Part I Reading Comprehension (30%)
Directions: There are three passages in this part. Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. You should decide on the best choice and blacken the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet。
Passage 1
Questions I to 5 are based on the following passage: Spending 50 minutes with a cell phone close to your ear is enough to change brain cell activity in the part of the brain closest to the antenna(天线). But whether that causes any harm is not clear, scientists at the National Institute of Health said at a conference last month, adding that the study will not likely settle concerns of a link between cell phones and brain cancer. “What we showed is glucose (葡萄糖)
metabolism(代谢)(a sign of brain activity) increases in the brain in people who were exposed to a cell phone in the area closest to the antenna,” said Dr. Nora Volkow of the NIH, whose study was published in the Journal of the American Medical Association. (76) The study was meant to examine how the brain reacts to electromagnetic fields caused by wireless phone signals。
Volkow said she was surprised that the weak
electromagnetic radiation(电磁辐射) from cell phones could affect brain activity, but she said the findings do not shed any light on whether cell phones cause cancer. “This study does not in any way indicate that. What the study does is to show the human brain is sensitive to electromagnetic radiation from cell phone exposures。” Use of the devices has increased dramatically since they were introduced in the early 1980s, with about 5 billion cell phones now in use worldwide。
Some studies have linked cell phone exposure to an increased risk of brain cancers, but a large study bu the World Health Organization did not offer a clear answer to this. Volkow’s team studied 47 people who had their brain examined while a cell phone was turned on for 50 minutes and another while the phone was turned off. While there was no complete change in brain metabolism, they found a 7 percent increase in brain metabolism in the region closest to the cell phone antenna when the phone was on。
(77)Experts said the results were interesting, but urged that they be understood with great care. “ Although the biological significance, if any, of increased glucose
metabolism from too much cell phone exposure is unknown, the results require further investigation,” Henry Lai of the University of Washington in the U.S. and Dr. Lennart Hardell of University Hospital in Sweden, wrote in an article in JAMA. “Much has to be done to further investigate and understand these effects。” They wrote。

Questions 6 to 10 are based on the following passage: Human beings have always had an ability to attend to several things at once. (78) Nor is electronic multitasking entirely new: We’ve been driving while listening to car radios since they became popular in the 1930s. but there is no doubt that multitasking has reached a kind of warp speed in the era of Web-enabled computers, when it has become routine to conduct
several IM(及时通讯)conversations, watch TV and use the computer all at once。
But what’s the impact of this media consumption? And how are these multitasking devices changing how kids learn, reason and communicate with one another ?Social scientists and educators are just beginning to deal with these questions, but the researchers already have some strong opinions。 (79)Although multitasking kids may be better prepared in some ways for today’s fast-paced work placed, Many scientists are positively alarmed by the trend。 Kids that are instant messaging while doing homework, playing games online and watching TV, aren’t going to do well in the long run。 On the positive side, multitasking students tend to be extraordinarily good at finding and using information. And probably because modern childhood centers around visual(视觉的)rather than print media, they are especially skilled at analyzing visual data and images。
Many educators and psychologists say parents need to actively ensure that their teenagers break free of
uncontrollable engagement with screens and spend time in the physical company of human beings—a growing challenge not just because technology offers such a handy option but because so many teenagers and college students say overcommitted(任务过量的)schedules drives much of their multitasking。 Just as important is for parents and educator to teach kids that it’s valuable, even essential, to occasionally slow down, unplugs and take time to enjoy life beyond the screen。

Passage 3
Questions 11 to 15 are based on the following passage: The nuclear power emergency at a Japanese atomic power plant last March could lead to a major re-examination in European countries that are already building such plants or are considering a shift from fossil(化石) fuels to nuclear energy to fight climate change. With the terrible accident 25 years ago in Chernobyl(切尔诺贝利) beginning to fade in European Memories, governments across Europe have grown more open to using more nuclear power. Enthusiasm for nuclear power is particularly strong in Eastern Europe, which wants to move away from dependence on Russian oil and natural gas, and on heavily polluting coal-fired power plants. Eastern
governments have begun improving existing nuclear plants or are building or planning new ones. But as Japan struggled to deal with her nuclear crises, discussion about the good and the bad of nuclear power became heated。
(80)In Germany, nuclear power has been a repeatedly argued and widely felt issue for decades。 Up to 70 percent of Germans oppose nuclear power. Recently about 40,000 people turned out to form a human chain near a nuclear plant to protest government policies on nuclear power. “The accident in Japan could lead to a major rethink in Europe,” said Henrik Paulitz of the International Doctors for the Prevention of Nuclear War. “Governments have not been quite open about the safety levels of the nuclear power plants。”
Chancellor(总理) Angela Merkel heads a center-right unity government that supports the use of nuclear power. Her government recently made a disputed decision to extend the life of the country’s 17 nuclear power plants by an average of 12 years. She will now face more pressure the change that policy. She called an emergency meeting with her senior ministers. “We know how safe our plants are and that we do not face a threat from such a serious earthquake or violent tidal wave,” Mrs. Merkel said after the meeting. “We will learn what we can from the events in Japan。”

