If you are a teenager without a job, you probably do not have much extra money. Sometimes parents will give their children pocket money for doing small housework, but it is often not enough once the children grow into teenagers and want to do things with their friends all of the time. How to make money is an important thing for teens to learn. If you’re wondering how a teenager can make good money, some ideas might be:
Getting a part-time job at a local restaurant or store is always a sure way to make money as a teen. But getting a job somewhere like this might be hard, considering many jobs in local stores are being taken by adults more and more often.
Doing landscaping (绿化) is something that most adults do not like to do, and teens can usually find jobs around their neighborhood doing the landscaping of friends and family.
Some teens are good at something such as writing or photography. These teens can make money by doing things such as writing articles for newspapers or magazines or selling their photos online.
Teens who live in a country area can earn money by helping out on farms, or they can try raising their own animals such as chickens, and selling them or their products.
Looking for jobs can seem hard at first, but if you have a try, it should not be too hard to find a job or way to make money.
【文章大意】这是一篇说明文。文章介绍了青少年找兼职赚钱的方法。在餐馆和商店的兼职通常都被成年人抢走了。但园林绿化、喂养动物这样的工作都可以尝试。只要愿意尝试, 都能找到工作或赚钱的方法。

A. Low pay.
B. Heavy work.

22. What can we learn from the text
A. Most adults hate doing landscaping.
B. Getting a part-time job is hard for teens.
C. Pocket money from parents is often enough for teens.
D. Teens can’t make money by writing articles for newspapers or magazines.
【解析】选A。细节理解题。第三段第一句提到“Doing landscaping is something that most adults do not like to do”做园林绿化是大多数成年人不喜欢做的事情。
23. What can be the best title for the text
A. The Necessary Skills to Make Money.
B. How Important Is Money to a Teenager
C. How Can a Teenager Make Extra Money

【方法技巧】标题猜测题属于主旨大意题的一种。标题应位于文章之首, 概括文章内容, 点明文章主题。它可以是单词、短语或句子。确定文章标题, 第一, 标题要与主题密切相关; 其次, 看标题是否能概括全文内容, 不能只概括短文中的某些事实或细节; 第三, 标题范围不应太大或太小; 最后, 标题应新颖, 概括性强并且精炼。23小题中C选项How Can a Teenager Make Extra Money 符合文章中心思想, 做标题最恰当。

Young people’s career expectations have become more concentrated in fewer occupations (职业) over the past two decades though social media and technologies like Artificial Intelligence(AI) are developing rapidly, according to a report from the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD). Traditional occupations from the 19th and 20th centuries, such as lawyers and police officers, continue to trap (使陷入) the imaginations of young people around the world as they did nearly 20 years ago.
The report, based on a latest survey of the 15-year-olds in 41 countries, said the career expectations of youngsters may be “antiquated and unrealistic”. Nearly half of young people around the world wish to work in just 10 of the most common professions. The surveys show that too many teenagers are ignoring, or don’t know, new types of jobs that are coming up, particularly as a result of digitalization (数字化). It is a concern that more young people than before appear to be picking their dream job from a small list of the most popular, traditional occupations, like teachers, lawyers or business managers.
The report found that among boys and girls who perform similarly in science, boys are more likely to expect to work in science and engineering. The top 10 occupations preferred by boys have changed very little since 2000—but girls are now more likely to want to be architects, police officers, and designers rather than hairdressers or writers.
The report also found a broader range of career expectations in countries with strong and firm occupational training for teenagers. For example, in Germany teenagers show a much wider range of career interests that better reflect patterns of labour market demands. More than a third of students in the UK report a lack of career advice at schools and colleges. Young people’s wishes are set as young as age seven, and do not change enough over time to meet demands.
【文章大意】这是一篇说明文。本文介绍了青少年职业理想的现状, 研究结果和解决措施。
24. What does the underlined word “antiquated”in Paragraph 2 probably mean
A. Outdated. B. Uncertain.
C. Purposeful. D. Demanding.
【解析】选A。词义猜测题。根据下文“The surveys show that too many teenagers are ignoring, or don’t know, new types of jobs that are coming up”可知, 太多的青少年不知道正在出现的新型工作, 所以年轻人对职业的期望可能是“过时的和不现实的”, 画线词语意为“过时的”, 故选A。
25. How does the author feel about the young’s job interest
A. Puzzled. B. Surprised.
C. Satisfied. D. Worried.
【解析】选D。推理判断题。根据第二段最后一句可知, 作者认为更多的年轻人从少量的最流行、最传统的职业中选择自己的职业这件事是令人担心的事, 故选D。
26. What measure can widen career interests of the youth
A. Strengthening the occupational training for teenagers.
B. Offering more new types of occupations with high pay.
C. Advertising new types of occupations on social media.
D. Enriching the occupation imaginations of young people.
【解析】选A。细节理解题。根据最后一段“The report also found a broader range of career expectations in countries with strong and firm occupational training for teenagers. ”可知, 对青少年进行加强的职业培训会带来更广泛的职业兴趣, 故选A。
27. What is the best title for the text
A. New Occupations for Young People
B. Young People’s Career Expectations
C. The Occupational Training for Teenagers
D. The Different Demands in Labour Market
【解析】选B。主旨大意题。根据开头第一句中的内容可知, 该句说明了年轻人的职业理想的现状, 下文介绍了研究结果和解决措施, 由此可知, 本文是讲年轻人的职业理想, 故选B。

