In the space of just two years the app Douyin, created by Beijing-based company ByteDance, has gathered more than half a billion users — around 40% of them are outside China-who share short videos of themselves lip-syncing (假唱), cooking dancing or just being silly. What sets ByteDance apart is its success in the social media category, which is controlled by Facebook, Twitter and Snap — all Western companies.
ByteDance calls itself an artificial intelligence company. It uses machine learning and algorithms（演算法）to figure out what people like and give them more of what they want to see. On Douyin, people can edit and beautify 15-second videos before posting them online. The app has even spawned (引发) a phrase to describe a kind of behaviour of people glued to their customized feeds: “shua Douyin” or “scrolling through Douyin”. Last year, the company released TikTok, the overseas version of Douyin. ByteDance’s growing video empire has made it the world’s fifth biggest app maker. ByteDance says TikTok and Douyin together have more than 500 million monthly active users.
Investors（投资者）like ByteDance because its hundreds of millions of users attract a lot of advertising money. The video apps are lucrative because they attract a lot of users in their teens and 20s who are more generous with the money. ByteDance also makes money
through income sharing deals. People on TikTok, for example, can buy digital coins to give to other people on the app like throwing money in a performer’s tip jar. Byte Dance takes a cut of those earnings.
ByteDance’s founder and CEO is Zhang Yiming, a 35-year-old former Microsoft employee. People who have worked with Zhang describe him as someone who thinks deeply about technology and spends much of his free time writing code.
Like Facebook and Twitter, ByteDance is also battling fake news and inappropriate content. ByteDance promises to add more employees to review content.
24.How many overseas users does Douyin have?
A. Under 20 million.
B. About 200 million.
C. Around 400 million.
D. Over half a billion.
25. Why is ByteDance a success?
A. It has controlled Facebook, Twitter and Snap .
B. Its app challenges the Western companies’ rule.
C. It invented the social media app initially in the world.
D. It is the biggest artificial intelligence company on earth.
26. How does ByteDance mainly earn money?
A. By charging the users.
B. By the users’ donation.
C. By the advertising revenue.
D. By its artificial intelligence.
27. What is the social media apps’ common trouble?
A. How to keep their content positive
B. What to do with fierce competition.
C. Where to find much new investment.
D. When to introduce their new version.
C
In a recent green paper, the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences planned to reform the national working schedule in 2030 to nine hours a day and four days a week.
The green paper follows such logic (逻辑): As China's production rate continues rising,
it is possible to let people work less time. instead of 40 hours, in which case people can rest three days a week. If implemented, the new four-day working schedule would doubtlessly help to accumulate more social wealth and promote consumption.When people rest three days a week, they can travel for longer distances and spend more money on their trips.A glance at the past will also show the trend of fewer working hours per week. The number of working days every week has been reduced from six days to five and a half days then to five days.
However, on the social network microblog, the most common response to the report is “No, please don’t”. Why is that? The answer lies in their anxieties about an uncertain future. As capital gets increasingly accumulated ordinary workers, blue-collar workers and white-collar workers alike, face the sad and cold fact that unemployment is likely to rise. Many people face the risk of losing their jobs to artificial intelligence and automation. That’s why many people are rather worried about their future. To solve this, the key lies in promoting the idea of wrest". The right to rest and the right to labor must be protected together so that people can be more certain about their future.
In March and April this year, a New Zealand firm ran an experiment which reduced the workweek to 32 hours from 40 hours and its employees worked four days a week while being paid for five days. The experiment was so successful that it hoped to make the change permanent. In Sweden, a trial in the city of Gothenburg required a six-hour day, and officials found employees completed the same amount of work or even more. But when France required a 35-hour workweek in 2000, businesses complained of reduced competitiveness and increased hiring costs.
