C.
Social media is taking over our lives:Facebook,Instagram,Twitter and now,TikTok.These
social media platforms have changed from a way to stay connected to an industry (where
even kids can make money off their posts.While this may seem like another opportunistic
innovation,it's really full of hidden false realities.
The median income(中位收入)recorded in the United States of America was about S63.,000
in 2018.TikTokers can make anywhere from S50,000 to $150,000 for a TikTok brand partnership,
and TikTokers with over a million followers can make up to $30,000 a month-S360,000 a year.
They are making more than the average person trying to feed their family and keep a roof over their
heads,simply by posting a 15-second video.
This is mad in more ways than one.Not only is it an overpaid "job",it develops undeserved
(不应得的)admiration from viewers and a false sense of reality.Many of these famous TikTokers
are still teens,and the effects of fame at such an early stage in life might cause problems later in life,
such as mental illness.Teens between the ages of 13 and 17 make up 27%of TikTok viewers,who
can be casily influenced by what they are watching.They can put a false sense of self-value into
who they look up to and what they represent:money,fame,being considered conventionally
attractive.
Richard Colyer,president and creator of Metaphor,Inc,had his own view on this problem."It
sounds great to make money for doing the latest dance moves in a 15-second video,but we should
feed the minds of kids and not just their bank accounts.TikTok can be great if used properly.Money
alone is not good,technology alone is not good and connectedness can be bad if it's only online."
Again,as a fellow consumer of TikTok,I do enjoy the app when I have some time to kill and
need a good laugh.I'm not against someone making a living on entertainment,but what does
getting famous of a 15-second video teach young people?
43.What does the underlined word"this"in Paragraph I refer to?
A.Social networking
B.Making money on social media.
C.A job offered by TikTok
D.Staying connected to the Internet.
44.What do the numbers given in Paragraph 2 show?
A.TikTokers are earning money easily.
B.All TikTokers are richer than average people.
C.Most TikTokers can become millionaires overnight.
D.TikTokers earn much more than ordinary workers.
45.Which is the possible influence of TikTok on its young users?
A.They tend to live an adult life too soon.
B.They are forced to pay for certain services.
C.They may abandon other social media.
D.They are likely to develop false value.
46.What can we infer from Richard Colyer's comments?
A.TikTok can be a positive influence if teens employ it wisely.
B.Young TikTokers should be banned from making money.
C.It is better to involve education on investment in TikTok videos.
D.Contents of videos need checking before their release online.

DA bat and a ball cost 1.10 in total.The bat costs 1.00 more than the ball.How much does the
ball cost?If you answered 10 cents,you're not alone-most people give the same answer (the
correct answer is 5 cents).It's an example of how we often depend on intuitive responses
应)
The bat and ball question helps explain why we often believe in news that's not true.It is part
of human nature to believe.But the way to deal with untrue news is to verify()-in other
words,to stop and question what you know.
3In research,Sloman invented a discovery called"Helium Rain"and shared it with a group of
volunteers.He told them he couldn't fully explain it.Most volunteers thought they didn't get it either
and scored their understanding as 1 out of 7 at self-check.Then,another group was told that he
could explain it well.These volunteers felt they understood more and scored themselves 2 out of 7.
④Studies also show that knowledge spreads like a contagion(传染疾病)."If everyone around
you is saying they understand why things happen.then you'll start thinking that you understand
Another reason for the spread of untrue news is that we are more likely to believe
information that supports what we already think.For example,
So,in a world where misleading information is common,is there a way to protect
ourselves?"Idon't think it's possible to train everyone to verify everything that they meet."Sloman
says.
However,training people to care about fact-checking is important.Think of the stories shared
on your social media(社交媒体)every day.Perhaps not all of them are true."We should check
things and not just accept them at face value."Sloman said.
47.What's the purpose of using the example about the bat and ball question?
A.To show us that people often forget skills that they have learned at school.
B.To remind us that there is often more than one possible answer to a question.
C.To tell us many people give quick answers without thinking twice.
D.To suggest we spend more time and work harder on math.
48.Which sentence can be put in the▲?
A.you are not sure about a story on social media,so you check for more information.
B.you put online a message that gives your own opinion about a news story.
C.you don't believe a bad news story about a singer because you like his voice best.
D.you don't treat the opinion as an enemy even though it goes against what you believe.
49.Which is the best title of the passage?
A.Helium Rain:A Great Discovery
B.Be Careful When Using Social Media
C.Human Nature in Believing

Some countries have a large number of earthquakes.Japan is one of them.51
There are few earthquakes in Britain.

true.The centers of some earthquakes are under the sea.The bottom of the sea suddenly
moves.The powerful forces inside the earth break the rocks.The coast is shaken and
great waves appear.These waves travel long distances and rush over the land
when they reach it,breaking down houses and other buildings.53
A terrible earthquake happened in Assam,India,in 1986.The land near Shillong
suddenly moved 1.5 feet to one side,and then back again.54 Few buildings could
stand what was happening,and the great stones flew four feet up into the air.
What kind of building stays up best in an earthquake?The Americans carefully
studied the results of the earthquake at San Francisco(1906)and believed it best for
buildings to be made with concrete(混凝土)walls together by steel frames(框架).S5

The oil paper umbrella is a traditional Chinese handicraft.It has 56history of over 1,000
years in China .In the early Tang Dynasty ,it57(introduce)to Japan and Korea,so it was
called the "Tang Umbrella".Later oil paper umbrellas were spread to other58(Asia)countries,
such as Vietnam ,Thailand and Laos,and each had its own style.However,as steel-ribbed
umbrellas59(appear)in the last century,the hand-made oil paper umbrellas became less
used in daily life.They were turned into decorative artifacts.Yuhang in Hangzhou is known for
making oil paper umbrellas for more than 230 years.They are60(main)made of skin paper,
bamboo,a coating of Tung oil )They need to take more than 70 steps to make,61
(include)making bamboo ribs,pasting papers (and painting patterns.It takes at least a week
62(make)per umbrella.In 2008,these umbrellas were added to Intangible Cultural Heritage
List(非物质文化遗产名录)of China..
A young man called Liu Weixue learned the traditional art of making Yuhang oil paper
umbrellas63his grandfather."I want to bring the art to life,"Liu said.He improved the
umbrellas to win the hearts of young people.64the traditional paper was easy to break,he
started to use a kind of thicker paper.In a test,his umbrellas were opened and closed for 1,000
times without breaking.He used a kind of 65 (light)bamboo to make the umbrellas weigh
less .Now Liu hopes the art can be passed on.He goes to local schools to teach students.He also
goes to events in different places to promote()the art.

Confucius was a great thinker and teacher in ancient China.He was born in Qufu,capital of the
state of Lu.He acted as an official ()there.But he was perhaps a better thinker than he was an
official,and he ended up having to leave the state of Lu.He spent 13 years travelling around the
other states,spreading his ideas.In his last few years,he returned to Qufu where he spent the rest of
his life teaching.His teachings were recorded by his followers in a book called Lunyu.
Confucius'teachings formed the base()of Chinese thought.Confucius thought everyone
should develop virtues (and always do the right thing.Confucius'thought is considered to
have been the necessity of Eastern thought.
To help people understand how to behave towards others,he taught five virtues accepted by all
Chinese.They are ren (kindness,charity),yi (fairness),li (ceremony,tradition),zhi
(knowledge),and xin(trust).Another virtue is xiao.Xiao is the duties a person has to their parents.
It means loving,respecting,obeying ()and taking care of one's parents in their old age.Xiao
