Gretchen Altman is smiling, leaning back casually, a cup of coffee in hand — Hills Bros. Coffee, to be precise. It looks like a casual shot, but if you hit like, leave a comment, and tag a friend, you can get three different cups of coffee, for free.
Altman is part of a growing trend of "micro-influencers". She has a small following — around 6,000 on Instagram(社交平台). Her going rate is $300 to $800 to promote something. She does some posts in exchange for free goods, as long as it’s stuff she believes in.
As a micro-influencer she has a much closer relationship with her followers than a big social media star. "I’m just living a normal life and people relate to that," she says. "They just feel like I’m a friend of theirs."
But it worries consumer rights groups. Several recent studies have found that young audiences are largely unable to understand when something is sponsored content.
In some cases, it’s clear. When a big star takes to a social media to advertise Coca-Cola, for example, the assumption is that he or she’s probably getting paid to do so. And the posts are clearly labeled as ads, with the caption "advertisement" or "sponsored content".
But what happens when an everyday person with just a couple thousand followers takes to social media to extol(颂扬) the virtues of a product The motivations are not so clear cut. The problem with these social media posts is that you don’t know whether it’s an ad or not.
Altman is diligent about using those hashtags(标签). She loves what she does and sees it as a business, but she doesn’t necessarily want to be a social media celebrity.
"With social media being so integrated into our everyday lives, we have this unique opportunity that I don’t think anyone has ever had before where we can each be our own brand," Altman says.
24. What does a micro-influencer do according to the passage
A. Give enough likes. B. Post to promote sales.
C. Recommend some comments. D. Design advertisements.
25. What makes consumer rights groups feel worried
A. Sponsored ads content.
B. Ads with caption on posts.
C. The unclear motivations of the posts.
D. The increasingly growing number of audiences.
26. How does Gretchen Altman feel about being a micro-influencer
A. Annoyed. B. Delighted. C. Ambitious. D. Depressed.
27. Which of the following can be the best title
A. Instagram Advertising: Do You Know It, When You See It
B. To be a Micro-influencer or to be a Big Star
C. We Can Each Be Our Own Top Brand
D. Hills Bros. Coffee, Your Coffee
【答案】24. B 25. C 26. B 27. A
【解析】

According to the statistics shared by UNESCO, at least 43% of the total languages that are estimated as being spoken across the world are in danger of extinction. Moreover, many languages around the world have less than 1,000 speakers now. Linguists (语言学家) and researchers believe that by the end of the century, at least half of the world' s languages will have died. This is troublesome, given that cultural identity and languages go hand in hand.
Language activists and people who speak these endangered languages are fighting back tooth and nail. Scientists believe that digitalization might be our only hope to preserve some of these quickly disappearing languages in the online world.
For instance, Oxford University Press launched Oxford Global Languages a few years ago. It is an initiative that boosts “digitally underrepresented” languages. They are focused on promoting languages that might have close to a million speakers worldwide, yet have little or no online presence. Therefore, they have been creating digital dictionaries as a fundamental building block to help preserve them.
There have been countless other projects like this with the same aim. Another is the Rosetta Project, which aims to create a handheld digital library that will carry more than 1,500 languages. It will be appropriately sized to fit nicely into our hands, and will come with around 13,000 pages of information. It will also have a high life expectancy of anywhere between 2,000 and 10,000 years. Initiatives like these have their primary objective to ensure the preservation of local languages long after their speakers have died.
Countless languages are dying every day, and they will continue to perish as the remaining speakers die. Of course, we cannot merely rely on digitization to deal with worldwide languages loss. However, it is a step in the right direction. These digital tools offer endangered languages an opportunity to bounce back and survive .
