Who do you think is the________ ________？

21、   The idea of anonymous(匿名) social media is stronger than ever. However, there's a debate over the pros and cons of using popular anonymous apps.

Supporters of these apps offer several reasons why they believe the technology is good.

Many people post life events on apps to share with family and friends. However, some of those same people will turn to anonymous sites to ask for life advice when they feel uncomfortable sharing personal details with a friend. According to the economist Michael Heyward, since users are not identified, troubled individuals can find help from a non-judgmental source through apps. Take the popular anonymous app AfterSchool as the example. The app allows teens to speak freely with others about emotional and everyday life worries and problems.

Along the same lines, supporters believe that meaningful conversations can push important subjects to the front because a person is more likely to comment without fear of outcomes. These situations enable people to draw attention to subjects that might otherwise be pushed aside.

One of the goals of using anonymous apps is to encourage the users to post news as it happens. In 2017, a new service that produces articles automatically from users' posts came out. Surprisingly, it is popular-even writers at news companies use it. Some journalists even have started using these apps to report on the tech industry.

However, critics, people who are against the idea of anonymous commenting, see these apps as tools that spread less-desirable behaviors(举止). They reason if the limitation set by social rules is removed, there will be more improper behaviors.

One of the most common criticisms of anonymous social media is how easily a user can post a hurtful comment on an individual. This often puts the victim at the disadvantage of having to prove the statement false. Also, beyond the worry of such posts, there are more serious worries about crimes resulted from anonymous violence(暴力). While there are pros and cons to this debate, it's necessary to realize that anonymity is a hallmark(标志) of our history. As social media becomes a larger presence in everyday life, it's likely this subject will continue to be debated.

【1】AfterSchool in the third paragraph is mentioned to ________.

A.stress the bright side of anonymous apps B.encourage teens to use social media more

C.introduce a very popular app among teens D.show the possible problems of social media

【2】The writer probably agrees that ________.

A.it's beneficial to encourage further use of anonyrnous apps

B.more rules are needed to make a standard for anonymous apps

C.people need to wait to see whether anonymous apps are really bad

D.anonymous apps have something to do with the development of the society

【3】What might be the best title for the passage?

A.Do You Have a Right to Be Anonymous? B.The Popularity of Social Media

C.Anonymous Apps, Good or Bad? D.A Debate on the Use of Apps

22、Wild beavers (河狸) are back! Experts say that the wild beaver families are doing well. The beavers are even boosting wildlife and the environment!

Over ten years ago, a family of beavers turned up in a part of the river Otter, in Devon. No one knew exactly where they came from. It was a big surprise — wild beavers hadn’t lived in England for around 400 years!

In 2015, the government allowed the beavers to stay there as part of a trial (试验). They wanted to see if these animals could be reintroduced to the wild. The trial ended in February. Some scientists from the University of Exeter already said the beavers helped the wildlife in the area. One scientist called it “an amazing story”.

A lot of this is because of dams. Beavers build dams along the river. This creates deep pools in the riverbed and slows the water down. Scientists say this is perfect for many different types of plants and animals! Many plants are growing near the beavers. Different types of animals are also becoming more and more in the river. Beavers also help make flooding less, scientists say. The beavers’ dams slow down the speed of the river, especially after heavy rain.

There are, however, some problems. Beavers gnaw (咬、啃) on trees and this can harm them. Their dams can also sometimes create floods (洪水) on people’s land.

Beavers aren’t the only animals that are being reintroduced to the wild! In 2019, red squirrels were brought back to an area of the Scottish Highlands. Further away, the world’s rarest (罕见的) duck, the Madagascar pochard, is making a comeback. It was set free into the wild on the African island in 2019 and is doing well.

Who knows what other animals might be making a comeback?

【1】Which of the following best explains “boosting” in Paragraph 1?

A．building

B．spreading

C．helping

D．creating

【2】Why did the government want a trial first? Because they wanted to _________.

A．grow more plants along the river

B．build dams for the beavers in the wild

C．introduce the beavers to the wild

D．see if the beavers could be reintroduced to the wild

【3】What are the good things about wild beavers living on the river Otter?

A．They help plants grow and make flooding less.

B．They bring heavy rain and floods.

C．They gnaw on trees and harm them.

D．Their dams create floods on people’s land.

【4】How many kinds of animals are mentioned in the news which have been reintroduced to the wild?

A．One.

B．Two.

C．Three.

D．Four.

【5】How do you think animal lovers feel about the news?

A．Embarrassed.

B．Pleased.

C．Tired.

D．Disappointed.

23、

Painful for Your Ears

Do you often listen to music at loud volumes? You should know that this habit is bad for your hearing, according to the World Health Organization (WHO).

The human ear has three different parts. The outer ear is the part you can see. The middle ear and inner ear are inside your head. That doesn't mean those parts can't be hurt. They can be harmed by loud noises. Over one billion young people are at risk of hearing loss due to listening to loud noise for long periods of time, said WHO. Listening to music or watching a TV show at loud volumes can harm your hearing.

Sounds are measured in decibels (dB分贝). A whisper is 30 dB. A friend talking is about 60 dB. The sound of a busy road is about 85 dB and the sound of a rock concert can be about 100 dB. The United Nations has standards for safe listening. It is not safe to listen to sounds that are louder than 85 dB for eight hours or 100 dB for 15 minutes.

Loud noise is harmful to the inner ear. Most of us are born with about 16,000 hair cells (听毛细胞) in our inner ears. These cells detect (探测) sounds. However, listening to loud noise for a long time can make these cells work too hard and cause some of them to die. This is what causes hearing loss.

Some people might think that their music isn't all that loud. But this can depend on where you are. For example, if you are in a noisy place like the subway, you might turn up your music too loud without realizing it. Later, when you listen to it the same volume in a quiet place, you might feel uncomfortable.

What can be done to protect your hearing? Use noise-canceling (降噪) headphones. These headphones get rid of background noise. You don't need to turn up the volume as much. Keep your device volume at 50 to 60 percent. Limit daily use of headphones. Listen to sound on your mobile devices for a maximum of one hour per day.

The less loud noise you hear, the better!

【1】Listening to loud music causes hearing problems because_______.

A.it can stop our ears from resting

B.it puts our brains under great pressure

C.it can cause hair cells in the inner ear to die

D.it makes people get used to listening to loud sounds

【2】From paragraph 5, we can know_______.

A.people love to listen to loud music

B.people don't always know how loud their music is

C.it's great to listen to music on the subway

D.it's reasonable to listen to loud music in some places

【3】The writer probably agrees that _______.

A.people have to wear headphones while walking on a busy road

B.listening to music on TV is better for hearing than on mobile devices

C.young people should set a time limit of listening to music at loud volumes

D.wearing noise-canceling headphones can stop the outer ears being harmed

24、   Dear editor,

My English teacher is very strict with us. Several days ago, when we were in class, Tom asked me a question. But my English teacher thought we were speaking in class.

And she will be pleased to hear you want to learn English well. Of course, you should know that what your teacher did was good for you.

25、首字母填空

What will you do if you are in a crowd(人群)? The first and most important t【1】 is to make yourself know where you are and where the exits are. No matter where you are, make sure you always know how to get out and to be safe.

Make yourself know what type of ground you are standing on. Wet or uneven(不平坦的) ground can make you  f【2】 down in a crowd of moving people. If you find y【3】 in the middle of a moving crowd, you must be careful. Do not walk a【4】 the moving direction and do not stop or sit down, because you could get trampled(踩踏) e【5】.
