(共15小题:每小题2分,满分30分)(共15题;共30分)ADuring ancient times,children didn’t have smartphones,iPad or computers to entertain themselves. Instead,they came up with interesting games to play.★Stone ballsDuring the Qing Dynasty,kicking a stone ball around was a popular sport in the northern part of China,and it was often played in the winter to protect kids from the cold.Stones were carved into small balls and kicked along with feet.In1999,the sport was included in the6th National Ethnic Group Traditional Sports Meeting held in Beijing.★Flying kitesKites have quite a long history.The earliest kites were made of wood,instead of paper.Nowadays, the four most famous kites are the Beijing kite,Tianjin kite,Weifang kite and Nantong kite,of which each has distinctive features.The kite which resembles a swallow is a well-known Beijing style.★Hide-and-seekHide-and-seek is a traditional game for children,popular around the nation.There are two ways to play:covering a child’s eyes while other kids run around to tease(戏弄)him or,more commonly, participants hide and one child must try to find them.★Playing diabolosA diabolo is always made of wood or bamboo and has empty space in the center.By juggling(边抛边接)the diabolo on the rope,the high-speed spinning diabolos will make a sound like a whistle.Playing diabolos is an interesting folk game,especially popular in North China.Playing diabolos was also included in the first group of national intangible cultural heritage.1.Why did ancient children often play stone balls in the winter?A.To practice their feet B.To warm themselvesC.To train their skills D.To relax themselves.2.Which kites are swallow-shaped?A.Weifang kites.B.Tianjin kites.C.Beijing kites.D.Nantong kites.3.According to the passage,which one is a national intangible cultural heritage?A.Stone balls.B.Flying kites.C.Hide-and-seek.D.Playing diabolosBTechnology usually distracts us from nature.But now technology is“offering us an opportunity to listen to nonhumans in powerful ways,reviving our connection to the natural world,”wrote professor Karen Bakker in her new book,The Sounds of Life:How Digital Technology Is Bringing Us Closer to the Worlds of Animals and Plants.All around the animal kingdom,there are sounds that we struggle to pick up and decipher.Elephants, for example,communicate with each other using infrasound,a sound frequency far below our human hearing range.Coral in the ocean also communicates with each other through sound waves,with one purpose being to attract baby coral to areas where it can successfully grow.This is a shocking fact as coral doesn’t have any ears!Scientists have placed listening devices in these environments to pick up sounds humans are normally unable to detect.After the sounds are recorded,AI is then able to determine their meaning,according to the news website Vox.There are now whole databases of whale songs and honeybee dances.Bakker wrote that one day this information could be turned into“a zoological version of Google Translate”.One animal language Bakker wrote about is that of the elephant.She explained how elephants“have a different signal for honeybee,which is a threat,and a different signal for human,”in an interview with Vox.“Moreover,they distinguish between threatening humans and non-threatening humans,”she said.This technology can not only understand the animals,but also communicate back to them.For example,bees use dances to communicate to their peers where to go in search of nectar.A research team in Germany,therefore,fed the bee language AI database system into a robot bee,allowing the robot to create a dance routine that can tell the bees which direction to move,Vox reported.Whereas in the past language creation had been limited to mainly apes,with there being many examples of chimpanzees(黑猩猩)having been taught sign language to communicate with humans,this new technology now allows humans to socialize with different animals throughout the animal kingdom.4.What does the underlined word“decipher”most probably mean in paragraph2? A.Understand.B.Hear.C.Produce.D.Record.5.What helps baby coral choose their home?A.Infrasound.B.Sounds within human range of hearing. C.Sounds through its ears.D.Sound waves.6.What can we infer from the passage?A.Bees used dances to warn their peers of danger.B.Human fed listening devices into coral to detect it.C.Elephants have different signals for different purposes.D.Elephants can tell whether there are threatening animals around.7.Why did researchers create the robot bee?A.To collect more bee dances.B.To convey direction to bees.C.To learn the language of bees.D.To help bees search for their friends.CWhen you are travelling in Thailand,which