Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening by Robert Frost
Whose woods these are I think I know.
His house is in the village though;
He will not see me stopping here
To watch his woods fill up with snow.
My little horse must think it queer
To stop without a farmhouse near
Between the woods and frozen lake
The darkest evening of the year.
He gives his harness bells a shake
To ask if there is some mistake.
The only other sound’s the sweep
Of easy wind and downy flake.
The woods are lovely, dark, and deep.
But I have promises to keep,
And miles to go before I sleep,
And miles to go before I sleep.

Most of us cannot imagine modern life without social media(社交媒体). We use it almost every day in order to keep up with what is happening in our friends’ lives, or find out the latest information. Although it has a bad influence if we don’t use it properly, social media has done more good than harm.
The greatest advantage is that we can connect with people much more easily. We are still able to keep in touch with our friends if they are far away. With social media, friendship goes beyond geography. We are able to find friends old and new. Also, it makes it easier for us to make friends, especially for those who are afraid of making friends face to face. Are you shy? If yes, social media has probably helped.
Social media is also ideal for making yourself heard. Anyone with a voice can express it. Anyone with a talent is free to show it. Everyone is the new content creator. Moreover, anyone with a smartphone and the Internet can be a reporter. As a result, it has become much faster to cover the news than ever before.
Social media, on the other hand, can make us less confident sometimes. A 2021 study published by the Public Library of Science, found that the more a person uses social media, the sadder he feels about his own life. One reason for this is that people around us put colourful information and perfect pictures online in order to show off their best moment. So we often get a distorted sense of how wonderful their lives are compared to our own.
Social media does not cause sadness; it simply provides another tool for us to use. Is it good or bad? Nobel Peace Prize winner Malala Yousafzai says, “What is interesting is the power and influence of social media ... We must try to use social media in a good way.” After all, you decide how you use this powerful tool.
32．What is the greatest advantage of social media according to the passage?
A．Expressing our voices freely. B．Showing our talents to others.
C．Recording the best side of our life. D．Connecting with people more easily.
33．What does the word “distorted” probably mean in Paragraph 4?
A．clear B．different C．incorrect D．simple
34．Which picture shows the structure(结构) of the passage? (①=Paragraph 1, ...)
A． B． C． D．
35．Which of the following can be the best title of the passage?
A．Social Media: Our Friend Or Enemy? B．Social Media: To Use Or Not To Use?
C．Social Media: Connecting The World D．Social Media: Making Yourself Heard
D
Gossip is the information passed from one person to another about other people’s lives. You may think gossip is awful. Even dictionary suggests that it is often unkind or untrue, but this common idea is unreasonable.
Firstly, a study by Robbins and Karan shows that gossip is common but much of it is just people sharing information. For their study, 467 people’s conversations were recorded. Robbins and Karan found that, on average, these people gossiped for 52 minutes a day, with 75% of the time spent communicating non-evaluative (非评价性的) information. Only about 14 % of the gossip was thought malicious, a much smaller percentage (百分比) than the common idea suggests, although to be fair, that was almost double the percentage of positive (积极的) gossip.
Scientists consider gossip to be an important reason why people in the old times were able to stay alive. It helped spread important news, it also provided information about who was trustworthy and who might not work well with others in a group. It allowed humans to build small communities with those who could be trusted, ensuring a greater chance of living. Today, it seems that not much has changed. Gossip still allows us to develop relationships and find out who we can work with best. Gossip also explains the rules of our society. When we hear someone criticize a person’s behaviour, it is obvious that such behaviour is unacceptable and should not be copied. That’s not to say we should pay attention to everything we hear, but it gives us direction.
Of course, these days, our world is changing the nature of gossip. Our networks are now larger, and some gossip can spread like wildfire. And problems come up when gossip includes untrue information. This kind of gossip can destroy people’s lives.
So scientists say that it’s important to share information that can’t hurt others. If we fail to do this, people will see us as someone who can’t be trusted and may even avoid us. Similarly, gossiping to improve one’s own place in society is unacceptable. It’s best to share information that may act as a warning to others or encourage them to behave better. It’s these things that normally push people together rather than make them turn away from each other.
36．The word “malicious” in Paragraph 2 probably means “________”.
A．important B．harmful C．meaningful D．interesting
37．What’s probably the percentage of positive gossip in Robbins and Karan’s study？
A．75%. B．25%. C．8%. D．14%.
38．What can we learn from Paragraph 3?
A．People who gossip a lot in a group are always welcome.
B．People who like gossiping can work well together in a group.
C．Gossip helps people build relationships today as well as in the past.
D．In the past, people who liked gossiping were untrustworthy.
39．The writer probably agrees that ________.
A．gossiping is commonly thought kind and true
B．gossiping to move up in society should be avoided
C．gossip as a warning may destroy people’s lives
D．we shouldn’t stay close to people who like gossiping
40．What is the writer’s main purpose in writing this passage?
A．To discuss the positive effect of gossiping.
B．To tell people the reason why gossip is common.
C．To remind people of the problems of gossiping.
D．To guide people to be responsible for gossiping.
B)阅读短文，从短文后A至F六个选项中选出五个可以填入空白处的最佳选项。
The Silk Road is the name of a group of trade routes(路线). It runs across Central Asia. For centuries, it has been the bridge between the West and the East.
The Silk Road was used about 2,000 years ago. 41 A German geographer created the name in 1877 because Chinese silk used to be carried and traded along this road.
The Silk Road was more than 4,600 miles long. At the time, people did not have cars. 42 It will take more than three and a half days to drive today. Think about how long it will take to walk!
It’s said that the Roman first saw silk in 53 BCE(公元前). They learned that silk came from China, in the East. 43 They thought silk came from trees. They were wrong. Silk does not come from trees. Silk is made from the cocoon (蚕茧) of silk worms.
The Romans took samples(样品) of the silk back home. The silk was soft and pretty. 44 Traders began to carry silk along the roads so that people in the West could buy silk.
45 Gold, silver and glass from Europe were found in the Middle East and Asia. Goods were also brought along the Silk Road into China. Some of them were new to Chinese people, including curtains, blankets and exotic(奇异的) fruits like watermelons and peaches.
A．But they didn’t know how silk was made.
B．It soon became very popular in Rome.
C．They had to walk or ride horses or camels.
D．The Silk Road was important to both China and the rest of the world.
E．However, it was named the “Silk Road” not very long ago.
F．Silk wasn’t the only thing that was traded along the Silk Road.
