Mr. Xu was a famous and handsome man. Hearing this, Zou Ji didn’t believe it. On the second day, a guest came, so he asked the guest the same question. The guest answered, “How could Mr. Xu be better— looking than you?” A few days later, Mr. Xu came to visit Zou Ji.

Therefore he said to Qi Weiang. “I am actually not better — looking than Mr. Xu, but my wife and my guest both told me that I was better— looking than him. My wife was partial (偏爱) to me and my guest needed my help, so they both praised me. In the Qi State, everybody in the court (王宫) is partial to you, all the officials fear you and people all over the state want your help. Therefore, you must have received more praise than me.” Zou Ji also gave the advice. “If you can be perfectly honest and ask for advice, it will be good for our state.” After hearing Zou Ji’s words, Qi Weiang sent a notice, saying that anyone who pointed out his mistakes face to face would get first prize.

For many of us, our smartphone is the first and last thing we look at every day. We depend on it to do a number of tasks and connect with our friends and family. The inventor of the first mobile phone American engineer Martin Cooper, thinks many people become addicted (上瘾) to our phones. In a BBC interview, he suggested people stop scrolling (刷屏) and “get a life”. However, once we start scrolling or watching videos, we just can’t kick the habit. A study from King’s College London found young people couldn’t control the time they spend on their phones. Such behavior means that students become “anxious” or “upset” if they are not allowed to be on the phone continuously. Like medicine, the problems appear when it is withdrawn. Interestingly, another study by the London School of Economics Science finds we don’t just look at our phones when we receive text or email messages. People feel an automatical (自动的) need to check their phones, just as a smoker would light a cigarette (烟). There’re several ways to solve this problem. One way is to reward (奖励) students if they are away from their phones. Another choice is changing your smartphone to a dumbphone that has none of the things to turn your attention away. But mainly, we just need to look up more and live in the real world! 12. What is Martin Cooper’s advice on using smartphones? A. People shouldn’t use them. B. People should stop scrolling. C. People should use them all day. D. People shouldn’t buy them. 13. What does the underlined word “withdrawn” in Paragraph 3 probably mean? A. Offered. B. Increased. C. Stopped. D. Saved. 14. What is the author’s key suggestion in the last paragraph? A. Pay more attention to study. B. Get a reward for offline time. C. Buy a new smartphone. D. Reconnect with the real world. 15. What can be a suitable title for the text? A. Benefits from Smartphones B. Addiction to Smartphones C. Development of Smartphones D. Disadvantages of Smartphones 【答案】12. B 13. C 14. D 15. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是说明文。文章探讨了人们对智能手机的依赖以及由此产生的问题，并提出了一些解决问题的方法。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“he suggested people stop scrolling (刷屏) and ‘get a life’.”可知，他建议人们停止刷屏，关注生活。故选B。 【13题详解】 词句猜测题。根据“Such behavior means that students become ‘anxious’ or ‘upset’ if they are not allowed to be on the phone continuously. ”可知，如果学生不被允许持续使用手机，他们会变得“焦虑”或“不安”；由“the problems appear”可知，问题出现是在手机被阻止的时候，故可推测划线词“withdrawn”表示“被停止”，与“Stopped”含义相同。故选C。 【14题详解】 细节理解题根据最后一段“But mainly, we just need to look up more and live in the real world!”可知，作者建议我们应该更多地关注现实世界。故选D。 【15题详解】 最佳标题题。根据“American engineer Martin Cooper, thinks many people become addicted (上瘾) to our phones.”以及整篇文章主要探讨的是智能手机上瘾问题以及其可能的解决办法。故选B。 第二节（共5小题；每小题1分，满分5分） 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有一项为多余选项。 The year 2025 has already arrived.

Bamboo is also great for the environment. It produces 35% more oxygen than most trees!

Mr. Xu was a famous and handsome man. Hearing this, Zou Ji didn’t believe it. On the second day, a guest came, so he asked the guest the same question. The guest answered, “How could Mr. Xu be better— looking than you?” A few days later, Mr. Xu came to visit Zou Ji. Zou Ji looked at Mr. Xu up and down and found that he was not the better— looking one of the two. Therefore he said to Qi Weiang. “I am actually not better — looking than Mr. Xu, but my wife and my guest both told me that I was better— looking than him.