28. How long will the working hours be shortened by in a week for Chinese workers from 2030?
A. 4 hours.
B. 8 hours.
C. 36 hours.
D. 40 hours.
29. Which of the following best explains the word “implemented” in bold type in paragraph 2?
A. Put off.
B. Made up.
C. Carried out.
D. Turned down.
30. What is most microbloggers’ attitude to the four-day working schedule?
A. Doubtful.
B. Favorable.
C. Indifferent.
D. Opposed.
31. Which sentence can best summarize the text?
A. A glance shows the trend of fewer working hours per week.
B. Many countries intend to implement the schedule of working 4 days a week.
C. What workers will be doing in 2030 in China.
D. The 4-day workweek plan brings job loss fears to many people.
D
The longest total lunar eclipse (月全食) of the21st century takes place this Friday, July 27, 2018. The “blood moon” eclipse will last 1 hour and 43 minutes, during which Earths natural satellite will turn a deep red or reddish-brown color. From start to finish, the entire event will last nearly 4 hours. Observers in much of Africa, the Middle East, Southern Asia and the Indian Ocean region will get an eyeful of the eclipse, given cooperative weather.
July’s total lunar eclipse occurs on the same day the planet Mars reaches its opposition, when it will shine at its best in the night sky. This month, Mars will be at its closest to Earth since 2003. When Mars becomes the brightest, it will reach that closest point to Earth on July 31.
The moon turns deep red or reddish-brown during eclipses, Instead of going completely dark. That’s because some of the sunlight going through Earths atmosphere is bent around the edge of our planet and falls onto the moon’s surface. The Earth's atmosphere also spreads more shorter- wavelength light, in colors such as green or blue; what's left is the longer-wavelength light, the redder end of the spectrum (光谱).
“What controls the duration of the lunar eclipse is the position of the moon as it passes through the Earth’s shadow,” Petro, the project scientist for NASA’s Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter (LRO) mission, said. The darkest part of Earth's shadow is called the umbra. You can picture the umbra as cone（圆锥体）extending from Earth in the opposite direction to the sun. Petro explained, “The moon can either graze (擦过) the cone, or go right through the middle, which gets a longer-time eclipse. This time, the moon is passing closer to the center of that cone, and it’s therefore a little bit longer.” Additionally, the moon will be at a farther point from Earth along its orbit. That means the moon will appear slightly smaller in the sky and will take a little bit longer to go through Earth’s shadow.
32. Which of the following people might not see the whole total lunar eclipse?
A. Indians.
B. Turks.
C. Europeans.
D. Egyptians.
33. Why does the moon turn red during eclipses?
A. The sunlight shines on the moon’s surface.
B. The longer-wavelength light is refracted to the moon.
C. The shorter-wavelength light falls on the moon.
D. The sunlight is bent around the edge of the moon.
34. The duration of the lunar eclipse lies on______.
A. whether the moon is behind the sun.
B. how far the moon is away from the sun.
C. where the moon goes through the umbra.
D. when the moon passes through the Earth’s shadow.
35. Which can be the most suitable title of the text?
A. The Longest Total Lunar Eclipse.
B. Earths Natural Satellite.
C. The Blood Moon Eclipse.
D. The Closest Mars to Earth.
第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）
根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
The word “no” is one of the first words we learn how to master. Spend time around any kid and I’m sure you’ll hear “no” most frequently. 1
Often it is because we don’t want to let others down and telling people “no” makes us feel guilty. We want to meet the needs of others, but unfortunately this comes at our own expense. 2 Because knowing when to say “no” to others helps us say “yes” to ourselves. Here are three tips to help you say “no” without feeling guilty.
?Know your worth. Depending on the request, it is important to think of your worth. What is the other person asking for? Precious time you need to spend on self-care? Financial resources that you aren’t in a place to lend? What would be the cost of this request? 3 ?4 “No” should always mean “no” , but unfortunately that’s not the case. If you have received a request that is a firm “no” for you, it’s OK to be frank about it. Don’t feel like you
need to beat around the bush or give a “maybe” if you truly mean “no”. Stand firm and state your “no” with kindness and respect.
?Offer an alternative solution. If saying “no” in this instance truly makes you feel bad, try offering an alternative solution for the request. 5 You can point the individuals to another resource or give them advice on other ways to satisfy their request.
A.Be firm, but polite.
B.Practise saying “no”.
C.In fact, it is normal to say “no” to others.
D.Take a moment to consider what your time and resources are worth.
