24、   In the 2lst century people often join a“group chat”on Wechat, share videos on Douyin and give opinions on Facebook. We live in a world that has accepted the social media(媒体)wholeheartedly. Being the international common language, English has lent itself willingly to be used on social media, experiencing many small but important changes during the process.What are the effects of the social media on the English language?

♦ Old words but new meanings

When someone wants to post something on his“wall”, why do we think of the homepage of his Facebook, and not the walls in his house? This is the magic of social media. We know“friend”is a noun, but now it's also used as a verb. “friended”and“unfriended”mean the process of adding or deleting someone from your list of friends.

♦__________________________

Social media has invented new words like“selfie”or“emoji”to describe the new things. The most famous of these words perhaps is “google”which is used more than the old-fashioned simple word“search”.Generally speaking, a new word should be in use for at least 10 years before being entered in the Oxford English Dictionary. However, the dictionary officially included the word“tweet”.

♦Introducing acronyms(缩略词)

LOL (Laugh Out Loud). OMG (Oh My God) and BRB(Be Right Back)are examples of acronyms, the same as IDK(I Don’t Know)and TTYL(Talk To You Later). We need them to be short in length on social media, so we use acronyms to take the place of these phrases.

Social media is without doubt here to stay. In the future, it's likely to develop to a greater degree and take the English language along with it on the road of development.

【1】What does the first paragraph mainly tell us?

A.Social media can be easily found in our daily life

B.It's exciting for everyone to live in the 21st century

C.Social media has a big influence on the English language

D.It's necessary for teenagers to make full use of social media

【2】Which of the following can be put in_________________?

A.Creating short phrases B.Introducing new words

C.Showing simple expressions D.Keeping old but necessary words

【3】What can we infer from the passage?

A.TBH can be the acronym of To Be Honest.

B.English is becoming more and more important.

C.It's a long way for social media to become perfect

D.Wechat, Douyin and Facebook are popular in China

26、   Have you ever noticed the black and white bars on a book？Do you know what they are used for?

They are bar-codes（条形码）used in most products. If you go to a supermarket，you can see almost every product with a bar-code on it. Bar-codes have information about the product, such as name and production date.It's an easy and convenient way to know about the products. Just scan the bar-code and everything is clear.

The first use of a bar-code in a supermarket checkout system was on a pack of American Wrigley Company chewing gum in 1974.Beyond supermarkets, bar-codes are needed everywhere:for renting cars, for luggage checks on a plane, for parcels(包裹) you send. Life would be rather difficult without bar-codes.Most of our things would get lost in the post.

Bar-codes change as well.Bar-codes in the past were 1-D(one-dimensional空间), but now there are 2-D bar-codes,such as QR code.Since 2009, QR has been used on Chinese train tickets. People can enter stadiums,cinemas and theaters by holding certain types of bar-codes.

With these small codes, life is getting much easier for us.

If you find these bar-code things boring, a bar-code building might be more up your street. In St Petersburg, Russia, there is a building designed like a bar-code.It looks strange, but it's actually a shopping mall. There are games too. Bar-code Monsters is a mobile phone game. You have to scan bar-codes and find the monsters!

【1】Bar-codes were first used in ________.

A.1974 in the UK B.1974 in the US C.2009 in China D.2009 in Russia

【2】The underlined word “scan”might mean “________” in Chinese.

A.复印 B.展示 C.描写 D.扫描

【3】From Paragraph 3 and 4, we can learn that ________.

A.bar-codes are very useful in our daily life B.our things will get lost without bar-codes

C.bar-codes make our life rather difficult D.we can’t live without bar-codes

【4】Which of the following is NOT true about the bar-code building?

A.It looks like a bar-code. B.It’s in St Petersburg, Russia.

C.It’s used as a shopping mall. D.Its name is Bar-code Monsters.

【5】The best title of this passage is________.

A.From 1-D Bar-codes to 2-D Bar-codes B.Why Bar-codes are Black and White

C.Small Codes that Make a Big Difference D.What if the World Doesn’t Have a Bar-code
