Welcome to the Heroes Stamp Design Competition! Children aged 4-14years are invited to design a stamp. Eight designs will be chosen for this stamp series from the Royal Mail. One of the designs could be yours. There are 120 great prizes on offer for area winners and runners-up. Plus, cash prizes for the winning schools too.
Stamp Designing
The stamp design will be based on your hero or heroes of the coronavirus pandemic. The past year has been very difficult for so many people. There are countless frontline workers and volunteers who have continued to work tirelessly to keep the country moving.
Being a stamp designer is a very skilled job. One of the jobs of a stamp designer is to reduce the size of a picture to fit the stamp. When designing your stamp, have a think about what kind of image of your hero or heroes would make a good miniature (微型的) design for a stamp. The final stamps produced will be about 3.7cm wide×3.5cm high.
Things to consider

In 1885, a young doctor named Conan Doyle opened offices in London. He wanted to be a successful doctor, but for some reasons he never found enough patients. To pass the time, he began to write stories and send them to the newspapers.
Conan Doyle's stories were about a clever detective, Sherlock Holmes. Conan Doyle wrote that Sherlock Holmes lived in Baker Street in London, and people with problems came to him for help. Even police detectives came to Sherlock Holmes with their problems, too. He was able to solve mysteries that the cleverest policemen in England were unable to figure out. Sometimes Sherlock Holmes could solve a mystery without leaving his chair. He listened carefully to the information his client (委托人) gave and figured out the answer. At other times he spent days or weeks looking for clues. Sherlock Holmes traveled to different cities and countries to solve the mysteries. Sometimes he wore disguises, pretending to be an old man, or a sailor. Holmes did anything to find out the answer to the mysteries he was working on. His best friend Dr. Watson kept him company (陪伴) on most of his adventures.
Sherlock Holmes is the most famous detective in English literature, but many people don't understand that he is a fictional character, not a real person. The English post offices report that people still send mail to Sherlock Holmes in Baker Street. Even he gets more than 2,000 letters every year.

A. he had plenty of time
B. he wanted to make more money

D. he wanted to tell something about his patients
42、It can be inferred from the passage that ______.
A. many people asked Conan Doyle to solve their mysteries
B. Conan Doyle got a lot of experience in solving mysteries
C. Conan Doyle was a person with great literary quality and talent
D. Conan Doyle was able to help those who came to see him with their problems
43、The phrase "wore disguises" in the second paragraph means ______.
A. introduced oneself
B. seemed to be poor and helpless
C. was in old clothes
D. changed one's clothes or one's appearance
44、Which of the following is TRUE
A. In 1885, a young doctor named Conan Doyle opened offices in Paris.
B. The character Conan Doyle wrote about was thought to be a real person by many people.
C. To earn a lot of money, Conan Doyle began to write stories.
D. Sherlock Holmes is still living in Baker Street and gets more than 2,000 letters.
Honeybees rely heavily on flower patterns not just colors when searching for food, new research shows.
A team led by the University of Exeter tested bee behaviour and built bee’s-eye-view simulations (模拟装置) to work out how they see flowers.
Honeybees have low resolution vision, so they can only see a flower’s pattern clearly when they are within few centimeters. However, the new’ study shows bees can very effectively distinguish between different flowers by using a combination of colour and pattern.
In a series of tests, bees rarely ignored pattern, suggesting colour alone does not lead them to flowers. This may help to explain why some colours that are visible to bees are rarely produced by flowers in nature.
“We studied a large amount of data on plants and bee behaviour,” said Professor Natalie Hempel, from Centre for Research in Animal Behaviour. “By training and testing bees using man-made patterns of shape and colour, we found they relied flexibly on their ability to see both of these elements. Showing how insects see colour and learn colour patterns is important to understand how pollinators (传粉者) may, or may not, create evolutionary ‘pressures’ on the colours and patterns that flowers have evolved (进化). Our findings suggest that flowers don’t need to evolve too many different flower colours, because they can use patterns to vary their displays so bees can tell them apart from other flowers.”
One typical feature identified in the study is that the outside edges of flowers usually contrast strongly with the plant’s leaves while the centre of the flower does not have such a strong contrast with the leaf colour. This could help bees quickly identify colour differences and find their way to flowers.
While flowers may be beautiful to humans, Professor Hempel stressed that understanding more about bees and the threats they face meant we need to see the world “through the eyes of a bee and the mind of a bee.”
