Vacation in the sun
夏威夷之旅：一场短暂的逃离
For over a year, I had not left my house because of the pandemic. I dreamed of a getaway.
Luckily, my best friend was also thinking of getting out of Los Angeles and invited me to go to Hawaii with her family. After two COVID-19 tests and a double-masked five-hour flight, our five-person group arrived on the Big Island in Hawaii.
We packed into a car and drove to our rental (租的) house. It was late at night, so we didn’t really see the island until the next day. Our first day was bright and sunny, so we spent all day at the beach before getting shaved ice (刨冰).
We found possibly the best shaved ice place on the island. Big Island Shaved Ice Company (BISIC) has homemade, natural shaved ice flavors (口味) such as passion fruit (百香果), lychee (荔枝), coconut and mango. Unsurprisingly, we visited the place every day.
Other than the delicious dessert, Hawaii treated (招待) us to cloudy, sometimes rainy weather on the days we planned to go hiking to waterfalls, and sunny weather on the days we planned to head to the beaches (where I got very, very sunburned). My favorite activity, though, was when we went horseback riding. We saw bright green fields and breathtaking views of the island’s shoreline (海岸线). I rode a horse named Arya. Along the way, our guide told us interesting stories about the island.
Although I was sad to leave, after a week of laughter and fun, I was more prepared to go back into quarantine (隔离).

Step 4: Eat breakfast and eat smaller meals during the day.
Step 5: Eat more healthy vegetables and whole grains.

Stay active, stay fit
全球有14亿成年人缺乏运动
People across the world need to get moving, according to a new study by the World Health Organization (WHO).
About 25 percent of adults (成年人) do not get enough exercise, according to the study. This figure (数字) hasn’t changed from 2001. Because of this, about 1.4 billion people are at greater risk (风险) for deadly diseases (疾病) such as heart disease and cancer.
People should do at least 150 minutes of “moderate intensity (中等强度)” exercise each week, such as dancing or swimming. They can also do 75 minutes of “vigorous intensity (高强度)” activity, such as running or playing soccer, according to the WHO.
As for how to exercise more, experts suggest we don’t have to go to the gym every time, the Guardian noted. For example, we can go up and down stairs a lot instead of taking the lift. If we don’t feel we can go to a dancing class each week, standing on one leg for 30 seconds a day is very good too.
The study also found that women are less active than men, with 32 percent of women failing to exercise enough, compared to 23 percent of men. Women tend to spend more time at home taking care of children and doing housework, Time magazine noted.
Countries with higher incomes showed higher rates of inactivity. For example, people in Kuwait and the United States exercise less than people in Uganda and Nepal. This is partly because in developed areas, desk jobs have taken the place of manual labor (体力劳动).
21．About________ of adults do not get enough exercise.
A．23% B．25% C．30% D．32%
22．The risk of having deadly diseases can be related to________ according to the study.
A．smoking B．drinking C．exercise D．sleeping

Holiday home
越来越多的英国人选择在国内度假
The British people have just discovered a new country. It’s called the UK! More and more people are choosing to take their holidays in their own country rather than travel abroad.
One of the most traditional British holidays is the “seaside holiday”. Stereotypically (典型地), families get on a train or into a car and travel to British seaside towns.
In the late 1970s, air travel became affordable (负担得起) for the average (普通的) family, and more and more British people started traveling abroad for their summer holidays. After all, the British weather isn’t very good, even in summer, so a lot of Britons leave the UK for a vacation.
British holidaying habits have begun to change, however. Climate (气候) change means that the UK now has a hotter climate than before, so people do not need to go overseas to find good weather. Also, the credit crunch (信贷危机) has affected (影响) the international value of the British pound, so going abroad is more expensive than it used to be. As a result, more and more Britons are choosing to spend their summer holidays in the UK.
In the UK, the domestic (国内的) tourism industry—when people go on holiday in their own country—is healthier than it has been before. UK newspapers have even invented a new word: a “staycation”. It is a term to describe the vacation when people stay in their own homes and go on a few day-trips rather than spending money on hotels.
In some ways, therefore, the UK has come full circle. There is now an increased appreciation (欣赏) among Britons for the diversity (多样性) of the UK. It is not just the geography that is diverse, ranging (范围包括) from the green hills of England to the mountains of Scotland. It is also the diversity of cultures that is beginning to be of interest to domestic tourists. People forget sometimes that there are different accents (方言), languages, traditions, cuisines (美食) and peoples across all the regions of the UK.
The UK has always been famous for its international explorers (探险者). It is only just starting to discover itself.
36．The British weather was ________ in the late 1970s.
A．very good B．not very good
C．changeable D．cold
37．“Staycation” is a vacation when _________.
A．people stay in hotels and go on a few day-trips
B．people travel to British seaside towns
C．people stay in their homes and go on a few day-trips
D．people go abroad
38．British people find that ________.
A．the UK is also a good place to spend their holidays in
B．more and more people like to travel to other countries
C．the UK isn’t a good place to live
D．going abroad is cheaper than it used to be
39．British people are paying more attention to Britain’s ________.
A．economy B．climate
C．diversity D． language
40．What does the passage mainly tell us
A．More and more Britons travel abroad.
B．More and more Britons travel in their own country.
C．The weather in the UK changes a lot.
D．The credit crunch in the UK.

