24、 I.simply J.socially K.switched Apps that can help you monitor the time you spend online are already available,but people with a tech addiction need more help than they provide.With his patients who are tech addicts,Dr Richard Graham,head of Technology Addiction Service of the Nightingale Hospital i
25、n London,usually starts with a 72-hour tech detox(排毒),which involves _31_ tech abstinence(节制).This can be quite difficult as few of us can actually live without technology for very long,so the next step in the process is to _32_ it,but in a controlled way.The detox can have a powerful impact,Graham
26、has found.Since he started his tech-addiction service 第3页（共14页）第 4页（共14页）in 2010,hes found that if parents _33_ take their tech-addicted child away for a weekend or a long holiday,without also taking any devices along on the trip,the results can be profound.After 72 hours or perhaps a week without t
27、ech and with more sleep,and reduced social anxiety many patients find they can let go of their fears of missing out.This allows them to take a more _34_ view of the importance of their devices in their lives,Graham says.After the detox,the gadgets will eventually be _35_ on again.And then the notifi
28、cations will start up,demanding instant action and attention.“But in the fight of man versus machine,I think being able to put your smartphone down for a few days and just get a sense of what its actually like to feel different again is really helpful,”Graham stresses.The next step is to be much mor
29、e aware about ones tech use,and to _36_ the things in life that are truly rewarding,rather than giving in to that instant,temporary“_37_.”An approach thats been found to work well in treating depression can be helpful here,Graham says.People who are depressed become more _38_ isolated and do less of
30、 the things that make them feel good,whether thats mountain biking or cooking.If you can _39_ in more of these types of activities,as well as more face-to-face time with other people and periods of exercise,you will clearly be spending less time with technology.Its unlikely that many of us will be t
31、hrowing away our smartphones anytime soon.But being able to recognise when our technology use is becoming _40_,and then scheduling in some time away from our gadgets whether thats an hour,a day,or an entire weekend could surely benefit us all.III.Reading Comprehension Section ADirections:For each bl

33、in the natural world.The fruit and vegetables that we enjoy today have been selectively bred over thousands of years,often transformed out of all _41_ from the original wild crop._42_,carrots werent originally orange,they were scrawny and white;peaches once resembled cherries and tasted salty.Howeve
34、r,the selective breeding for big and tasty _43_,combined with intensive farming practices,has sometimes come at a(n)_44_ cost.Protein,calcium,iron,vitamin B2 and C have all _45_ in fruit and vegetables over the past century,with todays vegetables having about two-thirds of the minerals they used to
35、have.By 2028,genetics and biomolecular science should have _46_ the balance to some extent.DNA from one organism will be inserted into that of another,eliminating the need to undertake generations of selective breeding to acquire _47_ traits.Just last year,researchers from Australia showcased a bana
36、na with high levels of provitamin A,an important nutrient not normally _48_ in the fruit.To create this fruit,the researchers took out genes from a specific type of Papua New Guinean banana thats naturally high in provitamin A,and then inserted them into the common banana variety.More controversiall

43、r each of them there are four choices marked A,B,C and D.Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read.(A)What defines an eco-house?There are two features to take into consideration.Firstly,the energy efficiency and carbon emissions associated wit
44、h running the house,and then the type of construction materials used,their associated emissions and the raw materials required.At Baufritz,we have won awards relating to the sustainability of our houses.This is because as a company we had decided to put environmental stewardship at the core of our v
45、alues way back in the 1960s.So how do we do it?Heating is the biggest emissions factor for any house.It is really rather simple to solve this problem make a house extremely energy efficient and this will no longer be a factor.Ultra low energy houses have become known as Passive houses,where a certai
46、n set of design characteristics help to improve efficiencies.You need a very high level of insulation in the walls and roof.Glass should be suitably positioned to optimise solar gaintucmrr(heat from the sun).The house needs to be very well engineered so no heat is lost through cracks or poorly fitte
47、d windows and doors.At Baufritz we manufacture Kit houses,and use Modern Manufacturing Methods in our factory to engineer our houses in such a way that leaks are minimised.We have also developed“HOIZ”insulation.Manufactured from natural wood waste products,HOIZ is placed between the inside and outsi
48、de layers of our timber framed houses to create the highest level of insulation.Our windows and doors use triple glazing to minimise heat loss.Overheating is one of the biggest challenges Passive houses face and our architects use some very clever ventilation systems to manage internal environmental
49、 conditions.All houses still have energy-consuming appliances,but with the addition of solar for both electricity generation and water heating,the carbon footprint of the homes we produce are further reduced.Embedded carbon in building manufacturing materials such as concrete,as well as a historic t
50、endency to send materials to landfills,results in a high carbon footprint and natural resource exploitation.Baufritz addresses this problem in a number of ways.Our primary manufacturing material is wood.We source from sustainable certified forests where felled trees are replanted.In fact,we believe
