B I'm Nasilole from Zambin.For the past two yoars,I have seryed as n UN,pencekecper in the Contral African Republic (CAR).Before this,I was a pilot in my country's army,a job I decply cnjoyed.Though Zambia is penceful,I knew many Africnn countries suffered from violent conflicts.I felt it my duty to holp innocent pcople cnught in the crossfire(交火)，so I joined the United Nations. The CAR,a small nation of five million,has faced instability since gaining independence from France in tho 1950s.Conflicts between the government and rebel (groups,and even between the army and political lcaders,have bothered the country:In 2012,a civil war broke out,fucled mainly by clashes between different religions and ethnic groups Over one million people fled their homes,and many lost their lives.In response,the UN set up a peacekecping mission there in 2014.Our tasks include protecting civilians,helping the government restore stability,and supporting locals in rebuilding their lives. Working here is far from ensy.Based in the capital Bangui,we often travel to remote villages.Roads are in terrible condition,making trps long and diffiqult.The climatc is hot and humid,and diseases are common.We also stay alert,as armed groups still exist in some areas. Still.I belicve my work matters.I have seen how our presence reduced violence in some regions.We have built schools and hospitals,and provided food and medicinc to thosc in need.Though I miss my family in Zambia, I know I am doing somcthing meaningful.I hope the CAR's pcople will one day live in lasting peace,and I will be proud to have been part of that journey. 24.Why did Nasilcle become a UN peacckeeper?

C Family vlogging-the frequent recording and uploading of personal videos of the family,usually on video sharing website-has become big business nowadays,especially among parents of youug children.The more viewers such videos can get,the more money the family can make.At first thought,it does scem like an casy way to make money.However,are we doing righrby putting their lives up for public attention? For one thing,as the children grow up,they increasingly become aware that what they do needs to be admirable enough for the public to enjoy-Being young children,they also would want to do whatever it takes to please others.They then feel the pressure to be perfect,and as that is something not always possible,they become anxious and stressed Comments from viewers and the expectations of sponsors (can also affect the parents'reactions towards their children. Another problem is the lack of privacy in the children's lives.As the children reach adolescence,there is a greater need for personal space.At 12 or 13,very few children would appreciate being filmed while eating or having a conversation with their friends.Teenhood is a time of significant change in an individual,both physically and emotionally,and is a time when parents need to protect their children and guide them,instead of exposing them to the eyes of the public. Family vlogging can be inviting,given how it allows parents to bring greater fun to their family lives.There is also the easy money and the fame to look forward to.Indeed,all would probably go well,but only as long as parents keep in mind that,if not managed well,making their children live their lives in the unforgiving eyes of the public could prove to be a big mistake. 28 How does vlogging about children's lives influence the family? AChildren will get used to public attention. B.Children may suffer from too much pressure. C.Parenis may show no concem for their children. D.Parers become addicted to exposing their children to the public. yHow does the writer mainly develop his argument? A.By providing examples B.By listing numbers C.By making comparisons D.By analyzing causes 3C.What's the writer's purpose of writing the text? A:To introduce a new big business B.To show how vlogging influence people's lives. C.To peruade parents to watch out for comments from viewers. D.To comvince parents of the danger of vlogging about children's lives. 31.What's the writer's attitude to vlogging about children's lives? A.Negative B.positive C.neutral D.uninterested D People often complain that plastics are too durable.Water bottles,shopping bags,and other trash litter the planet because plastics are everywhere and don't break down easily.But some plastic materials change over time. They crack and melt into sludge,all of which creates huge headaches for institutions,such as museums,trying to preserve culturally important objects. Until recently,museums only have to worry about traditional materials.We know how to approach the restoration of paintings,books,and materials like wood,metals,and glass,")says Anna Lagana,a research 第4页共8页 spccialist at the Getty Conservation Institute."But for plastics,our koowledge is still limited"Tonkin,now a doctoral rescarcher in fashion conscrvation at Notingham Trem University,agrees."We're now uying to figure out how to conserve plastics,"she says. Ncarly cvery muscum in the world has plastio items,and even well-cared -for objects can fall apari alarmingly quickly.Muscums are doing cverything they can to save culturally imporamt items from similar fates. But preservation of plastics will likely get harder.Old objecs contime to decline.Worse,biodegradable( 降解的)plastic,designed to fliy,are incrcasingly common. We now live in an agc of plastic,and what we decide to collect today,and what we decide to preserve,will have a strong impact on how we'll be seen in the future.Future archacologists looking at what's left from the 21st century will probably find lots of poisonoug waste,along with plenty of plastic trash But if museum preservation efforts succced,maybe those scholars will also scc that plastic items today can be culturally meaningful-and even cherished. 32.What are two totally different featurcs of plastics mentioned in Paragraph 1?. A.Populnr but rarely recycled. B.Harmless to nature but harmful to humans. C.Easy to make but hard to clean. D.Some long-lasting but others easy-to-degrade. 3.What can we infer from Anna Lagana and Tonkin's words? Al-Muscums lack expericnce in plastic preservation. B.Traditional restoration makes plastic conservation needless. C.Plastic conservation in fashion is completely solved. D Ihe Getty Institute leads plastic preservation research. What is the main rolc of Paragraph 3? A.Explain why plastic preservation is harder than traditional ones. B.List ways muscums protect plastic cultural objects. C.Show plastic iters are common in global muscums. D.Stress the growing challenges of plastic preservation. 35.Where can this passage be found? A.In a travel brochure. B.In a fashion magazine. C.In a science report D.In a science fiction book. 第二节（共5小题：每小趣2.5分，满分12.5分） 阅读下列短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 How to Be Successful in a New Eavironment?