It’s the age of globalization (全球化). Globalization influences our daily (日常的) lives, such as entertainment, clothing and food.
Popular culture has become more globalized. People in the US enjoy listening to South African music and reading Japanese comic books. American soap operas are popular in Israel.
India has a lively movie industry called “Bollywood”. Bollywood movies are popular in India. In fact, some Bollywood movies do much better in the US or the UK than they do in India.

American fast food chains (连锁店) have become common around the world. McDonald’s has more than 37,000 restaurants in over 100 countries.

Disneyland is a dream place for kids. But for 6-year-old Moonee, it’s never been her park. Moonee and her jobless mother live in a motel near Disneyland. They try to stay out of trouble and make ends meet.
The film shows the lives of the poor in the US. However, it’s a film full of bright colors and warm sunshine because it shows the world in the eyes of a child. Moonee spends most of her day hanging out with her friends. They often play tricks on other people. The performances in the movie have gotten great praise—especially those of the child actors.
Logan
Logan is the only superhero movie on the list. It’s the third and final Wolverine film and will likely be the last time for Hugh Jackman to play this character.
The story is set in 2029, when Logan is getting old and losing his superpowers. He plans to hide himself from the outside world, but he meets a young girl who is very much like him. Logan must now protect the girl and fight evil soldiers who want to kidnap her.
The film not only includes great special effects and a fascinating storyline, but also shows how an aging hero deals with his life. Logan has been praised for its touching story.

Are you too shy
Are you shy sometimes The answer from 16-year-old Liu Yuexian is “Yes”. “When my teacher asked me to come to the blackboard, I was too nervous to work out the problem,” said Liu. “I thought everyone was looking at me.”
Do you feel the same as Liu Experts have found that more than 80 per cent of middle school students feel afraid to be the centre of attention. Shyness means feeling frightened when you’re around other people. Some kids are born shy. Some become shy later because of their life experiences. It’s OK if it takes you a while to feel yourself again when you go to a new place or meet new people.
In fact, everybody gets a little shy sometimes. It’s just a case of how much. Most people have red faces and talk in broken sentences when they get shy. But some become so shy that they won’t go to a restaurant because they are too nervous to order and pay for their food. Some are afraid of meeting new people, so they seldom go outside. This kind of shyness can be bad for a person.
If shyness doesn’t stop you from doing something you want to do, being shy isn’t a very big problem. Some experts say shy people are smarter because they think more and talk less. Shy people are also good at working with others because they think more for other people. You see, being shy isn’t all bad. But remember not to let good opportunities pass you by just because of it. If you have to sing a song at a birthday party or practise spoken English in front of others, just do it! There’s nothing to be afraid of.
76．________ of middle school students feel afraid to be the centre of attention.
A．Less than 80% B．More than 80% C．Less than 60% D．All
77．What does the underlined word “frightened” mean

B．Being shy isn’t a very big problem.
C．If shyness stops you from doing something you want to do, it is bad for you.
D．All kinds of shyness are good for you.
79．Why are shy people smarter according to some experts
A．Because they are good at working.
B．Because they think less and talk more.
C．Because they think more and talk less.
D．Because they can speak in front of others.
80．What’s the passage mainly about

