ALiving in a world dominated by different social media platforms, we marvel at how deeply they can influence our daily life. But have you ever taken the potential of your profile photo into consideration? Actually, it can be a key element which builds the first impression you leave on others. Believe it or not, profile pictures can tell a lot about the person. People who adopt cute pets and animation figures as their profile pictures are more likely to feel uneasy when handling daily affairs. Those who use selfies as profile pictures are more inclined(倾向于) to express themselves in public. Frequent change of profile photos is likely to be a sign of instable personality. Youngsters tease elder people about their old-fashioned profile photos --either landscape or plants. Post 90s people have more complex taste in choosing profile photos -- some use portraits of their idols, some use internet memes while others choose a dog to show they are single.Just as appearances do not determine everything, avatars may have a greater impact on theformation of first impressions, but this effect fades as people learn more about each other. So please do not overstate the importance of a photo online. In fact, people know from the bottom of their hearts that a profile photo can never change the true image of a person that is mostly based on character and quality.21.What is the meaning of the underlined word in paragraph one?A .be surprised B. be satisfiedC .be absorbed D. be interested22.Which of the following is TRUE?A .The profile photo is not important in building the first impression on others.B. Profile pictures can not tell a lot about the person.C.Those who choose a dog as their profile pictures show they are single.D. The true image of a person is mostly based on profile pictures.23.What kind of people are more likely to feel uneasy?A.People who adopt cute pets and animation figures as their profile pictures.B. People who use selfies as profile pictures.C. People who frequently change their profile photos.D. People who use portraits of their idols.BA new keyboard can tell whether you are its owner. The keyboard records information about the typing pattern and sends it to a computer program. The program then checks to see if the typing pattern and sends it to a computer program. The program then checks to see if the pattern matches the right user, If not, an alarm sounds, the computer locks the typist out. It locks out anyone else, even if that person knows password. What's more, this device needs no batteries. It harvests all the person knows your password. What's more, this device needs no batteries. It harvests all the energy it needs from the action of your typing. Besides, the keyboard is also self-cleaning and the keys are free of damage from water, oil and dirt.The keys of the new keyboard are made of the same inexpensive plastic that might be found on any other standard keyboard. But instead of being smooth, the keys have millions of tiny plastic nanowires（纳米线）on their surface area to every key, increasing the effective contact area between the plastics and fingers. This ensures that there’s enough power to run the keyboard as someone types.Liming Dai, a scientist, did not work on the new keyboard, but he thinks the design could be important in getting better performance from a variety of devices."It could also be applied to a touch screen, for instance, ”Dai says. "Then smartphones and notepads could harvest energy from the action of someone typing or drawing.”“Future work might make the keyboard even more useful,” Dai adds. "A later design might build tiny capacitors（电容器）onto the nanowires,” he suggests. Capacitors are little devices that temporarily store electric charges. Those might then get LEDS to light a Keyboard in the dark Zhonglin Wang is a co-designer of the new keyboard. His team has built a working model of the keyboard.”If a company decides to fund its production, this keyboard could be in stores in as little as two years,” says Wang.24. How does the new keyboard tell whether you are its owner?A. By matching the typing pattern to the right user.B. By sending alarms to a computer program.C. By checking the right user's passwords.D. By recording information about the typing pattern.25. Why are there many nanowires on the surface of the keys?A. To make the keys beautifulB. To make the keys smooth.C. To help produce power.D. To improve the speed of typing26. What's Dai’s attitude to the new keyboard?A. UnconcernedB. DoubtfulC. PositiveD. Critical27. What is the best title for the text?A. A New Keyboard Made of Nanowires.B. A New Keyboard Powered by TypingC. A New Keyboard Entirely Owned by YouD. A New Keyboard’s FutureCA brave boy called Zion Harvey lost both his hands and his legs below the knees when he was two due to a life-threatening infection. The infection also damaged his kidneys and received a healthy kidney donated by his mom,Pattie Ray.In the first few years of his life Zion had more medical hardship than most of us in a lifetime. That didn’t kill his spirit, though. Last year he became the first child to receive a double-hand transplant in the US. NBC.News checked with him to see just how he was doing after the operation.“I will be proud of the hands I get,”he told NBC News. “Now I can do things most people take for granted, when I got my hands, it’s like, here’s the piece of my life that was missing. Now my life is complete.”When his mom Pattie talks about him, you can see the pride in her eyes, but you also see her strength. You can tell she’s helped her child develop his unbelievable spirit. The two are clearly a team, and seeing them together would make any person’s heart overflow.“one of the major concerns I have for him is his being able to d certain things in his life,” Ray explains. “Without my mom, I would not be right here right now,” Zion says. “she helped me get through the most difficult times of my life. She is the best mom in the world.”Zion Harvey is an amazing spirit, and wise well beyond his years.28. What emotion is expressed by the author in the last paragraph?A. SurpriseB. AppreciationC.

