文章大意:这是一篇说明文。主要介绍了虚拟技术的应用对人的内心世界反应。

2 . You can tell a lot about people’s general state of mind based on their social media feeds. Are they always tweeting(发微博)about their biggest annoyances or posting pictures of particularly cute kitties? In a similar fashion, researchers are turning to Twitter for clues about the overall happiness of entire geographic communities.

What they’re finding is that regional variation in the use of common phrases produces predictions that don’t always reflect the local state of well being. But removing from their analyses just three specific terms -- good, love and LOL - greatly improves the accuracy of the methods.

“We’re living in a crazy COVID-19 era. And now more than ever, we’re using social media to adapt to a new normal and reach out to the friends and family that we can’t meet face-to-face.” Kokil Jaidka studies computational linguistics at the National University of Singapore. “But our words aren’t useful just to understand what we, as individuals, think and feel. They’re also useful clues about the community we live in.”

One of the simpler methods that many scientists use to analyze the data involves correlating words with positive or negative emotions. But when those records are compared with phone surveys that assess regional well-being, Jaidka says, they don’t paint an accurate picture of the local zeitgeist(时代精神).

Being able to get an accurate read on the mood of the population is no laughing matter. “That’s particularly important now, in the time of COVID, where we’re expecting a mental health crisis and we’re already seeing in survey data the largest decrease in subjective well-being in 10 years at least, if not ever.”

To find out why , Jaidka and her team analyzed billions of tweets from around the United States. And they found that among the most frequently used terms on Twitter are LOL, love and good. And they actually throw the analysis off. Why the disconnect?

“Internet language is really a different beast than regular spoken language. We’ve adapted words from the English vocabulary to mean different things in different situations.” says Jaidka. “Take, for example, LOL. I’ve tweeted the word LOL to express irony, annoyance and sometimes just pure surprise. When the methods for measuring LOL as a marker of happiness were created in the 1990s, it still meant laughing out loud.”

“There are plenty of terms that are less misleading,” says Jaidka. “Our models tell us that words like excited, fun, great, opportunity, interesting, fantastic and those are better words for measuring subjective well-being.”

1. The researchers turn to social media feeds to ________.
A.help with the analysis of people’s subjective well-being
B.integrate into a mainstreamed lifestyle more quickly
C.prove the disconnect between language and emotions
D.collect specific terms associated with specific zeitgeist.
2. How did Jaidka know the analysis wasn’t accurate?
A.It didn’t reflect the mood of the entire geographic community
B.It didn’t match the assessment result of the phone surveys.
C.It didn’t consider the features of Internet language.
D.It didn’t take the regional variations into account.
3. Which of the following statements will Jaidka most probably agree with?
A.Face-to-face communication is never replaced to ensure happiness.
B.Internet use is to blame for the decrease in subjective well-being.
C.Internet language should be originally used as a source of scientific analysis.
D.Less misleading words should be used in assessing subjective well-being.
4. Which of the following can be the best title of the passage?
A.Internet Shock Need A BreakB.Underlying LOL Never Fade Away
C.Virtual Mirror Of Era BeingD.Gulf Between Old And New

3 . The Bad of Online Communication

Today, online services and products are where most development in communication is happening.     1    However, giving online also has a dark side. Some people spend so much time on the Internet that they become totally dependent on it. Psychologists and social scientists worry that if people spend more time with computers than with other people,     2     What happens if Internet addicts forget the rules for normal social behaviour simply from lack of practice? Studies have not shown any definite results yet, but if young people are becoming more nervous when it comes to face-to-face meetings, there are good reasons to be concerned.

Apart from dependency, there are other objections and worries about the Internet.     3     Being open and honest with complete strangers, then arranging to meet them is very dangerous behaviour. It is especially dangerous for young children. And it is increasingly important that parents take note of their children's activities on the Internet.

    4    . As you reveal (透漏) your heart and soul, and name and number,to some trusted chat room friend, there could easily be a hacker taking your information. Some hackers could even be using your identity and password.       5     . Many people say that going online, whether for chatting or surfing the web , has improved their lives. Either way, for better or for worse, website chat rooms are here to stay in one form or another, putting in touch friends, family, and strangers alike.