E.Generally speaking, a “No, but. . .” makes others feel better than “No.”
F.Yet as we get older, the word “no” becomes harder and harder to say.
G.Mastering the art of saying “no” is one of the best forms of self-care.

Do birds have a favorite color? It’s probably not a question you’ve ever 41 but a project designed to answer that question led to two British schoolboys 42 the Young Scientist Award of the year after presenting their 43 to a group of judges.
The boys’ 44 to find out whether birds have a(n) 45 for a particular color came purely from scientific curiosity. Both of them are very 46 about nature and the power of colors in things, 47 they worked as a perfect combination and 48 a citizen science project that didn’t require fancy equipment.

They collected 53 covering a total period of 400 hours.
When the experiment finished, they had recorded the birds’ 54 to the gardens added up to 3,205, with over third being to the 55 feeders. It was a conclusive win for
blue. The pair believe that blue is 56 to birds because of its familiarity, while red and yellow are often 57 of poison in nature.
Later, the boys considered 58 for their findings, such as using the less popular colors of red and yellow to 59 bird strikes on planes. There seems to be quite a strong connection between the 60 of planes and the number of bird strikes.

At the same time, a new industry was just being born: the cinema. America’s movie industry began life in New York; but by 1910, movie-makers were moving to Los Angeles. In New York, everything was too expensive: workers, land, taxes. Moreover, it was difficult to make movies in winter, because it was too cold. The Los Angeles region, on the other hand, was full of advantages. In California, they could make films all through the year; and everything was cheaper. In particular, there was lots of land for sale, especially in the Los Angeles suburb called Hollywood. Mo vies quickly became very popular, and this popularity exploded after “talkies” first appeared in 1925. Nevertheless, movies were expensive to produce, and film companies needed money-lots of it. For this reason, Hollywood rapidly became controlled by a small number of big companies such

2020年高考英语模拟卷及答案解析 （全国卷） 第二部分阅读理解(共两节，满分40分) 第一节 (共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分) 阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。 A． Kids' imaginations are in overdrive when it comes to composing Christmas lists - as they ask for a live walrus（海象）, the power of invisibility（隐身） and Taylor Swift. Christmas is less than two months away, and little ones are already planning their letters to Santa. But one survey has revealed the weirdest items to turn up on Christmas lists, and they include mythical monsters and mega-selling pop stars. Conducted by GAME, the study also reveals a significant break from festive tradition when it comes to writing wish lists. One in three, 29%, children now use technology such as iPads or mobile phones instead of the traditional pen and paper, while a further one in five (19%) will rely on parents to take note of all the things they point at during TV adverts and during trips to the shops. With more than three million lists likely to be drafted, parents are prepared for a flurry of requests including many that even Santa would struggle to achieve. As part of the study, parents were asked to reveal some of the weird and wonderful items that made it onto their child's Christmas lists. Fred Prego, marketing director at GAME, says: "Choosing what to get your kids at Christmas can be a bit of a minefield(雷区).” As the research shows, most kids will be making note of the things that they want this half term and a lot of lists are going to be written." 21. The underlined word “overdrive” in paragraph one means _______. A. running with a high speed B. slowing down sometimes C. driving forth and backwards D. getting stuck somewhere 【答案】：A 【解析】：根据背景可知，孩子们在选择圣诞礼物时，要求颇多，在脑风暴什么礼物时，想象力也十分充沛。overdrive v.& n.大脑“高速运转”。
高考英语全国卷七选五-历年真题-doc
高考英语阅读专题练习七选五 Muzak The next time you go into a bank, a store, or a supermarket, stop and listen. What do you hear? 71 It's similar to the music you listen to, but it's not exactly the same. That's because this music was especially designed to relax you, or to give you extra energy. Sometimes you don't even realize the music is playing, but you react to the music anyway. Quiet background music used to be called "elevator (电梯) music" because we often heard it in elevators. But lately we hear it in more and more places, and it has a new name "Muzak". About one-third of the people in America listen to "Muzak" everyday. The music plays for 15 minutes at a time, with short pauses in between. It is always more lively between ten and eleven in the morning, and between three and four in the afternoon, when people are more tired. 