This essay aims to explore the positive and negative effects that social media has on interpersonal relationships.Firstly, social media platforms facilitate communication between individuals, allowing them to connect and reconnect with others easily. Distance is no longer a barrier, and people can maintain relationships with friends and family across the globe. This has greatly enriched the quality and diversity of relationships. Moreover, social media provides a platform for sharing personal experiences and emotions, which strengthens the bond between individuals.On the other hand, excessive use of social media can lead to negative consequences in relationships. As individuals become overly engrossed invirtual interactions, they may neglect face-to-face communication with their loved ones. This can create a sense of detachment and hinder the development of more profound connections. In addition, the portrayal of idealized lives on social media often leads to comparison and envy, which can cause strain in relationships.To mitigate the negative impact of social media on relationships, it is essential for individuals to strike a balance between online and offline interactions. Allocating dedicated time for face-to-face communication and minimizing distractions from smartphones and social media would contribute to the cultivation of stronger relationships. Furthermore, individuals should actively reflect upon the authenticity and validity of the information presented on social media to prevent negative emotions from affecting their perceptions of relationships.In conclusion, social media has a significant influence on relationships. While it has the potential to enhance and strengthen connections, caution should be exercised to avoid its adverse effects. By utilizing social media responsibly and maintaining a healthy balance, individuals can foster and preserve meaningful relationships in the digital era.四、完形填空41. D) criticize42. C) essentially43.

下半年英语CET4测试试题及答案2017下半年英语CET4测试试题及答案As long as the road is right, that is far away.以下是店铺为大家搜索整理的2017下半年英语CET4测试试题及答案，希望能给大家带来帮助!For an increasing number of students at American universities, Old is suddenly in. The reason is obvious: the graying of America means jobs, coupled with the aging of the baby-boom (生育高峰) generation, a longer life span means that the nation’s elderly population is bound to expand significantly over the next 50 years. By 2050, 25 percent of all Americans will be older than 65, up from 14 percent in 1995. The change poses profound questions for government and society, of course. But it also creates career opportunities in medicine and health professions, an d in law and business as well. “In addition to the doctors, we’re going to need more sociologists, biologists, urban planners and specialized lawyers,” says Professor Edward Schneider of the University of Southern California’s (USC) School of Gerontology (老年学).Lawyers can specialize in “elder law,” which covers everything from trusts and estates to nursing-home abuse and age discrimination (歧视). Businessmen see huge opportunities in the elder market because the baby boomers, 74 million strong, are likely to be the wealthiest group of retirees in human history. “Any student who combines an expert knowledge in gerontology with, say, an MBA or law degree will have a license to print money,” one professor says.Margarite Santos is a 21-year-old senior at USC. She began college as a biology major but found she was “really bored withbacteria.” So she took a class in gerontology and discovered that she lied it. She says, “I did volunteer work in retirement homes and it was very satisfying.”1. “...Old is suddenly in” (Line 1, Para. 1) most probably means “________”.A) America has suddenly become a nation of old peopleB) gerontology has suddenly become popularC) more elderly professors are found on American campusesD) American colleges have realized the need of enrolling older students2. With the aging of America, lawyers can benefit ________.A) from the adoption of the “elder law”B) from rendering special services to the elderlyC) by enriching their professional knowledgeD) by winning the trust of the elderly to promote their own interests3. Why can businessmen make money in the emerging elder market?A) Retirees are more generous in spending money.B) They can employ more gerontologists.C) The elderly possess an enormous purchasing power.D) There are more elderly people working than before.4. Who can make big money in the new century according to the passage?A) Retirees who are business-minded.B) The volunteer workers in retirement homes.C) College graduates with an MBA or law degree.D) Professionals with a good knowledge of gerontology.5. It can be seen from the passage that the expansion of America’s elderly population ________.A) will provide good job opportunities in many areasB) will impose an unbearable burden on societyC) may lead to nursing home abuse and age discriminationD) will create new fields of study in universities参考答案：1. B2. B3. C4.D5. A。

You are required to select one word for each blank from a list of cho即es given in a word bank following the passage. Read the passage through carefully before making your choices. Each choice in the bank is identified by a letter. Please mark the corresponding letter for each item on Answer Sheet 2 with a single line through the centre. You may not use any of the words in the bank more than once. The method for making beer has changed over time. Hops (啤酒花），for example, which give many a modern beer its bitter flavor, are a26 recent addition to the beverage. This was f1ISt mentioned in reference to brewing in the ninth century. Now, researchers have found a 27 ingredient in residue (残留物）from 5 , 000-year-old beer brewing equipment. While digging two pits at a site in the central plains of China , scientists discovered fragments from pots and vessels. The different shapes of the containers 28 they were used to brew, filter, and store beer. They may be ancient "beer-making tools," and the earliest29 evidence of beer brewing in China, the researchers reported in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences. To30 that theory, the team examined the yellowish, dried 31 inside the vessels. The majority of the grains, about 80% , were from cereal crops like barley (⼤麦），and about 10% were bits of roots, 32lily, which would have made the beer sweeter, the scientists say. Barley was an unexpected find: the crop was domesticated in Western Eurasia and didn't become a —33 food in central China until about 2,000 years ago, according to the researchers. Based on that timing, they indicate barley may have 34 in the region not as food, but as35 material for beer brewing.

