Whenever Michael Carl, the fashion market director at Vanity Fair, goes out to dinner with friends, he plays something called the “phone stack” game: Everyone 31 their phones in the middle of the table; whoever looks at their device before the check arrives 32 the tab（账单）.
Brandon Holley, the former editor of Lucky magazine, had trouble 33 her mobile phone

“Disconnecting is a luxury that we all 42 ,” said Lesley M. M. Blume, a New York writer who keeps her phone away from the dinner table at home. “The expectation that we must always be 43 to employers, colleagues and family creates a real problem in trying to 44 private time. But that private time is more important than ever.”
A popular method for disconnecting is to choose a box for your cellphone, like the milk tin that Ms. Holley uses. “ 45 my phone is buzzing or lighting up, it’s still a distraction, so it 46 in the box.” said Ms. Holley. Others choose new 47 . “No screens after 11 p.m.” said Ari. Melber, a TV host. “Now evenings are more 48 and I am sleeping better.” he added.
Sleep is a big factor, which is why some 49 to leave their phones out of their bedrooms. “I don’t want to sleep next to something full of photos and emails.” said Peter Som, a fashion designer, who keeps his phone plugged in in the living room overnight. “It 50 is a headclearer and distinguishes daytime and sleep time.”

第三部分：阅读理解 (共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分)
请认真阅读下列短文，从短文后各题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。
A
Jeremy Baras remembers the first time he ever saw a pop-up restaurant. The 26-year-old entrepreneur was on vacation in England four years ago and had to look up at the London Eye Ferries wheel to see it. Hanging above him was a capsule（航天舱）full of diners who were served a new course each time a revolution was made. “I thought that was the coolest thing ever”, he says. Baras, who founded PopUpRepublic.com in 2012 to promote the idea of pop-up restaurants in the USA, has been studying them ever since.
Pop-ups, which have been around since at least the early 2000s, are open anywhere from a few hours to several months, but their defining feature is that they are temporary. They may be only a tiny part of the $709 billion U.S. restaurant industry, but pop-ups have gotten a boost in recent years as a lower-cost, lower-risk way for entrepreneurs to test the waters. Some restaurant owners see them as a way to renew interest in existing locations. And some struggling cities, like Oakland, California, have turned to them to help revitalize local economies impacted by the recession（衰退）.
The concept has been especially popular with up-and-coming chefs who want to test-drive as a menu concept without investing a fortune in a permanent space. “Your cooks and chefs are really talented, but they’re stuck in the back of somebody else’s kitchen cooking somebody else’s menu,” says Zach Kupperman, chief businessman officer and co-founder of Dinner Lab.
Chefs in Dinner Lab cook in the middle of space, give a brief introduction about the menu and themselves — and then bravely listen to diner feedback afterward. Pop-ups’ temporary nature also allows restaurateurs to charge a deposit to make sure the diners will show up.
Of course, trends in the food industry come and go quickly, and there is no guarantee that diners won’t tire of the concept. Some entrepreneurs have resorted to even weirder locations — in a
former limestone mine, say, or at the top of a crane — to keep customers interested. “It’s not quite part of the mainstream economy yet.” says Baras.
51. What does the underlined part “a revolution was made” in Paragraph One possibly mean?
A. Chefs designed creative dishes.
B. Diners tasted food in a new and creative way.
C. The capsule containing diners made a circle.
D. Great changes were made in the food industry.
52. Perspective chefs are drawn to pop-ups due to the fact that ________.
A. pop-ups are becoming increasingly popular with diners worldwide
B. they have the desire to explore a safer way to make a living
C. their investment in pop-ups will bring them a long-lasting fortune
D. pop-ups provide a changeable test field for talented chefs’ creativity
53. The writer’s purpose of writing the passenger is ________.
A. to appeal to people to dine out in pop-up restaurants
B. to give a brief introduction of pop-up restaurants
C. to warn business owners of the appearance of pop-up restaurants
D. to foresee the future of pop-up restaurants’ development
B
The pills we take to treat anxiety may affect the behavior of fish, new research in the journal Science suggests.
Swedish researchers found a common drug in rivers downstream of wastewater treatment plants. It is a drug for treating anxiety, called oxazepam. It is accumulating in fish and makes them bolder. Wastewater treatment plants are not designed to get rid of drugs. As a result, the drugs end up in wildlife, reaching harmful levels.
“It’s something we don’t think about very often, but there are a lot of similarities between fish and humans. So some of our responses to drugs can be seen in fish as well,” said Karen Kidd. She is a biologist at the University of New Brunswick, Canada. The mood-altering drugs get into waterways when people taking the prescriptions throw unused pills into the waste stream.
The researchers let perch（鲈鱼）swim in lab tanks with concentrations similar to those found downstream from wastewater treatment plants. “The perch preferred to swim alone rather than in large groups. They were more likely to explore their environment,” said Micael Jonsson of Umeå University in Sweden, who helped lead the research.
