【题目】根据短文理解,选择正确答案。
Have you ever run into a careless cell phone user on the street? Perhaps 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 selfie 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 eventually leads to the destruction of the world.
Although the ending sounds overstated the damage phubbing can bring is real.
Your health is the first to bear the effect and result of it. “Constantly bending your head to check your cell phone could damage your neck,” Guangming Daily quoted doctors as saying. “the neck is like a rope that breaks after long-term stretching.” Also, staring at cell phones for long periods of 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. At reunions with family or friends, many people tend to stick to 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 you 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)For what purpose does the author give the example of a cartoon in Paragragh2?
A.To inform people of the bad effects of phubbing.

(2)Which of the following is NOT a risk a phubber may have?
A.His social skills could be affected.
B.His neck and eyesight will be gradually harmed.
C.He will cause the destruction of the world.

(3)Which of the following may be the author's attitude towards phubbing?

D.Objective.
(4)What may the passage talk about next?

【题目】根据短文理解,选择正确答案。
Next autumn when you see wild geese heading south for the winter flying in a V formation, you might think about what scientists have discovered as to why they fly that way.
As each bird flaps its wings, it creates uplift(提升) for the bird immediately following. By flying in a V formation the whole group adds at least 71% greater flying range than if each bird flies on its own.
People who share a common direction and sense of community can get where they are going more quickly and easily because they are traveling on the push of one another.
When a wild goose falls out of the formation,it suddenly feels the drag and resistance of trying to go alone and quickly tries to get back into the formation to take advantage of the lifting power of the bird in front. When the head goose gets tired,it flies back into the formation and another goose flies to the front. It is wise to take turns doing difficult jobs whether it is people or wild geese flying south.
Wild geese honk (发出雁叫声) from behind to inspire those up front to keep up their speed. What can we learn from this?
When a wild goose gets sick or wounded by gunshots,and falls out of the formation,two other geese will fall out with that goose and follow it down to lend help and protection. They will stay with the fallen goose until it is able to fly or until it dies,and only then will they go on with their own or with another formation to catch up with their group.
(1)Wild geese fly in a V formation in order to________.
A.protect themselves from danger
B.fly more quickly and easily
C.help the sick and wounded
D.fly much higher in the sky
(2)What can we learn from the fifth paragraph?
A.We should try to lead others to move forward.
B.We should give people facing difficulties encouragement.
C.We should believe in those who offer us help.
D.We should care more about the old and sick.
(3)When a wild goose becomes sick or is wounded,________.
A.it will be left alone and will fall on the ground
B.the whole group will stop flying
C.two other geese will stay with it to offer help
D.other geese will honk to give it encouragement
(4)What do we know from the passage?
A.A wild goose can help the one following it by flapping its wings.
B.A person who works alone can work better than one who doesn't.
C.It is not good for wild geese to take turns being the head goose.
D.The wild geese that fall behind are unlikely to catch up with their group.

【题目】Whether you love happy endings or a dark reality in TV dramas,you could soon be able to decide what you get. Netflix,the TV-streaming company behind hit shows such as The Crown and House Of Cards,is working on ways to give viewers control of key plot decisions.

Some of the storylines will be simple and linear,like the Choose Your Own Adventure books that many grew up with.For example,viewers might decide whether a prisoner in the drama Orange Is The New Black joins a gang (黑帮) or not.

The technology could also potentially be used to allow Princess Margaret to marry Peter Townsend in The Crown,instead of having her relationship with the divorcee (离婚者) blocked by the Establishment.Other storylines will be much more complex,allowing viewers to connect plot points in a variety of ways using their TV remotes.

A source said,"We're doing work on branch narratives (叙事) so you are actually making choices as you watch. All the content will be there,and then people will have to get through it in different ways.We'll see how it plays out. It's an experiment.We'll see if it gets much success.For creators,it's a new field."

Actors would film numerous alternate plot segments (片段) in advance,letting viewers choose which route to take through the story.Netflix will run a trial with choose-your-own-adventure shows for children later this year, based on an established character.If they are successful,it will use the format for TV programmes aimed at adults. Netflix president Reed Hastings confirmed that the company is working on interactive shows,saying,"Once you have got interactivity,you can try anything."

At least five million UK households are thought to be signed up to Netflix,and it is challenging traditional broadcasters.Earlier this year,BBC boss Lord Hall promised to reinvent the iPlayer so that it overtakes Netflix as a destination in its own right,rather than a catch-up service.

1How will viewers connect plot points?

A. By using their TV remotes.

B. By taking part in TV programs.

C. By interacting with actors or actresses.

D. By participating in filming plot segments.

2Why will Netflix run choose-your-own-adventure shows for children?

A. To attempt to create another hit show.

B. To compete with traditional broadcasters.

C. To attract as many children viewers as possible.

D. To test whether their creative ideas are successful.

3What's Reed Hastings' attitude to interactive shows?

A. Confident. B. Doubtful.

C. Negative. D. Worried.

4What's the author's purpose of writing this text?

A. To advertise for Netflix company.

B. To recommend some English hit shows.

C. To predict future development in filming.

D. To introduce the latest technology in TV dramas.

【题目】What makes a person a giver or a taker? The idea of “give versus take” takes shape in all relationships of our lives. We're either giving advice, making time for people, or we're on the receiving end. We alternate between the two based on different situations we face on a daily basis, it not an hourly one.

According to Adam Grant, a professor at Pennsylvania University, most people are matchers. They make careful observations on takers and make it a point for them to pay something back. They hate to see people who act so generously towards others without receiving any reward. Actually, most matchers will try to promote and support givers so that they can get the good they deserve.

Another professor named Hannah Rile Bowles, from Harvard University, led a study on the idea. She asked 200 senior managers to sit down in pairs where one person would act as the boss and the other as an employee to negotiate salary promotions. Male employees asked for an average salary of $146 k while the females asked for only $141 k. But why did they not bargain as hard as the men? Simply because they were more likely to be givers.

As a woman, I do enjoy the act of giving up my time, my knowledge and my care and attention to others. I don't expect anything in return, but I do tend to pull myself away when I feel like I'm being taken for granted. I also tend to get upset when I see a loved one's continuous actions of kindness go unnoticed. So it's safe to say I'm 50% giver,35% matcher and 15% taker.

I do know someone, however, who is 99% giver. They’re devoting their time, sharing valuable insights and going out of their way for everyone who crosses their path. Although they've changed the lives of many people, they rarely see any of it returned. But the universe is slowly repaying them; they’re now extremely successful, well known for what they do.

1In Adam Grant’s opinion, most people .

A. prefer giving to taking

B. prefer taking to giving

C. tend to depend on others

D. tend to balance between giving and taking

2What does the underlined part in Paragraph 4 most probably mean?

A. Cheer myself up. B. Give up on myself.

C. Stay away deliberately. D. Force myself to move forward.

3What can be inferred from the last paragraph?

A. No good deed goes undone.

B. People who give are worth respecting.

C. Giving is the shortest path to success.

D. Sharing is the greatest human quality.