Each paragraph is marked with a letter. Answer the questionsby marking the corresponding letter on Answer Sheet 2.The Blessing and Curse of the People who Never ForgetA handful of people can recall al叩st every day of their lives in enormous detail—and after years of research , neuroscientists are finally beginning to understand how they do it.A)For most of us, memory is a mess of blurred and faded pictures of our lives. As much as we would like to clingon to our past, even the saddest moments can be washed away with time.B)Ask Nima Veiseh what he was doing for any day in the past 15 years, however, and he will give you the detailsof the weather, what he was wearing, or even what side of the train he was sitting on his journey to work. "My memory is like a library of video tapes, walk-throughs of every day of my life from waking to sleeping," he explains.C)V e iseh can even put a date on when those tapes started recording :15 December 2000 ,when he met his fastgirlfriend at his best friend's 16th birthday party. He had always had a good memory, but the thrill of young love seems to have shifted a gear in his mind :from now on, he would start recording his whole life in detail. " I could tell you everything about every day after that. "D)Needless to say, people like Veiseh are of great interest to neuroscientists (神经科学专家）hoping to understandthe way the brain records our lives. A couple of recent papers have finally opened a window on these people's extraordinary minds. And such research might even suggest ways for us all to relive our past with greater clarity.E)"Highly superior autobiographical memory" (or HSAM for short) , first came to light in the early 2000s, with ayoung woman named Jill Price. E-mailing the neuroscientist and memory researcher Jim McGaugh one day, she 迦med that she could recall every day of her life since the age of 12. Could he help explain her experiences?F)McGaugh invited her to his lab, and began to test her: he would give her a date and ask her to tell him about theworld events on that day. True to her word, she was correct almost every time.G)It didn't take long for magazines and documentary film-makers to come to understand her "total recall," andthanks to the subsequent media interest, a few dozen other subjects (including V e iseh) have since come forward and contacted the team at the University of California, Irvine.H)Interestingly, their memories are highly self-centred: although they can remember "autobiographical" life eventsin extraordinary detail, they seem to be no better than average at recalling impersonal information, such as random (任意选取的）lists of words. Nor are they necessarily better at remembering a round of drinks, say.And although their memories are vast, they are still likely to suffer from "false memories. " Clearly, there is no such thing as a "perfect" memory—their extraordinary minds are still using the same flawed tools that the rest of us rely on. The question is, how?I)Lawrence Patihis at the University of Southern Mississippi recently studied around 20 people with HSAM and found that they scored particularly high on two measures: fantasy proneness (倾向）and absorption. Fantasy proneness could be considered a tendency to imagine and daydream, whereas absorption is the tendency to allow your mind to become fully absorbed in an activity—to pay complete attention to the sensations (感受）and the experiences. "I'm extremely sensitive to sounds, smells and visual detail," explains Nicole Donohue, who has taken part in many of these studies. "I definitely feel things more strongly than the average person. "J)The absorption helps them to establish strong foundations for recollection, says Patihis , and the fantasy proneness means that they revisit those memories again and again in the coming weeks and months. Each time this initial memory trace is "replayed, "it becomes even stronger. In some ways, you probably go through that process aftera big event like your wedding day—but the difference is that thanks to their other psychological tendencies, theHSAM subjects are doing it day in, day out, for the whole of their lives.K)Not everyone with a tendency to fantasise will develop HSAM, though, so Patihis suggests that something must have caused them to think so much about their past. "Maybe some experience in their childhood meant that they became obsessed (着迷）with calendars and what happened to them," says Patihis.L)The people with HSAM I've interviewed would certainly agree that it can be a mixed blessing. On the plus side, it allows you to relive the most transformative and enriching experiences. Veiseh, for instance, travelled a lot in his youth. In his spare time ,he visited the local art galleries ,and the paintings are now lodged deep in his autobiographical memories.M)" I magine being able to remember every painting, on every wall, in every gallery space, between nearly 40 countries," he says. "That's a big education in art by itself. " With this comprehensive knowledge of the history of art, he has since become a professional painter.N) Donohue, now a history teacher, agrees that it helped during certain parts of her education: "I can definitely remember what I learned on certain days at school. I could imagine what the teacher was saying or what it looked like in the book. " 0)Not everyone with HSAM has experienced these benefits, however. Viewing the past in high definition can makeit very difficult to get over pain and regret. " It can be very hard to forget embarrassing moments, "says Donohue. "You feel the same emotions—it is just as raw, just as fresh…You can't turn off that stream of memories ,no matter how hard you try. " V eiseh agrees :"It is like having these open wounds—they are just a part of you, "he says.P)This means they often have to make a special effort to lay the past to rest. Bill, for instance, often