That warm spring day, Dad came home holding a small apple sapling (树苗). “Plant it together,” he said. I shook my head. “Why waste time? The store sells apples ready to eat!” But he smiled, quietly opened the roots.
For weeks, I complained (抱怨) as we watered the weak tree. “It’ll never grow!” I said angrily when the strong summer storms nearly made it fall over. Father simply saved it with bamboo sticks, saying, “Good things take time, just like building a strong house.” At that time, I didn’t get what he meant.
Our final exams were at the end of the term. Since I failed math, I tore (撕) my test paper angrily. “I’m done!” Father found me sitting next to our knee-high tree. Instead of giving long speeches, he pointed at its new leaves. “Do you remember when it almost didn’t make it through the storm? Now, it’s standing tall, all because it refused to give up!”
I realized it all of a sudden. I began to study just as the tree grew, slowly yet surely. My father quietly cheered me on. During late-night studying, he’d put energy drinks beside my books. Even without saying anything, his strong hand on my shoulder said it all.
This morning, I found the first red apple shining among the leaves. Dad gently handed it to me after picking it. “Hard work makes it sweet,” he smiled. The apple tasted like someone had poured patience (耐心), love, and a warm hug into it. I’ve always remembered the life’s sweet lesson Dad taught me.

①Loud cheers and laughter filled the hall at St. Paul High School. Everyone was excited because Professor LeBlane from a famous university was putting on an amazing science show!
②Two student volunteers stepped forward. The professor gave each of them a metal half-ball with a handle (把手). He asked them to put the two halves together, and the two halves formed a round metal ball. There was a small air valve (阀门) on one half. The professor got the air out of the ball, then closed the valve. “Now try to pull the two halves apart!” the professor said. The two students pulled hard, their faces turning red, but the ball did not separate. More students joined in, but the metal ball stayed closed.
③“This experiment (实验) shows the power of air pressure around us,” the professor explained. “Even though we can’t feel it, the air outside is pushing so hard that even eight horses couldn’t pull them apart!”
④Next comes the “Freezing Show”. The professor put cabbages and carrots into liquid nitrogen (液氮)—a super-cold liquid (-200℃) that made white smoke. Then he took the vegetables out and threw them on the floor. They broke into small pieces like glass! The show got even more exciting. The professor created a “-78℃ snowstorm” that made students shake and turned frozen bananas into fire. Then he used electric machines to send smoke rings flying toward the cheering students! “That’s amazing!” shouted one student. “I wish my parents were here!” said another.

Most people agree that time is valuable, yet many waste hours staring at their phones daily. This raises a question: If we truly value time, why do we allow screens to take up so much of it?
Once I planted myself in front of the screen all the afternoon, lost in short videos on my phone. Surprisingly, I didn’t feel any happiness or relaxation. I felt so bored that there seemed to be a “hole” in my life.
That’s when I began to make up my mind to break the habit of phone addiction (瘾). A hundred percent break isn’t possible at first. So my plan is to cut down on the phone time as much as possible. My first rule is quite simple: Do not pick up the phone just out of habit. I use it only when necessary, like doing the listening exercises, checking the meanings of a new word and so on. Then I set daily limits on screen time, such as one hour a day. I also try to find other activities to fill my free time.
Too often we just see the phone as a tool to shake off boredom. The result of my cutting down on phone time has turned out to be more interesting. After keeping the plan for just a few days, I’ve read two books. I’ve had more face-to-face talking with my family and friends. I’ve even started an exercise program. Everything is different!
46. The writer found there seemed to be a “hole” in his life after ________ all the afternoon.(不超过5词)
47. The writer made it a rule not to pick up the phone ________________.(不超过5词)
48. Fill in the blanks according to the passage.
How to Solve Phone Addiction
Results of Cutting Down on Phone Time
Use the phone only for necessary tasks.
________(不超过3词)
________(不超过6词)
Have more face-to-face conversations.
Find other activities.
Start an exercise program.
49. What would you do instead of using your phone in your free time and why? Use your own words.

