    It was a comfortable sunny Sunday. I was going to meet an old university friend I hadn't seen for years, and was really excited to hear all his news.
    My train was running a little late, but that was no big problem - I could text him to say I would be delayed. He would understand. But… where was my mobile phone? I had that familiar sinking feeling. Yes, I'd forgotten it at home.
    No mobile phone. I'm sure I'm not alone in feeling anxious, on edge and worried when I don't have my phone with me. In fact, I know I'm not alone: two-thirds of us experience ‘nomophobia’, the fear of being out of mobile phone contact.
    That's according to a study from 2012 which surveyed 1,000 people in the UK about their relationship with mobile phones.
    It says we check our mobile phones 34 times a day, that women are more ‘nomophobic’than men, and that 18-24 year-olds are the most likely to suffer fear of being without their mobiles: 77% of them say they are unable to be apart from their phones for more than a few minutes.
    Do you have nomophobia ?
    · You never turn your phone off
    · You obsessively check for texts, missed calls and emails· You always take your phone to the bathroom with you· You never let the battery run out
    It's funny to think that around 20 years ago the only people with mobile phones would be businessperson carrying their large, plastic ‘bricks’.   Of course, these days, mobile phones are everywhere. A UN study from this year said mobile phone subscriptions would outnumber people across the world by the end of 2014.
    And when there are more phones than people in the world, maybe it's time to ask who really is in charge? Are you in control of your phone, or does your phone control you?
    So, what happened with my university friend? When I arrived a few minutes late he just laughed and said: "You haven't changed at all – still always late!" And we had a great afternoon catching up, full of jokes and stories, with no interruptions and no nagging(唠叨的) desire to check my phone.
    Not having it with me felt strangely liberating. Maybe I'll leave it at home on purpose next time.
    小题1:What does the passage talk about ?
    A．The history of mobiles.
    B．The story of meeting an old university friend.
    C．The addiction of playing mobile phone.

    A．WorriedB．FavorableC．NeutralD．Critical

    小题1:D
    小题2:A
    小题3:C
    小题4:B 
    小题5:A

    试题分析：文章大意：本文主要讲述作者自身亲身体验离开手机的生活，阐述了现代年轻人离开手机的各种恐惧。
    小题1:D主旨大意题。文章主要讲述作者自身亲身体验离开手机的生活的各种恐惧。故用标题The terrible feeling of being without their mobiles.故D正确。
    小题2:A词义推测题。根据此词前面一句 No mobile phone. I'm sure I'm not alone in feeling anxious可知推测on edge表示“紧张的”之意。故A正确。
    小题3:C细节理解题。根据文章倒数第四段中It's funny to think that around 20 years ago the only people with mobile phones would be businessperson carrying their large, plastic ‘bricks’.可以得出答案。故C正确。
    小题4:B细节理解题。根据文章第五段It says we check our mobile phones 34 times a day, that women are more ‘nomophobic’than men, and that 18-24 year-olds are the most likely to suffer fear of being without their mobiles可知两个关键信息，一个是女性，另一个是18-24岁之间。故B正确。
    小题5:A细节理解题。根据文章最后一段Not having it with me felt strangely liberating. Maybe I'll leave it at home on purpose next time可知作者是一种担心。故A正确。

    Is it necessary for a young man to have an apartment as a prerequisite（先决条件） for marriage? Housing has become a major obstacle（障碍） for Chinese young men hoping to start a family. China may breed a new group of bachelors, men caught in the trap of unaffordable houses.
    Since early 2009, the housing market has once again become a hot pot at boiling point. Even with allowance（津贴） and special government policies, home prices in China's first-tier cities such as Beijing and Shanghai are riding the crest（波峰）of a rising wave. According to the "2010 China Marital Status Report" released on Dec 15, 2010, about 70 percent of women interviewed said that housing, a stable income and some savings were the main requirements for marriage.
    From the report, we can see that housing is given top priority（优先权） and that women see an apartment as essential(必不可少的) to show that the man is responsible and can provide for his family.
    Personality and morals lay outside the top three matrimonial （婚姻的）requirements. Some women and their families hold the traditional position and take it for granted that the home issue should be the man's responsibility, which doesn’t agree with the contemporary independent spirit of women and gender equality. These marriage values reflect the fact that many women consider marriage another form of "social welfare".
    Things may be different overseas. Social housing, provided by European authorities, offer the less wealthy people their own piece of real estate. Such housing is usually apartments in tall buildings with 10 or more floors on the outskirts of town, whose main advantage is the low rents.
    For many Americans, houses don't pose an obstacle to getting married. They often buy a house after the wedding, because more and more people are reconsidering their real estate worship, and going back to a more rational(理性的) mode of consumption.
    In Japan, renting is the custom for newly married young couples. Few young couples can afford to purchase property. Up to 67.1 percent of young couples choose to rent. Generally speaking, renters account for most people younger than 40 in Japan.
    Young people should be free to enjoy being young, without the huge pressure of trying to buy property. Society should help create an environment for them to grow up. Don't let the poor bachelor group become a suffering layer（层） of our society.
    小题1:Which of the following is Not True according to the text?
    A．Home prices have been extremely high since early 2009.
    B．In the modern society, women don’t want to be independent.
    C．Chinese government has already done something to control home prices.
    D．Lots of Chinese young men couldn’t get married because of their economic capability.
    小题2:What does the underlined word “outskirts” probably mean?
    A．urban areasB．rural areas（乡下）
    C．suburbsD．downtown areas
    小题3:Why do many women take housing as one of the main requirements for marriage?
    A．Because they can’t afford a house.
    B．Because they enjoy their social welfare.
    C．Because their families want them to marry men with houses.
    D．Because they think it’s a symbol of the men’s sense of responsibility.
    小题4:The author uses the examples of European countries, America and Japan to show that __________?
    A．new couples in those countries like to rent houses
    B．the situation is different in some foreign countries
    C．it’s better to live in those countries than live in China
    D．their governments have done more than Chinese government
    小题5:The last paragraph is mainly about the author’s hope that __________?
    A．the society can develop rapidly
    B．young people can lead a happy life
    C．all the young people can afford houses
    D．the poor bachelors can become rich and enjoy their life

