21、Our culture has changed greatly as a result of the smartphone. We can get reassurance for every doubt by texting our friends or feel approval by getting “likes” on our social media. But heavy dependence on devices is responsible for a shift in how we regulate our emotions. A by-product of this instant communication is a decreased ability to sit with uncertainty.
Intolerance to uncertainty tends to cause a range of psychological difficulties. Psychologists consider a person’s over-dependence on their phones as a “safety seeking behaviour” which reduces anxiety in the moment. But over time, safety behaviours actually feed anxiety because they prevent people from realizing their fear has no basis once the situation has actually unfolded, or that it is something they’re able to deal with.
Learning to face uncertainty is essential to managing our mental health. Being more comfortable with uncertainty improves a person’s ability to deal with worry and is closely associated with improvement for those experiencing anxiety. When treating anxiety, psychologists encourage clients (客户) to sit without knowing the outcome of a particular situation and wait to see if what they are afraid of will happen. They gradually learn to let go of trying to control situations and realizes they can survive the uncertainty.
Using phones to push the worry onto another person prevents self-management from occurring. Often, we don’t realize that after a little while the unpleasant feeling will go away. Keep in mind the old saying that “no news is good news” and resist the tendency to message first. If something unpleasant happens, it is healthy to talk to someone and reflect on a situation that upsets us, especially if it is really important. However, to have this as the first option to manage every doubt is not healthy. Being able to wait and let go of the desire to control each situation is a major key to overcoming anxiety.
【1】What might be a consequence of relying on electronic devices too much?
A．Getting “likes” more easily.
B．Being able to sit attentively.
C．Sending text messages rarely.
D．Having trouble controling feelings.
【2】Why do the phone addicts feel anxious?
A．They realize their fear has no basis.
B．Their physical security is threatened.
C．They fail to judge the reality correctly.
D．Their safety isn’t guaranteed in the real world.
【3】What are the clients asked to do to treat anxiety?
A．Learn to face uncertainty.
B．Pay attention to the worries.
C．Keep in touch with psychologists.
D．Consider the outcome of a situation.
【4】What is the author’s advice to remove anxiety?
A．Wait and see.
B．Talk to someone.
C．Take control of it.
D．Let go of the past.
22、The ocean is full of lessons. 【1】
If you are able to spend time at a beach in summer and go for a swim, you'll find yourself facing a number of choices when waves arrive. Challenges are often described as coming in "waves". 【2】 How do you handle waves? You could try one of these possible responses:
【3】 Waves will eventually crash. and it's just what they do. Show your inner strength by standing right in that moment, steeling yourself to resist the impact. Feel how much your legs and muscles offer support with each passing wave, no matter how powerful it is. You can't control the sea, but you can place yourself strongly within it.
Get knocked over—and come up laughing. I've taught my 9-year-old son the same beach safety rule my mother taught me: If you get knocked over by a wave, find the sandy bottom with your feet so you can push off and break through the water's surface. Thus you can experience the joy of getting knocked down and finding your way back up again. 【4】
Ride the waves. When swimming in deep water, face what's coming and reflect on what's behind. When you turn landward and ride the waves toward the shore, that same sort of waves that may have knocked you down, or that you steeled yourself against, can now carry you forward. 【5】 So set aside the resistance and accept the help of each wave as it comes.
A．Stand up to the crashing surf
B．Waves will carry you to where you want to go
C．Yet what I appreciate is how it benefits mankind.
D．So the options reflect our decision-making powers in life.
E．Of course, you have to go swimming when the sea is still.
F．Among the most important, for me, are those from waves.
G．You may also realize that you can handle something a little stronger than you.
23、Twenty-one years ago, Eric Moussambani became the first swimmer from Equatorial Guinea, one of the smallest countries on the African. continent, to compete in the Olympics. He recorded the slowest men's 100m freestyle ever in the Olympics, swimming so slowly that he almost drowned, but he left a deep impression on the audience.
As Moussambani prepared for Sydney, he conducted most of his training in a hotel pool, which was only 13 meters long and fell far short of Olympic level. He spent time in rivers and lakes. Moreover, his coaching came from fishermen, who tried to adjust Moussambani's arm and leg movements to prevent sinking
Upon his arrival in Sydney, Moussambani was struck by the sights of the foreign city and the size of the Olympic Village. But Moussambani was overwhelmed by the Olympic pool, which was surrounded by seating for 17,500 audience. "When I saw the swimming pool for the first time, I was so scared. The pool was so big for me," he said.
Of three swimmers, the other two swimmers were disqualified for starting the race too early, leaving a frightened Moussambani as the only man in his race. Although he maintained a consistent speed during the opening section, he couldn't be in a harmonious breathing pattern. In the final half of the race, he struggled to stay afloat so much that those on the sidelines（两侧场外区域）considered jumping in and helping him out of the water. Finally, Moussambani touched the wall, stopping the clock in 1：52：72.
Of course, there was no medal awarded to Moussambani. But he was treated as a celebrity for his inspiring swim. "The most important thing in the Olympic Games is not winning, but taking part. The essential thing in life is not conquering, but fighting well." The description fits Moussambani perfectly. Anyone can be inspired by what Moussambani achieved because we've all been where he was. On his own, out of his depth, and just trying to stay afloat.
【1】What can we know about Moussambani?
A．He was the first swimmer from Africa.
B．He practiced in standard swimming pools.
C．He set the slowest. time in men's 100m freestyle
D．He accepted training from professional coaches.
【2】What does the underlined word "overwhelmed" in Paragraph 3 probably mean?
A．Amazed.
B．Excited
C．Embarrassed
D．Disappointed.
【3】Why did people consider helping him out of the water?
A．He broke the rules.

