What a miracle! How would it feel to lie back in water so thick with salt that it was impossible to sink?‎ Fed by the Jordan River and smaller streams, the Dead Sea is the lowest point on the earth’s surface, and its water is ten times saltier than the Mediterranean. With evaporation its only outlet, salt and other minerals become super-concentrated.‎ Earlier this year, I drove down the long, steep hill to realize my dream. The shoreline was a broad area of bare salt-mud, but the water edge was far out of sight. Had somebody pulled the Dead Sea’s plug? I wondered. Eli Dior, an Israeli official, explained the problem: “The Dead Sea is drying up. Every year, the surface drops about one meter, and as the water level falls, shadow areas are left high and dry.”‎ Over the last half-century, the five neighboring countries have collectively diverted nearly all the water flowing into the Dead Sea to meet human and agriculture needs. Result: the Dead Sea is being emptied.‎ With population in the region set to double at least in the next 50 years, there is little hope of restoring the water being diverted for human consumption. No country has a drop to spare for the Dead Sea, where they know it will just evaporate. To dream of opening the dams and restoring natural balance is plainly unrealistic.‎ Yet one ambitious high-tech dream may turn out to be not only the salvation of the Dead Sea but also a ticket to peace around its shores. The “Red-Dead” is a proposed $5 billion project to bring sea water some 240 kilometers by pipeline and canal from the Red Sea to the Dead Sea. The Red-Dead may be the only solution, but even if the project is carried out successfully, the Dead Sea will be 10 to 20 meters lower than now and two thirds of its current size.‎ Whatever the future holds, the Dead Sea’s magical mix of sun, mud, sea and salt will surely ‎ survive. Many might complain that the Dead Sea is half empty—but for me the Dead sea will always be half full.‎ ‎24. What’s the passage mainly about?‎ A. Dead Sea – miracle of the world.‎ B. Save the environment of the Dead Sea.‎ C. Slow shrinking of the Dead Sea.‎ D. Why is the Dead Sea so salty.‎ ‎25. The shrinking of the Dead Sea is mainly caused by ________ according to the passage.‎ A. a severe reduction of the water flowing into the sea B. rapid evaporation of the water in the Dead Sea area C. the increasing quantity of water drawn from the sea D. very low annual rainfall in the Dead Sea Area ‎26. Which of the following is right according to the passage?‎ A. With no outlet to any ocean, the Dead Sea has become by evaporation most dense waters on earth.‎ B. Though burdened with the growing population, the neighboring countries haven’t cut off the sources of the Dead Sea.‎ C. All the countries in the area will consider diverting less water from the Jordan River.‎ D. The Red-Dead Project has not only brought water to the Dead Sea, but peace to the area as well.‎ ‎27. Which of the following statements will the author approve of?‎ A. If the Dead Sea dried up, great natural disasters would happen in the region.‎ B. The Dead Sea will not survive no matter what people do to save it.‎ C. The five neighboring countries should stop diverting water from the Jordan River.‎ D. Though the Dead Sea is shrinking gradually, it will not die.‎ C You know the feeling — you have left your phone at home and feel anxious, as if you have lost your connection to the world. “Nomophobia” (无手机恐惧症) affects teenagers and adults alike. You can even do an online test to see if you have it. Last week, researchers from Hong Kong warned that nomophobia is infecting everyone. Their study found that people who use their phones to store,‎ ‎ share and access personal memories suffer most. When users were asked to describe how they felt about their phones, words such as “hurt” (neck pain was often reported) and “alone” predicted higher levels of nomophobia.‎ ‎“The findings of our study suggest that users regard smartphones as their extended selves and get attached to the devices,” said Dr. Kim Ki Joon. “People experience feelings of anxiety and unpleasantness when separated from their phones.” Meanwhile, an American study shows that smartphone separation can lead to an increase in heart rate and blood pressure.‎ So can being without your phone really give you separation anxiety? Professor Mark Griffiths, psychologist and director of the International Gaming Research Unit at Nottingham Trent University, says it is what is on the phone that counts — the social networking that creates Fomo (fear of missing out)．‎ ‎“We are talking about an Internetconnected device that allows people to deal with lots of aspects of their lives ” says Griffiths. “You would have to surgically remove a phone from a teenager because their whole life is ingrained in this device.”‎ Griffiths thinks attachment theory, where we develop emotional dependency on the phone because it holds details of our lives, is a small part of nomophobia. For “screenagers”, it is Fomo that creates the most separation anxiety. If they can’t see what’s happening on Snapchat or Instagram, they become panicstricken about not knowing what’s going on socially. “But they adapt very quickly if you take them on holiday and there’s no Internet,” says Griffiths.‎ ‎28. Which of the following may Dr. Kim Ki Joon agree with?‎ A. Phones have become part of some users.‎ B. We waste too much time on phones.‎ C. Addiction to phones makes memories suffer.‎ D. Phones and blood pressure are closely linked.‎ ‎29. According to Griffiths, we get nomophobia because ________.‎ A. we are accustomed to having a phone on us B. we worry we may miss out what our friends are doing C. we need our phones to help us store information D. we fear without phones we will run into a lot of trouble ‎30. Which of the following phrases has the closest meaning to the underlined phrase “ingrained in”‎ ‎ in Para4?‎ A. approved of .B. opposed to. C. relied on. D. determined by.‎ ‎31. Where can you probably find the above passage?‎ A. In a research report. B. In a popular science magazine.‎ C. In a science textbook. D. In a fashion brochure.‎ D Mental illness and disability were family problems for English people living between 1660 and 1800. Most women and men who suffered from mental illness were not institutionalized as this was the period before the extensive building of mental hospitals. Instead, they were housed at home, and cared for by other family members.‎ Now a new study by Cambridge historian Dr. Elizabeth Foyster will reveal the impact on families of caring for mentally ill and disabled relatives.‎ Much has been written about the insane themselves but few studies have considered mental illness from the perspective of the carers. The lifetime burden of caring for those individuals whose mental development did not progress beyond childhood, and who contemporaries labeled as ‘idiots’ or ‘fools’, has been little explored by historians. Foyster’s research, which has been funded by the Leverhulme Trust, will carefully examine the emotional and economic consequences for families at a time when the Poor Law bound them to look after their mentally ill and disabled family members.‎ By asking key questions about the impact of ‘care in the community’ in the 18th century，Foyster hopes that her research will bridge social and medical history. Specifically, she aims to provide an historical perspective for contemporary debates such as how resources can be stretched to provide for children with learning difficulties and an aging population.‎ ‎“The stresses and strains of family were worsened by high infant mortality and low life expectancy, and many individuals were pushed towards mental breakdown,” she explained. “Moreover, inherited conditions, senility(高龄) and what today would be described as ‘special needs’ could put great emotional demands on family members who had primary responsibility for their sick or disabled relatives.”‎ The research will shed light upon how caring for the mentally ill and disabled raised difficult issues for families about the limits of intergenerational responsibility, and whether family ties were ‎ weakened or strengthened by the experience. The questions of how far shame was attached to having insanity or idiocy within a family, and at what point families began to seek outside help, will also be addressed.‎ ‎“The family must have seemed an inescapable feature of daily life between 1660 and 1800,” said Foyster. “Although there were those who were abandoned and rejected, for the majority, mental disability was accommodated within the family unit. I aim to get to the heart of what this really meant for people’s lives.”‎ ‎32. Which is NOT the reason why those mentally ill and disabled were not institutionalized from 1660 to 1800?‎ A. Mental illness and disability were family problems then.‎ B. The extensive building of mental hospitals didn’t start yet.‎ C. They were abandoned by the government and the family.‎ D. The family would be found guilty if they didn’t care for them.‎ ‎33. Why does Foyster want to carry out this study?‎ A. Because it can provide some food for thought for some current social issues.‎ B. Because the stresses and strains of family life have driven many people crazy.‎ C. Because she’s looking for ways to communicate with the sick or disabled people.‎ D. Because the limits of intergenerational responsibility in such families, interest her.‎ ‎34. Which question will NOT be studied in the research?‎ A. How should resources today be stretched to provide for an aging population?‎ B. How did caring for the sick and disabled affect the family’s earning power?‎ C. How shameful did a family feel when their insane or disabled relatives were found out?‎ D At what point did those families have to begin to look for outside help?‎ ‎35. The passage is written in order to ________.‎ A. reveal the impact on families of caring for mentally ill and disabled relatives B. provide an historical perspective to contemporary debates C. shed light upon whether family ties were weakened or strengthened D. introduce a new historical study carried out by a Cambridge historian 三、 ‎ 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。(共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分)‎ Things only people who have worked overseas can understand If you have ever worked or lived overseas, I’m pretty sure you can understand the following things!‎ We do not automatically become fluent (流利的) in another language.

