【答案】8.A9.B10.C11.D

【解析】

【分析】本文是说明文。文章主要介绍了对社交媒体上瘾会危害我们的心理健康，我们需要知道什么时候关闭我们的虚拟在线世界，转而与现实世界连接。

【8题详解】

细节理解题。根据第三段最后一句Intests,thosepeoplewhocheckedsocialmediafrequentlywere2.7timesmorelikelytobedepressedcomparedtothosewhospentmostoftheirtimegenerallysurfingtheInternet,whohadjust1.7timestherisk.及第五段最后一句Itfoundthemoretheyusedsocialmedia,themorelikelytheyweretobedepressed.可知，调查发现，他们越多地使用社交媒体，就越有可能感到沮丧。经常查看社交媒体的人更容易感到沮丧和抑郁。故选A。

【9题详解】

推理判断题。第三段说经常查看社交媒体的人更有可能抑郁，第四段Someofuscertainlyfeelsadwhenwe’reignoredonsocialmediasites,orwhenweseesomeoneelsehavingabettertimethanus.可知，引用的作用是说明当我们在社交媒体网站上被忽略，或者当我们看到别人比我们有更好的时间时，我们当中有些人当然感到难过；即引用阿比盖尔桑（AbigaelSan）的话是为了支持全文的观点-——-经常查看社交媒体会让人抑郁，损害人的心理健康。故选B。

【10题详解】

推理判断题。根据文章内容，尤其是第一段中Areyoualwayscheckingyoursmartphonetoseehowmany“likes”you’vereceivedforyourlatestpost以及最后一段Well,Isupposeweallwanttobelikedandwedon’twanttomissoutonaconversationthat’stakingplaceonline.可以推测出，人们沉迷于社交媒体不能自拔的原因是因为他们想吸引更多的关注。故选C。

【11题详解】

主旨大意题。文章的第三段点题，结合全文的整体内容可知，本文主要讲述了沉迷于社交媒体会危害我们的心理健康，社交媒体成瘾导致抑郁症。故选D。

【答案】12.D13.A14.C15.B

【解析】

【导语】本文是一篇说明文。动物对自然灾害发生前的温度和其他环境条件的变化可能比人类更敏感。有的科学家认为，我们可以利用动物的这一特点建立一种预警系统，但动物行为科学家玛MarinaHaynes认为这是不可靠的。

【12题详解】

细节理解题。根据第一段的第二句和第三句“Butatmid-morningelephantsintheparkbegancryingwildlyandchargingawayfromtheoceanandupanearbyhill.Thepuzzledkeeperscouldtelltheanimalswereworriedaboutsomething.”（但在上午10点左右，公园里的大象开始疯狂地叫，并从海边冲到附近的山上。困惑的饲养员可以看出动物们在担心什么）可知，大象的表现很反常。故选D项。

【13题详解】

推理判断题。根据第三段的句子“Afterthe2023tsunami,peoplesaidtheysawtigers,monkeys,andwaterbuffaloescapingtohighergroundbeforethewatersrushedin.Eveninthehardest-hitareasofsouthernAsia,therewerefewanimaldeaths.”（在2023年的海啸之后，人们说他们看到老虎、猴子和水牛在洪水冲进来之前逃到了更高的地方。即使在受灾最严重的南亚地区，也很少有动物死亡。）可知，通过列举例子来说明动物有第六感，故选A项。

【14题详解】

主旨大意题。根据第四段的主要内容“It’sunlikelythatananimal’sso-calledsixthsensecomesfromsomemagicalpowertoseeintothefuture.Expertsbelievethatanimalsmaybemoresensitivethanhumanstochangesintemperatureandotherenvironmentalconditionsthattakeplacebeforeanaturaldisaster.TheelephantsinSriLanka,forexample,mayhavepickedupvibrations(震动)fromwithintheEarth,asignthatdangerwascoming.Becausevibrationsinthegroundtravelmuchfasterthananoceanwave,theelephantsmayhavefelttheearthquakethatcausedthetsunamiwellbeforethetsunamiitselfcametothecoast.”（动物所谓的第六感不太可能来自某种能预见未来的神奇力量。专家认为，动物对自然灾害发生前的温度和其他环境条件的变化可能比人类更敏感。例如，斯里兰卡的大象可能已经接收到了地球内部的振动，这是危险即将来临的信号。由于地面振动的传播速度比海浪快得多，大象可能在海啸袭击海岸之前就已经感受到了引发海啸的地震）可知，第四段主要讲的是“动物是如何预测自然灾害的”。故选C项。

【15题详解】

推理判断题。根据最后一段中Haynes所说的话“Itwouldbeanunreliablewaytopredictdisasters.Itcanbedifficulttoknowwhatananimalisdoing.Istheanimalnervousbecauseanearthquakeisabouttohappenorisitfrightenedbecausethereisanenemynearby”（这将是一种不可靠的预测灾难的方式。很难知道动物在做什么。这只动物是因为即将发生地震而紧张，还是因为附近有敌人而害怕？）可以推论出，Haynes认为通过动物的行为来预测灾难是不可靠的，所以他对此持怀疑态度。故选B项。

第二节(共5小题，每小题2分;计10分)

阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。

G.Herearesomereasonswhyself-improvementisimportantregardlessofyourage

【答案】16.G17.E18.C19.D20.B

【解析】

【分析】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要列举了人们需要自我完善的几点原因。

【16题详解】

根据上文说自我完善的重要性往往被忽视。而真相是你不能逃避它。而本文是文章第一段，引出话题——以下就是一些原因，无论你的年龄大小，自我完善都很重要。故选G。

【17题详解】

本段小标题是Increaseself-awareness(提高自我意识)，而选项中的they指代是就是上文的Self-awareness，也正是本段的主旨内容。可知，随着生活的继续，你会遇到不同的经历和挑战。是它们（自我意识）使你更了解你的个性、思想和感情。故选E。

【18题详解】

上文提到自我完善让你识别你的个人优势。由此可知，下文“了解你的优势很重要”切题。注意这里有同一个关键词strengths。故选C。

19题详解】

上文提到：然而，也会有你失败的时候。下文接着解释：不要让失败使你沮丧。上下文合乎逻辑，都讲的是失败时要怎么样，更切题。注意这里有同一个关键词failure。故选D。

【20题详解】

本题是选择段落标题。本段主要讲了那些致力于不断地自我完善的人，对学习有着极其积极的态度。所以，培养学习态度是最佳选项。故选B。

【点睛】七选五的解题技巧之一是根据上下文词汇来锁定线索。即：要关注空白前后的名词和动词，然后在选项中查找它们的近义词、反义词、同义词、同类词等。其次是一些专有名词，比如说数词、代词、时间、年代、地点/名称等。例如本文的第3题上下文中有同一个关键词strengths。故选C。和第4题上下文中也有同一个关键词failure。故选D。

第三部分语言运用(共两节，满分45分)
