Most people have never heard of Tim Berners-Lee. He is not nearly as rich or famous as Mare Andreessen, who is the founder of Netscape, or Bill Gates, whose name has become a well-known word.
Berners-Lee, who works in a small office at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, is the creator of the World Wide Web. The creation of the Web is so important that some people compare Berners-Lee to Johann Gutenberg, who invented printing by movable type (活字) in the fifteenth century.
Berners-Lee was born in England in 1955. His parents, who helped design the world’s first commercially (商业地) available computer, gave him a great love of mathematics and learning.
In 1980 Berners-Lee went to work at CERN, a physics laboratory in Geneva, Switzerland, where he had a lot of material to learn quickly. He had a poor memory for facts and wanted to find a way to help him keep track of things he couldn’t remember. He invented a software program that allowed him to create a document that had links to other documents. He continued to develop his idea through the 1980s. He wanted to find a way to connect the knowledge and creativity of people all over the world.
In 1991, his project became known as the World Wide Web. The number of Internet users started to grow quickly. However, Berners-Lee is not completely happy with the way the We b has developed. He thinks it has become a passive tool for so many people, not the tool for creativity that he imagined.
In 1999, Berners-Lee published a book called Weaving the Web, in which he answers questions he is often asked: What were you thinking when you invented the Web What do you think of it now Where is the Web going to take us in the future
4. From Paragraph 1 we can see ________.
A. Tim Berners-Lee has never heard of Netscape. B. Mare Andreesen is as wealthy as Tim Berners-Lee.
C. We know little about Tim Berners-Lee. D. Bill Gates is as known as Tim Berners-Lee.
5. Why is Johann Gutenberg mentioned in Para. 2
A. To prove the popularity of printing. B. To stress the position of Berners-Lee.
C. To convey people’s appreciation for him. D. To introduce his invention of printing.
6. Which can be learned about Berners-Lee
A. He was proud of his achievement. B. He was good at memorizing facts quickly.
C. He was creative and knowledgeable. D. He was productive in writing books.
7. What can be a suitable title for the text
A. A Great Inventor-Berners-Lee. B. A Famous Book-Weaving the Web.
C. A Known Project-World Wide Web. D. A Physics Laboratory-CERN.
【答案】4. C 5. B 6. C 7. A
【解析】

【4题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段“Most people have never heard of Tim Berners-Lee. He is not nearly as rich or famous as Mare Andreessen, who is the founder of Netscape, or Bill Gates, whose name has become a well-known word.(大多数人从未听说过Tim Berners-Lee。他远不如网景的创始人马雷 安德森或比尔 盖茨富有，也不如盖茨出名)”可知，我们对Tim Berners-Lee知之甚少。故选C。
【5题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段“Berners-Lee, who works in a small office at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, is the creator of the World Wide Web. The creation of the Web is so important that some people compare Berners-Lee to Johann Gutenberg, who invented printing by movable type (活字) in the fifteenth century.(Tim Berners-Lee在麻省理工学院的一间小办公室里工作，他是万维网的发明者。网络的发明如此重要，以至于有人将Tim Berners-Lee与15世纪发明活字印刷术的约翰·古腾堡相提并论)”可知，第二段提到了约翰·古腾堡是为了强调伯Tim Berners-Lee的立场。故选B。
【6题详解】

For some people, music is no fun at all. About 4% of the population is what scientists call “amusic”. People who are amusic are born without the ability to enjoy musical notes. Amusic people often cannot tell the differences between two songs.
As a result, songs sound like noise to an amusic. Many amusics compare the sound of music to pieces of metal hitting each other. Life can be hard for amusics. In fact, most people cannot understand what it feels like to be amusic. Just going to a restaurant or a shopping center can be uncomfortable or even painful. That is why many amusics have to stay away from places where there is music. However, this can result in social loneliness. “I used to hate parties,” says Margaret, a seventy-year-old woman who only recently discovered that she was amusic. By studying people like Margaret, scientists are finally learning how to identify this unusual condition.
Scientists say that the brains of amusics are different from those of people who can enjoy music. The difference is complex, as it is not connected with poor hearing and has nothing to do with intelligence. Amusics can understand other non-musical sounds well. They also have no problems understanding common speech. Scientists compare amusics to people who just can’t see certain colors.
