We never know when we will do something greater.But it usually happens when we least expect it.When John Kinney turned up at Gloria Scott’s house in Woburn,Massachusetts,he thought he was there to repair the 72-year-old woman’s lights.

John decided to take action.Even though he couldn’t rebuild her whole house,he could make it safe and livable for her.He worked on Gloria’s home by himself for free before getting some friends and volunteers involved.But there were so many repairs needed,so he looked for more help online,with a simple description of the situation:“Nice old lady needs help.” In just 24 hours,$3,500 was already raised.And he also had loads of volunteers turning up to lend a helping hand.
While this all has been going on,Gloria has enjoyed watching the process and getting to know the volunteers.She’s been here by herself for over 10 years,so it’s a big change for her.She’s so happy and has got all types of new friends.She’s out here making lunch for these kind volunteers,laughing and joking.It’s just a miracle to witness.Meanwhile,John’s whole family have formed a special bond with the 72-year-old woman.Even all the repairs done,John continues visiting.“She reminds me of my grandmother,” he said.“It doesn’t stop here.Gloria is a part of my life.”

You know the feeling—you have left your phone at home and feel anxious,as if you have lost your connection to the world.“Nomophobia” (无手机恐惧症) affects teenagers and adults alike.You can even do an online test to see if you have it.Last week,researchers from Hong Kong warned that nomophobia is infecting everyone.Their study found that people who use their phones to store,share and access personal memories suffer most.When users were asked to describe how they felt about their phones,words such as “hurt” (neck pain was often reported) and “alone” predicted higher levels of nomophobia.
“The findings of our study suggest that users regard smartphones as their extended selves and get attached to the devices,” said Dr Kim Ki Joon.“People experience feelings of anxiety and unpleasantness when separated from their phones.” Meanwhile,an American study shows that smartphone separation can lead to an increase in heart rate and blood pressure.
So can being without your phone really give you separation anxiety Professor Mark Griffiths,psychologist and director of the International Gaming Research Unit at Nottingham Trent University,says it is what is on the phone that counts—the social networking that creates Fomo (fear of missing out).
“We are talking about an Internet-connected device that allows people to deal with lots of aspects of their lives,” says Griffiths.“You would have to surgically remove a phone from a teenager because their whole life is ingrained in this device.”
Griffiths thinks attachment theory,where we develop emotional dependency on the phone because it holds details of our lives,is a small part of nomophobia.For “screenagers”,it is Fomo that creates the most separation anxiety.If they can’t see what’s happening on Snapchat or Instagram,they become panic-stricken about not knowing what’s going on socially.“But they adapt very quickly if you take them on holiday and there’s no Internet,” says Griffiths.
28.Which of the following may Dr Kim Ki Joon agree with
A.We waste too much time on phones.
B.Phones have become part of some users.
C.Addiction to phones makes memories suffer.
D.Phones and blood pressure are closely linked.
29.According to Griffiths,we get nomophobia because 　　　.
A.we worry we may miss out what our friends are doing
B.we fear without phones we will run into a lot of trouble
C.we are accustomed to having a phone on us
D.we need our phones to help us store information
30.Which of the following phrases has the closest meaning to the underlined phrase “ingrained in” in paragraph 4
A.Approved of.　　　 B.Relied on.
C.Opposed to. D.Determined by.
31.Where can you probably find the above passage
A.In a research report.
B.In a science textbook.
C.In a popular science magazine.
D.In a fashion brochure.
D
Australian experts have expressed concerns that too many millennials (千禧一代) are hoping to use their social media accounts to build their careers.
Their concerns follow the sudden rise in “Insta-celebrities” who make money by posting sponsored (赞助的) photos online.For the lucky few who are not only talented photographers but also good-looking and business-savvy (有商业头脑的),making money on social media isn’t impossible.
Instagram is flooded with social media professionals paid to promote products and services.However,social scientist Lauren Rosewarne,from the University of Melbourne,says that in reality,there are far fewer people making money on the platforms than one may think.
She said many young Australians were getting sucked in by the appeal of making money on platforms like Instagram,describing it as “totally unrealistic” and extremely difficult to do.
“Young people are hoping to be famous in numbers that were simply not there 20 years ago,” Rosewarne told the Australian Broadcasting Corporation (ABC) on Saturday.“There are some people who can make fortunes out of monetising (使具有货币性质) their Instagram posts,but that is not the norm.”
She said it was up to parents and schools to discourage students from seeking Insta-fame,as many believe it is a possible career choice.“There’s the warning for parents; this is not a normal or even common occurrence that you can monetise your Instagram account.”
Meanwhile Toni Eager from Australian National University said social problems could arise from spending too much time on social media.
“Where do the Insta-celebrities go to separate the life people see on Instagram from their actual normal life ” Eager said.“All of a sudden,people own your private life.”
32.Why is there a rise in “Insta-celebrities”
A.Many young people are good at taking photos.
B.Many people see it as a shortcut to making money.
C.People want to socialise by sharing photos online.
D.Instagram offers a reliable career choice for millennials.
33.What does the underlined phrase “getting sucked in” in paragraph 4 probably mean
A.Becoming involved in.
B.Benefiting from.
C.Taking advantage of.
D.Being satisfied with.
34.What message does the author convey by quoting Lauren Rosewarne
A.Young people today are more business-savvy than ever.
B.Young people are becoming less interested in Internet fame.
C.Instagram is not a good platform to promote new products.
D.It’s a bad idea for young people to try earning money on Instagram.
35.What problem does Toni Eager think overuse of social media could cause
A.An over-reliance on Instagram.
B.Inability to appreciate life.
C.A loss of personal privacy.
D.An addiction to the virtual life online.

　39　 “My best friend Helen and I are going on 32 years,and we never call out the other person on being an absentee friend,” shares Angela Randall.“Life happens and when you are in different places and going through different things,just pick up where you both are.”
　40　 “It’s said that technology is destroying relationships,but there are few things as nice as being connected with your best friends since elementary school by an ongoing group text,” says Lauren Schwwartz Gamsey.“We are busy working moms across seven cities in three states,and we can still share everyday thoughts,big news,and silly stories as if we had never moved away from each other.”

第二节(满分25分)
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。
Our family was Christmas shopping in a large department store,when our nine-year-old son,Bradley,shouted,“Money!” Rolled up with a rubber band(橡皮带) was a large amount of cash,apparently dropped unknowingly by its owner.
He was excited,but my husband told him,“Someone else is very sad about losing this money.”
I added,“Yes,and the person who lost it may be wildly looking for it now.”
Then we asked,“How would you feel had you lost the money ”
“I think I’d be sad and maybe even sick to my stomach,” he admitted.
I asked,“Do you think you should keep the money or turn it in to the manager ”
It wasn’t an easy decision.He frowned(皱眉),“Turn it in.”
“But,Mom,what if no one ever comes to claim it ” he asked.
We explained it to the lady at Lost and Found.“Do you think if the money isn’t claimed it could be given to our son who found it ” I asked.
The lady had watched Bradley struggle with changing his mind and readily agreed.
We left his name and address and she wrote a quick note.Then using the rubber band she attached the note to the money and placed it in a lock-box.
Two years later a letter came to Bradley from that store,saying they had found a roll of money in their vault(金库) with Bradley’s name and address on it.Attached to the letter was a check made out to Bradley with a note from the manager.
Dear Bradley,
I admire you so much for making such a grown-up decision at age nine.I remember your struggle and know it wasn’t easy.It took a person of strong character to turn in that money.Many adults would struggle with such a decision.The money was never claimed so I am pleased to honour your request.The money is now yours!
It would be a wonderful story if it ended right here,but there’s more.
注意:续写词数应为150左右。
Twenty years later Bradley was out of job.Worse still,his new-born son,Nathan,suffered a serious disease and was in ICU.




He walked over the nurses’ desk,put all the coins on the counter,and said,“This isn’t my money.”

Welcome to the Daily Health Club at the Silver Inn.Today,I want to speak about the importance of our daily diet.Now,I’m sure you all take great care of your health by doing regular exercise,because I don’t see a single overweight person in the audience,and it looks like that some of you just came from the gym.But how many of you are aware of the influence of what we eat and drink on our health And how many of you are in the habit of having an energy drink,or eating an energy bar after a workout and between meals Well,the problem is,these energy foods are often filled with added sugar,which can cause serious damage to our bodies.More and more studies and research show that,sugar consumption increases the risk of many diseases,such as overweight,heart disease,and even some cancers.Yet it is still not easy to find sugar-free foods on the supermarket shelves today.So,take a look at your diet and try your best to remove everything that has added sugar in it.

第二节
Twenty years later Bradley was out of job.Worse still,his new-born son,Nathan,suffered a serious disease and was in ICU. Bradley left the ICU and went to the nearby convenient store to get some food.On his way back,he noticed a vending machine selling toys.A brown Teddy Bear caught his eye.He put his coins in and made his selection.Just then coins began to pour out.Surprised at his good luck,he collected the coins and was just about to count them when he remembered his childhood experience.He knew what to do.
He walked over the nurses’ desk,put all the coins on the counter,and said,“This isn’t my money.” He told the nurse how he got the coins and asked her to help return the coins to the vendor.The wide-eyed nurse was astonished.“Are you sure you don’t want to keep this Most people would.” Bradley smiled,“I don’t know how much money is here...but I’m certain that my reward will be much greater by far.” He was correct.Little Nathan survived and recovered.And now he is healthy and happy in the kindergarten.
