　　（2024·长沙高二下学期质检）A new report from the UK says that more than 1 in 5 teens there spend five hours or more per day on social media. And the heavier users of social media get to bed later and get poorer quality sleep. The new study was based on self-reported survey data from nearly 12，000 teenage participants in the UK Millennium Cohort Study.
　　Megan Moreno， a researcher at the University of Wisconsin-Madison， says that social media is too often described as either entirely good or bad， when the reality is more complicated for teens. “Social media may have its problems， but it is the way that they stay in touch with each other，” she says.
　　Perhaps unsurprisingly， the study found a link between high social media usage and poor sleep patterns. Specifically， teens who report heavier social media use go to sleep later. And， the study authors note， late bedtimes are linked with poorer academic and mental health outcomes.
　　Holly Scott， a researcher at the University of Glasgow， isn’t sounding the alarm. She says，“It’s easy to look at the results of this and think，‘We should just get teenagers to spend less time on social media.’ I think that’s an understandable response， but what I really encourage people to do is look beyond that.” She says people should pay attention to the “important emotional and social factors” at play when teenagers are using social media.
　　Scott emphasizes that the study is pointing to a correlation between social media and poor sleep， but not necessarily demonstrating cause and effect.
　　“Certainly some teens do say that they struggle to get rid of social media at night — they might be worried about missing out on things， or affecting their friends by not answering messages — and they stay up late from that，” she says. “But maybe for some of those young people they have a naturally later body clock， and are passing their free time at night on social media until they’re ready to fall asleep.”
1.What’s the purpose of the new study in the UK？（　　）
A.To find the benefits of using social media.
B.To know the effects of using social media.
C.To know teenagers’ habits of using social media.
D.To prove the growing popularity of social media.
2.What attitude does Megan Moreno take towards social media？（　　）
A.Critical.　　　　　　 B.Positive.
C.Objective. D.Confused.
3.What does Holly Scott encourage people to do？（　　）
A.Make better use of social media.
B.Spend less time on social media.
C.Study how social media influences teens.
D.Understand why teens like using social media.
4.What does Holly Scott think of social media’s causing poor sleep？（　　）
A.It’s interesting. B.It’s impossible.
C.It lacks evidence. D.It’s beyond doubt.

　　Learning a second language can have a positive effect on the brain， even if it is taken up in adulthood， a University of Edinburgh study suggests.
　　Researchers found that reading， verbal fluency and intelligence were improved in a study of 262 people tested either aged 11 or in their seventies.
　　A previous study suggested that being bilingual could delay the beginning of dementia （痴呆） by several years. The big question in this study was whether learning a new language improved cognitive functions or whether individuals with better cognitive abilities were more likely to become bilingual.
　　Dr Thomas Bak， from the Centre for Cognitive Ageing and Cognitive Epidemiology at the University of Edinburgh， said he believed he had found the answer.
　　Using data from intelligence tests on 262 Edinburgh-born individuals at the age of 11， the study looked at how their cognitive abilities had changed when they were tested again in their seventies.
　　According to the research， all participants said they were able to communicate in at least one language other than English. Of that group， 195 learned the second language before the age of 18， and 65 learned it after that time.
　　The findings indicate that those who spoke two or more languages had significantly better cognitive abilities compared to what would have been expected from their baseline test. The strongest effects were seen in general intelligence and reading. The effects were present in those who learned their second language early， as well as later in life.
　　Dr Bak said the pattern they found was “meaningful” and the improvements in attention， focus and fluency could not be explained by original intelligence. These findings are of considerable practical relevance.
　　Dr Alvaro Pascual-Leone， professor of medicine at Harvard Medical School in Boston， US， said：“The study provides an important first step in understanding the impact of learning a second language and the ageing brain. This research paves the way for future causal studies of bilingualism and cognitive decline prevention.”
5.According to Paragraph 3， the previous study failed to 　　　　.（　　）
A.find the benefits of being bilingual
B.find the benefits of good cognitive functions
C.prove the relationship between more languages and higher intelligence
D.prove the relationship between being bilingual and better cognitive abilities
6.What does Dr Thomas Bak’s “answer” in Paragraph 4 refer to？（　　）
A.Being bilingual benefits the ageing brain.
B.Being bilingual delays the coming of dementia.
C.People who are bilingual are less likely to suffer from dementia.
D.People with better cognitive abilities are more likely to become bilingual.
7.How did the researchers at the University of Edinburgh get the result of their study？（　　）
A.By studying some facts.
B.By comparing some data.
C.By analysing some reports.
D.By doing some experiments.
8.What did Dr Alvaro Pascual-Leone think of Dr Thomas Bak’s research？（　　）
A.Practical. B.Valuable.
C.Scientific. D.Interesting.

