Online live streaming(直播) is big business nowadays, making huge profits and attracting hundreds of millions of viewers. In addition to adults, this rapidly expanding industry is now drawing underage live streamers, who are not of legal age. According to a report by the Sina Weibo Data Center, live streamers aged 11—16 accounted for 12 percent of all streamers in China. The figure has been rising still, while streamers are getting younger.

It has been found that a large number of underage streamers are drinking, smoking or even exposing to attract viewers. In the best case, live streaming will affect children’s schoolwork and waste their precious youth. In the worst case, they will develop bad values and an improper outlook, which will damage their future.

“Webcasts (web broadcast) are suspected of having a hotbed of improper program. Particularly, the involvement of underage streamers in this industry is making the situation more complex” said Mao Jianguo from Southern Metropolis Daily.

Some legal experts recently issued a report on protection of the children in the cyberspace(网络空间), suggesting that those under 14 should be restricted from independently live streaming and posting videos online.

However, it is unwise and impossible to totally reject all underage streamers but it's necessary and even urgent to standardize the underage webcast sector.

Fortunately, some webcast companies have said that they will not allow streamers under the age of 18 and online live streamers must register by using their ID. However, the reality is that many underage streamers choose to avoid that by using the IDs of adults, who also go through the face scanning required for conditions. All this means that to block underage streamers from webcasting, it’s not enough to depend on their self-discipline.

Parents should tell their children about the disadvantages of getting involved in live streaming so that children develop an objective attitude toward live streaming. Adults should not lend their IDs to children to register for live streaming. And the watchdogs must patrol(巡逻) webcast platforms more actively and remove all unauthorized videos of underage streamers.

1.What are the first and second paragraphs mainly about?

A.A new industry of live streaming came into being.

B.Online live streaming has been a social concern.

C.Teenagers are curious about live streaming recently.

D.Online live streaming is increasingly popular and bringing bad effects.

2.According to Mao Jianguo’s words, we can indicate__________.

A.children’s live streaming is the root of all the social problems

B.webcasts contribute to the unhealthy trend in underage live streaming

C.webcasts are less likely to cause more social problems

D.webcasts are the main causes of many youth problems

3.What do we know about standardized measures mentioned in the text?

A.Children shall never use a webcast without the IDs.

B.Self-discipline is an effective way to stop underage streaming.

C.Parents should guide the children to use webcasts properly.

D.Watchdogs’ duty is to stop children from live streaming.

4.What is the best title of the text?

B.The Attraction to Children by a Rapidly Expanding Industry

C.Different Opinions about Underage Live Streaming.

D.An Appeal for Keeping Watch on Underage Live Streaming

Many businesses offer membership cards to clients, promising that they will enjoy discounts, and the more they use the cards, the bigger the discounts will be. This is a common practice to attract and keep regular customers. By providing quality products or services at reasonable prices, businesses can indeed achieve this goal.

However, in recent years, consumers trying to book flights or hotels on certain websites have discovered that prices were actually higher for frequent users than for newcomers. They found that they could pay less by opening up a new account rather than using an old one. Unfortunately, these businesses are using information gathered through big data on clients’ preferences and purchasing habits to take advantage of them, which amounts to targeted price discrimination.

There have been numerous cases of overcharging based on big data on various shopping platforms in recent years. However, since it’s difficult to collect sufficient evidence to accuse these businesses, only a small number of consumers have chosen to take them on. Thus, big data, which is supposed to benefit the public, is helping some businesses cheat consumers. Big data itself is not a bad thing, since it is playing an increasingly important role in social life and economic growth. It can serve as a basic resource and tool. But since it is being used to overcharge frequent clients, the public has expressed anger. It’s a short-sighted behavior that will eventually drive away customers. Instead, big data should be used to improve businesses’ services and products by strengthening supervision(监督) and punishment so that this new technology can play its due role in Internet commerce.

