Dozens of them. Two 17-year-old girls talk about their science class. A middle-aged man gives his views on politics. A young woman wi th purple hair, near tears, has recently broken with her boyfriend. She hasn’t gotten over it yet and she wants to talk.Barry and Wetzel came to New York only a year ago, but they have already heard thousands of stories like these. They have walked the streets and avenues, set up their sign and listened.Barry and Wetzel, in their 20s, have discovered that talking is highly healing forNew Yorkers. “Taking a little time out from a busy schedule to talk to someone you’ve never met can change your whole outl ook forever,” Liz Barry says.Barry and Wetzel figure that now, after a year, is a good time to stop. They still haven’t decided what to do next, but it’s unlikely to be something as original as their “Talk to me” project.Which of the following statements is true about Barry and Wetzel?What does the speaker think of Barry and Wetzel’s project?What is the passage mainly about?【11题详解】此题为听力题，解析略。

2019-2020学年上海市金山中学高三英语第二次联考试题及参考答案第一部分阅读（共两节，满分40分）第一节（共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分）阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项AI truly thought thatI might die that day. Had I not seen three bears and a few wolves over the last couple of days near the road, I might have just lain down and called it quits. What in the world was I thinking, dragging my bike up to Yellowstone and thinking I could ride from West Yellowstone to Old Faithful in the snow? No less!I had planned this trip for more than two months, and I wasn't about to give up so easily. The first few miles were beautiful. Ten miles in, I started sucking wind. Fifteen miles and my legs felt like they were made of lead. By twenty miles, my lungs were burning and felt like there was nothing left in the tank. That was when I turned around and saw my husband and three children cheering me on in the van behind me. I knew I couldn't quit because I tell my children all the time that just because something is hard doesn't mean that you stop doing it. I had to live what I'd been preaching(说教). That thought got me up that mountain and to the end of the ride.The importance of that ride was apparent after only a week. My eight-year-old daughter Emalee wanted to ride in a twelve-mile charity ride. That day was cold as well. She was the youngest rider. About four miles into the ride, she started feeling cold. The chill(寒冷)was making her muscles cramp a little and she began to struggle. By six miles, she had tears running down her face. It broke my heart to see her suffering like that.I told herthat she didn't have to finish. She said that she wouldn't quit. I told her how I had wanted to quit the week before, but perseverance had gotten me to the end and I knew she could do it, too.The look on her face as she pulled into the finish was priceless. She threw her arms around me and said, “You didn't quit, Mommy, so neither did I.”1. What motivated the author to finish her ride?A. Her family's encouragement.B. Her own instruction for children.C. The beautiful scenery and weather.D. The careful and thorough preparation.2. By describing the conditions Emalee met, the author wanted to________.A. show her guilt for her daughterB. prove that riding is a tough taskC. persuade her daughter to give upD. indicate she was proud of Emalee3. What does the author want to tell us according to the story?A. Never say die.B. Do nothing by halves.C. Children are what the mothers are.D. Every mother's child is handsome.BEmojis are very popular among mobile phone and social media users. While there are emojis of almost every kind imaginable, from dinosaurs to joyful tears and eggplants, there is no emoji for forgiveness. Seeing the need to show understanding, aFinnish group decided it was time for a "forgiveness" emoji.Every year, the Unicode Consortium, which sets the standards, adds new emojis to the emoji keyboard on mobile phones and computers. In 2019, the Forgivemoji campaign was launched. Forgivemoji's site made an open call to the public to give their designs for a new forgiveness emoji, with the goal of presenting the symbol to the Unicode Consortium and getting it accepted by people.Tuomo Pesonen, communications director of the Unicode Consortium, explained why the forgiveness emoji isindispensablein today's world. “In our modern communication culture, emojis are an important way of expressing human feelings beyond words.” The campaign gained popularity, reaching over two million people around the world. They received many designs, including a bandaged heart, two holding hands, and people from different cultures hugging.After hundreds of people offered their ideas for this emoji, the winner was announced in February 2020. Former Finnish president Tarja Halonen was selected to choose the winner as she has been important in building bridges between people. The emoji that will be presented to the Unicode Consortium is an image of two hands giving a thumbs-up symbol in front of a heart. If the Unicode Consortium accepts the design, it will become available to the public in late 2021.The Forgivemoji campaign goes far beyond having a strong influence on social media. The message of showing forgiveness and understanding is helpful for the world at large.4. What's the idea behind the Fogivemoji campaign?A. people develop pleasant habits.B. To get people more friendly to each other.C. To pick a forgiveness emoji for the public to use.D. To make mobile phones and computers more convenient to use.5. What does the underlined word “indispensable” in Paragraph 3 mean?A. Necessary.B. Different.C. Changeable.D. Interesting.6. Why was Tarja Halonen selected to choose the winner for the campaign?A. She launched the campaign herself.B. She designed the most popular emoji.C. She was familiar with the emoji history.D. She played an important role in relating people.7. What can be the best title for the text?A. Forgiveness is important for peopleB. Emoji for forgiveness is on the wayC. Emojis are becoming interestingly popularD. Finnish people explore the stories of emojisCThe shade of a single tree can provide welcome relief from the hot summer sun. But when that single tree is part of a small forest, it creates a considerable cooling effect. According to a study published today in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, trees play a big role in keeping our cities cool.According to the study, the right amount of tree cover can lower summer daytime temperatures by as much as 10 degrees Fahrenheit. And the effect is quite noticeable from neighborhood to neighborhood, even down to the scale of a single city block. “We knew that cities are warmer than the surrounding countryside, but we found that temperatures vary just as much within cities,” says Monica Turner, a professor in the department of Integrative Biology, Wisconsin-Madison University and a co-author of the study.With climate change making extreme heat events more common each summer, city planners are working on how to prepare. Heat waves drive up energy demands and costs and can have big human health impacts. One potentially powerful tool, the study's authors say, are organisms that have been around long before human civilizations could appreciate their leafy benefits. And those trees may be the secret to keeping the places we live livable.Essentially, says Turner, roads, sidewalks and buildings absorb heat from the sun during the day and slowlyrelease that heat at night. Trees, on the other hand, not only shade those surfaces from the sun's rays, they also release water into the air through their leaves, a process that cools things down.To get the maximum benefit of this cooling service, the study found that tree cover must be more than 40 percent. In other words, an aerial picture of a single city block would need to be nearly half-way covered by a leafy green network of branches and leaves.8. What can we infer from Paragraph 2?A. Temperatures in cities mainly depend on their green coverage.B. People living and working in cities must plant trees in summer.C. Cities are warmer than the countryside because they don't have trees.D. An area with more trees can be cooler than the other parts within a city.9. Which of the following problems is caused by extreme heat events?A. Severe damage of city facilities.B. Serious human health problems.C. Residents' growing demands for plants.D. Unnecessary waste of energy resources.10. Why are trees crucial to cities?A. They help shade and cool the cities.B. They make urban scenery beautiful.C. They build up city cooling systems.D. They essentially block and release heat.11. What can city planners conclude from the study?A. They should publish the study in a newspaper.B. They should educate citizens to protect forests.C. They should plant trees on roads and sidewalks.D. They should cover nearly half the city with trees.DA student had to get his long hair cut off in a middle school in GuangDong Province. It was talked a lot among teachers and students.In fact, all schools have their own rules. In most schools, boy students are not allowed to have long hair while girls are not allowed to dye their hair. And most school rules say that students should wear their school uniforms at school. And students must obey these rules so that they can get healthy development at school.But some students have disagreements. They think that boy students having long hair doesn't mean that they are not good students. They want to show their own personality. They think that they would look cool too if they had long hair and the hairstyles like their favorite stars.A girl student thought that she would look much more beautiful if she had brown hair. So she had her dark hair dyed brown one day. When she went back to school the next day, the teacher was very angry with her. She said that she worked hard at her lessons and did well in every subject. She just didn't know why the teacher didn't allow her to dye her hair while women teachers can.It is not wrong for teenagers to love stars' hairstyles or wear their favorite clothes. However, a school has its own rules for all the students to obey so that the school can be in good order. Students should not break the rules at school.12. What aren't boy students allowed to do in most middle schools according to this passage?A. To have long hair.B. To wear uniforms.C. To like famous stars.D. To show their own personalities.13. Why did the girl make her hair brown?A. Because she wanted to be cool.B. Because she thought that she would look much more beautiful.C. Because she wanted to make her teacher angry.D Because women teachers dyed their hair.14. What does the writer think of these school rules?A. The students should be against them.B. They are bad for students.C. They can make schools in good order.D. They can't make students grow healthily.15. What is the passage mainly about?A. Hair styles and clothes.B. Schoolboys and schoolgirls.C. Students and famous stars.D. School rules.第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。

2019届上海高三英语二模汇编--阅读C篇（解析版）

2019届上海高三英语二模汇编--阅读C篇（解析版）2019届高三英语二模汇编——阅读C篇1、2019黄浦二模Directions: Read the following three passages. Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read.（C）Right now, I am looking at a shelf full of relics, a collection of has-beens, old-timers, antiques, fossils. Right now, I am looking at a shelf full of books. Yes, that’s right. If you have some spare cash (the going rate is about $89) and you are looking to enhance your reading experience, then I highly suggest you consider purchasing an e-reader. E-readers are replacing the books of old and I welcome them with open arms (as you should).An e-reader is a device that allows you to read e-books. An e-book is a book-length publication in digital form, consisting of text, images or both, and produced on, published through and readable on computers or other electronic devices. Sometimes the equivalent of a conventional printed book, e-books can also be born digital. The Oxford Dictionary of English defines the e-book as “an electronic version of a printed book”, but e-books can and do exist without any printed equivalent.E-readers put printed books to shame. E-readers are superior to printed books because they save space, are environmentally friendly and provide helpful reading tips and tools that printed books do not.The average e-reader can store thousands of digital books,providing a genuine library at your fingertips. What is more, the e-reader itself is very small. It is easy to hold and can fit in a pocketbook or briefcase easily. This makes handling wooden giant such as War and Peace and Anna Karenina a breeze. Perhaps the only drawback to the space-saving aspect of an e-reader is that it requires you to find new things to put on your shelves.In addition, e-readers are environmentally friendly. The average novel is about 300 pages long. So, if a novel is printed 1000 times, it will use 300,000 pieces of paper. That’s a lot of paper! And for the super bestsellers, these figures increase dramatically. For example, the Harry Potter book series has sold o ver 450 million copies. That’s about 2 million trees! Upon viewing these figures, it is not hard to grasp the severe impact of printed books on the environment. Since e-readers use no trees, they represent a significant amount of preservation in terms of the environment and its resources.Finally, e-readers provide helpful reading tips and tools that printed books do not. The typical e-reader allows its user to adjust letter size, letterform and line spacing. It also allows highlighting and electronic bookmarking.Furthermore, it grants users the ability to get an overview of a book and then jump to a specific location based on that overview. While these are all nice features, perhaps the most helpful of all is the ability to get dictionary definitions at the touch of a finger. On even the most basic e-reader, users can find instant definitions without having to hunt through a physical dictionary.It can be seen that e-readers are superior to printed books. They save space, are environmentally friendly and provide helpfulreading tips and tools that printed books do not. So what good are printed books? Well, they certainly make nice decorations.63. As used in paragraph 1, it can be inferred that “has-beens, old-timers, antiques, fossils”are all words that describe something ____________.A. outdatedB. typicalC. meaningfulD. useless64. Based on information in the passage, it can be inferred that printed books of War and Peace and AnnaKarenina are all ____________.A. superior and dramaticB. dense and environmentalC. awkward and heavyD. significant and resistant65. According to the author, which of the following reading tips and tools are offered by the e-reader?①line spacing customization②the ability to quickly jump to the end of a book③access to a printed dictionary at the touch of a fingerA. ①and ②onlyB. ①and ③onlyC. ②and ③onlyD. ①, ②and ③66. Which of the following sentences from the passage best summarizes the author’s main point?A. “If you have some spare cash(the going rate is about $89)and are looking to enhance your readingexperience, then I highly suggest you consider purchasing ane-reader.”B. “E-readers are replacing the books of old, and I welcome them with open arms (as you should)．”C. “An e-reader is a device that allows you to read e-books. An e-book is a book-length publication in digitalform, consisting of text, images, or both, and produced on, published through, and readable on computers or other electronic devices.”D. “E-readers are superior to printed books because they save space, are environmentally friendly, and providehelpful reading tips and tools that printed books do not.”答案：63-66 ACAD难度：中等解析：本文为说明文。

Reading ComprehensionSection ADirections:For each blank in the following passage there are four words or phrases marked A, B, C and D. Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context.Now, U.S. researchers have identified a new way to treat people infected with tuberculosis （肺结核）before they get sick.Tuberculosis is one of the world’s most (41) ______ health threats.The World Health Organization says tuberculosis kills nearly two million people each year. Another two billion are (42) ______: they are infected, but don’t have symptoms of the disease. Th ose at highest risk can take medicine, but Vanderbilt University researcher Timothy Sterling says not everyone (43) ______ with the treatment, which is a daily dose of isoniazid（异烟肼，抗结核药）for nine months. So although the medication is highly effective if people take all of their medication, many people do not take all their medication and therefore the effectiveness of the treatment plan is (44)______. As a(n)(45) ______, Sterling and his colleagues (46) ______ isoniazid with another drug, rifapentine（利福喷汀）.The combination was taken weekly, not daily, for just three months. And the results of this study showed that the new treatment plan ---- the three months of isoniazid and rifapentine---- was as effective as the nine–month isoniazid treatment plan. (47)______, the short-course, three-month treatment plan had higher treatment completion rates and was also well (48) ______.There was some other difference. The two-drug, combination treatment was administered as directly (49) ______ therapy. That means the patients took their medicine in the presence of a health care worker, to ensure that they followed the treatment plan. This was a large study, involving 7,500 participants in North America, Spain, and Brazil. Sterling (50) ______ that most of the people in this study were HIV-negative. The results might be (51) ______for HIV-positive people.

