You feel upset if your

11、 phone is getting low on power, and you secretly worry things will go wrong at work if youre not there. All these can be called “always on” stress caused by smartphone addiction.For some people, smartphones have freed them from the nine-to-five work. Flexible working has given them more autonomy（自主权

12、）in their working lives and enabled them to spend more time with their friends and families. For many others though, smartphones have become tyrants（暴君）in their pockets, never allowing them to turn them off, relax and recharge their batteries.Pittsburgh-based developer Kevin Holesh was worried about

13、 how much he was ignoring his family and friends in favor of his iPhone. So he developed an app-Moment-to monitor his usage. The app enables users to see how much time theyre spending on the device and set up warnings if the usage limits are breached（突破）.” Moments goal is to promote balance in your

14、life,” his website explains. “Some time on your phone, some time off it enjoying your loving family and friends around you.”Dr Christine Grant, an occupational psychologist at Coventry University, said, “The effects of this always on culture are that your mind is never resting, and youre not giving

15、your body time to recover, so youre always stressed. And the more tired and stressed we get, the more mistakes we make. Physical and mental health can suffer.”And as the number of connected smartphones is increasing, so is the amount of data. This is leading to a sort of decision paralysis（瘫痪）and is

16、 creating more stress in the workplace because people have to receive a broader range of data and communications which are often difficult to manage. “It actually makes it more difficult to make decisions and many do less because theyre controlled by it all and feel they can never escape the office,

17、” said Dr Christine Grant.21. Whats the first paragraph mainly about?A. The popularity of smartphones. B. The signs of “always on” stressC. The progress of modern technology. D. The cause of smartphone addiction22. Kevin Holesh developed Moment to _.A. research how people use their mobile phonesB. m

19、data means _.A. we can make a decision more quickly B. we will become less productive C. we will be equipped with more knowledge D. we can work more effectivelyBClimate change could turn the Arctic Ocean into a high-speed ice superhighway. Large pieces of sea ice in the Arctic are becoming thinner a

20、s old ice melts. The new ice thats replacing it travels farther and faster than the older ice had. As the new ice travels, it carries dirt, organisms and pollution along for the ride, new research shows.Researchers have been tracking the movements of the Arctic ice for several years. They noticed th

21、at the area covered by ice making the trip from one side of ocean to the other has grown larger and larger. That movement means that far-away reaches of the Arctic are becoming more connected, notes Robert Newton, from Columbia University.The speedy ice is a problem, he explains. “The ice in the Arc

22、tic is surprisingly polluted,” he said. “When the ice travels from one part of the Arctic to the other, it carries all that material with it.”Winds sweep airborne pollution north from lower latitudes. Much of that pollution can settle into the ocean and onto sea ice. Industries along Arctic coastlin

23、es, such as gold mining and oil drilling, also can pollute the regions waters. As new ice forms in the fall and winter, that pollution gets trapped inside the ice. When that ice then melts in the spring and summer, itll bring the pollution it carried back into the ocean.In the study, the researchers

24、 put together pictures of the Arctic. The pictures came from satellites far above the surface. They used computer software that can recognize the edges of sea ice. This allowed them to follow the movements of the ice from formation to melting. To help them do that, they also included tracking buoys(

25、浮标)on the ice that had been equipped with GPS devices.About 60% of the Arctic ice travels less than 100 kilometers from its birthplace, they found. The rest covers an area equal to tens of thousands of square kilometers. It can travel hundreds or even thousands of kilometers. And that ice is moving

26、faster as well.25.What does the text focus on?A. The Arctic ice travels fast and carries pollution.B. Climate change is becoming more seriousC. Its difficult to follow the movements of the ice.D. The Arctic is likely to be covered by the ice.26.Robert Newton considers the speedy ice to be a problem

Collecting pictures through satellites.C The North and South poles are remote and freezing places that receiv

29、e lots of animal visitors but few human tourists. But 2007 marked the beginning of the International Polar Year (IPY), a two-year-old activity of science projects that aimed to show how important the poles are to the health of our planet. During the IPY, which lasted until March 2009, thousands of r

30、esearchers from more than 60 countries conducted more than 200 projects and expeditions to both the top and bottom of the world. In recent years, the polar regions have begun to change severely as a result of global warming. Temperatures there are rising faster than anywhere else on Earth. As a resu

31、lt, the ice and snow in these regions are melting at record-setting rates. One result is that sea levels are rising around the world, putting animals and people at risk. Only by studying the poles, say IPY researchers, can we find ways to protect them and ourselves. Both the Arctic and the Antarctic

32、 are cold and remote, but the two regions have important differences. For one thing, the Arctic is an ice-covered ocean surrounded by land. The Antarctic, on the other hand, is a continent of ice-covered land surrounded by water.Most polar studies have focused on the Arctic, and that is where scientists have observed the most remarkable changes in the ice. During a typical year, Arctic ice expands in the winter a
