As we rely too much on technology instead of our brains, many people have lost three basic abilities.The first skill many people have lost is remembering phone numbers. Because phone numbers are stored in smart phone contacts, there's now no need to dial a number or look at it again. This is fine until you need to call someone for help only to find your phone is not around.And some people may also have lost their sense of direction because some apps can guide People anywhere they want. People get so dependent on them that when they can't use their smart phones, they get lost and anxious.But the worst lost skills may be social ones, meaning that some people are becoming socially disabled. People often bury themselves in their smart phones. As we're too absent- minded by what's happening in the virtual some of us have lost conversational skills and sometimes can't even tell whether a person is happy or not.Last August, researchers at the University of California, Los Angeles, studied 51 students aged 11 and 12 who had over five hours' screen time every day. Their task was to tell the emotions of 48 pictures of faces that were happy, sad, angry or scared.The children made an average of 14.02 mistakes at the beginning. But after a five-day camp without electronic products, they made only 9.41 mistakes on average.Luckily, people still have a chance to get these abilities back. You should try to keep your parents' numbers in mind for emergencies. You should also pay more attention to street signs and stores, which will help you to draw a mind map and stop you from getting lost. And the easiest solution to social skill loss is to take a break from electronic products.24. The underlined sentence in the second paragraph implies that________．A. you are able to turn to others for helpB. others are able to call you anytime and anywhereC. others are unable to get in touch with you by smart phoneD. you are unable to contact others without your smart phone25. The experiment shows that without electronic products, one could ______．A. recognize more facial expressions correctlyB. lose the sense of direction frequentlyC. tell different emotions immediatelyD. tell more pictures of faces easily26. Overusing smart phones, people will probably _________．A. have no sense of numbersB. lose face-to-face communication skillsC. fail to find their destinationD. weaken their senses of hearing and sight27. What's the writer's attitude towards electronic products?A. objectiveB. criticalC. supportiveD. OptimisticCAs a writer , it takes me a great deal of my time to think about the power of language —the way it can evoke (唤起) an emotion, a visual image, a complex idea, or a simple truth. Language is the tool of my trade. And I use them all — all the Englishes I grew up with.Born into a Chinese family that had recently arrived in California, I’ve been giving more thought to the kind of English my mother speaks. Like others, I have described it to people as “broken” English. But I fe el embarrassed to say that. It has always bothered me that I can think of no way to describe it other than “broken”, as if it were damaged and needed to be fixed, as if it lacked a certain wholeness. I’ve heard other terms used, “limited English”, for exam ple. But they seem just as bad, as if everything is limited, including people’s perceptions (认识) of the limited English speaker.I know this for a fact, because when I was growing up, my mother’s “limited” English limited my perception of her. I was ashamed of her English. I believed that her English reflected the quality of what she had to say. That is, because she expressed them imperfectly her thoughts were imperfect. And I had plenty of evidence to support me: the fact t hat people in department stores, at banks, and at restaurants did not take her seriously, did not give her good service, pretended not to understand her, or even acted as if they did not hear her.I started writing fiction in 1985. And for reasons I won’t get into today, I began to write stories using all the Englishes I grew up with: the English she used with me, which for lack of a better term might be described as “broken”;and what I imagine to be her translation of her Chinese, her internal (内在的) language, and for that I sought to preserve the essence, but neither an English nor a Chinese structure. I wanted to catch what languageability tests can never show: her intention, her feelings, the rhythms of her speech and the nature of her thoughts.28. In Paragraph 1, the sentence “Language is the tool of my trade” means that ________.A. The author uses English in foreign tradeB. The author is fascinated by languagesC. The author is a writer by professionD. The author works as a translator29. The author used to think of her mother’s English as ________.A. impoliteB. amusingC. practicalD. imperfect30. The author gradually realizes her mother’s English is ________.A. well structuredB. in the old styleC. easy to translateD. rich in meaning31. What is the passage mainly about_________?A. The change of the author’s attitude to her mother’s English.B. The limitation of the author’s perception of her mother.C. The author’s misunderstanding of “limited” English.D. The author’s experiences of using broken Engl ish.DAdrian's “Amazing Race” started early when his parents realized that he, as a baby, couldn't hear a thing, not even loud noises. In a special school for the hearingimpaired(听力受损的), he learned the sign language and got to mix with other disabled children. However, the sight of all the disabled children communicating with one another upset his mother. She wanted him to lead a normal life. So after speaking to an advisor, she sent him to private classes where he learned to read lips and pronounce words.Later on, Adrian's parents decided to send him to a regular school. But the headmaster tried to prevent them from doing so, saying regular schools couldn't take care of a special needs student. His parents were determined to take the risk and pushed him hard to go through his work every day because they wanted to prove that, given the opportunity, he could do anything. Adrian made the grade and got accepted. It was a big challenge. The pace(节奏) was faster so he had to sit at the front of the class and really pay attention to the teacher,which wasn't always easy. But he stuck to it and did a lot of extra work after school.The efforts made by Adrian and his parents paid off. Adrian graduated with good grades and got into a top high school. He also achieved a lot in life outside school. He developed a love for the outdoors and went to Nepal to climb mountains. He even entered the World Yacht Race 05/06—being the first hearingimpaired Asian to do so.But none of these achievements would have been possible without one of the most important lessons from his mother. “If you believe in yourself and work hard, you can achieve great results，” she often said.32．How did Adrian communicate with other children in the special school?A．By speaking.B．By using sign language.C．By reading lips.D．By making loud noises.33．Adrian's parents decided to send him to a regular school because________.A．they wanted him to live a normal lifeB．they wanted to prove the headmaster wrongC．he wouldn't mix with other disabled childrenD．he wasn't taken good care of in the special school34．How did Adrian finally succeed in his study?A．He did a lot of outdoor activities.B．He was pushed hard to study every day.C．He attended private classes after school.D．He worked very hard both in and after class.35．Who is the most important person behind Adrian's achievements?A．The headmaster. B．His mother.C．The other disabled children. D．An advisor.第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。
