3.It seems that people are gradually losing their smartness as smartphones become increasingly important assistants in their lives.As we rely too much on technology instead of our brains,many people have lost three basic abilities.
     The first skill many people have lost is remembering phone numbers.Because phone numbers are stored in smartphone contacts,there's now no need to dial a number or look at it again.This is fine until you need to call someone for help,only to find your phone is not around.
     And some people may also have lost their sense of direction because some apps can guide people anywhere they want.People get so dependent on them that when they can't use their smartphones,they get lost and anxious.
     But the worst lost skills may be social ones,meaning that some people are becoming socially inept (無(wú)能的).People often bury themselves in their smartphones.As we're too absent-minded by what's happening in the virtual (虛擬的),some of us have lost conversational skills and sometimes can't even tell whether a person is happy or not.
     Last August,researchers at the University of California,Los Angeles,studied 51 students aged 11 and 12 who had over five hours'screen time every day.Their task was to tell the emotions of 48 pictures of faces that were happy,sad,angry or scared.
     The children made an average of 14.02 mistakes at the beginning.But after a five-day camp without electronic products,they made only 9.41 mistakes on average.
     Luckily,people still have a chance to get these abilities back.You should try to keep your parents'numbers in mind for emergencies.You should also pay more attention to street signs and stores,which will help you to draw a mind map and stop you from getting lost.And the easiest solution to social skill loss
 is to take a break from electronic products.

29.The underlined sentence in the second paragraph implies thatC.
A.you are able to turn to others for help
B.others are able to call you anytime and anywhere
C.you are unable to contact others without your smartphone
D.others are unable to get in touch with you by smartphone
30.The experiment shows that without electronic products,one couldD.
A.tell more pictures of faces easily
B.tell different emotions immediately
C.lose the sense of direction frequently
D.recognize more facial expressions correctly
31.Overusing smartphones,people will probablyB.
A.have no sense of numbers
B.lose face-to-face communication skills
C.fail to find their destination
D.weaken their senses of hearing and sight.

分析 本文是一篇說(shuō)明文,告訴了我們只能手機(jī)給人們智力帶來(lái)的不利影響.人們使用智能手機(jī)似乎使得人們的智慧正離人們遠(yuǎn)去,但是幸運(yùn)的是,這種現(xiàn)象并不是無(wú)藥可救.

解答 29.C.理解推斷題.由這段句首The first skill many people have lost is remembering phone numbers可知這是講我們失去了記電話號(hào)碼的能力,因此應(yīng)為句意沒(méi)有了手機(jī)是肯定不能打電話尋求別人幫助的,故選C.
30.D.理解推斷題.由倒數(shù)第二段children made an average of 14.02 mistakes at the beginning.But after a five-day camp without electronic products,they made only 9.41 mistakes on average.在最開始,孩子們平均犯14.02個(gè)錯(cuò)誤,但是在沒(méi)有電子產(chǎn)品的五天野營(yíng)之后,他們平均只出9.41個(gè)錯(cuò)誤.故選D
31.B.理解推斷題.由第四段some of us have lost conversational skills and sometimes can't even distinguish whether a person is happy or not我們中的一些人已經(jīng)失去了對(duì)話技能,有時(shí)候甚至不能分辨一個(gè)人是否開心.故選B

15.The strong protests against constant testing are a reaction mainly against the mindless test-prep(針對(duì)訓(xùn)練) associated with reading tests.Math tests,which are based on an actual curriculum,aren't the main issue.Prepping for them usually helps improve math proficiency.But prepping for reading tests have had only a short-tem effect,and hasn't helped reading ability in the long run.
If you look at recent scores on the National Assessment of Educational Progress,you will see that there's a gentle boost in reading scores for grades 4 and 8,but not for 17 years olds.The reading proficiency of high school seniors had not been changed since the great verbal decline of the 1970s,which was well documented by drops in scores on the SAT.So,why haven't the short-term early boots in grades 4and 8translated into better verbal scores in grade 12?Reading tests in later grades are more knowledge-intensive than the tests in the early grades.Scholars of the subject showed that 12th-grade scores declined in the 1970s and stayed flat,because of a narrowing of the school curriculum.
The time-consuming test preparations with endless exercises on"finding the main idea"and"questioning the author"have become the main cause of today's curriculum narrowing.Emphasis on reading and reading tests have helped to cause low reading scores among senior students.The underlying reasons for this paradox(悖論) are not widely understood among test makers and other specialists:Prepping for reading tests has had a negative effect on the curriculum,because the tests themselves,not to mention the strategy exercises,are based on an incorrect understanding of reading ability.
Reading ability is very topic independent.How well students perform on a reading test is highly dependent on their knowledge of the topics of the test passages.Yet the topics on our current reading tests don't have anything to do with the topics studied in school.Worse,there's no short-term way of preparing for a general reading test other than by doing topic-indifferent skill-exercises.It involves teaching students how to figure out the meaning of a test passage,even when they know little about the topic.This kind of unproductive and boring test-prep ceases to have an effect.
That's why reading scores were higher when schooling was more knowledge-intensive.A knowledge-oriented curriculum will,over time,produce higher verbal abilities than a test-prep curriculum.Over 13years of knowledge-intensive schooling,students,including disadvantages ones,can learn quite a lot about a lot of topics,greatly increasing their ability to make high scores on a reading test.

