第一节、阅读理解
A
Do you ever pull your phone out of your pocket, thinking it is vibrating (振动), only to find that it isn't
This phenomenon, which scientists call “phantom (幻觉的) phone vibration”, is very common. Around 80% of people surveyed say they have imagined their phones vibrating when they were actually still.
So, what leads to this universal behavior According to the BBC, the explanation lies in your brain's ability to discover signals from the outside world.
When your phone is in your pocket, there are two possible states: It is either vibrating or not. Meanwhile, you also have two possible states of mind: the judgment that the phone is ⅵbrating, or that it isn't. Ideally, you match the four states correctly. However, sometimes your brain decides that the consequences of missing a call are more serious than a “false alarm”. Therefore, you become more sensitive to vibrations so that you don't miss anything.
This is just like the fire alarm in your home—it can be annoying when it goes off in response to just a tiny bit of smoke. But that's a small price to pay compared to a fire really breaking out because the alarm fails to alert you. Now, you might still ask, why can't our brains just make every judgment correctly without being too sensitive to false signals The answer is that your brain bears a heavy burden every day. “You get a large amount of sensory information that's coining from your eyes, ears and skin, and you can't deal with all that information all the time,” Michael Rothberg, a researcher at Baystate Medical Center in Springfield, US, told Live Science.
For example, the rustling (沙沙声) of clothing or the growling (咕咕声)you’re your stomach may both lead your brain to believe that they come from the vibration of your phone—it is like trying to hear your name being called in a noisy room.
So, perhaps you should just check your phone whenever you think it’s vibrating, lt isn’t too much trouble to do that, is it
1. According to this passage, phantom phone vibration ________.
A. is common among people with mental problems
B. helps our brains to make decisions quickly and accurately
C. can measure people's ability to collect information
D. happens when our brains react too sensitively
2. Why did the author use the example of fire alarm in this passage
A. To show us the fire alarm is as sensitive as the phone vibration.
B. To tell us the phone vibration usually happens when a fire breaks out.
C. To help us understand the cause of phantom phone vibration better.
D. To convince us it’s important to check our phones like checking a fire alarm.
3. According to Michael Rothberg, which mainly accounts for phantom phone vibration
A. A lack of much attention. B. An overflow of sensory information.
C. A noisy background. D. A heavy burden every day.
4. What does the author suggest we do about phantom phone vibration
A. We should always fully believe our own sense of hearing.
B. We should think of the vibration carefully before we make correct judgments.
C. We should ignore the vibration bothering when our phones are actually still.
D. We should just check our phones when we think they're vibrating.

Traditionally, across the world, boys and girls attend a mixed school, where they study together. But boys’ schools are the perfect place to teach young men to express their emotions and involve them in activities such as art, dance and music.
Boys at single—sex schools were said to be more likely to get involved in cultural and artistic activities that helped develop their emotional expressiveness, rather than feeling they had to correspond to（和……相符）the “boy code” of hiding their emotions to be a “real man”.
The findings of the study go against received wisdom that boys do better when taught alongside girls.
Tony Little, headmaster of Eton, warmed that boys were being failed by the British education system because it had become too focused on girls. He criticized teachers for failing to recognize that boys are actually more emotional than girls.
The research argued that boys often perform badly in mixed schools because they become discouraged when girls do better earlier in speaking and reading skills.
But in single-sex schools teachers can tailor lessons to boys’ learning style, letting them move around the classroom and getting them to compete in teams to prevent boredom, wrote the study’s author, Abigail James, of the University of Virginia.
Teachers could encourage boys to enjoy reading and writing with “boy-focused” approaches such as themes and characters that appeal to them. Because boys generally have more acute vision, learn best through touch, and are physically more active, they need to be given “hands-on” lessons where they are allowed to walk around. “Boys in mixed schools view classical music as feminine（女性的）and prefer the modern genre（类型）in which violence and sexism are major themes,” James wrote.
Single—sex education also made it less likely that boys would feel that they had to be “masterful and in charge” in relationships. “In mixed schools, boys feel forced to act like men before they understand themselves well enough to know what that means,” the study reported.
5. The author believes that a single-sex school would ________.
A. force boys to hide their emotions to be “real men”
B. help boys to be more competitive in schools
C. naturally strengthen boys traditional image of a man
D. encourage boys to express their emotions more freely
6. It is commonly believed that in a mixed school boys ________.
A. perform relatively better B. grow up more healthily
C. behave more responsibly D. receive a better education
7. According to Abigail James, one of the advantages of single—sex schools is that ________.
A. boys can focus on their lessons without being distracted
B. teaching can be tailored to suit the characteristics of boys
C. boys can choose to learn whatever they are interested in
D. teaching can be designed to promote boys' team spirit
8. What does the underlined word “acute” in Paragraph 7 mean
A. lovely B. dull C. serious. D. sharp.

Eden Gross wants kids to know that they're not alone when they feel afraid. “I get fearful sometimes,” said the Florida fourth-grader, who has often been drawn to dark stories. At age 8, Eden started writing songs to deal with her fears. Last month, she released (发行) her first song, “Shadows on the Wall.” It's for kids everywhere who have problems with mental (精神的) health. The point of the song is that the fears “aren't reality,” said Eden, now 10. “I am bigger than these fears.”
Eden began writing “Shadows on the Wall” in 2019 after attending the Throga Retreat, a youth singing program about two hours from her home in Parkland. There, she met Johnny Cummings, a New York-based singer, songwriter, and producer. After the program, the pair worked together each week through Skype. They finished “Shadows on the Wall” and a second song, “The Last Kid on Earth,” which centers on the idea that although each person is different, we all feel alone sometimes.
Eden wants more grown-ups to understand the influence of COVID-19 on children. “They're used to running around, playing with their friends. Getting used to new realities was really hard,” Eden said.
Eden and her twin brother, Jordan, recently marked one year of distance learning (远程学习). It was unusual at first. They weren't getting used to it and missed their days in school. “The Internet has become our whole world,” said Eden. “Technology has become our new way of connecting.”
One lesson from COVID-19, said Eden, is to “find a way to do what you love and be who you are, no matter the environment.” For Eden, that means spending time with the family's pet, Ollie, and continuing to follow her dream of music and writing. She's busy with her third song, “The Voices.” “It's about judging ( 评价) yourself in your head when you say, ‘I'm not good enough,’” she said. “And then realizing, ‘I am good enough. I am good enough for me.’ ”
12. Why did Eden Gross start to write songs at age 8
A. To tell people how to deal with their fears.
B. To give herself the courage to deal with fears.
C. To call on grown-ups to care about kids.
D. To ask kids to face reality bravely.
13. What encouraged Eden Gross to write “Shadows on the Wall”
A. The experience of attending a program.
B. Her sadness about being alone.
C. Her dream of being a singer.
D. The spread of COVID-19.
14. How did Eden Gross feel about distance learning at first
A. It was satisfying. B. It was strange.
C. It was boring. D. It was useful.
15. What is Eden Gross's next plan
A. Finishing her third song. B. Staying with her family.
C. Going to music school. D. Keeping a pet.