45、What does the new research focus on
A. The source of bees’ food supply. B. The evolution of bees’ behavior.
C. The effect of bees’ poor eyesight. D. The way of bees finding flowers.
46、What aspect of research into bees did Hempel highlight
A. Research data. B. Research methods.
C. Research objects. D. Research frequency.
47、According to the passage, which statement is true
A. Bees an see a flower’s pattern clearly from a distance.
B. After some training, bees can identify both colors and shapes.
C. Flowers try to produce colors visible to bees.
D. Professor Hempel stressed we need to see the world with a bee’s eyes.
48、What does Hempel think of flowers trying to evolve more colours
A. It’s not a must. B. It’s a pressing need.
C. It’s beyond belief. D. It’s a temporary solution.
49、What’s paragraph 6 mainly about
A. An explanation of the research intention.
B. Dramatic changes in the research strategy.
C. Conflict between different research outcomes.
D. Supporting evidence for the research findings.
Since the early to mid-2010s, social media apps have made a permanent home in many people’s phones, and spending time on social media has become as much of a daily activity as drinking water. Since so many people are on it for much of their days—especially kids, teens, and young adults—there is increased concern over what social media is doing to people.
Many argue that social media is an unhealthy way to pass the time, and that false information from online is causing confusion and panic. This type of thing happens with every generation when something new that people don’t understand comes along: So many people thought rock-and-roll was making teens morally bad, which really wasn’t the case. It is fair to say that the teenage years are hard, and that teens need an escape. Back before phones, teens would listen to rock music as a form of escapism, or they would watch TV, go to the movies, skate around, or dress up in crazy clothes. Unfortunately, all of those things at one point in time were blamed for being a bad influence on young people. Social media is the new rock-and-roll: it’s a new thing, and people demonize(妖魔化)change.
For example, many believe that everything on social media apps is filtered(加滤镜)and that seeing perfect people and their perfectly edited lives often leads to lots of negative emotions. However, models, magazines. and movies have been using retouching(修整)tools for photos and media since Photoshop and other post-production services were invented. Social media has made it easier to see more edited pictures, but social media itself isn’t making people want to look a certain way. People should acknowledge that these pictures aren’t authentic, and the posts are made to look good on purpose. Social media is not to blame for body confidence issues when the things people want to look like aren’t even real in the first place.
It seems like most issues around social media are user errors, like anyone complaining there are too many people being addicted to social media. However, not everyone is addicted to social media; people who have any grasp on reality wouldn’t spend every waking second on the phone. It is really up to the individual how they use social media. Keeping up with the flood of posts, stories, and photos takes a lot of time—many young people admit that they spend hours on their phones every day. Yet, this seems like an easy problem to solve when the solution is simply clicking off the phone a couple hours early. Therefore, it is clear that moderation(适度)is the key to dealing with all the issues around social media.
50、According to para 1, what has happened since the early to mid-2010s
A. social media apps have made a forever home in many mobile phone stores.
B. people have spent as much time on social media as in drinking water
C. people have downloaded social media apps and spent long time on it
D. Social media apps have been brought home by kids, teens, and young adults
51、Why does the author mention “rock-and-roll” in Paragraph 2
A. To demonstrate the advantages of social media.
B. To predict the future development of social media.
C. To explain why social media is regarded as negative.
D. To analyze why social media becomes so popular today.
52、What does the author think of posting edited photos on social media apps
A. Understandable. B. Disturbing. C. Intolerable. D. Convincing
53、Why do some people spend a lot of time on their phones
A. Because they have grasp on reality
B. Because they want to know what happens.
C. Because they can keep up with the modern trend.
D. Because they are looking for a solution to the errors.
54、What does the text advise people to do about social media
A. Make the best use of it.
B. Completely stay away from it.
C. Prohibit young people from using it.
D. Spend reasonable amounts of time on it.
55、Which of the following is a suitable title for the text
A. What makes us so addicted to social media
B. Why is social media so popular among teenagers
C. Should we depend on social media for information
D. Is it right to blame social media for all the problems
Roy Austin first experienced an African adventure in 2018. All he wanted to do was get close to some African wildlife. Although Roy did realize this dream, he found something even more meaningful in Africa.
Roy spent time in many countries throughout East Africa. He was most interested in the people of rural Kenya, especially people of the Amboseli Primary and Secondary School.
During his stay, Roy became friends with several students and teachers at the school. He was deeply touched by their positive attitude, even though it was hard for them to get books and other school supplies. Even finding basic stationary was a challenge, not to mention the lack of school buildings.
In rural Kenya, school buildings are not built by the government. Students, their parents, and teachers find materials and build the schools themselves, or they have to raise money to get builders’ help. Without schools, buildings like libraries and classrooms are just dreams. The students and teachers of the schools very much wanted a library or at least some books to read.
