Lonely You’re hardly alone. Since COVID-19 struck, few teens have been able to spend as much time at school or with friends as they used to. But even before the COVID-19, loneliness was becoming a growing problem for teens. And the trend (趋势) appears throughout some nations across the world. That’s the finding of a new study. The study connected rising loneliness to a greater use of smartphones and the Internet over the same years.
Jean Twenge, a psychologist, took part in the study. Her team has found that since 2012, US teens have been spending less time together face to face.
“Smartphone can help keep us connected with friends,”says Twenge. “But they can also make people feel excluded. “Girls, especially, may feel this way. One reason may be that they like to post more photos and selfies than boys. Studies have shown that if those pictures don’t get a lot of “likes”, it can affect a teen’s mental health.
And there’s “phubbing”, a mixture of “phone” and “snubbing (冷落)”. It’s that moment in which a friend or family member takes out a phone and keeps looking at it, paying no attention to everybody else, including you. Phubbing is one way that technology can affect you, even when you’re not the one using it.
The new study is mainly according to a survey called the Program for International Student Assessment (PISA). Some one million 15-and I6-year-old students from 37 countries took this survey in 2000, 2003, 2012, 2015 and 2018. Its questions mostly dealt with education. But they also included six statements about loneliness, such as “I feel embarrassed and out of place in my school”. The good news: Even in 2018, most teens around the world still felt liked and included at school. But the fact that so many were reporting loneliness is a worrisome trend.
If technology causes loneliness, should we stop using it “No, not at all, “argues Twenge. “Everybody of all ages is trying to figure out how we can best use these technologies and stay mentally healthy.” Her advice is to “use your smartphone for what it’s good for. Then put it away.” That includes putting it away overnight-ideally in another room.
61．How do girls differ from boys in smartphone use
A．They prefer to post pictures with it.
B．They depend on it to keep in touch.
C．They use it as a learning tool.
D．They need it to stay in style.
62．What does the underlined word “excluded” mean
A．Left out. B．Content. C．Taken in. D．Confident.
63．Why does the author discuss “phubbing” in Paragraph4
A．To introduce a new term of the smartphone.
B．To give an example of communication.
C．To introduce an embarrassing situation.
D．To show the harm of the smartphone.
64．Which of the following would Twenge probably agree with
A．Smart phones only do harm to teenagers.
B．Parents shouldn’t buy phones for their kids.
C．Boys are in greater need of phones than girls.
D．We can use our smartphones to benefit ourselves.
65．What is the best title for the text
A．The Smartphone—the Focus of a Study
B．The Smartphone—a Friend of Teenagers
C．The Smartphone—a Source of Loneliness
D．The Smartphone—a Communication Tool

Hill was in a car accident, which put the 17-year-old girl in hospital for 51 days and left her paralyzed (瘫痪) . For most people, that would have destroyed any hope of advancing career. But for Hill, it was the beginning. Far from being a difficult, her wheelchair encouraged her to think a lot of her life. “I want to tell everyone including myself that I’m still ‘normal’” she said, “whatever normal means”.
For her, “normal” meant dancing. With half of her body taken away, Hill had to move it with hands. It took a lot of learning and patience, but she still made it in her wheelchair with her non-disabled high school dance team.

It’s so powerful to have my teammates in my life, because they’re my teachers. I have more confidence.”
Chelsie Hill got what many of us never will: her childhood dream. She has been chasing her dream in the wheelchair. She’s a dancer. The Rollettes have helped challenge her to be more independent. “It even gives me the courage to take up driving.” she said.

snow雪；rain雨；storm暴风雨；cloud云。根据下文“The next morning, they came out to see their gardens, the engineer was...to see that his plants were uprooted (连根拔起).”可知，第二天，他们出来看他们的花园，工程师看到他的植物连根拔起，由此说明晚上经历了一场暴风雨，符合语境。故选C。
45．句意：第二天早上，他们出来看他们的花园，工程师惊讶地发现他的植物被连根拔起。
glad高兴的；surprised惊讶的；afraid害怕的；worried担心的。联系下文“But the retired teacher’s plants were very well.”可知，工程师发现他的植物被连根拔起，而退休教师的植物却长得很好，他感到很惊讶。故选B。
46．句意：工程师走到退休教师那里问：“我们俩在一起种同样的植物。”
ate吃；threw丢弃；grew种植；repaired修理。联系上文“They planted the same plants in their...”可知，他们俩一起种植同样的植物。故选C。
47．句意：实际上我照顾我的植物比你照顾你的植物更好，甚至给它们更多的水。
you你，主格；yours你的，名词性物主代词；us我们，宾格；me宾格。分析句子可知，此处是把“我照顾我的植物”跟“你照顾你的植物”两种情况相比较，且空后无名词，因此此处应使用名词性物主代词yours，相当于your plants。故选B。
48．句意：这怎么可能呢？
How怎么；What什么；Why为什么；Where在哪里。由上文内容“实际上，我照顾我的植物比你照顾你的植物更好，甚至给它们更多的水。尽管如此，我的植物被连根拔起，而你的却没有。”可知，工程师感觉自己实际上对植物更细心，但结果却不尽人意，所以此处使用How询问“怎么可能”符合语境。故选A。
49．句意：退休老师笑着说：“你给了你的植物更多的关注和水，但正因为如此，它们不需要工作来寻找水。
complained抱怨；smiled微笑；discovered发现；cried哭。根据下文“‘You gave your plants more attention and water, but because of that they didn’t need to work to find water.’”可知，你给你的植物更多的关注和水，但正因为如此，他们不需要工作来寻找水。此处是退休老师在笑着解释他的植物没有遭殃的原因。故选B。
50．句意：你让它们生活得不费力。
easy容易的，不费力的；hard因难的；sad伤心的；convenient方便的。根据上文“‘You gave your plants more attention and water, but because of that they didn’t need to work to find water.’”可知，你给你的植物更多的关注和水，但正因为如此，他们不需要工作来寻找水。由此说明，是你让你的植物生活得不费力。故选A。
51．句意：而我只给它们足够的水，让它们的根去寻找更多的水。
climb爬；produce生产；fit合适；search搜寻，寻找。根据“While I gave them just adequate (合乎需要的) water...”可知，我只给它们足够的水，是为了让植物的根自己去寻找更多的水。故选D。
52．句意：它们的根越扎越深，这使它们更加强壮。
smaller更小的；longer更长的；stronger更强壮的；brighter更明亮的。根据“And their roots went deeper and deeper,”可知，它们的根越扎越深，结合生活实际可知，根扎得越深，它们长得越壮。故选C。
53．句意：如果什么都给他们，他们可能自己都学不会工作。
So因此，引导结果状语从句；When当……的时候，引导时间状语从句；As因为，引导原因状语从句；If如果，引导条件状语从句。分析句子可知，“什么都给他们”是“他们可能自己都学不会工作”的条件。因此此处使用if，引导条件状语从句，符合语境。故选D。
54．句意：教他们如何工作，但让他们走自己的路。
follow跟着；find找到；request请求；suggest建议。根据“Teach them how to work, but let them...their path.”及结合选项可知，教他们如何工作，但让他们走自己的路。此处指“走自己的路”，使用follow，表示“跟着”符合语境。故选A。
55．句意：有时候，最好是引导他们，而不是给予他们。
helping帮助；giving给；comparing比较；beating打。根据上文“...everything is given to them, they may not learn to work themselves.”可知，如果什么都给他们，他们可能自己都学不会工作。由此推断，此处指的是，最好是引导他们，而不是给予他们。故选B。
