And that, he claims, is pretty muchall of us. When we’ renot online, where we spend four months annually, we’ reengaged in the stressful work of trying to get online.The Distraction Addiction is not framed as a self-help book. It ’asthoughtfulexamination of of how technological advances change consciousness. A“ professiona futurist 〞Pang, urges an approach which he calls“contemplative (沉思的)computing.〞He asks that you pay full attention to “how your mind and body interactwith computers and how your attention and creativity are influenced by technology〞.Pang’ s firstjob is to free you from the common misconception that doing twothings at once allows you to get more done. What is commonly called multitasking is,in fact, switch-tasking, and its harmful effects on productivity are well documented.Pang doesn't advocate returning to a pre-Internet world. Instead, he asks you to“takea more ecological view of your relationships with technologies. Modern devices ormedia may be making specific tasks easier or faster but at the same time making yourwork and life harder.〞The Distraction Addiction is particularly fascinating on how technologies havechanged certain fields of labor —often for the worse. For architects, computer-aideddesign has become essential but in some ways has cheapened the design process. Asone architect puts it,“ Architecture is first and foremost about thinking...and drawingis a more productive way of thinking〞than computer-aided design. Somewhat lessamusing are Pang ’s solutions for kicking the Internet habitrecommends.He the usual behavior-controlling approaches, familiar to anyone who has completed a quit-smoking program. Keep logs to study your online profile and decide what you can knock out, download a program like Freedom that locks you out of your browser, or take a “digital Sabbath ( 安息日 )〞: “Unless you’re a reporter or emergency-department doctor, you'll discover that your world doesn’tfall apart when you go offline. 〞4.Alex Pang’s new book is aimed for readers who ______.A.find their work online too stressfulB.go online mainly for entertainmentC.are fearful about using the cellphone or computerD.can hardly tear themselves away from the Internet5.What does Alex Pang try to do in his new book?A.Offer advice on how to use the Internet effectively.B.Warn people of the possible dangers of Internet use.C.Predict the trend of future technological development.D.Examine the influence of technology on the human mind.6.What is the common view on multitasking?A.It enables people to work more efficiently.B.It is in a way quite similar to switch-tasking.C.It makes people’s work and life even harder.D.It distracts people’sattention from useful work.7.What is Alex Pang’s recommendation for Internet users?A.They use the Internet as little as possible.B.They keep a record of their computer use time.C.They exercise self-control over their time online.D.They entertain themselves online on off-days only.（C〕I live in the land of Disney, Hollywood and year-round sun. You may thinkpeople in such a glamorous, fun-filled place are happier than others. If so, youhave some mistaken ideas about the nature of happiness.Many intelligent people still equate happiness with fun. The truth is that fun and happiness have little or nothing in common. Fun is what we experience during an act. Happiness is what we experience after an act. It is a deeper, more abiding emotion.Going to an amusement park or ball game, watching a movie or television, are fun activities that help us relax, temporarily forget our problems and maybe even laugh. But they do not bring happiness, because their positive effects end when the fun ends.I have often thought that if Hollywood stars have a role to play, it is to teach us that happiness has nothing to do with fun. These rich, beautiful individual have constant access to glamorous parties, fancy cars, expensive homes, everything that spells “happiness〞. But in memoir after memoir, celebrities reveal that unhappiness hidden beneath all their fun: depression, alcoholism, drug addiction, broken marriages, troubled children and profound loneliness.Ask a bachelor why he resists marriage even though he finds dating to be less and less satisfying. If he’s honest, he will tell you that he is afraid of making a commitment. For commitment is in fact quite painful. The single life is filled with fun, adventure and excitement. Marriage has such moments, but they are not its most distinguishing features.Similarly, couples that choose not to have children are deciding in favor of painless fun over painful happiness. They can dine out whenever they want andsleep as late as they want. Couples with babies are lucky to get a whole night ’ssleep or a three-day vacation. I don’t know any parent who would choose the wordfun to describe raising children. However, they all feel blessed to have children.Understanding and accepting that true happiness has nothing to do with fun is one of the most liberating realizations we can ever come to. It liberates time: nowwe can devote more hours to activities that can genuinely increase our happiness. It liberates money: buying that new car or those fancy clothes that will do nothing to increase our happiness now seems pointless. And it liberates us from envy: we nowunderstand that all those rich and glamorous people we were so sure are happy because they are always having so much fun actually may not be happy at all.8.Which of the following can be inferred from the passage?A.Fun creates long-lasting satisfaction.B.Fun provides enjoyment while pain leads to happiness.C.Happiness is enduring whereas fun is short-lived.D.Fun that is long-standing may lead to happiness.9.To the author, Hollywood stars all have an important role to play that is to__________.A.write memoir after memoir about their happiness.B.tell the public that happiness has nothing to do with fun.C.teach people