Live-stream marketing: A rural rags-to-riches story
For many years, quality agricultural products were unable to sell in faraway provinces. ____1____ It prevented them from accessing a wider, urban client. In most cases, because farmers failed to directly reach consumers, their heavy physical labor resulted in very little income. In this regard, live-stream marketing may appeal to young migrant workers and convince them to return home in the countryside. ____2____
In Yunnan Province, southwest China, live-stream marketing is currently the most popular way of pushing local products to consumers across the country. ____3____ It is turning the smartphone into a new farming tool by fashioning new shopping centers. Live-streaming has greatly boosted the province’s produce sales in the past two years. We now have a great business model in place, combining products with high-quality live stream platforms and support packages from the government. ____4____ Anyway, the continuous development of live-stream marketing is ready to play a big role in raising rural incomes in relatively backward provinces like Yunnan. E-commerce live-streaming is doing pretty well nowadays, but farm produce only accounts for a small share, mainly due to the lack of experienced hosts and infrastructure in rural areas.
____5____ How to grow live stream marketing for farm products Short videos or live-streams, the key is to meet consumers’ demand. High-quality products alone aren’t enough; they must consider buyers’ preferences as well.
A．There arises a question.

C．The expansion of 5G technology is a vital contribution.
D．The biggest barrier is lack of efficient marketing channels.
E．China has a tradition of intensive cultivation and a huge rural population.

VR and the Olympics: changing what viewers can experience

●____8____
Due to the pandemic situation, the events this year weren’t open to the public, which means getting close to the action was going to require some technological intervention.
By live-casting sport games in 360 VR video, viewers can experience never-before-seen immersiveness (沉浸感), and truly feel like they’re in the field with their favorite athletes! So, it makes sense that the Olympics turned to VR to give viewers a close view of all the events.
●Overcome practical difficulties
Both the Winter Olympics and its Paralympics equivalent were held in Beijing this year, which aren’t easy to reach for most of us in the West. Thus, the application of VR technology helps relay (转播) the Olympics despite geographical distance.
And when it comes to the Winter Olympics, there is a lot not so enjoyable. There is no amount of gloves and layers that will put off the cold long enough for you to enjoy the skiing. ____9____

Live-stream marketing: A rural rags-to-riches story
For many years, quality agricultural products were unable to sell in faraway provinces. ____1____ It prevented them from accessing a wider, urban client. In most cases, because farmers failed to directly reach consumers, their heavy physical labor resulted in very little income. In this regard, live-stream marketing may appeal to young migrant workers and convince them to return home in the countryside. ____2____
In Yunnan Province, southwest China, live-stream marketing is currently the most popular way of pushing local products to consumers across the country. ____3____ It is turning the smartphone into a new farming tool by fashioning new shopping centers. Live-streaming has greatly boosted the province’s produce sales in the past two years. We now have a great business model in place, combining products with high-quality live stream platforms and support packages from the government. ____4____ Anyway, the continuous development of live-stream marketing is ready to play a big role in raising rural incomes in relatively backward provinces like Yunnan. E-commerce live-streaming is doing pretty well nowadays, but farm produce only accounts for a small share, mainly due to the lack of experienced hosts and infrastructure in rural areas.
____5____ How to grow live stream marketing for farm products Short videos or live-streams, the key is to meet consumers’ demand. High-quality products alone aren’t enough; they must consider buyers’ preferences as well.
A．There arises a question.
B．Government policies and guidance should follow up.
C．The expansion of 5G technology is a vital contribution.
D．The biggest barrier is lack of efficient marketing channels.
E．China has a tradition of intensive cultivation and a huge rural population.
F．But we should establish a complete supply chain based on strict standards.
G．Once back they can introduce more digitally advanced approaches to agricultural management.

