Studies estimate that we pick up our smartphones between 58 and 96 times a day. If my phone is by my side, then I’m constantly checking it. Last year, I decided to make a change: I signed up for the Phone Breakup Challenge. The goal isn’t to get rid of your phone, but to develop a more intentional way of using it.
The first few days were easy enough. Before unlocking my phone, I must answer three questions first: “What for? Why now? What else?” I kept the questions on my lock screen. On Day 7, I had lunch without my phone for company. It was pleasant. I realized that, by always having my phone on hand, I was preventing myself from sitting still with my thoughts.
One of the biggest lessons of the challenge was that willpower wasn’t enough, but having multiple barriers to make it less appealing and accessible did help. Day 20 was the long awaited 24-hour no-phone period. It was much easier not to check my phone when it was totally off instead of in another room. I noticed that a feeling of calm had spread within me.
It’s true that phones are fun and filled with my favorite people. There’s nothing wrong with mindless distraction. The problem is when that becomes a habit. Not constantly checking my phone helped reduce that annoying habit of texting and talking at the same time or pulling out my phone when being with someone I love hanging out with.
Now, I am pleased to see I really do use my phone less. When I get home, I leave my phone in my bag by the door instead of bringing it from room to room. I now also enjoy activities that I used to run out of time for, like going for neighborhood walks or trying new recipes.
4. Why did the author take part in the Phone Breakup Challenge?
A. To lead a life without using a phone. B. To improve her phone-using habit.
C. To do research about the use of phones. D. To distract herself from social media.
5. What can we learn about the author’s first few days of the challenge?
A. She had a hard time ignoring her phone.
B. She turned her phone off to avoid using it.
C. She locked her phone with a new password
D. She enjoyed keeping her phone away.
6. What is a better way to keep away from our phones?
A. Make it hard to access it. B. Find fun from other activities.
C. Ask others for supervision. D. Build strong self-confidence.
7 What message does the author convey in the text?
A. Mindless distraction is a part of our lives.
B. Reducing screen time is not so difficult.
C. Spending less time on our phone is beneficial.
D. Technology makes it hard for us to concentrate.
【答案】4. B 5. D 6. A 7. C

Around the world, rivers seem to be raging. While catastrophic flooding of Pakistan’s rivers has left tens of millions without homes, a drought unseen for 500 years has squeezed Europe’s major waterways almost dry. There is little disagreement about what’s going on: climate change is causing both rainfall and droughts to intensify. The question now is how to manage those climate-changed waterways and, specifically, what role dams should play in fighting against the kinds of disasters.
Advocates say water storage dams will become more essential to mitigate extreme water flows by absorbing water during flooding and releasing it in times of drought. Dams, they say, can help combat climate change by producing renewable hydropower (水力发电) that is cleaner than fossil fuel energy.
However, criticisms have long centered on the negative impact most dams have on biodiversity and river ecosystems. Not only do the vast amounts of concrete used to build large dams leave huge carbon footprints, there is also much evidence that greenhouse gas emissions from dams are often far greater than previously thought. Increasingly a scientific case is also being made that dams actually worsen both floods and droughts.
Now, more dam developers are turning to “run-of-river” technology, in which the river’s water flows continuously through a hydropower station without a reservoir (水库) to store it. Such projects are generally considered more environmentally friendly, but they do not allow for water to be managed according to weather conditions.
Then there are those who say we should stay away from dams, and look for ways using nature-based solutions. Many ecologists say that protecting wetlands, for example, should be a priority, since those ecosystems act as natural (海绵) for floodwaters within a river basin. “We have turned river basins into economic machines that only serve people and not nature, and this creates more problems, like droughts and flooding.” says Herman Wanningen, the founder of the advocacy group Dam Removal Europe. “We have to learn to cooperate with nature and not against it anymore.”
