The idea that social media is anything but social when it comes to mental health has been talked about for years, but not many studies have managed to actually link the two. To do that, Penn researchers, led by psychologist Melissa Hunt, designed a study that focused on WeChat, Snapchat and Instagram.‎ The study was conducted with 143 participants, who before they began, completed a mood survey and sent along photos of their battery screens, showing how often they ‎ were using their phones to access social media. “We set out to do a much more complete study which attempts to imitate real life.” Hunt said.‎ The study divided the participants into two groups: The first group was allowed to maintain their normal social media habits. The other, the control group, was restricted to 10 minutes per day on social media. The restrictions were put in place for three weeks and then the participants returned and were tested for outcomes such as fear of missing out, anxiety, depression and loneliness.‎ The results showed a very clear link between social media use and increased levels of depression and loneliness. “Using less social media than you normally do would lead to significant decreases in both depression and loneliness,” Hunt said.‎ Social media invites what Hunt calls “downward social comparison.” “When you’re online, it can sometimes seem that everyone else is cooler and having more fun and included in more things and you’re left out，”Hunt said. And that’s just generally discouraging. “Every minute you spend online is a minute you are not doing your work or not meeting a friend for dinner or having a deep conversation with your roommate.” And these real life activities are the ones that can encourage self-esteem and self-worth, Hunt added.‎ ‎“People are on their devices, and that’s not going to change，” she said. But as in life, a bit of control goes a long way.‎ ‎4. Before the study was conducted, the participants completed a survey to_______________.‎ A. imitate people’s real life ‎ B. link loneliness to depression C. show their use of social media ‎ D. prove social media is important 5. The results of the study showed using less social media would result in________________.‎ A. people’s fear of missing out B. higher levels of depression C. obvious relief in loneliness D. lower levels of happiness ‎6. In Hunt’s opinion, which activity benefits more to mental health?‎ A. Hiking out with friends. ‎ B. Making comparison with others.‎ C. Playing computer games in spare time. ‎ D. Logging onto social media and having fun.‎ ‎7. Which can be the best title of the passage?‎ A. A Study on Social Media. B. How to Improve Mental Health.‎ C. People Addicted to Social Media. D. Social Media Influences Mental Health.‎ C In a recent series of experiments at the University of California, researchers studied toddlers’ thinking about winners and losers, bullies (欺凌）and victims.‎ In the first experiment, toddlers (学步儿童）watched a scene in which two puppets (木偶） had conflicting goals: One was crossing a stage from right to left, and the other from left to right. The puppets met in the middle and stopped. Eventually one puppet bowed down and moved aside, letting the other one pass by. Then researchers asked the toddlers which puppet they liked. The result: 20 out of 23 toddlers picked the higher-status puppet — the one that did not bow or move aside. It seems that individuals can gain status for being dominant (占优势的）and toddlers like winners better than losers.‎ But then researchers had another question: Do toddlers like winners no matter how they win? So, researchers did another experiment very similar to the one described above. But this time, the conflict ended because one puppet knocked the other down and out of the way. Now when the toddlers were asked who they liked, the results were different: Only 4 out of 23 children liked the winner.‎ These data suggest that children already love a winner by the age of 21-31 months. This does not necessarily mean that the preference is inborn: 21 months is enough time to learn a lot of things. But if a preference for winners is something we learn, we appear to learn it quite early.‎ Even more interesting, the preference for winners is not absolute. Children in our study did not like a winner who knocked a competitor down. This suggests that ‎ already by the age of 21-31 months, children’s liking for winners is balanced with other social concerns, including perhaps a general preference for nice or helpful people over aggressive ones.‎ In a time when the news is full of stories of public figures who celebrate winning at all costs, these results give us much confidence. Humans understand dominance, but we also expect strong individuals to guide, protect and help others. This feels like good news.‎ ‎8. One of the purposes of the experiments is to_____________.‎ A. teach toddlers how to gain higher status B. offer toddlers a chance to watch a scene C. observe the process of toddlers’ solving a conflict D. find out toddlers’ attitude toward winners and losers ‎9. The toddlers regarded bowing and moving aside as a sign of_____________.‎ A. obeying rules B. gaining status C. giving in to the other D. showing good manners ‎10. What does the second experiment tell us about toddlers?