21、 Instagram is a social networking app made for sharing photos and videos from a smartphone. However, some people argue that Instagram is harmful to teens.
Essena O’Neill seemed to have a perfect life --- at least online. The Australian teen had 500,000 Instagram followers. Her Internet fame led to a modeling contract. Companies paid her to show their clothing in her photos.
But in November 2015, Essena, then 18, shut down her Instagram account. She cut off more than 2000 photos. “I’ve spent the majority of my teenage life being attracted to social media,” she wrote. “ I’m leaving Instagram.”
Essena left a few photos online, and told the truth behind the photos she created. For example, she didn’t eat all day before taking a picture in a bikini(比基尼泳装). She took that photo 100 times to make sure her stomach looked perfect. “Social media is not real life!” she says now.
Seeing perfect-looking Instagram photos can make teens feel like they don’t meet the standard of beauty. And if your photos don’t get many “likes”, you might take it personally. Even Essena worried all the time about what others thought of her. Trying to appear perfect online made her feel alone. One day, she wrote, “I had never been more miserable.”
Not everyone thinks that Instagrem is harmful, though. Some people say it might even be good for teens. Why? Unlike many ads and magazines, Instagram includes photos of all different kinds of people. That means you’re more likely to see a photo of someone who looks like you.
Plus, studies show that many people who use social media feel more connected to friends. And social media users are more likely to know about big events in the lives of friends and family. So maybe it’s OK to love Instagram as long as you love yourself too.
【1】According to the text, Instagram brought Essena ______.
A.a healthy lifestyle B.fame and money
C.many true friends D.a perfect teenage life
【2】Why did Essena shut down her Instagram account at age 18? ______
A.Because she was too busy. B.Because her shape changed.
C.Because she faced great pressure. D.Because her photos were deleted
【3】What’s the author’s attitude towards Instagram? ________
A.Worried B.Curious C.Surprised D.Supportive
【4】What does the text mainly discuss? _______
A.Should you be on a diet to look perfect?
B.Should you make friends on social media?
C.Should you give others “likes” on Instagram?
D.Should you shut down your Instagram account?
22、In spite of the uncertainty of the economy, the movie industry has been stricken by a box-office outburst. Suddenly it seems as if everyone is going to the movies, with ticket sales this year up 17.5 percent, to $1.7 billion.
And it is not just because ticket prices are higher. Attendance has also jumped, by nearly 16 percent. If that pace continues through the year, it would amount to the biggest box-office increase in at least two decades.
Americans, for the moment, just want to hide in a very dark place. People want to forget their troubles, and they want to be with other people. Helping feed the outburst is the mix of movies, which have been more audience-friendly in recent months as the studios have tried to adjust after the discouraging sales of more serious films.
As she stood in line at the 18-screen Bridge theater complex here on Thursday to buy weekend tickets for “Jonas Brothers: The 3D Concert Experience,” Angel Hernandez was not thinking much about escaping reality. Instead, Ms. Hernandez, a Los Angeles parking lot attendant and mother of four young girls, was focused on one very specific reality: her wallet.
“Spending hundreds of dollars to take them to Disneyland is ridiculous right now,” she said. “For $60 and some candy money I can still be a good mom and give them a little fun.”
A lot of parents may have been thinking the same thing Friday, as “Jonas Brothers” sold out more than 800 theaters, and was expected to sell a powerful $25 million or more in tickets.
The film industry appears to have had a hand in its recent good luck. Over the last year or two, studios have released movies that are happier, scarier or just less depressing than what came before. After poor results for a rush of serious dramas built around the Middle East, Hollywood got back to comedies.
【1】Which of the following is not a reason for the improvement of the movie industry?
A. A growing number of people are going to the cinema.
B. People are richer with the development of economy.
C. More comedies are made than serious films.
D. People have to pay more to watch a movie.
【2】Ms. Hernandez purchased the movie tickets because ________.
A. she tried to escape reality
B. she was a crazy movie fan
C. she was fond of Disneyland
D. she wanted to please her kids
【3】According to the text, which of the following number is not used to describe the shooting up of the movie industry?
A. 17.5% B. $1.7 billion
C. $60 D. $25 million
【4】The passage is developed mainly by ________.