Can talent shows save music
Most people don’t know the name of the champion of Hunan TV’s 2003 Super Boy, which is considered China’s first commercialized TV music talent show. In the last 10 years, music talent shows have become one of the most celebrated forms of TV entertainment in China.
Talent shows like The Voice of China, The X Factor, Chinese Idol, and Super Boy are bombarding TV audiences.
Apart from providing entertainment, these shows also reflect the country’s cultural and societal transformation as it strides toward modernity. But despite their commercial success, experts are skeptical as to the potential of TV music talent shows to boost the country’s struggling music industry.
Transformed culture
Zheng Xin, a professor at the School of Journalism & Communication at Nanjing University, says a grassroots-oriented rather than elite-based culture is emerging in China. While individuality and personal opinions are now tolerated and celebrated, audiences still yearn for a collective recognition of their own identity.
“The popularity of music talent shows is inevitable in an era in which audiences seek out ‘idols’ with a similar social background to their own,” says Zheng.
Luo Gang, a professor in Chinese literature at East China Normal University, agrees.
“When participants who belong to the same class as them take the spotlight and succeed, it resonates with mass audiences.”
Luo adds that the new generation is changing its attitude toward showing off talents, which is also fueling the phenomenon. Chinese tend to be shy and are reluctant to demonstrate their talents due to a traditional value of humbleness. But recent decades have witnessed an increasing willingness among young Chinese to show off their talents, highlight their individuality and be unique.
Wu Mochou, for example, from 2012’s The Voice of China expressed strong willingness to show off her talent on stage.
“We are entering an era in which the demonstration of talents can be consumed like a product,” says Luo.
Troubled industry
According to the Chongqing Economic Times, more than 22 music talent shows are scheduled on various TV stations across the country this summer. Beijing Youth Daily reported recently that The Voice of China, broadcast by Zhejiang Satellite TV, has generated more than 100 million yuan in net profits since the show completed airing last year, mostly through concerts and commercials.
But Shen Lihui, president of Modern Sky, a record company, doesn’t think the booming business of music talent shows is a cure for the music industry, which has long been haunted by a lack of innovation and unequal profit distribution.
“Music is nothing more than a platform, or a tool, for entertainment,” says Shen. “These shows are not helping to fundamentally tackle the problems in China’s music industry.”
Wang Lei, a veteran music producer and critic, warns of the risks entailed in TV music talent shows.
“No matter what form they take, talent shows are just shows at the end of the day,” Wang told Beijing Daily recently. “The monopoly of TV stations in signing and marketing artists is suffocating the industry.”
Song Ke, a renowned music producer, acknowledges these problems but also believes that music talent shows are pushing the industry in a new direction. While record companies do not have the financial resources to promote new artists, TV music talent shows have become an alternative for discovering new talents.
81．________is considered China’s first commercialized TV music talent show.
A．The Voice of China B．The X Factor
C．Chinese Idol D．2003 Super Boy
82．According to Zheng Xin, ________ is emerging in China.
A．grassroots-oriented culture B．elite-based culture
C．traditional culture D．music industry
83．Why are music talent shows popular
A．Because ‘idols’ in the shows are talented.
B．Because ‘idols’ in the shows are as rich as the public.
C．Because ‘idols’ in the shows resonate with the public.
D．Because ‘idols’ in the shows are reluctant to demonstrate their talents.
84．The underlined word “reluctant” means________.
A．乐意的 B．不情愿的 C．开心的 D．传统的
85．What’s the passage mainly about
A．The author’s opinion on music talent shows.
B．Some opinions on films.
C．Some opinions on music talent shows.
D．The advantages of music talent shows.
【答案】81．D 82．A 83．C 84．B 85．C
【导语】本篇是一篇议论文。文章在谈论关于才艺表演是否能拯救中国的音乐产业的问题，通过最近比较火热的音乐选秀节目可以看到中国的草根才艺表演虽然不能从根本上解决相关产业问题，但确实正在推动音乐产业走向一个新的方向。
81．细节理解题。根据“Most people don’t know the name of the champion of Hunan TV’s 2003 Super Boy, which is considered China’s first commercialized TV music talent show.”可知，2003 Super Boy被认为是中国第一个商业化的电视音乐选秀节目。故选D。
82．细节理解题。根据“Zheng Xin ... says a grassroots-oriented rather than elite-based culture is emerging in China.”可知，郑欣表示，中国正在出现一种以草根为导向的文化。故选A。
83．推理判断题。根据第五段至第七段的描述可知，音乐选秀节目之所以流行，是因为节目中的偶像的背景能够与大众产生共鸣。故选C。
84．词义猜测题。根据第八段第二、三句中的“But”可知，前后句意相反，后句意为“近年来中国年轻人越来越愿意展示自己的才华”，可推断前句大意为“中国传统价值观中，中国人往往比较害羞，不愿意展示自己的才能”， 即推测reluctant意为“不情愿的”。故选B。
85．主旨大意题。本文通过具体的中国选秀节目个例引出对如今音乐类选秀节目的探讨，引用了数名业界知名人士及评论者的观点和态度，对音乐选秀节目的未来趋势以及影响做出了评判。故选C。

A faster generation
Have you heard of 5G It is the fifth generation of mobile network technology. These new networks are just around the corner.
China just issued commercial licenses for 5G on June 6. This means that China’s telecom companies will soon be able to offer 5G networks for mobile phone users.
Each mobile network generation is faster and more powerful than the one before it. 1G let us talk to each other. 2G let us send messages. 3G gave us data and the internet. And 4G made all of these things faster. What’s special about 5G
5G has a very short delay between sending and receiving information. Now, 4G takes about 100 to 200 milliseconds to send and receive data. But 5G will get it down to 1 millisecond or less – this is almost real-time.
This big change will not only make our mobile internet faster. It will also deeply change our lives. Read on to find out how.
5G + entertainment
5G networks are about 100 times faster than 4G. This means you can download a movie in seconds using 5G.
Also, VR games will become more popular with 5G. The short delay of 5G will make the games feel even more real.
5G + transportation
5G will also bring us safer self-driving cars. These cars can send signals to each other. They also “talk” to traffic lights and road sensors. 5G will allow cars to react even faster than human drivers.
5G + smart homes
5G also makes the Internet of Things possible. IoT is a large network that connects everything to the internet. Smart homes are part of it.
For example, your toaster could automatically start making breakfast after your alarm rings. And if its sensor feels the air becoming dry, a smart sprinkler could water your plants by itself.
86．What does the underlined phrase “around the corner” mean
A．在不远处 B．陨落 C．即将诞生 D．重生
87．China issued commercial licenses for 5G on________.
A．May B．June C．July D．August
88．________was mainly used to give us data and the internet.
A．1G B．2G C．3G D．4G
89．Which of the following is true according to the passage
A．Each mobile network generation is slower than the one before it.
B．4G can send and receive data in real-time.
C．5G can be applied in various fields of life.
D．Self-driving cars are the safest.
90．What’s the passage mainly about
A．5G in our lives.
B．The differences from 1G to 5G.
C．Some new technologies.
D．The disadvantages of 5G.

