    Life for almost anyone is increasingly influenced by screens. Not only are screens themselves cheap to make, but they also make things cheaper. Any place that can fit a screen in can cut costs. And any activity that can happen on a screen becomes cheaper. The physical experience of learning, living and dying is becoming smooth glass. All of this has led to a curious new reality: Human contact is becoming a luxury good (奢侈品).

“What we are seeing now is the luxury of human engagement,” Milton Pedraza, the chief of the Luxury Institute, said. Expected spending on experiences such as enjoyable travel and dining is outpacing spending on goods, according to his company’s research, and he sees it as a direct response to the rapid increase of screens.

Screens exposure starts young. And children who spent more than two hours a day looking at a screen got lower scores on thinking and language tests, according to early results of a landmark study supported by the National Institutes of Health. The study focuses on brain development of more than 11,000 children. Most disturbingly, the study is finding that the brains of children who spend much time on screens are different. For some kids, their cerebral cortex (大脑皮层) would become thinner before expected time. In adults, one study found an association between screen time and depression.

There is also the reality that in our culture of increasing separation, in which so many of the traditional gathering places and social structures have disappeared, screens are filling a vital gap.

For normal people, running away from the screen becomes impossible. It’s not a luxury, and it’s easy to get. It is normal for more people to need the network constantly. In addition, it has become an important part of social interaction.

1.What can we infer from Paragraph 1?

A.Screens make everything in life cheaper.

B.People’s life is totally controlled by screens.

C.It is difficult for people to contact each other.

D.Face-to-face communication is decreasing nowadays.

2.According to the text, which of the following WON’T be caused by long screen time?

A.More social interaction. B.Depressive state of mind. C.Different brain structures.              D.Poorer academic performance.

3.What is the author’s attitude towards the popularization of screen?

A.Favorable. B.Skeptical. C.Concerned. D.Opposed .

 

1.D 2.A 3.C 【解析】 这是一篇说明文。文章主要说明了人与人之间的接触越来越少,人们对屏幕的需求逐渐增长。文章主要说明了长时间看屏幕会给人体造成的不良影响,以及作者认为屏幕正在填补一个重要的空白。对于普通人来说,逃离屏幕是不可能的。 1.推理判断题。根据第一段中All of this has led to a curious new reality: Human contact is becoming a luxury good.可知所有这一切导致了一个奇怪的新现实:人际交往正在成为一种奢侈品。由此可推知,现在面对面的交流越来越少了。故选D。 2.细节理解题。根据第三段中And children who spent more than two hours a day looking at a screen got lower scores on thinking and language tests, according to early results of a landmark study supported by the National Institutes of Health.可知美国国立卫生研究院(National Institutes of Health)支持的一项里程碑式研究的早期结果显示,每天看屏幕超过两小时的儿童在思维和语言测试中的得分较低。由此可知,长时间看屏幕会造成儿童成绩更差;以及第三段中Most disturbingly, the study is finding that the brains of children who spend much time on screens are different.可知最令人不安的是,研究发现长时间看屏幕的儿童的大脑是不同的。由此可知长时间看屏幕会造成不同的大脑结构;以及最后一句In adults, one study found an association between screen time and depression.可知在成年人中,一项研究发现了屏幕时间和抑郁之间的联系。由此可知长时间看屏幕会造成精神抑郁状态。只有A选项“更多的社会互动”文章没有提到,不属于长时间看屏幕而造成结果。故选A。 3.推理判断题。根据最后一段For normal people, running away from the screen becomes impossible. It’s not a luxury, and it’s easy to get. It is normal for more people to need the network constantly. In addition, it has become an important part of social interaction.可知对于普通人来说,逃离屏幕是不可能的。这不是奢侈品,而且很容易得到。更多的人经常需要网络是正常的。此外,它已经成为社会交往的重要组成部分。结合文章主要说明了人与人之间的接触越来越少,人们对屏幕的需求逐渐增长。文章主要说明了长时间看屏幕会给人体造成的不良影响,以及作者认为屏幕正在填补一个重要的空白。对于普通人来说,逃离屏幕是不可能的。由此可推知,作者对屏幕的普及问题持关心态度。故选C。

    I was thrilled to go on an adventure with my master Rev.Young, a tall man with kind eyes.Mr. Muir was going too. But he said, “Such a helpless creature will only be in the way.” I was disappointed when I heard what he said, and yet I still wanted to follow him.

One stormy morning, Mr. Muir set out alone to study nature. He ordered me to stay behind. But I could not let him go alone, so I followed him into the wild weather. We crossed Taylor Glacier and endless sheet of ice, which was cut by cracks. I was unafraid and sailed over these bottomless holes. Mr. Muir was delighted that he was not crossing them alone.

As dusk fell, we reached an enormous crack that was impossible to jump across. In between the two sides was a U-shaped bridge of ice, so thin that one wrong step would mean dropping to your death. Daylight was disappearing, and gusty winds blew snow into my eyes. I turned to return to camp the way we came. However, Mr. Muir decided to cross the crack. He sat down and rode the narrow U-strip as if it were a horse. Once safe on the other side, he called out to me. But I had never been so terrified before. “I am not good at climbing steep slopes.” I was scared and thought.

Then I looked at Mr. Muir, already across on the safe side. Slowly, I began to cross it. I could feel his eyes on me the entire way. Before I knew it, I made the happiest landing of my life. I ran round and round and jumped up and hugged him. From that day on, we spent every moment together.
