D.Talk with native speakers in the fleshBA while back I caught a news report on something called couch surfing and the network of trusting souls who make this phenomenon possible. They offer to put up travelers free of charge and help them on their ways. At first, it sounded unbelievable. I mean, inviting strangers into ones home for one or two nights? Give me a break.However, I was intrigued. I decided to investigate. The only way to truly learn about this phenomenon was to dive in. So I planned a trip to Finland, a country Ive always wanted to explore. I would couch surf at every stop there.If ever any anxiety existed when stepping into the unknown, it disappeared when my first host met me at the train station. Ari looked like my idea of a typical Finn: tall and blue-eyed. Finns were also supposed to be famously reserved (寡言少语的). Ari was anything but. He was a live wire, giving me an enthusiastic welcome and hiking with me to his apartment, where he showed me the sleeper sofa, served me tea, and engaged me in warm conversations. He also handed me a key to come and go as I pleased.If this was what couch surfing was all about trust and friendship then I had gotten off to a good start. As I boarded my next train to continue my journey, I began to think about this couch-surfing idea. What urged these people to open their homes to strangers? I concluded that there was a desire to lend a hand to like-minded folks who might enrich their own lives.Seven cities in 14 days. Seven hosts. Seven new friends. If couch surfing taught me anything, its this: Most people are good and generous. Where will couch surfing take me next? Who knows? But I cant wait to find out.24. Which of the following best explains intrigued underlined in the second paragraph?A interested.B. disgusted. C. relaxed. D. embarrassed.25. What can we know about Ari?A. He was reserved like most Finns.B. He treated the author as a friend. C. He talked less but he was friendly .D. He saw off the author at the train station.26.Why did people offer couch surfing to strangers?A. To make friends with strangers.B. To exchange houses for a short time.C. To enrich their own lives by helping others.D. To learn more about others family lives.27.What can be the suitable title for the text?A. A Plan for Couch SurfingB. A Free Travel in FinlandC. Experiences in Strangers HousesD. Travel on Trust and CouchesCYou get anxious if theres no wi-fi in the hotel or mobile phone signal up the mountain. You feel upset if your phone is getting low on power and you secretly worry things will go wrong at work if youre not there. All these can be called “always on” stress caused by smart phone addiction. For some people, smart phones have liberated them from the nine-to-five work. Flexible working has given them more autonomy in their working lives and enabled them to spend more time with their friends and families. For many others though, smart phones have become cruel masters in their pockets, never allowing them to turn them off and relax. Pittsburgh-based developer Kevin Holesh was worried about how much he was ignoring his family and friends in favor of his iPhone. So he developed an app Moment to monitor his usage. The app enables users to see how much time theyre spending on the device and set up warnings if the usage limits are broken. “Moments goal is to promote balance in your life,” his website explains. “Some time on your phone, some time off it enjoying your loving family and friends around you.” Dr. Christine Grant, an occupational psychologist at Coventry University, said, “The effects of this always on culture are that your mind is never resting, and youre not giving your body time to recover, so youre always stressed. And the more tired and stressed we get, the more mistakes we make. Physical and mental health can suffer.” And as the number of connected smart phones is increasing, so is the amount of data. This is leading to a sort of decision paralysis (瘫痪) and is creating more stress in the workplace because people have to receive a broader range of data and communications which are often difficult to manage. “It actually makes it more difficult to make decisions and many do less because theyre controlled by it all and feel they can never escape the office,” said Dr. Christine Grant.28.Whats the first paragraph mainly about? A.The popularity of smart phones. B.The progress of modern technology. C.The signs of “always on” stress. D.The cause of smart phone addiction.29.Kevin Holesh developed Moment to _. A.research how people use their mobile phones B.help people control their use of mobile phones C.make people better use mobile phones D.increase the fun of using mobile phones30.Whats Dr. Christine Grants attitude towards “always on” culture? A.confused. B.positive. C.doubtful. D.critical.31.According to the last paragraph, a greater amount of data means _. A.we will become less productive B.we can make a decision more quickly C.we will be equipped with more knowledge D.we can work more effectivelyDPlants are boring. They just sit there photosynthesizing (光合作用) while animals have all the fun. Right? Not so much. A new study has found that there is a long history of interactions between ants and plants. The ant and plant co-evolution (协同进化) started with ants feeding on plants and plants evolving ant-friendly features. Plants make a number of different structures that are specific for ant use. Some plants have evolved features that persuade ants into defending them from attack from other insects and even mammals. These include hollow thorns that ants will live inside, or extra nectar (琼浆) on leaves or stems for the ants to eat. Some ants will just cheat and take the nectar and run, but some will stick around and attack anything that tries to hurt the plant. Other plants get ants to help them move their seeds around, by providing them with rich food packets attached to the seeds. The ant will pick up the seed and carry it away, eat the food packet, and leave the seed often in a nutrient-rich area where itll grow better, and since its farther away from its parent, they wont have to compete for resources. But scientists werent sure how the evolutionary relationship between ants and plants got started. If evolution is an arms race between species developing ways to make use of their neighbors, then scientists wanted to know whether plants or ants fired the first shot. It was a chicken-and-egg question, whether things started with ants developing behaviors to take advantage of plants, or plants evolving structures to take advantage of ants. The history of ants and plants evolving together goes back to the time of the dinosaurs, and its not easy to tell from fossils who fired the first shot. However, it is a question of little significance. Scientists say their study matters because it provides a look at how these widespread and complex interactions evolved. 32. Some plants attach food packets to their seeds in order to _. A. reward the ants B. make a fool of ants C. provide nutrition for the seeds D. get the seeds moved around 33. What does Paragraph 2 mainly tell us? A. How plants and ants interact. B. What ants do to protect plants. C. How plants and ants survive attacks. D. Why plants and ants need co-evolution.34. Which is true about the evolutionary relationship between ants and plants? A. Ants depended more upon plants. B. It caused a race for better evolution. C. How it got started was uncertain. D. It was of little value for future studies. 35. Whats the authors purpose of writing the passage? A. To introduce a science research method. B. To inform readers of a latest research finding. C. To arouse readers interest in science research. D. To criticize peoples traditional views about plants.第二节（共5小题; 每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。Dream is strength.
