As someone who researches generational differences, I find one of the most frequent questions I’m asked is “What generation am I in?”
If you were born before 1980, that’s a relatively easy question to answer: the Silent Generation______(91) born between 1925 and 1945; baby boomers were born between 1946 and 1964; Gen X followed (born between 1965 and 1979).
Next______(92) millennials, born after 1980. But where do millennials end, and when does the next generation begin? Until recently, I (and many others) thought the last millennial birth year would be 1999 today's 18-year-olds.
______(93), that changed a few years ago, when I started to______(94) big shifts in teens’ behavior and______(95) in the yearly surveys of 11 million young people that I analyze for my research. Around 2010, teens started to spend their time______(96) differently from the generations that______(97) them. Then, around 2012, sudden shifts in their psychological well-being began to appear. Together, these changes pointed to a generational cutoff around 1995,______(98) meant that the kids of this new, post-millennial generation were already in college.
These teens and young adults all have one thing in common: Their childhood or adolescence______(99) with the rise of the smartphone.
A 2015 survey found that two out of three U.S. teens owned an iPhone.______(100) this reason, I call them iGen, and as I explain in my new book “iGen: Why Today’s Super-Connected Kids are Growing up Less Rebellious, More Tolerant, Less Happy and Completely Unprepared for Adulthood”,they’re the first generation to spend their adolescence with a smartphone.
What makes iGen different? Growing up with a smartphone has______(101) nearly every aspect of their lives. They spend so much time______(102) the internet,texting friends and on social media in the large surveys I analyzed for the book, an average of about six hours per day that they have less leisure time for______(103) else.
That includes______(104) was once the favorite activity of most teens:______(105) with their friends. Whether ifs going to parties, shopping at the mall, watching movies or aimlessly______(106) around, iGen teens are participating in these social activities at a______(107) lower rate than their millennial predecessors.
iGen shows another pronounced break with millennials: Depression, anxiety, and loneliness have shot______(108) since 2012, with happiness declining.
The teen suicide rate increased______(109) more than 50 percent,______(110) did the number of teens with clinical-level depression.

A.that
B.what
C.it

单选题第16题106题应该填()。

单选题第20题110题应该填()。
A.which
B.like
C.so
D.As
参考答案:D
答案解析:这句话的意思是:确诊患抑郁症的青少年人数也以这种速度增长。as是连词,是引导方式状语从句的从属连词,意思是“像……一样、……也如此”。从as之前用逗号可以看出,前面是主句,as引导的句子是从句。as引导的部分用了倒装语序,把助动词did置于主语之前。正确答案为D。
