People who study tourism say that Altay has always been famous for its beautiful nature,but it was not a popular place to visit before because it took a long time to travel there and the cost of staying in hotels was high.However,the popular TV show has made more people,especially young people,interested in visiting Altay. Even though it can be difficult to travel to Altay,experts think that the area could become a great place for tourists.Altay has different interesting things to see in summer and winter,so it can attract visitors all year.The government of Altay are advised to keep making their area better for tourists by improving their tourism and cultural attractions,as well as making the places for tourists to stay and visit better. It is not the first time that a TV show has made a place more popular for tourists.In the last few years,other places,like Dali in Yunnan Province,have also become popular tourist destinations(目的地)because of interesting TV dramas.By making tour products that include both natural beauty and cultural activities,Altay can make visiting even better and bring more people to see their special area. 51.Why wasn't Altay a popular tourist destination before the TV show?

C ①Recently,"How-to"videos have been more and more popular on social media platforms.One particular Internet star,known as “Xiaozhang the worker”,has got over 3 million followers online with her videos.These videos cover basic life skills such as how to attend a concert or take the subway.This growing trend has caused heated discussions about the changing search habits of young people. ②Instead of using traditional search engines like Baidu,young people are now turning to social media platforms like Douyin and Bilibili to search for information.Li Zhouzi,a 14-year-oldgirl from Shanxi,prefers to search on Bilibili.She finds that she can get information more quickly and easily through videos.For example,when using traditional search engines to solve a physics problem,she often finds herself lost in a sea of information that is difficult to understand.However,videos on Bilibili can explain it in a more interesting and creative way."The video creators make an effort to explain difficult knowledge in a way that is easy to me,"Li Zhouzi remarked. ③However,not everyone shares the same search habits.Zhou Yaokai,a senior 3 student from Sichuan,prefers to use official websites or trusted search engines like Baidu when forming opinions on heated topics.He believes that these sources provide more reliable(可靠的)information.Many students.like Zhou Yaokai still prefer traditional search engines for more serious and academic needs. ④It is worth noting that the use of social media platforms for searching is not only happeningin China.Young people in other countries are also using these platforms for different searches,including social news,beauty and fashion,diet,and home cleaning.However,it remains uncertain if traditional search engines will finally be displaced by these social media platforms. 58.Why does the writer use the example of"Xiaozhang the worker"in Paragraph 1?

D.To show the importance of social media. 59.What does the underlined word "it"in Paragraph 2 refer to? A.A sea of information. B.A heated topic. C.Difficult knowledge. D.A physics problem. 60.What is the main topic of the passage? A."How-to"videos on social media platforms. B.The changing search habits of young people. C.Li Zhouzi and Zhou Yaokai's search methods. D.The development of social media platforms. 61.Which of the following best shows the structure of the passage?(P=Paragraph) D If you're missing an amazing party for your aunt's birthday that you promised your mum you would attend,you'll probably get "FOMO”—the fear of missing out. It's impossible to attend every social event in the calendar,but sometimes it really annoys you when you have prior(先前的)engagements(约定)and you know you're missing out on something great. But some people feel the opposite.Rather than feeling FOMO,they take joy in missing out.They don't feel the need to attend everything,and instead find comfort in either sticking to their original plans or staying at home alone. In a blog post,Kristen Fuller said "JOMO”is basically the “emotionally intelligent antidote to "FOMO"and it is "about being present and being satisfied with where you are in life."Some people are born with it,others lean to accept it Here are the different ways JOMO can show itself: 1.Living in the moment If you constantly worry about missing out on something,you cannot enjoy yourself wherever you are.This isn't a healthy way to live your life,and Fuller wrote that you shouldn't compare yourself to other people's lives or experiences. “JOMO allows us to be who we are in the present moment,which is the secret to finding happiness,"she said."When you free up that competitive and anxious space in your brain,you have so much more time,energy and emotion to realize your true priorities(首要事情).” 