Question

【題目】

With schools closed and restrictions(限制）on public activities, it can be a difficult time for young people, who suddenly can't spend time with their friends and family in person.

However, the situation has already led to some creative ways of using technology to keep in touch with those people, from video calls and group chats （聊天）to online games. Experts say that young people might find the social restrictions on seeing their friends in real life stressful, which is why technology can be helpful.

"Keeping relationships is very important for health," says Dr Amanda Gummer, creator of Dr Gummer's Good Play Guide. She adds that this is more important the older you get. "Not maintaining these friendships can make it more difficult for you to get back into school when the time comes," she says. Chezy Kennedy, from a training program called Confident Kids, agrees. "Staying connected to those we care about is even more important now than ever before," she says. "We can suddenly feel quite lonely. "

Messaging apps and video calls are good for checking in with friends, or organizing group chats to keep in touch. "Video chats are a great way to keep connected with your wider friendship group," says Gummer.

Experts agree that there are plenty of ways to be creative with video chats besides talking to friends. Gummer suggests, “A virtual（虛擬的）film-and-pizza night can work well.”

Sharna Jackson, an expert on young people and technology, has lots of ideas too. She suggests taking turns to teach friends something you're really good at- such as painting and drawing, perhaps. She also thinks that online games, including Fortnite and Minecraft, can play a really good role.

"It's good to play together. It's social, there's problem-solving and turn-taking, and it helps you develop different skills," she says.

【解析】

本文介紹了由于學(xué)校的關(guān)閉和公共場(chǎng)所活動(dòng)的限制，年輕人經(jīng)歷了一些困難的時(shí)期。一些網(wǎng)絡(luò)技術(shù)能幫助年輕人保持聯(lián)系。

【1】

細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)“it can be a difficult time for young people, who suddenly can't spend time with their friends and family in person.” 可知，年輕人不能跟朋友待在一起時(shí)，他們會(huì)經(jīng)歷困難時(shí)期。故選C。

【2】

詞義猜測(cè)題。controlling控制，ending結(jié)束，checking檢查，keeping保持。根據(jù)前文的 “Keeping relationships is very important for health”可知，此處表示“不保持這些友誼會(huì)使得返回學(xué)校后變得困難”，maintain =keep“保持”，故選D。

【3】

推理判斷題。根據(jù)“Experts agree that there are plenty of ways to be creative with video chats besides talking to friends.”可知，為了保持聯(lián)系，可以和朋友在網(wǎng)上聊天，因此A項(xiàng)正確。根據(jù)“She also thinks that online games, including Fortnite and Minecraft, can play a really good role.”可知，為了保持聯(lián)系可以玩網(wǎng)上游戲，因此B項(xiàng)正確。根據(jù)“Messaging apps and video calls are good for checking in with friends, or organizing group chats to keep in touch.”可知，為了保持聯(lián)系，可以進(jìn)行視頻電話或者群聊。因此C項(xiàng)不正確。根據(jù)“She suggests taking turns to teach friends something you're really good at- such as painting and drawing, perhaps.”可知，為了保持聯(lián)系，可以在網(wǎng)上教朋友一些東西，因此D項(xiàng)正確。故選C。

【4】

標(biāo)題歸納題。根據(jù)“Experts say that young people might find the social restrictions on seeing their friends in real life stressful, which is why technology can be helpful.”和“Messaging apps and video calls are good for checking in with friends, or organizing group chats to keep in touch.”可知，本文是關(guān)于運(yùn)用網(wǎng)絡(luò)技術(shù)使年輕人保持聯(lián)系，故選B。
