19、 used a whiteboard to count every Snapchat, Instagram, text, call that appeared on their phones. Chavis is among a growing number of teachers, parents and health experts who believe that smartphones are now partly to blame for increasing the levels of student anxiety. “One girl, just during the one
20、hour, got close to 150 Snapchat notifications. 150!” she said. Jean Twenge, a psychology professor at San Diego State University in California, said it is not a coincidence that youth mental health issues have risen with the number of phones. “This use of phones has led to a loss of sleep and face-t

But nearly 60 percent of parents said they worry about the influence of social media on their childs physical and mental health. Both scho

26、ke Spiderman, Wonder Woman, or Batman. However, photographer Josh Rossi has used his camera to show the worlds real superheroes young children who are battling severe diseases and disabilities. The event leading to the creative project began in 2016, when Rossi fulfilled his then three-year-old daug
27、hters dream of becoming Wonder Woman. Thanks to the handmade costume and Rossis impressive Photoshop skills, the photoshoot instantly became a hit. Since it was Wonder Woman that brought about the idea, Rossi decided to focus on the superheroes that will appear alongside her in the upcoming movie, J
28、ustice League. To make the photoshoot more meaningful to the kids, he matched each child with a superhero with whom they had the most in common. The first member of the real-life “Justice League” was Kayden Kinckle. The five-year-old uses prosthetics(假肢) to walk because both his legs had to be cut o
29、ff due to a born disorder.

33、l Superheroes D I arrived in my Chinese classroom, ready to share my vast knowledge and experience with the 75 students who would be my English Literature class. Having taught in the USA for 17 years, I had no worry at all about my ability to plant in my students enthusiasm for the literature of my
34、mother tongue. I was really shocked when the monitor shouted “Stand up” and the entire class rose as I entered the room, and I was somewhat confused and anxious about how to get them to sit down again, but once that embarrassment was over, I quickly calmed down and launched into what I thought was a
35、 fact-packed lecture, sure to gain their respectperhaps even their admiration. I went back to my room radiating that rosy glow (光泽) that comes from a sense of significant accomplishment. My students kept journals, however, and as I read them, the rosy glow was gradually replaced by an overwhelming s
36、ense of frustration. The first journal said, “Our literature teacher didnt teach us anything today. Perhaps her next lecture will be better.” Heartbroken, I read journal after journal, each expressing a similar theme. “Didnt teach them anything? I sketched the entire philosophical framework of thoug
37、ht AND laid the historical background for all the works well study in class.” I complained, “How can they say I didnt teach them anything?” Determined to clear myself, I dug out all my reference books, adding background material to my next lecture, researching into the sociological setting and even
38、the psychological state of the author. After the second class, I eagerly opened the journals, expecting enthusiastic reviews at last. Again, I was crushed by their continuing comments that I was going too slowly without giving meaningful details. More determined than ever, I dived into sources of cr
39、iticism, deciding to devote more time to the texts by providing summaries of all the interpretations I could find of each work. This material would give my students ample information for drawing their own conclusions about the works meaning. “Our teacher seems confused about the real meaning of the
40、works,” the journals said. “One minute she gives one interpretation; the next minute she gives another. Then she asks for our opinions. Were the students. Shes the teacher. She should tell us what the works mean.” It was a long semester, and it gradually became clear to me that my ideas about educat
41、ion were purely Western, and that Chinese ideas differed significantly. I thought a teachers job was to raise interesting questions and provide enough background so t hat students could draw their own conclusions. My students thought a teachers job was to provide accurate information as directly and
42、 concisely (简洁地) as possible. Americans wanted to interpret and experience. The Chinese wanted to master and memorize. 32. How did the writer feel before he began his teaching in China? A. Confident. B. Worried. C. Disappointed. D. Confused. 33. What might be the reason why the writer was shocked by
43、 the shouting “Stand up”? A. The students intended to scare their new foreign teacher. B. The students refused to stand up before their new foreign teacher. C. The writer was a little shy and felt embarrassed when he entered the classroom. D. The writer knew little about the Chinese classroom and th
44、at was totally unexpected. 34. What does the writer mean by saying “determined to clear myself” in paragraph 4? A. He wanted to prove his ability in teaching the course. B. He wanted to better understand the students question. C. He was a little bit angry with the students. D. He was very disappoint
45、ed with himself. 35. Which of the following might the writer agree with? A. Chinese and Western ideas about education are slightly different. B. Teaching is to provide accurate information directly and clearly. C. A teachers job is to make students think and have their own opinions. D. Both American
46、s and the Chinese tend to draw conclusions by themselves. 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。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Stress occurs when you feel that demands placed on yousuch as work, school or relationshipsare beyond your ability. 36 However, untreated long-term stress can result in ser
47、ious health conditions including anxiety, insomnia, muscle pain, high blood pressure and a weakened immune system. 37 Everyone is different, and so are the ways they choose to manage their stress. Some people prefer pursuing hobbies such as gardening, playing music and creating art, while others fin
48、d relief in more solitary(独自的)activities: meditation, yoga and walking. 38 Do some exercise. The research keeps growingexercise benefits your mind just as well as your body. We keep hearing about the long-term benefits of a regular exercise routine. But even a 20-minute walk, run, swim or dance session in the midst of a stressful time can give an immediate effect that can last for several hours. 39 It may seem difficult to get away from a big work project, a crying baby or a g