A.Actually, going online has good points.
B.Why do many think going online is worth trying?
C.Then there is the problem of information being stolen.
D.they will forget how to get on with people face to face.
E.there are rules of polite behavior in face-to-face meetings.
F.Not all people seeking relationships online have innocent intentions.
G.With all these dangers, is going online to communicate really worthwhile?

文章大意:本文是说明文。文章主要是在向读者介绍Just Scream这条热线。

4 . Just Scream! a hotline which was created by elementary school teacher whose name is Chris Gollmar aimed to reduce tension for those who need an outlet. All you had to do was call the hotline and scream as loud as you wanted.

Chris Gollmar spends his free time working on art projects that invite people to call a phone number and leave a voicemail for other people to hear. He thought that it would be funny and unique to create a phone line just for screaming,and thus he came up with the creative project in September, 2020.

After people dialed in, their calls would be recorded and then put on the website that Chris Gollmar created. “Why should 1 call you?” the website asked “To scream! You might be unhappy, terrified or frustrated. All of these are perfectly good reasons to call the hotline and scream.”

Personal phone numbers were not stored, and all calls went to an answering machine — interacting with a real person wasn’t required.

Chris Gollmar got a large number of recordings after he launched the hotline. “Never in my life would I have expected so many people to actually pick up the phone, dial a number and record themselves for the world to hear,” he said. ‘‘But we’re all screaming on the inside right now. The hotline stopped accepting calls in January, 2021. After that, Chris Gollmar said he would pick a new project to work on."

1. Chris Gollmar invented the hotline with the purpose of________.
A.responding to people’s demandsB.relieving people from pressure
C.creating a way of communicationD.helping deal with conflicts
2. From the passage, we can infer that Chris Gollmar’s hotline was________       .
A.bannedB.popularC.negativeD.common
3. Compared to other common hotlines, how was Just Scream! special?
A.How the incoming calls were answered.B.Where the incoming calls were stored.
C.The time when people could get through.D.The way of dealing with the records.
4. What’s the author’s intention in writing this passage?
A.To share his or her opinion on Chris Gollmar.
B.To arouse readers’ interest in new technology.
C.To give some information on Just Scream.
D.To show how Just Scream! came into being.

5 . 阅读下面短文,在空白处填入1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式

What would you do if the Internet suddenly disappeared? A recent survey has shown that     1     number of people in the United Kingdom who do not want to use the Internet has risen. These people, who     2     (know) as “net refuseniks”,make up 44% of UK households, or 11.2 million people in number.

The research also showed that more than 70 percent of these people said that they were not     3     (interest) in getting connected to the Internet. This number has risen     4     just over 50% in 2005 to the present 70% , with most lacking in many computer     5     (skill) as a reason for not using the Internet, though some also said it was because of the cost.

More and more people are getting broadband(宽带) and high speed net     6     (be) almost everywhere in the UK, but there are still a lot of people who refuse     7     (take) the first step.

With the cost of getting online going down and internet speeds increasing, many net refuseniks begin to reconsider the     8     (connect) of the Internet. This would encourage them to get connected before they are left too far behind. If the gap(落差) between those     9     use the Internet and those don’t continues to widen, those without broadband will get left behind and miss many chances,     10     (especial) in their work.

6 . A 2020 study by Balbix found that 99% of the people surveyed reused their passwords between work accounts or between work and personal accounts.     1    

For example, a 2019 study by Google found that 59% of the people they surveyed used a name or a birthday in their password. And 24% admitted using a password like one of these below: 1234, 12345, 123456, etc.     2     Since both personal and work accounts are accessible from the same device with the same password, it simplifies the work a bad actor has to do in order to breach (攻入) your systems.

    3     The NIST (National Institute of Standards and Technology) Password Guidelines are widely regarded as the international standard for password best practices. Following these guidelines—and insisting your employees do the same—will help protect you against threats from weak or stolen passwords. Password managers can simplify the work required for your employees to follow these guidelines.

It's more secure to require your employees to use more than one authentication (身份验证) factor to access mobile company applications.     4     They'd need to check on their identity with additional authentication factors in order to log in.

Finally, you can also perform passwordless authentication.     5     For example, in the event that a mobile device is stolen or accessed illegally, requiring a facial scan (扫描) or a finger scan as a primary or secondary authentication factor could still prevent unauthorized access.