A. presenting the effect and analyzing the causes
B. following the order of time
C. describing problems and drawing a conclusion
D. making comparison of ideas
23、Even as Google plans to test its fleet (车队) of self-driving cars on public roads this summer, its business model remains a bit of a mystery. By 2025, as many as 250,000 self-driving vehicles could be sold each year globally, according to a study by an industry research firm.
“Vehicles that can take anyone from A to B at the push of a button could transform mobility for millions of people,” said Chris Urmson, director of Google’s self-driving car project. For now, Google has no plans to sell any of its self-driving cars. They are strictly for research. But they will hit public roads this summer near Google’s headquarters in Mountain View, California. Previous testing has taken place only on closed courses.
The cars are built to operate without a steering wheel, accelerator (油门) or brake pedal. “Our software and sensors do all the work,” Urmson said. “The vehicles will be very basic — we want to learn from them and adapt them as quickly as possible — but they will take you where you want to go at the push of a button.” The prototype (雏形) is the first of a 100-car fleet the tech giant is building.
In the long run, Urmson sees a future of safer roads — the majority of auto accidents are caused by human error — and fewer traffic jams. Robotic cars could also shuttle people who can’t drive because of age or illness.
Google has said that self-driving cars could launch new business models in which people buy the use of vehicles they don’t own. The company has already tested other types of self-driving cars on public streets, including modified Lexus sport-utility vehicles, under a special permit program by the California Department of Motor Vehicles that requires a human driver at the controls.
The state has issued six other companies permits to operate such cars, including Delphi, Mercedes-Benz, Volkswagen, Tesla, Bosch and Nissan. The vehicles that will be tested on open roads this summer will have removable steering wheels, accelerators and brake pedals to allow “safety drivers” to take control if needed.
【1】According to Chris Urmson, __________.
A. self-driving cars can give driving orders to humans
B. self-driving cars are specially designed for the elderly
C. software and sensors are vital for self-driving cars
D. ordinary vehicles will be replaced by self-driving cars
【2】Paragraph 4 is meant to tell us that __________.
A. many traffic accidents are caused by human error
B. some people can’t drive because of illness or age
C. Urmson has promised to create safer roads in the future
D. self-driving cars will probably help to make safer roads and decrease traffic jams
【3】The underlined word “issued” in the last paragraph can probably be replaced by__________.
A. given B. claimed
C. awarded D. prohibited
【4】What’s the author’s attitude towards self-driving cars?
A. Objective. B. Indifferent.
C. Subjective. D. Favorable.
24、As life expectancy increases nowadays, the average person lives well beyond the age of retirement. As a result, the elderly make up an ever-increasing percentage of society, which makes it more important than ever for a real effort to be made in improving the lives of senior citizens.
One way to deal with the situation would be to ensure that the elderly have enough money on which to live. Obviously, when a person stops working, they still require a source of income to cover their basic needs such as food, accommodation and heating. A clear solution to the problem is for the government to make sure that the state pension is adequate for these needs.
Steps should also be taken to overcome the health problems the elderly face. The government should also provide access to the best health care available, which may necessitate paying for residential homes where the elderly can have round-the-clock nursing, or, at the very least, providing medication free of charge to all people over a certain age.
The lives of old people could be improved if attempts were made to address the problem of social isolation. If we organised trips for the elderly to community centres, visits from social workers their problem of loneliness can be reduced a lot which marks the lives of so many old people living alone and far from their families.
One final suggestion, which would help enormously, is to change the attitude of the community towards its older members, who are all too often seen as a burden on society and dismissed as having little to do with modern life. We need to be taught from an early age to respect the views of old people, and appreciate their broader experience of life. This would help society as a whole, and encourage appreciation of the role that old people can still play today.
【1】What can be inferred from Paragraph 3?
A. All the elderly can enjoy free medication.
B. The nurses can take good care of the elderly.
C. The elderly are in face of health problems.
D. The health care available to the elderly is good.
【2】The underlined word “address” in Paragraph 4 probably means_________.
A. find out
B. deal with
C. put down
D. pick up
【3】 What factors affected the old people’s life?
a. the state pension
b. the basic needs
c. the attitude of the community
d. the experience of life
e. social isolation
f. medical care
A. a, b, c, d
B. b ,c ,d ,e
C. c ,d ,e, f
D. a, c, e, f
【4】 According to the last suggestion, the old people_________.
A. should be respected by all of us
B. have to gather more life experience
C. may be regarded as our heavy burden
D. must change their attitude to the community
