構(gòu)成因果關(guān)系,符合語境。39.G 上文舉例說明應(yīng)該融入寄宿家庭的生活中;G項(xiàng)(他們不僅會感激,你也會覺得自己是他們世界的一部分)承接上文,闡述了融入寄宿家庭的家庭活動帶來的益處,符合語境;G項(xiàng)中的feel like a part of their world與本段中feel like you belong表達(dá)意思一致。40.B

of them were truly mine.可知,直到七歲那年,“我”的父母才同意“我”養(yǎng)寵物。“我”終于有了自己的寵物魚,“我”感到很興奮。42.B 參見上題解析。43.D 參見第41題解析。44.A 根據(jù)下文的Every Friday I would clean out his bowl.和I would have to feed my fish first可知,“我”承諾“我”將會照顧喬治。45.C 根據(jù)下文的because I would have to feed my fish first可知,放學(xué)后,“我”會毫不猶豫地拒絕去別處的邀請,因?yàn)椤拔摇币然丶椅刽~。46.D 根據(jù)下文的that I had someone depending on me可知,喬治每天都在提醒“我”它需要“我”。47.A 根據(jù)上文的because I would have to feed my fish first可知,一天放學(xué)回家后,“我”去“我”的房間給喬治喂食。48.B 根據(jù)上文的I came home from school和下文的I saw my best friend George floating around lifeless.可知,“我”看到了可怕的一幕:喬治漂浮在水中,沒有任何生命跡象。“我”扔下書包,沖向魚缸。49.A 參見上題解析。50.B 根據(jù)上文的Mommy, George d ... d... died.可知,話音未落,“我”就止不住哭了起來。51.A 根據(jù)語境可知,“我”突然意識到喬治并沒有離開“我”。52.D 根據(jù)語境可知,通過給喬治喂食和清理魚缸,“我”懂得了責(zé)任的意義。這讓“我”好受多了。對于七歲的“我”來說,這是個(gè)不小的成就。53.B 參見上題解析。54.D 參見第52題解析。55.C 設(shè)空處連接的兩個(gè)句子之間是轉(zhuǎn)折關(guān)系,故選However。語篇解讀:本文是一篇說明文。文章主要介紹了傳統(tǒng)新聞報(bào)道方式以及“VR新聞”這種新模式。56.an 考查冠詞。設(shè)空處表泛指,修飾event,故填不定冠詞an。57.immediately 考查詞形轉(zhuǎn)換。設(shè)空處在句中作狀語,修飾rush

In front of us was Stark’s shelves with everything kids dreamed of.Fascinated by varieties of items, I still chose my favourite ice cream.“Hi, Shawn!I’ve done!” Willie came with his hands full of sweets.Clearly, he definitely couldn’t resist the charm of sweets.Stepping outside the store, Willie and I sat on the doorstep, eating what we had just got.Our eyes lit up with the birds around singing sweet and melodious songs for us.Without doubt, that day, through our joint efforts, we were rewarded with not only physical items but also happiness and memories.9 / 9(共104張PPT)單元質(zhì)量檢測(一) The mass media(滿分150分,時(shí)間120分鐘)第一部分 聽力(共兩節(jié),滿分30分)第一節(jié)(共5小題;每小題1.5分,滿分7.5分)聽下面5段對話。每段對話后有一個(gè)小題,從題中所給的A、B、C三個(gè)選項(xiàng)中選出最佳選項(xiàng)。聽完每段對話后,你都有10秒鐘的時(shí)間來回答有關(guān)小題和閱讀下一小題。每段對話僅讀一遍。1.

