难度：中等
小编建议：
1、平衡心态。
考试对心态要求很高，既要紧张又不能过分紧张，既要自信又不能妄自菲薄。
2、做题方法。
这里只强调做题顺序。拿到一篇文章，我建议大家先把整个问题快速看一遍，然后带着问题在文章中找答案。
这个方法最大的特点就是节省时间，而且针对性很强，如果问题是事实性的和细节性的，那准确率也是比较高的。但它的缺点就是在解决具有推理判断或是综合性的问题时效果就不太明显了。遇到这种问题的时候就要先通读文章，整体理解文章内容之后，再解决问题。
真题模拟：
Interact use appears to cause a drop in psychological health, according to research at Carnegie Mellon University.
Even people who spent just a few hours a week on the Internet experienced more bad feelings and loneliness than those who was online less frequently, the two-year study showed. Researchers are puzzling over the results, which were completely contrary to their expectations. They expected that the Net would prove socially healthier than television, since the Net allows users to choose their information and to communicate with others.
The fact that Internet use reduces time available for family and friends may account for the drop in psychological health, researchers hypothesized (推测). Faceless, bodiless“virtual”(虚的) communication may be less psychologically satisfying than actual conversation, and the relationships formed through it may be shallower. Another possibility is that exposure to the wider world through the Net makes users less satisfied with their lives.
“But it\' s important to remember this is not about the technology, it\' s about how it is used,”says psychologist Christine Riley of Intel, one of the study\' s sponsors (发起人). "It really points to the need for considering social factors in terms of how you design applications and services for technology. "
