Most of my phone calls are less than a minute long.If I unintentionally hit answer instead of pressing the ignore button,I usually say,"Hold on,I'll call you back,"before quickly typing out a "what's up?"text.My list of recent phone calls is limited to four people and unless we live together, are related,or dating,there's very little chance that you'll be added to that list. It seems I'm not the only who's discarding the phone call.The average adult spends more time on media or communication per day than on sleeping,but among all that communication,the phone call is the medium that's falling. So why has the phone call fallen out of favour?Many messaging apps seem to have created a grade of comuniction,sotht the phone call isno longer the standard way of conversing ong distance,but a relatively intimate thing. 1 Rachel.4.says that sheused tospeaktoall her girfriendsthe phone butycallsa few."rarely even speak to good friends on the phone and if they oall me I'm like-Hello.is something wrong?says Rachel,"If1doaphone call,it feels really offica,ike it's a big deal Instead of taking the time to ring afriend and catch up,it now seems easier to send a short message.And unless you're very close to someone,an unscheduled phone call can feel like an interruption.While text messages can be put to one side for hours or even days,a phone call demands attention in the moment. But while text messages and emails may be a more efficient way of sharing basic facts and information,they're not necessarily the best way of communication.We may be communicating more than ever before,but we seem to be listening far less. 11.What does the author intend to tell us in paragraph 1? A.People chat much less on the phone call. B.People are addicted to messaging apps. C.People find no time to chat face-to-face. D.People have many ways to communicate. 12.What does the underlined word"discarding"in paragraph 3 mean? A.Taking on. B.Picking out. C.Bring about. D.Giving up. 13.What can be learnt from paragraph 6? A.Text messages demand immediate attention. B.An unscheduled phone call may be unwelcome C.Using a phone call to communicate is out of date. D.It is hard to keep track of friends on messaging apps. B Harvard was never my dream school from childhood.Up until I applied,the biggest impact it hadhad on my iife was the iaw schooi Eiie went to in the fiim,named Legaiiy Biomde. I grew up on a farm in Hamney County,Oregon,a remote rural area.My parents always supported me and encouraged me to pursue my dreams,but when I first started thinking about colleges,I wasn't even considering east coast schools.I was looking at options closer home. That all changed,of course,when admissions season rolled around.For the first time I seriously considered applying because my mum persuaded me.After taking my SAT for the second time,I received a mail that said my score was in the range of what they might considet and encouraged me to apply.I hesitated at first because I knew the odds were against me,and figured that if I was just going to be rejected anyway,why should I try? But I gave it my best shot,and when 31 March rolled around,I ended up checking my admissions decision while I was still in school.I remembered very clearly sitting in my'class, anxiously taking a look at the clock and wondering if I could check my decision or if I shouldjust wait until school was out.Eventually my impatience got the best of me and I went to one of the computers to check my email. When I saw the word"Congratulations!"on my screen,I remembered taking a'deep breath and leaning back in my chair in shock,but no one else in the room was paying attention.For them, nothing had changed,but for me,it felt my whole world had changed in an instant and all of my hard work had actually paid off. 2 Harvard has been an extremely different experienc for sure.But taking a chance and applying was the best decision I'veever made,and I honestly can't imagine being anywhere else. 14.What contributed othe author's applying for Harvard? A.Elle's influence.B.Mother's persuasion.C.Childhood dream. D.Harvard's location. 15.What does the underined phraseo the bein paragraph 4? A.Encouraged. B.Stopped. C.Defeated. D.Changed 16.Wbat did the author think of the decision to apply for Harvard? A.It was firm and thoughtful. B.It was easy and inspiring. C.It was risky but rewarding. D.It was surprising but satisfying C Cultural festivals are an important part of our global society,showcasing the rich traditions, customs,and values that define various communities.They serve as a bridge between the past and the present,allowing us to maintain a connection and preservation of these events can be challenging,particularly in the face of globalisation and modernisation.This is where artificial intelligence (Al)comes into play. Al is being used to streamline the planning and execution (of cultural festivals.For instance,predictive analytics,a branch of Al,can analyze past data to predict visitor tumnout, enabling orgahisers to plan more effectively.AI can also help in creating personalised experiences for attendees.By analysing data from social media and other sources,AI can provide insights into what attendees might enjoy,allowing for the customisation of events for different interests. Furthermore,Al is proving instrumental in preserving cultural festivals for future generations. High-definition cameras equipped with Al technology are being used to record festivals in exceptionai detail.These digitai records can then be stored and accessed easiiy,ensuring inat the essence of these events are not lost over time.In addition,Al is being used to create virtual reality experiences of cultural festivals,allowing people who cannot physically attend to experience them virtually. AI's role in cultural festivals is not just limited to organisation and preservation.It is also being used to enrich the artistic aspects of these events.For example,Al is being used to create music and art installations()that respond to the audience's movements and reactions,creating a dynamic and interactive experience. However,the use of AI in cultural festivals is not without its challenges.There are concerns about the potential loss of human touch,as well as issues related to data privacy.It is crucial that as we apply the power of Al,we also ensure that it is used responsibly. 17.In what aspect does predictive analytics help cultural festival organisers? A.Recording and storing festival data. B.Offering interactive experiences. C.Planning and executing festivals. D.Promoting the modernisation of festivals. 18.Which of the following is used for protecting cultural festivals? A.Art installations. B.Musical instruments. C AI-powered cameras D.Virtual reality equipment. 1.What is thebhe use ofAl incr festivas? A.The possible loss of human interaction. B.The high cost in employing AI technology. C.The organisers'limited knowledge of Al. D.The difficulty in gathering data for analysis. 20.What is the text mainly about? A.The AI's role in promoting old festivals. B.The application of AI in cultural festivals C.The impact of the changing world on festivals. D.The importance of protecting cultural festivals. 第二节语句排序（共5小题：每小题2分，满分10分） 将下列几个部分(A、B、C、D和E)按题号排序，构成一个符合逻辑的完整语篇。 [21→32→23→2425☐ A.The argument against laptops extends beyond their impact on individual learning.