But environmental activists complain that the huge volume of plastic utensils (用具), wrapping and containers presents a great challenge to the environment, and that the heavy use of throwaway wooden chopsticks is reducing natural resources.On September 1, the Beijing No.4 Intermediate People’s Court accepted a lawsuit filed by the Chongqing Green Volunteer League, an environmental non-government organization (NGO), against the country’s three largest food delivery platforms—Baidu Waimai, Ele.me and Meituan. The NGO stated that the companies failed to provide customers with the choice to not receive throwaway plastic utensils along with their food deliveries. Meanwhile, these utensils have created large amounts of rubbish and caused serious ecological damage.In response, both Meituan and Ele.me, which acquired Baidu Waimai in August, have promised to take measures to reduce plastic waste. Meituan announced that it would appoint a chief environmental officer to oversee environmental issues from plastic waste and upgrade its smartphone app to provide consumers with the option of ordering food without single-use chopsticks, spoons or napkins. Ele.me followed by offering a similar choice and putting forward a plan to introduce suppliers of degradable (可降解的) plastic utensils to restaurants in the long term.Is there a possible way out? Combined efforts by delivery platforms, consumers, restaurants and government departments are required to address plastic waste pollution.For platforms, promoting environmental protection and introducing this idea to consumers are a meaningful move. Moreover, in the future, they should also make strict rules on the use of plastic utensils. For example, no more than one plastic bag should be used to wrap soup dishes, and all plastic products should be degradable. It is a long and difficult task for them, and the recent reactions from Ele.me and Meituan are just beginnings.Considering most takeout food packaging is thrown into garbage bins and then taken away along with other household garbage, sorting of waste also becomes more important. Government departments could play a major role in this, and by recycling some materials, waste pollution could be reduced and resources saved. Furthermore, there have been growing calls that the government should also invest more in developing degradable plastic products or environmentally friendly alternatives.Though consumers enjoy the convenience yet also suffer exposure to the pollution, many of them have paid little attention to the plastic waste problem. Environmental groups suggest that consumers change their habits a little by using their own utensils and dishes and refusing unnecessary plastic containers.32.The Chongqing Green Volunteer League accused the three food delivery platforms of _____.A.causing damage to people’s healthB.violating environmental standardsing many wooden chopsticksD.offering no utensil option33.The author suggests food delivery platforms _____.A.Raise people’s awareness.B.Research possible alternatives.C.Upgrade their application design.D.Hire a chief environmental officer.34..Who probably plays a more important role in promoting the categorization of rubbish?ernment departmentsB.food delivery platformsC.environmental groupsD.fast food restaurants35.The passage is mainly concerned with _____.A.why environmental problems ariseB.who food delivery platforms affect mostC.how plastic utensil pollution can be solvedD.what efforts environmental groups have made第二节（共5小题：每小题2分，满分10分）What’s the last time you read a book, or a magazine?
