Family vlogging — the frequent recording and uploading of personal videos of the family, usually on video sharing website — has become big business nowadays, especially among parents of young children. The more viewers such videos can get, the more money the family can make. At first thought, it does seem like an easy way to make money. However, are we doing right by putting their lives up for public attention?
For one thing, as the children grow up, they increasingly become aware that what they do needs to be admirable enough for the public to enjoy — Being young children, they also would want to do whatever it takes to please others. They then feel the pressure to be perfect, and as that is something not always possible, they become anxious and stressed. Comments from viewers and the expectations of sponsors (赞助者) can also affect the parents’ reactions towards their children.
Another problem is the lack of privacy in the children’s lives. As the children reach adolescence, there is a greaser need for personal space. At 12 or 13, very few children would appreciate being filmed while eating or having a conversation with their friends. Teenhood is a time of significant change in an individual, both physically and emotionally, and is a time when parents need to protect their children and guide them, instead of exposing them to the eyes of the public.
Family vlogging can be irresistible, given how it allows parents to bring greater fun to their family lives. There is also the easy money and the fame to look forward to. Indeed, all would probably go well, but only as long as parents keep in mind that, if not managed well, making their children live their lives in the unforgiving eyes of the public could prove to be a big mistake.
4. How does vlogging about children’s lives influence the family?
A. Children will get used to public attention.
B. Children may suffer from too much pressure.
C. Parents may show no concern for their children.
D. Parents become addicted to exposing their children to the public.
5. How does the writer mainly develop his argument?
A. By providing examples B. By listing numbers
C. By making comparisons D. By analyzing causes
6. What’s the writer’s purpose of writing the text?
A. To introduce a new big business
B. To show how vlogging influence people’s lives.
C. To persuade parents to watch out for comments from viewers.
D. To convince parents of the danger of vlogging about children’s lives.
7. What’s the writer’s attitude to vlogging about children’s lives?
A. negative B. positive C. neutral D. uninterested
C
You’ve probably eaten a hot dog and felt like the underdog — but have you ever spotted a sundog?
A sundog is a weather event that causes two bright bursts of rainbow colored light to appear on either side of the sun. It is located approximately 22 degrees either left, right, or both, from the sun, depending on where the ice crystals (冰晶体) are. If the sun were a clock, you would see them around 3 o’clock and 9 o’clock. Sometimes sundogs appear with a halo (光环) around the sun. They can be very beautiful, with a reddish glow closest to the sun and a bluish white center. Sundogs can be seen during any season but are most often seen during the winter months when the sun is lower in the sky. You are also more likely to see them early or late in the day, when the sun is near the horizon (地平线).The most brilliant sundogs happen on sunny days.
Conditions need to be just right for sundogs to appear. Sunlight passes through high, cold cirrus clouds (卷云). These clouds contain flat, 6-sided ice crystals. If the plate-like crystals go toward the ground horizontally with the large face towards the earth, light is reflected through the sides. The crystals act as prisms (棱镜), separating the light and making the sundog.
Throughout history, sundogs have been used to predict weather because they often indicate that snow or rain is on its way. Some people believed that sundogs were a sign of good luck or encouragement, while others saw them as a warning from God.
Famous authors such as William Shakespeare and Jack London have described sundogs in stories and poems as both frightening and amazing. Artists have been inspired to catch the beauty of sundogs in drawings, paintings, and photography, and rock bands have even written songs about them.
8. What can we learn about sundogs from the second paragraph?
A. Sundogs can be used to tell the time. B. Sundogs are most common in winter.
C. Sundogs always come after a rainbow. D. Sundogs predict the coming of sunny days.
9. In which situation will sundogs come into being?
A. The clouds separate the sunlight.
B. The plate turns its face towards the earth.
C. The crystals go toward the ground horizontally.
D Ice crystals are positioned with their flat sides horizontal to the ground.
10. Why do people use sundogs to predict weather?
A. Because people think they stand for bad luck B. Because sundogs are beyond their recognition.
C. Because a rain or snow often comes after them. D. Because people consider it as a warning from God.
11. Why does the author mention Shakespeare and Jack London?
A. To prove sundogs are magical events.
B. To show sundogs have long attracted great attention.
C. To encourage writers to describe sundogs in their works.
D. To remind people that they are good at writing stories and poems
D
Humans have many unique behaviors among animals. For example, we have a formal language that permits communication about things that exist in the past, present, and future. Yet we share at least one emotion with many other species fear.