means of transport is the best choice?You can rent a variety of motorbikes or bikes in Thailand.It seems to be very popular in most of the beaches and islands along the places in the north.The most popular bikes are the little125cc Honda Dream which you can get for about150baht(铢)a day or as little as3,000baht per month,making it the cheapest way to tour Thailand for the people from other countries.Sometimes you will have to go somewhere by taxi.When you are in cities in Thailand,especially in Bangkok,always remember to get a taxi that is traveling on the roads.Some drivers outside hotels refuse to use the meter(计程表).They will ask a price which is several times the price when they use the meter!The quality of the roads in Thailand is generally pretty good,so renting cars is another way to get around.The big car rental companies may offer you slightly older cars at a very reasonable price.It is a little surprising considering that the cost of buying a car in Thailand is more than that in the West.Petrol is also reasonably priced in Thailand,more expensive than American prices,but much cheaper than what is paid in Europe.In the past,Bangkok could be a difficult place to drive in—signs were generally in Thai (泰语)only,making it a hard job to find exactly where you were by looking around.But now,the situation is improved.In a lot of places,even the farthest corners of the country,street signs are in both Thai and English.8.To a foreigner,the cheapest way to get around Thailand is renting a______.A.car B.taxi C.bike D.motorbike9.What is the writer's advice about taking a taxi in Thailand?A.To take a taxi going on the road.B.To take a taxi parked outside hotels.C.To make sure there is a meter in it.D.To bargain with the driver over the price. 10.Why was it difficult to drive in Bangkok in the past?A.Because there were too many traffic jams on the roads.B.Because there were no signs showing directions.C.Because the signs were written only in their own language.D.Because the quality of the roads was not good.11.In which part of magazine can this passage be found?A.Entertainment B.Tourism C.Market D.AdvertisementDWilliam I,who conquered England some930years ago,had wealth,power and an army.Yet although William was very rich by the standard of his time,he had nothing like a flush toilet(抽水马桶),or riding lawn mower(除草机).How did he get by?History books are filled with wealthy people who were poor compared to me.I have storm windows, Croesus did not.Entire nations trembled before Alexander the Great,but he couldn,t buy cat food.Czar Nicholas lacked an electric saw.Given how much better off I am than so many famous dead people,you,d think I,d be content.The trouble is that,like most people,I compare my wealth with that of living persons:neighbors,school classmates,famous TV people.The greed I feel toward my friend Howard,s new kitchen is not reduced by the fact no kings ever had a refrigerator with glass doors.’There is really no rising or falling standard of living.Over the centuries people simply find different things to feel sad about.You,d think that simply not having disease would put us in a good mood,but no, we want a hot bath too.Of course,one way to achieve happiness would be to realize that even by today,s standards the things I own are pretty nice.My house is smaller than the houses of many investments bankers,but even so it has a lot more rooms than my wife and I can keep clean.Besides,to people looking back at our era from a century or two in the future,these bankers,fancy counter tops and my own worn Formica will seem equally shabby.I can,t keep up with my neighbors right now.But just wait.12.What does the underlined phrase“get by”in the first paragraph mean?A.Succeed as a king.B.Deal with complaints.C.Live in s satisfactory way.D.Get some extra money.13.How many historical figures are mentioned to compare lives in the past and present?A.3.B.4.C.5D.614.According to the passage,the author.intends to.A.tell us to be content with lifeB.warn us to live in a simple wayC.teach us to learn lessons from lifeD.encourage us to struggle for wealth15.What,s the author,s attitude towards life?A.Doubtful.B.Optimistic.C.Uncaring.D.Cautious.二、阅读理解第二节七选五(5小题;每小题2分,满分10分)(共1题;共10分)Table manners are the ultimate way to show respect or some accidental disrespect to yourhost.___16___.In France,you are supposed to use two hands to eat—either fork and knife or fork and bread.Bread isn't meant to be an appetizer.___17___When you eat the bread,tear off a piece of it to eat instead of biting directly into the bread.When not in use,the bread belongs on the table or tablecloth instead of the plate.Finishing everything on your plate is a no-no in many Asian countries.___18___Leaving a small amount on your plate symbolizes that you've had your fill and acknowledges your host's generosity.___19___So,tipping,in their culture,is rude.Even if they don’t assume you’re being rude,they can