how to enjoy their lives.D.bring happiness to the public instead of going to glamorous parties.10.Couples having babies ____________.A.are lucky since they can have a whole night’s sleep.B.find fun in tucking them into bed at night.C.find more time to play and joke with them.D.gain happiness from their endeavor.11.If one gets the meaning of the true sense of happiness, he will ____________.A.stop playing games and joking with othersB.make the best use of his time increasing happinessC.give a free hand to moneyD.keep himself with his family〔D〕If you think a high-factor sunscreen ( 防晒霜 ) keeps you safe from harmful rays, you may be wrong. Research in this week’s Nature shows that while factor 50 reduces the number of melanomas (黒瘤 ) and delays their occurrence, it can’tprevent them. Melanomas are the most aggressive skin cancers. You have a higher risk if you have red or blond hair, fair skin, blue or green eyes, or sunburn easily, or if a close relativehas had one. Melanomas are more common if you have periodic intense exposureto the sun. Other skin cancers are increasingly likely with long-term exposure.There is continuing debate as to how effective sunscreen is in reducing melanomas--- the evidence is weaker than it is for preventing other types of skin cancer. A 2021 Australian study of 1,621 people found that people randomly selected to apply sunscreen daily had half the rate of melanomas of people who used cream as needed. A second study, comparing 1,167 people with melanomas to 1,101 who didn't have the cancer, found that using sunscreen routinely, alongside other protection such as hats, long sleeves or staying in the shade, did give some protection. This study said other forms of sun protection ---not sunscreen--- seemed most beneficial. The study relied on people remembering what they had done over each decade of their lives, so it's not entirely reliable. But it seems reasonable to think sunscreen gives people a false sense of security in the sun.Many people also don't use sunscreen properly ---applying insufficient amounts, failing to reapply after a couple of hours and staying in the sun too long. It is sunburn that is most worrying--- recent research shows five episodes of sunburn in the teenage years increases the risk of all skin cancers.The good news is that a combination of sunscreen and covering up can reduce melanoma rates, as shown by Australian figures from their slip-slop-slap campaign. So if there is a heat wave this summer, it would be best for us, too, to slip on a shirt, slop on (抹上 ) sunscreen and slap on a hat.12.What does the research in Nature say about a high-factor sunscreen?A.It is ineffective in preventing melanomas.B.It is ineffective in case of intense sunlight.C.It is ineffective with long-term exposure.D.It is ineffective for people with fair skin.13.What do we learn from the 2021 Australian study of 1,621 people?A.Sunscreen should be applied alongside other protection measures.B.High-risk people benefit the most from the application of sunscreen.C.Irregular application of sunscreen does women more harm than good.D. Daily application of sunscreen helps reduce the incidence of melanomas.14.What does the author say about the second Australian study?A.It misleads people to rely on sunscreen for protection.B.It helps people to select the most effective sunscreen.C.It is not based on direct observation of the subjects.D.It confirms the results of the first Australian study.15.What does the author suggest to reduce melanoma rates?ing both covering up and sunscreen.B.Staying in the shade whenever possible.ing covering up instead of sunscreen.D.Applying the right amount of sunscreen.第二节阅读填空〔共 5 小题：每题 2 分，总分值10 分〕依据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最正确选项。

B．A website. C．A textbook. D．A magazine.BThe 97-year-old botanist, Margaret Bradshaw, is the chief caretaker of Teesdale’s rarest flowers. “Everything about Teesdale is unique,” says Bradshaw with pride—and the authority of someone who has just written a 288-page book on the subject. Bradshaw has been recording rare plants here since the early 1950s and has witnessed great decreases. Her data was the first to prove that—and the need to do something about it.The main reason for the decrease of these plants is an unusual one. The number of sheep in Teesdale had been reduced by half by 2000, as the uplands were generally believed there were too many sheep. Bradshaw says while sheep are hunted in some upland areas, reducing herding in Teesdale has been destructive. Longer grass overshadows the delicate (娇嫩) flowers, taking away the light they need to grow. As a result of her findings and her work with farmers who herd the land—as well as Natural England, which manages it—sheep numbers are increasing and the timing of herding is being carefully managed. This has led to the partial recovery of some plants.At 93, she set up Teesdale Special Flora Research and Conservation Trust to record rare plants. A keen horse rider, at 95, she did a 55-mile horse journey across Teesdale, raising almost $ 10,000 for the Trust. When asked about the secret to longevity, “Just keep going,” she says.“Keep at it. Don’t sit down and just watch TV.”“I recognise I’m getting older and I’ve been trying to get more people to take over and do the records. Thev don’t believe I won’t be here forever.” Bradshaw says. Despite Bradshaw’s guardianship of this land, and the love and energy she has put into saving it, the future here is unknown. The last words of her book speak to this endless loss. “This is our heritage, this unique plant species, mine and yours,” she writes. “In spite of trying, I have failed to prevent its decrease, now it is up to you.”4．What is Margaret Bradshaw’s main work with the rare plants?A．Writing a book. B．Preventing their decrease.C．Collecting their data. D．Directing farmers to grow plants:5．