第二部分阅读理解（满分20分）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
You know the feeling that you have left your phone at home and feel anxious, as if you have lost your connection to the world. “Nomophobia” (无手机恐惧症) affects teenagers and adults alike. You can even do an online test to see if you have it. Last week, researchers from Hong Kong warned that nomophobia is infecting everyone. Their study found that people who use their phones to store, share and access personal memories suffer most. When users were asked to describe how they felt about their phones, words such as “hurt” (neck pain was often reported) an d “alone” predicted higher levels of nomophobia.
“The findings of our study suggest that users regard smartphones as their extended selves and get attached to the devices,” said Dr. Kim Ki Joon. “People experience feelings of anxiety and unpleasantness whe n separated from their phones.” Meanwhile, an American study shows that smartphone separation can lead to an increase in heart rate and blood pressure.
So can being without your phone really give you separation anxiety? Professor Mark Griffiths, psychologist and director of the International Gaming Research Unit at Nottingham Trent University, says it is what is on the phone that counts-the social networking that creates Fomo (fear of missing out).
“We are talking about an internet-connected device that allows people to deal with lots of
Griffiths thinks attachment theory, where we develop emotional dependency on the phone because it holds details of our lives, is a small part of nomophobia. For “screenagers”, it is Fomo that creates the most separation anxiety. If they can’t see what’s happening on Snapchat or Instagram, they become panic-stricken about not knowing what’s going on socially. “But they adapt very quickly if you take them on holiday and there’s no internet,” says Griffiths.
1、Which of the following may Dr. Kim Ki Joon agree with?
A．We waste too much time on phones.
B．Phones have become part of some users.
C．Addiction to phones makes memories suffer.
D．Phones and blood pressure are closely linked.
2、According to Giffiths, we get nomophobia because .
A．we are accustomed to having a phone on us
B．we need our phones to help us store information
C．we worry we may miss out what our friends are doing
D．we fear without phones we will run into a lot of trouble
3、Where can you probably find the above passage?
A．In a research report. B．In a fashion brochure.
C．In a science textbook. D．In a popular science magazine.
B

No matter how proud people are of their cultural roots, to speak anything 4 English is a marker of difference here. That’s why fourt een-year-old Umar is 5 when people comment on the fact that he is able to speak Arabic. Umar’s mother points out: ―In U.S.A, it’s not 6 for kids to be bilingual. But, if you speak another language to your children in U.S.A, it is thought that you are not helping them to 7 society.
But in fact, the general 8 among experts is that learning a second language is good for children. Experts believe that bilinguals – people who speak 9 languages – have a clear learning advantage 10 their monolingual schoolmates. This 11 on how much of each language they can speak, not on which language is used, 12 they are learning Arabic, French, Chinese or any other language.
Vinss Millon, a professor of Foreign Language Training, says: ―A lot of studies have 13 that children who speak more than one language sometimes learn one language more 14 , but in the end they do as well as their monolingual schoolmates, and often better, in other subjects. The view is that there is a(n) 15 from the effort of learning another language. A few other 16 agree that “Bilinguals tend to use language better as a whole. They also 17 greater creativity and problem-solving ability, and they learn further languages more easily”.
With all of the benefits, why do we not show more 18 for learning other languages? Parents and teachers 19 in bilingual education say it is pressure from friends at school, general 20 to other languages in English-speaking countries, and problems in the school system that are to blame.

I left home at 17 and pay my own way through college. In the past 20 years, I have worked for everything I needed.

It’s true that the jo b market is much more harder these days. Therefore, there are certainly some ways to make living on our own.

第四部分 写作（共两节）第一节 短文改错（满分10分） 1、 第二节 书面表达（满分25分） 1、With our lives getting better ，more students go home by car. However, I recommend that students should walk home after school. The following are some of the benefits. First ，taking a walk after spending several hours sitting in the classroom can strengthen our body and reduce the chance of getting fat. Second, walking home with classmates offers us more time to communicate with each other, so we can know more about each other. If someone gets in trouble, we can immediately offer help to him or her. In this way, we can develop a good relationship with our classmates, thus we will feel less stressed. Third, less air pollution will be caused if we stop going home by car. Besides, less money will be spent on transport. So please join me and let's walk home together after school.。