Each class had unique characteristics.In recent years, many writers have begun to speak the 'decline of class' and 'classlesssociety' in Britain. And in modern day consumer society everyone is considered to be middle class.But pronouncing the death of class is too early. A recent wide-ranging society of public opinion found 90 percent of people still placing themselves in particular class; 73 percent agreed that class was still a vital part of British society; and 52 percent thought there were still sharp class differences. Thus, class may not be culturally and politically obvious, yet it remains an important part of British society. Britain seems to have a love of stratification.One unchanging aspect of a British person's class position is accent. The words a person speaks tell her or his class. A study of British accents during 1970s found that a voice sounding like a BBC newsreader was viewed as the most attractive voice. Most people said this accent sounded 'educated' and 'soft'. The accents placed at the bottom in this study, on the other hand, were regional city accents. These accents were seen as 'common' and 'ugly'. However, a similar study of British accents in the US turned these results upside down and placed some regional accents as the most attractive and BBC English as the least. This suggests that British attitudes towards accent have deep roots and are based on class prejudice.In recent years, however, young upper middle-class people in London, have begun to adopt some regional accents, in order to hide their class origins. This is an indication of class becoming unnoticed. However, the 1995 pop song 'Common People' puts forward the view that though a middle-class person may 'want to live like common people' they can never appreciate the reality of a working-class life.10.A recent study of public opinion shows that in modern Britain ________.A.people regard themselves socially differentB.most people belong to middle classC.it is easy to recognize a person’s classD.it is time to end class distinction11.The word “stratification” in Paragraph 3 is closest in meaning to ________. A.variety B.qualification C.authority D.division 12.British attitudes towards accent ________.A.are based on regional statusB.have a long traditionC.are shared by the AmericansD.have changed in recent years13.What is the main idea of the passage?A.The middle class is expandingB.A person’s accent reflects his classC.Class is a key part of British societyD.Each class has unique characteristics.Kids are cool to wear blue jeans and T-shirts today. It is fashionable like that. Fashion refers to the styles of dress that are currently popular. Fashion goes beyond just clothes, though. It’s important for some people to wear only the latest fashions and styles. For others, though, keeping up with trends isn’t that important. The one thing that stays the same with fashion is this: it always changes!During the 1960s and 1970s, Hippies made bell—bottomed blue jeans(喇叭裤)popular. Also, in the 1980s, Michael Jackson made parachute pants(降落伞裤)all the fashion. Now try to find these items in today’s clothing stores!Do you know why fashions change?The answer is probably as simple as the fact that people change. Over time, the new replaces the old. People are influenced greatly by popular culture, including athletes, musicians, movies stars, as well as popular films, television shows, books and music. We are also influenced by the fashion industry’s advertising.The stars of popular culture are always searching for a new angle to maintain(保持)their popularity. Often these new angles come in the form of new clothing or hairstyles. When people see these new styles, they often want to imitate(模仿) their favorite stars. To do so, they seek out the latest fashions to make themselves look like the people they want to imitate. In this way, fashions evolve and change over time.Clothes have been used to separate people into groups for many years. Even today,brand-name, clothing that is more expensive than other types of clothing can be used by some people to make themselves different from others.Unfortunately, this can often have the effect of distancing certain groups from others. Don’t forget that it’s always OK to develop your own sense of style that is unique and separate from what the fashion world determines! Stay true to yourself and let your personality — not your clothes — speak for who you are!14.What does the example of bell—bottomed blue jeans and parachute pants in Paragraph 2suggest?A.Fashion always changes.B.Stars are always influential.C.People have different dressing styles.D.Hippies and Michael Jackson are good designers.15.What causes the changes of fashions?A.Advertisements change rapidly.B.Popular culture influences people.C.Movie stars are changing over time.D.New films and shows replace the old.16.We can learn from the text that _____ .A.fashion is all about clothes.B.the author has gone out of fashion.C.clothes may separate and distance people.D.people like imitate others’ dressing style.17.What does the author mainly want to stress in the last paragraph?A.The advantages of staying unique.B.The bad effects of following fashion.C.The good influences of popular styles.D.The importance of having one’s own personality.The new study shows that we spend more time using the mobile Internet than reading newspapers or magazines. According to the European Interactive Advertising Association (EIAA), the average European spends 4.8 hours reading newspapers and magazines but 1.6 hours more using the mobile Internet a week.The EIAA questioned 15, 000 people in 15 European countries, looking at how people are using the Internet and its influence on their everyday lives. It has found that the mobile Internet is increasingly finding its way into the public awareness. Over 71 million Europeans now have Internet access on their mobiles phones. In the UK, 10 million people now access the Internet through their mobile phones and spend 6. 3 hours doing so in a week.Unsurprisingly younger generations in the UK are leading the way, with nearly half of the country’s 16-to-24-year-olds and a quarter of 25-to-34-year-olds using the mobile Internet,spending 6.5 and 6.2 hours online each week.Entertainment plays a major role in our mobile Internet lives, with one in five British people using their phones for online games, a third listening to the online radio and 39 percent watching films, TV or other videos at least once a week. One third of those using an Internet phone said they received videos, images or other multimedia on their mobile, and 61 percent said they passed on contents they received.From a communication point of view, 80 percent of those questioned agreed that the Internet had made it easier for them to stay in touch with friends and family.Alison Fennah, director of the EIAA, said the mobile Internet use had come to the point that marketers should be looking to develop strategies that connect with consumers more effectively. ‘‘Better devices as well as improved consumer motivation that start coming together in 2011 can make a great difference to extending the online experience.” Fennah said.18.How long does a European spend on the mobile Internet per week according to the EIAA?A.6. 2 hours.B.6. 4 hours.C.4. 8 hours.D.1. 6 hours.19.What do the words “doing so” mean in Paragraph 2 refer to?A.Reading papers and magazines.B.Playing computer games.C.Watching films online.D.Using the mobile Internet.20.What do people mainly use the mobile Internet for?A.Communication.B.Study.C.Amusement.D.Advertising.21.It can be known from the passage that _______.A.more than half of the young people in the UK use the mobile Internet.B.the Internet is the most effective way to stay in touch with friends and family.C.the UK has the largest number of people who use the mobile Internet in Europe. D.better devices and improved consumer motivation help extend the online experience. 22.The author wrote the passage to tell us ________.A.how to use mobile phones to surf the InternetB.newspapers and magazines will disappear soonC.mobile surfing now is more popular than readingD.how the Internet influences our daily lifeGive a little sunshine!The Council on Aging (COA) runs a telephone friendship project called the Sunshine Call Program, matching over-60s with a friendly volunteer for a daily chat over the phone.

They will then exchange phone numbers to chat on their own and reduce their isolation.What are the volunteer qualifications?V olunteers must have access to the Internet and be willing to be trained on the use of a chat app. COA will provide all supplies required to make the calls. Besides, volunteers must agree to participate in monthly meetings with other volunteers and guest speakers. All volunteers must be willing to provide a recent Criminal Record Check, the cost of which will be borne by COA.And the most important volunteer qualification is a sense of caring and a desire to help seniors in the community!If you wish to volunteer with our Sunshine Call program, never hesitate!

