21、   The idea of anonymous(匿名) social media is stronger than ever. However, there's a debate over the pros and cons of using popular anonymous apps.

Supporters of these apps offer several reasons why they believe the technology is good.

Many people post life events on apps to share with family and friends. However, some of those same people will turn to anonymous sites to ask for life advice when they feel uncomfortable sharing personal details with a friend. According to the economist Michael Heyward, since users are not identified, troubled individuals can find help from a non-judgmental source through apps. Take the popular anonymous app AfterSchool as the example. The app allows teens to speak freely with others about emotional and everyday life worries and problems.

Along the same lines, supporters believe that meaningful conversations can push important subjects to the front because a person is more likely to comment without fear of outcomes. These situations enable people to draw attention to subjects that might otherwise be pushed aside.

One of the goals of using anonymous apps is to encourage the users to post news as it happens. In 2017, a new service that produces articles automatically from users' posts came out. Surprisingly, it is popular-even writers at news companies use it. Some journalists even have started using these apps to report on the tech industry.

However, critics, people who are against the idea of anonymous commenting, see these apps as tools that spread less-desirable behaviors(举止). They reason if the limitation set by social rules is removed, there will be more improper behaviors.

One of the most common criticisms of anonymous social media is how easily a user can post a hurtful comment on an individual. This often puts the victim at the disadvantage of having to prove the statement false. Also, beyond the worry of such posts, there are more serious worries about crimes resulted from anonymous violence(暴力). While there are pros and cons to this debate, it's necessary to realize that anonymity is a hallmark(标志) of our history. As social media becomes a larger presence in everyday life, it's likely this subject will continue to be debated.

【1】AfterSchool in the third paragraph is mentioned to ________.

A.stress the bright side of anonymous apps B.encourage teens to use social media more

C.introduce a very popular app among teens D.show the possible problems of social media

【2】The writer probably agrees that ________.

A.it's beneficial to encourage further use of anonyrnous apps

B.more rules are needed to make a standard for anonymous apps

C.people need to wait to see whether anonymous apps are really bad

D.anonymous apps have something to do with the development of the society

【3】What might be the best title for the passage?

A.Do You Have a Right to Be Anonymous? B.The Popularity of Social Media

C.Anonymous Apps, Good or Bad? D.A Debate on the Use of Apps

23、There are several ways you can find out about the places you wish to visit. You can talk to friends who have travelled to the places, go and see a film about the places, or you can read travel books.

It seems that there are three kinds of travel books. The first are those that give personal, subjective(主观的) ideas of travels which the writers have got themselves. These books can be useful if the writers share their travelling experiences with others. The second are those books which give purely objective(客观的) information of things to be done and seen. If a cultured person has written such a book, then it is even more useful. The third are those books which are called “a guide” to some place. If they are good, the writers will describe and explain the place in detail. I think they are the most helpful to travelers. Like the first kind, they can be exciting and interesting, but their main purpose is to help the reader plan his travel in the most special way.

Whatever kind of travel book you choose, you must make sure that it does not describe everything as “wonderful”, “excellent” or “fantastic”. You must keep an open eye on its date of publication(出版) because travel is a very practical matter and many things change quickly in the twenty-first century. Finally, you should make sure that it is easy to find the useful information for your travel.

【1】The passage is written to introduce ________.

A．maps

B．travel books

C．travel films

D．travel places

【2】The writer of the first kind of travel book gave his idea after he_________.

A．travelled

B．read books

【4】The date of publication must be noticed because ________.

A．the prices of travel books may be different

B．the writers of travel books may be different

24、Tenzing Norgay and Edmund Hillary reached the top of Qomolangma in 1953. It was an important event in the mountain climbing history. Also, it was a turning point in the lives of Sherpa (夏尔巴) people.

Before 1953, Sherpa people led a very simple and peaceful life. Most of them worked on farms. They had very little connection with people from other parts of the world. Now things have changed, and thanks to technology, the Sherpa world is much better connected. Tourism (旅游业) is also a main force in changing the lives of Sherpas. After 1953, especially in the 1970s, the number of tourists to Nepal (尼泊尔) increased greatly. Today, tourism is the biggest source of income (收入来源) for Sherpas. Many Sherpas now have a richer life.

Back in 1953, education and health care in Sherpa villages were poor. These days, however, there are many schools and medical clinics (医疗诊所). Changes have also come to Sherpas dinner table: they eat healthier food than they used to. They can also get food from other places. Besides, they are able to get and use quality building materials (建筑材料). The new buildings are much safer than they used to be.

There are some Sherpas, however, who like the old way of living their lives. Some older Sherpas are upset that people seem to be moving away from the traditional way of life. They believe that some Sherpas these days think too much about money. As a result, they are losing the ability to pay attention to true happiness.

【1】Now Sherpa people make money mainly by ________.

A．serving tourists

B．building houses

C．doing farm work

D．selling medicine

【2】The underlined word “quality” in Paragraph 4 means “________” in Chinese.

A．廉价的

B．优质的

C．轻巧的

D．传统的

【3】According to some older Sherpas, their people ________.

A．should make more money

B．have found true happiness

C．are becoming less traditional

D．should pay more attention to nature

【4】Which of the following can be the best title of the passage?

A．Tourism in Nepal

B．Changes in Sherpas’ lives

C．Traditions of Sherpas

D．Climbers of Qomolangma

25、Reading for pleasure is the easiest way to become a better reader in English.

It is also the most important w【1】. Some students say they don’t want to read for p【2】. They want to use their time to learn the rules of the language and new words. Many experts say pleasure reading is very important for English learning. Dr Stephen Krashen, a famous expert on language 1【3】, says that pleasure reading h【4】 you learn many important things about English.

Students learn more grammar and more words w【5】 they read for pleasure. They a【6】 learn more about good writing. Dr Krashen tells us that pleasure reading helps each student in a d【7】 way. Each student needs to learn something different. Pleasure reading makes it p【8】 for each student to learn what he or she needs.

Reading for pleasure is not the same as studying. When you read for pleasure, you choose your own books, and you d【9】 have to remember everything. There are no tests on your pleasure reading books. Pleasure reading will help you:

·Learn h【10】 English speakers use English.

·Read faster in English.

·Find examples of good writing in English.

·Learn new words.

·Learn about the cultures of English speakers.
