21、Mental health is deteriorating(恶化)among young people globally.The incidence of depression and anxiety is increasing, and this not only lowers quality of life, but can have a lasting negative impact as an adolescent reaches adulthood.
Many experts are trying to get at the root causes of this decline, in order to find ways to prevent further deterioration and to provide more effective help when needed. Two “emerging determinants of interest” are (a) over use of screen-based technology, and (b) too little time spent in nature. Most research to date has considered these factors independently, but a group of scientists from University of Adelaide recently decided to look at them jointly, to see if the combination of high screen time (ST) and low “green time” (GT), could affect mental wellbeing.
The result is published on September 4, 2020, in the scientific journal PLOS One. In it, the researchers analyzed data from 186 studies that looked at children's interactions with screen-based technology and nature and their psychological outcomes, including mental health, cognitive(认知的) functioning, and academic achievement.
What they found was that, in general, excessive screen time results in poorer psychological health, whereas green time improves mental wellbeing. Ten years ago in the U.S., the average daily screen time for 8-to-18-year-olds was 7.5 hours. As the study states, “This greatly exceeds recreational ST guidelines of 2 hours or less per day,” and is made even more challenging by the fact that so many schools are using technology to teach classes.
While some screen time can be beneficial, such as promoting connections and enabling tasks to be done more efficiently, there are many ways in which it is harmful. Excessive screen time “replaces important protective behaviors for mental health such as physical activity, getting adequate sleep, in-person social interactions, and academic activities.”
And yet, when children do go outside, they become more physically active. Their day-night rhythm is regulated, thanks to the exposure to sunlight, thus “encouraging healthy sleep-wake cycles and improved sleep, which is key for psychological well-being.”
【1】The research of the University of Adelaide is different because________?
A.The researchers tried to find the root causes.
B.The researchers analyzed large amounts of data.
C.The researchers tried to find a solution.
D.They combined ST and GT.
【2】What are the findings of their research?
A.Mental health is worsening among young people globally.
B.School technology contributes to the most screen time.
C.ST and GT have opposite impact on mental health.
D.Guidelines of screen time shouldn’t be more than two hours.
【3】Why does over screen time affect mental health?
A.It replaces mentally healthy behaviors.
B.There is too much unhealthy information on the screen.
C.Teens can’t break away from screen addiction.
D.Teens can’t sleep well after screen time.
【4】What is implied in the passage?
A.Over screen time worsens teens’ health.
B.Teens need more green time, less screen time.
C.Teens should be banned from any screen time.
D.Screen-based technology shouldn’t be allowed in schools.
22、The lifestyle of a college learner or someone taking a graduate course gets even busier at higher academic level as compared to that of a high school student. What everyone assume is that college life is supposed to be fun with a rich social life. However, all the bustle and hustle (熙熙攘攘 ) often leaves less time. 【1】 How can you ensure that doesn't happen and involve a healthy lifestyle into your daily routine?
Due to the high expectation placed on students, many experience high levels of pressure. 【2】 Continuous heavy workload eventually leads to depression, anxiety, inability to concentrate, and an increase in risky behavior. In that case, nowadays, students can get help with their assignments from their tutors or advisers.
【3】 Although it ' an essential part of a healthy lifestyle, even students who make it a New Year wish often give up on the goal. A workout partner comes in to keep you accountable, offer companionship and give you the push you need to make physical activity part of your routine. It's fun to work out with someone else with similar goals. 【4】
If you frequently over commit, you will eventually spend less time on things that really matter. After all, you are in school to learn, so attending classes, and completing assignments on time has to be your priority. The remaining few hours is for socializing or engaging in fun. If you find yourself saying yes to every invitation for fear of disappointing your friends, you will find yourself dealing with burn out. 【5】
A.A healthy lifestyle concerns some other aspects.
B.An unhealthy body increases the risk of diseases.
C.So don't promise too much and plan your time wisely.
D.It also gives you a chance to socialize away from the school environment.
