BMy sister Cassie and I are twins, but we are quite different. I am quiet and shy while she is outgoing and popula

27、r, and she always tries to help me to get over my shyness.One day when we were reading in the classroom, I saw our English teacher Mr. Rodriguez walking into the room. I expected him to come to me, because earlier that day he had said he wanted to discuss something with me, but he went to Cassie ins

28、tead and took her out of the classroom. I was lost in reading and didn't realize that he never came back for me later.“Talent show tonight！ Starting at six oclock！” This was broadcast （廣播） throughout the halls as the final bell rang. I wasn't interested, but it could be fun to watch.After a

29、quick dinner, our parents drove us to the show. As soon as we got inside the hall，Cassie asked me to follow her backstage（后臺(tái)）.“Cassie.what's going on?” I asked.She took a deep breath and said, “Jessie.Listen to me." But she was cut off by a calling from the host, “Jessie Davis on in two min

30、utes!”Hearing my name, I couldn't believe my cars. I cried, “What did you do?!?”“Just hear me out.Mr. Rodriguez saw me in the classroom and thought I was you.1 pretended（假裝） to be you. He hoped the wonderful essay（文章）I-you-had written， could be read in the talent show. And I said 'Yes' f

31、or you. Wait!” She handed me the essay when I was about to angrily say something.“I didn't tell you until now because I was afraid that you would be too shy to go on stage. Trust me! Your essay is great! You can make it!” Just then, the host called out, “Jessie Davis on now!”I took one last look

34、elmed（無法應(yīng)對(duì)）by your to-do list can certainly bring stress and make you unhappy, but new research shows that more free time might not always be good for us. as many people think. For example，some people have the retirement blues（退休憂慮） after they leave their jobs.In a new study about how Americans spen

35、d their time, the researchers found that the levels of well-being-health and happiness-were usually higher for people with more free time, but only up to a point. People with two hours of free time a day reported they felt better than those who had less time. But people who had five or more hours of

36、 free time a day said they felt worse. So the free-lime “sweet spot” might be two to three hours per day, the findings reported. “While too little time is bad, having more time is not always better,” said Marissa Sharif, a professor at The Wharton School.How to decide this “sweet spot” partly has to

37、 do with how people spend the free time they have. In an online experiment，researchers asked participants（參與者）to think about having 3.5 to 7 free hours per day， and spending that time doing “productive”（富有成效的） things, like exercising, or doing “unproductive” activities, like watching TV. Participant

38、s believed they wouldn't have a great sense of well-being if they had a lot of free time during the day-but only if they used it unproductively. The experiment shows that being focused on productive activities in the free time brings people happiness, and it can be good for people's mental h

39、ealth. In other words, how people use their free time matters, Sharif said.Of course, you are the one to decide what feels “productive”. The point of all of this is self-care， and most productive activities can be easy and fun. Doing a bit of low-key（低強(qiáng)度的）exercise， like walking， can help reduce stre

40、ss. Free-time activities like reading or cooking can also put people in a state of flow. “In cases when people do find themselves with a large amount of free time, such as retirement or having left a job,” Sharif said,“our results show that these people would benefit from spending their newfound tim

41、e with purpose（目標(biāo)）.”41.What did the researchers ask the participants to do in the online experiment?A. To reduce stress by doing a bit of low-key exercise like walking. B. To do productive and unproductive things in their free time every day. C. To care about themselves when they do productive and p

42、urposeful activities. D. To think about spending free time doing productive and unproductive things. 42. The expression “put people in a state of flow” in Paragraph 4 probably means _ .A. leave people sad and helpless B. drive people to feel stressful C. make people focused and happy D. encourage pe

43、ople to better themselves 43.What can we learn from the passage?A. People with less than two hours of free time always feel the most healthy. B. People would b& happy if they do productive activities in their free time. C. Some busy people would find a new job someday by being productive. D. Som

44、e retired people feel sad because they can't care for themselves. D If you are looking to pass time, TikTok is just the app. TikTok, also named Douyin in China， is a social media platform（社交媒體平臺(tái)） where its users can watch, share and create short videos. These videos can be about almost everythin

45、g, from personal lives to the latest news.As of February 2021, TikTok has around 1.1 billion users worldwide. Almost 60% of the users are between the ages of 16 and 24. Then, what's so great about this app that it wins such popularity among young people?For one thing, most videos on TikTok last

46、only 15 seconds. Sometimes it feels as if a 15-second video can make you satisfied and laugh harder than a one-hour TV show or movie. That's exactly what TikTok expects, and it is a big attraction for people looking for fun for a few minutes during the busy days. The algorithm （算法） of the app is

47、 another reason. Whenever you open the app，the first page you see is the “For You”page. Algorithm serves up the new videos that users may get interested in on the “For You" page. If you “heart” the videos you love, similar ones will keep showing up as you scroll down （滑動(dòng)） the “For You”page.TikT

48、ok also encourages everyone to become a creator. Users can make videos in whatever way they want. With the countless number of users, one can only hope their video appears on the “For You" page of many other users. That encourages video creators to keep producing more.As TikTok has grown, the d

49、ifferent kinds of videos on the app catch young people in a web of addiction（上癮）.Some think the overuse of the app is because of the same experience you find yourself in while watching videos. To some, it can be like hearing a story or a joke from a friend through a screen. It's even more exciti

50、ng when you realize that the people on the screen are from all around the world.Overall, I think the addiction to TikTok has led many young people to get carried away. You may find yourself spending an hour or two on hundreds of short videos without realizing it. While it's mainly used for fun,

51、it also takes up too much time."Tik-tok" is the sound of a clock，alluding（影射） to how fast time passes when youre on the app.44.According to the passage, why do most videos on Tiktok last only 15 seconds?A. Because TV shows or movies are harder to understand. B. Because short videos are eas

52、ier to be created and shared by users. C. Because TikTok hopes people get fun in a short time on busy days. D. Because creators can't show long videos on social media platforms.45.What can we learn from the passage?A. Algorithm of TikTok helps its users to find the videos they like on the app. B

53、. The same kind of videos keep showing up as soon as a user opens the app. C. Users of TikTok produce more videos to encourage creativity of young people. D. Videos will appear on the "For You" page of many users right after being created. 46.What's Paragraph 6 mainly about?A. Why youn

54、g people overuse TikTok. B. When TikTok started to become popular. C. What young people can learn from TikTok. D. How TikTok catches young people's attention. 47.What does the writer probably agree with?A. It is necessary for young people to use TikTok for fun. B. It is a safe and fast way to ge

55、t information from TikTok. C. Young people can easily get famous by creating TikTok videos. D. Young people can find it hard to control the time spent on TikTok. 七、閱讀表達(dá)（每小題2分，共10分）閱讀短文，根據(jù)短文內(nèi)容回答問題。Earlier in June, the Ueno Zoo in Tokyo said that Shin Shin, the giant panda from China, was going to hav

56、e a baby. And then on June 23rd, 2021, the happy news came: Shin Shin had given birth not to one baby, but two.Yutaka Fukuda, the zoo director, said the twin births were a welcome surprise.” When the first one was born， I was excited， he said during a news conference（新聞發(fā)布會(huì)） Wednesday morning.“When I

57、 received a report on the second, I was shocked and surely happy.”A zoo spokesperson, Naoya Ohashi, said that when pandas have twins, they usually raise（養(yǎng)育）just one of them，so zookeepers make sure the mother feeds one while the other stays in an incubator （恒溫箱）. They plan to change the babies from time to time so that they both experience a natural diet.Tokyo planned to return Shin Shin to China in February. But Tokyo