Before we upload a photo of ourselves to social media, like WeChat, we’ll use an app to smooth our skin, make our eyes look bigger, and give us longer eyelashes and fuller lips. With a couple of touches on our mobile phone, we’re able to present the best pictures of ourselves to others.
However, the problem is, when we simply edit our imperfections（瑕疵）away, we’re also changing the way we look at our ourselves. （1）.
Last month, researchers from the US Boston University published an article Selfies—Living in the Era of Filtered（滤镜）Photographs. The article listed the bad effects of photo editing on people and the possibility to cause appearance worries. （2）.
The researchers think that these apps make it difficult to tell between reality and fantasy（虚幻）. “These apps allow one to change his or her appearance in minutes and follow an unrealistic standard of beauty,” the article says. （3）.
In the past, people might compare their looks to those who were famous that time. But for today’s young people, beauty standards are most likely set by what they see on social media. “From birth, they are born into an age of social platforms, and their feelings are connected to how good they look,” a British doctor Escho said.
（4）“Now you’ve got the comparison of your real self to fake self that you present on social media,” Renee Engeln, a professor at Northwestern University, told the HuffPost website. He further pointed out that when people spend too much time comparing with others, they may become “beauty sick” and find it difficult to accept what they actually look like.
So when we look in a real mirror, we shouldn’t think to ourselves, “Do I look as good as myself in the Beauty Cam（美颜） ” Instead, we should think, “I feel good. I have my health.”
91．What may people do before they present the best of themselves on social media
A．Wearing false eyelashes. B．Redding their lips before going out.
C．Using apps to edit photos. D．Smoothing their skin in the morning.
92．Where should we put the sentence “This is why many young people suffer an appearance worries when it comes to how they really look.”
A．（4） B．（3） C．（2） D．（1）
93．Who did people use to compare their looks to
A．Famous people. B．People who they see on social media.
C．Family members. D．Their friends.
94．Which of the following is right according to the passage
A．Everybody looks as good as himself in the Beauty Cam.
B．These apps make it easy to tell between reality and fantasy.
C．The article listed the bad and good effects of photo editing on people.
D．People today pay more attention on how good they look than in the past.
95．What did the author write this passage for
A．To call on people to care more about appearance.
B．To call on people not to use apps on mobile phones.
C．To call on people to spend too much time comparing with others.
D．To call on people to learn something more important than appearance.
【答案】91．C 92．A 93．A 94．D 95．D
【导语】本文讲述了现在很多人把自己的照片用应用程序编辑后，上传到社交媒体上。但是在上面展示的照片和自己真实的样子不一样。作者写这篇文章的目的是号召我们不只是了解自己的外貌，还可以了解我们的健康。
91．细节理解题。根据“Before we upload a photo of ourselves to social media, like WeChat, we’ll use an app to smooth our skin, make our eyes look bigger, and give us longer eyelashes and fuller lips”可知在社交媒体上展示最好的自己之前，人们会使用软件编辑照片。故选C。
92．推理判断题。根据““Now you’ve got the comparison of your real self to fake self that you present on social media”（现在你有了在社交媒体上真实的自我和虚假的自我的比较）以及“He further pointed out that when people spend too much time comparing with others, they may become ‘beauty sick’ and find it difficult to accept what they actually look like”（他进一步指出，当人们花太多时间与他人进行比较时，他们可能会患上“美容病”，难以接受自己的真实面貌。）可知我们可以把“这就是为什么很多年轻人在谈到他们真正的样子时，会为外表而烦恼”这句话放在（4）处，故选A。
93．细节理解题。根据“In the past, people might compare their looks to those who were famous that time”可知在过去，人们可能会把他们的长相与当时的名人进行比较，故选A。
94．推理判断题。根据“In the past, people might compare their looks to those who were famous that time. But for today’s young people, beauty standards are most likely set by what they see on social media”可知今天的人们比过去更注重自己的外表。故选D。
95．推理判断题。根据“So when we look in a real mirror, we shouldn't think to ourselves, ‘Do I look as good as myself in the Beauty Cam（美颜） ’ Instead, we should think, ‘I feel good. I have my health.’”可知作者希望人们去学习比外表更重要的东西。故选D。

