With the development of our society, cell phones have become a common

22．（8分）part in our lives. Have you ever run into a careless cell phone user on the street? Maybe

they were busy talking, texting or checking updates on WeChat without looking at what

was going on around them. As the number of this new “species” of human has kept

rising, they have been given a new name—phubbers (低头族).

Recently a cartoon created by students from China Central Academy of Fine Arts

put this group of people under the spotlight. In the short film, phubbers with various

social identities bury themselves in their phones. A doctor plays with his cell phone while

letting his patient die, a pretty woman takes a selfie (自拍) in front of a car accident site,

and a father loses his child without knowing about it while using his mobile phone. A

chain of similar events finally leads to the destruction(毁灭) of the world.

Although the ending of the film sounds unrealistic, the damage phubbing can bring

is real. Your health is the first to bear the effect and result of it. “Always bending your

head to check your cell phone could damage your neck,”

Guangming Daily quoted

doctors’ words. “The neck is like a rope that breaks after long-term stretching.” Also,

staring at cell phones for a long time will damage your eyesight gradually, according to

the report.

But that’s not all. Being a phubber could also damage your social skills and drive

you away from your friends and family. When getting together with family or friends,

many people prefer to play their cell phones while others are chatting happily with each

other and this creates a strange atmosphere,

Qilu Evening News reported.

It can also cost your life. There have been lots of reports on phubbers who fell to

their death, suffered accidents, and were robbed of their cell phones in broad daylight.

1、Why does the author give the example of a cartoon in Paragraph 2?

A．To suggest phubbers will destroy the world.

B．To call for people to go walking without phones.

C．To tell people of the bad effects of phubbing.

D．To advise students to create more cartoons like this.

2、According to the passage, what risks may a phubber have?

①Destructing the world

②Affecting his social skills

③Damaging his neck and eyesight

④Getting separated from his friends and family

A．①②④ B．②③④ C．①③④ D．①②③④

3、What’s the author’s attitude towards phubbing?

A．Supportive B．Confident C．Disapproving D．Unconcerned

4、What will be talked about in the following paragraph?

A．Ways to avoid the risks of phubbing. B．Bad effects of phubbing.

C．Daily life of phubbers. D．Methods of phubbing.

Early in the

Iliad, Homer's epic poemabout the legendary, Trojan

23．（8分）（史诗）War, there occurs a famous anecdote known as the catalogue of ships, which names all

the Greek leaders and contingents(小分队) who came to fight at Troy. Before unfolding

this impressive muster roll (花名册)，Homer makes a special, public appeal to the Muses

to ensure he gets the facts right:

Tell me now, Muses, who have your homes on Olympus-- for you are goddesses, and

ever-present, and know all things, and we hear only rumour: nor do we know anything

These lines reflect a central claim of epic poetry—that through the inspiration of

the Muses, daughters of Memory, it can preserve the knowledge of people and the events

of the past —a formidable power in the non-literate, oral cultures in which the Iliad

evolved. The Iliad was composed around 750-700 BC, but its origins lie at least some five

centuries earlier, deep in the Mycenaean Bronze Age---the world the Iliad

poetically

evokes.

The

Iliad

is keenly aware of its role as the keeper of memory, and credibility is

central to its storytelling. The epic is a work of fiction, and relates the events of a few

weeks in the tenth and final year of the Trojan War fought between Greeks and Trojans

over beautiful Helen, the Greek queen who deserted her husband to elope with a Trojan

prince. Its cast of characters includes not only warriors and their captives and families,

but the immortal Olympian gods, who perform many supernatural acts in the course of

their eager participation in the action around Troy.

The Iliad has the reputation for being an exclusively(专门地) male epic, weak on

female characters, but to choose only one example—Homer's delicate characterization

of Helen as a woman driven by reluctant remorseful(悔恨的) passion is as hauntingly（萦绕心头地）credible as any Anna Karenina.

Longinus, a scholar in the 1st Century AD wrote that in recording as he does the

wounding of the gods, their quarrels, vengeance, tears, imprisonment and all their

passions Homer has done his best to make the men in the Iliad gods and gods men. The

scene between Achilles and Priam displays this inversion and crystallises what the

Iliad

poets had learned in the course of the epic’s Journey. That the gods we worship might

not answer, and on occasion humanity must rise to fill their place. That glory is closely

associated with painful loss. That the victor shares the humanity of the most vulnerable

of the vanquished（战败者）; that there is no such thing as pure victory in war.

1、The

Iliad about the legendary Trojan War, might date back to _______.

A．the third century BC B．the seventh century BC

C．the eighth century BC D．the thirteenth century BC

2、According to the passage,______________________________.

