27、These days shared bikes are becoming the center of attention in my WeChat friend circle. Many of my friends are sharing photos of themselves riding bikes, especially during the weekend in natural parks, and I can see people logging in (登录) and out of shared bike apps.
I’m very happy that there are shared bikes on the road. They have saved us a lot of time during special situations, and on beautiful, clear days, people enjoy riding them outside the city.
I tried shared bikes last week, and I didn’t like them very much. I think the first shared bikes without baskets are designed for athletes. They are very hard to ride, and the seats are not comfortable. It makes me wonder whether people really like riding shared bikes or are just saying this to agree with others.
A friend secretly told me she tried the bikes to fit in. She doesn’t like bikes and finds Beijing’s roads too hard for bike riding. But recently, the only way to hang out with her friends is riding out of town together. To join in social activities, she had to pick up bike riding again.
Another friend admitted that he started talking about and sharing photos on shared bikes in order just to appear modern and fashionable to friends. He started paying attention when shared bikes first came into use.
These views will give me something new to think about when I ride these bikes again.
【1】What does the writer himself think of shared bikes?
A. They are very difficult to ride. B. Their seats are comfortable.
C. Athletes like shared bikes. D. They can save us a lot of money.
【2】The underlined word “admitted” may mean _______________ in the passage.
A. told a lie B. told the truth C. kept a promise D. kept a secret
【3】Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage?
A. It’s quite simple to use shared bikes at special time.
B. Some people only appear to be interested in shared bikes.
C. The writer likes the bikes without baskets because they are for athletes.
D. Some people like to share photos riding bikes because they want to agree with others.
28、阅读下面的短文,在空白处填入一个适当的词或填入括号中所给单词的正确形式。
Have you ever found yourself in a situation where you’re talking to someone but 【1】 keep looking at their phone? This is called “phubbing” — a mix of the words “phone” and “snubbing” (不理睬).
When someone is “phubbing”, they’re using their phone 【2】 (look) through the online news, play games and so on, instead of focusing on the conversation or spending time with the people they’re with. The word was first used in 2012. 【3】 now most people have smartphones, phubbing is a common problem.
Most people would agree that it’s 【4】 (polite) to be focused on your phone when you’re spending time with another person. The expert William Hanson thinks so, 【5】. “Phubbing is a no-no!” he says. “If you have planned to go out with friends, focus on them and not your friends on your phone.”
Studies 【6】 (find) that phubbing can break your relationships with others. Those who “phub” are 【7】 (think) of as less polite and caring.
So science has shown that phubbing is not good for us—but 【8】 do we do it? It might be because we are feeling bored, worried or stressed. Or it might be because we are addicted to (沉溺于) checking our phones or 【9】 (play) games.
Whatever the reason may be, phubbing is a bad habit and can make us miss out on real moments with the people around us. 【10】 the next time you’re spending time with a friend or family member, try and keep your phone out of sight!
29、In many cases, online classes can be a gift to college students everywhere. They are ________ from traditional classes in many ways, which can be a welcome relief for students. So what exactly do students love about taking online classes? — A flexible schedule.
One thing that many college students probably ________ about traditional, in-person classes is that they’re inflexible. Whether you have a Monday-Wednesday class, a Tuesday-Thursday class, or whatever you have, there is usually a specific schedule you need to ________ and you must attend the class in person.
By contrast, online classes are much more flexible. They don’t ________ you to attend class at a particular time, which means you have the opportunity to do your work whenever you see fit. Of course, this comes with a possible ________ if you aren’t the best at managing your time. However, if you are efficient at managing your own schedule and getting your assignments and studying done in a timely manner, then online classes are a great ________ for you.
What’s more, if your entire program is online(e.g. if you’re pursuing an online master’s degree), this ________ you a lot more flexibility than if you’re attending traditional university classes. Especially if you happen to have a part-time or even full-time job at the same time, you will be able to get your work done for your online classes on your own time ________ in the evenings when you come home from work, in the mornings before work, on the weekends, or any time ________.
Originally, flexibility with your classes gives you the chance to make time for other important things in your life—like working a job to earn some money, spending time with friends and ________, and also taking much-needed time for yourself.
