文章讲述了作者对于更换智能手机的一些看法。

13. I need a new phone. Like many of us with older model iPhones, my battery life is just a few hours and I’ve stopped updating the operating system to extend the phone’s life. But I’m having a tough time making the final decision. It’s not the cost. It’s not the inconvenience either. It’s the environment.
Making smartphones, laptops, and other tech products takes a lot of resources. This is partly due to the carbon emissions from the producing process. Still, the most negative impact comes from the mining of the rare earth metals that make your phone work. If you’re reading this on your phone right now, you’re holding about 0.034 grams of gold, 0.34 grams of silver, and smaller amounts of other rare elements. These are tiny amounts,but consider the demand for smartphones around the world.
All of these rare elements have to be mined from inside the Earth, in places like China and some African countries. Mining is hugely environmentally destructive: forests are destroyed, the ground is disturbed, and water quality in the area takes a dive.
Now take these environmental risks, and combine them with the fact that the average lifespan (使用寿命) of a smartphone is just two years, the length of your contract with your cell phone company. After that, if you’re lucky, you get a “free” upgrade. A wesome, right? Sure, if you ignore the fact that the environmental impact of a new phone is about the same as using your old one for a decade.
It’s nearly impossible to live in the 21st century without contributing to the destruction of the environment and climate change. I am guilty as well — eat meat and occasionally fly. But that doesn’t mean that we should stop trying to do better, or ignore the consequences of our actions. I urge you to think carefully about your next smartphone purchase no matter what those Black Friday ads may be trying to tell you.1. What does the author’s final decision refer to?
A ．Going ahead with getting a new phone.
B ．Taking action to help reduce pollution.
C ．Updating your phone’s operating system.
D ．Raising money for anew smartphone.
2. Why does the author list specific numbers in paragraph 2?
A ．To reveal the consequences of making smartphones.
B ．To analyze the causes of making new smartphones.
C ．To emphasize the huge demand for smartphones.
D ．To provide solutions to cutting smartphone use.
3. What message does the author convey in paragraph 4?
A ．It is economical to upgrade your device.
B ．The lifespan of smartphones is narrowed.
C．The upgrade comes at the expense of the environment.
D．Signing a contract spares users from economic pressure.
4. What is the author’s purpose in writing the passage?
A．To push for environmentally friendly smartphones.
B．To discourage businesses from making smartphones.
C．To advise readers not to change smartphones often.
D．To demonstrate the negative effects of smartphones.
文章大意：本文是一篇说明文，介绍了语法教学不应该停止，而应该改革。

14. It scarcely seems surprising that learning to underline a modal verb, such as “can”, and “may”, does little to help students use them effectively in their own writing. These words are anyway grasped by tiny children without the need to know what they are called. This may tempt the conclusion that the teaching of grammar should be shelved altogether. But there are reasons to reform it rather than throw it away.
Understanding of language is part of a wider education in what makes human beings human. How concepts are turned into sounds, and how those sounds combine to form commands or questions, are issues that have occupied many language experts. What they reveal about the mind has exercised psychologists and cognitive (认知的) scientists.
There are practical reasons to ask children to work hard at grammar, too. One is that a knowledge of it will make learning a foreign language easier. Even if you did know by nature how to make clauses in your native languages as a child — just without instruction — getting to grips with them in German or Russian in later years is simpler if you know how to define and spot them. As it is, many English-speakers come to understand grammar by studying a foreign language, rather than the other way round.
For grammarians keen on future jobs, the natural-language processing field is booming. After many years of poor results, technological wizards have developed programs for automated translation, speech recognition and other services that are actually usable, if far from perfect. These tools may rely more on knowledge of artificial intelligence than of the subjunctive, but linguistic (语言学的) expertise still matters, and may give beginners an edge over competitors whose best language is Python (编程).
Grammar could still be taught better. One small study showed improvement in some students when concepts are linked concretely to writing tasks. A cook does not need to know chemistry to make a delicious soup. But the science of how words combine to make meaning is fascinating and fundamental.
1. Why do some people consider stopping teaching grammar?
A．Teachers’ teaching methods are far from satisfactory.
B．It’s unnecessary for small kids to grasp modal verbs.
C．Drawing lines under words fails to be effective in learning.
D．Grammar Learning doesn’t bring obvious effect to writing.
2. Which of the following can replace the underlined phrase “getting to grips with” in paragraph 3?
A．Controlling.B．Mastering.
C．Holding on to.D．Dealing with.
3. When it comes to future jobs, grammarians believe _______.
A．a good command of Python is enough for programmers
B．the field of artificial technology still shows great promise
C．being expert in language means advantages in competition
D．computer geniuses will invent perfect tools to process language
4. What’s the main idea of this passage?
A．Grammar teaching shouldn’t be stopped but reformed.
B．Scientific study of human beings benefits from grammar.
C．Grammar helps children to learn foreign languages better.
D．There’s much room for improvement in grammar research.
文章大意：这是一篇新闻报道，vax被《牛津英语词典》选为英国年度单词，文章讲述了原因及vax的来源。

15. After analyzing 14.5 billion words used in daily news coverage in 2021, The Oxford English Dictionary has chosen “vax” as the Word of the Year.
Oxford Languages, the publisher of the dictionary, reported that “V ax”, the shortened term for “vaccine”, has injected itself into the bloodstream
of the English language, and is a catchy and punchy word for 2021.
A contributing factor to its rise in 2021— aside from its obvious relation to the COVID vaccine drive— is its adaptability, according to Fiona McPherson, a senior editor of The Oxford English Dictionary. It can mean either vaccine or vaccination as a noun and vaccinate as a verb, and it is the root of many other phrases such as “vax cards”, “vax passports”, and “getting vaxxied”. The word has also been changed into other inventive words like vaxxie, a selfie taken during or immediately before or after one’s vaccination. “It has made the most striking impact,” said Fiona MePherson.
V ax and vaxx are both accepted spellings, but the form with one x is more common. It was first recorded in English in 1799, while its derivatives (衍生词) “vaccinate” and “vaccination” both first appeared in 1800. All of these words ultimately came from the Latin word “vacca”, which means “cow”. According to The Oxford English Dictionary, this is due to English physician and scientist Edward Jenner’s pioneering work on vaccination against smallpox in the late 1790s and early 1800s.
“The word’s highest frequency in usage caught our attention first. Then we ran the analysis and a story started to emerge, revealing how ‘vax’sat at the centre of our preoccupations this year,” Casper Grathwohl, the president of Oxford Languages, said in an interview. “No word better captures the atmosphere of the year than ‘vax’”
1. Which of the following best describes the word vax?
A．Fixed.B．Complex.C．Adaptable.D．Boring.
2. What is the origin of the word vax?
A．Edward Jenner’s pioneering work.B．The Latin word vacca.
C．The Latin word cow.D．The Oxford English Dictionary.
3. Why is vax chosen as the Word of the Year?
A．It is from The Oxford English Dictionary.
B．It is accepted by Oxford Languages.
C．It appears most frequently in news.
D．It is reporters’ favorite word.
4. What does the text mainly talk about?
A．Choosing vax as the Word of 2021.
B．Making vax changeable.
C．Researching the origin of vax.
D．Analyzing vax in The Oxford English Dictionary.
