6.It has become the modern substitute of glancing at your watch-the furtive(偷偷的)look at a phone screen to check for new messages or have a quick look at Facebook.Researchers have now found why we often feel such a strong urge to glance at our handset.Using your mobile,they say,is easily affected by other people.
A University of Michigan team say people are twice as likely to pull out their phones to check their messages or emails if they're with someone who has just done the same.It also found that females were more likely to use their mobile than men because it was more‘consistent'with the daily lives of women.
The team watched students in dining halls and coffee shops around campus,observing pairs of students sitting at tables for as long as 20minutes and recorded their cellphone use at 1 0-second intervals.
"What we found most interesting was just how often people were using their mobile phones,"Dr Daniel Kruger,the study's co-author,said."Every person we observed used his/her phone at least once while one woman was on hers about half of the time.You may see others checking their incoming messages and be encouraged to check your own.''
Overall,the students used their cellphones in an average of 24percent,the researchers found.But they were significantly more likely to use their phones(39.5percent)when their companion had just done so in the previous 10-second interval than without the social clue,the researchers said,adding that  this behavior was often repeated.
Cell phones create an alternative way for one's attention and may both promote and interrupt ongoing social activities,the researchers wrote.
Kruger believes this pattern could be related to the effects of social acceptance and rejection.If one person in a pair engages in another conversation through their phone,his or her companion may feel rejected.That companion then might be forced to connect with others from outside so as not to feel left out.

56.People's strong desire to check their messages partly results fromC.
A.the modern substitute of their watches
B.the new messages of their handsets
C.the same behavior of other people
D.the update service of Facebook
57.Why do women use their phones more frequently?B
A.They want to show off their modern mobiles.
B.They are more likely to be influenced by others.
C.They try to set a good example for others.
D.They desire to meet the demands of society.
58.How might one feel when his companion is busy checking messages?D
A.Relaxed.    B.Ashamed.
C.Surprised.  D.Ignored.
59.The underlined part"this behavior"in Paragraph 5refers toA.
A.using the cellphones    B.receiving social clues
C.joining in activities D.engaging in conversations
60.Which of the following can be the best title of the passage?D

D.Cellphone Use Is Spreading.

分析 本文描述了手機(jī)的普遍流行帶來(lái)的影響.人們通過手機(jī)更好的融入社會(huì),但是在一定程度上也使人有一種強(qiáng)迫使用手機(jī)的習(xí)慣,這也表明了手機(jī)使用的普遍.

解答 56-60  CBDAD
56.C. 細(xì)節(jié)理解題.由第一段和第二段可以看出:當(dāng)周圍有人用手機(jī)時(shí),即便你沒事也要檢查手機(jī)短信或郵件的可能性會(huì)增加一倍.故選C.
57.B. 細(xì)節(jié)理解題.從文中第二段"…females were more likely to use their mobile than men because…"看出:同男性相比,女性會(huì)更頻繁地使用手機(jī),因?yàn)樗齻兏枰?融入到女性的日常生活圈".故選B.
58.D. 推理判斷題.最后一段告訴我們:如果兩個(gè)人在一起,其中一個(gè)在打電話,那么同伴就會(huì)感到自己被排斥了,為了自己不遭冷落,他就會(huì)強(qiáng)迫自己掏出手機(jī)與別人聯(lián)絡(luò).故選D.
59.A. 詞意猜測(cè)題.從倒數(shù)第三段劃線部分上下文可知:研究者發(fā)現(xiàn),若旁邊有同伴在未收到任何社交信號(hào)的情況下用手機(jī)的話,那另外一人使用手機(jī)的頻率則會(huì)大幅增加.因此,"his behavior"指的是"using the cellphones". 故選A.
60.D.標(biāo)題判斷題. 綜合全文可以得出結(jié)論:使用手機(jī)也會(huì)傳染,當(dāng)看到別人收發(fā)短信時(shí),也會(huì)不自覺地掏出手機(jī),由此推斷出手機(jī)使用的迅速推廣和普及.故選D.

12.When my now 19-year-old daughter Shanna was in Grade 3,all of Mrs Mathews'students were given a small pot with a bean seed to plant.Green string beans are pretty strong and the perfect seed to use when promoting green thumbs (園藝技能)in young children.
Once the bean plants had flowered,their teacher allowed the kids to carefully transport it from school to home.Once home,Shanna looked around for the perfect location and settled on a sunny south window sill (窗臺(tái))and then proudly declared,"Soon I can feed the whole family!"
Shanna's sisters were jealous and even our cat looked interested,which should have a warning to me because when I woke up the next morning,I saw that the bean plant had been unkindly knocked off the window sill.The plant,it seemed,was a goner.
As I gently began to explain that the bean plant had to be put in the compost,her reaction was not what I expected.She said,"Everything will be OK,Mom;the plant will get better."She secured the first aid kit (急救箱)from the bathroom,and a deep belief that the sad looking near-dead bean plant would live and even produce food!
Days later,to my surprise,the bean plant was standing tall and looking lively.It was also amazing to see that the one and only bean,had become fleshy almost completely masking the claw marks that had scarred it.This time we built a castle of heavy books to keep it safe until our day of reward.
I set the table beautifully for Thanksgiving dinner.The beans were carefully divided by 5,which awarded each person 2small pieces,claw marks and all.They turned out to be the best green beans I had ever eaten!
In my work as a youth motivator I am brought together with kids and teens that all desperately need people to believe in them.Now,more than ever,no matter what I have been told about a child or a teen and their behavior,I see everyone,no exceptions,with the same eyes and heart that my daughter used on her broken,beaten up bean plant