E.Consequently, a healthy lifestyle takes a back seat, causing diseases and stress.
F.Working out regularly can be a struggle for most students with a busy schedule.
G.In fact, academic stress has become a lifestyle crisis affecting students at all academic levels.
23、In May, 2014, some Chinese tourists found a Chinese-character message “Ding Jinhao once visited here” on a statue of god in a 3500-year-old Egyptian temple. An angry tourist took the photograph of the scrawl and posted it on social media Sina Weibo. It was quickly spread and there were more than 100,000 comments during two weeks. Later, a 15-year-old Chinese boy was searched out as the person who caved this message. Many netizens expressed their anger and disappointment for the uncivilized behavior. They searched and identified the boy and then posted his personal information including the address and pictures online.
Over the weekend, his school’s website was hacked, and reporters flooded into his home in the city of Nanjing. Besieged by reporters, the child’s mother offered a formal apology for her son’s behavior. “We want to apologize to the Egyptian people and to people who have paid attention to this case across China.” the boy’s mother told the local newspaper.
With China’s economy booming over the past decades, a growing number of the country’s residents have become global tourists. Earlier this month, Chinese Vice Premier Wang Yang addressed: “Uncivilized behavior of some of tourists is giving this country a bad reputation abroad.” The discussion about Chinese quality was carried out on many media.
On the bright side, Egypt government described the damage to the temple as superficial(表面的)and could be restored and they would forgive the boy. While the act of Ding Jinhao symbolizes a national shame, meanwhile, many people concern about the child’s development and wish he could return to anonymity once more. “The boy has known his mistake and cried all night. He has to be moved around because reporters rushes to his house for interviews.” said a reporter who talked with the parents.
【1】The passage is mainly about ________.
A. Chinese tour in Egypt
B. the wave caused by Chinese uncivilized behavior
C. the discussion on Chinese education
D. the importance of Weibo

D. many people hope the boy can live back a normal life
24、A man called Jamaal Allan has revealed how his name has led to him being racially stereotyped (归类)throughout his life.
Jamaal, a high school teacher who grew up in southern Oregon of the USA, revealed that most people he meets are always surprised when they discover he's white. He said that one of the most common responses to his name is “I never would've guessed your name was Jamaal”. In a blog post he aired his thoughts on this, writing: "Really, are you frequently good at guessing people's names?” Another reaction to his name, he said, is '"you don't look like a Jamaal", to which he asked in response, "And how exactly does one look like a name?”
He wrote in the blog that some people, after meeting him, say “I thought you'd be…"and then pause with “a sudden realization they are on the verge of sounding racist", before finding a word such as “tailed or "older” to end the sentence with.
And his name once appeared to get him selected for a random security check on a trip to London in 2002, as the others picked out by officials were called Muhammad, Abdul and Tariq. He also explained that waitresses and waiters usually hand his credit card back to a black person at his table when he's dining out.
His name, which means “beauty" in Arabic, landed him his teaching job in Iowa, though. Jamaal said, “The principal who had hired me admitted that I was lucky to have gotten the job. They had not been planning to take another student-teacher when my application showed up. But, as they scanned through it and saw a Jamaal who plays basketball and counts Muhammad Ali among his heroes, they thought they 'could use a little diversity,'" said Jamaal.
Jamaal's dad was a fan of the Los Angeles Lakers basketball team and he was just named after one of their players, Jamaal Wilkes.
【1】What do most people think of Jamaal's name?
A.It sounds unattractive.
B.It is difficult to pronounce.
C.It is an untypical boy name.
D.It is unusual for a white man.
【2】Why were "Abdul" and "Tariq" selected for a random security check?
A.They were black people.
B.They used fake names.
C.They took others9 credit cards.
D.They were racially stereotyped.
【3】What does Paragraph 5 mainly talk about?
A.The meaning of Jamaal's name.
B.The start of Jamaal's career in Iowa.
C.The positive effect of Jamaal's name.
D.The happy ending of Jamaal's story.
【4】Why did the principal decide to hire Jamaal?
