Gifted students in the Wichita Falls Independent School District in Texas had the opportunity to travel to STEM facilities and learn coding and other technical skills，but the transportation is not convenient.“We just started talking about，‘Wouldn’t it be cool if we were able to design a mobile STEM lab？’ ” says Dr.Peter E．Griffiths，the district’s associate super intendant.Educators soon realized that they could retrofit an old bus into a mobile STEM lab，which would provide increased access to career and technical education(CTE) experiences for students.
Districts sold off buses when the vehicles became too old.Griffiths and his colleagues decided to retrofit one of those old vehicles.“Give me your ‘best worst’ bus，” Griffiths said to the transportation department.Soon the process of transforming began.Griffiths reached out to Reuben Rodriguez，the owner of a local car company，and explained what they wanted to do.Rodriguez agreed to work with the district on the price on condition that they could send CTE students to lend a hand with some of the building work.And bringing the bus from the dream stage to fruition has taken a lot of joint efforts of educators and the community.
Called STEAM Machine，the bus looks like a device from a video game or a real-life Lego truck，and rides as a mobile maker space.“It has two touch screen TVs outside.It comes complete with drones and drone obstacle courses that will help students learn about coding in an enjoyable way，” Griffiths says.“Those are things that a lot of these kids have never experienced before.”
To drive the bus，the district has hired a retiring teacher who will take the bus to various schools and engage in different lessons with students and educators.“We were so concerned about kids losing out on experiences before，and this is a solution.We aren’t going to let this go.The STEAM Machine will be equipped with all the necessary materials and resources，and it may change the way students learn and engage with their education，” Griffiths said.

From checking social media every minute to being lost in computer games，we tend to overuse technology.“For many people，a moment without your phone or laptop in sight can feel like a lifetime，” the Daily Mail commented.A team from the US-based company Toll Free Forwarding built a three-dimensional model to sniff out the negative effects technology can have on human bodies in less than 800 years.The computer model called Mindy may persuade many people to think twice.
“Spending hours looking down at your phone strains your neck and throws your spine(脊柱) off balance，” explained Caleb Backe，a health and wellness expert in the US.Then，the muscles in our neck need to spend extra effort to support the head，making our back hunched(驼背的) and neck wide.
“The way we hold our phones can cause strain in certain points of contact—causing text claw(手机手)，” Nikola Djordjevic，a physician in Serbia，told the team.It affects the elbows too，causing pain in the arm.Scientifically，it is called cubital tunnel syndrome(肘管综合征)．That’s why Mindy has a 90-degree elbow，and her hands look like she’s always holding a mobile phone.
Some people also commented that human evolution may not work this way.They believe that only features with actual benefits would be kept throughout the years.For example，features that can increase the rate of survival，instead of the negative impact of technology.
However，current human lifestyles still raise concerns.A model called Emma was built by researchers in the UK in 2019 to show how the way people work at their desks could change them in 20 years.The research team built Emma based on the health issues mentioned by over 3,000 workers in France，Germany and the UK.Emma’s back stays bent，and her legs are swollen(肿胀的) due to the time people spend in front of computers.With little time spent outdoors and in the sun，her skin is pale，too.

训练6　Lesson 2(B)　[分值：32.5分]
Ⅰ.阅读理解(共8小题；每小题2.5分，满分20分)
A
Myspace launched in September 2003.Friendster gave inspiration to the founders of Myspace，and the social network officially went live on the web in January 2004.After its first month online，over one million people signed up.By November 2004，that number grew to 5 million.By 2006，Myspace was visited more times than Google Search and Yahoo，becoming the most visited website in the United States.In June of that year，Myspace was reportedly responsible for nearly 80 percent of all social media traffic.
As explosive as Myspace was，it paled in comparison to how quickly Facebook grew into the Internet giant it is today.In April 2008，both Facebook and Myspace attracted 115 million unique global visitors per month，with Myspace still winning in the U．S.alone.In December 2008，Myspace experienced peak(顶峰) U．S.traffic with 75.9 million unique visitors.As Facebook grew，Myspace sustained a series of downsizing and redesigns as it tried to redefine itself as a social entertainment network.It was estimated(估价) in March 2011 that the site had dropped from attracting 95 million to 63 million unique visitors within the past year.