(2021·长春高二检测)
Please take a few seconds and think of your personal biggest goal. Imagine telling someone you meet today what you’re going to do. Imagine their congratulations and their high image of you. Doesn’t it feel good to say it out loud Don’t you feel one step closer already Well, bad news: you should have kept your mouth shut, because that good feeling will make you less likely to do it.
Any time you have a goal, there is some work that needs to be done to achieve it. Ideally, you would not be satisfied until you’d actually done the work. But when you tell someone your goal and he acknowledges (认可) it, psychologists have found it’s called a “social reality”. The mind is kind of tricked into feeling that it’s already done. And then, because you’ve felt that satisfaction, you’re less motivated to do the actual hard work necessary. This goes against the traditional wisdom that we should tell our friends our goals, right
In 1982, Peter Gollwitzer, a Professor of Psychology, wrote a whole book about this. And in 2009, he did some new tests that were published. It goes like this: 163 people across four separate tests—everyone wrote down their personal goal. Then half of them announced their commitment (许诺) to this goal to the room, and half didn’t. Then everyone was given 45 minutes of work that would directly lead them towards their goal, but they were told that they could stop at any time. Now those who kept their mouths shut worked the entire 45 minutes on average, and when asked afterwards, said they felt they had a long way to go to achieve their goal. But those who had announced it quit after only 33 minutes on average, and when asked afterwards, said that they felt much closer to achieving their goal.
【文章大意】这是一篇说明文。文章讲述了将目标告诉别人之后得到的满足感会让你不太可能完成目标, 而将目标保密会让你更努力地完成目标。
28. What do the underlined words “social reality” in Paragraph 2 mean
A. Completion of the goal.
B. Necessary hard work.
C. People’s acknowledgement.
D. A sense of satisfaction.
【解析】选A。词义推测题。根据后文The mind is kind of tricked into feeling that it’s already done. 可知, social reality是大脑被欺骗感觉目标已经完成了, 也就是说social reality意味着目标的完成。故选A项。
29. What does Peter Gollwitzer try to tell us
A. Writing down the goal is very helpful.
B. Achieving personal goal needs more time.
C. Keeping the goal secret makes people work harder.
D. Making the goal public makes people less satisfied.
【解析】选C。推理判断题。根据第三段Now those who kept their mouths shut worked the entire 45 minutes on average可知, Peter Gollwitzer通过做实验发现没有宣布自己的目标的人坚持完成目标的时间更长, 这说明他想告诉人们将目标保密会让人们更加努力。故选C项。
30. How did Peter Gollwitzer prove his idea about people’s goal
A. By giving figures.
B. By giving examples.
C. By making a survey.
D. By making comparison tests.
【解析】选D。推理判断题。根据第三段内容可知, Peter Gollwitzer做了一个实验, 163个实验对象都写下了他们的个人目标, 然后他们中的一半宣布了他们对这个目标的承诺, 而一半没有。然后比较了两种实验对象的结果。这是一个对照实验。故选D项。
31. What will probably happen if you tell your friends your goal
A. You will be more confident.
B. You will not gain satisfaction.
C. You are less likely to realize it.
D. You’ll be much more motivated.
【解析】选C。推理判断题。根据第一段中Well, bad news: you should have kept your mouth shut, because that good feeling will make you less likely to do it. 可知, 将目标告诉别人之后得到的满足感会让你不太可能完成目标。故选C项。
D
People are being tricked into Facebook with the promise of a fun, free service without realizing they’re paying for it by giving up loads of personal information.
