26、If someone said they’d pay you $1,800 to stay off social media for six years, would you do it? 【1】

In 2016, Lorna challenged her 12-year-old son Sivert to stay off social media until he was 18. If he completed the challenge, she’d award him the cash on his eighteenth birthday. 【2】

Sivert said it wasn’t too difficult to live without social media, and he didn’t think about it much during the six years. 【3】 The only app he once used was Snapchat, which he deleted a day after trying it out.

Now $1,800 richer, Sivert told CNN he hasn’t thought about what to buy, but it’ll likely be used for his study at the University of Northwestern St. Paul, which he’ll attend in the fall But he has already decided on his first use of social media: getting Instagram.

After Sivert’s success, Lorna shared the challenge online. She said it was some of the best money she ever spent. Other parents have seemed interested in trying it out too. “【4】 But the question is to use it in a healthy way,” Lorna noted. She added she thinks her son now has a “different perspective” on social media than he would have at age 12.

Sivert is the youngest of four children. 【5】 When one of her daughters was 16, Lorna took away her phone. Lorna says her daughter later thanked her for doing so, as it improved her mood.

“For some reason, kids and adults feel so comfortable behind a screen,”. Lorna mentioned the kinds of comments people post. “I’m so happy Sivert didn’t have to read any of that.”

A．Sivert Klefsaas did just that.

B．We are certainly not against social media.

C．It’s about not letting yourself get addicted to it.

D．He said that he wasn’t using social media a lot at 12.

E．His three older sisters all used social media growing up.

F．Lorna was inspired by a challenge she heard on the radio.

G．Six years later, on February 19, 2022, Sivert took his prize.

27、When I was 12 years old, we had a trip to France. I had never been out of the country before, so I was very excited. My aunt, my father and I went around with my father showing us all the unbelievable sites in Paris. None of us spoke much French but we loved the city.

We had taken the subway all over the city and were congratulating ourselves on our mastering what is honestly an excellent subway design that is pretty easy to follow. We decided to visit Versailles by train. We chatted happily along the way until my father realized we were far into the French countryside and no one around spoke English.

We reached the end of the line and felt afraid when everyone finally left the train. An old man and his grandchild noticed us and came to help. He spoke no English, so in broken French we tried to explain. When he finally understood, this great man settled his grandson and showed us to the correct train and then boarded with us.

Later we knew the truth that there was a train transfer (转乘) and he didn’t want us to miss it. This kind man rode a train for an hour and a half out of his way to make sure that three Americans got where they wanted to be. He refused to let us pay for his ticket. He did it all with a gentle smile and patted our hands gently at the stop. Then in his quiet way, he boarded the train to return the way he had come.

What impressed me most was the man and his kindness during the amazing trip. Some Americans think the French are rude for some reason, but I always try to persuade them to change their minds with this very story.

【1】What happened to the author and his family on the train?

A．They failed to get off the train at the right time.

B．They couldn’t understand the signs of the train.

C．Their opinions divided about where to go first.

D．They found it hard to communicate with the French.

【2】Which of the following can best describe the last paragraph?

A．Being kind is a good manner.

B．Seeing is believing.

C．Travelling enriches one’s life.

D．Helping others brings great pleasure.

【3】What’s the purpose of the author’s writing the text?

A．To explain an unexpected problem.

B．To share an unforgettable foreign experience.

C．To list the unbelievable sites in Paris.

D．To show the importance of mastering a foreign language.

28、In the early days of covid-19, the tech industry was consumed by a sense of excitement. With billions of people locked down at home, work and play were shifting online. Many hoped that the new normal would spark a huge productivity boom as firms digitized and workers spent less time commuting. The excitement was most evident in stock-markets, where any firm related to this trend saw its share price surge. The tech-heavy NASDAQ rose by 88%.

The crazy has ended. Today the lockdown lunacy index(疯狂指数) — which includes Netflix, a streaming service; Peloton, a maker of fancy exercise bikes; Robin-hood, a stock-trading app; Shopify, and e-commerce platform; and Zoom, a videoconferencing firm - has fallen by more than 80% from its peak.

How worrying is this return to Earth? To be sure, some of it reflects gloomier prospects for the global economy. And it is disappointing that two years of digitization and remote work have not provided clear evidence of a productivity boom. Yet there are reasons still to be techno-optimistic. Much of the early enthusiasm may simply have been focused on the wrong types of firm. Though the pandemic darlings have fizzled, the shift towards ever greater digitization continues. The true winners are not the flashy consumer-tech firms, but the companies that provide the infrastructure to enable this shift.