What contributed to the reduction of rare plants in Teesdale?A．Not enough sheep. B．Lack of fund.C．Poor management. D．Too many sheep. 6．What can we learn from Bradshaw’s words in the last paragraph?A．Unity brings strength. B．Many hands make light work.C．Youthful at heart, regardless of age. D．Advance what the forerunners began.7．Which might be a suitable title for the text?A．Teesdale: Home to Rare Plants B．Battling for Teesdale’s Wildflowers C．Bradshaw: A 97-Year-Old Gardener D．Exploring Teesdale’s Unique PlantsCFlash droughts (突发性干旱) develop fast, and when they hit at the wrong time, they can ruin a region’s agriculture. They are also becoming increasingly common as the planet warms. In a study, published in the journalCommunication Earth & Environment, we found that—the risk of flash droughts, which can develop in a few weeks, is on pace to rise in every major agricultural region around the world in the coming decades.In North America and Europe, cropland that had a 32% annual chance of a flash drought a few years ago could have a greater chance of a flash drought by the final decades of this century. That result would put food production, energy, and water supplies under increasing pressure. The cost of ravage will also rise A flash drought in the Dakotas and Montana in 2017 caused $2.6 billion reduction in agricultural in America alone.All droughts begin when rainfall stops. What’s interesting about flash droughts is how fast they reinforce themselves, with some help from the warming climate. When the weather is hot and dry, soil loses water rapidly. Dry air extracts moisture from the land, and rising temperature can increase this evaporative demand. The lack of rain during a flash drought can further contribute to the feedback processes. Under these conditions, crops and vegetation begin to die much more quickly than they do during typical long-term droughts.In our study, we used climate models and data from the past 170 years to assess the drought risks ahead under three conditions for how quickly the world takes action to slow the pace of global warming. If greenhouse gas emissions (排放物) from vehicles, power plants, and other human sources continue at a high rate, we found that cropland in much of North America and Europe would have a 53% annual chance of flash droughts respectively, by the final decades of this century. Globally, the largest projected increases in flash droughts would be in Europe and the Amazon Slowing emıssıons can reduce the risk significantly, but we found flash droughts would still increase by about 6% worldwide under low-emission conditions.8．Why is the flash drought a concern?A．It often develops and strikes unexpectedly B．It does go hand in hand with rainfall.C．It can be destructive to regional agriculture. D．Its chance has increased dramatically.9．What does the underlined word “ravage” mean in paragraph 2?A．Control. B．Assessment. C．Productions D．Damage.10．Which of the following is a direct contributor to flash droughts?A．The constant rainfall. B．The increasing food demand.C．The warming planet. D．The fast pace of modern life11．What can be done to reduce the drought risks according to the last paragraph?A．To cut down on carbon footprint B．To evaluate the risks regularlyC．To study climate models and data. D．To monitor weather condition:DOn September 9, 2024, Apple released its latest iPhone 16 series at an event called “It’s: Glowtime”. At the event, Tim Cook, the company’s CEO, played up the promise of the phones’ AI features in a pre-recorded video Indeed, the demonstration seemed impressive. When Cook pointed the camera at a restaurant, the AI assistant Siri could tell him what was on the menu. It also could answer his questions fairly well and learn about the users from their interactions with their devices. For instance, Siri could know if a user’s mother was calling and acted appropriately.Apple is one of many firms that want to take AI beyond huge data centres, known as the cloud, and run it on smaller devices, known as the edge. Samsung, Apple’s major competitor, launched its Galaxy S24 with some AIfeatures earlier this year. So did Microsoft, which has launched Windows PCs designed for AI. But their efforts have shown that it is not easy to shift cloud-based AI models to the edge devices.At present, cloud-based AI models are mostly trained on graphics processing units (GPUs) that consume so much energy that it can take a nuclear-power plant to fuel them. They also need huge amounts of memory and data. All these can cost hundreds of millions of dollars. Even once they are trained, running these AI models is costly. According to one estimate, it costs OpenAI, the maker of ChatGPT, 36 cents every time someone asks its AI model a question.Companies are experimenting with various solutions to these problems. Apple will offer on-device AI to deal with the easiest tasks, but send trickier problems to the firm’s private cloud. The service will direct the most difficult requests to third-party models such as ChatGPT. But even such smaller on-device AI models require-a lot of computing power to run which puts huge stress on the edge devices’ batteries.“Making the technology work could not only start a supercycle in device sales. but also create new opportunities for apps and digital advertising,” says Neil Shah of Counterpoint, a research firm. “But for the moment, edge devices are barely ready for basic functions, let alone Glowtime.”12．What is the second paragraph mainly about?A．The Glowtime event. B．iPhone 16’s AI featuresC．Tim Cook’s performance. D．The future of AI phones13．Why are Samsung and Microsoft mentioned in the Text?A．To tell readers how bad competition can be.B．To warn Apple of the potential consequences.C．To compare their newly released edge devices.D．To show how hard it is to apply Al to edge devices.14．What is the problem with cloud-based AI models?A．OpenAI charges too much money.