28. What does the data in paragraph 1 mainly show
A. Many languages are endangered.
B. Culture determines language evolution.
C. Human development results in fewer languages.
D. Many linguists attempt to protect threatened languages.
29. What does Oxford Global Languages try to do
A. Promote online courses of local languages.
B. Publish paper dictionaries of global languages.
C. Increase dying language speakers to a million.
D. Make certain languages available in digital form.
30. What can we learn about the digital library to be created by the Rosetta Project
A. It is portable but has a short life.
B. It is sponsored by Oxford University Press.
C. It provides protection for linguistic diversity.
D. It contains automatically updated information.
31. Which of the following can replace the underlined word “perish” in the last paragraph
A. Be enriched. B. Be lost.
C. Be acquired. D. Be invented.
【答案】28. A 29. D 30. C 31. B
【解析】
【分析】本文是说明文,主要讲的是世界上的很多语言面临消失的危险,而技术和数码工具可能是保护这些濒危语言的最佳方式之一。
【28题详解】
推理判断题。第一段中的“at least 43% of the total languages…are in danger of extinction. Many languages around the world have less than 1,000 speakers now(至少43%的语言正处于灭绝的危险之中。现在世界上许多语言的使用者不到1000人)”以及 “by the end of the century, at least half of the world’s languages will have died(到本世纪末,世界上至少有一半的语言将会消亡)”提到的数据分别表明,全世界至少有43%的语言正面临灭绝的危险,现在世界上许多语言的使用者不到 1,000 人,而且到本世纪末,世界上至少一半的语言将消亡。由此推知,这些数据是为了说明许多语言都濒临灭绝。故选A。
【29题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段中的“Oxford Global Languages… is an initiative that boosts “ digitally underrepresented” languages. They are focused on…yet have little or no online presence…they have been creating digital dictionaries(牛津全球语言是一项促进“数字弱势”语言的倡议。他们专注于……但很少或没有在网上出现……他们一直在创建数字词典 )”可知,Oxford Global Languages是一项促进“数字代表性不足”语言的倡议,通过创建数字词典来推广那些在全世界有近100 万人说、但几乎没有或根本没有线上形式的语言。也就是说,这一项目致力于使某些语言能够以数字形式保留下来。故选D。
【30题详解】
推理判断题。根据倒数第二段中的“Rosetta Project… aims to create a handheld digital library that will carry more than 1,500 languages(罗塞塔项目的目标是创建一个携带1500多种语言的手持数字图书馆)” 以及“Initiatives like these have as their primary objective to ensure the preservation of local languages long after their speakers have died(这类举措的主要目标是确保当地语言在使用者去世后仍能长期保存 )”可知,Rosetta Project旨在创建一个可手持的数字图书馆,内含1,500 多种语言。类似这样的项目的首要目标是确保某些地方语言在使用者去世后仍能保留下来。也就是说,Rosetta Project创建数字图书馆是为了保护地方语言,即保护语言的多样性。故选C。
【31题详解】
词句猜测题。根据划线单词前面的“Countless languages are dying every day(每天都有无数的语言在消亡)”和continue以及后面的the remaining speakers die可知,每天都有无数种语言在消亡,它们将随着剩下的使用者的死亡而继续“消亡”。 根据语境可知perish与die是同义词,意为 “消亡,消失”,故选Be lost。故选B。
D
It’s thought that the first ever Chinese restaurant opened in 1908 in the UK. It was located in Piccadilly Circus, London. Although this was a great breakthrough for the cuisine (菜肴), it didn’t pick up popularity for years.
Back in the 1950’s the idea of Chinese food in the UK and America was simplistic; tinned Chinese curries (咖喱菜肴), processed foods and confused flavours (味道), like Chinese food on pizza. Takeout restaurants were few and far between and other cuisines with less experimental flavours were favoured by Westerners.
It wasn’t until the 1960’s and 1970’s that Chinese food began getting the recognition. More citizens began arriving on Western soil from China and Chinatown started development in the1970’s, when chefs began talking about exotic (异国) flavours. One typical figure during this period was Kenneth Lo. He wrote more than 30 books on Chinese cooking from the1950’s to the1990’s, with over one million copies sold in Britain.
Lo also opened a cooking school in London during the 1980’s, which was praised as Europe’s first Chinese cooking school. Alongside this, people began opening up to the idea of varied flavours but dishes had to make the most of the ingredients (配料) available in the West. Chinese chefs began to adapt dishes to use readily available ingredients and also appeal more to Westerners. This ended with the creation of dishes that a Western audience recognizes as Chinese that you wouldn’t even find in China. For example, Chop Suey used to be one of the most popular dishes found in the West but you wouldn’t be able to find this dish with ease in China. The same goes for the beloved fortune cookies.
