9、king through your WeChat moments or your Weibo feed,and you come across a post saying something like this:“I just got accepted to Harvard and Oxford!Are they sure they didnt mix my application up with somebody elses?”This person is clearly humblebragging.The term “humblebrag” was first coined back i

10、n 2010 by the late US comedian Harris Wittels,and it describes when someone makes a seemingly modest statement,but the actual purpose is to bring attention to something they are proud of.The example above is a modesty-based humblebrag.The person wants to tell others:“I got accepted to Harvard and Ox

11、ford!” However,they dont want to seem too proud of their accomplishments.So,instead,they word it in a way to be more modest and bring down the importance of their achievements.Although people who humblebrag think it will make them more likeable because they arent talking proudly about their victorie

12、s,a study published in the Journal of Personality and Social Psychology showed that humblebragging actually has the opposite effect.“Humblebragging doesnt have the intended result because it seems insincere.That poor me attitude combined with self-promotion does not lead to a favorable impression,”

13、said Ovul Sezer,the lead author of the study and an assistant professor of organizational behavior at the University of North Carolina,US.“Even simply bragging or complaining (抱怨) is better,because at least people expressing those messages are seen as the sincere ones.”Sezers study also found that n

14、early 60% of humblebrags were complaint-based humblebragging,with most people humblebragging about their looks,followed by their money or wealth,and finally about their performance at work.“Its such a common phenomenon.All of us know some people in our lives,whether in the social media or in the wor

15、kplace,who do this annoying thing,” commented Sezer,adding that we all do it to some extent.So,if you want to share your achievements with others,whats the best way to do it then?Sezer suggests that people admit their self-promotion and harvest the rewards of being sincere.She also suggests finding

16、a go-between,adding,“If someone brags for you,thats the best thing that can happen to you,because then you dont seem like youre bragging.”4.The underlined word “coined” in Paragraph 2 probably means “”.A.recognizedB.inventedC.boughtD.copied5.Which of the following can be considered as humblebragging

19、does.CIn the past five years,about 2.8 billion of school textbooks were sold per year,with total spending of 20 billion yuan,a news magazine reported,citing data released recently by the National Press and Publication Administration.If these textbooks are reused for one year,the costs saved can be u

20、sed to help build around 40,000 Hope Schools in impoverished regions.The figures show that in 2018,the number of retailed textbooks for primary and secondary schools was 2.93 billion copies,totaling 25.99 billion yuan.If all of them are reused,a total of over 20 billion yuan will be saved per year.Z

21、hao Dehua,in charge of a company recycling resources,said many college graduates sell the textbooks they have accumulated over the years at an average price of 1 yuan per kilogram.As these textbooks are mostly used to produce recycled paper,the cost is even higher than that of producing raw paper as

22、 the processing procedure of recycled paper is complicated.At present,free textbooks related to music,art and PE for the nine-year compulsory education have been reused,but account for less than a fraction of the total number of textbooks.Because of the supply chain obstruction,which increases the c

23、osts of matching supply with demand,the lack of sound platforms and service supporting systems for the second-hand textbook trade,most of the textbooks used for compulsory education and higher education end up as waste.“Every year,second-hand booksellers collect textbooks at a price of about 4,000 y

24、uan a ton,which is more than twice the price of ordinary waste paper,but there are few people who come to collect second-hand books,” Zhao Dehua said.Besides,the incomplete policies and regulations might bring second-hand book sales platforms and sellers to legal risks.“Establishing the system of te

25、xtbook recycling can not only save resources,but also help to cultivate students consciousness and sense of responsibility,” said Zhu Pin,deputy head of a school of nine-year compulsory education in Jiangxi Province.The school has set up a system for reusing the textbooks and the books are disinfect

30、 past,leaving younger,less biodiverse forests that store less carbon worldwide.They give us paper and fuel,as well as vital ecological serviceslike cleaning the air,storing carbon and providing habitat.Were talking about trees,of course.But human changes to the environment appear to be causing profo

31、und changes to trees around the world.In a new study,scientists reviewed global research on trends in tree seedlings,growth and death.They combined those data with an analysis of deforestation.And they found that worldwide,older trees are dying at a higher rate than in the past due to factors like r

32、ising air temperature,wildfire,drought and pathogens (病原体).“And most of the drivers of that decrease in large,old trees are increasing themselves.For example the temperature is going up,droughts are more severe,and wildfire,windstorms and deforestation are all on the increasealthough variable across

33、 the globe.The loss has already occurred,but we expect more continued loss of big,old trees,”said Nate McDowell,an earth scientist at Pacific Northwest National Laboratory,who was one of the studys authors.“So if we have an increasing rate of death,particularly of the larger,older trees,whats left a

34、re the younger trees.So thats why,on average,through the loss of bigger,older trees,our forests are becoming inherently (内在地) younger and shorter.”This trend is a problem,because old trees are vitally important.“For sure,the increase in death does limit the carbon storage of an ecosystem and can for

35、ce the system to become a carbon source to the atmosphere.The second reason we care is from a biodiversity perspective:old trees tend to house higher biodiversity than young forests do.And the third reason is aesthetic:as a society,we care about these trees.We have national parks named after these b

