AOn Nov.18, 1995, Itzhak Perlman, the violinist, came on stage to give a concert. If you have ever been to a Perlman concert, you know that getting on stage is no small achievement for him. He was stricken with polio (小儿麻痹症)as a child, and so hewalks with the aid of two crutches.The audience sat quietly while he makes his way across the stage to his chair and begins his play. But this time, something went wrong. Just as he finished the first few bars, one of the strings on his violin broke. We thought that he would have to stop the concert. But he didn't. Instead, he waited a moment, closed his eyes and then signaled the conductor to begin again.Of course, anyone knows that it is impossible to play a pleasant work with just three strings. I know that, and you know that, but that night Itzhak Perlman refused to know that.When he finished, there was a breathtaking silence in the room. And then people rose and cheered.There was an extraordinary outburst of applause from every corner of the auditorium.He smiled, wiped the sweat from his brow and then he said—not proudly, but in a quiet, holy attitude —“You know, sometimes it is the artist's task to find out how much music you can still make with what you have left.”This powerful line has stayed in my mind ever since I heard it. And who knows? Perhaps that is the meaning of life—not just for artists but for all of us.So, perhaps our task in this fast­changing, puzzling world in which we live is to make music, at first with all that we have, and then, when that is no longer possible, to make music with what we have left.21. What made Itzhak Perlman's performance at the concert special on Nov.18, 1995?A. He was played an operation.B. He was late for the stage.C. He had a quarrel with the audience.D. His string of violin got broken.22. Why didn't Itzhak Perlman accept the fact on the stage?A. He was a person of self pride.B. He thought the audience didn't see that.C. He decided to succeed with fewest conditions.D. He didn't see the string get broken at all.23. Why did the audience give heated claps to Itzhak Perlman?A. They were moved by his disease.B. They were moved by his spirit.C. They were laughing at his action.D. They were encouraging him to cheer up.24. What is the best title for the passage?A. When you lose the most important thingB. How can you give it up easily?C. Playing a violin with three stringsD. Playing a violin to yourselfBFor years,mobile phones weren't much to lookat.The screens were small,and users needed topress the same key several times to type a singleletter in a text.Then,the first iPhone was released.Within six years,most people owned a smartphone—acceptingthe new technology perhapsfaster than ever.It suddenly became very easy topredict what most people would be doing in publicplaces.Today,smartphones seem indispensable.Theyconnect us to the Internet,give us directions,allowus to quickly fire off texts and can even help youfind the last hotel room when your plane isgrounded by a dust storm.Yet research hasshown that this convenience may be coming at acost.In the beginning,smartphone users would staytogether,sharing what was on their phones.Astime has gone on,there's been less of that and moreof what we call the alone together phenomenon. Then you become attracted by the world on thescreens.This is the new normal:Instead of visitingsomeone,you text them.Instead of getting togetherfor dinner withfriends to tell them about your recentvacation,you post the pictures to Facebook.It'sconvenient,but it cuts out some of the interaction (互动）that, as social animals, we want.One study asked college students to report ontheir mood five times a day.It was found that themore they had used Facebook,the less happythey were.Frequent smartphone users asked toput their phones face down on the table grewincreasinglyanxious as time passed.Accordingto another study,people whose partners were more frequently distracted(分心的）by their phones were less satisfied with their relationshipsand were more likely to feel depressed.Smartphones are a tool,and like most tools,they can be used in positive ways or negative ones.In moderation,smartphones are a convenienttechnology.Yet a different picture has also appearedover the past decade:Interacting with peopleface to face usually makes ushappy.Electroniccommunication often doesn't.25.What's the meaning of the underlined wordin Paragraph 2?A.Expensive.B.Necessary.C.Fashionable.D.Unusual.26. According to the passage,in the long run,smartphones will __________.A.make you feel happierB.have greater benefit than harmC.change your understanding of the worldD.lead to less face-to-face communication27. We can learn from Paragraph 4 that frequentuse of smartphones__________.A.can be harmful to people's mental healthB.help improve people's social skillsC.reduce people's interest in FacebookD.make people become independentCI love sleeping. It’s something I’m good at. There’s nothing better than nodding off on the sofa in front of the TV and when my head hits the pillow at night, I have no problem falling into a deep sleep within minutes. There is one place where I never nap(打盹) and that’s work – but new research suggests I should!The idea of you and your colleagues(同事) heading off for a lie-down in the afternoon may seem strange, but some companies such as Google and Facebook actually encourage it. Because it’s thought that a power-nap makes them more refreshed and more focused, and this in turn makes them more productive.An Australian health writer called Victoria is a founder of a campaign called Nap Now which is trying to make sleeping at work more acceptable. She calls herself a “naptivist”! She says: “I think that our culture is a bit crazy not to accept it. It’s time to end the common work principle which is all about working longer and harder.”So should we all take a sleeping bag and pillow to work with us? A few years ago, research by the East of England Development Agency found 30% of people have their best ideas in bed compared to just 11% who have them at their desks. That suggests people are more creative when they are relaxed and the agency has called for companies to put beds in the workplace.A nap in the afternoon is nothing new. In certain hot countries, such as Spain, a short rest or sleep in the afternoon, called a siesta, is quite normal. So maybe we should break from the traditional nine-to-five work culture and take a siesta. The UK’s Sl eep Council claims(声称) the nine-to-five working day does not fit into the natural sleeping pattern of the human race and says that bosses need to introducea more friendly working day for sleep.28. Why are the employees of Google allowed to nap in the workplace?A. They are expected to work better.B. They can’t focus their attention on the work.C. They support the Nap Now campaign.D. They have difficulty falling asleep at night.29. According to the passage, what can we learn about siesta?A. It is a newly introduced pattern.B. It has been taken up in Finland.C. It is sort of traditional work culture.D. It fits into the natural sleeping pattern.30. What is the author’s main purpose of writing the passage?A. To explain how to nap at work.B. To show how the new study was carried out.C. To tell us the importance of sleeping at work.D. To call for the more friendly work culture for sleep.第二节 (共5小题；每小题2分，共10分)根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题纸上将该项标号涂黑。
