You feel upset if your phone is getting low on power, and you secretly worry things will go wrong at work if you’re not there. All these can be called “always on” stress caused by smartphone addiction. For some people, smartphones have freed them from the nine-to-five work. Flexible working has given them more autonomy(自主权) in their working lives and enabled them to spend more time with their friends and families. For many others though, smartphones have become tyrants (暴君) in their pockets, never allowing them to turn them off, relax and recharge their batteries. Pittsburgh-based developer Kevin Holesh was worried about how much he was ignoring his family and friends in favour of his iPhone. So he developed an app — Moment — to monitor his usage. The app enables users to see how much time they’re spending on the device and set up warnings if the usage limits are breached (突破). “Moment’s goal is to promote balance in your life,” his website explains. “Some time on your phone, some time off it enjoying your loving family and friends around you.” Dr Christine Grant, an occupational psychologist at Coventry University, said, “The effects of this ‘always on’ culture are that your mind is never resting, and you’re not giving your body time to recover, so you’re always stressed. And the more tired and stressed we get, the more mistakes we make. Physical and mental health can suffer.” And as the number of connected smartphones is increasing, so is the amount of data. This is leading to a sort of decision paralysis (瘫痪) and is creating more stress in the workplace because people have to receive a broader range of data and communications which are often difficult to manage. “It actually makes it more difficult to make decisions and many do less because they’re controlled by it all and feel they can never escape the office,” said Dr Christine Grant. 25. What’s the first paragraph mainly about? A. The popularity of smartphones. B. The progress of modern technology. C. The signs of “always on” stress. D. The cause of smartphone addiction. 26. Kevin Holesh developed Moment to __________. A. research how people use their mobile phones B. make people better use mobile phones C. increase the fun of using mobile phones D. help people control their use of mobile phones 27. What’s Dr Christine Grant’s attitude towards “always on” culture? A. Confused. B. Critical. C. Doubtful. D. Positive. 28. According to the last paragraph, a greater amount of data means __________. A. we can make a decision more quickly B. we can work more effectively C. we will be equipped with more knowledge D. we will become less productive C As a mom who had already lost her son, a Houston nurse became concerned when she heard about the popular Netflix show 13 Reasons Why. By then her 15-year-old daughter had already been attracted to it. In the show, the main character feels hopeless and kills herself. Mental health experts believe that the show's messages on suicide are dangerous. Educators have warned parents that it glamorizes the idea of suicide and could lead to an increase in imitation among students. They’re worried about children watching it alone without parents beside them. Employees from some elementary and middle schools have seen an increase in self-harm among students since the show began. Netflix believed that the show has helped bring up important conversations in many families. Though some parents loved the show, for the nurse’s family, it was a disaster. Her daughter has been suffering from depression since her brother’s death. With treatment, things got better until she watched the series. “If I’d known about the show beforehand I would have monitored her Netflix account,” said the nurse. “If kids have a history of depression or suicidal thoughts, I don’t think they need to watch it. ” The show’s creators said they did make part of the show painful to watch because they wanted to make it clear that there is nothing worthwhile about suicide. Before its release, a producer sought the support of the JED Foundation, a teen suicide prevention group. “I think they were looking for us to say it was a great educational tool, or that they handled the issues in a psychologically helpful way,” said a medical officer. The group issued a guide about the show, advising people who choose to watch it to view it with someone else and to take breaks between episodes (剧集). 29. What does the underlined word “glamorizes” in Paragraph 2 mean? A. Makes something seem more attractive. B. Makes something become more strange. C. Makes something become more fearful. D. Makes something seem more touching. 