　　（2024·湖州高二下学期期末）Polar bears are strong creatures， standing up to nine feet tall and weighing up to one thousand pounds.13.（　　） Their snow-white coat is thick， with a double layer of fur.Also， a layer of fat lies just under their skin， keeping them extra warm.For months， polar bears have to live off this fat， gained from winter feedings on the ice.When they’re on land， they barely eat.
　　In early November 2016， the polar bears were still on land.There was no sea ice on Hudson Bay.Weeks passed.14.（　　） So the polar bears had to wait longer to return to the sea.
　　The warmer climate affected the polar bears in important ways.In the 1980s， Hudson Bay bears were bigger and rounder， well fed.15.（　　） That’s because with fewer weeks on ice， their hunting season has become shorter.They have less food.In Hudson Bay， polar bear numbers have dropped.
　　In 2016， the water in Hudson Bay didn’t freeze until 12 December.That was very late.“Sea ice is finally forming，” one scientist reported.“The polar bears are moving quickly offshore.”
　　The Arctic — the polar bears’ habitat — is changing.Temperatures have gone up about 3 degrees Celsius （℃） since 1900.16.（　　） In 2017， it was 30 percent smaller than it was twenty-five years earlier.And each year， the remaining ice cover is melting faster and faster.
　　17.（　　） Certain gases in the atmosphere — “greenhouse gases” — hold in heat， keeping it from escaping into space.Higher temperatures bring changes in plant and animal life， in sources of food and water， and in rainfall and snowfall， floods and droughts.Habitats around the world are at risk.
A.They are built for the cold.
B.The ice cover is shrinking， too.
C.In the Arctic， winter used to come early.
D.Thousands of polar bears live in the Arctic.
E.By December， there was still barely any ice at all.

　　One day， as Emily walked through the hallway， she noticed a colourful poster announcing an upcoming English poetry competition.Her heart raced with excitement at the prospect of showcasing her talent， but her mind was immediately flooded with doubts.“What if my poem is not good enough？ What if everyone laughs at me？” she thought to herself， her cheeks flushing with embarrassment.
　　As the days went by， Emily found herself caught between her desire to participate and her fear of failure.She talked with her best friend， Sarah， who had been by her side since they were little.She was known for her outgoing personality and her ability to make everyone feel included.
　　“You have a gift， Emily，” Sarah said reassuringly， her blue eyes filled with encouragement.“Don’t let your fears hold you back.You never know what might happen unless you try.”
　　With Sarah’s support， Emily decided to take a leap of faith and submit her poem for the competition.As the day of the event drew near， she felt a mix of nervousness and expectation.She spent hours perfecting her poem， carefully choosing each word and line to convey her emotions.She practiced her poem in front of the mirror， trying to perfect her delivery and expression.