Time for family
One of my most memorable (难忘的) vacations took place on a farm.
When I was a boy, my parents and I traveled from New York City to the countryside for a weeklong taste of rural life. We stayed in a guesthouse on a farm, joining in the daily routines (日常事务) and eating meals with the farmer and his family.
We got up early to see the cows as they were milked. I even tried my hand at milking one, then joined the farmer as he released the cows into the field afterward. Later, while my parents busied themselves with farm chores, I helped feed the other animals, then played with the farmer’s kids.
Decades later I still have vivid memories of that trip and of experiencing a lifestyle different from my own. It made me realize the value of a vacation, of seeing new things, meeting new people and sharing memorable experiences with family members.
To this day I still consider that family trip when I plan my approach to taking time off with my wife and kids. Vacations are a time for resting and connecting. As a bank manager, I spend much of my workday encouraging my customers to save their money. One of the reasons I give is that we should all have enough for a family vacation every year. In our busy lives, family is what we should be saving our money, and time for.
For my family, our vacations start when we begin planning the trips. We talk about destinations and our budget ahead of time. Among the things we discuss: Can we save money by renting a house instead of spending six nights in a hotel Would it be better to buy groceries and cook for ourselves rather than eat out every night
Involving the kids in planning the vacation makes sure that they have a great vacation too. While I prefer to visit historical sites and museums, they love to fish and swim. So I build in some relaxation time so that the vacation works for everyone.
Each year, setting aside vacation time to spend together is especially important to us. A relaxing environment opens the doors to all kinds of conversations—deep, silly, meaningful. There’s no pressure from the usual everyday tasks.
This is the one week a year when I don’t care whether my kids cleaned their room or did the dishes. What matters that week is that everyone is having a great time.
96．The author’s family stayed in a________ on a farm for a weeklong taste of rural life.
A．greenhouse B．hotel

Vacation in the sun
夏威夷之旅：一场短暂的逃离
For over a year, I had not left my house because of the pandemic. I dreamed of a getaway.
Luckily, my best friend was also thinking of getting out of Los Angeles and invited me to go to Hawaii with her family. After two COVID-19 tests and a double-masked five-hour flight, our five-person group arrived on the Big Island in Hawaii.
We packed into a car and drove to our rental (租的) house. It was late at night, so we didn’t really see the island until the next day. Our first day was bright and sunny, so we spent all day at the beach before getting shaved ice (刨冰).
We found possibly the best shaved ice place on the island. Big Island Shaved Ice Company (BISIC) has homemade, natural shaved ice flavors (口味) such as passion fruit (百香果), lychee (荔枝), coconut and mango. Unsurprisingly, we visited the place every day.
Other than the delicious dessert, Hawaii treated (招待) us to cloudy, sometimes rainy weather on the days we planned to go hiking to waterfalls, and sunny weather on the days we planned to head to the beaches (where I got very, very sunburned). My favorite activity, though, was when we went horseback riding. We saw bright green fields and breathtaking views of the island’s shoreline (海岸线). I rode a horse named Arya. Along the way, our guide told us interesting stories about the island.
Although I was sad to leave, after a week of laughter and fun, I was more prepared to go back into quarantine (隔离).

Stay active, stay fit
全球有14亿成年人缺乏运动
People across the world need to get moving, according to a new study by the World Health Organization (WHO).
About 25 percent of adults (成年人) do not get enough exercise, according to the study. This figure (数字) hasn’t changed from 2001. Because of this, about 1.4 billion people are at greater risk (风险) for deadly diseases (疾病) such as heart disease and cancer.
People should do at least 150 minutes of “moderate intensity (中等强度)” exercise each week, such as dancing or swimming. They can also do 75 minutes of “vigorous intensity (高强度)” activity, such as running or playing soccer, according to the WHO.
As for how to exercise more, experts suggest we don’t have to go to the gym every time, the Guardian noted. For example, we can go up and down stairs a lot instead of taking the lift. If we don’t feel we can go to a dancing class each week, standing on one leg for 30 seconds a day is very good too.
The study also found that women are less active than men, with 32 percent of women failing to exercise enough, compared to 23 percent of men. Women tend to spend more time at home taking care of children and doing housework, Time magazine noted.
Countries with higher incomes showed higher rates of inactivity. For example, people in Kuwait and the United States exercise less than people in Uganda and Nepal. This is partly because in developed areas, desk jobs have taken the place of manual labor (体力劳动).
21．About________ of adults do not get enough exercise.
A．23% B．25% C．30% D．32%
22．The risk of having deadly diseases can be related to________ according to the study.

