Unit 2 The United Kingdom 阅读理解 A In our everyday lives we meet situations in which we take many things for granted. We only treasure things when they are gone. This is a sad truth of human nature. One day, I found myself as a witness to a similar situation.‎ One evening, I left work and boarded the train. After entering, I noticed something unusual. The center of the car had a few empty seats while both ends were crowded with people standing. I didn’t pay much attention and sat down on one of the empty seats. I sensed a funny smell. It wasn’t long before I noticed a homeless person sleeping on three seats in front of me. He was bleeding from his nose. Why wasn’t anyone helping him?‎ His clothes were torn and he was giving off a strange smell. Along with the smell, his eyes were dull, watery, and red. Occasionally he scratched himself and people looked at him as if he had committed a crime. As the train stopped at stations and more people came in they covered their noses and faced away from him. All the seats around him were empty.‎ Suddenly, he began to swear at the people around him. A plainclothes police officer who looked like a construction worker took out his certificate and showed it to the homeless man. The officer, not wanting to touch the homeless man, told him his rights and directed him to exit the train. As the officer walked the man out of the train, the homeless man turned around and said “MY HOME！” and started crying.‎ A man doesn’t value things until they are gone. If he didn’t have a home, at least he had freedom. Now he has neither. No one wants to help someone who won’t help himself.‎ ‎【解题导语】　本文是一篇记叙文。乘坐火车时，“我”发现了一个流浪汉，他衣衫褴褛，身上散发异味，乘客们避而远之。突然，他开始咒骂他周围的乘客。后来流浪汉被便衣警察带走，他不仅没有家，这一次还失去了自由。‎ ‎1．When entering the car, how did the author feel at first?‎ A．Annoyed.　　　　　　 B．Puzzled.‎ C．Sad.

Now we can also add social media to that list of social and emotional development.”‎ Throughout adolescence，girls and boys develop characteristics like confidence and selfcontrol.Since teenage brains have not completely developed，teens don’t have the cognitive awareness and impulse(冲动) control to keep from posting inappropriate content.Furthermore，this content can easily be spread far and wide with disastrous influences.‎ ‎ “Social media can also feed into girls’ insecurities about their appearance，” Ramsden said.These sites are often filled with images of people with body type unattainable to the normal person.However，these images and the messages tied to them gradually become societal standards.‎ ‎【解题导语】　一项新研究发现，英国女孩的心理健康状况变得更糟；分析表明，社交媒体时代的到来可能是造成英国女孩心理压力加大的主要因素。‎ ‎5．The statistics in the second paragraph show that________．‎ 5‎ A．more and more children in Britain have mental health problems B．few girls in Britain suffered from psychological stress in 2005‎ C．more boys in Britain are suffering from mental pressure now D．more British girls feel psychologically stressed than boys do now D　解析：推理判断题。根据第二段的第一句可知，调查显示，2014年37%的英国女孩有心理压力，而2005年只有34%；根据第二段的第二句可知，同期调查显示，英国男孩有心理压力的从2005年的17%降到2014年的15%。据此可以判断，英国女孩有心理压力的比男孩多，故D项正确。‎ ‎6．Contrary to traditional ways of interaction, social media________．‎ A．helps teenagers develop qualities like confidence and selfcontrol B．has many negative effects on girls’ characteristic development C．makes teens aware of potential danger of the inappropriate content D．teaches girls to care about their appearance to meet societal standards B　解析：细节理解题。根据第五段的最后一句和最后一段第一句的“Social media can also feed into girls’ insecurities about their appearance” 可知，由于青少年的思想还不成熟，自控能力有限，社交媒体对英国女孩的心理健康和她们对外表美丑的判断产生了消极的影响。故B项正确。‎ ‎7．The underlined word “advent” in Paragraph 3 can be replaced by “________”．‎ A．arrival　　　　　　　 B．end C．disappearance D．invention A　解析：词义猜测题。结合该段内容和下文关于传统交流方式和社交媒体的比较可知，报告的作者指出，“社交媒体时代的到来”可能是造成英国女孩心理压力增加的主要因素。据此可知，画线词意为“到来”，故A项正确。‎ 七选五 ‎(2018·杭州高三模拟)College visits are important.1.________.
