Some people have tried locking their mobiles away in order to fight against their smartphone addiction(上瘾), while others have used some tricks such as making their screens black and white. But the cure to smartphone addiction may lie in an app that rewards users for leaving their phone alone.
The new app, called Hold, can detect(检测)when users have used their smartphones and gives them points dependent on how long they avoid the temptation(引诱)of looking at Facebook, for example. Upon downloading it for free, users receive 10 points for every 20 minutes spent without touching their phone between 7: 00 and 23: 00 every day of the week, with a user email address needed to receive the rewards. To get half price Vue cinema tickets, users need 60 points. For two free coffees from Cafe Nero, users need 300 points, and a glass of juice for 90 points, For 5 Amazon vouchers(代金券)users need to have collected 1, 000 points.
Hold was created by Maths Mathisen, Florian Winder and Vinoth Vinaya-three Norwegians. They noticed that young people's dependence on their smartphones was getting out of hand while studying at Copenhagen Business School. Rather than punish their users, the three found that the best way to get them to put their phones down was to use tricks that got them interested in the first place.
Lots of studies in recent years point to the worrying rise of smartphone addiction and the effects of smartphones on education. Researchers from the London School of Economics found that students who did mot use their phones at school found their grades improved by 6.5 percent.
Cafe Nero, Amazon and Planet Organic will also offer discounts on the Hold marketplace. Students will also be offered the choice to use points to buy school books which are then donated to some schools.
4. According to the text, the student users of Hold____.
A. need to pay a certain amount of money B. can improve their grades by 6.5%
C. need to register（注册） with their email address D. receive 10 points for a 10-minute break

6. To get one half price Vue cinema ticket and two free coffees from Cafe Nero, a user needs to have ____minutes worth of points.
A. 120 B. 180
C. 360 D. 720
7. The purpose of this text is to _______.
A. explain why the Hold app is popular among users
B. introduce a useful app that can cure phone addiction
C. draw public attention to phone addiction among students
D. compare some interesting apps that are popular with students

For many of us, there’s nothing better than burying our head in a good book. Whether it’s a crime story or a biography of someone’s amazing life, it’s good to read a book to switch off from the distractions of everyday life and help us relax. Maybe that’s why some of them are actually described as a therapy to sickness.
It may seem obvious that reading is good for us. It can be educational, and, as some say, it can ‘broaden the mind’. A good novel can make us happy or sad, or make us cry as we sympathize with characters. The power of books was recognized a few years ago by the British charity Reading Agency, who published a list of books that doctors could offer to patients, concerning topics from depression to chronic（慢性的)pain. It called this “bibliotherapy” and it’s become so successful that it’s about to be extended to children as well.
Professor Philip Davis studies the effects of literature and is author of a book called Reading for Life. He studied people in reading groups and found that it’s reading literature — written works thought to have artistic value, that has the best effect. “When reading something for pleasure, the brain begins to work from different parts, from a different hemisphere and it gets excited, it gets pre-emotional — and you can see the brain coming to life.” he said.
Of course, it’s easy in our smartphone generation to desert a good book and play with our phones instead. But opening up a paperback could be a simple way to help boost or maintain our mental health. It’s thought they can help you set targets and find focus. And they may allow you to see that awkward situation you’ve been anxious about for weeks from someone else’s perspective.
If you’re not a keen reader it can be hard to know where to begin. If the Reading Agency book list doesn’t appeal, you could read book reviews, visit a library or bookshop or ask a friend. Once you’ve found the right text, you’ll be attracted! And if you still love your technology, you could always use an e-reader.
8. What can be learned from the first two paragraphs
A. Books are a better way to cure sickness. B. Reading allows one to focus on daily life.
C. “Bibliotherapy” has proved effective for adults. D. Reading Agency first realized the power of books.
9. What is the purpose of the passage
A. To state functions of various books. B. To value medical effects of reading.
C. To advocate people doing more reading. D. To recommend books listed in Reading Agency.
10. According to Professor Phillip Davis, ____________.
A. not all literature has artistic value B. written works have educational value
C. literature is a main source of pleasure D. reading literature can activate the brain
11. What is the advantage of paperbacks over smartphones

C. They benefit your mental health. D. They rid you of awkward situations.
【答案】8. C 9. C 10. D 11. C

Becoming old may not be something that’s yet to cross your mind. But aging is going to defeat us one day, so it’s something we’d all like to control.
It would be great to have a long, healthy and happy life, and that’s why scientists are constantly seeking out what we need to do to achieve it. We all know that regular exercise is good for us. In recent years we’ve been told to aim to walk 10,000 steps a day to remain healthy. But the latest piece of research might make you happy if you’re someone who walks at a fast speed. That’s because the speed at which people walk in their 40s is a sign of how much their brains and their bodies are aging.
The BBC’s Philippa Roxby writes that tests on 1, 000 people found that slower walkers tended to show signs of “accelerated (加速的) aging”. Their lungs, teeth and immune systems were in worse shape than those walking faster. The study also found not only did slower walkers’ bodies age more quickly, their faces looked older and they had smaller brains. This might be seen as a wake-up call for people with a slower speed to work out. But it might be too late; researchers say they were able to predict the walking speed of 45-year-olds using the results of intelligence, language and sport skills tests from when they were aged three. They also suggest that even in early life, there are signs showing which people will have a healthier life.
So, what’s the point of knowing that a slower walking speed might mean a smaller brain Researchers say measuring walking speed at a younger age and understanding what this might mean could be a way of testing treatments to slow human aging.
12 What does the latest research show
A. The speed of walking is a sign of aging. B. Regular exercise is good for our health.
C. Slower walkers tend to be younger. D. Walking 10,000 steps a day is helpful.
13. How did the researchers get the result
A. By carrying out surveys. B. By searching information on the Internet.
C. By doing tests on some people. D. By performing experiments in the lab.
14. What can we know about slower walkers according to paragraph 3
A. Their teeth were in better shape. B. Their faces looked younger.
C. They should try to exercise less. D. They had smaller brains.
15. What is the best title of the passage
A. Forever Young. B. Slow walking and aging.
C. Slow Life. D. Walk slowly, Live happily.
【答案】12. A 13. C 14. D 15. B