Holiday home
越来越多的英国人选择在国内度假
The British people have just discovered a new country. It’s called the UK! More and more people are choosing to take their holidays in their own country rather than travel abroad.
One of the most traditional British holidays is the “seaside holiday”. Stereotypically (典型地), families get on a train or into a car and travel to British seaside towns.
In the late 1970s, air travel became affordable (负担得起) for the average (普通的) family, and more and more British people started traveling abroad for their summer holidays. After all, the British weather isn’t very good, even in summer, so a lot of Britons leave the UK for a vacation.
British holidaying habits have begun to change, however. Climate (气候) change means that the UK now has a hotter climate than before, so people do not need to go overseas to find good weather. Also, the credit crunch (信贷危机) has affected (影响) the international value of the British pound, so going abroad is more expensive than it used to be. As a result, more and more Britons are choosing to spend their summer holidays in the UK.
In the UK, the domestic (国内的) tourism industry—when people go on holiday in their own country—is healthier than it has been before. UK newspapers have even invented a new word: a “staycation”. It is a term to describe the vacation when people stay in their own homes and go on a few day-trips rather than spending money on hotels.
In some ways, therefore, the UK has come full circle. There is now an increased appreciation (欣赏) among Britons for the diversity (多样性) of the UK. It is not just the geography that is diverse, ranging (范围包括) from the green hills of England to the mountains of Scotland. It is also the diversity of cultures that is beginning to be of interest to domestic tourists. People forget sometimes that there are different accents (方言), languages, traditions, cuisines (美食) and peoples across all the regions of the UK.
The UK has always been famous for its international explorers (探险者). It is only just starting to discover itself.
36．The British weather was ________ in the late 1970s.
A．very good B．not very good
C．changeable D．cold
37．“Staycation” is a vacation when _________.
A．people stay in hotels and go on a few day-trips
B．people travel to British seaside towns
C．people stay in their homes and go on a few day-trips
D．people go abroad
38．British people find that ________.
A．the UK is also a good place to spend their holidays in
B．more and more people like to travel to other countries
C．the UK isn’t a good place to live
D．going abroad is cheaper than it used to be
39．British people are paying more attention to Britain’s ________.
A．economy B．climate
C．diversity D． language
40．What does the passage mainly tell us
A．More and more Britons travel abroad.
B．More and more Britons travel in their own country.
C．The weather in the UK changes a lot.
D．The credit crunch in the UK.
It’s the age of globalization (全球化). Globalization influences our daily (日常的) lives, such as entertainment, clothing and food.
Popular culture has become more globalized. People in the US enjoy listening to South African music and reading Japanese comic books. American soap operas are popular in Israel.
India has a lively movie industry called “Bollywood”. Bollywood movies are popular in India. In fact, some Bollywood movies do much better in the US or the UK than they do in India.
Clothing styles have also become more uniform (统一的) because of globalization. In most parts of the world, bankers wear suits, and jeans and T-shirts are common for young people.
There has also been an increasing exchange of foods across the globe. People in England eat Indian curry, while people in Peru enjoy Japanese sushi. American fast food chains (连锁店) have become common around the world. McDonald’s has more than 37,000 restaurants in over 100 countries. And people all over the world are eating more meat and sugary foods.
The development of McDonald’s has become a symbol of globalization. Some menu foods are the same all over the world. Other menu foods are specific (持定的) to some areas. At McDonald’s in some countries in South America, a “McHuevo” is a burger topped with a fried egg. Globalization has brought McDonald’s to billions of consumers (消费者) worldwide.
41．What’s the structure (结构) of the text (Paragraph 1=①)

Are you too shy
Are you shy sometimes The answer from 16-year-old Liu Yuexian is “Yes”. “When my teacher asked me to come to the blackboard, I was too nervous to work out the problem,” said Liu. “I thought everyone was looking at me.”
Do you feel the same as Liu Experts have found that more than 80 per cent of middle school students feel afraid to be the centre of attention. Shyness means feeling frightened when you’re around other people. Some kids are born shy. Some become shy later because of their life experiences. It’s OK if it takes you a while to feel yourself again when you go to a new place or meet new people.
In fact, everybody gets a little shy sometimes. It’s just a case of how much. Most people have red faces and talk in broken sentences when they get shy. But some become so shy that they won’t go to a restaurant because they are too nervous to order and pay for their food. Some are afraid of meeting new people, so they seldom go outside. This kind of shyness can be bad for a person.
If shyness doesn’t stop you from doing something you want to do, being shy isn’t a very big problem. Some experts say shy people are smarter because they think more and talk less. Shy people are also good at working with others because they think more for other people. You see, being shy isn’t all bad. But remember not to let good opportunities pass you by just because of it. If you have to sing a song at a birthday party or practise spoken English in front of others, just do it! There’s nothing to be afraid of.
76．________ of middle school students feel afraid to be the centre of attention.
A．Less than 80% B．More than 80% C．Less than 60% D．All

79．Why are shy people smarter according to some experts
A．Because they are good at working.
B．Because they think less and talk more.