72 If you listen to Muzak carefully, you will probably recognize the names of many of the songs. Some musicians or songwriters don't want their songs to be used as Muzak, but others are happy when their songs are chosen. Why? 73 Music is often played in public places because it is designed to make people feel less lonely when they are in an airport or a hotel. It has been proven that Muzak doeswhat it is designed to do. Tired office workers suddenly have more energy when they hear the pleasant sound of Muzak in the background. 74 Supermarket shoppers buy 38 percent more groceries. 75 . They say it's boring to hear the same songs all the time. But other people enjoy hearing Muzak in public places. They say it helps them relax and feel calm. One way or another, Muzak affects everyone. Some farmers even say their cows give more milk when they hear Muzak! A. Some people don't like Muzak. B. The music gives them extra energy. C. Music is playing in the background. D. Factory workers produce 13 percent more. E. Muzak tends to help people understand music better. F. They get as much as $4 million a year if their songs are used. G. Muzak is played in most of the big supermarkets in the world. Public speaking and critical thinking What is critical thinking? To a certain degree, it’s a matter of logic(逻辑)—of being able to spot weaknesses in other people’s argument and to avoid them in your own, it also includes related skills such as distinguishing fact from opinion and assessing the soundness of evidence. In the broad sense, critical thinking is focused, organized thinking—the ability to see clearly their relationships among ideas. 71 The greatest thinkers, scientists and inventors have often taken their information that was readily available and put it together differently to produce new ideas that, too, is critical thinking. 72 As the class goes on, for example, you will probably spend a good deal of time organizing your speeches. While this may seem like a purely mechanical(机械的) exercise, it is closely connected with critical thinking. If the structure of your speech is loose and confused, chances are that your thinking is also disordered and confused. If, on the other hand, the structure is clear, there is a good chance your thinking is too. Organizing a speech is not a matter ofarranging the ideas you already have. 73 What is true of organization is true of many aspects of public speaking. 74 As you work on expressing your ideas in clear, accurate language, you will improve your ability to think clearly and accurately. 75 As you learn to listen critically to speeches in class. You will be better able to assess the ideas of speakers in a variety of situations. If you take full advantage of your speech class, you will be able to develop your skills as critical thinker in many circumstances. This is one reason public speaking has been regarded as a vital part of education since the days of ancient Greece. A. Rather, it is an important part of shaping the ideas themselves. B. This may seem like a lot of time, but the rewards are well worth it. C. It may also help you to know that there is no such thing as a perfect speech. D. It has often been said that there are few new ideas in the world, only reorganized ideas. E. If you are wondering what this has to do with your public speaking class, the answer is quite a lot. F. The skills you learn in your speech class can help you become a more effective thinker in a number of ways. G. As you study the role of evidence and reasoning in speechmaking ,you will see how they can be used in other forms of communication as well. Empathy Last year, researchers from the University of Michigan reported that empathy, the ability to understand other people, among college students had dropped sharply over the past 10 years. __71__ Today, people spend more time alone and are less likely to join groups and clubs. Jennifer Freed, a co-director of a teen program, has another explanation. Turn on the TV, and you’re showered with news and reality shows full of people fighting, competing, and generally treating one another with no respect. __72__ There are good reasons not to follow those bad examples. Humans are socially related by nature. __73__ Researchers have also found that empathetic teenagers are more likely to have high self-respect. Besides, empathy can be a cure for loneliness, sadness, anxiety, and fear. Empathy is also an indication of a good leader. In fact, Freed says, many top companies report that empathy is one of the most important things they look for in new managers. __74__ “Academics are important. But if you don’t have emotional (情感的) intelligence, you won’t be as successful in work or in your love life,” she says. What’s the best way to up your EQ (情商）? For starters, let down your guard and really listen to others. __75__ To really develop empathy, you’d better volunteer at a nursing home or a hospital, join a club or a team that has a diverse membership, have a “sharing circle” with your family, or spend time caring for pets at an animal shelter. A.Everyone is different, and levels of empathy differ from person to person. B.That could be because so many people have replaced face time with screen time, the researchers said.