Nowadays, more frequent travel of British people to China has exposed consumers to more varieties and both authentic (正宗的) and modern Chinese flavours. No longer do those living in the West fear complex and unfamiliar flavours; instead they accept the contrast and try to include them into their diet.
32. What happened to Chinese food after the first Chinese restaurant opened in London
A. It went through great changes.
B. It went unnoticed for a long time.
C. It was mainly sold as takeout food.
D. It started to have a big influence.
33. What did Kenneth Lo do to promote Chinese food
A. He wrote many books about Chinese cooking.
B. He worked in a Chinese restaurant in Chinatown.
C. He commented on popular books on Chinese food.
D. He travelled across China to learn Chinese cooking.
34. Why are Chop Suey and fortune cookies mentioned in paragraph 4
A. To prove many ingredients were needed to make them.
B. To show they were the most popular Chinese dishes in London.
C. To show Chinese dishes were adapted to satisfy Westerners’ taste.
D. To prove the ingredients used in Western cuisine were simple.
35. What is the Westerners’ attitude towards Chinese food nowadays
A. Concerned. B. Regretful. C. Unclear. D. Acceptive.
【答案】32. B 33. A 34. C 35. D
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了中国美食是如何走出国门,走进英国的。
【32题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段中的“Although this was a great breakthrough for the cuisine (菜肴), it didn’t pick up popularity for years. (虽然这是中国菜的一大突破,但多年来并没有流行起来。)”以及第二段中的“Back in the 1950’s the idea of Chinese food in the UK and America was simplistic; (在20世纪50年代,中餐在英国和美国的概念是简单的;)”和“Takeout restaurants were few and far between and other cuisines with less experimental flavours were favoured by Westerners. (外卖餐馆很少,而且相隔甚远,而其他口味不那么新鲜的菜肴则受到西方人的青睐。)”可知,自从第一家中餐馆在英国成立以来,中餐在很长一段时间内, 都没有受到关注。故选B。
【33题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段中的“He wrote more than 30 books on Chinese cooking from the1950’s to the1990’s, with over one million copies sold in Britain. (从20世纪50年代到90年代,他写了30多本关于中国烹饪的书,在英国销量超过100万本。)”可知,为了在英国推广中国美食, Kenneth Lo写了三十多本有关中国烹饪的书。故选A。
【34题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段中的“Chinese chefs began to adapt dishes to use readily available ingredients and also appeal more to Westerners. This ended with the creation of dishes that a Western audience recognizes as Chinese that you wouldn’t even find in China. (中国厨师开始调整菜肴,使用现成的食材,也更吸引西方人。这一切都以西方观众认为是中国菜而告终,而这些菜在中国是找不到的。)”可知,为了满足西方人的口味,中国厨师就地取材, 创造了改良版的中餐,如炒杂碎和福饼。故选C。
【35题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“No longer do those living in the West fear complex and unfamiliar flavours; instead they accept the contrast and try to include them into their diet. (生活在西方的人不再害怕复杂而陌生的味道;相反,他们接受了这种对比,并试图将它们纳入自己的饮食中。)”可推知,如今的西方人对中餐持乐于接受的态度。故选D。

Home workout
As long as there is a space at home, we can move. It will take time if we go outside as time is precious, especially in this fast- paced age. So many people like to exercise at home. However, without trainers, getting good exercises at home can be difficult. ______36______
Avoid over-training. Nowadays, a lot of people prefer to do some popular programs they see on social media. But a lot of these programs are high-in-tensity (高强度的) and designed to make you feel tired. ______37______ Training beyond your power can result in injury. “You might develop tendonitis (肌腱炎) in the knees; you might hurt an ankle,” said Clifton Hempstead, a well-known personal trainer.
______38______ A lot of home workout programs that don’t need equipment include exercises such as planks (平板支撑),squats (深蹲) and sit-ups. ______39______ “When doing squats, your knees and toes should be pointed in the same direction so that, long term, your knees don’t suffer. If you can’t do an exercise, find a way to reduces its tensity so that you have less pain,” he said.