It’s urgent to stop the misuse of big data by stepping up supervision. Market and network supervisory authorities need to join hands in this effort. The illegal use of big data should be severely punished. Advanced technology should be more widely used to supervise big data use.

It’s all right for businesses to employ certain methods to make big money, but to charge regular clients more than newcomers by taking advantage of information collected through big data analysis is violating regular clients’ rights as well as their trust in these businesses. The Law on the Protection of Consumer Rights and Interests clearly states that consumers have the right to know the truth about the commodities and services they buy. Thus, to overcharge regular clients is not only betraying the principle of fairness and sincerity, but also relevant laws. In the long run, it’s the businesses that will suffer most.

Joey is loyal, encouraging and self-sacrificing, always putting others’ interests ahead of his own. He is a hard worker, who also loves to run and play. In short, he’s an ideal friend and a heroic character.

Here is the thing: Joey is a horse, who appears as the main character in Steven Spielberg’s new film War Horse.

It is based on Michael Morpurgo’s 1982 novel, which also caused the same-titled Tony Awards winning play.

The film follows the saga of Joey, a racehorse that’s trained for farm work under the loving care of Albert (Jeremy Irvine )after Albert’s drunk father Ted(Peter Mullan ) overpays for the animal at auction(拍卖会).

Then the World War I tears Albert and Joey apart. Joey is sold into the war effort for the British and starts his episodic adventures in Europe.

Splendidly staged, the battle plots in the film are visually astounding and impressive.

And with Spielberg’s unique, top-notch direction and storytelling skills, War Horse cannot escape its episodic nature, calling to mind another Spielberg film about the horrors of war and its effects upon soldiers and civilians—Saving Private Ryan.

While that film shocked with horrific scenes of bleeding, it relied on a company of easily-described characters and a focused storyline to present heroic themes.

Like Saving Private Ryan, War Horse clings to a series of characters, not only Albert, but also British officers, French civilians and German soldiers, who display courage in the face of danger. Everyone who comes in contact with Joey is either already in touch with their inner angel or is quickly moved to become more humane.

Although none of this covers the fact that we’ve seen this stuff elsewhere before, the lovely sentiment will steal your heart.

And the emotional signature of Spielberg can be felt as he establishes the relationship between the boy and the horse and the mood of the piece – there will be tears.

Therefore, calling this beautiful, dramatically incomplete film “ Saving Private Joey”, is entirely justifiable.

1.In common with “ Saving Private Ryan”, the film War Horse _________ .

2.Which statement is true according to the passage?

3.According to the passage, what does the underlined word astounding mean?

4.What is the best title for the passage?

Environmental groups and rock climbers are always at loggerheads because of the effect of rock climbing on the environment. There have been many examples, wherein rock climbers are accused of going into natural reserves and treating the animals, plants and rocks there badly. However, with the changing times, rock climbers are conscious and carry out minimal climbing.

Rock climbers hammer bolts (螺栓) on climbing routes and in the process damage the nature of rocks. In addition, climbing activities also have an effect on the animals and plants situated near the climbing area. The plants growing near the base of rocks are trampled (踩踏), and the animals living in the climbing area are forced out of their places, whenever humans are around. For example, during the summer climbing season, pregnant females of an endangered species of snake live in open areas like roadsides, exposed walls or rocks, where there is less canopy closure (树冠郁闭) compared to areas occupied by non-pregnant females and males. According to climbers, these open areas are very ft for climbing during summer.

Many rock climbers have understood the significance of wildlife plant and animal preservation and related issues, and therefore take measures to reduce effects on climbing areas. Considering the effect of climbing activities on natural reserves, various national parks and wildlife agencies have put forth certain regulations on climbers. There are seasonal closures of climbing areas to avoid illegal entrance of uninformed rock climbers.

Climbers are always expected to support wilderness preservation. Many environmental organizations have been formed to protect the environment and in the process draw up certain guidelines for rock climbers. Both sides have come to a common understanding of the effect of rock climbers on protected areas.

1.What does the underlined part “at loggerheads” in Paragraph 1 mean?

