第15练 阅读理解＋写作 Ⅰ.阅读理解 A Facebook remains the most used social media site among American teens from 13 to 17，according to the latest study from the New Research Center.And，surprisingly，boys visit the site more often than girls. Aided hugely by smart－phones and other mobile devices，71 percent of teens surveyed said they use Facebook，with the same percentage saying they use more than one social network of seven options they were asked about.Half the teens said they also use Instagram and 4 in 10 said they used Snapchat. Among 22 per cent of teens who use just one site，66 per cent use Facebook，13 percent use Google Plus，13 percent are Instagram users and 3 percent use Snapchat.Facebook was the site they used most frequently，at 41 percent，followed by Instagram at 20 percent and Snapchat at 11 percent.Boys are more likely than girls to report they visit Facebook most often—at 45 percent versus 36 percent of girls. Teens from households with earnings of less than $50，000 are more likely to use Facebook the most—49 percent compared with 37 percent of teens from households with earnings of $50，000 or more. As far as how much time is spent on social media，24 percent of teens overall go online “almost constantly，” the study said，with 56 per cent saying they go online several times a day and 12 per cent reporting once－a－day use. Among other sites the 1，060 teens were asked about are Twitter，Vine and Tumblr.33 percent said they use Twitter and Google Plus，while 24 percent said they use Vine and 14 percent said Tumblr.6 percent said they use Twitter most often. 【语篇解读】 一项研究显示，使用Facebook进行通讯交流的青少年依然占据大多数，其中男生又多于女生。 1．According to the new study，we can learn that ________． A．most teens generally go online several times a day B．71 percent of teens go online almost constantly C．using social media brought children more risks than benefits D．girls tend to visit Facebook more frequently than boys 答案 A [细节理解题。根据倒数第二段最后一句中的“the study said，with 56 percent saying they go online several times a day”可知，研究表明，大部分青少年一天上几次网。] 2．Which has the fewest users among teens who use just one site?

In many countries lunch－time is a sacred meal：a time when families come together to eat a hearty meal.However，as you will soon notice，lunch is not the most important meal of the day in the US.For most people lunch－time is squeezed in where it can be，the 30 minutes given to them by their job or before their next class.It is quite common to see people eating outside，wherever they can，or even having food with them to snack on during the day. Another big shock for many when they arrive in the US is the “doggy bag” culture.“Doggy bag” culture refers to the fact that when you go out to eat at a restaurant and do not finish your meal (because the portions are huge！) you can ask for a box to take the leftover food home. The idea of tipping in the US is supposed to be an act of generosity.If you have found your favorite restaurant near campus and want to become a regular customer，make sure to tip at every visit or you may not get the best service the next time you go.It is important to note that at fast food restaurants tips are not expected，and it is usually at any sit－down restaurant. 【语篇解读】 饮食习惯在世界各地迥异，读读此文，看看如何做到像一个地道的美国人去餐馆就餐。 5．According to Paragraph 1，international students arrive on campus in the US may feel ________． A．surprised B．nervous C．embarrassed D．upset 答案 A [推理判断题。根据第一段第一句中的“they are amazed at invitations to a variety of welcome events”可知，初到美国的国际生看到各种各样的欢迎活动会惊讶不已。故选A项。] 6．What can be inferred from Paragraph 2?