A．being reliable is essential to the storytelling of the Iliad

B．Trojan War between Greeks and Trojans lasted over a decade

C．Trojan War ended owning to the Olympian gods’ absence

D．beautiful Helen is a woman worth respecting in the

Iliad

3、Why does the

Iliad have the reputation for being an exclusively male epic?

A．Because it focuses only on men and war.

B．Because too few females were well depicted.

C．Because its cast of characters includes only males.

D．Because Helen was described as a passionate woman.

4、Which of the following statements doesn’t agree with the author’s idea?

A．Pure victory in war does not exist at all.

B．Glory is naturally accompanied with saddening loss.

C．The victor gains everything without any emotional loss.

D．Both the victor and the vanquished share the same humanity.

Residents in the poorest counties in the U.S. face a life expectancy up

24．（8分）to decade shorter than their counterparts in the wealthiest areas, according to a study

published in the American Journal of Public Health.

Researchers from East Tennessee State University wanted to better understand

how socioeconomic status was associated with heath outcomes. To find out they divided

the country’s 3,141 counties into 50 new ‘states’ (with 2 percent of the counties in each)

based on household income as opposed to geographic proximity (接近).

The researchers broke down the data by county since they found state-level data

may hide some ‘impact of socioeconomic differences on both the best-off and worst-off

counties.’ They then examined health data from the wealthiest and poorest ‘states’ (top

and bottom 2 percent) to see how residents differed on factors like smoking, clinical care

and excessive drinking. Researchers found that there was nearly a 10-year gap in the life

expectancy of men with an average of 79.3 years in the wealthy counties compared to

69.8 years in the poorest. For women, the difference was slightly less - 83 years in the

wealthiest counties and 76 years in the poorest.

The study authors caution that while they found a connection between

socioeconomic status and health outcomes, they did not analyze cause and effect. But

they suggest that the data shows how policy makers should not just focus on state-wide

initiatives (主动性) but more targeted efforts to help those most at risk. “With limited

resources, methods of pinpointing the poorest counties can assist in the allocation of

resources and programs to those communities that are in the greatest need,’’ the study

authors wrote.

1、How did Researchers divide the counties?

A．By social status.

C．By health.

B．By income.

D．By living places.

2、Which of the following is TRUE according to Paragraph 3?

A．The women difference is less than the man in life expectancy.

B．The wealthiest ‘state’ like hiding their wealth.

C．Most health data is unbelievable.

D．Most poorest ‘state’ smoke and drink a lot.

3、What can we infer from the last paragraph?

A．The researchers think their study is perfect.

B．People still don’t know the cause of life expectancy.

C．The government should learn something from the study.

D．The American resources allocation is not fair at all.

4、What would be the best title for the passage?

A．Ways to have a long life expectancy

B．Great income differences in the USA

C．The health problem in the USA

D．Men in richest 10 years longer in poorest

25．（10分）I’d have to say that the schemes to reduce staff absence and increase

punctuality(准时) have been a big success. We’ve seen that staff attendance levels have

increased from 88% to 93%, and levels of punctuality have increased from 79% to 91%,

which is fantastic. And the number of days that staff have taken off for sickness has

dropped from an average of nine days per year to just five. There has also been a

general increase in motivation at work, and we’ve seen output increase by at least 16%

since this time last year.

So, what have we been doing to improve things? Well, for a start, we’ve been

introducing a scheme so that employees get bonuses if company production targets and

sales figures are met. And if things carry on as they are, all employees will have received

a bonus by the end of next month. We’ve also introduced a system whereby employees

and management set personal targets. Then, the individual employee receives a bonus if

these targets are met. And to help with punctuality, we’ve installed a new system that

records exactly what time people are getting in and leaving the office. This has helped

improve punctuality rates substantially.

Another initiative has been the installation of a games room for employees to use

during mid-morning and lunch breaks. We’ve found that it’s a great way to motivate

staff, giving them time to relax. As part of this, we’ve bought a ping pong table, a

basketball hoop and a darts board. And by next week, the two table-football tables that

we ordered last month will have arrived. Since opening the games room, staff have been

using it constantly, especially the beds that we bought to allow staff to have a short nap

during the day. Along similar lines, we’ve also organized a number of teambuilding

excursions.

1、Why does the author list some figures in Paragraph One?

A．To prove the plans work well

B．To show employees to be more punctual

C．To present the production grows obviously

D．To prove the increase of workers’ attendance

2、What have they done to help with punctuality?

A．They’ve set personal targets

B．They’ve weakened demands on employees

C．They’ve introduced a scheme to give employees bonuses

D．They’ve recorded workers’ coming and leaving by a new system

3、What has been most popular in the games room?

A．A ping pong table B．A darts board

C．A basketball hoop D．A nap bed

4、As readers, who may benefit most from this article?

A．Students B．Managers

C．Teachers D．Farmers