Can talent shows save music
Most people don’t know the name of the champion of Hunan TV’s 2003 Super Boy, which is considered China’s first commercialized TV music talent show. In the last 10 years, music talent shows have become one of the most celebrated forms of TV entertainment in China.
Talent shows like The Voice of China, The X Factor, Chinese Idol, and Super Boy are bombarding TV audiences.
Apart from providing entertainment, these shows also reflect the country’s cultural and societal transformation as it strides toward modernity. But despite their commercial success, experts are skeptical as to the potential of TV music talent shows to boost the country’s struggling music industry.
Transformed culture
Zheng Xin, a professor at the School of Journalism & Communication at Nanjing University, says a grassroots-oriented rather than elite-based culture is emerging in China. While individuality and personal opinions are now tolerated and celebrated, audiences still yearn for a collective recognition of their own identity.
“The popularity of music talent shows is inevitable in an era in which audiences seek out ‘idols’ with a similar social background to their own,” says Zheng.
Luo Gang, a professor in Chinese literature at East China Normal University, agrees.
“When participants who belong to the same class as them take the spotlight and succeed, it resonates with mass audiences.”
Luo adds that the new generation is changing its attitude toward showing off talents, which is also fueling the phenomenon. Chinese tend to be shy and are reluctant to demonstrate their talents due to a traditional value of humbleness. But recent decades have witnessed an increasing willingness among young Chinese to show off their talents, highlight their individuality and be unique.
Wu Mochou, for example, from 2012’s The Voice of China expressed strong willingness to show off her talent on stage.
“We are entering an era in which the demonstration of talents can be consumed like a product,” says Luo.
Troubled industry
According to the Chongqing Economic Times, more than 22 music talent shows are scheduled on various TV stations across the country this summer. Beijing Youth Daily reported recently that The Voice of China, broadcast by Zhejiang Satellite TV, has generated more than 100 million yuan in net profits since the show completed airing last year, mostly through concerts and commercials.
But Shen Lihui, president of Modern Sky, a record company, doesn’t think the booming business of music talent shows is a cure for the music industry, which has long been haunted by a lack of innovation and unequal profit distribution.
“Music is nothing more than a platform, or a tool, for entertainment,” says Shen. “These shows are not helping to fundamentally tackle the problems in China’s music industry.”
Wang Lei, a veteran music producer and critic, warns of the risks entailed in TV music talent shows.
“No matter what form they take, talent shows are just shows at the end of the day,” Wang told Beijing Daily recently. “The monopoly of TV stations in signing and marketing artists is suffocating the industry.”
Song Ke, a renowned music producer, acknowledges these problems but also believes that music talent shows are pushing the industry in a new direction. While record companies do not have the financial resources to promote new artists, TV music talent shows have become an alternative for discovering new talents.
81．________is considered China’s first commercialized TV music talent show.
A．The Voice of China B．The X Factor
C．Chinese Idol D．2003 Super Boy
82．According to Zheng Xin, ________ is emerging in China.
A．grassroots-oriented culture B．elite-based culture
C．traditional culture D．music industry
83．Why are music talent shows popular
A．Because ‘idols’ in the shows are talented.
B．Because ‘idols’ in the shows are as rich as the public.
C．Because ‘idols’ in the shows resonate with the public.
D．Because ‘idols’ in the shows are reluctant to demonstrate their talents.
84．The underlined word “reluctant” means________.
A．乐意的 B．不情愿的 C．开心的 D．传统的
85．What’s the passage mainly about
A．The author’s opinion on music talent shows.
B．Some opinions on films.
C．Some opinions on music talent shows.
D．The advantages of music talent shows.