Many amusics are happy when their condition is finally diagnosed (诊断). For years, Margaret felt embarrassed about her music problem. Now she knows that she is not alone. That makes it easier for her to explain. “When people invite me to a concert, I just say ‘No, thanks. I’m amusic,’” says Margaret.
8. Amusics are the people who ________.
A. have a preference for music. B. have trouble in hearing.
C. have a talent for music D. are born unable to enjoy music.
9. Life is hard for amusics mainly because ________.
A. they fail to understand music. B. they find their normal life disturbed.
C. they try to stay at the place full of music. D. they regard music as noise.
10. What does the underlined word “complex” mean in paragraph 3
A. Difficult. B. Obvious. C. Basic D. Small.
11. What is the main idea of the passage
A. Some people’s musical ability. B. Some people’s inability to enjoy music.
C. Amusics’ strange behaviors. D. Diagnosis and treatment of amusics.
【答案】8. D 9. B 10. A 11. B
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了没有音乐欣赏能力的一类人，他们被称为“音盲”。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据首段中的“People who are amusic are born without the ability to enjoy musical notes.(有“音盲”的人天生就没有欣赏音符的能力。)”可知，有“音盲”的人天生没有欣赏音符的能力。故选A项。
【9题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段中的“In fact, most people cannot understand what it feels like to be amusic. Just going to a restaurant or a shopping center can be uncomfortable or even painful. That is why many amusics have to stay away from places where there is music. However, this can result in social loneliness.(事实上，大多数人无法理解成为一名音盲是什么感觉。只是去餐馆或购物中心可能会感到不舒服甚至痛苦。这就是为什么许多音盲必须远离有音乐的地方。此外，这可能会导致社交孤独。)”可知，有音盲的人是无法被人理解的，而且他们去参观或者购物中心都会不舒服甚至是痛苦，这还可能会导致社交孤独，由此可知，他们正常的生活可能受到影响，由此可知，有音盲的人生活艰难主要是因为他们的正常生活受到了干扰。故选B项。
【10题详解】
词义猜测题。根据划线单词前的“Scientists say that the brains of amusics are different from those of people who can enjoy music.(科学家们说，音盲的大脑与能欣赏音乐的人的大脑不同。)”可知，科学家发现，音盲的大脑与能欣赏音乐的人的大脑不同，结合划线单词后的“as it is not connected with poor hearing and has nothing to do with intelligence.(因为它与听力差无关，也与智力无关。)”可知，这种差异与听力差和智力均无关系，结合下文中的“Amusics can understand other non-musical sounds well. They also have no problems understanding common speech. (音盲可以很好地理解其他非音乐性的声音。他们在理解普通语言方面也没有问题。)”可知，音盲也能理解其他非音乐声音，而且理解普通语言也没有问题，综合以上信息可知，这种差异是难以理解的，所以划线单词的意思与“难理解的”意义相近。故选A项。
【11题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第一段中的“About 4% of the population is what scientists call “amusic”. People who are amusic are born without the ability to enjoy musical notes. Amusic people often cannot tell the differences between two songs.(大约4% 的人口是科学家所说的“音盲”。音盲的人生来就没有欣赏音符的能力。音盲常常分辨不出两首歌之间的区别。)”以及下文中介绍的音盲带来的影响、音盲的大脑与其他能欣赏音乐的人的大脑的差异分析和对音盲的诊断给音盲者带来的快乐可知，本文主要介绍了没有音乐欣赏能力的一类人，他们被称为“音盲”，文章就这类人的特点展开介绍。故选B项。
D
Earlier this month, TikTok announced that it will be introducing screen time limits for the accounts of users aged under 18. Children under 13 will require a parent or guardian to type in a password to continue scrolling (滚屏) through their feed, and those aged 13-17 will be asked to set their own password s when the viewing time goes beyond the limit.
Studies suggest that 30 minutes may be the best for social media use, where users are able to stay connected with friends and family and view entertainment. However, many other studies show that overly-heavy social media use can lead to a lot of problems, like physical and mental problems.
