Perhaps they were busy talking, texting or checking updates on WeChat without looking at what was going on around them. As the number of this new “species” of human has kept rising, they have been given a new name phubbers（低头族）.Recently, a cartoon created by students from China Central Academy of Fine Arts put this group of people under the spotlight. In the short film, phubbers with various social identities bury themselves in their phones. A doctor plays with his cell phone while letting his patient die, a pretty woman takes selfie（自拍照）in front of a car accident site, and a father loses his child without knowing about it while using his mobile phone. A chain of similar events eventually leads to the destruction of the world.Although the ending sounds overstated, the damage phubbing can bring is real. Your health is the first to bear the effect and result of it. “Constantly bending your head to check your cell phone could damage your neck,” Guangming Daily quoted doctors as saying. “the neck is like a rope that breaks after long-term stretching.” Also, staring at cell phones for long periods of time will damage your eyesight gradually, according to the report.But thats not all. Being a phubber could also damage your social skills and drive you away from your friends and family. At reunions with family or friends, many people tend to stick to their cell phones while others are chatting happily with each other and this creates a strange atmosphere, Qilu Evening News reported.It can also cost you your life. There have been lots of reports on phubbers who fell to their death, suffered accidents, and were robbed of their cell phones in broad daylight.1. For what purpose does the author give the example of a cartoon in Paragragh2?A. To inform people of the bad effects of phubbing.B. To advertise the cartoon made by students.C.

His social skills could be affected.B. His neck and eyesight will be gradually harmed.C. He will cause the destruction of the world.D. He might get separated from his friends and family.6. What may the passage talk about next?A. Advice on how to use a cell phone. B. People who are addicted to phubbing.C. The possible consequences of phubbing. D. Measures to reduce the risks of phubbing.CArt museums are places where people can learn about various cultures. The increasingly popular “design museums” that are opening today, however, perform quite a different role. Unlike most art museums, the design museums show objects that are easily found by the general public. These museums sometimes even place things like fridges and washing machines in the centre of the hall.People have argued that design museums are often made use of as advertisements for new industrial technology. But their role is not simply a matter of sales its the honouring of excellently invented products. The difference between the window of a department store and the showcase(玻璃陈列柜) in a design museum is that the first tries to sell you something, while the second tells you the success of a sale.One advantage of design museums is that they are places where people feel familiar with the exhibits. Unlike the average art museum visitors, design museum visitors seldom feel frightened or puzzled. This is partly because design museums clearly show how and why mass-produced products work and look as they do, and how design has improved the quality of our lives.Art museum exhibits, on the other hand, would most probably fill visitors with a feeling that there is something beyond their understanding.In recent years, several new design museums have opened their doors. Each of these museums has tried to satisfy the publics growing interest in the field with new ideas. Londons Design Museum, for example, shows a collection of mass-produced objects from Zippo lighters to electric typewriters to a group of Italian fish-tins.The choices open to design museums seem far less strict than those to art museums, and visitors may also sense the humorous part of our society while walking around the exhibits.1. Showcases in design museums are different from store windows because they_.A. show more technologically advanced products B. help increase the sales of productsC. show why the products have sold wellD. attract more people than store windows do8. The author believes that most design museum visitors _.A. do not like mass-produced products B. are puzzled with technological exhibitsC. dislike exhibits in art museums D. know the exhibits very well9. The choices open to design museums _.A. are not as strict as those to art museums B. are not aimed at interesting the publicC. may fail to bring some pleasure to visitors D. may fail to attract more visitors10. What is the best title for this passage？A. The forms of design museums. B. The exhibits of design museums.C. The nature of design museums. D. The choices open to design museums. （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。选项中有两项为多余选项。In the spring and summer months, thunderstorms are mon. 11 In thunderstorms, lightningcan strike (击中) people and buildings and is very dangerous.
