12、hen I was growing up, I had an old neighbor named Doctor Gibbs. He didnt look like any doctor Id ever known. He never yelled at us for playing in his yard, but was always very kind.When Doctor Gibbs wasnt saving lives, he was planting trees. He had some interesting theories about planting trees. He

13、believed in the principle: No pain, no gain. He hardly watered his new trees, which flew in the face of conventional wisdom. Once I asked why and he told me that watering plants spoiled them because it made them grow weaker. He said you had to make things tough for the trees so that only the stronge

14、st could survive. He talked about how watering trees made them develop shallow roots and how, if they were not watered, trees would grow deep roots in search of water. So, instead of watering his trees every morning, hed beat them with a rolled-up newspaper. I asked him why he did that, and he said

15、it was to get the trees attention.Doctor Gibbs died a couple of years after I left home. Every now and then, I walked by his house and looked at the trees that Id watched him plant some twenty five years ago. They were all tall and strong.I planted a couple of trees myself a few years ago. Two years

16、 of attending these trees meant they grew up weak. Whenever a cold wind blew, their branches trembled. Adversity(逆境) seemed to benefit Doctor Gibbs trees in ways comfort and ease never could.Every night before I go to bed, I check on my two sons. I often pray that their lives will be easy. But latel

17、y Ive been thinking that its time to change my prayer. I know my children are going to meet with hardship. Theres always a cold wind blowing somewhere.

28、brary is located in Bexar County, Texas, in the United States. Bexar Countys so-called Biblio Tech is a low-cost project with big ambitions. Its first branch is in a relatively poor district on the south side of the city of San Antonio. It has 100 e-readers on loan, and dozens of screens where the p

29、ublic are able to browse (瀏覽), study, and learn digital skills. It is a truly bookless library although that is not a phrase much to the liking of BiblioTechs project co-ordinator, Laura Cole. She prefers the description “digital library” after all, there are books there, but in digital form. Christ

30、opher Platt, director of collections and circulation at the New York Public Library, argued that accessing a digital version of a book was not enough. “People travel from all over the world to our library, not just to access an item, but to touch it and feel it in order to get a sense of the overall

31、 importance of the work,” he said.英語試卷 第7頁(共14頁) 英語試卷 第8頁(共14頁) But “bookless” does not mean “cheap”. Publishers charge libraries up to five times the normal hardback (精裝本) price for an e-book of a popular title, Christopher Platt said. And certain types of e-books simply do not work as well as prin

32、ted books, especially when some library e-readers are still text-only. This was just one of many reasons, he felt, that bookless libraries would not be sweeping the board just yet. Childrens author Alan Gibbons is a firm believer in the role of libraries, especially school libraries. Working in inte

33、rnational schools in China and Thailand, Mr. Gibbons noted that even in the best schools where every child was given an iPad, the school library, stocked with real books, was seen as an important resource. Christopher Platt at the New York Public Library has another view on the bookless future: “Its

34、 still early. Weve spent 100 years getting the print stuff right, so it could be a while before we get the e-stuff right.”28. What can we learn about the paperless public library in Texas?A. It was built in a rich district.B. People can develop digital skills there.C. It cost a large sum of money. D

35、. Its the worlds biggest library.29. By saying “bookless does not mean cheap”, Christopher Platt means that _.A. travelling to the library costs foreign readers a lotB. e-readers are very expensiveC. readers must pay to read in the digital libraryD. e-books are more expensive than printed ones30. Th

36、e underlined phrase “sweeping the board” in Paragraph 5 probably means _.A. fading out B. leaving quicklyC. becoming successful D. coming soon31. Which of the following might Alan Gibbons agree with?A. School libraries with printed books wont disappear.B. Asian children like printed books.C. Asian c

37、hildren like electronic products.D. Printed books in school libraries need improving.DYou 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.

38、All these can be called “always on” stress caused by smartphone addiction. For some people, smartphones have liberated them from the nine-to-five work. Flexible working has given them more autonomy(自主權(quán)) in their working lives and enabled them to spend more time with their friends and families. For m

39、any others though, smartphones have become tyrants (暴君) in their pockets, never allowing them to turn them off, relax and recharge their batteries. Pittsburgh-based developer Kevin Holesh was worried about how much he was ignoring his family and friends in favour of his iPhone. So he developed an ap

40、p 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 breached (突破). “Moments goal is to promote balance in your life,” his website explains. “Some time on your phone, some time off it enjoying your loving

41、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,

42、 the more mistakes we make. Physical and mental health can suffer.” And as the number of connected smartphones is increasing, so is the amount of data. This is leading to a sort of decision paralysis (癱瘓) and is creating more stress in the workplace because people have to receive a broader range of

43、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.32. Whats the first paragraph mainly about? A. The popularity o

44、f smartphones.B. The progress of modern technology.C. The signs of “always on” stress.D. The cause of smartphone addiction.33.

47、ok a plane ticket far in advance to save money.This myth may have been true back in the 1960s, when flights were less common than they are today. Back then, the demand for a flight would naturally increase as the date approached, there being few other options. 37 According to recent studies, the bes
