21、You 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 smart phone addiction.

For some people, smart phones have liberated them from the nine-to-five work. Flexible working has given them more autonomy in their working lives and enabled them to spend more time with their friends and families. For many others though, smart phones have become cruel mastersin their pockets, never allowing them to turn them off and relax.

Pittsburgh-based developer Kevin Holesh was worried about how much he was ignoring his family and friends in favor of his iPhone. So he developed an app — Moment — to monitor his usage. The app enables users to see how much time they’re spending on the device and set up warnings if the usage limits are broken. “Moment’s goal is to promote balance in your life,” his website explains. “Some time on your phone, some time off it enjoying your loving family and friends around you.”

Dr. Christine Grant, an occupational psychologist at Coventry University, 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 connected smart phones is increasing, so is the amount of data. This is leading to a sort of decisionparalysis (瘫痪) and is creating more stress in the workplace because people have to receive a broader range of 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 all and feel they can never escape the office,” said Dr. Christine Grant.

【1】What’s the first paragraph mainly about?

A. The popularity of smart phones.

B. The progress of modern technology.

C. The signs of “always on” stress.

D. The cause of smart phone addiction.

【2】Kevin Holesh developed Moment to __________.

A. research how people use their mobile phones

B. help people control their use of mobile phones

C. make people better use mobile phones

D. increase the fun of using mobile phones

【3】What’s Dr. Christine Grant’s attitude towards “always on” culture?

A. Confused.   B. Positive.

C. Doubtful.   D. Critical.

【4】According to the last paragraph, a greater amount of data means __________.

A. we will become less productive

B. we can make a decision more quickly

C. we will be equipped with more knowledge

D. we can work more effectively

23、In cities like Beijing and Shanghai, online shopping is already a major part of daily life, leaving limited room for growth. As a result, e-commerce companies are increasingly turning to smaller cities and rural areas, where disposable income remains relatively high, in part due to lower living costs.

For example, Alibaba said its penetration(渗透)rate in developed parts of China is 85%, versus 40% in less developed areas. The company added that for the quarter ended June 30, more than 70% of the increase in annual active consumers was from those less developed areas.

Unlike urban residents, most rural Chinese have yet to experience e-commerce shopping. While that provides online platforms with one of the last untapped (未开发的)markets for e-commerce, progress has been slow due to the lack of infrastructure (基础设施) and logistics (物流)support, exacerbated by the lower population densities in rural areas.

Where the delivery infrastructure falls short, e-commerce companies have found other ways to reach consumers. Going door-to-door in sparsely populated villages can be a costly practice, so mini-distribution hubs like Rural Taobao can serve as pickup points. JD, which runs its own in-house logistics network, is making drones (无人机) that can bring up to 1 metric ton of packages to the rural areas, said the company’s chief technology officer last June.

The race to be the first U.S. company delivering packages via drone took a new turn earlier this summer, when Amazon’s Worldwide Consumer chief Jeff Wilke unveiled the company’s latest drone model at an event in Las Vegas. He pledged that Prime Air, Amazon’s drone delivery program, would be delivering packages to customers “in months.” Amazon appears to be throwing more resources into its drone aspirations than its competitors, which makes sense given that drone delivery could be very advantageous to Amazon’s core business. Certainly, it is impossible for China’s e-commerce giants to sit around waiting for his competitors in the race of setting up logistics network.

【1】The e-commerce companies are turning to smaller cities and rural areas because .

A．Online shopping in less developed cities has big potential to grow compared to big cities .

B．In rural areas, the living costs are lower.

C．People in rural areas have a great interest in online shopping.

D．There are not enough shops of good brand for people to visit in rural areas.

【2】What do we know about the e-commerce shopping in the rural areas of China ?

A．By the end of the year, over 70% of the increase in annual active consumers was from those less developed areas.

B．Unlike urban residents, most rural Chinese have experienced e-commerce shopping.

C．The online shopping in rural areas advances slowly mainly due to inadequate infrastructure and logistics support

D．Going door- to- door to send packages makes people pay more for online shopping.

【3】What does paragraph4 mainly tell us?

A．E-commerce companies have many ways to reach consumers everywhere.

B．JD is making drones to help send packages in rural areas.

C．Some ways to deliver packages in the places without adequate delivery infrastructure.

D．Delivery infrastructure falls short in the rural areas.

【4】If the passage continues, What will the following part be about ?

A．The approaches the e-commerce giants in China are taking to set up logistics network.

B．The possible results that Amazon’s drone will bring.

C．E-commerce giants will follow Amazon’s way to invest drones.

D．What JD is doing in setting logistics network.

24、In spring 2015, after 39 years with Columbia Pictures, I retired and found myself with lots of free time to spare.

I decided to use that time to volunteer. While tutoring with the adult literacy program at my local library, an advertising flyer for a neighborhood group called Westchester Villages caught my eye. Its main job is about matching aging neighbors with local volunteers who help them in a number of different ways: Making short visits, being a walking partner, or driving to doctors’ appointments and the like.

I am happy to offer myself as a responsible person and a comfort to someone who is nervous about their appointment and concerned about getting there safely on time. I’ m usually available to stay with the person I’m driving during their visit and accompany them back to my car for the ride home. These drives also can be ideal times for relaxing conversation. I’ve had many discussions with them, discovered many common interests, and heard numerous extended stories of past travels and family histories.

I often begin rides by comforting a nervous neighbor by calmly saying, “I know where we’re going, the most direct route, and the best place to park. You’re in good hands with me.” These driving experiences also have afforded me opportunities for reflection. I’ve come to feel united with the neighbors I have come to know, and a more eager awareness of the aging process we all share. In living through so much time with them, I realize I’m going through the same stages.

A final irony (讽刺) for this movie lover is that I no longer need to go to a darkened theatre and gaze at a big screen in search of high drama. Whether it’s a World War II-era family story or anxiety about current events or good news from a doctor, I experience all from a definitely front row seat.

【1】What did the author decide to do during his free time?

A．Work as a librarian.

B．Give rides for elderly people.

C．Making short visits to sick people.

D．Play matches with aging neighbors.

【2】Which of the following can best describe the author?

A．Creative and competent.

B．Talented and warm-hearted.

C．Devoted and considerate.

D．Ambitious and hard-working.

【3】What might the author’s driving experiences remind him of?

A．His own aging process.

B．A driver’s responsibility.

C．The value of conversations.

D．Passengers’ words of comfort.

【4】What can we infer from the last paragraph?

A．The author has been anxious about his health.

B．The author has no interest in dramas anymore.

C．The author prefers watching movies from a front row.

D．The author has found a new way of experiencing life.

A helicopter took me to hospital. I had broken one of my backbones, so I had a(n) ______ where the doctors inserted plates. The constant pain was agonizing (痛苦的), but it wasn’t as bad as seeing the pain and worry I put my family through. The recovery road was ______, but I was lucky.
