The negative impact of social media on mental health has been well documented，with studies showing a direct correlation between frequent social media use and symptoms of anxiety and depression. As we become more reliant on social media as a primary means of communication，however，it is important to recognize that this convenience comes with a cost.One of the most significant dangers of social media is the constant need to seek approval from others. Social media users are constantly posting updates and photos to receive “likes”and positive feedback from their friends and family. This constant need for validation can lead to feelings of loneliness and inadequacy when one does not receive the desired response. Additionally，social media is designed to keep users engaged，which means that people often find themselves scrolling through newsfeeds for hours on end. This prolonged engagement not only impacts one’s productivity but also干扰one’s ability to disconnect and enjoy real-world activities. Furthermore，the constant comparison of oneself to others on social media can lead to negative body image and self-esteem issues.Perhaps most concerning，however，is the fact that social media is a breeding ground for online harassment and cyberbullying. With the ease of online anonymity，people feel free to say things they would never say in person，which can lead to highly abusive and destructive behavior. This type of behavior not only affects the victims but also creates a toxic environment for all users，leading to more negative and polarizing discourse online.In conclusion，while social media can be an effective tool for staying connected with others，it is important to use it responsibly and in moderation. Recognizing the potential harm it can cause to one’s mental health and avoiding its negative effects are crucial as we continue to integrate social media into our dly lives. Only through awareness and responsible use can we truly reap the benefits of this powerful platform while mitigating the risks involved.。

And to each person his name is important because it is what he is known by.Remember how you don't like it if people fail to remember your name, or pronounce it wrong? Remember how you like seeing your own name printed in the newspaper or even on the blackboard at school? That's because it is your own name and you are represented by it.Of course, names aren't important themselves. But they are useful in our life. You don't have to go around shouting, "Hey, you!" or "Hell, Girl-with-the-red-hair." A person's name does mean something. For example, John means "present". James means "he follows after". Frank means "free". Mary means "star of the sea". Helen means "light", Edith, "happiness". Rhoda is a "rose".Now first names are all we need when we're at home. For it is unlikely that sisters or brothers have the same first name. But it's different when you go out. You may have a lot of Johns and Davids and Sues. You could get all mixed up not knowing who was who. That's why last names started. And last names are really nicknames (绰号).It happened like this: There was a certain Richard. Since his father's name was James, he was called "Richard, son of James", and later just "Richard Jameson".The place where they lived gave some people their last names. For example, Mr. Short was talking about Joseph."Which Joseph?" someone might ask."Why, the Joseph who lives in the field."And right then that Joseph had a last name: Joseph Field.题目选项：26. If your name is pronounced wrong, you will probably _______.A、feel badB、not mind1C、feel happyD、be surprised正确答案：A27. Your name is useful to you because _______.A、you can be called by name but not something elseB、it means something1C、it will bring you fortuneD、it can show your nature正确答案：A28. Usually a person is called by his or her _______ at home.A、nicknameB、last name1C、full nameD、first name正确答案：D29. Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the text?A、Brothers and sisters often call each other by their full names.1B、"Jameson" is usually used as a person's first name.C、Parents often call their children by their nicknamesD、Last names can help to distinguish one people from another.正确答案：D30. Which of the following is the best title for the passage?A、NamesB、First Names, Last Names and Nicknames1C、Meanings of NamesD、How Some Names Come into Being正确答案：APassage 3Music is a very important part of our lives. Music is for dancing, drinking, eating, loving and thinking. Some songs make us think of our childhood or youth. Others make us think of the people we love. Many important occasions (场合), like weddings (婚礼) and funerals (葬礼), have special music. Every nation has a national song like the American "The Star-Spangled Banner" (《星条旗之歌》).In the US, high schools and colleges have school songs too. Music is a part of the history of America. It expresses the problems and feelings of its people.As the years pass, the music grows and changes. Modern science has also changed music. Inventions like records, radio, movies, electric instruments (乐器), tape recorders and videos have changed the way we play and listen to music. They have helped to make music an important form of communication around the world.Music is one of American's most important exports (输出). American Music, from the earliest folk songs to modern "pop", is known around the world. Even when people cannot understand the same language, they can share the same music.Many people learn and practise English by singing songs.

