As is often the case, when people are attending to meetings, having meals or waiting for buses, you can always find them addicting to their phones, completely ignoring others．

This is really a common phenomena in our life．The reason is why smart phones nowadays can be used for people to play mobile games and kept in touch with friends through QQ and WeChat．Therefore, too much exposure to phones are bad for people in terms of health．Moreover, people involved in phones fail to communicate well with these around them．

As far as I am concerned, people should wisely make use of their phones to help their work and study．Meanwhile, care much about their family and friends rather than mobile phones．

【2016模擬題】閱讀下列短文，從每題所給的四個選項（A、B、C和D）中，選出最佳選項。

With his unique black mane (鬃毛)and impressive stature(身材), 13-year-old Cecil was a popular tourist attraction at the 3.6 million-square-acre Hwange National Park(萬基國家公園) in Zimbabwe (津巴布韋).

Cecil was head of a pride of lions that includes 12 cubs(幼崽), but the well-known lion was shot and killed in early July by American dentist Walter J. Palmer.

Cecil’s death has already sparked an international outcry (強烈抗議) with many calling for an end to hunting endangered animals and for Palmer to be extradited(引渡) to Zimbabwe to stand trial.

Professor David Macdonald, the head of the Oxford University research program that monitored the daily movements of Cecil and dozens of other lions, is deeply saddened by Cecil’s death. Macdonald hopes the death can inspire the public to take an interest in lion conservation.

Macdonald says many of the lions tracked by the program have been shot and killed. “The background to this story is that there is a crisis for lions throughout much of Africa.” He says.

African lion populations have fallen almost 60 percent over the past thirty decades, and as few as 32,000 of them remain in the wild, according to the International Fund for Animal Welfare(國際愛護動物基金會).

“And as troubling as it is, the rarer these hunted animals become, the more hunter s are willing to pay to kill them,” said Jeff Flockedn, the fund’s North American regional director.

In addition to excessive hunting, lions throughout Africa also continue to face threats that include conflicts with local farmers, loss of habitat and risk of traffic and railway collisions(碰撞).

1. Internationally, people’s attitude towards Walter J. Palmer’s behavior is ________.

A. Understandable B. Unpardonable

C. Unpredictable D. Uncontrollable

2.According to the text, how many African lions lived in the wild thirty years ago?

A. 80,000 B. 48,000 C. 53,000 D. 60,000

3.African lions are facing the following threats except ________.

A. their conflicts with local farmers.

B. the loss of their habitats

C. people’s excessive hunting

D. the increase in the number of their natural enemies

4.The best title of the text might be ________.

A. The Death of Cecil-an African Lion

B. The Current state of All African Lions

C. The Threats Facing African Lions

D. The Appeal for an End to Hunting Endangered Animals

Obviously!

Until Descartes came along in the seventeenth century, everyone assumed that we exited. Obviously. The fact seemed so mind-blowing obvious that it wasn’t really discussed. We could see ourselves in the mirror, we could feel pain and pleasure, we could think thoughts for ourselves and, more importantly, perhaps, all the world’s main religions assumed that we do exist. So we exist.

No you don’t it!

You don’t exist. That’s because it’s impossible to show once and for all that you do. There’s no proof. You might think you exist-that you are sitting at a table reading this book, for instance-but how could you show with 100 percent certainty that this is true? There’s no experiment that could prove it. Although Descartes said just you could prove your own existence by the fact that you are able to think, this isn’t actually, according to the British philosopher A. J. Ayer. Just because we know that we are thinking, this doesn’t mean that there is a “you” doing the thinking. It just shows that the thoughts are happening, not that anyone is having them. Thoughts exists, “You” don’t.

_____________!

What a waste of time this question is. Although you can argue until the end of time whether you exist or not, it doesn’t get you anywhere. Unless you forget about this unanswerable question, you’ll be stuck thinking about it forever, and that isn’t of any use to anyone. Move on. Think about something more important! This very roughly, is the view of almost all philosophers, who prefer to answer other, apparently more useful, questions.

Yes, but…

You exist, but not in the way you might think. According to the great French philosopher Ren Descartes, you can’t show that anything exists—apart from your own self. The existence of the entire world can be doubted in one way or another, but the facts you’re having thoughts shows that there might be something (that’s you) having them. This let Descartes to write the famous philosophical phrase, “ I think before I am”.

1.Which of the following can be the missing heading?

A. Forget about it B. What a ridiculous point

C. Think about it D. What a pointless question

2.This passage is anything but a(n)___________.

A. comment B. discussion

C. argument D. debate

3.The famous answer to the question “Do I exist?” is ___________.

A. No, you don’t exist.

B. I think, therefore, I am.

C. Yes, you do exist.

D. It won’t get you anywhere
