28、There’re lots of articles in which writers like me leave social media and report on how their lives have transformed. I swore I wouldn’t add to it. But here I am, writing about it. And I’m doing so because it didn’t change my life in quite the way that I expected or many of these essays promised it would.
I genuinely enjoyed Twitter. The problem was that I loved it a little too much. I’d find myself checking it when I should be working, running late to my daughters’ school events because I tried to fit in a quick glance or staying up far too late surfing vast oceans of information, tired and barely interested but unable to resist it.
In November, my friends encouraged me to drop my Twitter habit, at least for a little while. My life was overfull, and this was something I could cut out. I followed, though hesitantly and with a little bit of unwillingness, because I trust my friends and their wisdom.
I went from being on it nearly every day to being off it for two months now. Being offline didn’t make my life that joyful. But there is one way that leaving Twitter has benefited my life and my mind. The times when I checked Twitter were often the transition points in my day: when I waited in line or to pick up my kids from school. Freeing up those seemingly inconsequential moments has been transformative. These moments are nothing I really considered before and I even didn’t notice their departure when I began going online. Leaving them unfilled has changed how I walk through time. I may wave to a neighbor; I may feel gratitude or delight. I may notice that I feel tired or lonely. But this, too, is part of the gifts of these small moments.
Our days, which are so full of work and thinking, of disappointments and confusion, must have moments when nothing much is happening, moments when we get no input, no videos, no opinions.
【1】What do we know about the author?
A．The author’s life was disturbed by the overuse of Twitter.
B．The author followed the friends’ advice without hestitation.
C．The author shared the same idea with other writers about Twitter.
D．The author’s interest in the information online drove him to check Twitter.
【2】What does the underlined word “inconsequential” in paragraph 4 probably mean?
A．Unforgettable.
B．Unimportant.
C．Tough.
D．Boring.
【3】What’s the author’s purpose of writing the text?
A．To persuade readers to block Twitter.
B．To show the influence of social media.
C．To share an unexpected benefit of staying offline.
D．To raise doubts about the promised effects of being offline.
【4】What might be the best title for the text?
A．Free up Small Moments
B．No Twitter, No Trouble
C．Take a Moment to Reflect
D．Small Changes, Big Differences
29、The behaviour of a building's users may be at least as important as its design when it comes to energy use, according to new research from the UK Energy Research Centre (UKERC). The UK promises to reduce its carbon emissions (排放)by 80 percent by 2050, part of which will be achieved by all new homes being zero carbon by 2016. But this report shows that sustainable building design on its own—though extremely important—is not enough to achieve such reductions: the behaviour of the people using the building has to change too.
The study suggests that the ways that people use and live in their homes have been largely ignored by existing efforts to improve energy efficiency (效率)，which instead focus on architectural and technological developments.
“Technology is going to assist but it is not going to do everything，”explains Katy Janda, a UKERC senior researcher，“consumption patterns of building users can defeat the most careful design.” In other words，old habits die hard, even in the best designed eco home.
Another part of the problem is information. Households and bill payers don't have the knowledge they need to change their energy use habits. Without specific information，it's hard to estimate the costs and benefits of making different choices. Feedback (反馈) facilities, like smart meters and energy monitors，could help bridge this information gap by helping people see how changing their behaviour directly affects their energy use; some studies have shown that households can achieve up to 15 percent energy savings using smart meters.
Social science research has added a further dimension (方面)，suggesting that individuals' behaviour in the home can be personal and cannot be predicted—whether people throw open their windows rather than turn down the thermostat (恒温器) , for example.
Janda argues that education is the key. She calls for a focused programme to teach people about buildings and their own behaviour in them.
【1】As to energy use, the new research from UKERC stresses the importance of ________.
A. zero carbon homes
B. the behaviour of building users
C. sustainable building design
D. the reduction of carbon emissions
【2】The underlined word “which” in Paragraph 2 refers to“________”．
A. the ways B. their homes
C. developments D. existing efforts
【3】What are Katy Janda's words mainly about?
A. The importance of changing building users' habits.
B. The necessity of making a careful building design.
C. The variety of consumption patterns of building users.
D. The role of technology in improving energy efficiency.
【4】The information gap in energy use________.
A. can be bridged by feedback facilities
B. affects the study on energy monitors
C. brings about problems for smart meters
D. will be caused by building users' old habits
30、I first heard about several cases of coronavirus in January, 2020. But I did not ______ the outbreak to have such a sudden and powerful effect on the rest of the world.

Electronic devices have been training me to constantly stare at a blinking（闪烁）screen and ____ what I was doing. I decided to solve a puzzle while ______ devices for several hours, and enjoy one simple task like a little child.

31、Directions: Complete the following passage by using the words in the box. Each word can only be used once. Note that there is one word more than you need.
In a society, such as the United States or Canada, which has many national, religious and cultural differences, people 【1】 value individualism--the differences among people. Teachers place a lot of importance on the 【2】 that make each student special. The educational systems in these countries show these values. Students do not memorize information. Instead, they work 【3】 and find answers by themselves.There is often discussion in the classroom. At an early age, students learn to form their own ideas and opinions.
In most Asia societies, on the contrary, the people have the same language, history and culture. Perhaps for this reason, the educational system in much of the Orient 【4】 society’s belief in group goals and purposes rather than individualism. Children in China, Japan and Korea often work together and help one another on assignments. In the classroom, the teaching 【5】 are often very formal. The teacher lectures, and the students listen. There is not much discussion. Instead, the students recite rules or information that have memorized.
There are advantages and disadvantages to both of these 【6】 of education. For example, one advantage to the system in Japan is that students there learn much more math and science than American students by the end of high school. They also study more hours each day and more days each year than North Americans do. The system is difficult, but it 【7】students for a society that values discipline and self-control. There is, however, a disadvantage. Memorization is an 【8】 learning method in Japanese schools, yet many students say that after an exam, they forget much of the information they have memorized.
The advantage of the educational system in North America, on the other hand, is that students learn to think for themselves. The system prepares them for a society that values 【9】 ideas. There is, however, a disadvantage. When students graduate from school, they haven’t 【10】 as many basic rules and facts as students in other countries have.