2.Switching off In an article,writer Justin Bariso discovered JOMO after he published his first book.He found it hard.to switch off,worrying that his editor(编辑)would contact him for rewrites,or he would miss an important email.It wasn't until hc was abroad with bis family and his daughter asked him to play that be thought:“What am I doing?” “Did I really want to go to Starbucks to sit in front of my computer,responding to emails from people I barely know,when instead I could be spending time with my family on a beautiful beach?"he wrote. 3.Enjoying your own company Some people are simply born with the ability to switch off,and not worry about what they could be missing out on.For them,being alone is important,and it doesn't matter if they're missing out on the party of the year. Others don't necessarily need the space on a biological level,but they don't feel the need to compare their lives to others.These are the people who aren't involved in social media,and find joy in what they have,rather than focusing on what they don't. 62.Which of the following proves that you feel JOMO? A.You spare a day for yourself every week to do some reading and writing. B.You constantly check your emails to make sure you keep up with your work. C.You cancel your original appointment and attend a party later. D.You always work hard in order to create a better future for your family 63.What does the underlined word "antidote"in Paragraph 4 mean? A.A requirement to improve the situation. B.A way to take away the bad effects of something. C.An experiment to test the effect of something. D.A method to keep a balance between two things. 64.What is the cause of FOMO? A.Some people were born with big competitive space in their brains. B.People are not able to switch off the electronic equipment they use. C.People tend to focus on what others have instead of what they own. D.Some people spend too much time making friends on social media. 65.Which is the proper title of this article? A.Differences between FOMO and JOMO B.Your Choice:FOMO or JOMO C.JOMO:A Way to Deal with Fear D.JOMO:Find Happiness in Not Being Involved 五、词汇应用(共10小题;每小题1分,计10分) 根据句子意思,用括号中所给汉语提示或英语单词的适当形式填空。(每空一词) 66.The little girl thought that her decision_(影响)her study in college and her job as well. 67.I just can't help_(赞扬)the work of art.It's so wonderful. 68.Have you found that you can climb to the top by_(控制)two ropes there? 69.Cartoons are suitable for all ages,although there’s not much_(对话)in them. 70.People all over the world are looking forward to_(持续)peace. 71.Those who suffer from autism have no way of_(success)communicating or forming relationships with others. 72.It is reported that Brazil will be one of the world's _(wealth)countries. 73.The wonderful piece of music is a couple of Chinese_(music)work. 74.The old man kept walking every day though he is in his _(nine) 75.There are many things worth_(record)only if you take more notice of them. 六、阅读表达(共5题;每题2分,计10分) The book I would like to talk about is The Merchant of Venice.The book is a dramatic work by Shakespeare,an English famous writer in the 16th century.It talks about something happening between merchants in Venice.The main characters are Bassanio, Portia, Shylork and Antonia The drama begins with Antonio,who helps Bassanio borrow money from Shylock,and then brings out other stories.Bassanio is a poor merchant.He needs money to follow his dream to marry Porta—a very beautiful and rich lady.He first wants to borrow money from his friend Antonio,also a merchant in Venice.Antonio borrows the money from a Jewish rich merchant Shylock.Antonio does much harm to Shylock before because Antonio really hates Jewish.Shylock is a little mean and loves money very much.He always gets interest from the people who borrow money from him.Antonio promises he will pay the money back in three months,or Shylock will be allowed to cut out 1 pound of flesh out of Antonio's body. Bassanio successfully wins the love of Portia but soon realizes his friend can not pay the money back to Shylock on time.Bassanio returns to Venice as fast as he can and attends a trial(审讯).The reason why Antonio isn't able to pay is because his ships are caught in storm. Portia,dressing up as a young judge,claims(声称)that the words"I pound of flesh"not "1 pound of flesh and blood”.She says that Shylock is only allowed to remove flesh,but not any blood,which is impossible.Thus,she helps make Antonio safe and make Shylock fail.At the same time.Shylock loses most of his money.At the end,Bassanio and Portia have a happy ending. 76.How many main characters are mentioned in this passage? 77.What will happen if Antonio doesn't pay the money back in three months? 78.Why isn't Antonio able to pay the money back? 79.Who is the young judge? 80.What do you think of Portia? 七、缺词填空(共10题;每题1分,计10分)(每空一词) As the weather gets warmer,it's the perfect time to plan a day at the beach.There,you can enjoy a_81_like swimming,surfing,and building castles in the sand.However,it's important to keep beach safety in mind.
