A
What makes smartphones fun and useful There are many apps that you can use for work and play. Check out some of them here.
Dawn Chorus ― Android/ios There’s something beautiful about waking up to the sounds of nature. The app Dawn Chorus brings the sound of nature to your mornings. You can start your day with the sweet sounds of birds.
Vocabulary ― ios If you are looking to improve your English language skills, Vocabulary has something to offer. Vocabulary.com is more than just a dictionary. It also has a word learning system, which helps you to learn words through a fun game.
Prisma ― Android/ios Are you a fan of art Here’s an app created just for you. Prisma is a photo-editing app unlike any other. The photo filters (滤镜) on the app can make your pictures look like works of art. Let your imagination go wild!
Productive ― ios There is some truth to the saying “old habits die hard”. But what about new habits Sometimes new habits are just as difficult to start up and keep. If you’re having trouble trying to get into a new habit, then Productive might help you.
26．How many apps can you get on Android according to the passage
A．One. B．Two. C．Three. D．Four.
27．If you want to make your photos look better, which app will you choose
A．Dawn Chorus. B．Vocabulary. C．Prisma. D．Productive.

①Have you ever heard that groundhogs can predict（预测）the end of winter How about that elephants never forget things Or that dogs can smell the strange That may not be 100% true. However, many animals do have stronger senses than humans.
②Do animals have a sixth sense that can tell the future That may sound out of this world. However, many events seem to support this idea.
③Thousands of years ago, a big earthquake hit Helike, Greece. Buildings were in ruins. Many people were hurt. But there was something interesting. The city’s animals acted strangely days before the earthquake. Rats and snakes ran from the city in groups. Did they know an earthquake was coming In 1975, one million people had to leave their hometown, Haicheng, Liaoning Province with the help of Chinese government. Why They believed a disaster（灾难）was coming. They thought this, in part, because of animals’ strange behaviours. Just days later, a large earthquake hit the city. Experts（专家）said 150, 000 could have lost their lives if people stayed in the city at that time. In December 2004, the animals of Sri Lanka were acting strange. Elephants ran around. Dogs wouldn’t go outside. Zoo animals wouldn’t leave their home. Soon after people saw these strange behaviours, a tsunami hit the island.
④Animals seem to be pretty good at predicting disasters. But it doesn’t stop there! Some of them even seem to sense small changes in the weather before they happen. Bees are known to find places before it rains. Dairy farmers say they can tell a big storm is coming when their cows lie down. Cats and dogs are also said to know when a storm is on its way, as are birds and turtles. Can animals really tell the future
⑤Experts say it’s unlikely that animals can tell the future. However, they might hear or feel the earthquake before people do. Even though scientists have not proved animals have the ability to predict disasters before they happen and animals’ predictions aren’t always right, it’s not bad to pay attention to the animals.
29．According to the passage, we know many animals ________.
A．can tell the future in different ways B．have better sense abilities than humans
C．act strangely after some natural disasters D．use the sixth sense to predict earthquakes

