(2020·海淀区一模)Is there a link between social media and depression? Do social media have a negative impact on your mental health? It's complicated.   

In a recent study，the investigators compared social media use and depression between teens.__6__Specifically，for every hour per day that one teen spent on social media more than her peers，she likely had a 0.64­point higher depression score.

A different study published in 2018 identified five distinct types of social media users.The finding was that “problematic social media use” was one of the main themes for people whose mental health was affected by social media.You can have alcohol in your life without it being a problem，or your alcohol use may become problematic.__7__

There's one important thing to remember about survey research—just because two things happen together，it's not necessarily true that one causes the other.__8__For all we know，it could be that people who are already more depressed choose to spend more time on social media.

__9__If you think that we shouldn't paint social media with one broad brush，yon're on the right track.On the one hand，participants often described social media as a valuable way to cope with stress.On the other hand，cyberbullying via social media was also a common experience for participants.Some also said that constantly checking their own social media profile was stressful.    

It's certainly possible that experiences like cyberbullying，comparing yourself to idealized images，and constantly monitoring your profile，are bad for your mood.It's also true for many that social media offer community support and positive messages. Given the inconclusive research，it's safe to say that at least we shouldn't write off social media altogether.__10__Anyway，you cannot use it as a crutch for coping with other stressors and mental health problems.

A．It's the same with social media.

B．Social media can be a double­edged sword.

C．People get more opinionated about the potential problems of social media.

D．They found that those who used social media more had higher depression scores.

E．They reviewed all existing research and found that there were both benefits and drawbacks.

F．The key to benefiting from social media may lie in using it in moderation and staying socially connected.

G．For example，just because higher social media use co­occurs with higher levels of depression doesn't mean social media use causes depression.

【语篇解读】　社交媒体是一把双刃剑，它对使用者的心理健康有一定影响。使用社交媒体是一种缓解压力的方式，但过度使用社交媒体的人患抑郁症的可能性更大。所以人们应该适度使用社交媒体并保持社交联系。

6．解析：根据空前的“In a recent study，the investigators compared social media use and depression between teens.”可知，空处应是研究结果，且空后是一个社交媒体的使用与抑郁评分关联的案例。故D项“They found that those who used social media more had higher depression scores.”符合该处语境。

答案：D

7．解析：根据空前的“You can have alcohol in your life without it being a problem，or your alcohol use may become problematic.”可知，空处应是用社交媒体和酒精做比较，故A项“It's the same with social media.”符合该处语境。

答案：A

8．解析：根据空前的“There's one important thing to remember about survey research—just because two things happen together，it's not necessarily true that one causes the other.”可知，空处应是举例说明这个观点，故G项“For example，just because higher social media use co­occurs with higher levels of depression doesn't mean social media use causes depression.”符合该处语境。

答案：G

9．解析：根据本段主要内容可知，浏览社交媒体是一个减压的办法，但一直使用社交媒体的时候也会感到很有压力，B项“Social media can be a double­edged sword.”符合该处语境。B项中的a double­edged sword对应空后所提及的社交媒体的利弊。

答案：B

10．解析：根据本段内容可知，社交媒体对于生活也有有益的一面，根据空后的“Anyway，you cannot use it as a crutch for coping with other stressors and mental health problems.”可知，空处应是说如何从社交媒体中受益，故F项“The key to benefiting from social media may lie in using it in moderation and staying socially connected.”符合该处语境。

【语篇解读】　文章主要介绍了四种方法来帮助我们解决在夜里重新入睡的问题。

12．解析：根据空前的“Do not drink and fill your bladder before bed.”可知，空处所填应该是与喝水相关，空后又说“它可能会让你更快入睡，但也可能扰乱你的睡眠”，故“最重要的是，晚上不要喝酒。”起承上启下的作用，且符合语境。

答案：D

13．解析：空前提到窗帘中透出的光也是令人难以入睡的原因之一，空后说到要遮挡光线。故C项“它们会让你保持清醒。”符合该处语境。C项中的They就是指前文中各种影响人们睡眠的光线。

(2020·北京高考适应性测试)An interview is a discussion with someone in which you try to get information from them.__16__There are three basic sub­types of interview：structured interviews，unstructured interviews and semi­structured  interviews.__17__ Incidentally，“respondent” and “informant” are words that are sometimes used instead of “interviewee”.    

A great deal is provided by this personal contact：you are another human being，and interviewees will respond to you，in bodily presence，in an entirely different way from the way that they would have reacted to questionnaires that came through their letterboxes or to emails.__18__Most people want to help and give their opinions，and they will usually be energized to help by your physical presence.

If you take the trouble to schedule a visit，you can be more or less guaranteed of a response.Most importantly，though，you will be able to relate to interviewees while you are talking to them. __19__You will be able to watch their behaviour which will give you important clues about  how they feel about a topic.Because of the primacy of the personal contact，your appearance and tone are important—how do you want to be seen？As “one of us”？As a person in authority? As an observer？...Or what？__20__However you decide to present yourself，it is good practice of course to try to put the interviewee at ease before the interview begins—to talk about the weather，about your journey，about anything that will break the ice.

A．This is a ready­made support for you.

B．Its nature varies with the nature of the interviews.

C．You will be able to hear and understand what they are saying.

D．Your decision should influence the way that you look，sound and behave.

E．The information may be facts or opinions or attitudes or any combination of these.

F．Each involves the interviewer in face­to­face contact or telephone contact with another person.

G．You will be using these clues to make informed guesses about what the interviewees might really mean.

【语篇解读】　本文主要介绍了现场访谈的优点。

16．解析：空前一句说，“访谈是一场以获取信息为目的的讨论”，E选项中的information是上文的原词复现，且该选项是说“这些信息可以是事实、观点或态度，也可以是上述三点的结合”，是上文内容的进一步延伸，故其为正确答案。

17．解析：空前一句介绍了三种不同类型的访谈。F选项中的“Each”对应空前一句的“three basic sub­types”，且该选项的意思是“每种(形式)都需要提问者以面对面或电话的方式与访谈对象沟通”，符合该处语境，故F为正确答案。

答案：F

18．解析：由空前内容可知，现场访谈可以带来诸多便利：作为提问者，你的提问会得到极好的回应，因为访谈对象此时的回应和他们对问卷表或电子邮件的回应是截然不同的。A选项中的“This”指代上文提到的现场访谈的好处且符合该处语境，故A为正确答案。

答案：A

19．解析：分析空处的上下文可知，该段主要讲的是现场访谈可以让你在沟通的过程中更好地了解提问者的想法，并且让你能够更好地展示自己。C选项符合该段主题，且符合上下文的逻辑。

答案：C

20．解析：空前一句表示“你想要以何种姿态出现在访谈对象面前？平易近人一些？还是有权威风范？或是一个观察者？”，且根据空处下文的However可知，空处所填句应起承上启下的作用。分析各选项可知，D选项承接上文，表明不同的姿态会带来不同的结果，符合该处语境，故D项为正确答案。

答案：D