After returning home to South Carolina in the United States, the Kenyan students’ yearning for something as seemingly “basic” as books to read still worried Roy. He decided to do whatever he could to help these children. So he started the organization Libraries for Kids International.
Since it was started, Roy has shipped over 11,000 books to 11 schools in African countries, including Kenya and Tanzania. To keep costs down, he uses the post office to send the books instead of a carrier like FedEx. The organization has helped to supply these schools with much-needed books, which brought Roy much happiness. He plans to continue shipping books to Africa.
56、What was the main purpose of Roy’s 2018 trip to Africa (no more than 5 words.)
57、Who built school buildings in rural Kenya (no more than 15 words)
58、What can the underlined word “yearning” in paragraph 5 be replaced by (no more than 5 words)
59、What is the main idea of the passage (no more than 15 words).
60、What do you think of Roy And why (no more than 25 words).
四、书面表达

41、答案：A
解析：细节理解题。根据文章第一段"To pass the time, he began to write stories and send them to the newspapers.(为了打发时间，他便开始写故事，并将写的故事发送到报社里)"可知，Conan Doyle开始写故事可能是因为时间太多了，为了打发时间。故选A。
42、答案：C
解析：推理判断题。根据文章最后一段"Sherlock Holmes is the most famous detective in English literature, but many people don't understand that he is a fictional character, not a real person.(Sherlock Holmes是英国文学史上有名的人物，但是很多人不知道他只是一个小说人物，并非真实存在的人)"可知，Conan Doyle创作的人物让人们以为是真实存在的人物。由此推知，Conan Doyle是一个文学素养和文学天赋很高的人。故选C。
43、答案：D
解析：词句猜测题。根据文章第二段"Sometimes he wore disguises, pretending to be an old man, or a sailor. Holmes did anything to find out the answer to the mysteries he was working on.(有时他会乔装打扮一下，假装自己是一个老人，或者一个水手。为了找出事实的真相，他可以做任何事)"可知，此处后文"pretending to be an old man, or a sailor(假装成一个老年人或者一个水手)"是对"wore disguises"的解释。由此推知，划线词组"wore disguises"意思是"乔装打扮"。故选D。

解析：细节理解题。根据第一段第一句Since the early to mid-2010s，social media apps have made a permanent home in many people's phones，and spending time on social media has become as much of a daily activity as drinking water.（自20 l0年代初至中期以来，社交媒体应用程序已经在许多人的手机中占据了永久的位置，花时间在社交媒体上已经和喝水一样成为日常活动。）可知，自20 l0年代初至中期以来，人们下载社交媒体应用程序，并花很长时间在上面。故选C。
51、答案：C
解析：推理判断题。根据第二段中This type of thing happens with every generation when something new that people don't understand comes along：So many people thought rock-and-roll was making teens morally bad，which really wasn't the case.It is fair to say that the teenage years are hard，and that teens need an escape.Back before phones，teens would listen to rock music as a form of escapism，or they would watch TV，go to the movies，skate around，or dress up in crazy clothes.Unfortunately，all of those things at one point in time were blamed for being a bad influence on young people.Social media is the new rock-and-roll：it's a new thing，and people demonize（妖魔化）change.（这种情况发生在每一代人身上，当人们不理解的新事物出现时：很多人认为摇滚乐让青少年道德败坏，但事实并非如此。可以公平地说，青少年时代很艰难，青少年需要逃避。在手机之前，青少年会听摇滚音乐作为逃避现实的一种形式，或者他们会看电视、看电影、滑冰，或者穿上疯狂的衣服。不幸的是，所有这些都曾一度被指责对年轻人产生了不良影响。社交媒体是一种新的摇滚乐：这是一种全新的东西，人们将变化妖魔化了。）可知，当人们不理解的新事物出现时，会被指责对年轻人产生了不良影响。社交媒体跟摇滚乐一样，最初也被妖魔化，由此判断，作者在第2段中提到"摇滚乐"是解释为什么社交媒体被认为是负面的。故选C。
52、答案：A
