I used to be part of the group of “no phone calls allowed”, but now I’m used to turning on my phone’s ring (响铃声)． Some of my friends usually call me at night． Then come anywhere from 20 minutes to two hours of conversations that include everything from pop culture and our days at work to our friends． It’s like being transported back to high school in the 1990s, where you would call your classmates secretly at night． When it’s finally time to end these conversations, with a silly smile on my face, I’m ready to sleep．

Why do these feelings come with a phone call, but not with a night of texting or messaging? It might be because in our culture of busyness, someone taking time out to have a non-necessary phone conversation means they’re saying “You matter to me”． Neuroscientist Dr Lila Landowski says, “When we talk to people we care about—whether in person or over the phone—our brain produces oxytocin (催产素)． Oxytocin is responsible for (对……负责) that feeling of being close and connected to someone． And it also makes us feel better by reducing the levels of stress hormones (荷尔蒙) in our body． Text messaging doesn’t seem to have similar effects．”

But people born after 1988 seldom answer their phones． Growing up with mobile phones and messaging, they believe a phone call means less time to think about how to reply, more possibility of hurting another person, and of course more awkward (尴尬的) silence．

Yet it would seem that those who avoid the phone call are missing out． Professor Barbara Keys says research has shown that phone calls make people feel wanted, needed, included and involved (参与的)． That’s certainly the case for me． I no longer see a night at home as a boring time to be filled with a TV show I’m only half-interested in． Tonight, a phone call means I’ll discover something new about someone I care about, and laugh at least three times．

34．What do we know about the writer in Paragraph 1?

A．He calls others only when necessary．

B．He misses his high school classmates．

C．He enjoys the phone calls from his friends．

D．He finds it hard to sleep when he feels excited．

35．How does oxytocin influence people?

A．It makes us feel connected to others．   B．It processes text information．

C．It increases stress hormone levels．       D．It helps us express ourselves clearly．

36．Which would the writer agree with according to Paragraph 3?

A．Young people seldom miss others’ calls．

B．Young people prefer to make friends online．

C．Young people heavily depend on mobile phones．

D．Young people dislike answering phone calls these days．

37．What’s the best title for the passage?

A．Before you pick up your phone, think twice

B．If you avoid phone calls, you’re missing out

C．What happens in our brain when we call others

D．How communications have changed over time

C

One day in autumn Squire Gordon, my master, went on a trip into town． John, my caretaker, went with him． I pulled the cart． The weather was rainy and windy, but we travelled happily．

Gordon’s business took a long time． We didn’t leave until late afternoon． The wind was then much higher． My master said to John, “I have never been out in such a storm!” Mr Gordon and John could not see well in the rain．

We came to a wooden bridge． It was very nearly dark． We could just see that the water was over the middle of the bridge． But as that happened sometimes when the floods were out, master did not stop． The moment my feet touched the first part of the bridge, I felt sure there was something wrong． I dare (敢于) not go forward, and I made a dead stop． “Go on, Beauty,” said my master, and he gave me a touch with the whip (鞭子), but I dare not move． He gave me a sharp cut and I jumped, but I dare not go forward．

“There’s something wrong, sir,” said John, and he got out and tried to lead me forward． “Come on, Beauty．” But I knew that the bridge was not safe．

Just then the man on the other side saw us．

“Hey! Halloo! Stop!” he cried．

“What’s the matter?” shouted my master．

“The bridge is broken in the middle, and part of it is carried away． If you go onto it, you’ll be into the river．”

“Thank you for saving us, Beauty!” said John． He gently turned me round to the right hand road by the river side． It grew darker and darker, stiller and stiller．

When we returned home the Squire told Mrs Gordon, “Black Beauty saved our lives． He knew the bridge was dangerous．”

John took me to the stable． Oh! What a good supper he gave me that night! What a nice bed of straw! I was glad of it, for I was tired．

— Adapted from Black Beauty

Think about how much time you spent outside last week． Really “outside．” Walking from the car into the mall doesn’t count．

Now think about how much time you spent indoors—on the Internet or playing video games or watching TV．

You may say, “I play inside more than outside and I like to play games on the computer．”

