I was intrigued and wanted to experience these exciting things. I opened an online account; this was the beginning of my journey through the virtual world. As time went by, I became accustomed to checking social media more frequently. I buried myself in social media, chatting with friends and sharing my life with them. Social media was a source of happiness and more so, it brought a sense of satisfaction, pain, and frustration.My newfound interest started interfering (干扰) with my schoolwork. Instead of checking my school notes in time as usual, I checked social media more often to see what was happening with my friends’ lives. But I later discovered that by becoming more aware of other people’s lives, I became less in tune with myself. I was more focused on the illusions social media presented than the realities of my life. Thus, I started to sense depression, jealousy and hatred as a result of comparing my life with others. And I became much like what the people in the virtual world expected of me.Luckily, my phone went missing and my mother refused to get me a new one. I felt sad and lonely. However, her refusal led to something more meaningful to my life. Within a month, I became less concerned about other people’s lives and more concerned about my courses. And I had more time to study and sleep.Lack of social media also made me realize that social media had been interfering with my study habits and my private life. For example, I had no privacy. Anyone who had access to my social media profiles could easily find out where I lived. Moreover, I sometimes spent 15 hours browsing through social media without doing anything productive.After examining my use of social media, I decided not to entirely quit social media, but to change the way I use them. I unfollowed sites that didn’t contribute to positive or educative aspects of my life. I only use social media to spread positive messages and connect with others. Social media is not inherently bad, but it becomes terrible when we are addicted to it.32.

Drawbacks of social media outweigh benefits.CDo the endless stream of messages and the thought of replying to unopened texts give you anxiety? Can the group chat feel so overwhelming that you want to throw your phone out of the window? Texting anxiety is a real thing, and more common than you’d think.In the last 25 years, texting has changed the way we communicate greatly. And many would argue, not for the better. The average person in 2022 checks their phone 262 times a day, up from a daily average of 80 in 2016. Overwhelmed, many end up consciously or unconsciously opting out, stopping responding to loved ones and friends. Unfortunately, not everyone will be understanding.Leah Aguirre, a psychotherapist explains that text conversations are usually a source of anxiety as they come with a lot of uncertainty. “We can’t predict how someone will respond, if they will respond, or how quickly they will respond. We can’t control other people’s actions or behavior or how they think and interpret (解读) things, and for people that are already prone to anxiety this can be hard to cope with.”Aguirre says this is reflected in a physical reaction, tightness in the chest, tensions, or increased heart rate. You also may feel a little more on edge or short with others, compulsively check your phone or have obsessive and intrusive thoughts about the text conversation. Simply hearing a notification (通知), if our phone is out of reach, causes the brain chemicals associated with stress to spike.As well as the personal effects, text anxiety can put a strain on your relationships with friends and loved ones. A 2018 study found that romantic partnerships and friendships are far more successful when you and the other person have a similar texting style. If both parties are quick responders, the relationship is less likely to hit the rocks. Similarly, if all parties are happy to go hours, days, even weeks between responses, then everyone is happy.Establishing a texting schedule with people you interact with frequently is one way of reducing some of the stress if you have different texting styles. Aguirre suggests limiting the amount of time you are on your phone also helps with the anxiety. “By cancelling or reducing how much contact you have with the source of anxiety, you’ll feel some relief,” she says.“You can give yourself a pep talk, tell yourself that you are okay and that you have no control over another person’s response or behavior. Remind yourself that this is just a phone or a text message and that, big picture, you are okay and will be okay.”36. The purpose of Paragraph 2 is to .A. demonstrate the level of texting anxietyB. stress the importance of communicationC. analyze the cause of troubled relationshipsD. introduce the increasing use of cell phones37. What does the underlined phrase “on edge” in Paragraph 4 probably mean?A. Frightened. B. Interested. C. Excited. D. Nervous.38. What can we infer from the passage?A. Putting phones on “silence” mode increases anxiety.B. We should ask our partners to change their texting styles.C. Creating a texting plan with others helps reduce text anxiety.D. Texting anxiety is often caused by the time taken to answer the texts.39. What would be the best title for the passage?A. A texting schedule: The final way outB. Texting anxiety: Problems and solutionsC. Text conversations: Strengths and weaknessesD. A new perspective: How much texting is too much第四部分：书面表达(共两节，25分)第一节(共4小题;第60- -62小题每题2分，第63小题4分，共10分)阅读下面的短文，根据题目要求用英文回答问题。We all have our eye on the prize. That one big target that drives you to get up every day. For some, it’s a number, such as scores, pay rise or number of profits, etc. For others, it’s a qualitative goal like being happy and content every day. The thing about having the ultimate goal in mind is that you have to make stops along the way, whether you like it or not. And the smaller prize isn’t any less important than the ultimate prize because you have to pass it along the way.Celebrating the small victories gives you a sense of achievement. It can take years to get to the end goal and you have to set milestones for yourself, so you can both check your progress and celebrate that you are one step closer to your ultimate goal.The path to your success will shape who you are. How you deal with setbacks and leaps forward influences how you see yourself and how others see you. Also, once you are close to your ultimate goal, the path you took is your personal history. Better to mark it with a series of celebrations than a dull storyline.Breaking overall goals into smaller milestones makes the journey seem more manageable. If you task yourself with a marathon overnight, it seems like a lofty goal—plus, how do you get there? However, saying you want to start from 3km is a little more manageable and measurable. That way, if the first milestone isn’t met, then you can adjust your approach for the second quarter.So if it’s so important to celebrate the small victories, then how do you get there? You should start out with your overall ultimate goal in mind and work backwards to determine what milestones you want to hit and when. Here are a few things to keep in mind when setting your milestones. List them clearly. If your milestones are vague, how will you know when you have reached them? Set quantitative goals and stick to them. Quantitative is much easier to track than qualitative, which can be subjective. And remember to track your progress. If a milestone isn’t met, figure out why and adjust your approach.So what are you waiting for? It’s time to celebrate!40. Why is the smaller prize as important as the ultimate prize?_________________________________________________________41. What are the reasons for celebrating small victories?_________________________________________________________42. Please decide which part of the following statement is false, then underline it and explain why. ➢In order to achieve ultimate goals, we should set qualitative goals along the way when setting milestones._________________________________________________________43.