Do yoga in a suitable way. ______40______ But if you’d rather learn yoga through videos, it’s important to take it slow. Many video classes don’t offer any changes of poses that might make them work for different bodies. “If something doesn’t feel right, and you’re taking a video class, please quit,” he said. “Don’t go as far.”
A It can be tricky to do yoga at home.
B. Yoga is the most effective in the presence of an instructor.

【答案】Dear Jim,
I hope this email finds you well. I appreciate your suggestion to use AI for our project-based learning paper. However, I decline the idea.
In my opinion, relying on AI would rob us of the opportunity to develop our critical thinking and analytical skills. Furthermore, it is important that we demonstrate our own understanding and originality in the paper.
Instead, I suggest that we each take responsibility for different sections of the paper and collaborate closely to ensure the final paper is comprehensive. We could also seek feedback from our teachers and peers to refine our work.
I am looking forward to working with you to create an excellent paper.
Yours,
Lihua

One pleasant New-year morning, Edward rose, and washed and dressed himself in a hurry. He wanted to be first to wish a happy New Year to his family. He turned up at every door of the house, and shouted the words of “Happy New Year” in an excited voice. After a quick breakfast, he hopped along the street like a happy bird, greeted and repeated the words to those he met.
When he came back, his father gave him 50 dollars, saying he could buy whatever he had been wishing for. His face lighted up as he took them. He had wished for a long time to buy some interesting books that he had seen at the bookstore. He thanked his father and danced out of the house again with a light heart, wanting to buy those books.
As he ran down the street, he noticed a poor German family, the father, mother, and three children trembling with cold. “I wish you a happy New Year,” said Edward, as he was happily passing on. The man took a look at the happy boy and shook his head sadly.
Edward stopped and said, “It seems that you do not belong to this country” The man again shook his head, a confused expression appeared over his face, for he could not understand or speak English.
But the poor man pointed to his mouth, and to the children with hungry looks, as if to say, “These little ones have had nothing to eat for a long time.”
Edward quickly understood that these poor people were in difficult situation.

【答案】Paragraph 1:
He took out his dollars, and gave them all to the man. How their eyes sparkled with gratitude! They said something in their language, which might mean, “You are doing me a great favor, and I am very grateful to you.” The man was so moved that he stood there, failing to say any words. At the same time, Edward saw a bright smile spread across the man’s face. He smiled back at the father, waved goodbye to the family and went home delightedly.
Paragraph 2:
When Edward went home, his father asked what book he had bought. He hung his head a moment, but quickly looked up. Then he told the story to his father. “I have bought no books,” said he, “I can wait for my books till next New Year.” “My dear boy,” said his father, “here are a dozen of books. I give them to you, more as a reward for your goodness of heart than as a New Year gift.” It was on that very moment that Edward realized a small act of kindness may be powerful enough to make a huge difference.

Gretchen Altman is smiling, leaning back casually, a cup of coffee in hand — Hills Bros. Coffee, to be precise. It looks like a casual shot, but if you hit like, leave a comment, and tag a friend, you can get three different cups of coffee, for free.
Altman is part of a growing trend of "micro-influencers". She has a small following — around 6,000 on Instagram(社交平台). Her going rate is $300 to $800 to promote something. She does some posts in exchange for free goods, as long as it’s stuff she believes in.
As a micro-influencer she has a much closer relationship with her followers than a big social media star. "I’m just living a normal life and people relate to that," she says. "They just feel like I’m a friend of theirs."
But it worries consumer rights groups. Several recent studies have found that young audiences are largely unable to understand when something is sponsored content.
In some cases, it’s clear. When a big star takes to a social media to advertise Coca-Cola, for example, the assumption is that he or she’s probably getting paid to do so. And the posts are clearly labeled as ads, with the caption "advertisement" or "sponsored content".
But what happens when an everyday person with just a couple thousand followers takes to social media to extol(颂扬) the virtues of a product The motivations are not so clear cut. The problem with these social media posts is that you don’t know whether it’s an ad or not.