解析：推理判断题。根据第三段中However，models，magazines and movies have been using retouching（修整）tools for photos and media since Photoshop and other post-production services were invented.Social media has made it easier to see more edited pictures，but social media itself isn't making people want to look a certain way.People should acknowledge that these pictures aren't authentic，and the posts are made to look good on purpose.（自从Photoshop和其他后期制作服务发明以来，模特、杂志和电影一直在使用照片和媒体的润饰工具。社交媒体让人们更容易看到更多经过编辑的图片，但社交媒体本身并没有让人们想以某种方式观看。人们应该承认，这些图片不是真实的，这些帖子是故意做得好看的）可知，作者认为社交媒体应用程序上发布经过编辑的照片是可以理解的。故选A。
53、答案：B
解析：细节理解题。根据最后一段Keeping up with the flood of posts，stories，and photos takes a lot of time--many young people admit that they spend hours on their phones every day.（跟上大量的帖子、故事和照片要花很多时间--许多年轻人承认他们每天都要花好几个小时在手机上）可知，有些人花很多时间在手机上是因为他们想知道发生了什么。故选B。
54、答案：D
解析：细节理解题。根据最后一段中Therefore，it is clear that moderation（适度）is the key to dealing with all the issues around social media.（因此，很明显，适度是处理社交媒体周围所有问题的关键。）可知，文章建议人们在社交媒体上合理花费时间。故选D。
55、答案：D
解析：标题概括题。阅读全文，并根据第二段第一句Many argue that social media is an unhealthy way to pass the time，and that false information from online is causing confusion and panic.（许多人认为社交媒体是一种不健康的消磨时间的方式，网上的虚假信息会引起困惑和恐慌）以及最后一段第一句It seems like most issues around social media are user errors，like anyone complaining there are too many people being addicted to social media.（似乎围绕社交媒体的大多数问题都是用户错误，比如有人抱怨有太多人沉迷于社交媒体）和最后一句Therefore，it is clear that moderation（适度）is the key to dealing with all the issues around social media.（因此，很明显，适度是处理社交媒体周围所有问题的关键）可知，文章主要阐述了社交媒体带来的影响，并分析了造成这种现象的原因，作者认为解决社交媒体带来的问题关键是使用者要学会适度。由此可知，选项D"把所有问题都归咎于社交媒体对吗"符合文章主旨，可作为最佳标题。故选D。
56、答案： To see local wildlife.Or: To get close to local wildlife.
解析：目的意图题。根据第一段中All he wanted to do was get close to some African wildlife.（他想做的就是接近一些非洲野生动物。）可知，Roy去非洲的最初目的是看野生动植物。故答案为To see local wildlife.Or: To get close to local wildlife.
57、答案： Students, their parents, and teachers themselves, or they raise money to get builders’ help.
解析：细节理解题。根据倒数第三段中In rural Kenya，school buildings are not built by the government.Students，their parents，and teachers find materials and build the schools themselves，or they have to raise money to get builders' help. （在肯尼亚农村，学校建筑不是由政府建造的。学生、他们的父母和老师自己寻找材料建造学校，或者他们必须筹集资金获得建筑商的帮助。）可知，肯尼亚的学校由政府、学生以及他们的父母、老师以及通过筹集资金获得建筑商的帮助来建造的。故答案为Students，their parents，and teachers themselves，or they raise money to get builders' help。
58、答案： Strong needs.
解析：词义猜测题。根据倒数第三段After returning home to South Carolina in the United States，the Kenyan students' yearning for something as seemingly "basic" as books to read still worried Roy.He decided to do whatever he could to help these children.So he started the organization Libraries for Kids International.（在回到美国南卡罗来纳的家中后，肯尼亚学生们对书籍这种看似"基本"的东西的______仍然让罗伊感到担忧。他决定尽他所能去帮助这些孩子。所以他成立了国际儿童图书馆组织。）可知，肯尼亚的学生们对于像要读的书这样看似"基本"的事情是非常渴望的，因此可以猜测肯尼亚的学生对于读书有着强烈的需求。故划线词yearning与strong needs为同义词，意为"强烈的需求"。故答案为Strong needs。
59、答案： Roy Austin brought the pleasure of reading to Africa.
解析：主旨大意题。通读全文。文章讲述了Roy Austin去非洲旅行时发现了肯尼亚乡村的孩子们缺少基本的学习用品，于是他成立了Libraries for Kids International去帮助这些孩子，送去图书。故答案为Roy Austin brought the pleasure of reading to Africa。
60、答案： He is caring and helpful. He understood that the local people in rural Kenya lived a hard life and managed to help them out.