    From Avatar to Lord of the Rings, plants are no strangers to playing big movie roles. However, no one has ever shot a film that plants themselves can watch until now. In a New York art gallery, seven house plants have spent the last seven weeks watching Strange Skies, the first travel documentary for a vegetable audience. All the plants sat in the cinema in rows, enjoying themselves in Italian sunshine.
    The movie was made by American artist Jonathon Keats. It consists of Italian skies recorded over two months and made into a six-minute-long movie. The film shows the clear dawn(黎明), high clouds, amazing dusk and then beautiful night. The movie has no sound and the plants, of course, do not applaud. But Stephen Squibb, a professor from Harvard University, said these plants could benefit from it—the light of the movie keeps them alive because they can continue the process of turning light into energy.
    “I realized there was a much larger audience—plants—that were not being serviced, ”Keats said. “I wanted to provide plants with entertainment that companies such as Disney provide for humans. ”Meanwhile, Keats also wants to explore plants’ sensibilities(敏感性)further. He plans to open a“restaurant for plants”at a Californian museum.
    One visitor, photographer Abbas Ebrahimi, admired(羡慕)the green audience, “Plants are better than us. We die and go, while in spring they come back each time. ”But when talking about the movie, he said after thinking for a few minutes, “It doesn’t mean anything to me at all. It’s just about light. For some people, it might mean something. ”
    小题1:What can we learn about Keats according to the passage?
    A．He is an artist from Harvard University.
    B．He opened a restaurant for plants.
    C．He made the film Strange Skies.
    D．He liked recording Italian skies.
    小题2:It can be learned that Strange Skies　　　.
    A．has already created beautiful sound
    B．was shot from dawn to dusk
    C．made plants play roles in it
    D．is the first travel film for plants
    小题3:What did Stephen Squibb think of Strange Skies?
    A．He thought it had explored plants’ sensibilities.
    B．He thought it meant nothing to him.
    C．He thought it could keep plants growing.
    D．He thought it offered entertainment to plants.
    小题4:Why did Abbas Ebrahimi admire the green audience?
    A．Because they die and re-grow in spring.
    B．Because they mean something to him.
    C．Because there are more plants than people.
    D．Because they can enjoy the movie.

    No one knows why we sleep, but it’s certain that we need to. People who are prevented from sleeping begin to suffer obvious effects after a few days—they think less clearly, and they fall asleep during the working hours; some may have hallucinations(幻觉).?
    There are no rules about sleep. Generally speaking, grown-ups sleep about 7 and a half hours each night and probably more than 60 per cent get between seven and eight hours. But perhaps eight per cent are quite happy with 5 hours or less, and four per cent or so find that they want ten hours or more. If you feel all right, you’re probably getting enough sleep. The important thing is not to worry how much other people get—their needs may be different. Exercise doesn’t seem to increase the need for sleep—office workers, for example, sleep for about as long as people doing physically active work.?
    Children sleep more than grown-ups—perhaps 14 to 18 hours soon after birth, going down to grown-up levels by early teenage. Sleep patterns also tend(倾向) to be different in the elderly, who may sleep less at night than they did when younger, find sleep getting more broken, and often make it a rule to sleep during the daytime.
    小题1:According to the passage, some people are unable to think clearly because ___________ .
    A．they have hallucinations
    B．they feel sleepy during the working hours
    C．they don’t have enough sleep
    D．they are certain to be kept from going to bed
    小题2:Which of the following is TRUE?
    A．All grown-ups must have at least eight-hour sleep.
    B．Most of grown-ups sleep for seven or eight hours.
    C．Quite a few people need only 5 hours or less for them to sleep.
    D．No grown-ups sleep more than ten hours.
    小题3:Whether you have got enough sleep is judged by__________.
    A．how many hours you have slept
    B．how many hours you need to sleep
    C．whether you do exercise and physical work
    D．whether you feel fresh and energetic
    小题4:According to the passage, a boy of 14 years old sleeps__________.
    A．as long hours as a grown-up
    B．much longer hours than a grown-up
    C．for 14 hours each night
    D．for less than 8 hours per night