【4】Which of the following best describes Moussambani?
A．Caring and humorous.
B．Aggressive and demanding.

D．Persevering and determined.
24、A primary school in UK has banned Valentine’s Day cards because of concerns that young pupils spend too much time talking about boyfriends and girlfriends.
Ashcombe Primary School in Weston Super Mare，Somerset，has told parents that cards declaring love can be“confusing” for children under the age of 11，who are still emotionally and socially developing. In this month’s newsletter(通讯)，Peter Turner，the head teacher，warned that any cards found in school would be confiscated(没收)．He wrote：“We do not wish to see any Valentine’s Day cards in school this year. Some children and parents encourage a lot of talk about boyfriends and girlfriends. We believe that such ideas should wait until children are mature enough emotionally and socially to understand the commitment involved in having or being a boyfriend or girlfriend.”Mr.Turner said any families wanting to support the Valentine’s Day idea should send cards in the post or deliver them to home addresses by hand.
His views were endorsed by Ruth Rice,46，who has twins Harriet and Olivia at the school. She said，“Children at that age shouldn’t really be thinking about Valentine’s Day，they should be concentrating on their schoolwork.”They are at an age when they are impressionable(易受影响的)and most parents including myself are with Mr.Turner. “She added that the cards cause” too much competition. If someone gets a card and another doesn’t，then someone will be disappointed.
However，Rajeev Takyar,40，who has two children Jai,11，and Aryan，five，at the school，said he was “outraged”．He said，“There are schools that have banned conkers(栗子游戏)and snowballs，and now Valentine’s Cards.”I think banning the cards stops children from having social skills. How are they going to learn about relationships otherwise？It’s ridiculous. Alec Suttenwood，father of three children，said of the ban：“It’s totally ridiculous. Young children just send the cards to each other as friends and to their parents. It’s just a bit of harmless fun. There is no difference between this and Mother’s or Father’s Day.”
【1】Which of the following is the best title?
A．Ban on Valentine’s Day cards at school is well received.
B．Ban on Valentine’s Day cards at school causes argument.
C．British children spend too much time talking about love.
D．A British high school bans Valentine’s Day cards.
【2】The underlined word “endorsed” means________.
A．criticized
B．quoted
C．disapproved
D．approved
【3】What do you know about Harriet and Olivia?
A．They will send Valentine’s Day cards this year.
B．They are strongly against the school’s decision.
C．They are of the same age.
D．They are the children of Rajeev Takyar.
【4】According to Rajeev Takyar，________.
A．sending Valentine’s Day cards helps develop children’s social skills
B．banning Valentine’s Day cards will benefit children
C．the cards cause too much competition among children

26、阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
Living in the shadow of my two elder sisters at college who already had their lives planned out since they were little, I was always undecided about everything. As a teenager, I was fickle (反复无常的). I would like one thing for a week and then hate it the next. But I was constantly searching for the beginning of the rainbow. Changing my dream from a vet to an astronaut, I thought there were various options available to me. However, my parents would shake their heads and repeatedly asked me such questions as, “Why can’t you be more like your sisters? What are you going to do with your life? Aren’t you interested in anything at all?” After a couple of shrugs (耸肩), my parents usually stopped talking. I was not sure if they gave up or anticipated my dull reactions. I often responded, “I couldn’t answer all of your questions now.”
Actually, my parents just had high expectations that never seemed to be fulfilled. Plus, like other parents, they just wanted to give the best to me and expected me to achieve success. The arguments with my parents seemed childish. One day, my mother made her thoughts clear, “Your grades aren’t high enough. No schools are going to want you, dear. We didn’t pay so much money for nothing.” Hesitating for a while, I said, “No matter what you say, I believe I will enter a good college.” Still, I let my emotions control myself.
Certainly, I had never planned not to go to college. After another debate with my mom, I decided to make a change. No longer would I sit back and let my parents mistake me for a bad boy. It was time to take action.
I knew it was a crucial year at high school. Releasing my feelings, I began to collect all the knowledge I had learned and review it with all my heart. I didn’t argue with my parents any more, but instead turned to my sisters for help and tried my best to study. Finally, I took the national college entrance examination with ease and confidence.
