Have you ever run into a careless cell phone user on the street? Maybe they were busy talking, texting or checking updates on We Chat 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 namephubbers (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 (身份)bury themselves in their phones. A doctor plays with his cell phone while letting his patient die, a pretty woman takes a selfie (自拍) 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 finally leads to the destruction of the world.Although the ending of the film sounds unrealistic, the damage phubbing can bring is real. Your health is the first to bear the effect and result of it. “Always bending your head to check your cell phone could damage your neck, ” Guangming Daily quoted doctors words. “The neck is like a rope that breaks after long-term stretching.” Also, staring at cell phones for a long 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. When getting together with family or friends, many people prefer to play 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 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.28. Why does the author give the example of a cartoon in Paragraph 2?A. To suggest phubbers will destroy the worldB. To tell people of the bad effects of phubbingC. To call for people to go walking without phonesD. To advise students to create more cartoons like this29. According to the passage, what risks may a phubber have?Destructing the worldAffecting his social skillsDamaging his neck and eyesightGetting separated from his and familyA. B. C. D. 30. Whats the authors attitude towards phubbing?A. SupportiveB. ConfidentC. DisapprovingD. Optimistic31. What will be talked about in the following paragraph?A. Ways to avoid the risks of phubbingB. Bad effects of puddingC. Daily life of phubbersD. Methods of phubbingDHave you ever done something that was really dangerous just because you thought it was safe？Maybe you did a dangerous trick on your bicycle or skateboard because you were wearing a helmet and thought you couldnt get hurt. The psychology(心理) of this sort of behavior is called the Peltzman Effect, named after Sam Peltzman, professor of economics at the University of Chicago. Peltzman believes that those moments when people think they are the safest are the times when they act most dangerously.Peltzman said that people drove more dangerously when they wore seat belts. Driving a large four-wheel drive vehicle has a similar effect on drivers behavior. Because drivers of large vehicles sit up higher and can see better, they feel they can make better judgments when they drive. They are better protected in accidents, so they act more dangerously. This makes driving more hazardous to other drivers.The Peltzman Effect isnt just limited to driving. In 1972, the American Food and Drug Administration(FDA) passed a law requiring child safety caps on most medicine bottles. The safety caps were designed to prevent children from accidentally taking the medicine, especially painkillers such as aspirin. Requiring safety caps sounded like a great idea, but there was an unexpected side effect. Because the safety caps are so hard to take off, some people leave them off altogether. Worse, some parents leave the bottles where kids can reach them because they feel that it is safe because of the cap. A study on the Peltzman Effect showed that more than 3,500 children have been harmed by aspirin because of the safety caps.The Peltzman Effect describes how were likely to take more risks and act more dangerously when we feel safest. Whats more, the effects of these behaviors can be quite different from what we expect.32. What is the Peltzman Effect？A. People behave less safely when they feel safe.B. People feel safest when they are under protection.C. Something that seems dangerous turns out to be safe.D. People who act dangerously are likely to be together.33. What does the underlined word “hazardous” in Paragraph 2 mean?A. Interesting.B. Expensive.C. Dangerous. D. Important.34. Why do some people leave the safety caps of medicine bottles open?A. The caps dont work at all.B. The caps cant be opened easily.C. The bottles are out of the reach of the children.D. The bottles without caps are less attractive to kids.35. What would be the best title for the text?A. Different Behaviors of People in DangerB. Types of Decision MakingC. Peoples Fear of Taking RisksD. Unsafe Safety Measure第二节 (共5小题；每小题1分，满分5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。How to prepare for exams?Here are some tips you can read with your child.The first step in preparing for examinations is to set a fixed time each day to study and a schedule to say when to start the revision and for which subject.