The government health agency recommends the 12-dose weekly combination treatment as an equal alternative to the 270–dose daily treatment plan that has been the (54)______therapy. But because of possible (55) ______ issues, the CDC still recommends the daily treatment plan for HIV–positive patients who are taking antiretroviral drugs or women who are pregnant.

Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read.(A)If a person who lived 200 years ago was treated for a seizure（癫痫）today, they would be surprised by the treatment’s freshness. That’s because doctors in the 1800s wer e influenced more by original medical beliefs than science.Rather than thinking the brain caused seizures, people in the 1800s still thought they were the result of strange forces. They associated seizures with the work of evil spirits. Others felt that the seizures had a cosmic or lunar cause. They believed that the cycles of the moon and stars could make someone have a seizure.During a process to treat a patient who has seizures, doctors would force the patient to pray for the grace of the God. They thought if the patient did this, then the patient would rid themselves of the evil spirits causing the seizures.The arrival of modern psychiatry（精神病学）occurred during the 1800s. At that time people who suffered from seizures were placed in psychiatric hospitals. They were treated like they were mad. However, none of the out-of-date treatments worked.It wasn’t until the late 1850s that the causes of seizures were understood. We know today that these causes are related to the brain. Misfired signals from the brain cause a jerking reflex（反射）in the body. These usually occur when someone is very tired.Once the causes of seizures were known, definitive treatments were developed.Today, treatments range from taking pills to having surgery. Treatment is personalized according to thetype of seizure the patient has.Even today, some people are unsure about seizures. Their most common mistake is thinking that a person having a seizure will swallow their tongue. They often push some implement roughly in the person’s mouth. However, this doesn’t help. The implement often blocks the airway and prevents the person from breathing. Yet most of the public no longer fear people who have seizures. Instead, they can now help and comfort a person if they have a seizure.56. Why would someone from the past be surprised by today’s treatments for seizures?A. Because they believed in scientific treatment for seizures.B. Because they believed seizures were caused by strange forces in nature.C. Because they believed there would be no cure for seizures.D. Because they believed patient would treat seizures by himself.57. During the arrival of modern psychiatry, how were people treated in psychiatric hospitals?A. They were forced to ask the God for mercy.B. They worked for the old-fashioned treatment.C. They were considered senseless.D. They were treated as evil spirits.58. Which of the following condition can cause a seizure?A. Rashes and other skin problems.B. Infected wounds.C. Stomach disorders.D. Brain injuries.59. What’s the best title of the passage?A. Symptoms Old and NewB. Universal Forces or ScienceC. Seizures Now and ThenD. Treatments Effective or Not(B)How a few members of the animal kingdom handle the transition to adulthood?African elephantsThese beautiful beasts come close to imitate teen rebellion. Calves spend a decade with their mothers in female-dominated groups ---- and ladies stay there ---- but adolescent boys leave mom for noisy crews of bros. In their 20s, they often downsize to smaller male groups.Orangutans （猩猩）Slow metabolism allows these primates to survive food shortages ---- times when weather makes ripe fruit scarce. But energy efficiency comes at a cost; growth and maturation take time.Orangutan mamas nurse their young longer than any other wild creature does.Orcas（逆戟鲸）Killer whales join their mother’s famili al group for life. This lasting-relationship seems to increase a pup’s chance of survival; if mom dies, a young male (under 30) is three times more likely to die than a peer whose mother is alive. Risk of death post-mom-mortem rises as kids get older.Harp sealsA harp seal’s “childhood” last s just 12 days. A pup’s sole purpose during that brief period of coddling(宠爱) is to constantly nurse, gaining a fifth of its birth weight in blubber(鲸脂) every day. Once it’s fat ---- they become greater from 25 to 80 pounds ---- it slides off the ice and takes on the sea.Wolf spidersEvery parent knows that tired toddlers love to hitch a piggyback ride. The wolf spider straps all her babies (40 or 50, on average) onto her back at once, carrying the brood until they are capable of fully functional spider-hood. But luckily she only has to pull them for a few days.60. According to the passage, which animals take the biggest responsibility in raising their young?A. Harp seals.B. African elephantsC. Orcas.D. Wolf spiders.61. What can we learn from the sentence “But luckily she only has to pull them for a few days”?A. Other grown wolf spiders will come to take care of the babies.B. The toddlers are too heavy for parents to hitch a piggyback ride.C. Baby spiders are able to live on their own after a short period of time.D. Baby spiders can make full use of spider-hood before they leave their parents.62. Who will be interested in this passage?A. A student who is doing a project on animal growth.B. A kid who is keen on animal watching.C. A zoo-worker who is responsible for visitors’ safety.D. A doctor who specializes in animals’ health.(C)As advances in auto-technology have placed a huge number of self-driving machines on our roads and sidewalks, a side product has materialized in recent years: robot-babysitting.In Phoenix, human attendants will remotely monitor Google’s upcoming Waymo robot-taxis, using the cars cameras to evaluate and adapt to passenger or road challenges. State safety regulations typically require that auto-vehicles be accompanied at all times by humans. These professionals’ job titles range from “robot handler”to “safety driver,” but they have essentially the same responsibilities: monitoring robot behavior for safety and performance, and answeringquestions about the technology. Broadly speaking, robot-babysitting jobs fall under the umbrella of careers in automation, which include maintenance, engineering, and programming. However, some observers note that certain kinds of robot-babysitting –-- the kind that is boring and doesn’t require muc h education –-- can make for thankless work. The safety drivers who sit in self-driving cars have described their roles as“exhausting” a nd “demanding,” and many told me about the constant pressure to stay vigilant at all times. “It’s incredibly hard to sit in a chair and stare at a computer without doing anything for eight hours,” Ramsey said. “But you do not need a Ph.D. to do it.” In March 2018, the field of robot babysitting took a beating when a self-driving Uber in Tempe, Arizona, hit a 49-year old named Elaine Herzberg. Dashcam footage showed that Rafaela V asquez, the car’s safety driver, had not been looking at the road when the accident occurred. Investigators are deciding if Vasquez will be charged with murder.According to the McKinsey Global Institute, 10 million to 800 million jobs globally could be lost to automation by 2030. In the long term, i t’s inevitable that robot-babysitters will go the way of elevator operators and lamplighters. But they’ll also birth new robot-related roles.