Concerns about the harm caused bu “too much” screen time—

particularly when it is spent on

social media

—are widespread. But working out what a “healthy”____41___might be is far from

easy.

Some

negative

experiences

on

social

media

—

like___42____how

your

appearance

compares

to

others

—

do

affect

some

children.

However,

this

does

not

mean

that

technology

use

in

___43___is harmful and it is difficult to make claims about how it will affect different people.

painted

by

a

UNICEF

review

of

existing

research

into

the

effects

of

digital technology on children’s ___44___ comfo

rts, including happiness, mental health and social

life. Rather than stating that social media was harmful, it suggested a more ____45_____effect.

The

UNICEF

report

highlighted

a

2017

stuady

It

is

one

of

few

studies

actually

___49___

the

effects

of

technology

over

time.

It

suggested

with

children

who

watched one hour of televison or less on a weekday, a

small increase in conduct problems was

seen

among

those

who

watched

more

than

three

hours

time

spend

looking

screens?

is

speaking,

people___52_____

that

too

much

sugar

can

be

bad

for

effect

it

have

can

the

type

of

sugar

to

Section B

Directions:

Read the following three passages. Each passage is followed by several

questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A,

B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the

passage you have just read.

(A)

The cold northern wind here in the streets of Petersburg strengthens my nerves

5

and

fills

me

with

delight.

I

cannot

think

of

the

Pole

as

cold

and

empty;in

my

imagination it is a region of beauty and delight. Who knows what strange landscapes

and

creatures

we

may

find

there.

I

shall

satisfy

my

curiosity

with

the

sight

of

an

unknown part of the world-and walk where no man has ng of it, I feel

the same joy a child feels when he sails his little boat on a voyage of discovery up his

native river.

This

voyage

was

the

favorite

dream

of

my

early

years.

My

education

was

neglected, yet I was passionately fond of reading. Uncle Thomas's library contained

only books about exploration, which I read day and night. Finally my thoughts comes

to the idea of making a voyage of discovery.

Six years have passed since

I decided on the present voyage. I can, even now,

remember

the

hour

when

I

committed

myself

to

this

great

enterprise.

I

began

by

making my body used to hardship. I went on whale hunting voyages to the North Sea;

I

voluntarily

endured

cold,

hunger,

thirst,

and

lack

of

sleep.

I

often

worked

harder

than the common sailors during the day. Then, at nights,

I studied mathematics, the

theory

of

medicine,and

sciences

of

practical

importance

for

a

seagoing

adventurer.

Twice I took jobs as an officer on a Greenland whaling ship. I felt a little proud when

my captain asked me to remain with the ship, so valuable did he consider my services.

And

now,

do

I

not

deserve

to

achieve

some

great

task?

My

life

might

have

been

passed in ease and comfort, but I preferred glory to every pleasure that wealth placed

in my path.

does the author think of the Pole?

reminds him of his childhood.

B. It must be a region full of surprises.

C. It would fulfil his dream to be an adventurer.

D. It's too cold a destination with almost nothing.

57. To realize his childhood dream, the author got _______.

A. physically prepared by experiencing great suffering

B. spiritually prepared by gaining captain's recognition

C. academically prepared by reading books on exploration

D. financially prepared by serving on a whale hunting ship.

58. According to the passage, the author is definitely a person full of _______.

A. curiosity

B. fancy

C. perseverance
