While some people have tried going cold turkey(快速戒掉坏习惯) or even punishing themselves for their mobile phones, an app is made available in the UK that rewards people for staying away from their devices.‎ The app, called Hold, was created by Norwegians Maths Mathisen, Florian Winder, and Vinoth Vinaya while they are studying at Copenhagen's Business school, to help break fellow students' attachments to their devices.‎ - 13 -‎ The three college students found that positive reinforcement(强化)was the best way of beating smartphone addiction. Hold allows students to collect points for staying off their devices between the hours of 7 am and 11 pm; they get 10 points for every 20 minutes.‎ Through partnerships with universities and businesses, points can be used for discounts on everything from cinema tickets to Amazon goods to cafe food and drink. A half price cinema ticket, for example, costs 60 points, or 2 hours away from a phone. And a￡5($ 6.88)Amazon voucher (代金券) needs 1,000 points, or 33 hours off your smartphone.‎ Students can also use their points to buy school books and stationery(文具), which are then donated to schools partnered with children's charity Unicef.‎ Over 120, 000 people use the app in Scandinavia, including 40 percent of higher education students in Norway, where Hold first came onto market in February 2016. It's now available to students from over 170 universities in the UK.‎ A 2017 University of Texas study claimed that merely placing a smartphone in someone's line of sight slowed down their productivity, response time, and reduced their grades. An earlier study from the London School of Economics found students who didn't use smartphones on school grounds saw their test scores increase 6. 4 percent.‎ ‎24. The app Hold was created mainly to .‎ A. promote online sales of goods B. earn discounts on goods or services C. find new uses of mobile phones D. help students put down their smartphones ‎25. How long should a student stay off the mobile phone to get 300 points?‎ A. 6 hours. B. 10 hours. C. 15 hours. D. 30 hours.‎ ‎26. What is the main purpose of the text?‎ A. To tell the story of Hold creation B. To present people's opinions of Hold C. To give a brief introduction of Hold D. To attract potential customers to Hold ‎27. Where is the text most likely to appear?‎ A. A newspaper advertisement B. A computer textbook C. A science magazine D. An official document C The dancer put a cardigan sweater over her leotard. Then she sat down to eat a sandwich. Cardigan, leotard, sandwich-where did these words come from? Did you know that each of them ‎ - 13 -‎ was a person's name? Words that come from proper names are called eponyms(名祖名词), and there are many eponyms in English.‎ The sandwich, for example, was named for John Montagu, the Earl(伯爵)of Sandwich. He lived from 1718-1792. He loved to play cards and did not want to stop a game even to eat. By putting cold meat between two pieces of bread, he could eat while he played.‎ The cardigan sweater was named for an officer in the British army. In the 1800s, James Thomas Brudenell, the Earl of Cardigan, spent his own money to buy special knitted(针织的)jackets for the men in his army. Knitted jackets with buttons soon came to be called cardigans.‎ Jules Leotard was a French circus performer. In 1859, at the age of twenty-one, Leotard performed the first mid-air somersault(空翻). He became known as the "daring young man on the flying trapeze(吊杠)". Leotard invented a close-fitting one-piece suit to wear when he performed. Dancers still call their close-fitting garments leotards.‎ Another person who gave her name to a style of clothing was Amelia Bloomer. Bloomer was the editor of a magazine called The Lily. American women in her day were expected to wear heavy skirts that dragged on the floor. In 1851, a young woman named Elizabeth Smith Miller introduced a new kind of clothing that was much easier to move around in. She wore a dress that came only to the knees. Under it she wore loose pants that fitted close at the ankles. Amelia Bloomer published a picture of the outfit(全套服装)in the Lily. She hoped women would adopt the new style. In news stories, reporters called the pants "bloomers". A hundred years later, people were still using the word.‎ There are many other words that come from people's names. The diesel engine was named for its inventor, Rudolf Diesel. The word boycott comes from the name of an English landlord named Charles Boycott. Where each word came from is a story in itself. Who knows, maybe your name will become a word someday.‎ ‎28. Why did the Earl of Sandwich invent the "sandwich"?‎ A. He found it boring to play cards.‎ B. He preferred to eat meat and bread.‎ C. He wanted to create a new kind of food.‎ D. He could eat while playing cards without stopping the game.‎ ‎29. According to the text, what do "bloomers" refer to?‎ - 13 -‎ A. Loose dresses B. Loose pants worn under a dress C. Dresses that came to the knees D. Heavy skirts dragged on the floor ‎30. What do the words cardigan, leotard and sandwich have in common?‎ A. They are still in use today. B. They were first used in the army.