practicaladvice.The affectionate phrase“You made my life better from the moment you were born*maybe rarely heard,but there is the more common Ill hold the ladder while you get the leaves offthe roof.1Why cant we fathers just say I love you or Ifs great to see you?The point is：That1 sexactly what we are saying.You just have to translate from the language that isFatherlish.Listen closely

suspect its due to anti-drug campaigns or the decline of cigarettes as a gatewaydrug.But another theory has begun to surface.Is a new drug replacing the old ones?Are smartphones taking their place?I noticed that using my smart phone took away so many life experiences.!hadnt minded beforewhen my own phone could distract me,but now I felt annoyed when my friends or family usedtheir phones when we were together.Sure it was uncomfortable at first,not having a clutch（紧握）to fall back on when I didnt feel like talking.But we shouldnt use our devices as theuniversal conversation avoider,or as our distraction from the discomfort of humaninteraction.How can we leam to interact when our phones are on hand at all times to preventourselves from doing so?Still,smart phones can sometimes be wonderful tools.They allow us to take beautiful photosand help us connect with old friends and maintain long-distance relationships.They allow us tohave an endless amount of information at our fingertips,and give us directions to whateverdestinations.But we must consider how every tool smart phones provide us with can alsoinfluence our lives.Not only does smart phone and screen use have an effect on relationships,itcan also shape an individual and the brain.Studies have shown that excessive Internet usage cancause increased depression,loneliness,and anxiety in adolescents.So my advice to teens who feel the same way as I do?My decision to go without a phone wasdefinitely extreme,considering our generation.So try your phone for a week.Observe how itaffects your relationships,your mood,and

information.11.What does the underlined word ditching in the last paragraph probably mean?A.Giving up.B.Giving away.C.Turning down.D.Turning back.DToo much light at night can cut the number of seeds a plant makes,a new studyfinds.Researchers put up street lights in Swiss meadows,far from any real streets.The setup wasbuilt similarly to urban light pollution.In these now-light-polluted fields,flowers had 62 percentfewer night visitors-insect pollinators-than did the flowers in dark meadows.The researchers reported a cabbage thistle bloom hosts a guest insect after dark.Cabbagethistles are the most common flowers in these meadows.Fewer insect visitors at night could第4 页，共 20页mean less pollen pollinated from plant to plant(the first step in making seeds).For thethistles,daytime pollinator visits didnt make up for this loss at night,says Eva Knop,anecologist at the University of Bern in Switzerland.Overall,night-lit plants produced one-eighthfewer seeds than did plants that got full nights of darkness.Light pollution might affect a whole network of plants and their pollinators,Knop and hercolleagues now suggest.Indeed,night pollination was notjust a lonely business for a few specialplants.There were lots of links between pollen hauls by night and by day.Plants with a lot ofnight visits were often very busy by day,too.Light at night that decreases seed numbers couldover time mean fewer new plants.And fewer plants could mean less food and shelter fordaytime insects.So a lot of pollinators working the day and night shifts could be affected,Knopworries.The new study is the first to show how artificial light affects plants ability to make seeds.Thetest is also unusual because it considers all kinds of insect pollinators instead of focusing onlyon night-flying insects.The researchers paid special attention to the cabbage thistle,but theyalso mapped which kinds of insects visited other plants by day or night.12.Why were street lights put up in the meadows?A.For scientific research.B.For urban development.C.To reduce light pollution.D.To attract insect pollinators.13.What can be learned about cabbage thistles?A.They are the most common Swiss flowers.B.They rely on insects to help make seeds.C.They grow slowly during the night.D.They attract only night visitors.14.How does light pollution affect pollinators?A.By releasing harmful rays.B.By damaging their sight.C.By cutting seed numbers.D.By destroying their shelter.15.What can be a suitable title for the text?A.Night-flying insects matter more than daytime ones.B.Light pollution may affect plants more than expectedC.Researchers found ways to protect the environment.D.Plants attract more insects due to light pollution.二、阅读七选五(本大题共5 小题，共 12.5分)Real life Room Escape
