As we initially considered i
22、t,it seemed crazy. Would we even make it a week without going mad? Living room,kitchen,office,dining room,all in one small four-walled space. There were a number of other potential options. We could move out into the suburbs Like most people do in our extraordinarily expensive city and have a small
23、yard may be even a basement. But there was something about this neattinyhome that aroused our interest,which challenged us. We like to live differently from the crowd,to avoid what everyone else is doingjust becauseeveryone else is. Lets try it for six months. If it makes us crazy,well move. We can
24、do anything for 6 months, my husband said. It was challenging squeezing into the space at first,but then something caught us by surprise. We started having a ton of fun with our tiny space. In the past,sometimes we had quite different ideas about which art or decorating style we found appealing. But
25、 here,in this tiny space,we found ourselves having a ton of fun exploring possible options. Theres no room for clutter(凌乱的东西）either. This is a gift! Its been 8 months,and were staying. Perhaps forever. When a space is this small,you dont need to spend much in furnishing it,and you cant keep endlessl
26、y buying things.Theres nowhere to put them! This leaves us more financial resources and more time to go out into the much bigger world and enjoy life. For us,living in atinyhome has filled us with a feeling of abundance. Its so much better than feeling weighed down,paying for a big space and more an

30、ants can see,hear,smell and communicate with chemicals. Now, reported New Scientist,they have been recorded making sounds when stressed. In a yet-to-be-published study, Itzhak Khait and his team at Tel Aviv University,in Israel, found that tomato and tobacco plants can make ultrasonic(超声的）noises.The
31、 plantscry outdue to lack of water,or when their stems(茎）are cut. Its just too high-pitched(音调高的） for humans to hear. Microphones placed 10 centimeters away from the plants picked up sounds in the ultrasonic range of 20 to 100 kilohertz(千赫兹）。 Human hearing usually ranges from 20 hertz to 20 kilohert
32、z. These findings can alter the way we think about the plant king-dom, they wrote. On average, thirstytomato plants made 35 sounds an hour,while tobacco plants made 11. When plant stems were cut,tomato plants made an average of 25 sounds in the following hour,and tobacco plants 15. Unstressed plants
33、 produced fewer than one sound per hour,on average. Perhaps most interestingly,different types of stress led to different sounds. The researchers trained a machine-learning model to separate the plants sounds from those of the wind,rain and other noises of the greenhouse. In most cases,it correctly
34、identified whether the stress was caused by dryness or a cut,based on a sounds intensity and frequency. Water-hungry tobacco appears to make louder sounds than cut tobacco,for example. Although Khait and his colleagues only looked at tomato and tobacco plants,they think other plants also make sounds
35、 when stressed. If farmers could hear these sounds,said the team,they could give water to the plants that need it most. As climate change causes more droughts,they said this would be important information for farmers. The sounds that drought-stressed plants make could be used in precision agricultur
36、e(精 准农业）， said Anne Visscher at the Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew,in the UK. Khaits report also suggests that insects and mammals can hear the sounds up to 5 meters away and respond. For example,a moth(蛾子）may decide not to lay eggs on a water-stressed plant. Edward Farmer,at the University of Lausanne,
37、 Switzerland,is doubtful. He said that the idea of moths listening to plants isa little too speculative. If plants are screaming for fear of their survival,should we be thankful we cant hear them? 28. What did Khait and his team find from their research? A. Plants made low-pitched sounds when in dan
38、ger. B. Plants were able to produce sounds in response to stresses. C. Plants picked up a wider range of sounds when stressed. D. Plants made ultrasonic noises to communicate with each other. 29. How did tomato and tobacco plants react to different stresses according to the text? A. A plant reacted
39、to different stresses with the same sound. B. Cut tomato plants produced more sounds per hour than water-hungry ones. C. Cut tobacco plants seemed to make weaker sounds than drought-stressed ones. D. Tobacco plants might make louder sounds than tomato plants when short of water. 30. Whats the main i
40、dea of Paragraph 6? A. The potential applications of the research. B. Challenges facing farmers in the future. C. Farmers contributions to the research. D. What the future agriculture will be like. 31. The underlined wordspeculativein the second-to-last paragraph has the closest meaning to“_ _”。 A.p
41、ractical B.unsuspected C.unsupported D. complicated D Although there is growing research into the negative effect that screen-based technology can have on well-being(健康），the trick technology companies have somehow played is that they have made it our problem,not theirs. For example,it is ridiculous
42、that we blame young people for b eing addicted to their apps when the simple truth is that they are designed to be addictive. In the w orld of apps,addiction is what brings in money. Whether you run a video service,a news site or a mobile game,certainly your product will have an effect on the mental
43、 health of your users-negative or positive. But the sad reality is that if you are not optimizing that effect,it tends to be former. The reason why so much technology doesnt su pport well-being was no a consideration in its design. An important area for improvement is notifications(通知）。 Notification
44、s area great example of a feature thats great for the product but bad for the users,since not only do they make us less focused but they also cause anxiety about the things weve missed,a symptom of addiction. There is very little good about an inbox icon(收件箱图标）showing a bright red circle with a high
45、 number on it. Notifications can be made friendlier by not showing them in real time. One idea is to show the level of unread messages through the weight of the app name. So if you had lots of emails,your Mail app would be very bold(粗体的），but if you didnt have any,it would be lighter. In this way,les
46、s attention will be required. Though it sounds challenging,finally money will talk. It is possible to make changes to products that dont damage their primary income models. Changes could be made that help us feel better about ourselves. When a company becomes more well-being-positive,they add a comp
47、etitive difference and become more attractive. 32. What can be concluded from the first paragraph? A. Young people can be tricked easily. B. Screen-based technology is negative. B. The addiction problem cant be solved. D. Tech companies are to blame for addiction. 33. If the users dont improve the e
48、ffect on well-being,it tends to be _ A.indifferent B.optimistic C.pessimistic D.interesting 34. How can the apps reduce the negative effects according to the author? A. By removing the inbox icon. B. By limiting peoples screen time. C. By making notifications less eye-catching. D. By informing the u
49、sers of messages in no time. 35. What does the author think of well-being-positive companies? A. They will enjoy the benefit finally. B. They will have an uncertain future. C. They will do good to the minority. D. They will change income models. 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。 Smartwatches and fitness trackers(健身追踪器）have gained popularity recently.These tools can record your daily steps,heart rates,etc. 36 If yes,it might be a sign that youre addict ed to your fitness tracker. 37 If you keep setting unrealistic daily goals that invol
