2 . Around half the people we consider our friends don’t consider us theirs in return, as recent research indicates. As with the famous finding that almost everyone thinks they’re in the top 50% of safe drivers, we can’t all be the ones with the right sense of who really likes us.

And if we’re struggling through life with such a wrong understanding of our social circles, what about all the other received wisdom about friendship’s importance?

It has been found that friends keep us physically healthy, alive for longer, less possibility of depression and more successful — but how much of that, especially when the research is based on self-reports, comes from those actually having friends, instead of those believing that they do?

Perhaps it shouldn’t be surprising to learn that, when it comes to friendship, we’re in the control of an ego-boosting misconception (自我膨胀的错误想法): That’s true in many sides of life. People with healthy self-esteem (自尊) usually overestimate both their interpersonal skills and their control over events. Some psychologists find that slightly depressed people have an exacter grasp of their abilities than the non-depressed.

You needn’t react strongly to the thought that your “friends” might secretly not like you since this particular study focused on university students. It’s well-known that our social circles become smaller as we grow up, too often, especially in a friend-starved old age. But isn’t it possible that this decrease is better thought of as choosing the list of true friends, as we focus on those friendships that are actually rewarding, while we quit those who don’t treat us in the same way as we treat them?

There are certainly reasons to worry about a loneliness crisis among the elderly, but having only a few friends may not be good sign for it. If I make it to my final years with only a handful of friendships, it’s not a sad state, because life has decreased them down to the ones that really count. I’d call it a better use of my remaining time.

1. Why does the author mention the famous finding in paragraph 1?

A．To state that all drivers are good.

B．To illustrate we can’t assess friends properly.

C．To argue that we don’t understand social circles.

D．To stress the importance of friendship.

2. What does paragraph 3 mainly talk about?

A．Friendship is of great significance for our life.

B．Friendship may not be so easy to develop as it appears.

C．Previous research findings about friendship maybe wrong.

D．Previous research on friendship is largely based on self-reports.

3. Who have the best understanding of their own abilities according to some psychologists?

A．Those with high self-esteem.

B．Those with severe depression.

C．Those with slight depression.

D．Those with healthy self-esteem.

4. What’s the author’s opinion on friends of the seniors?

A．It’s sad to have only a few friends.

B．It’s better to have a great many friends.

C．It’s necessary to quit unimportant friends.

D．It’s OK to have a handful of true friends.

5 . I can remember occasionally nodding off with my phone between my ear and shoulder after hours of conversation with a friend. I’d wake up with the dial tone screaming in my ear. What happened? What did I say? The next day, my friend would tell me a funny story about how I had trailed off（声音逐渐减弱）with some meaningless words and begun snoring（打鼾）into the phone. We had a good laugh, but there was no harm because at least there was no permanent record of it.

For today’s young people, nodding off during a verbal phone call may mean a text written in their sleep. Who even knew texting while sleeping was possible before? But it’s possible today. A newly-published study from Villanova University’s M. Louise Fitzpatrick College of Nursing surveyed 372 college students and found that a quarter of them had sleep texting-texting while in a sleep state at some point. Of that group, 72% had no memory of the event. Respondents most likely to text in the sleep were, unsurprisingly, those who regularly slept with the phone on bed with them.

The study indicated that those who reported sleep texting admitted that cellphone use ravaged their sleep, which meant they suffered poor sleep. The study also found that most college students do not get high quality sleep, and that most do not turn off the cellphone when they go to sleep.

Young adults, especially college students, sleep even less than other age groups, often having only 6 to 7 hours of sleep per night. The demands of heavy class loads and the busy social life of college, combined with little to no adult supervision, have already been an environment fit for sleep disruption. Because of today’s technology of smartphones laptops, and so on, a solid night’s uninterrupted sleep sounds like a faraway dream indeed.

Maybe it’s time for a change.

1. Why did the author trail off with some meaningless words over the phone?

A．Because she wanted to horrify her friend.

B．Because she wanted to make up funny story.

C．Because she got tired and fell asleep gradually.

D．Because she was tired of talking with her friend.

2. What does the author want to show by mentioning the study about college students?

A．Texting while sleeping is actually common.

B．Today’s young people can’t live without the phone.

C．College students often forget what they’ve done.

D．College students have a bad habit of texting before going to sleep.

3. What does the underlined word “ravaged” in Paragraph 3 mean?

A．Protected.

B．Damaged.

C．Improved.

D．Controlled

4. Which of the following statements would the author most probably agree with?

A．College students should stop using their smartphones.

B．College students’ class loads should be reduced.

C．Having a solid night’s uninterrupted sleep is impossible today.

D．College students should avoid using the phone before bedtime.

8 . “You’ll get square eyes!” my mother used to say as I sat for hour after hour glued to the TV. I ignored her, of course. Past-forward a few decades and now I’m the parent. My 5-year-old lives in a world where screens aren’t fixed pieces of furniture. You can’t even avoid them by going outside. Screens are not only in our pockets; they’re everywhere.

The concerns have grown with the screens. In the past decade, we have heard that they will damage our mental health. Many of us feel more distracted by them, feeling guiltier and more tired as a result.