8. What does the underlined word “mitigate” refer to in prara2?
A. Ease. B. Motivate. C. Block. D. Store.
9. Why do critics oppose the construction of dams?
A. It needs a large amount of concrete. B. It destroys local ecosystem.
C. It may produce negetive effect. D. It gives off harmful gases.
10. What can we infer from the last paragraph?
A. Dams have long lost their storage function.
B. The starting point of our solution should serve nature.
C. Flooding and droughts can help promote economy.
D. Protecting wetland is a once-and-for-all solution.
11. What’s the best title for the text?
A. Dams’ Traditional Role: Pros and Cons.
B. Disaster Relief: Working with Nature.
C. Building More Dams: A Way Out?
D. Worsening Climate Change: Take Action!
【答案】8. A 9. C 10. B 11. C
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文，气候变化正在导致降雨和干旱加剧，文章主要讨论建造大坝是否是解决这类灾害的出路。
【8题详解】
词句猜测题。根据下文“ by absorbing water during flooding and releasing it in times of drought.(通过在洪水期间吸收水分，在干旱时释放水分。)”可推断，支持者表示，蓄水大坝通过在洪水期间吸收水分，在干旱时释放水分对于缓解极端水流是更加必不可少的，划线词与A项意思相近，故选A。
【9题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段中“However, criticisms have long centered on the negative impact most dams have on biodiversity and river ecosystems.Not only do the vast amounts of concrete used to build large dams leave huge carbon footprints, there is also much evidence that greenhouse gas emissions from dams are often far greater than previously thought. Increasingly a scientific case is also being made that dams actually worsen both floods and droughts.(然而，长期以来，批评都集中在大多数大坝对生物多样性和河流生态系统的负面影响上。建造大型水坝所用的大量混凝土不仅会留下巨大的碳足迹，而且有大量证据表明，大坝排放的温室气体往往远远超过人们之前的想象。越来越多的科学案例表明，大坝实际上会加剧洪水和干旱。)”可知，批评者反对建造大坝是因为它可能会产生相反的效果。故选C。
【10题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段中“We have turned river basins into economic machines that only serve people and not nature, and this creates more problems, like droughts and flooding(我们把河流流域变成了只服务于人类而不是自然的经济机器，这造成了更多的问题，比如干旱和洪水)”及“We have to learn to cooperate with nature and not against it anymore.(我们必须学会与自然合作，而不是对抗它)”可知，我们解决方案的出发点应该是为自然服务。故选B。
【11题详解】
主旨大意题。根据全文内容，结合第一段中“The question now is how to manage those climate-changed waterways and, specifically, what role dams should play in fighting against the kinds of disasters.(现在的问题是如何管理这些受气候变化影响的水道，特别是大坝在减轻这类灾害方面应该发挥什么作用)”可知，气候变化正在导致降雨和干旱加剧，文章主要讨论建造大坝是否是解决这类灾害的出路，故C项“建造更多大坝：这是一条出路吗？”适合作为文章标题。故选C。
D
Professors at the University of California San Diego have developed microrobots, which can be a potential treatment for life-threatening cases of bacterial pneumonia, a serious disease affecting lungs and making breathing difficult. In mice, the microrobots safely removed pneumonia-causing bacteria in the lungs and resulted in 100% survival while untreated mice all died within three days after infection.
The microrobots are made of algae (藻类) cells whose surfaces are covered with substances that are filled with antibiotics (抗生素). The algae provides movement, which allows the microrobots to swim around and make antibiotics go directly to more bacteria in the lungs, helping absorb bacteria and clear them of infected cells. This give the microrobots the ability to reduce bacterial infection, which in turn makes them more effective at fighting lung infection.
The work is a joint effort by engineering professors Joseph and Zhang Liangfang. Together, they have pioneered the development of tiny drug-delivering robots that can be safely used in live animals to treat bacterial infections in the stomach and blood. Treating bacterial lung infection is the latest in their line of work.
“In the traditional treatment, sometimes only a very small number of antibiotics will get into the lungs. That’s why many current antibiotic treatments for pneumonia don’t work as well as needed,” said Victor Nizet, a co-worker of Joseph and Zhang “Based on these mouse data, we see that the microrobots could potentially improve the use of antibiotics to kill bacteria and save more patients’ lives.”
The work is still at the proof-of-concept stage. The team plans to do more basic research to understand exactly how the microrobots interact with the immune system (免疫系统). Next steps also include studies to confirm the effectiveness of the microrobot treatment before testing it in larger animals and eventually, in humans. “We’re pushing the boundary further in the field of targeted drug delivery,” said Zhang.
12. How do microrobots work?
A. By doing targeted drug delivery.
B By interacting with antibiotic-filled matter.