Altman is diligent about using those hashtags(标签). She loves what she does and sees it as a business, but she doesn’t necessarily want to be a social media celebrity.
"With social media being so integrated into our everyday lives, we have this unique opportunity that I don’t think anyone has ever had before where we can each be our own brand," Altman says.
24. What does a micro-influencer do according to the passage
A. Give enough likes. B. Post to promote sales.
C. Recommend some comments. D. Design advertisements.
25. What makes consumer rights groups feel worried
A Sponsored ads content.
B. Ads with caption on posts.
C. The unclear motivations of the posts.
D. The increasingly growing number of audiences.
26. How does Gretchen Altman feel about being a micro-influencer
A. Annoyed. B. Delighted. C. Ambitious. D. Depressed.
27. Which of the following can be the best title
A. Instagram Advertising: Do You Know It, When You See It
B. To be a Micro-influencer or to be a Big Star
C. We Can Each Be Our Own Top Brand
D. Hills Bros. Coffee, Your Coffee
C
According to the statistics shared by UNESCO, at least 43% of the total languages that are estimated as being spoken across the world are in danger of extinction. Moreover, many languages around the world have less than 1,000 speakers now. Linguists (语言学家) and researchers believe that by the end of the century, at least half of the world' s languages will have died. This is troublesome, given that cultural identity and languages go hand in hand.
Language activists and people who speak these endangered languages are fighting back tooth and nail. Scientists believe that digitalization might be our only hope to preserve some of these quickly disappearing languages in the online world.
For instance, Oxford University Press launched Oxford Global Languages a few years ago. It is an initiative that boosts “digitally underrepresented” languages. They are focused on promoting languages that might have close to a million speakers worldwide, yet have little or no online presence. Therefore, they have been creating digital dictionaries as a fundamental building block to help preserve them.
There have been countless other projects like this with the same aim. Another is the Rosetta Project, which aims to create a handheld digital library that will carry more than 1,500 languages. It will be appropriately sized to fit nicely into our hands, and will come with around 13,000 pages of information. It will also have a high life expectancy of anywhere between 2,000 and 10,000 years. Initiatives like these have their primary objective to ensure the preservation of local languages long after their speakers have died.
Countless languages are dying every day, and they will continue to perish as the remaining speakers die. Of course, we cannot merely rely on digitization to deal with worldwide languages loss. However, it is a step in the right direction. These digital tools offer endangered languages an opportunity to bounce back and survive .
28. What does the data in paragraph 1 mainly show
A. Many languages are endangered.
B. Culture determines language evolution.
C. Human development results in fewer languages.
D. Many linguists attempt to protect threatened languages.
29. What does Oxford Global Languages try to do
A. Promote online courses of local languages.
B. Publish paper dictionaries of global languages.
C. Increase dying language speakers to a million.
D. Make certain languages available in digital form.
30. What can we learn about the digital library to be created by the Rosetta Project
A It is portable but has a short life.
B. It is sponsored by Oxford University Press.
C. It provides protection for linguistic diversity.
D It contains automatically updated information.
31. Which of the following can replace the underlined word “perish” in the last paragraph
A. Be enriched. B. Be lost.
C. Be acquired. D. Be invented.
D
It’s thought that the first ever Chinese restaurant opened in 1908 in the UK. It was located in Piccadilly Circus, London. Although this was a great breakthrough for the cuisine (菜肴), it didn’t pick up popularity for years.
Back in the 1950’s the idea of Chinese food in the UK and America was simplistic; tinned Chinese curries (咖喱菜肴), processed foods and confused flavours (味道), like Chinese food on pizza. Takeout restaurants were few and far between and other cuisines with less experimental flavours were favoured by Westerners.
It wasn’t until the 1960’s and 1970’s that Chinese food began getting the recognition. More citizens began arriving on Western soil from China and Chinatown started development in the1970’s, when chefs began talking about exotic (异国的) flavours. One typical figure during this period was Kenneth Lo. He wrote more than 30 books on Chinese cooking from the1950’s to the1990’s, with over one million copies sold in Britain.
