Most people who own iPhones use them as their alarm clocks —making it very easy to check emails one last time before falling asleep and hard to ever feel away from work and social networks.
Several years ago, my boss fainted due to exhaustion after staying up late to catch up on work. She banged her head and ended up with five stitches (缝针) —and becam e what she calls a “sleep evangelist (传教士)．” Now she leaves her phone charging in another room when she goes to bed and encourages her friends to do the same.
“I sent all my friends the same Christmas gift — a lovely alarm clock — so they could stop using the excuse that they needed their very attractive iPhones by
their beds to wake them up in the morning.” she said.
If your phone wakes you up in the morning, it may also be keeping you up at night. A 2008 study showed that people exposed to mobile radiation took longer to fall asleep and spent less time in deep sleep. “The study indicates that during laboratory exposure to 884 MHz wireless signals, components of sleep believed to be important for recovery from daily wear and tear are severely affected，” the study concluded.
A quarter of young people feel like they must be available by phone around the clock, according to a Swedish study that linked heavy cellphone use to sleeping problems, stress and depression. Unreturned messages carry more guilt when the technology to deal with them lies at our fingertips. Some teens even return text messages at midnight.
Most of us choose not to set limits on our nighttime availability. Nearly three quarters of people from the age of 18 to 44 sleep with their phones within reach, according to a 2012 Time poll. That number falls off slightly in middle age, but only people aged 65 and older are leaving the phone in another room as common as sleeping right next to it.

A．Her friends encouraged her to sleep on time.
B．Mobile phones couldn't wake her up on time.
C．Her friends sent her a lovely clock to wake her up.
D．She got hurt due to working too late.
2.Why did the author's boss give her friends alarm clocks as Christmas gifts?
A．Alarm clocks don't give off any radiation.
B．Alarm clocks are better at waking her friends up.
C．She advised them to replace phones with alarm clocks.
D．She used alarm clocks to remind them not to work too late.
3．What can we learn from the 2008 study?
A．Mobile radiation makes people unable to fall asleep.
B．Mobile phones can release 884 MHz wired signals.
C．Sleep can help people fight against radiation.
D．Components of sleep can be seriously affected by wireless signals.

I first began experiencing anxiety and depression at the age of 14, after being bullied (欺凌) at school for years. While at first anxiety and depression would come and go, it eventually became a constant part of my life.
I was so eager to find the solution to overcoming my anxiety and depression that I tried everything from when I was in college to graduate school: mood­changing medication, special teas, yoga, anything I read about in books, and advice given by doctors. Despite this, I still felt I hadn't even come close to managing the problem.
But one afternoon, my eyes fell upon an article in a magazine I was reading that talked about how dogs were able to help people with anxiety and depression.
The very next day, I decided to get a dog —a corgi. When I brought my little corgi, Buddy, home, I didn't realize how much he would change my life. It didn't happen right away, however.
Once the “puppy excitement” went away, my anxiety and depression came back as usual. One morning, I woke up with those familiar feelings again. I didn't want to get out of bed. I turned to pull the covers back over my head and gave up. That's when I saw Buddy.
Buddy started jumping all over me, licking my face, letting me know that it was time to go outside. It was as if he wer e saying, “There's no time to be sad, the world is amazing！” And for the first time in my life, my life was changing.
I really was a new person. This was my new beginning.
It's been more than a year since that day, and I've never spent another morning unable to get out of bed. I've not cried myself to sleep or spent my days stuck with fear and regret. Sure, I still have days when I feel sad or anxious. But with Buddy, my best friend, by my side, I've finally learned how to manage these feelings and emotions.
5．According to the first two paragraphs, the author ________.
A．has been a school bully for years
B．suffered from depression since college
C．tried many ways to fight depression but nothing worked
D．felt less depressed after taking medication and doing yoga
6．How did the author know having a dog might help with her depression?
A．A doctor put it forward to her.
B．She read it in an article by chance.
C．She heard it from some other depression sufferers.
D．She found out herself after spending some time with a corgi.
7．How does the author feel in the last paragraph?
A．Hopeful. B．Anxious.
C．Confused. D．Doubtful.
Ⅲ.概要写作
阅读下面短文，根据其内容写一篇60词左右的内容概要。

It is generally believed that scientific research should improve our quality of life. Meanwhile, there is almost universal agreement that the government should provide financial and political support for any research that is likely to result in immediate and significant benefits for the majority of people. However, when it comes to whether the government should support scientific research with no practical use, people's ideas vary. I agree with the statement that the government should distribute enough funds to any scientific research that aims to improve the well­being of people, even if it is of no practical use in the short run.
Scientific research whose social benefits are immediate, predictable, and far­reaching should continue to be a high priority (优先事项). For example, biotechnology research has been proven to help cure and prevent diseases; advances in medical technology make it possible to offer safer treatments; information technology enables education to be more accessible; and communication technology promotes global peace by improving mutual understanding among people and their participation in the democratic (民主的) process.
However, this is not to say that research whose benefits are less immediate or clear should be given a lower priority. It is difficult to predict what research will finally lead to the greatest contributions to society. Unwillingness to finance less practical scientific research could have a harmful effect on the efforts to explore new knowledge. This is particularly true of the computer science. For example, before the first computer was invented, public opinions went against it, as most people saw nothing practical in computer research. However, computers
transformed the way human society developed and proved to be of great use in the long run, especially in terms of scientific development in fields such as the military, medicine, aviation, and education.
Therefore, never should we think that scientific research whose benefits are unknown is not worth undertaking since the purpose of any research should be to discover the truth, whatever it might be.

Ⅲ.概要写作
【语篇解读】Paragraph 1：人们普遍认为，科学研究应该有助于提升生活质量，政府应该给可能会给大多数人带来即时、显著社会效益的研究提供经济和政治支持。

但当谈
及政府是否应该支持没有实际用途的科学研究时，人们观点不一。

我的观点是，政府应该分配足够的资金给予任何一个旨在促进人类幸福的科学研究，即使从短期来看，它没有实际用途。

Paragraph 2：那些能够产生即时的、可预测的、意义深远的社会效益的科学研究应该继续被作为重点项目来对待。

Paragraph 3：但是，这并不是说那些所产生的社会效益不会那么即时、明显的研究就应该被列为非重点项目。

很难判断什么样的研究最终会对社会作出巨大贡献。

Paragraph 4：因此，我们绝不能认为那些社会效益不确定的科学研究就不值得进行，因为不管是什么样的研究，其目的都是了解真相。

There exists disagreement about whether the government should support scientific research without immediate benefits, but I think it essential to fund it for its potential contribution. (要点1) It's universally accepted that scientific research with instant and significant social benefits should be given privileges. (要点2) But it doesn't mean less attention to research having no immediate or obvious social benefits, for it may eventually make unexpected contributions. (要点3) In short, all scientific research deserves equal attention and support considering its aim of exposing the truth. (要点4)。
