In 1936, Hemingway wrote in a magazine that Carlos had told him about an old fisherman who caught a great marlin alone.Three years later, Hemingway told his editor Max Perkins that he was planning a short story about the old commercial fisherman who fought the swordfish all alone in his sailing boat. Instead, he ended up writing For Whom the Bell Tolls, not returning to the story about the old fisherman until January 1951. It won him the Pulitzer in 1953, and was specifically cited when he was awarded the Nobel Prize in 1954.24. What does the underlined phrase “laying out” in the second paragraph mean?A. Discussing.B.

Which is the correct order of time for the following facts in the passage?①Hemingway wrote a letter to describe his adventure.②Hemingway caught a big blue marlin.③The letter was sold at auction.④The Old Man and The Sea won the Nobel Prize.A. ①③②④B. ②①④③C. ②④①③D. ②③①④英语试题卷第5页(共12页)CUniversity of Pennsylvania researchers say that for the first time they have linked social media use to increases in depression and loneliness. The idea that social media is anything but social when it comes to mental health has been talked about for years, but not many studies have managed to actually link the two. To do that, Penn researchers, led by psychologist Melissa Hunt, designed a study that focused on WeChat, Snapchat and Instagram.The study was conducted with 143 participants, who before they began, completed a mood survey and sent along photos of their battery screens, showing how often they were using their phones to access social media. “We set out to do a much more complete study which attempts to imitate real life.” Hunt said.The study divided the participants into two groups: The first group was allowed to maintain their normal social media habits. The other, the control group, was restricted to 10 minutes per day on social media. The restrictions were put in place for three weeks and then the participants returned and were tested for outcomes such as fear of missing out, anxiety, depression and loneliness.The results showed a very clear link between social media use and increased levels of depression and loneliness. “Using less social media than you normally d o would lead to significant decreases in both depression and loneliness,” Hunt said.Social media invites what Hunt calls “downward social comparison.” “When you’re online, it can sometimes seem that everyone else is cooler and having more fun and included in more things and you’re left out,” Hunt said. And that’s just generally discouraging. “Every minute you spend online is a minute you are not doing your work or not meeting a friend for dinner or having a deep conversation with your roommate.” And these real life activities are the ones that can encourage self-esteem and self-worth, Hunt added.“People are on their devices, and that’s not going to change,” she said. But as in life, a bit of control goes a long way.28. Before the study was conducted, the participants completed a survey to .A. imitate people’s real lifeB. link loneliness to depressionC. show their use of social mediaD. prove social media is important英语试题卷第6页(共12页)29.

In Hunt’s opinion, which activity benefits more to mental health?A. Hiking out with friends.B. Making comparison with others.C. Playing computer games in spare time.D. Logging onto social media and having fun.31. Which can be the best title of the passage?A. A Study on Social Media.B. How to Improve Mental Health.C. People Addicted to Social Media.D. Social Media Influences Mental Health.D“Big tobacco” is what the bosses of several large technology firms have started calling Facebook. Being compared to the tobacco giants is far from praise, but it is not the only wide-spread analogy(比拟). A lower blow is the suggestion that Facebook may become like Yahoo, the once high-flying internet firm that fell.Even a year ago the idea would have been unthinkable. But since January Facebook has become trapped in a series of misjudgments and missteps. It became clear that it had done too little to stop Russian interference(干涉) in America’s election in 2016. It had to admit that it had shared the personal data of 90m users with outside firms without permission.The comparison to Yahoo i s imperfect. Even at its peak Yahoo’s business was never as large and profitable as Facebook’s. One of the main reasons Yahoo declined is because it lost out to a powerful competitor, Google, in online search; Marissa Mayer, its boss from 2012 until its sale to Verizon last year, was unable to restore advertisers’ or employees’ confidence as users left.But people who watched Yahoo’s falling see similarities. Executive(主管) turnover was a leading indicator of its decline; before Ms. Mayer was hired Yahoo went through four chief executives in three years. Mr. Zuckerberg, who controls the majority of Facebook’s voting shares, is not leaving, but many top executives are. This year several have announced their departures, including Facebook’s chief security office r.When advertisers’ faith in Facebook has been shaken, politicians in Washington are running out of patience with the company. Lawmakers’ inspection of the firm is causing it to be more cautious about how it uses data for targeting advertisements and about what information it makes available to outsiders.英语试题卷第7页(共12页)Mr. Zuckerberg and Ms. Sandberg are under pressure to prove to employees and advertisers that Facebook is not only trustworthy but worthy of their time and money. If they cannot do so, and the company’s s hare price continues its slide, it is possible that Ms. Sandberg will be replaced in the next year. Mr. Zuckerberg will doubtless have thoughts about Yahoo’s sorry tale.32. For Facebook, being compared to “big tobacco” is _______.A. positiveB. ambitiousC. creativeD. negative33. According to the author, what does Facebook currently have in common with the failedYahoo?A. Letting out users’ data.B. Being deep in financial crisis.C. Leaders are leaving the company.D. Laying off a large number of employees.34. The author tries to support his judgment about Facebook by ________.A. questioning its managementB. using evidence related to itC. analyzing its financial dataD. listing its advantages and disadvantages35. What is the main idea of the passage?A. Facebook gets trapped in trouble.B. Two companies are deep in crisis.C. How to save Facebook.D. Faith is more valuable than gold.第二节(共5小题;每小题2分,满分10分)根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。
