B

The rise in smartphones (智能手机) among young people may be having a direct effect on how successful they become as adults.

Research from the University of Nebraska Lincoln has discovered university students check their phones 11 times per lesson on average, and more than 80 percent believe this tech addiction is interfering with their learning.

A quarter of students across five American states also blamed poor grades in exams specifically on the fact that they used mobile devices when they should have been concentrating and revising and these grades could determine the jobs they end up going into.

Barney McCoy, an associate professor of broadcasting at the university, surveyed 777 students at six universities across five states about how they used digital devices in the classroom.

The students were from UNL, the University of Nebraska Lincoln at Omaha in Nebraska, Morningside College in Iowa, the University of North Carolina, the University of Kansas and the University of Mississippi.

Around two thirds said they used phones, tablets and laptops for ＂non-classroom purposes＂ up to ten times during a typical university day, while 15 percent admitted this figure was closer to 30 times.

Among the top reasons why 55 percent of students checked their devices so regularly were staying connected and fighting boredom. Less than half said the devices were used for classwork.

Texting was the most popular distraction (娱乐) technique at 86 percent, while 68 percent said they used their phones to check personal emails. Two thirds used social networks, 38 percent surfed the web and 8 percent admitted playing games when they should have been studying.

Despite eight out of ten students admitting their devices were distracting, fewer than five percent considered it to be a ＂very big＂ distraction.

＂I don’t think students necessarily think it’s a big problem,＂ said McCoy. ＂They think it’s part of their lives.＂

1.The majority of the students think that using smartphones __________.

A. helps to improve their grades

B. contributes to their poor grades

C. has a bad effect on their study

D. determines their jobs in the future

2. How many students surveyed used digital devices for ＂non-classroom purposes＂ about 30 times during a day?

A. About 518.　　 　　　　 B. About 116.

C. About 427.　　 　　　　 D. Less than 388.

3. Which of the following is TRUE?

A. Barney McCoy surveyed 777 students at the university he works in.

B. A minority of the students said they used digital devices for classwork.

C. Around two thirds admitted they used digital devices because lessons were boring.

D. Barney McCoy doesn’t think students’ using digital devices is a big problem.

4.The text is most likely to be found in a section about __________.

A. successful people　　　　　 B. political systems

C. science and technology　　　　 D. historical events

One of the biggest social issues in Japan is the increasingly low marriage rate among young people and the small birth rate, which led to an aging and eventually shrinking（萎缩） population. Most young Japanese women simply don’t seem interested in having many children.

Now what began in Japan is happening globally. As David Brooks wrote, birth rate is becoming smaller in much of the world, from Iran — 1.7 births rate per woman — to Russian, where low birth rates connected with high death rates mean the population is already shrinking. And this includes US, which has long had higher birth rates than most developed nations. Aging countries will face the burden of caring for large elderly populations without a larger resource of young workers.

It’s true that global aging is going to present some major challenges. Who will take care of the elderly? Will an older world be less active and slower to change and adapt? It’s all true. Sometimes I worry about a coming generational war over resources, just as I worry about how I will take care of my own parents in their old age, just as I worry about who might take care of me.

But here’s the thing: an older world may have less pressure on the environment. As we all know, the environment is the real victim of overpopulation.

So maybe a world that grows slower and grows older will put less pressure on the environment, and buy us a few more years to ensure our energy use, along with our birthrates, reaches a sustainable（可持续的）level. After all, we’re supposed to get smarter as we got older. Hopefully that holds true for the planet as well.

1.The population issue in Japan was mentioned to ________.

A. show young people’s preference to marriage

B. introduce the topic of global birth rate becoming smaller

C. indicate the deeper cause of Japan’s depression

D. emphasize the revolution of Japanese women

2.Which of the following statements is TRUE according to David Brook?

A. The birth rates all over the world are becoming smaller.

B. The most developed countries have higher death rates.

C. America is the only developed country with higher birth rate.

D. Birth rate’s becoming smaller means a great risk to aging countries.

3.Which will be caused by low birth rates according to the passage?

A. Aging society. B. Environmental problems.

C. High death rates. D. Low employment rates.

4.What’s the author’s attitude to the worldwide birth rates becoming smaller?

A. Anxious. B. Disappointed.

C. Hopeful. D. Doubtful.

Most young people enjoy some forms of physical activity. It may be walking, cycling, or swimming, or in winter, skating or skiing. It may be a game of some forms—football, basketball, hockey, golf or tennis. It may be mountaineering.

Those who have a passion of climbing high and difficult mountains are often looked upon with astonishment. Why are men and women willing to suffer cold and hardship, and to take risks in high mountains? This astonishment is caused, probably, by the difference between mountaineering and other forms of activity to which men give their leisure.

Mountaineering is a sport and not a game. There are no man-made rules, as there are for such games as golf and football. There are, of course, rules of different kinds which would be dangerous to ignore, but it is this freedom from man-made rules that makes mountaineering attractive to many people. Those who climb mountains are free to use their own methods.

If we compare mountaineering with other more familiar sports we might think that one big difference is that mountaineering is not a “team game”. We should be mistaken in this. There are, it is true, no “matches” between “teams” of climbers, but when climbers are on a rock face linked by a rope on which their lives may depend, there is obviously teamwork.

The mountain climber knows that he may have to fight forces that are stronger and more powerful than man. He has to fight the forces of nature. His sport requires high mental and physical qualities.

A mountain climber continues to improve his skills year by year. A skier is probably past his best by the age of thirty. But it is not unusual for men of fifty or sixty to climb the highest mountains in the Alps. They may take more time than younger men, but they perhaps climb with more skills and less waste of effort, and they certainly experience equal enjoyment.

1.What sports are popular among people in winter in the passage?

A. Soccer and golf.　　 B. Skiing and skating.

C. Cycling and hockey.　　 D. Mountaineering.

2.What does the underlined word “passion” in Paragraph 2 mean?

A. Strong emotion.　　 B. Good way.　　 C. Better skill.　　 D. Good reason.

3.Why does the author think mountaineering is a sport, not a game?

A. Because it has man-made rules.

B. Because it is too dangerous for climbers.

C. Because it can't bring people joy or leisure.

D. Because it is free for climbers to use their own methods.

4.What can we learn from the passage?

A. Mountaineering is not attractive to people.

B. Physical quality is more important than mental one for climbers.

C. A mountain climber passes his best by the age of thirty.

D. It is possible for an old man of fifty or sixty to climb the Alps.

5.What is the best title for the passage?

A. Sports in winter　　 B. Team work in climbing
