21、We increasingly rely on social media to talk to friends, GPS to navigate and the web for information. But is that wise?

Google is making you stupid, your iPhone’s making you anxious and your social networks are making you anti-social. Modem technology is driving each of us into a cognitive (认知的) disorder, and if we aren’t careful we’ll be beaten into a stupor (麻木).

Of course, the real story isn’t as clear as all that But stories continue because the sense that something is eroding our mental abilities feels right We struggle to remember our own phone number, while only a few years ago we could recall dozens. Online, readers prefer short, simple stories to long, subtle pieces, and we all know someone who breaks out in a sweat when separated from their smartphone.

So what’s really happening? The first thing to consider is that this kind of ‘neuro-anxiety’ about the tools we use is nothing new. In 370 BC, Plato warned that the Greeks’ “trust in writing77 would “discourage the use of their own memory”. Sound familiar?

The reality is that our brains do change when we use a smartphone or computer — but they also change when we use a pen, a screwdriver, or any other tool for that matter. They change when we mow the lawn, play golf or cook dinner. Our experiences continually shape the way the brain works So the question isn’t really ‘is tech changing our brains?’ but ‘how are our brains adapting to living in today’s screen-first, always-online, networked world?’

Scientifically speaking, we’re a long way from definitive answers, but we looked at the latest research and talked to leading experts in their fields to discover how they think our brains are being affected….

【1】In Paragraph Two, the author tries to tell us   of modern technology.

A. the bad effects   B. the benefits

C. the overuse   D. the diversity

【2】The author takes Plato for example in Paragraph Four to   .

A. warn people not to use writing tools

B. present the development of technology

C. show people’s anxiety about technology always exists

D. explain writing tools have an influence on people’s memory

【3】From the last two paragraphs, we can infer that   .

A. modem technology has the greatest effect on our brains

B. our brains are always changing no matter what we do

C. it’s easy to find out how our brains adapt to the modem world

D. the latest research about modem technology is quite helpful

【4】What’s the author’s attitude toward modem technology?

A. indifferent   B. opposed

C. doubtful   D. objective

22、   Jeremy Savage, aged 17, and Ian Marshall, aged 16, went to the Rocky Mountains with their parents for the weekend. On Saturday morning, the two boys decided to climb Cathedral Mountain by themselves while their parents relaxed at the campsite. After three hours, they reached the top with no problems.

However, trouble began when they started the climb down the mountain. On one very dangerous part of the path, Ian fell three metres off the side of the path. Jeremy was able to climb down to where Ian was. Ian was badly injured and could not move. Jeremy had to decide what to do. He needed help, but he did not want to leave his friend. He used water from his own bottle to clean the dirt and blood from Ian’s face and hands. He tried to help Ian stand up, but Ian’s right leg was hurting too much. They had to wait and hope that someone would come and help them.

When the boys did not return to the campsite that evening, their parents became very worried. They got in touch with park workers and began searching for the boys. Soon more than 20 people were looking for the boys.

As night fell, the boys were still missing. While they waited for help to arrive, Jeremy gave Ian his food and water and he let Ian lie on his jacket so he would be more comfortable. As the evening grew darker, Ian told Jeremy to leave him and go back to their parents, but he still did not leave. Jeremy thought it was too dangerous for Ian to be alone. The night was cold and windy, and Jeremy used his jacket and an extra shirt to keep Ian warm.

At sunrise, Jeremy decided that the only way to help his friend was to carry him. So, they started the long climb back to their parents. Sometimes Jeremy carried Ian on his hack. Sometimes he carried him in his arms. Finally, after four hours, they arrived at the campsite where their parents were waiting. “I will always remember what Jeremy did for me,” said Ian. “He saved my life. That is the greatest thing that a person can do for his friend.”

A．Jeremy had Ian’s food and water.

B．Jeremy left Ian alone to find help from their parents.

23、On November 15th, 2014, children aged 8 to 12 got together in five cities around the world to participate in the first Global Children’s Designation. The event that was organized by a Dutch company called Unexpect, challenged kids to come up with solutions for some of the world’s most pressing problems in a day!

The day began with the kids listening to the various challenges that were related to their particular cities and towns. The teams were then asked to brainstorm about which problem they were going to handle and how. There were so many amazing ideas produced on that day.

While some of the ideas were far from perfect, there were many that could be practical like the smart cars which can ease traffic pressure by telling traffic lights of its arrival and also guiding the drivers to the best possible route(路线).

Emer Beamer, the founder of Unexpect, says the purpose of the project is to introduce children to skills they probably never learn in class. She says that for most part, schools focus on teaching things that they will most likely never need to know again. She believes that for kids to be successful in the world, they should be learning how to be creative, handle new technologies and deal with unexpected situations.

Though the first global design challenge was relatively small, involving only a few hundred of the two billion youngsters that are bursting with ideas, the next one will be much bigger. That’s because in 2015, Unexpect plans to distribute free tool kits(成套工具) to any school that is interested in hosting their own Children’s Designation Challenge. We can’t wait to see what ideas kids will come up with next.

【1】What can we learn from Paragraph 2?

A. kids have to solve given problem

B. only few kids have amazing ideas

C. kids have to solve the problem separately

D. kids are free to choose to solve any problem

【2】What does the project of Unexpect aim to do?

A. To improve school education.

B. To share achievements of technologies.

C. To develop children’s creativity.

D. To predict some unexpected situations.

【3】What will Emer plan to do to make the next global design challenge bigger?

A. Reward children with much more money

B. Call on schools to teach some common skills

C. Provide more schools with some tools for free

D. Invite all schools to participate in the project

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

A. Children’s crazy ideas for the country

B. The first Global Children’s Designation

C. Emer Beamer, the founder of Unexpect

D. How to solve the world’s urgent problems

24、While looking for local restaurants to enjoy when I was camping at Chadron State Park (CSP), NE, I found the interesting sounding “Just Love—Coffee Cafe”.

The coffee shop began with a couple, who, after spending too much while taking another two children without parents from Ethiopia into their family, began a cafe business, with part of the money they made from it going to support their big family. I enjoyed the good atmosphere, the attractive menu and a nice chat with the owner about the Cafe knowledge.

I decided to buy a gift card for the lifeguards at the CSP pool, where we went every day and even saw a rescue with our own eyes! And I also wanted to buy one for the hostess at the Trading Center, who cheerfully agreed to allow me to set up a paper art workshop next time we camped there.

While waiting in line to buy the gift cards, I had a brief conversation with a young mom who was at a point in life where everything seemed a struggle, but she was confident. “Her father,” she said, smiling at her daughter in the baby carriage, “is away at barber school in Arizona. It’s the fastest way of getting his certificate (证书). He’s Native American and his strong point is in braiding (编辫子). I work nights and have a babysitter for her during my work time, so I’m always tired. However, I’m sure that I can get over the hard days as soon as possible!”

Following that conversation, I bought another gift card and gave it to the hard-working young mom. And when I did, she reached out to hug me, with tears of surprise. As we hugged, I said softly, “Things will get better. Hold on...”

【1】Why did the couple open the coffee shop?

A．To serve foreigners.

B．To become wealthy.

D．To help support their big family.

【2】In what way was the author similar to the couple?

A．He loved paper art.

B．He cared about others.

C．He wanted to make more money.

D．He showed much interest in coffee.

【3】Why was the young lady’s husband away from home?

A．To get specific education.

B．To teach traditional skills.

C．To set up his own business.

D．To make a living.

【4】What was the young mother’s attitude towards her present life?

B．Uncaring.

C．Hopeful.

D．Worried.