Most Facebook users don’t realize this is happening. Even if they know what the company is up to, they still have no idea what they’re paying for Facebook because people don’t really know what their personal data is worth.
The biggest problem, however, is that the company keeps changing the rules. Early on, you could keep everything private. That was the great thing about Facebook—you could create your own little private network. Last year, the company changed its privacy rules so that many things—your city, your photo, your friends’ names—were set, by default (默认), to be shared with everyone on the Internet.
According to Facebook’s vice-president Elliot Schrage, the company is simply making changes to improve its service, and if people don’t share information. They have a “less satisfying experience. ”
Some critics think this is more about Facebook looking to make more money. Its original business model, which involved selling ads and putting them at the side of the page, totally failed. Who wants to look at ads when they’re online connecting with their friends
The privacy issue has already landed Facebook in hot water in Washington. In April, Senator Charles Schumer called on Facebook to change its privacy policy. He also urged the Federal Trade Commission to set guidelines for social networking sites. “I think the senator rightly communicated that we had not been clear about what the new products were and how people could choose to use them or not to use them, ” Schrage admits.
I suspect that whatever Facebook has done so far to invade our privacy, it’s only the beginning, which is why I’m considering cancelling my account. Facebook is a handy site, but I’m upset by the idea that my information is in the hands of people I don’t know. That’s too high a price to pay.
【文章大意】本文是一篇说明文, 介绍了Facebook通过免费的、有趣的服务吸引着众人, 但为此人们付出了沉重的代价——泄露了大量的个人信息。
32. What do we learn about Facebook from the first paragraph
A. It is a website that sends messages to users who want to get married.
B. It earns money by putting on advertisements.
C. It makes money by selling its users’ personal data.
D. It provides loads of information to its users.
【解析】选C。推理判断题。根据第一段“they’re paying for it by giving up loads of personal information”可知, 人们在享受Facebook所提供的服务时, 也泄露了大量的个人信息, 显然通过出售个人信息, Facebook网站是可以挣钱的, 故正确答案为C。
33. What does the author say about most Facebook users
A. They are unwilling to give up their personal information.
B. They don’t know their personal data enriches Facebook.
C. They don’t identify themselves when using the website.
D. They care very little about their personal information.
【解析】选B。细节理解题。根据第二段第一句“Most Facebook users don’t realize this is happening. ”(大多数Facebook用户并没有意识到发生了什么)该句中的代词this指代第一段提到的内容——在人们使用Facebook的同时Facebook也在泄露着他们的个人信息并以此牟利, 但他们不知道发生了什么。故正确答案为B。
34. Why does Facebook make changes to its rules according to Elliot Schrage
A. To provide better service to its users.
B. To obey the Federal guidelines.
C. To improve its users’ connection.
D. To expand its business.
【解析】选A。细节理解题。根据第四段“According to Facebook’s vice-president Elliot Schrage, the company is simply making changes to improve its service, ”可知, 据Facebook副总裁埃利奥特·施拉格称, 该公司只是在做一些改变, 以改善其服务, 故正确答案为A。
35. Why does the author plan to cancel his Facebook account
A. He is dissatisfied with its present service.
B. He finds many of its users untrustworthy.
C. He doesn’t want his personal data badly used.
D. He is upset by its frequent rule changes.
【解析】选C。细节理解题。根据最后一段第一句话可知, 我认为Facebook到目前为止所做的一切都是为了侵犯我们的隐私, 而这仅仅是个开始, 这使得我考虑取消我的账号, 故正确答案为C。

