The first thing I do in the mornings is look at my phone. That’s mainly because my phone is my alarm clock, but once my eyes are open and that screen is lit up in my hands, it’s an awfully short trip to checking emails and perusing headlines. There’s no reason for me to be doing this. My emails that come early in the morning are mainly junk, and the headlines won’t change much before I’ve brushed my teeth and poured a cup of coffee, right?

My wife says I’m addicted to my phone, I disagree, but I can definitely stand to spend less time looking at it. I’m not terribly active on social media, but I do enjoy me some idle scrolling. And, wow, do these tech companies know how to keep those thumbs constantly swiping up? We’ve got a toddler, and while I think we’re pretty good about limiting her screen time, it would seem that technology has fascinated me from the start. So, I decided to try loosening my phone’s grasp on my attention by switching the screen to black and white.

Changing the display to black and white is very easy. In your iPhone’s settings (设置) , choose General (通用功能), then Accessibility (辅助功能). Next choose Display Accommodations (显示调节) , then Color Filters(滤镜). Tap the toggle(切换器) on and a list of filters appears. Choose Grayscale and you’re all set.

24. What is the actual reason for the author’s looking at his phone in the mornings?

A. He turns off his alarm clock.

B. He c an’t help doing so.

C. He has to check emails before they change.

D. He can have a short trip while scrolling it.

25. What does the author’s wife think of the time he spends using his phone?

A. Modest use

B. Over use

C. Under use

D. Adequate use

26. How does the author decrease to use his phone?

A. By changing the screen to black and white.

B. By limiting his screen time.

C. By ignoring the tech companies.

D. By looking after his daughter.

27. What’s the final step to set the phone to b lack and white?

A. Choose General.

B. Choose Accessibility.

C. Choose Grayscale.

D. Choose Color Filterst .

C

There is an old Chinese proverb that states “One Generation plants the trees; another gets the shade,” and this is how it should be with mothers and daughters. The relationship between a mother and daughter is sometimes confusing. If close, the relationship can be similar to friendship. However, the mother and daughter relationship has unique characteristics that distinguish it from a friendship. These characteristics include a hierarchy (等级) of responsibility and unconditional love, which preclude mothers and daughters from being best friends.

Marina, 27 years old, says, “I love spending time with my mom, but I wouldn’t consider her my best friend. Best friends don’t pay for your wedding. Best friends don’t remind you how they carried you in their body and gave you life! Best friends don’t tell you how wise they are because they have been alive at least 20 years longe r than you.” This doesn’t mean that the mother and daughter relationship can’t be very close and satisfying.

While some adult relationships are still troubled, many find them to be extremely rewarding. This generation of mothers and adult daughters has a lot in common which increases the likelihood of shared companionship. Mothers and daughters have always shared the common experience of being homemakers, responsible for maintaining and

passing on family values and traditions. Today contemporary mothers and daughters also share the experience of the workforce and technology, which may bring them even closer together.

Best friends may or may not continue to be best friends, but for better or worse, the mother and daughter relationship is permanent, even if for some unfortunate reason they aren’t speaking. The mother and child relationship is closer than any other. There is not an equal relationship. Daughters should not feel responsible for their mother’s emotional well-being. It isn’t that they don’t car e deeply about their mothers. It’s just that they shouldn’t be burdened with their mother’s well being.

The mother and daughter relationship is a relationship that is not replaceable by any other. Mothers never stop being mothers, which includes frequently wanting to protect their daughters and often feeling responsible for their happiness. Mother always “trumps”(王牌) friend.

28. The underlined word “preclude” in Paragraph 1 probably means “_________”.

A. differ

B. prevent

C. benefit

D. change

29. What do we know from the passage?

A. The mother and daughter relationship can be replaced by a best friend.

B. A mother’s love brings her and her daughter a close friendship.

C. The mother and daughter relationship goes beyond best friends’ friendship.

D. Marina has a troubled relationship with her mother.

30．The author proves his statements mainly by _________.

A. listing data

B. giving explanations

C. quoting sayings

D. making examples

31. What is the best title for the passage?

A. How to be a good mother and daughter？

B. Who is a mother’s best friend?

C. Mother or friend?

D. Can a mother be a daughter’s best friend?

D

To err is human. To blame the other guy is even more human.

Common sense is not all that common.

Why tell the truth when you can come up with a good excuse?

These three popular misquotes（误用的引语）are meant to be jokes, and yet they tell us a lot about human nature. To err, or to make mistakes, is indeed a part of being human, but it seems tha t most people don’t want to accept the responsibility for the problem. Perhaps it is the natural thing to do. The original quote about human nature went like this, “ To err is human, to forgive is divine（神圣的）”.This saying mirrors an ideal: People should be forgiving of others’ mistakes. Instead, we tend to do the opposite — find someone else to pass the blame on to. However, taking responsibility for something that went wrong is a making of great maturity（成熟）. Common sense is what we call clear thought. Having common sense means having a good general plan that will make things work well, and it also means staying with the plan. Common sense tells you that you take an umbrella out into a rainstorm, but you leave the umbrella home when you hear a weather forecast for sunshine. Common sense does not seem to be common for large organizations, because there are so many things going on that one person cannot be in charge of everything. People say that in a large company, “the right hand does not know what the left hand is doing.”

And what is wrong with a society that thinks that making up a good excuse is like creating a work of art? One of the common problems with making excuses is that people, especially young people, get the idea that it’s okay not to be totally honest all the time. There is a corollary（推论）to that: If a good excuse is “good” even if it isn’t honest, then where is the place of the truth?

32. According to the passage, which of the following seems the most human?

A. To search for truth.

B. To achie ve one’s ideal.

C. To make fun of others’ mistakes.

D. To criticize others for one’s own error.

33. According to the author, what is a sign of a man’s maturity?

A. Doing things his own way.

B. Making as few mistakes as possible.

C. Bearing responsibility for his mistakes.

D. Thinking seriously about his wrongdoing.

34. What is the author’s opinion about a good excuse?

A. Bitter truth is better than a good excuse.

B. A good excuse is as rewarding as honesty.

C. Inventing a good excuse needs creative ideas.

D. Making a good excuse is sometimes a better policy.

35. What would be the best title for this passage?

A. Truth or Excuse.

B. A Mark of Maturity.

C. To Blame or to Forgive.

D. A Mirror of Human Nature.

Dear Mr. Smith,

I am Li Hua, chairman of the Student Union of Xin Hua High School. Thank you for inviting us to visit your school next week, for which we do feel honored. Now I am writing for more detailed information.

Since it will be our first trip to Britain, we would like to know details about our accommodation arrangement. If possible, we prefer to live in host families to experience British culture. Besides, could you please e-mail our schedule to me at your convenience? Finally, in terms of Chinese traditional culture, considering that there is growing interest in Tang Poems, we plan to introduce this great cultural treasure. For better interaction, fellow students of your school can prepare some relative questions in advance.

I’d appreciate it if you could give us an early reply. Wish our interaction activity a great success!

Thank you for your attention! Best wishes!