总之,微博客具有的优点和缺点。它的影响,有一点是肯定的。微博客本身既不好也不坏。如何对它的使用,决定了其对社会的价值。
连续很多天都是天亮之后才睡觉。别人问我,你晚上不睡觉都在干嘛。我马上回答,写稿啊,书稿还没交呢。但其实,我一个字也没写。而之所以熬夜,也不过是因为心里有牵挂的人和未完成的事吧。
别人问你怎么还不睡,你说不困。其实熬夜很困,打个哈欠都会有眼泪流出来,只是心中一直有所期待,有所牵挂。就好像下一秒就会收到喜欢的人的消息,下一秒就能遇见一个惊喜。又或者,熬了太久却迟迟得不到自己想要的结果,渐渐的习惯了孤独。 为什么会熬夜呢,大概是因为白天的自己太理智,太冷漠,好像什么都不在乎。所以有些情绪和思念,心酸和不舍,是要留到深夜独自慢慢消化的。白天的自己和晚上的自己完全不是同一个人啊,白天口口声声说一定早睡,晚上却从来做不到。像失忆一样拿命熬夜,白天开开心心无忧无虑,晚上却忧郁的不行。白天觉得我最牛逼,晚上却变成世界第一大傻逼。 总觉得幸福的人是不用熬夜的,每天都有规律的生活,爱的人就躺在身边,现在过的是想要的生活,手里牵的是喜欢的人。 昨天有人问我,为什么你晚上不睡觉。 我想了很久,已经两三年没有在两点之前入睡过了。但我也说不清为什么,那个人突然给我发了一段话,我突然觉得,这是我熬夜的原因,也是很多人熬夜的原因。 你总是习惯熬夜,然后我也故意很晚都不睡。装作是和你一样睡不着,这样就可以和你聊很久,可是你都不知道其实我要困死了。后来你走了,熬夜的习惯却怎么都改不掉。 说片面点是熬夜,说实在点是失眠,说实话是想你。 你有没有过,为了陪一个人聊天,其实下一秒已经要睡着,但还是死抓着手机不肯睡。 你有没有过,因为一个人的一句话,明明很困却突然变得很清醒,开心和喜悦赶走了所有困意。 你有没有过,为了等一个人的晚安,不停的刷着朋友圈发着动态,其实只想让他看到你还没睡。 你有没有过,因为太思念一个人,每天都害怕深夜来临,害怕孤独,害怕寂寞,害怕牵挂的感觉。 我知道,你都有过。 可是,你每天这样熬夜,有人心疼你吗? 前天晚上一个作家姐姐突然发消息说,妹妹,钱是挣不完的,别累着自己,身体最重要。昨晚她发现我又在熬夜,给我发消息说,一定照顾好自己,莫名心疼你。 我很感动,又觉得很可笑。一个没见过面的人看你熬夜都会心疼,会劝你照顾好自己,但你每天熬夜想着的那个人,没给你发过一条消息。第一次见面的陌生人都会劝你少喝酒少抽烟,素不相识的微信好友都会让你早点休息,可你抽烟喝酒熬夜在等的那个人,从来都没在意过你,连一句晚安都没有。 我经常给别人讲道理,永远不要为了一个不爱你的人折磨自己。但这句话其实就像放屁,因为一旦爱上一个人,就没办法控制自己。我们在爱情里,从来都不是理性的。后来有人问我,怎么忘记一个人。 我说,把酒喝够,把烟抽完,把黑夜熬成天亮,等你真的感觉疼了,你就忘记了。不撞南墙不死心,大概就是这个道理。别人苦口婆心的劝说,其实你一点儿都听不进去。你害怕失去、害怕背叛、害怕从未拥有,你害怕的太多、心事太多,所以很难入睡。那你就熬吧,等熬过了这一阵,你又会觉得其实生活还是很美好。 你要记住,所有关于感情的问题,都不要在深夜做决定。无论分手还是牵手,无论坚持还是放弃。因为女人啊,从来都不是理性动物,再加上深夜里的一杯红酒,一根香烟,感性越发强烈。 五年前第一次听梁静茹的《问》,歌里唱,如果女人,总是等到夜深,无悔付出青春,他就会对你真。
那时候真的傻到相信,用心爱一个人,就能把他留在自己身边。现在才明白,在一起一辈子这种事,不是嘴上说了就可以。外面的诱惑这么多,人的欲望这么大,而你能给的爱,其实就这么多。 后来我经常说,如果爱一个人又不可得,那就找个爱自己的吧。别太累,别付出太多,别太委屈,你说你爱他所以无所畏惧,但你的感情和耐心其实就这么多,你无法永远输出。 总有一天它们会因迟迟得不到回应而枯竭。等到那一天你会发现,哪怕再遇到喜欢的人,也没有力气去喜欢了。
