高考英语阅读表达练习

　　第一篇：

　　Social media sadness

　　Are you a social media addict? Are you always checking your smartphone to see how many 'likes' you've received for your latest post? Maybe you feel comforted by the notification sound that someone has sent you a message?

　　Don't worry, you're not alone. We check our phones an average of 150 times a day, and around 30% of the total time spent online is dedicated to social media. Some experts now fear this habit could be damaging our mental health.

　　This is something particularly afflicting(使受苦) young adults, according to a study from the University of Pittsburgh. It found the more they used social media, the more likely they are to be depressed. In tests, those people who checked social media frequently were 2.7 times more likely to be depressed compared to those who spent most of their time generally surfing the internet, who had just 1.7 times the risk. The study found that exposure to “highly idealised representations of peers on social media elicits(引出) feelings of envy and the distorted belief that others lead happier, more successful lives.”

　　Some of us certainly feel sad when we're ignored on social media sites, or when we see someone else having a better time than us. But depression is a more serious condition and clinical psychologist, Abigael San, recently told the BBC that, "It’s a real issue, and it’s been getting significantly worse over the last 5-6 years. You can get so hooked(上瘾的) that it takes you away from your real relationships." However, Abigael does admit that social media is more likely to exacerbate(使恶化) pre-existing(既往病史) issues than directly cause them.

　　Other research by Glasgow University found that teenagers are affected by the 24-hour demands of their social media accounts. It found that those with higher levels of emotional investment in social media, and who use it at night, were more likely to feel depressed and anxious.

　　Despite these warning signs, why do some of us continue to keep clicking? Well, I suppose we all want to be liked and we don't want to miss out on a conversation that's taking place online. But we need to know when to switch off our virtual(虚拟的) online world and connect with the real world instead.

　　第二篇：

　　Hank Viscardi was born without legs. He had not legs but stumps(残肢)that could be fitter with a kind of special boots. People stared at him with cruel interest. Children laughed at him and called him 'Ape Man'(猿人) because his arms practically dragged on the ground.

　　Hank went to school like other boys. His grades were good and he needed only eight years to finish his schooling instead of the usual twelve. After graduating from school, he worked his way through college. He swept floors, waited on table, or worked in one of the college offices. During all this busy life, he had been moving around on his stumps. But one day the doctor told him even the stumps were not going to last much longer. He would soon have to use a wheel chair.

　　Hank felt himself got cold all over. However, the doctor said there was a chance that he could be fitted with artificial legs (假腿). Finally a leg maker was found and the day came when Hank stood up before the mirror. For the first time he saw himself as he has always wanted to be-a full five feet eight inches tall. By this time he was already 26 years old.

　　Hank had to learn to use his new legs. Again and again he marched the length of the room, and marched back again. There were times when he fell down on the floor, but he pulled himself up and went back to the endless marching. He went out on the street. He climbed stairs and learned to dance. He built a boat and learned to sail it.

　　When World War II came, he convinced the Red Cross into giving him a job. Although they didn’t agree at first, they were moved by his courage and strong will. He took the regular training. He marched and drilled along with the other soldiers. Few knew that he was legless. This was the true story of Hank Viscardi, a man without legs.

　　61. Why did children laugh at Hank and call him ‘Ape Man’?(No more than 10 words)

　　62. How did Hank get around before he was fitted with artificial-legs?(No more than 10 words)

　　63. What did Hank most desire all the time?(No more than 15 words)

　　64. What does the underlined word “convinced” in the last Paragraph mean?(only one word)

　　65. Please explain how are you inspired by Hank?(No more than 20 words)