‎ C. They belong to the clothing category. D. They were invented during the same period.‎ ‎31. What is the best title for this passage?‎ A. Ways to remember words. B. Words that come from people's names.‎ C. The history of garments development. D. The unknown stories behind English words.‎ D A team of researchers led by engineers from Penn State University has created the first material that heals itself in the presence of water, according to a study published in Scientific Reports. The material, inspired by squid(鱿鱼)teeth, could be used to repair instruments in water-filled environments that are difficult to access, such as the human body, or the bottom of the sea.‎ The researchers had been studying squids' ring teeth, which are uniquely strong and can change state from liquid to solid in the presence of water. After testing ring teeth samples from several species of squid found all over the world, the researchers uncovered the genetic code for the proteins (蛋白质) that allow the teeth to heal themselves when broken. They then changed the genetic structure of bacteria to produce the proteins so they could conduct more tests.‎ The researchers then made the proteins into a rubbery plastic by mixing them with a solvent(溶剂)and letting the solvent change into a gas. The resulting material combines a soft, shapeless part of the protein that gives the plastic its self-healing characteristics and a more structured sheet of amino acids(氨基酸)that give it a solid structure.‎ To test the material's strength, the researchers cut it, and then put the two pieces back together with a drop of water. They found that the material healed best at 113 degrees Fahrenheit, a little warmer than the temperature of the human body, and with slight pressure from a metal tool. The material was just as strong, and able to hold the same amount of weight, before and after it was cut.‎ Material that heals itself in the presence of water could expand the usability of biomedical implants(移植). Of course, this material is nowhere near ready for that application, and the researchers didn't test whether the constant presence of water degrades(降低)the plastic's ability to heal itself. The researchers next plan to study how their technology could help heal wounds.‎ - 13 -‎ ‎32. According to paragraph 3, the rubbery plastic become self-healing in combination with .‎ A. amino acids B. another kind of rubber C. a mixture of gases D. some protein ‎33. In paragraph 4, the researchers carried out a test to check whether the material .‎ A. was fit for human body B. would melt at high temperatures C. could be connected with the metal D. would recover its original strength after healing itself ‎34. What is the author's attitude towards the self-healing material?‎ A. Positive. B. Objective. C. Doubtful. D. Critical.‎ ‎35. What is the main idea of the text?‎ A. A kind of self-healing teeth was made from squids' ring teeth.‎ B. The genetic code of squids' special teeth has been uncovered.‎ C. Super-strong material inspired by squid teeth is self-healing.‎ D. A special rubbery plastic is used to replace squids' teeth.‎ 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。选项中有两项为多余选项。‎ Imagine going to the doctor to get treatment for a terrible fever. 36 The robot detects(检测) the cause of your fever, travels to the appropriate system and provides medication directly to the infected area.‎ ‎ 37 They're called nanorobots(纳米机器人)and engineering teams around the world are working to design robots that will eventually be used to treat everything from fever to cancer.‎ In recent years researchers have been building nanorobots out of a familiar material-the same stuff that makes human life possible. 38 DNA is literally all around(and in)you-you just can't see it. If you were to look inside almost any cell inside any living creature, you would find DNA.‎ This might sound surprising-especially since these nanorobots don't need batteries or any power source. Instead, they work by using the natural structure of DNA. These nanorobots "crawl" on DNA. Sometimes researchers refer to these things as DNA "spiders" 39 A nanorobot could, perhaps, destroy just a cancerous cell, for example, but leave healthy cells alone.‎ ‎ 40 But the future is bright for DNA-built nanorobots. One day, perhaps DNA-made machines will swim around in the human body, delivering medicine to diseased cells or helping doctors diagnose problems. Or maybe they'll help build the smallest computers the world has ever - 13 -‎ ‎ seen.‎ A. These nanorobots are made of DNA.‎ B. Nanorobots made from DNA aren't useful yet.‎ C. In other words, the DNA nanorobot destroys the track as it goes.‎ D. This description will give you a simple picture of the legs of a DNA nanorobot.‎ E. Being able to make such a tiny thing move in a certain way might be useful for health.‎ F. Instead of giving you a pill or a shot, the doctor puts a tiny robot into your bloodstream.‎ G. In fact, we're not that far off from seeing devices like this actually used in medical procedures.‎ 第三部分 语言知识运用(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)‎ 阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。‎ Mr. Dawson was an old grouch(坏脾气的人), and everyone in town knew it.