By suggesting 100 minutes as a hard line where a password is required to be created by the user, TikTok is gradually making the standards clear about what may be regarded as a problematic social media habit in young people. Although these passwords for older teenagers can obviously be bypassed, they are a step in the right direction in encouraging children to use social media responsibly.
In addition, parents who own their own TikTok accounts will be able to link with their children’s accounts, gaining additional controls, such as muting notifications (消息免打扰) and customizing time limits for different days in the week.
Algorithms (算法) that could tell parents if the child has been viewing dangerous material could soon be put into use. However, the difficulty in this is the amount of content available on the internet. Finally, apps such as TikTok and Instagram will need to continue introducing more measures to improve online safety for children.
Lawmakers around the world are paying close attention to the effect social media has on the young, meaning that the development of new tools to improve its use will no doubt take place soon if big tech wishes to avoid additional legal problems.
12. Why did TikTok introduce screen time limits for teenagers
A. To prevent their overuse of social media. B. To improve online safety.
C. To strengthen their relationship with parents. D. To develop their ability of self-control.
13. What’s the author’s attitude towards TikTok’s new policy
A. Indifferent. B. Critical. C. Supportive. D. Unclear.
14. What can parents do to help children use social media responsibly
A. Type in a password to stop the use. B. Get connected to the children’s account.
C. Set the same time limits in a week. D. Use algorithms to remove dangerous content.
15. What does the last paragraph mainly talk about social media
A. Its impacts on the young. B. Solutions to its technological problems.
C. Its application to lawmaking. D. Legal pressure on its improvement.
【答案】12. A 13. C 14. B 15. D
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。本月早些时候，抖音宣布将对18岁以下用户的账户设置屏幕使用时间限制。改善社交媒体使用的新工具的开发无疑将很快展开。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“Studies suggest that 30 minutes may be the best for social media use, where users are able to stay connected with friends and family and view entertainment. However, many other studies show that overly-heavy social media use can lead to a lot of problems, like physical and mental problems.(研究表明，30分钟可能是使用社交媒体的最佳时间，在这段时间里，用户可以与朋友和家人保持联系，并观看娱乐节目。然而，许多其他研究表明，过度使用社交媒体会导致很多问题，比如身体和精神问题)”可知，TikTok会对青少年设置屏幕时间限制是为了防止过度使用社交媒体。故选A。
【13题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段“Although these passwords for older teenagers can obviously be bypassed, they are a step in the right direction in encouraging children to use social media responsibly.(虽然年龄较大的青少年显然可以绕过这些密码，但这是鼓励孩子们负责任地使用社交媒体的正确方向)”可知，作者对TikTok的新政策持支持态度。故选C。
【14题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段“In addition, parents who own their own TikTok accounts will be able to link with their children’s accounts, gaining additional controls, such as muting notifications (消息免打扰) and customizing time limits for different days in the week.(此外，拥有自己的抖音帐户的父母将能够与孩子的帐户链接，获得额外的控制，例如静音通知和定制一周中不同日子的时间限制)”可知，父母可以通过自己的账户设定时间限制来帮助孩子负责任地使用社交媒体。故选B。
15题详解】
主旨大意题。根据最后一段“Lawmakers around the world are paying close attention to the effect social media has on the young, meaning that the development of new tools to improve its use will no doubt take place soon if big tech wishes to avoid additional legal problems.(世界各地的立法者都在密切关注社交媒体对年轻人的影响，这意味着，如果大型科技公司希望避免更多的法律问题，改善社交媒体使用的新工具的开发无疑将很快展开)”可知，关于社交媒体，最后一段主要讲了对其改进的法律压力。故选D。