【文章大意】这是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了作者和班内同学想办法解决餐厅食物浪费的问题。
56. 【解析】on。考查介词。句意: 上周, 我们班在自助餐厅值班, 自我管理。on duty“值班; 值日“为介词短语, 固定搭配。故填on。
57. 【解析】thrown。考查非谓语动词。句意: 第一天, 我惊讶地发现这么多吃剩的食物被扔掉了。分析句子可知, food“食物”和throw“扔掉”之间为被动关系, 故动词throw需用过去分词thrown, 作food的宾语补足语。故填thrown。
58. 【解析】heated。考查形容词。句意: 考虑到这个问题, 我和同学们就如何解决这个问题进行了热烈的讨论。heat“热”为名词, heat“变热; 加热”为动词, heated为过去分词转化的形容词, 意为“热烈的”, 此处作定语, 修饰名词discussion。故填heated。
59. 【解析】the best。考查形容词最高级。句意: 最后我们都同意墙报是最好的选择。根据句意可知, 此处应该用形容词最高级, 前面须用定冠词the, good最高级形式为best, 故填the best。

61. 【解析】a。考查冠词。句意: 快到午饭时间了, 我们在学校食堂外面贴了一张报纸, 号召同学们不要浪费食物。newspaper“报纸”为可数名词, 此处wall newspaper为单数概念, 前面需要不定冠词, 不定冠词a/an, 表示“一个(泛指); 任一个”等。因wall读音以辅音音素开头, 故填a。
62. 【解析】calling。考查非谓语动词。句意: 快到午饭时间了, 我们在学校食堂外面贴了一张报纸, 号召同学们不要浪费食物。分析句子可知, 动词call和主语we之间是主动关系, 此处应该用现在分词作状语, 故填calling。
63. 【解析】without。考查介词。句意: 在自助餐厅, 我发现午饭后盘子全部空了, 没有剩下任何东西。由句意“盘子空了”和空格后any提示, 此处应为否定含义。介词without, 意为“没有”, 后接any leftover作介词宾语, 符合句意。故填without。
64. 【解析】was saved。考查被动语态。句意: 食物被节省下来, 食堂也变得更干净了。food“食物”在句中作主语, 动词save和主语为被动关系, 谓语被动句结构为be+动词的过去分词, 根据上下文, 可知时态为一般过去时。故填was saved。
65. 【解析】what。考查名词性从句引导词。句意: 看到这一切, 我感到如释重负, 并为我们所做的感到自豪。分析句子可知, 空格处应为介词in的宾语从句中的引导词, what引导名词性从句, 意为“……的人或事物”, 作done的宾语。故填what。

Dear Jack,
How’s everything going I really feel worried about you when I heard that you were addicted to smartphone games.
You used to do well in your lessons and take an active part in the activities at school. But now you are so crazy about smartphone games that you have no interest in your schoolwork and don’t listen to teachers as carefully as before in class. Also, you can’t hand in your homework on time. Perhaps playing smartphone games can make you feel relaxed, but if you spend too much time on it, you will have less time to study. And it may do harm to your health. For example, it can hurt your eyes and neck. I hope you should achieve a balance between your schoolwork and your hobbies. Why not join in some outdoor activities when you feel bored As your friend, I’ll be glad to share your happiness and sadness.
Looking forward to your quick reply.
Yours,
Li Hua

阅读下面材料, 根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段, 使之构成一篇完整的短文。
“If mum finds out that I’m going to the beach, I’ll be in big trouble. ” I said to myself softly in a low voice.
I went downstairs slowly and tried to walk casually into the kitchen. As I was walking towards the back door, mum asked without looking up from her “dish-washing”, “Where are you going ” I answered back without hesitation, “I am going to the garden to play. ” After I got out of the kitchen, I breathed a sign of relief. My plan had worked out fine so far. I climbed the fence and jumped onto the muddy field next to my house and started running towards the bus stop at top speed.
After half an hour I was at the beach scanning the crowd for my friends, Jimmy and Bobby. Two young men were racing in the canoes (独木舟). After a while, I saw them near a coconut tree. I ran towards them and got into my swimming trunk (游泳裤). For about an hour, we played volleyball happily.
Suddenly, Bobby hit the ball too hard and the ball fell into the sea. Just as Bobby was going to pick up the ball, the tide came in and carried the ball further and further away from the shore. I wanted to show off my swimming skills so I declared to help get the ball for them.
I dived into the water and started swimming at a steady pace. After swimming for about ten minutes, I became tired but when I saw that the ball was only a few feet away from me, I put in an extra burst of speed. However, just as I was going to get the ball, a very strong current swept the ball further away from me. At that moment, a string of weed(海草)tangled (缠绕) up with my feet and I could not swim properly.
I struggled to keep afloat but it was no use. “If I had listened to my parents, this would never have happened, ” I thought silently.
注意: 续写词数应为150左右。
Finally, after struggling for a minute or two, I still got pulled underwater.

