21、 Indonesian university student Tyas Sisianindita spends about eight hours a day on her phone. That time includes watching videos, chatting with friends and using social media. "At night, when I can't sleep, I can use my phone for up to five hours," she said, noting she checks her phone countless times from morning until night. She even checks it while in class.
Tyas goes to the University of Indonesia, where a team of students recently developed a device meant to fight phone addiction. The students spent three months creating the device, which can help internet users like Tyas diminish time they spend looking at their phones.
Inventor Irfan Budi Satria led the development team. The device is called “Nettox", which combines the words “internet" and "detox (排毒)". Users wear it on their arm. The device has a sensor that measures hemoglobin (红蛋白) oxygen levels and changes to the heart rate called HRV. Studies have found that using a mobile phone for long hours can lower HRV levels. The Nettox device makes a sound when HRV and blood oxygen levels fall, which reminds wearers to stop using their phones.
For people between the ages of 18 and 25, the HRV should stay above 60. At a recent trial, Tyas' HRV reading was 44.
Internet addiction is a growing social issue in Indonesia. In October, two teenagers were treated for their addiction to internet gaming, media reported.
Irfan Budi Satria's team is working to improve Nettox's accuracy. HRV readings can change depending on whether the user is a man or woman, and what their body shape and health conditions are.
The team aims to get a patent for their invention with the university by next year. Irfan says Nettox is for people already trying to change their behavior. "Our goal is to help people who want to free themselves from internet addiction," he said.
【1】What can we learn about Tyas from Paragraph1?
A.She often sleeps late.
B.She often skips classes.
C.She is addicted to phones.
D.She is skilled in the media.
【2】Which word may replace the underlined word “diminish" in Paragraph 2?
A.Kill.
B.Treasure.
C.Record.
D.Reduce.
【3】What does Paragraph 3 mainly talk about?
A.How the device works.
B.Where Nettox is from.
C.When users wear the device.
D.Why hemoglobin changes with HRV.
【4】What is the team focusing on now according to the text?
A.Applying for a patent.

22、With fashion magazines, advertisements and teenage icons sporting the “latest and greatest” trend, there’s a lot of pressure on teenagers to fit the mold. For decades, teenage and adolescents have used fashion as a social weapon. Bullies will pick out peers that aren’t wearing the best brands of clothing and criticize them.
Dr. Jensen, a professor at Western Illinois University, says there are some tell-tale signs that your child might be a victim of fashion bullying. They’ll become picky about what clothes they wear and will be very demanding when you take them shopping.
Dr. Mary Bousted, the general secretary of The Association of Teachers and Lecturers said, “Bully of this kind can be insidious (阴险的), and it can just be a look that a child is given. Advertising and marketing have made our society increasingly image-conscious and our children are suffering the consequences. Schools should be places where all children feel equal, but it is virtually impossible for schools to protect their pupils from the tough aspects of these commercial influences.” Andy Cranham, a teacher at City of Bristol College said, “The need to belong in groups is paramount to young learners and exclusion is something they see as the end of the world.”
What Not to Wear, a popular television show, features fashion bullying as entertainment. Each week Stacy and Clinton make fun of a fashion victim, criticizing her appearance, and both verbally and literally laughing at her wardrobe.
I think beauty is probably at the base of fashion, and the problem comes when so called “stylish” people start defining beauty in a way that excludes other people. Why wait for a trend in order to wear something in its wake? If you’re able to wear something with confidence, YOU will be the one starting a trend.
【1】In which way is fashion used as a social weapon according to Para. 1?
A.The best brands of clothing gains popularity.
B.Teenagers suffer a lot to fit the fashion mold.
C.Peers not wearing the best brand will be attacked.
D.Teens protect themselves by wearing the best trend.
【2】Which of the following may Dr Mary Bousted agree?
A.All students are equally treated at schools.
B.It’s alright for the society to be image-conscious.
C.Children are well protected from commercial influences.
D.Advertising and marketing are to blame for fashion anxiety.
【3】What does “paramount” in para. 3 mean?
