Prtia Kapraun has always seen unwelcme ads n Twitter, usually frm majr brands pitching (竭力推销) her expensive jewelry r vehicles that she, as a librarian in Indiana, culd nt affrd. Ms. Kapraun was nt interested. But she sn saw the ads again. And again. And again. “These feel like lw-end ads,” she said. In a shaky advertising market in an uncertain ecnmy, ads that few peple want t see suddenly seem t be everywhere.
Advancements in digital advertising technlgy were meant t imprve users’ experience. Peple interested in shes are intended t get ads fr sneakers and bts, nt repeated pitches prmting gld investments. And the technlgy is suppsed t remve misleading r dangerus pitches. But lately, n several platfrms, the ppsite seems t be happening fr a variety f reasns, including a slwdwn in the verall digital ad market. As numerus deep-pcketed marketers have pulled back, and the sfter market has led several digital platfrms t lwer their ad pricing, pprtunities have pened up fr less demanding advertisers.
Advertising experts agree that pr-quality ads appear t be increasing greatly. They pint t a variety f ptential causes: internal trubles at technlgy cmpanies, weak cntent mderatin (审核), and high-level advertisers seeking ther chices. Then, there’s the ecnmy: A recent survey f 43 multinatinal cmpanies representing mre than $44 billin in advertising spending fund that nearly 30 percent planned t cut back n their marketing spending last year.
Other factrs are als cntributing t lwer advertising quality. Scial media advertising, nce nly practiced by specialists, is nw easily available t anyne. Many f them are aviding targeted ads — placements intended t reach specific audiences, usually at a higher cst — in favr f a cheaper spray-and-pray (广撒网式的) apprach nline, hping t catch the attentin f gullible (容易受骗的) r bred shppers. Majr scial media platfrms are nw like “a mall that used t be gd”, Crey Richardsn, vice president at a multicultural ad cmpany, says. “But nw there’s n lnger a mall there—it’s just a calendar stre and a place sling beepers (传呼机). ”
28. What message des the authr want t deliver in Prtia Kapraun’s stry?
A. Repeated ads have a strng pwer f persuasin.
B. Scial media users ften encunter unwanted ads.
C. Majr brands usually prefer scial media advertising.
D. An uncertain ecnmy leads t lwer levels f cnsumptin.
29. What can be inferred abut the “less demanding advertisers” mentined in Paragraph 2?
A. They are frced t exit the digital ad market.
B. They have benefited frm advertising experts.
C. They can nw advertise at a mre affrdable price.
D. They wrk hard t imprve their users’ experience.
30. What is Crey Richardsn’s attitude t majr scial media platfrms?
A. Favrable.B. HpefulC. Unclear.D. Negative.
31. Which f the fllwing is a suitable title fr the text?
A. Where is scial media advertising heading?
B. What is shaking up the nline advertising market?
C. Why are yu seeing s many bad digital ads nw?
D. Hw are targeted ads impacting yur purchase decisins?

Nile crcdiles are uniquely sensitive t the cries f painful primate (灵长类) babies, accrding t a new study — and the mre anxius the cry, the mre interested they becme. T make the find, Niclas Grimault, a scientist at the University f Lyn, and his clleagues visited a z in Mrcc, which huses mre than 300 Nile crcdiles. The researchers set up ludspeakers alngside fur pnds where, at each, as many as 25 crcdiles sunbathed n red rcks. The speakers played a series f cries expressing varying levels f pain frm primate babies. The cries were recrded in different situatins t find ut which aspects f the vices interest the crcs mst.
Many f the crcs, male and female, respnded t the cries by suddenly turning their heads, seeking ut the surce f the sund, rapidly appraching the ludspeaker and smetimes even biting it. One individual even shwed prtective behavir by psitining in frnt f the speaker as if t defend it frm thers. Interestingly, their respnse depended n the characteristics f the cries they heard: crcs were mre likely t react t recrdings with acustic (声音的) features clsely related t very upset babies, such as sudden changes and disharmny in frequency, smthness and tnes.
When the researchers asked human vlunteers, all f whm had experience with human babies, t listen t the same recrded cries and estimate the level f pain, the participants used different features than the crcs did t evaluate the sunds, basing their decisins largely n the pitch f the cries — hw high r lw a sund is. But it varies amng individuals and acrss species. That makes it less reliable and accurate than the alternative acustic clues picked up n by crcdiles.
The findings f the study raise the pssibility that emtin may be cmmunicated acrss species lines in mre ways than scientists thught. As Grimault puts it, “If crcs can d it, prbably many ther animals can d it, t.”
32. Why are the cries cllected frm different situatins played?
A. T discver which crcdiles are smart.B. T identify what appeals t crcdiles.
C. T develp hw t prtect crcdiles.D. T recrd when crcdiles interact.
33. Hw d mst f the crcdiles respnd t baby’ cries?
A. Guarding the speakers.B. Sunbathing n the rcks.
C. Attacking ther crcdiles.D. Mving twards the sund.
34. Which f the fllwing belngs t “alternative acustic clues” in paragraph 3?
A. The vlume f sund.B. The surce f the cries.
C. The evenness f tne.D. The pitch f the vice.
35. Which statement wuld Grimault prbably agree with?
A. Humans are sensitive t vices f ther species.
B. Emtins may be shared beynd species brders.
C. Crcs tend t be friendly t babies f any species.
D. Crss-species cmmunicatin is an unfading skill.

