My biggest regret f 2023 was the relatinship t my smartphne. I spent the equal f January, February and March lking at that tiny screen. While sme f that time was necessary fr wrk, r staying cnnected with family, I became glued t it. This habit started t make me feel uneasy.
S, in December, I made a big change. I swapped my expensive iPhne fr a basic flip phne (翻盖手机), which nly cst $108. This decisin was met with disbelief, especially frm my seven-year-ld daughter wh culdn’t understand why I chse such a device. Hwever, I was determined t reduce my screen time and take back cntrl f my life.
Making the switch was neither easy nr fast. I had t adjust t its limited functins and learn t live withut the cnvenience f having everything at my fingertips. There were mments when I felt frustrated, like when I culdn’t use a smartphne app t charge my electric car r navigate withut Ggle Maps. Despite these challenges, I survived, and even prgressed during the mnth.
It was a relief t discnnect my brain frm the internet regularly and fr hurs at a time. I read fur bks. I even did a magic jigsaw puzzle. After tw weeks, I nticed I’d lst my thumb twitch — physical desire t check my phne in the mrning, at red lights, waiting fr an elevatr r at any ther mment when my mind had a brief pprtunity t wander.
“Our health is struggling against many f these services and cmpanies that are cmpeting fr ur time and ur energy and ur attentin,” said Matthew Buman, a prfessr f mvement sciences at Arizna State University. I tld him abut my wn strategy — the flip phne. He said it prbably made my mind feel mre free and feel as if I had mre time (bth true), but that in ur sciety, it’s hard t maintain that in the lng term.
24. What made the authr change her relatinship with her smartphne?
A. Her intentin t wrk harder.B. Her desire t cntact her family.
C. Her decisin t try smething new.D. Her guilt abut veruse f the phne.
25. Hw did the authr’s daughter respnd t the new flip phne?
A. Prud f the wise chice.B. Astnished at the lw price.
C. Cnfused by the unexpected switch.D. Delighted at the new device.
26. What was the benefit the authr nticed after switching t a flip phne?
A Efficiency in navigating.B. Cntrl ver her life.
C. Cnvenience t charge her car.D. Desire t check her phne.
27 Why did Matthew Buman think it difficult t maintain the authr’s strategy in the lng term?
A. The authr might find it hard t discnnect frm the internet.
B. The authr’s health might suffer due t the lack f cnnectivity.
C. The authr might miss the cnvenience f having a smartphne.
D. The authr might struggle t adapt t the limited functins f a flip phne.

Teens have a reputatin fr making sme nt-s-smart decisins and being easily distracted. Researchers have blamed it n the immaturity f the prefrntal crtex(前额叶皮质). But scientists nw find the answer may be the attractin f rewards. Rewards, even small nes, affect teens mre than adults. And teens tend t be distracted by things they nce fund rewarding, even after the actual payff is lng gne.
Psychlgist Zachary Rper and his team wrked with tw grups f vlunteers: 13-t 16-year lds and 20-t 35-year-ld adults. During a training stage, a cmputer displayed six circles, each a different clr. The players had t find the red r green circle and wuld be prvided with a 10-cent r 2-cent reward. By the end f this training, vlunteers had realized the value f each clr but they didn’t knw it. Then came the testing time. Again, grups f six symbls, ne diamnd and five circles, appeared n a cmputer screen. The researchers measured hw lng it tk peple t find the diamnd and recrded their answers.
When n red r green circles appeared, bth adults and teens respnded quickly. But when a red r green circle shwed up, bth grups tk a bit lnger initially. Adults, thugh, quickly stpped paying attentin t the red r green circles. Teens tk lnger t respnd whenever a red r green circle appeared. Clearly, the red and green circles were distracting teens even thugh they brught n reward.
“The study demnstrates that the attentin f adlescents is especially drawn t rewarding infrmatin,” says Zachary Rper. “These data may help explain why teens engage in risky behavirs.”
Sme behavirs, such as texting r using scial media, start the brain’s reward system. Once the teenage brain has linked a behavir t that reward, it cntinues t seek it again and again. That’s why teens are likely t use scial media when they shuld be studying. Or why they respnd t texts while driving. S researchers suggest physically remving distractins whenever pssible.
28. Why d teens tend t make sme nt-s-smart decisins?
A. The appeal f rewards affects their decisin making.
B. Their skills t respnd wisely have nt been well trained.
C. Their prefrntal crtexes have been imprperly develped.
D. The tendency t keep ding things prevents them thinking clearly.
29. What des the underlined wrd “it” refer t in paragraph 2?
A. The red r green circle.B. The end f the training.
C. The value f each clr.D. The awareness f the clr value.
30. What can we learn frm the study cnducted by Zachary Rper and his team?
A Adults were nt affected by the red r green circles at all.