“A huge number of jobs will be created as auto-vehicles are loosed into the environment,” Ramsey said. In 2016, Bosch started training students from Schoolcraft College, a community college in Michigan, in auto-vehicle repair: Toyota has trained students in maintenance as well. “We might even see a return to low-level jobs where people come and fuel the car for you,”Ramsey said. “Until we can wirelessly charge, someone needs to refuel them.” The hardest-to-automate industries, as it happens, are the ones that require looking after humans: childcare, education, health-care aides. Robot babysitters might feel like they have gained the job of the future. But in fact, real babysitters might be better positioned.63. Robot-babysitting jobs do NOT include _______________.A. answering the questions about the technique.B. observing the certain kinds of the robot-babysitter.C. monitoring the potential problems of the auto-vehicles.D. maintaining the vehicles which are out of order.64. The underlined word “vigilant” most probably means “.”A. gratefulB. suspiciousC. fitD. alert65. According to Ramsey, what will happen when auto-vehicles are released into the market?A. A lot of opportunities will be created.B. A large number of people will be out of work.C. Auto-vehicles will become much cheaper.D. Many people will turn to buying auto-cars.66. What’s this passage mainly about?A. The Rise and Fall of Robot Babysitters.B. The Future of Auto-Vehicles.C. The Life and Employment of the Future.D. The Position of Robot Babysitters.Section CDirections: Complete the following passage by using the sentences given below. Each sentence can be used only once. Note that there are two more sentences than you need.The North StarAmong the pile of stars in the universe, there are a couple that are of great importance to people on Earth. The sun, of course, is one of them. The other is known as Polaris, the North Star.(67) __________. Therefore, it is a great compass（指南针）.When people in the northern part of Earth look toward Polaris, they can be certain that they are facing north. The permanence of Polaris in the north sky has helped countless people find their destinations.Before the invention of modern navigation tools, sailors relied on Polaris. From the top of their ships, sailors would look for Polaris to figure out their place at sea. They figured out the angle between the star and the horizon to determine their latitude（纬度）. As long as the equations were not wrong, the results were very reliable. Polaris also let sailors determine North, South, East, and West. (68) _____________To those who sail at night, changeable storms and dark clouds were more than annoying things.(69)_____________.It’s possible for a captain to make an accidentalwrong turn. The ship could become stranded at sea, and the frustrated captain would have no way to get the ship back on the right course. The sailor’s fears wouldn’t be relieved until the clouds cleared and Polaris came back into view. Even today, sailors sometimes choose to steer by using Polaris on clear nights.(70)___________. The Big Dipper, a constellation that is well known in astrology, appears to revolve around Polaris. The handle of the Big Dipper always points to the North Star. When people get lost, it’s comforting to know that their problems can be relieved by looking at the sky.IV．Summary WritingDirections: Read the following passage. Summarize in no more than 60 words the main idea of the passage and how it is illustrated. Use your own words as far as possible.71.Unfair ComparisonsThanks to social media, the distance between friends is smaller than ever. But doesthat make us happier? Not necessarily. Arecent study has found spending too muchtime comparing your life with the seeminglyperfect lives of your friends on social media can result in depressive symptoms.We’ve all done it---- browsing through our WeC hat friends’updates while feeling that green-eyed monster holding its head inour minds: Are their homes bigger and more tasteful? Are their vacationsmore expensive and exciting? Are their careers more successful and rewarding?Comparison is the thief of joy. The moretime you spend on social media, the morelikely it is for you to feel depressive symptoms, according to a new study out of University of Houston.The study, led by Mai-Ly Steers, examinesthe potential impact online social comparison can have on a person’s men tal health.“The underlying mechanism is socialcomparison,”Steers said.“Thereason why you feel these feelings is that youtend to socially compare yourself with yourfriends.”This social comparison theory was popularized by US psychologist Leon Festinger in the 1950s. According to an article in The Atlantic, Festinger argued that people have born tendencies to track their progressand measure their self-worth by comparing themselves with other people. That socialcomparison leads to feelings of insignificance and insecurity. Research has sincefound that making social comparisons, especially upward comparisons(to people we think above us for whatever reason), areassociated with negative health outcomeslike depressive symptoms and decreasedself-esteem.“You can’t really control the strong desire to compare because you never know whatyour friends are going to post. Inaddition, most of our friends tend to postabout the good things that occur in theirlives, while leaving out the bad. If we’recomparing ourselves with our friends’‘sharable highlights’, this may lead us to think theirlives are better than they actually are, and thus make us feel worse about ourown lives.”So if you are the jealous type, maybethink about signing off of your WeChat for a while. Your well-being may depend on it.V. TranslationDirections: Translate the following sentences into English, using the words given in the brackets.72. 尽管他已经非常尽力，他还是没能弥补损失。

We were focusing on the theme of loving others in practical ways through our gifts, and something in particular happened during one of the sessions（会议）will remain imprinted in memory.A young Syrian woman (Lilith) was invited to the conference at the last minute, and everyone seemed surprised and delighted that she’d actually come. Just a few days earlier, Lilith had fled her country and found refuge with one of the women attending the conference. As an Orthodox Christian in Syria, she and her loved ones had become attacked targets of violent terrorist groups in the country’s ongoing civil war.Lilith had witnessed horrors no one of her young age should ever see. Despite the further danger it presented, she’d decided to leave her home and her family to find safety here in America. Knowing some of her story, and seeing her sitting through the sessions at the retreat（畏缩不前）---head, covered in a scarf, bowed toward the floor---broke my heart. Lilith’s story touched all of us, including Pam, who was quilt maker. Pam had just finished a beautiful quilt, and had brought it with her. She, along with a few of the leaders, decided to give it to Lilith as a symbol of their comfort and love.During our last session, Lilith was called forward and prayed over, hugged, and wrapped up in that beautiful quilt. I thought of the many hours Pam undoubtedly spent working on it, and the terrible events that led Lilith to this moment---surrounded by the beauty and love quiltembodied. I wept. When they told her it was for her, she wept.25. What is the purpose of the women’s conference?A. To help others in a practical way.B. To win equal rights for women.C. To get together to dance and sing.D. To exchange gifts with each other.26. Why did Lilith go to America?A. To attend the women’s conference.B. To find safety.C. To find her family.D. To find a better job.27. From this passage, we know that the writer is____________.A. enthusiasticB. sympatheticC. intelligentD. talented28. What is the meaning of the underlined word?A. a place of interestB. a place of dangerC. a place of conferenceD. a place of shelterCY ou know the feeling that you have left your phone at home and feel anxious, as if you have lost your connection to the world. “Nomophobia”(无手机恐惧症) affects teenagers and adults alike. Y ou can even do an online test to see if you have it. Last week, researchers from Hong Kong warned that nomophobia is infecting everyone. Their study found that people who use their phones to store, share and access personal memoriessuffer most. When users were asked to describe how they felt about their phones, words such as “hurt”(neck pain was often reported) and “alone”predicted higher levels of nomophobia.