58.According to Paragraph 1,constant reading tests are receiving strong protests probably becauseC.
A.they are a reaction against the mindless test-prep related to reading tests
B.Math tests which are based on an actual curriculum aren't the main issue
C.prepping for them hasn't boosted high school seniors'reading proficiency
D.prepping for them fails to produce any effect for students'reading skills
59.Emphasis on reading had contributed to low scores in higher grades becauseD.
A.the test-prep associated with reading tests is too time-consuming
B.there's no short-term way of preparing for a general reading test
C.the prepping for reading tests is unproductive and boring
D.test experts fail to understand reading proficiency correctly
60.The suitable title for this text could beD.
A.Strong Protest Against Constant Testing                
B.Reading Ability is Very Topic Dependent
C.A Paradox of Emphasis on Reading and Low Scores      
D.Why Reading Test Scores Flatten Out in 12th Grade.

18.One hundred years ago,"Colored"was the typical way of referring to Americans of African descent.Twenty years later,it was purposefully dropped to make way for"Negro."By the late 1960s,that term was overtaken by"Black."And then,at a press conference in Chicago in 1988,Jesse Jackson declared that"African American"was the term to welcome.This one was chosen because it echoed the labels of groups,such as"Italian Americans"and"Irish Americans,"that had already been freed of widespread discrimination.
A century's worth of calculated name changes point to the fact that naming any group is a politically freighted exercise.A 2001study cataloged all the ways in which the term"Black"carried connotations (涵義) that were more negative than those of"African American."
But if it was known that"Black"people were viewed differently from"African Americans,"researchers,until now,hadn't identified what that gap in perception was derived from.A recent study,conducted by Emory University's Erika Hall,found that"Black"people are viewed more negatively than"African Americans"because of a perceived difference in socioeconomic status.As a result,"Black"people are thought of as less competent and as having colder personalities.
The study's most striking findings shed light on the racial discriminations permeating the professional world.Even seemingly harmless details on a CV,it appears,can tap into recruiters'(招聘人員)discriminations.A job application might mention affiliations(關(guān)系) with groups such as the"Wisconsin Association of African-American Lawyers"or the"National Black Employees Association,"the names of which apparently have consequences,and are also beyond their members'control.
In one of the study's experiments,subjects were given a brief description of a man from Chicago with the last name Williams.To one group,he was identified as"African-American,"and another was told he was"Black."With little else to go on,they were asked to estimate Mr.Williams'salary,professional standing,and educational background.
The"African-American"group estimated that he earned about 37,000ayearandhadatwo-yearcollegedegree.The"Black"group,ontheotherhand,puthissalaryatabout 29,000,and guessed that he had only"some"college experience.Nearly three-quarters of the first group guessed that Mr.Williams worked at a managerial level,while only 38.5percent of the second group thought so.
Hall's findings suggest there's an argument to be made for electing to use"African American,"though one can't help but get the sense that it's a decision that papers over the urgency of continued progress.Perhaps a new phrase is needed,one that can bring everyone one big step closer to realizing Du Bois'original,idealistic hope:"It's not the name-it's the Thing that counts."

59.We can conclude from Erika Hall's findings thatA.
A.Racial discriminations are widespread in the professional world
B.Many applicants don't attend to details on their CVs
C.Job seekers should all be careful-about their affiliations
D.Most recruiters are unable to control their racial biases
60.Which of the following statements is NOT true according to the passage?C
A.Jesse Jackson embraced the term"African American"because it is free from discrimination.
B.The naming of any ethnic (種族) group is political sensitive.
C.Before the study conducted by Erika Hall,researchers had identified the causes of the gap in
perception of racial discrimination.
D.A man identified as"African American"is thought of as more capable than he is identified as"Black".
61.Erika Hall's experiment about a man with the last name Williams indicates thatC.
A.African Americans fare better than many other ethnic groups
B.Black people's socioeconomic status in America remains low
C.People's conception of a person has much to do with the way he or she is labeled
D.One's professional standing and income are related to their educational background
62.From the underlined sentences in the last paragraph,we can know that Dr.Du Bois'hope isB.
A.All Americans enjoy equal rights
B.A person is judged by their worth
C.A new term is created to address African Americans
D.All ethnic groups share the nation's continued progress.

Everything you read fills your head with new bits of information and you never know when it might be useful to you.The more knowledge you have,the better-equipped you are to overcome any challenge you'll ever face.Additionally,here's a bit of food for thought:Should you ever find yourself in terrible circuit stances,remember that although you might lose everything else-your job,your possessions,your money,even your health-knowledge  can never be taken from you.
At  the  same  time,the more you read,the more words you gain exposure to,and they'll  surely make (heir my into your everyday vocabulary.Being able to express your ideas clearly in words is of great help in any profession?and knowing that you can speak to higher-ran king people with self-confidence can he a great encouragement to your selt-esteem(自尊).It could even aid  in  your career.a(chǎn)s those who are  well-read,well-spoken,and knowledgeable on a variety of topics tend to get promotions more quickly (and more often) than those with smaller vocabularies and lack of awareness of literature,scientific breakthroughs,and global events.Reading books is also vital for learning new languages,as non-native speakers gain exposure to words used in context,which will improve their own speaking and writing fluency.
When you  read a book,you have to remember a lot of characters,their backgrounds,ambitions,history,arid nuances,as well as the  various plots that weave their way through every story.That's a  fair bit to remember,but brains are wonderful things and can remember these things with  relative ease.Amazingly enough,whenever you remember something new,new synapses[(神經(jīng)元的)突觸]are formed and existing ones me strengthened.I low cool that is!
