Earlier this

year,

my husband and I were presented with the chance to make our home in an

urban

with-outgoing mad? Living room, kitchen, office, dining room, all in one small four-walled space.

There were a number of other potential options. We could move out into the suburbs like most

people do in our extraordinarily expensive city and have a small yard may be even a basement. But

there was something about this neat

，

that challenged us. We

like to live differently from the crowd to avoid what everyone else is doing

else is.

my husband said. It was challenging squeezing into the space at first, but then something caught us

by surprise. We started having a ton of fun with our tiny space.

In the past, sometimes we had quite different ideas about which art or decorating style we found

appealing. But here, in this tiny space, we found ourselves having a ton of fun exploring possible

options. There's no room for clutter(

凌乱的东西

), either. This is a gift!

It's been 8 months, and we're staying. Perhaps forever. When a space is this small, you don't

need to spend much in furnishing it, and you cant keep endlessly buying things. There's nowhere to

put them!

This leaves us more financial resources and more time to go out into the much bigger world and

enjoy life. For us living in a

than feeling weighed down, paying for a big space and more and more things. I highly recommend

it.

24. What can we learn from the words of the author's husband?

A. He didn't like to stay in the small space.

B. He made up his mind to stay in the small space.

C. He was uncertain about living in the small space.

D. He encouraged the author to live in the small space.

25. What do we know about the authors experience from the text?

A. It was depressing but inspiring.

B. It was challenging but interesting.

C. It was disappointing but touching.

D. It was embarrassing but rewarding.

26. What's the main advantage of living in the small room to the author?

A. She could enjoy life more.

B. She could avoid the crowds.

C. She could clean the room easily.

D. She could enjoy a feeling of freedom.

27. What is the best title for the text?

A. A new trend of living

B. The joy of living

C. Save space, save money

D. Make good use of space

C

We've known for years that plants can wee, hear, smell and communicate with chemicals. Now,

reported New Scientist, they have been recorded making sounds when stressed.

In a yet-to-be-published study, Itzhak Khait and his team at Tel Aviv University, in Israel, found

that tomato and tobacco plants can make ultrasonic(

超声的

)noises. The plants

of water, or when their sterns(

茎

) are cut. It's just too high-pitched(

音调高的

)for humans to hear.

Microphones

placed

10

centimeters

away

from

the

plants

picked

up

sounds

in

the

ultrasonic

range of 20 to 100 kilohertz(

千赫兹

). Human hearing usually ranges from 20 hertz to 20 kilohertz.

On

average,

tomato

plants

made

35

sounds

an

hour,

while

tobacco

plants

made

11.

When plant stems were cut, tomato plants made an average of 25 sounds in the following hour, and

tobacco plants 15. Unstressed plants produced fewer than one sound per hour, on average.

Perhaps

most

interestingly,

different

types

of

stress

led

to

different

sounds.

The

researchers

trained

a

machine-learning

model

to

separate

the

plants'

sounds

from

those

of

the

wind,

rain

and

other noises of the greenhouse. In most cases, it correctly identified whether the stress was caused by

dryness or a cut, based on a sounds intensity and frequency. Water-hungry tobacco appears to make

louder

sound

than

cut

tobacco,

for

example.

Although

Khait

and

his

colleagues

only

looked

at

tomato and tobacco plants, they think other plants also make sounds when stressed.

If farmers could hear these sounds, said the team, they could give water to the plants that need it

most. As climate change causes more droughts, they said this would be important information for

farmers.

Khait's report also suggests that insects and mammals can hear the sound up to 5 meters away

and

respond.

For

example,

a

moth(

蛾子

)may

decide

not

to

lay

eggs

on

a

water-stressed

plant.

Farmer,

University

of

Lausanne,

Switzerland,

is

doubtful.

He

said

that

the

idea

of

moths listening to plants is

If plants are screaming for fear of their survival, should we be thankful we cant hear them?