A.In support. B.In difficulty.

C.In disagreement. D.In communication.

2.Why is the example of snakes mentioned in Paragraph 2?

A.To show how special their living habits are. B.To show rock climbing affects their lives.

C.To show climbers are exposed to great danger. D.To show how to avoid wild animals in summer.

3.What do environmental organizations do to preserve wilderness?

A.Give guidelines to rock climbers. B.Accuse climbers of their climbing.

C.Close some secured natural reserves. D.Encourage climbers to choose open areas.

4.What is the text mainly about?

A.Efforts made to protect rock climbers. B.The recent popularity of rock climbing.

C.Environmental issues of rock climbing. D.Rock climbers’ environmental awareness.

It’s the dieting fashion that is sweeping the world, and encourages fasting (禁食) for two days of the week. But does it work?

People are starving themselves to lose weight, with a dieting trend known as the “fast diet” growing in popularity.

The method is also known as the 5:2 diet, and consists of eating normally for five days of a week and cutting calories to about 25 percent of normal intake during other two days. Men consume just 600 calories on the two fast days, while women are limited to 500 calories.

Notably, the two fasting days should not be back-to-back. The dieter should have at least one normal eating day in between.

In the best-selling book The Fast Diet: Lose Weight, Stay Healthy, and Live Longer with the Simple Secret of Intermittent (断断续续的) Fasting by Dr. Michael Mosley and Mimi Spencer, the two authors claim that the 5:2 diet not only promotes weight loss, but also benefits health, offering protection from disease, improved cognitive (认知的) function and increased lifespan.

The diet originated in the United Kingdom and became popular in the United States. Now, it is gaining popularity among the Chinese middle-class.

Zhong Minghui, who is 178 cm tall and used to weigh 100 kilograms, finds fasting effective in weight control. He works in the sales department of a trade company and used to drink and eat a lot after work. After sticking to the fasting diet for five months, he managed to lose about 20 kilograms.

“Actually I did not exactly rely on the 5:2 diet to lose weight. My fasting was more extreme. I almost completely cut off my supper every day and only ate some fruit. I also used an app to calculate the calories in the food I ate and was cautious of not eating any high-calorie food. I did about an hour’s aerobic exercise (有氧运动) every day. Fasting is definitely effective, but I think sports also help,” he says.

“I do not really believe that fasting is the magical cure-all (灵丹妙药), but my high blood sugar has improved,” he adds.

The US Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics says that although there is evidence that intermittent fasting diets may help prevent chronic disease, more research is needed.

Han Ting, a clinic nutritionist of Shanghai Tenth People’s Hospital, says that people who suffer diabetes (糖尿病) or eating disorders, pregnant women, kids, teens and frail seniors should not try fasting. She recommends a regular low-calorie diet, which is safer and less risky for health. When on a fasting diet, on the weekly fasting days, Han recommends low-fat, low-sugar, and low-protein food, such as vegetables, yogurt, non-fat milk, shellfish and fruits with high dietary fiber (食用纤维).

1.What does the underlined word “back-to-back” in paragraph 4 mean?

A. Continuous.　　　　　　 B. Different.

C. Vegetarian.　　 　　　　 D. Fatty.

2.What can we infer from what Zhong Minghui said in paragraph 8?

A. He strictly relied on the 5:2 diet to lose weight.

B. He used an app to calculate how much sport he played.

C. Fasting and sports helped him a lot when he lost weight.

D. In order to lose weight he used to do gymnastic exercise.

3.What is the main idea of the last paragraph?

A. Han thinks people who suffer diabetes should try a fasting diet.

B. A clinic nutritionist says that it’s safer to have a low-calorie diet.

C. Han Ting recommends that everyone should have a fasting diet.

D. Hang Ting says only a fasting diet can help people keep healthy.

4.Which is the best title of the passage?

A. Fast diet　　　 　　　　　　　 B. How to stay thin

C. Eating to stay healthy　　 D. The magical cure-all