It is as vital (至关重要的) to her as her purse. Yet, she doesn't wear glasses. The reason she can't do without it is that she can't read and she can't write. If ever she gets into any situation where she might be expected to do either of these things, she fishes around in her bag for the spectacles case, finds it's empty, and asks the person concerned (有关的) to do the reading for her. Until a few months ago hardly anybody knew about her problem. Her husband didn't know and her children didn't know. The children still don't know.She had a number of tactics (策略) for hiding her difficulty－for example, never lingering (逗留) near a phone at work, in case she had to answer it and might be required to write something down.It never occurred to the children that their mother cannot read. She doesn't read them stories, but their father doesn't either, so they find nothing surprising in the fact. Similarly they just accept that Dad is one who writes the sick notes and reads the school reports. Now that the elder boy Tom is quite a proficient（精通的）reader, Brenda can skillfully get him to read any notes brought home from school simply by asking, "What's that all about?" Brenda's husband never guessed the truth in their ten years of marriage. For one thing, he insists on handling all domestic (家庭的) correspondence (信件) and bills (帐单) himself. A salesman for a large company, he travels a great deal and so is not around so much to find the truth. While he is away Brenda copes with any situations by explaining that she can't do anything until she's discussed it with her husband.Brenda was very successful in her job until recently. For the last five years she has worked as waitress at an expensive restaurant, and has eventually been promoted (提升) to head waitress. She kept the thing a secret there too, and got over the practical difficulties.题目选项：31.

(10 points)More than half a century ago the idea of disabled people doing sports was never heard of. But when the annual games for the disabled were started at Stoke Mandeville, England in 1948 by Sir Ludwig Guttmann, the situation began to change.Sir Ludwig Guttmann, who had been driven to England, in 1939 from Germany, had been asked by the British government to set up an injury center at Stoke Mandeville Hospital near London. His ideas about treating injuries included sport for the disabled.In the first games just two teams of injured soldiers took part. The next year, five teams took part. From those beginnings, things have developed fast. Teams now come from abroad to Stoke Mandeville every year. In 1960 the first Olympics for Disabled were held in Rome, in the same place as the normal Olympic Games. Now, every four years the Olympic Games for the Disabled are held, if possible, in the same place as the normal Olympic Games, although they are organized separately. In other years the Games for the Disabled are still held at Stoke Mandeville. In the 1984 wheelchair Olympic Games, 1,064 wheelchair athletes from about 40 countries took part. Unfortunately, they were held at Stoke Mandeville and not Los Angeles, along with the other Olympics.The person who started the annual games for the disabled: (41)___________ The task Sir Ludwig Guttmann was asked to do: (42)____________The interval (间隔时间) between early games for the disabled: (43)______________The place where the 1960 Olympic Games were held: (44)_______________ The place where the 1984 wheelchair Olympic games were held: (45)_____________正确答案：41.

Reading Comprehension (40%)AEveryone knows that the favorite food in the United States is the hamburger. It seems impossible, but people eat 34 billion hamburgers a year. This is enough to make a line of hamburgers around the world four times.The favorite place to buy a hamburger is a fast-food restaurant. In these restaurants, people order their food, wait just a few minutes, and carry it to their tables themselves. They can eat it in the restaurant or take the food out and eat it at home, at work, or in a park. At some restaurants people can drive up beside a window. They order the food,and a worker hands it to them through the window. They order the food, and a worker hands it to them through the window. Then they eat in their cars.Hamburgers are not the only kind of food that fast-food restaurants serve. Some serve fish, chicken, beef sandwiches, or Mexican food. They also serve fries, shakes, soft drinks, and coffee.Fast-food restaurants are very popular because the service is fast and the food is inexpensive. For many people, this is more important than quality of the food. These restaurants are also popular because the food is always the same. People know that if they eat at a company’s restaurant in the north or south of the city, the food will be the same. If they eat in New York or San Francisco, it will still be the same.Fast service and low cost are important in the United States. One reason is that about 50 percent of all married women with children work outside the home. They are too busy and too tired to cook dinner every night.Is the food at fast-food restaurants good for you? In general, it is all right, except that it ahs too much fat and salt.One thing is sure. People will continue to eat fast foods. In fact, now there are fast-food restaurants in countries all over the world.1. In a fast-food restaurant, people ___________?A. stand up to eatB. are served at tableC. eat in a hurryD. serve themselves2.

Which of the following sentences is not correct?A. The service is fat and the food is cheap in fast-food restaurants.B. More people like eating fast foodC.