Step 1　品教材课文 Step 2　析写作手法
WIND ON THE HILL No one can tell me， Nobody knows， Where the wind comes from， Where the wind goes. It’s flying from somewhere As fast as it can， I couldn’t keep up with it， Not if I ran. But if I stopped holding The string of my kite， It would blow with the wind For a day and a night. And then when I found it， Wherever it blew， I should know that the wind Had been going there too. So then I could tell them Where the wind goes ... But where the wind comes from Nobody knows. A.A.Milne　　 DREAM Hold fast to dreams， For if dreams die Life is a broken-winged bird That cannot fly. Hold fast to dreams， For when dreams go Life is a barren field Frozen with snow. Langston Hughes A MATCH If love were what the rose is， And I were the leaf， Our lives would grow together In sad or singing weather， Brown fields or flowerful closes， Green pleasure or grey grief； If love were what the rose is， And I were like the leaf. A.C.Swinburne 学语言： 第一首诗分为五个小节，每节四行，每小节第二行与第四行押韵（knows、 goes、 can、 ran、 kite、 night、 blew、 too、 goes、 knows），属于隔行押韵模式。其中第三小节是虚拟条件句，表示对现在的虚拟，从句谓语动词用过去式，主句谓语用“would＋动词原形”。 第二首诗仅有两个小节，每节四行，也是隔行押韵模式（die、fly、go、snow）。诗人使用了暗喻的修辞手法，将没有梦想的人生比喻成“断翅的鸟”与“冰封的荒野”；在诗人看来，没有梦想的人生是没有意义的，只有抓住梦想才有明天的进步。 第三首诗的押韵模式为 abccabab。另外，诗人还使用了比喻、反复等修辞手法。 学结构： 第一首诗《山上的风》是由英国编剧A.A.米尔恩创作的儿童格律诗，主要描述了大自然的风带给人的感受。 第二首诗《梦想》由美国著名诗人兰斯顿·休斯创作，主要描述了梦想的重要性。 第三首诗是英国诗人A.C.斯温伯恩创作的爱情诗《佳偶》的节选片段，主要表达了对爱情的忠诚与执着。
【参考译文】
山上的风
　　　没有人能够告诉我，
也没有人会知道，
风来自哪里，
又将去往哪里。
它从一个地方吹来，
尽它所能，飞快地吹来，
我不能赶上它，
即使我奔跑。　　　　但如果我停下来，
不再紧握我手中的风筝线，
它将被风吹跑，
一天一夜。
后来当我发现它，
它吹向任何地方，
我会知道风，
也曾经去过那里。　　　　所以当我能告诉他们，
风去了哪里……
但是风从哪里来，
没有人知道。
　　　　　——A.A.米尔恩
　　　　　　　　梦想
　　　　紧紧抓住梦想，
因为梦想若是死亡，
生命就像鸟儿折断了翅膀，
再也不能飞翔。
紧紧抓住梦想，
因为梦想一旦消逝，
生活变成荒芜的田野，
被冰封雪盖。
　　　　　　——兰斯顿·休斯　　　　　　　　　　　　
佳偶
　　　　如果爱情是玫瑰，
而我是绿叶，
我们的生命将一起成长，
无论天气阴沉还是晴朗，
处在丰饶的原野或花径，
感受绿色的欢乐或灰色的苦闷；
如果爱情是玫瑰，
而我是绿叶。
　　　　　　——A.C.斯温伯恩

Step 1　品教材课文
WIND ON THE HILL
No one can tell me，
Nobody knows，
Where the wind comes from，
Where the wind goes.
It’s flying from somewhere
As fast as it can，
I couldn’t keep up with it，
Not if I ran.
But if I stopped holding
The string of my kite，　
It would blow with the wind
For a day and a night.
And then when I found it，
Wherever it blew，
I should know that the wind
Had been going there too.
So then I could tell them
Where the wind goes ...
But where the wind comes from
Nobody knows.
A. A. Milne　　
DREAM
Hold fast to dreams，
For if dreams die
Life is a broken-winged bird
That cannot fly.
Hold fast to dreams，
For when dreams go
Life is a barren field
Frozen with snow.
Langston Hughes
A MATCH
If love were what the rose is，
And I were the leaf，
Our lives would grow together
In sad or singing weather，　
Brown fields or flowerful closes，
Green pleasure or grey grief；
If love were what the rose is，
And I were like the leaf.
A. C. Swinburne
Step 2　析写作手法
学语言：
第一首诗分为五个小节，每节四行，每小节第二行与第四行押韵
（knows、 goes、 can、 ran、 kite、 night、 blew、 too、 goes、
knows），属于隔行押韵模式。其中第三小节是虚拟条件句，表示对
现在的虚拟，从句谓语动词用过去式，主句谓语用“would＋动词原
形”。
第二首诗仅有两个小节，每节四行，也是隔行押韵模式（die、fly、
go、snow）。诗人使用了暗喻的修辞手法，将没有梦想的人生比喻成
“断翅的鸟”与“冰封的荒野”；在诗人看来，没有梦想的人生是没
有意义的，只有抓住梦想才有明天的进步。
第三首诗的押韵模式为 abccabab。另外，诗人还使用了比喻、反复等
修辞手法。
学结构：
第一首诗《山上的风》是由英国编剧A. A. 米尔恩创作的儿童格律
诗，主要描述了大自然的风带给人的感受。
第二首诗《梦想》由美国著名诗人兰斯顿·休斯创作，主要描述了梦想
的重要性。
第三首诗是英国诗人A. C. 斯温伯恩创作的爱情诗《佳偶》的节选片
段，主要表达了对爱情的忠诚与执着。
【参考译文】
山上的风
　　　　　没有人能够告诉我，
也没有人会知道，
风来自哪里，
又将去往哪里。
它从一个地方吹来，
尽它所能，飞快地吹来，
我不能赶上它，
即使我奔跑。
但如果我停下来，
不再紧握我手中的风筝线，
它将被风吹跑，
一天一夜。
后来当我发现它，
它吹向任何地方，
我会知道风，
也曾经去过那里。
所以当我能告诉他们，
风去了哪里……
但是风从哪里来，
没有人知道。

