26、The Chinese version of TikTok, Douyin, is introducing a “teenage mode” that will limit the amount of time to 40 minutes a day for children under the age of 14 who spend on the short-form video app. It will also be unavailable to those users between 10 p. m. and 6 a. m. The measures will apply to all Douyin users under the age of 14 who have registered using their real names, its company announced in a statement on Saturday.
The company also encourages parents to help their children use real names, or they can set the “teenage mode”. The app will also introduce new content, ranging from science experiments and museums to art exhibition and natural scenery, to inspire younger teens.
Experts remark that limiting the usage of Douyin is an active measure which is of great benefit to minors (未成年人). The decision will push other Internet platforms with short videos to consider setting similar limits. Self-management and voluntary change of the platforms can make them more socially responsible.
Douyin had at least 490 million users in November 2020, according to a media research firm. The Chinese government control the large amount of time minors spend on their services. In June, China changed the Minor Protection Law, which requires Internet service providers —including social media apps—to “set up corresponding (相关的) functions such as time management, content restriction and consumption limits for minors.”
Last month, China prevented online gamers under the age of 18 from playing on weekdays and limited their play to just three hours most weekends. A series of measures have been taken to further ensure the safety of businesses focused on the next generation, from a heavy hit on after-school classes to rules for online gaming and videos.
【1】What will the company of Douyin do with its teenage mode?
A.Limit the time for children to use Douyin.
B.Encourage parents to use their real names.
C.Allow children to use Douyin after 10 p. m.
D.Attract more children to watch online videos.
【2】Which opinion will the experts agree with probably?
A.Limiting usage of Douyin is of little significance.
B.The measures won’t have effects on other platforms.
C.The self-management of the Internet platforms is enough.
D.The Internet platforms should take more responsibilities.
【3】What can we infer about tech companies from paragraph 4?
A.They wanted to take the place of Douyin.
B.Their business should follow the new law.
C.They refused to set up corresponding function.
D.Their influence was discovered by media research firms.
【4】What’s the main purpose of the government’s measures?
A.To encourage online games.

28、When I was growing up, my mother had a ring she never took off. It was the only ring I ever saw her wear during my childhood. She didn’t really have any other jewelry, and, in fact, I remember my father saying that he didn’t even buy her a ring when they were married.
The years passed. My father, who had come from Mexico in the 1920s to try to earn a living, worked long, long hours at the service station he ran. And my mother worked at home, keeping house for her husband and eight children. With his hard work and her thriftiness(节俭), they sent their first son off to college, then another child and then another. The older children helped with the school fees of the younger ones.
Just as the last two children were graduating from college, my father died suddenly of a heart attack, but my mother lived on for another twenty-three years. Their children had become lawyers, businessmen and teachers. In the last years of her life my mother was finally able to buy some jewelry that she really loved.
A few years before she died, she told me that she wanted her jewelry to go to her granddaughters. And when she died, it was done. A diamond ring to this one, a pearl ring to that one, and so it went.
Then I discovered it: her first ring. It had been worn so long that it became so thin and would probably break at any minute. I took the ring, polished it with a cloth and carried it to the bank to place in a safety box. To me, it was a treasure that showed the devotion my mother had made for us and the values that she lived.
The rest of my family doesn’t quite understand this, but when I look at that ring, I see the priceless jewel of my mother’s strength and the deep love that she showed us every day of her life.
【1】Why did the mother only have a ring in her early years?
A.She had no desire for anything else.
B.Her husband refused to buy her other jewels.
C.She saved every penny for her children.
D.Her husband was too poor to afford other jewels.
【2】What do we know about the children?
A.They worked hard to earn their own school fees.
B.They struggled to earn a living when they grew up.
C.The last two children failed to finish college due to the father’s death.
D.The first son helped support his younger brothers and sisters.
【3】Why did the author place the ring in the bank?
A.The ring was worth large amounts of money.
B.The rest of her family didn’t want to see the ring.
C.She hoped to remember her mother’s selflessness forever.
D.She was afraid the ring might be damaged by her kids.
【4】According to the passage, what does the ring stand for?
A.The mother’s devotion to kids.
B.The mother’s suffering in life.
C.The kids’ deep love for the mother.
D.The kids’ memories of the hard life.
29、African countries have retrieved some historic heritage (遗产), which directly reflects the important development of human society, from European countries. Recently, Germany signed a deal for the return of hundreds of valuable artworks from the Kingdom of Dahomey in the 19th century, in what is today Benin.
But many artifacts (手工艺品) are still unluckily missing and some are on their way back. One such object is an eight-legged seat from the old kingdom in Uganda. The important artifact now sits at a museum thousands of kilometers away in Britain. The wooden seat is housed at the University of Oxford. It is one of at least 279 objects there taken from the Bunyoro-Kitara Kingdom.
Apollo John Rwamparo is a deputy prime minister of Uganda. He really values the country’s cultural heritage. He requested the British to return the artifacts. Ugandan officials are preparing to meet with the University of Cambridge in Britain about the return of such historical artifacts. The school has an unknown number of artifacts from Africa. Through many efforts, an artifact was returned to its home.
The British Museum holds a large collection of artifacts from Africa. Rose Mwanja said Uganda’s commission had been trying hard on it and believed it could have some good effects. She is Uganda’s commissioner for museums. She added she could start with those that are more willing to cooperate.
Many of the artifacts from Africa cannot even be found. That led to an organization started by late Congolese art collector Sindika Dokolo. The organization offers to buy African art from collections in foreign countries. By 2020, when Dokolo died, his group had successfully recovered 15 items. However, for African governments, the recovery of artifacts remains a struggle and will take much time.
【1】What does the underlined word “retrieved” in paragraph 1 mean?
A.Attacked.
B.Recognised.
C.Given up.
D.Taken back.
【2】Where is the artifact of the eight-legged seat at present?
A.In Benin.
B.In Uganda.
C.In Germany.
D.In Britain.
【3】What is Ugandan officials’ attitude to their country’s cultural heritage?
A.Concerned.
B.Curious.
C.Uncaring.
D.Confused.
【4】Which word best describes the recovery of artifacts?
A.Frightening.
B.Doubtful.
C.Effortless.
D.Challenging.
30、Time for girls to shine
Most of us grew up reading fairy tales that start with “Once upon a time” and end with “the princess and prince lived happily ever after”. They seem to be harmless- even _________, perhaps. But in the eyes of two Italian writers, Favilli and Cavallo, this is what’s been _________ with children’s stories for years.
“Children’s books have always _________ the same since we were children,” Cavallo said. And a study also found while 80 percent of male characters in most popular children’s books have a(n) _________, only 18 percent of female characters do.

The “characters”_________ pop singer Beyonce and tennis star Serena Williams.
However, the word “rebel” may make some people feel uncomfortable, since it’s not really seen as __________. But being rebellious is__________ being independent, which many of today’s girls need to develop.
“It is important to __________- especially if you are a woman or a girl- a rebel attitude, a rebel character, because you have to __________ harder to reach your dream and to get what you want.