第二节(共5小题，每小题2.5分，满分12.5分)
Leonardo da Vinci and Nature
In the modern world, art and science are two very separate activities, but in Leonardo’s time they were closely connected. Science meant mathematics and medical studies.___16___Mathematics included practical work like surveying land for making maps as well as measuring the movements of the stars in the sky. An artist might need to measure the different parts of the body. He could also use mathematics to place things in relationship to each other in a drawing or painting so the scene looked correct.___17___
Mathematics was also connected to music because musical sounds have a fixed relationship with each other that can be described in numbers.___18___More than this, though, Leonardo believed that numbers were a part of all things in the world, including music, and he said that “without them nothing can be done.”
“Nature has kindly given us things everywhere to copy,” wrote Leonardo. In all his activities, Leonardo was trying to discover the rules that control nature. In his search for those rules, he looked very carefully at a lot of examples and details. Actual experience was more important to him than opinion, and he worked from facts to ideas.____19____ His purpose was to examine the world so he could copy it in beautiful paintings and sculptures. He also wanted to learn from the clever solutions of nature.
___20___ His quick little sketches, often done while wandering outside, helped him to catch a movement or a shape. More careful drawings would be done at a desk with a pen and ruler. In July 2001, a small drawing by Leonardo was sold for $12 million. It was the most expensive drawing in the world.
A. Leonardo was always drawing.
B. How could these be connected with art
C. Leonardo was also an influential philosopher.
D. Mathematicians and doctors worked to discover the unknown.
E. Above all, Leonardo wanted to understand how and why things worked.
F. Leonardo himself was a very good musician and liked to play an instrument and sing.
G. You will see a good example of such positioning in the painting of The Last Supper.
【答案】16. B 17. G 18. F 19. E 20. A
【分析】这是一篇科普说明文。通过对达·芬奇与自然是如何结合起来进行艺术创作这一事件进行以下方面的说明：数学、音乐与艺术的关系，以及自然与艺术的关系。
【16题详解】
空格前面两句，由但是引导的句子提示我们，在里奥拉多时代，科学与艺术紧密相连。科学意味着数学和医学研究， but in Leonardo’s time they were closely connected. Science meant mathematics and medical studies. 那他们是如何紧密联系在一起的呢？这样看来B选项How could these be connected with art 那这些是如何与艺术紧密相联系的呢？这是西方作者行文的特点即渐进式重复主题，切合题意。故选B。
【17题详解】
He could also use mathematics to place things in relationship to each other in a drawing or painting so the scene looked correct.从空格前面这句里面的place things in relationship to each other in a drawing or painting.把所画的事物在一幅画里面彼此之间的位置关系安排的妥妥的。这里读出两点信息：一是in a drawing or painting.一是place things.根据这两点信息可以推出答案里面必须要有一幅画和位置的描述。G选项刚好切合此意：You will see a good example of such positioning in the painting of The Last Supper.你会看到一个好的例子，就是有这样一幅画《最后的晚餐》里人物位置的安排。故选G。
【18题详解】
本段描述的是与音乐有关的话题，数学与音乐的关系。因此可以推出达·芬奇也应该熟悉并精通音乐。F选项与此意切合：Leonardo himself was a very good musician and liked to play an instrument and sing.里奥拉多他自己就是一个非常优秀的音乐家，喜欢演奏乐器和唱歌。故选F。
【19题详解】
在空格前面的描述中可以得知：达·芬奇在他探寻这些规则的时候，他认真仔细地观察大量的实例和细节。实践经历比起他自己的意见更重要，然后他经常通过事实得出观点。……他的目的是考量这个世界，以便于能够把它复制在自己美丽的图画和雕塑中。通过对上文的理解，达·芬奇做这些的最终目的是为了画画和创作。那么答案中必定有表示目的这一选项供我们选择。或者说在描述前面这么多细节后，再接着描述他到底想要做什么。因此E选项切合题意：Above all, Leonardo wanted to understand how and why things worked.最重要的是，里奥拉多想要理解事物是如何运作的，又为什么会这么运作。故选E。
【20题详解】
根据空格后面两句话的结构可以看出：他的小速写……，更多的认真的画画，会用一支钢笔和尺在桌子旁边完成。然后讲他的一幅小速写卖了多少钱，是当今世界上最贵的一幅画。空格在这一段的开头处，可以得出答案一定会有一个总起的作用的结论，就是要为后面所说的两件事情都与画画有关。能够充当此角色的只有A选项切合此意：Leonardo was always drawing. 里奥拉多总是画画。故选A。
第三部分 语言运用
