T. S. Eliot wrote of “Distracted from distraction by distraction /Filled with fancies and empty of meaning.” T. S. Eliot never had a smartphone.
Neither did I for a long time. No Facebook account; not even email. But according to my date of manufacture, I’m supposed to be a digital native. Perhaps it’s because by the age of 20 I was living in the Welsh countryside with no signal and no Wi-Fi.
When I finally fell into the digital world, I fell hard. Unlike my friends for whom social media and mobile technology had grown and flowered around them, for me it was a sudden immersion. I got Facebook, Twitter and Gmail accounts at the same time that I got an iPhone 4. I would check my phone; five minutes later I would check my phone again. I was addicted and it started to affect my relationships with friends and family.
One night, without a word, I abandoned my iPhone and bought a Nokia 3310 and became the talk of the town. Soon I became aware that not only had I stolen secret time back from the hurried days, but somehow a secret space as well. I could stretch out, free to think again, to be wholly creative and to learn meaningfully.
But, wherever I went I got bloody lost. Wandering blindly around London, only to miss appointments, became a frequent pastime (消遣). What did we do before Google Maps I was useless. The change was worth it, though. I’ll sound like an overstatement but I think it changed my life. My choices are broader and healthier because I’m not being screamed at all day.
I bought a new Samsung phone last week. I had been scared of the rate of progress, crying: “Stop the train! Stop the madness.” But I want to be part of building the future, and to do that, you’ve got to swim in contemporary waters. Rejecting the modern world doesn’t help anyone. It slows you down and I need to be efficient. Time will tell whether I’ve mastered the wisdom to reject constantly checking my phone.
24. What can be learned about the author when she lived in the Welsh countryside
A. She read a lot of T. S. Eliot. B. She had no friends to talk with.
C. She had no access to the Internet. D. She was afraid of the digital world.
25. Why did the author buy the Nokia 3310
A. She thought she needed a spare phone. B. She found her iPhone stopped working.
C. She wanted to attract people’s attention. D. She hoped to break her smartphone addiction.
26. What happened after the author used the Nokia 3310
A. She led a simple and healthy life. B. She found her life was in a mess.
C. She spent more time with her friends. D. She became an example for other people.
27. For what purpose did the author buy the Samsung phone
A. To seek wisdom. B. To stop her madness.
C. To keep pace with the times. D. To get back to the real world.
C
Taking vitamin pills in high doses(剂量) can significantly increase the risk of cataracts(白内障), a study has shown.
Scientists found that consuming large amounts of vitamin C made individuals 20 percent more likely to develop the condition, which is a leading cause of blindness. And regularly taking high-dose vitamin E tablets increased the chance of cataracts forming by 60 percent. The dangers are even greater for the elderly, with those over 65 nearly doubling their chances of damaging their vision if they took these vitamins every day.
Researchers from the Karolinska Institute in Stockholm monitored 31,000 volunteers aged between 45 and 79. Nearly 3,000 of them went on to need treatment for their eyes. The Swedish team discovered a strong link between those who developed cataracts and those who took high doses of vitamins C and E.
It was originally thought that the two vitamins would protect against cataracts because they are powerful antioxidants(脱氧化剂). It was supposed that they would fight the process of oxidation(氧化), which destroys cells in much the same way as rust(锈) rots a car. However, it is now believed that, in large quantities, vitamin C may actually cause oxidation by upsetting the natural balance of proteins in the eye.
The human body does not make or store vitamin C, and gets its supply from fruit and vegetables. It only needs 40 mg a day to keep cells healthy and promote healing. Vitamin E helps maintain the structure of cells and is found in food items such as nuts and seeds. A man needs just 4 mg a day and a woman should have 3 mg. But tablets containing up to a hundred times this amount are also available in UK health food shops. Researchers stressed that the dangers will only be caused if the vitamins are taken in very large amounts. These were defined as 1,000 mg of vitamin C and 100 mg of vitamin E a day.
However, Professor Yit Yang, from the Royal College of Ophthalmologists in Australia, said, “It is not possible to establish from this study that vitamin C caused cataracts, as there may be other factors(因素) that were not accounted for.”