VR and the Olympics: changing what viewers can experience
The 2022 Beijing Winter Olympics was full of breakthroughs. It is the biggest Olympics’ news and media coverage so far. ____6____
Though VR headsets have been widely accepted across industries such as gaming and tourism, their uses haven’t fully been explored. ____7____ That’s why we are here to clarify VR’s effects on the Olympics.
●____8____
Due to the pandemic situation, the events this year weren’t open to the public, which means getting close to the action was going to require some technological intervention.
By live-casting sport games in 360 VR video, viewers can experience never-before-seen immersiveness (沉浸感), and truly feel like they’re in the field with their favorite athletes! So, it makes sense that the Olympics turned to VR to give viewers a close view of all the events.
●Overcome practical difficulties
Both the Winter Olympics and its Paralympics equivalent were held in Beijing this year, which aren’t easy to reach for most of us in the West. Thus, the application of VR technology helps relay (转播) the Olympics despite geographical distance.
And when it comes to the Winter Olympics, there is a lot not so enjoyable. There is no amount of gloves and layers that will put off the cold long enough for you to enjoy the skiing. ____9____
But with a VR headset, you can see all the action just from the comfort of your home, saving yourself the realistic troubles.
●Watch whenever you want
The VR experience offered far more than just a comfortable place to watch. ____10____ In other words, it means you can watch your favourite moments over and over again. There is also footage (镜头) of the opening and closing ceremony available, so that you can appreciate another aspect of the successful Olympics.
A．Pay an on-site visit
B．Have an up-close look
C．There was live and on demand coverage available.
D．However, virtual reality is very important in our lives.
E．Unfortunately, this was also the case for the Olympics.
F．It is also where virtual reality really enters the golden period.
G．There is also a lot of standing around and waiting for an event.
（2022·江苏·新沂市第一中学模拟预测）Dynamic clearing
Dynamic clearing policy means stamping out an outbreak whenever it occurs and doing so in a relatively short time frame so it won’t lead to community spread. It does not mean the whole country has no infected cases. ____11____.
Putting people first
China’s dynamic clearing approach is characterized by its adherence to the principle of “people and life first”. The number of deaths attributable to the Omicron variant of the virus is more than those caused by the Delta variant. The WHO has rightly called the death toll “beyond tragic”.
With the largest senior population in the world, China has a sizable number of people with chronic underlying diseases such as hypertension and diabetes. ____12____.
A scientific approach
The dynamic clearing policy China has adopted is a scientific approach to fighting the novel coronavirus in line with its national conditions. It is wrong to consider the Omicron variant of the virus as no worse than the virus that causes the common flu.
It is irresponsible for some politicians to compare infections of the Omicron variant to a “flu”. ____13____. They do so out of a cynical need to cover up their failure in responding to it.
____14____
Dynamic clearance measures change in accordance with the situation. If an outbreak is detected early, health workers only need to quarantine and treat patients while keeping an eye on quarantined close contacts.
Under the policy, so long as there is no community spread it is acceptable for cases to exist in quarantine because they are temporarily isolated.
Supporting the global economy
The dynamic clearing policy has so far proved successful in striking a delicate balance between maintaining economic and social development and controlling the spread of the virus.
____15____, enabling it to resume its economic activities and keep transmission of the virus localized whenever a cluster of infections appears.
A．A timely strategy.
B．Changing the world.
C．It is not supported by any scientific evidence.
D．Here are some reasons to stick to dynamic clearing policy.
E．It is this policy that has made it possible for China to control the virus most rapidly.
F．This has enabled China to continue to serve as the bedrock of the global supply chain.
G．China’s public health system would face unbearable pressure from a nationwide outbreak.

44．根据上文“Our ability to learn language develops when we are young. Sounds heard as infants, or even in the womb, set the stage for language learning later. Baby cooing is the result of babies’ analysis of the languages spoken to them.(我们学习语言的能力在我们小时候就发展起来了。婴儿时期听到的声音，甚至在子宫里听到的声音，都为后来的语言学习奠定了基础。婴儿的咕咕声是婴儿分析对他们说的语言的结果)”以及后文“Children exposed to multiple languages early in life, and growing up multilingual, develop enhanced cognitive functions.(儿童在生命早期接触多种语言，并在多语言环境中长大，可以增强认知功能)”可知，后文提到了儿童的生命早期接触多种语言，即指的是婴儿时期就开了练习，故F选项“婴儿正在练习他们交流所需的发音”符合语境，故选F。

