1 . 请阅读下面短文，从每小题所给的A、B、C三个选项中，选出一个最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。
Years ago, if a teenager had some problems in his life, he might write them in his diary. Now a teenager might surf the Internet and write them in his blog (博客). In some ways, a diary and a blog are the same. What makes a blog different from a diary?
The biggest difference is that a blog is much more public (公开的) than a diary. I have a younger sister, and sometimes I read her blog. She writes about things like getting up early for swimming practice and not studying enough for her chemistry exam. When I was her age, I wrote the same things, but only in my diary. After I finished writing, I would put my diary in a secret place because I was worried that someone else might read it.
A blog is public so it has some bad points (特点). The biggest problem is that anyone can read what you write. If I am angry with a friend at school and write something bad about him in my diary, he will never know. However, if my sister writes something bad about a friend, her friend may read her blog and cry. So we must be very careful about what to write.
Blogs have good points, of course. If I feel lonely and write “Nobody cares about me.” in my diary, no one will know about it. However, if my sister writes the same words in her blog, her friends will quickly reply and tell her how much they like her. A blog helps people keep in contact (联系) with their friends.
If people are careful, writing blogs is really a good way to communicate with others. However, I still enjoy my diary!

| B．In some ways, a diary is the same as a blog. |
| C．Keeping diaries help us to keep in touch with our friends. |

2 . Now, more and more information is shared by videos. Businessmen also take this chance to develop business. But choosing short videos or long videos is a question for them.
Some people think short videos can’t be better. Firstly, short videos can be made with less information in less time. Secondly, most people prefer short videos because short videos are easy to reach and understand. Finally, many apps support short video sharing. So it is easy to find an app to share a short video with others.
However, not all the people like short videos. They think if the time of a video is short, it will fail to pass on useful things. Besides, a short video cannot leave a deep impression (印象) on people, because it is too short to remember what it says.
Compared with short videos, long videos can give people a deep understanding with more information and longer time. At first, people will find shorter ones interesting, but they will be tired of these useless things quickly. Only the valuable things can make people spend more time and have longer interests.
In my opinion, both short videos and long ones have their own advantages and disadvantages. Video-makers can make use of them according to their own features (特点). For example, to create emotional (情感) experiences that people will remember and build a business brand, long videos will be a nice choice. To tell a story about your business or give suggestions on how to deal with a problem, the short ones will be better.
1. What is the purpose of the first paragraph?| A．To tell us a chance to develop business. | B．To show the popularity of videos. |
| C．To raise a question about videos. | D．To ask readers how to make videos. |
| A．Some people enjoy short videos. |

| D．A few people believe short videos are much worse. |
| A．How to choose video types depends on different needs. |
| B．It’s better to choose a short video to give advice. |
| C．It’s better to build a business brand with a long video. |

Kuakuaqun is social media chat groups that people pay a little money to join and are paid to show kindness, support and comfort to others in the group. The new chat groups have become popular with young people.
According to media reports, the first such online praise group was formed by a few users of Douban, one of the major online social networks, for fun. However, the idea has caught on and praise-seeking chat groups have become popular among college students across the country.
It was hard to understand Kuakuaqun at first. What kind of value do kinds words have if I am paying someone to say them? Lin Yingying from Quanzhou described the groups as “a joke”, but also offered some insight (见解).
“We rarely hear nice things in real life,” Lin said, “maybe we are not good at telling people ... that we are not feeling well ...” She thinks it is easier for people to share their problems online.
Kuakuaqun doesn’t only exist in China. No matter where you come from, it is common to hear someone say, “You are not good enough.” There is a certain beauty in giving encouragement to others. Perhaps that is why so many young people have joined the groups.
A reporter from Russia Today wrote about a post in which someone admitted that they woke up at 2 p.m. one day. One user replied, “You must care about your health very much as you sleep for so long, praise you!” That praise sounds hollow, but the humor doesn’t. Maybe that is the real value. A good joke can brighten anybody’s day.
Experts have said that the popularity of Kuakuaqun reflects the users’ stressful, anxious and lonely mentalities (心态). It creates a positive and friendly environment for people that may help them get confidence again.