If so, it’s likely that you spent more time inside four walls than outside in fresh air． Kids today spend two fewer hours per week on sports and outdoor activities than kids did 20 years ago． That’s according to a University of Michigan study． Non-moving activities are more popular． The costs “include overweight, greater stress, higher rates of physical and emotional illness and less joy…,” says Richard Louv, writer of Last Child in the Woods: Saving Our Children from Nature-Deficit Disorder．

Play is important, even for adults．

Outdoor activity betters your senses． The next time you sit down to message your friends, take note of your senses during and after your texting． Then do the same experiment after you’ve done something outside． You will find being outdoors brings the senses to life． “Hiking, exploring, and fishing help hone all of your senses,” says Betsy Keller． She’s a professor of exercise and sports sciences at Ithaca College in New York． “Smell, sight．．． all of your senses are in use when you’re outside．”

Outdoor play frees your mind． Are you stressed out? Having trouble devoting your mind to what you’re doing? Too much time indoors — away from the natural world — may be a cause． Louv uses a term to describe the set of problems caused by too much time indoors: nature deficit disorder． He says, “I use it to describe the price we pay for being so separated from nature．”

Spending time outdoors brings you closer to the environment． When you’re out, breathe in fresh air, hear the leaves crackle underfoot and search cool birds and plants in the woods． It can help you feel more connected to the natural world． No woods nearby? Nature can be found right outside your back door or in your local park．

So the next time you sit down to spend quality time with a video game, consider treating yourself to a little outdoor play instead．

42．How does the writer first introduce the topic of outdoor play?

A．By presenting the results of a recent study．

B．By introducing different kinds of outdoor play．

C．By inviting the reader to think about his or her own case．

D．By telling the reader outdoor play is good for body and mind．

43．Which sentence should go in the empty box in Paragraph 5?

A．Outdoor play helps form relationships．

B．Just getting outdoors does wonders．

C．Nature can remind us of life beyond our worries．

D．The outdoors is the best place to practise physical skills．

44．Which word is closest to the meaning of “hone” in Paragraph 6?

A．improve           B．limit                      C．produce                  D．organize

45．Which of the following is a good way to enjoy outdoor play?

A．Walking from your car into the mall．

B．Spending your quality time with TV drama series．

C．Playing a video game of making sandcastles by the beach．

D．Watching in your local park how fast the clouds are moving．

Don’t try and be happy, it will only make you sad． Pretending to try to keep a smile on your face will only make your s    61    worse, a new study suggests．

Feeling happy has become the only aim for many people in recent years, but fully a    62     your sadness may be better．

University of Melbourne researchers said that avoiding being sad could be h    63     for sufferers of the blues．

Dr Brock Bastian, a psychologist behind the study, said:“The more happy the country, the w    64     the depression．”

Rather than being the by-product of a life well-lived, feeling happy has become a goal i    65     itself． This emphasizes (强调) the message that we should aim to improve our positive emotions and a    66     the negative ones． Society needs to change i    67     attitude on depression, Dr Bastian hinted (示意)． He added that people have become so used to not showing signs of weakness as social media being used to celebrate achievements．

For the study p    68     in the journal (期刊) Depression and Anxiety, the researchers tested 112 depressed p    69    ． Each volunteer was asked to test their levels of the blues and how m    70     stress they faced to be happy． They were followed over a period of one month．

The Future of Chinese

Do you know that one fifth of the planet speaks Chinese now? About 873 million people speak it at home in China． Outside China, people in Singapore, Malaysia and some other Asian countries also speak Chinese．That makes Chinese the most widely used first language in the world．

Many foreigners visit China, and many countries trade China． China is a world leader, and so many people will learn Chinese and speak Chinese as an international language．

参考答案

1．A

【详解】句意：埃里克是一位精力充沛的足球运动员，他来自一个欧洲国家。

考查冠词用法。energetic是以元音音素开头，应用an；European是以辅音音素开头，应用a。故选A。

2．D

【详解】句意：——你觉得这部电影怎么样？——非常好。我们再怎么赞扬也不过分。

考查情态动词。mustn’t禁止；needn’t不必；couldn’t不能；can’t不能；so如此；too太。根据“It’s very good”可知这部电影非常好，此处是结构“can’t/couldn’t．．．too much”，意为“再……也不为过”，句子是一般现在时，此处用can’t。故选D。

…………
