AHello, my name is David and I'm a mobile-phone addict (手机迷). I am here today to face the truth about my condition and hope that by speaking out I can help others to overcome their own problems.The careless observer probably couldn’t find anything wrong with me. I have a respectable appearance and my behavior in public isn’t shocking or attracti ng.I hadn’t even realized myself that I was a mobile addict until the past few days. But I have just spent two of those days doing an experiment that has showed the terrible reality. I have suffered mentally and physically. And my experience has made me believe that I am only one of millions of fellow addicts.When I turned the phone on after two days I found I had three messages and four texts. OK, so I was a bit put out that there were not more. I had missed the chance to do a phone interview that I had been trying to get for two weeks and an invitation to a last-minute lunch. Angry but to be honest, no more than that.However, I was relieved to have the phone back on. My fingers soon stopped twitching (颤抖) caused by not using the phone. I sent some unimportant texts and made a couple of meaningless calls and that cheered me up.I still believe that the phone is an important tool for work, but realize that otherwise it is often just a meaningless safety blanket “ Hi, darling. I'm on my way home. Just leaving the office now. Love you. Bye.〞So do I have the courage to stop using it as such? Of course I do. But I just choose not to.28. The writer’s purpose in writing the text is to________.A. make people know that he is a mobile-phone addict.B. tell us the mobile phone is a kind of useful toolC. inform us of the shortcomings of the mobile phones.D. help other mobile addicts overcome their problems29. During the two days when the mobile phone was turned off, the writer was_______.A. relievedB. cheerfulC. uncomfortableD. sad30. By saying “ I was a bit put out〞the writer probably means “I was________〞.A. gladB. angryC. confusedD. troublesome31. From the last paragraph, we can see that the writer will _______.A. throw away the mobile phoneB. stop using the mobile phoneC. still use the mobile phoneD. give the mobile phone to a needy personBMany people in high school can not wait to go to college and leave their hometowns behind. Questions arise, though, when it comes to all of the decisions involved in choosing a college.One of the first considerations may be finance. State and public colleges are often the least expensive. Often, though, the better colleges are private and more expensive. It is sad when gifted students cannot attend a college of their choice just for financial reasons.Another major factor is location. Whether the college is in a small town or large city can have a major impact on its activities. A water lover probably will be more comfortable spending four years near an ocean or a lake. Those who cannot tolerate heat will probably be more comfortable at a northern college. Distance from home may also come into consideration. If family is a top priority, that person should stay close to home; on the other hand, if independence is desired, a campus farther from home would be more appropriate.School size also plays a major role in the decision process. If you want to get to know your teachers, a small college is suitable. For those of you who consider yourself a “people person〞 and want a wide range of activities, a large college is more fitting. Your area of interest is another factor to consider in the decision-making process if you want to get the most from your education. The whole point of college is to learn what is of interest to you.Crucially(至关重要地), one must take into consideration the colleges by which you can realistically be accepted. An Ivy League school for an average student would probably not be a good match. Similarly, an average school for an above-average student would not work well. The college should provide enough of a challenge for the student to work hard. Although there may not be the perfect college out there, there probably will be one that is close. Those who cannot find a suitable college are probably not looking hard enough.32. When it comes to going to college the author thinks .A. students will become homesickB. students are unwilling to leave their homeC. financial situation is the first to considerD. students are eager to attend their ideal university33. What is the main idea of the third paragraph?A. The location of the college is a main factor.B. A long distance will make students upset.C. Students can be independent at college.D. The climate must be taken into consideration.34. What does the underlined part “people person〞 in the passage mean?A. A person of great capacityB. A very sociable personC. A very particular personD. A person of great importance35. Which is the most important factor when choosing a college?A. The location of a collegeB. School sizeC. The examination resultsD. the coming challenges.第二节〔一共5小题，每一小题3分，满分是15分〕根据短文内容，从短文后的选项里面选出能填入空白处的最正确选项，并在答题卷上将该项涂黑，选项里面有两项为多余选项。

Her family had been separated as the shelter was just for children and her eldest sonwas unable to join them. Tolbert told the staff that he wanted to bring the family back together, and offered them his home.The family has now moved into the three-bedroom, two-bathroom home—with Felicia Dukes’ oldest son. It is worth nearly $400,000, according to online estimates (评估). “I am so excited,” Felicia Dukes said, as she wiped away her tears.The heartwarming story es after a report that 10-year-old Gracie McNulty, from England, served Christmas dinners to 50 homeless people, achieving her father’s last Christmas wish.Her father Craig, 38, was a charity volunteer who had served breakfast to the homeless on Boxing Day. But as a roofer, he suffered serious head injuries when he fell down from the roof. He was taken to a hospital by air ambulance but died soon after the accident in August.“It’s been the best Christmas,” Gracie said. “I was just at school feeling sad and then I wanted to do something to make him proud and this may be the perfect thing.”41.