解析：开放问答题。根据第三段中He was deeply touched by their positive attitude，even though it was hard for them to get books and other school supplies.（尽管他们很难买到书和其他学习用品，但他们积极的态度深深打动了他.）以及根据倒数第二段He decided to do whatever he could to help these children.So he started the organization Libraries for Kids International.（他决定尽他所能去帮助这些孩子。所以他成立了国际儿童图书馆组织.）以及最后一段中Since it was started，Roy has shipped over 11，000 books to 11 schools in African countries，including Kenya and Tanzania.（自创办以来，罗伊已经向包括肯尼亚和坦桑尼亚在内的11所非洲国家的学校运送了1.1万多本书.）可知，Roy了解肯尼亚农村的当地人生活艰难，并设法帮助他们摆脱困境，所以他是非常善良的和愿意帮助人的。故答案为He is caring and helpful.He understood that the local people in rural Kenya lived a hard life and managed to help them out。

Heroes Stamp Design Competition
Welcome to the Heroes Stamp Design Competition! Children aged 4-14years are invited to design a stamp. Eight designs will be chosen for this stamp series from the Royal Mail. One of the designs could be yours. There are 120 great prizes on offer for area winners and runners-up. Plus, cash prizes for the winning schools too.
Stamp Designing
The stamp design will be based on your hero or heroes of the coronavirus pandemic. The past year has been very difficult for so many people. There are countless frontline workers and volunteers who have continued to work tirelessly to keep the country moving.
Being a stamp designer is a very skilled job. One of the jobs of a stamp designer is to reduce the size of a picture to fit the stamp. When designing your stamp, have a think about what kind of image of your hero or heroes would make a good miniature (微型的) design for a stamp. The final stamps produced will be about 3.7cm wide×3.5cm high.
Things to consider
Your stamp design must be drawn on the official competition entry form (报名表) which your teacher will give you.
Your design must be your own original work.
Drawings must be flat, so please don’t stick any materials or textures (纹理) to your design.
Please use lots of colour (no black and white images) in your design.
Please avoid using highlighter pens (荧光笔).
Good Luck
The closing date for the competition is 28th May. Please ask your teacher, or parent, for one of the official entry forms. You’re then ready to start designing! We can’t wait to see all of the amazing designs from gifted children across the country.

In 1885, a young doctor named Conan Doyle opened offices in London. He wanted to be a successful doctor, but for some reasons he never found enough patients. To pass the time, he began to write stories and send them to the newspapers.
Conan Doyle's stories were about a clever detective, Sherlock Holmes. Conan Doyle wrote that Sherlock Holmes lived in Baker Street in London, and people with problems came to him for help. Even police detectives came to Sherlock Holmes with their problems, too. He was able to solve mysteries that the cleverest policemen in England were unable to figure out. Sometimes Sherlock Holmes could solve a mystery without leaving his chair. He listened carefully to the information his client (委托人) gave and figured out the answer. At other times he spent days or weeks looking for clues. Sherlock Holmes traveled to different cities and countries to solve the mysteries. Sometimes he wore disguises, pretending to be an old man, or a sailor. Holmes did anything to find out the answer to the mysteries he was working on. His best friend Dr. Watson kept him company (陪伴) on most of his adventures.
Sherlock Holmes is the most famous detective in English literature, but many people don't understand that he is a fictional character, not a real person. The English post offices report that people still send mail to Sherlock Holmes in Baker Street. Even he gets more than 2,000 letters every year.
41、Conan Doyle began to write stories perhaps because ______.
A. he had plenty of time
B. he wanted to make more money

42、It can be inferred from the passage that ______.
A. many people asked Conan Doyle to solve their mysteries
B. Conan Doyle got a lot of experience in solving mysteries
C. Conan Doyle was a person with great literary quality and talent
D. Conan Doyle was able to help those who came to see him with their problems
43、The phrase "wore disguises" in the second paragraph means ______.
A. introduced oneself
B. seemed to be poor and helpless
C. was in old clothes
D. changed one's clothes or one's appearance
44、Which of the following is TRUE
A. In 1885, a young doctor named Conan Doyle opened offices in Paris.

Honeybees rely heavily on flower patterns not just colors when searching for food, new research shows.
A team led by the University of Exeter tested bee behaviour and built bee’s-eye-view simulations (模拟装置) to work out how they see flowers.
Honeybees have low resolution vision, so they can only see a flower’s pattern clearly when they are within few centimeters. However, the new’ study shows bees can very effectively distinguish between different flowers by using a combination of colour and pattern.
In a series of tests, bees rarely ignored pattern, suggesting colour alone does not lead them to flowers. This may help to explain why some colours that are visible to bees are rarely produced by flowers in nature.