But you don’t. What you want is respect and admiration from other people. ____28____ It almost never does—especially from the people you want to respect and admire you.____29____ Not struggling, and not unhappy, of course. But there’s no way to learn the value of money without feeling the power of lacking it. It teaches you the difference between necessary and desirable. It’ll make you learn to enjoy what you have, fix what’s broken, and shop for a bargain. These are primary survival skills.Some people are born into families that encourage education; others are from families that are against it. Some are born into peace and wealth; others, into war and poverty. I want you to be successful, and I want you to earn it. But realize that not all success is due to hard work and being poor is not always due to laziness. ____30____Your savings rate has a little to do with how much you earn and a lot to do with how much you spend. I know a dentist who lives paycheck to paycheck, always on the edge of ruin. I know another person who has never earned more than $50,000 but saved a fortune____31____ Living with less is the most efficient way to control your financial future.Don’t listen to me if you disagree with what I’ve written. The world you grow up in will have different values and opportunities than the one I did. More importantly, you’ll learn best when you disagree with someone and then are forced to learn it yourself. On the other hand, always listen to your mother.A.I hope you’re poor at some point.B.If you do think so, you may get wrong.C.When he does, here are some suggestionsD.Your goals should be about more than money.E.You think having something expensive will bring it.F.The difference is entirely due to the way they spend.G.Keep this in mind when judging people, including yourself.四、完形填空The summer was over.

The ambitious goal came to her after she watched a documentary on plastic pollution the previous year, and she knew she couldn’t just sit by.Often, volunteers would join her in her efforts, including her grandchildren, or she would join hands with other campaigners such as Wayne Dixon, who is walking around the UK coast as an ambassador for Keep Britain Tidy.During her beach cleans, Smith was sometimes mistaken for doing community service! She said, “People don’t understand I’ve been doing this voluntarily. We should all take responsibility for picking up the litter as well as ensuring we don’t drop litter in the first place.Even before her beach cleanups, Smith had begun her first environmental campaign to eliminate plastic straws (吸管) in her city of Cornwall . To date, she has encouraged 600 local companies to stop using unnecessary plastic. In an effort to make her hometown an example for the plastic-free movement in the United Kingdom, she founded The Final Straw Cornwall in the summer of 2017. “I founded the Final Straw to try and raise awareness of the disastrous damage we are doing to our oceans from our casual consumption of single-use plastics. I feel I have a responsibility to my children and grandchildren to do something about it.” She said.Her resolution year may be over but this environmentally conscious grandma continues her quest (追求). “A lot of the rubbish I’ve picked up consists of everyday items,” said Smith. “These things are used by all of us and it is shocking to find them polluting our beautiful beaches. Please let’s try to be more thoughtful in this coming year. I’m driven to try and protect our living planet for my children and grandchildren and I will continue to do everything in my power to achieve that.”41.What led to Smith’s New Year’s resolution of cleaning her community?A.Community service.B.A film or television program.C.Various ocean protection campaigns.D.Serious pollution in her community.42.What’s people’s misunderstanding about Smith’s action?A.She was forced to do that.B.She just pretended to be caring.C.She actually did only a little work.D.She wouldn’t stick to the work for long.43.With her founding of The Final Straw Cornwall, Smith intended to ______.A.set an example to other aged peopleB.stop her local companies from producing plastic strawsC.keep her promise to her children and grandchildrenD.make people conscious of the plastic-related environmental problem44.What opinion about environmental protection did Smith hold?A.It’s everyone’s duty.B.It’s as hard as people think.C.Prevention is more important than protection.D.The younger generation don’t care about it enough.45.Which of the following best describes Smith as an environmental activist?A.Proud.B.Happy.C.Stressed.D.Determined.Back in 1930, economist John Maynard Keynes predicted that with technological