17、describe the programs of the camp22（8分） You know the feeling that you have left your phone at home and feel anxious, as if you have lost your connection to the world. “Nomophobia” (无手机恐惧症) affects teenagers and adults alike. You can even do an online test to see if you have it. Last week, researcher
18、s from Hong Kong warned that nomophobia is infecting everyone. Their study found that people who use their phones to store, share and access personal memories suffer most. When users were asked to describe how they felt about their phones, words such as “hurt” (neck pain was often reported) and “alo
19、ne” predicted higher levels of nomophobia.“The findings of our study suggest that users regard smartphones as their extended selves and get attached to the devices,” said Dr. Kim Ki Joon. “People experience feelings of anxiety and unpleasantness when separated from their phones.” Meanwhile, an Ameri
20、can study shows that smartphone separation can lead to an increase in heart rate and blood pressure.So can being without your phone really give you separation anxiety? Professor Mark Griffiths, psychologist and director of the International Gaming Research Unit at Nottingham Trent University, says i
21、t is what is on the phone that counts-the social networking that creates Fomo (fear of missing out).“We are talking about an internet-connected device that allows people to deal with lots of aspects of their lives,” says Griffiths. “You would have to surgically remove a phone from a teenager because
22、 their whole life is rooted in this device.”Griffiths thinks attachment theory, where we develop emotional dependency on the phone because it holds details of our lives, is a small part of nomophobia. For “screenagers”, it is Fomo that creates the most separation anxiety. If they cant see whats happ
23、ening on Snapchat or Instagram, they become panic-stricken about not knowing whats going on socially. “But they adapt very quickly if you take them on holiday and theres no internet,” says Griffiths.1、Which of the following may Dr. Kim Ki Joon agree with?AWe waste too much time on phones.BPhones hav
24、e become part of some users.CAddiction to phones makes memories suffer.DPhones and blood pressure are closely linked.2、According to Giffiths, we get nomophobia because .Awe are accustomed to having a phone on usBwe need our phones to help us store informationCwe worry we may miss out what our friend

26、ich was also called dance music, and combining it with trumpeter(小号手) Buddy Bolden, to create what would eventually become todays jazz.Armstrong accomplished this with almost no formal training. He received little training before he was placed in the New Orleans Colored Waifs Home at the age of 12,
27、after a run-in(小争执) with the police. The punishment turned out to be a mixed blessing, for he also had the opportunity to play in a real band.While at the Waifs, Armstrong also got the chance to hear some of the citys finest musicians. Cornetist Freddie Keppard performed in a nearby club. So did tru
28、mpeter and bandleader King Joe Oliver, who took the boy under his wing and taught him how to read music and work on his playing technique.When Oliver left for Chicago, Armstrong chose to stay in New Orleans and work with some of the other top musicians of the day. In Chicago, King Oliver offered him
29、 a place in his band in 1922. It became Armstrongs biggest challenge yet the band had no parts written for trumpet, so he was forced to listen to King Oliver and improvise(即兴创作).Soon, Armstrongs undeniable talent was getting noticed. Even classically trained musicians would come to hear the incredib
30、le sounds this young man created.Lil Hardin, the bands piano player and the future Mrs. Armstrong, explained that Oliver kept Armstrong in the second trumpet-chair so that Oliver would still be “King”. Hardin convinced him to leave the band.Armstrong moved to New York City in 1924 to join Fletcher H
31、endersons band and then flew solo. In 1925, Armstrong put together the Hot Five, expanding his popularity even more. Armstrong recorded his first composition, Cornet Chop Suey, one of the most copied jazz solos of all time. This monumental 1928 recording blends(混合) artistry, endurance and showmanshi

The
35、 birds rocket over bridges and skim over lakes, rushing forward at accelerations that would knock an Air Force. By tracking these contests with high-speed cameras, a new study gives the first, in-depth peek into avian aerodynamics (鸟类空气力学) in the wild. “The findings may even provide insight into how
36、 to design better micro air vehicles-tiny drones. This technology will be brilliantly useful,” says biomechanics expert Jim Usherwood of the United Kingdoms Royal Veterinary College in Hatfield. “High-resolution field studies like this have never been done before for birds.”For cliff swallows, the t
37、rouble starts when they return from wintering in South America to their summer homes in North America. After arrival, they seek out their old mud nestsusually located under concrete bridges and freeways-and start rebuilding their homes. But rather than hunt down a fresh supply of mud, some swallows
38、prefer stealing supplies from their more hardworking neighbors. Others take things further and will even lay an egg or two in their neighbors nest before taking off.Battles in the air follow if the invaders are caught in the act, and a new study takes advantage of these fights to learn how birds per
39、form high-speed maneuvers (演习). The team placed three cameras along a North Carolina lake crossed by a highway bridge that houses several cliff swallow nests and waited for the battles to commence.The team was surprised to learn that most of the time, chasers copied the move of fleeing invaders. Swa
40、llows also pull very hard turns to escape an enemy, with one extreme case reaching 7.8 gravity. Fighter pilots usually pass out at about 5 or 6 gravity, which is why these experiments have earned interest, and partial funding, from the Office of Naval Research. The Navy may use the findings to build
41、 better guidance systems for micro air vehicles. However, the swallows biomechanics are complex, and now the team is simply trying to collect a few tricks.1、Why did the Usherwood carry out the studies?ATo guide a better design of air vehicles.BTo prove the swallows are better at flying.CTo experimen