Mothers who work outside home often have meals in fast-food restaurants.BMrs. Peters stopped playing the piano when she began to work. She had lived in a very small flat(公寓), and there had been no room for a piano. But when she married, she had a new flat which was big enough for one. So she decided to get one and her husband agreed and helped her. She saved some money, and her parents gave her a generous amount of money for her birthday. Then she went to a shop and said, “I’ll choose whichever piano does not cost too much and fits into my living room.”When she had paid for the piano, the shop assistant asked her if she would like him to get it tuned (调音) every few months. Mrs. Peters agreed.A few months later she heard from the shop that a man was coming to tune the piano at ten that morning. Now she had not cleaned the house yet, so it was dusty and untidy. Mrs. Peters hated having even the least amount of dirt, and felt ashamed whenever strange people saw her house like that. So she had to hurry to clean everything carefully. It meant a lot of effort, and it made her hot and tired, but anyhow, by the time the man arrived everything was finished.She opened the door, and the man was standing there with a big dog. “Good morning,” the man said politely, “will it disturb（打扰） you if I bring my dog in, please? I’m blind, and he leads me wherever I go.”6. Mrs. Peters stopped playing the piano______.A. because she began to workB. when she had no room to live inC. because her flat was too small for a pianoD. when she got married7. Mrs. Peter was soon able to buy a piano because ______.A. her parents gave her all the money for itB. she saved enough money for itC. her husband gave her the moneyD. she saved some money and her relatives gave her the rest8. One morning, ______.A. the man was coming to tune her pianoB. Mrs. Peters received a telephone call from the shopC. The piano was sent to her house at 10D. Mrs. Peters was going to clean the house9. “It meant a lot of effort, and it made her hot and tired.” Here, “it” refers to______.A. hating dirtB. cleaning everythingC. waiting for the manD. feeling ashamed of the dirty and untidy house.10. Mrs. Peters had wasted her time getting everything clean as ______.A. the dog would dirty the houseB. the piano tuner could see nothing in the houseC. the dog disturbed Mrs. PetersD. the piano tuner always took the dogCWe know that we have to pay for what we get. If we buy food , we have to pay for it. If a doctor treats us, we know there will be a bill to pay. These are private bills. But there are also public bills that must be paid. Public bills are paid for by the government. In return we get needed services. We all use these services without thinking how we get them, but such services cost money. We pay for these services through taxes.What would happen if everyone in a city stopped paying taxes? The water supply would stop. Water might even become unclean and impure. The streets might not be cleaned. There would no police force to protect people and property. Schools would be closed. People will become sick and disease might spread. We would not want to live in such a city. We all want pure water and food, clean streets, and good schools. We want police to protect us from crime.These services are expensive. The bills get larger each year. We spend public money today for services that we did not have fifty ears ago. For instance, we now use public money to help stop accidents in mines and shops and to help harmers.The chief duty of every government is to protect persons and property. More than three-fourths of the money spent by our government is used for this purpose. The next largest amount of public money goes in teaching and training our citizen. Billions of dollars each year are spent on schools and libraries. Public money is use to pay the teachers and other public officials. Also, a large amount of public fund is spent on roads.The greatest part of the needed funds is raised by taxes. A tax is the money that we all must pay to support the government. The law orders us to pay taxes. We have no choice in the matter. Almost everyone pays some tax in one form or another.Years ago, the government made money form the sale of public lands. But most of the best public lands have now been sold. The money raised was used to help pay the costs of the government. There are still some public lands that contain oil, coal, gas, and other natural products. They could be sold. But we want to save them for future years. So, we all must pay our share for services that make our lives comfortable.11. Who actually pays for the public bills?A. The publicB. The societyC. The governmentD. Both A and C12. Why should everyone pay taxes?A. Because water might even become unclean and impure.B. Because streets might not be cleaned and schools would be closed.C. Because people would become sick and disease might spreadD. Because the government would have funds to work for the welfare of people13. The largest amount of public money is used to ______.A. protect persons and propertyB. stop accidents in minesC. pay the teachersD. build roads14. Which of the following about taxes is not true?A. It’s lawful that everyone pays taxes.B. The taxes raised are used for supporting the government.C. Everyone has his right to make a decision in the matter.D. The government spent a large amount of money on road building.15. Why did the government sell public lands years ago?A. Because those public lands were not rich in natural resources.B. Because the government wanted to benefit from the sale of lands.C. Because the government had to pay all kinds of costs.D. Because people needed lands to build their houses.DAs he closed his service station at 1:20 one Sunday morning, Tony Payseur set on the ground a metal cash box containing $7 000.

