A
Sharon, Aged 22
The most important thing to keep in mind when going into high school is to be yourself. Besides, I don’t know what your middle school was like, but high school teachers will not care about things such as how much homework you already have in one night. It’s best to just learn to deal with things and manage your time wisely so you can achieve everything you need to.
Frank, Aged 21
I think almost every kid feels both nervous and excited before their first day. You will
probably love it. I know I did. You should join some sports or activities that will make your high school experience more enjoyable. Good luck!
Eddie, Aged 20
When I started high school I was really nervous too, especially since I had been homeschooled
all through middle school and didn’t really know anyone. I suppose the best advice would be to just relax. The first couple of days can be a little bit hard, but things will become easier before you know it.
David, Aged 19
I’m not going to lie. The first day is kind of frightening. But you’ll get used to it. Don’t be afraid of anyone; upperclassmen will pick on you more if you let them know you’re afraid. Just take it easy. Making some friends and staying with them will greatly help you get used to high school quickly. After the first week it’s really not bad at all. Don’t worry.
21.What can we infer from Sharon about high school
Teachers are quite strict.
Students often stay up at night.
Teachers provide little care for students.
Students should make good use of their time.
22.How did Eddie feel on his first day of high school
A. Excited. B. Bored. C. Worried. D. Relaxed.
23.Who mentions the importance of friends
A. Frank. B. David. C. Sharon. D. Eddie.
B
When I was in middle school, I was on a family vacation in Washington DC. I found there was a homeless man down the street.
On our final day in the city, when my parents went for an evening walk, I went out of our hotel room and ran down the street to the homeless man.
He looked at me, surely not expecting anything from a middle school girl. I asked him what he wanted to have for dinner. He replied "Bread and water". I ran into the store and bought a big bag of bread and a bottle of water. I ran back with a smile on my face and handed the bag and the bottle to him. His smile has been in my mind ever since.
I came back to the hotel room and when my parents returned, my dad told me he had a story for me. He asked if I remembered the homeless man down the street from our hotel and I shyly nodded. He then told me a story. As they were returning from their walk, they saw the homeless man was sharing a bag full of food with other homeless people around. They were all smiling and laughing as they ate.
I smiled at my dad but I have never told him to this day the other half of the story. Till today, I still haven't forgotten that man's smile but I wish I had the courage to do this more often. One small kind action can begin a ripple effect(连锁反应)of kindness. So please，share a smile and do something kind for the people in need.
24. Why did the author go to Washington DC
A. To visit her parents. B. To go on a vacation.
C. To do some shopping. D. To meet with friends.
25. When the author went to see the homeless man, her parents ________________
A. were having a walk B. were staying in the hotel
C. had gone back home D. were in a food store
26. It can be inferred from the passage that_________________
A. homeless men usually live a happy life B. the author's father was proud of her
C. the author kept a secret to her parents D. the author was paid back by the homeless man
27. The story inspires the readers to _______
A. help those in need B. seek for their dreams
C. value what they have D. face difficulties bravely
C
Livestreaming (直播) through channels such as Amazon Live and QVC is an increasingly popular way to sell goods online. It usually lasts between 5 and 10 minutes, and someone promotes a product. Viewers can then readily buy it by clicking on a link.
We analyzed (分析) 99451 sales cases on a livestream selling platform and matched them with
actual sales cases. In terms of time, that is equal to over 2 million 30-second television advertisements.
To determine the emotional (情绪的) expression of the salesperson, we used two deep learning
models: a face model and an emotion model. The face model discovers the presence or absence of a face in a frame of a video stream. The emotion model then determines the probability that a face is exhibiting any of the six basic human emotions: happiness, sadness, surprise, anger, fear or disgust. For example, smiling signals a high probability of happiness, while an off-putting expression usually points toward anger.
We wanted to see the effect of emotions expressed at different times in the sales cases so we
counted probabilities for each emotion for all 62 million frames in our database. We then combined these probabilities with other possible aspects that might drive sales — such as price and product characteristics — to judge the effect of emotion.
We found that, perhaps unsurprisingly, when salespeople show more negative emotions —
such as anger and disgust — the volume of sales went down. But we also found that a similar thing happened when the salespeople show high levels of positive emotions, such as happiness or surprise.
A likely explanation, based on our research, is that smiling can be disgusting because it lacks
true feelings and can reduce trust in the seller. A seller’s happiness may be taken as a sign that the seller is gaining interests at the customer’s expense.
28.What can we know about the livestreaming to sell goods online
It challenges the physical economy.
It helps big company sell all goods.
It is very convenient for the buyers.
It helps the sellers develop fixed expressions.
29.What does the underlined word “off-putting” mean in paragraph 3
A. Unhappy. B. Embarrassed. C. Surprised. D. Shy.
30.How do customers feel about the seller’s smiling
A. They feel thankful. B. They feel happy.
C. They feel cheated. D. They feel so tired.
31.Which of the following could be the best title for the text
Livestreamers Sell Products Successfully
Smiling Can Increase the Sales in Reality
Emotions and Faces: What’s the Difference
Expressions Affect Selling Products Online
D
You’ve heard that plastic is polluting the oceans — between 4.8 and 12.7 million tons enter ocean ecosystems every year. But does one plastic straw (吸管) or cup really make a difference Artist Benjamin Von Wong wants you to know that it does. He builds massive sculptures out of plastic garbage, forcing viewers to re-examine their relationship to single-use plastic products.
At the beginning of the year, the artist built a piece called “Strawpocalypse,” a pair of 10-foot-tall plastic waves, frozen mid-crash. Made of 168,000 plastic straws collected from several volunteer beach cleanups, the sculpture made its first appearance at the Estella Place shopping center in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam.
Just 9% of global plastic waste is recycled. Plastic straws are by no means the biggest source of plastic pollution, but they’ve recently come under fire because most people don’t need them to drink with and, because of their small size and weight, they cannot be recycled. Every straw that’s part of Von Wong’s artwork likely came from a drink that someone used for only a few minutes. Once the drink is gone, the straw will take centuries to disappear.
In a piece from 2018, Von Wong wanted to illustrate a specific statistic: Every 60 seconds, a truckload’s worth of plastic enters the ocean. For this work, titled “Truckload of Plastic,” Von Wong and a group of volunteers collected more than 10,000 pieces of plastic, which were then tied together to look like they’d been dumped (倾倒) from a truck all at once.
Von Wong hopes that his work will also help pressure big companies to reduce their plastic footprint.
32．What are Von Wong’s artworks intended for
A．Beautifying the city he lives in. B．Introducing eco-friendly products.
C．Calling for environment protection. D．Reducing garbage on the beach.
33．Why does the author discuss plastic straws in Paragraph 3
A．To show the difficulty of their recycling. B．To explain why they are useful.
C．To voice his views on modern art. D．To find a replacement for them.
34．What effect would “Truckload of Plastic” have on viewers
A．Calming. B．Disturbing. C．Relaxing. D．Challenging.
35．What does the text mainly focus on
A．Artists’ opinions on plastic safety.
B．Media interest in contemporary art.
C．Artworks of transformed plastic waste.
D．Responsibility demanded of big companies.

“That’s nothing. I’ll treat you today,” said the man “Come in.” The seller brought her a bowl of noodles, the smell so attractive.