Johsson said, “This adventurous behavior required more energy. And they ate more plankton（浮游生物）, or tiny algae-eating animals, to guarantee enough energy for their activities. This could reduce the
population of plankton.” The result could be more algae（水藻）. On the other hand, the new behavior could lead to the opposite effect. If perch make themselves closer to their natural enemies, they are likely to be eaten by them.
None of the scientists is suggesting that people should give up these drugs. They just want to reduce the effects of the medicines on the environment. They recommend wastewater treatment plants should be redesigned to get rid of these medicines. But Kidd said that would be too expensive for some communities.
Bryan Brooks, director of the Environmental Health Science Program at Baylor University, said drugs could also be designed to break down more quickly in the environment. And the government could continue to run recycling programs where people drop off their unused drugs at government locations. Brooks said he’s particularly concerned about drug effects on aquatic（水生的）environments, like the Trinity River south of Dallas and the South Platte River near Denver, where the majority of the flow comes from treated wastewater. In the developing world, he said, the problem may be even worse, because of careless wastewater treatment and industrial regulations.
54. Which of the following best describes oxazepam’s effect on fish?
A. It causes fish to be more daring. B. It makes fish much stronger.
C. It has little influence on fish. D. It helps treat a fish disease.
55. What will happen if perch become adventurous?
A. They will eat more algae. B. There will be less plankton.
C. They will need more oxazepam. D. Their natural enemies will be stronger.
56. What would be the best title for the passage?
A. More wastewater treatment plants are needed
B. Fish in wastewater become more adventurous
C. Drugs for treating mental diseases end up in wildlife
D. Anxiety drugs found in rivers change the behavior of fish
C
Culture can affect not just language and customs, but also how people experience the world on surprisingly basic levels.
Researchers, with the help of brain scans, have uncovered shocking differences in perception（感知）between Westerners and Asians, what they see when they look at a city street, for example, or even how they perceive a simple line in a square, according to findings published in a leading science journal.
In western countries, culture makes people think of themselves as highly independent individuals. When looking at scenes, Westerners tend to focus more on central objects than on their
surroundings. East Asian cultures, however, emphasize inter-dependence. When Easterners look at a scene, they tend to focus on surroundings as well as the object.
Using an experiment involving two tasks, Dr Hedden asked subjects to look at a line simply to estimate its length, a task that is played to American strengths. In another, they estimated the line’s length relative to the size of a square, an easier task for the Asians.
The level of brain activity, by tracking blood flow, was then measured by Brain Scanners. The experiment found that although there was no difference in performance, and the tasks were very easy, the levels of activity in the subjects’ brains were different. For the Americans, areas linked to attention lit up more, when they worked on the task they tended to find more difficult — estimating the line’s size relative to the square. For the Asians, the attention areas lit up more during the harder task also — estimating the line’s length without comparing it to the square. The findings are a reflection of more than ten years of previous experimental research into East-West differences.
In one study, for instance, researchers offered people a choice among five pens; four red and one green. Easterners were more likely to choose a red pen while Westerners were more likely to choose the green one.
Culture is not affecting how you see the world, but how you choose to understand and internalize（使内化）it.
But such habits can be changed. Some psychological studies suggest that when an Easterner goes to the West or vice versa, habits of thought and perception also begin to change. Such research gives us clues on how our brain works and is hopeful for us to develop programs to improve our memory, memory techniques and enhance and accelerate our learning skills.
57. According to the passage, Chinese people are most likely to ________.
A. more emphasize independent thinking
B. always focus more on their surroundings
C. focus on the context as well as the object
D. think of Westerners as highly independent units
58. We know from the passage that people’s brains will be more active when ________.
A. the task is much easier B. the blood flow is tracked
C. people begin to choose colors D. the task is more difficult
59. What does Dr Hedden's experiment in Paragraph 4-5 indicate?
A. Culture has a great impact on the way people talk and behave.
B. Easterners and Westerners perceive the world differently.
C. People's perception of the world can be changed.
D. Americans are better at calculating than the Asians.
60. It can be inferred from the passage that ________.
A. Easterners prefer collectivism to individualism
B. East Asian cultures lay more emphasis on independence