C．How Do Animals Save People’s Life D．What Are Animals’ Ways to Tell the Future

Nowadays, mobile phones take up most of our time. We look at our mobile phones as we’re walking, play with them as we’re studying, and don’t want to put them down as we go to bed.
The Internet Development Research Institution (机构) of Peking University says over half of internet users say they want to get away from the internet and stay away from mobile phones. However, it is a very tall order especially now in China because we use our phones to pay for everything we bought every day.
There’s a new app (软件) which has a function (功能) to help users manage the time. For example, users can see how many times they’ve unlocked their phones, how many times they’ve checked their social media apps, and how much time they spend on each app every day. After seeing this information, the users will make some changes.
With the App Timer (计时) function, users can set a time limit (限制) for how long they can use each app for every day. After they’ve reached the limit, they won’t be able to use the app until the next day. And with another function, the app gets incoming calls silent when the user puts the phone face down.
But if people truly want to make full use of their free time instead of losing hours on their phones, it will not need to depend on any apps.
After all, who needs to use an app to stop you from using other apps The easiest answer would be just to use your willpower (毅力).
33．What does the underlined phrase “tall order” in Paragraph 2 mean
A．long list B．important thing C．difficult thing D．easy purpose
34．Which of the followings is NOT included in the new app’s functions
A．It stops the users from using willpower.
B．It checks how much time the users spend on apps.
C．It lists the times the users have unlocked the phone.
D．It shows the times the users have checked social media apps.
35．How can the users get incoming calls silent with the help of the app
A．Turn off the phone. B．Turn down the sound.
C．Put up the phone. D．Put the phone face down.
36．What is the writer’s purpose of the passage
A．To tell us the functions of a new app.
B．The easiest way to stop us from using mobile phones is our willpower.
C．Mobile phones take up most of our free time.
D．You need to depend on some apps if you manage your free time.
D
Are You Distracted(注意力分散的) by Technology
According to Daily Mail, people spend 8 hours and 41 minutes on electronic devices(电子设备) on average every day. There is no doubt that people are getting more dependent on technology as time goes by. The only question is: Are you too distracted by it
Well, technology can be a distraction only when people fail to use it responsibly. When a responsible person uses cellphones, tablets(平板电脑), laptops and other devices, technology has brought many positive effects to the daily life.
For starters, technology has greatly increased the efficiency of our daily life. We use computers to shop, code, buy tickets, and do many other things. We can check our emails from any place. It makes us keep in touch with family and friends without any trouble.
Technology also serves as a useful tool to get information. It can help us find out almost every piece of information we need. A survey by Pew Research Center showed that 62% of smartphone owners in the U.S. have used their devices to find information about health conditions; 57% relied on their phones to do online banking; and 30% of them have taken a class on a smartphone during 2019.
However, there are people who hold different opinions. They think using technology can be addictive. Some children keep playing computer games and don’t know when to stop. Also, young people are turned into slaves of consumerism(消费主义的奴隶) because they are flooded with topics about fitness, fashion models, make-up, movie stars, etc. These topics can serve as a distraction from studying. But think about it, didn’t children in the past have their own distraction
Before the age of technology, the street was a distraction. Parents were worried about how long children spent playing outside. Young people always find their ways to get their minds off schoolwork. It’s not the fault of modern technology.
In conclusion, we cannot even imagine living without our smartphones, tablets and laptops. We need technology to connect to the rest of the world and get useful information. Whether we allow ourselves to be controlled by technology or we stay strong to fight against the addiction to it——that’s something we should all decide for ourselves.
37．Why does the writer mention the average time people spend on electronic devices
A．To lead in the topic. B．To stress its importance.
C．To criticize the behavior. D．To explore its influence.
38．In paragraph 4, the writer uses a survey by Pew Research Center to show ________.
A．we can check our emails from any place in the world
B．people in the US are more likely to take online classes
C．technology serves as a useful tool to get information
D．smartphone owners spend too much time on their phones
39．What can we learn from the passage
A．People are getting less dependent on technology as time goes by.
B．Technology has helped us keep in touch with others more easily.
C．Parents do not allow their children to play outside on the street.
D．Young people hate schoolwork because of modern technology.
40．The writer probably agrees that ________.
A．technology always brings positive effects to our daily life
B．children nowadays have the same distraction as they did in the past
C．we should be responsible for our behaviors when using technology
D．it is actually very easy to live without smartphones, tablets and laptops

A
What makes smartphones fun and useful There are many apps that you can use for work and play. Check out some of them here.
Dawn Chorus ― Android/ios There’s something beautiful about waking up to the sounds of nature. The app Dawn Chorus brings the sound of nature to your mornings. You can start your day with the sweet sounds of birds.
Vocabulary ― ios If you are looking to improve your English language skills, Vocabulary has something to offer. Vocabulary.com is more than just a dictionary. It also has a word learning system, which helps you to learn words through a fun game.
Prisma ― Android/ios Are you a fan of art Here’s an app created just for you. Prisma is a photo-editing app unlike any other. The photo filters (滤镜) on the app can make your pictures look like works of art. Let your imagination go wild!
Productive ― ios There is some truth to the saying “old habits die hard”. But what about new habits Sometimes new habits are just as difficult to start up and keep. If you’re having trouble trying to get into a new habit, then Productive might help you.
26．How many apps can you get on Android according to the passage
A．One. B．Two. C．Three. D．Four.
27．If you want to make your photos look better, which app will you choose
A．Dawn Chorus. B．Vocabulary. C．Prisma. D．Productive.
28．The text is probably from the column (栏目) of ________ in a newspaper

①Have you ever heard that groundhogs can predict（预测）the end of winter How about that elephants never forget things Or that dogs can smell the strange That may not be 100% true. However, many animals do have stronger senses than humans.
②Do animals have a sixth sense that can tell the future That may sound out of this world. However, many events seem to support this idea.
③Thousands of years ago, a big earthquake hit Helike, Greece. Buildings were in ruins. Many people were hurt. But there was something interesting. The city’s animals acted strangely days before the earthquake. Rats and snakes ran from the city in groups. Did they know an earthquake was coming In 1975, one million people had to leave their hometown, Haicheng, Liaoning Province with the help of Chinese government. Why They believed a disaster（灾难）was coming. They thought this, in part, because of animals’ strange behaviours. Just days later, a large earthquake hit the city. Experts（专家）said 150, 000 could have lost their lives if people stayed in the city at that time. In December 2004, the animals of Sri Lanka were acting strange. Elephants ran around. Dogs wouldn’t go outside. Zoo animals wouldn’t leave their home. Soon after people saw these strange behaviours, a tsunami hit the island.
④Animals seem to be pretty good at predicting disasters. But it doesn’t stop there! Some of them even seem to sense small changes in the weather before they happen. Bees are known to find places before it rains. Dairy farmers say they can tell a big storm is coming when their cows lie down. Cats and dogs are also said to know when a storm is on its way, as are birds and turtles. Can animals really tell the future
⑤Experts say it’s unlikely that animals can tell the future. However, they might hear or feel the earthquake before people do. Even though scientists have not proved animals have the ability to predict disasters before they happen and animals’ predictions aren’t always right, it’s not bad to pay attention to the animals.
29．According to the passage, we know many animals ________.
A．can tell the future in different ways B．have better sense abilities than humans
C．act strangely after some natural disasters D．use the sixth sense to predict earthquakes

