Part A

Section 1: Multiple Choice

In this section, you will read several passages. Each passage is followed

by several questions. Choose the best answer for each question and mark the

corresponding letter (A, B, C or D) on the Answer Sheet.

Passage 1

Questions 1-3 are based on the following passage.

A recent survey conducted in Jiangsu Province gathered data on the

daily habits of students in different grades. The results show that a majority

of students spend an average of 3 to 4 hours per day on their smartphones.

This excessive screen time not only affects their academic performance but

also poses health risks.

According to the survey, the main reason for excessive smartphone use

among students is social media. They spend a significant amount of time

browsing through social media platforms, such as WeChat and Weibo,

which greatly distracts them from focusing on their studies. As a result, their

homework completion rate decreases and their grades suffer.

Furthermore, the prolonged use of smartphones has been linked to

various health issues. Students who spend more time on their phones are

prone to experiencing eye strain, sleep disorders, and poor posture. These health problems not only affect their physical well-being but also impact

their ability to concentrate and learn effectively.

In order to address this issue, experts suggest that parents and teachers

play a crucial role in guiding students to develop healthy smartphone habits.

They should encourage students to limit their screen time, engage in

physical activities, and create a balanced daily routine that includes both

studying and leisure activities. By doing so, students can improve their

academic performance and overall well-being.

Athlete's foot, also known as tinea pedis, is a common fungal infection

and result in more severe infections.

This includes keeping your feet clean, dry, and well-ventilated. Avoid

walking barefoot in public areas such as locker rooms and showers, and

make sure to wear clean socks and shoes that allow your feet to breathe.

If you suspect you have athlete's foot, it is recommended to see a
