28、line test to see if you have it. Last week, researchers 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
29、such as “hurt” (neck pain was often reported) and “alone” 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

Professor Mark Griffiths, psychologist and director of the International Gamin
31、g Research Unit at Nottingham Trent University, says it 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 hav

This helps us decide what to wear. _36_. We want our food to be a certain coldness in the refrigerator. We want it a certain hotness in
37、the oven. If we dont feel well, we use a thermometer to see if we have a fever. We keep our rooms a certain warmth in the winter and a certain coolness in the summer.Not all the thermometers use the same system to measure temperature. We use a system called the Fahrenheit scale. But most other count
38、ries use the Centigrade scale.Both systems use the freezing and boiling points of water as their guide._37_ .The most common kind of thermometer is made with mercury(水银)inside a clear glass tube. As mercury (or any other liquid ) becomes hot, it expands. As it gets colder, it contracts. That is why
39、on hot days the mercury line is high in the glass tube._38_.First. Take a clear glass juice bottle that has a cap ; fill the bottle with coloured water. Tap a hole in the center of the cap using a hammer and thick nail. Put the cap on the jar. Then stick a plastic straw through the nail hole._39_.Fi
40、nally. Place a white card on the outside of the bottle and behind the straw. Now you can see the water lever easily._40_. As the temperature goes down, the water will contract, and the lever in the straw will come down. Perhaps you will want to keep a record of the water level in the straw each morn
41、ing for a week.AWe use and depend on thermometers to measure the temperature of many other things in our daily lives.BThermometers measure temperature, by using materials that change in the same way when they are heated or cooled.CNow that you know this rule you can make a thermometer of your own th
42、at will work.DThe water will rise in the straw. As the temperature of the air goes up, the water will expand and rise even higher.EThey label these in different ways. On the Fahrenheit scale water freezes at 32 degrees and boils at212 degrees. On the Celsius scale water freezes at 0 degrees and boil
43、s at 100degrees.FTake wax (you may use an old candle if you have one) and melt some of it right where the straw is struck into the cap to seal（把粘住) them together.GPeople use thermometers which are made by themselves when travelling around the world.第三部分：英语知识运用（共两节，满分45分）第一节：完形填空(共20小题；每小题 1.5分，满分30分