C. it took over ten years to find out how to improve our brainpower
D. Americans will change their habits of perception when they’re in Britain
D
My grandmother Rosalind Einhorn was born exactly fifty-two years before I was, on August 28, 1917. Like many poor Jewish families in New York City, hers lived in a small, crowded apartment close to their relatives. Her parents, aunts and uncles addressed her male cousins by their given names, but she and her sister were referred to only as “Girlie”.
During the Depression, my grandmother was pulled out of Morris High School to help support the household by sewing fabric flowers onto undergarments that her mother could resell for a tiny profit. No one in the community would have considered taking a boy out of school. A boy’s education was the family’s hope to move up the financial and social ladder. Education for girls, however, was less significant both financially, since they were unlikely to contribute to the family’s income, and culturally, since boys were expected to study the Torah while girls were expected to run a “proper home”. Luckily for my grandmother, a local teacher insisted that her parents put her back into school. She went on not only to finish high school but to graduate from U.C. Berkeley.
After college, “Girlie” worked selling pocketbooks and accessories at David’s Fifth Avenue. When she left her job to marry my grandfather, David’s had to hire four people to replace her. Years later, when my grandfather’s paint business was struggling, she jumped in and took some of the hard steps he was unwilling to take, helping to save the family from financial ruin. She displayed her business ability again in her forties. After being diagnosed（诊断）with breast cancer, she beat it and then devoted herself to raising money for the clinic that treated her by selling some watches. Girlie ended up with a profit that Apple would envy. I have never met anyone with more energy and determination than my grandmother.
When my grandmother had children of her own — my mother and her two brothers — she emphasized education for all of them. My mother attended the University of Pennsylvania. When she graduated in 1965 with a degree in French literature, she surveyed a workforce that she believed consisted of two career options for women: teaching or nursing. She chose
teaching. She began a Ph. D. programme, got married, and then dropped out when she became pregnant with me. It was thought to be a sign of weakness if a husband needed his wife’s help to support their family, so my mother became a stay-at-home parent and an active volunteer. The centuries-old division of labor stood.
Even though I grew up in a traditional home, my parents had the same expectations for me, my sister, and my brother. All the three of us were encouraged to do well in school, do equal routine tasks, and participate in after-school activities. We were all supposed to be athletic too. My brother and sister joined sports teams, but I was the kid who got picked last in gym, despite my athletic shortcomings. I was raised to believe that girls could do anything boys could do and that all career paths were open to me.
When I arrived at college in the fall of 1987, my classmates of both genders seemed equally focused on academics. I don’t remember thinking about my future career differently from the male students. I also don’t remember any conversations about someday balancing work and children. My friends and I assumed that we would have both. Men and women competed openly and aggressively with one another in classes, activities，and job interviews. Just two generations removed from my grandmother, the playing field seemed to be level.
But more than twenty years after my college graduation, the world has not evolved nearly as much as I believed it would. Almost all of my male classmates work in professional settings. Some of my female classmates work full-time or part-time outside the home and just as many are stay-at-home mothers and volunteers like my mom. This mirrors the national trend. In comparison to their male counterparts（相同能力者）, highly trained women are scaling back and dropping out of the workforce in high numbers.
61. Why were the writer’s grandma and her sisters called “Girlie”?
A. They had not yet got their given names.
B. They were highly valued by their elders.
C. They shared apparent similarities in many ways.
D. They were regarded as less important than boys.
62. What conclusion can we draw about the writer’s grandmother?
A. She was an extraordinarily able and tough woman.
B. She was full of ideas for solving various problems.
C. She benefited greatly from her family background.
D. She had special ways of teaching her own children.
63. What might people think when the writer’s mother gave up her job?
A. Her freedom of choice ought to be well respected.
B. Her job should be taken over by a younger person.
C. It was a real shame about her losing that good job.
D. It was quite normal for a woman like her to do so.
64. From the description of the writer’s own life, we can see ________.
A. great expectations in the students’ minds
B. seeming social progress in certain aspects
C. innocent friendship between boys and girls
D. positive attitudes to work and competitions
65. By writing the passage the writer intends to reveal ________.
A. the necessity of women’s education
B. the importance of women’s liberation
C. the existence of gender discrimination
D. the lives of three generations of women

