21．（6分）Owning a smart phone may not be as smart as you think.They may let you surf the Internet,listen to music and snap photos wherever you are…but they also turn you into a workaholic（工作狂）,it seems.
A study suggests that,by giving you access to emails at all times,the smart phone adds as much as two hours to your working day.Researchers found that Britons work an additional 460 hours a year on average as they are able to respond to emails on their mobiles.The study shows the average UK working day is between 9 and 10 hours,but a further 2 hours is spent responding to or sending work emails,or making work calls.
Almost one in ten admits spending up to three hours outside their normal working day checking work emails.Some workers confess they are on call almost 24 hours a day.Nearly two-thirds say they often check work emails just before they go to bed and as soon as they wake up,while over a third have replied to one in the middle of the night.The average time for first checking emails is between 6 a.m and 7 a.m,with more than a third checking their first email in the period,and a quarter checking them between 11p.m.and midnight.
Ghadi Hobeika,marketing director of Pixmania,said:“The ability to access millions of Apps has made smart phone invaluable for many people.However,there are disadvantages.Many companies expect their employees to be on call 24 hours a day,seven days a week,and smart phones mean that people cannot get away from work.The more constantly in contact we become,the more is expected of us in a work capacity.” 1、With a smart phone the average UK working day is .

23． While famous foreign architects are invited to lead the designs of landmark buildings in （8分）China such as the new CCTV tower and the National Center for the Performing Arts, many excellent Chinese architects are making great efforts to take the center stage.
Their efforts have been proven fruitful. Wang Shu, a 49-year-old Chinese architect, won the 2012 Pritzker Architecture Prize—which is often referred to as the Nobel Prize in architecture—on February 28. He is the first Chinese citizen to win this award.
Wang serves as head of the Architecture Department at the China Academy of Art (CAA). His office is located at the Xiangshan campus of the university in Hangzhou, Zhejiang Province. Many buildings on the campus are his original creations.
The style of the campus is quite different from that of most Chinese universities. Many visitors were amazed by the complex architectural space and abundant building types. The curves(曲线) of the buildings perfectly match the rise and fall of hills, forming a unique view.
Wang collected more than 7 million abandoned bricks of different ages. He asked the workers to use traditional techniques to make the bricks into walls, roofs and corridors. This creation attracted a lot of attention thanks to its mixture of modern and traditional Chinese elements.
Wang’s works show a deep understanding of modern architecture and a good knowledge of traditions. Through such a balance, he had created a new type of Chinese architecture, said Tadao Ando, the winner of
the 1995 Pritzker Prize.
Wang believes traditions should not be sealed in glass boxes at museums. “That is only evidence that traditions once existed,” he said.
“Many Chinese people have a misunderstanding of traditions. They think tradition means old things from the past. In fact, tradition also refers to the things that have been developing and that are still being created,” he said.
“Today, many Chinese people are learning Western styles and theories rather than focusing on Chinese traditions. Many people tend to talk about traditions without knowing what they really are,” said Wang.
The study of traditions should be combined with practice. Otherwise, the recreation of traditions would be artificial and empty, he said.
1、What impressed visitors to the CAA Xiangshan campus most? A．Its hilly environment. C．Its unique style.
B．Its large size. D．Its diverse functions.
2、What made Wang’s architectural design a success? A．The mixture of different shapes. B．The balance of East and West. C．The use of popular techniques. D．The harmony of old and new.
3、What should we do about Chinese traditions according to Wang? A．Spread them to the world. C．Teach them in universities.
B．Preserve them at museums. D．Recreate them in practice.
24． Our mother earth is going through a very tough situation and we, the entire human race, （8分）are destroying our environment or unconsciously without even realizing its consequences. Now we have to act very smartly and plan something to sustain what we still have, getting all necessary support from nature to lead healthy lives.
Gardening is always an excellent and environmentally friendly idea. If you can go for sustainable gardening, then it will be even more useful for all. Gardening is a favorite hobby for many. It is time to channelize your hobby towards a more meaningful motivation. When we do gardening we need to use different ingredients(材料) to grow plants. Some of them are natural resources like water, soil, sunshine, and many things like this. Using these resources smartly is a part of sustainable gardening. Some simple techniques include: use less water and organic things to grow plants; try to store rainwater so that you can use them for gardening; try using less energy to drive devices; avoid using plastics in any form while gardening; reuse the leaves from your garden to fertilize them.