Each of these behaviors isimportant, of course, but they all focus on physical health — and agrowing body of research suggests that social health is just as, if notmore, important to overall well-being. A recent study found that the strength of a person’s social circle — asmeasured by cellphone activity — was a better predictor of self-reportedstress, happiness and well-being levels than fitness tracker data onphysical activity, heart rate and sleep. That finding suggests that the“quantified self” presented by endless amounts of health data doesn’t tellthe whole story, says study co-author Nitesh Chawla. “There’s a qualified self, which is who I am, what myactivities, my social network, my lifestyle, and my enjoyment are. Allof these aspects are not reflected in any of these measurements,”Chawla says.“And they are strong determinants of my well-being.” A 2019 study set out to determine what’s driving those high rates ofloneliness and found that social media, when used so much that itoccupied face-to-face quality time, was tied to greater loneliness. Genderand income didn’t seem to have a strong effect, but loneliness tended todecrease with age, perhaps because of the wisdom and perspectiveafforded by years of life lived, says Dr Stuart Lustig, one of the report’sauthors. Lustig emphasizes that we should use technology “to seek outmeaningful connections and people that you are able to keep in your socialsphere (范圍).It’s easy enough to find groups such as Meetups, whichregularly organize offline gatherings, providing members, withopportunities to interact, share, and participate in various activities inreal life.Or through social media, you can find places to go where you’llfind folks doing what you want to do.” That advice is particularlyimportant for young people, he says, for whom heavy social media useis common. Finally, Lustig stresses that even small social changes can have alarge impact. Striking up post-meeting conversations with co-workers, oreven engaging in micro-interactions with strangers, can make your sociallife feel more rewarding.語篇解讀:本文是一篇說明文。文章介紹了社交對健康的重要性,并建議讀者利用科技進(jìn)行有意義的線下社交。本文是一篇說明文。文章介紹了社交對健康的重要性,并建議讀者利用科技進(jìn)行有意義的線下社交。28.

And he pointed out: increasing loneliness alsohas a connection with the proliferation of social media platformsworldwide. “When this social need for interpersonal connections isn’t metin your organic social environment, the market converges upon (趨同于) this,” said Johnson. “We see the rise of social media happeningaround the same time as this loneliness epidemic.” Johnson said that social media platforms can sometimes mitigate (緩解) loneliness — if you’re actually getting in touch with others throughthem. That’s the kind of social network that Deena Hindi has been trying tobuild for her 84-year-old mother.Hindi’s father passed away several yearsago.Her mother was left living alone next door to Hindi, with fewfriends.Hindi figured:“There’s got to be a lot of lonely people. So that’swhy I created a Meetup group, to see if I could get people together.”Agroup of older women found Hindi’s Meetup group online.They now goout regularly in person. However, Johnson said,“More and more people, especiallyyounger people, are engaging in the more follower-type of socialmedia, where you’re engaging with people with massive followings,and you’re looking at their TikTok videos, their tweets, and theirInstagram content.You don’t know them personally; you’ll probablynever meet them in real life:Not really social connection.” There are ways that employers can help fight the lonelinessepidemic, according to Anne Bowers, who researches the workplace,mental health, and productivity. “Workers who have a good work-life balance, socialcompanionship, and satisfying communications at work are 53% lesslikely to be lonely than other employees who don’t.Creating a healthywork-life balance for employees is very important — flexible workschedules, for example, can create better balance,” he said.語篇解讀:本文是一篇說明文。現(xiàn)代社會,越來越多的人感到孤單,越來越多的社交媒體也應(yīng)運(yùn)而生,然而,它們真能緩解人的孤獨(dú)感嗎?本文是一篇說明文。現(xiàn)代社會,越來越多的人感到孤單,越來越多的社交媒體也應(yīng)運(yùn)而生,然而,它們真能緩解人的孤獨(dú)感嗎?32. Which of the following can replace the underlined words “theproliferation of” in Paragraph 2?A. The wide range in.B. The effective use of.C. The rapid increase in.D. The growing importance of.解析: 詞義猜測題。根據(jù)第二段中的We see the rise of socialmedia happening around the same time as this loneliness epidemic.可知,隨著越來越多的人感到孤單,越來越多的社交媒體應(yīng)運(yùn)而生。故畫線部分意為“……的快速增長”。33. Why did Hindi create the Meetup group?A. To make online friends.B. To learn about lonely people’s lives.C. To provide intelligent companionship for her mother.D. To establish real-life social connections for lonely people.解析: 細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第四段中的There’s got to be a lot oflonely people.So that’s why I created a Meetup group, to see if Icould get people together.可知,Hindi是為了幫助孤單的人在現(xiàn)實(shí)生活中建立社交,從而創(chuàng)立了Meetup group。34. Why did Johnson mention some popular social media platforms inParagraph 5?A. To show how younger people behave in real life.B. To recommend some ways to deal with loneliness.C. To express his disapproval of spending time on social media platforms.D. To suggest that the loneliness epidemic leads to the brith of commercialservices.解析: 推理判斷題。根據(jù)第三段內(nèi)容和第五段中的you’llprobably never meet them in real life:Not really social connection可知,Johnson提到那些受歡迎的社交媒體是為了表明他對它們的否定態(tài)度。35. How can employers help fight the loneliness epidemic according toBowers?A. By reducing tasks.B. By shortening working hours.C. By allowing flexible work schedules.D. By promoting the use of social media platforms.解析: 細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)最后一段中的Creating a healthy work-life balance for employees is very important — flexible work schedules可知,Bowers認(rèn)為老板可以通過給員工提供靈活的上班時(shí)間以幫助他們應(yīng)對孤獨(dú)感。第二節(jié)(共5小題;每小題2.5分,滿分12.5分)閱讀下面短文,從短文后的選項(xiàng)中選出可以填入空白處的最佳選項(xiàng)。選項(xiàng)中有兩項(xiàng)為多余選項(xiàng)。 Living and studying abroad can be a rewarding and enrichingexperience.