Look beyond the boom and bust of consumer tech, and you see the real successes. The market for the infrastructure technology that underpins people’s daily lives, such as cloud computing, cyber-security and digital payments, is booming. The cloud-computing industry is expected to grow to almost $500bn this year, up from $243bn in 2019. Amazon’s cloud offering, the largest in the world, is still growing at 33% each year. It accounted for three-quarters of the firm’s operating income over the past 12 months, and is propping up the tech giant’s ailing e-commerce business. Its closest rivals are the cloud services of Microsoft and Google. Their annual sales are growing by 40% and 36%, respectively.

Cloudification has created new demands for cybersecurity, another tech winner. The combined revenue at the three largest listed cybersecurity firms has almost doubled since the start of the pandemic. Their market capitalisation has tripled, and has come down only a fraction since the start of the year. Digital payments are another bright spot, thanks to lockdowns and social distancing. Three-quarters of iPhone owners use Apply Pay, up from half in 2019, and nine out of ten American retailers now accept it as a payment method. Almost 200m people in India and China have used some form of digital payment for the first time since the onset of covid.

The bubble may have burst on the pandemic’s darlings, but the drumbeat of digitization continues. The less obvious technologies that provide the underlying infrastructure for the shift are the true beneficiaries of covid. Whether these will fuel a productivity boost one day remains to be seen. But there was more going on during the pandemic than lockdown crazy.

【1】According to the article, which of the following statements is TRUE?

A．Tech industry predicted a productivity boom in the lockdown, which proved true.

B．The share prices of customer-tech companies sharply rocketed and then declined.

C．Robinhood is a tech company specializaing in meeting demands for cybersecurity.

D．The prospects of the tech industry are too gloomy to be optimistic.

【2】What does the underlined word “fizzled” in paragraph 3 mean?

A．emerged

B．benefited

C．failed

D．sustained

【3】What can be inferred from the last three paragraphs?

A．Digital payment wasn’t available to Indians at all until the start of covid.

B．In the past year, Amazon has mainly depended on its e-commerce business of profits.

C．In the shift of working online, cloudification is no longer optional!

D．The market capitalization of three largest listed cybersecurity firms has kept rising.

【4】What is the best title of the article?

A．Techno-pessimists Rule the Lockdown.

B．The Lockdown Index Sounds the Alarm.

C．Economic Depression Is Arriving.

D．Tech Losers and Winners of the Pandemic.

29、My parents love tennis and they’re members of a tennis club. My older brother was really good at it and they supported him—taking him to lessons all the time. So when I announced I wanted to be a tennis champion when I grew up, I just intended for them to notice me. My mother laughed. She knew I couldn't possibly be serious, for I was just a 4-year-old kid!

Later, I joined the club’s junior coaching group and eventually took part in my first proper contest, believing that my team would do well. We won, which was fantastic, but I wasn’t so successful. I didn’t even want to be in the team photo because I didn't feel I deserved to be. When my coach asked what happened in my final match, I didn’t know what to say. I couldn’t believe I’d lost. I thought I was the better player. But every time I attacked, the other player defended well. I couldn’t explain the result.

After that, I decided to listen more carefully to my coach because he had lots of tips. I realised that I need the right attitude to be a winner. On the court I have a plan but sometimes the other guy will do something unexpected so I’ll change it. If I lose a point, I do my best to forget it and find a way to win the next one.

At tournaments, it’s impossible to avoid players who explode in anger. Lots of players can be negative, including myself sometimes. Once I felt angry and nearly broke my racket! But my coach has helped me develop ways to control those feelings. After all, the judges have a hard job and you just have to accept their decisions.

My coach demands that I train in the gym to make sure I'm strong right to the end of a tournament. I’m getting good results; my shots are more accurate and there’s a chance that I could be a champion one day with hard work.

B．Respect the other players.

C．Don’t let the other players surprise him.

D．Follow his game plan.

【4】What does the author say about his behaviour at tournaments?

A．He found it difficult to deal with judges’ decisions.

B．He broke his racket once when he was angry.

C．He stayed away from players who behaved badly.

D．He tried to keep calm during the game.