A.Passwords are commonly shared in the workplace.
B.It will help you to root out password risks altogether.
C.Many employees still create weak and simple passwords.
D.These bad password habits present a threat to organizations.
E.That helps reduce the risk that a bad actor gains access to your systems.
F.Unfortunately, the passwords that employees are reusing are often weak.
G.However, that's not to say there is no way to reduce or uproot password threats.

7 . In so many ways, cyberspace (网络空间) mirrors the real world. People ask for information, play games, and share hobby tips. Others buy and sell products. Still others look for friendship, or even love.

Unlike the real world, however, your knowledge about a person is limited to words on a computer screen. Identity (身份) and appearance mean very little in cyberspace. Rather, a person’s thoughts—or at least the thoughts they type—are what really count. So even the shyest person can become a chat-room star.

Usually, this “faceless” communication doesn’t create problems. Identity doesn’t really matter when you’re in a chat room discussing politics or hobbies. In fact, this stress on the ideas themselves makes the Internet a great place for exciting conversation. Where else can so many people come together to chat?

But some Internet users want more than just someone to chat with. They’re looking for serious love relationships. Is cyberspace a good place to find love? That answer depends on whom you ask. Some of these relationships actually succeed. Others fail.

Supporters say that the Internet allows couples lo gel lo know each other intellectually (智力地) first. Personal appearance doesn’t get in the way. Bill others argue that no one can truly know another person in cyberspace. Why? Because the Internet gives users a lot of control over how others view them. Internet users can carefully change their words to fit whatever image (形象) they want to give. In a sense, they’re not really themselves.

All of this may be fine if the relationship stays in cyberspace. But not knowing a person is a big problem in a love relationship. With so many unknowns, it’s easy to let one’s imagination “fill in the blanks.” This unavoidably leads to disappointment when couples meet in person. How someone imagines an online friend is often quite different than the real person.

So, before looking for love in cyberspace, remember the advice of Clifford Stoll: “Life in the real world is far richer than anything you’ll find on a computer screen.”

1. Which of the following is not true according to the passage?
A.It is possible that people can’t find true love online.
B.Appearance and identity is of little importance for relationship online.
C.A shy person will surely become talkative online.
D.Internet users are encouraged to create images in cyberspace.
2. What’s the main idea of Paragraph 5?
A.Cyberspace mirrors the real world.
B.Don’t judge a book by its cover.
C.Inner beauty is more important than appearance.
D.Things are not always what they seem.
3. What does “this” in Paragraph 6 refer to?
A.The online friend.B.One’s imagination.
C.Love relationship.D.The real friend.
4. What is the author’s attitude towards looking for love cyberspace?
A.He is against it.B.He supports it.
C.He cares little about it.D.He is interested in it.

8 . Decision hard

From the moment we wake up each day, we’re faced with a continuous stream of choices.    1    , when there are too many options. This is decision fatigue (疲劳), a state of mental overload that can impede (妨碍) our ability to make additional decisions.

When decision fatigue kicks in, you may feel like you just don’t have the mental bandwidth to deal with more decisions.     2    . As a result, you avoid making certain choices entirely, go with the default option or make ones that aren’t in line with your goals or values, experts say.

Here’s how to minimize or manage this phenomenon:

    3    . Some easy ways to do this: When you go grocery shopping, use a master list that has the same staples, and buy the same brands each time.    4    . And if you’re trying to exercise regularly, devote a consistent amount of time for it every day.

Tune into how you’re feeling. Be watchful of signs of decision fatigue and act accordingly: If you’ve had a demanding day that was filled with lots of decisions, put off making another one if you can. If things that wouldn’t normally upset you start bothering you, consider that a sign that you may not be in the best state of mind to make a major decision. “People may not realize that they’re experiencing decision fatigue,” Baumeister, a professor of psychology at the University of Queensland in Australia, says. “    5    .”

A.Make some choices automatic
B.It’s something to watch out for
C.They should turn to the experts for advice
D.Put down what you have in hand and take a break from them
E.This can lead to decisional disfunction or decreased self-control
F.If you like having oatmeal for breakfast, stick with it on a daily basis
G.We tend to feel overwhelmed, anxious, stressed or otherwise out of sorts

9 . With the development of our society, cellphones have become a common part in our lives. Have you ever run into a careless cellphone user in the street? Maybe they were busy talking, texting or checking updates on WeChat without looking at what was going on around them. As the number of this new "species" of human has kept rising, they have been given a new name—phubbers (低头族).

