10.The‘Phone  Stack(堆)'Game
Whenever Michael Carl,the fashion market director at Vanity Fair,goes out to dinner with friends,he plays something,called the"phone stack"game:Everyone places their phones in the middle of the table; whoever looks at their device before the check arrives picks up the bill.As smartphones continue to burrow(鉆入) their way into our lives,and wearable devices like Google Glass threaten to eat into our person space even further,overburdened users are carving out their own device-free zones with special tricks and life hacks.
"Disconnecting is a luxury that we all need,"Lesley M.M.Blume,a New York writer keeps her phone away from the dinner table at home."The expectation that we must always be available to employers,colleague,family:It creates a real obstacle in trying to set aside private time.But that private time is more important than ever."Much of the digital detoxing (戒毒)is centered on the home,where urgent e-mails from co-workers,texts from friends,Instagram photos from acquaintances and updates on Facebook get together to disturb domestic quietness.
A popular method is to appoint a kind of cellphone lockbox,like the milk tin that Brandon Holley,the former editor of lucky magazine,uses."If my phones is buzzing or lighting up,it's still a distraction,so it goes in the box.",said Ms.Holley,who lives in a row house in Red Hook,Brooklyn,with her son,Smith,and husband,John."It's not something I want my kid to see."Sleep is a big factor,which is why some people draw the cellphone-free line at the bedroom."I don't want to sleep next to something that is a charged ball of information with photos an e-mails,"said Peter Som,the fashion designer,who keeps his phone plugged in the living room overnight.""It definitely is a head clearer and describes daytime and sleep time clearly."
Households with young children are especially mindful about being overconnected,with parents sensitive to how children may imitate bad habits.But it's not just inside the home where users are separating themselves from the habit.Cellphone overusers are making efforts to disconnect in social settings,whether at the request of the host or in the form of friendly competition.The phone-stack game is a lighthearted way for friends to police against rude behavior when eating out.The game gained popularity after Brian Perez,a dancer in Los Angeles,posted the idea online.

63.What might be the reason for Michael Carl to play the"phone stack"game?C
A.His friends aren't willing to pay for the meal voluntarily.
B.He wants to do some funny things with those phones
C.He has been fed up with digital devices being present everywhere
D.The wearable devices have brought threats to his privacy.
64.Why is it difficulty for people to break away from their digital device at home?B
A.Because they have to do some work at home
B.Because they are expected to be always available to the outside
C.Because people have been addicted to digital devices.
D.Because digital devices can enrich people's family life.
65.What does Peter Som do to ensure his sleeping quality at night?A
A.He  puts his phone in the living room.
B.He ignores any information in the phone
C.He deletes all information in his phone
D.He puts his phones in a lockbox
66.Why does the phone-stack game become popular as soon as it is posted online?D
A.The game helps create a harmonious relationship among friends.
B.The game makes the host get along well with the guest
C.The game can prevent children from imitating their parents'behavior
D.The game meets people's demand for keeping away from phones easily.

9.FrankensteinFrankenstein was a book by Mary Shelly----it's been adapted for the screen dozens of times.The story of Frankenstein is told through a series of letters written by Captain Robert Walton to his sister,as he leads an expedition (長征)to the North Pole.On the way,he meets Victor Frankenstein,who tells Walton the story of his life.Frankenstein is the surname of the guy who creates the monster.The monster doesn't actually have a game.Anyway,Victor is a scientist who's desperate to discover the secret of life.After years of study,he makes an enormous creature out of human remains and brings it to life.Victor intends it to be beautiful.Unfortunately,the creature turns out really hideous,and Victor runs away in terror.Although the monster is good and kind,humans are scared of it.When they mistreat it,the monster becomes angry and evil.Wanting revenge on its creator,the monster murders Dr.Frankenstein's brother,his wife,and his best friend.When Victor figures out the monster is behind all the deaths,he swears to track it down and kill it.
This book was written in 1816,right after  a period called the Enlightenment.The Enlightenment emphasized the pursuit of knowledge and reason,and gave rise to the scientific method.Mary Shelley criticized the Enlightenment through the character of Victor Frankenstein,"He is a negative example of an Enlightenment scientist-------he pursues knowledge at any cost,and his obsession with discovering the secret of life destroys him,as well as his friends and family."Some Enlightenment thinkers might have seen such a loss as necessary for the advancement of science,but not Mary Shelley.She and her husband,poet Percy Shelly,were part of the Romanic Movement in art and literature.Romancism was a reacrion against the Enlightenment's embrace of rationality and reason.The Romantics emphasized emotion over rationality,and thought people should feel awe and terror in regard to nature.Frankenstein incorporates all these ideas.To Shelley,F(xiàn)rankenstein doesn't fear and respect the world of nature enough------she says that by tempering with  nature,he brings about complete disaster.Frankenstein is not just a great Romantic novel.It's also considered one of the first major works of science fiction.It influences a whole generation of writers,and the monster has become one of the most recognizable figures in Western culture.

56.Which of the following is closest in the meaning to"hideous"in Paragraph 1?A
A.Unattractive    B.Engaging   C.Charming   D.Handsome
57.What is Victor Frankenstein's fatal weakness?C
A.His love of science
B.His rejection of his own creation
C.His lack of respect for nature
D.His inability to form human relationship
58.How was the Romantic era different from the Enlightenment?A
A.The Romantic era emphasized emotion;the Enlightenment emphasized reason.
B.The Romantic era occurred during the 20th century;the Enlightenment occurred during the 19th century.
C.The Romantic era emphasized poetry;the Enlightenment emphasized prose.
D.The Romantic era saw major scientific discoveries;the Enlightenment was an era of literary discovery.
59.What effect did"F rankenstein"have on later works of fiction?D
A.It inspired books about the Enlightenment
B.It inspired technical writing
C.It inspired books of poetry

professional(profession) dancers.My mother used to laugh at me every time I glued my head in front of the TV set during a dancing video.Later,I registered myself at
(62)a local ballet dancing class where I was able to examine the type of dancing movements and learn how to move better.I remember that my (63)feelings(feel) were that life was too good to be true.

Have you ever noticed that dancers are always (68)healthier(healthy),have more energy,and seem to have a lot more fun than non-dancers?That is because dancing is one of the best ways for people to keep a better statues.(69)It is generally admitted that when one is in good health,he or she is able to enjoy life and avoid its negative impacts(70)on him or her every day.
