21、Everyone has a phone in their pocket nowadays, but how often do we really use them for their original purpose — to make a call? Telephone culture is disappearing. What brought us to this moment, and what are its effects?

“No one picks up the phone anymore,” wrote Alex C. Madrigal on The Atlantic. “The reflex (习惯性动作) of answering — built so deeply into people who grew up in 20th-century telephonic culture — is gone.”

The shift is of course due in large part to more communication options: Texting with photos, videos, emojis, reaction Gifs, links and even voice messages can be a more attractive option.

Texting is light and fun, not nearly as demanding of your attention as a phone call. It can also be done with multiple people at the same time. Social media, email and video calls have also eaten away at traditional phone calls.

In recent years, another reason has caused people to ignore phone calls completely: robocalls. Robocalls are automated messages from organizations verifying (核实) your phone number or telemarketers trying to sell something. Americans received 22.8 billion robocalls halfway through 2020, equaling an annual rate of 45.6 billion, slightly below 2018 numbers, according to You-Mail, a robocall protection service and blocking app.

As telephone culture disappears, what is the loss of a singular family phone doing to the family unit? Early landline phones unified family members, whereas mobile phones isolate (使隔绝) them.

“The shared family phone served as an anchor (给以安全感的物品) for home,” said Luke Fernandez, a Weber State University computer-science professor and co-author of Bored, Lonely, Angry, Stupid: Feelings About Technology, From the Telegraph to Twitter. With smartphones, “we have gained mobility and privacy. But the value of the home has been diminished, as has its capacity to guide and monitor family behavior and perhaps bind families more closely together,” Femandez said.

Of course, as technology progresses, lives always change for better or for worse. With the loss of telephone culture, families will need to find other ways to unite.

【1】What has caused the traditional telephone to lose its appeal according to the text?

A．People’s addiction to social media.

B．People’s preference for robocalls.

C．People’s growing need for privacy.

D．People’s wide range of communication choices.

【2】What does the underlined word “diminished” in the last but one paragraph probably mean?

A．Reduced.

B．Strengthened.

C．Instructed.

D．Inherited.

【3】What does Luke Fernandez point out?

A．Smartphones tie families together.

B．The use of mobile phones has affected family bonds.

C．Smartphones help people monitor family behavior.

D．The value of home depends on how phones are used.

【4】What does the article mainly talk about?

A．The past and future of telephones.

B．The development of communication tools.

C．The downfall of traditional telephone culture.

D．The relation between phone use and family bonds.

22、   We may not have the full details and are likely to judge something based on limited information.We tend to distance ourselves through our judgment and become disappointed with what we find. Judgment keeps us safe because we move our feelings of fear,shame and guilt onto others to make ourselves feel better.This comes at a cost of parting ourselves instead of building stronger connections.

The way out of judgment is through the power of gratitude,which helps us see things differently.Gratitude opens the door to our hearts and helps us consider things from different aspects.A heart filled with gratitude is unlike a heart filled with judgment,fear and anger.Consequently,judgment and gratitude are opposing forces.One is the field of the self and the other is expressed through true goodness and sympathy.

The key to recognizing our judgment lies in being mindful of our thoughts.I often tell coaching customers when they notice themselves judging,to stop and ask a simple question:“What am I not seeing in this situation?”This helps us notice where we are blinded by our bias(偏见)and unable to see the truth.It is my experience that judgment happens mainly in our connection with people.

We are unaware of other people’s motives and plans because we bring our own ill-natured thinking to the process.This was evident with the Tour de France winner Lance Armstrong,who convinced himself and others he did not cheat. He went to great lengths to dismiss(否定)his use of illegal performance-improving drugs.In an interview with Oprah Winfrey,he said that his lies were so convincing that they eventually became truth.

But upholding a lie is harder than speaking the truth.In contrast,the power of gratitude allows us to shift(转移)our attention to the truth,even if it means our feelings will be hurt.Gratitude turns the switch from fear and judgment to sympathy and understanding.It is the bridge where friendships and tolerance are born.

【1】What does the author think of judgment?

A.It makes us physically safe. B.It contributes to satisfying results.