To really understand our fears we have to go further to study how animals long before humans came into being assessed (评估) and managed predation (捕食) risk in the wild. All animals, past and present, must assess life-threatening predation risks (风险) and make decisions to avoid or otherwise manage those risks. It is a proper balance: being too fearful is costly if fear means that you miss out on getting food, mates, or other important resources. However, being too brazen could end very poorly indeed. It is the context that influences all decisions. If they’re hungry, it’s wise to take more risks or they will go hungry. And, if they’re powerful and can steal food from others at will, perhaps it’s OK to be a bit more careful. Successful individuals are those that make right assessment, and because of this, leave more descendants.
Natural expressions of fear influence the structure of ecological communities, and the removal of predators changes entire ecosystems. To manage predation risks, animals modify(调整) their activity patterns, habitat selection, and their diet. Fear of predators can also reduce an individual’s reproductive(繁殖)success. All of these fear-driven modifications can have a great influence on both the environment and the diversity of many species. Fear, as it turns out, is an essential part of healthy ecosystems and helps keep biodiversity.
Fear is a natural emotion, and that it’s impossible to completely avoid it. It is comforting to know that fear comes from a long line of ancestors, both human and nonhuman. It is a compass(指南针)that, when used I properly, guides us away from danger and toward opportunity.
12. What do we know about animals’ risk assessment and management according to paragraph 2?
A. Animals are too fearful to make right assessments.
B. Animals will fail to get food when they are fearful.
C. Animals have to make proper decisions based on different situations.
D. Animals which arc more fearful are more likely to make right assessment.
13. What does the underlined word “brazen“ mean in paragraph 2?
A. brave B. afraid C. hungry D. strong
14. What is paragraph 3 mainly about?
A. The ways animals manage fear
B. The influence fear has on ecosystem
C. The approaches to keeping a healthy ecosystem
D. The problems fear brings about to the ecosystem
15. Which of the following is a suitable title for the text?
A. Fear from Our Deep Past B. Survival of the bravest
C. Emotion from human and nonhuman. D. Path to risk management

Family vlogging — the frequent recording and uploading of personal videos of the family, usually on video sharing website — has become big business nowadays, especially among parents of young children. The more viewers such videos can get, the more money the family can make. At first thought, it does seem like an easy way to make money. However, are we doing right by putting their lives up for public attention?
For one thing, as the children grow up, they increasingly become aware that what they do needs to be admirable enough for the public to enjoy — Being young children, they also would want to do whatever it takes to please others. They then feel the pressure to be perfect, and as that is something not always possible, they become anxious and stressed. Comments from viewers and the expectations of sponsors (赞助者) can also affect the parents’ reactions towards their children.
Another problem is the lack of privacy in the children’s lives. As the children reach adolescence, there is a greaser need for personal space. At 12 or 13, very few children would appreciate being filmed while eating or having a conversation with their friends. Teenhood is a time of significant change in an individual, both physically and emotionally, and is a time when parents need to protect their children and guide them, instead of exposing them to the eyes of the public.
Family vlogging can be irresistible, given how it allows parents to bring greater fun to their family lives. There is also the easy money and the fame to look forward to. Indeed, all would probably go well, but only as long as parents keep in mind that, if not managed well, making their children live their lives in the unforgiving eyes of the public could prove to be a big mistake.
4. How does vlogging about children’s lives influence the family?
A. Children will get used to public attention.
B. Children may suffer from too much pressure.
C. Parents may show no concern for their children.
D. Parents become addicted to exposing their children to the public.
5. How does the writer mainly develop his argument?
A. By providing examples B. By listing numbers
C. By making comparisons D. By analyzing causes
6. What’s the writer’s purpose of writing the text?
A. To introduce a new big business
B. To show how vlogging influence people’s lives.
C. To persuade parents to watch out for comments from viewers.
D. To convince parents of the danger of vlogging about children’s lives.
7. What’s the writer’s attitude to vlogging about children’s lives?
A. negative B. positive C. neutral D. uninterested
【答案】4. B 5. D 6. D 7. A
【解析】

(一方面,随着孩子们的成长,他们越来越意识到他们所做的事情需要足够令人钦佩,以供公众欣赏——作为孩子,他们也会想尽一切办法取悦别人。然后,他们会感到要完美的压力,因为这并不总是可能的,他们变得焦虑和压力。)”可知,孩子们为了取悦于公众,他们会感到要完美的压力,从而变得焦虑和压力,所以关于孩子的视频博客会让孩子感到很大的压力。故选B项。

You’ve probably eaten a hot dog and felt like the underdog — but have you ever spotted a sundog?
A sundog is a weather event that causes two bright bursts of rainbow colored light to appear on either side of the sun. It is located approximately 22 degrees either left, right, or both, from the sun, depending on where the ice crystals (冰晶体) are. If the sun were a clock, you would see them around 3 o’clock and 9 o’clock. Sometimes sundogs appear with a halo (光环) around the sun. They can be very beautiful, with a reddish glow closest to the sun and a bluish white center. Sundogs can be seen during any season but are most often seen during the winter months when the sun is lower in the sky. You are also more likely to see them early or late in the day, when the sun is near the horizon (地平线).The most brilliant sundogs happen on sunny days.
