But my clothes stuck to me like a heavy weight. I could hardly stay above the surface. Counsel saw this. “Sha

7、ll I cut them?” he asked. With a knife he cut my clothes from top to bottom and took them off quickly while I swam for both of us. Then I did the same for Counsel, and we continued to swim near each other. But we were in serious trouble. The crew might not have noticed our disappearance. And if they

8、 had, they could not return because the rudder (舵) had broken. Counsel thought of all this, and calmly made his plans. We decided to wait for the ship as long as possible, because we had no other hope of safety. I suggested that we save our strength so that both of us would not be tired out at the s

9、ame time. This was how we did it: While one of us lay on his back, quite still, with arms crossed and legs stretched out, the other would swim and push him along. We exchanged every ten minutes or so. In this way, we could swim for hours, perhaps till daylight. The crash of the ship and the whale ha

10、d appeared at about eleven oclock. We had about eight hours to swim before daylight. This seemed possible, if the sea remained calm.4Why did the two men help each other cut their clothes?ABecause the weather was too hot.BBecause they wanted to swim in the sea.CBecause no other people helped them to

13、ng ship at eleven oclock.Social media is taking over our lives: Facebook, Instagram, Twitter and now, TikTok. These social media platforms have transformed from a way to stay connected to an industry where even kids can make money off their posts. While this may seem like another opportunistic (机会主义

14、) innovation, its really full of hidden false realities.The median income (中位收入) recorded in the United States of America was about $63,000 in 2018. TikTokers can make anywhere from $50,000 to $150,000 for a TikTok brand partnership, and TikTokers with over a million followers can make up to $30,000

15、 a month $360,000 a year. They are making more than the average person trying to feed their family and keep a roof over their heads, simply by posting a 15-second video. This is mad in more ways than one. Not only is it an overpaid “job”, it promotes undeserved admiration from viewers and a false se

16、nse of reality. Many of these famous TikTokers are still teens, and the effects of fame at such an early stage in life might cause issues later in life, such as mental illness. Teens between the ages of 13 and 17 make up 27% of TikTok viewers, who can be easily influenced by what they are watching.

17、They can put a false sense of self-value into who they look up to and what they represent: money, fame, being considered conventionally attractive. While TikTok has become a great tool for marketing, its important to understand how this content affects young viewers. If were constantly consuming con

18、tent that shows us all we need to do to be successful is be conventionally attractive and post a 15-second video featuring a new dance, it will challenge our knowledge of what really makes someone successful and will in turn affect our individual work ethics (伦理). What about the people who miss birt

19、hday and family holidays due to their jobs and arent getting paid nearly as much as these TikTokers? Richard Colyer, president and creator of Metaphor, Inc, had his own view on this issue. “It sounds great to make money for doing the latest dance moves in a 15-second video, but we should feed the mi

20、nds of kids and not just their bank accounts. TikTok can be great if used properly. Money alone is not good, technology alone is not good and connectedness can be bad if its only online.”Again, as a fellow consumer of TikTok, I do enjoy the app when I have some time to kill and need a good laugh. I

21、m not against someone making a living on entertainment, but what does getting famous of a 15-second video teach young people?8What does the underlined word “this” in Paragraph 1 refer to?ASocial networking.BMaking money on social media.CA job offered by TikTok.DStaying connected to the Internet.9Wha

22、t do the numbers given in Paragraph 2 show?ATikTokers are earning money easily.BAll TikTokers are richer than average people.CMost TikTokers can become millionaires overnight.DTikTokers earn much more than ordinary workers.10Which is the possible influence of TikTok on its young users?AThey tend to

23、live an adult life too soon.BThey are forced to pay for certain services.CThey may abandon other social media.DThey are likely to develop false value.11What can we infer from Richard Colyers comments?ATikTok can be a positive influence if teens employ it wisely.BYoung TikTokers should be banned from

24、 making money.CIt is better to involve education on investment in TikTok videos.DContents of videos need checking before their release online.A real-world study by researchers at NTU Singapore has revealed that the application of cool paint coatings in cities can help pedestrians feel up to 1.5 degr

25、ees Celsius cooler, making the urban area more comfortable for work and leisure.Cool paint coatings contain additives that reflect the suns heat to reduce surface heat absorption and emission. They have been regarded as a potential solution to cool down the urban area and combat the Urban Heat Islan

26、d effect, a phenomenon in which urban areas experience warmer temperatures than their outlying surroundings.Now, NTU researchers have conducted a pioneering real-world study to comprehensively evaluate how well cool paint coatings work in reducing city heat.To carry out their real-world experiments,

27、 the NTU researchers selected four rectangular buildings that created two “street canyons” narrow streets lined by buildings. One canyon, or “cool canyon” was coated with cool paints on the roofs, walls, and road pavement, while the other canyon remained as it was as a “control” for the experiment.

28、Using environmental sensors, the NTU team monitored the conditions in the two canyons over two months, which included air movement, surface and air temperature, humidity, and radiation, to see how well the cool paint coatings worked in reducing city heat.The researchers found that during a 24-hour c

29、ycle, the cool canyon saw up to a 30%reduction in heat released from the built-up surfaces, resulting in the air temperature in the cool canyon being cooler than the conventional canyon by up to 2C during the hottest time of the day, at around 4 pm. As a result, pedestrians in the cool canyon can fe

30、el up to 1.5C cooler. The NTU research team also found that air temperature in the cool canyon was lowered because less heat was absorbed by and stored in the building walls, roofs, and roads, which would subsequently have been released to either heat up the surrounding air or the buildings inside.W

31、ith global warming, people will increasingly look for ways to stay cool. The study shows how cool paint coatings can be a strategy to reduce the Urban Heat Island effect in future.12What is the function of paragraph 2?ATo introduce the purpose of the study.BTo illustrate the findings of the study.CT

32、o explain the theoretical base of the study.DTo provide background information for the study.13What is the primary purpose of the real-world study by NTU researchers?ATo assess the effectiveness of cool paint coatings.BTo investigate the effect of climate on urban areas.CTo study the behavior of ped

33、estrians in urban areas.DTo analyze the impact of urbanization on the environment.14What is one potential benefit of using cool paint coatings in cities?AIncreasing air quality levels.BImproving pedestrians comfort.CEnhancing surface heat absorption.DSaving energy consumption in winter.15What can we

34、 learn from the passage?AThe real-world study is a first of its kind study.BThe cool paint coatings also have markets in rural areas.CThe cool paint coatings have proved effective worldwide.DMany cutting-edge technologies are employed in the study.Walk of LifePutting one foot in front of another is

35、simple, convenient and great for body and mind. 16 Make it a habitSet a goal of 30 minutes five days a week. If you walk quickly, this will give you your recommended 150 minutes a week of moderate exercise, bringing you better fitness and the mental health benefits of beingoutdoors. 17 Warm up and d

46、Beijing Opera roles require performers to paint 36 (they) faces in patterns and colors to represent different character types and 37 (quality).In Beijing Opera, facial painting can be quite complex. 38 , in the beginning, only three colors were usedred, white and black. Now, many other colors, such

47、as yellow, purple, blue and green, are used for facial painting.Red is a color for brave and loyal (忠诚的) characters.
