27、“Nomophobia”, NO Mobile Phone phobia(恐惧) is a 21st-century term for the fear of not being able to use your smartphone. Smartphone addiction is on the rise, surveys show, and a new study released adds to a growing body of evidence that smartphone addiction is harming our minds literally.
Smartphone addiction affects many people from all across the globe. Over 1.8 billion people own smartphones and the average owners check their screens 150 times a day. Considering those numbers, it shouldn’t come as a surprise when 44% of people (compared with 20% in 2011) admit feeling anxious when they can’t have access to their phones.
Researchers from Harvard University used brain imaging to study the brains of 19 teenage boys who were diagnosed with smartphone addiction. Compared with 19 teenagers who were not addicted, the brains of the addicted boys had significantly higher levels of GABA, which decelerates neurons (神经元)， than levels of glutamate-glutamine, which energizes brain signals. That results in poorer attention and control, which you don’t want to have, because you want to stay focused. So that means you are easier to get distracted.
“Addicted teenagers in the study also had significantly higher scores in anxiety, depression and levels of impulsiveness (冲动) ,” said Dr. Leslie Perlow, who led the study.
If you seem to have the symptoms of smart device addiction, experts have some suggestions in addition to mindfulness training. First, turn off your phone at certain times of the day, such as in meetings, when having dinner, playing with your kids, and of course, driving. Remove social media apps, like Facebook and Twitter from your phone, and only check-in from your laptop. Try to stop yourself to 15-minute intervals at set times of the day when it won’t affect work or family life. Don’t bring your cellphone and its harmful blue light to bed, and use an old-fashioned alarm to wake you. And last, try to replace your smart device time with healthier activities such as meditating or actually interacting with real people.
【1】What is the conclusion of the research?
A．Smartphone addiction leads to distraction.
B．Smartphone addiction easily causes anger.
C．Smartphone addiction is harmful to the mind.
D．Smartphone addiction brings about anxiety and depression.
【2】Where can you find the data that best supports smartphone addiction is on the rise?
A．In Paragraph 2.
B．In Paragraph 3.
C．In Paragraph 4.
D．In Paragraph 5.
【3】Which of the following can replace the underlined word “decelerates” in Paragraph 3?
A．Speeds up.
B．Slows down.
C．Adds to.
D．Cuts down.
【4】Which of the suggestions is encouraged according to the text?
A．To use an old-fashion cellphone.
B．To participate in more social activities.
C．To stop fifteen-minute intervals.
D．To turn off the blue light on bed.
28、Being a teenager can be difficult, since you're dealing with higher expectations and the process of finding your place in the world. 【1】 The following are things you can do to achieve that!
【2】 Everyone is different in their teenage years. Some teens prefer to spend time with friends, while others prefer to study and work; some prefer to be quiet wallflowers, while others are loud. Saying that there's only one way to enjoy your teenage years is wrong.

Work on your work ethic（职业道德）.What you accomplish in your teen years may determine your opportunities in your adulthood, so dedicate some time to studying and do your best. Learn how to prioritize, whether it's with school work, or any extracurricular activities. Boost your studying skills.【4】
Keep good relations with your family as much as possible.【5】 It's the building blocks for ail relationships you develop, whether they're friendships, romantic relationships, or a family you choose to have later on in life.

29、 Nowadays with the development of technology， people have gradually relied on the mobile phones seriously.Many people， especially the younger generation， like to use social media to connect with others. However， everyone is ignoring an important point- face-to-face communication between people is missing.
Social media is all about connecting with others. But a new study suggests that too much social media use leads to disconnection and loneliness. The study finds that heavy use of platforms such as Facebook， Snapchat， and Instagram is associated with feelings of isolation among young adults.
Brian Primack and his team in the study surveyed that 1，787 U.S. adults aged 19to 32 and asked them about their usage of 11 social media platforms. Surprisingly，people that spend more time on social media feel lonelier than others.
Tom Kersting， a psychotherapist， said“Although people think being on social media all the time makes them‘connected’ to others， they are actually‘disconnected，’because the more time one spends behind a screen， the less time one spends face-to-face.”Kersting continued. “They are spending a lot of time looking at everyone else’s posts， where they are， where they are going and what they are doing.The constant connection to everyone else’s‘perfect’life experiences causes feelings of being left out， and of being lonely.”
So what’s the answer?“It’s simple，” says Kersting—although it does involve a significant amount of willpower.“The solution to this is refusing the addiction to look at everyone else’s life.Just focus on your own life， where you’re going， what you are grateful for， and what you want to achieve in this world. Then go out and do it， andstop wasting so much time comparing.”

