He didn't look like any doctor I'd ever known. He never yelled at us for playing in his yard, but was always very ‎ kind.‎ When Doctor Gibbs wasn't saving lives, he was planting trees. He had some interesting theories about planting trees. He believed in the principle: "No pain, no gain". He hardly watered his new trees, which flew in the face of conventional wisdom. Once I asked why and he told me that watering plants spoiled them because it made them grow weaker. He said you had to make things tough for the trees so that only the strongest could survive. He talked about how watering trees made them develop shallow roots and how, if they were not watered, trees would grow deep roots in search of water. So, instead of watering his trees every morning, he'd beat them with a rolled-up newspaper. I asked him why he did that, and he said it was to get the tree's attention.‎ Doctor Gibbs died a couple of years after I left home. Every now and then, I walked by his house and looked at the trees that I'd watched him plant some twenty five years ago. They were all tall and strong.‎ I planted a couple of trees myself a few years ago. Two years of attending these trees meant they grew up weak. Whenever a cold wind blew, their branches trembled. Adversity(逆境) seemed to benefit Doctor Gibb's trees in ways comfort and ease never could.‎ Every night before I go to bed, I check on my two sons. I often pray that their lives will be easy. But lately I've been thinking that it's time to change my prayer. I know my children are going to meet with hardship. There's always a cold wind blowing somewhere. What we need to do is to pray for deep roots, so when the rains fall and the winds blow, we won't be torn apart. ‎ ‎21. With the trees planted, Doctor Gibbs often __________.　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　‎ A. kept watering them every morning B. beat them to make them grow deep roots ‎ C. talked to them to get their attention D. paid little attention to them ‎ ‎22. Which prayer does the author wish for his sons now ?‎ ‎ A. Have an easy life, without too much to worry about.‎ ‎ B. Meet people like Dr Gibbs in the future.‎ ‎ C. Be able to stand the rain and wind in their lives.‎ ‎ D. Have good luck, meeting with less hardship in their life.‎ ‎23. Which of the following can be the best title of the passage?‎ A. Growing roots B. Doctor Gibbs and his trees C. Prayers for my sons D. Watering trees Ｂ 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 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.‎ ‎24. What’s the first paragraph mainly about? ‎ A. The popularity of smartphones. B. The progress of modern technology.‎ C. The cause of smartphone addiction. D. The signs of “always on” stress.‎ ‎25. Kevin Holesh developed Moment to __________.‎ A. research how people use their mobile phones ‎ B. make people better use mobile phones C. help people control their use of mobile phones ‎ D. increase the fun of using mobile phones ‎26. What’s Dr Christine Grant’s attitude towards “always on” culture?‎ A. Confused. B. Positive. C. Doubtful. D. Critical.‎ ‎27. According to the last paragraph, a greater amount of data means __________.‎ A. we can make a decision more quickly B. we will become less productive C. we will be equipped with more knowledge D. we can work more effectively ‎ C ‎　On this week's Travelogue podcast(播客), our editors discussed their top picks for last-minute trips to take in the last few weeks of summer.‎ ‎　1. ‎Hong Kong ‎　"A fare war is still keeping prices for round-trip flights to Hong Kong at an all-time low. You can still find September flights for less than $ 600, which is an unbelievable steal. "‎ ‎－Meredith Carey[]‎ ‎　2. ‎Aspen‎, ‎Colorado ‎　"I've been to Aspen in the summer for the Food & Wine C1assic and it feels like you're stepping into a remake of The Sound of Music. And the weather is perfect :just warm enough but not humid at all. Over the Food & Wine Classic, you'll pay through the nose, but during the summer, in the off season, the flights to a lot of the ski spots are offering great ‎ deals.",‎ ‎－Mark Ellwood ‎　3. ‎London ‎　"Flight prices to London in the summer are always high but they're the lowest I've ever seen. They're under$ 1, 000, which for August is unheard of. If you wait until September, we've seen fares in the $ 500 range, and your dollar will go a lot further. "‎ ‎－Mark Ellwood ‎　4. ‎Edinburgh ‎　"Wow Air just launched $ 189 one-way fares from the U. S.‎ to Edinburgh, which is alone a reason to go. From Boston, Washington, D. C., L. A., and San Francisco you can now get there and back for under $ 400 with the option of a stopover ( 中途停留 ) in Reykjavik."‎ ‎－Meredith Carey ‎28. Which of the following can replace the underlined word "steal"? ‎ A. choice B. bargain. C. opportunity. D. experience.‎ ‎29. What do the four trips have in common?‎ A. The flight prices are relatively low.‎ B. They are growing in popularity this summer.‎ C. They are all specially designed for foreigners.‎ D.

To describe the features of four hot spots.‎ C. To introduce four economical summer trips.‎ D. To encourage readers to travel all over the world.‎ 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.‎ ‎ 31 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. 32 Talking helps you move on and let go.‎ Write your problems. 33 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. 34 ‎ ‎ 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. 35 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.