①Loud cheers and laughter filled the hall at St. Paul High School. Everyone was excited because Professor LeBlane from a famous university was putting on an amazing science show!
②Two student volunteers stepped forward. The professor gave each of them a metal half-ball with a handle (把手). He asked them to put the two halves together, and the two halves formed a round metal ball. There was a small air valve (阀门) on one half. The professor got the air out of the ball, then closed the valve. “Now try to pull the two halves apart!” the professor said. The two students pulled hard, their faces turning red, but the ball did not separate. More students joined in, but the metal ball stayed closed.
③“This experiment (实验) shows the power of air pressure around us,” the professor explained. “Even though we can’t feel it, the air outside is pushing so hard that even eight horses couldn’t pull them apart!”
④Next comes the “Freezing Show”. The professor put cabbages and carrots into liquid nitrogen (液氮)—a super-cold liquid (-200℃) that made white smoke. Then he took the vegetables out and threw them on the floor. They broke into small pieces like glass! The show got even more exciting. The professor created a “-78℃ snowstorm” that made students shake and turned frozen bananas into fire. Then he used electric machines to send smoke rings flying toward the cheering students! “That’s amazing!” shouted one student. “I wish my parents were here!” said another.

Most people agree that time is valuable, yet many waste hours staring at their phones daily. This raises a question: If we truly value time, why do we allow screens to take up so much of it?
Once I planted myself in front of the screen all the afternoon, lost in short videos on my phone. Surprisingly, I didn’t feel any happiness or relaxation. I felt so bored that there seemed to be a “hole” in my life.
That’s when I began to make up my mind to break the habit of phone addiction (瘾). A hundred percent break isn’t possible at first. So my plan is to cut down on the phone time as much as possible. My first rule is quite simple: Do not pick up the phone just out of habit. I use it only when necessary, like doing the listening exercises, checking the meanings of a new word and so on. Then I set daily limits on screen time, such as one hour a day. I also try to find other activities to fill my free time.
Too often, we just see the phone as a tool to shake off boredom. The result of my cutting down on phone time has turned out to be more interesting. After keeping the plan for just a few days, I’ve read two books. I’ve had more face-to-face talking with my family and friends. I’ve even started an exercise program. Everything is different!
46. The writer found there seemed to be a “hole” in his life after ________ all the afternoon.(不超过5词)
47. The writer made it a rule not to pick up the phone ________________.(不超过5词)
48. Fill in the blanks according to the passage.

__________________________________________________(结合自身实际,不超过20词)
【答案】46. staring at the phone screen##watching short videos
47. just out of habit
48. ①. Read two books. ②. Set daily limits on screen time.
49. I would read more because it increases my knowledge./…(言之有理即可)
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。主要讲述作者曾因沉迷手机而感到生活空虚,于是下定决心减少手机使用时间,通过制定规则、设定屏幕时间限制、寻找其他活动等方式成功改变习惯,并收获了阅读书籍、与亲友面对面交流、开始锻炼等积极变化的经历。
【46题详解】
根据“Once I planted myself in front of the screen all the afternoon, lost in short videos on my phone.”可知,作者整个下午沉浸在手机短视频中后,感觉生活中有个“洞”。题干中after为介词,后接动名词形式,故填staring at the phone screen/ watching short videos。
【47题详解】
根据“My first rule is quite simple: Do not pick up the phone just out of habit.”可知,作者制定规则是“不要仅仅出于习惯拿起手机”。题干中需填入副词短语作状语,故填just out of habit。
【48题详解】
①根据“After keeping the plan for just a few days, I’ve read two books.”可知,减少看手机时间后,作者读了两本书,这里是减少看手机时间的结果,故填Read two books. ;②根据文中“Then I set daily limits on screen time, such as one hour a day.”以及表格对应右侧“Have more face-to-face conversations.”可知,这里需要填解决手机成瘾的方法,故填Set daily limits on screen time.
