It vastly improved my life. I felt empty and frustrated athow much time I spent on my smartphone. So I spent the last five years steadily stripping my phonedown to the basics. Social media was the first to go, then email, then news apps, and then even internetbrowsers.24-25上 12月四校联考高三英语科试卷（第3页 共 11页）#QQABJQaEogCgAABAABgCAwEwCkMQkhAAAYgOhEAAsAABiQNABAA=# I long considered switching to a flip phone, but I always found an excuse to stay. Ultimately itwas two of my students,15-and 18year-old sisters, who pushed me over the edge. Word spreadaround school that they had bought flip phones. If they were brave enough to take the plunge, I could,too. I spent $9 on a flip phone, plus $120 for a year of unlimited talk and text on a new number. Forthe last five months, I havent carried a smartphone with me, just my flip phone.This is the charming, romantic side of owning a flip phone: more conversations, more eyecontact, more connection. The separation between work and life is much more noticeable. I dontoverthink work emails all day, since I no longer carry my work email in my pocket. I am living morelike my creative, curious, phone-free children.This all sounds wonderful because it is wonderful. And now its confession time: I still have mysmartphone. As it turns out, our addiction to smartphones is not just on an individual level.Intentionally or not, we have built structures that depend upon smartphone access, making it anessential feature of modern life. While most of the flip phone inconveniences are charming, some ofthem are so frustrating that they make you want to pull your hair out.Despite that, I will continue to use a flip phone as my primary phone so I dont have to carry asmartphone with me. And I will continue to evangelize for it. I hope many others get flip phones. Wewill all be better for it. If nothing else, itll be nice to have more people to talk to in the grocery line.22224.What drove the author to switch to a flip phone?A. Inspiration from his students.B.

Over the past two years, there has been a three-monthdelay in the rainy season and new tender shoots that lemurs consume for nutrition are appearing inJanuary and February14 days after the first rainfall, says Patricia Chapple Wright, a primatologist,anthropologist, and conservationist at Stony Brook University. “Lemurs eat a food source that is veryadaptive,” Patricia Wright told PBS NewsHour. “Its able to stand climate change, but the lemurs,unfortunately, cant adapt quickly to this changed cycle.”Since baby lemurs are born in November, the delayed rainy season is dangerously affecting thesurvival of them for lack of nutrition available for both the mothers and offspring. “This is why, forextreme feeding specialists like the greater bamboo lemur, climate change can be an unknowing killer,”Wright says. “Making the lemurs rely on bamboo stems(茎) for just a bit longer may be enough to tipthe balance from existence to extinction.” The lemurs highly specialized teeth are also similar to thepandas teeth. Both are the mammals able to chew up stems. But this diet cant last for more than aseason or two because the stems can wear away their teeth.The researchers believe that climate change is affecting the lemurs. The fossil record shows thatthe lemurs once lived throughout the island. Today, the mammals are cornered on the eastern side,where the dry season at present is the shortest. And if people continue the deforestation practice inthe area, the lemurs will have nowhere to go.The situation is serious, so Wright and her colleagues plan to create bamboo corridors within therainforests, which will provide available bamboo to eat. They want to work with local villagers toplant more bamboo and manage automatic watering systems when dry seasons last long. They alsowant to build the local economy by allowing people to harvest a part of bamboo while the rest remainswith the lemurs, so people will be interested. Wrights conservation plans include moving lemursback to other places on the island as well.28. What does the underlined part in Paragraph 1 most probably mean?A. Go with each other.B. Occur at different times.D. Call for effective protection.C. Lead to a heated discussion.29. Why will lemurs get hungry if the dry season continues?A. They may run out of bamboo.B. They cant adapt to the hot season.C. They dislike the less delicious stems.D. They cant chew the stems for a long period.0. What mainly caused the living area of lemurs to narrow?33A. The climate change.C. The decreasing forest.B. Their teeth protection.D. Their special dietary habits.1. Which of the following may Wright approve of to protect lemurs?A. Shortening the dry season.B. Forbidding the cutting of bamboo.C. Strengthening peoples motivation.D. Finding other islands for lemurs to live on.24-25上 12月四校联考高三英语科试卷（第5页 共 11页）#QQABJQaEogCgAABAABgCAwEwCkMQkhAAAYgOhEAAsAABiQNABAA=# DWant to know what is coming soon to a cinema near you? Probably not a 1.5-hour-long movie,as in the old days. On October 20th comes Killers of the Flower Moon. At nearly three and a halfhours, its length is nearly double that of the average film last year. Even movie fans struggle toconcentrate for that long and some viewers even nod off.Afterwards there is a mad dash for the toilets.When does watching a film become such a slog?The Economist analyzed over 100,000 feature films released internationally since the 1930s, thestart of Hollywoods golden age, using data from IMDb, a movie database. The average length ofproductions rose by around 24 from one hour and 21 minutes in the 1930s to one hour and 47minutes in 2022. For the ten most-popular titles, the average length grew to around two and a halfhours in 2022, nearly 50% higher than in the 1930s.One driver of this trend is that studios want to squeeze the most out of their costly intellectualproperty (知识产权), but they are competing with streaming platforms for eyeballs. The hope is thata spectacular, drawn-out “event” movie will draw audiences away from the small screen and intocinemas. This approach has often paid off: Avengers: Endgame, Marvels three-hour superheromasterpieces, was the highest-grossing (票房最高的) film in 2019. Last year long movies series madeup most of the highest-grossing films in America.Another explanation for longer films has to do with directors growing influence. Who woulddare tell the likes of Mr. Nolan to cut out his masterpieces? Moreover, streaming platforms, which donot have to worry as much about the length because viewers can pause whenever they like, may attractbig names by promising them sufficient fund and creative freedom. Netflix funded and released three-hour The Irishman in 2019, a film that would have benefited from a decisive editor, Irish or otherwise.28. The underlined part “a slog” in paragraph 1 refers to a(n)_.A. pleasure.B. effort.D. feast.C. conflict.29. What can be inferred from paragraph 2?A. The average length affects the popularity of films.B. Great advances have been made in film industry.C. Hollywood starts a golden age of feature films.D. The average duration of movies has stretched.0. What sets the trend of longer movies?A. Competition for the target audience.33B. Thirst for more classic productions.C. Influence of streaming platforms.D. Preference for decisive editors.1. What is probably the best title for the passage?A. Movie EnthusiastsC. Movie ProductionB. Movie MarathonsD.