‎ A. They are excellent learners. B. They are always changeable.‎ C. They show mercy to the loser. D. They value kindness over winning.‎ ‎11. What does the author think of the results of the series of experiments?‎ A. Disappointing. B. Encouraging. C. Unexpected. D. Controversial.‎ D Nasr Majid started hunting this fall at Blackwater National Wildlife Refuge (保护区）on the Eastern Shore of Maryland in USA. He’s one of the relatively few new hunters who officials hope will help stop a nearly four-decade decline nationally in what has become a hobby for fewer than 5 percent of Americans.‎ Natural resources and wildlife officials in Maryland are encouraging hunting of deer, turkeys and some other wild animals, which is believed to be good for the environment. Without hunting, they say, sika deer will overpopulate the wildlife refuge and they’ll overeat the bushes and other plants that provide important habitat ‎ for birds. On the western shore of the Chesapeake Bay, hunting is also important to prevent the spread of diseases such as Lyme.‎ In many families, the hunting tradition has been handed down for generations. But as longtime sportsmen age and children lose interest, the number of hunters in the United States fell by 2 million, from 2011 to 2018, to about 11 million.‎ ‎“Everything is changing. Kids are growing up in front of video games and computers instead of going hunting.” said Chris Markin, a hunting specialist for the state natural resources department. “Adults usually focus on working and providing for their families. Those pressures are preventing many other potential hunters from going out, and from raising the next generation of hunters.”‎ To avoid such a decline, a new approach is needed. Government agencies and nonprofit groups are now launching mentoring (指导）programs to train more hunters, which not only helps preserve an industry and a culture but also means more protection for wildlife and their habitats through deer population control and investment.‎ Luckily, there are those still eager to learn, like Majid. He was just looking for an outdoor hobby he could share with his children when he came across the mentorship program. Now，he feels capable of hunting on his own, but also has someone he can text with questions that pop up. His new pastime has already paid off for him — on his second hunt with his mentor, in the last minutes of daylight, he bagged his first deer.‎ ‎12. What can be inferred from Chris Markin’s words?‎ A. The hunting tradition is facing challenges. ‎ B. No one is interested in hunting any more.‎ C. Parents fail to spend enough time with kids. ‎ D. Hunting adds to many adults，life pressures.‎ ‎13. In this passage, Nasr Majid is considered as a symbol of_.‎ A. hope B. bravery C. enthusiasm D. devotion ‎14. What does the underlined words “new pastime” refer to?‎ A. Raising questions. B. Learning to hunt. C. Looking for hunters. D.‎ ‎ Sharing a new hobby.‎ ‎15. What is the best title for the text?‎ A. Teach Hunters New Skills B. Preserve a Great Tradition C. Reduce the Pressure of Life D. Make Hunting More Popular 第二节 七选五（共5小题，每小题2分，满分10分）‎ 根据短文内容，从短文后的七个选项中选出正确答案。选项中有两项为多余选项 The history of writing instruments, with which humans have recorded and conveyed thoughts and feelings, is the history of civilization itself. This is how we know about our ancestors and their life.‎ The handy sharpened-stone was adapted into the first writing instrument. Around 24,000 BC, the cave man started drawing pictures with the stone onto the walls of his cave. 16 Walls at the Apollo site in Namibia are believed to be the oldest rock paintings to date.‎ Before paper came along, people used clay or wax tablets on which they wrote with sharp objects such as metal sticks or bones. Around 6000 years ago, the Egyptians invented the first paper-like material called papyrus. The word “paper” actually comes from the word “papyrus”.‎ ‎17 Bones or metal sticks were no longer useful as the papyrus could not be scratched. So the Egyptians created a reed-pen perfect for the papyrus. 18 _ And thus, ancient Egyptians transformed bamboo stems (茎)into an early form of a fountain pen.‎ Another writing instrument that remained active in history for a long period was the quill (鹅毛）pen. Introduced around 700 AD, the quill was a pen made from a bird feather. Goose feathers were most common. 19 _ For making fine line drawings, crow feathers were the best.‎ When writers had better inks and paper and handwriting had developed into both an art form and an everyday occurrence, man’s inventive nature once again turned to improving the writing instrument. 20 ‎ A. Now something was needed to write upon the papyrus.‎ B. The papyrus became the most popular material at that time.‎ C. Swan feathers were of a high quality, being rare and most expensive.‎ D. Bamboo stems were better and much more expensive than goose feathers.‎ E. These were mostly the stems of grasses, especially from the bamboo plant.‎ F. This led to the development of the modem fountain pen in the 19th century.‎ G. These drawings showed events in daily life like the planting of crops or hunting victories.‎ 第二部分 语言知识运用 （共两节，满分 45分）‎ 第一节 完形填空（共 20 小题；每小题 1.5 分，满分 30 分）‎ 阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。‎ It wasn’t that I was embarrassed my husband was out of work.