A.Compulsory.
B.Important.
C.Luxurious.
D.Fashionable.
【4】What’s the author’s idea about fashion and beauty?
A.Confidence is beauty.
B.Fashion is entertainment.
C.Beauty is based on fashion.
D.Beauty is excluding some people.
23、 Rats and other animals need to be highly tuned to social signals from others so that can identify friends to cooperate with and enemies to avoid. To find out if this extends to non-living beings, Loleh Quinn at the University of California, San Diego, and her colleagues tested whether rats can detect social signals form robotic rats.
They housed eight adult rats with two types of robotic rat—one social and one asocial (不爱社交的)—for 5 our days. The robotic rats resembled a bigger version of a computer mouse with wheels to move around and colorful markings.
During the experiment, the social robot rat followed the living rats around, played with the same toys, and opened caged doors to let trapped rats escape. Meanwhile, the asocial robot simply moved forwards and backwards and side to side.
Next, the researchers trapped the robots in cages and gave the rats the opportunity to release them by pressing a button. Across 18 trials each, the living rats were 52 percent more likely on average to set the social robot free than the asocial one. This suggests that the rats perceived the social robot as a genuine social being. They may have bonded more with the social robot, because it displayed behaviours like communal (共同的) exploring and playing. “This could lead to the rats better remembering having freed it earlier, and wanting the robot to return the favour when they get trapped,” says Quinn.
The readiness of the rats to befriend the social robot was surprising given its plain design. The finding shows how sensitive rats are to social signals, even when they come from basic robots. Similarly, children tend to treat robots as if they are fellow beings, even when they display simple social signals. “We humans seem to be fascinated by robots, and it turns out other animals are too,” says Wiles.
【1】Quin and her colleagues conducted a test to see if rats can ________.
A.pick up social signals from non-living rats
B.distinguish friends from enemies
C.learn sociable skills through training
D.send out warning messages to their fellows
【2】What did the social robot do during the experiment?
A.It followed the asocial robot.
B.It made friends with toys.
C.It set the trapped rats free.
D.It moved around alone.
【3】Why did the rats release the social robot according to Quinn?
A.They tried to practice a means of escape.
B.They expected it to do the same in return.
C.They wanted to display their intelligence
D.They considered it an interesting game.
【4】What can we learn from the text?
A.Rats are highly adaptable to new surroundings.
B.Rats are more socially active than other animals.
C.Rats behave differently from children in socializing.
D.Rats are more sensitive to social signals than expected.

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。
In late December, the cow path near our house in Tennessee was still covered with leaves, but I knew snow would be falling soon enough. My younger brother, Buddy Earl, and I were on an important mission: Go to Uncle Tommie’s place and get a goose(鹅). The hiking over Little Mountain and getting there would be worth it. Uncle Tommie raised the best geese around, and he’d offered to give us one for Christmas dinner.
Uncle Tommie met us at the door. “I’m not rushing you boys,” he said, “but as light snow started, you’d better get the goose and head home.” It didn’t take me long to pick up a goose from his yard. Buddy and I said a quick thank you and goodbye. The snow came down harder, wind blowing every way.
“I’m as cold as ice. How about you?” asked Buddy.
I tapped the goose’s head. “I wish we had feathers to keep us warm like you,” I said. “Or heavier coats.”
“Doug, I’m freezing,” Buddy said. I could hardly hear him over the wind and my own chattering teeth. “I think we should go back.” The idea was attractive, but we were closer to home than to Uncle Tommie’s house. We had to push on.
I held the goose closer to my chest. The bird was the only warm thing about me. I stepped in front of my brother. “Buddy, open your coat!” “Are you crazy?” He asked. “I’ll lose the little warmth I have.” When he saw I was serious, he slowly unzipped (拉开……的拉链) his coat and opened it. I placed the warm goose inside his coat and zipped it back up. “Make sure you keep the goose’s head out so it can breathe.” Buddy sighed happily. My plan was working.
注意:1. 续写词数应为 150 左右;
2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
“Doug, it is time for you to open your coat. ”
