26、Our teenagers are lonely. A new study by Harvard’s Making Caring Common (MCC) shows just how that feeling has been common and become serious during the past year when we had to keep the social distance. One year’s online learning and life in the bedrooms rather than the classrooms or dorm (宿舍) rooms can make teenagers feel lonelier than before. Teenagers have been more likely to be influenced by loneliness than older adults.
Experiencing loneliness is certainly sad, but it is also dangerous. Researchers found that 63% of the young were suffering from bad sleep, anxiety, and poor health during the lockdown (封闭) and that nearly a quarter had started or increased some bad habits, including smoking, drinking and staying up late to deal with their feelings.
About half of the young people in the study, who said they had felt lonely, explained that over the past weeks not one person had taken more than just a few minutes to ask how they had been lately. It made them feel they had no one who really cared about them. Their parents thought they had much free time after lessons and it seemed that they only worried about whether their children could perform their schoolwork at the level they once did. They didn’t know the problem.
Sian Leah Beilock, the president of Barnard College, explains that young people depend on social media, which makes them especially weak to social media’s harm. She also suggests that fewer close friends may explain some of the feelings of loneliness. She reports that in 1986 the average American had three close friends with whom they could share important things about their lives. In 2005, that number had dropped to just two friends. And in 2020, one in five millennials (千禧一代) had no friends at all.
These levels of loneliness are heartbreaking. MCC suggests, as a nation, we first should focus on teaching the young to make meaningful connections between people and support them.
【1】What does one year’s online learning and life in the bedrooms lead to?
A.Teenagers’ getting lonelier.
B.Teenagers’ getting busier.
C.Teenagers’ getting happier.
D.Teenagers’ getting healthier.
【2】What is the second paragraph mainly about?
A.Bad effects loneliness has on the young.
B.Bad habits young people often develop.
C.Benefits of the lockdown.
D.Causes of the lockdown.
【3】What does the underlined word “They” refer to in paragraph 3?
A.The young people.
B.The parents.
C.The friends.
D.The teachers.
【4】How should the young develop relationship with others?

27、The bad health effects of sleep loss during the week can’t be repaid by longer weekend sleep, according to a new study.
Researchers have long known that sleep deprivation (剥夺) can cause weight gain and increase other health risks. But for those who force themselves out of bed every weekday after too few hours of shut eye, they hope turning off the alarm on Saturday and Sunday will repay the weekly sleep debt and remove any ill effects.
The research, published in Current Biology, crushes those hopes. Despite complete freedom to sleep during a weekend recovery period, people in a sleep lab who were limited to five hours of sleep on weekdays gained nearly three pounds over two weeks and experienced disorders that would increase their risk for diabetes (糖尿病) over the long term. While weekend recovery sleep had some benefits after a single week of sleep loss, those gains were wiped out when people fell right back into their same sleep deprived schedule the next Monday.
“If there are benefits of catch-up sleep, they’re gone when you go back to your daily schedule. It’s very short lived”, said Kenneth Wright, director of the sleep and chronobiology lab at the University of Colorado at Boulder. “These health effects are long term. It’s kind of like smoking once was-people would smoke and wouldn’t see an immediate effect on their health, but people will say now that smoking is not a healthy lifestyle choice. I think that sleep is in the early stage of where smoking used to be.”
Wright said that the study suggests people should put sleep in the first place cutting out the “sleep stealers” such as watching television shows or spending time on their phones. Even when people don’t have a choice about losing sleep because of child-care responsibilities or job schedules, they should think about getting sleep in the same way they would get a healthy diet or exercise.
【1】What does the underlined word “crushes” mean?
A.Deepens.
B.Ensures.
C.Ruins.
D.Causes.
【2】What will Kenneth Wright agree with?
A.Smoking is more harmful than sleep loss.
B.Weekend recovery sleep has many benefits.
C.Smoking and sleep loss have the same bad effects.
D.It takes long for people to see the effects of sleep loss.
【3】What does Kenneth Wright advise people to do?
A.Take regular exercise every day.
B.Reduce the screen time before sleep.
C.Watch some TV shows before bedtime.
D.Sleep as long as possible during weekdays.
【4】What is the main purpose of this passage?
A.To introduce a new study.
B.To show some unknown facts.
C.To promote a healthy lifestyle.
D.To share some unhappy experiences.
28、 Grandma Moses is among the most famous twentieth-century painters of the United States, yet she did not start painting until she was in her late seventies. As she once said, " I would never sit back in a rocking chair, waiting for someone to help me."

Three of the pictures were shown in the Museum of Modern Art and in 1940 she had her first exhibition in New York.

29、Good health is the most valuable thing a person can have, but one cannot take good health for granted. It is important to remember that the body needs proper care in order to be healthy. There are three things that a person can do to help stay in good shape: eat right food ,get enough sleep, and exercise regularly.
Proper nutrition (营养) is important for good health. Your body cannot work well unless it receives the proper kind of “fuel”(燃料).Don't eat too much food with lots of sugar and fat. Eat plenty of foods high in protein (蛋白质) ,like meat, fish, eggs and nuts. Vegetables and fruits are very important because they provide necessary vitamins (维他命) and minerals. However, don't overeat. It is not helpful to be overweight.
Getting the proper amount of sleep is also important. If you don't get enough sleep, you feel tired and easily get angry. You have no energy. Over a long period of time a little a amount of sleep may even result in a change of personality (人的个性).Be sure to allow yourself from seven to nine hours of sleep each night. If you do, your body will feel strong and refreshed, and your mind will be sharp.
Finally, get plenty of exercise. Exercise firms the body, strengthens the muscles, and prevents you from gaining weight. It also improves your heart and lungs. If you follow a regular exercise program, you will probably increase your life-span (寿命).Any kind of exercise is good. Most sports are excellent for keeping the body in good shapes: basketball, swimming, bicycling, running and so on are good examples. Sports are not only good for your body, but they are enjoyable and interesting, too.
If everybody, were to eat the right foods, get plenty of sleep and exercise regularly, the world would be a happier and healthier place. We would all live to be much older and wiser.

31、根据文中上下文及所给的首字母,写出各单词的正确、完全形式。
Several years ago, when I was working in a school, a thin boy showed up in my office. It was David. His head teacher had referred him to me. “This boy has lost his family,“ he wrote. “He is very sad and r【1】 to talk to others, and I'm very w【2】 about him. Can you help?”
Sometimes the best thing one can do is to listen openly and patiently.
The first two times we met, David didn't say a word. He sat there, only looking up to look at the children's drawings on the wall behind me. I suggested we play a game of chess. He n【3】. After that, he played chess with me every Wednesday afternoon—in complete s【4】, without a word.
Usually, he arrived earlier than agreed, took the chess b【5】and pieces from the shelf and began setting them up before I even got a chance to sit down. It seemed as if he e【6】 my company. But why did he never look at me?
"Perhaps he simply needs someone to s【7】 his pain with, "I thought. Perhaps he sensed that I respect his suffering." Some months later, when we were playing chess, he looked up at me suddenly.
"It's your t【8】,” he said.
After that day, David started talking. He got friends in school and joined a bicycle club. Now he has really started to live his own life.
Maybe I gave David something. But I also learned that one, w【9】 any words, can reach out to another person. All it takes is a hug, a shoulder to cry on, a friendly touch, and an ear for the w【10】 heart.