Although several factors triggered Myspace’s fall，one argument held that the company never figured out how to innovate well enough to keep up with the competition.Officially，however，Myspace is far from dead.If you go to ，you’ll see that it is very much still alive，though it has mostly transitioned away from social networking to become a site for planning music and entertainment.As of 2019，the site boasted over 7 million monthly visits.On Myspace’s front page，you’ll find a variety of entertainment news stories not just about music，but also movies，sports，food，and other cultural topics.Profiles are still a central feature of the social network，but users are encouraged to share their own music，videos，photos，and even concert events.
语篇解读　本文为一篇说明文。文章介绍了Myspace的兴衰史。Myspace曾经是美国访问量最大的网站，由于缺乏创新，它的人气输给了Facebook，如今已经转型为一个以音乐和娱乐为主的网站。
1．How long has it taken Myspace to become the most visited website in America since its establishment
A．About 2 years. B．About 3 years.
C．About 5 years. D．About 8 years.
答案　B
解析　细节理解题。根据第一段中“Myspace launched in September 2003.”以及“By 2006，Myspace was visited more times than Google Search and Yahoo，becoming the most visited website in the United States.”可知，Myspace自2003年成立以来，花了约3年的时间才成为美国访问量最大的网站。故选B。
2．What does the underlined word “sustained” mean in the second paragraph
A．Adapted. B．Acquired.
C．Challenged. D．Experienced.
答案　D
解析　词义猜测题。根据画线词所在句及前一句可知，Myspace经历过顶峰，但是在Facebook崛起之后，Myspace的访问量受到影响，所以Myspace缩小规模，重新打造为社交娱乐网络，sustained意为“遭受，经受”，与experienced意思相近，故选D。
3．What is one of the main reasons for Myspace’s failure
A．Lack of improvement.
B．Too much competition.
C．Unclear business positioning.
D．Cutting down too many workers.
答案　A
解析　细节理解题。根据第三段中“Although several factors triggered Myspace’s fall，one argument held that the company never figured out how to innovate well enough to keep up with the competition.”可知，Myspace衰落的其中一个原因是该公司从来没有认识到如何使自身改善到足够跟上竞争，即创新不够，其平台缺乏改进。故选A。
4．What does Myspace mainly feature right now
A．Profiles.
B．Social networking.
C．Entertainment news.
D．Music and entertainment.
答案　D
解析　细节理解题。根据第三段中“If you go to ，you’ll see that it is very much still alive，though it has mostly transitioned away from social networking to become a site for planning music and entertainment.”可知，如今的Myspace主要以音乐、娱乐为特色。故选D。
B
This week Surgeon General Vivek H．Murthy released a warning about the risks that social media presents to the mental health of children and teenagers.Adolescent mental health has been declining for years，and an increasing amount of research suggests that social media platforms could be partially to blame.But experts continue to debate just how much impact they have.
Numerous studies demonstrate that adolescent rates of depression，anxiety and loneliness have skyrocketed in the U．S.and elsewhere since around the time that smartphones and social media became ever-present.
Yet the role social media plays has been widely debated.Some researchers have sounded the alarm，arguing that social media provides the most credible explanation for problems such as enhanced teen loneliness.Other researchers have been sitting on the fence.In 2019 Jeff Hancock，founding director of the Social Media Lab at Stanford University，and his colleagues completed an analysis of 226 scientific papers dating back to 2006.They concluded that social media use was associated with a slight increase in depression and anxiety but also improvements in feelings of belonging and connectedness.
Some recent studies have attempted to clarify the link between social media and mental health，asking，for instance，whether social media use is causing depression or whether people are being more active on social media because they’re depressed.In an attempt to present evidence，Massachusetts Institute of Technology economist Alexey Makarin and two of his colleagues conducted mental health surveys taken by college students across the country.Their study，published in 2022，found that swollen rates of depression and anxiety，as well as declined academic performance，followed Facebook’s arrival.Makarin says much of the harm they documented came from social comparisons：students viewed the online profiles of their peers and believed them to “have nicer lives，party more often，have more friends and look better.”
“In total，there’s an increasingly clear picture that，indeed，social media has a negative impact on mental health，” Makarin says.“We are not saying that social media can explain 100 percent of the rise of mental health issues...But it could potentially explain a sizeable portion.”
5．What do we know about social media
A．It has a negative influence on adolescent mental health.
B．It is the leading cause of adolescent depression.
C．It plays an important role in treating mental illness.
D．Its impact on mental health is still unknown.
答案　A
解析　细节理解题。根据第一段中“Adolescent mental health has been declining for years，and an increasing amount of research suggests that social media platforms could be partially to blame.”和第二段可知，社交媒体对青少年心理健康有负面影响。故选A。
6．What is Jeff Hancock’s attitude towards social media
A．Critical. B．Objective.