C. By producing algae cells in lungs.
D. By separating harmful cells from healthy ones.
13. What is Victor Nizet’s attitude towards the invention?
A. Doubtful. B. Subjective. C. Cautious. D. Favorable.
14. What does the team expect of the microrobots?
A. They’ll inspire a new line of research.
B. They’ll help strengthen the immune system.
C. They’ll have a wider range of application.
D. They’ll be a further proof of their concept.
15. What is the text mainly about?
A. A scientific invention treating deadly cancers.
B. Tiny swimming robots helping treat pneumonia.
C. A major breakthrough made in antibiotic research.
D. Microrobots employed in the engineering field.
【答案】12. A 13. D 14. C 15. B
【解析】

【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“The microrobots are made of algae (藻类) cells whose surfaces are covered with substances that are filled with antibiotics (抗生素). The algae provides movement, which allows the microrobots to swim around and make antibiotics go directly to more bacteria in the lungs, helping absorb bacteria and clear them of infected cells. (微型机器人是由藻类细胞制成的，藻类细胞的表面覆盖着充满抗生素的物质。藻类提供运动，使微型机器人可以四处游动，使抗生素直接作用于肺部的更多细菌，帮助吸收细菌并清除受感染的细胞。)”以及最后一段““We’re pushing the boundary further in the field of targeted drug delivery,” said Zhang.”（“我们正在进一步推动靶向药物递送领域的边界，”张说。）可知，微型机器人可以把抗生素直接输送到细菌那里，也就是说微型机器人是通过靶向给药的方式来起作用的。故选A。
【13题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段““In the traditional treatment, sometimes only a very small number of antibiotics will get into the lungs. That’s why many current antibiotic treatments for pneumonia don’t work as well as needed,” said Victor Nizet, a co-worker of Joseph and Zhang “Based on these mouse data, we see that the microrobots could potentially improve the use of antibiotics to kill bacteria and save more patients’ lives.”(“在传统治疗中，有时只有非常少量的抗生素会进入肺部。这就是为什么目前许多抗生素治疗肺炎的效果不如预期，”约瑟夫和张的同事维克多·尼泽特说，“基于这些小鼠身上的数据，我们看到微型机器人有可能改善抗生素的使用，杀死细菌，挽救更多病人的生命。”)”可推断，他对微型机器人持肯定的态度。故选D。
【14题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“The work is still at the proof-of-concept stage. The team plans to do more basic research to understand exactly how the microrobots interact with the immune system (免疫系统). Next steps also include studies to confirm the effectiveness of the microrobot treatment before testing it in larger animals and eventually, in humans. “We’re pushing the boundary further in the field of targeted drug delivery,” said Zhang. (这项工作仍处于概念验证阶段。该团队计划进行更多的基础研究，以确切了解微型机器人如何与免疫系统相互作用。下一步的研究还包括确认微型机器人治疗的有效性，然后在更大的动物身上进行测试，最终在人类身上进行测试。“我们正在进一步推动靶向药物递送领域的边界，”张说。)”可知，该团队希望微型机器人能有更广泛的用途。故选C。
【15题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第一段“Professors at the University of California San Diego have developed microrobots, which can be a potential treatment for life-threatening cases of bacterial pneumonia, a serious disease affecting lungs and making breathing difficult. (加州大学圣地亚哥分校的教授们开发出了微型机器人，它们可能成为威胁生命的细菌性肺炎病例的潜在治疗方法。细菌性肺炎是一种影响肺部并使呼吸困难的严重疾病。)”及全文可知，文章主要介绍了一种由藻类细胞制成的微型机器人，这种机器人可以在肺中四处游动并直接把抗生素输送至细菌那里，从而达到消除肺部感染的目的，它可能会成为威胁生命的细菌性肺炎的潜在治疗方法。故选B。

