22、Our teenagers are lonely. A new study by Harvard’s Making Caring Common (MCC) shows just how that feeling has been common and become serious during the past year when we had to keep the social distance. One year’s online learning and life in the bedrooms rather than the classrooms or dorm rooms can make teenagers feel lonelier than before. Teenagers have been more likely to be influenced by loneliness than older adults.
Experiencing loneliness is certainly sad, but it is also perilous. Researchers found that 63% of the young were suffering from bad sleep, anxiety, and poor health during the lockdown(活动限 制 ) and that nearly a quarter had started or increased some bad habits, including smoking, drinking and staying up late to deal with their feelings.
About half of the young people in the study, who said they had felt lonely, explained that over the past weeks not one person had taken more than just a few minutes to ask how they had been lately. It made them feel they had no one who really cared about them. Their parents thought they had much free time after lessons and it seemed that they only worried whether their children could perform their schoolwork at the level they once did. They didn’t know the problem.
Sian Leah Beilock, the president of Barnard College, explains that young people depend on social media, which makes them especially weak to social media’s harms. She also suggests that fewer close friends may explain some of the feelings of loneliness. She reports that in 1985 the average American had three close friends with whom they could share important things about their lives. In 2004, that number had dropped to just two friends. And in 2019. one in five millennials(千禧一代) had no friends at all.
These levels of loneliness are heartbreaking. MCC suggests, as a nation, we first should focus on teaching the young to make meaningful connections between people and support them.
【1】What is the finding of MCC’S study?
A.Every teenager has lonely moments.
B.Parent-child communication becomes less.
C.Teenagers care too much about others’ opinions.
D.Lockdown lifestyles increase teenagers’ loneliness.
【2】What does the underlined word “perilous” in Paragraph 2 probably mean?
A.Dangerous.
B.Funny.
C.Helpful.
D.Uncommon.
【3】What do the young people’s words in the study mean?
A.Their parents misunderstood them.
B.They found their schoolwork heavy.
C.They needed more care and attention.
D.Their online courses made them bored.
【4】Which of the following may Sian Leah Beilock agree with?
A.Teenagers are short of outdoor exercise.
B.Teenagers should make more close friends in real life.
C.Teenagers enjoy developing close relationships online.
D.Teenagers should avoid sharing important things online.
23、Jack was born without eyes. He was very lucky as he grew up having other kittens (young cats) to socialize (交往) with, and was used to people from the moment he was born. However, when it came time to find the kittens homes, no one knew where Jack would end up.
That’s when I got an e-mail from my friend. All she asked was “Do you still want one of the kittens? There’s one here with no eyes and no one would like to take him”. Without thinking I told her that I did want the kitten.
When we first brought him home, Jack stayed mostly in my room. After about a day he had no issues running around and climbing on everything. At times he gets lost in the house, he’ll stop. But we just call his name and talk to him and it isn’t long before he finds his way back to us.
A few weeks after getting Jack, we got a new cat named Bear. Jack and Bear have become best friends. It doesn’t matter that he can’t see. He always knows when Bear is around. He’ll run across the yard straight to Bear and wrap his front legs around his neck in a big hug. They run after each other around and wrestle (摔跤). They’ll lie down in the grass together when tired.
Jack is truly an inspiration. I’ve owned lots of kittens in my life, but Jack is the happiest and most playful. He doesn’t feel sorry for himself. He doesn’t need pity. I think Jean, owner of Gumbo, another eyeless cat, said it best when she told me that cats don’t have disabilities; they have adaptability.
【1】Why did Jack come to the author’s home?
A.The author cared for an eyeless cat.
B.The author didn’t mind whether he was blind.
C.No other young cats kept him company.
D.The author’s friend begged the author to take him home.
【2】Which of the following statements is TRUE?
A.Jack often wrestles with Bear indoors.
B.Jack likes to play with a new eyeless cat.
C.Jack quickly adapts to the new environment.
D.Jack is good at talking and playing with people.
【3】What does the underlined word “issue” in Paragraph 3 mean?
A.Trouble.
B.Fun.
C.Luck.
D.Business.
【4】What does the passage mainly tell us?
A.A cat has nine lives.
B.All is well that ends well.
C.God helps those who help themselves.
D.A good beginning makes a good ending.
24、Mattel is honoring frontline workers with Barbie dolls modeled on real-life doctors and nurses. Among them is a doll version of Amy O’Sullivan. She’s a nurse at the Wyckoff Heights Medical Center. That’s in Brooklyn, New York. O’Sullivan appeared on the cover of TIME last year. The doll has hand-painted tattoos, silver hair, and colorful socks like those O’Sullivan wears to work every day.
O’Sullivan was touched by these details. “I used to get a hard time from the administrators about my tattoos and my hair and my pants being rolled up,” she says. “But I didn’t want to be like anyone else… I had no role models when I was growing up. This, I think, shows kids it’s okay to be different. It encourages them to be themselves.”
There are five other dolls in the program. One is modeled on Dr. Audrey Sue Cruz, from Las Vegas, Nevada, who fights racial prejudice against Asian-American physicians. Another is for Dr. Chika Stacy Oriuwa, from Canada, who is fighting racism in the healthcare system. Next is Sarah Gilbert, a professor in the United Kingdom who helped develop a new medication. There’s a doll for Dr. Jaqueline Goés de Jesus, a researcher who led work around the COVID-19 variant in Brazil. And there is Dr. Kirby White, from Australia. She developed reusable personal protective equipment, or PPE, for doctors.
Each woman was presented with her own one-of-a-kind doll. The honoring dolls are not for sale, but Mattel announced it will donate $5 for every doctor or nurse Barbie sold at Target Corporation. Mattel launched the campaign last year to give back to communities in need. “This fall, admittedly, we thought we would be further along in the pandemic,” Lisa McKnight says. She’s a senior vice president at Mattel and the global brand manager for Barbie. “But it is important to honor these amazing medical workers across the globe as we continue to face a difficult time.”
【1】Which of the following is true of O’Sullivan?
A.She loves dressing up as a doll.
B.She had a hard time financially.
C.She sees growing up differently as OK.
D.She tried to cover up her hand-painted tattoos.
【2】What do the five other dolls have in common?
A.They are modeled on the medical workers from the same continent.
B.They are designed in support of doctors striving for racial equality.
C.They are manufactured to honor frontline workers with doctor degrees.
D.They are presented to females who’ve contributed to the medical field.
【3】It can be inferred from the last paragraph that ____________.
A.Mattel is probably the name of a frontline medical worker
B.China’s outstanding doctors may receive dolls modeled on them
C.you can get the honoring dolls for free as long as you donate $5
D.communities in need have made a great contribution to the campaign
【4】What is probably the best title of the passage?
A.TIME’s Person of the Year
B.Thank You Everyday Heroes
C.Barbie dolls make a comeback
D.Mattel Honors Frontline Workers
