Teenagers who spend more than six hours online on school days are more likely to be lonely and skip school,according to an international study.
The study examined the home Internet use,well-being(幸福) and behaviour of 296,000 15-year-olds in 41 countries.More than one in four spent more than four hours per day online outside of school.The study found lower levels of well-being among students who spent more than six hours per day online.They were twice as likely as teenagers spending one and two hours per day online to report that they felt lonely at school.These extreme Internet users were also especially at risk of “behaving in problematic ways at school,such as arriving late or skipping class”.
The report said,“Lower levels of engagement(密切关系) with school may be connected to less sense of belonging at school.It is also possible that skipping class and arriving late for school are the consequence of lack of sleep among extreme Internet users.”It
adds,“Parents,schools and health professionals can work together to watch and plan children’s use of new media.”
The study also found that countries that invest(投资) heavily in Information and Communication Technology(ICT) in schools have seen no considerable difference in 15-year-olds’ achievement in reading,maths or science tests.The study results suggest limited use of computers at school may be better than not using them at all.However,students who use computers very frequently at school do a lot worse in most learning outcomes.The report says,“In the end,technology can strengthen great teaching,but great technology cannot replace poor teaching.”

A.half of the students spent six hours online every day

Barrington Irving made his historic flight and founded an educational non-profit-making organization.The secret,he believes,is having a dream in the first place,and that starts with learning experiences that inspire kids to build careers.
The moment of inspiration for Irving came in his parents’ bookstore.One customer,a professional pilot,asked Irving if he’d thought about becoming a pilot.“I told him I didn’t think I was smart enough;but the next day he took me to the cockpit(驾驶舱)of the commercial airplane he flew,and just like that I was hooked.”
To follow his dream,Irving turned down a football scholarship to the University of Florida.He washed airplanes to earn money and increased his flying skills by practising at home on a $40 flight simulator(模拟) video game.Then another dream took hold:flying alone around the world.He faced more than 50 rejections for sponsorship before convincing some companies to donate aircraft components.He took off with no weather radar,no de-icing system(除冰系统),and just $30 in his pocket.
After 97 days,26 stops and dozens of thunderstorms,he touched down to a cheering crowd in Miami.“It was seeing so many young people watching and listening that pushed me into giving back with my knowledge and experience.” Irving has been doing it ever since.He set up his non-profit-making organization,Experience Aviation(航空),aiming to increase the numbers of youth in aviation and science-related careers.“We want to create chances for students to accomplish something amazing,”he notes.The most powerful educational tool is the example his own life provides.
4.According to Irving,what is the most important in achieving success?
A.Meeting people who provide unexpected help.
B.Getting a chance to study technical knowledge.
C.Having something specific that you want to accomplish.
D.Developing communication with different organizations.
5.What Irving replied to the pilot in the bookstore suggested that .
A.he was doubtful about his own abilities
B.he felt embarrassed to refuse the offer
C.he knew his efforts would be rewarded
D.he realized immediately how lucky he was
6.What can we lean about Irving in paragraph 3?
A.He chose to reduce his budget as low as possible.
B.He was finally given enough money to keep going.
C.He got the most useful flying tips from his video game.
D.He took on a further challenge after he knew how to fly.
7.Why did Irving set up his non-profit-making organization?
A.He hoped to become a public figure.
B.He saw there was great interest in what he was doing.
C.He expected to start a business in other fields.
D.He thought he could teach more than flight schools could.

Ⅳ.【语篇解读】本文是一篇说明文,主要介绍了一份研究报告。

报告称在校期间上网时间超过6小时的青少年更容易感到孤独,更容易逃学。

1.B细节理解题。

根据第二段中的“The study found lower levels of well-being among students who spent more than six hours per day online.”可知,每天上网时间超过6小时的学生的幸福感较低,根据下文可知,These extreme Internet users 指的就是“每天上网时间超过6小时的学生”,故B 项与原文相符。

2.B推理判断题。

根据最后一段中的“The study results suggest limited use of computers at school may be better than not using them at all.However,students who use computers very frequently at school do a lot worse in most learning outcomes.”可知,研究结果表明,在学校有限地使用电脑可能比在学校一点儿都不使用电脑更好,然而,那些在学校频繁使用电脑的学生在大多数学习效果上做得更糟。

由此可知在学校正确使用电脑是有帮助的,故选B项。

3.C推理判断题。

本文主要介绍了一份研究报告,属于科学新闻报告类阅读,故应该出现在科学新闻报告上。

【语篇解读】本文是一篇记叙文,主要讲述了Barrington Irving坚持梦想、学习飞行、独自一人飞越全球并成立公益组织传播飞行知识及经验的故事。

4.C细节理解题。

根据第一段中的“The secret,he believes,is having a dream in the first place,and that starts with learning experiences that inspire kids to build careers.”可知,在Irving看来,取得成功最重要的是有明确的目标。

5.A推理判断题。

根据第二段中的“I told him I didn’t think I was smart enough”可知,Irving告诉对方自己可能不够聪明,表明Irving怀疑自己的能力。

6.D细节理解题。

根据第三段中的“Then another dream took hold:flying alone around the world.”可知,在他知道如何飞行之后,他接受了进一步的挑战。

7.B推理判断题。

根据第四段中的“It was seeing so many young people watching and listening that pushed me into giving back with my knowledge and experience.”及“Irving has been doing it ever since.He set up his non-profit-making organization...”可推知,促使Irving建立这个公益组织的原因是他看到人们对他所做的事非常感兴趣。