（2024·长沙高二下学期质检）A new report from the UK says that
more than 1 in 5 teens there spend five hours or more per day on social
media. And the heavier users of social media get to bed later and get
poorer quality sleep. The new study was based on self-reported survey data
from nearly 12，000 teenage participants in the UK Millennium Cohort
Study.
Megan Moreno， a researcher at the University of Wisconsin-
Madison， says that social media is too often described as either entirely
good or bad， when the reality is more complicated for teens. “Social
media may have its problems， but it is the way that they stay in touch
with each other，” she says.
Perhaps unsurprisingly， the study found a link between high social
media usage and poor sleep patterns. Specifically， teens who report
heavier social media use go to sleep later. And， the study authors note，
late bedtimes are linked with poorer academic and mental health
outcomes.
Holly Scott， a researcher at the University of Glasgow， isn’t
sounding the alarm. She says，“It’s easy to look at the results of this
and think，‘We should just get teenagers to spend less time on social
media.’ I think that’s an understandable response， but what I really
encourage people to do is look beyond that.” She says people should pay
attention to the “important emotional and social factors” at play when
teenagers are using social media.
Scott emphasizes that the study is pointing to a correlation between
social media and poor sleep， but not necessarily demonstrating cause and
effect.
“Certainly some teens do say that they struggle to get rid of social
media at night — they might be worried about missing out on things， or
affecting their friends by not answering messages — and they stay up late
from that，” she says. “But maybe for some of those young people they
have a naturally later body clock， and are passing their free time at night
on social media until they’re ready to fall asleep.”

　　Learning a second language can have a positive effect on the brain，
even if it is taken up in adulthood， a University of Edinburgh study
suggests.
Researchers found that reading， verbal fluency and intelligence were
improved in a study of 262 people tested either aged 11 or in their
seventies.
A previous study suggested that being bilingual could delay the
beginning of dementia （痴呆） by several years. The big question in this
study was whether learning a new language improved cognitive functions
or whether individuals with better cognitive abilities were more likely to
become bilingual.
Dr Thomas Bak， from the Centre for Cognitive Ageing and
Cognitive Epidemiology at the University of Edinburgh， said he believed
he had found the answer.
Using data from intelligence tests on 262 Edinburgh-born individuals
at the age of 11， the study looked at how their cognitive abilities had
changed when they were tested again in their seventies.
According to the research， all participants said they were able to
communicate in at least one language other than English. Of that group，
195 learned the second language before the age of 18， and 65 learned it
after that time.
The findings indicate that those who spoke two or more languages had
significantly better cognitive abilities compared to what would have been
expected from their baseline test. The strongest effects were seen in
general intelligence and reading. The effects were present in those who
learned their second language early， as well as later in life.
Dr Bak said the pattern they found was “meaningful” and the
improvements in attention， focus and fluency could not be explained by
original intelligence. These findings are of considerable practical
relevance.
Dr Alvaro Pascual-Leone， professor of medicine at Harvard Medical
School in Boston， US， said：“The study provides an important first
step in understanding the impact of learning a second language and the
ageing brain. This research paves the way for future causal studies of
bilingualism and cognitive decline prevention.”

（2024·郑州高二下学期期末）I work as the reception manager at
my hotel.A booking came in a few weeks ago with a note attached that a
guest would be travelling with her deaf father.This note helped us in
preparing for their arrival.As they would be here for a number of days，
his daughter wanted to make his trip to Ireland as smooth as possible.
Upon seeing this note and knowing I would be the one to check them
in， I decided to learn some very basic sign language.I greeted the guest in
my usual fashion， asking for the surname on the booking.Once I heard
the name，I immediately realised who was standing in front of me.
I had been learning for two weeks how to say： “Welcome to
Ireland.My sign language is terrible， but please， if you need anything
during your stay， just let me know and we will help you.”
I smiled at the father and daughter in front of me.Turning to the
father， I greeted him in ASL （American Sign Language） and began the
bit I had learned for him.His daughter broke down crying and told me I
was sweet.But the father just smiled and was so happy.Honestly， seeing
his reaction was enough for me.It was absolutely worth the last few weeks
of learning basic ASL.
Sadly， I wasn’t working the day they checked out， but they left a
gift for me， a small box with some chocolates and a book on ASL. Inside
was a note saying：“Thank you very much for what you did.My father
has been in amazing spirits from the time you checked us in and insisted
we get you a gift before we left.You have no idea how much this meant to
my father and me， and we can’t thank you enough.You’ve made his
trip very special with one simple gesture.”
I cried for a solid five minutes when I came into work the next day
and found this gift in my locker.