B. Teens were attracted by the red r green circles because f the high rewards.
C. Teens were distracted by the rewarding infrmatin even after the reward was gne.
D. Adults were drawn t the rewarding infrmatin nly after they were tested repeatedly.
31. What can be a suitable title fr the text?
A The Brain Respnse SystemB. The Effects f Rewards
C. The Distracted Teenage BrainD. The Harm f Risky Behavirs
D
Many peple believe it is crucial t have gender equality in the wrkplace. But achieving equality means verturning centuries f scial nrms. Recent research by Oxfrd University suggests that smetimes it is wmen themselves wh are limiting their career pprtunities.
The study surveyed 3,698 students frm 63 schls and clleges acrss the UK . It fund ut that female students tend t chse “wrthwhile” jbs, while male students ften g after jbs that ffer big salaries. Researchers nticed that secndary schl girls said they were mre willing t accept lw-incme jbs like charity wrk r museum psitins, while bys fcused mre n getting high-prestige careers, reprted The Guardian.
“Cmpared with bys, girls are mre cncerned abut each aspect f jb applicatin. They are mre interested in careers that ffer jb security, in a cause they ‘feel gd abut’,” Jnathan Black, directr f the Oxfrd University Careers Service, tld The Telegraph.
China faces a similar gender gap. This mnth, a pll by Chngqing Mrning Pst indicates that female cllege graduates care mre abut their wrking envirnment. As fr male graduates, career prspects are mre imprtant. “This has the knck-n effect that girls may be self-limiting their chice f careers, especially because the types f jbs they seek ften have infrmal entry prcesses, like getting an internship r ding unpaid wrk,” Black said.
32. What kind f jb d girl graduates tend t lk fr?

My biggest regret f 2023 was the relatinship t my smartphne. I spent the equal f January, February and March lking at that tiny screen. While sme f that time was necessary fr wrk, r staying cnnected with family, I became glued t it. This habit started t make me feel uneasy.
S, in December, I made a big change. I swapped my expensive iPhne fr a basic flip phne (翻盖手机), which nly cst $108. This decisin was met with disbelief, especially frm my seven-year-ld daughter wh culdn’t understand why I chse such a device. Hwever, I was determined t reduce my screen time and take back cntrl f my life.
Making the switch was neither easy nr fast. I had t adjust t its limited functins and learn t live withut the cnvenience f having everything at my fingertips. There were mments when I felt frustrated, like when I culdn’t use a smartphne app t charge my electric car r navigate withut Ggle Maps. Despite these challenges, I survived, and even prgressed during the mnth.
It was a relief t discnnect my brain frm the internet regularly and fr hurs at a time. I read fur bks. I even did a magic jigsaw puzzle. After tw weeks, I nticed I’d lst my thumb twitch — physical desire t check my phne in the mrning, at red lights, waiting fr an elevatr r at any ther mment when my mind had a brief pprtunity t wander.
“Our health is struggling against many f these services and cmpanies that are cmpeting fr ur time and ur energy and ur attentin,” said Matthew Buman, a prfessr f mvement sciences at Arizna State University. I tld him abut my wn strategy — the flip phne. He said it prbably made my mind feel mre free and feel as if I had mre time (bth true), but that in ur sciety, it’s hard t maintain that in the lng term.
24. What made the authr change her relatinship with her smartphne?
A. Her intentin t wrk harder.B. Her desire t cntact her family.
C. Her decisin t try smething new.D. Her guilt abut veruse f the phne.
25. Hw did the authr’s daughter respnd t the new flip phne?
A. Prud f the wise chice.B. Astnished at the lw price.
C. Cnfused by the unexpected switch.D. Delighted at the new device.
26. What was the benefit the authr nticed after switching t a flip phne?
A. Efficiency in navigating.B. Cntrl ver her life.
C. Cnvenience t charge her car.D. Desire t check her phne.
27. Why did Matthew Buman think it difficult t maintain the authr’s strategy in the lng term?
A. The authr might find it hard t discnnect frm the internet.
B. The authr’s health might suffer due t the lack f cnnectivity.
C. The authr might miss the cnvenience f having a smartphne.
D. The authr might struggle t adapt t the limited functins f a flip phne.

Teens have a reputatin fr making sme nt-s-smart decisins and being easily distracted. Researchers have blamed it n the immaturity f the prefrntal crtex(前额叶皮质). But scientists nw find the answer may be the attractin f rewards. Rewards, even small nes, affect teens mre than adults. And teens tend t be distracted by things they nce fund rewarding, even after the actual payff is lng gne.
