It used to be simple: if you were stuck on homework, you went to a tutor or looked through a textbook. Today, many students admit their first instinct (本能) is to open short-video apps. ____36____ And here’s the catch: while short-form video makes information accessible, are students actually learning or just scrolling (滚屏)?

Students aren’t choosing short videos to study by accident; it fits the way their brains are wired in today’s world. Studies suggest the average attention span has dropped to around 8-12 seconds. Quick videos match that rhythm. Instead of sitting through a 45-minute lecture, students can learn one concept or definition in a minute. Short videos also turn idle time, like waiting for the bus, into learning opportunities. ____37____

However, for every upside, there’s a hidden drawback that students often feel but don’t always recognize. Short videos sometimes oversimplify — students may remember a “fun fact” but struggle to apply it in problem-solving. Constant exposure to fast content trains the brain to expect stimulation, making complex reading or full lectures harder to sit through. ____38____ Students can end up overwhelmed, recalling bits of many topics but mastering none.

Here’s where it gets tricky. Short-video platforms aren’t built for studying, they’re built for endless scrolling. That means students who go in looking for a “quick explainer” often end up an hour deep into unrelated content. ____39____ Students describe feeling “busy” while scrolling through study content, but later realize they didn’t remember much.

____40____ The reality is, it’s both. Short-form content is a tool, not a replacement. Students who use it as a supplement to traditional learning gain the best of both worlds: quick tips and deeper practice. Those who depend only on it often face burnout, divided attention, or surface-level understanding.

A. So, is short-form video helping or hurting?

B. This makes learning fit easily into daily life.

C. Many creators make money by posting educational short clips.

D. To them, such videos don’t just entertain but feel like learning.

E. Short videos make students unable to finish homework within fixed time.

F. Besides, too many short videos, brief as they are, can cause information overload.

G. This unclear line between entertainment and education makes it harder to manage time.

浙江新月联盟2026-2027学年高三年级上学期第一次联考英语试题

The World Cup is in full swing, and a lot of devoted fans are staying up late to watch the game. But the next morning, the price is paid: grogginess, low energy, and poor concentration.____16____ Can it actually help? In fact, the answer is not simply “sleep enough” or “the longer, the better.”

Catching up on sleep after a late night really works. Sleep is the body’s repair factory. Late nights disrupt the normal secretion of growth hormone and melatonin, which are crucial for initiating tissue repair and maintaining immune function. Without recovery sleep, the body remains in a stress state, keeping the sympathetic nervous system overactive.____17____

However, many fans fall into the trap of thinking, ”I stayed up for X hours, so I’ll sleep for X hours during the day,” and end up sleeping until noon.____18____ The body’s circadian rhythm is regulated by melatonin, which rises after 10 p.m. and peaks between 2 and 4 a.m. — the prime window for deep restorative sleep. Sleeping long hours during the day delays melatonin release, making it hard to fall asleep at night, leading to a cycle of "drowsy by day, sleepless by night.” ____19____ Even eight hours of daytime sleep cannot match the restorative effect of nighttime sleep, and you may still wake up with aches, dizziness, and fatigue.

____20____The best time to nap is between 1 p.m. and 3 p.m., which aligns with the body’s natural afternoon dip-you’ll fall asleep faster and wake up more refreshed. The optimal duration is no more than one hour. This length won’t interfere with your regular nighttime sleep, while going over an hour may plunge you into deep sleep, leaving you even more groggy upon waking. Also, If you nap at your desk, use a proper neck pillow to avoid pressure on your eyes and stomach. With smart recovery strategies, you can enjoy the World Cup and still keep your health in check.

A. The key is quality over quantity.

B. Moreover, daytime sleep is mostly light sleep.

C. So many people will choose to have a recovery sleep.

D. This can lead to many increased risks of disease over time.

E. Some people even argue that skipping sleep is a sign of devotion.

F. In fact, sleeping in the daytime correctly is better than sleeping at night.

G. Excessive daytime sleep disrupts biological clock and causes a vicious cycle.
