Whenever there is a moment to spare while on the train, taxi or waiting in a queue, people busy themselves with their mobile phones. ‎ Some people believe our unhealthy obsession(着迷) with mobile phones is destroying how we appreciate the little things in life or miss the moments that matter. The truth is that technology overall should be seen as just a tool to improve our lives.‎ Mobile phones have certainly had a great influence on our lives, but I truly believe it is for the better.‎ It’s changed the way we communicate, whether for work or play. We are now less constrained(限制)by time and geographical location. With my mobile phone, I can dial into conference calls while stuck in a traffic jam, or reply to urgent e-mails while on the go. I can send a text message or share photos and videos with friends who aren’t living in the same country. My phone calendar keeps my life organized, and even Facebook, Twitter, and instant messaging are now accessible from mobile phones!‎ The mobile revolution isn’t just changing the lives of urbanities (都市人) like myself. I know of a young Bangladeshi woman named Shompa Akhter who is crazy about fashion and design. She dreamt about starting her own business and she did just that, opening a shop in Kushtia featuring her own creations. Dealing with supplies in different towns was a problem for Shompa --- purchase orders had to either be hand delivered or mailed out to supplies. Shompa also found it tough publicizing her business to potential customers outside her town. But once she learnt to operate the mobile phone, she was addicted. The 25-year-old businesswoman now stays in touch easily with her suppliers. Mobile e-mail is a blessing in her life.‎ Who would have thought that mobility could bring about such enormous change? It shouldn’t really be a surprise though.‎ ‎21. In the first two paragraphs, the author wants to show ___________. ‎ A. mobile phones make people communicate less B. mobile phones make people’s life more enjoyable C. people’s health is greatly affected by mobile phones D. people become addicted to mobile phones in daily life ‎22. What’s the author’s attitude towards mobile phones? .‎ A. Doubtful B. Supportive C. Critical D. Uninterested ‎23. Paragraph 5 is mainly about__________.‎ A. The disadvantages of mobile phones B. New changes in Information Age C. The advantages of mobile phones D. The author’s personal experiences ‎24. How is the text mainly developed? ‎ A. By inferring. B. By analyzing causes.‎ C. By giving examples. D. By comparing different ideas.‎ B Are you learning a foreign 1anguage? Do you find it challenging to learn a foreign language? However, there are a few tips you can use in order to earn a top grade as well as actually use the skills you've learned．‎ One of the most important and basic lessons in dealing with a foreign language is to learn and understand each concept and lesson before moving on to the next one. If you don’t understand one concept but move on to the next chapter anyway, you're less likely to understand the new material. ‎ ‎ Learning a new language is not only an academic tool，but can help you in your everyday life as well. Being good at another language can help you communicate with other people, aid you when traveling to foreign countries, and even make your resume look better.‎ ‎ And it is important to learn correct pronunciation as soon as possible for poor pronunciation can be hard to break. Native speakers of the language as well as others fluent in the language you are 1earning will appreciate your efforts to learn correct pronunciation. ‎ ‎ Gather outside materials such as books, study guides, books on tape, and travel books to aid you in learning the language. Your textbooks can't possibly teach you everything you need to know, so seeking out—side sources is generally a good rule of thumb to keep in mind.‎ ‎ A significant motivator in learning a foreign language is traveling to the country where the language is spoken. That way，you can see firsthand how the language is used, learn the culture, and meet native speakers of the language. Native speakers appreciate sincere attempts of others who take the time to learn their language.‎ ‎ Seek out native speakers of your new language in your school or neighborhood. They can help you with many skills, including pronunciation, and they can provide immediate feedback on your progress.‎ 25. This passage is written to __________.‎ A. explain why learning a foreign language is challenging B. tell us the importance of learning foreign 1anguages C. tell us some ways of earning a top grade D. give us some tips on learning foreign languages 26. What's the best subtitle(副标题) of Paragraph 3?