Lo also opened a cooking school in London during the 1980’s, which was praised as Europe’s first Chinese cooking school. Alongside this, people began opening up to the idea of varied flavours but dishes had to make the most of the ingredients (配料) available in the West. Chinese chefs began to adapt dishes to use readily available ingredients and also appeal more to Westerners. This ended with the creation of dishes that a Western audience recognizes as Chinese that you wouldn’t even find in China. For example, Chop Suey used to be one of the most popular dishes found in the West but you wouldn’t be able to find this dish with ease in China. The same goes for the beloved fortune cookies.
Nowadays, more frequent travel of British people to China has exposed consumers to more varieties and both authentic (正宗的) and modern Chinese flavours. No longer do those living in the West fear complex and unfamiliar flavours; instead they accept the contrast and try to include them into their diet.
32. What happened to Chinese food after the first Chinese restaurant opened in London
A. It went through great changes.
B. It went unnoticed for a long time.
C. It was mainly sold as takeout food.
D. It started to have a big influence.
33. What did Kenneth Lo do to promote Chinese food
A. He wrote many books about Chinese cooking.
B. He worked in a Chinese restaurant in Chinatown.
C. He commented on popular books on Chinese food.
D. He travelled across China to learn Chinese cooking.
34. Why are Chop Suey and fortune cookies mentioned in paragraph 4
A. To prove many ingredients were needed to make them.
B To show they were the most popular Chinese dishes in London.
C. To show Chinese dishes were adapted to satisfy Westerners’ taste.
D. To prove the ingredients used in Western cuisine were simple.
35. What is the Westerners’ attitude towards Chinese food nowadays
A. Concerned. B. Regretful. C. Unclear. D. Acceptive.

Home workout
As long as there is a space at home, we can move. It will take time if we go outside as time is precious, especially in this fast- paced age. So many people like to exercise at home. However, without trainers, getting good exercises at home can be difficult. ______36______
Avoid over-training. Nowadays, a lot of people prefer to do some popular programs they see on social media. But a lot of these programs are high-in-tensity (高强度的) and designed to make you feel tired. ______37______ Training beyond your power can result in injury. “You might develop tendonitis (肌腱炎) in the knees; you might hurt an ankle,” said Clifton Hempstead, a well-known personal trainer.
______38______ A lot of home workout programs that don’t need equipment include exercises such as planks (平板支撑),squats (深蹲) and sit-ups. ______39______ “When doing squats, your knees and toes should be pointed in the same direction so that, long term, your knees don’t suffer. If you can’t do an exercise, find a way to reduces its tensity so that you have less pain,” he said.
Do yoga in a suitable way. ______40______ But if you’d rather learn yoga through videos, it’s important to take it slow. Many video classes don’t offer any changes of poses that might make them work for different bodies. “If something doesn’t feel right, and you’re taking a video class, please quit,” he said. “Don’t go as far.”
A. It can be tricky to do yoga at home.
B. Yoga is the most effective in the presence of an instructor.
C. Here is something you should pay attention to when you choose to exercise at home.
D. Instead, you should try a program that is working toward a goal, with exercises you’re able to do.

F. But having bad form can lead to injury.
G. People find it easy to do these programs.

He turned up at every door of the house, and shouted the words of “Happy New Year” in an excited voice. After a quick breakfast, he hopped along the street like a happy bird, greeted and repeated the words to those he met.
When he came back, his father gave him 50 dollars, saying he could buy whatever he had been wishing for. His face lighted up as he took them. He had wished for a long time to buy some interesting books that he had seen at the bookstore. He thanked his father and danced out of the house again with a light heart, wanting to buy those books.
As he ran down the street, he noticed a poor German family, the father, mother, and three children trembling with cold. “I wish you a happy New Year,” said Edward, as he was happily passing on. The man took a look at the happy boy and shook his head sadly.
Edward stopped and said, “It seems that you do not belong to this country” The man again shook his head, a confused expression appeared over his face, for he could not understand or speak English.
But the poor man pointed to his mouth, and to the children with hungry looks, as if to say, “These little ones have had nothing to eat for a long time.”
Edward quickly understood that these poor people were in difficult situation.
