三、阅读理解（共22小题, 每小题2分，满分24分）

Phantom vibrations-the phenomenon where you think your phone is vibrating but it's not-have been around since the mobile age. Today, they’re so common th at researchers have devoted studies to them．

For Valerie Kusler, who works on a cattle farm, the feeling is complicated by the cows“The cows’moo is very muffled, it kinda sounds like…errrr,”she says.“So that's very similar to what my phone sounds like when it vibrates on my desk or in my purse.”

Other people may not confuse cows for their phones, but research shows phantom vibration symptom is a near-universal experience for people with smartphones.

Nearly 90 percent of college undergraduates in a 2012 study said they felt phantom vibrations. The number was just as high for a survey of hospital workers, who reported feeling phantom vibrations on either a weekly or monthly basis．

“Something in your brain is being triggered（触发）that's different than what was triggered just a few short years ago,”says Dr Larry Rosen, a research psychologist who studies how technology affects our minds.

“If you'd asked me 10 years ago, or maybe even five years ago if I- felt an itch beneath where my pocket of my jeans was, and asked me what I would do, I'd reach down and scratch it because it was probably a little itch caused by the neurons firing（神经元刺激），”he says. Now, of course, the itch triggers him to reach for his phone. Rosen says it's an example of how our devices are changing how our brains process information．

“we’re seeing a lot of what looks like obsessive behavior. People who are constantly picking up their phone look like they have an obsession. They don't look much different from someone who's constantly washing their hands. I’m not saying that it is an obsession, but I’m saying that it could turn into one, very easily," Rosen says.

While 9 out of 10 participants in the study of college students said the vibration feeling bothered them only a little or not at all, Rosen still recommends backing away from our phones every once

in a while to keep our anxiety levels down.

“One of the things I’m really adamant about in spite of being very pro-technology, is just away from the technology for short periods," Rosen says．"And by short periods. I mean; maybe just 30 minutes or an hour.”

21．According to the article, phantom vibrations_____．

A. are mainly caused by neurons firing

B. affect people mostly working on farms

C. help our brains better process information

D. started troubling people in recent years

22．The underlined word "adamant" in the last paragraph probably means_____.

A. curious

B. determined

C. satisfied

D. cautious

23．It can be concluded from Larry Rosen's research that_____.

A. phantom vibrations could probably result in obsessive behavior

B. the use of smart phones has completely changed the way our minds work

C. most people feel uncomfortable when they experience phantom vibrations

D. hospital workers are more likely to suffer from phantom vibrations than students 24．According to Larry Rosen, the most effective measure against phantom vibrations is to_____．

A. move to a quieter neighborhood

B. stop using smartphones in poor condition

C. take a break from using smartphones occasionally

D. keep a close watch on your anxiety levels

Your body, which has close relations with the food you eat, is the most important thing you own, so it needs proper treatment and proper nourishment (营养). The old saying “An apple a day keeps the doctor away”is not as silly as some people think. The body needs fruit and vegetables because they contain vitamin C. Many people take extra vitamins in pill form, believing that these will make them healthy.

But a good diet is made up of nourishing food and this gives all the vitamins you need. The body doesn’t need or use extra vitamins, so why waste money on them?

In the modern western world, many people are too busy to bother about eating properly. They

throw anything into their stomachs, eating hurriedly and carelessly. The list of illnesses caused or made worse by bad eating habits is frightening.

25．“Your body has close relations with the food you eat.”It really means that ______.

A. all kinds of food you eat can be made into your body

B. what you eat has great effect on your health

C. your body is made up of the food you eat

D. the more you eat, the fitter you will feel

26．The old saying referred to in the passage tells us that ______.

A. eating apples regularly does lots of good to our health

B. the apple is the best among all kinds of fruits

C. apples can take the place of doctors

D. an apple is a sure cure for illness

27．In the second paragraph, the writer tries to let us know ______.

A. our bodies need food or we can’t live

B. often eating apples is a good habit

C. taking extra vitamin pills is completely useless

D. a good diet is of great importance for our health

28．In the modern western countries ______.

A. people don’t want to pay more attention to their eating

B. people throw everything into their stomachs without chewing

C. lots of people’s illnesses are caused or made worse by bad eating habits

D. people are only too busy to cook meals for themselves

29．From the passage we can draw a conclusion that if we want to keep healthy, we should ______.

A. only eat an apple a day

B. eat properly

C. take as many vitamin pills as possible

D. throw something into our stomachs slowly and carefully

Friends and family send birthday cards. Sending birthday cards is a custom (风俗) that began in England about 100 years ago.

The birthday child will have a party to which friends and family are invited. Visitors to the party bring presents for the birthday child. The children play games such as musical chairs and pass the parcel (包裹).

