1、上海实验高中2021-2022学年高三下英语三月考语法填空Recent literature has put the spotlight on how technology and social media are shaping the next generation, and the consensus(共识)seems to be that its a sharp double-edged sword. New research published in Computers in Human Behavior is no exception.The study,led by facult

3、the Northeast United States, and found that those who joined these platforms at or below age 10 had more internet buddies that parents would disapprove of, and visited more social websites that _3_ (frown) upon.They also showed more “unsympathetic online behaviors” and were more likely to become vic
4、tims of online bullying or harassment. Altogether, it was a jumble of (一堆)problematic digital moods. Of course,that might not be news to social media giant Facebook. Some recent leaks in the Wall Street Journal revealed how the platform was aware for some time _4_ it was “toxic” for teen girls, and
5、also detailed its ambitions to lure teens and pre-teens with targeted kid-specific products. _5_ almost all social media, including Twitter and TikTok, Facebooks rules require users to be at least 13 years old to join. However, people _6_ sign up self-report their own dates of birth, so its hardly a
6、n effective firewall, and by commonsense, its nearly a given that packs of children are roaming(漫游)the social media universe. In fact, “one-third of our sample had already started using social media at age 11 or 12 and another one-third had begun at age 10 or younger,” study author Linda Charmaraman
7、 said in a statement. _7_ that doesnt mean its a lost cause. The studys findings also suggest parents can combat the harmful impacts by limiting how often their kids check social media, or restricting phone usage. Participants who reported such parental controls showed _8_ (lessen) negative effects.
8、And its not all bad: According to the research, those who joined social media before age 11also showed _9_ (great) civic engagement within the online community-such as posting supportive content or fostering events and activism for social issues. Also,regardless of when they joined social media, ear

67、, but I knew exactly what they were doing: cracking their knuckles(指关节). Its such a distinctive sound, but whats really surprising is that its so loud. The sound generated is noticeably different from that of creaking hips or knees-its specific to fingers. Whats going on? Joint cracking is the sort

I have occasionally made the mistake of mentioning this during talks to school kids. _47_The usual suspect in the infraction is the joint at the base of each finger. People pull their finger away from the rest
69、 of their hand until theres a deep, muffled click. When medical imaging finally improved to the point where it could spy on the inside of a finger during the process, the true culprit was revealed: a bubble.At the joint, one bone has a curved bulge(凸起)which sits snugly in a shallow cup forming the b
70、ase of the next bone up. _48_ Its viscous and sticky, and it keeps the joint running smoothly. If you pull on a finger this gap gets gradually wider so that the fluid is now in tension because its pulled in both directions.For those with the right sort of joint to make the cracking sound, the drama
71、is sudden. X-rays and MRI scans show that at the moment of cracking, a gas-filled cavity pops into existence in the synovial fluid(滑液)，relieving the tension in the liquid. Gas which had been dissolved in the liquid comes rushing in to fill this new gap. Once the bubble exists, it just sits there unt

Unger. For his lifelong effort on the subject, Dr
