Directions: After reading the passage below, fill in each blank with a proper word given in the
box. Each word can be used only once. Note that there is one more word than you need.
While I was jumping rope, my phone took a fall to the hardwood floor which created
multiple cracks on my screen. However, the music kept 31 , so all as well - or so I
thought.
Thirty minutes later, I could see only one-tenth of my screen while the rest was
pitch-black. The next morning, I decided not to go to the phone store for 24 hours, I felt a(n)
32 sense of calm that day, which led to my not going for one week. One week ended up
becoming 60 days without my smart-phone.
Here are three 33 I noticed and why you may want to consider a smart-phone
detox（ 戒
除期）yourself:
You’ll become bored
While in line at a Starbucks, I noticed how every individual had their head down, eyes
fixed on their smart-phone. With nothing to distract myself with during the waiting period, I
became bored, and my mind 34 through all sorts of topics.
Boredom is 35 something we avoid at all costs. However, boredom is the perfect way
to make a(n) 36 on a business idea or project. When you enter a state of boredom, ou
allow your mind to relax and escape from the realities of today to the infinite 37 of
tomorrow.
You’ll be able to dramatically reduce your “work”hours
A study found that adults ages 18 to 33 38 their smart-phones 85 times a day, or
once every 10 minutes.
As I learned during my experiment, placing some distance between myself and my
device helped me fall into deep work more easily.
By not having my smart-phone, my distraction time went down and thus my hours of
work were spent more efficiently and effectively. On numerous occasions, I found myself
39 what to do with the afternoon since I had already completed my high-impact tasks
for the day.
Your mental well-being will receive a boost（提高）
Obviously, without a cellphone, I experienced a lack of 40 news and comments.
While that helped cause a dramatic boost in my mental well-being, the biggest reason for it
was truly connecting to people.

Section B
Directions：After reading the passage below, fill in each blank with a proper word given in the box.
Each word can only be used once. Note that there is one word more than you need.
When was the last time that you dialed a phone number from memory? It probably depends
on how long you’ve been using ____11____ like a cellphone. While some generations can recall
the days of memorizing phone numbers, it’s possible that members of Generation Z have never
had to remember a single ____12____. Why is this? Because smartphones offer quick and
convenient ways for storing and ____13____ information. There is no need to memorize anything.
But this isn’t without consequence. As digital devices develop, more and more users’ heavy
reliance on them may be having disabling effects.“Digital dementia（失智）”is the term being used
by medical professionals to identify some of these effects.
Some professionals like Jim Kwik, an expert in memory improvement and optimal brain
performance, are taking a closer look at this effect. Kwik describes digital dementia like
this:“we’re ____14____ our brains to our smart devices. We’re so reliant on our smartphones that
our smartphones are making us stupid. As medical studies chart the decline in memory and
cognitive skills among smartphone users, a connection is made between symptoms ____15____
with dementia.”
The seriousness of overuse becomes ____16____ when you consider just how young
smartphone users are becoming. Author and speaker Simon Sinek points out that young
minds“Are not ready for it! Their minds cannot cope with the dopamine（多巴胺）.”Consequently,
the overstimulation of screens and sounds lead to ____17____ more often than not. So now
parents, teachers and managers are asking how to handle the influx（汇集）of young people with
this kind of addiction.
First, monitor your cellphone use. Keep downloading applications like Forest or Checky.
Then cut back on any ____18____ usage. Set a specific goal of how much you think you should
use your phone.
Determine ____19____ areas for cellphone use. For example, while you’re at home, only
allow yourself to check your phone somewhere like a home office. This way, the time in between
tasks isn’t ____20____ filled with staring at your screen.
