I’m a grandma in my 60s. In the spring of 2020, like the rest of the world, I spent a lot of time staring at a
screen and that was when I first got into the YouTube world. I discovered that onscreen offerings were truly
endless. From one YouTuber I learned how to plant my own vegetable garden. Someone else shared poetry from
Robert Frost, wise sayings from Confucius, and a smattering (一知半解) of other philosophical viewpoints, all of
which helped me through some dark days. Down the rabbit hole I went, scrolling for hours and hours, watching
other people living their lives and giving me advice on how to live mine.
As the months rolled by, YouTube turned my attention away from the hard reality of what was going on in
the world. I subscribed to several channels and waited anxiously for new weekly offerings. I watched people
reading poetry or painting by streams or looking out windows into snowy landscapes. I found all this calming.
Such lovely scenery, such beautiful background music, such pretty clothes they were wearing!
At some point though, I got upset by these artistic and seemingly perfect lives. Who is filming them? I
wondered. Do they rehearse or just act on the spot? Isn’t it cold, stepping through snowbanks in dresses? The
questions kept bothering me while forcing comparisons to my own somewhat more ordinary existence. I wanted
to walk in a flowing dress through hilly green field filled with wildflowers! Instead, I was marching through my
neighborhood’s city streets in mom jeans.
In a moment of insight, I realized that I had a full and happy life, which although it wouldn’t win awards for
perfection onscreen, suited me perfectly. I put my phone away and started paying attention to my own life instead
of watching other people live theirs. I still like checking in once in a while. YouTube can be a rich source of
entertainment and inspiration, but I’ve limited my exposure. I am content with the knowledge that my addiction to
life onscreen has been replaced by life itself.
24. What can be learned about the author in the spring of 2020?
A. She experienced some hard times. B. She taught others about gardening.
C. She developed an interest in poetry. D. She shared her philosophical views online.
25. What effect did YouTube have on the author according to paragraph 2?
A. It made her more anxious. B. It improved her taste in art.
C. It taught her to accept reality. D. It brought some comfort to her.
26. How did the artistic lives presented on YouTube make the author feel?
A. Desperate B. Connected C. Envious D. Proud
27. What has the author decided to do in the end?
A. Seek inspiration from YouTube. B. Stop using her phone in daily life.
C. Focus on her own life instead of others’. D. Continue watching other people’s lives.

学科网（北京）股份有限公司Sending a thumbs-up(竖起拇指) can be seen as passive aggressive, according to Gen Z (those born between
1995 and 2009) who say they feel attacked whenever it is used. Whether the chat is informal between friends or
at work, the symbol appears to have a very different, ‘rude’ meaning for the younger generation.
A 24-year-old on Reddit summed up the Gen Z argument, saying it is best ‘never used in any situation’ as it
is ‘hurtful’. “No one of my age in the office does it, but the Gen X (those born between 1966 and 1980) people
always do it. Take me a bit to adjust and get it out of my head that it means they're mad at me,” he added. Other
young people agreed it is bad form, especially at work where it can make the team appear unfriendly and not
easygoing.
“My last workplace had a WhatsApp chat for our team to send information to each other on, and most of the
people on there just replied with a thumbs up. I don't know why but it seemed a little bit hostile to me,” one
woman said. One Reddit user also said the thumbs up actually means that “I’ve read your message and have
nothing to add and I hope and pray … all the people in this group chat have nothing to say on it too.”
Older workers appear confused by the reaction, saying they use the thumbs up in work-related chats to show
“I agree” or “I understood and will follow.”
Part of the issue is that young people tend to use the thumbs-up in jokes. Barry Kennedy, 24, he said he only
used it to communicate with older people like his parents or older colleagues. A survey of 2,000 people conducted
by Perspectus Global showed that a majority of people between the ages of 16 and 29 believe that you are
“officially old” if you use thumbs-up or heart emoji.
28.Which of the following point is not the Gen Z’s understanding of the emoji thumbs-up?
A. Being rude. B. Being agreeable.
C. Being hurtful. D. Being unfriendly.
29. What does the underlined word “hostile” mean in paragraph 3?
A. Unfriendly and aggressive. B. Tough and difficult.
C. Unwanted and unacceptable. D. Novel and uncommon
30. Why can’t older workers understand the young’s reaction to the thumbs-up emoji?
A. Because of their poor communication skill.
B. Because of their being old with worse memory.
C. Because of their less communicating with the young.
D. Because of their different understanding of the emoji.
31. Which is the most suitable title for the text?
A. The Thumbs-up Emoji: Rejected by the younger generation.
B. The Thumbs-up Emoji: Highly Welcomed by ‘Old People’.
C. The Thumbs-up Emoji: A Sign of Generation Gap.
D. The Thumbs-up Emoji: A Sign of Being Aggressive.

