Is there a link between scial media and depressin? D Facebk and Instagram have a negative impact n yur mental health? It’s cmplicated.
Smetimes, lking thrugh Instagram just makes yu feel bad. Yu try nt t envy yur friends, but they always seem t be traveling smewhere cl, eating smething fancy, r lking cute in perfect just-rlled-ut-f-bed hair. On the ther hand, there are times when yu laugh at funny memes (表情包), catch up with ld friends, and feel happy t belng t fun scial media cmmunities. Clearly, scial media isn’t all bad.
Peple are increasingly suspecting that there’re ptential prblems f scial media. Things like cyberbullying (网上欺凌) , screen addictin, and being expsed t endless filtered images (美颜) that make it impssible nt t make cmparisns between yurself and thers ften make the news. In July, a big study came ut in the jurnal JAMA titled “Assciatin f Screen Time and Depressin in Adlescence.” This big headline seems t cnfirm what a lt f peple have been saying — screen time is hrrible fr yung peple.

Accrding t a recent studya new genetically mdified(转基因的）rice can prevent infectins f HIV,the virus respnsible fr the disease AIDS.
The study reprts the newly-develped rice prduces prteins(蛋白质）that attach directly t the HIV virus. This prcess keeps the virus frm mixing with human cells. The scientists say it can remve the effect f the virus and blck its spreading.
The Jint United Natins Prgram n HIV/AIDS reprts that wrldwide, nearly 37 millin peple were living with HIV in 2017. The rganizatin says the largest number f thse are in ·develping cuntries. Nearly tw-thirds f HIV cases are in Africa. Nw there is n cure fr HIV/AIDS thugh there have been develpments in ral drug treatments t slw the prgressin f the disease.
The new study predicts the rice-based methd will lead t lng-term use f the anti-HIV treatment acrss the develping wrld. Researchers said the "grundbreaking" discvery is “realistically the nly way" that anti-HIV cmbinatin treatments can be prduced at a cst lw enugh fr the develping wrld.
They say the easiest and mst cst-effective way t use the rice will be t make it int a cream t be put n the skin. The HIV-fighting prteins can then enter the bdy thrugh the skin. Peple all ver the wrld culd grw the rice and make the cream themselves. This wuld prevent the cst and travel required fr many patients t receive treatments and medicine.
The prcess f changing the genetic structure f fd crps has been debated fr sme time. Critics f genetically engineered crps believe they can harm peple. The scientific team says further testing is needed t ensure that the genetic engineering prcess des nt prduce any additinal chemicals that culd be dangerus t peple.

A. By transfrming it int prteins.
B. By prcessing it int a cream.
C. By attaching it t the HIV virus.
D. By adding it t an ral drug.
14. What can we infer abut the genetic engineering prcess?

B. It has prduced dangerus chemicals.
C. It is intended fr the develped wrld.
D. It requires further testing t ensure the safety.

【分析】这是一篇夹叙夹议文。文章讲述作者引导孩子主动捐献玩具，并从玩耍简单玩具中获得快乐的做法。
【8题详解】
词义猜测题。根据文章第一段最后一句…I can help my wn kids learn earlier than I did hw t live mre with less可以推断出，人们通常认为越多越好。故选A。

【点睛】 高考中词义推断可以是一个单词的意义推断，也可以是一个短语或句子的意义推断，既可以是生词意义，也可以是熟词新意；还可以是对替代词所替代内容的判断。在阅读理解题中，所考查的词或短语的意义往往不停留在字面上，要根据短文提供的语境，通过阅读上下文，根据已知的信息或常识来推测尚不熟悉的词或词组的含义。词义猜测主要的解题策略有：语境猜词、语法猜词和常识猜词。
语境既上下文。由于上下文中的生词不是孤立存在的，其词义与句中其它词的词义或具体的语境有着密切的联系。因此在阅读过程中，许多生词的词义可以充分利用上下文中相关的词汇，短语并结合具体的语境来推测。此题中第一题为词义猜测题。根据文章第一段的第三句the gd news is that I can …可以推断出，前后语义相反，后句中是live mre with less，所以前句应该是“越多越好”的意思。

【详解】1.根据本段中“While there's n right r wrng way t design a library, the questins can be puzzling, especially t smene with hundreds r thusands f bks. Hw d I rganize?”虽然图书馆的设计没有对错之分，但设计图书馆的问题可能会让人迷惑不解，尤其是对拥有成百上千本书的人来说。我怎么设计呢？可知，此处谈论的是设计图书馆碰到的问题。选项A.Hw d I get everything t fit?我怎么才能让所有东西都匹配呢？也是一个问题，和文意一致。故选A。
2.结合本段首句“What rm shuld I use fr my hme library?”我的家庭图书馆应该用哪个房间？根据后文中“While reading in a rm with big windws and lts f light is refreshing, string bks in natural light is harmful t them. ”虽然在一个大窗户和光线充足的房间里阅读是一件令人耳目一新的事情，但在自然光线下存放书籍对他们是有害的。以及之后的“Basements...”地下室，可知，空白处是讲述具体设计时，不同房间的都是有自身的特点。选项F.“Almst any rm will d with a few exceptins.”几乎任何房间都可以，只有少数例外。和下文内容在逻辑上是一致的。故选F。
3.根据上文“Basements heavy with humidity（湿气）will cause mld (霉菌) and attract insects.”潮湿的地下室会发霉，吸引昆虫。讲述了 地下室的缺点，因此在接下来的描述中可以对此缺点进行补充说明。选项E.“In additin, basements are likely t be flded.”此外，地下室可能被水淹。符合语境。故选E。
4.根据上文“The Dewey Decimal Classificatin System has ten brad categries fr rganizing bks, including philsphy, religin and the arts.”杜威十进制图书分类法系统有10大类组织书籍，包括哲学、宗教和艺术。提到了对图书进行分类的方法。结合空白处后“Fr example, when yu want a bk n mdern art, yu head t the 700th blck.”例如，当你想要一本关于现代艺术的书，你就去第700街区。此处举例说明了通过编号可以对书进行分类后。所以空白处要讲述的是对书籍是可以进行编号分类。选项B.“Each categry is assigned a number.”每个类别都有一个编号。符合文意。故选B。
5.由下文中“Yur hme library may r may nt be as large as yur lcal public library, but a gd system f rganizatin will still help yu find the bk yu want quickly. ”你的家庭图书馆可能不像当地的公共图书馆那么大，但是一个好的组织系统仍然会帮助你快速找到你想要的书。说明了一个好的组织系统对选择图书的重要性。所以空白处应该讲述好的组织系统是重要的。选项D.“A gd system f rganizatin is the key.”一个好的组织系统是关键。和下文的意义一致，故选D。