C．Favorable. D．Indifferent.
答案　B
解析　观点态度题。根据第三段中“They concluded that social media use was associated with a slight increase in depression and anxiety but also improvements in feelings of belonging and connectedness.”可知，Jeff Hancock对社交媒体的态度是客观的。故选B。
7．How does social media cause harm to teenagers according to Makarin
A．By threatening their academic performance.
B．By presenting them with online profiles.
C．By encouraging them to party more often.
D．By making them feel worse off than others.
答案　D
解析　细节理解题。根据第四段中“Makarin says much of the harm they documented came from social comparisons：students viewed the online profiles of their peers and believed them to ‘have nicer lives，party more often，have more friends and look better.’”可知，Makarin认为，社交媒体会让青少年觉得自己比别人差，这对他们的心理健康不利。故选D。
8．What is the main purpose of the text
A．To advocate the harm of social media to teenagers’ mental health.
B．To analyze the causes of worsening adolescent mental health.
C．To present findings on the link between social media and mental health.
D．To propose an effective approach to handling mental illness.
答案　C
解析　写作意图题。根据第一段内容以及下文的说明可知，本文的目的是展示社交媒体与心理健康之间关系的研究结果。故选C。
Ⅱ.七选五(共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分)
Baratunde Thurston，a digital media adviser，decided to disconnect from his online life for twenty-five days—no Facebook，no Twitter，not even an e-mail.He needed a break. 1
It didn’t take him long to adjust to a disconnected life.By the end of that first week，he was less stressed about not knowing new things. 2 He enjoyed food without twittering the experience.But the end came too soon.After the twenty-five days，he had to restore(恢复) his online presence.
His experiment summarizes two important points about our relationship with social networks like Facebook and Twitter.The first point is that we increasingly recognize that these tools reduce our ability to concentrate. 3 But the problem is especially serious if you’re attempting to improve your ability to work deeply.
To fight back against these distractions(使人分心的事)，Thurston felt his only option was to quit the Internet completely.But the problem is that no one actually follows Thurston. 4 That is，our current distracted state is unavoidable.This brings me to the second point，it didn’t take him long once the experiment ended to slide back into where he began.
5 Instead，I’ll ask you to reject the state of highly distracted connectedness.Social networks might be significant to your success and happiness，but meanwhile accept that most people should be using fewer such tools.If you’re to develop a deep work habit，you must fight to get there.
A．This accounts for the reality.
B．He started chatting with strangers.
C．I won’t ask you to quit the Internet.
D．“I was burnt-out and done，” he explained.
E．It is a real problem for many different people.
F．He had to return to the online world with books to market.
G．Fortunately，you will break the habit of surfing the Internet gradually.
语篇解读　本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了数字媒体顾问Baratunde Thurston决定开始25天不上网的实验，他从这个实验中得到结论：社交媒体分散了我们的时间，而且使我们集中注意力的能力下降，作者最后建议适度使用媒体社交工具。

解析　根据上文“Baratunde Thurston，a digital media adviser，decided to disconnect from his online life for twenty-five days—no Facebook，no Twitter，not even an e-mail.He needed a break.”可知，Baratunde Thurston开始不上网的实验是为了休息。由此可知，D项能够承接上文，符合语境。故选D。
2．答案　B
解析　根据上文“By the end of that first week，he was less stressed about not knowing new things.”及下文“He enjoyed food without twittering the experience.”可知，此处在描述他没有网络后的生活。B项能够承上启下，符合语境。故选B。
3．答案　E
解析　上文“The first point is that we increasingly recognize that these tools reduce our ability to concentrate.”提出社交网络降低了我们集中注意力的能力。根据下文“But the problem is especially serious if you’re attempting to improve your ability to work deeply.”可知，E项能够承上启下，符合语境。其中选项中的problem呼应下文中的the problem。故选E。
4．答案　A
解析　上文“To fight back against these distractions(使人分心的事)，Thurston felt his only option was to quit the Internet completely.But the problem is that no one actually follows Thurston.”指出没有人像Thurston那样完全离开网络。下文“That is，our current distracted state is unavoidable.”指出人们只能回归社交网络世界。由此可知，A项能够承上启下，指出现实中人们无法避免分心。故选A。
5．答案　C
解析　根据下文“Instead，I’ll ask you to reject the state of highly distracted connectedness.”可知，作者并不会要求人们完全拒绝网络。由此可知，C项符合语境。故选C。Section Ⅲ　Lesson 2　The Objectives of Education
