If we look at our society, we can see that all kinds of people are using smart phones. 16.1 would like to suggest that all smart phones in the family should be putaway for sixty to ninety minutes each evening.Why? Lefs take a 17 look at what the results of it might be if such a piece of advice was accepted. Families could use the time for a real family hour. Without phones, they might sit around together after dinner and 18 talk to one another. In fact, many of our problems are 19 by failure to communicate. By using the quiet family hour to20 our problems, we might get to know each other better.On evenings when such a talk is 21, families could discover other activepastimes. They might take a ride or a walk together to 22 from smart phones. With free time and no smart phones, children and adults might 23 reading. They might find there is more fun in a good book than in an electronic game. According to some educators, the generation 24 with smart phones can hardly write an English sentence, even at the college level. Actually, writing is often 25 through adequate reading. So with more time on books, a more literate （有文化的）new generation could be a product of the26 hour.A 27 form of reading might also be done as it was in the past: reading aloud. The quiet hour could become the story hour. We may find it hard to return from our newly- discovered activities and 28 the next story time.How will we spend the time without smart phones? At first glance, it could be very difficult, or almost 29. The fact is that it has been only ten years since smart phones came to30 our time. Those of us twenty-five or older can remember our childhood without smart phones. It wasn't so difficult as we think.16. A. ButB. AlthoughC. SinceD.However17. A. regretfulB. newC. strictD.serious18.

And the three astronauts of Shenzhou XIII stayed in space for six months.China is also pushing forward its exploration of other stars.On May 15, Tianwen 1 successfully touched down on Mars. China also launched its first solar observation satellite （太阳探测卫星）Xihe on Oct 14. Rockets are expensive. The New York Times said a rocket costs the same as a Boeing 747 ,but flying only once. Reusable rockets will therefore greatly lower the cost of space launches. This will allow more space tasks to take place. Reusable rockets will also complete daily tasks, like supplying space stations, far more moneysaving.Later in 2022, Blue Origin will launch its own reusable rocket, New Glenn, into low-Earth orbit. It's designed to be reused up to 25 times. Back to the moonlf everything goes according to schedule, 2022 could be one of the busiest years the moon has ever seen.NASA plans to send a spacecraft to the moon and back in July. The flight, called Artemis 1, will be unmanned. Its aim is to test the safety of the spacecraft. A future flight, Artemis-2, will carry an astronaut to the moon. No humans have visited the moon since the Apollo 17 mission in 1972.

She'd caught me laughing at a piece of flyer（传单）rd just opened. *4Wake-up service: $2.50 fbr each call. At the bottom was a phone number and a drawing of an old phone, like the one my aunt Sara had owned 40 years ago.“Is that flyer ftmny?” Genie asked.“Not really,M I said. "It's just out of date.”“What's a wake-up caH? She wondered. I explained how, before smart-phones, people sometimes paid someone to wake them up with a call.“Who sent this flyer? she asked.“Probably someone older,“ I said, “and could get some money.Her eyes lit up. "Can we order a wake-up call? she asked.“We don't need it., I picked it up and headed fbr the recycling bin （回收箱）.“Wait!” she cried. "I feel sorry fbr the wake-up man, if he needs some money,“ she added, tearing up. "Can't we order?I looked at the flyer with the drawing and remembered, again, my aunt Sara and her phone. As a kid, I'd visited her over Labor Day, when Jerry Lewis would host his charity event for the disabled kids. Aunt Sara would hold my hand, then reach for the phone, dialing （拨打）the number on the screen. Holding the receiver between us, we'd tell the operator （电 话接线员）,"We'd like to help those kids.”Now here was my own child, showing the same big heart I'd once been encouraged to have, and how could I refuse her? I googled the flyer's return address. The address belonged to a man called Raymond. He was in his mid-60s. We called him and, holding the receiver between us, the way Aunt Sara and I used to, told him we needed his service. t4Great! Raymond said in a shaky but friendly voice, clearly amazed at receiving an order from a child.Genie was happy all week.Technology has made some things outdated. But there are still other things the world will always require. In my busy daily life, I'd forgotten that for a moment. I guess I just needed a wake-up call.36. Why did Genie beg to order the service?A.She was afraid of being late.B.She wanted to help.C.She was curious about the serviceD.She was interested in the call.37.

What could be the best title for the passage?A. A Wake-up Man B. A Kind-hearted Girl C. The Wake-up Call D. An Old Phone Travelling around the world can be exciting, but it can also lead to culture shock and feelings of stress.When I moved to Tuscany, Italy, right after college, I was enamored by the scenery. Who wouldn't be? The rolling hills, beautiful buildings and delicious food made the long flight worth every minute. I was excited about my new beginning. But then, I started to notice little things.As an American, we are used to a bit of personal space. Where I'm from, knocking into someone or standing very closely is considered rude. This is different from the truth in Italy.Since this was before translation apps were common, I would feel helpless sometimes fbr not knowing the language. However, Italians like to speak with their hands a habit I've carried over to this day.Of course, just because you've experienced culture shock in one country doesn't mean you won't do so in another.Years later, when 1 moved to China, my experience was special. The culture there was something very foreign to me - down to how to buy things. Before moving there, I had never heard of WeChat or Alipay. I wasn't prepared at all for how important these things would be.Experiencing small waves of culture shock reminds me that I am travelling around the world and that I should appreciate what I'm taking in.American-British writer Bill Bryson said that". the greatest reward of travel is . to be in a position in which almost nothing is so familiar that it is taken for granted （被认为是 理所当然的）41. What does the underlined word “enamored” in Paragraph 2 probably mean?A. worriedB. interestedC. frightenedD. attracted42. What culture shock did the author experience in Italy?A. Italian scenery is not as beautiful as expected.B. Italians don't learn a foreign language.C. Italians stand quite closely to each other.D. Italians like to speak in English.43. What helped the writer understand what Italians were saying to her?A.Their hand gestures.B.Asking for a guide.C.Using translation apps.D.Their appearances.44. We can find that the writer when arriving in China.A.started to buy many things onlineB.experienced culture shockagainC.fit in with life fasterD.has learned about WeChator Alipay45. We can infer that the purpose of the last paragraph is to.A. describe the importance of taking travel for grantedB. learn more about traveling around the worldC. show the challenges of visiting a new placeD. explain the value of experiencing different cultures 四、多句选词填空 仔细阅读下面五个句子，然后用下面方框中所给的单词或短语填空，使每个句子在结 构、句义和逻辑上正确。（提示：选项中有两个是多余的）thirsty / products / won / called in / spread / moved / came in46.
