The sheets are damp with sweat. 英语口语8000句 You’re cold, but your heart is racing as if a 英语口语8000句 killer just chased you down a dark street. It was just a nightmare, you tell yourself; there’s nothing to be afraid 英语口语8000句 of. But you’re still filled with 26 .

Section 英语口语8000句 B
Directions: In 英语口语8000句 this section, you are going to read a passage with ten statements attached 英语口语8000句 to it. Each statement contains information given in one of the paragraphs. Identify the paragraph from which the information is derived. You may choose a paragraph more than once. Each paragraph is marked with a letter. Answer the questions by marking the corresponding letter on Answer Sheet 2.
Why it matters 英语口语8000句 that teens are reading less
[A] Most of us spend much more with digital media than we did a decade ago. But today’s teens have grown up with smartphones. Compared with teens a couple of decades 英语口语8000句 ago, the way they interact with 英语口语8000句 traditional media like books and movies is fundamentally different.
[B] Analysis of surveys of over one million teens in 英语口语8000句 the United States collected since 1976 reveals a major shift in how teens are spending their leisure time. Paper books are being ignored, in favor of screens. Digital devices 英语口语8000句 are changing other behaviors, too. More and 英语口语8000句 more, young people choose spending time on their electronic 英语口语8000句 devices over engaging in other activities, regardless of the type. 英语口语8000句 Indeed, 英语口语8000句 by 2016, the average American high school senior said they spent 英语口语8000句 six hours a day writing text messages, on social 英语口语8000句 media, and online 英语口语8000句 during their free time. And that covers just three activities, and if other digital 英语口语8000句 media activities were included, that 英语口语8000句 estimate would no doubt rise.
[C] Teens did not always spend that much time with digital 英语口语8000句 media. Online time has doubled since 2006, and social media use has moved from a periodic 英语口语8000句 activity to a daily one in the same period. By 2016,nearly nine out of ten young 英语口语8000句 women in the 12th grade said they visited social media sites every day. Meanwhile, time spent playing video games rose from under an hour a day to an 英语口语8000句 hour and a half on average, One out of ten American 8th grace students in 2016 spent 40 hours 英语口语8000句 a week or more playing video games. Let me emphasize that this is equal to the time most adults spend per week at work.
[D] If teens 英语口语8000句 are spending so much time using electronic devices, does 英语口语8000句 that mean they have to give up some other activities? Maybe not.Over the 英语口语8000句 years，many scholars have insisted that time online does not necessarily take away time spent engaging with traditional media or on 英语口语8000句 other activities. Some people,they 英语口语8000句 argue, are just more 英语口语8000句 interested in certain kinds of media and entertainment. Thus,using more of one type of media does not necessarily 英语口语8000句 mean less of the other.
[E] That may be 英语口语8000句 true, but 英语口语8000句 that still does not tell us much about what happens across a whole generation of people when time spent on digital media grows. Large surveys conducted over the course of many years tell us that American youth are not going to the cinema nearly as often as they did in the past. While 70 percent of 8th and 10th grade students used to go to the movies once a month or more, now only 英语口语8000句 about half do this, More 英语口语8000句 and more, watching a movie is something teens choose to do on their electronic devices. Why is this a 英语口语8000句 problem? One reason is that going to 英语口语8000句 the cinema is generally a social activity. Now, watching movies is something that most teens do alone. This fits a larger pattern. In 英语口语8000句 another analysis, researchers found that today’s teens go out with 英语口语8000句 their friends much less often than previous generations did.
[F] But the trends related to movies are less disturbing compared 英语口语8000句 with the change in how teens spend their time. Research has revealed an enormous decline in reading. In 1980, about 60 percent of senior high 英语口语8000句 school students said they read a book, 英语口语8000句 newspaper or magazine every day that was not assigned for school. By 2016, only 16 percent did. This is a huge drop and it is important to note that this was not 英语口语8000句 merely a decline in reading paper books, newspapers or magazines. The survey allowed for reading materials on a digital 英语口语8000句 device.
[英语口语8000句G] Indeed, the number of senior high school students who said they had not read any books for pleasure in the 英语口语8000句 last year was one out of three by 2016.That is triple the number from two decades ago. For today's youth, 英语口语8000句 books,newspapers and magazines have less and less of a presence in their 英语口语8000句 daily lives. Of course, teens are still reading. But they are generally reading 英语口语8000句 short texts. Most of them are not reading long articles or books that explore deep themes and require critical thinking and reflection. Perhaps not accidentally, in 2016 reading scores were the 英语口语8000句 lowest they have ever been since 1972.
[H] This 英语口语8000句 might present problems for young people later on. When high school students go on to college, their past and current reading habits will influence their academic 英语口语8000句 performance. Imagine going from reading texts as short as one or two sentences to trying to read entire books written in complex language and containing sophisticated ideas. Reading and comprehending longer books and chapters takes practice, and American teens are no longer 英语口语8000句 getting that practice.
[I] So how can this problem 英语口语8000句 be solved? Should parents and teachers take 英语口语8000句 away teens’ smartphones and replace them with paper books? Probably not. Research has shown that 英语口语8000句 smartphones are currently American teens’ main form of social communication. This means that, without a 英语口语8000句 smartphone, teens are likely to feel isolated from 英语口语8000句 their peers. However,that does 英语口语8000句 not mean teens need to use electronic devices as often as they do now. Data connecting excessive digital media time to mental health issues suggests a limit of two hours a day of free time spent with screens, a restriction that will also allow time for other activities—like going 英语口语8000句 to the movies with friends or reading longer, more complicated 英语口语8000句 texts.
[J] The latter is 英语口语8000句 especially important. I would argue that of all the changes brought about by the widespread use of digital devices, the huge decline in reading is likely to have the biggest 英语口语8000句 negative impact on today’s teens because reading books and longer articles is one of the best says to learn critical thinking. It helps people to understand complex issues and to separate fact from fiction. Thus, deep reading is crucial for being a good 英语口语8000句 citizen, a successful college student and a productive employee. If serious 英语口语8000句 reading dies, a lot 英语口语8000句 will go with it.
36.Many years’ surveys reveal that young people in America are going to the 英语口语8000句 cinema much less often than they used to.
37. Survey analysis shows American teens now spend their leisure time on digital devices rather than reading printed books.英语口语8000句

39. Many scholars claim that spending time on electronic devices doesn’t 英语口语8000句 necessarily mean a decrease of time for other activities.
40. Most people spend much more time interacting 英语口语8000句 with digital media than they did ten years ago.
41. The author claims that it will be a great loss if we no longer read books and 英语口语8000句 longer articles.
42. Over a decade 英语口语8000句 or so, American 英语口语8000句 teens’ social media use shifted from an occasional activity to a routine one.
43. A more disturbing trend in America today is that teens 英语口语8000句 are spending far less time reading than around four decades ago.
44. Some five years 英语口语8000句 ago, high school seniors in America generally 英语口语8000句 spent more than six hours a day on electronic devices.
45. It was found that American youngsters 英语口语8000句 today don’t socialize nearly as much as the earlier generations.
Section 英语口语8000句 C
Directions: There are 2 passages in this section. Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements. For each of them 英语口语8000句 there are four choices marked A), B)英语口语8000句, C) and D). You should decide on the best choice and mark the corresponding letter on Answer Sheet 2 with 英语口语8000句 a single line through the centre.
Passage 英语口语8000句 One
Questions 英语口语8000句 46 to 50 are based on the following passage.
Have you ever wondered how acceptable it is 英语口语8000句 to hug or touch someone? While it may sound safe 英语口语8000句 to avoid all physical contact so as not to offend anyone, the lack of 英语口语8000句 touching might imply cold attitudes or indifference in interpersonal relationships.
So英语口语8000句 , 英语口语8000句 what should we do? The simple answer is thoroughly learn unique cultural norms for physical contact. In nonverbal 英语口语8000句 communication terminology (术语)，physical contact and the study of touching 英语口语8000句 are generally referred to as haptics.
Haptics in communication often suggest the level of intimacy. 英语口语8000句 They are usually classified into two groups:high-contact and low-contact.
Asia and quite surprisingly the United States. Canada and Britain belong to 英语口语8000句 low-contact cultures. People from the rest of the world such as Latin America,are 英语口语8000句 considered to be in high-contact cultures, where they tend to expect touching in social interactions and feel more comfortable with physical 英语口语8000句 closeness,Despite the 英语口语8000句 classification,there are more complex factors such as relational 英语口语8000句 closeness, 英语口语8000句 gender, age.and context that can affect how someone views physical 英语口语8000句 contact.
