22、TikTok is an app for making and sharing short videos. The videos are tall, not square, like on Snapchat or Instagram’s stories, but you navigate through（浏览)videos by scrolling up and down, like a feed, not by tapping or swiping side to side. Video creators have all sorts of tools at their disposal: filters as on Snapchat (and later, everyone else); the ability to search for sounds to score your video. Users are also strongly encouraged to engage with other users, through “response” videos or by means of “duets” — users can duplicate videos and add themselves alongside.

Hashtags play a surprisingly large role on TikTok. In more innocent times, Twitter hoped its users might congregate around hashtags in a never-ending series of productive pop-up mini-discourses. On TikTok, hashtags(话题标签)actually exist as a real, functional organizing principle: not for news, or even really anything trending anywhere else than TikTok, but for various “challenges,” or jokes, or repeating formats, or other discernible blobs of activity.

TikTok is, however, a free-for-all. It’s easy to make a video on TikTok, not just because of the tools it gives users, but because of extensive reasons and prompts it provides for you. You can select from an enormous range of sounds, from popular song clips to short moments from TV shows, YouTube videos or other TikToks. You can join a dare-like challenge, or participate in a dance meme, or make a joke. Or you can make fun of all of these things.

TikTok assertively answers anyone’s what should I watch with a flood. In the same way, the app provides plenty of answers for the paralyzing what should I post? The result is an endless unspooling of material that people, many very young, might be too self-conscious to post on Instagram, or that they never would have come up with in the first place without a nudge. It can be hard to watch. It can be charming. It can be very, very funny. It is frequently, in the language widely applied outside the platform, from people on other platforms, extremely “cringe”.

【1】What does the word “cringe” in the last paragraph means?

A．be afraid of something

B．be satisfied with completely new things

C．interesting

D．boring

【2】What activities can you participate in on TikTok?

Ⅰ. imitate interesting dance actions                       Ⅱ. editing your favourite TV programme period

Ⅲ. creating your own challenges                            Ⅳ. making a joke

A．Ⅰ,Ⅲ and Ⅳ

B．Ⅰ,Ⅱ and Ⅲ

C．Ⅱ,Ⅲ and Ⅳ

D．Ⅰ,Ⅱ and Ⅳ

【3】How do the writer start the article?

A．By asking continuous questions.

B．By introducing what is TikTok.

C．By introducing TikTok videos.

D．By giving examples of usage of TikTok in life.

【4】What is the writer’s attitude towards Tiktok?

A．Positive.

B．Worried.

C．No attitude since it is an argumentation.

D．Boring.

24、Millions of people all over the world use the word OK. In fact, some people say the word is used more often than any other word in the world. OK means all right or acceptable. It expresses agreement or approval. 【1】Some people say it came from the Native American Indian tribe known as the Choctaw (乔克托语). The Choctaw word “okeh” means the same as the American word okay. Experts say early explorers in the American West spoke the Choctaw language in the nineteenth century. But many people doubt this. Language expert Allen Walker Read wrote about the word “OK” in reports published in the 1960s. He said the word began being used in the 1830s.【2】Some foreign-born people wrote “all correct” as “o-l-l-k-o-r-r-e-c-t”, and used the letters OK. Other people say a railroad worker named Obadiah Kelly invented the word long ago. They said he put the first letters of his name——O and K——on each object people gave him to send on the train.【3】The organization supported Martin Van Buren for president in 1840.They called their group the OK club. The letters were taken from the name of the town where Martin was born---Old Kinderhook, New York. Then there is the expression A-OK．It is a space-age expression. It was used in 1961 during the flight of astronaut Alan Shepard. He was the first American to be launched into space. His flight ended when his spacecraft landed in the ocean, as planned. Shepard reported, “Everything is A-OK.”【4】One story says it was first used during the early days of the telephone to tell an operator that a message had been received. There are also funny ways to say okay.【5】These expressions were first used in the 1930s. Today, a character on the American television series “The Simpsons” says it another way. He says okely-doke.

A．Some people say okey-dokey or okey-doke．

B．Still others say a political organization invented the word．

C．Therefore, it has become popular in that area from then on．

D．But many experts don’t agree on what the expression means.

E．Still, language experts do not agree about where the word came from.

F．It was a short way of writing a different spelling of the word “all correct”.

G．However, some experts say the expression did not begin with the space age.

26、阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。

Last week, as I was having breakfast in my truck, I noticed a boy, sitting by the road with his dog. He was holding a sign asking for money or food to help feed him and his dog. People drove past ignoring them.

When I finished my breakfast, I decided to buy some food for them. As I was leaving, I pulled up beside him and handed him a bag of breakfast and a small bag of dog food. I asked him if he would be willing to work hard for the pay. He immediately said that he could be the hardest worker I had ever seen.

The next day he carried wood around and fetched tools for me all day without complaining once. His dog simply followed him. During the day I learned about his sad experiences. When the boy was 15 years old, his mother became critically ill. His father, who took care of the boy’s mother, could not go out to work, and the poor boy had to drop out of school because of being unable to afford his school tuition. Being too young, he failed to find a job. he had to beg near his home to help his parents.

A month later, I paid him $2000, the look on his face was well worth it. My aimless act of kindness seemed to put spark (活力) back in his eyes.

注意：1.续写词数应为150左右。

2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。

After that I continued to offer him some work and pay him.

Tears of joy flooded the boy’s eyes.
