I usually find a seat and start reading or texting my friends, making sure, like everyone else, not to look at other people. Then, twenty minutes later, I get off. But last Tuesda
20、y was different. I was happily looking out of the window when the train suddenly stopped. This wasnt usual. Then after about five minutes, I noticed people were starting to get a bit upset. Fifteen minutes later, people started getting more and more upset. Then the announcement (广播) came: “We are so
21、rry to announce that this train is delayed. A train has broken down in front of us.” There was a loud groan (叹息) throughout the carriage but soon something unexpected happened: all the complete strangers started talking to each other. At first, everyone just complained about the trains, but then peo
22、ple started talking about real things. I started chatting to a couple of young tourists sitting opposite me. Next, I really surprised myself by talking to a businesswoman. Business people are a lot cooler than I thought. Then I decided to get up and go for a walk down the train. I met a woman who ha
23、d been a student at my school seven years before. People offered each other food and drink. A young woman took her guitar and soon we were singing along. While we were singing, we heard there was a sick boy in another part of the train who needed help, and the woman from my school jumped into action
24、. It turned out she was a nurse, and when she came back she was welcomed as a hero. Then, after two and a half hours, we started moving again. Everyone cheered and some people, complete strangers three hours before, even hugged. I took the train again on Wednesday but none of my new “friends” were t
25、here. Although people were polite, they werent nearly as friendly as the people the day before had been. Ill never forget the day the train stopped and people started talking. 24.

28、 couldnt solve? Maybe you went to a shop to look for a solution, but came home empty-handed. More and more, when this situation appears, people are creating their own devices (设备) as drone the solution. Its all part of the Maker Movement, made up of thousands of resourceful people who make and fix t
29、hings, rather than buy them in shops. Makers do all kinds of hands-on projects, from building pizza oven (烤箱) to designing their own drones. For makers, the do-it-yourself way is more affordable, green and satisfying. Thanks to technology, its easier than ever to turn a thought into reality. Many ma
30、kers use the same tools, just in different ways. For example, Arduino allows people to do anything from creating a talking clock to studying DNA, with very easy-to-use and free hardware (硬件) and software. Raspberry Pi is another popular maker tool. It is a low cost, bank-card sized computer that con
31、nects to computers or TVs, and uses a standard keyboard and mouse. It is a little device that enables people of all ages to explore computing. This minicomputer is as powerful as some full-sized computers. People are using Raspberry Pi for a wide variety of uses, from creating video games to powerin
32、g robots. Another key piece of technology for makers are 3D printers, which allow a normal person to create just about anything. You can even use a 3D printer to build your own 3D printer! The availability of these technologies encourages people to be creative, but technology is only one part of the
33、 Maker Movement. Collaboration whether online or in person is just as important. This is clear from the growing popularity of Maker Faires, events where people come together to experiment in the areas of art, science, engineering and technology. So, do you have what it takes to become a maker? You n
34、eed to be creative and willing to play around with some new technologies. You should also want to share your ideas with others. Perhaps most importantly, you cant be afraid of failure. Creators hardly ever get it right on the first try. Be brave, be creative, be co-operative and have fun! 27. What c
35、an we infer from Paragraph 2? A. Raspberry Pi helps realise makers ideas more easily than before. B. Full-sized computers are much more powerful than Arduino. C. People can communicate with their clocks through Arduino. D. Many free video games can be created with Raspberry Pi. 28. The word “collabo
36、ration” in Paragraph 4 probably means “_”. A. creating solutions B. growing quickly C. doing experiments D. working together 29. Which of the following would be the best title for the passage? A. Various Tools-Using B. Creative Problem-Solving C. Development of New Technology D. Inventions with High
37、-tech Devices D The Stressed-out Generation Each generation has its own set of values and characters, but one thing common to all generations is that they are suffering (遭受) from stress. In a recent survey by the American Psychological Association (APA), all age groups now report higher levels of st
38、ress than in the past. However, survey results show that stress levels for Millennials (born roughly between 1981 and 2004) are clearly above average (均值). So, whats worrying the Millennials? Millennials are the first generation to grow up with computers in the home and the classroom. They are recei
39、ving information from everywhere all the time because of the rise of modern technology and social media. Over time, this information overload can become too much to handle and can result in continual stress, which in turn can cause serious physical and emotional problems. Another cause, according to
40、 writer Michael D. Hais, is that many Millennials have lived easy lives because of overprotective parents. These young adults are short of problem-solving skills and may have trouble dealing with fear of failure once they leave home. However, the survey results may be a bit misleading as they dont t
41、ake into account public attitudes toward stress and mental illness. Ronald Kessler of Harvard Medical School, points out that changes in social attitudes have helped lessen the shame related to mental illness over the years. For example, the creation of health-related television programming and spec
42、ialty magazines such as Psychology Today has drawn peoples attention to mental health problems. Its possible that younger people now are more willing to admit (承认) to being stressed than in the past. Despite the high levels of stress reported by Millennials in the APA survey, there is reason for hap
43、piness. Many happiness and well-being surveys show that happiness generally increases as people grow older. As Millennials get more life experience and develop better problem- solving skills over time, they should become better at dealing with stress. Moreover, with deeper understanding of mental he
44、alth issues today, the shame related to seeing a psychologist (心理医生) has lessened. This means that people are more likely to look for professional help to lower their stress levels. There are now many kinds of stress management skills such as exercise and meditation (冥想). Millennials must develop th
45、ese skills to deal with stress in order to be productive members of their community. Once they do, they will be able to look back with satisfaction on the world they helped create. 30. What does the survey by APA show? A. Millennials are more stressed than most generations. B. Millennials are worrie
46、d about their own characters. C. Its normal for many Millennials to feel stressed. D. Stress levels differ because of different values. 31. What is Paragraph 2 mainly about? A. The problems caused by Millennials overprotective parents. B. The results of receiving a great amount of information. C. Th
47、e ways Millennials deal with modern technology. D. The causes of Millennials suffering more stress. 32. According to the passage, what are people like today compared to the past? A. They are more likely to become psychologists. B. They are more talented in using modern technology. C. They are more w
48、illing to look for professional help with stress. D. They are more independent and have good problem-solving skills. 33. What is the writers main purpose in writing this passage? A. To draw parents attention to Millennials emotional problems. B. To remind us of the importance of getting more life experience. C. To offer some right ways of developing problem-solving skills. D. To encourage Millennials to deal with stress in proper ways. 四、阅读短文,根据短文内容回答问题。(共 10 分,每小题 2 分) What makes Australia different?