You should also pay attention to other people’s body language.When a person is bored, his whole body is telling you. If you are trying to persuade him to buy your products, don’t bother unless you are trying to make them give in.A bored person looks anywhere but at the person who is talking to him. He findsother things to do, from talking with others to looking around the room. He may also keep looking at his watch or a wall clock. Bored people often do things such as tap their toes, swing their feet or drum their fingers again and again.

They may yawn （打哈欠）, sink into their seats, lean against a wall or just bend downwards where they are standing. Their faces may also show a lack of interest and appear blank. There are many reasons for boredom. If a person is not interested in his surroundings or what is going on, he may bee bored.

London is the only city in the world where taking a taxi is an interesting experience for tourists. This is partly because of the special black cabs（出租车）, which are found in no other country. But it is also because of the drivers themselves. While British people are famous for being polite and reserved, London taxi drivers are well known of their willingness to talk.Some customers say that once the door shuts and the cab moves off they are captive audience. It is impossible to get the taxi drivers to stop talking.“They’re self-confident and free thinking,” says Malcolm Linskey, the author of a history of taxi drivers in London. “They answer to nobody but themselves and that comes across in their conversation.”They are also expensive. London has the most expensive taxis of any city in the world except Tokyo. That’s why Ken Living-stone, the mayor of London, is planning to make taxi drivers discuss their fares with customers before they take a ride.Drivers agree that their fares are expensive. That’s because their black taxis cost more than other cars, they say. And the customer is also paying for a more driving expertise than anywhere else in the world.Before someone can qualify as a London taxi driver, that person has to pass a test known as“The Knowledge”. This involves memorizing the name and location of every street within six miles of a point in the exact center of London. The trainee must also learn the exact location of every important building within these streets. Finally he or she must be able to use this knowledge to work out the shortest distance between any two destinations within this area.It can take up the three years to pass “The knowledge”. Every day it is possible to see trainee taxi drivers on the streets of London, taking careful notes of popular destinations before finding the route to their next stop. Cab driving is a job often handed down in families. Many taxi drivers take their children out in their spare time to memorize routes they will need to know when it is their turn to do “The Knowledge”.The effect of this is to make London taxi drivers experts at their job. They also have bigger brains. Recent research by scientists at the Institute of Neurology in London found that the hippocampus—the part of the brain that remembers things—was larger and more developed in cab drivers. They have to fit the whole of London into their heads, so their brains grow bigger. 1．Taking a taxi in London is an interesting experience for tourists because of the following statements except that _______.A．the special black cabs can’t be found in other countriesB．the drivers are polite and reservedC．the drivers are talkativeD．the drivers are self-confident and free thinking2．Taking a taxi in London is very expensive because _________.A．the drivers answer to nobody but themselvesB．the drivers can discuss their fares with customers before the rideC．the drivers are the most qualifiedD．the black cabs are the safest3．It can be inferred from the passage that _______.A．London has the most expensive taxis in the worldB．“The Knowledge”is a test that can be done easilyC．trainee taxi drivers are not often seen on the streetsD．many taxi drivers tend to make their children taxi drivers4．London cab drivers have bigger brains because _______A．they are experts at their jobB．they have many streets and routes in their mindsC．their hippocampus is larger and more developedD．their heads are biggerBAn unhealthy obsession (着迷)with celebrity(名人) culture is damaging the study success of British students, a survey of teachers found last Friday, with celebrity couple the Beckhams their favorite.

Soccer player "Beckhams" topped the poll (民意测验), with more than half the teachers saying their students modeled themselves onhim. In second place, with almost a third of the poll's vote, was his 33 year-old wife and pop star "Posh."A majority of teachers said it was television "stars" and a media fixation with celebrities, celebrity culture that negatively impacted the their pupils. Almost half of the 300 teachers polled said pupils tried to look like or behave like celebrities they most admired. What they feared is that girls particularly dressed in "unsuitable.”"We are not surprised about infiltration(渗透) of celebrity culture in schools" the teacher Mary Boust said in a statement. "Celebrities can have a positive effect on students. They can raise students' desires and ambitions for the future."However, celebrity culture can cause the wrong opinion that celebrity status(地位) is the greatest achievement and the belief that other career choices are not valuable."5.