【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了各种不同的节日的起源，变化以及意义。
【36题详解】
考查名词复数。句意：节日的起源很广泛。根据空前的“a wide range of ”可知，此处应用名词复数，origin意为“起源”，其复数形式是orgins。故填origins。
【37题详解】
考查动名词。句意：然而，无论他们看起来多么不同，分享快乐、感激、爱或和平的精神是共同的。空前为介词of，所以此处为动名词作宾语，且表示主动意义。故填sharing。
【38题详解】
考查谓语动词。句意：在所有的传统节日中，收获节几乎可以在每一种文化中找到，它发生在所有的庄稼都被收集起来之后。根据句意，此处可理解为动作已经发生，所以使用现在完成时，all the crops与gather之间为被动关系，所以此处使用现在完成时的被动语态，且主语为名词复数，所以填have been gathered；也可以根据上文中的takes place可知，此处应用一般现在时，all the crops与gather是被动关系，应用使用一般现在时的被动语态，主语是复数形式，所以填are gathered。故填have been gathered/are gathered。
【39题详解】
考查冠词。句意：人们通过庆祝来表达他们对一年的食物供应的感激。此处为固定搭配“play a part in”意为“在……中起作用”，所以此处使用不定冠词，因为important的第一个音素是元音，所以用an。故填an。
【40题详解】
考查代词。句意：尽管习俗在节日中扮演着重要的角色，但有时它们会随着时间的推移而改变。此处为句子的主语，无提示词，所以应为代词，结合句意可知，此处指代的是上文中的customs，所以此处使用人称代词they。故填they。
【41题详解】
考查名词。句意：例如，为了避免空气污染，一些大城市已经放弃了在春节期间放鞭炮的习俗。此处作动词avoid后的宾语，应用名词，动词pollute意为“污染”，其名词是pollution，且为不可数名词。故填pollution。
【42题详解】
考查形容词。句意：如今，节日正变得越来越商业化。此空位于系动词becoming后，应用形容词，名词commerce意为“商业”，其形容词是commercial意为“商业的”。故填commercial。
【43题详解】
考查连词。句意：一些人认为节日不应该被商业化，但另一些人认为消费的增加有利于经济和公众幸福。空前与空后均为完整的句子结构，所以此处应使用连词连接，结合句意可知，空前和空后的内容为表示对比意义或者转折关系，所以此处使用连词while或者是but。故填while/but。
【44题详解】
考查介词。句意：总之，节日反映了人们的愿望、信仰、信仰和对生活的态度。结合句意可知，此处表示“对……的态度”，所以使用介词to或者towards。故填to/towards。
【45题详解】
考查疑问词。句意：它们是让我们放松和享受生活的机会，并帮助我们了解我们从哪里来，我们是谁，以及我们应该欣赏什么。该句为“疑问词+to do”结构，不定式appreciate缺少宾语，所以此处使用疑问词what。故填what。

Most people have never heard of Tim Berners-Lee. He is not nearly as rich or famous as Mare Andreessen, who is the founder of Netscape, or Bill Gates, whose name has become a well-known word.
Berners-Lee, who works in a small office at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, is the creator of the World Wide Web. The creation of the Web is so important that some people compare Berners-Lee to Johann Gutenberg, who invented printing by movable type (活字) in the fifteenth century.
Berners-Lee was born in England in 1955. His parents, who helped design the world’s first commercially (商业地) available computer, gave him a great love of mathematics and learning.
In 1980, Berners-Lee went to work at CERN, a physics laboratory in Geneva, Switzerland, where he had a lot of material to learn quickly. He had a poor memory for facts and wanted to find a way to help him keep track of things he couldn’t remember. He invented a software program that allowed him to create a document that had links to other documents. He continued to develop his idea through the 1980s. He wanted to find a way to connect the knowledge and creativity of people all over the world.
In 1991, his project became known as the World Wide Web. The number of Internet users started to grow quickly. However, Berners-Lee is not completely happy with the way the We b has developed. He thinks it has become a passive tool for so many people, not the tool for creativity that he imagined.
In 1999, Berners-Lee published a book called Weaving the Web, in which he answers questions he is often asked: What were you thinking when you invented the Web What do you think of it now Where is the Web going to take us in the future
4 From Paragraph 1 we can see ________.
A. Tim Berners-Lee has never heard of Netscape. B. Mare Andreesen is as wealthy as Tim Berners-Lee.
C We know little about Tim Berners-Lee. D. Bill Gates is as known as Tim Berners-Lee.