“We studied a large amount of data on plants and bee behaviour,” said Professor Natalie Hempel, from Centre for Research in Animal Behaviour. “By training and testing bees using man-made patterns of shape and colour, we found they relied flexibly on their ability to see both of these elements. Showing how insects see colour and learn colour patterns is important to understand how pollinators (传粉者) may, or may not, create evolutionary ‘pressures’ on the colours and patterns that flowers have evolved (进化). Our findings suggest that flowers don’t need to evolve too many different flower colours, because they can use patterns to vary their displays so bees can tell them apart from other flowers.”
One typical feature identified in the study is that the outside edges of flowers usually contrast strongly with the plant’s leaves while the centre of the flower does not have such a strong contrast with the leaf colour. This could help bees quickly identify colour differences and find their way to flowers.
While flowers may be beautiful to humans, Professor Hempel stressed that understanding more about bees and the threats they face meant we need to see the world “through the eyes of a bee and the mind of a bee.”
45、What does the new research focus on
A. The source of bees’ food supply. B. The evolution of bees’ behavior.
C. The effect of bees’ poor eyesight. D. The way of bees finding flowers.
46、What aspect of research into bees did Hempel highlight
A. Research data. B. Research methods.
C. Research objects. D. Research frequency.
47、According to the passage, which statement is true
A. Bees an see a flower’s pattern clearly from a distance.
B. After some training, bees can identify both colors and shapes.
C. Flowers try to produce colors visible to bees.
D. Professor Hempel stressed we need to see the world with a bee’s eyes.
48、What does Hempel think of flowers trying to evolve more colours
A. It’s not a must. B. It’s a pressing need.
C. It’s beyond belief. D. It’s a temporary solution.
49、What’s paragraph 6 mainly about
A. An explanation of the research intention.
B. Dramatic changes in the research strategy.
C. Conflict between different research outcomes.
D. Supporting evidence for the research findings.
Since the early to mid-2010s, social media apps have made a permanent home in many people’s phones, and spending time on social media has become as much of a daily activity as drinking water. Since so many people are on it for much of their days—especially kids, teens, and young adults—there is increased concern over what social media is doing to people.
Many argue that social media is an unhealthy way to pass the time, and that false information from online is causing confusion and panic. This type of thing happens with every generation when something new that people don’t understand comes along: So many people thought rock-and-roll was making teens morally bad, which really wasn’t the case. It is fair to say that the teenage years are hard, and that teens need an escape. Back before phones, teens would listen to rock music as a form of escapism, or they would watch TV, go to the movies, skate around, or dress up in crazy clothes. Unfortunately, all of those things at one point in time were blamed for being a bad influence on young people. Social media is the new rock-and-roll: it’s a new thing, and people demonize(妖魔化)change.
For example, many believe that everything on social media apps is filtered(加滤镜)and that seeing perfect people and their perfectly edited lives often leads to lots of negative emotions. However, models, magazines. and movies have been using retouching(修整)tools for photos and media since Photoshop and other post-production services were invented. Social media has made it easier to see more edited pictures, but social media itself isn’t making people want to look a certain way. People should acknowledge that these pictures aren’t authentic, and the posts are made to look good on purpose. Social media is not to blame for body confidence issues when the things people want to look like aren’t even real in the first place.
It seems like most issues around social media are user errors, like anyone complaining there are too many people being addicted to social media. However, not everyone is addicted to social media; people who have any grasp on reality wouldn’t spend every waking second on the phone. It is really up to the individual how they use social media. Keeping up with the flood of posts, stories, and photos takes a lot of time—many young people admit that they spend hours on their phones every day. Yet, this seems like an easy problem to solve when the solution is simply clicking off the phone a couple hours early. Therefore, it is clear that moderation(适度)is the key to dealing with all the issues around social media.
50、According to para 1, what has happened since the early to mid-2010s
A. social media apps have made a forever home in many mobile phone stores.
B. people have spent as much time on social media as in drinking water
C. people have downloaded social media apps and spent long time on it
D. Social media apps have been brought home by kids, teens, and young adults
51、Why does the author mention “rock-and-roll” in Paragraph 2
A. To demonstrate the advantages of social media.
B. To predict the future development of social media.
C. To explain why social media is regarded as negative.
D. To analyze why social media becomes so popular today.
52、What does the author think of posting edited photos on social media apps
A. Understandable. B. Disturbing. C. Intolerable. D. Convincing
53、Why do some people spend a lot of time on their phones
A. Because they have grasp on reality
B. Because they want to know what happens.
C. Because they can keep up with the modern trend.
D. Because they are looking for a solution to the errors.
54、What does the text advise people to do about social media
A. Make the best use of it.
B. Completely stay away from it.
C. Prohibit young people from using it.
D. Spend reasonable amounts of time on it.
55、Which of the following is a suitable title for the text
A. What makes us so addicted to social media
B. Why is social media so popular among teenagers
C. Should we depend on social media for information
D. Is it right to blame social media for all the problems
Roy Austin first experienced an African adventure in 2018. All he wanted to do was get close to some African wildlife. Although Roy did realize this dream, he found something even more meaningful in Africa.