Conditions need to be just right for sundogs to appear. Sunlight passes through high, cold cirrus clouds (卷云). These clouds contain flat, 6-sided ice crystals. If the plate-like crystals go toward the ground horizontally with the large face towards the earth, light is reflected through the sides. The crystals act as prisms (棱镜), separating the light and making the sundog.
Throughout history, sundogs have been used to predict weather because they often indicate that snow or rain is on its way. Some people believed that sundogs were a sign of good luck or encouragement, while others saw them as a warning from God.
Famous authors such as William Shakespeare and Jack London have described sundogs in stories and poems as both frightening and amazing. Artists have been inspired to catch the beauty of sundogs in drawings paintings, and photography, and rock bands have even written songs about them.
8. What can we learn about sundogs from the second paragraph?
A. Sundogs can be used to tell the time. B. Sundogs are most common in winter.
C. Sundogs always come after a rainbow. D. Sundogs predict the coming of sunny days.
9. In which situation will sundogs come into being?
A. The clouds separate the sunlight.
B. The plate turns its face towards the earth.
C. The crystals go toward the ground horizontally.
D. Ice crystals are positioned with their flat sides horizontal to the ground.
10. Why do people use sundogs to predict weather?
A. Because people think they stand for bad luck B. Because sundogs are beyond their recognition.
C. Because a rain or snow often comes after them. D. Because people consider it as a warning from God.
11. Why does the author mention Shakespeare and Jack London?
A. To prove sundogs are magical events.
B. To show sundogs have long attracted great attention.
C. To encourage writers to describe sundogs in their works.
D. To remind people that they are good at writing stories and poems
【答案】8. B 9. D 10. C 11. B
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍的是一种罕见的大气光学现象——幻日,介绍了它的形成原理和形成条件等。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中的“Sundogs can be seen during any season but are most often seen during the winter months when the sun is lower in the sky.(在任何季节都可以看到幻日,但最常见的是在太阳较低的冬季。)”可知,幻日在任何季节都会出现,但在冬季是最常见的。故选B项。
9题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段中的“If the plate-like crystals go toward the ground horizontally with the large face towards the earth, light is reflected through the sides. The crystals act as prisms (棱镜), separating the light and making the sundog.(如果片状晶体水平朝向地面,大面朝向地球,光线会从侧面反射。晶体充当棱镜,分离光线并制造出幻日。)”可知,冰晶垂直向下,平坦的侧面与地面平行,此时晶体充当棱镜,反射太阳光线,从而产生幻日现行,所以,冰晶的侧面与地面平行是形成幻日的条件。故选D项。
【10题详解】
细节理解题。根据倒数第二段中的“Throughout history, sundogs have been used to predict weather because they often indicate that snow or rain is on its way.(纵观历史,幻日一直被用来预测天气,因为它们经常预示着雪或雨即将来临。)”可知,历史上人们用幻日预测天气,是因为它们的出现预示着要下雨或下雪,也就是雨或雪就在幻日之后出现。故选C项。
【11题详解】
推理判断题。根据尾段中的“Famous authors such as William Shakespeare and Jack London have described sundogs in stories and poems as both frightening and amazing.(威廉·莎士比亚(William Shakespeare)和杰克·伦敦(Jack London)等著名作家在故事和诗歌中将幻日描述为既可怕又令人惊奇。)”可知,莎士比亚与杰克·伦敦分别是十六世纪和十九世纪的作家,他们的作品中都有关于幻日的描述,由此可知,幻日现象由来已久,所以,文章提到他们是为了说明幻日现象长期以来被人们关注。故选B项。
D
Humans have many unique behaviors among animals. For example, we have a formal language that permits communication about things that exist in the past, present, and future. Yet we share at least one emotion with many other species fear.
To really understand our fears we have to go further to study how animals long before humans came into being assessed (评估) and managed predation (捕食) risk in the wild. All animals, past and present, must assess life-threatening predation risks (风险) and make decisions to avoid or otherwise manage those risks. It is a proper balance: being too fearful is costly if fear means that you miss out on getting food, mates, or other important resources. However, being too brazen could end very poorly indeed. It is the context that influences all decisions. If they’re hungry, it’s wise to take more risks or they will go hungry. And, if they’re powerful and can steal food from others at will, perhaps it’s OK to be a bit more careful. Successful individuals are those that make right assessment, and because of this, leave more descendants.