Finally, after struggling for a minute or two, I still got pulled underwater. I told myself I should never give up. Then I pulled the weed again with great efforts. The weed finally broke. I swam back to the surface to take a deep breath. I saw two young men in canoes, racing each other. I was exhausted and shouted for help. The two men saw me and raced towards me. By the time they reached me, I had been already unconscious.
When I woke up, I was in an empty room lying on a bed. It was not until a doctor came into the room that I realized that I was in a hospital. Jimmy and Bobby told me the two young men brought me to the shore and sent me to the hospital. After a few minutes, my parents with half angry and half worried faces walked in. My parents scolded me for running out of the house secretly but were also glad that I was not seriously injured. I will never forget that terrifying experience. Neither will I ever want to show off again.
概要写作
(2021·杭州高二检测)
阅读下面短文, 根据其内容写一篇60词左右的内容概要。
Teens are shopping like their parents during the back-to-school season. That is putting a lot of stress on retailers (零售商). They must change the way they market to them. Gone is the spending craziness that starts weeks before school bells ring. More teens are careful about spending money. It is a habit picked up from their downturn (经济低迷)-troubled parents.
Today’s kids recycle more clothes from the last school year. Kids mix and match the old with the new. They get different looks. They also shop year-round for things they need. It means they are spending less money this time of year. They are less likely to get anything that is not on sale when they do buy. And the number of kids who will reuse last year’s items rose to 39 percent. That goes up from 26 percent between 2011 and 2018. Families with school-age kids will most likely spend an average of $630. 36 this year. It is down 6 percent from last year. The results have shown drops for four out of the past seven years.
Teens’ behavior is similar to how their parents learned to shop since 2008. That was when retailers pushed discounts. The idea was to get people to buy during the downturn. It helped draw shoppers. But it also got them to love deals. The change made it hard for stores to make money. That is because the discounts cut into the amount of money they made.
The shift is changing how stores market to teens. Normally stores’ promotions would end around Labor Day. Now they are making them go through September. They are also pulling together complete outfits from different brands in stores. It makes it easier for teens to buy different looks. And they are using social media campaigns to be more easily seen by teens. Teens no longer want to look exactly like their friends. They want to personalize their looks. That behavior makes it hard for retailers to influence specific looks. Retailers have to do more marketing to attract teens.

A
If you are a teenager without a job, you probably do not have much extra money. Sometimes parents will give their children pocket money for doing small housework, but it is often not enough once the children grow into teenagers and want to do things with their friends all of the time. How to make money is an important thing for teens to learn. If you’re wondering how a teenager can make good money, some ideas might be:
Getting a part-time job at a local restaurant or store is always a sure way to make money as a teen. But getting a job somewhere like this might be hard, considering many jobs in local stores are being taken by adults more and more often.
Doing landscaping (绿化) is something that most adults do not like to do, and teens can usually find jobs around their neighborhood doing the landscaping of friends and family.
Some teens are good at something such as writing or photography. These teens can make money by doing things such as writing articles for newspapers or magazines or selling their photos online.
Teens who live in a country area can earn money by helping out on farms, or they can try raising their own animals such as chickens, and selling them or their products.
Looking for jobs can seem hard at first, but if you have a try, it should not be too hard to find a job or way to make money.
21. What problem do teenagers have to face when finding a job in local stores
A. Low pay.
B. Heavy work.
C. Long working hours.
D. Competition with adults.
22. What can we learn from the text
A. Most adults hate doing landscaping.
B. Getting a part-time job is hard for teens.
C. Pocket money from parents is often enough for teens.
D. Teens can’t make money by writing articles for newspapers or magazines.
23. What can be the best title for the text
A. The Necessary Skills to Make Money.
B. How Important Is Money to a Teenager
C. How Can a Teenager Make Extra Money
D. Teenagers Should Depend on Themselves.