The Bumps (碰撞)

It used to be traditional for the birthday child to have the bumps. Friends would hold the child by the legs and under the arms and lift the child up and down bumping them gently on the ground.

Wealth starts with a goal saving a dollar at a time. Call it the piggy bank strategy(策略). There are lessons in that time-honored coin-saving container.

Any huge task seems easier when reduced to baby steps. I f you wished to climb a 12,000-foot mountain, and could do it a day at a time, you would only have to climb 33 feet daily to reach the top in a year. If you want to take a really nice trip in 10 years for a special occasion, to collect the $15,000 cost, you have to save $3.93 a day. If you drop that into a piggy bank and then once a year put $1,434 in a savings account at 1% interest rate after-tax, you will have your trip money.

When I was a child, my parents gave me a piggy bank to teach me that, if I wanted something, I should save money to buy it. We associate piggy banks with children, but in many countries, the little containers are also popular with adults. Europeans see a piggy bank as a sign of good fortune and wealth. Around the world, many believe a gift of a piggy bank on New Year’s Day brings good luck and financial success. Ah, but you have to put something in it.

Why is a pig used as a symbol of saving? Why not an elephant bank, which is bigger and holds more coins? In the Middle Ages, before modern banking and credit instruments, people saved money at home, a few coins at a time dropped into a jar or dish. Potters(制陶工) made these inexpensive containers from an orange-colored clay(黏土) called “pygg,”and folks saved coins in pygg jars. The Middle English word for pig was “pigge”. While the Saxons pronounced pygg, referring to the clay, as “pug”, eventually the two words changed into the same pronunciation, sounding the “i”as in pig or piggy. As the word became less associated with the orange clay and

more with the animal, a clever potter fashioned a pygg jar in the shape of a pig, delighting children and adults. The piggy bank was born.

Originally you had to break the bank to get to the money, bringing in a sense of seriousness into savings. While piggy banks teach children the wisdom of saving, adults often need to relearn childhood lessons. Think about the things in life that require large amounts of money--- college education, weddings, cars, medical care, starting a business, buying a home, and fun stuff like great trips. So when you have money, take off the top 10%, put it aside, save and invest wisely. 34．What is the piggy bank strategy?

A. Paying 1% income tax at a time.

B. Setting a goal before making a travel plan.

C. Aiming high even when doing small things.

D. Putting aside a little money regularly for future use.

35．Why did the writer’s parents give him a piggy bank as a gift?

A. To delight him with the latest fashion.

B. To encourage him to climb mountains.

C. To help him form the habit of saving.

D. To teach him English pronunciation.

36．What does the underlined word “something”(Paragraph 3) most probably refer to?

A. Money

B. Gifts

C. Financial success

D. Good luck

37．The piggy bank originally was _________.

A. a potter’s instrument

B. a cheap clay container

C. an animal-shaped dish

D. a pig-like toy for children

38．The last paragraph talks about ________.

A. the seriousness of educating children

B. the enjoyment of taking a great trip

C. the importance of managing money

D. the difficulty of starting a business

A Japanese company has ordered its employees to get the same hairstyles--- to help save energy.

Tokyo-based Maeda Corporation has announced the move as part of a national campaingn to cut energy use.

Since Fukushima nuclear plant was destroyed in the earthquake and tsunami that struck Japan in March, 2011, the county’s government has asked its people to slash their energy consumption. Men are expected to sport a short back-and-sides, slightly longer on the top, while women have been asked to wear short hair with a fringer (刘海) that can be swept to one side.

Chizuru Inoue, a spokesman for Maeda Crop, said: “Our company is very devoted to protecting the environment and we encourage our staff to adopt many environment-friendly actions.”

“We are not sure of the data yet, but we believe if people have short hair they do not need to use their hairdryers for so long and they will use less water. If all our staff do this, then it may save a lot of power.”

There is another advantage for employees of the construction firm, Ms. Inoue added, as it is easier to make short hair neat again after staff had been wearing hard hats. She said a lot of staff had been calling for information on where they can get their hair cut in the correct style.

Following the Fukushima nuclear disaster in March, Japan has been struggling to produce enough electricity for the tsunami ended production at the Fukushima plant. The disaster resulted in a review of the country’s energy policy tha t now means less than a quarter of its remaining nuclear plants are in use. The government has talked about a move away from nuclear energy towards more sustainable (可持续性的) technologies. Many government institutions have taken measures to save power, including a reduced use of air-conditioning in offices and schools.

39．What does the underlined word ”slash”in Paragraph 2 probably mean?

A. Stop

B. Maintain

C. Change

D. Reduce

40．According to Chizuru Inoue, there are ____ advantages for the employees to have short hair.

A. 2

B. 3

C. 4

D. 5

41．What can we infer from the last paragraph?