    There are people in Italy who can’t stand soccer. Not all Canadians love hockey. A similar situation exists in America, where there are those individuals you may be one of them who frown when somebody mentions baseball. Baseball to them means boring hours watching grown men in funny tight outfits standing around in a field staring away while very little of anything happens. They tell you it’s a game better suited to the 19th century, slow, quiet, and gentlemanly. These are the same people you may be one of them who love football because there’s the sport that values “the hit”.
    By contrast, baseball seems abstract, cool, silent, still.
    On TV the game is divided into a dozen perspectives, replays, close-ups. The geometry(几何学) of the game, however, is essential to understanding it. You will view the game from one point as a painter does his subject; you may, of course, project yourself into the game. It is in this projection that the game affords so much space and time for involvement. The TV won’t do it for you.
    Take, for example, the third baseman. You sit behind the third base and you watch him watching home plate. His legs are apart, knees flexed(弯曲). His arms hang loose. He does a lot of this. The skeptic(怀疑论者) still cannot think of any other sports so still, so passive. But watch what happens every time the pitcher throws: the third baseman goes up on his toes, flexes his arms or brings the glove to a point in front of him, takes a step right or left, backward or forward, perhaps he glances across the field to check his first baseman’s position. Suppose the pitch is a ball. “Nothing happened,” you say. “I could have had my eyes closed.”
    The skeptic and the innocent must play the game. And this involvement in the stands is no more intellectual than listening to music is. Watch the third baseman. Smooth the dirt in front of you with one foot; smooth the pocket in your glove; watch the eyes of the batter, the speed of the bat, the sound of ball on wood. If football is a symphony of movement and theatre, baseball is chamber music, a spacious interlocking(连锁) of notes, chorus（和声）and responses.
    小题1:The passage is mainly concerned with            .
    A．the attraction of baseball
    B．the superiority of football
    C．the different tastes of people for sports
    D．the different characteristics of sports
    小题2:Those who don’t like baseball may complain that           .
    A．it is only to the taste of the old
    B．it is not exciting enough
    C．it involves fewer players than football
    D．it is pretentious and looks funny
    小题3:The author admits that         .
    A．baseball may seem boring when watched on TV
    B．football is more attracting than baseball
    C．baseball is more interesting than football
    D．baseball is too peaceful for the young
    小题4:By stating “I could have had my eyes closed”, the author means (4th paragraph last sentence)        .
    A．The consequence was so bad that he could not bear to see it
    B．The third baseman is so good at baseball that he could finish the game with eyes closed all the time and do his work well
    C．Even if the third baseman closed his eyes a moment ago, it could make no difference to the result
    D．The third baseman would rather sleep than play the game

    My interest in Chinese food started years a90, when l was a young reporter for the Washington Post. Our office wasn’t far from Chinatown, where I found some very good Chinese restaurants．
    The first time I ever ate Chinese food I loved it. I noticed the fresh taste of the meat and vegetables. When I learned more about the food, I began to understand why it has this special feature.
    Many years ago, China had an energy crisis because it lost much of its wood due to over population and poor management of its forests. This loss was very bad for the country, of course, but it turned out to be very good for the food. Wood became very expensive and hard to get，so the Chinese had to either find a substitute for their valuable wood，or learn how to use it better. There weren’t any substitutes so people found ways to economize.
    In order to economize in cookin9, they had to use very little wood. So they started cutting their meat and vegetables into small pieces before they put them in the hot oil．That way，the food cooked faster and they saved their fuel. The food prepared in this way kept its fresh flavor一and it's this flavor that attracts people from other countries to the art of Chinese cooking.
    小题1:This text is mainly about________.
    A．what caused Chinese food to taste fresh
    B．how Chinese food is cooked in the US
    C．when the author started to make Chinese food
    D．why most foreigners like cooking Chinese food
    小题2:The author mentioned the energy crisis to show________.
    A．it is important to protect the forests
    B．it is necessary to find substitutes for wood
    C．why the Chinese changed their way of cooking
    D．what problems a big population is causing China today
    小题3:It can be inferred from the text that before the energy crisis Chinese food________.
    A．was cooked in rather large pieces
    B．was cooked in water but not oil
    C．didn’t taste good
    D．didn’t look fresh
