In China, there are usually two reasons why people receive messages from friends and relatives from whom t hey haven't heard for a while. The first is about New Y ear greetings, which are always welcome. The second reason is often unpleasant, however; people are increasingly contacting long-lost friends, or even casual acquaintances, and urging them to cast online votes for their children or grandchildren in competitions.

The practice, which has been growing rapidly, has now reached the point where

people are becoming tired and may even feel annoyed.

The results of a recent survey conducted by the Jinhua Evening News in East China's Zhejiang Province show that 94 percent of 384 interviewees were once asked by friends or relatives to cast votes online for their children. The contests range from the “cutest baby” to dancing competitions, but in many cases the people

receiving the messages haven't heard from the sender for a long time and have never met the child involved.

Although the competitions may appear to be harmless fun, some education professionals are concerned that they could have a negative effect on children.

Tang Sulan, a member of the CPPCC's National Committee (全国政协委员会), proposed a ban on online competitions featuring children to prevent future psychological issues. She was also concerned that public disclosure of a child's

personal information and publication of photos cause a potential risk to the child's safety.

Li Hongyan, the mother of an 11-year-old girl and an 18-month-old boy in Beijing, said she has never urged others to vote for her children. Although on the surface

the children are competing among themselves via their parents' social networks, the competitions are also about parents seeking a “sense of victory”　for themselves, she said. “It feels as though parents are using their babies as tools to win glory for themselves, rather than truly respecting their kids' dignity and nature.”　However, despite her dislike of the contests, she has twice voted for the babies

of close friends because “it would be embarrassing to say no”．

体裁：议论文题材：社会文化主题：网上拉票

【语篇导读】本文介绍了最近社会上常见的一种现象，有些家长为了给孩子在网上拉票，可谓不择手段，甚至要求不常联系的朋友和不熟悉的朋友投票。这种现象已让越来越多的人感到厌烦和恼怒。文章通过《金华晚报》对这一现象的调查进行了分析。

1．What is the best title for the text?

A．Receiving Messages: An Unhappy Experience

B．To Say No: An Embarrassing Experience

C．A Dilemma: Vote or Not

D．Child's Safety and Casting Votes Online

解析：C 主旨大意题。纵观全文可知，一些专家提到这种现象会对孩子产生消极的影

响，但最后一段谈到如果你拒绝朋友的投票要求，会非常尴尬。因此，“投还是不投？”是一个进退两难的困境。故选C项。

2．What does the underlined word “disclosure” in Paragraph 5 probably mean?

A．Exposure. B．Concern.

C．Reputation. D．Competition.

解析：A 词义猜测题。这里表达的意思是：一名政协委员担心公开曝光孩子的个人信

息和照片会对孩子的安全造成潜在的风险。根据词根closure(关闭；倒闭；暂时封闭)，再结合前缀dis-(表示相反或否定)及语境可猜测出，disclosure意思是“透露的信息；披露”，与exposure“揭露；暴露”意义相近。故选A项。

3．What can be inferred from Li Hongyan's words?

A．Her children don't want to join in those online competitions.

B．She urges people to vote for the babies of her close friends.

C．She agrees to bring the children to their parents' social networks.

D．She opposes the idea of parents seeking votes for children.

解析：D 推理判断题。根据文章最后一段第一句．.. never urged others to vote for her children.和最后一句However, despite her dislike of the contests...可知，李红艳反对父母给孩子拉选票这种现象。故选D项。

When I was in college, I spent a semester studying abroad at the University of

Strathclyde in Glasgow, Scotland. In my brief time there, I came to love Scotland

for its local culture, food and scenery.

You might think, “Scotland isn't so different from t he US; they still speak English there！”　But when I stepped off the plane, I was greeted by a gruff-voiced (声音粗哑的) lady at customs. “You'll be coming from America, then？” She asked