“The findings of our study suggest that users regard smartphones as their extended selves and get attached to the devices,”said Dr. Kim Ki Joon. “People experience feelings of anxiety and unpleasantness when separated from their phones.”Meanwhile, an American study shows that smartphone separation can lead to an increase in heart rate and blood pressure.So can being without your phone really give you separation anxiety? Professor Mark Griffiths, psychologist and director of the International Gaming Research Unit at Nottingham Trent University, says it is what is on the phone that counts-the social networking that creates Fomo (fear of missing out).“We are talking about an internet-connected device that allows people to deal with lots of aspects of their lives,”says Griffiths. “Y ou would have to surgically remove a phone from a teenager because their whole life is rooted in this device.”Griffiths thinks attachment theory, where we develop emotional dependency on the phone because it holds details of our lives, is a small part of nomophobia. For “screenagers”, it is Fomo that creates the most separation anxiety. If they can’t see what’s happening on Snapchat orInstagram, they become panic-stricken about not knowing what’s going on socially. “But they adapt very quickly if you take them on holiday and there’s no internet,”says Griffiths.29. Which of the following may Dr. Kim Ki Joon agree with?A. We waste too much time on phones.B. Phones have become part of some users.C. Addiction to phones makes memories suffer.D. Phones and blood pressure are closely linked.30. According to Giffiths, we get nomophobia because .A. we are accustomed to having a phone on usB. we need our phones to help us store informationC. we worry we may miss out what our friends are doingD. we fear without phones we will run into a lot of trouble31. Where can you probably find the above passage?A. In a research report.B. In a fashion brochure.C. In a science textbook.D. In a popular science magazine. DAre some people born clever, and others born stupid? Or is intelligence developed by our environment and our experience? Strangely enough, the answer to these questions is yes. To some degree our intelligence is given to us at birth, and no amount of education can make a genius out of a child born with low intelligence. On the other hand, a child who lives in aboring environment will develop his intelligence less than one who lives in rich and varied surroundings. Thus the limits of person’s intelligence are fixed at birth, whether or not he reaches those limits will depend on his environment. This view, now held by most experts, can be supported in a number of ways.It is easy to show that intelligence is to some degree something we are born with. The closer the blood relationship between two people, the closer they are likely to be intelligent. Thus if we take two unrelated people at random from population, it is likely that their degree of intelligence will be completely different. If, on the other hand, we take two identical twins, they will very likely be as intelligent as each other. Relations like brothers and sisters, parents and children, usually have similar intelligence, and this clearly suggests that intelligence depends on birth. Imagine now that we take two identical twins and put them in different environments. We might send one, for example, to a university and the other to a factory where the work is boring. We would soon find differences in intelligence developing, and this indicates that environment as well as birth plays a part. This conclusion is also suggested by the fact that people who live in close contact with each other, but who are not related at all are likely to have similar degree of intelligence.32. The writer is in favor of the view that man’s intelligence is given to him .A. at birthB. through educationC. both at birth and through educationD. through environment of one’s family33. If a child is born with high intelligence, he can .A. surely become a geniusB. still become a genius if he isn’t given good educationC. reach his intelligence limits through his own effortsD. probably reach his intelligence limits in rich and varied surroundings34. The example of the twins going to a university and to a factory separately shows .A. the importance of their intelligenceB. the role of environment on intelligenceC. the importance of their positionsD. the part that birth plays35. The best title of the passage can be .A. On IntelligenceB. On GeniusC. Dependence on EnvironmentD. Effect of Education on Intelligence第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出最佳选项。

If a person who lived 200 years ago was treated for a seizure（癫痫）today, they would be surprised by the treatment's freshness． That's because doctors in the 1800s were influenced more by original medical beliefs than science．Rather than thinking the brain caused seizures, people in the 1800s still thought they were the result of strange forces． They associated seizures with the work of evil spirits． Others felt that the seizures had a cosmic or lunar cause． They believed that the cycles of the moon and stars could make someone have a seizure．During a process to treat a patient who has seizures, doctors would force the patient to pray for the grace of the God． They thought if the patient did this, then the patient would rid themselves of the evil spirits causing the seizures．The arrival of modern psychiatry（精神病学） occurred during the 1800s． At that time people who suffered from seizures were placed in psychiatric hospitals． They were treated like they were mad． However, none of the out﹣of﹣date treatments worked．It wasn't until the late 1850s that the causes of seizures were understood． We know today that these causes are related to the brain． Misfired signals from the brain cause a jerking reflex（反射） in the body． These usually occur when someone is very tired．Once the causes of seizures were known, definitive treatments were developed．Today, treatments range from taking pills to having surgery． Treatment is personalized according to the type of seizure the patient has．Even today, some people are unsure about seizures． Their most common mistake is thinking that a person having a seizure will swallow their tongue． They often push some implement roughly in the person's mouth． However, this doesn't help． The implementoften blocks the airway and prevents the person from breathing． Yet most of the public no longer fear people who have seizures． Instead, they can now help and comfort a person if they have a seizure．（1）Why would someone from the past be surprised by today's treatments for seizures？________A Because they believed in scientific treatment for seizures．B Because they believed seizures were caused by strange forces in nature．C Because they believed there would be no cure for seizures．D Because they believed patient would treat seizures by himself．．（2）During the arrival of modern psychiatry， how were people treated in psychiatric hospitals？________A They were forced to ask the God for mercy．