52．根据上文“We have projects that sit waiting to be completed. Some people start college but never graduate. We have books that we never finish reading(我们有一些项目等待完成。有些人上了大学却从未毕业，我们有些书永远看不完)”可知，这里举了三个半途而废的例子，下句会以一个概括句的形式进行总结收尾。选项A“The list goes on and on.(这样的例子不胜枚举)”符合语义，故选A。
53．根据上文“Not finishing what we started has been a repeated problem for us. We have to face it.(对我们来说，开始的事情没有完成是一个反复出现的问题。我们要面对它)”可知，这里讲述半途而废是一个反复出现的问题，则下句要解释这一问题有哪些弊端，选项G“Not being a strong finisher can limit our ability to conquer our goals.(不能成为一个强大的终结者会限制我们征服目标的能力)”，符合语义，引出下文“Whenever we delay, or put to the side, the things that will help us accomplish our goals, we stop developing our potential.(每当我们拖延或搁置那些有助于我们实现目标的事情时，我们就会停止开发自己的潜力)”讲拖延会停止开发自己的潜力。故选G。
54．根据上文“Consider this: every time I begin a new exercise program my muscles are sore for a few days. After a few weeks of routine, the muscles get accustomed to the program and grow stronger. Thus, no more sore muscles. Well, when I take some time off I fear starting again.(想象一下：每次我重新锻炼，我的肌肉会疼好几天。但经过几周的常规训练，肌肉会适应这个训练计划，变得更强壮，这时就没有了肌肉酸痛。但当我休假的时候，我害怕重新开始)”可知，重新开始意味着新一轮的肌肉酸痛。选项E“I know that my muscles are going to be sore again.(我知道我的肌肉又要酸痛了)”符合语义，故选E。
55．根据上文“Along with the huge feeling of accomplishment, other people will begin to notice the change.(伴随着巨大的成就感，其他人也会开始注意到这种变化)”可知，下句会引出其他人看到的变化内容。选项F“They will see we are able to climb and conquer the mountain.(他们将看到我们能够攀登和征服这座山)”符合语义，故选F。

57．上一段讲作者在整理抽屉时发现童年的泰迪熊，勾起他的美好回忆，下文“I once had thrown away a pair of running shoes that reminded me of the difficult days.(我曾经扔掉了一双跑鞋，它让我想起了那些艰难的日子)”讲作者会扔掉带来不好回忆的旧物品，C项“Not all objects make such welcome memories, however.(然而，并不是所有的物品都有这样的美好回忆)”与上文构成转折关系，引出下文。故选C项。
58．上文“First, volunteers were shown how to create connections between an item and negative emotions. They did this using vivid mental imagery (意象) — linking a child’s sports shoes to images of a playground accident, for example, so that the object became uncomfortable to have nearby.(首先，研究人员向志愿者展示了如何在物品和负面情绪之间建立联系。他们利用生动的心理意象来实现它，例如，将儿童的运动鞋和操场事故图片联系起来，这样这一物品的存在就会让人感到不舒服)”提到研究人员首先展示如何让人们在物品和负面情绪之间建立联系，下文“And this turned out to be more than just a temporary distraction (分心). It gradually weakened the bad memories — in some cases, erasing them altogether.(事实证明，这不仅仅是暂时的分心。它逐渐削弱了不好的记忆，在某些情况下，完全抹去了它们)”讲这种负面情绪，即不好的记忆，被削弱或抹去。G项“Later, they were shown how to actively forget those feelings by pushing away any pictures. (然后，研究人员向他们展示了如何通过排斥画面来主动忘记这些情绪)”介绍了削弱或抹去负面情绪的方法，下文是其结果，上下文语意连贯，且G项中“Later, they were shown how to...”与上文“First, volunteers were shown how to...”相照应。故选G项。
59．下文“And you can strengthen both of these factors when you want to remember. For example: pick up a favourite present and enjoy the pictures it brings to mind. On the other hand, when you want to forget the bad associations, practice pushing away any images.(当你想要记忆的时候，你可以加强这两个因素。比如，拿起一件最喜欢的礼物，享受它带给你的画面。另一方面，当你想要忘记不好的联想时，练习排斥任何画面)”通过举例的方式证明，记忆可以强化，与联想和画面有关，B项“It shows that recall relies on associations and images. (这表明回忆依赖于联想和画面)”是段首中心句，下文是对它的阐述，同时B项是对上一段中实验结果的总结，上下文语意连贯。故选B项。
60．根据前文可知，回忆依赖于联想和画面，我们可以选择记住美好的事情。上文“The pictures you attach to things can connect you to some extremely powerful memories, for good or bad.(你附加在事物上的画面可以将你与一些极其强大的记忆联系起来，它们可能是美好的记忆，也可能是糟糕的记忆)”讲我们的记忆可能是美好的，也可能是糟糕的，因为有了前文中的方法，所以我们可以“选择记住美好的事情”。E项“But the good news is that you can choose to remember the good things.(但好消息是，你可以选择记住美好的事情)”与上文构成转折关系，上下文语意连贯。故选E项。