A faster generation
Have you heard of 5G It is the fifth generation of mobile network technology. These new networks are just around the corner.
China just issued commercial licenses for 5G on June 6. This means that China’s telecom companies will soon be able to offer 5G networks for mobile phone users.
Each mobile network generation is faster and more powerful than the one before it. 1G let us talk to each other. 2G let us send messages. 3G gave us data and the internet. And 4G made all of these things faster. What’s special about 5G
5G has a very short delay between sending and receiving information. Now, 4G takes about 100 to 200 milliseconds to send and receive data. But 5G will get it down to 1 millisecond or less – this is almost real-time.
This big change will not only make our mobile internet faster. It will also deeply change our lives. Read on to find out how.
5G + entertainment
5G networks are about 100 times faster than 4G. This means you can download a movie in seconds using 5G.
Also, VR games will become more popular with 5G. The short delay of 5G will make the games feel even more real.
5G + transportation
5G will also bring us safer self-driving cars. These cars can send signals to each other. They also “talk” to traffic lights and road sensors. 5G will allow cars to react even faster than human drivers.
5G + smart homes
5G also makes the Internet of Things possible. IoT is a large network that connects everything to the internet. Smart homes are part of it.
For example, your toaster could automatically start making breakfast after your alarm rings. And if its sensor feels the air becoming dry, a smart sprinkler could water your plants by itself.
86．What does the underlined phrase “around the corner” mean
A．在不远处 B．陨落 C．即将诞生 D．重生
87．China issued commercial licenses for 5G on________.
A．May B．June C．July D．August
88．________was mainly used to give us data and the internet.
A．1G B．2G C．3G D．4G
89．Which of the following is true according to the passage
A．Each mobile network generation is slower than the one before it.
B．4G can send and receive data in real-time.
C．5G can be applied in various fields of life.
D．Self-driving cars are the safest.
90．What’s the passage mainly about
A．5G in our lives.
B．The differences from 1G to 5G.
C．Some new technologies.
D．The disadvantages of 5G.
Before we upload a photo of ourselves to social media, like WeChat, we’ll use an app to smooth our skin, make our eyes look bigger, and give us longer eyelashes and fuller lips. With a couple of touches on our mobile phone, we’re able to present the best pictures of ourselves to others.
However, the problem is, when we simply edit our imperfections（瑕疵）away, we’re also changing the way we look at our ourselves. （1）.
Last month, researchers from the US Boston University published an article Selfies—Living in the Era of Filtered（滤镜）Photographs. The article listed the bad effects of photo editing on people and the possibility to cause appearance worries. （2）.
The researchers think that these apps make it difficult to tell between reality and fantasy（虚幻）. “These apps allow one to change his or her appearance in minutes and follow an unrealistic standard of beauty,” the article says. （3）.
In the past, people might compare their looks to those who were famous that time. But for today’s young people, beauty standards are most likely set by what they see on social media. “From birth, they are born into an age of social platforms, and their feelings are connected to how good they look,” a British doctor Escho said.
（4）“Now you’ve got the comparison of your real self to fake self that you present on social media,” Renee Engeln, a professor at Northwestern University, told the HuffPost website. He further pointed out that when people spend too much time comparing with others, they may become “beauty sick” and find it difficult to accept what they actually look like.
So when we look in a real mirror, we shouldn’t think to ourselves, “Do I look as good as myself in the Beauty Cam（美颜） ” Instead, we should think, “I feel good. I have my health.”
91．What may people do before they present the best of themselves on social media
A．Wearing false eyelashes. B．Redding their lips before going out.
C．Using apps to edit photos. D．Smoothing their skin in the morning.
92．Where should we put the sentence “This is why many young people suffer an appearance worries when it comes to how they really look.”
A．（4） B．（3） C．（2） D．（1）
93．Who did people use to compare their looks to
A．Famous people. B．People who they see on social media.
C．Family members. D．Their friends.
94．Which of the following is right according to the passage
A．Everybody looks as good as himself in the Beauty Cam.
B．These apps make it easy to tell between reality and fantasy.
C．The article listed the bad and good effects of photo editing on people.
D．People today pay more attention on how good they look than in the past.
95．What did the author write this passage for
A．To call on people to care more about appearance.
B．To call on people not to use apps on mobile phones.
C．To call on people to spend too much time comparing with others.
D．To call on people to learn something more important than appearance.

Time for family
One of my most memorable (难忘的) vacations took place on a farm.
When I was a boy, my parents and I traveled from New York City to the countryside for a weeklong taste of rural life. We stayed in a guesthouse on a farm, joining in the daily routines (日常事务) and eating meals with the farmer and his family.
We got up early to see the cows as they were milked. I even tried my hand at milking one, then joined the farmer as he released the cows into the field afterward. Later, while my parents busied themselves with farm chores, I helped feed the other animals, then played with the farmer’s kids.
Decades later I still have vivid memories of that trip and of experiencing a lifestyle different from my own. It made me realize the value of a vacation, of seeing new things, meeting new people and sharing memorable experiences with family members.
To this day I still consider that family trip when I plan my approach to taking time off with my wife and kids. Vacations are a time for resting and connecting. As a bank manager, I spend much of my workday encouraging my customers to save their money. One of the reasons I give is that we should all have enough for a family vacation every year. In our busy lives, family is what we should be saving our money, and time for.
For my family, our vacations start when we begin planning the trips. We talk about destinations and our budget ahead of time. Among the things we discuss: Can we save money by renting a house instead of spending six nights in a hotel Would it be better to buy groceries and cook for ourselves rather than eat out every night
Involving the kids in planning the vacation makes sure that they have a great vacation too. While I prefer to visit historical sites and museums, they love to fish and swim. So I build in some relaxation time so that the vacation works for everyone.
Each year, setting aside vacation time to spend together is especially important to us. A relaxing environment opens the doors to all kinds of conversations—deep, silly, meaningful. There’s no pressure from the usual everyday tasks.
This is the one week a year when I don’t care whether my kids cleaned their room or did the dishes. What matters that week is that everyone is having a great time.
96．The author’s family stayed in a________ on a farm for a weeklong taste of rural life.

C．we should save money for family vacations
D．we should deposit all money in the bank

B．making more money is important
C．saving more money for shopping is important
D．the author didn’t have great time when he was young