Portia Kapraun has always seen unwelcome ads on Twitter, usually from major brands pitching (竭力推销)
her expensive jewelry or vehicles that she, as a librarian in Indiana, could not afford. Ms. Kapraun was not
英语试卷 第 5 页 共 10 页
学科网（北京）股份有限公司interested. But she soon saw the ads again. And again. And again. “These feel like low-end ads,” she said. In a
shaky advertising market in an uncertain economy, ads that few people want to see suddenly seem to be
everywhere.
Advancements in digital advertising technology were meant to improve users’ experience. People interested
in shoes are intended to get ads for sneakers and boots, not repeated pitches promoting gold investments. And the
technology is supposed to remove misleading or dangerous pitches. But lately, on several platforms, the opposite
seems to be happening for a variety of reasons, including a slowdown in the overall digital ad market. As
numerous deep-pocketed marketers have pulled back, and the softer market has led several digital platforms to
lower their ad pricing, opportunities have opened up for less demanding advertisers.
Advertising experts agree that poor-quality ads appear to be increasing greatly. They point to a variety of
potential causes: internal troubles at technology companies, weak content moderation (审核), and high-level
advertisers seeking other choices. Then, there’s the economy: A recent survey of 43 multinational companies
representing more than $44 billion in advertising spending found that nearly 30 percent planned to cut back on
their marketing spending last year.
Other factors are also contributing to lower advertising quality. Social media advertising, once only practiced
by specialists, is now easily available to anyone. Many of them are avoiding targeted ads—placements intended to
reach specific audiences, usually at a higher cost—in favor of a cheaper spray-and-pray (广撒网式的) approach
online, hoping to catch the attention of gullible (容易受骗的) or bored shoppers. Major social media platforms are
now like “a mall that used to be good”, Corey Richardson, vice president at a multicultural ad company, says.
“But now there’s no longer a mall there—it’s just a calendar store and a place sling beepers (传呼机). ”
32. What message does the author want to deliver in Portia Kapraun’s story?
A. Repeated ads have a strong power of persuasion.
B. Social media users often encounter unwanted ads.
C. Major brands usually prefer social media advertising.
D. An uncertain economy leads to lower levels of consumption.
33. What can be inferred about the “less demanding advertisers” mentioned in Paragraph 2?
A. They are forced to exit the digital ad market.
B. They have benefited from advertising experts.
C. They can now advertise at a more affordable price.
D. They work hard to improve their users’ experience.
34. What is Corey Richardson’s attitude to major social media platforms?
A. Favorable. B. Hopeful C. Unclear. D. Negative.
35. Which of the following is main idea of the text?
A. Where is social media advertising heading
B. What is shaking up the online advertising market
C. Why are you seeing so many bad digital ads now

Timothy Harrison had planned to attend his high school graduation. He'd even told his manager who runs a
Waffle House (a kind of cake shop) that he would take time off. But when the day began, Harrison found himself

阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
I was moving as fast as I could, stepping cautiously from rock to rock along the uneven jetty（栈桥）. Far
ahead, I could see the back of my brother’s sandy hair and the bright orange of his shorts.
“Too slow, sister!” I heard Sam yell as he hopped with ease.
“I’ll show him,” I thought, and attempted a double jump. What a mistake! My left foot came down hard
between the edges of two gray rocks, scraping my ankle. “Ouch!” I yelled. I tried to wiggle（扭动）my foot out,
but my shoe was stuck. I bent closer to the rock and that’ s when I saw it: a shiny, square shaped stone the color of
water, attached to a glittery gold chain. It was just lying there on the wet sand, and a few seconds later it was in
英语试卷 第 9 页 共 10 页
学科网（北京）股份有限公司my pocket.
Sam squinted（眯着眼睛看）in the sun. Could he tell I was hiding the most perfect discovery of the
summer? I kept turning the treasure around in my pocket, pushing each corner of the square stone into my finger. I
was dizzy, but I didn’t want Sam to notice. He liked to tell everybody my business.
“Ryan saved the mini cola bottle from the carnival! It happened to be perfect for sand art!”
“Ryan wasted her allowance on salt and pepper shakers from the yard sale!” They were antique little pig
and cost only 50 cents.
My family calls me their “little collector”. Some mean kids at school call me “trash girl”.
Sam and I walked along the main street, the small buildings giving us a break from the sun. Through the
window of the candy shop, I could see tubes of colorful jelly beans. A sign on the window’s glass read LOST:
Gold and blue necklace. Very special. If found, call Chrissy at 555-9924.
Chrissy had drawn a crayon version of the necklace at the bottom of the poster. The necklace looked different
from the one I clutched in my pocket, I decided. Rounder, bluer. The poster appeared old and weathered. It must
have been put up months ago. We continued to walk, and I noticed four more posters. Someone must have
returned that necklace by now, I thought.
注意：
1.所续写短文的词数应为150左右;
2.续写部分分为两段，每段的开头语已为你写好。
Paragraph 1: Once home, I placed the necklace in my special spot for special things, lost in thought.