　　（2024·湖州高二下学期期末）Polar bears are strong creatures，
standing up to nine feet tall and weighing up to one thousand pounds.13.
（　　） Their snow-white coat is thick， with a double layer of
fur.Also， a layer of fat lies just under their skin， keeping them extra
warm.For months， polar bears have to live off this fat， gained from
winter feedings on the ice.When they’re on land， they barely eat.
In early November 2016， the polar bears were still on land.There
was no sea ice on Hudson Bay.Weeks passed.14.（　　） So the polar
bears had to wait longer to return to the sea.
The warmer climate affected the polar bears in important ways.In the
1980s， Hudson Bay bears were bigger and rounder， well fed.15.
（　　） That’s because with fewer weeks on ice， their hunting season
has become shorter.They have less food.In Hudson Bay， polar bear
numbers have dropped.
In 2016， the water in Hudson Bay didn’t freeze until 12
December.That was very late.“Sea ice is finally forming，” one
scientist reported.“The polar bears are moving quickly offshore.”
The Arctic — the polar bears’ habitat — is changing.Temperatures
have gone up about 3 degrees Celsius （℃） since 1900.16.（　　） In
2017， it was 30 percent smaller than it was twenty-five years earlier.And
each year， the remaining ice cover is melting faster and faster.
17. （　　） Certain gases in the atmosphere — “greenhouse
gases” — hold in heat， keeping it from escaping into space.Higher
temperatures bring changes in plant and animal life， in sources of
food and water， and in rainfall and snowfall， floods and
droughts.Habitats around the world are at risk.
A. They are built for the cold.
B. The ice cover is shrinking， too.
C. In the Arctic， winter used to come early.
D. Thousands of polar bears live in the Arctic.
E. By December， there was still barely any ice at all.
F. Recently they’ve been losing weight and becoming weaker.
G. The fact is that our entire planet is getting warmer， not just the
Arctic.

My Favourite Poet in the Tang Dynasty
　　The Tang Dynasty was the golden age of Chinese poetry， during
which tens of thousands of poems were written.Among the most famous
Tang poets were Li Bai， Du Fu， and Bai Juyi.
　　My favourite poet in the Tang Dynasty is Du Fu， who was one of the
greatest Chinese poets who ever lived.
　　Known as “Poet-Sage” and “Poet-Historian”， Du Fu wrote
with a realistic style and gave a vivid account of what’s happening in his
age.Reading his poems helps us to know more about the Tang
Dynasty.More importantly， Du Fu showed great concern over poor
people’s lives.Many of his poems reflected on the great gap between the
rich and the poor， and the effects of war on the people.

breaks.
　　One day， as Emily walked through the hallway， she noticed a
colourful poster announcing an upcoming English poetry competition.Her

her mind was immediately flooded with doubts.“What if my poem is not
good enough？ What if everyone laughs at me？” she thought to

to participate and her fear of failure.She talked with her best friend，
Sarah， who had been by her side since they were little.She was known
for her outgoing personality and her ability to make everyone feel
included.
　　“You have a gift， Emily，” Sarah said reassuringly， her blue
eyes filled with encouragement.“Don’t let your fears hold you
back.You never know what might happen unless you try.”

submit her poem for the competition.As the day of the event drew near，
she felt a mix of nervousness and expectation.She spent hours perfecting
her poem， carefully choosing each word and line to convey her
emotions.She practiced her poem in front of the mirror， trying to perfect
her delivery and expression.
　　But despite her newfound confidence， Emily couldn’t shake off the
feeling of doubt in her mind.These thoughts consumed her， making it
difficult for her to focus on anything else.
　　It was during one of these moments of self-doubt that Sarah came to
her rescue once again.“You’re an amazing writer， Emily，” she
said， her voice filled with warmth and sincerity.“Your poem is going to
be incredible.Just believe in yourself！”With Sarah’s words in her
