24、 government has discovered that the mental well-beings of the countrys teenage girls has worsened.The survey which included 30,000 14-year-old 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 fal
25、l over the same period from 17 percent to 15percent.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 and emotional development ,”Pam
26、 Ramsden, a lecturer in psychology at the University of Bradford in the United Kingdom, wrote in a blog post . “Teenagers interact with people in order to learn how to become competent adults. In the past they would associate with parents, teachers and other adults in their community as well as exte
27、nded family members and friends. Now we can also add social media to that list of social and emotional development .”Throughout adolescence, girls and boys develop characteristics like confidence and self-control. Since teenage brains have not completely developed, teens dont have the cognitive awar
28、eness and impulse control to keep from posting inappropriate content. Moreover, this content can easily be circulated far and wide implications.Social media can also feed into girls insecurities about their appearance, Ramsden said. These sites often filled with images of people with body types unsu

32、tical D. Concerned.DA person named Bernard Jackson today is a free man, but he has many bitter memories. He spent five years in prison after a jury (陪审团) wrongly convicted (判处有罪) him of raping two women. At Jacksons trial, although two witnesses testified that Jackson was with them in another locati
33、on at the time of the crime, he was convicted anyway. Why? The jury believed the testimony (证词) of the two victims, who positively identified Jackson as the man who had attacked them. The court eventually freed Jackson after the police found the real criminal.Many factors influence the accuracy of e
34、yewitness testimony. For instance, witnesses sometimes see photographs of several suspects before they try to identify the person they saw in a group of people. They can become confused by seeing many photographs of similar faces. The number of people in the group, and whether it is a person or a ph
35、otograph, may also affect a witnesss decision. People sometimes have difficulty identifying people of other races. The questions the police ask witnesses also have an effect on them.Many people believe that police officers are more reliable than ordinary people. Psychologists decided to test this id
36、ea, and they discovered that it is not true. Two psychologists showed a film of crimes to both police officers and civilians. The psychologists found no difference between the police and the civilians in correctly remembering the details of the crimes.Despite all the possibilities for inaccuracy, co
37、urts cannot omit eyewitness testimony from a trial. American courts depend almost completely on eyewitness testimony to resolve (决定) court cases. Sometimes it is the only evidence to a crime, such as rape. Furthermore, eyewitness testimony is often correct. Although people do sometimes make mistakes
38、, and convict innocent people, more importantly, eyewitness testimony has rightly convicted a larger number of guilty people.American courts depend on the ability of the twelve jurors, and not the judges, to determine the accuracy of the witnesss testimony. It is their responsibility to decide if a
39、certain witness could actually see, hear and remember what happened.32. Bernard Jackson was found guilty and sentenced 5 years prison because _A. the victims insisted that he was the attackerB. he admitted the crime of raping two womenC. the police discovered evidence leading to his guiltD. the eyew

An inaccurate eyewitness testimony may lead to _A. the misunderstanding of the case B. the disbelief in the courtC. the disrespect for the eyewitness D. the conviction of an innocent person34.

41、detect criminal in all casesB. it is sometimes the only way to resolve court casesC. it is sometimes the only clue for police investigationD. it is more reliable than physical evidence to a crime35. According to the text, we can infer that_A. eyewitness testimony is valuable, though sometimes incorr
42、ectB. police identification is more reliable than that of the ordinary peopleC. crime victims often fail to give positive identification of the suspectD. the jury relies on the judge than the eyewitness for a decision第二节（共 5 小题，每小题 2 分，满分 10 分）Easy Ways to Keep Your Brain SharpEveryone is forgetful,
