22、 TikTok is a fun, silly place. To scroll through(浏览)it is to take in a fantastic amount of people dancing and lip-syncing(对 口 型). There's a video of Cameron Diaz s wine drinking challenge, a very polite kid named Grey, and a clip from Taylor Swift's "Love Story" that you'll hear way too much. It's addictive and ridiculous.
But the platform has been in the news lately for reasons relating to privacy and security. What you're hearing in the news may force you to wonder if the app is safe to use? The short answer is that it's probably completely fine for most people to be on TikTok, as long as they keep in mind that, just as with other social media apps, it hoovers up data.
Platforms like TikTok and Instagram collect personal information from users with different levels of transparency(透明度)，points out Shuman Ghosemajumder, an internet security company. The first level is information that you're clearly aware you're sharing with them. This includes the email or account you used to sign up for the app, and of course the content you actively share on the platform.
The next level is data you may not be aware an app is collecting—such as details like your IP address and information about your device and its operating system. TikTok says in its privacy policy that it is also “scanning and analyzing” the messages you send over the platform.
Finally, the third category of data collection is the criminal kind which experts search carefully apps to find. But Ghosemajumder says it's extremely difficult for an app like TikTok to hide that. Has TikTok done that? Ghosemajumder says he knows of no evidence that it has.
Let common sense be your guide if you're using an app like TikTok. If you don't want thousands of people to watch you dancing in your living room with your family, then don't upload a video that shows just that. Ultimately, Ghosemajumder doesn't see much daylight between TikTok and its competitors. "There's no fundamental difference in using TikTok versus using Instagram," Ghosemajumder reflects.
【1】Which of the following may belong to the third category of data collection?
A.Information about your phone. B.Military information for government.
C.A video of yourself uploaded to TikTok. D.Your message to friends over the platform.
【2】What is Ghosenmajumder's attitude to the use of TikTok?
A.Doubtful. B.Supportive. C.Objective. D.Disapproving.
【3】Why is Instagram mentioned in the passage?
A.To show that TikTok is as safe as Instagram.
B.To show that TikTok is better than Instagram.
C.To show that Instagram is different from TikTok.
D.To show that TikTok and Instagram are both popular.
23、Dear Laura,
How are you? It has been several weeks since I heard from you. I have been missing you a lot these days, so I think I should find out how you are doing. Hope this letter finds you in the best of health. Things here are fine, though they seem to be a little boring now without you.
Since school started, I have made some new friends who are great company. But I keep remembering what a great time we had during our summer vacations. Those long rides in the woods ,often shopping at the mall and our video game matches were all so much fun. Things here are a little different, and it is going to take me some time to get used to them.
I have some great professors who make classes very interesting. I actually look forward to doing my homework for these classes. However , there are some really boring science classes that I just don't seem to enjoy. They all sound so difficult, but I have to learn them. A few years later, I am going drop these subjects forever! The good thing is that all the friends I've made feel just the same way about these science classes.
How have things been with you? How about your school and all those great friends you keep talking about? Did you join that guitar class you wanted to so badly? Look forward to hearing from you.
By the way ,Dad has bought me the latest video game controller. It is really amazing! Waiting for you to come back here so that we can have some more video game matches!
Yours truly,
Aaron

24、 In 1845, a deadly disease struck the farms of Ireland, killing all the Lumper potato plants. In another place or time, the death of a single crop species might not have been so important. But in Ireland, in 1845, people depended almost on the potato for food. The death of one species caused a terrible famine. Now, some scientists are worried that such a famine could happen again.
Over the centuries, farmers have discovered thousands of different species of food crops. Some can be grown in very hot or cold climates. Others are not affected by certain diseases. However, you won’t find many of these species in your local supermarket. To feed the seven billion people on Earth, most farmers today are growing only species of plants that are easy to produce in large numbers. Meanwhile, thousands of other species are becoming extinct.
For example, in the Philippines, there were once thousands of varieties of rice; now fewer than 100 are grown there. Experts believe that over the past century, we have allowed more than half of the world’s food varieties to disappear.
One solution to this problem is to collect and store the seeds (种子) of as many different plant varieties as we can before they disappear. The idea was first suggested by Russian scientist Nikolay Vavilov. In the 1920s and 30s, he collected around 400,000 seeds. More recently, others are continuing the work he began.
In the U.S. state of Iowa, Diane Ott Whealy wanted to protect historic plant varieties. She started a place called Heritage Farm, where people can store and trade seeds.
More importantly, the people at Heritage Farm don’t just store the seeds; they plant them. By doing this, they are reintroducing foods into the marketplace that haven’t been grown for years. These food species are not just special in flavor. They also offer farmers food solutions for the future, from the past.
【1】What caused many people to die in Ireland in 1845?
A.Food pollution.
B.Poisonous potatoes.
C.An incurable disease.
D.Lack of enough food.
【2】What does the underlined word “Others” in Paragraph 2 refer to?
A.Species of food crops. B.Potato plants. C.Farmers. D.Seeds.
【3】Why does the author mention the Philippines?
A.To show many food species have disappeared.
B.To explain how to increase food production.
C.To stress the importance of food diversity.
D.To prove the necessity of growing rice.
【4】Which statement would Diane Ott Whealy probably agree with?
A.It’s dangerous to grow new food species.
B.The work started by Nikolay Vavilov was useless.
C.Storing seeds and planting them are both important.
D.Foods grown from older seeds are cheaper but taste bad.