gets painful " fl ashbacks ,"in which unwanted memories intrude into his consciousness ,but overall he has chosen to see it as the best way of avoiding repeating the same mistakes. "Some people are absorbed in the past but not open to new memories, but that's not the case for me. I look forward to each day and experiencing something new. "36.People with HSAM have the same memory as ordinary people when it comes to impersonal information.37.Fantasy proneness will not necessarily cause people to develop HSAM.38.Veiseh began to remember the details of his everyday experiences after he met his first young love.39.Many more people with HSAM started to contact researchers due to the mass media.40.People with HSAM often have to make efforts to avoid focusing on the past.41.Most people do not have clear memories of past events.42.HSAM can be both a curse and a blessing.43.A young woman sought explanation from a brain scientist when she noticed her unusual memory.44.Some people with HSAM find it very hard to get rid of unpleasant memories.45.A recent study of people with HSAM reveals that they are liable to fantasy and full absorption in an activity. Section CDirections: There are 2 passages in this section. Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A), B), C) and D). You should decide on the best choice andmark the corresponding letter on Answer Sheet 2 with a single line through the centre.Passage OneQuestions 46 to 50 are based on the following passage.The phrase almost completes itself: midlife crisis. It's the stage in the middle of the journey when people feel youth vanishing, their prospects narrowing and death approaching.There's only one problem with the cliche (套话）. It isn't true." I n fact ,there is almost no hard evidence for midlife crisis other than a few small pilot studies conducted decades ago, " Barbara Hagerty writes in her new book, Life Reimagined. The bulk of the research shows that there may be a pause, or a shifting of gears in the 40s or 50s, but this shift "can be exciting, rather than terrifying. "Barbara Hagerty looks at some of the features of people who turn midlife into a rebirth. They break routines , because "autopilot is death. " They choose purpose over happiness—having a clear sense of purpose even reduces the risk of Alzheimer's disease. They give priority to relationships, as careers often recede (逐渐淡化）．Life Reimagined paints a picture of middle age that is far from gloomy. Midlife seems like the second big phase of decision-making. Your identity has been formed; you've built up your resources; and now you have the chance to take the big risks precisely because your foundation is already secure.Karl Barth described midlife precisely this way. At middle age, he wrote, "the sowing is behind; now is the time to reap. The run has been taken; now is the time to leap. Preparation has been made; now is the time for the venture of the work itself. "The middle-aged person, Barth continued, can see death in the distance, but moves with a "measured haste" to get big new things done while there is still time.What Barth wrote decades ago is even truer today. People are healthy and energetic longer. We have presidential candidates running for their frrst term in office at age 68, 69 and 74. A longer lifespan is changing the narrative structure of life itself. What could have been considered the beginning of a descent is now a potential turning point—the turning point you are most equipped to take full advantage of.46.What does the author think of the phrase " m idlife crisis" ?A)It has led to a lot of debate.B)It is widely acknowledged.C)It is no longer fashionable.47.How does Barbara Hagerty view midlife?A)It may be the beginning of a crisis.B)It can be a new phase of one's life.C)It can be terrifying for the unprepared.D)It may see old-age diseases approaching.48.How is midlife pictured in the book Life Reimagined?A)It can be quite rosy.C)It undergoes radical transformation.49.According to Karl Barth, midlife is the time.A)to relaxC)to harvest50.What does the author say about midlife today?A)It is more meaningful than other stages of life.B)It is likely to change the narrative of one's life.C)It is more important to those with a longer lifespan.D)It is likely to be a critical turning point in one's life.D)It misrepresents real life.B)It can be burdensome.D)It makes for the best part of one's life.B)to matureD)to reflectPassage TwoQuestions 51 to 55 are based on the following passage.In spring, chickens start laying again, bringing a welcome source of protein at winter's end. So it's no surprise that cultures around the world celebrate spring by honoring the egg.Some traditions are simple, like the red eggs that get baked into Greek Easter breads. Others elevate the egg into a fancy art, like the heavily jewel-covered "eggs" that were favored by the Russians starting in the 19th century.One ancient form of egg art comes to us from Ukraine. For centuries, U阮inians have been drawing complicated patterns on eggs. Contemporary artists have followed this tradition to create eggs that speak to the anxieties of our age: Life is precious, and delicate. Eggs are, too."There's something about their delicate nature that appeals to me," says New Yorker cartoonist Roz Chast. Several years ago , she became interested in eggs and learned the traditional Ukrainian technique to draw her very modem characters."I've broken eggs at every stage of the process—from the very beginning to the very ,very end."But there's an appeal in that vulnerability. "There's part of this sickening horror of knowing you're walking on the edge with this, that I kind of like, knowing that it could all fall apart at any second. "Chast's designs , such as a worried man alone in a tiny rowboat, reflect that delicateness.Traditional Ukrainian decorated eggs also spoke to those fears.