B They worked for the old﹣fashioned treatment．C They were considered senseless．D They were treated as evil spirits．．（3）Which of the following condition can cause a seizure？________A Rashes and other skin problems．B Infected wounds．C Stomach disorders．D Brain injuries．．（4）What's the best title of the passage？________A Symptoms Old and NewB Universal Forces or ScienceC Seizures Now and ThenD Treatments Effective or Not．5. How a few members of the animal kingdom handle the transition to adulthood?African elephantsThese beautiful beasts come close to imitate teen rebellion． Calves spend a decade with their mothers in female﹣dominated groups ﹣﹣﹣﹣ and ladies stay there ﹣﹣﹣﹣ but adolescent boys leave mom for noisy crews of bros． In their 20s, they often downsize to smaller male groups．Orangutans （猩猩）Slow metabolism allows these primates to survive food shortages ﹣﹣﹣﹣ times when weather makes ripe fruit scarce． But energy efficiency comes at a cost; growth and maturation take time． Orangutan mamas nurse their young longer than any other wild creature does．Orcas（逆戟鲸）Killer whales join their mother's familial group for life． This lasting﹣relationship seems to increase a pup's chance of survival; if mom dies, a young male （under 30）is three times more likely to die than a peer whose mother is alive． Risk of death post﹣mom﹣mortem rises as kids get older．Harp sealsA harp seal's "childhood" lasts just 12 days． A pup's sole purpose during that brief period of coddling（宠爱） is to constantly nurse, gaining a fifth of its birth weight in blubber（鲸脂） every day． Once it's fat ﹣﹣﹣﹣ they become greater from 25 to 80 pounds ﹣﹣﹣﹣it slides off the ice and takes on the sea．Wolf spidersEvery parent knows that tired toddlers love to hitch a piggyback ride． The wolf spider straps all her babies （40 or 50, on average） onto her back at once, carrying the brood until they are capable of fully functional spider﹣hood． But luckily she only has to pull them for a few days．（1）According to the passage， which animals take the biggest responsibility in raising their young？________A Harp seals．B African elephantsC Orcas．D Wolf spiders．．（2）What can we learn from the sentence "But luckily she only has to pull them for a few days"？________A Other grown wolf spiders will come to take care of the babies．B The toddlers are too heavy for parents to hitch a piggyback ride．C Baby spiders are able to live on their own after a short period of time．D Baby spiders can make full use of spider﹣hood before they leave their parents．．（3）Who will be interested in this passage？________A A student who is doing a project on animal growth．B A kid who is keen on animal watching．C A zoo﹣worker who is responsible for visitors' safety．D A doctor who specializes in animals' health．6. As advances in auto﹣technology have placed a huge number of self﹣driving machines on our roads and sidewalks, a side product has materialized in recent years: robot﹣babysitting．In Phoenix, human attendants will remotely monitor Google's upcoming Waymo robot﹣taxis, using the cars cameras to evaluate and adapt to passenger or road challenges． State safety regulations typically require that auto﹣vehicles be accompanied at all times by humans． These professionals' job titles range from "robot handler" to "safety driver, " but they have essentially the same responsibilities: monitoring robot behavior for safety and performance, and answering questions about the technology． Broadly speaking, robot﹣babysitting jobs fall under the umbrella of careers in automation, which include maintenance, engineering, and programming．However, some observers note that certain kinds of robot﹣babysitting ﹣﹣﹣ the kind that is boring and doesn't require much education ﹣﹣﹣ can make for thankless work． The safety drivers who sit in self﹣driving cars have described their roles as"exhausting" and "demanding, " and many told me about the constant pressure to stay________ at all times． "It's incredibly hard to sit in a chair and stare at a computer without doing anything for eight hours, " Ramsey said． "But you do not need a Ph．D． to do it．" In March 2018, the field of robot babysitting took a beating when a self﹣driving Uber in Tempe, Arizona, hit a 49﹣year old named Elaine Herzberg． Dashcam footage showed that Rafaela Vasquez, the car's safety driver, had not been looking at the road when the accident occurred． Investigators are deciding if Vasquez will be charged with murder．According to the McKinsey Global Institute, 10 million to 800 million jobs globally couldbe lost to automation by 2030． In the long term, it's inevitable that robot﹣babysitters will go the way of elevator operators and lamplighters． But they'll also birth new robot﹣related roles．"A huge number of jobs will be created as auto﹣vehicles are loosed into the environment, " Ramsey said． In 2016, Bosch started training students from Schoolcraft College, a community college in Michigan, in auto﹣vehicle repair: Toyota has trained students in maintenance as well． "We might even see a return to low﹣level jobs where people come and fuel the car for you, "Ramsey said． "Until we can wirelesslycharge, someone needs to refuel them．" The hardest﹣to﹣automate industries, as it happens, are the ones that require looking after humans: childcare, education, health﹣care aides． Robot babysitters might feel like they have gained the job of the future． But in fact, real babysitters might be better positioned．（1）Robot﹣babysitting jobs do NOT include________．A answering the questions about the technique．B observing the certain kinds of the robot﹣babysitter．C monitoring the potential problems of the auto﹣vehicles． D maintaining the vehicles which are out of order．．（2）The underlined word "vigilant" most probably means "________．"A gratefulB suspiciousC fitD alert．（3）According to Ramsey， what will happen when auto﹣vehicles are released into the market？________A A lot of opportunities will be created．B A large number of people will be out of work．C Auto﹣vehicles will become much cheaper．D Many people will turn to buying auto﹣cars．．（4）What's this passage mainly about？________A The Rise and Fall of Robot Babysitters．B The Future of Auto﹣Vehicles．C The Life and Employment of the Future．D The Position of Robot Babysitters．Section CDirections： Complete the following passage by using the sentences given below. Each sentence can be used only once. Note that there are two more sentences than you need.7.The North StarAmong the pile of stars in the universe， there are a couple that are of great importance to people on Earth． The sun， of course， is one of them． The other is known as Polaris，the North Star．（1）_______． Therefore， it is a great compass（指南针）．When people in the northern part of Earth look toward Polaris， they can be certain that they are facing north． The permanence of Polaris in the north sky has helped countless people find their destinations．Before the invention of modern navigation tools， sailors relied on Polaris． From the top of their ships， sailors would look for Polaris to figure out their place at sea． They figured out the angle between the star and the horizon to determine their latitude（纬度）． As long asthe equations were not wrong， the results were very reliable． Polaris also let sailors determine North， South， East， and West．（2）_______To those who sail at night， changeable storms and dark clouds were more than annoying things．（3）_______．It's possible for a captain to make an accidental wrong turn． The ship could become stranded at sea， and the frustrated captain would have no way to get the ship back on the right course． The sailor's fears wouldn't be relieved until the clouds cleared and Polaris came back into view． Even today， sailors sometimes choose to steer by using Polaris on clear nights．