One 英语口语8000句 common French custom of greetings is cheek-kissing, but 英语口语8000句 it is mostly restricted to friends, close acquaintances and family members. While cheek-kissing for Latin Americans is also 英语口语8000句 a universal greeting form, it does not require such a high degree of relational 英语口语8000句 closeness. However, gender matters more for them because check-kissing often only happens between women or a man and a 英语口语8000句 woman but not two men.
In 英语口语8000句 contrast,in certain 英语口语8000句 Arabian,Afric英语口语8000句 an, and 英语口语8000句 Asian countries,men can publicly hold hands or show physical affection as signs of brotherhood or friendship 英语口语8000句 while these behaviors may suggest a romantic relationship in other parts of the world.Although men's touching is more normal in these cultures, physical contact between persons 英语口语8000句 of opposite sexes who are not family members is negatively perceived in Arabic countries.
These factors could definitely affect the degree to which someone is comfortable with tactile (触觉的) communication 英语口语8000句 and physical intimacy. Therefore, if you are someone who 英语口语8000句 loves to show physical affection, you should not be afraid to show it or drastically change your behaviors—just ask for consent 英语口语8000句 beforehand!
46. What does the author say in 英语口语8000句 the first paragraph about physical contact?
A) Its role in interpersonal 英语口语8000句 relationships is getting increasingly important.
B) It is becoming more acceptable to many who used to think it 英语口语8000句 offensive.
C) Its absence might suggest n lack of warmth in interpersonal relationships.英语口语8000句
D) It might prompt different responses from people of different social 英语口语8000句 backgrounds.
47.A)What does physical contact in communication 英语口语8000句 suggest?
B) How civilized the communicators 英语口语8000句 are.
C) What family background people come 英语口语8000句 from.
D) How close the communicators’ relationships 英语口语8000句 are.
48.What do we learn about people in high-contact 英语口语8000句 cultures?
A) They are sensitive to the way people express their 英语口语8000句 emotions.
B)英语口语8000句 They take touching as a cultural norm in social interactions.
C) They attach great importance lo close ties 英语口语8000句 among people.
D) They tend 1o be more 英语口语8000句 open in interpersonal relationships.
49.What do we learn about social customs 英语口语8000句 in Arabian countries?

C) Physical contact between 英语口语8000句 unfamiliar people is negatively perceived.
D) People of different 英语口语8000句 ages and genders show affection in different ways.

Passage 英语口语8000句 Two
Questions 51 to 55 are based on the following 英语口语8000句 passage.
From 英语口语8000句 climate change to the ongoing pandemic（大流行。）英语口语8000句and beyond，the issues facing today’s world are increasingly complex and dynamic. Yet solving problems like these requires new approaches that extend beyond traditional 英语口语8000句 ways of thinking. A study led by Yale Professor of Psychology，Paul 英语口语8000句 O’Keefe，found that having a growth mindset（思维倾向）of 英语口语8000句 interest may spark
this type of 英语口语8000句 innovation.
Professor O’Keefe established in earlier studies 英语口语8000句 that people hold different beliefs about the nature of interest. Those with a growth mindset of interest tend to believe that interests can be developed and cultivated, while those with a fixed mindset of interest tend to believe that interests are inherent（与生俱有英语口语8000句的）and simply need to be ‘found.’ Building on these findings，the latest research examined how a growth 英语口语8000句 mindset of interest can boost integrative thinking across the traditional disciplinary boundaries of arts and sciences.
For 英语口语8000句 example,in 英语口语8000句 one task,research participants were instructed to create new college majors by combining two or more existing academic Arts or 英语口语8000句 Science programs at their university. After coding and analyzing the ideas they generated,the team found 英语口语8000句 that people with a growth mindset of interest were more likely to bridge programs across the arts and sciences to create new majors like computational economics rather than creating majors that drew from only one of those areas, like computational 英语口语8000句 chemistry.
As Professor O’Keefe pointed 英语口语8000句 out, “This research provides a useful direction for organizations whose products and services call for integrated and creative 英语口语8000句 solutions. Take smartphones for example.You need not only computer science and engineering knowledge,but also an understanding of psychology 英语口语8000句 and visual design to create a better product.
