10．You get anxious if there's no wi-fi in the hotel or mobile phone signal up the mountain．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 smart phone addiction．
For some people，smart phones have liberated them free from the nine-to-five work．Flexible working has given them more control over their working lives and enabled them to spend more time with their friends and families．For many others though，smart phones have become cruel masters in their pockets，never allowing them to turn them off and relax．
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．"Moment's goal is to promote balance in your life，"his website explains．"Some time on your phone，some time off of it enjoying your loving family and friends around you．"
Dr Christine Grant，an occupational psychologist at Coventry University，said，"The effects of this‘a(chǎn)lways 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 smart phones is increasing，so is the amount of data．This is leading to a sort of decision paralysis（癱瘓）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．

28．What's the first paragraph mainly about？A
A．The signs of"always on"stress．
B．The progress of modern technology．
C．The popularity of smart phones．
D．The solutions of smart phone addiction．
29．Kevin Holesh developed Moment toD．
A．research how people use their mobile phones
B．increase the fun of using mobile phones
C．make people better use mobile phones
D．help people control their use of mobile phones
30．What's Dr Christine Grant's attitude towards"always on"culture？C
A．Confused．B．Positive．C．Critical．D．Doubtful．
31．According to the last paragraph，a greater amount of data meansB．
A．we can work more effectively
B．we will become less productive
C．we will be equipped with more knowledge
D．we can make a decision more quickly．

分析 本文描述了手機(jī)上癮的癥狀，為了控制人們使用手機(jī)，平衡生活，Kevin Holesh開發(fā)了一個app，"Moment"．

解答 ADCB
28 A 細(xì)節(jié)理解題．根據(jù)短文第一段最后一句All these can be called"always on"stress caused by smart phone addiction．可知，前面所列舉的情況都是過度使用智能手機(jī)而導(dǎo)致的"一直在線"的現(xiàn)象，所以A項(xiàng)符合第一段內(nèi)容的總括．B．現(xiàn)代技術(shù)的進(jìn)步；C智能機(jī)的普及；D．智能機(jī)上癮的原因，均與題意不符．故選A．
29 D 細(xì)節(jié)理解題．根據(jù)短文第三段第二、三句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 broken．可知，該軟件可以幫助人們控制好使用電子產(chǎn)品的時間．故選D．
30 C  推理判斷題．根據(jù)短文第四段中的"The effects of this‘a(chǎn)lways on'culture are that your mind is never resting…Physical and mental health can suffer．"可知Dr．Christine Grant認(rèn)為這種"一直在線"文化會使大腦永遠(yuǎn)得不到休息，也沒有時間讓身體恢復(fù)，所以總是會倍感壓力．所有這些都是不好的結(jié)果，可推知Dr．Christine Grant對于此種現(xiàn)象是持批判態(tài)度的，選C，critical批判的．confused混淆的，不解的； positive積極的，正面的； doubtful懷疑的．
31 B 細(xì)節(jié)理解題．根據(jù)短文第五段最后 It actually makes it more difficult to make decisions and many do less because they're controlled by it all…可知，由于深受大量數(shù)據(jù)的困擾，人們更難做出決定，做的工作也少了，與less productive"低效率的"含義相同．故選B．

點(diǎn)評 一、速讀全文，了解大意知主題．
　　閱讀能力一般指閱讀速度和理解能力兩個方面．閱讀速度是閱讀最基本的能力．考生必須在十分有限的時間內(nèi)運(yùn)用略讀、掃讀、跳讀等技巧快速閱讀，搜尋關(guān)鍵詞、主題句，捕捉時空、順序、情節(jié)、人物、觀點(diǎn)，并且理清文章脈絡(luò)，把握語篇實(shí)質(zhì)．
二、看題干，帶著問題讀文章．
　　首先要掌握問題的類型，客觀信息題可以從文章中直接找到答案；而主觀判斷題考查的是對文章的感情基調(diào)等，這類題必須經(jīng)過對作者的態(tài)度、意圖以及對整篇文章進(jìn)行深一層的推理等．其次，了解試題題干以及各個選項(xiàng)所包含的信息，然后有針對性地對文章進(jìn)行掃讀，對有關(guān)信息進(jìn)行快速定位．此法加強(qiáng)了閱讀的針對性，提高了做題的準(zhǔn)確率．
　　三、邏輯推理，做好深層理解題．
　　在實(shí)際閱讀中，有時作者并未把意圖說出來，閱讀者要根據(jù)字面意思，通過語篇邏輯關(guān)系，研究細(xì)節(jié)的暗示，推敲作者的態(tài)度，理解文章的寓義．要求讀者對文字的表面信息進(jìn)行分析、挖掘和邏輯推理，不能就事論事，以偏概全．推理題在提問中常用的詞有：infer，imply，suggest，indicate等．
　　四、猜詞悟義，掃除閱讀攔路虎．
　　猜詞是應(yīng)用英語的重要能力．它不但需要準(zhǔn)確無誤地理解上下文，而且要有較大的泛讀量，掌握或認(rèn)識較多的課外詞匯．我們要學(xué)會"順藤摸瓜"，通過構(gòu)詞，語法，定義，同位，對比，因果，常識，上下文等線索確定詞義．

