and give this your full attention.Multitasking shrinks(使.萎缩)the brain?research suggests.A study found that men and womenwho frequently used several types of technology at the same time had less grey matter in a key part of the brain.University of Sussex researchers said,Using mobile phones,laptops and other media devicessimultaneouslycould be changing the structure of our brains.Worryingly,the part of the brain that shrinks is involved in processing emotion.The finding follows research which has linked multitasking with a shortened attention span,depression,anxiety and lower grades at school.The researchers began by asking 75 healthy men and women how often they divided their attention between different types of technology.This could mean sending a text message while listening to music and checking e-mail,or speaking on the phone while watching TV and surfing the Internet.The volunteers were then given brain scans which showed they had less grey matter in a region called the anterior cingu-late cortex(ACC)(前扣带皮层).Scientists have proved that brain structure can be changed on exposure to fresh environments and experience.Other studies have shown that trainingsuch as learning to play magic tricks or taxi drivers learning the map of Londoncan increase grey matter densities(密度)in certain parts.Experts have also warned of the harmful impact technology can have on our memory and attention span.The University of California team conducted a survey of more than 18,000 people aged between 18 and 99，and found 20%had problems with memory.Researchers were shocked greatly by the 14%of 18 to 39-year-old people who also worried about their memories.Multitasking may shorten attention span,making it harder to focus and form memories,the researchers said,adding that youngsters may be particularly affected by stress.1.The underlined word simultaneously in Paragraph 2 means _，A.on ones own B.at no time C.at the same time D.by accident 2.All of the following are possible effects of multitasking EXCEPT_.A.saving time B.a shortened attention span C.lower grades at school D.depression and anxiety 3.Which ofthe following can be the best title of this passage?A.Media multitasking is becoming more popular B.Multitasking shrinks the brain C.Multitasking may shorten attention span D.People are worried about their memories.B The COVID-19 vaccination（接种疫苗）rate in the US has fallen to newlows in recent weeks,threatening President Joe Bidens goal of having 70 percent of American adults with at least one shot by July 4.With just less than one month from July 4,the current vaccination rate will put the US at somewhere between 67 percent and 68 percent of the adult population with at least one dose（剂量）by Independence Day.To reach 70 percent by July 4,around 1.6 percent of the population needs to get their first dose per week from now until July 4.The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention（CDC）reported last week that 63 percent of adults hadreceived their first dose of a COVID-19 vaccine.That was up slightly from 62 percent from the report a week before.The additional 1 percent of adults completing their first dose is the lowest since the CDC started tracking the vaccination rate in mid-February.On average,fewer than 1 million shots are given out per day,a decline of more than two-thirds from the peak of 3.4 million in April,The Washington Post reported.In South Carolina,about 71,000 residents got a shot in the week leading up to June 3,compared to a high of nearly 300,000 in one week in early April,according to data from the CDC.The slowdown is moreprominentacross the South and Midwest.Twelve states have seen vaccinations fall to 15 daily shots per 10,000 residents.Less than a quarter of black Americans had received their first COVID-19 shot as of June 7.James Hildreth,CEO of Meharry Medical College,told Politico,“We need to make a stronger effort to bring the vaccine to the communities,rather than relying on the communities to come to vaccination centers.”The sharp decline in vaccination began in mid-April when federal officials temporarily stopped the use of the JohnsonJohnson vaccine while they investigated rare blood-clotting（凝血）reactions.The“low-hanging fruitthosepeople who ly want to get vaccinated without you telling them anything”have already been vaccinated,which has led to the slowdown,Dr Anthony Fauci,director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases,said on a White House-organized call with community leaders last week,according to the Post.4.What can we learn from the text?A.Dr Anthony Fauci is in charge of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.B.In South Carolina,about 300,000 residents got a shot in the week leading up to June 3 C.In mid-April federal officials temporarily suspended the JohnsonJohnson vaccine.D.Less than one fourth of Americans had received their first COVID-19 shot by June 7.5.Which of the following can replace the underlined word“prominent”in Para.5?A.Meaningful.B.Obvious.C.Inspiring.D.Complex.6.How can America increase the COVID-19 vaccination rate according to James Hildreth?A.By giving the vaccine shot at the communities.B.By offering the vaccine to the public for free.C.By frequently informing the public of the vaccine.D.By urging the communities to come to vaccination centers.7.What can be the best title for the text?A.Biden wishes to have 70%of adults with one shot by July 4 B.CDC has been trackingthe vaccination rate since mid-February C.Some Americans need to get vaccinated without telling them to D.Bidens July 4th vaccine goal may be missed C Becoming famous is the dream of many,and Tian is getting closer to that dream.Tian,30,is a

