Immediately after the trailhead(山道的起点), the trail became very rocky and steep. But having read information about the hike, I knew within five minutes, I was supposed to reach the hikes first overlook.However, the overlook never arrived. Instead, I found myself lost in the woods. Pulling out my cellphone, I saw it read “no service”. I checked the last text message Id sent to my mom. It read, “Conference endedgoing for a small hike before my flight home this afternoon.” I put my phone away and kept moving and yelling, “Help! Is anybody out there?” Every so often, Id stop to listen, but I never heard a reply.I got out my phone again. The battery was running out fast as it searched for a signal. I struggled to find a place where I could get service. When I did, I called my mom. It went through! In a shaky voice, I said, “Mom?” And then the call dropped.

The areas low energy needs have therefore been fulfilled using old-fashioned solar panels（板）and a diesel generator（柴油发电机）. The beautiful island is now, however, being increasingly popular with tourists wishing to explore the rural landscape and view the islands seabird colonies.Though this is wele news, meeting the islands growing energy needs without damaging its environment has a challenge. Flat Holm team leader Natalie Taylor says, “Its really important that we have a really high functioning system. From an environmental point of view, we want to reduce the use of diesel generators so that we can have as small an ecological footprint as possible.”Fortunately, UK-based startup Renovagen had the perfect solution. The panys Rapid Roll Solar PV system consists of flexible solar panels that can be unrolled like a carpet from a trailer（拖车）and instantly put to work. According to the pany, a small panel can provide 11kw of power within two minutes.The technology is the brainchild of Renovagens Managing Director John Hingley, who came up with the idea after seeing something used as a backup battery for mobile devices about five years ago. In addition to being easy to unfold, the rollable panels are also more cost-effective to transport. Hingley says, “pared with traditional rigid panels, we can fit up to 10 times the power in this size container.”The solar panel “carpets,” laid on the island in early October, are being used to provide electricity to its pub and lighthouse. In addition to providing power to remote islands like Flat Holm, Hingley hopes the Rapid Roll technology will be useful in areas affected by natural disasters. A good example is Puerto Rico, where most people have been without electricity since Hurricane Maria destroyed the power lines.28. What leads to Flat Holms increasing energy needs?A. Its growing number of tourists.B. Its remote location.C. The damage to its environment.D. The power system failure.29. Where does the difficulty lie to increase energy supply to Flat Holm?A. Reusing diesel generators.B. Protecting its environment.C. Abandoning old solar panels.D. Reducing transport cost.30. How do the new solar panels differ from the old ones?A. They cost less.B. They are smaller.C. They are portable.D. They are hard to operate.31. What gave Hingley inspiration of the Rapid Roll technology?A. A natural disaster.B. A similar invention.C. His life on the island.D. Traditional rigid panels.D It is a familiar scene these days: employees taking newly laid-off(下岗) co-workers out for a drink for fort. But which side deserves sympathy more, the jobless or the still employed? On March 6, researchers at a conference at the University of Cambridge heard data suggesting its the latter.Brendan Burchell, a Cambridge sociologist, presented his analysis based on various surveys conducted across Europe. The data suggest that employed people who feel insecure in their jobs show similar levels of anxiety and depression as those who are unemployed. Although a newly jobless persons mental health may “bottom out” after about six months, and then even begin to improve, the mental state of people who are continuously worried about losing their job “just continues to get worse and worse”, Burchell says.Evolutionary psychologists support this theory by arguing that human beings feel more stress during times of insecurity because they sense an immediate but invisible threat. Patients have been known to experience higher levels of anxiety, for example, while waiting for examination results than knowing what they are suffering fromeven if the result is cancer. Its better to get the bad news and start doing something about it rather than wait with anxiety. When the uncertainty continues, people stay in a nonstop “fight or flight” response, which leads to damaging stress.But not every employee in insecure industries has such a discouraging view, Burchell says. In general, women get on better. While reporting higher levels of anxiety than men when directly questioned, women scored lower in stress on the GHQ 12, even when they had a job they felt insecure about losing. As Burchell explains, “For women, most studies show that any jobit doesnt matter whether it is secure or insecuregives psychological improvement over unemployment.” He supposes that the difference in men is that they tend to feel pressure not only to be employed, but also to be the primary breadwinner，and that more of a mans self-worth depends on his job.32. Why do researchers think the still employed deserve sympathy more?A. They have to do more work since then.B. They have no chance to find better jobs.C. They have to work with inexperienced workers.D. They frequently worry about losing their jobs.33. What is most likely to cause a “fight or flight” response?A. Not having a paid job.B. Fierce petition for jobs.C. Not knowing what will happen.D. Pressure to work longer hours.34. What will the writer talk about following the last paragraph?A. Advice on preparing a job interview.舒中高二统考英语 第6页 (共8页)B. Advice to those in insecure industries.C. Some knowledge of psychology.D. Difference in men and women.35. What could be the best title for the text?A. Is it less stressful to get laid off than stay on?B. Should greater sympathy be given to the jobless?C. Do employees bear more stress than ever before?D. Do men or women show higher levels of anxiety?第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。A gratitude journal is a great way to keep yourself in a positive state of mind.
