Since 2017, short videos have got millions of views online in China.1.短视频已成为中国现在最受欢迎的交流方式之一。Many people create and share short videos on popular video apps (应用程序) like Douyin. You can even add music and special effects to your videos. 2. The videos usually last l5 seconds to a few minutes. They show people doing activities like cooking, exercising and singing.

3. Teenagers especially enjoy these videos. Because the videos let teenagers see funny and exciting things they don’t usually see. Many teens like to share the fun things they do with others as well. For example, a famous blogger named Li Ziqi has posted videos showing traditional Chinese culture. This has won her many fans.

However, the videos can also cause trouble.4. —些学生花太多的时间看他们。They don’t have enough time to study. To deal with this problem, Douyin added a new function (功能) in April, 2018.5. It locks the app if someone uses the app for over two hours a day. In this way, the apps have been controlled much more strictly since then.

“Yes, it is one of the wonders in the world.And people from all over the world have come to visit it，” I added.As I was telling him more about it, he said again, “You don't say！”

I couldn't help asking, “Why do you ask me not to talk about it？”

“Well, I didn't ask you to do so，” he answered, greatly surprised.

“Didn't you say ‘You don't say！’？” I asked again.

26、   Many people travel to different places in the world by air. Usually it takes a long time, perhaps half a day, for passengers to stay in the plane for a long time. So airlines offer passengers food. But it is common that they feel bad about food taste. Some passengers complain about the food to the airline companies , and some others even refuse to eat them. Do you agree?

To solve this problem, airlines try hard to improve their food. They would like to do so because they don’t want to lose customers.

However, according to scientific research, part of the reason why plane food tastes bad is that at high altitude we can not taste things as well as we do on the ground. Also scientists have found that our noses become very dry even before a plane takes off. As the plane moves up, the change in air pressure reduces one third of the sensibility of our taste buds（味蕾）. So our taste buds become senseless (没有知觉的).  The sad fact, however, is that our noses don’t know it.

All of these help explain why food on the plane tastes so bad. They also help explain why airlines choose to offer passengers salty and spicy food. Without doing so, the food would be tasteless.

Now there are many researches on this. According to one of them, some volunteers are asked to lie with their feet higher than their heads for weeks. And scientists write down their feelings about food taste.

Though scientists try their best, it is not as easy as they thought. Because they can’t deal with the special environment successfully, such as the change in air pressure, making food taste good is still hard for them.

【1】In Paragraph 1, “complain” means ________________ in Chinese.

A.接受 B.投诉 C.讨厌 D.丢弃

【2】What do airlines do to solve this problem ?

A.Get more customers. B.Offer more food.

C.Improve their food. D.Reduce the ticket price.

【3】Our taste buds become senseless because of the following facts EXCEPT____________.

A.a high altitude B.the change in air pressure

C.our noses become dry D.the food goes bad in high altitude

【4】Which of the following is True according to the passage?

A.Scientists have found a way to improve the plane food easily.

B.Airlines offer passengers salty and spicy food to save money

C.In the researches, some volunteers lie with their heads higher than their feet for weeks.

D.Though scientists try hard, they still can’t deal with the change in air pressure successfully.

【5】What is the best title of the passage?

A.Taste of Airplane Food B.Airplane Food

C.Scientific Research on Food D.Our Taste Buds in High Altitude

27、阅读理解

Dear neighbors,

We are writing this letter to you because our school has started a group. It is called “Help the Environment”. It works to look after the environment.

Here are some interesting facts that our group has learnt:

Most things that we throw away can be reused or recycled.

Some European countries, for example, Germany, already recycle half of their waste.

90% of people in our country would like to recycle more.

We think that most people would agree with these statements:

We need to recycle our waste, not use up the world’s sources.

It is better to recycle waste than to burn it in the earth or the sea.

Our environment group has decided that one of the best things we can do is to collect reusable waste. We will sell this waste to recycle companies and give the money to Friends of the Earth. We would like people living near the school to bring their recyclable waste to the school. But if you are too busy, we will collect it from you once a week.

We hope that you will agree to this. If you do, please sign your names below this letter.

  Yours,

John Cooper