【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了中国文化中的石狮。
【41题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意：石狮是用石头雕刻而成的，是中国传统建筑中常见的装饰品，如寺庙、桥梁、园林等。句中先行词为Stone lion，在非限定性定语从句中作主语，所以用关系代词which引导。故填which。
【42题详解】
考查名词。句意：狮子在中国象征着安全和幸运。根据并列连词and后名词luck可知，用名词形式在宾语。故填safety。
【43题详解】
考查时态和语态。句意：据说狮子是汉代从西域传入中国的。根据时间状语in Han Dynasty可知，用一般过去时。主语the lion为单数，与introduce之间为被动关系，所以用被动语态。故填was introduced。
【44题详解】
考查冠词。句意：在中国文化中，狮子是一个神话人物，而不是真正的动物。名词figure为可数名词，泛指，且mythical发音为辅音音素开头，所以用不定冠词a。故填a。
【45题详解】
考查介词。句意：另一种说法是人们为什么把石狮当作看门人，这与石狮的汉语发音有关。take...as…把……当作……。故填as。
【46题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意：“Shi”在汉语中发音像“石”，意思是固体，第二个“Shi”指的是狮子，发音类似于“思”，意思是“思考”。句中已有谓语动词，所以用非谓语动词形式。名词the second ‘Shi’与refer之间为主动关系，所以用现在分词形式。故填referring。
【47题详解】
考查名词的数。句意：石狮具有明显的地方特色。名词feature为可数名词，前无冠词，泛指，所以用复数形式。故填features。
【48题详解】
考查比较级。句意：南方的狮子比北方的狮子更生动，有许多雕塑。根据介词than可知，用形容词的比较级形式。故填more vivid。
【49题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意：石狮子是根据一种建筑装饰雕刻而成的，这种装饰经常被用作体面建筑的基础。be based on根据，在句中作状语，所以用过去分词形式。故填based。
【50题详解】
考查副词。句意：一般来说，根据中国传统的阴阳哲学，石狮的位置是雌性在右边，雄性在左边。修饰整个句子，用副词形式作状语。故填Generally。

This afternoon, our handcraft club held a lanternmaking activity, which a famous folk artist invited to teach us how to make lanterns by hand. He first told us the history and origin of lanterns, and the various materials formed them. After that, he showed us the basic step and skills of lantern making. Then came the time for me to have a try. With the guidance of the artist, all of us finished our works successful.
Through this activity, not only had I improved my handcraft skills, but I have also deepened my understanding of the symbolic meanings of lanterns. I’ve come to realize that our Chinese lantern figures are so popular the worldwide.
【答案】1.which→where
2.invited前加was
3.formed→forming
4.step→steps
5.me→us
6.With→Under
7.successful→successfully
8.had→have
9.that→why
10.去掉the
【解析】
【导语】本文是记叙文。作者讲述了自己参加学校手工俱乐部举办的活动的过程和感受。
【详解】1.考查定语从句。句意：今天下午，我们的手工俱乐部举办了一场灯笼制作活动，一位著名的民间艺术家被邀请教我们如何手工制作灯笼。分析句子可知，“a famous folk artist invited to teach us how to make lanterns by hand”是非限制性定语从句，先行词activity，从句中作抽象地点状语，用关系副词where，故将which改为where。
2.考查动词时态语态。句意同上。invited与主语artist是被动关系，文章讲述过去发生的事情用一般过去时，主语a famous folk artist是第三人称单数，用一般过去时的被动语态，故invited前加was。
3.考查非谓语动词。句意：他首先给我们讲了灯笼的历史和起源，以及形成灯笼的各种材料。分析句子可知，form作定语，修饰materials，二者之间是主动关系，用现在分词作形式作定语，故将formed改为forming。
4.考查名词。句意：之后，他向我们展示了制作灯笼的基本步骤和技巧。step是可数名词，根据句意用复数，故将step改为steps。
5.考查代词。句意：然后到了我们尝试的时候了。根据前后文的us可知，此处用复数us表示“我们”，故将me改为us。
6.考查介词。句意：在艺术家的指导下，我们都成功地完成了自己的作品。Under the guidance of“在……指导下”是固定短语，故将With改为Under。
7.考查副词。句意同上。修饰动词finished用副词作状语，故将successful改为successfully。
8.考查动词时态，句意：通过这次活动，我不仅提高了我的手工技能，而且还加深了我对灯笼的象征意义的理解。根据语境和下文的have deepened可知，用现在完成时，主语是I，not only置句首用部分倒装，故将had改为have。
9.考查宾语从句。句意：我开始意识到我们的中国灯笼形象在世界上如此受欢迎的原因。Realize后接宾语从句，根据句意用why“……的原因”引导宾语从句，故将that改为why。
10.考查副词。句意同上。worldwide“在世界各地”是副词，无需加冠词the，故去掉the。