Recently a cartoon created by students from China Central Academy of Fine Arts put this group of people under the spotlight. In the short film, phubbers with various social identities bury themselves in their phones. A doctor plays with his cellphone while letting his patient die. A pretty woman takes a selfie (自拍) in front of a car accident site. And a father loses his child without knowing about it while using his mobile phone. A chain of similar events will finally lead to the destruction(毁灭) of the world.

Although the ending of the film sounds unrealistic, the damage phubbing can bring is real. Your health is the first to bear the effect and the result of it. "Always bending your head to check your cellphone could damage your neck," Guangming Daily quoted doctors' words. "The neck is like a rope that breaks after long-term stretching." Also, staring at cellphones for a long time will damage your eyesight gradually, according to the report.

But that's not all. Being a phubber could also damage your social skills and drive you away from your friends and family. When getting together with family or friends, many people prefer to play their cellphones while others are chatting happily with each other and this creates a strange atmosphere, Qilu Evening News reported.

It can also cost your life. There have been lots of reports on phubbers who fell to their death, suffered accidents, and were robbed of their cellphones in broad daylight.

1. Why does the author give the example of a cartoon in Paragraph 2?
A.To suggest phubbers will destroy the world.
B.To call for people to go walking without phones.
C.To tell people the bad effects of phubbing.
D.To advise students to create more cartoons like this.
2. According to the passage, what risks may a phubber have?
① Destructing the world.
② Affecting his social skills.
③ Damaging his neck and eyesight.
④ Getting separated from his friends and family.
A.①②④B.②③④C.①③④D.①②③④
3. What's the author's attitude towards phubbing?
A.Supportive.B.Confident.C.Disapproving.D.Unconcerned.
4. What will be talked about in the following paragraph?
A.Ways to avoid the risks of phubbing.B.Bad effects of phubbing.
C.Daily life of phubbers.D.Behaviours of phubbers.

10 . We know that China is the largest and fastest-growing consumer market in the world. What is less well understood are the forces that shape consumerism in the world’s most populous country. In my view, there are some social and cultural aspects at play that drive consumer spending.

Consumerism is related to freedom. To have a choice means to have consumer choice. You are what you consume. Consumption is an expression of self. It allows you to explore the world through its products, to experiment with lifestyle choices, and to do so safely and anonymously(匿名). You might never get to France, but you can try French wine. California might be far, but you can go to Shanghai Disneyland. Indeed, the enthusiasm for choice is reflected in the enthusiasm Chinese consumers have for online shopping.

Consumerism is a statement of success. American economist Thorstein Veblen popularized the concept of “conspicuous consumption”. When consumption is no longer driven only by need, it becomes a way of making a statement that you have disposable(可自由支配的)income and you can ---at least in certain respects---enjoy life on your terms. Simple pleasures---a pair of shoes, a smartphone, designer clothing --- become statements of personal identity.

The collective experience is focused. We like participating in group events. FOMO, the Fear of Missing Out, goes beyond cultures. But I suspect this trend is stronger in China than in the West because Confucian culture does not celebrate outsiders as the West’s culture does. Social media reinforce(强化)this collective pattern so that shopping and dining are shared experiences. Opinions are crowd-sourced. And the merchants reinforce this pattern by supporting holiday sales, group buying, and other promotions.

Successful brands in China are able to handle most or all of the above considerations. The consumer must not only be delighted with your product. The journey of the consumer must also respect these socio-cultural aspects.

1. What’s mainly talked about in the passage?
A.Chinese are growing wealthier.
B.China’s fast-growing market economy.
C.Chinese socio-cultural influences on consumerism.
D.Chinese consumers’ preference for quality rather than quantity.
2. What does Paragraph 2 focus on ?
A.Shopping online is a new experience.
B.Consumption can be a reflection of freedom.
C.Foreign products can be purchased in China.
D.Shopping around the world is a favorable choice.
3. What do the underlined words “conspicuous consumption” in Paragraph 3 mean?
A.The ability to cover one’s real need in daily life.
B.Spending money in order to keep up with others.
C.The purchase of expensive items to display status.
D.Buying plenty of goods and delivering them to others.
4. Why does the author suspect FOMO is stronger in China?
A.Social media play a bigger role in their lives.
B.Following the trend is what people like better.
C.Chinese people have less contact with the strangers.
D.Confucian culture is less likely to appreciate outsiders.
