One of our challenges is the capability within literacy(读写能力) and it is clear that the gift is there, its only a matter of exploring it so Im very impressed and also grateful to her parents for encouraging her to take this very important step of publishing,” said Jeffrey Lloyd, Minister of Education during a one-on-one sit down and conversation. The young author caught media attention last year after publishing her first book on Amazon. The newest and independently published childrens book “Roman and the Pink Flamingos” is inspired by Sierras three-year-old brother, Roman.“Its frightening to bring something to the public that youve put a lot of work into and someone could very easily tear it apart or tease me, Its not good enough. Although I have my family and others in my corner, to meet persons in power and get a positive feedback from them makes me feel like Im on the right path,” said Sierra.During the conversation, the governor general Dame Pindling asked about the book and creative process involved(涉及) in bringing the series to life. She urged Sierra to not only write childrens fiction but to one day work deeper into the fabric (结构) of the nation, documenting what she observed. “She encouraged me in my creative pursuits and praised me for being independent in my professional development. I deeply enjoyed our conversation,” said Sierra.Sierra wasnt the only one to be moved by the visit.24. What drove Sierra to write her latest book?A. Her gift for literacy.B. Attention from the media.C. Her little brother Roman.D. Her parents encouragement.25. Why did Sierra feel afraid to bring something to the public?A. Because others might laugh at her.B. Because she felt on the wrong way.C. Because her family did not support her.D. Because her book was not good enough.26. Which of the following can best describe Sierra?A. Creative and inspiring.B. Independent and polite.C. Determined and practical.D. Ambitious and sensitive.27. What would the author probably write in the paragraph that follows?A. Visit from another journalist.B. Stories behind Sierras books.C. Sierras another popular book.D. Comments from another person.CThe majority of people on this planet live through ego(自我意识). They feel that they are themselves special, apart from the crowd in some way. Also, they arent willing to acknowledge other peoples special-ness, and feel that they are threatened by the people who are different from them.Besides, there are many different exclusive clubs which people join under certain conditions, like Colour of skin clubs, Sports clubs, and so on. What many people fail to acknowledge, however, is that there is in fact only one club The Human Being club.Our diversity is what makes life interesting. I love watching people who dance or create music beautifully, draw out emotions through their acting skills, or are accomplished athletes. I also understand myself well enough to know that I dont have enough passion for any of these things to make the sacrifices necessary to come close to their level of excellence.I believe that it is human nature to communicate and cooperate with people who are like us, but what a lot of people see as like us is narrowed down to very superficial(表面) characteristics. I remember my Jamaican friends sister being most put out. She had been the only black woman in her company and then another black woman was employed. They were automatically put to work together because they were both black and obviously had a lot in common - so thought the employer! The truth was that they had nothing in common, didnt come from the same country and actively disliked each other. Its always a mistake to assume anything on a purely superficial basis.I have many friends who are members of a variety of the above mentioned clubs and each one of them has taught me so much about different cultures and life styles, and has enriched my life in the process. I encourage anyone to strike up a conversation with someone who doesnt look like them - you might be surprised at exactly how much you have in common.28. According to the first two paragraphs people tend to _.A. feel they are specialB. feel they are lack of egoC. admit others are specialD. admit only one club exist29. How is the Paragraph 3 mainly developed?A. By analyzing causes.B. By setting an example.C. By giving a description.D. By making comparisons.30. The author mentioned his Jamaican friends sister to show _.A. black women have a lot in common indeedB. it is human nature to cooperate with peopleC. people understand “like us” in a narrow wayD. people often make mistakes in judging others31. What does the author advise people to do in the last paragraph?A. To enrich their own life.B. To join an exclusive club.C. To talk to different people.D. To experience different life.DWe know that our smartphones are expertly-designed distraction devices that weaken our efforts to resist. But, we also know that resistance is important if were ever going to find a workable middle ground with our phones and a recent has served up another reason to strengthen our resolve.Here it is:when you pick up your phone while doing anything mentally challenging, youre handicapping your brains ability to recharge and performance predictably decreases.Thats the conclusion of a study that put roughly 400 college students to task solving challenging word puzzles. When they were about halfway through, the researchers allowed most of the students to take a break either using their phones, using a computer or reading a print circular. Other students were told to just keep on working without any sort of break.The results showed that the students who took a break with their phones were the worst performers of all the groups. They took 19% longer to finish the tasks and they solved 22% fewer word-problems than all the other groups combined. In fact, the cell-phone groups efficiency and processing speed was about the same as the group that took no break.The reason offered by the researchers isnt merely because digital devices are inherently engaging(迷人的), but becauseour smartphones are attention gates into so many other attention-catching areas, each pulling our mental energy in different directions.This research stresses that we ignored the energy reduction from using our smartphones, and that we were over-confident about what our brains can handle.We also overlooked the emotional connection wed developed with our phones.Its no longer just a device. Its a companion.“It is important to know the costs associated with reaching for this device during every spare minute,” Kurtzberg added. “We assume its no different from any other break but the phone may carry increasing levels of distraction that make it difficult to return focused attention to work tasks.”32. What does “resolve” in Paragraph 1 refer to?A. Finding a workable phone.B. Resisting using phones.C. Making full use of phones.D. Upgrading personal phones.33. The underlined word “handicapping” in Paragraph 2 probably means _.A. strengtheningB. performingC. weakeningD. changing34. What can we learn from the research?A. There are two groups of students in the research.B. All the students can not take a break in the research.C. The cell-phone group did best in solving the puzzles.D. Students have to complete word puzzles before the break.35. Whats the main idea of the Paragraph 6?A. The phone is no longer favored by people.B. The phone is not as powerful as expected.C. People cannot connect emotionally with phones.D. People didnt fully understand the effect of phones.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。选项中有两项为多余选项。Self-care activities can help you cope with stress and improve overall well-being. 36 .
