AAn interesting study posted on Facebook recently shows how men and women develop new interests as they age.While women tend to take exercise seriously from the age of 34, men will wait until their 45th birthdays before working hard to get in shape. The average woman spends more time talking about sports, politics, career and money as she gets older. Women’s interest in books reaches its peak (顶峰) at the age of 22, while that of men does so when they are in their 50s. Men start to change their focus from the workplace to other things after age 30, while women donot do so until eight years later. Both, however, care most about fashion at age 16.The research used data donated by thousands of Facebook users, recording the ‘likes’ and “interests’ they had posted on their personal home page.It found the average woman talks about television most at 44, while men peak much younger, at age 31. Men are most interested in travel at 29, women at 27, while women talk most about food and drink at 35, and men at 38. And if you are middle-aged, a safe topic for anyone is the weather, which is a key interest for many as they reach 60.Stephen Wolfram, the British scientist who carri ed out the research, says, “It’s almost shocking how much this tells us about the changes of people’s typical interests. People talk less about video games as they get older, and more about politics.”21. Men tend to once they are 45.A. gain more and more weightB. be less interested in their jobsC. take more exerciseD. pay more attention to their looks22. What are men and women both interested in when they are 16?A. Getting in shape.B. Going to the cinema.C. Food and drink.D. Popular style of clothing.23. What does Stephen Wolfram want to tell us in the last paragraph?A. People’s interests change greatly with age.B. People’s interests are different from each other.C. It is normal for people to talk about politics.D. It is not good for people to change their interests.BEvery November, Time magazine picks out what it calls “The 25 Best Inventions” of the year. These are the things that have made our lives different in one way or another. Here, we have chosen three of the most interesting ones on the list.Ember MugIt’s hard to always keep coffee at the right temperature, especially in winter. It’s too hot to drink at first, but before we know it, it gets too cold and loses all its taste. According to Time, theperfect level of warmth for a cup of coffee only lasts for 37 seconds, which makes the Ember Mug a great invention. It keeps your coffee at a certain temperature, anywhere between 48°C and 62°C, once you set it through a smartphone app.Tasty One TopTV cooking shows make it look so easy, but it’s almost impossible to get the recipes (食谱) to look the same as how the cooks make them. However, the Tasty One Top DIY cooking companion is here to help. Developed by Buzzfeed, the cooker can be connected to a smartphone app, which has more than 1,700 recipes and videos. You choose a recipe and the app will let the cooker know what to do.JiboDifferent from faceless smart speakers like Xiaomi and Amazon, Jibo has brought smart technology to life. Said to be “the world’s first social robot for the home”, Jibo looks like a cartoon character with a round body, a round head and a voice that sounds like a 10-year-old boy. Jibao is able to recognize faces and speech. Jibo will move to face you whenever you talk to it. It can also remind you of important things, tell you the weather and read news or messages from your friends and family.24. Why is the Ember Mug a great success?A.

The HR manager interviewed him and then watched him cleaning the floor as a test.“You are employed,” he said. “Give me your e-mail address and I’ll send you the application to fill in, as well as date when you may start.”The man replied, “But I don’t have a computer, neither an e-mail.”“I’m sorry,” said the HR manager. “If you don’t have an e-mail, that means you do not exist. And a person who doesn’t exist cannot have the job.”The man left with no hope at all. With only ten dollars in his pocket, he decided to go to the supermarket and buy 10kg tomatoes. He then sold the tomatoes from door to door. In less than two hours, he succeeded to double his capital. He repeated the operation three times, and returned home happily with 60 dollars.The man realized that he could survive in this way, and started to go every day early, and return late. Thus, his money doubled or tripled every day. Shortly, he bought a cart, then a truck, and then he had his own delivery vehicles. Five years later, the man was one of the biggest food retailers (零售商人) in the US.He started to plan his family’s future and decided to have a life insurance. He called an insurance broker (经纪人) and chose a protection plan.When the conversation ended, the broker asked him his e-mail. The man replied, “I don’t have an e-mail.”The broker answered surprisingly, ‘‘You don’t have an e-mail, and yet have succeeded to build an empire. Can you imagine what you could have been if you had an e-mail?” The man thought for a while and replied, “Yes, I’d be an office boy at Microsoft!”28. Why couldn’t the man have the job at Microsoft?A. Because he was lazy.B. Because he didn’t pass the test.C. Because he didn’t have an e-mail.D. Because he didn’t have a computer.29.

Which proverb can best describe the story?A. Misfortune may be an actual blessing.B. Where there is a will, there is a way.C. Accidents will happen.D. No pains, no gains.DYou get anxious if there’s no wi-fi in the hotel or mobile phone signal up the mountain. You feel upset if your phone is getting low on power, and you secretly worry things will go wrong at work if you’re not there. All these can be called “always on” stress caused by smartphone addiction.For some people, smartphones have freed them from the nine-to-five work. They have more freedom in their working lives and they are able to spend more time with their friends andfamilies. For many others, though, smartphones have become tyrants (暴君) in their pockets, never allowing them to turn them off and relax.Pittsburgh-based developer Kevin Holesh was worried that he was spending too much time on his iPhone over his family and friends. So he developed an app, Moment, to monitor his usage. The app enables users to see how much time they’re spending on the phones and set up warnings if the usage limits are broken. “Moment’s goal is to improve balance in your life,” he explains. “Some time on your phone, some time off it, enjoying your loving family and friends around you.”Dr Christine said, “The effects of this “always on” culture are that your mind is never resting, and you’re not giving your body time to recover, so you’re always stressed. And the more tired and stressed we get, the more mistakes we make. Physical and mental health can suffer.”And as the number of smartphones is increasing, so is the amount of data. This is leading to a sort of decision paralysis (瘫痪) and is creating more stress in the workplace because people have to receive more data and communications which are often difficult to manage. “It actually makes it more difficult to make decisions and many do less because they’re controlled by it alla nd feel they can never escape the office,” said Dr Christine.32.

Kevin Holesh developed Moment to .A. research how people use their mobile phonesB. warn people to spend more time with their familyC. help people control their use of mobile phonesD. increase the fun of using mobile phones34.

According to the last paragraph, a greater amount of data means .A. we can make a decision more quicklyB. we will become less productiveC. we will control ourselves betterD. we can work more effectively第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填人空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。