C In 2008, Zhang Guimei, a hard-working teacher, founded a free girls—only senior high school in Huaping county, Yunnan province. Over the past 16 years, she has helped over 2,000 girls from poor villages to go to university. Her story, made into a TV series named She and Her Girls《山花烂漫时》, has been well-received since it came out on Sept 10. The series is successful because it feels real. Instead of showing Zhang’s life which is full of pain, it focuses(聚焦) on her strength to deal with problems. In the poor villages of Huaping county, people think it’s pointless for girls to receive an education. Because of this, many girls are forced to leave school at an early age. However, Zhang believes that education can change girls’ lives. To help them come back to school, Zhang and other teachers make many home visits. They never give up, even when villagers are unsupportive. From raising money to enrolling (招收) students, Zhang meets problems every step of the way. However, she is always ready for whatever life throws at her. Showing Zhang’s ability to face challenges head-on, the series tells her story in an inspiring way that wins people’s hearts. In the series, Zhang’s work brings her great joy. Her happiness comes from the support of the government and her co-workers. Seeing her students grow in safe and healthy environment also gives her a sense of achievement. Even when things go against her will, she is able to see the bright side. The series tells us that the life of a great person should not only be seen as a tough (艰难的) one. Instead, it’s a life that is both hard and beautiful. 8. Why did Zhang Guimei set up the school? A. To help girls from poor families continue their education. B. To improve the educational level in Huaping County. C. To help village children have chances to play in TV series. D.

She regrets setting up the school. C. She faces them positively D. She turns to others for advice. 11. What message (寓意) does the series want to express about the life of a great person? A. It is filled with different challenges. B. It is always supported by others. C. It has both challenging and wonderful moments. D. It is mainly about working hard to succeed. D How would you go without your smartphone? For many of us, our smartphone is the first and last thing we look at every day. We depend on it to do a number of tasks and connect with our friends and family. The inventor of the first mobile phone, American engineer Martin Cooper, thinks many people become addicted (上瘾) to our phones. In a BBC interview, he suggested people stop scrolling (刷屏) and “get a life”. However, once we start scrolling or watching videos, we just can’t kick the habit. A study from King’s College London found young people couldn’t control the time they spend on their phones. Such behavior means that students become “anxious” or “upset” if they are not allowed to be on the phone continuously. Like medicine, the problems appear when it is withdrawn. Interestingly, another study by the London School of Economics Science finds we don’t just look at our phones when we receive text or email messages. People feel an automatical (自动的) need to check their phones, just as a smoker would light a cigarette (烟). There’re several ways to solve this problem. One way is to reward (奖励) students if they are away from their phones. Another choice is changing your smartphone to a dumbphone that has none of the things to turn your attention away. But mainly, we just need to look up more and live in the real world! 12. What is Martin Cooper’s advice on using smartphones? A. People shouldn’t use them. B. People should stop scrolling. C. People should use them all day. D. People shouldn’t buy them. 13. What does the underlined word “withdrawn” in Paragraph 3 probably mean? A. Offered. B. Increased. C. Stopped. D. Saved. 14. What is the author’s key suggestion in the last paragraph? A. Pay more attention to study. B. Get a reward for offline time. C. Buy a new smartphone. D. Reconnect with the real world. 15. What can be a suitable title for the text? A Benefits from Smartphones B. Addiction to Smartphones C. Development of Smartphones D. Disadvantages of Smartphones 第二节（共5小题；每小题1分，满分5分） 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有一项为多余选项。 The year 2025 has already arrived. At the beginning of the new year, you may want to improve your lives.

Bamboo is also great for the environment. It produces 35% more oxygen than most trees!

They put different kinds of food inside it. Of course, you can’t eat the hard bamboo, but it gives a lovely flavor to the food. (4) Bamboo has made a difference to the history of China in many ways. In fact, the history of two thousand years of China was recorded on bamboo slips (竹简). In ancient, people used a writing brush dipped in ink to write characters on the bamboos. (5) Bamboo helps Chinese people travel both on river and land. Bamboo rafts (竹筏) are light, strong and float well. They are still used today in some parts of China for crossing rivers. Bamboo helps Chinese people travel on land, too. Traditional sedan (滑竿) chairs are often made of bamboo. They are for the old and kids who are not strong to climb the mountains.
