A The blooming of social media and interactive smartphone-based apps has proved that e-marketing is an unchangeable trend. In the case of China, the latest battlefield is beauty camera apps, which have become an overnight hit in the West. 1. MeituPic此卷只装订不密封班级 姓名 准考证号 考场号 座位号Developed by the Xiamen-based Meitu Inc, MeituPic is the company’s flagship beauty camera app and was the first to become a big hit among Western users. The app has drawn some 456 million users, who use it to post more than 6 billion photos every month.In addition to MeituPic, Meitu Inc has developed a series of beauty camera apps such as Beauty Plus, Poster Labs and Meipai, each specializing in facial feature improvement, video editing and many other features.2. PituTian Tian Pi Tu, is a beauty app developed by China’s Internet giant Tencent. Similar to other photo-editing apps, Pitu offers a number of beautifying filters, blemish（瑕疵）removing tools and virtual makeup choices for users to choose from.Launched in 2014, Pitu has accumulated 106 million monthly active users (MAUs). While the number is not as impressive as that of Meitu’s apps, some argue that the user base of Tencent’s gaming products and chat applications, such as QQ and WeChat, gives Pitu great potential for further growth. According to Chinese app watchers, Pitu’s target audience is younger and more individualized than that of MeituPic. 80 percent of Pitu’s users are younger than 25, giving the app more room to try out more new features.3. FaceUIn contrast with most other beauty apps, FaceU, focuses more on the social feature, encouraging users to video chat with friends and even strangers while playing with its fun stickers (贴纸) —and the strategy is undoubtedly working.Launched in 2016, the app, which mainly targets female users between 15 and 35, has twice made it onto the Apple store’s Chart for top apps.21. Meitu Inc has developed a series of beauty camera apps except ______.A. Meipai.B. MeituPic.C. Tian Tian Pi Tu.D. Beauty Plus.22. What gives Tian Tian Pi Tu more room to grow potentially?A. The amount of Meitu Apps’s potential users.B. Users of Tencent’s gaming products and chat apps.C. The various kinds of photo-editing functions.D. The room to try out more new features.23. According to the passage, what do the three Apps have in common?A. They mainly target young users.B. They all launched in 2016.C. They specialize in photo editing.D. They are popular and hot.BTencent announced yesterday that it will limit the daily time for youngsters to play its popular King of Glory game after parents and schools in Shanghai and other areas complained their children had become addicted to playing it.From tomorrow, children younger than 12 will only be allowed to play the game for a maximum(最大值) of one hour a day, and after 9 pm, they will be banned from logging into it, said Tencent. Those older than 12 will be able to play a maximum two hours a day.The game system will remind players the time they have been playing and young players will be forced to log out when the time is up.Tencent claimed these were the strictest measures in China’s game industry to prevent addiction and the company expected they would ease parents’anxiety.The company also said it had updated its system for parents to keep tabs on their children using its games.Since February, parents can receive messages when children log in and spend money on the game after they connect children’s game accounts with their mobile phone numbers.Now, parents can connect phones, tablets or computers that their children use to play games, so that they can keep an eye on the children even if they have several game accounts, Tencent said.Song Zhe, a father of a Shanghai high school student, welcomed the measures but was not sure if they would be sufficiently effective. “I like the system that could lock up the devices as children can register many accounts,”he said, “but children are so clever that they can always think out counter measures.”24. What can we infer from Paragraph 2?A. Kids under 11 could play the game for at most 7 hours in a week.B. Girls under 8 are able to log in the game at 10 pm.C. Those older than 16 are able to play the game all the time.D. Children over 13 can log in the game after playing 3 hours in a day.25.

