As a young girl growing up in France, Sarah Toumi dreamed of becoming a leader who could make the world a better place. Her passion to help others was awakened when, from the age of nine, she accompanied her Tunisian father to his birthplace in the east of the country during holidays. There she organized homework clubs and activities for children.
Toumi witnessed first-hand the destructive effect of desertification (沙漠化). “Within10 years rich farmers became worse off, and in 10 years from now they will be poor. I wanted to stop the Sahara Desert in its tracks.” A decrease in average rainfall and an increase in the severity of droughts have led to an estimated 75 percent of Tunisia’s agricultural lands being threatened by desertification.
Toumi recognized that farming practices needed to change. She is confident that small land areas can bring large returns if farmers are able to adapt by planting sustainable (可持续的) crops, using new technologies for water treatment and focusing on natural products and fertilizers (肥料) rather than chemicals.
In 2012, Toumi continued her dream to fight the desert. She moved to Tunisia, and set up a programme named Acacias for All to put her sustainable farming philosophy into action. “I want to show young people in rural areas that they can create opportunities where they are. Nobody is better able to understand the impact of desertification and climate change than somebody who is living with no access to water.”
By September2016, more than 130, 000 acacia trees had been planted on 20 pilot farms, with farmers recording a 60 percent survival rate. Toumi estimates that some 3 million acacia trees are needed to protect Tunisia’s farmland. She expects to plant l million trees by 2028. In the next couple of years, Toumi hopes to extend the programme to Algeria and Morocco.
4. How did Toumi’s holiday trips to Tunisia influence her?
A They fired her enthusiasm for helping others. B. They helped her better understand her father.
C. They made her decide to leave the country. D. They destroyed her dream of being a teacher.
5. What is the main cause of the desertification of Tunisia’s farmland?
A. Cold weather. B. Soil pollution. C. Low rainfall. D. Forest damage.
6. Why did Toumi set up Acacias for All in Tunisia?
A. To create job opportunities for young people. B. To promote the protection of their farmland.
C. To persuade the farmers not to use fertilizers. D. To help the children obtain a basic education.
7. Which of the following can be the best title to the text?
A. Saving Water in Africa B. Fighting Poverty in North Africa
C. Holding back the Sahara D. Planting Trees in Tunisia
C
TikTok has pushed a new safety update in November to its app that allows parents to take more control of their teenager's accounts, as social media companies come under increasing pressure to make their platforms safer for children.
The company said Tuesday that its “Family Pairing” feature now enables parents to turn off comments on their children's videos entirely or to limit them to friends only. Parents whose accounts are linked to their kids will also be able to set their accounts to private, turn off the search function for content, users or sounds, and limit who can see which videos their children have liked.
Launched (发布) in March, the Family Pairing tool lets parents see how long their children are spending on TikTok each day and limit the content they can see.
TikTok allows children to register and create an account if they're over the age of 13. All they need to do is provide their date of birth. However, because TikTok doesn't require registers to prove their identities, some children under 13 have registered by lying about their age,according to U. K. regulator Ofcom (英国通讯管理局).
Alexandra Evans, head of child safety public policy for TikTok in Europe, told CNBC that Family Pairing has “put itself in parents’ shoes” since it was launched.
“If we're thinking about it as a toolbox we wanted to offer more tools,” she said on a video call ahead of the announcement.
8. What pushed TikTok to launch the new update?
A. The pressure from social media. B. The concern about kids' online safety.
C. The force from government. D. The increasing need of users.
9. What is the second paragraph mainly about?
A. The safety tips from TikTok. B. New apps explored by TikTok.
C. New functions of Family Pairing. D. The limits on Family Pairing.
10. What is Ofcom mainly concerned about?
A. The difficulty in opening an account. B. The low age limit for users.
C. TikTok's failure to check identities. D. The demand for users' birth dates.
11. What's Evans attitude toward the new Family Pairing?
A. Uninterested. B. Objective.
C. Disappointed. D. Supportive.
D
There are as many kinds of careers as there are people. They vary greatly in the type of work involved and in the ways they influence a person’s life. The kind of career you have can affect your life in many ways. By making wise decisions concerning your career, you can help yourself build the life you want. To do that, you need as much information as possible. The more you know about yourself, the better able you will be to choose a satisfying career.
What do people hope to obtain from a career? Some people desire a high income. Some hope for fame. Others seek for adventure. Still others intend to serve people and make the world a better place. Before you begin to explore career fields, you should determine your values, your interests, and your aptitudes that will make you competent for your future work. Most people are happiest in jobs that fit their values, interests, and skills. Each person has many values, which vary in strength. For example, money is the strongest value for some people — that is, wealth is more important to them than anything else. As a result, they focus their thoughts, behaviour, and emotions on the goal of earning a high income. Other values include devoting to religion, taking risks, spending time with family, and helping others.
Before making a career decision, you can ask yourself what is most important to you and examine your beliefs to better know your values. For example, is it important to you to work as a member of a team? Or would you rather be in charge or work alone? If working alone or being in charge is important to you, independence is probably one of your primary values.
12. How can we make a wise career decision?
A. We learn more about ourselves. B. We stick to our beliefs more firmly.
C. We change our interest more often. D. We find more career opportunities.
13. What does the underlined word “aptitudes” mean in Paragraph 2?
A. Experiences. B. Abilities. C. Feelings. D. Families.
14. According to the writer what is a satisfying career?
A. It meets inner values. B. It brings huge wealth.
C. It develops interests and skills. D. It forms values.
15. What does the writer convey to us in the last paragraph?
A. The contents of our values. B. The foundations of our values.
C. The places to achieve our values. D. The ways to understand our values.