Young people’s career expectations have become more concentrated in fewer occupations (职业) over the past two decades though social media and technologies like Artificial Intelligence(AI) are developing rapidly, according to a report from the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD). Traditional occupations from the 19th and 20th centuries, such as lawyers and police officers, continue to trap (使陷入) the imaginations of young people around the world as they did nearly 20 years ago.
The report, based on a latest survey of the 15-year-olds in 41 countries, said the career expectations of youngsters may be “antiquated and unrealistic”. Nearly half of young people around the world wish to work in just 10 of the most common professions. The surveys show that too many teenagers are ignoring, or don’t know, new types of jobs that are coming up, particularly as a result of digitalization (数字化). It is a concern that more young people than before appear to be picking their dream job from a small list of the most popular, traditional occupations, like teachers, lawyers or business managers.
The report found that among boys and girls who perform similarly in science, boys are more likely to expect to work in science and engineering. The top 10 occupations preferred by boys have changed very little since 2000—but girls are now more likely to want to be architects, police officers, and designers rather than hairdressers or writers.
The report also found a broader range of career expectations in countries with strong and firm occupational training for teenagers. For example, in Germany teenagers show a much wider range of career interests that better reflect patterns of labour market demands. More than a third of students in the UK report a lack of career advice at schools and colleges. Young people’s wishes are set as young as age seven, and do not change enough over time to meet demands.
24. What does the underlined word “antiquated”in Paragraph 2 probably mean
A. Outdated. B. Uncertain.
C. Purposeful. D. Demanding.
25. How does the author feel about the young’s job interest
A. Puzzled. B. Surprised.
C. Satisfied. D. Worried.
26. What measure can widen career interests of the youth
A. Strengthening the occupational training for teenagers.
B. Offering more new types of occupations with high pay.
C. Advertising new types of occupations on social media.
D. Enriching the occupation imaginations of young people.
27. What is the best title for the text
A. New Occupations for Young People
B. Young People’s Career Expectations
C. The Occupational Training for Teenagers
D. The Different Demands in Labour Market

Please take a few seconds and think of your personal biggest goal. Imagine telling someone you meet today what you’re going to do. Imagine their congratulations and their high image of you. Doesn’t it feel good to say it out loud Don’t you feel one step closer already Well, bad news: you should have kept your mouth shut, because that good feeling will make you less likely to do it.
Any time you have a goal, there is some work that needs to be done to achieve it. Ideally, you would not be satisfied until you’d actually done the work. But when you tell someone your goal and he acknowledges (认可) it, psychologists have found it’s called a “social reality”. The mind is kind of tricked into feeling that it’s already done. And then, because you’ve felt that satisfaction, you’re less motivated to do the actual hard work necessary. This goes against the traditional wisdom that we should tell our friends our goals, right
In 1982, Peter Gollwitzer, a Professor of Psychology, wrote a whole book about this. And in 2009, he did some new tests that were published. It goes like this: 163 people across four separate tests—everyone wrote down their personal goal. Then half of them announced their commitment (许诺) to this goal to the room, and half didn’t. Then everyone was given 45 minutes of work that would directly lead them towards their goal, but they were told that they could stop at any time. Now those who kept their mouths shut worked the entire 45 minutes on average, and when asked afterwards, said they felt they had a long way to go to achieve their goal. But those who had announced it quit after only 33 minutes on average, and when asked afterwards, said that they felt much closer to achieving their goal.
28. What do the underlined words “social reality” in Paragraph 2 mean
A. Completion of the goal.
B. Necessary hard work.
C. People’s acknowledgement.
D. A sense of satisfaction.
29. What does Peter Gollwitzer try to tell us
A. Writing down the goal is very helpful.
B. Achieving personal goal needs more time.
C. Keeping the goal secret makes people work harder.
D. Making the goal public makes people less satisfied.
30. How did Peter Gollwitzer prove his idea about people’s goal
A. By giving figures.
B. By giving examples.
C. By making a survey.
D. By making comparison tests.
31. What will probably happen if you tell your friends your goal
A. You will be more confident.
B. You will not gain satisfaction.
C. You are less likely to realize it.
D. You’ll be much more motivated.
D
People are being tricked into Facebook with the promise of a fun, free service without realizing they’re paying for it by giving up loads of personal information.
Most Facebook users don’t realize this is happening. Even if they know what the company is up to, they still have no idea what they’re paying for Facebook because people don’t really know what their personal data is worth.
The biggest problem, however, is that the company keeps changing the rules. Early on, you could keep everything private. That was the great thing about Facebook—you could create your own little private network. Last year, the company changed its privacy rules so that many things—your city, your photo, your friends’ names—were set, by default (默认), to be shared with everyone on the Internet.
According to Facebook’s vice-president Elliot Schrage, the company is simply making changes to improve its service, and if people don’t share information. They have a “less satisfying experience. ”
Some critics think this is more about Facebook looking to make more money. Its original business model, which involved selling ads and putting them at the side of the page, totally failed. Who wants to look at ads when they’re online connecting with their friends
The privacy issue has already landed Facebook in hot water in Washington. In April, Senator Charles Schumer called on Facebook to change its privacy policy. He also urged the Federal Trade Commission to set guidelines for social networking sites. “I think the senator rightly communicated that we had not been clear about what the new products were and how people could choose to use them or not to use them, ” Schrage admits.
I suspect that whatever Facebook has done so far to invade our privacy, it’s only the beginning, which is why I’m considering cancelling my account. Facebook is a handy site, but I’m upset by the idea that my information is in the hands of people I don’t know. That’s too high a price to pay.
32. What do we learn about Facebook from the first paragraph
A. It is a website that sends messages to users who want to get married.
B. It earns money by putting on advertisements.
C. It makes money by selling its users’ personal data.
D. It provides loads of information to its users.
33. What does the author say about most Facebook users
A. They are unwilling to give up their personal information.
B. They don’t know their personal data enriches Facebook.
C. They don’t identify themselves when using the website.
D. They care very little about their personal information.
34. Why does Facebook make changes to its rules according to Elliot Schrage
A. To provide better service to its users.
B. To obey the Federal guidelines.
C. To improve its users’ connection.
D. To expand its business.
35. Why does the author plan to cancel his Facebook account
A. He is dissatisfied with its present service.
B. He finds many of its users untrustworthy.
C. He doesn’t want his personal data badly used.
D. He is upset by its frequent rule changes.

