26、From train tickets to doctor’s appointments, there’s a growing expectation that consumers should include technology in everyday life. We take it for granted that technology brings us closer and improves our access to essential products and services. But people who can’t or don’t want to engage with the latest technology are being left behind.

Technology should not be allowed to drive people to the side of their own lives, as many facts suggest is increasingly the case. For example, there have been reports that some elderly people no longer drive to their local parks, because they cannot download the car parking app required. Obviously, age is one big predictor of digital exclusion (数字排斥). Only 47% of those aged 75 and over use the Internet regularly. Out of the 4 million who have never used the Internet in the UK, only 300,000 people are under 55. But older people aren’t the only ones feeling shut out.

Concerns about privacy can stop people using technology as well. A survey into consumers’ trust in businesses showed no industry reached a trust rating of 50% for data protection. Some people view “forced” digitalization as a symbol of consumer culture and limit their contact with it; also, many people take a “less is more” approach to technology simply because they feel it offers a more meaningful existence. They all belong to a population group that often slips people’s mind in related discussions. No one could discount, however, one factor — poverty. Some regions, particularly rural ones, even struggle for phone signals. The UK phone network’s plans for a digital switchover could cut off people who rely on their landlines.

The solution is not simply to give devices to those without smart technology. While there’s a need to provide affordable Internet access and technology, we need to recognize diversity in society. Services should provide non-digital selections that reflect equality. Local councils, healthcare providers and businesses should understand more about the diversity of consumers and develop services that meet the needs of all people. After all, access to and inclusion in society is a human right.

【1】Why is the example of the elderly mentioned in paragraph 2?

A．To provide a proof.

B．To explain a fact.

C．To make a comparison.

D．To confirm a prediction.

【2】Who are most easily ignored in terms of digital exclusion?

A．Those worrying about privacy issues.

B．Those trying to use technology less.

C．Those opposing digitalization in life.

D．Those failing to access smart technology.

【3】What does the author suggest in the last paragraph?

A．Slowing the pace of the technological shift.

B．Asking for opinions from diverse consumers.

C．Improving access to the Internet and technology.

D．Offering services with online and offline options.

【4】Which can be the best title for the text?

A．Life sees two-edged effect from digitalization

B．Social barriers arise following technological shifts

C．Technology is excluding a significant minority

D．The digital divide grows into a common problem

27、How to bring nature to your school—in a big way!

Interested in building a schoolyard habitat? 【1】

Gather a Team

Students can do a lot on their own, but you’ll need adults for a project this big. Get teachers, parents, and even the headmaster interested. They know more about your school’s yard than anyone else and can give you lots of help.【2】

【3】

Which part of the schoolyard can you turn into a habitat? Is there an unused corner of the playground? You’ll need to make a map of the area showing what’s there now. Then you can figure out how you want to change it. For that, you need a plan.

Plan a Habitat

【4】

Food: Plant flowers, bushes, and trees. These provide food for birds ,insects and small animals. Where possible, stick with native plants—wild plants that grow naturally in your area. They need less care, which means less work for you.

Water: A small pond, birdbath, or even a shallow dish of clean water in the ground will attract birds.

Shelter: Bushes and trees make great escapes for birds. Tall grass and “weeds” are home to grasshoppers, garter snakes, and some ground-nesting birds.

Places to Raise Young: Butterflies need special plants to lay their eggs on. Frogs lay eggs only in shallow water. Many birds use birdhouses; others nest in trees and bushes. 【5】

A．Map Your Site

B．Build Your Design

C．Here’s how to get started.

D．So, set a date and get growing.

E．Here’s what you’ll need to make your area attractive to wildlife.

F．In fact, nearly all your shelters may become homes for wild young.

G．Also, ask around your neighborhood or others willing to give advice.

29、   Poets, songwriters and left-wing politicians hate the idea, but for decades, opinion-poll evidence has been clear: money buys happiness and the richer you are, the more likely you are to express satisfaction with your life. Until now, a survey of 43 countries published on October 30th by the Pew Research Centre shows that people in emerging markets are within a whisker of(一步之遥) expressing the same level of satisfaction as people in rich countries. It is in line with the standard view of happiness and income seen so far.

According to the survey, in 2007, 57%of respondents in rich countries regarded themselves as happy; in emerging markets the share was 33% ;in poor countries only 16%-a classic expression of the standard view. But in 2017,54% of rich-country respondents counted themselves as happy, whereas in emerging markets the percentage jumped to 51%.

The sharp increase happened thanks to huge improvements in countries such as Indonesia(+35) and Pakistan(+22).In 12 of the 24 emerging markets, half or more people rate their life satisfaction in the top of the ladder.

This is not to say the link between income and satisfaction has been snapped. Poor countries still lag behind: only a quarter of the people there count themselves as happy-half the level of the other two groups. There is also a clear link between happiness and income growth. China’s GDP rose at an annual average rate of 10% in 2007-2017 and its happiness level rose 26 points.

Within countries, richer people express more satisfaction than their poorer neighbors. The study divided respondents into categories with higher and lower incomes and fewer and more household goods. In every country in every group, richer folk with more goods expressed higher levels of happiness. So at a personal level, money does buy happiness. And if you ask people about different aspects of their lives-health, family life, religion, standard of living-it turns out that satisfaction with living standards still has the biggest influence on happiness.

【1】What led to the increase of happiness in emerging markets?

A.Economic downturn.

B.Investment in emerging markets.

C.Their rapid development.

D.More cooperation with rich countries.

【2】What's the purpose of the writer by mentioning China's GDP?

A.To show that there is a link between happiness and income growth.

B.To remind readers of the great progress that China has made.

C.To express the author's concern about the development of emerging markets.

D.To prove that China's GDP growth contributed to the happiness of people in Asia.

【3】What's the standard view of happiness and income?

A.Income is not closely related to happiness.

B.Happiness does not depend on how much money you earn.

C.The higher your income is, the more likely you will feel satisfied.

D.The more you are satisfied, the more you can earn every month.

【4】What is the author's attitude to the standard view of happiness and income?

A.Disappointed. B.Doubtful. C.Indifferent. D.Supportive.

32、Directions: Read the following passage. Summarize the main idea and the main points of the passage in no more than 60 words. Use your own words as far as possible.

A new study of 8,000 young people in the Journal of Health and Social Behavior shows that although love can make adults live healthily and happily, it is a bad thing for young people. Puppy love (早恋) may bring stress for young people and can lead to depression. The study shows that girls become more depressed than boys, and younger girls are the worst of all.

The possible reason for the connection between love and higher risk of depression for girls is “loss of self”. According to the study, even though boys would say “lose themselves in a romantic relationship”, this “loss of self” is much more likely to lead to depression when it happens to girls. Young girls who have romantic relationships usually like hiding their feelings and opinions. They won’t tell that to their parents.

Dr Marianm Kaufman, an expert on young people problems, says 15% to 20% young people will have depression during their growing. Trying romance often causes the depression.

She advises kids not to jump into romance too early. During growing up, it is important for young people to build strong friendships and a strong sense of self. She also suggests the parents should encourage their kids to keep close to their friends, attend more interesting school activities and spend enough time with family.

Parents should watch for signs of depression—eating or mood changes—and if they see signs from their daughter or son, they need to give help. The good news is that the connection between romance and depression seems to become weak with age. Love will always make us feel young, but only maturity gives us a chance to avoid its bad side effects.