A. Japan can provide enough electricity for its people.

B. The present situation of Japan’s energy is worrying.

C. Sustainable technologies are replacing nuclear energy.

D. One fourth of Japan’s nuclear plants are out of order.

42．What’s the main idea of the text?

A. Japan takes steps to protect the environment.

B. Japan is moving towards sustainable technologies.

C. A Japanese company takes measures to save energy.

D. Japan starts a campaign to save energy across the country.

22．B词意推测题。A. curious“好奇的”；B. determined“坚决的；决定了的”；C. satisfied “满意的”；D. cautious“谨慎的，小心的”，根据该段语意可知，尽管Rosen是支持科技的，但确实对一件事报以坚决的态度——要离开手机一会儿，30分钟或者一个小时。即通过表示让步的状语in spite of being very pro-technology，可以推知“远离手机一会儿”是Rosen 报以坚决态度的一件事，故正确答案为B.

23．A细节推理题。根据文章倒数第三段Rosen所说的话，“I’m not saying tha t it is an obsession, but I’m saying that it could turn into one, very easily”，可知错觉手机震动很可能会导致强迫症的出现。故正确答案为A.

24．C细节信息题。根据文章最后两段可知，Rosen对于错觉手机震动所给出的调节方法--要偶尔远离你的手机。故正确答案为C.

试题分析:正如不积跬步无以至千里，不积小流无以成江海。财富也是这样，需要从点滴做起。在本文中作者介绍了the piggy bank strategy也就是存钱策略，并介绍了the piggy bank 的起源和目的，号召人们都养成储蓄的好习惯。

34．D推理判断题。根据文章第二段中If you wished to climb a 12,000-foot mountain, and could do it a day at a time, you would only have to climb 33 feet daily to reach the top in a year. If you want to take a really nice trip in 10 years for a special occasion, to collect the $15,000 cost, you have to save $3.93 a day.可知作者用这个例子告诉我们piggy bank strategy就是指每天都存一点钱以备未来之用，选D。

35．C细节理解题。根据第三段第一句When I was a child, my parents gave me a piggy bank to teach me that, if I wanted something, I should save money to buy it.父母亲给我这个储蓄罐的目的是告诉我：如果想要得到某个东西，就要自己存钱来买。通过这个做法父亲培养他养成存蓄的习惯，选C。

36．A猜测词义题。根据本句Around the world, many believe a gift of a piggy bank on New Year’s Day brings good luck and financial success. Ah, but you have to put something in it可知世界各地的人都认为储蓄罐是一个很好的能够带来好运和经济成功的礼物，但是条件是你要向里面放钱。因为储蓄罐就是用来养成存钱的习惯的，如果你不存钱，那就失去了价值。由此判断something指money，选A。

37．B推理判断题。根据文章第四段中people saved money at home, a few coins at a time

dropped into a jar or dish. Pottersmade these inexpensive containers from an orange-colored clay called “pygg,”and folks saved coins in pygg jars.可知以前没有银行的时候，人们就是使用粘土罐来存放零钱的，The piggy ban就是最初的储蓄罐。故B正确。

38．C主旨大意题。根据末段前两句Originally you had to break the bank to get to the money, bringing in a sense of seriousness into savings. While piggy banks teach children the wisdom of saving, adults often need to relearn childhood lessons.可知本段讲述的是储蓄罐的重要性，储蓄罐不仅可以帮助孩子养成存钱的好习惯，而且对成年人也是有好处的，所以选C。

试题分析：我是一个18岁的中学生，由于学习的缘故我很少帮父母做家务。上个星期天，我对房间做了个大清理以此来帮助父母。妈妈回到家后看到这一切，给了我一个大拥抱。虽然我很累，但我很开心。

【小题1】a---an 考查冠词。Eighteen紧跟着冠词的第一个音素为元音音素，故把a换成an。

【小题2】in----with 考查介词。Be busy with sth. 为固定搭配，故把in改成with。

【小题3】houseworks----housework 考查名词。Housework为不可数名词，故把houseworks 改成housework。

【小题4】and去掉考查连词。Feeling quite sorry for that为动名词结构，I begin to think about what to do to help为主句，中间不需要连词，故去掉and。

【小题5】shop-----shopping 考查动名词。Go out中out为介词，后接动词的ing形式，故把shop改成shopping。

【小题6】giving-----give 考查搭配。Why not+动词原形，故把giving改成give。

Attention, please, everyone. As senior middle school students, we’ve burdened ourselves with a lot of work. To make ourselves enjoy a colorful life and keep fit through physical exercise, we’ve decided to found a cycling club and organize some activities.

We plan to offer basic training once a week, which will be instructed by our PE teacher. It will fall on the third period in the afternoon, when students are having after-class activities.