56.We can infer Mrs Mathew made her studentsB
A.eat more beans as healthy food     
B.develop their ability of growing plants
C.learn the hard work of farmers     
D.make a research in the bean structure
57.According to the writer,she should have thought thatC
A.the plant might fall off the window sill
B.other children might be jealous of Shanna
C.the cat might make trouble to the bean plant
D.the bean plant might die for lack of sunlight

B.decided to find out who was to blame
C.gave up the idea of feeding the whole family
D.gave the plant a first aid immediately

1.During the past Spring Festival,many children may have received red packets from their families.But Xing Pu,a 40-year-old economist,is asking the government to give red packets to every Chinese citizen.
Xing suggested the government give out 1,000yuan to each Chinese since the government income has increased rapidly in recent years.He said his suggestion would allow everyone to directly enjoy the fruits of the country's economic success,help the lower-income groups deal with rising prices and increase consumption(消費(fèi))around the country.
Recent years have seen the government carry out a series of pro-poor (扶貧) and pro-rural (惠農(nóng))policies,including increasing spending on public healthcare and calling off the agricultural tax.But the lower-income group still needs more help while being hit hard by an 11-year high in prices and recent snowstorms.
Xing said while making the draft,he has borrowed many ideas from practices in countries like the United States and Singapore.Earlier this year,the governments of the two nations offered cash handouts(救濟(jì))to their citizens as the result of a surplus in government income.As for in China,"We can even encourage the rich to donate their 1,000yuan red packet to the poor,"said Xing.
Although Xing's suggestion has gained wide support among ordinary Chinese on the Internet,many other economists criticized it as unpractical.Even Xing himself admitted he made the suggestion without any careful calculation.But they agreed with Xing's point that the growing economic pie should be shared among the people.
"To better use the increase of money,handing out money is not a solution that holds good for all time.It could be better to improve the public service or cut the price of energy use in daily life,"said Qiao Xinsheng,an economic professor.

46.Xing Pu suggested that the government give out 1,000yuan to each Chinese becauseC.
A.the poor should get help from the rich
B.the government should help the rich
C.the growing economic pie should be shared among the people
D.the government doesn't know how to use the money
47.What has the government done to help the lower-income group?C
A.Spending less on public health care.
B.Increasing the agricultural tax.
C.Carrying out pro-poor policies.
D.Handing out money to every Chinese.
48.According to some experts,what is better than giving out money?B
A.Supplying food to everyone every day.
B.Cutting off the price of energy use in daily life.
C.Controlling the rising of prices.
D.Increasing the government income.
49.Xing Pu's ideas of giving red packets to every Chinese citizen mainly came fromB.
A.children receiving red packets from their families
B.the US and Singapore governments offering cash handouts to their citizens
C.the government's increasing spending on public health care
D.the rising prices in the country
50.Xing Pu's suggestionB.
A.was supported by everyone in the country
B.caused debates on the internet
C.was supported by the government
D.would be adopted soon.

11.More than l00,and possibly hundreds,of Antarctic icebergs are floating towards Now Zealand in a rare event which has prompted a shipping warning,officials said on Monday.
An Australian Antarctic Division glaciologist,said that th9 ice chunks(塊),spotted by satellite photography,had passed the Auckland Islands and were heading towards the main South Island,about 450 kilometers southeast of it.
    Scientist Neal Young said more than 100 icebergs,some measuring more than 200 meters across,were seen in just one cluster(串),indicating there could be hundreds more.He said they were the remains of a massive iceberg which split from the Antarctic as sea and air temperatures rise due to global warming."All of these have come from a larger one that was probably 30 square kilometers in size when it left Antarctica,"Young told the reporter."It's done a long circuit around Antarctica and now the bigger parts of it al e breaking up and producing smaller ones"
    He said large numbers of icebergs had not floated this close to New Zealand since 2006,when a number came within 25 kilometers of the coastline-the first such sighting since l931."They're following the same tracks now up towards New.Zealand.Whether they make it up to the South Island or not is diffcu1t to tell,"Young said?
    Maritime New Zealand spokesman Ross Henderson said that New Zealand has already issued coastal navigation warnings for the area in the Southern Ocean Where the icebergs have been seen.The icebergs are smaller parts of the giant chunks seen off Australia's Macquarie Island this month,including one estimated at two kilometers and another twice the size of Beijing's"Bird's Nest"Olympic Stadium.
Young earlier said he expected to see more icebergs in the area if the Earth's temperature continues to increase."If the current trends in global warming were to continue I would anticipate(預(yù)見)seeing more icebergs and the large ice shelves breaking up,"he said.

51.We call infer that Auckland Islands isB

B.icebergs were over 25 kilometers from the South Bland in 2006
C.these icebergs are floating along almost the same coulee
D.floating icebergs were closest from the South Island in l 931
