Passage 2
Me: Hello, Television Viewers! I am Aziza Bellamy, and thanks for watching. I want to especially thank you, Ms. Bertha, for agreeing to this interview on live television. It’s a pleasure to meet you, the first-known trans-galactic visitor to Earth. Now, I understand that you are from a planet called Zadernol
Bertha: Just call me Miss Bertha or Bertha, please, but not “Ms.”
Me: Okay, sorry about that. So, you’ve been on Earth for about a week now. What have been your biggest disappointments or challenges so far
Bertha: It’s not the worst planet I’ve ever been to. Mercury was much worse. The aliens— oops, I mean humans, have been unkind, overall. The family I’m staying with, for example, were nice at first. But now they roll their eyes whenever I open my mouth to say anything. They’re not interested in any of my stories. And I think they may be trying to avoid me. Worst of all, they make me wash my own dishes and bathe myself. They’re so rude.
Me: Oh um. . . wow. That’s just. . .
Bertha: I am used to having high standards when I choose where to stay, by the way. I have stayed with royalty and presidents on other planets. And they all adored (崇拜) me and begged me not to leave. But I gave this human family a chance to host me. I mean, really, they should be grateful that I selected them, of all the people on Earth, to wash my clothes and cook my meals and entertain (款待) me.
Me: Well what you’re saying is surprising, Bertha. Do you think it’s possible that this family just wants you to pitch in a little, to be a good guest
Bertha: It’s odd to me that you’re not agreeing with me. If you were smarter, you’d agree with me. That’s another thing. Everyone on Zadernol is smarter than the smartest person on Earth. Earth is below me.
Me: You know what. Bertha I’m starting to see why you’re so unhappy here on Earth. You’re just a boastful (自夸的), spoiled alien.

Passage 3
The very fast changes and developments in technology are regular news items. Our children are growing up in a world that is more grounded in technology than ever before.
Children nowadays don’t recognize the technology their parents grew up with. There are videos and articles that show children trying to use outdated technology. It is funny to watch them try to work out what to do with a telephone that doesn’t have a touch screen. Also watch the video about children trying to work out what to do with a cassette tape and a Walkman. The concepts and machines once familiar to parents are now very alien to their kids.
Who can remember when black and white television became colour television One parent posted on social media that she was watching a re-run of a show popular in the 1950s with her young son. He asked her what was wrong with the television because the show had been filmed in black and white. He had never seen anything on television in black and white.
Television channels now broadcast 24 hours a day. In the past, television had a start and finish time. After the last program, the test pattern appeared on the screen. It showed that the transmitter was working but that no program was being broadcast. These patterns were also used when there was a problem with the broadcasting. Can you imagine what children would do now if they saw this kind of symbol on the screen in front of them
To show children the technology that their parents once used, but which children don’t understand is the focus of the travelling exhibit the National History Museum has put together. It features items that are now just a memory for the older generation. Go and see the exhibition now!

Passage 4
（2024·江苏扬州·一模）Binge-watching is when a person watches more than one episode of a show in quick succession (一连串，连续). With developments in the speed and connectivity of the Internet, increases in technology and the rise of on-demand entertainment companies, people can now have their favorite shows streamed directly to their television at their convenience.
This behavior is nothing new. In fact, “binge-watching” has been officially listed in dictionaries since 2015. The entertainment companies recognize this behavior and many take steps to encourage it. Often, instead of releasing each episode on a week-by-week basis, an entire series will become available concurrently. Once the episode finishes many platforms will display pop-ups with “you might like suggestions, or will automatically play the next episode”.
However, recent research suggests that out of the more than half of British adults who watch more than one episode of a show back-to-back, almost a third have admitted missing sleep or becoming tired as a result; and one quarter have neglected their household chores. Next we’ll be missing work!
Bingeing has other connections-binge eating, binge drinking and binge smoking. All of them are often associated with a lack of control and a possible route to addiction. Lindsey Fussell, consumer group director, said, “The days of waiting a week for the next episode are largely gone, with people finding it hard to resist watching multiple episodes around the house or on the move.” If people find binge-watching hard to resist, coupled with the fact that it has shown to lead to negligence in many, are we witnessing the birth of a new type of addiction
The countless of information and entertainment that television and online media can bring us is, many would say, a good thing. However, when the activity begins to bleed into other areas, causing us to stop functioning then it becomes a problem. So, what’s the answer Moderation! Neither a tiny amount, nor too much. After all, as the old proverb says, “A little of what you fancy does you good.”

A．similarly B．gradually C．naturally D．necessarily
3．What Lindsey said in Paragraph 4 implies that _______.
A．people have no patience to do work
B．people can’t control their movements
C．people are delighted to watch television
D．people can’t resist the temptation
4．What advice did the writer give at last
A．To watch episodes in a moderate way.
B．To draw life lessons from the episodes.
C．To enjoy entertainment as much as possible.
D．To keep online media from stopping functioning.

Passage 6
The Spring Festival Gala(春晚) hosted by China Central Television each year has become an important part of the Chinese Lunar New Year celebration since 1983. As an important part of traditional Chinese culture, the celebration of Spring Festival is spreading around the world.
The Spring Festival Gala is combined with songs, dances, comic sketches, opera and folk arts. Harmony(和谐) and reunion(团聚) are the two themes of the gala. With a cheerful atmosphere, the gala is filled with laughter and applause from the beginning to the end. The gala usually starts at 8:00 on New Year’s Eve and lasts for about four hours. The program’s TV ratings have ranked first among China’s different shows over the past thirty years.
But it’s difficult to fit all audiences’(观众的) tastes. Each year the gala hopes to absorb(吸收) new ideas and surprise people. So it has become a big challenge for CCTV and its creative staff. In recent years, some people have thought the Spring Festival Gala should be canceled. But lots of people still support it. Some local TV stations even have begun to host their own shows, which have met the growing cultural needs of audiences. One successful example is Hunan TV’s gala. Another new type of show is the Shanzhai (copycat) Spring Festival Gala Show. Whether people watch CCTV’s gala or other similar shows, Chinese people will surely enjoy themselves on the Lunar New Year’s Eve.