Only in the past 20 years have specialists in language study realized that signed languages are __41__ —a speech of the hand.

C., the world’s only liberal arts university for deaf people.‎ When Bill Stokoe went to Gallaudet to teach English, the school enrolled him in a course in signing.

At the time, American Sign Language (ASL) was thought to be no more than a form of pidgin English (混杂英语). But Stokoe believed the “hand __49__” his students used looked richer. He wondered: Might deaf people actually have a genuine language? And could that language be __50__ any other on Earth? It was 1955, when even deaf people __51__ their signing as “substandard”(不够标准的）. Stokoe’s idea was academic heresy – a belief contrary to what was generally accepted.‎ It is 37 years later.

A newly married woman who had spent the afternoon at the beach bar, couldn’t find her wallet. She didn’t care about her ID, credit cards, or $‎150 in cash — but her wedding ring was inside.‎ Jim, 42, didn’t like the idea that a theft could have occurred at his place. So he set out to find the wallet. He spent hours checking the video tapes from 16 different surveillance cameras（监控摄像机）, watching the woman’s every step in the bar until she went to sit on a bench outside and left when her ride arrived. Within minutes, a young man approached the bench, quickly put something in his pocket, and walked off. Jim posted a clip on the bar’s Facebook page. “I just asked if anybody knew who the guy was,” Jim said. ‎ Within hours, Jim got a text from 17-year-old Peter. Peter admitted to having taken the wallet and told Jim he’d done it because he hadn’t eaten in two days. He said he saw the ring but thought it was fake, so he took the money and threw the wallet off the public docks into the ocean. Then he bought a sandwich.‎ Jim, unsure whether he believed Peter, told the teen to meet him at the docks. There, they got to talking, and Peter revealed that he wasn’t getting along with his family and had been living in ‎ the woods for a week. Jim, a father of two, looked closely at Peter — his small height, his ruddy cheeks — and saw him for what he was: more of a kid than a criminal.‎ But the risks were high. The police were already on the case, and because of the missing ring, Peter could be facing a serious crime charge. “I had to help him somehow,” Jim says. ‎ The police wanted Jim to bring the teen down to the station. Instead, Jim called the police and told them, “He’s going to be at the docks with me tomorrow.” ‎ Paragraph 1‎ Jim hired two local divers to search the waters where Peter had thrown the wallet. ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ Paragraph 2‎ And then a diver popped up. ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎
