B
Is looking fashionable more important than being comfortable Many people seem to think so, judging (判断) by the things they wear. But fashion is not everything. It is more important to be a healthy and good person.
People go to great lengths to be fashionable. Some people think they have to have a certain body type, so they go on extreme, unhealthy diets in order to change their bodies. In addition, many women wear uncomfortable fashions, such as high-heeled shoes that cause pain to their feet, and tight body shapers that limit blood flow. Men and women alike spend time and money on products that change their natural hair color or hairstyle. Some people even spend several hours a day in front of a mirror. Is fashion so important that people spend so much time and effort changing what they look like
If the purpose of fashion is to make a person feel good, it does not make sense that he or she would go through so much discomfort to be fashionable. Fashion should not come first. People should put their health and positive image in the first place. What people wear does not say anything about their personalities. Instead of spending hours choosing a dress, perhaps you should call your friends and do something together, such as playing soccer or badminton. Instead of going on strict diets and forcing yourself to stay hungry, why not eat some healthy foods and then exercise By doing these things, you can keep a healthy lifestyle and truly grow as a person.

【4题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段“Is looking fashionable more important than being comfortable Many people seem to think so, judging (判断) by the things they wear. But fashion is not everything. It is more important to be a healthy and good person.(看起来时尚比舒适更重要吗？从他们穿的衣服来判断，很多人似乎都这么认为。但时尚并不是一切。做一个健康舒适的人更重要)”可知，作者提出问题，以引入文章的主题：健康比时尚更重要。故选B项。
【5题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第二段“Some people think they have to have a certain body type, so they go on extreme, unhealthy diets in order to change their bodies. In addition, many women wear uncomfortable fashions, such as high-heeled shoes that cause pain to their feet, and tight body shapers that limit blood flow. Men and women alike spend time and money on products that change their natural hair color or hairstyle. Some people even spend several hours a day in front of a mirror.(有些人认为自己必须拥有某种体型，所以他们为了改变自己的身材，采取极端、不健康的饮食。此外，许多女性穿着不舒适的时装，如导致脚部疼痛的高跟鞋，限制血液流动的紧身塑身衣。男人和女人都会花时间和金钱购买改变他们自然发色或发型的产品。有些人甚至每天花几个小时在镜子前)”可知，本段主要介绍了人们为了时尚付出的代价。故选C项。
【6题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段“Instead of spending hours choosing a dress, perhaps you should call your friends and do something together, such as playing soccer or badminton. Instead of going on strict diets and forcing yourself to stay hungry, why not eat some healthy foods and then exercise By doing these things, you can keep a healthy lifestyle and truly grow as a person.(与其花几个小时来挑选衣服，也许你应该打电话给你的朋友，一起做一些事情，比如踢足球或打羽毛球。与其严格节食，强迫自己保持饥饿，为什么不吃一些健康的食物，然后锻炼身体呢？通过做这些事情，你可以保持健康的生活方式，真正成长为一个人)”可知，与花费时间精力以及牺牲健康而换取时尚相比，作者认为应该吃健康食物，和朋友一起锻炼身体。由此推知，作者可能推荐和朋友一起去滑雪这项活动。故选A项。
【7题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段“But fashion is not everything. It is more important to be a healthy and good person.(但时尚并不是一切。做一个健康舒适的人更重要)”以及第三段“Fashion should not come first. People should put their health and positive image in the first place.(时尚不应该是第一位的。人们应该把健康和正面形象放在首位)”可知，本文说明时尚远不如健康和舒适更重要。由此推知，作者写作本文的目的是劝说读者重视健康胜过重视时尚。故选C项。

Not even a flooded river could stand between Mary Breckinridge and the hospital her patients needed. A heavy rain ruined the banks beside Mary Breckinridge’s Wendover, Kentucky, clinic (诊所). She had to find a way to get her five patients to the hospital in Lexington.
With a neighbour’s help, Mary and the nurses built a boat. They named it Ambulance, and on the morning of 30 December 1926, Mary, another nurse, and the patients set off down the river. After sixteen wild miles on the dangerous river, they arrived at the train station in Krypton. As she watched the train pull away with her patients safely on board, Mary smiled and waved.
Mary had not planned to be a nurse. She was the daughter of a wealthy Kentucky politician. As a child, Mary was influenced by her family who had always been concerned (担忧) about the poor people of the state. When she grew up, Mary was inspired to become a nurse. So in 1925, Mary hired a few British-trained nurses and, with some money from her family, started the Frontier Nursing Service in Wendover, Kentucky.
Before Mary and her nurses came, the mountain people lived a hard life. Families made so little money that they could not afford doctors or medicine. Many children had diseases and early every person was malnourished for lack of food. Mary and the nurses built clinics and a small hospital deep in the forests of Leslie County. There were no roads, electricity, or telephones. Each day the nurses rode on horseback to faraway farms, often in bad weather, to answer calls for help. They worked hard to keep an eye on their patients.
The Frontier Nursing Service grew. Today their nursing service reaches far beyond the Kentucky mountains. Medical professionals from all over the world come to Wendover to study rural ( 乡村的 ) health care in action. When these men and women go back to their own countries, they are prepared to help people in need.
8. How did Mary get her patients to Krypton
A. By train. B. By car.
C. By water. D. On horseback.
9. What does the underlined word “malnourished” in paragraph 4 mean
A. In bad health. B. Short of money.
C. Lacking in food. D. At risk for diseases.
10. What can we learn about Mary Breckinridge from the text
A. She trained all of the nurses herself.
B. She never had enough money for her work.
C. She remains a great influence on health care today.
D. She wiped out diseases in the Kentucky mountains.
11. What might be the mountain people’s attitude towards Mary and the nurses’ service
A. Doubtful. B. Uncaring.
C. Supportive. D. Thankful.
【答案】8. C 9. A 10. C 11. D
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了在20世纪20年代一名叫玛丽.布雷肯里奇的女护士在肯塔基偏远山区建立医疗所，骑马为山区人民提供医疗服务的故事。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。由文章第二段“With a neighbour’s help, Mary and the nurses built a boat. (在邻居的帮助下，玛丽和护士们造了一艘船。)”以及“ After sixteen wild miles on the dangerous river, they arrived at the train station in Krypton.(在危险的河上狂奔了16英里后，她们到达了克利普顿的火车站。)”可知，玛丽与其他护士一起造船，最终通过水路将病人送到了克利普顿的火车站，然后乘上了开往菜克星顿医院的火车。故选C。
【9题详解】
词义猜测题。第四段中“Before Mary and her nurses came, the mountain people lived a hard life. Families made so little money that they could not afford doctors or medicine.(在玛丽和她的护士来之前，山里的人们过着艰苦的生活。家庭收入如此之少，以至于他们支付不起医生的费用或买药品。)”可知本段讲述的是当地人民生活艰难，没有钱去看病或买药。同时根据划线词前面的内容“ Many children had diseases (许多孩子都有疾病)”以及划线词后面的内容“for lack of food(因为缺乏食物)”可知，由于缺乏食物，几乎每个人的健康状况都不是很好，所以选项A符合语境。A选项“In bad health.(糟糕的健康状况)”与划线词同义。故选A。
【10题详解】
细节理解题。根据文中最后一段“Today their nursing service reaches far beyond the Kentucky mountains. Medical professionals from all over the world come to Wendover to study rural ( 乡村的 ) health care in action. When these men and women go back to their own countries, they are prepared to help people in need.( 今天，她们的护理服务远远超出了肯塔基山脉。来自世界各地的医学专家来到温多佛学习农村医疗保健的实际情况。当这些男人和女人回到自己的国家，他们准备帮助有需要的人。)”可知，许多国外的专业人士来到玛丽创办的机构学习乡村医疗卫生保健服务，这些人回到自己的国家后又准备帮助需要帮助的人。由此可知，玛丽对目前的医疗服务仍然有着很深远的影响。故选C。
【11题详解】
推理判断题。由文章第二段“With a neighbour’s help, Mary and the nurses built a boat. (在邻居的帮助下，玛丽和护士们造了一艘船。)”以及“ After sixteen wild miles on the dangerous river, they arrived at the train station in Krypton.(在危险的河上狂奔了16英里后，她们到达了克利普顿的火车站。)”可知，玛丽与其他护士一起造船，最终通过水路将病人送到了克利普顿的火车站，然后乘上了开往菜克星顿医院的火车。以及通读全文克制，玛丽和其他护士克服困难，为肯塔基山区人民提供医疗服务，对于这一善行，当地人民应该是感谢的。故选D。
D
Technology use seems to be the new wave of addiction hitting people of all ages. The next time you’re in a crowded public place, look at the people around you. It’s hard to find someone who isn’t glued to the tiny screen, fingers moving at lightning speeds, texting their friends, emailing co-workers or listening to music. It may seem ridiculous (荒谬的) that someone is that addicted to such a small object. I’ve seen people who seem to be at their wits’ end if their phone has been taken away, lost or left at home.
Some people may ask, “What’s wrong with technology use It’s a way for people to communicate.” While this is true, the overuse of technology isn’t always suitable in certain settings. Schools are becoming stricter about the use of mobile phones, iPods and other electronics in classrooms. Various workplaces have signs hanging on their walls warning employees that “Mobile phone use is not permitted.”
Electronics may be a way for people to communicate and stay in touch with each other, but the disadvantages may outweigh the benefits. People are losing the ability to hold face-to-face conversations with others.
However, it’s hard to avoid electronics in this day and age because almost everything is turning into an electronic format. Books, originally meant for paper design, are now being transferred (转存) to electronic forms. Photo albums, and even yearbooks, can now be viewed via the Internet. With this growing trend (趋势), future generations certainly become even more addicted to technology.
Is there a cure for electronic addiction Simply turning electronics off for an hour or two a day may help to an extent, but it will not completely overcome electronic addiction. There only seems to be one cure left, and it may be the hardest: self-control.
12. What phenomenon is described in the first paragraph
A. Addiction to smart phones. B. The popularity of smart phones.
C. Bad behaviors in public places. D. Changes brought by technology.
13. What does the underlined phrase “at their wits’ end” in paragraph I probably mean
A. At a disadvantage. B. At a loss. C. Out of the way. D. Out of control.
14. What is Paragraph 4 mainly about
A. The benefits of smart phones. B. The future trend of smart phones.
C. Reasons for technology addiction. D. The negative impacts of smart phone addiction.
15. What advice does the author give in the text
A. Focus on other activities. B. Stay away from smart phones.
C. Develop and improve self-control. D. Change the habits of smart phone use.
【答案】12. A 13. B 14. B 15. C
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了人们沉迷于智能手机的现象。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段中“It’s hard to find someone who isn’t glued to the tiny screen, fingers moving at lightning speeds, texting their friends, emailing co-workers or listening to music. It may seem ridiculous (荒谬的) that someone is that addicted to such a small object. (很难找到一个不粘在小屏幕上、手指以闪电般的速度移动、给朋友发短信、给同事发邮件或听音乐的人。有人对这么小的东西如此上瘾，这似乎很荒谬)”可知，第一段描述了智能手机成瘾现象。故选A项。
【13题详解】
词句猜测题。根据划线词上文“It’s hard to find someone who isn’t glued to the tiny screen, fingers moving at lightning speeds, texting their friends, emailing co-workers or listening to music. It may seem ridiculous (荒谬的) that someone is that addicted to such a small object. (很难找到一个不粘在小屏幕上、手指以闪电般的速度移动、给朋友发短信、给同事发邮件或听音乐的人。有人对这么小的东西如此上瘾，这似乎很荒谬)”可知，人们对智能手机很上瘾。再根据下文“if their phone has been taken away, lost or left at home.(如果他们的手机被拿走、丢失或丢在家里)”可知，人们手机成瘾，如果手机被拿走、丢失或丢在家里，人们就会不知所措。由此推知，划线部分at their wits’ end与at a loss(不知所措)意思接近。故选B项。
【14题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第四段“However, it’s hard to avoid electronics in this day and age because almost everything is turning into an electronic format. Books, originally meant for paper design, are now being transferred (转存) to electronic forms. Photo albums, and even yearbooks, can now be viewed via the Internet. With this growing trend (趋势), future generations certainly become even more addicted to technology.(然而，在这个时代很难避免电子产品，因为几乎所有东西都在变成电子格式。原本用于纸面设计的书籍，现在正转变为电子形式。相册，甚至年鉴现在都可以通过互联网浏览。随着这一趋势的发展，未来的几代人肯定会更加沉迷于科技)”可知，第四段主要是关于智能手机的未来趋势。故选B项。
【15题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段“Is there a cure for electronic addiction Simply turning electronics off for an hour or two a day may help to an extent, but it will not completely overcome electronic addiction. There only seems to be one cure left, and it may be the hardest: self-control.(有治疗电子成瘾的方法吗 简单地每天关掉电子设备一两个小时可能会在一定程度上有所帮助，但它不会完全克服电子成瘾。似乎只有一种治疗方法，而且可能是最难的：自我控制)”可知，关于治疗手机上瘾，作者在文中给出的建议是发展和提高自我控制能力。故选C项。

【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了牢固的亲子关系可以帮助青少年顺利度过叛逆期，并提出一些可以为青少年和父母创造积极体验的建议。
【16题详解】
根据前文“Almost all teenagers will have some behavioral outbursts with their families during this period of life.(在这一时期，几乎所有的青少年都会与家人发生一些行为上的冲突。)”提及了青少年的“叛逆期”，因此可推知，设空句应呼应话题，继续讲述叛逆期，且提及如何度过这一时期。选项G“But strong relationships can help teens and their parents through hard times.(但是牢固的关系可以帮助青少年和他们的父母度过困难时期。)”中的“hard times”呼应了话题“叛逆期”，讲到了方法“牢固的父母子女关系”，且在逻辑上与前文构成转折。故选G项。
【17题详解】
根据主旨句“Have meals together.”可知，该段的核心是“一起吃饭”，后文“Eating meals together offers a way for parents and kids to share what is on their minds. It brings families closer by creating trust and understanding to help guide children through the challenges of the teen years.(一起吃饭为父母和孩子提供了一种分享他们心中所想的方式。它通过建立信任和理解来拉近家庭关系，帮助引导孩子度过青少年时期的挑战。)”则具体解释了家人一起吃饭对于青少年的重要性，因此设空句应是论点句，包含“一起吃饭很重要”这一结论。选项E“This can be hard to do with busy schedules, but it is important.(这在繁忙的日程中可能很难做到，但这很重要。)”中“This”呼应前文，且“but”句为后文的“总结”，与后文构成解释关系。故选E项。
【18题详解】
设空句为该段主旨句。根据后文“As teens develop their own sense of independence, it gets harder to find time to talk. Talk in the car together, when doing dishes together, or any time you have a chance.(随着青少年独立意识的发展，找时间交谈变得越来越困难。在车里聊天，一起洗碗的时候聊天，或者任何有机会的时候聊天。)”可知，该段的核心为“与孩子聊天”。选项A“Talk with your teen.(和你的孩子谈谈。)”贴合该段主旨。故选A项。
【19题详解】
根据后文“Others may find connection through spiritual communities or from having more responsibilities at home.(其他人可能通过精神社区或在家里承担更多的责任而找到联系。)”提到了其他人的做法，因此，与“Others”相呼应，设空句应是“Some”。选项F“Some teens learn this by playing in music bands or team sports.(一些青少年通过参加乐队或团队运动学会了这一点。)”中出现了“Some”，与后文构成并列关系，且“this”与前文“help teens learn that their words and actions mater(帮助青少年认识到他们的言行很重要)”相呼应。故选F项。
【20题详解】
该段的主旨句“Find time to have fun together!(找时间一起玩!)”提到了“欢乐时光”，因此设空句应以此为话题，且前文“No one wants the attention of people they love to be focused only on what not to do. This is true for teenagers, too.(没有人希望自己所爱的人只关注不该做的事情。青少年也是如此。)”提到了青少年也不喜欢被否定，那么设空句应讲述他们喜欢什么。选项D“Relaxing together helps them feel loved and valued.(一起放松能让他们感受到被爱和被重视。)”中“Relaxing together”呼应主题，且解释了青少年喜欢“被爱”和“被重视”。故选D项。

Protect traditional Chinese culture plays a very important role in the diversity and inheritance of Chinese culture.

As far as I was concerned, some measures should be taken to effective protect traditional Chinese culture. To start with, we must arouse people’s aware of cultural protection, for the more importance we attach, the less support we can get from the public.

In a word, it is high time for ourselves to treasure and develop our own valuable culture.

4was→am
5.effective→effectively
6.aware→awareness

【解析】
【分析】这是一篇说明文。文章中强调了保护中国传统文化对中国文化的多样性和传承起着非常重要的作用，同时还提出了一些保护中国传统文化的措施。
【详解】1.考查非谓语动词。分析句子结构可知，protect在句中应用非谓语动词形式，且句子缺少主语，故应用动名词短语作主语。故 Protect改为Protecting。
2.考查主谓一致。此处主语为“traditional crafts”，时态为一般现在时，故谓语动词应用动词原形。故has改为have。
3.考查介词。句意：这和中国有价值的教义如儒家思想是相同的。结合句意表示“与……相同”可知短语为It is the same with…。故same后添加with。
4.考查固定短语。句意：在我看来，应该采取一些措施来有效地保护中国传统文化。结合句意表示“在我看来”可知短语为as far as I am concerned。故was改为am。
5.考查副词。句意同上。修饰动词protect应用副词effectively，作状语。故effective改为effectively。
6.考查名词。根据上文名词所有格people’s，可知此处应用名词awareness，作宾语，且表示抽象概念不可数。故aware改为awareness。
7.考查比较级。句意：首先，我们必须唤起人们保护文化的意识，因为我们越是重视，我们从公众那里得到的支持就越多。此处为“the+比较级，the+比较级”结构，表示“越多”应用比较级more。故less改为more。
8.考查副词。句意：此外，学校应该更加重视文化教育，让学生充分认识到文化保护的重要性。此处表示“此外”应用副词besides，however表示“然而”，表转折。故However改为Besides。
9.考查名词。句意同上。结合句意表示“更加重视”可知短语为pay more attention to，中间没有冠词。故去掉a。
10.考查代词。句意：总之，是时候让我们珍惜和发展我们自己有价值的文化了。此处作介词for的宾语，指“我们”应用人称代词宾格us。故ourselves改为us。

阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。
A
Going on a road trip The Statue of Liberty, Golden Gate Bridge and the Hearst Castle are common great tourist sites. But if you prefer offbeat places,check out the following roadside attractions.
World’s Largest Ball of Paint
Alexandria, Ind.
In 1977, Michael Carmichael set out to create the biggest ball of paint anywhere. Starting with a baseball as the centre, he painted coat after coat of paint day after day, year after year. The ball weighs more than l ,300 pounds,with more than 20,000 coats of paint, which is recognised by Guinness World Records. Visitors can paint the ball themselves and become part of history.
The Museum of Dirt
Boston, Mass.
The museum is the idea of Glenn Johnson. In the glass bottles are such treasures as dirt from the Great Wall of China, as well as sand from a desert in Saudi Arabia and Omaha Beach in France. Best of all, the cost of seeing this museum is dirt cheap: It’s free.
Mount Horeb Mustard Museum
Mount Horeb, Wis.
It’s heaven for hot dog lovers! This museum says that it has to have the world’s largest collection of prepared mustard (芥末). It’s more than 4,100 bottles of spices (香料) come from 60 nations, including Turkey and China.Visitors learn the history of mustard, from how it’s made to how it’s advertised and sold. The museum’s creator, Barry Levenson, loves mustard so much that he even puts it on ice cream!
Paper House
Rock port, Mass,
Elis Stenman was much ahead of his time in 1922, when he started to build a two-room house almost completely out of newspaper. At the time, people didn’t give much - if any - thought to recycling (回收利用) paper.In fact, “recycling” wasn’t even a word then. The house is framed (以......做框架) with wood, but the walls are made of newspaper only. In all, he used about 100,000 newspapers.

Is looking fashionable more important than being comfortable Many people seem to think so, judging (判断) by the things they wear. But fashion is not everything. It is more important to be a healthy and good person.
People go to great lengths to be fashionable. Some people think they have to have a certain body type, so they go on extreme, unhealthy diets in order to change their bodies. In addition, many women wear uncomfortable fashions, such as high-heeled shoes that cause pain to their feet, and tight body shapers that limit blood flow. Men and women alike spend time and money on products that change their natural hair color or hairstyle. Some people even spend several hours a day in front of a mirror. Is fashion so important that people spend so much time and effort changing what they look like
If the purpose of fashion is to make a person feel good, it does not make sense that he or she would go through so much discomfort to be fashionable. Fashion should not come first. People should put their health and positive image in the first place. What people wear does not say anything about their personalities. Instead of spending hours choosing a dress, perhaps you should call your friends and do something together, such as playing soccer or badminton. Instead of going on strict diets and forcing yourself to stay hungry, why not eat some healthy foods and then exercise By doing these things, you can keep a healthy lifestyle and truly grow as a person.

