　　(2024·南京市高三學情調研)Phantom vibrations — the phenomenon where you think your phone is vibrating but its not — have been around since the mobile age. Today, they’re so common that researchers have devoted studies to them.

　　For Valerie Kusler, who works on a cattle farm, the feeling is complicated by the cows. “The cows’ moo is very muffled, it kinda sounds like ... errrrrr，” she says. “So thats very similar to what my phone sounds like when it vibrates on my desk or in my purse.”

　　Other people may not confuse cows for their phones, but research shows phantom vibration symptom is a near-universal experience for people with smartphones.

　　Nearly 90 percent of college undergraduates in a 2024 study said they felt phantom vibrations. The number was just as high for a survey of hospital workers, who reported feeling phantom vibrations on either a weekly or monthly basis.

　　“Something in your brain is being triggered (觸發), that’s different than what was triggered just a few short years ago，” says Dr Larry Rosen, a research psychologist who studies how technology affects our minds.

　　“If youd asked me 10 years ago, or maybe even five years ago if I felt an itch beneath where my pocket of my jeans was, and asked me what I would do, I’d reach down and scratch it because it was probably a little itch caused by the neurons firing(神經元刺激)，”he says. Now, of course, the itch triggers him to reach for his phone. Rosen says its an example of how our devices are changing how our brains process information.

　　“We?re seeing a lot of what looks like obsessive behavior. People who are constantly picking up their phones look like they have an obsession.They don?t look much different from someone who?s constantly washing their hands. I?m not saying that it is an obsession, but I?m saying that it could turn into one, very easily，” Rosen says.

　　While 9 out of 10 participants in the study of college students said the vibration feeling bothered them only a little or not at all, Rosen still recommends backing away from our phones every once in a while to keep our anxiety levels down.

　　“One of the things I’m really adamant about in spite of being very pro-technology, is just away from the technology for short periods，” Rosen says.“And by short periods, I mean, maybe just 30 minutes or an hour.”

　　(2024·揚州市高三期末檢測)Food waste has been a chronic (習慣性的) problem for restaurants and grocery stores — with millions of tons lost along the way as crops are hauled (拖) hundreds of miles, stored for weeks in refrigerators and prepared on busy restaurant assembly lines. But the historically high price of products is making it an even bigger drag on the bottom line.

　　Restaurants, colleges, hospitals and other institutions are compensating for the rising costs of waste in novel ways. Some are tracking their trash with software systems, making food in smaller packages or trying to compost (將……制成堆肥) and cut down on trash-hauling costs.

　　“We have all come to work with this big elephant in the middle of kitchen, and the elephant is this ’It’s okay to waste’ belief system，” said Andrew Shackman, president of LeanPath, a company that helps restaurants cut back food waste.

　　The interest in cutting food waste “has just rocketed in the last six to nine months，” he said.

　　Roughly 30 percent of food in the United States goes to waste, costing some $48 billion annually, according to a Stockholm International Water Institute study. A University of Arizona study estimated that 40 to 50 percent of food in the United States is wasted. Wholesale food costs have risen more than 8 percent this year, the biggest jump in decades, according to the National Restaurant Association.

　　Freshman students at Virginia Tech were surprised this year when the two of the campus? biggest dining halls to find there were no trays.

　　“You have to go back and get your dishware and your drink, but it?s not that different，” said Caitlin Mewborn, a freshman. “Its not a big trouble. You take less food, and you don’t eat more than you should.”

　　Getting rid of trays has cut food waste by 38 percent at the dining halls, said Denny Cochrane, manager of Virginia Tech’s sustainability program. Before the program began, students often grabbed whatever looked good at the buffet (自助餐), only to find at the table that their eyes were bigger than their stomachs, he said.

　　5．High price of products makes the problem of food waste ________.

　　A．less challenging

　　B．more unbelievable

　　C．less noticeable

　　D．more unsolvable

　　★6.What does Caitlin Mewborn most probably think about the fact that no trays are provided in the campus dining halls?

