Platforms like Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram have become an integral part of our daily lives, allowing us to stay connected with friends and family, as well as share our thoughts and experiences with the world. However, this constant connectivity has also raised concerns about the negative impact it can have on our mental health.One of the main issues associated with social media is the pressure tomaintain a perfect online image. Many individuals feel the need to constantly post about their achievements, travels, and social life in order to receive likes and comments from their followers. This can lead to feelings of inadequacy and low self-esteem, especially among teenagers who are more vulnerable to these pressures. In addition, the constant exposure to idealized images of others can create unrealistic expectations and a sense of dissatisfaction with one’s own life.Another concern is the potential for social media to foster cyberbullying. With the anonymity provided by these platforms, individuals may feel emboldened to engage in harmful behavior towards others. This can have severe consequences for the victims, leading to anxiety, depression, and even suicidal thoughts in some cases.Despite these challenges, social media can also have positive effects on our mental health. It allows us to maintain and strengthen relationships, seek support from others, and share our experiences with those who may be going through similar struggles. In fact, some studies have shown that social media can be a valuable tool for mental health support and community building.Questions:1.What is the main purpose of the passage?A.

Enhanced communication skills.D. Cyberbullying.3.According to the passage, who is more vulnerable to the pressures of social media?A. Adults.B. Seniors.C. Teenagers.D. Children.4.What is the potential consequence of cyberbullying mentioned in the passage?A. Improved self-esteem.B. Anxiety and depression.C. Enhanced social skills.D.

From shopping online to communicating with friends, it has revolutionized the way we live and work. However, along with its many benefits, the Internet also brings about various challenges. One of the most significant challenges is the issue of cyberbullying.Cyberbullying refers to the use of electronic communication to harass, intimidate, or harm others. It can take many forms, such as sending threatening messages, spreading rumors, or posting cruel comments online. Unfortunately, cyberbullying is a growing problem, especially among young people. Many students suffer from cyberbullying, which can have severe consequences on their mental health and social well-being.The reasons for cyberbullying are complex. Some individuals may engage in cyberbullying due to personal insecurities or a desire for power and control. Others may do so out of boredom or to seek attention. Regardless of the reasons, cyberbullying is a serious matter that should not be taken lightly.To combat cyberbullying, schools and parents need to work together. Schools should implement strict anti-bullying policies and provide education programs to raise awareness about the issue. Parents should also keep an open line of communication with their children and monitor their online activities. It is crucial to teach children about the importance of empathy and respect towards others.Questions:1.The Internet has_______the way we live and work.A. changedB. improvedC. affectedD. damagedAnswer: A六、语言运用第二节 _ 语法填空（15分）填空题目：st weekend, I decided to visit the local museum___________my family.A. withB. withoutC. forD. to答案：A七、写作第一节 _ 应用文写作（15分）七、写作第一节应用文写作Write a letter to your friend, Mr. Wang, to express your gratitude for his help in preparing for the upcoming English examination.