When was the last time you read a book or a magazine article? Do your everyday reading habits centre around updates on the Internet? In case you are one of innumerable individuals who don’t make a habit of reading consistently you may be passing up a great opportunity: Reading has a noteworthy number of advantages and only a couple of advantages of reading are recorded below.
Everything you read fills your head with new bits of information and you never know when it might be useful to you. The more knowledge you have, the better- equipped you are to overcome any challenge you’ll ever face. Additionally, here’s a bit of food for thought：Should you ever find yourself in terrible circumstances, remember that although you might lose everything else — your job, your possessions, your money, even your health — knowledge can never be taken from you.
At the same time, the more you read, the more words you gain exposure to, and they’ll surely make their way into your everyday vocabulary. Being able to express your ideas clearly in words is of great help in any profession and knowing that you can speak to higher-ranking people with self-confidence can be a great encouragement to your self-esteem（自尊）. It could even aid in your career as those who are well-read, well-spoken, and knowledgeable on a variety of topics tend to get promotions more quickly (and more often) than those with smaller vocabularies and lack of awareness of literature, scientific breakthroughs, and global events.
Reading books is also vital for learning new languages, as non-native speakers gain exposure to words used in context, which will improve their own speaking and writing fluency.
When you read a book, you have to remember a lot of characters, their backgrounds, ambitions, history as well as the various plots that weave their way through every story. That’s a fair bit to remember, but brains are wonderful things and can remember these things with relative ease. Amazingly enough, whenever you remember something new, new synapses are formed and existing ones are strengthened. How cool that is!
No matter how much stress you have at work, in your personal relationships, or countless other issues faced in daily life, it all just slips away when you lose yourself in a great story. A well-written novel can transport you to other realms（领域）while an interesting article will distract you and keep you in the present moment , letting tensions drain away and allowing you to relax.
You Should Read Every Day