Roy spent time in many countries throughout East Africa. He was most interested in the people of rural Kenya, especially people of the Amboseli Primary and Secondary School.
During his stay, Roy became friends with several students and teachers at the school. He was deeply touched by their positive attitude, even though it was hard for them to get books and other school supplies. Even finding basic stationary was a challenge, not to mention the lack of school buildings.
In rural Kenya, school buildings are not built by the government. Students, their parents, and teachers find materials and build the schools themselves, or they have to raise money to get builders’ help. Without schools, buildings like libraries and classrooms are just dreams. The students and teachers of the schools very much wanted a library or at least some books to read.
After returning home to South Carolina in the United States, the Kenyan students’ yearning for something as seemingly “basic” as books to read still worried Roy. He decided to do whatever he could to help these children. So he started the organization Libraries for Kids International.
Since it was started, Roy has shipped over 11,000 books to 11 schools in African countries, including Kenya and Tanzania. To keep costs down, he uses the post office to send the books instead of a carrier like FedEx. The organization has helped to supply these schools with much-needed books, which brought Roy much happiness. He plans to continue shipping books to Africa.
56、What was the main purpose of Roy’s 2018 trip to Africa (no more than 5 words.)
57、Who built school buildings in rural Kenya (no more than 15 words)
58、What can the underlined word “yearning” in paragraph 5 be replaced by (no more than 5 words)

3、答案：C

解析：细节理解题。根据第一段第一句Since the early to mid-2010s，social media apps have made a permanent home in many people's phones，and spending time on social media has become as much of a daily activity as drinking water.（自20 l0年代初至中期以来，社交媒体应用程序已经在许多人的手机中占据了永久的位置，花时间在社交媒体上已经和喝水一样成为日常活动。）可知，自20 l0年代初至中期以来，人们下载社交媒体应用程序，并花很长时间在上面。故选C。
51、答案：C
解析：推理判断题。根据第二段中This type of thing happens with every generation when something new that people don't understand comes along：So many people thought rock-and-roll was making teens morally bad，which really wasn't the case.It is fair to say that the teenage years are hard，and that teens need an escape.Back before phones，teens would listen to rock music as a form of escapism，or they would watch TV，go to the movies，skate around，or dress up in crazy clothes.Unfortunately，all of those things at one point in time were blamed for being a bad influence on young people.Social media is the new rock-and-roll：it's a new thing，and people demonize（妖魔化）change.（这种情况发生在每一代人身上，当人们不理解的新事物出现时：很多人认为摇滚乐让青少年道德败坏，但事实并非如此。可以公平地说，青少年时代很艰难，青少年需要逃避。在手机之前，青少年会听摇滚音乐作为逃避现实的一种形式，或者他们会看电视、看电影、滑冰，或者穿上疯狂的衣服。不幸的是，所有这些都曾一度被指责对年轻人产生了不良影响。社交媒体是一种新的摇滚乐：这是一种全新的东西，人们将变化妖魔化了。）可知，当人们不理解的新事物出现时，会被指责对年轻人产生了不良影响。社交媒体跟摇滚乐一样，最初也被妖魔化，由此判断，作者在第2段中提到"摇滚乐"是解释为什么社交媒体被认为是负面的。故选C。
52、答案：A
解析：推理判断题。根据第三段中However，models，magazines and movies have been using retouching（修整）tools for photos and media since Photoshop and other post-production services were invented.Social media has made it easier to see more edited pictures，but social media itself isn't making people want to look a certain way.People should acknowledge that these pictures aren't authentic，and the posts are made to look good on purpose.（自从Photoshop和其他后期制作服务发明以来，模特、杂志和电影一直在使用照片和媒体的润饰工具。社交媒体让人们更容易看到更多经过编辑的图片，但社交媒体本身并没有让人们想以某种方式观看。人们应该承认，这些图片不是真实的，这些帖子是故意做得好看的）可知，作者认为社交媒体应用程序上发布经过编辑的照片是可以理解的。故选A。
