第二部分阅读理解（共两节，满分40分）

A
Even if you don’t have to work，eat or sleep，you won’t be able to get through all information on blogs and social networks. The problem we face is that much of this information seems very interesting at first glance. Actually，much of the information is unimportant，disposable and it distracts(分心) us from more meaningful pursuits. Worse still，when we spend lots of time consuming information from our social media streams，we may find it hard to concentrate on what we’re doing and we have a tendency to forget what we have consumed anyway.
A new study from Sweden’s KTH Royal Institute of Technology has found that too much social media exposure actually reduces your ability to process information and depletes your short-term working memory.
Our working memory plays a critical role in our capacity to filter information and remember what is valuable but it is not a limitless resource. Erik Fransén，a professor in Computer Science at KTH and the leader of this new study on social media overload says this can explain why our capacity for processing information begins to fail when we attempt to stuff more information in the working memory.
In fact，when you try to process the information like speech or video，you are going to need partly the same system of working memory，so you are reducing your own working memory capacity.And
when you try to store many things in your working memory，you get less good at processing information.
It is the periods of downtime of your brain—preferably disconnected from the distractions of your computer or smartphone—that are needed for memory consolidation and transferring important information to your exposure to new information. Besides，you can empty your mind of thoughts quickly to relax completely，go for a short walk or spend a few minutes listening to music. This will help you improve your capacity to process information and increase your productivity.
1．What can we learn about social media overload from Paragraph 1?
A．It distracts our attention.
B．It is beneficial to us.
C．It brings us whatever we want.
D．It keeps us informed of everything.
2．Why does your capacity for processing information begin fall sometimes?
A．Much of the information is unimportant.
B．You don’t make the most of your brain.
C．You’re less good at processing information.
D．Your working memory is a limited resource.
3．What does the underlined word “downtime” in the last paragraph probably mean?
A．Support. B．Relaxation.
C．Increase. D．Loss.
【语篇解读】本文讲述了社交媒体会给我们提供很多的信息，但这些信息大部分无用且会分散我们的注意力。

而且我们的工作记忆也不是无限的，需要我们整合信息，清空思绪，以便更好地1．A[细节理解题。

2．D[细节理解题。

根据第三段首句“Our working memory plays a critical role in our capacity to filter information and remember what is valuable but it is not a limitless resource.”以及最后一句中的“this can explain why our capacity for processing information begins to fail”可知有时我们处理信息的能力降低是因为我们的工作记忆是有限的，故选D。

3．B[词义猜测题。

根据最后一段的内容尤其是倒数第二句“Besides，you can empty your mind of thoughts quickly to relax completely，go for a short walk or spend a few minutes listening to music.”清空思绪，完全放松自己，可知这是让大脑放松的时期。

Americans，especially the millennials(千禧一代)，are always glued(固着于)to their phones. A
common day of the average university student in America starts off like this：an alarm clock wakes you up，which is quickly followed by checking social media such as Twitter and Facebook. Once in classes，you are again attracted by your buzzing phone and access to the Internet rather than pay attention to the lecturing professor. Then you have lunch with some friends, only to look up from your screen to realize that no one has said a word in five minutes and instead all are looking at their phones. Once the day ends，you can't help checking all forms of social media again before finally being able to shut your eyes only to repeat this vicious cycle the next day．
Cyberbullying(网络霸凌)，a concept unknown before，is now in fashion. Many of the millennials are using the Internet to make jokes about others to points of extremes. The Internet gives cowards bravery；people feel like their actions and words have no bad results because they cannot see the ache it causes another.
Millennials also think that whatever information shows up on their screens must be taken as truth，whether the material is reliable(可靠的)or not.
Social media is not all bad，however. People are still able to use social media to connect with friends and family who live a great distance away. With a few clicks of a button，someone could make another person smile，or give words of hope and encouragement to a friend in need，or even help repair a broken relationship. Cyberspace is a vortex(漩涡)that is easy to get caught up in，but we must find a balance to keep both feet in reality while traveling across the online world.
4．What does the underlined part in Paragraph 1 mean?
A．You can't break away from your phone.
B．You decide to get rid of this bad behavior later.
C．You return to going cycling the following day.
D．You are caught in the busy life.
5．What can be learned about the millennials?
A．They often mistake facts for personal opinions.
B．They prefer to communicate face to face.
C．They are often made fun of in the cyberspace.
D．They don't make their own judgement.
6．What's the author's purpose of writing the text?
A．To state the ill effect of social media.
B．To prove the benefit of cyberspace.
C．To suggest using the social media wisely.
D．To introduce the function of phones.
7．Which way of using social media is advised by the writer?
A．Being glued to the phones all the time.
B．Promoting relationships.
C．Losing themselves in the cyberspace.
D．Fighting against others.
【语篇解读】本文介绍美国人，尤其是千禧一代离不开手机。

4．A[词义猜测题。

根据第一段倒数第二句no one has said a word in five minutes and instead all are looking at their phones.在五分钟之内没有一个人说一个单词，相反他们都在看他们的手机。

”故选A。

5．D[推理判断题。

根据第二段Cyberbullying(网络霸凌)，a concept unknown before，is now in fashion. Many of the millennials are using the Internet to make jokes about others to points of extremes.