Nowadays, most of our lives are saved online. We set up email and online shopping accounts (账号); we download (下载) music, movies, games and e-books; we share things on Weibo and WeChat. Together, these things make up our “digital legacy (数字遗产)”.
US Company Apple is testing a new digital legacy service. With it, you can pass on your personal data (数据) such as photos, videos, notes and other things to your friends or family members. In fact, there are two kinds of digital legacy. One is things that we buy with money.
But some people have different ideas. A Chinese girl Gao Yixin said that, “As a member of the online world, I would like to leave my digital legacy behind. For me, death is not the end, being forgotten is.
| A．What can we do with our legacy when our last day comes? |

5 . Do you know mukbang? It is about the eating shows in front of the camera on the Internet. In the shows, mukbangers eat food and sometimes talk to people who watch their videos.

Now, many people criticize such shows. Food waste is a serious problem around the world, and there are lots of people who still don’t have enough food to eat. Our country does a lot of things to solve the problem and asks short video platforms (平台), such as Tiktok and Kuaishou, to take action.

8 . “Chinese brands (品牌) are much better now and they can make the best things in the world, but few people know about them,” said Xu Yajun, the maker of the popular short videos (抖音) —Made in China.
Xu, 30 years old, was born in Henan. At a young age, he moved to Guangdong with his parents. In 2016, Xu left his well-paid job. Then he started making videos about clothes. It was not a new thing for him. He worked in a clothes factory for four years after middle school.
At the beginning, he mainly talked about the quality (质量) of different Chinese clothes brands in his videos. Soon he found many people didn’t know about the stories behind these clothes brands. In late 2017, he traveled to Hangzhou to make a video of some clothes brands’ factories and workers. The video first appeared on the Internet in January 2018. It also became the first video of Made in China.
In the past three years, Xu has visited over 20 factories across China to make videos. With only three people in his team, they did their best to make good Chinese brands known. For example, after watching his video about snow shoes from a village in Henan, many foreigners came to the village to buy shoes.
“I hope our videos can help both Chinese brands and buyers.” said Xu. If buyers know brands and quality better, they can know more clearly what is good and what is bad. “I believe people will know more about Chinese brands.”

10 . Nowadays, being famous and successful is changing quickly. Social media has become a new way for young people to become known as online influencers (网红). A recent survey showed that children would rather be online influencers than astronauts.
But is being an online influencer a good job? The lifestyles we see on social medias seem enticing, but under the shining appearance lie problems like not having a certain pay, the control of algorithms (算法), physical and mental health problems. Let’s take a deeper look into it.
Successful influencers may tell you that anyone can succeed in this industry. However, an expert says “There’s a huge income gap between successful influencers and everyone else. For most people who want to become an influencer, the creative work they love to do usually ends up being unpaid work for companies.”
________ Influencers are often controlled by computer programs called algorithms. They decide which post is shown to users and in what order. Social media platforms (平台) don’t share much information about these algorithms, but they are the one to decide who and what becomes popular on social media. This lasting fear of not being seen makes influencers feel uncertain. They are always under pressure to create new content for these platforms. If they don’t, the algorithm might “punish” them by hiding their posts or making them less visible in search results.
Always being online is a big problem for influencers because it can cause mental health problems. They have to work and talk to their fans at any time of a day or night. In addition, they are scared of being judged online, which leads to mental and physical health.
Even though being an influencer seems attractive to many people, the challenges and downsides of the job are usually hidden and not easy to see to the outside world.
1. What does the underlined word “enticing” in Paragraph 2 mean?| A．Challenging. | B．Similar. | C．Amazing. | D．Traditional. |
| A．As we know, there are other possible huge risks for being an influencer online. |
| B．Also, the power of algorithms is strong enough to shape influencers’ popularity. |
| C．Without doubt, algorithms is a powerful technology to lead us into the future. |
| D．Influencers are surely more creative and better at many things than algorithms. |
| A．Most of the influencers have sleep problems in their lives. |
| B．Children are not encouraged to be influencers by the writer. |
| C．Social media platforms go out of their way to help influencers. |
| D．Successful influencers think it’s easy to succeed in this industry. |
| A．serious | B．happy | C．surprising | D．funny |