（4）_______． The Big Dipper， a constellation that is well known in astrology， appears to revolve around Polaris． The handle of the Big Dipper always points to the NorthStar． When people get lost， it's comforting to know that their problems can be relieved by looking at the sky．A． It's not difficult to tell the Polaris apart from the pile of other stars in the universe．B． People who are lost can be relieved by gazing up at Polaris．C． By knowing directions and their location， sailors could easily steer their ships．D． They could destroy entire journeys by blocking the view of Polaris．E． It's certain that the Polaris is part of a constellation（星座）， which is not far from it．F． It is special because it is the only star that always appears to be in the same place in the sky．IV.Summary Writing8. Directions： Read the following passage． Summarize in no more than 60 words the main idea of the passage and how it is illustrated． Use your own words as far as possible．Unfair ComparisonsThanks to social media， the distance between friends is smaller than ever． But does that make us happier？ Not necessarily． A recent study has found spending too much time comparing your life with the seemingly perfect lives of your friends on social media can result in depressive symptoms．We've all done it ﹣﹣﹣﹣ browsing through our WeChat friends' updates while feeling that green﹣eyed monster holding its head in our minds： Are their homes bigger and more tasteful？ Are their vacations more expensive and exciting？ Are their careers more successful and rewarding？Comparison is the thief of joy． The more time you spend on social media， the more likely it is for you to feel depressive symptoms， according to a new study out of University of Houston．The study， led by Mai﹣Ly Steers， examines the potential impact online social comparison can have on a person's mental health．"The underlying mechanism is social comparison，" Steers said． "The reason why you feel these feelings is that you tend to socially compare yourself with your friends．"This social comparison theory was popularized by US psychologist Leon Festinger in the 1950s． According to an article in The Atlantic， Festinger argued that people have born tendencies to track their progress and measure their self﹣worth by comparing themselves with other people． That social comparison leads to feelings of insignificance and insecurity． Research has since found that making social comparisons， especially upwardcomparisons （to people we think above us for whatever reason）， are associated with negative health outcomes like depressive symptoms and decreased self﹣esteem．"You can't really control the strong desire to compare because you never know what your friends are going to post． In addition， most of our friends tend to post about the good things that occur in their lives， while leaving out the bad． If we're comparing ourselves with our friends'‘sharable highlights'， this may lead us to think their lives are better than they actually are， and thus make us feel worse about our own lives．"So if you are the jealous type， maybe think about signing off of your WeChat for a while． Your well﹣being may depend on it．V.

However,none of the out-of-date treatments worked.It wasn’t until the late1850s that the causes of seizures were understood.We know today that these causes.are related to the brain.Misfired signals from the brain cause a jerking refer(反射)in the body.These usually occur when someone is very tired.Once the causes of seizures were known,definitive treatments were developed.Today, treatments range from taking pills to having surgery.Treatment is personalized according to the type of seizure the patient has.Even today,some people are unsure about seizures.Their most common mistake is thinking that a person having a seizure will swallow their tongue.They often push some implement roughly in the person's mouth.However,this doesn’t help.The implement often blocks the airway and prevents the person from breathing.Yet most of the public no longer fear people who have seizures.Instead,they can now help and comfort a person if they have a seizure.56.Why would someone from the past be surprised by today's treatments for seizures?A.Because they believed in scientific treatment for seizures.B.Because they believed seizures were caused by strange forces in nature.C.Because they believed there would be no cure for seizures.D.Because they believed patient would treat seizures by himself.57.During the arrival of modern psychiatry,how were people treated in psychiatric hospitals?A.They were forced to ask the God for mercy.B.They worked for the old-fashioned treatment.C.They were considered senseless.D.They were treated as evil spirits.58.Which of the following condition can cause a seizure?A.Rashes and other skin problems.B.Infected wounds.C.Stomach disorders.D.Brain injuries.59.What's the best title of the passage?A.Symptoms Old and NewB.Universal Forces or ScienceC.Seizures Now and ThenD.Treatments Effective or Not(B)How a few members of the animal kingdom handle the transition to adulthood?African elephantsThese beautiful beasts come close to imitate teen rebellion.Calves spend a decade with their mothers in female---dominated groups---and ladies stay there but adolescent boys leave mom for noisy crews of bros.In their20s,they often downsize to smaller male groups.Orangutans(猩猩)Slow metabolism allows these primates to survive food shortages times when weather makes ripe fruit scarce.But energy efficiency comes at a cost;growth and maturation take time.Orangutan mamas nurse their young longer than any other wild creature does.Oreas(逆载鲸)Killer whales join their mother's familial group for life.This lasting-relationship seems to increase a pup's chance of survival;if mom dies,a young male(under30)is three times more Iikely to die than a peer whose mother is alive.Risk of death post-mom-mortem rises as kids get older.Harp sealsA harp seal's“childhood”lasts just12days.A pup's sole purpose during.that brief period of coddling(宠爱)is to constantly nurse,gaining a fifth of its birth weight in blubber(鲸脂)every day. Once it's fat-they become greater from25to80pounds---it slides off the ice and takes on the sea. Wolf spidersEvery parent knows that tired toddlers love to hitch a piggyback ride.The wolf spider straps all her babies(40or50,on average)onto her back at once,carrying the brood until they are capable of fully functional spider-hood.But luckily she only has to pull them for a few days.60.According to the passage,which animals take the biggest responsibility in raising their young?A.Harp seals.B.African elephantsC.Oreas.D.Wolf spiders.61.What can we learn from the sentence“But luckily she only has to pull them for a few days?”A.Other grown wolf spiders will come to take care of the babies.B.The toddlers are too heavy for parents to hitch a piggyback ride.C.Baby spiders are able to live on their own after a short period of time.D.Baby spiders can make full use of spider-hood before they leave their parents.62.Who will be interested in this passage?A.A student who is doing a project on animal growth.B.A kid who is keen on animal watching.C.A zoo-worker who is responsible for visitors safety.D.A doctor who specializes in animals'health.(C)As advances in auto-technology have placed a huge number of self-driving machines on our roads and sidewalks,a side product has materialized in recent years:robot-babysitting.In Phoenix,human attendants w ill remotely monitor Google's upcoming Waymo robot-taxis,using the cars cameras to evaluate and adapt to passenger or road challenges.State safety regulations typically require that auto-vehicles be accompanied at all times by humans.These professionals job titles range from robot handler to safety driver,but they have essentially the same responsibilities:monitoring robot behavior for safety and performance,and answering questions about the technology.Broadly speaking, robot-babysitting jobs fall under the umbrella of careers in automation,which include maintenance, engineering,and programming.However,some observers note that certain kinds of robot-babysitting---the kind that is boring and doesn't require much education--can make for thankless work.The safety drivers who sit in self-driving cars have described their roles as“exhausting and demanding,"and many told me about the constant pressure to stay vigilant at all times.It's incredibly hard to sit in a chair and stare at a computer without doing anything for eight hours,"Ramsey said.But you do not need a Ph.D.to do it.In March 2018,the field of robot babysitting took a beating when a self-driving Uber in Tempe,Arizona,hit a 49-year old named Elaine Herzberg.Dashcam footage showed that Rafaela Vasquez,the car's safety driver,had not been looking at the road when the accident occurred.Investigators are deciding if Vasquez will be charged with murder.According to the McKinsey Global Institute,10million to800million jobs globally could be lost to automation by2030.In the long term,it's inevitable that robot-babysitters will go the way of elevator operators and lamplighters.But they'll also birth new robot related roles.A huge number of jobs will be created as auto-vehicles are loosed into the environment,"Ramsey said.In2016,Bosch started training students from Schooleraft College,a community college in Michigan,in auto-vehicle repair:Toyota has trained students in maintenance as well.We might even see a return to low-level jobs where people come and fuel the car for you,Ramsey said.Until we can wirelessly charge,someone needs to refuel them.The hardest-to-automate industries,as it happens,arc the ones that require looking after humans:childcare,education,health-care aides.Robot babysitters might feel like they have gained the job of the future.But in fact,real babysitters might be better positioned.63.Robot-babysitting jobs do NOT include________.A.answering the questions about the technique.B.observing the certain kinds of the robot-babysitter.C.monitoring the potential problems of the auto-vehicles.D.maintaining the vehicles which are out of order.64.The underlined word vigilant most probably means________.A.gratefulB.suspiciousC.fitD.alert65.According to Ramsey,what will happen when auto-vehicles are released into the market?A.A lot of opportunities will be created.B.A large number of people will be out of work.C.Auto-vehicles will become much cheaper.D.Many people will turn to buying auto-cars.66.What's this passage mainly about?A.The Rise and Fall of Robot Babysitters.B.The Future of Auto-Vehicles.C.The Life and Employment of the Future.D.The Position of Robot Babysitters.Section CDirections:Complete the following passage by using the sentences given below.Each sentence can be used only once.Note that there are two more sentences than you need.A.It's not difficult to tell the Polaris apart from the pile of other stars in the universe.B.People who are lost can be relieved by gazing up at Polaris.C.By knowing directions and their location,sailors could easily steer their ships.D.They could destroy entire journeys by blocking the view of Polaris.E.It's certain that the Polaris is part of a constellation(星座),which is not far from itF.It is special because it is the only star that always appears to be in the same place in the sky.The North StarAmong the pile of stars in the universe,there are a couple that are of great importance to peopleon Earth.The sun,of course,is one of them.The other is known as Polaris,the North Star.(67)__________.Therefore,it is a great compass(指南针).When people in the northern part of Earth look toward Polaris,they can be certain that they are facing north.The permanence of Polaris in the north sky has helped countless people find their destinations.Before the invention of modern navigation tools,sailors relied on Polaris.From the top of their ships,sailors would look for Polaris to figure out their place at sea.They figured out the angle between the star and the horizon to determine their latitude(EFQ).As long as the equations were not wrong,the results were very reliable.Polaris also let sailors determine North,South,East,and West.(68)__________To those who sail at night,changeable storms and dark clouds were more than annoying things.(69)__________:.It's possible for a captain to make an accidental wrong turn.The ship could become stranded at sea,and the frustrated captain would have no way to get the ship back on the right course.The sailor's fears wouldn't be relieved until the clouds cleared and Polaris came back into view. Even today,sailors sometimes choose to steer by using Polaris on clear nights.(70)__________.The Big Dipper,a constellation that is well known in astrology,appears to revolve around Polaris.The handle of the Big Dipper always points to the North Star.When people get lost,it's comforting to know that their problems can be relieved by looking at the sky.IV.Summary WritingDirections:Read the following passage.Summarize in no more than60words the main idea of the passage and how it is e your own words as far as possible.71.Unfair ComparisonsThanks to social media,the distance between friends is smaller than ever.But does that make us happier?Not necessarily.A recent study has found spending too much time comparing your life with the seemingly perfect lives of your friends on social media can result in depressive symptoms.We've all done it---browsing through our WeChat friends updates while feeling that green-eyed monster holding its head in our minds:Are their homes bigger and more tasteful?Are their vacations more expensive and exciting?Are their careers more successful and rewarding?Comparison is the thief of joy.The more time you spend on social media,the more likely it is for you to feel depressive symptoms,according to a new study out of University of Houston.The study, led by Mai-Ly Steers,examines the potential impact online social comparison can have on a person's mental health.The underlying mechanism is social comparison,"Steers said.The reason why you feel these feelings is that you tend to socially compare yourself with your friends.This social comparison theory was popularized by US psychologist Leon Festinger in the1950s. According to an article in The Atlantic,Festinger argued that people have born tendencies to track their progress and measure their self-worth by comparing themselves with other people.That social comparison leads to feelings of insignificance and insecurity.Research has since found that making social comparisons,especially upward comparisons to people we think above us.for whatever reason), are associated with negative health outcomes like depressive symptoms and decreased self-esteem.You can't really control the strong desire to compare because you never know what your friends are going to post,In addition,most of our friends tend to post about the good things that occur in their lives,while leaving out the bad.If we're comparing ourselves with our friends"sharable highlights",this may lead us to think their lives are better than they actually are,and thus make us fee1worse about our own lives."So if you are the jealous type,maybe think about signing off of your WeChat for a while. Your well-being may depend on itV.TranslationDirections:Translate the following sentences into English,using the words given in the brackets.72.尽管他已经非常尽力,他还是没能弥补损失。