The apps and websites we can access on our phones have also sparked widespread concern. Big tech companies are also good at making use of our need for social recognition, hooking us on likes, retweets and follower counts. Social media has created a culture of mass narcissism (自恋), which has led many to worry about the emotional stresses on teenagers. A quick online search brings up dozens of papers linking screen use or social media with harmful effects on mental health, including depression and suicide.

Such statements are alarming. They are also widely believed, thanks to popular books like iGen by Jean Twenge, which claims that digital technology has ruined a generation. Yet, Amy Orben at the University of Oxford, who studies the impact of digital technology and social media in particular on mental health, holds different views. She claims that the underlying data can be used to tell different stories. She also spotted shortcomings in several large studies that claimed to show correlations (相关性) between the use of devices with screens and depression in users.

Twenge stands by her own finding, pointing in turn to what she considers flaws in Orben’s research methods. For David Max, at Royal College of Child Health in London, the effect of screen time and social media use on mental health remains speculative. “We cannot regard social media overall as good or bad,” says Davie. “We don’t know whether in individual cases social media is not responsible,” he says.

The explosion of mobile phone use has revolutionized our lives. I can download movies, write articles, communicate with my family and broadcast to the world all at the push of a button. Rather than impose constraints (限制), we should take a look at our use of screens and ask how they fit with the activities and lifestyle.

Every new technology with widespread impact has given rise to new fears. So the best bet may simply be to ask yourself what level of screen use makes you and those around you happy and try to stick to it. If you find yourself over addictive, don’t panic—and certainly don’t feel guilty. Nobody knows anything worth getting scared about.

1. According to the passage, people give likes, retweet or count followers to __________.

A．share one’s lifestyles	B．show respect for others
C．seek social recognition	D．relieve emotional stresses

2. The underlined word “speculative” probably means “__________”.

A．doubtful	B．specific
C．important	D．abstract

3. What can be learned from the passage?

A．Teenagers are more affected by screen use both physically and mentally.

B．Orben claims it is far too early to blame screen use for ruining a generation.

C．Big tech companies help to produce many research papers on mental health.

D．Twenge mainly introduces the overall benefits of digital technology in her books.

4. The passage is written to __________.

A．encourage readers to reduce the time of screen use

B．share different opinions on the effects of screen use

C．explain why screen use may have negative effects on people

D．relieve people’s concerns and worries about the use of screens

9 . Rich and Famous

Twenty years ago the most common ambition of American children was to be a teacher, followed by working in banking and finance, and then medicine. But today’s situation is quite different.     1     Instead they most commonly say they want to be a sports star, a pop star, or an actor—in other words, they hope to become a celebrity .

According to experts, young people desire these jobs largely because of the wealth and the fame.     2     Let’s take athletes and singers as an example. Their careers are short-lived. Many athletes’ best time only lasts a few years and singers can have a very limited career. The field that was once the focus of their lives becomes something they have little or no involvement in. As a result, they’ll have a feeling of worthlessness and a lack of control.     3    The truth is quite simple: they have been so far removed from it for so long.

In spite of these disadvantages, there is greater ambition than ever among young people to achieve that status. They are not satisfied just making a living—they want to be rich and famous. Globally, more and more TV shows provide talent competitions where winners can achieve their goals in just a few weeks or months.    4    They unrealistically believe that this lifestyle is easily obtained and leads to great satisfaction.

While many people argue that there is nothing wrong with having such ambitions, others feel that this trend will finally lead to dissatisfaction as more and more people are unable to reach their goals.     5     That means they ignore the simple fact that great effort is needed before success. As a result, many people won’t realize their childhood dreams, which could have a negative effect on their happiness.

A．In many ways this has been brought about by the celebrity culture.

B．People no longer have a sense of satisfaction once their goals have been achieved.

C．Besides, it can be difficult for them to adapt back to a normal everyday life.

D．The younger generation don’t favor these professions any more.

E．Unfortunately, they do not always have a positive effect on people’s life.

F．The reason is that they don’t realize it takes talent and hard work to be rich and famous.

G．This quick way of gaining wealth and fame creates a celebrity culture among people.

10 . 【吉林省长春市2018届高三年级四模】阅读下面短文，在空白处填入1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。

No matter where you are, humans are constantly measuring and checking time. Some of us are good at it—planning and doing things ahead of time,     1    others are always trying to beat the clock and do things at the eleventh hour.

Tardiness (拖拉) can be serious. If you     2     (be) one minute late for work, would you resign? It may sound extreme, but that is exactly     3     occurred in the UK upper chamber of parliament, the House of Lords, in January 2018. International development minister Lord Bates arrived one minute late, and, as a result, was unable to answer a     4     (schedule) question. Instead of trying     5     (make) up for lost time, as many might do, he resigned on     6     spot. He apologized for his discourtesy (无礼) and stated that he was ashamed. His resignation, though,     7     (reject) by the UK prime minister.

So, how late is too late? Many cultures take punctuality very seriously. In contrast, others seem to view tardiness     8     just the normal way of things. What is considered acceptable is based on culture. That is, if you don’t mind waiting, it might be best to attend your     9     (appoint) in good time. And if the worst comes to the worst, remember the old English proverb, “     10     (well) late than never.”