36、ig trees.So theres a personal reason for people to care about this as well.”12.What has the new study found?A.Forests are getting younger and shorter.B.Many factors cause the death of young trees.C.Young trees are beneficial to humans in many ways.D.The death of big old trees doesnt influence biodiv

39、ees are dying faster.七选五Dont brag (自夸),but be proud of what youve done.These two pieces of advice were tough to balance before the social media existed.1 We are unable to draw a line between the humble bragging and the straight-up bragging.But we certainly know that oversharing doesnt do your friend

40、ship any favors.Social media bring us convenience.2 Once upon a time,only your family and close friends would be there to see you eagerly open presents on your birthday party.Now the photos you take on your mobile phone will likely appear on your social media in a second.Maybe you just post it subco

41、nsciously.But your sharing behavior could easily be considered annoying or even narcissistic(自恋的).3 Maybe we should all ask ourselves the question before hitting the share button.Our personal fame grows alongside our social media presence,so does the number of people we could potentially impress or

42、bother.According to therapist Jessica Michaels,providing “emotional context” may help prevent what might be seen as the bragging.Think about how you say something,not just what you say.Frame it in a way that makes it more of a sharing idea.For example,if you plan a party for your birthday,you could

43、post “Hey,friends of mine!Lets plan this together.Maybe we could all go” instead of saying “Oh I cant wait to enjoy my party”.4Remember,the original intention behind social media is a connector,and your true best friends definitely do want to know when things are becoming good for you.Next time when

44、 you post a photo of your fantastic winter vacation,for example,make sure to tag your friends.5A little bit of social media love goes a long way!A.To post or not to post?B.Will it make me a celebrity?C.Tell them you wish they were by your side.D.They are the most important friends in our life.E.Mean

45、while,they can put us in danger of oversharing.F.It makes a big difference how you express your ideas.G.Even todays share-it social media havent made it any easier.答案：.【语篇导读】这是一篇应用文。文章主要介绍了在纽约市举办的各项美食活动。1.B解析 细节理解题。根据文章第四个小标题“Italian Restaurant WeekJune 26-July 6”可知,餐厅周从6月26日开始到7月6日结束,所以如果一个人打算6月30度

48、知,此处表示“humblebrag”一词最早是由已故的美国喜剧演员Harris Wittels创造的,描述了当一个人做了一个看似谦虚的陈述,但实际的目的是引起人们对他自豪的事情的关注,故B项与画线词的意义最为接近。5.D解析 推理判断题。根据文章对humblebrag的定义可知,humblebrag指的是人们故作谦虚地去吹嘘自己的成就,表面在刻意低调,实则在高调炫耀。6.D解析 推理判断题。根据第五段中的“Humblebragging doesnt have.lead to a favorable impression”可知,Ovul Sezer对于humblebragging的态度是反对的,

49、故D项正确。cautious“谨慎的,小心的”;ambiguous“含混不清的,模棱两可的”。7.C解析 推理判断题。根据最后一段可知,Sezer认为如果有人愿意替你吹嘘,那么这对你来说是最好的事情了,因为这样的话,你看起来没有在吹嘘。【破解长难句】Although people who humblebrag think it will make them more likeable because they arent talking proudly about their victories,a study published in the Journal of Personality a

55、主语从句。【译文】 因此,如果死亡率上升,特别是那些更大、更老的树,那么剩下的就是年轻的树。.【语篇导读】本文是一篇说明文。我们不应该自夸,但是当自己取得了成绩时也应该引以为豪。在社交媒体出现以前,这两者的关系就很难平衡。在社交媒体普及的今天,这一问题也依旧很难解决。但是有一点是明确的:过度分享有时会影响我们的友谊。那么我们究竟应该怎么做呢?本文给出了一些实用的建议。1.G解析 空前一句提及在社交媒体出现以前,自夸与自豪之间就很难达到平衡。因此空处与之相呼应,指出在社交媒体普及的今天,这个问题也难以被解决。2.E解析 空前一句提及“社交媒体给我们带来便利”,而本段中所给出的事例是为了说明在社交

56、媒体普及的今天,有时你的分享会产生负面效应。因此判断空处的含义应该是同时在社交媒体上过度分享会造成负面影响。3.A解析 根据空处所在的位置可推知本句是中心句,由空后的“the question”可知选A或B项;空后一句中的“hitting the share button”与A选项中的post含义相呼应。4.F解析 根据段首句可知,本段主要叙述在社交媒体上分享信息时避免造成炫耀之感的做法。空前一句中的事例提及你可以这样分享信息“嘿,朋友们,我们一起来计划一下吧!大家都参加吧”,而不是“我已经迫不及待地去参加派对了”。这两种方式自然会产生不同的效果,与F选项中的“makes a big difference”相呼应。5.C解析 此空为段尾句,是对上文内容的补充和阐述。本段主要叙述社交媒体上分享信息的主要目的是与朋友保持联系。空前一句提及“下一次,比如当你想要分享你美好的寒假照片时,一定要记得标记上你的朋友”,此处应接着说其他的做法,且C选项中的“them”指空前的“your friends”。10