change and improvements in productivity, we’d be working only 15 hours a week in the near future. But while working hours have declined by 26%, most of us still work 42.5 hours a week on average, according to Eurostat figures.One of the things Keynes underestimated is our desire to compete with our peers — a drive that makes us work more than we need to. “We don’t measure productivity by how many acres we’ve harvested, so the amount of working time becomes an indicator.” says Alex Soojung-Kim Pang.Due to computerization and globalization in the 1980s, managers could demand more of employees under the threat that jobs could be given to someone else, so the pressure increased. And we took it, overwhelmed with the pressure while shouldering the burden all the same at thecost of our health. Psychologist Barbara Killinger writes such a phenomenon in Workaholics: The Respectable Addicts.But far from delivering productivity, value, or personal fulfillment, overwork has been proven to lead to burnout, stress, poor health, etc. Nevertheless, we persisted — until the fourth Industrial Revolution came along.The fourth Industrial Revolution has accelerated the move towards automation and AI, especially for jobs with high physical proximity (接近). Economist Dr. Carl Frey predicts that at least 40% of current jobs will be lost to automation by 2050.There are exceptions. Jobs that involve complex social interactions are beyond current robot skills, such as teaching, cleaning jobs, and jobs that rely on creativity, according to Frey and Osborne.According to McKinsey, those whose work falls outside the caring, cleaning and creative fields will still work in the future, just differently. In about 60% of occupations, it’s estimated that a third of the tasks can be automated, meaning substantial changes to the way we work. A large-scale study carried out by accountancy firm PricewaterhouseCoopers predicted that over the next 20 years, although 7 million jobs will be lost to AI, 7.2 million new ones will be created as a result. So we will work in the future: we just don’t know what we’ll be doing yet.46.What do the figures in Paragraph 1 mainly indicate?A.Our working time failed to decrease as much as predicted.B.Technology keeps changing with the development of society.C.Keynes’ prediction mainly focused on productivity improvement.D.Overwork will result in fierce competition between employees.47.What might lead to the disagreement between the reality and Keynes estimation?A.People’s false sense of time.B.People’s awareness of peer competition.C.People’s ignoring the quality of their jobs.D.People’s pressure to increase productivity.48.How did most employees respond to the managers’ pressure in the 1980s?A.They argued for fairness.B.They devoted more to their work.C.They tried to escape shouldering the burden.D.They emphasized the importance of their health.49.Which of the following situations will appear under the influence of automation and AI?A.Counseling service will be paid less attention to.B.More and more cleaners become unemployed in cities.C.A majority of teachers will be replaced by robots.D.The types of jobs with high physical proximity will be transformed.50.What is McKinsey’s attitude towards automation and AI?A.Worried.B.Hopeful.C.Objective.D.Indifferent.Yesterday, I was standing in line at a store and the song Please Come to Boston which was quite popular when I was in high school, came on in the background. I hadn’t heard it for years. Suddenly, I was overcome by flashbacks of people and places linked to that song from earlier stages of my life.It seems people tend to be extremely nostalgic (怀旧的) about the music they listened to when they were young. Psychological research has shown that autobiographical memories (life experiences) from certain time periods are remembered better than others. One obvious phenomenon is the “reminiscence bump” (记忆隆起): the fact that people tend to recall memories from when they were 10 to 30 years old much better. That’s because this period contains many novel and self-defining life experiences such as graduation and marriage. Biological changes may also boost the effectiveness of our memories from this period.In our experiment, we investigated the presence of the “musical reminiscence bump” in a group of 470 adults aged 18 to 82. Our aim was to examine how a person’s age when a song was popular affected three related but distinct concepts: the degree to which the song was associated with autobiographical memories, how familiar the song was and how much they liked the song. Participants were shown the titles and artists of 111 pop songs that had featured in the charts across