Ⅰ.阅读理解
Family vlogging—the frequent recording and uploading of personal videos of the family, usually on video sharing websites—has become a big business nowadays, especially among parents of young children. The more viewers such videos can get, the more money the family can make. At first thought, it does seem like an easy way to make money. However, aren't we doing wrong by putting their lives up for public attention
For one thing, as the children grow up, they increasingly become aware that what they do needs to be admirable enough for the public to enjoy. Being young children, they also would want to do whatever it takes to please others. They then feel the pressure to be perfect, and as that is something not always possible, they become anxious and ments from viewers and the expectations of sponsors can also affect the parents' reactions to their children.
Another problem is the lack of privacy in the children's lives. As the children reach adolescence, there is a greater need for personal space. At 12 or 13, very few children would appreciate being filmed, for instance, eating or having a conversation with their friends. Adolescence is a time of significant change in an individual, both physically and emotionally, and is a time when parents need to protect their children and guide them, instead of exposing them to the eyes of the public.
Family vlogging can be irresistible, given how it allows parents to bring greater fun to their family lives. There is also the easy money and the fame to look forward to. Indeed, all would probably go well, but only as long as parents keep in mind that, if not managed well, making their children live their lives in the unforgiving eyes of the public could prove to be a big mistake.
1.How does vlogging about children's lives influence the family
A.Children will get used to public attention.
B.Children may suffer from too much pressure.
C.Parents may show no concern for their children.
D.Parents become addicted to exposing their children to the public.
2.How does the writer mainly develop his argument
A.By providing examples. B.By listing numbers.
C.By making comparisons. D.By analyzing causes.
3.What's the writer's purpose of writing the text
A.To introduce a big new business.
B.To show how vlogging influences people's lives.
C.To persuade parents to watch out for comments from viewers.
D.To convince parents of the danger of vlogging about children's lives.
4.What's the writer's attitude to vlogging about children's lives
A.Negative. B.Positive. C.Neutral. D.Uninterested.
Ⅱ.七选五
To shoot a scene of people eating food, you need two different perspectives. To record a bus journey to school, you need three quick cuts. To complete this short, morning rush-hour video blog—or “vlog”—you need four pieces of music. 1
With more than 90 million vlogs available online, and 2,000 posted every hour on the YouTube video-sharing site, CBS News says they are the mainstream among people born after 1995.
2 More young Chinese people have become inspired to grab a camera and recount the details of their day on Sina Weibo, Bilibili or WeChat Moments.
“The priority about vlogging is to tell a good story. Other visual effects are auxiliary (辅助的),” wrote US vlogger Casey Neistat, who has more than 12 million subscribers on YouTube.
Chinese vlogger Wang Xiaoguang is an example of a good storyteller. In one of his popular vlog posts, Wang tells the story of traveling to Japan. While there, he took a ride in the wrong direction and got lost. Even worse, he forgot to bring a phone charger. 3
Another critical aspect of vlogs is that the content is based on everyday life, according to a young Chinese musician. She documents her life at Berklee College of Music. Ordinary as vlogs are, as many as 15 million fans share her joys and sorrows on a daily basis.
4 Peng Yixuan, a news reporter with China Daily, recorded her first experience attending and reporting on the “Two Sessions” in March of this year. With a relaxing, chatty and personal approach, she presented the conferences, “bringing more warmth” to the grand political event, according to People's Daily.
There are popular vlogs for beauty, gaming, fashion, food and travel. Vloggers are learning new ways to experience the thrill of them. 5 Then what are you waiting for Grab a camera!
A.They come from all walks of life.
B.However, he didn't take the number of his hotel.
C.Vlogging has taken China by storm over the past years.
D.Some other popular vloggers choose to show their careers.

Ⅲ.完形填空
The universal use of technology has resulted in a constant current of information interrupting the “flow” of our life. This 1 category was initially marketed as “call waiting” for our phones. But now our eyes, ears, and fingers are glued to our technology 24/7. We are 2 by emails, texts, or the online news platforms. My friend Ron refers to this technology as “weapons of mass distraction”.
But how is this mass distraction 3 us According to a 2010 Kaiser Family Foundation release, children from eight to eighteen spend an average of seven hours and thirty-eight minutes a day using the entertainment media. In addition, a study found that exposure to the 4 media was associated with attention problems in a sample of 210 college students.
The 5 is just part of the larger picture. Dealing with a crowd of daily text messages and emails makes it difficult for us to be by ourselves when all that activity stops. Although a sense of 6 is natural at times, our addiction to the nonstop interaction afforded by technology deepens that feeling when access to the technology is unexpectedly 7 . Just think how you feel when you lack cell phone or web access. Is it possible that our obsession with continually checking our emails and text messages has contributed to our 8 to genuinely connect with others
Apart from the effects of technology on our 9 and our ability to be at ease without technology, let's examine how interacting with our devices 10 the development of our fundamental communication and social skills. Many researchers observe that everyday conversation between human beings is becoming increasingly 11 .
Many of today's children are growing up with built-in dependence on devices, making it difficult for them to feel 12 in everyday social situations. Often they find it 13 to make eye contact or deal with even the simplest face-to-face interaction without the aid of technology.
Over time these children forget how to connect with each other because they have become habituated to using technology to 14 direct contact with others and life itself. 15 , some neuroscientists believe that the use of the Internet actually rewires our brains.