course,I make the videos for fun because it is quite relaxing.”Chinas short video market has seen great growth,according to areport.The report said thatChinas short video market was valued at 5.73 billion yuan($900 million)in 2017,an increase of 184 percent.The industry value is expected to go up to the 30 billion mark in 2020.Companies like Tencent,Sohu and Iqiyi have all started providing short video content.“Short videos are popular because they are an addition to traditional audio and video content on the internet,”said Sun Jiashan with the Chinese National Academy of Arts.Fans say that the short videos help them“chill out”from a stressed-out lifestyle.“My favorite videos are all about pets,”said Zhou Na,a nurse inHefei,capital of East ChinasAnhuiprovince.“After a whole days

half of Australian homes still paying for a landline（座机）?These days youd be hard pressed to find anyone in Australia over the age of 15 who doesnt own a mobile phone.In fact plenty of younger kids have one in their pocket.Practically everyone can make and receive calls anywhere,anytime.Still,55 percent of Australians have a landline phone at home and only just over a quarter（29%）rely only on their smartphones according to a survey（调查）.Of those Australians who still have a landline,a thirdconcedethat its not really necessary and theyre keeping it as a security blanket 19 percent say they never use it while a further13 percent keep it in case of emergencies.I think my home falls into that category.More than half of Australian homes are still choosing to stick with their home phone.Age is naturally a factor（因素）only 58 percent of Generation Ys still use landlinesnow and then,compared to 84 percent of Baby Boomers whove perhaps had the same home number for 50 years.Age isnt the only factor;Id say its also to do with the makeup of your household.Generation Xers with young families,like my wife and I,can still find it convenient to have a home phone rather than providing a mobile phone for every family member.That said,to be honest the only people who ever ring our home phone are our Baby Boomers parents,to the point where we play a game and guess who iscalling before we pick up the phone（using Caller ID would take the fun out of it）.How attached are you to your landline?How long until they go the way of gas street lamps and morning milk deliveries?12.What does paragraph 2 mainly tell us about mobilephones?A.Their target users.B.Their wide popularity.C.Their major functions.D.Their complex design.13.What does the underlined word“concede”in paragraph 3

to their family.15.What can be inferred about the landline from the last paragraph?A.It remains a family necessity.B.Itwill fall out of use some day.C.It may increase daily expenses.D.It is as important as the gas light.第二节（共 5 小题；每小题 2 分，满分 10 分）阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项 Compared with the obvious environmental issues we hear about every day,littering(乱丢废物）is often taken lightly.But its more severe than we may think._16_This seems to be a completely harmless action due to the fact that if s part of a fruitright?Actually,no.A banana peel(皮）can take up to two years to decompose(分解)，and with a third of drivers admitting to littering while driving,thats a whole lot of banana peels,or much worse.An orange peel or a cigarette butt has a similar decomposing term to that of a banana.But tin and aluminium(铝）cans last up to 100 years._17_ Its true that longer-lasting materials will damage the environment and its animals for longer._18_For example,despite its fairly short decomposing term,more than 120 tons of cigarette-related litter is discarded(丢弃）in the UK every day.Besides，our annual littering,which has increased by 500 percent since the 1960s,has caused the UK*s rat population to increase by 60 million.Its not a cheap habit either:_19_So,ifs not surprising that if caught littering you could face a 20,000 fine or even jail time and,if you throw away something dangerous,the court could give you five years to serve.The punishments might seem severe._20_So we still have some way to go in making sure people follow the rules.To take back our beautiful countryside and cities we need to do more than simply not littering.We need to truly care more about the world around us.A.Banana peels are among the most frequent littered stuff.B.But fear of the environmental impact of litter is on the rise.C.Imagine throwing a banana peel out of your car while driving.D.UKtaxpayers pay 500 million in order to keep our streets clean.E.And plastic bottles last forever,as do glass bottles and plastic bags.F.However,among the reported cases only 2,000 out of 825,000 were punished.G.But we cant simply measure the seriousness of a certain type of rubbish by its lifetime.第二部分 语言运用（共两节，满分 45 分）第一节（共 20 小题；每小题 1.5 分，满分 30 分）阅读下面短文，从每题所给的 A、B、C、D 四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项 I believe in miracles because Ive seen so many of them.One day,a patient was referred to(被引荐)me