The consumer always has had to be clever，but with the economy worse and worse，the stakes (赌注)have been raised. The sharks are out there attracting us in，desperate for our money. You can't believe everything you read，even in a newspaper.
I just saw an airline ad for holiday travel，promising me in VERY LARGE type that I could go almost anywhere for $199.Then，when I looked a little closer，there was a star that referred me to the tiny type at the bottom of the page that the $199 was a one­way fare. But I couldn't make a one­way trip. I had to buy a round­trip ticket.
I don't have a clue why they didn't just say the roundtrip ticket was $ 398.In fact，I think it's a much more powerful selling point. For just under $400 you're able to return home from a holiday. Who in their
right mind would want a one­way ticket?
But perhaps the cruelest marketin g trick done on us is the “calories per serving (一份食物的热量)” on food packaging. For years，I lived happily with the belief that each package was a serving. I didn't realize that each box or bag had a number of servings in it. So I ate. Who ever believed a whole bag of potato chips could have only 150 calories？Me. And yes，I'm a fool.
But once I learned the trick that had been played on me，I became bored. I would multiply the number of servings in the bag with the calories per serving，quickly realizing millions of calories were hiding in those containers.
I finally calmed myself down and now don't even look at the calories per serving. It makes life easier. That's why my recent purchase of the first box of holiday eggnog (蛋奶酒) was such a pleasure. Santa can count the servings. I'll drink till I sleep. If only that mattress (床垫) were on sale. 8．Consumers always have had to be clever because ．
A．most people are lacking money
B．newspapers always tell false stories
C．there are many attractive salesmen around
D．they are easily cheated by ads or something
9．In the author's opinion，the price of $199 was ．
A．too high to accept
B．reasonable to pay
C．equal to $ 400 in reality
D．not practical at all
10．Why does the author think of himself as a fool?
A．He ate a lot of food poor in calories.
B．He believed potato chips were healthy food.
C．He thought each serving had few calories.
D．He mistook calories of per serving for each bag's.
11．What's the main idea of the text?
A．Goods on sale are usually bad.
B．Ads today are hard to understand.
C．Buyers should beware of marketing tricks.
D．Forgetting the calories makes life easier.
【语篇解读】本文通过举例告诉我们：不要被商家的虚假信息所迷惑。

8．D[细节理解题。

由第一段可知，随着经济的萧条，消费者买东西要更加小心，因为到处都充斥着虚假信息，消费者很容易受骗。

]
9．D[推理判断题。

由第二段可知，作者认为199美元只是单程票的费用，而顾客所需要的一般是双程票，因此，此项优惠并不实用。

]
10．D[细节理解题。

作者长时间以来认为一份食物所含的热量就是一包食物所含的热量，殊不知，一包食物并不只是一份食物的量，因此作者认为自己是个傻子。

It's early morning，and Katie Smith hears a rooster crowing (报晓)．It's time to get up and start working. She and her husband，Chris Cashen，start the day early. They own and run the Farm at Miller's Crossing，in Hudson，New York.
With the help of 10 workers and，sometimes，the Cashen kids—Lael，12，Connelly，10，AnneMae，8，and Christopher John，6 —Smith and Cashen harvest crops during much of the year. They grow vegetables and other plants. They also raise and care for some animals.
Because the Farm at Miller's Crossing grows different kinds of crops，Cashen says the biggest challenge (挑战) is timing. Several times a year，workers prepare the soil and plant crops. At other times，they transfer (转移) plants from the greenhouse into the fields. The farmers store the fall vegetables in coolers and sell them throughout the winter.
Cashen and Smith grow their crops without the use of chemicals. When crops are ready to be harvested，workers pick them daily，wash them，and put them in boxes. In June，they work up to 70 hours a week. As fall nears，workers try to finish the daily harvesting while there is still daylight. The crops are sold through programs that provide buyers with fresh produce weekly.
Living on a farm has its perks．The Cashen kids swim in a river from which the crops get their water. They ride their bikes in wide-open spaces. When harvesting tomatoes，they sometimes have exciting tomato fights. They have a big family with which to share their adventures.
Everyone takes part in the business. The kids feed the horses. The boys care for the pigs. Lael says she likes transferring plants and selling produce.“It's fun and really busy，’’ says Lael，“but it's just a part of life.’’
12．What can we learn about the Cashen family?
A．They look needy.
B．They lead a busy life.
C．They live on selling animals.
D．They do all the work on their own.
13．What's the most difficult thing on the Farm?
A．Storing the fall vegetables.
B．Growing crops as fast as possible.
C．Moving plants out of the greenhouse.
D．Planning when to plant and harvest.
14．What does the underlined word “perks” in Paragraph 5 mean?
A．Price.B．Reasons.
C．Discomfort. D．Advantages.
15．What is Lael's attitude toward her life on the Farm?
A．She enjoys it.
B．She is proud of it.
C．She is uninterested in it.
D．She feels unsatisfied with it.

文章介绍了Cashen一家人在农场上的生活。

]
13．D[细节理解题。

根据第三段中的“Cashen says the biggest challenge is timing...plants from the greenhouse into the fields”可知，对于Cashen一家来说最大的挑战就是如何合理安排农场上各项工作的时间。

]
14．D[词义猜测题。

]
15．A[推理判断题。

How could we live without the Internet？That's how most of us keep in touch with friends，find homework support，research cool place to visit，or find out the latest news. 16 but when you're surfing the Internet，you need to stay safe.
No Talking to strangers
Since you were a little kid，your parents have probably told you not to talk to stranger. 17 It's easy to meet a stranger on the Internet. You might visit a chat room or get an email or a text message from someone you don't know.
It can be fun to make new friends，but do not communicate with strangers you meet online. 18 Children have been tricked online by people who pretend to be someone that they're not. Some children
have found themselves in a dangerous situation when they agreed to meet the mysterious(神秘的) online “friend” in person.
19 The email could be from a person or a company trying to sell you something. A grown-up should decide what's best to do，which may include changing your email address or telling the police.
Keep Your Privacy(隐私)
Anybody who uses the Internet has been asked to sign in，log in，or create a personal profile(简介)．Kids need to check with a parent or grown-up before doing so. Why？20
Another way to keep your privacy is to choose a screen name or email account name that isn't your real name.
A．You can do all these things online.
B．The same goes for the online world.
C．Let your parents know if a stranger emails you.
D．This information could be used for reasons you wouldn't like.
E．Don't ask the strangers too many questions for information.
F．Think carefully before you create an email address or screen name.
G．Don't talk to them，agree to phone them，or email them photos of yourself.
【语篇解读】文章介绍Internet给我们带来的方便，同时说明了因特网也不是安全的，比如个人隐私信息容易被泄露，因此上网时要注意安全。

16．A[根据空格上文That's how most of us keep in touch with friends，find homework support，research cool place to visit，or find out the latest news.可知，我们大部分人通过网络与朋友保持联系，网络帮助我们解答作业疑难，通过网络寻找旅游的好地方，查找最新新闻。

因此推断你可以在网络上做各种事情，故选A。

]
17．B[空格上文阐述因为你是小孩，父母会告诉你不要和陌生人说话，空格下文讲述在网上也很容易认识陌生人，因此推断B项“网络世界也一样”符合语境，起承上启下的作用。

] 18．G[根据空格上文It can be fun to make new friends，but do not communicate with strangers you meet online.可知，结交新朋友是有趣的，但是不要与网上认识的陌生人交流，G项“不要与他们交谈，同意给他们打电话，或者发电子邮件给他们你的照片”符合语境。

]
19．C[根据空格下文A grown-up should decide what's best to do，which may include changing your email address or telling the police.可知，成年人应该知道做什么是最好的，包括修改你的电子邮件地址或者报警，因此推断C项“让你的父母知道是否陌生人给你发邮件”符合语境。

] 20．D[空格上文阐述使用网络的人被要求注册、登录或者填写个人简介，做这些之前孩子们必须和父母或者成年人核准。

由空格前的why推断，空格处是做这些的理由，故D项“这些信心可能会被用作你不喜欢的目的”符合语境。

参考答案：
Dear David，
I am sorry to say that I can’t go to the library with you on Friday afternoon.
I have just found I have to attend an important class meeting that afternoon. I hope the change will not cause you too much trouble.
Shall we go to Saturday morning? We can set out early so that we will have more time to read and select books. If it’s convenient for you，let’s meet at 8：00 outside the school gate. If not，let me know what time suits you. I should be available any time after school next week.
Yours，
Li Hua。
