Ⅰ.阅读理解 A These days, short videos have got millions of views online.Many people create short videos on popular video apps like Douyin and Kuaishou.You can even add music and special effects to your videos.The videos are 15 seconds to a few minutes long.They show people doing activities like cooking, exercising and singing. Teenagers especially enjoy these videos.More than 50 percent of students in Grade 10 and Grade 11 said they enjoyed watching these short videos.About 47 percent have posted their own videos，according to a recent report. The videos let teenagers see funny and appealing things they wouldn't usually see.Many teenagers like to share the funny things they do with others as well.For example, the 16­year­old user named Xiaoqianyu has posted videos showing her learning jazz dance.This has won her many fans. However, the videos can also cause trouble.Some students spend too much time watching them and not enough time studying.Some videos have the vulgar content that is not good for teenagers. To deal with this problem, Douyin added a new function in April, 2018.It locks the app if someone uses the app for over two hours a day.In the same month, the government asked companies to control these apps well and get rid of bad videos. [语篇解读]　本文是一篇说明文。文章讲述了当今社会短视频的流行、短视频的弊端及对其进行的管控。 1．What can people add to their short videos with these apps? A．Music and special effects. B．Douyin and Kuaishou. C．Jazz dance. D．The new function. 解析　A　细节理解题。根据第一段的第三句“You can even...your videos.”可知，你可以在视频中添加音乐和特效。故选A。 2．What will happen if kids spend too much time watching short videos? A．The app will be locked for over two hours. B．They will not spend enough time studying. C．Some vulgar videos will be shown to them.

A．Kind. B．Funny. C．Wonderful. D．Harmful. 解析　D　词义猜测题。文章第四段在讲短视频的弊端。 由画线词所在的句子“Some videos have the vulgar content that is not good for teenagers.”可知此处的vulgar应该是一个贬义词，故排除A项和C项；分别将B项“滑稽的”和D项“有害的”带入句中并比较，滑稽的视频不一定对青少年不好，但有害的视频一定对青少年没有好处，由此可知D项更符合文意。故选D。 4．What can be inferred from the passage? A．The apps have been monitored much more strictly. B．More and more teenagers enjoy sharing their short videos. C．Teenagers can add all kinds of special effects to their videos. D．There will be no vulgar content in these short videos at all. 解析　A　推理判断题。根据最后一段的后两句可知，如果一个用户一天使用抖音超过两个小时，抖音会将该用户的抖音软件锁起来；政府方面要求公司做好软件监控并删除不良视频，由此可推断出，对短视频软件的监控加强了，A项“已经对这些软件进行了更严格的监管”符合文意。故选A。 B Millions of New Yorkers and visitors ride the city's subway and other trains each day.The public transportation system offers more than just a trip, however.It also has one of the most extensive public art collection in the world, with much of it under city streets. Some people call it New York's “underground art museum”．It includes more than 250 works of art.They are meant to brighten everyone's ride around the city.There is a huge painting of the night sky on the ceiling of Grand Central Terminal.New Yorkers have been looking up at that artwork for 100 years. Sandra Bloodworth has directed the Metropolitan Transportation Authority's arts program since it began in 1985.“But actually, it really began much earlier.When the subway was founded in 1904, a percentage of money was set aside to create special ornamentation (装饰) within the system, in order to make the place a very special place that people would want to use，”he says.For the past 30 years, artists have been asked to make works that relate to city life or to the neighborhood around a train station.There are coastal scenes at stations near the Atlantic Ocean. Rider Tonya Pierre praises the underground art.“When I'm stressed, I look at the subway art.I love the colors.Where I live, they have a mosaic (镶嵌画) of a man and a woman, like floating across the water, and it's beautiful.It's just beautiful to have art everywhere.”Nearby is Alejandra Acosta，a visitor from Colombia.“I think it's nice when you see these kinds of things that catch your eye when you're walking in spaces like the subway stations that seem a little bit dull.They don't have a lot of decoration.” [语篇解读]　这是一篇说明文。本文主要阐述了纽约公共交通系统拥有世界上最广泛的公共艺术收藏之一，纽约地铁被有些人称为纽约的“地下艺术博物馆”。 5．Which can best explain the underlined word “extensive” in Paragraph 1?

A．The map of New York's subway. B．The New Yorkers' special way of life. C．The development of New York's subway. D．The city life or nearby sights around the subway. 解析　D　细节理解题。根据第三段可知，在过去，艺术家们被要求创作与城市生活或火车站周围社区相关的作品，大西洋附近的车站有海岸景色。由此可知，纽约地铁作品与城市生活或地铁附近的风景相关。故选D。 8．What does Tonya Pierre think of the subway art?
