21、阅读下列短文,从每题所给的四个选项A、B、C和D中,选出最佳选项。
The media provides us with the observations and experiences from which we build up our personal understanding of the world and how it works.Much of our view of reality is based on media messages.The media,to a great extent,gives us our sense of reality.
Freedom of the media carries with it certain responsibilities of honesty,fairness,accuracy and account-ability.The power of the media to create and destroy human values comes with great responsibility.
The media is powerful in the political system,having great influence on politics and on forming social change.The power is to decide who will communicate what to whom.Television can greatly influence the election of a national leader on the basis of his or her image.
Professional journalists do have a code of ethics(道德标准).Journalists make a judgment about what's safe and appropriate to report,which often involves difficult choices.German sociologist Max Weber distinguishes between“ethics of conviction”and“ethics of responsibility”.According to the latter(ethics of responsibility),journalists must take into account the foreseeable consequences of their reporting,and the impact it will have on society.The former,on the other hand,asks journalists to tell the truth,regardless of the consequences.According to Weber,both ideas of ethics should be considered.
Without doubt,information is power,and the big owners of the mass media are very powerful people.Television and radio stations,newspapers,magazines,and websites are,largely,owned and controlled by profit-making businesses.It is not strange that their ideas will get promoted at times.
It is my view that such power and responsibility should never be left in the hands of a few.I believe it is our responsibility as concerned citizens to make sure we are not merely passive viewers,readers or listeners.Together we can have a huge influence on the media by making our views known.
【1】What's the first paragraph mainly about?
A.Responsibilities of the media.
B.Influence of the media.
C.History of the media.
D.Problems of the media.
【2】We can learn from the third paragraph that ________.
A.the media is more interested in politics than other fields
B.forming social change is the main duty of the media
C.the great power of the media is controlled by political figures
D.the media can affect politics by forming political figures' images
【3】Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage?
A.The mass media should be owned by the government.
B.The media industry has developed into a new age in recent years.
C.In most cases,journalists are more powerful than the owners of the media.
D.The media tends to promote the ideas of their owners sometimes.
22、 These days, young people in some English-speaking countries are speaking a strange language, especially when communicating on social media.
Look at these words chosen by The Washington Post: “David Bowie dying is totes tradge” and “When Cookie hugged Jamal it made me totes emosh.” Or this sentence: “BAE, let me know if you stay in tonight.”
What on earth do they mean? Well, “totes” is a short form of “totally.” Similarly, “tradge” means “tragic” and “emosh” means “emotional.” It seems that, for millennials (千禧一代), typing in this form is not only quick but trendy.
As you can see, much millennial slang (俚语) is formed by so-called “totesing”—the systematic abbreviation (缩写) of words. The trend might have started with “totally” becoming “totes,” but it has now spread to many other English words.
The origins of other millennial slang are more complex than “totesing.” “Bae,” for example, has been widely used by African-Americans for years. It can be an expression of closeness with one’s romantic partner or, for someone without romantic connection yet. After pop singer Pharrell used the word in his work, “bae” became mainstream.
Some people might think millennial slang lowers the value of the English language, but Melbourne University linguist Rosey Billington doesn’t agree. She says when people are able to use a language in a creative way, they show that they know the language rules well enough to use words differently. Two other linguists, Lauren Spradlin and Taylor Jones, share the same view. The two analyzed hundreds of examples of totes-speak and discovered totesing has complex roots.
It isn’t simply an adult version of baby talk, nor a clever way to minimize your word count. Rather, it is a highly organized system that relies on a speaker’s mastery of English pronunciation. It is about sounds, follows sound system of English and has strict rules.
【1】Which of the following best explains the underlined part in Paragraph 3?
A.Creative and fresh. B.Flexible and practical.
C.Swift and romantic. D.Time-saving and fashionable.
【2】Why is “Bae” mentioned in Paragraph 5?
A.To analyze how it came into being.
B.To explain why it has been widely used.
C.To introduce some other millennial slang.
D.To show some millennial slang has complex origins.
【3】Which of the following about millennial slang is true according to the passage?
A.It has no specific rules.
B.It is usually used casually.
C.It requires a good command of English.
D.It’s simply a way to reduce word count.
【4】What is the best title for the text?