a 65-year period (1950~2015). After a given time, they were asked to complete the measurement.We discovered music during one’s adolescence was rated as more familiar. In addition, we found some songs were preferred regardless of a participant’s age. For instance, we saw a generalincrease in how much people liked songs from the late 1970s to early 1980s, even in participants who weren’t yet born during that time period. Examples of songs we used from this time period include Hotel California by the Eagles.Music can undeniably cause nostalgia. For example, advertisers want to elicit (引出) a nostalgic reaction from a certain group of consumers. And they should notice doctors who aim to reconnect patients suffering from memory loss with self-defining memories from their pasts can also take advantage of nostalgia.51.What does the author want to imply through his own experience at a store?A.His taste for music in high school.B.His way of killing the boring queuing time.C.The link between sales and background music.D.Music’s ability to waken memories from the past.52.What can be concluded about the reminiscence bump?A.It helps improve our childhood memories)B.It still remains a mystery to modern science.C.Events occurring during it are more memorable.D.It explains why some have a better memory than others.53.What were participants required to do in the study?A.Make a list of their favorite songs and artists.B.Provide ratings of three music-related questions.C.Learn to sing some songs released in the past 65 years.D.Compare the features of pop songs from different periods.54.What did the researchers find in their experiment?A.The Eagles were a representative band in the late 20th century.B.Pop music stars’ adolescence had a great impact on their works.C.The late 1970s and early 1980s were the peak of music creation.D.Pop music from certain time periods was favored by different generations.55.What can be inferred from the last paragraph?A.Musical nostalgia has practical applications in life.B.All doctors are responsible for treating nostalgia.C.Too much nostalgia may lead to memory loss to a degree.D.Advertisers are good at analyzing consumers’ musical tastes.阅读短文,并按照题目要求用英语回答问题。

Some apps that can help students better prepare for exams.B. The influence of our study habits on our exam results.C. Several tips on how to throw off anxiety before exams.D. Details of some apps that are helpful to improve learning skills.BIn the space of just two years the app Douyin, created by Beijing-based company ByteDance, has gathered more than half a billion users — around 40% of them are outside China-who share short videos of themselves lip-syncing (假唱), cooking dancing or just being silly. What sets ByteDance apart is its success in the social media category, which is controlled by Facebook, Twitter and Snap — all Western companies.ByteDance calls itself an artificial intelligence company. It uses machine learning and algorithms(演算法)to figure out what people like and give them more of what they want to see. On Douyin, people can edit and beautify 15-second videos before posting them online. The app has even spawned (引发) a phrase to describe a kind of behaviour of people glued to their customized feeds: “shua Douyin” or “scrolling through Douyin”. Last year, the company released TikTok, the overseas version of Douyin. ByteDance’s growing video empire has made it the world’s fifth biggest app maker. ByteDance says TikTok and Douyin together have more than 500 million monthly active users.Investors(投资者)like ByteDance because its hundreds of millions of users attract a lot of advertising money. The video apps are lucrative because they attract a lot of users in their teens and 20s who are more generous with the money. ByteDance also makes moneythrough income sharing deals. People on TikTok, for example, can buy digital coins to give to other people on the app like throwing money in a performer’s tip jar. Byte Dance takes a cut of those earnings.ByteDance’s founder and CEO is Zhang Yiming, a 35-year-old former Microsoft employee. People who have worked with Zhang describe him as someone who thinks deeply about technology and spends much of his free time writing code.Like Facebook and Twitter, ByteDance is also battling fake news and inappropriate content. ByteDance promises to add more employees to review content.24.How many overseas users does Douyin have?A. Under 20 million.B. About 200 million.C. Around 400 million.D. Over half a billion.25. Why is ByteDance a success?A. It has controlled Facebook, Twitter and Snap .B. Its app challenges the Western companies’ rule.C. It invented the social media app initially in the world.D.