　　A．It doesnt help cut food waste much.

　　B．It causes much trouble for students.

　　C．It isnt well-received by the freshmen.

　　D．It is efficient for cutting food waste.

　　★7.The author mentions Virginia Tech as an example to support the idea that ________.

　　A．food waste has been a long-lasting chronic problem

　　B．novel ways are being applied to cutting food waste

　　C．colleges are truly the biggest source of food waste

　　D．the “Its okay to waste” belief system is influential

　　C

　　The Ghost Bridegroom

　　At the time of this story, there was a great family gathering at the castle to meet the promised bridegroom of the Barons daughter. An arrangement had been made between the Baron and an old nobleman of Bavaria, Berton, for a marriage between their children. It would increase the importance of both families. The initial plans had been made in the usual way: The young people were engaged without having met each other and the date set for the wedding.

　　The young Count (伯爵) Von Altenburg had been recalled from the army and was on his way to the castle to meet his promised bride. Messages had been received from Wurtzburg where he was accidentally delayed. The messages indicated the day and time when he might be expected to arrive. The castle was in a fever of preparation to provide him with a suitable welcome.

　　Anne had dressed with particular care. Bertha and Wilda had selected her clothing and quarreled all morning about what she should wear. The young lady had taken advantage of their arguments to wear exactly what she wanted and had chosen very well. She looked as beautiful as any young bridegroom could wish for, and the excitement made her look even lovelier. The two aunts constantly directed her, as single aunts usually take a great interest in the love affairs of others. They were giving her the final instructions on how to behave, what to say, and how to greet her intended husband.

　　Hour by hour passed. The sun, which had been so warm over the rich forests of the Odenwald, was now setting along the tops of the mountains. The Baron went to the tallest tower in the castle to see if he could see any sign of the Count and his escorts.

　　Once, he thought he saw them. The sound of horns came floating up from the valley. A party of men was seen far below, riding slowly along the road. It was a false alarm, for when they reached the foot of the mountain, they suddenly rode off in a different direction. The sun, by now, had set, and the bats began to fly about in the evening light. It was getting dark, and the only movement on the road was the occasional worker returning home.

　　★8.Which is the right relationship of the characters in the novel?

　　A．Von Altenburg was the Baron’s son.

　　B．Anne and Bertha were the Barons sisters.

　　C．Anne was Bertons only daughter.

　　D．Von Altenburg was Annes intended husband.

　　9．What can best describe the bridegroom?

　　A．He accepted his intended marriage arranged without his knowledge.

　　B．He was eager to meet his intended wife so he retired from the army.

　　C．He wouldnt have been welcome by the bride had he arrived on time.

　　D．He didnt like the marriage so purposely delayed going to the castle.

　　★10.Which of the following descriptions best reflects the disappointed feeling of the Baron family?

　　A．The sun was so warm over the rich forests of the Odenwald.

　　B．The Baron went to the tallest tower to see if he could see any sign of the Count.

　　C．The sound of horns came floating up from the valley.

　　D．The sun had set, and the bats began to fly about in the evening light.

　　11．What will the author most probably write about in the next paragraph(s)?

　　A．What happened to the bride.

　　B．What happened to the bridegroom.

　　C．What happened to the Baron.

　　D．What happened to the aunts.語篇解讀：本文是一篇說明文。你是否總覺得手機在震動，即使它根本不在你旁邊？本文介紹了一種困擾人們的現象——震動幻覺，以及它對人們的危害和人們應對該現象的方法。1．選D　推理判斷題。根據第一段的內容可推知，近年來，震動幻覺已經開始困擾人們，所以研究者才開始對它展開研究。故選D項。

　　9．選A　細節理解題。根據第一段最后一句可知，這對年輕人在沒有見面的情況下就被訂婚了，由此結合第二段第一句中的“to meet his promised bride”可知，A項正確。