3．It is only during the last few years that man has generally realized that in the world of nature a balance exists （存在 ） between all forms of life．No living thing can exist by itself； it is part of a system in which all forms of life are joined together．If we change one part of the nature order，this will in turn almost certainly bring about changes in some other part．
The cutting down of forests reduces the supply of oxygen．The killing of weeds and insects by chemicals leads to the widespread poisoning （中毒） of animals and birds．The throwing of waste products into the ocean hurts life in the sea，while waste gases change the chemical balance of atmosphere and shut out some of the sun's necessary life-giving rays．
And so we could go on，adding more examples，until in despair （絕望） we might feel like giving up the struggle to control and keep within limits these harmful human activities．Man is very clever at changing the world around him to satisfy his immediate need，but he is not so clever at looking far ahead，or at thinking about what the future results of his action might be．Man may well destroy himself in his attempt （企圖） to be too ambitious （野心）．

21．The examples given in the second paragraph are evidences （證據(jù)） thatD．
A．it is during the last few years that man has generally known the balance of nature
B．there are some living things which can exist by themselves without change
C．a(chǎn)ll forms of life belong to a system in which all the parts can be changed for another
D．we cannot change one form of life without destroying the balance of nature
22．The last paragraph suggests that，in man's attempt to increase immediate benefits，A．
A．man often fails to think about his future results of his action
B．man is always too ambitious to planning distant future
C．man often feels that he will have to give up in despair
D．man is always anxious to control and keep his activities within limits
23．Which of the following statements is true？B
A．Cutting down woods does little harm to human beings．
B．Man has to pay much attention to the future results of his present action．
C．Oxygen comes from forests．
D．This passage tells us to try our best to get as much as possible immediately．
24．Which of the following is the best title of this passage？B
A．The Secret of Nature
B．The Balance of Nature
C．The Order of Nature
D．The Change of Nature．

1．All you will leave behind for the world to remember is your legacy（遺產(chǎn)），but what legacy will you leave？

18．Cold weather has a great effect on how our minds and our bodies work．Maybe that is why there are so many expressions that use the word cold．For centuries，the body's blood has been linked closely with the emotions．People who show no human emotions or feelings，for example，are said to be cold-blooded．Cold-blooded people act in merciless ways．They may do cruel things to others，and not by accident．For example，a newspaper says the police are searching for a cold-blooded killer．The killer murdered someone，not in self-defense．He seemed to kill with no emotion．
Cold can affect other parts of the body，the feet，for example．Heavy socks can warm your feet，if your feet are really cold．But there is an expression-to get cold feet-that has nothing to do with cold or your feet．The expression means being afraid to do something you had decided to do．For example，you agree to be president of an organization．But then you learn that all the other officers have given up the position．All the work of the organization will be your responsibility．You are likely to get cold feet about being president when you understand the situation．
Cold can also affect your shoulder．You give someone the cold shoulder when you refuse to speak to them．You treat them in a distant，cold way．The expression probably comes from the physical act of turning your back toward someone，instead of speaking to him face-to-face．You may give a cold shoulder to a friend who has not kept a promise he made to you．Or，to someone who has lied about you to others．
A cold fish is not a fish．It is a person．But it is a person who is unfriendly，unemotional and shows no love or warmth．A cold fish does not offer much of himself to anyone．
Out in the cold is an expression often heard．It means not getting something that everybody else got．A person might say that everybody but him got a pay raise．He was left out in the cold．And it is not a pleasant place to be．

68．The text is intended to tell us thatB．
A．cold weather has a great effect on human bodies．
B．many English expressions contain the word cold．
C．cold is a word all used to describe human emotions．
D．the word cold has many different meanings in English．
69．Which of the following can best describe a person who is unwilling to offer anything to others？D
A．Cold-blooded．B．To get cold feet．C．A cold shoulder．D．A cold fish．
70．If a teacher gives all the boys except Tom a pen as a prize，you can say TomC．
A．is given the cold shoulder．
B．is punished by a cold fish．
C．is left out in the cold．
D．has got cold feet．
