7、after walking home.BBecause she missed some important tests.CBecause her mother had ruined her future.DBecause her mother didnt pick her up home.D 考查细节理解。根据第一段的“After waiting at school for an hour，I walked the three miles home，and when I got to my house，I shut our front door with anger，stormed into
8、the kitchen and screamed in my moms face that shed forgotten me.”可知，作者在学校等了一个小时，后来自己走回了家，因此她对妈妈没有去学校接她非常生气。故选 D。2How does the author feel about her experience now?ADisappointed.BMerciful.CBeneficial.DEmbarrassed.C 考查细节理解。根据第三段中的“Now，as a mom myself，Ive realized that I want my kids to experience fail
9、ure because failure is how we grow，learn and think outside of ourselves.”说明作者现在认为她之前的经历对她是有益的(beneficial)。3What does the underlined phrase“held her ground” in Paragraph 2 mean?AStuck to her decision.BGave in to me.CSaid yes to me.DStayed in the place.A 考查词义猜测。根据第二段的“But she held her ground，and that

12、d the mental health of the countrys teenage girls has become worse.The survey， which included 30，000 14yearold students in 2005 and 2014，showed 37 percent of girls with psychological stress，up from 34 percent in 2005.British boys stress level was actually seen to fall over the same time period，from
13、17 percent to 15 percent.The reports authors pointed out the “advent of the social media age”could be a major contributing factor for increased stress among teenage British girls.“The adolescent years are a time of rapid physical，cognitive(认知的)and emotional development， ”Pam Ramsden，a lecturer in ps

18、itain suffered from psychological stress in 2005Cmore boys in Britain are suffering from mental pressure nowDmore British girls feel psychologically stressed than boys do nowD 考查推理判断。根据第二段的第一句可知，调查显示，2014 年 37%的英国少女有心理压力，而 2005 年只有 34%；根据第二段的第二句可知，同期调查显示，英国少年有心理压力的从 2005 年的 17%降到 2014 年的 15%。据此可以判断，
19、英国少女有心理压力的比少年多，故 D 项正确。6Contrary to traditional ways of interaction，social media Ahelps teenagers develop qualities like confidence and selfcontrolBhas many negative effects on girls characteristicdevelopmentCmakes teens aware of potential danger of the inappropriate contentDteaches girls to care ab
20、out their appearance to meet societal standardsB 考查细节理解。根据第五段的最后一句“Furthermore，this content can easily be spread far and wide with disastrous influences”和最后一段第一句的“Social media can also feed into girls insecurities about their appearance.”可知，由于青少年的思想还不成熟，自控能力有限，社交媒体对英国少女的心理健康和她们对外表美丑的判断产生了消极的影响。故 B 项
21、正确。7The underlined word “advent” in Paragraph 3 can be replaced by “ ”Aarrival BendCdisappearance DinventionA 考查词义猜测。结合该段内容和下文关于传统交流方式和社交媒体的比较可知，报告的作者指出， “社交媒体时代的到来”可能是造成英国少女心理压力增加的主要因素。据此可知，画线词意为“到来” ，故 A 项正确。.完形填空(2017 年湖北省七市(州)教科研协作体高三联合考试)I have written a poem called 5Flying Kites，in which a man
