2 For several months Cara has been trying to work up courage to approach her mom about what she saw on Weibo Not long ago the 11yearold girl like most of the other kids discovered that her mom had been posting her photos for much of her life I've wanted to bring it up It's strange to see myself up there and sometimes there are pictures of myself I don't like she said
Like most other modem kids Cara grew up immersed (深陷) in social media While many kids may not yet have accounts themselves their parents schools and sports teams have been building the online presence for them since their birth The shock of realizing that details about your life have been shared online without your permission or knowledge has become an important experience in the lives of many teenagers Recently a parenting blogger wrote in an essay that despite her 14yearold daughter's horror of discovering that her mother had shared years of highly personal stories and information about her online she simply could not stop posting them on her blog and other social media The writer said that promising her daughter that she would stop posting things about her publicly on the Internet would mean shutting down a vital part of herself which wouldn't be necessarily good for herself or her daughter
But it's not just crazy mommy bloggers who construct their children's online identity plenty of average parents do the same There's even a special word for it sharenting Almost a quarter of children begin their digital lives when parents upload their photos to the Internet according to a study The study also found that 92 percent of kids under the age of 2 already have their own unique digital identity
1How does Cara probably feel about her mom's behavior
A It's joyful B It's appropriate C It's annoying D It's favorable
2Why did the parenting blogger post things about her daughter online
A Because it could fill up her blog
B Because it meant a lot to her
C Because it was to record her stories
D Because it was to show off her success
3 Who are fond of sharenting
A A quarter of children
B Most ordinary parents
C Kids above the age of 14
D All crazy bloggers
3 Returning to a book you've read many times can feel like drinks with an old friend There's a welcome familiarity — but also sometimes a slight suspicion that time has changed you both and thus the relationship But books don't change people do And that's what makes the act of rereading so rich and transformative
The beauty of rereading lies in the idea that our bond with the work is based on our present mental register It's true the older I get the more I feel time has wings But with reading it's all about the present It's about the now and what one contributes to the now because reading is a give and take between author and reader Each has to pull their own weight
There are three books I reread annually The first which I take to reading every spring is Ernest Hemingway's A Moveable Feast Published in 1964 it's his classic memoir of 1920s Paris The language is almost intoxicating(令陶醉) an aging writer looking back on an ambitious yet simpler time Another is Annie Dillard's Holy the Firm her poetic 1975 ramble (笔) about everything and nothing The third book is Julio Cortázar's Save Twilight Selected Poems because poetry And because Cortázar
While I tend to buy a lot of books these three were given to me as gifts which might add to the meaning I attach to them But I imagine that while money is indeed wonderful and necessary rereading an author's work is the highest currency a reader can pay them The best books are the ones that open further as time passes But remember it's you that has to grow and read and reread in order to better understand your friends
1Why does the author like rereading
AIt evaluates the writerreader relationship BIt's a window to a whole new world
CIt's a substitute for drinking with a friend DIt extends the understanding of oneself
2What do we know about the book A Moveable Feasts
AIt's a brief account of a trip BIt's about Hemingway's life as a young man
CIt's a record of a historic event DIt's about Hemingway's friends in Paris
3What does the underlined word currency in paragraph 4 refer to
ADebt BReward CAllowance DFace value
4What can we infer about the author from the text
AHe loves poetry BHe's an editor CHe's very ambitious DHe teaches reading
4 As global temperatures rise trees around the world are experiencing longer growing seasons sometimes as much as three extra weeks a year All that time helps trees grow faster For the past 100 years trees have been experiencing fast growth in mild areas from Maryland to Finland to Central Europe where the growth rate of some trees has even sped up by nearly 77 since 1870 Supposing wood were just as strong today those gains would mean more wood for building burning and storing carbon captured from the atmosphere But is wood really as dense(茂密) as it used to be
Hans Pretzsch a forest scientist at the Technical University of Munich in Germany and his colleagues wanted to find an answer They carried out a study of the forests of Central Europe They started with small pieces of experimental land in southern Germany some of which have been continuously monitored since 1870 Pretzsch and his team took core samples (样品) from the trees — which included Norway spruce sessile oak European beech and Scots pine — and analyzed the tree rings using a highfrequency probe
They found that in all four species wood density had decreased by 8 to 12 We expected a trend of the wood density like this but not such a strong and significant decrease Pretzsch says Increasing temperatures and the faster growth they spur probably account for some of the drop Another factor Pretzsch says is more nitrogen in the soil from agricultural fertilizer and vehicle exhaust Previous studies have linked increased fertilizer use to decreased wood density Above all the study suggests that the higher temperatures — combined with pollution from car exhaust and farms — are making wood weaker resulting in trees that break more easily and wood that is less durable
I am getting worried says Richard Houghton an ecologist at the Woods Hole Research Center in Falmouth Massachusetts who was not part of the new study As the density of the samples dropped so did their carbon content That means forests may suffer more damage from storms and may be less efficient at soaking up(吸收) the greenhouse gas carbon dioxide (CO2) than scientists think Houghton says
1Paragraph 1 is written to _________
Aprove an idea Bintroduce the topic Cgive an example Ddescribe a fact
2What does the study show
AFarming slows trees' growth BMore areas are covered with forests
CClimate warming changes the quality of wood DPollution leads to higher temperatures
3What does Richard Houghton mean
AGreat loss might be caused BStorm damage can be prevented
CThe size of forests might be increased DLess greenhouse gases can be sent out
4What is the best title for the passage
AWe only have one earth BTrees — our best friends
CThe influence of climate change DTrees are growing faster but weaker

I wasn't the most popular kid in my first year of high school not even close to I was not interested in fashion I preferred reading to sports and I had difficulty talking to boys As a result the first year of high school had not been kind to me I had no close friends
The girl Ashley was very different from me She was fashionable and she was very artistic listening to bands I had never heard of She was quite popular We were always in the same classes throughout school but didn't talk much
During summer school the teacher asked us to pair up(结组工作) on a school project Ashley didn't seem to like working with me at first but she gave in I guessed it was because none of her cool friends were in the class We met at the library to work on the project Ashley did most of the talking We sat by each other the rest of the summer and when classes ended we continued to hang out
I admired Ashley she was the kind of person I thought I wanted to be I began to wear the clothes she wore I quit reading and started watching the TV programs that Ashley watched I decided to take an art class though I had really wanted to take the theatre When we started school again I met Ashley's group of friends the cool girls She was the leader of the group To fit in with the group I followed them around laughing at their jokes and agreeing with their opinions I actually disagreed with But I didn't say much
One day I went to join the group again They were chatting without noticing my arrival One girl said Ashley she just follows you around trying to be you She copies you she doesn't have her own personality (性) Ashley replied I wish she could find the group she actually belongs to I was shocked and sad I thought I had fit in with them
