27、Do you find it difficult to put down your mobile phone?

If yes, you’re not alone. These days, many people suffer from the stress of FOMO (fear of missing out). They reach for their mobile phones when they wake up in the morning, and for the rest of the day, they constantly scroll down (向下滚动) the timelines of their social media apps to get the latest updates.

Despite the convenience smartphones bring, many people struggle with their digital habits.

As Sameer Samat, US tech Company Google’s vice president of product management, said in his speech at the 2018 Google I/O developer conference on May 8, 70 percent of people don’t want to spend so much time on their phones.

This is why during the conference Google introduced an app called Dashboard for the new version (版本) of its Android operating system. This new app includes well-being functions that aim to help users manage the time they spend on their digital devices.

It all starts with a bird’s-eye view. Dashboard allows users to look at all the details of their phone habits. For example, a user can see how many times they’ve unlocked their phone and how many times they’ve checked their social media apps, as well as how much time they spend on each app every day.

Once the users see this information, they’ll be able to make some changes. With the App Timer function, users can set a time limit for how long they can use each app for every day. After they’ve hit the limit, they won’t be able to launch the app until the next day.

But even if users become more mindful of their usage, they’re still likely to be drawn in by notifications (通知). This is where the Shush feature comes in. It automatically (自动地) silences incoming calls and notifications when a user puts their phone face down.

If people truly want to make full use of their free time instead of losing hours using their smart phones, these new functions are just one way of doing that.

After all, who needs to use an app to stop you from using other apps when the easiest answer would be just to use your willpower?

【1】Who are the target users of Dashboard?

A．People who know little about smartphones.

B．People who have trouble dealing with stress.

C．People who are slow at searching for things online.

D．People who wish to manage the time they spend on their smartphone.

【2】What can Dashboard do?

A．Lock the phone at a certain time.

B．Limit some apps to certain users.

C．Limit the time certain apps can be used.

D．Silence app notifications at night.

【3】The underlined word “mindful” in Paragraph 8 is closest in meaning to ______.

A．serious.

B．careful.

C．prepared.

D．creative.

【4】What does the author think of Dashboard?

A．It’s not very useful.

B．It’s perfectly designed.

C．It should include more functions.

D．It may be helpful to some people.

28、   Growing up in England with a British father and a Chinese mother, I've enjoyed food from both countries ever since I was able to hold a knife and fork --- and chopsticks!

Mum has sweet memories of the food from her hometown in Sichuan, and often cooks spicy dishes. On account of this, Dad has come to love hot pot! But there are still some dishes that Dad dare not try ever after many years of marriage to my mother. He once told me he was surprised by what he saw on the table when he first visited my mother's parents in China. He was even shocked at their wedding when he saw how the Chinese ate almost every part of an animal. Even today, he still does not easily take to eating things like chicken feet.

But I enjoy sort of food myself. Last week, I went to the butcher's and asked, "Do you have pigs' ears?" "No," the butcher（屠夫） said, pulling at his own ears, "just these ordinary ones." He must have thought I was joking.

Dad can cook a super "full English breakfast" of bacon, eggs, beans, sausages and toast with butter --- Mum and I just have to find a way to get him into the kitchen! He also does a typical Sunday roast. We all love roast beef and vegetables, but Mum says we'd better not eat too much roast food as it may make us suffer from heat inside our bodies, according to traditional Chinese medicine.

I'll never forget my visit to China. Mum encouraged me to try different kinds of food, and I did! I loved everything. But just when I thought I could deal with all Chinese food, I came across stinky tofu, a terrible grey thing that looked and smelt like a burnt sports shoe. "You needn't try it if you don't want to," Mum said, but I gathered all my courage to take a bite and was amazed to find it wasn't that bad. It reminded me of blue cheese, a similarly strong smelling type of food you either love or hate. Maybe I'll fall in love with stinky tofu --- someday.

People say that one man's meat is another man's poison, but I feel at home with food from both my cultures. To me, there's nothing better than a cross-cultural afternoon tea of English biscuits and a cup of Chinese oolong tea in a fine china cup!

【1】What do you know about the author's taste for food?

A．He prefers British food to Chinese food.

B．He has tried but cannot stand Chinese food.

C．He will never get used to some Chinese food.

D．He enjoys British food as well as Chinese food.

【2】What can we infer from the third paragraph?

A．The author just played a trick on the butcher.

B．Almost no people in England eat pigs' ears .

C．Pigs' ears are considered unhealthy in Britain.

D．The butcher didn't know what pigs' ears were.

【3】What does the underlined sentence suggest?

A．People have different tastes for food.

B．Some food can be harmful to health.

C．A good diet can build up one's health.

D．People ought to digest different food.

【4】How does the author sound in the passage?

A．Puzzled.

B．Upset.

C．Concerned.

D．Pleased.

【5】What have you got to know from the passage?

A．Different food cultures between China and England.

B．The importance of having different food combined.

C．The promising future of Chinese food in the west.

D．The lesson that people should follow the customs.

29、   Being in the midst of a pandemic lockdown can make people feel worried. But nothing has exemplified this panicky behavior more than stockpile (囤积), specifically toilet paper.

Seemingly transcending (超越) borders and cultures, people from all over the world, including the US,UK and Japan, have been clearing supermarket shelves primarily for this necessity. But what’s the reason for this sudden toilet paper fixation? You can understand panic buying food, but do we really need this much toilet paper?

Steven Taylor, author of the book The Psychology of Pandemics, told the Independent that our toilet paper hoarding is a product of our disgust. During a pandemic, people’s sensitivity to disgust increases, like when you flinch (躲避) if someone nearby sneezes.

“Disgust is like an alarm mechanism (机制) and what better tool for eliminating (消除) disgusting material than toilet paper. I think this is how it became a conditioned symbol of safety,” he said.

Writing for The Conversation, Niki Edwards of The Queensland University of Technology said, “When people hear about the novel coronavirus, they are afraid of losing control. And toilet paper feels like a way to maintain control over hygiene (卫生) and cleanliness.”

Another one of the most obvious reasons behind this toilet paper trend, according to the BBC, is the snowball effect. Due to its noticeable coverage, both in the news and social media, people naturally ask, “Will there be enough toilet paper for my family and me?” This invariably leads to more people following the crowd and buying toilet paper because of their fear of missing out.

“Fear is very easy to spread among people. So when those sorts of things go viral (走红), when you see people around you buying things in a panicky way, it’s going to make you feel more anxious,” wrote American psychologist Baruch Fischhoff for CNBC.

While there are, of course, selfish people who stockpile just because they can, it’s worth keeping things in perspective. Remember, just as countries are cooperating to find a Vaccine, we must cooperate to ensure that everyone has their share of necessities.

【1】What is the main idea of this text?

A.To discuss people’s different attitudes towards the toilet paper hoarding.

B.To explore the negative effects of the toilet paper hoarding.

C.To criticize those people who hoard toilet paper.

D.To explain why people tend to stockpile toilet paper.

【2】What kind of feeling does the underlined word “disgust” want to show?

A.dislike B.comfort

C.calm D.anxiety

【3】According to Baruch Fischhoff, what does this toilet paper trend result from?

A.The desire to get rid of disgusting material.

B.The fear of losing control over cleanliness.

C.The frequent reporting on toilet paper.

D.The infectious fear making you feel more anxious.

【4】What is the author’s attitude towards the toilet paper hoarding?

A.favorable. B.doubtful.

C.disapproval. D.neutral.