Psychlgist Zachary Rper and his team wrked with tw grups f vlunteers: 13-t 16-year lds and 20-t 35-year-ld adults. During a training stage, a cmputer displayed six circles, each a different clr. The players had t find the red r green circle and wuld be prvided with a 10-cent r 2-cent reward. By the end f this training, vlunteers had realized the value f each clr but they didn’t knw it. Then came the testing time. Again, grups f six symbls, ne diamnd and five circles, appeared n a cmputer screen. The researchers measured hw lng it tk peple t find the diamnd and recrded their answers.
When n red r green circles appeared, bth adults and teens respnded quickly. But when a red r green circle shwed up, bth grups tk a bit lnger initially. Adults, thugh, quickly stpped paying attentin t the red r green circles. Teens tk lnger t respnd whenever a red r green circle appeared. Clearly, the red and green circles were distracting teens even thugh they brught n reward.
“The study demnstrates that the attentin f adlescents is especially drawn t rewarding infrmatin,” says Zachary Rper. “These data may help explain why teens engage in risky behavirs.”
Sme behavirs, such as texting r using scial media, start the brain’s reward system. Once the teenage brain has linked a behavir t that reward, it cntinues t seek it again and again. That’s why teens are likely t use scial media when they shuld be studying. Or why they respnd t texts while driving. S researchers suggest physically remving distractins whenever pssible.
28. Why d teens tend t make sme nt-s-smart decisins?
A. The appeal f rewards affects their decisin making.
B. Their skills t respnd wisely have nt been well trained.
C. Their prefrntal crtexes have been imprperly develped.
D. The tendency t keep ding things prevents them thinking clearly.
29. What des the underlined wrd “it” refer t in paragraph 2?
A. The red r green circle.B. The end f the training.
C The value f each clr.D. The awareness f the clr value.
30. What can we learn frm the study cnducted by Zachary Rper and his team?
A. Adults were nt affected by the red r green circles at all.
B. Teens were attracted by the red r green circles because f the high rewards.
C. Teens were distracted by the rewarding infrmatin even after the reward was gne.
D. Adults were drawn t the rewarding infrmatin nly after they were tested repeatedly.
31. What can be a suitable title fr the text?
A. The Brain Respnse SystemB. The Effects f Rewards
C. The Distracted Teenage BrainD. The Harm f Risky Behavirs
【答案】28. A 29. D 30. C 31. C
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了研究人员进行了一项研究，研究结果显示了奖赏的吸引力会让年轻人看起来容易冲动、容易分心。
【28题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段“Teens have a reputatin fr making sme nt-s-smart decisins and being easily distracted. Researchers have blamed it n the immaturity f the prefrntal crtex(前额叶皮质). But scientists nw find the answer may be the attractin f rewards. Rewards, even small nes, affect teens mre than adults.(青少年以做出一些不那么明智的决定和容易分心而闻名。研究人员将其归咎于前额皮质的不成熟。但科学家们现在发现，答案可能是奖赏的吸引力。奖励，即使是很小的奖励，对青少年的影响也比成年人大。)”可知，青少年倾向于做出一些不那么明智的决定，是因为奖励的吸引力会影响他们的决策。故选A。
【29题详解】
词句猜测题。根据划线词前半句“By the end f this training, vlunteers had realized the value f each clr (在训练结束时，志愿者已经意识到每种颜色的价值)”和转折词but可知，这些志愿者自己并不知道颜色价值的意识。所以it代指前半句中的“The awareness f the clr value( 对颜色价值的意识)”。故选D。
【30题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段“And teens tend t be distracted by things they nce fund rewarding, even after the actual payff is lng gne. (青少年往往会被他们曾经认为有回报的事情分心，即使在实际回报早已不复存在之后。)”和第三段“Clearly, the red and green circles were distracting teens even thugh they brught n reward.(很明显，红色和绿色的圆圈会分散青少年的注意力，尽管它们没有带来任何奖励。)”可知，即使在奖励消失后，青少年也会被奖励信息分散注意力。故选C。
【31题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第一段“Teens have a reputatin fr making sme nt-s-smart decisins and being easily distracted. Researchers have blamed it n the immaturity f the prefrntal crtex(前额叶皮质). But scientists nw find the answer may be the attractin f rewards. (青少年以做出一些不那么明智的决定和容易分心而闻名。研究人员将其归咎于前额皮质的不成熟。但科学家们现在发现，答案可能是奖赏的吸引力。)”及全文可知，文章主要介绍了研究人员进行了一项研究，研究结果显示了奖赏的吸引力会让年轻人看起来容易冲动、容易分心。所以“The Distracted Teenage Brain(分心的青少年大脑)”作为文章标题最为合适。故选C。
D
