A press comment B Aunt KELLY always had a special place in my heart. When I was growing up. I knew I could rely on her to have room for me on her lap and words of love and encouragement when I needed to hear them. When she died five years ago, I was devastated. The whole family was still in shock when her husband, Uncle Ronnie, died a week later. I longed to have a small item of Aunt KELLY’s to remember her by, but seeing her children and grandchildren overcome by the grief（悲痛）of this double loss made me shy away from asking.‎ A few months after Aunt KELLY’s death, I was on my way to work when I saw Rescued Treasures, a local second-hand store. I only had a couple of dollars on me and didn’t really intend to buy anything, but I stopped anyway just to look inside. I had been shopping around for a few minutes when a small, black handbag caught my eye. It wasn’t fancy or special. I didn’t really need a handbag and continued to look around the store, but something kept drawing me back to that handbag. Finally, I checked the price tag（标签）. It was just one dollar.‎ The handbag stayed in the back of my car for weeks until I came upon it during a car clean-up. I opened it up. I couldn’t believe it. They hadn’t even cleaned it out. It was still full of junk, old candy wrappers, old receipts（收据）and used paper. Usually the store emptied things inside, so there wouldn’t be any surprises for a new owner.‎ I threw away some wastes, and sorted through the receipts, when I found one item in the small inside pocket. It was an insurance card with the name “KELLY” written on it. I began to cry. My beloved Aunt KELLY. This was her handbag.‎ ‎24. What do we know from the passage?‎ A. Karen’s husband survived her by five years.‎ B. Karen’s children refused to give any item to the author.‎ C. The author was very shy when she was young.‎ D.

As soon as the author opened the handbag, she felt very ______.‎ A. sick B. excited C. surprised D. nervous C Have you ever wondered why birds sing? Maybe you thought that they were just happy. After all, you probably sing or whistle when you are happy.‎ Some scientists believe that birds do sing some of the time just because they are happy. However, they sing most of the time for a very different reason. Their singing is actually a warning to other birds to stay out of their territory.‎ Do you know what a “territory” is? A territory is an area that an animal, usually the male, claims（声称）as its own. Only he and his family are welcome there. No other families of the same species are welcome. Your yard and house are your territory where only your family and friends are welcome. If a stranger should enter your territory and threaten you, you might shout. Probably this would be enough to frighten him away.‎ If so, you have actually scared the stranger away without having to fight him. A bird does the same thing. But he expects an outsider almost any time, especially at nesting（筑巢）season. So ‎ he is screaming all the time, whether he can see an outsider or not. This screaming is what we call a bird’s song, and it is usually enough to keep an outsider away.‎ Birds sing loudest in the spring when they are trying to attract a mate and warn others not to enter the territory of theirs.‎ You can see that birds have a language of their own. Most of it has to do with attracting mates and setting up territories.‎ ‎28. Some scientists believe that most of the time birds’ singing is actually ______.‎ A. an expression of happiness B. an expression of anger C. a way of greeting D. a way of warning ‎29. How does the writer explain birds’ singing?‎ A. By comparing birds with human beings.‎ B. By telling a bird’s story.‎ C. By reporting experiment results.‎ D. By describing birds’ daily life.‎ ‎30. What is a bird’s “territory”?‎ A. An area for which birds fight against each other.‎ B. A place where a bird may shout at the top of its voice.‎ C. An area which a bird considers to be its own.‎ D. A place where families of other species are not accepted.‎ ‎31. Why do birds keep on singing at nesting season?‎ A. Because they want to find outsiders around.‎ B. Because their singing helps frighten outsiders away.‎ C. Because they want to invite more friends.‎ D. Because their singing helps get rid of their fears.‎ D You get anxious if there’s no wi-fi in the hotel or mobile phone signal up the mountain. You feel upset if your phone is getting low on power, and you secretly worry things will go wrong at work if you’re not there. All these can be called “always on” stress caused by smartphone addiction.‎ For some people, smartphones have freed them from the nine-to-five work. Flexible working has given them more autonomy（自主权）in their working lives and enabled them to spend more ‎ time with their friends and families. For many others though, smartphones have become tyrants（暴君）in their pockets, never allowing them to turn them off, relax and recharge their batteries.‎ Pittsburgh-based developer Kevin Holesh was worried about how much he was ignoring his family and friends in favor of his iPhone. So he developed an app-Moment-to monitor his usage. The app enables users to see how much time they’re spending on the device and set up warnings if the usage limits are breached（突破）.” Moment’s goal is to promote balance in your life,” his website explains. “Some time on your phone, some time off it enjoying your loving family and friends around you.”‎ Dr Christine Grant, an occupational psychologist at Coventry University, said, “The effects of this ‘always on’ culture are that your mind is never resting, and you’re not giving your body time to recover, so you’re always stressed. And the more tired and stressed we get, the more mistakes we make. Physical and mental health can suffer.”‎ And as the number of connected smartphones is increasing, so is the amount of data. This is leading to a sort of decision paralysis（瘫痪）and is creating more stress in the workplace because people have o receive a broader range of data and communications which are often difficult to manage. “It actually makes it more difficult to make decisions and many do less because they’re controlled by it all and feel they can never escape the office,” said Dr Christine Grant.‎ ‎32. What’s the first paragraph mainly about?‎ A. The popularity of smartphones. B. The progress of modern technology C. The signs of “always on” stress. D. The cause of smartphone addiction ‎33. Kevin Holesh developed Moment to ______.‎ A. research how people use their mobile phones B. make people better use mobile phones C. increase the fun of using mobile phones D. help people control their use of mobile phones ‎34. What’s Dr Christine Grant’s attitude towards “always on” culture?‎ A. Confused. B. Positive. C. Critical. D. Doubtful.‎ ‎35. According to the last paragraph, a greater amount of data means ______.‎ A. we will become less productive B. we can make a decision more quickly C. we will be equipped with more knowledge D. we can work more effectively 第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）‎ 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。‎ Being a volunteer What can you do to help people?