28. What do we know about the research from the text
A. The research was conducted in Australia.
B. The volunteers covered the full range of ages.
C. Almost 10 percent of the volunteers had something wrong with their eyes.
D. The research found vitamin C is more likely to cause cataracts than vitamin E.
29. What did the scientists think of the vitamins originally
A. They could lead to blindness.
B. They could cause cataracts.
C. They could increase oxidation.
D. They could prevent cataracts.
30. What might be the best title for the text
A. The Side Effects of Vitamins C and E
B. The Fight Between Vitamins and Oxidation
C. Does a High Vitamin Intake Equal Cataracts
D. Why Are High Doses of Vitamins Bad for Health
31. What is the author’s purpose in writing this text
A. To warn people not to take too many vitamins.
B. To tell people about a new medical discovery.
C. To reveal the risks of antioxidants and the like.
D. To explain the relationship between vitamins and blindness.
D
WHAT are scientists They are often described as grey-haired white-coated dull scholars.
But the world has changed. Young scientists are making their voices heard and releasing their powers on the world stage.
This is also true in China. Rising stars include new materials expert Gong Yongji, university professor Liu Mingzhen, and biologist Wan Ruixue.
At the age of 28 in 2018, Wan Ruixue received the 2018 Science & SciLifeLab Prize for Young Scientists. This is a global prize to reward outstanding scientists at an early stage of their careers.
She focuses mainly on Biomedicine and Molecular Biology (分子生物学) . “Both are cutting-edge (尖端的) technologies at an early stage of development,” she said.
“So, I think they have great potential to be developed. I think in the study of cutting-edge technologies, China and other leading countries in the world are standing at the same starting line. And in the study of Structural Biology, China is likely to become the leader.”
She felt it was her fate to become a biologist. “I grew interested in the natural world when I was very young,” she said. In 2009, she entered Sun Yat-sen University.
In her third year at university, she realized that she wanted to do something related to biomedicine. So she e-mailed China's top biologist Shi Yigong, hoping to join his lab at Tsinghua University.
Shi recognized her talent and welcomed her. Years of efforts at the lab have paid off. Her research on the high-definition 3-D structure of spliceosome led to a scientific breakthrough.
Unlike many of other young scientists who choose to pursue further study abroad, Wan currently has no plan to go overseas.
“The whole ecosystem for scientific research is continually improving in China,” she said, adding that the country has great science facilities.
32. What does the underlined word “releasing” in Paragraph 2 mean
A. Giving out. B. Getting over. C. Finding out. D. Taking over.
33. What does Wan Ruixue feel about the study of cutting-edge technologies in China
A. Anxious. B. Confident. C. Disappointed. D. Satisfied.
34. What can we learn about Wan Ruixue's journey of becoming a biologist
A. Her teacher led her into the field. B. She finds it's easier than she thought.
C. Her contribution has been recognized. D. She thinks it's boring but worth trying.
35. Which can be the best title of the text
A. China's Breakthrough in Science B. Rising Young Scientists in China
C. Successful Chinese Scientists D. New Image of Chinese Scientists

阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成以一篇完整的短文。
Tom could communicate well with other people through the computer or even on the phone, but when it came to making public presentations, he was hopeless. He was aware that people at conferences would count up the times he said such things as “what I really meant to say was” when he got nervous.
Tom was an expert in Reality Robotics Company. His boss had asked him to do something that he was absolutely scared about. The next month he would be presenting on behalf of his company, and there would be a lot of people, and his boss, who had never attended Tom's presentations, wanted to impress the audience with the innovative work that the company was doing. Tom knew his boss's respect for him would plummet(坠落) if he said that he could not do it. So, he worked like crazy on the task.
One day, he felt a great need to relax. He turned on the TV. He laughed, and smiled through the first show, making him feel a little better. But it was the second show that really got to him, where the ventriloquist (腹语术者)Arthur worked with his dummy (假人). This really provided him with an inspiration for how he was going to make his much-feared presentation a success.
The next day, he organized a meeting of the people that had the skills he needed, and, of course, his boss. When he explained what he wanted to do, he could sense that everyone was with him on this plan. But a lot of work had to be done for the object of the plan to be completed.
It was the day of the presentation.Tom was somewhat nervous, but nowhere near to the extent that he usually was for just such a situation. And they had to get to their destination early, for what needed to be done had to be completed before the audience knew what was going on.
注意:
1.续写词数应为150左右:
