21、With the development of apps, social media has seemingly revolutionized the way we travel. Now, young people primary travel inspiration comes from social media. Instead of choosing their destination from a selection in a catalogue at travel agent like before, they scroll(滚动) through online posts in search of that ideal location.
When it comes to planning the perfect holiday, social media has become a huge factor for many young people today. Everybody wants to return home with an album full of artistic and “instagramable” photos that show off their trips. The best way to find that desired “post-able” holiday destination is now through social media itself. Whether it is viewing a friend’s recent travel post, or a photo directly from a travel account, social media inspires the desire to explore new places for so many of its users.
Travel companies now also use social media as part of their own marketing strategies. The majority of airlines, tour companies, hotels and other travel-related businesses have their own Instagram, Face book and Twitter pages to increase brand awareness. One of the leading marketing strategies is the use of the social influenced. Research shows that 70% of teens trust influences more than traditional celebrities --- in 2018, 1.6 billion were funnelled into sponsored influenced posts on Instagram alone; and 63 % of 18-24- year-old Instagram users follow travel influenced account.
However, as with many aspects of social media, there were obvious disadvantaged to this travel revolution. It could be argued that the obsession with documenting and sharing your travel adventures online distracts from being present and truly enjoying the experience. Our motives to travel seem to have shifted away from a strong desire to travel and have become more ego centric(自我为中心的), travelling now for the sake of likes and follows. This draws away from some of the most important elements of travel.
In general, social media has revolutionized the way we travel, providing tonnes of inspiration and new opportunities. We should be grateful for the global awareness it has given us, and the insight into new places and different means of travel. At the same time, it is equally important not to allow the posts we see to affect our self-image or reflect on our own experiences any differently.
【1】How did people get their primary travel inspiration in the past?
A．By appreciating photos from a travel account.
B．By viewing friends’ recent travel post.
C．By consulting a travel agent.
D．By strolling through online posts.
【2】Which of the following is right according to the text?
A．Using Internet celebrities is a very effective marketing strategy.
B．Most teenagers trust traditional celebrities more than social influences.
C．The obsession with sharing travel experiences helps to enhance the travel experience.
D．The travel inspiration of young people mainly comes from the tourism advertisements.
【3】What is the author’s attitude to the travel revolution?
A．Skeptical.
B．Objective.
C．Worried.
D．Disapproving.
【4】Which of the following is a suitable title for the text?
A．Ways to enhance the travel experiences.
B．Elements of modern travel.
C．Inspiration and opportunities from social media.
D．The impact of social media on travel.
22、Elephants On The Move
Over the past couple weeks, like many, I have been keeping close tabs on the wandering Asian elephants in southwest Yunnan Province.
【1】 A total of 144 emergency personnel and police have been deployed, as well as 139 dump trucks, 22 bulldozers, 70 emergency vehicles and 13 drones capable of real-time surveillance. More than 3,400 people from 1,329 households have been relocated, and 1 ton of food has been handed out.
To divert the elephants from densely populated towns and cities, local people have erected barriers in some places and installed electronic fences in others. To ensure the fences are safe, workers initially tested them on themselves. Most of the time people resort to more subtle tactics, such as leaving trucks of maize and pineapples in select locations to lead the animals to less- inhabited areas.
【2】
Promoting an ecological civilization has always been high on the government’s agenda. Since 1958 when the country set up one of its earliest national nature reserves in Xishuangbanna to protect elephants, more than 10 new reserves have been created, covering 4,253 square kilometers.
【3】 The elephants used to feed on sugar cane and maize, which are being replaced by pineapples and dragon fruits planted by local farmers. The change suggests the elephant-human relationship may be positive.
Thanks to protective measures, over the past three decades the number of wild Asian elephants in Yunnan has doubled from 150 to 300. During the 1990s, they were primarily found in 14 towns, but this number has grown to 55.
The gradual expansion of the species over a larger area, while a sign of improving ecology, also fuels the need for more food, which increases instances of encroachment (蚕食) on farmers’ plants. Local governments are studying how to compensate farmers who have suffered losses as a result of the migrating pachyderms.
【4】
A．For one thing, the information is a testament to the meticulous (小心翼翼的) efforts local governments have made to ensure safe passage for the migrating mammals.
B．In a certain sense, all these facts and figures speak volumes for the heightened ecological awareness and capacities of local governments and people.
C．The effectiveness of these efforts can be seen in their dietary changes.
D．In a dramatic way, the elephants’ tour is educational, offering researchers and residents alike an intimate glimpse of their behavioral patterns.
E．As the giants continue their tour, they would be noted by more people, with a strong ecological message about people and elephants living in harmony.