That is why some friendships don’t last long. To have a friend, you must learn to be one. You must learn to treat your friend the way you want your friend to treat you. Learning to be a good friend means learning three rules: be honest; be generous (慷慨的); be understanding.Honesty is where a good friendship starts. Friends must be able to trust one another. If you do not tell the truth, people usually find out. If a friend finds out that you haven’t been honest, you may lose your friend’s trust. Good friends always rely on one another to speak and act honestly.Generosity means sharing and sharing makes a friendship grow. You do not have to give your lunch money or your clothes. Naturally you will want to share your ideas and feelings. These can be very valuable to a friend. They tell your friend what is important to you. By sharing them, you help your friend know better.Sooner or later everyone needs understanding and help with each other. Something may go wrong at school. Talking about the problem can make it easier to solve. Turning to a friend can be a first step in solving the problem. So to be a friend you must listen and understand. You must try to put yourself in your friend’s shoes so that you can understand the problem better.No two friendships are exactly alike. But all true friendships have three things in common. If you plan to keep your friends, you must practice honesty, generosity and understanding.29.

Around one in twelve of those surveyed said they had gone without food for a whole day because of lack of money in the past year. The survey also showed that one in five grown- ups bought cheaper food while almost one in ten depended on friends and families for a meal.Laura Sandys, founder of the Food Foundation said," Not only is this unacceptable in 21st century Britain but we also have to start considering the health problems of the next generation(一代). We know that food insecurity(无保障) can cause some unhealthy eating habits and force people to buy cheaper and less nutritious”.Labour Member of Parliament Emma Lewell- Buck said, " Now is the time for the Government to sit up and deal with the problem of hunger in our country. We know that 1.1 million food parcels are given out in Trussell Trust food banks alone, but these numbers are clearly the tip of the iceberg-- the United Nations has said over eight million people in the UK are food insecure, and rising levels of hospital stays because of malnutrition(营养不良) cost the National Health Service £2 billion each year.”Rachel Treweek from the Church of England said, I’m surprised by the generosity of the people who run food banks in churches all over the country, helping those most in need, but it is now clear that we need to do much more to remove the need for food banks in the first place, starting with a commitment(承诺) from the Government to deal with the hidden problem.”37. About what percentage of Britishers surveyed live on meals given by others?A. 8%B. 10%C. 20%D. 25%38. How does Laura Sandys look at food insecurity?A. It may harm the health of the young.B. It may lead to price changes in food.C. It may force some to start stealing food.D. It may change the youth’s opinions on society.39. What can we learn from the underlined part in Paragraph 4?A. More people are in need of help.B. Food banks have more tasks to finish.C. It is hard for food banks to get enough food.D. More people are needed to help give out food.40. What’s Rachel Treweek’s suggestion for dealing with hidden hunger?A. Trying to start more food banks.B. The Government should take some steps.C. Encouraging more people to show kindness.D. The Government should keep their earlier promises.第二节阅读填空(共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分)Taking your dog for a walk can be fun to do. 41 According to the World Health Organization (WHO), over 10 million people in China are bitten by dogs every year.People in Beijing and Shanghai are already asked to keep their dogs on a leash (绳子). A similar law will soon be carried out across the country. It is listed in the newly amended (修订的) Animal Quarantine Law 42The law focuses on the prevention of rabies (狂犬病). 43 The law makes it clear that anyone who keeps dogs must regularly vaccinate (给…接种疫苗) them. Those who walk their dogs outdoors must keep their dogs on a leash to prevent them from hurting people or spreading diseases. Those who don’t follow the law will face a fine.44 This meant that if someone was bitten by a dog, they would have to go to a hospital and get treated and vaccinated immediately.Gao Fu, head of China’s Center for Disease Control and Prevention, said it makes more sense to vaccinate dog than humans.Many other diseases can also spread between animals and humans. 45 And 75 percent of all new infectious human diseases come from animals.A. The rabies virus is mainly carried by dogs.B. In the past, it was up to dog owners whether to get their dogs vaccinated or not.C. But it can also be a danger to others.D. According to experts, 70 percent of animal diseases can be passed on to humans.E. The law will come into effect on May 1.四、写作(共三节，满分35分)第一节语篇填词(共5小题；每小题1.5分，满分7.5分)阅读短文，根据上下文和所给的首字母写出所缺单词。
