In my childhood, my mother spent her evening hours doing something for someone else. Sometimes she knitted(编织) hats for babies, and at other times, she cooked chicken soup for sick neighbors. Therefore, I wasn’t surprised when one evening my mother announced she had undertaken a new project.

“I am going to telephone seniors,” said my mother. “Every night? But you don’t even know these people.” “It doesn’t matter,” she said. “What’s important is that I listen.” I was sixteen years old and couldn’t understand why my mother was willing to spend her evenings talking to strangers. She had friends and my two older sisters to call if she felt lonely. “They will talk your ear off. Some people didn’t even stop to catch breath,” I said.

My attitude didn’t stop my mother’s enthusiasm for the project. That evening, she settled on the sofa and dialed. For a while, I listened as she asked the woman on the other line about her day and what she had eaten for dinner. When she finished the call, I said, “Why do you care whether she had cookies or rice pudding for dessert?” My mother grasped one of my hands and gave it a slight squeeze. “I’m the only person she talked to today.”

It took me more than thirty years to fully understand the meaning of that statement. Now, as my mother is nearing eighty, I find myself thinking about those nightly calls she used to make. I am often the only person who telephones my mother, and sometimes I’m the only person she speaks to all day. I ask her what she cooked for dinner, but mostly I just listen as she describes a walk she took, or how her dog Lucky stole foods from the refrigerator. I realize that my mother’s calls were life lines that ensured housebound seniors remained connected to the world. Without her, their world would have been empty.

4. What is the mother’s purpose of calling the seniors?

A. To care about their life. B. To know what they eat for dinner.

C. To make them feel less lonely. D. To teach them how to make desserts.

5 What does the underlined sentence in Paragraph 2 probably mean?

A. They will talk all the time on the phone.

B. They will blame others’ wrong doings.

C. They will be tired of listening to others.

D. They will make you feel really satisfied.

6. What can be inferred from the last paragraph?

A. The author started to telephone seniors as her mother.

B. The author realized the value of her mother’s efforts.

C. The author’s mother preferred to live alone.

D. The author’s mother remained connected to the world.

7. What is the suitable title for the passage?

A. Call your parents often B. Mother’s evenings

C. Mother’s new project D. Nightly calls, lifeline calls

C

15-year-old Max produced the Vybpro, a wearable wristband which alerts (警告) users whenever they are about to touch their faces. The gesture has been recognized as one of the key ways that COVID-19 can be spread, making it a potentially life-saving invention.

He first hit on the excellent idea two years ago for the purpose of reducing the spread of the cold and flu. After both of Max’s parents were infected with COVID-19 four months ago, however, he put in all his effort to develop a working prototype (模型).

Worn on both wrists, the intelligent device is expected to sell for £89. It uses position-sending technology algorithms (算法) to tell between predicted face touching and other hand motions. Then the device warns users of hand gestures that are dangerously near the face.

“We came up with the concept a few years ago when my family was repeatedly catching cold and flu viruses from traveling in and out of London and I could see how easy it was to pick up germs-especially from using public transport,” said Max. “It was only when the World Health Organization (WHO) began suggesting people avoid touching their eyes, noses and faces to stop the spread of viruses from contaminated surfaces did I realize that it could play a part in slowing the transmission of the coronavirus.”

Max, who is from Bristol, launched a £660,000 crowdfunding (众筹) campaign on Kickstarter earlier this week to further his project and turn the prototype into a public reality. “The main task of this project is not to make money, but to get it onto the wrists of those it can help keep safe. Any profits made from early sales through the crowdfunding site will be reinvested into providing free devices for organizations that help people such as National Health Service (NHS) staff and nursing homes.”

8. Why did Max develop the Vyhpro?

A. To prevent the spread of the cold and flu.

B To protect people against coronavirus.

C. To test position-sending technology.

D. To monitor people’s health.

9. What is Paragraph 4 mainly about?

A. The background of inventing the VybPro.

B. The working principle of the VybPro.

C. The cost of making the VybPro.

D. The role of the WHO.

10. What made Max start the crowdfunding campaign for?

A. Raising money for nursing homes. B. Providing free devices for NHS.

C. Helping to advance his project. D. Making a better type of Vyhpro.

11. What can we learn from Max’s story?

A. Hard work pays off.

B. Technology changes our lives.

C. Ups and downs make one strong.

D. Little people can make a big difference.

D

Lonely? You’re hardly alone. Loneliness was becoming a growing problem for teens, especially girls throughout industrial nations across the globe. That’s the finding of a new study.