I’ll fix yousome hotcakes.” I slipped into my overalls, grabbed the ax (斧子) and headedstraight for the outhouse. There Dad sat freely with a bottle of beer in hand.On some Saturdays, he would find time to take us to catch some fish forsupper. I walked with my chin up as I thought about what a great day it wasgoing to be. Willie and I were going to ride our bikes into town, and I wassure we’d find some empty bottles, maybe enough to buy some icecream, my favourite while Willie had a preference for sweets. With thebirds bouncing up and down in the tree, I thought it was going to be agreat day. Everything done, Mom’s hotcakes were waiting for me. Williefinished his breakfast in a flash. “Mom, can we go now?” I asked, as I swallowed down the lastforkful of hotcakes. “Now, Shawn, be careful. Willie hasn’t gone out on the roadsmuch, so you let him ride ahead of you.Keep a good eye on him. OK?” “Be careful, Willie,” I screamed when we pedaled (騎自行車) toward the top of Andover. Andover was the hill we’d have toclimb, the top of which was the perfect spot to find empty bottles. Stark’sGeneral Store paid cash, two cents each, and we thought we were richevery time Mr Stark handed us our reward in real money. Pedaling up the hill was a lot of work, but it was worth it.注意:1.續(xù)寫詞數(shù)應(yīng)為150左右;2. 請按如下格式作答。 Exhausted and sweaty, we reached the peak. In front of us was Stark’s shelves with everything kids dreamed of. 參考范文: Exhausted and sweaty, we reached the peak.It was so peaceful therewith nobody seen.I stared at the sky, dreaming about the ice cream atStark’s General Store.After a while, we got down to collecting emptybottles.Willie grabbed as many of the cans as his arms could hug at onetime.We even piled them up like a tower.Having gathered enough bottles,we were off without delay and arrived at Stark’s, where Mr Stark gave usenough cash to buy what we had longed for.Holding the pennies in handfirmly, we marched straight inside to pick out our favourites. In front of us was Stark’s shelves with everything kids dreamedof.Fascinated by varieties of items, I still chose my favourite icecream.“Hi, Shawn!I’ve done!” Willie came with his hands full ofsweets.Clearly, he definitely couldn’t resist the charm of sweets.Steppingoutside the store, Willie and I sat on the doorstep, eating what we hadjust got.Our eyes lit up with the birds around singing sweet and melodioussongs for us.Without doubt, that day, through our joint efforts, wewere rewarded with not only physical items but also happiness andmemories.謝謝觀看! 展開更多...... 收起↑ 資源列表 單元質(zhì)量檢測(一) The mass media.docx 單元質(zhì)量檢測(一) The mass media.pptx 縮略圖、資源來源于二一教育資源庫
