than 1,300 adults over 2 years, found that those who consistently used a mobile phone throughout the study period were more likely to report negative “spillover” between work and home lifeand，in turn，less satisfaction with their family life.spillover essentially(本质上)means that the line between work and home begins to become unclear. work life may invade home life when a parent is taking jobrelated calls at home，for instanceor family issues may start to take up work time. for example，a child may call mum at work，telling her “microwave exploded”，explained noelle chesley，an assistant professor of sociology at the university of wisconsinmilwaukee and the author of the study. the problem with cell phones seems to be that they are allowing for even more spillover between work and home.this may be especially true for working women，the study found. among men，consistent use of mobile phones seemed to allow more work issues to creep (潜入)into family time. but for women，the spillover tended to go in both directions. being “connected” meant that work cut into home time，and family issues came into work life.cell phones seem to be opening more lines for stressful exchanges among family members. but there may be ways to control the spillover，according to chesley. employers, she said，could look at their policies on contacting employees after hours to make sure their expectations are “reasonable”for their part，employees could decide that cell phones go off during family time, chesley said.67what does the underlined phrase “take a toll on” probably mean in paragraph 1?aexplaining. bfounding. c. extending ddamaging.68according to chesley，what is the best solution to the problem caused by cell phones?aseparate work hours from family time.b. refuse to use cell phones.c. ignore coming calls during family time.d. encourage women to stay at home.69we can learn from the passage that _.acell phones affect men as much as womenbcell phones seem to be convenient to familiesccell phones make the line between work and home unclear dwe can do nothing to solve the problem70what is the main idea of the passage?ahow to control the negative spillover caused by cell phones.b. how work life invades home life.c. consistent use of cell phones makes people feel less satisfied with their work.d. cell phones cause negative “spillover” between work life and home life. 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。选项中的两项为多途选项。empathylast year, researchers from the university of michigan reported that empathy, the ability to understand other people, among college students had dropped sharply over the past 10 years. _71_ today, people spend more time alone and are less likely to join groups and clubs.jennifer freed, a co-director of a teen program, has another explanation. turn on the tv, and youre showered with news and reality shows full of people fighting, competing, and generally treating one another with no respect. _72_there are good reasons not to follow those bad examples. humans are socially related by nature. _73_ researchers have also found that empathetic teenagers are more likely to have high self-respect. besides, empathy can be a cure for loneliness, sadness, anxiety, and fear.empathy is also an indication of a good leader. in fact, freed says, many top companies report that empathy is one of the most important things they look for in new managers. _74_ “academics are important. but if you dont have emotional intelligence, you wont be as successful in work or in your love life,” she says.whats the best way to up your eq (情商）? for starters, let down your guard and really listen to others. _75_to really develop empathy, youd better volunteer at a nursing home or a hospital, join a club or a team that has a diverse membership, have a “sharing circle” with your family, or spend time caring for pets at an animal shelter.a. everyone is different, and levels of empathy differ from person to person.b. having relationships with other people is an important part of being humanand having empathy is decisive to those relationships.c. humans learn by exampleand most of the examples on it are anything but empathetic.d. “one doesnt develop empathy by having a lot of opinions and doing a lot of talking,” freed says.e. empathy is a matter of learning how to understand someone elseboth what they think and how they feel.f. good social skillsincluding empathyare a kind of “emotional intelligence” that will help you succeed in many areas of life.g. that could be because so many people have replaced face time with screen time, the researchers said.第ii卷 非选择题（共35分）第四部分: 写作(共两节, 满分35分)第一节：短文改错 (共10分,每小题1分,满分10分) 该文中共有十处错误,每句中最多有两处,错误涉及一个单词的增加、删除或修改。增加：在缺词处加一个漏字符号(),
