UNIT 1 TEENAGE LIFE
Ⅰ.阅读理解(每小题2.5分)
A(2024广东茂名二模)
Never letting my friends post pictures of me online,I didn’t have social media until 17.I had a smartphone from 11,and would text and call my friends a lot.The key difference was that I was a digital viewer,not a participant.When they asked why I didn’t have social media,my answer would change as the years passed.
Initially,not being on social media as a teen did,unsurprisingly,made me feel secluded.Conversations between my friends would not always take place on text,but via social media.New gossip would circulate in the evenings,but I would only find out the next morning,by which point it was old news.Plus,there were certain new trends I just didn’t understand.
At 14,I tried really hard to persuade my mum to let me be online.I told her it was more damaging to me not being on social media,but her response was that she could see things I couldn’t.I thought she was overstating and couldn’t completely understand what it was like to be a teen growing up in a digital generation.
People ask me if I ever secretly downloaded social media during my teen years,but I didn’t.The main thing that stopped me was that the conversation was always left open.My parents never shut me down when I asked for it:they would ask why I wanted it and then explain the positives and negatives of what it would be like to be online at the age I was.We had a strong relationship,built on trust.
I am so glad I entered social media as a fully formed person rather than being formed by it.I would not be the person I am today if I’d had social media during my adolescent years.

B(2024广东惠州一模)
A new trend has popped up in China with many young people abandoning brand (品牌) names to create makeshift handbags out of things like reusable grocery bags and other materials.One example is the Shenzhen bag,which includes canvas (帆布) bags,paper bags,milk tea packages that people carry around in Guangdong Province.
Makeshift handbags like the “Shenzhen bag” are also common among young people in big cities like Beijing,Shanghai,and Hangzhou.People find the bags practical,wearable and fashionable,and they can be carried on the shoulder or the back.This emerging trend reveals a new attitude to consumption as young people in China begin to pursue a simple and shared life,with consumers no longer blindly pursuing brand names as a status (身份) symbol,but advocating a simple and low-carbon lifestyle.In addition to the handbags,and regardless of their monthly incomes,many young people are living more casually,in line with a “good enough mentality”.Loose T-shirts,Crocs,and canvas bags are in basically standard mode.
“Consumers today are becoming more mature and rational.They are pursuing smarter consumption through careful consideration and calculation to find the cheapest,most practical,cost-effective way of shopping,” says Wang Ning,a sociology professor at Nanjing’s Southeast University.
Economists believe that China’s Generation Z no longer blindly pursues brands and luxury goods or buys things for the brand name and status.Instead,they pay more attention to their actual needs,quality,and experience of buying,and prefer sharing and second-hand purchases.They also advocate environmental protection and sustainable consumption.
Price-aware Chinese consumers have also begun to place a greater emphasis on their inner selves.Driven by rational consumption,many young people no longer save to buy a brand-name bag,but for self-improvement.
The new handbag trend has also created business opportunities.Reusing packaging used for food brands as handbags results in mobile advertising for the associated brands,and the phenomenon of the “Shenzhen bag” has also benefited paper bag companies.
5.What is the feature of the “Shenzhen bag”
A.A popular luxury brand of handbags.
B.A makeshift handbag symbolizing status.
C.A traditional handbag designed for specific people.
D.A temporary handbag that was once for another use.
6.Which is closest in meaning to the underlined word “rational” in paragraph 3
A.Conservative.
B.Reliable.
C.Sensible.
D.Considerate.
7.What contributes to the change in consumption habits among China’s Generation Z
A.A belief for a plain and green lifestyle.
B.Neglect of environmental protection.
C.Blind pursuit of brand names and luxury goods.
D.A focus on outer appearance rather than inner selves.
8.What is the text
A.A book review.
B.A news report.
C.A business plan.
D.A research article.

答案：
Ⅰ.【语篇解读】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了作者直到17岁才拥有社交媒体。作者的父母认为社交媒体会对作者产生负面影响,因此没有允许作者使用社交媒体。作者也很庆幸自己在成年后才进入社交媒体,因为社交媒体并没有塑造自己。
1.B 词句猜测题。根据文章第二段中“New gossip would circulate in the evenings,...there were certain new trends I just didn’t understand.”可知,作者因为没有社交媒体,所以无法参与晚上的聊天,只能在第二天早上才知道发生了什么,也无法理解一些新的趋势。由此可知,作者作为一个青少年,没有社交媒体让她感到被孤立了。故画线词的意思是“被孤立的”,与disconnected的意思最为接近。
2.D 推理判断题。根据文章第三段中“At 14,...but her response was that she could see things I couldn’t.”可知,作者的妈妈认为社交媒体会对作者产生负面影响,所以没有允许作者使用社交媒体。由此可知,作者的父母保护她免受社交媒体的负面影响。
3.D 细节理解题。根据文章第四段可知,作者在青少年时期没有偷偷下载社交媒体,是因为她和父母之间有很强的信任关系。
4.C 主旨大意题。根据文章最后一段可知,作者在成年后才进入社交媒体,并且认为这对她的成长和发展有很大的帮助。由此可知,C项最能概括文章主旨。

5.D 细节理解题。根据第一段中“A new trend has popped up in China with many young people abandoning brand names to create makeshift handbags out of things like reusable grocery bags and other materials.”可知“深圳包”是一个临时手提包,曾经有别的用途。
6.C 词句猜测题。根据第三段中“They are pursuing smarter consumption through careful consideration and calculation to find the cheapest,most practical,cost-effective way of shopping,”可知“rational”在此处指的是通过仔细考虑和计算来进行消费。conservative“保守的”;reliable“可靠的”;sensible“明智的”;considerate“体贴的”。可知C项符合此处语境。故选C项。
7.A 细节理解题。根据第二段中“This emerging trend reveals...but advocating a simple and low-carbon lifestyle.”以及第四段中“They also advocate environmental protection and sustainable consumption.”(他们还倡导环境保护和可持续消费。)可知,是简单而绿色的生活信念促进了中国Z世代消费习惯的改变。
8.B 文章体裁题。根据第一段中“A new trend has popped up in China with many young people abandoning brand names to create makeshift handbags out of things like reusable grocery bags and other materials.”并结合全文可知,文章描述了一种新兴的消费趋势,并引用了专家的观点,符合新闻报道的特点。