Parents need to connect their tablets or computers to the game accounts of their children.C. Parents can be reminded of the time their children have been playing the games.D. Parents should pay attention to their phones all the time in case they miss any message.27. What did Song Zhe’s father think of the game system?A. The game system was absolutely welcomed by him.B. Children were too dull to break out of the system.C. He was uncertain about the effectiveness of the system.D. Children could register lots of accounts to unlock the devices.COn any given weekend, the Washington, D.C., public library system offers nearly a dozen classes. You can try Matt Mcentee’s class, where he’ll teach you how to fix anything from a clock to a broken heart in person.I decided to check out a small class early one morning. It’s called Homebuying 101. T oday, there are about 10 adults ranging in age from their mid-20s to early 50s—finding their seats.In the second row, Whenna Andrews, 28, already has her notebook out.I ask Andrews why she came to a class at the library, instead of learning how to buy a home online. “This is going to be my first time buying a home and I have a lot of questions,”Andrews answers. “I feel like if I’m reading by myself online I can get lost in the information.”Andrews’decision to learn in a traditional classroom is still the preferred choice for adults, according to a new study by the Pew Research Center.Pew looked at nearly 3,000 people, aged 18 and older. Pew wanted to know how, and where, adults learn, after they leave their formal schooling.“Learning is still very much a place-based thing,”says Pew researcher John Horrigan. “The Internet plays a role, but it’s secondary in most respects.”For the 74 percent of adults who considered themselves to be personal learners, only a third turned to the Internet for most or all of their learning.The study also found differences when it comes to education and income level. For those with a bachelor’s degree, technology is helping. But for those with just a high school diploma, it’s not playing as big a role. The study even found that many weren’t aware of online resources like lots of open online courses or learning tools like Khan Academy.Whenna Andrews knows about those things —she even found the homebuyers class on Facebook. But she prefers learning in person.28. What can we learn about Matt Mcentee?A. He only teaches online classes.B. He is a science teacher.C. He knows how to break people’s heart.D. You can learn a lot in his class.29. For Andrews, the online information about homebuying seems .A. valuableB. incorrectC. confusingD. out-of-date30. What does Andrews think of the classes the library offers?A. She looks forward to them.B. She shows no interest in them.C. She thinks they should be improved.D. She thinks there is no market for them.31. The text mainly discusses .A. the development of online coursesB. the important role technology playsC. the leading way of lifelong learning is traditionally basedD. the roles of the public library systemDWilliam Curry is a serious climate scientist, not an art critic. But he has spent a lot of time on Emanuel Leutze’s famous painting “George Washington Crossing the Delaware,”which describes a boatload of colonial American soldiers making their way to attack English the day after Christmas in 1776. “Most people think these otherguys in the boat are rowing, but they are actually pushing the ice away,”says Curry, tapping his finger on the painting. Sure enough, the lead sailor is breaking the frozen river with his boot. “I grew up in the Philadelphia. The place in this painting is 30 minutes away by car. I can tell you, this kind of thing just doesn’t happen anymore.”But it may again soon. And ice-choked scenes may also return to Europe. The 16th-century painter Pieter’s works, including the 1565 masterpiece “Hunters in the Snow,”make the now-temperate European landscapes look more like Lapland. Such frigid settings were commonplace during a period dating roughly from 1300 to 1850 because much of North America and Europe was in the pain of a little ice age. And now there is increasing evidence that the cold could return. A growing number of scientists believe conditions are right for another lasted cooldown, or small ice age. While no one is predicting an ice sheet like the one that covered the Northern Hemisphere with glaciers about 12,000 years ago, the next cooling trend could drop average temperatures 5 degrees over much of the United States and 10 degrees in the Northeast, northern Europe, and northern Asia.Political changes since the last ice age could make survival far more difficult for the world’s poor. During previous cooling periods, these people simply picked up and moved south, but that doesn’t work in the modem world, of closed borders. “T o the extent the climate change may cause rapid and extensive changes of fortune for those who live off the land, the inability to migrate may remove one of the major safety homelands for pitiful people,”says the report.32. The writer uses paintings in the first paragraph to sayA. impossible future climate change.B. climate change of the last two centuries.C. the river doesn’t freeze in winter anymore.D. how George Washington led his troops across the river.33. Which of the following do scientists believe to be possible?A. The temperature may drop over much of the Northern Hemisphere.B. It will be colder than 12,000 years ago.C. The entire Northern Hemisphere will be covered in ice.D. Europe will look more like Lapland.34. Why is it difficult for the poor to survive the next age?A. People don’t live in tribes anymore.B. Politics are changing too fast today.C. Climate change causes people live off the land.D. Migration has become impossible because of closed borders.35. What is the best title of the passage?A. A New Ice Age.B. The Effect of Ice Age.C. Prediction about the Ice Age.D. Political and Climate Change.第二节（共 5 小题，每小题 2 分，满分10 分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，选项中有两项为多余选项。