The new study linked rising loneliness to a greater use of smartphones and the Internet over the same years. Jean Twenge and her team shared their new findings in the July 20 Journal of Adolescence. Twenge, a psychologist working at San Diego State University in California, and her team have found since 2012, U. S. teens have been spending less time together face-to-face. “Smartphones can help keep us connected with friends,” says Twenge. “But they can also make people feel excluded.” Girls, especially, may feel this way. Studies have shown that girls may feel like an outcast if the photos and selfies they post don’t get a lot of “likes”.

And then there’s “phubbing”, a mixture of “phone” and “snubbing”. It’s a moment in which a friend or family member takes out a phone and stares at it, ignoring everybody else, including you. Phubbing is one way tech can affect you, even when you’re not the one using it.

The fact that so many more were reporting loneliness is a worrisome trend. Could technology really be behind that? “In general, I tend to think of technology as one piece of a broader puzzle contributing to loneliness,” says Amanda Lenhart, a researcher who studies how technology affects people’s lives at the Data & Society Research Institute.

If technology leads to loneliness, should we stop using it? “No, not at all,” argues Twenge. “Everybody of all ages is trying to figure out how we can best use these technologies and stay mentally healthy.” Her favorite bit of advice is to “use your smartphone for what it’s good for. Then put it away”. That includes putting it away overnight—ideally in another room.

12. What does the underlined word “excluded” in Paragraph 2 mean?

A. Left out. B. Content. C. Taken in. D. Confident.

13. What kind of person does “phubbing” refer to?

A. Being abused on the Internet. B. Being affected by technology.

C. Mixing words to create new ones. D. Ignoring someone in favor of a phone.

14 What advice does Twenge give about the use of the telephone?

A. Reducing its use. B. Banning it thoroughly.

C. Using it appropriately. D. Never using it overnight.

15. Where is the text probably taken from?

A. A personal diary. B. A questionnaire survey.

C. A science magazine. D. A science fiction.

第二节(共5小题;每小题2.5分,满分12.5分)

阅读下面短文,从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。

Do you usually feel you’re working hard but still can’t reach your study goals? Here are some quick tips to help you study better.

◆ Study with a partner or in groups

Rather than living in a cave with your nose in the books all day, grab a friend from your class and study with him. ___16___ Actively engaging the information with someone else not only helps you to learn, but makes studying more enjoyable.

◆ Step into your teacher’s shoes

Ask yourself “If I were the teacher, what would I put on the test?” ___17___ Learn from them for the next test. Remember, teachers don’t expect you to memorize every single detail, just the ones they feel are important. It’s your job to figure out what that is.

◆ Paint bigger pictures

___18___ It’s harder to remember each piece of a puzzle individually than it is to recall the completed picture.

Try this exercise: memorize these numbers in order 6...2...9...1...3...8...4...0...5.

Now try to memorize these numbers 629....138....405

The bottom is easier right? It is the same order of numbers, but put into the context of bigger numbers. Creating context gives information meaning and also turns learning into an experience rather than simple absorption.

◆ ___19___

A hungry brain is an ineffective one. Your brain needs the proper nutrients to keep it going. Because of this, what you eat and drink also plays a huge role in how sharp your brain is. Healthy foods provide nutrients to your brain cells to keep them energized.

◆ Take breaks to relax your brain

Your brain is like a muscle. ___20___ But it can also tire if you overwork it. If you divide studying into 15 to 30 minutes blocks with quick breaks in between, your brain will feel refreshed, grateful and ready for the next challenge you throw at it.

A. Feed your brain.

B. It needs exercise to make it stronger.

C. Relax your brain by eating and drinking.

D. If in doubt, by all means, ask your teachers.

E. You have probably experienced a lot of tests and quizzes by now.

F. Find ways to connect what you are learning to real life or to other concepts.

G. Group studying helps you to engage and process the information more deeply.