C．How Do Animals Save People’s Life D．What Are Animals’ Ways to Tell the Future
C
Nowadays, mobile phones take up most of our time. We look at our mobile phones as we’re walking, play with them as we’re studying, and don’t want to put them down as we go to bed.
The Internet Development Research Institution (机构) of Peking University says over half of internet users say they want to get away from the internet and stay away from mobile phones. However, it is a very tall order especially now in China because we use our phones to pay for everything we bought every day.
There’s a new app (软件) which has a function (功能) to help users manage the time. For example, users can see how many times they’ve unlocked their phones, how many times they’ve checked their social media apps, and how much time they spend on each app every day. After seeing this information, the users will make some changes.
With the App Timer (计时) function, users can set a time limit (限制) for how long they can use each app for every day. After they’ve reached the limit, they won’t be able to use the app until the next day. And with another function, the app gets incoming calls silent when the user puts the phone face down.
But if people truly want to make full use of their free time instead of losing hours on their phones, it will not need to depend on any apps.
After all, who needs to use an app to stop you from using other apps The easiest answer would be just to use your willpower (毅力).
33．What does the underlined phrase “tall order” in Paragraph 2 mean
A．long list B．important thing C．difficult thing D．easy purpose
34．Which of the followings is NOT included in the new app’s functions
A．It stops the users from using willpower.
B．It checks how much time the users spend on apps.
C．It lists the times the users have unlocked the phone.
D．It shows the times the users have checked social media apps.
35．How can the users get incoming calls silent with the help of the app
A．Turn off the phone. B．Turn down the sound.
C．Put up the phone. D．Put the phone face down.
36．What is the writer’s purpose of the passage
A．To tell us the functions of a new app.
B．The easiest way to stop us from using mobile phones is our willpower.
C．Mobile phones take up most of our free time.
D．You need to depend on some apps if you manage your free time.
D
Are You Distracted(注意力分散的) by Technology
According to Daily Mail, people spend 8 hours and 41 minutes on electronic devices(电子设备) on average every day. There is no doubt that people are getting more dependent on technology as time goes by. The only question is: Are you too distracted by it
Well, technology can be a distraction only when people fail to use it responsibly. When a responsible person uses cellphones, tablets(平板电脑), laptops and other devices, technology has brought many positive effects to the daily life.
For starters, technology has greatly increased the efficiency of our daily life. We use computers to shop, code, buy tickets, and do many other things. We can check our emails from any place. It makes us keep in touch with family and friends without any trouble.
Technology also serves as a useful tool to get information. It can help us find out almost every piece of information we need. A survey by Pew Research Center showed that 62% of smartphone owners in the U.S. have used their devices to find information about health conditions; 57% relied on their phones to do online banking; and 30% of them have taken a class on a smartphone during 2019.
However, there are people who hold different opinions. They think using technology can be addictive. Some children keep playing computer games and don’t know when to stop. Also, young people are turned into slaves of consumerism(消费主义的奴隶) because they are flooded with topics about fitness, fashion models, make-up, movie stars, etc. These topics can serve as a distraction from studying. But think about it, didn’t children in the past have their own distraction
Before the age of technology, the street was a distraction. Parents were worried about how long children spent playing outside. Young people always find their ways to get their minds off schoolwork. It’s not the fault of modern technology.
In conclusion, we cannot even imagine living without our smartphones, tablets and laptops. We need technology to connect to the rest of the world and get useful information. Whether we allow ourselves to be controlled by technology or we stay strong to fight against the addiction to it——that’s something we should all decide for ourselves.
37．Why does the writer mention the average time people spend on electronic devices
A．To lead in the topic. B．To stress its importance.
C．To criticize the behavior. D．To explore its influence.
38．In paragraph 4, the writer uses a survey by Pew Research Center to show ________.
A．we can check our emails from any place in the world
B．people in the US are more likely to take online classes
C．technology serves as a useful tool to get information
D．smartphone owners spend too much time on their phones
39．What can we learn from the passage
A．People are getting less dependent on technology as time goes by.
B．Technology has helped us keep in touch with others more easily.
C．Parents do not allow their children to play outside on the street.
D．Young people hate schoolwork because of modern technology.
40．The writer probably agrees that ________.
A．technology always brings positive effects to our daily life
B．children nowadays have the same distraction as they did in the past
C．we should be responsible for our behaviors when using technology
D．it is actually very easy to live without smartphones, tablets and laptops
四、阅读还原5选5 （5分，每小题1分。）