Natural expressions of fear influence the structure of ecological communities, and the removal of predators changes entire ecosystems. To manage predation risks, animals modify(调整) their activity patterns, habitat selection, and their diet. Fear of predators can also reduce an individual’s reproductive(繁殖)success. All of these fear-driven modifications can have a great influence on both the environment and the diversity of many species. Fear, as it turns out, is an essential part of healthy ecosystems and helps keep biodiversity.
Fear is a natural emotion, and that it’s impossible to completely avoid it. It is comforting to know that fear comes from a long line of ancestors, both human and nonhuman. It is a compass(指南针)that, when used I properly, guides us away from danger and toward opportunity.
12. What do we know about animals’ risk assessment and management according to paragraph 2?
A. Animals are too fearful to make right assessments.
B. Animals will fail to get food when they are fearful.
C. Animals have to make proper decisions based on different situations.
D. Animals which arc more fearful are more likely to make right assessment.
13. What does the underlined word “brazen“ mean in paragraph 2?
A. brave B. afraid C. hungry D. strong
14. What is paragraph 3 mainly about?
A. The ways animals manage fear
B. The influence fear has on ecosystem
C. The approaches to keeping a healthy ecosystem
D. The problems fear brings about to the ecosystem
15. Which of the following is a suitable title for the text?
A. Fear from Our Deep Past B. Survival of the bravest
C. Emotion from human and nonhuman. D. Path to risk management
【答案】12. C 13. A 14. B 15. A
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要说明了人类和其他物种都有恐惧的情感,说明了恐惧是如何帮助动物在野外评估和管理捕食风险的以及恐惧对于人类社会的作用和影响。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“To really understand our fears we have to go further to study how animals long before humans came into being assessed (评估) and managed predation (捕食) risk in the wild. All animals, past and present, must assess life-threatening predation risks (风险) and make decisions to avoid or otherwise manage those risks. It is a proper balance: being too fearful is costly if fear means that you miss out on getting food, mates, or other important resources. However, being too brazen could end very poorly indeed. (为了真正理解我们的恐惧,我们必须进一步研究在人类出现之前,动物是如何在野外评估和管理捕食风险的。所有的动物,无论是过去还是现在,都必须评估威胁生命的捕食风险,并做出避免或以其他方式管理这些风险的决定。这是一种适当的平衡:如果恐惧意味着你错过了获得食物、伴侣或其他重要资源,那么过于恐惧是代价高昂的。然而,太过勇敢可能会导致非常糟糕的结果)”可知,动物必须根据不同的情况做出正确的决定。故选C。
【13题详解】
词句猜测题。根据划线词上文“being too fearful is costly if fear means that you miss out on getting food, mates, or other important resources(如果恐惧意味着你错过了获得食物、伴侣或其他重要资源,那么过于恐惧是代价高昂的)”以及后文“could end very poorly indeed”结合however表示转折,说明太胆小害怕会得不到重要资源,付出高昂的代价,但太过勇敢,无所畏惧则会导致糟糕的结果。故划线词意思是“勇敢的”。故选A。
【14题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第三段“Natural expressions of fear influence the structure of ecological communities, and the removal of predators changes entire ecosystems. To manage predation risks, animals modify(调整) their activity patterns, habitat selection, and their diet. Fear of predators can also reduce an individual’s reproductive(繁殖)success. All of these fear-driven modifications can have a great influence on both the environment and the diversity of many species. Fear, as it turns out, is an essential part of healthy ecosystems and helps keep biodiversity.(恐惧的自然表达会影响生态群落的结构,而捕食者的消失会改变整个生态系统。为了控制被捕食的风险,动物会改变它们的活动模式、栖息地选择和饮食。对捕食者的恐惧也会降低个体的繁殖成功率。所有这些恐惧驱动的改变对环境和许多物种的多样性都有很大的影响。事实证明,恐惧是健康生态系统的重要组成部分,有助于保持生物多样性)”可知,第三段的主要内容是恐惧对生态系统的影响。故选B。
【15题详解】
主旨大意题。根据最后一段“Fear is a natural emotion, and that it’s impossible to completely avoid it. It is comforting to know that fear comes from a long line of ancestors, both human and nonhuman. It is a compass(指南针)that, when used I properly, guides us away from danger and toward opportunity.(恐惧是一种自然的情绪,不可能完全避免它。令人欣慰的是,恐惧来自人类和非人类的悠久祖先。它是一个指南针,如果使用得当,可以指引我们远离危险,走向机遇)”结合文章主要说明了人类和其他物种都有恐惧的情感,说明了恐惧是如何帮助动物在野外评估和管理捕食风险的以及恐惧对于人类社会的作用和影响。可知,A选项“来自我们久远过去的恐惧”最符合文章标题。故选A。
