16．（10分）Social media is one of the fastest﹣growing industries in the world today.A study carried out by the PewResearch Center showed that 92 percent of teenagers go online daily.The wide use of social media has changed nearly all parts of teenagers lives.
Changing relationships：
High school student Elly Cooper from Illinois said social media often reduces face﹣to﹣face communication."It makes in ﹣person relationships harder because people give attention to their phones instead of their boyfriends or girlfriends，"Cooper said.Yet，some people believe social media has made it easier to start relationships with anyone from anywhere.Beth Kaplan from Illinois met her long﹣distance friend through social media.Now he lives in Scotland，but they're still often able to communicate with each other."I can feel close to someone that I'm talking to by Face Time，"Kaplan said.
Wanting to be"liked"：
The rise of social media has changed the way teenagers see themselves.The 19﹣year﹣old Essena O'Neill announced on the social networking service Instagram that she had stopped using social media.She thought she had gotten lost in appearing perfect online.Negative comments can also do damage to a teenager self﹣esteem（自尊）.Teenagers who get negative comments can't help but feel hurt.In particular，some social media apps such as Yik Yak may provide opportunities for cyber bullying （网络欺凌）.
Opening new doors：
However，Armin Korsos，a student from Illinois，takes advantage of the comments he receives over social media to improve his videos on the social networking site YouTube."Social media can help people show themselves and their talents to the world in a way that was never possible before，"Korsos said.
But Korsos realizes that social media has become a distraction（让人分心的事）."Social media is not all necessary，though it helps people connect with their friends and know each other well anytime."

（2）词义猜测题。根据第五段Negative comments can also do damage to a teenager self﹣esteem.Teenagers who get negative comments can't help but feel hurt.In particular，some social media apps such as Yik Yak may provide opportunities for cyber bullying.（负面﹣﹣﹣也会伤害青少年的自尊。得到负面评价的青少年，会不由自主地觉得受到了伤害。特别是一些社交媒体应用程序，如Yik Yak，可能会为网络欺凌提供机会。）联系后句可知负面的评价会影响青少年。所以下划线单词 comments 应为评价。故选A。
（3）细节理解题。根据第五段The 19﹣year﹣old Essena O'Neill announced on the social networking service Instagram that she had stopped using social media.She thought she had gotten lost in appearing perfect online.（19岁的Essena O'Neill在社交网络服务Instagram上宣布，她已经停止使用社交媒体。她认为自己迷失在网上表现完美的过程中。）可知她发现自己过度沉迷于网络。故选C。
（4）细节理解题。根据第五段"Social media can help people show themselves and their talents to the world in a way that was never possible before，"Korsos said.（Korsos说："社交媒体可以帮助人们以一种前所未有的方式向世界展示自己和自己的才能。"）可知Korsos 认为，合理正确的使用了社交媒介能够对青少年有很大的好处，可以向他人展示才华。故选D。
（5）主旨大意题。根据第一段Social media is one of the fastest﹣growing industries in the world today.A study carried out by the PewResearch Center showed that 92 percent of teenagers go online daily.The wide use of social media has changed nearly all parts of teenagers lives.（社交媒体是当今世界发展最快的行业之一。皮尤研究中心进行的一项研究表明，92%的青少年每天都上网。社交媒体的广泛使用几乎改变了青少年生活的所有方面。）可知，社交媒体是当今世界上发展最快的行业之一，美国的一家研究中心进行的一项研究表明，百分之九十二的青少年每天上网．社交媒体的广泛传播改变了青少年生活的几乎所有部分，然后主要从三个方面的改变进行说明．可知本文的主题是社交媒体对青少年的影响。故选B。

Changing relationships：
High school student Elly Cooper from Illinois said social media often reduces face﹣to﹣face communication."It makes in ﹣person relationships harder because people give attention to their phones instead of their boyfriends or girlfriends，"Cooper said.Yet，some people believe social media has made it easier to start relationships with anyone from anywhere.Beth Kaplan from Illinois met her long﹣distance friend through social media.Now he lives in Scotland，but they're still often able to communicate with each other."I can feel close to someone that I'm talking to by Face Time，"Kaplan said.