I wanted to stop the Sahara Desert in its tracks.” A decrease in average rainfall and an increase in the severity of droughts have led to an estimated 75 percent of Tunisia’s agricultural lands being threatened by desertification.
Toumi recognized that farming practices needed to change. She is confident that small land areas can bring large returns if farmers are able to adapt by planting sustainable (可持续的) crops, using new technologies for water treatment and focusing on natural products and fertilizers (肥料) rather than chemicals.
In 2012, Toumi continued her dream to fight the desert. She moved to Tunisia, and set up a programme named Acacias for All to put her sustainable farming philosophy into action. “I want to show young people in rural areas that they can create opportunities where they are. Nobody is better able to understand the impact of desertification and climate change than somebody who is living with no access to water.”
By September2016, more than 130, 000 acacia trees had been planted on 20 pilot farms, with farmers recording a 60 percent survival rate. Toumi estimates that some 3 million acacia trees are needed to protect Tunisia’s farmland. She expects to plant l million trees by 2028. In the next couple of years, Toumi hopes to extend the programme to Algeria and Morocco.
4. How did Toumi’s holiday trips to Tunisia influence her?
A. They fired her enthusiasm for helping others. B. They helped her better understand her father.
C. They made her decide to leave the country. D. They destroyed her dream of being a teacher.
5. What is the main cause of the desertification of Tunisia’s farmland?
A. Cold weather. B. Soil pollution. C. Low rainfall. D. Forest damage.
6. Why did Toumi set up Acacias for All in Tunisia?
A. To create job opportunities for young people. B. To promote the protection of their farmland.
C. To persuade the farmers not to use fertilizers. D. To help the children obtain a basic education.
7. Which of the following can be the best title to the text?
A. Saving Water in Africa B. Fighting Poverty in North Africa
C. Holding back the Sahara D. Planting Trees in Tunisia