A.A Language is Widely Used
B.Linguists Approve of Totesing
C.English Has Greatly Improved
D.E-slang Catches on Among Youth
23、The days of stopping at one store and buying everything in one location are long gone. We’ve put together a list of items you shouldn’t buy at the grocery store and we show you where to get them.
Tuna
Essentially a product from Chicken of the Sea, 5ounce cans of Van Camp’s Chunk White Albacore Tuna in Water are available for $1 per can at Dollar Tree. A similar product in the grocery store costs 59 cents more per can.
Olive Oil
Is it really worth buying expensive olive oil?We don’t think so. This 68ounce Iberia Premium Blend Extra Virgin Olive Oil sells at Target for $9.69. Reviewers love this lessexpensive alternative saying it’s great for everything. Compare it with a standard 17ounce size of Bertolli Extra Virgin Olive Oil — much less oil, selling for roughly the same $9.99 when it’s not on sale.
Vitamins
You might not realize the money you can reap on vitamins simply by buying them at a different store. A 100count bottle of vitamin D softgels can run to $11.29 at Walmart. A 180count bottle of Trader Joe’s vitamin D 1000 iu softgels is only $11.99. That’s almost double the amount.
Storage Containers
For storing food, children’s supplies, or whatever your household needs may be, there’s nothing better than plastic storage containers. But why pay through the nose for them?Albertsons has two half cup Rubbermaid EasyFind Lids food storage containers at $ 6.89. But you can buy six of those from Target for $7.99—four more for about a dollar.
Socks
Dollar Tree has a good selection of men’s, women’s, and children’s socks. Women’s minicrew socks come in a threecount pack for $1. A threecount of similar socks at Albertson’s will cost $ 6.59 and there are not many kinds.
【1】How much does a can of similar Tuna in the grocery store probably cost?
A.$0.95.
B.$1.
C.$1.59.
D.$0.41.
【2】You can get a better deal on ________ at Trade Joe’s.
A.vitamins
B.olive oil
C.storage containers
D.socks
【3】Who might be the target readers of the passage?
A.Reviewers.
B.Housewives.
C.Store owners.
D.Health experts.
24、"Sorry, but I don't agree with you ..."This is usually followed by unbearable silence and angry tears. I've always found it difficult to disagree with someone, because I don't want to lose a friend. I've found it even harder to accept it when someone disagrees with me, because my ego(自尊心)is hurt.
Before the other person gets a chance to explain why she disagrees with me, my usual response would be," If you aren't able to see my point of view, then what you think isn't worth my time or consideration, either." But now I've come to realize that when a friend disagrees with me, sometimes she is simply saying, "I don't agree with the way things are done." She still respects me as a person, and is only pointing out a better way to look at a matter. However, there may be times when my friend disagrees with me because I'm against the truth. That's when need to listen to what she says.
I've learned that one way to help my friend is for me to be open and honest with the other to voice my thoughts and listen to the other carefully. While we can't control how a person will respond to our views, we must learn to disagree with our friends in love. We will never feel that we are better than the other person.And that will help us to be less emotional, and more objective in the way we express our opinions.In the same way, we can also stay open to feedback(反馈)from others,knowing that our friends may be correcting us in love.
Good friendships build each other up, sometimes through disagreements and honest opinions. Though I don't like being disagreed with, I'm starting to see the value of such disagreements.
【1】The author has found it difficult to disagree with someone because .
A.he is a friendly person
B.he usually hides his ideas
C.he has no mind of his own
D.he wants to keep the friendship

A.be unhappy
B.argue with the friend
C.break up with the friend
D.explain things calmly
【3】The author will listen to a friend when .
A.he is against the truth
B.he doesn't tell the truth
C.he is respected by a friend
D.he does things in the wrong way
【4】What does the author mainly talk about in the text?
A.How to keep friendship.
B.How to avoid hurting a friend.
C.How to express disagreements.
D.How to deal with disagreements.

“It's vastness,” she offered. “That vastness when you ________on the mountains overlooking the desert—you can________how little you are in comparison with the world.________, you feel that the possibilities are limitless.”
That was it. That was the feeling I'd had ever since I'd first seen the mountains of my new home. Again, my________would change with just a few simple words.
“Would you like to come to my home tomorrow? Someone should teach you which plant you should and shouldn't touch.”