5. Why is Johann Gutenberg mentioned in Para. 2
A. To prove the popularity of printing. B. To stress the position of Berners-Lee.
C. To convey people’s appreciation for him. D. To introduce his invention of printing.
6. Which can be learned about Berners-Lee
A. He was proud of his achievement. B. He was good at memorizing facts quickly.
C. He was creative and knowledgeable. D. He was productive in writing books.
7. What can be a suitable title for the text
A. A Great Inventor-Berners-Lee. B. A Famous Book-Weaving the Web.
C. A Known Project-World Wide Web. D. A Physics Laboratory-CERN.
C
For some people, music is no fun at all. About 4% of the population is what scientists call “amusic”. People who are amusic are born without the ability to enjoy musical notes. Amusic people often cannot tell the differences between two songs.
As a result, songs sound like noise to an amusic. Many amusics compare the sound of music to pieces of metal hitting each other. Life can be hard for amusics. In fact, most people cannot understand what it feels like to be amusic. Just going to a restaurant or a shopping center can be uncomfortable or even painful. That is why many amusics have to stay away from places where there is music. However, this can result in social loneliness. “I used to hate parties,” says Margaret, a seventy-year-old woman who only recently discovered that she was amusic. By studying people like Margaret, scientists are finally learning how to identify this unusual condition.
Scientists say that the brains of amusics are different from those of people who can enjoy music. The difference is complex, as it is not connected with poor hearing and has nothing to do with intelligence. Amusics can understand other non-musical sounds well. They also have no problems understanding common speech. Scientists compare amusics to people who just can’t see certain colors.
Many amusics are happy when their condition is finally diagnosed (诊断). For years, Margaret felt embarrassed about her music problem. Now she knows that she is not alone. That makes it easier for her to explain. “When people invite me to a concert, I just say ‘No, thanks. I’m amusic,’” says Margaret.
8. Amusics are the people who ________.
A. have a preference for music. B. have trouble in hearing.
C. have a talent for music D. are born unable to enjoy music.
9. Life is hard for amusics mainly because ________.
A. they fail to understand music. B. they find their normal life disturbed.
C. they try to stay at the place full of music. D. they regard music as noise.
10. What does the underlined word “complex” mean in paragraph 3
A. Difficult. B. Obvious. C. Basic D. Small.
11. What is the main idea of the passage
A. Some people’s musical ability. B. Some people’s inability to enjoy music.
C. Amusics’ strange behaviors. D. Diagnosis and treatment of amusics.
D
Earlier this month, TikTok announced that it will be introducing screen time limits for the accounts of users aged under 18. Children under 13 will require a parent or guardian to type in a password to continue scrolling (滚屏) through their feed, and those aged 13-17 will be asked to set their own password s when the viewing time goes beyond the limit.
Studies suggest that 30 minutes may be the best for social media use, where users are able to stay connected with friends and family and view entertainment. However, many other studies show that overly-heavy social media use can lead to a lot of problems, like physical and mental problems.
By suggesting 100 minutes as a hard line where a password is required to be created by the user, TikTok is gradually making the standards clear about what may be regarded as a problematic social media habit in young people. Although these passwords for older teenagers can obviously be bypassed, they are a step in the right direction in encouraging children to use social media responsibly.
In addition, parents who own their own TikTok accounts will be able to link with their children’s accounts, gaining additional controls, such as muting notifications (消息免打扰) and customizing time limits for different days in the week.
Algorithms (算法) that could tell parents if the child has been viewing dangerous material could soon be put into use. However, the difficulty in this is the amount of content available on the internet. Finally, apps such as TikTok and Instagram will need to continue introducing more measures to improve online safety for children.
Lawmakers around the world are paying close attention to the effect social media has on the young, meaning that the development of new tools to improve its use will no doubt take place soon if big tech wishes to avoid additional legal problems.
12. Why did TikTok introduce screen time limits for teenagers
A. To prevent their overuse of social media. B. To improve online safety.
C. To strengthen their relationship with parents. D. To develop their ability of self-control.
13. What’s the author’s attitude towards TikTok’s new policy
A. Indifferent. B. Critical. C. Supportive. D. Unclear.
14. What can parents do to help children use social media responsibly
A. Type in a password to stop the use. B. Get connected to the children’s account.
C. Set the same time limits in a week. D. Use algorithms to remove dangerous content.
15 What does the last paragraph mainly talk about social media
A. Its impacts on the young. B. Solutions to its technological problems.
C. Its application to lawmaking. D. Legal pressure on its improvement.
