　　【2017高考英语江西省红色六校第二次联考】B

　　It was a comfortable sunny Sunday. I was going to meet an old university friend I hadn't seen for years, and was really excited to hear all his news.

　　My train was running a little late, but that was no big problem - I could text him to say I would be delayed. He would understand. But… where was my mobile phone? I had that familiar sinking feeling. Yes, I'd forgotten it at home.

　　No mobile phone. I'm sure I'm not alone in feeling anxious, on edge and worried when I don't have my phone with me. In fact, I know I'm not alone: two-thirds of us experience ‘nomophobia’, the fear of being out of mobile phone contact.

　　That's according to a study from 2017 which surveyed 1,000 people in the UK about their relationship with mobile phones.

　　It says we check our mobile phones 34 times a day, that women are more ‘nomophobic’than men, and that 18-24 year-olds are the most likely to suffer fear of being without their mobiles: 77% of them say they are unable to be apart from their phones for more than a few minutes.

　　Do you have nomophobia ?

　　· You never turn your phone off

　　· You obsessively check for texts, missed calls and emails· You always take your phone to the bathroom with you· You never let the battery run out

　　It's funny to think that around 20 years ago the only people with mobile phones would be businessperson carrying their large, plastic ‘bricks’.

　　Of course, these days, mobile phones are everywhere. A UN study from this year said mobile phone subscriptions would outnumber people across the world by the end of 2017.

　　And when there are more phones than people in the world, maybe it's time to ask who really is in charge? Are you in control of your phone, or does your phone control you?

　　So, what happened with my university friend? When I arrived a few minutes late he just laughed and said: "You haven't changed at all – still always late!" And we had a great afternoon catching up, full of jokes and stories, with no interruptions and no nagging(唠叨的) desire to check my phone.

　　Not having it with me felt strangely liberating. Maybe I'll leave it at home on purpose next time.

　　61.What does the passage talk about ?

　　A. The history of mobiles.

　　B. The story of meeting an old university friend.

　　C. The addiction of playing mobile phone.

　　D. The terrible feeling of being without their mobiles.

　　62.The underlined phrase “ on edge ”in the third paragraph probably means_______.

　　A.

　　nervous

　　B. energetic

　　C. crazy

　　D. surprised

　　63. Which word is used to describe old mobile phones according to the passage?

　　A. digital phone

　　B. cell phone

　　C. bricks

　　D. smart phone

　　64.According to the passage, who is most likely to be addicted to mobiles ?

　　A. a successful manager

　　B. a 21-year-old girl

　　C. a 21-year-old boy

　　D. a lonely middle-aged person

　　65.What’s the author’s attitude towards the using mobiles ?

　　A. Worried

　　B. Favorable

　　C. Neutral

　　D. Critical

　　Nowadays, people in China are increasingly interested in celebrating foreign festivals, especially those western festivals.

　　A survey conducted recently by sina. com. showed that among the 18,222 people surveyed

　　63.90% said celebrating Christmas is just another way of recreation, nothing serious while 17.85% surveyed considered the festival as a fashion act, showing they were not “out”. These two parts clearly indicate the general opinion of the young. 10.45% people involved said the celebration of a religious western festival with so much enthusiasm is absolutely ridiculous pursuit of foreign goodness. Only 7.80% of people define Christmas as a kind of festival colonization(殖民).

　　The arising of celebrating foreign festivals clearly has something to do with the advancement of China’s economy. In my point view, Christmas and other festivals celebrated in China have difference from the origin. They have lost their religious background and turned into a big occasion to have fun and enjoy life. Shop owners’ pockets are filled, the public’s hunger for happiness is filled, and that is enough. Foreign festivals in China are more like carnivals giving people pleasure and enjoyment.

　　The crisis of traditional Chinese festivals that are losing their attraction may be linked to the culture tradition and background of the festivals. Most Chinese festival culture is related more or less to real life. “The country is based on its people while the people are relied on their food”.

　　But the western culture shows much of romance. Some festivals have their religious background while others have much to do with culture and people. At this point, food seems to be too plain. Flowers and chocolates are more welcomed.

　　Foreign festivals in China are celebrated for fun. They give people opportunities to relax and celebrate, to show appreciation and gratefulness. The acceptance of foreign festivals generally depends on the openness of the public, the familiarity with the western culture, and most importantly, on people’s economic status.

　　1．From the survey we know that among the people surveyed ______.

　　A．most think celebrating foreign festivals is ridiculous

　　B．many fear that traditional Chinese festivals will disappear soon

　　C．some think that celebrating foreign festivals is a sign of foreign goodness chasing

　　D．half think celebrating foreign festivals makes people not go out of fashion

　　2．The writer thinks that foreign festivals celebrated in China ______.

　　A．have lost their religious background

　　B．are the same as those celebrated in the West

　　C．can give more fun than traditional Chinese festivals

　　D．may reduce the hunger of public people

　　3．What is the main difference between foreign festivals and traditional Chinese ones?

　　A．Foreign festivals can make Chinese shop owners’ pockets full quickly.

　　B．The food at foreign festivals is too simple.

　　C．Chinese festivals always have something to do with culture.

　　D．Foreign festivals are romantic while traditional Chinese ones are connected with reality.

　　4．Which of the following may NOT be the reason why so many people accept foreign festivals?

　　A．People can relax themselves.

　　B．People can show their thanks to others.

　　C．Foreign festivals have longer histories than Chinese ones.

　　D．People have known more about the western culture.

　　Read the following reviews for movies that are showing at the moment. And then answer questions.

　　Happiness（Romance）★★★★

　　Happiness tells the story of two people （Lisa Turbot and Danny Roy）who work for different advertising companies. They talk on the phone all the time and don’t like each other. But then they correspond by email and fall in love. This movie will be very popular with teenagers and people who like romances. It also has beautiful music.

　　In Scream I, Paul（Colin Jacks）is a young man who joins a thriller club. Each of the members tries to frighten the others. Paul is told to stay in an old house for the night. Everyone who has tried to stay in the house before has died. This movie is very frightening but also quite silly. It doesn’t make sense for Paul to stay in the house when things start to go wrong. Only for people who like thrillers.

　　______________（Drama）★★★

　　This is a very good drama with Jack Ross, a hard-working truck driver. His wife becomes ill and he has to find a doctor who can help her. In his travels he meets Dr. Lloyd（Phil Driver）who has found the cure for the illness, but Jack Ross has only twelve hours to get the medicine back to his wife on the other side of America.