28. What did Khait and his team find from their research?

A. Plants made low-pitched sounds when in danger.

B. Plants were able to produce sounds in response to stresses.

C. 'Plants picked up a wider range of sounds when stressed.

D. Plants made ultrasonic noises to communicate with each other.

29. How did tomato and tobacco plants react to different stresses according to the text?

A. A plant reacted to different stresses with the same sound.

B. Cut tomato plants produced more sounds per hour than water-hungry ones.

C. Cut tobacco plants seemed to make weaker sounds than drought- stressed ones.

D. Tobacco plants might make louder sounds than tomato plants when short of water.

30. What's the main idea of Paragraph 6?

A. The potential applications of the research.

B. Challenges facing farmers in the future.

C. Farmers contributions to the research.

D. What the future agriculture will be like.

31. The underlined word

A. practical

Although

there

is growing

research

into

the

negative

effect

that

screen-based

technology

can

have on well- being(

健康

), the trick technology companies have somehow played is that they have

made it our problem, not theirs. For example, it is ridiculous that we blame young people for being

addicted to their apps when the simple truth is that they are designed to be addictive. In the world of

apps, addiction is what brings in money.

Whether

you

run

a

video

service,

a

news

site

or

a

mobile

game,

certainly

your

produce

will

have an effect on the mental health of your users--- negative or positive. But the sad reality is that if

you are not optimizing that effect, it tends to be former. The reason why so much technology doesn't

support well-being was no a consideration in its design.

An important area for improvement is notifications(

通知

). Notifications area great example of a

feature that's great for the product but bad for the users, since not only do they make us less focused

but they also cause anxiety about the things we've

missed, a symptom of addiction. There is very

little good about an inbox icon(

收件箱图标

)showing a bright red circle with a high number on it.

Notifications can be made friendlier by not showing them in real time. (Me idea is to show the level

of unread messages through the weight of the app name. So if you had lots of emails, your Mail app

would be very bold(

粗体的

), but if you didn't have any, it would be lighter. In this way, less attention

will be required.

Though

it

sounds

challenging,

finally

money

will

talk.

It

is

possible

to

make

changes

to

products that don't damage their primary income models. Changes could be made that help us feel

better about ourselves. When a company becomes more well-being- positive, they add a competitive

difference and become more attractive.

32. What can be concluded from the first paragraph?

A. Young people can be tricked easily.

B. Screen-based technology is negative.

C. The addiction problem can't be solved.

D. Tech companies are to blame for addiction.

33. If the users don't improve the effect on well-being, it tends to be

.

A. indifferent

B. optimistic

C. pessimistic

D. interesting

34. How can the apps reduce the negative effects according to the author?

A. By removing the inbox icon.

B. By limiting people's screen time.

C. By making notifications less eye- catching.

D. By informing the users of messages in no time.

35. What does the author think of well-being-positive companies?

A. They will enjoy the benefit finally

B. They will have an uncertain future.

C. They will do good to the minority.

D. They will change income models.

Smartwatches

and

fitness

track ers(

健身追踪器

)have

gained

popularity

recently.

These

tools

can record your daily steps, heart rates, etc.

36

. If yes, it might be a sign that you've addicted

to your fitness tracker.

37

. If you keep setting unrealistic daily goals that involve working out for too long, and

if you begin to ignore friends and-responsibilities to make time for your workout, then you're most

probably addicted to your fitness tracker.

It's a struggle to overcome the addiction to fitnesstrackers.

38

.For example, the number

in your smart watch showing how far you've come can give you a sense of achievement.

Of

course,

failing

to

meet

your

daily

goal

can

be

discouraging.

You

might

focus

on

your

shortcomings rather than your progress. Another problem is that you might find yourself paying too

much attention to the step number rather than how your body feels.

39

.

Therefore, if you've spending too much time looking at your smartwatch, limit your daily step

count to a comfortable level.

40

. For example, concentrating on your hobbies or socializing

with friends can be a great way to keep your mind on other things.

A. Don't overuse your smartwatch.

B. It doesn't convey what you're really feeling.

C. After all, reaching a daily step count can be so appealing.

D. How can you tell whether you're addicted to your fitness tracker?

E. Actually, this addiction to step count can be risky, mentally and physically.

F. However, do you find yourself checking your steps and heart rates too often?

G. Besides, you can find other things to do that don't involve checking your fitness tracker.