By its artificial intelligence.27. What is the social media apps’ common trouble?A. How to keep their content positiveB. What to do with fierce competition.C. Where to find much new investment.D. When to introduce their new version.CIn a recent green paper, the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences planned to reform the national working schedule in 2030 to nine hours a day and four days a week.The green paper follows such logic (逻辑): As China's production rate continues rising,it is possible to let people work less time. instead of 40 hours, in which case people can rest three days a week. If implemented, the new four-day working schedule would doubtlessly help to accumulate more social wealth and promote consumption.When people rest three days a week, they can travel for longer distances and spend more money on their trips.A glance at the past will also show the trend of fewer working hours per week. The number of working days every week has been reduced from six days to five and a half days then to five days.However, on the social network microblog, the most common response to the report is “No, please don’t”. Why is that? The answer lies in their anxieties about an uncertain future. As capital gets increasingly accumulated ordinary workers, blue-collar workers and white-collar workers alike, face the sad and cold fact that unemployment is likely to rise. Many people face the risk of losing their jobs to artificial intelligence and automation. That’s why many people are rather worried about their future. To solve this, the key lies in promoting the idea of wrest". The right to rest and the right to labor must be protected together so that people can be more certain about their future.In March and April this year, a New Zealand firm ran an experiment which reduced the workweek to 32 hours from 40 hours and its employees worked four days a week while being paid for five days. The experiment was so successful that it hoped to make the change permanent. In Sweden, a trial in the city of Gothenburg required a six-hour day, and officials found employees completed the same amount of work or even more. But when France required a 35-hour workweek in 2000, businesses complained of reduced competitiveness and increased hiring costs.28. How long will the working hours be shortened by in a week for Chinese workers from 2030?A. 4 hours.B. 8 hours.C. 36 hours.D. 40 hours.29. Which of the following best explains the word “implemented” in bold type in paragraph 2?A. Put off.B. Made up.C. Carried out.D. Turned down.30. What is most microbloggers’ attitude to the four-day working schedule?A. Doubtful.B. Favorable.C. Indifferent.D. Opposed.31. Which sentence can best summarize the text?A. A glance shows the trend of fewer working hours per week.B. Many countries intend to implement the schedule of working 4 days a week.C. What workers will be doing in 2030 in China.D. The 4-day workweek plan brings job loss fears to many people.DThe longest total lunar eclipse (月全食) of the21st century takes place this Friday, July 27, 2018. The “blood moon” eclipse will last 1 hour and 43 minutes, during which Earths natural satellite will turn a deep red or reddish-brown color. From start to finish, the entire event will last nearly 4 hours. Observers in much of Africa, the Middle East, Southern Asia and the Indian Ocean region will get an eyeful of the eclipse, given cooperative weather.July’s total lunar eclipse occurs on the same day the planet Mars reaches its opposition, when it will shine at its best in the night sky. This month, Mars will be at its closest to Earth since 2003. When Mars becomes the brightest, it will reach that closest point to Earth on July 31.The moon turns deep red or reddish-brown during eclipses, Instead of going completely dark. That’s because some of the sunlight going through Earths atmosphere is bent around the edge of our planet and falls onto the moon’s surface. The Earth's atmosphere also spreads more shorter- wavelength light, in colors such as green or blue; what's left is the longer-wavelength light, the redder end of the spectrum (光谱).“What controls the duration of the lunar eclipse is the position of the moon as it passes through the Earth’s shadow,” Petro, the project scientist for NASA’s Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter (LRO) mission, said. The darkest part of Earth's shadow is called the umbra. You can picture the umbra as cone(圆锥体)extending from Earth in the opposite direction to the sun. Petro explained, “The moon can either graze (擦过) the cone, or go right through the middle, which gets a longer-time eclipse. This time, the moon is passing closer to the center of that cone, and it’s therefore a little bit longer.” Additionally, the moon will be at a farther point from Earth along its orbit. That means the moon will appear slightly smaller in the sky and will take a little bit longer to go through Earth’s shadow.32. Which of the following people might not see the whole total lunar eclipse?A. Indians.B. Turks.C. Europeans.D. Egyptians.33. Why does the moon turn red during eclipses?A. The sunlight shines on the moon’s surface.B. The longer-wavelength light is refracted to the moon.C. The shorter-wavelength light falls on the moon.D. The sunlight is bent around the edge of the moon.34. The duration of the lunar eclipse lies on______.A. whether the moon is behind the sun.B. how far the moon is away from the sun.C. where the moon goes through the umbra.D. when the moon passes through the Earth’s shadow.35. Which can be the most suitable title of the text?A. The Longest Total Lunar Eclipse.B. Earths Natural Satellite.C. The Blood Moon Eclipse.D. The Closest Mars to Earth.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。