30. The creators may agree that the show ________. A. includes dangerous messages B. encourages self-harm C. is educational and helpful D. is pleasant to watch 31. What is the passage mainly about? A. A TV show that caused discussion. B. The story of a mom and her daughter. C. An educational TV show. D. Some common teen problems. D Students from Florida International University in Miami walked on water Thursday for a class assignment. To do it, they wore aquatic (水上的) shoes they designed and created. Alex Quinones was the first to make it to the other side of a 175-foot lake on campus in record time—just over a minute. Quinones, who wore oversized boat-like shoes, also won last year and will receive $500. Students had to wear the aquatic shoes and make it across the lake in order to earn an “A” on the assignment for Architecture Professor Jaime Canaves, Materials and Methods Construction Class. “It's traditional in a school of architecture to do boats out of cardboard for a boat race. I thought our students were a little bit more special than that,”Canaves said. “We decided to do the walk on water event to take it to the next level.” A total of 79 students competed in the race this year in 41 teams. Only 10 teams failed to cross the lake. Others who fell got back up and made it to the end. The race is open to all students and anyone in the community. The youngest person to ever participate was a 9-year-old girl who competed in place of her mother, while the oldest was a 67-year-old female. A large crowd on campus joined Canaves as he cheered on the racers. He shouted encouraging words, but also laughed as some unsteadily made their way to the end. “A part of this is for them to have more understanding of designing and make it work better，” he said. It is also a lesson in life for the students. “Anything, including walking on water, is possible, if you do the research, test it and go through the design process seriously.” 32．For what purpose did the students take part in the race? A．To go across the lake to school. B．To test their balance on the water. C．To win the prize money of $500. D．To pass Professor Canaves' class. 33．Which of the following statements is true according to the passage? A．The students took part in the race to challenge their physical abilities. B．The students who fell into the water were criticized seriously by the Professor. C．Most students finished the class assignment successfully. D．The students wore shoes distributed by Professor Canaves to walk across the lake. 34．What can we infer from the passage? A．It's a custom for the people in the community to get involved in student activities. B．Professor Canaves attaches importance to hands-on learning experience. C．The student who made it to the end in the race would succeed in their professional career. D．Alex Quinones is a top student in the university. 35．The purpose of the passage is to ________. A．show his approval of the unique teaching style B．inspire teachers to be more creative C．report an interesting assignment D．encourage more people to take part in the race 第二节 （共 5 小题；每小题 2 分，满分 10 分） 根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中的两项为多余选项。 Although problems are a part of our lives, it certainly doesn’t mean that we let them rule our lives forever. One day or the other, you’ll have to stand up and say – problem, I don’t want you in my life. 36 Problems with friends, parents, girlfriends, husbands, and children – the list goes on. Apart from these, the inner conflicts within ourselves work, too. These keep adding to our problems. Problems come in different shapes and colors and feelings. But good news is that all problems can be dealt with. Now read on to know how to solve your problems. Talk, it really helps. What most of us think is that our problems can be understood only by us and that no talking is going to help. 37 Talking helps you move on and let go. Write your problems. 38 When you write down your problems, you are setting free all the tension from your system. You can try throwing away the paper on which you wrote your problems. By doing this, imagine yourself throwing away the problems from your life. Don’t lose faith and hope. No matter what you lose in life, don’t lose faith and hope. Even if you lose all your money, family… you should still have faith. 39 Your problems aren’t the worst. No matter what problem you get in life, there’re another one million people whose problems are huger than yours. 40 Your problems might just seem big and worse, but in reality they can be removed. Go about and solve your problems because every problem, however big or small, always has a way out. A. When we have a problem, a pressing, critical, urgent, life-threatening problem, how do we try and solve it? B. Of course, we’ve been fighting troubles ever since we were born. C. But the truth is that when you talk about it, you’re setting free the negative energies that have been gathering within you. D. We can often overcome the problem and achieve the goal by making a direct attack. E. Having a personal diary can also be of huge help if you don’t want a real person to talk with. F. With faith and hope, you can rebuild everything that you lose. G. Tell yourself: when they can deal with them, why can’t I? 第三部分：英语知识运用(共两节，满分 45 分) 第一节：完形填空 (共 20 小题，每小题 1.5 分, 满分 30 分) In Twain, many people know what a “motorpool” means.