Not even a flooded river could stand between Mary Breckinridge and the hospital her patients needed. A heavy rain ruined the banks beside Mary Breckinridge’s Wendover, Kentucky, clinic (诊所). She had to find a way to get her five patients to the hospital in Lexington.
With a neighbour’s help, Mary and the nurses built a boat. They named it Ambulance, and on the morning of 30 December 1926, Mary, another nurse, and the patients set off down the river. After sixteen wild miles on the dangerous river, they arrived at the train station in Krypton. As she watched the train pull away with her patients safely on board, Mary smiled and waved.
Mary had not planned to be a nurse. She was the daughter of a wealthy Kentucky politician. As a child, Mary was influenced by her family who had always been concerned (担忧) about the poor people of the state. When she grew up, Mary was inspired to become a nurse. So in 1925, Mary hired a few British-trained nurses and, with some money from her family, started the Frontier Nursing Service in Wendover, Kentucky.
Before Mary and her nurses came, the mountain people lived a hard life. Families made so little money that they could not afford doctors or medicine. Many children had diseases and early every person was malnourished for lack of food. Mary and the nurses built clinics and a small hospital deep in the forests of Leslie County. There were no roads, electricity, or telephones. Each day the nurses rode on horseback to faraway farms, often in bad weather, to answer calls for help. They worked hard to keep an eye on their patients.
The Frontier Nursing Service grew. Today their nursing service reaches far beyond the Kentucky mountains. Medical professionals from all over the world come to Wendover to study rural ( 乡村的 ) health care in action. When these men and women go back to their own countries, they are prepared to help people in need.
8. How did Mary get her patients to Krypton
A. By train. B. By car.
C. By water. D. On horseback.
9. What does the underlined word “malnourished” in paragraph 4 mean
A. In bad health. B. Short of money.
C. Lacking in food. D. At risk for diseases.
10. What can we learn about Mary Breckinridge from the text
A. She trained all of the nurses herself.
B. She never had enough money for her work.
C. She remains a great influence on health care today.
D. She wiped out diseases in the Kentucky mountains.
11. What might be the mountain people’s attitude towards Mary and the nurses’ service
A. Doubtful. B. Uncaring.
C. Supportive. D. Thankful.
D
Technology use seems to be the new wave of addiction hitting people of all ages. The next time you’re in a crowded public place, look at the people around you. It’s hard to find someone who isn’t glued to the tiny screen, fingers moving at lightning speeds, texting their friends, emailing co-workers or listening to music. It may seem ridiculous (荒谬的) that someone is that addicted to such a small object. I’ve seen people who seem to be at their wits’ end if their phone has been taken away, lost or left at home.
Some people may ask, “What’s wrong with technology use It’s a way for people to communicate.” While this is true, the overuse of technology isn’t always suitable in certain settings. Schools are becoming stricter about the use of mobile phones, iPods and other electronics in classrooms. Various workplaces have signs hanging on their walls warning employees that “Mobile phone use is not permitted.”
Electronics may be a way for people to communicate and stay in touch with each other but the disadvantages may outweigh the benefits. People are losing the ability to hold face-to-face conversations with others.
However, it’s hard to avoid electronics in this day and age because almost everything is turning into an electronic format. Books, originally meant for paper design, are now being transferred (转存) to electronic forms. Photo albums, and even yearbooks, can now be viewed via the Internet. With this growing trend (趋势), future generations certainly become even more addicted to technology.
Is there a cure for electronic addiction Simply turning electronics off for an hour or two a day may help to an extent, but it will not completely overcome electronic addiction. There only seems to be one cure left, and it may be the hardest: self-control.
12. What phenomenon is described in the first paragraph
A. Addiction to smart phones. B. The popularity of smart phones.
C. Bad behaviors in public places. D. Changes brought by technology.
13. What does the underlined phrase “at their wits’ end” in paragraph I probably mean
A. At a disadvantage. B. At a loss. C. Out of the way. D. Out of control.
14. What is Paragraph 4 mainly about
A. The benefits of smart phones. B. The future trend of smart phones.
C. Reasons for technology addiction. D. The negative impacts of smart phone addiction.
15. What advice does the author give in the text
A. Focus on other activities. B. Stay away from smart phones.
C. Develop and improve self-control. D. Change the habits of smart phone use.