We want them to be confident and content.What can parents do to help their kids grow up tolead happy, productive lives? Experts advise:1. Helping them find their talents. In order to flourish, children need to feel they are good at something. But sometimes parents need to nudge their kids to help them find their niche (合适的位置). So expose your children to as many interests as possible, then let them choose those they like best.2. Applauding their accomplishments. A study found that students whose parents fussed over their abilities were far more likely to do well in school—and in life—than students whose parents didn't show such support. So celebrate your kids' achievements, no matter how small and find a place to prominently display their trophies, awards and artwork. These reminders of past achievements will give your child the self-assurance he needs to meet the next challenge.3. Giving them responsibilities. Responsibilities help youngsters grow into mature, competent and self-motivated adults. So assign your children household chores when they are young—even four-year-olds can pitch in by picking up their dirty clothes and helping to set the table.4. Letting them make decisions and mistakes. Making their own decisions increases a child's sense of control and boosts their self-esteem. And allowing kids to make wrong decisions—so long as doing so won't harm them—helps kids learn from their mistakes.5. Encouraging them to solve their own problems. As they grow, children need practice in communicating, standing up for themselves and compromising. One of the best places to learn these skills is at home. So the next time your child runs to you complaining that her brother is picking on her, step back and let them work it out. Of course,you'll need to enforce a few ground rules such asno swearing or hitting. But, for the most part, tryto stay out of it.6. Enjoying them. Do things with your kids, notjust for them. Tell them over and over howimportant they are to you and how much they pleaseyou. And laugh with them every day. All of thistells kids they are important, which helps them todevelop a positive, confident self-image that canlast a lifetime.91. Children are likely to do well in school iftheir parents ________________.A) have high expectations on themB) appreciate their achievementsC) put great pressure on themexpand their range of interestD)92. Parents can assign children housework________________.A) when they are teenagersB) so as to relieve themselvesC) so as to enhance children's sense of responsibilityso as to share the heavy houseworkD)93. Which of the following statements is true?A) Parents should stand up for children whenever they are needed.B) Parents should try to settle the dispute among children.C) Parents should stay out of any conflict among children.D) Parents should encourage children to communicate with each other.94. It's advised by experts that children should________________.A) try every means to please parentsB) be entitled to make family decisionsC) be encouraged to solve their own problemsD)learn to make good decisions at an early age95. In writing this passage, the writer means to________________.A) criticize some wrong ideas held by parentsB) comment on some popular ways of family educationC) present some good ways of handling troublesome childrenD) offer parents some good suggestions on children education Exceptional children are different in somesignificant way from others of the same age. Forthese children to develop to their full adultpotential, their education must be adapted tothose differences.Although we focus on the needs of exceptionalchildren, we find ourselves describing theirenvironment as well. While the leading actor on thestage captures our attention, we are aware of theimportance of the supporting players and thescenery of the play itself. Both the family and thesociety in which exceptional children live areoften the key to their growth and development. Andit is in the public schools that we find the fullexpression of society's understanding—theknowledge, hopes, and fears that are passed on to the next generation.Education in any society is a mirror of that society. In that mirror we can see the strengths, the weaknesses, the hopes, the prejudices, and the central values of the culture itself. The great interest in exceptional children shown in public education over the past three decades indicates the strong feeling in our society that all citizens, whatever their special conditions, deserve the opportunity to fully develop their capabilities."All men are created equal." We've heard it many times, but it still has important meaning for education in a democratic society. Although the phrase was used by this country's founders to denote equality before the law, it has also been interpreted to mean equality of opportunity. That concept implies educational opportunity for all children—the right of each child to receive help in learning to the limits of their capacity, whether that capacity is small or great. Recent court decisions have confirmed the right of all children—disabled or not—to an appropriate education, and have ordered that public schools take necessary steps to provide that education. In response, schools are modifying their programmes, adapting instruction to children who are exceptional, to those who cannot profit substantially from regular programmes.96.

Do you keep your eyes upon thedoughnut, not upon the hole? Suddenly theseclichés are scientific questions, as researchersscrutinize (仔细检查) the power of positivethinking. Research is proving that optimism canhelp you to be happier, healthier and moresuccessful. Pessimism leads, by contrast, tohopelessness, sickness and failure, and is linkedto depression, loneliness and painful shyness. Ifwe could teach people to think more positively, itwould be like inoculating (注射预防针) themagainst these mental ills.Your habits count, but the belief that you cansucceed affects whether or not you will. In part,that's because optimists and pessimists deal withthe same challenges and disappointments in verydifferent ways. When things go wrong the pessimisttends to blame himself. "I'm not good at this." "Ialways fail." He would say. But the optimist looksfor loopholes. Negative or positive, it is aself-fulfilling prophecy. If people feel hopelessthey don't bother to acquire the skills they needto succeed.A sense of control is the litmus test (试金石) forsuccess. The optimist feels in control of their ownlife. If things are going badly, they act quickly,looking for solutions, forming a new plan ofaction, and reaching out for advice. The pessimistfeels like fate's plaything and moves slowly. Theydon't seek advice, since they assume nothing canbe done. Many studies suggest that the pessimist'sfeeling of helplessness undermines the body'snatural defences, the immune system. Research hasfound that the pessimist doesn't take good care ofthemselves. Feeling passive and unable to dodgelife's blows, they expect ill health and othermisfortunes, no matter what they do. They munches(大力嚼) on junk food, avoid exercise, ignore thedoctor, have another drink.Most people are a mix of optimism and pessimism,but are inclined in one direction or the other. Itis a pattern of thinking learned at our mothers'knees. It grows out of thousands of cautions or encouragements, negative statements or positivesones. Too many "don'ts" and warnings of danger canmake a child feel incompetent, fearful, andpessimistic. Pessimism is a hard habit to break,but it can be done.101.