‎ A. Think beyond academic tool. B. Learn each concept.‎ B. Plan a trip to use your skills． D. Consider a language as an academic tool.‎ 25. We can learn from the passage that __________.‎ A. textbooks are not good for us when 1earning a foreign language B. ‎1earning pronunciation well from the very beginning is very important C. poor pronunciation can be easy to break with the help of native speakers D. seeking too many outside sources will be more harmful than beneficial C Next time you hear a funny joke you’d better not laugh too hard. According to a paper published by the British Medical Journal, laughter isn’t always the best medicine. Sometimes it can even be harmful. Professor Robin Ferner from the University‎ of ‎Birmingham, one of the authors of the study, found that bad things could happen to people who laughed too much. He says: “We found people with heartbeat problems which had stopped their heart, we found people who had fainted(昏倒), and we found people who’d dislocated their jaws or burst their lungs.”‎ It seems that laughing can be no laughing matter. But it’s not all doom and gloom. Professor Ferner says there are benefits to laughing when you want to lose weight, for example. Yes, that’s right: laugh and be slimmer! Professor Ferner explains that: “You use energy when you laugh, you move your diaphragm(横膈膜), you expand your lungs, and both those things can be helpful.”‎ According to the research, laughing for a quarter of an hour can burn up to 40 calories, and if you laughed all day you’d use up about 2,000 calories, which is what most people consume in a day. But don’t do that or you might end up with a painful jaw. Ouch! Or you might find people looking at you in a funny way.‎ But I don’t want to finish this article leaving you feeling desperate. Laughter comes naturally for most of us. Babies begin to laugh at around 3-6 months. So give in to your sense of humour and keep smiling. Life is short anyway.‎ ‎28. Laughing too much may cause the following harmful results EXCEPT_________.‎ A. heart stop B. diaphragm movement C. lung burst D. jaw dislocation ‎29. The underlined phrase “doom and gloom” in Paragraph 2 probably means_______.‎ A. hopeless B. funny C. painful D. nervous ‎30. How many calories can you use if you laugh for half a day?‎ A. About 40. B. About 1,000. C. About 2,000. D. About 2,040.‎ ‎31. What is the author’s attitude towards laughing in the last paragraph?‎ ‎ A. Uninterested. B. Disapproving. C. Worried. D. Favorable.‎ D In my life I've been told that teamwork is golden. There is no “i” in “team”. And for many years it is true. Living alone gets a bad rap (受到责备) in our society. But I've found that living alone can be a positive experience.‎ I'm not the first person to notice the appeal of being our own roommate—31 million people are living alone in the U.S.‎, making up 28 percent of the total population, according to a survey. In NYC, the number jumps to 1 in 2.Comparing that number to the 9 percent of people who lived alone in 1950, we know we have a trend on our hands.‎ In my opinion, many people are afraid of being totally alone. But I've learned to really enjoy my own company.When I first started living alone, I found that I could go anywhere without using my voice.Sometimes I would stop at a grocery store and buy something I didn't need just to test that I could say “thank you” to the cashier. But then I discovered something far easier—I started talking to myself.‎ Living alone isn't the same thing as living lonely. When I'm feeling a need for communication, I reach out for it.Or I can pick up the phone to call my family or those roommates. When the time is right, I hope to live with a partner and even raise children. In the meantime, it's just me and me.‎ 32. From the text we know the author________．‎ A. refuses teamwork B. suffers loneliness C. is the first person to value living alone D. experiences living alone positively ‎33. What's Paragraph 2 mainly about?‎ A. The trend in 1950. ‎ B. The appeal of having no roommate.‎ C. The way of being our own roommate.‎ D. The rising number of people living alone.‎ ‎34. Why did the author sometimes buy what he didn't need?‎ A. To see whether he could speak. B. To discover something new.‎ C. To show he was wealthy. D. To enjoy others' company.‎ ‎35. By saying the underlined sentence，the author means________．‎ A. he can tell exactly “alone” from “lonely”‎ B. he feels it necessary to live in a family C. he doesn't feel lonely though living alone D. he sometimes communicates with others 第二节（共5小题，每小题2分，满分10分）‎ ‎ What Teenagers Can Do To Earn More Respect As teenagers continue to grow and develop into young adults, the transition(过渡) into adulthood has begun.