TikTok has pushed a new safety update in November to its app that allows parents to take more control of their teenager's accounts, as social media companies come under increasing pressure to make their platforms safer for children.
The company said Tuesday that its “Family Pairing” feature now enables parents to turn off comments on their children's videos entirely or to limit them to friends only. Parents whose accounts are linked to their kids will also be able to set their accounts to private, turn off the search function for content, users or sounds, and limit who can see which videos their children have liked.
Launched (发布) in March, the Family Pairing tool lets parents see how long their children are spending on TikTok each day and limit the content they can see.
TikTok allows children to register and create an account if they're over the age of 13. All they need to do is provide their date of birth. However, because TikTok doesn't require registers to prove their identities, some children under 13 have registered by lying about their age,according to U. K. regulator Ofcom (英国通讯管理局).
Alexandra Evans, head of child safety public policy for TikTok in Europe, told CNBC that Family Pairing has “put itself in parents’ shoes” since it was launched.
“If we're thinking about it as a toolbox, we wanted to offer more tools,” she said on a video call ahead of the announcement.
8. What pushed TikTok to launch the new update?
A. The pressure from social media. B. The concern about kids' online safety.
C. The force from government. D. The increasing need of users.
9. What is the second paragraph mainly about?
A. The safety tips from TikTok. B. New apps explored by TikTok.
C. New functions of Family Pairing. D. The limits on Family Pairing.
10. What is Ofcom mainly concerned about?
A. The difficulty in opening an account. B. The low age limit for users.
C. TikTok's failure to check identities. D. The demand for users' birth dates.
11. What's Evans attitude toward the new Family Pairing?
A. Uninterested. B. Objective.
C. Disappointed. D. Supportive.
【答案】8. B 9. C 10. C 11. D
【解析】
【分析】这是一篇新闻报道。文章报道了TikTok发布了新的安全数据更新,允许父母更多地控制青少年的账号。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段中“TikTok has pushed a new safety update in November to its app that allows parents to take more control of their teenager's accounts, as social media companies come under increasing pressure to make their platforms safer for children.(去年11月,TikTok对其应用程序进行了新的安全更新,允许父母更多地控制青少年的账户,因为社交媒体公司面临着越来越大的压力,要求他们让平台对儿童更安全。)”可知,对孩子上网安全的担忧促使TikTok推出新的更新。故选B项。
【9题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第二段中“The company said Tuesday that its “Family Pairing” feature now enables parents to turn off comments on their children's videos entirely or to limit them to friends only.(该公司周二表示,其“家庭配对”功能现在可以让父母完全关闭对孩子视频的评论,或将孩子的评论限制在朋友之间。)”可知,第二段主要讲了它的家庭配对的新功能。故选C项。
【10题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段中“However, because TikTok doesn't require registers to prove their identities, some children under 13 have registered by lying about their age,according to U. K. regulator Ofcom.(然而,根据英国通讯管理局Ofcom的说法,由于TikTok不要求注册者证明自己的身份,一些13岁以下的儿童通过谎报年龄来注册。)”可知,Ofcom主要关心的是TikTok未能检查身份。故选C项。
【11题详解】
推理判断题。根据第五段中“Alexandra Evans, head of child safety public policy for TikTok in Europe, told CNBC that Family Pairing has “put itself in parents’ shoes” since it was launched.(TikTok欧洲儿童安全公共政策负责人Alexandra Evans对CNBC表示,自推出以来,配对家庭已经‘站在父母的角度考虑问题’。)”以及最后一段中她所说的“If we're thinking about it as a toolbox, we wanted to offer more tools(如果我们把它看作一个工具箱,我们想提供更多的工具)”可知,Evans对新家庭配对的态度是支持的。故选D项。

There are as many kinds of careers as there are people. They vary greatly in the type of work involved and in the ways they influence a person’s life. The kind of career you have can affect your life in many ways. By making wise decisions concerning your career, you can help yourself build the life you want. To do that, you need as much information as possible. The more you know about yourself, the better able you will be to choose a satisfying career.
What do people hope to obtain from a career? Some people desire a high income. Some hope for fame. Others seek for adventure. Still others intend to serve people and make the world a better place. Before you begin to explore career fields, you should determine your values, your interests, and your aptitudes that will make you competent for your future work. Most people are happiest in jobs that fit their values, interests, and skills. Each person has many values, which vary in strength. For example, money is the strongest value for some people — that is, wealth is more important to them than anything else. As a result, they focus their thoughts, behaviour, and emotions on the goal of earning a high income. Other values include devoting to religion, taking risks, spending time with family, and helping others.
Before making a career decision, you can ask yourself what is most important to you and examine your beliefs to better know your values. For example, is it important to you to work as a member of a team? Or would you rather be in charge or work alone? If working alone or being in charge is important to you, independence is probably one of your primary values.
12. How can we make a wise career decision?
A. We learn more about ourselves. B. We stick to our beliefs more firmly.
C. We change our interest more often. D. We find more career opportunities.

C. It develops interests and skills. D. It forms values.
15. What does the writer convey to us in the last paragraph?
A. The contents of our values. B. The foundations of our values.
C. The places to achieve our values. D. The ways to understand our values.
【答案】12. A 13. B 14. A 15. D

However, the situation is easy to change if you take my advice. First of all, you should listen to your parents attentively when they talk to you. In this way you will be able to know your parents’ opinions better. What’s more, it’s a good idea to communicate with them personally and tell them that you want to share your opinions with them.