B. Young people rely too much on mobile phones.

【3】According to Kersting， how to prevent people feeling left out and lonely?
A. Learn to improve one's willpower.
B. Cut down the time spent on social activities.
C. Share one's own perfect life instead of viewing others'.
D. Concentrate on one's own life rather than anyone else's.
【4】What's the best title for the text?

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.
Scientists have proved what students have long suspected: Maths equations can actually trigger physical pain.
Regions of the brain linked with the experience of physical 【1】 were activated in those fearful of maths when they were presented with a tough equation, researchers have found. The higher a person’s anxiety of a maths task, the more it 【2】 activity in regions of their brain associated with visceral (内脏的) threat detection, and often the experience of pain itself.
However, the researchers say their study examines the pain response associated with anticipating an anxiety-provoking event, rather than the pain associated with a 【3】 event itself. A maths task itself is not painful but 【4】 the thought of it is highly unpleasant to certain people.
“Maths can be difficult, and for those with high levels of mathematics-anxiety (HMAs), math is associated with tension, apprehension (忧虑) and fear,” the researchers said in their paper titled. When Math Hurts. “【5】, this relation was not seen during math performance, 【6】 that it is not that math itself hurts, rather, the anticipation of math is painful. These results may also provide a potential neural mechanism to explain why (people with) HMAs tend to 【7】 math and math-related situations, which in turn can bias (使有偏见) (those with) high levels of mathematics-anxiety away from taking math classes or even entire math-related 【8】 paths. We provide the first neural 【9】 indicating the nature of the subjective experience of math-anxiety.
Other forms of psychological stress, such as social 【10】 or a traumatic break-up, can also elicit feeling of physical pain.”
32、阅读以下文章，并撰写文章的概要。
The famous classical pianist, Kong Xiangdong, surprised his fans last week by giving a concert combining classical music with Chinese folk music. Kong explained that he tried this because he wanted to create something new." As a musician, playing the same music in different cities of the world is very boring, "says Kong. He also feels that playing Chinese folk music on the piano can help bring it to the rest of the world.
Music has always been part of Kong's world. As his mother was a great music lover, he lived with music from birth. But it wasn't always easy for the young Kong Xiangdong. His mother couldn't buy him a piano until he was seven. She had to draw piano keys on a piece of paper so that he could learn to play as early as possible. The 5-year-old Kong would practice on the paper piano as his mother clapped the rhythm. He was made to practice the piano so much that, at times, he thought about giving up. However, he didn't quit, and he became a great pianist. In 1986,at the age of 18,he became the youngest prize winner in Moscow's Tchaikovsky International Competition. He went on to win awards in competitions across the world.
Because of Kong's talent and hard work, he became famous worldwide. But after years of performing, he felt that in some ways he had lost his identity. This is why he went back to his roots and rediscovered the beauty in Chinese folk music. He began experimenting with different styles and his Dream Tour Concert is the result.
Kong's new experiment in Chinese folk music is so important to him that he even changed his appearance. When he arrived at his concert last week, he had shaved off all his hair! Since his music style was new, he decided his hairstyle had to be new too!
Whether Kong is changing his appearance or transforming his music, he is a pioneer in music today. The concert last week was such a success that Kong's Dream Tour Concert is expected to run for the next two years in Beijing, Shanghai, and other main cities before going to Paris and New York.