C.It damages our relationships with others. D.It allows us to decide with full understanding.

【2】What’s the author’s purpose of asking his customers the question?

A.To warn them of others’ill thoughts. B.To help them to recognize their judgment.

C.To remind them to connect with others. D.To explain to them the bad effects of judgment.

【3】The example of Lance Armstrong is used to show   .

A.the progress in medicine B.the source of judgment

C.the achievement of the cyclist D.the reason for telling white lies

【4】What is the best title for the text?

A.Benefits of being grateful B.Search for the whole truth

C.Ways to form a friendship D.Get away from judgment

23、   A young girl, who enjoys being the center of attention, may act out for her friends and family. Then one day her mother tells her to stop being so silly and grow up. This negative attention may make the girl feel ashamed of her behavior and from then on, hold back her free-spiritedness and then go through life feeling as if she can’t fully express herself for fear of being laughed at.

The girl’s experience shows how people live with shame when they have been criticized (批评) for just being themselves.

When it comes to teenagers, there are times they can be extremely difficult and try their parents’ patience. When parents become frustrated, they may say things like “I am starting to really not like you. ” They may not mean what they say. They may just be tired of arguing with the teenager and have become emotionally overwhelmed. However, the teenager doesn’t know their words are out of frustration, and may feel his parents are telling him they’re sorry they ever had him. The child may conclude that he is a bad person. Such casual criticism by parents can linger and stick to children like glue.

How to make this better? The next time a child shows you a drawing he’s done, or sings a song for you in an effort to get your attention, recognize that your response may be extremely important toward the child’s willingness to continue to explore these creative efforts. When a child is dancing and an adult makes fun of him, the negativity he feels can completely shut the child down from that activity, or even worse, fill him with shame as if something’s wrong with him.

That is why it is so important for parents to recognize that children are exploring their world.The more encouragement we how then and he more we keep their sense of what’s possible alive, the more likely they will be to explore and find their own enthusiasm in life.

They will keep alive their joy and their dreams for the future. As parents, I don’t think we can hope for anything more.

【1】How does the author introduce the topic of the passage?

A．By describing a scene.

B．By giving an explanation.

C．By making a comparison.

D．By providing an example.

【2】What effect can parents’ mindless criticism have on children?

A．They may have a low opinion of themselves for long.

B．They may no longer feel afraid of being made fun of.

C．They may want to challenge their parents’ patience further.

D．They may work harder to live up to their parents’ expectations.

【3】What are parents advised to do when a child seeks for attention?

A．Point out his weaknesses.

B．Protect his passion for exploration.

C．Comment on his behavior.

D．Encourage his reflection on himself.

24、   Morgan’s Wonderland, located in San Antonio, Texas, is a theme park mainly intended for mentally or physically disabled children. The park was built by Gordon Hartman, a former real estate (房地产) developer. The creation of the park was inspired by his daughter, Morgan, who suffers from severe cognitive delay and physical challenges.

The world’s first ultra-accessible family fun park, Morgan’s Wonderland opened in the spring of 2010. Admission for guests with special needs is free, and fees for the general public are set at a much discounted price so that people of all ages and abilities can come together and play in a fun and safe environment.

Completely wheelchair-accessible, the park features 25 acres of attractions including rides, playgrounds, a catch-and-release fishing lake, and picnic areas throughout the park. The rides are custom-designed to accommodate wheelchair riders so that every family member can enjoy the fun.

Moreover, each visitor is offered the option to wear a GPS Adventure Band, which allows them to keep track of each other while in the park. The band also enables them to take part in electronic activities. For example, when the riders scan the band at the Off-Road Adventure, a photo will be taken and sent to their email.

In June 2017, Morgan’s Wonderland celebrated the opening of Morgan’s Inspiration Island. The new expansion is composed of five themed splash pads and a River Boat Adventure Ride. The wheelchair guests can be moved out of their chairs into unique, waterproof chairs and enjoy the splash park without risking damage to their personal wheelchairs.

“Morgan taught me that there’s more to life in many ways than what I saw before,” said Hartman. “The blessing that Morgan has brought is beyond anything that I ever could have imagined and could explain.”
