【正确答案】5.D6.B7.D8.C

【导语】本文为说明文，介绍了合理的屏幕时间（使用社交媒体的时间）对儿童有益。

【5题详解】

主旨大意题。通读全文，特别是第一段"Screentimeisoftenconsideredtheenemywhenitcomesto

teachingkidstobeactive.However,anewresearchfoundthatfor9and10yearsoldchildrengreater

socialmediausewasrelatedtosomepositiveeffects,includingincreasedphysicalactivity,lessfamily

conflictandfewersleepproblems."（在教育孩子们积极主动方面，屏幕时间常常被视为敌人。然而,

一项新的研究发现，对于9岁和10岁的儿童来说，更多地使用社交媒体与一些积极的影响有关，

包括增加体力活动、减少家庭冲突和减少睡眠问题）可知，文章主要介绍了研究发现合理的屏幕时

间（（使用社交媒体的时间））对儿童有益，故选D。

【6题详解】

细节理解题。根据第三段“Inthestudy,childrenselfreportedactivitieslikewatchingTV,textingor

visitingsocialmediasites-andthetimespentoneach.Theywerealsoaskedaboutwhethertheyplay

maturevideogames.Theyratedtheirtimeonthemasnever,onceinawhileandallthetime.Kidsand

parentsreportonfamilyconflict.Parentsalsokepttrackofhowwellthekidssleptandfilledoutachecklist

thatassessedtheirchildren'sbehavior.”（在这项研究中，孩子们自我报告了看电视、发短信或访问社

交媒体网站等活动以及在这些活动上花费的时间。他们还被问及是否玩成年人玩的视频游戏。他们

将自己的时间评价为从不、偶尔和一直。孩子和父母报告家庭冲突。家长们还跟踪孩子们的睡眠情

况，并填写了一份评估孩子行为的清单）可知，研究人员是通过让家长和孩子报告屏幕时间的使用

情况来收集数据的，故选B。

【7题详解】

推理判断题。根据最后一段"DothesefindingsmeanthatparentsshouldbanTVsandsigntheirkidsup

for?Probablynot.PsychologistChrisFergusonofStetsonUniversitysaysthatthedifferencesidentifiedin

theresearcharesmall."（这些发现是否意味着家长应该禁止电视，让孩子注册推特？可能不会。斯

特森大学的心理学家克里斯・弗格森说，研究中发现的差异很小）可知，克里斯・弗格森对该研究的

发现持怀疑态度，故选D。

【8题详解】

推理判断题。通读全文可知，文章主要介绍了合理的屏幕时间（使用社交媒体的时间）对儿童有益,

这属于科学研究范畴，因此研究结果最有可能出自新闻报道，故选C。

E.Iknowthatmymusclesaregoingtobesoreagain.

F.Theywillseeweareabletoclimbandconquerthemountain.

G.Notbeingastrongfinishercanlimitourabilitytoconquerourgoals.

【正确答案】9.D10.A11.G12.E13.F

【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章分析我们生活中常见的半途而废的现象以及带来的影响。

【9题详解】

根据上文“Imagineclimbingamountainandgettinghalfwayupandsayingtoyourself,41Youknowwhat,

I'mgoingtoclimbbackdownandfinishthislater.（想象一下，你正在爬山，爬到半山腰的时候，你对

自己说：我先下山，以后再继续爬完）”可知，作者通过这样一种调侃的语调描述一种自欺欺人的说

法，只是为半途而废找一种借口。实际上不会再回来爬完。所以下句会直接摆明自己的观点，这听

起来很蠢，但实际上我们大多数人都这样。选项D"Soundssilly,butthatiswhatwedoallofthe

time.（这听起来很蠢，但这就是我们一直在做的事）”符合语义，故选D。

【10题详解】

根据上文“Wehaveprojectsthatsitwaitingtobecompleted.Somepeoplestartcollegebutnevergraduate.

Wehavebooksthatweneverfinishreading（我们有一些项目等待完成。有些人上了大学却从未毕业，

我们有些书永远看不完）”可知，这里举了三个半途而废的例子，下句会以一个概括句的形式进行总

结收尾。选项A“Thelistgoesonandon.（这样的例子不胜枚举）”符合语义，故选A。

【11题详解】

根据上文“Notfinishingwhatwestartedhasbeenarepeatedproblemforus.Wehavetofaceit.（对我们来

说，开始的事情没有完成是一个反复出现的问题。我们要面对它）”可知，这里讲述半途而废是一个

反复出现的问题，则下句要解释这一问题有哪些弊端，选项G64Notbeingastrongfinishercanlimit

ourabilitytoconquerourgoals.（不能成为一个强大的终结者会限制我们征服目标的能力）”，符合语义,

弓I出下文“Wheneverwedelay,orputtotheside,thethingsthatwillhelpusaccomplishourgoals,westop

developingourpotential.（每当我们拖延或搁置那些有助于我们实现目标的事情时，我们就会停止开

发自己的潜力）”讲拖延会停止开发自己的潜力。故选G。

【12题详解】

根据上文“Considerthis:everytimeIbeginanewexerciseprogrammymusclesaresoreforafewdays.

Afterafewweeksofroutine,themusclesgetaccustomedtotheprogramandgrowstronger.Thus,nomore

soremuscles.Well,whenItakesometimeoffIfearstartingagain.（想象一下：每次我重新锻炼，我的肌

肉会疼好几天。但经过几周的常规训练，肌肉会适应这个训练计划，变得更强壮，这时就没有了肌

肉酸痛。但当我休假的时候，我害怕重新开始）”可知，重新开始意味着新一轮的肌肉酸痛。选项

E"Iknowthatmymusclesaregoingtobesoreagain.（我知道我的肌肉又要酸痛了）”符合语义，故选

Eo

【13题详解】

根据上文“Alongwiththehugefeelingofaccomplishment,otherpeoplewillbegintonoticethechange.（伴

随着巨大的成就感，其他人也会开始注意到这种变化）”可知，下句会引出其他人看到的变化内容。

选项Ft4Theywillseeweareabletoclimbandconquerthemountain.（他们将看至!j我们能够攀登和征月艮

这座山）”符合语义，故选F。