F．Thanks to coordinated efforts between local governments, a lot of timely measures have been taken.
23、Money is the root of all evil(邪恶)and new study shows that there may be some truth behind the saying. Scientists-at the University of California Berkeley, US, announced on February 27 that rich people are more likely to do immoral(不道德)things, such as lie or cheat, than poorer people. The scientists did a series of eight experiments. They published their findings online in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.
They carried out the first two experiments from the sidewalk near Berkeley. They found that drivers of newer and more expensive cars were more likely to cut off other cars and pedestrians(行人)at crosswalks. Nearly 45 percent of people driving expensive cars ignored a pedestrian compared with only 30 percent of people driving ordinary cars.
In another experiment, a group of college students was asked if they would do immoral things in everyday situations. Examples included taking printer paper from work and not telling a salesperson when lie or she gave back more change. Students from higher-class families were more likely to act dishonestly.
According to the scientists, rich people often think money can get them out of trouble. This makes them less afraid to take risks. It also means they care less about other people's feelings.
Finally, money just makes them have more desires. Higher wealth status seems to make you want even more, and that increased want leads you to bend the rules or break the rules to serve your self-interest, said Paul Piff, lead scientist of the study.
Piff pointed out that the findings don't mean that all rich people are untrustworthy or all poor people honest. He said the experiments were to show how people living in different social situations express their instincts(本能)and values in different ways.
【1】By saying "money is the root of all evil", the author wants to________.
A．link wealth with bad behavior
B．draw readers' attention to the research
C．show how the saying proves the findings
D．defend rich people who do immoral things
【2】According to the scientists, which is NOT the factor that makes rich people immoral?
A．They welcome risks.
B．They have more desires.
C．They believe money can solve the trouble.
D．They become more selfish.
【3】Why did the scientists do the experiments?
A．To show how social status affects people's morality.
B．To show people's instincts and values in different ways.
C．To test whether the saying "money is the root of all evil" is true.
D．To show the difference between higher-class people and' lower-class people.
【4】What does the passage really want to show us?
A．All poor people are respectable.
B．Money is the root of all evil.
C．All rich people are untrustworthy.
D．The rich are more likely to act badly.
24、阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。
A glass a day keeps obesity at bay．Alcohol has always been thought to cause weight gain because of its high sugar content, but new research suggests a glass a day could form part of a diet．Looking at past studies they found that, while heavy drinkers do put on weight, those who drink in moderation can actually lose weight．
A spokesman for the research team at Navarro University in Spain says, “Light to moderate alcohol intake, especially of wine, may be more likely to protect against, rather than promote, weight gain”．The International Scientific Forum on Alcohol Research reviewed the findings and agreed with most of the conclusions, particularly that current data do not clearly indicate if moderate drinking increases weight．
Boston University’s Dr．Harvey Finkel found that the biologic mechanisms (生物学机制) relating alcohol to changes in body weight are not properly understood． His team pointed out the strong protective effects of moderate drinking on the risk of getting conditions like diabetes(糖尿病)，which relate to increasing obesity．Some studies suggest that even very obese people may be at lower risk of diabetes if they are moderate drinkers．
The group says alcohol provides calories that are quickly absorbed into the body and are not stored in fat, and that this process could explain the differences in its effects from those of other foods．They agree that future research should be directed towards assessing the roles of different types of alcoholic drinks, taking into consideration drinking patterns and including the past tendency of participants to gain weight．
For now there is little evidence that consuming small to moderate amounts of alcohol on a regular basis increases one’s risk of becoming obese．What’s more, a study three years ago suggested that reveratrol, a compound present in grapes and red wine, destroys fat cells．
【1】The passage is mainly for those ______．
A． who produce wine
B． who are eager to lose weight
C． who go on a diet
D． who have a drinking habit
【2】The underlined phrase “in moderation” in the first paragraph means ______．
A． properly B． carefully
C． excitedly D． frequently
【3】Why has alcohol been thought to cause weight gain?
A． Because its calories are stored in fat．
B． Because it is rich in sugar．
C． Because it changes drinking patterns．
D． Because it increases the risk of diabetes．
【4】What can we learn from the passage?
A． The specific roles of different types of alcoholic drinks are very clear．
B． Resveratrol is proved to increase the risk of becoming fat．
C． The research found moderate drinking has a strong protective effect．
D． Current data clearly show that moderate drinking increases weight．
【5】What is most likely to be discussed in the paragraph that follows?
A． How to do some easy experiments．
B． How to prove the finding mentioned above．
C． How to make wine in a healthy way．
D． How to reduce the calories contained in wine．