53、答案：B
解析：细节理解题。根据最后一段Keeping up with the flood of posts，stories，and photos takes a lot of time--many young people admit that they spend hours on their phones every day.（跟上大量的帖子、故事和照片要花很多时间--许多年轻人承认他们每天都要花好几个小时在手机上）可知，有些人花很多时间在手机上是因为他们想知道发生了什么。故选B。
54、答案：D
解析：细节理解题。根据最后一段中Therefore，it is clear that moderation（适度）is the key to dealing with all the issues around social media.（因此，很明显，适度是处理社交媒体周围所有问题的关键。）可知，文章建议人们在社交媒体上合理花费时间。故选D。
55、答案：D
解析：标题概括题。阅读全文，并根据第二段第一句Many argue that social media is an unhealthy way to pass the time，and that false information from online is causing confusion and panic.（许多人认为社交媒体是一种不健康的消磨时间的方式，网上的虚假信息会引起困惑和恐慌）以及最后一段第一句It seems like most issues around social media are user errors，like anyone complaining there are too many people being addicted to social media.（似乎围绕社交媒体的大多数问题都是用户错误，比如有人抱怨有太多人沉迷于社交媒体）和最后一句Therefore，it is clear that moderation（适度）is the key to dealing with all the issues around social media.（因此，很明显，适度是处理社交媒体周围所有问题的关键）可知，文章主要阐述了社交媒体带来的影响，并分析了造成这种现象的原因，作者认为解决社交媒体带来的问题关键是使用者要学会适度。由此可知，选项D"把所有问题都归咎于社交媒体对吗"符合文章主旨，可作为最佳标题。故选D。
56、答案： To see local wildlife.Or: To get close to local wildlife.
解析：目的意图题。根据第一段中All he wanted to do was get close to some African wildlife.（他想做的就是接近一些非洲野生动物。）可知，Roy去非洲的最初目的是看野生动植物。故答案为To see local wildlife.Or: To get close to local wildlife.
57、答案： Students, their parents, and teachers themselves, or they raise money to get builders’ help.
解析：细节理解题。根据倒数第三段中In rural Kenya，school buildings are not built by the government.Students，their parents，and teachers find materials and build the schools themselves，or they have to raise money to get builders' help. （在肯尼亚农村，学校建筑不是由政府建造的。学生、他们的父母和老师自己寻找材料建造学校，或者他们必须筹集资金获得建筑商的帮助。）可知，肯尼亚的学校由政府、学生以及他们的父母、老师以及通过筹集资金获得建筑商的帮助来建造的。故答案为Students，their parents，and teachers themselves，or they raise money to get builders' help。
58、答案： Strong needs.
解析：词义猜测题。根据倒数第三段After returning home to South Carolina in the United States，the Kenyan students' yearning for something as seemingly "basic" as books to read still worried Roy.He decided to do whatever he could to help these children.So he started the organization Libraries for Kids International.（在回到美国南卡罗来纳的家中后，肯尼亚学生们对书籍这种看似"基本"的东西的______仍然让罗伊感到担忧。他决定尽他所能去帮助这些孩子。所以他成立了国际儿童图书馆组织。）可知，肯尼亚的学生们对于像要读的书这样看似"基本"的事情是非常渴望的，因此可以猜测肯尼亚的学生对于读书有着强烈的需求。故划线词yearning与strong needs为同义词，意为"强烈的需求"。故答案为Strong needs。
59、答案： Roy Austin brought the pleasure of reading to Africa.
解析：主旨大意题。通读全文。文章讲述了Roy Austin去非洲旅行时发现了肯尼亚乡村的孩子们缺少基本的学习用品，于是他成立了Libraries for Kids International去帮助这些孩子，送去图书。故答案为Roy Austin brought the pleasure of reading to Africa。
60、答案： He is caring and helpful. He understood that the local people in rural Kenya lived a hard life and managed to help them out.
解析：开放问答题。根据第三段中He was deeply touched by their positive attitude，even though it was hard for them to get books and other school supplies.（尽管他们很难买到书和其他学习用品，但他们积极的态度深深打动了他.）以及根据倒数第二段He decided to do whatever he could to help these children.So he started the organization Libraries for Kids International.（他决定尽他所能去帮助这些孩子。所以他成立了国际儿童图书馆组织.）以及最后一段中Since it was started，Roy has shipped over 11，000 books to 11 schools in African countries，including Kenya and Tanzania.（自创办以来，罗伊已经向包括肯尼亚和坦桑尼亚在内的11所非洲国家的学校运送了1.1万多本书.）可知，Roy了解肯尼亚农村的当地人生活艰难，并设法帮助他们摆脱困境，所以他是非常善良的和愿意帮助人的。故答案为He is caring and helpful.He understood that the local people in rural Kenya lived a hard life and managed to help them out。
