about their phones, words such as “hurt” (neck pain was often reported) and “alone” predicted higher levels of nomophobia.

“The findings of our study suggest that users regard smartphones as their extended selves and get attached to the devices,” said Dr. Kim Ki Joon. “People experience feelings of anxiety and unpleasantness when separated from their phones.” Meanwhile, an American study shows that smartphone separation can lead to an increase in heart rate and blood pressure.

So can being without your phone really give you separation anxiety? Professor Mark Griffiths, psychologist and director of the International Gaming Research Unit at Nottingham Trent University, says it is what is on the phone that counts — the social networking that creates Fomo (fear of missing out)．

“We are talking about an Internet-connected device that allows people to deal with lots of aspects of their lives ” says Griffiths. “You would have to surgically remove a phone from a teenager because their whole life is ingrained in this device.”

Griffiths thinks attachment theory, where we develop emotional dependency on the phone because it holds details of our lives, is a small part of nomophobia. For “screenagers”, it is Fomo that creates the most separation anxiety. If they can’t see what’s happening on Snapchat or Instagram, they become panic-stricken about not knowing what’s going on socially. “But they adapt very quickly if you take them on holiday and there’s no Internet,” says Griffiths. 28. Which of the following may Dr. Kim Ki Joon agree with? A. Phones have become part of some users. B. We waste too much time on phones. C. Addiction to phones makes memories suffer. D. Phones and blood pressure are closely linked.

29. According to Griffiths, we get nomophobia because ________. A. we are accustomed to having a phone on us

B. we worry we may miss out what our friends are doing C. we need our phones to help us store information D. we fear without phones we will run into a lot of trouble

30. Which of the following phrases has the closest meaning to the underlined phrase “ingrained in” in Para4?

A. approved of .B. opposed to. C. relied on. D. determined by. 31. Where can you probably find the above passage? A. In a research report. C. In a science textbook.

D

Mental illness and disability were family problems for English people living between 1660 and 1800. Most women and men who suffered from mental illness were not institutionalized as this was the period before the extensive building of mental hospitals. Instead, they were housed at home, and cared for by other family members.

Now a new study by Cambridge historian Dr. Elizabeth Foyster will reveal the impact on families of caring for mentally ill and disabled relatives.

Much has been written about the insane themselves but few studies have considered mental illness from the perspective of the carers. The lifetime burden of caring for those individuals whose mental development did not progress beyond childhood, and who contemporaries labeled as ‘idiots’ or ‘fools’, has been little explored by historians. Foyster’s research, which has been funded by the Leverhulme Trust, will carefully examine the emotional and economic consequences for families at a time when the Poor Law bound them to look after their mentally ill and disabled family members. By asking key questions about the impact of ‘care in the community’ in the 18th century，Foyster hopes that her research will bridge social and medical history. Specifically, she aims to provide an historical perspective for contemporary debates such as how resources can be stretched to provide for children with learning difficulties and an aging population.

“The stresses and strains of family were worsened by high infant mortality and low life expectancy, and many individuals were pushed towards mental breakdown,” she explained. “Moreover, inherited conditions, senility(高龄) and what today would be described as ‘special needs’ could put great emotional demands on family members who had primary responsibility for their sick or disabled relatives.”

The research will shed light upon how caring for the mentally ill and disabled raised difficult issues for families about the limits of intergenerational responsibility, and whether family ties were weakened or strengthened by the experience. The questions of how far shame was attached to

B. In a popular science magazine. D. In a fashion brochure.

having insanity or idiocy within a family, and at what point families began to seek outside help, will also be addressed.

“The family must have seemed an inescapable feature of daily life between 1660 and 1800,” said Foyster. “Although there were those who were abandoned and rejected, for the majority, mental disability was accommodated within the family unit. I aim to get to the heart of what this really meant for people’s lives.”

32. Which is NOT the reason why those mentally ill and disabled were not institutionalized from 1660 to 1800?

A. Mental illness and disability were family problems then. B. The extensive building of mental hospitals didn’t start yet. C. They were abandoned by the government and the family. D. The family would be found guilty if they didn’t care for them. 33. Why does Foyster want to carry out this study?

A. Because it can provide some food for thought for some current social issues. B. Because the stresses and strains of family life have driven many people crazy. C. Because she’s looking for ways to communicate with the sick or disabled people. D. Because the limits of intergenerational responsibility in such families, interest her. 34. Which question will NOT be studied in the research?

A. How should resources today be stretched to provide for an aging population? B. How did caring for the sick and disabled affect the family’s earning power?

C. How shameful did a family feel when their insane or disabled relatives were found out? D At what point did those families have to begin to look for outside help? 35. The passage is written in order to ________.

A. reveal the impact on families of caring for mentally ill and disabled relatives B. provide an historical perspective to contemporary debates C. shed light upon whether family ties were weakened or strengthened D. introduce a new historical study carried out by a Cambridge historian

Sign has become a scientific hot button. Only in the past 20 years have specialists in language study realized that signed languages are __41__ —a speech of the hand. They offer a new way to probe how the brain generates and __42__ languageand throw new light on an old scientific __43__: whether language, __44__ with grammar, is something that we are born with, or whether it is a __45__ behavior. The current interest in sign language has roots in the __46__ work of one rebel teacher at Gallaudet University in Washington, D. C., the world’s only liberal arts university for deaf people.

When Bill Stokoe went to Gallaudet to teach English, the school enrolled him in a course in signing. But Stokoe noticed something __47__; among themselves, students signed differently from his classroom teacher.

Stokoe had been taught a sort of gestural __48__, each movement of the hands representing a word in English. At the time, American Sign Language (ASL) was thought to be no more than a form of pidgin English (混杂英语). But Stokoe believed the “hand __49__” his students used looked richer. He wondered: Might deaf people actually have a genuine language? And could that language be __50__ any other on Earth? It was 1955, when even deaf people __51__ their signing as “substandard”(不够标准的）. Stokoe’s idea was academic heresy – a belief contrary to what was generally accepted.

It is 37 years later. Stokoe—now devoting his time to writing and editing books and journals and to producing video materials on ASL and the deaf culture—is having lunch at a cafe near the Gallaudet campus and explaining how he started a(n) __52__. For decades educators fought his idea that signed languages are natural languages __53__ English, French and Japanese. They assumed language must be based on speech, the modulation (调节) of sound. But sign language is based on the movement of hands, the modulation of _54_. “What I said,” Stokoe explains, “is that language is not mouth stuff(素材)—it’s _35_ stuff.” 41. A. unique 42. 42. A. varies understands 43. A. argument statement

B. definition

C. conclusion

D.

B. specific B. applies

C. inexact C. interrelates