◆ Words in context will help a foreign language learner use the language

Grinding an iron rod into a needle
Li Bai was a great poet in the Tang Dynasty of China.
It is said that in his childhood, he was very fond of playing and afraid of difficulties, and made slow progress in his studies. One day, on his way home after school, he walked by a creek and saw an old woman grinding（磨碎）a very, very thick iron rod. Being curious, he went to the old woman and asked, “Old grandma, why are you grinding this iron rod?” The old woman replied, “To make a needle.” At this moment, Li Bai felt more curious and asked again, “How can you grind such a thick iron rod into a needle?” “Yes, I can. I certainly can,” the old woman said. “If one works with constant effort, one can grind an iron rod into a needle.” Hearing what the old woman said, Li Bai was enlightened. Since then, Li Bai studied hard and made rapid progress. Eventually he became a famous poet.

六、书面表达
One possible version:
Legend has it that Li Bai, enlightened and motivated by an old woman who was grinding a thick rod into a needle, turned out a great poet with constant effort. (30)
This story reminds me of the significance of perseverance, a quality that’s what it takes to do anything well. It was perseverance that helped the old woman accomplish a seemingly impossible mission. Without it, we could hardly work miracles.
Actually behind every great achievement in anyone’s life lies perseverance. Only those who take the courage to go forward and hold on straight to the end can make it, whatever difficulties they may come across. One case in point is Kobe Bryant. To become an outstanding basketball player, he spent all his time practicing despite heavy injuries and great pressure. Finally, his endeavor and persistence paid off and he became a NBA legend.
In conclusion, persistence is important to our life if we are to succeed. (155)

W: How many children have you got?
M: Two. John’s five and Clair’s four. And there’s another on the way.
Text 2
M: Do you think, within a few years, many people could work at home instead of working in offices?
W: Yes, of course. Science and technology have developed really fast these past few years. And in the future, I believe almost all our ideas will become reality.
M: I’m looking forward to it.

W: Do you have anything to declare?
M: Yes, that’s a video camera.
W: Let me have a look at the receipt.
Text 4
W: How much is that?
M: The original price is two hundred dollars. But I can give you 10% off discount.
W: What about another twenty dollars discount?
M: OK.

M: Lucy, could you please turn down the music? I’ve got to go to bed early. I’m catching the first flight to Detroit tomorrow morning.
W: Oh, sorry! I got it. Did you set an alarm?
M: Oh right! Thank you. I forgot.

M: Congratulations on your success in the London marathon today!
W: Thank you! It’s a new record for me.
M: So could you tell me about your early days in Kenya?
W: I lived about 100 miles from the nearest primary school and I used to run to school and back. So when I went to high school and university, it was natural for me to enter races.
M: Is it hard to be a long-distance runner?
W: Well, we have beautiful countryside. It’s a pleasure just to run over those hills.
M: Really? That’s amazing. So what are your plans for the future?
W: The Boston marathon and the Berlin marathon next year.
M: Well, good luck.

M: Oh, I’m starving.
W: Me too. Shall we eat out? There’s a new French restaurant down the street.
M: Oh, forget about it. I went there with a friend last week. The menu was all in French and I just couldn’t read it.
W: That’s what you are upset about.
M: Maybe. But I should say everything was expensive and nothing was to my satisfaction.
W: Then how about the Italian restaurant on the next block?
M: Well, I ate it almost every day last week. Let’s just eat in today.
W: But I’m not in the mood to cook.
M: I’ll cook then. In fact I’m sick and tired of restaurant food. I just want a home-cooked meal.

W: Hi, I’m calling to make some changes to an existing reservation.
M: Certainly. Do you have the reservation number?
W: Sure, it’s 219.
M: That’s a reservation for Sally Menkel. Is that right?
W: Yes, that’s right. I’d like to change the check-in date from September 15 to September 16.
M: Certainly. I can make that change for you. Is that the only change?
W: No, the check-out date will also change from the 23rd to 24th.
M: No problem. We have you arriving on the 16th of September and leaving on the 24th of September altogether, 8 nights. Will there be anything else?
W: Yes. Instead of a courtyard room, I’d like a room with a view, preferably on an upper floor.
M: I can certainly change that for you, but there will be a change in the room rate. The new rate is $199 per night, instead of the original $179.
W: That’s OK. These are all the changes. Thank you very much.

I just celebrated my 95th birthday last week, and people always ask me about my “secret”. Of course, it’s important to eat right and exercise, but that’s not much of a secret. I actually have quite a few friends over the age of 90, and we all say the same thing: laughter. Are we telling jokes all the time? Not necessarily. Are we watching funny movies around the clock? Of course not. Do we take the time to laugh at ourselves and generally try to keep things light as much as we can? Certainly. One of the best ways to make sure you laugh every day is to be around children or pets because they just can’t help being funny! And what about those polite little laughs when your neighbor tells a joke that isn’t really funny, but you laugh anyway? Those are fine, but the ones where you laugh with your whole body and mind are the ones where you end up tired and out of breath, where everyone around you starts laughing, too. My “senior” friends and I even came up with a nice round number: For each “full belly laugh”, you have, you’ll live one extra hour in your lifetime. Now, that might not sound like much, but if you have one every day, you’ll live an extra three or four years. I try to have between five and ten of those laughs every day, and so should you.
