***阅读理解。

When we do the same movements with our bodies over and over again，we overuse some muscles.And the overuse can lead to strain(压力)and injury.Sometimes those problems can come from doing sports.But there is another cause of muscle problems：hand-held technology devices.

Staring down at your phone or tablet for long periods of time puts great tension on your neck.Experts say this posture puts strain on the entire upper body.Muscle strain linked to hand-held technology has become such a common condition that it now has a name：tech_neck.

Common symptoms of tech neck are neck pain，loss of feelings in your hands and fingers，headaches—both mild and severe—and poor posture.In the worst cases of tech neck，you can lose the strength of your hands and fingers.

You can take simple steps to improve tech neck.Take breaks from using your technology.Stand up and stretch your legs often.Also，give your eyes a break by closing them now and then throughout the day.Do neck exercises.Experts at the website Spine Universe recommend these three neck stretches.

1．Chin(下巴)Stretch

Move your chin towards your chest.Hold for 5 seconds.The stretch should be comfortable from your neck to the base of your skull.Repeat 10 times.

2．Side Lean

Lean your head to the right.Bring your ear close to the shoulder.Hold for 20 seconds.Bring your head back to the center，and then lean it to the left，again holding for 20 seconds.Repeat 3－5 times on each side.

3．Side-to-Side Head Turning

Turn your chin towards your right shoulder.Hold for 20 seconds.Bring your head back to the center，and then turn it to the left，again holding for 20 seconds.Repeat 3－5 times on each side.

【解题导语】本文是一篇说明文，介绍了“科技颈”及其症状和危害，并给出了应对建议。

【段意梳理】 第一至二段：总述便携式科技设备会造成肌肉问题，即“科技颈”。 第三段：概述“科技颈”的常见症状和对身体造成的危害。 第四至八段：应对建议。

1．D 考查词义猜测。根据第二段中的“Muscle strain linked to hand-held technology has become such a common condition that it now has a name”可知，“tech neck”指的是与便携式科技设备有关的肌肉紧张，并且已经成为一种常见的疾病，同时结合该段首句中的“great tension on your neck”可知，选项D“科技设备造成的颈部问题”意思与之相近。所以选D。本题易误选A项。根据首段最后两句“Sometimes those problems can come from doing sports.But there is another cause of muscle problems：hand-held technology devices”可知，有时做运动会导致这些问题，但本文主要讲述的是便携式科技设备也是导致肌肉问题的原因，故排除A项。

2．A 考查段落大意。根据第三段的内容，尤其是首句中的“Common symptoms of tech neck”和第二句中的“worst”以及“you can lose”可知，本段主要讲述的是“tech

2

neck”的常见症状和危害，所以选A。

3．B 考查细节理解。根据2.Side Lean部分的内容“Lean your head to the right...Bring your head back to the center，and then lean it to the left，again holding for 20 seconds.Repeat 3－5 times on each side”可知，该部分叙述的动作是把头靠向肩膀，让耳朵贴近肩膀，故选项B所示的姿势正确。所以选B。

4．C 考查推理判断。根据第一个练习中的“Move your chin towards your chest”和第三个练习中的“Turn your chin towards your right shoulder”可知，这两套动作都涉及下巴的移动，所以选C。

***.语法填空。

(2017·全国卷Ⅲ)She looks like any other schoolgirl, fresh-faced and full of life.Sarah Thomas is looking forward to the challenge of her new A-level course. But unlike her school friends, 16-year-old Sarah is not spending half-term __1__ (rest). Instead, she is earning ￡6,500 a day as __2__ model in New York.

篇章导读：本文是一篇记叙文。16岁的萨拉作为一名模特儿表现出色，她父亲想让她放弃学业专心从事模特儿行业，但萨拉认为学业优先，应努力成为一个既有美貌又有智慧的女性。

1．resting 考查非谓语动词。spend time (in) doing sth.为固定搭配，此处表示萨

3

拉没有花半学期的时间来休息。

2．a 考查冠词。句意：相反，她在纽约作为一名模特儿每天收入6,500英镑。用不定冠词a表泛指。

3．was told 考查动词的时态和语态。根据语境可知，萨拉应该是“被告知”她能成为英国新的超模儿，故用一般过去时的被动语态。

4．who 考查定语从句的引导词。引导词代替先行词Sarah在从句中作主语，且指人，故用who。

5．to prove 考查非谓语动词。want to do sth. “想要做某事”，为固定搭配。 6．education 考查词性转换。形容词性物主代词her应该用来修饰名词，educate的名词形式是education。

7．invitations 考查名词的复数。several “几个”，其后的可数名词要用复数形式。 8．in 考查介词。关于某个专业的学位要用介词in。a degree in engineering or architecture “工程学或建筑学学位”。

9．comes 考查动词的时态。此处为陈述客观事实，故用一般现在时。

10．certainly 考查词性转换。此处应该用副词来修饰形容词fun, certain的副词形式为certainly。