阅读下面材料, 根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段, 使之构成一篇完整的短文。
“If mum finds out that I’m going to the beach, I’ll be in big trouble. ” I said to myself softly in a low voice.
I went downstairs slowly and tried to walk casually into the kitchen. As I was walking towards the back door, mum asked without looking up from her “dish-washing”, “Where are you going ” I answered back without hesitation, “I am going to the garden to play. ” After I got out of the kitchen, I breathed a sign of relief. My plan had worked out fine so far. I climbed the fence and jumped onto the muddy field next to my house and started running towards the bus stop at top speed.
After half an hour I was at the beach scanning the crowd for my friends, Jimmy and Bobby. Two young men were racing in the canoes (独木舟). After a while, I saw them near a coconut tree. I ran towards them and got into my swimming trunk (游泳裤). For about an hour, we played volleyball happily.
Suddenly, Bobby hit the ball too hard and the ball fell into the sea. Just as Bobby was going to pick up the ball, the tide came in and carried the ball further and further away from the shore. I wanted to show off my swimming skills so I declared to help get the ball for them.
I dived into the water and started swimming at a steady pace. After swimming for about ten minutes, I became tired but when I saw that the ball was only a few feet away from me, I put in an extra burst of speed. However, just as I was going to get the ball, a very strong current swept the ball further away from me. At that moment, a string of weed(海草)tangled (缠绕) up with my feet and I could not swim properly.
I struggled to keep afloat but it was no use. “If I had listened to my parents, this would never have happened, ” I thought silently.
注意: 续写词数应为150左右。
Finally, after struggling for a minute or two, I still got pulled underwater.

概要写作
(2021·杭州高二检测)
阅读下面短文, 根据其内容写一篇60词左右的内容概要。
Teens are shopping like their parents during the back-to-school season. That is putting a lot of stress on retailers (零售商). They must change the way they market to them. Gone is the spending craziness that starts weeks before school bells ring. More teens are careful about spending money. It is a habit picked up from their downturn (经济低迷)-troubled parents.
Today’s kids recycle more clothes from the last school year. Kids mix and match the old with the new. They get different looks. They also shop year-round for things they need. It means they are spending less money this time of year. They are less likely to get anything that is not on sale when they do buy. And the number of kids who will reuse last year’s items rose to 39 percent. That goes up from 26 percent between 2011 and 2018. Families with school-age kids will most likely spend an average of $630. 36 this year. It is down 6 percent from last year. The results have shown drops for four out of the past seven years.
Teens’ behavior is similar to how their parents learned to shop since 2008. That was when retailers pushed discounts. The idea was to get people to buy during the downturn. It helped draw shoppers. But it also got them to love deals. The change made it hard for stores to make money. That is because the discounts cut into the amount of money they made.
The shift is changing how stores market to teens. Normally stores’ promotions would end around Labor Day. Now they are making them go through September. They are also pulling together complete outfits from different brands in stores. It makes it easier for teens to buy different looks. And they are using social media campaigns to be more easily seen by teens. Teens no longer want to look exactly like their friends. They want to personalize their looks. That behavior makes it hard for retailers to influence specific looks. Retailers have to do more marketing to attract teens.