Up t the age f ten, I did nt mind at all.
My parents wrked very hard at ensuring that everything seemed pleasant fr me. I have t admit that I had a very peaceful childhd and I mstly ignred the fact that my elder sister was different. The child psychlgist had termed it as “Asperger Syndrme”(阿斯伯格综合症) . This diagnsis (诊断) turned my parents wrld upside dwn — but they never let it affect me. It was nly at the age f ten that I started t ntice the differences, and becme cnscius f my scial life and self-image that I had carefully built. My sister, n the ther hand, was scially awkward. She culd nt lk at peple in the eye. She wuld whisper t herself and repeat the wrds she had just said under her breath. She, hwever, was academically capable, and hence we attended the same primary schl. Despite this, I never, ever acknwledged in public that she was my sister. There was ne incident, hwever, just tw years ag, that remains impressed in my cnsciusness. It was the incident that changed hw I viewed my sister. It was the incident that changed me.
My sister was then in primary six, abut t graduate. She and her classmates had t put up a perfrmance, whether in a grup, r individually. Due t her inability t cmmunicate, my sister was the nly ne left withut a grup. The schl had made it a must fr everyne t put up an item, s my sister had t perfrm individually. “I’ll sing,” my sister tld my parents, smewhat cnfidently. Hearing that, I was cmpletely shcked. She wuld embarrass me, ne way r anther. “N!” I remember prtesting. My parents sht me a lk and that was when I knew my sister was ging t perfrm, n matter what; and I was ging t be part f the audience watching her.

One pssible versin:
Sn came the day f the perfrmance, and my sister did the nly sl. As she std n that stage, I culdn’t help but feel anxiety and embarrassment. Her vice quivered as she started, and I buried my head in my hands; but surprisingly, with each nte fllwing, smething magical happened. The audience, a bit nisy at first, began t listen attentively. My sister sang with a passin and sincerity that I had never witnessed befre. Her vice was pure and hauntingly beautiful, filling the auditrium with an emtinal resnance that tuched everyne’ s hearts. I lifted my head with my muth wide pen. When she finished, sincere cheers burst ut frm the audience.
Wrapped in bth guilt and jy, I went t the backstage t find my sister. There, amidst the bustling f students, parents, and teachers cngratulating her, I hugged her tightly, my eyes still wet with tears. “Yu were amazing,” I whispered, my vice filled with genuine admiratin. She beamed with pride, her eyes finally meeting mine withut hesitatin. In that mment, as we shared a prfund cnnectin, I realized that her perfrmance had dne much mre than change my perceptin f her; it had transfrmed ur relatinship frever. It was the beginning f a new chapter, ne where I wuld prudly stand by her side, celebrating her talents, and cherishing the beautiful persn she was, Asperger Syndrme and all.☆ Stability Cushin

Prtia Kapraun has always seen unwelcme ads n Twitter, usually frm majr brands pitching (竭力推销) her expensive jewelry r vehicles that she, as a librarian in Indiana, culd nt affrd. Ms. Kapraun was nt interested. But she sn saw the ads again. And again. And again. “These feel like lw-end ads,” she said. In a shaky advertising market in an uncertain ecnmy, ads that few peple want t see suddenly seem t be everywhere.
Advancements in digital advertising technlgy were meant t imprve users’ experience. Peple interested in shes are intended t get ads fr sneakers and bts, nt repeated pitches prmting gld investments. And the technlgy is suppsed t remve misleading r dangerus pitches. But lately, n several platfrms, the ppsite seems t be happening fr a variety f reasns, including a slwdwn in the verall digital ad market. As numerus deep-pcketed marketers have pulled back, and the sfter market has led several digital platfrms t lwer their ad pricing, pprtunities have pened up fr less demanding advertisers.
Advertising experts agree that pr-quality ads appear t be increasing greatly. They pint t a variety f ptential causes: internal trubles at technlgy cmpanies, weak cntent mderatin (审核), and high-level advertisers seeking ther chices. Then, there’s the ecnmy: A recent survey f 43 multinatinal cmpanies representing mre than $44 billin in advertising spending fund that nearly 30 percent planned t cut back n their marketing spending last year.
Other factrs are als cntributing t lwer advertising quality. Scial media advertising, nce nly practiced by specialists, is nw easily available t anyne. Many f them are aviding targeted ads — placements intended t reach specific audiences, usually at a higher cst — in favr f a cheaper spray-and-pray (广撒网式的) apprach nline, hping t catch the attentin f gullible (容易受骗的) r bred shppers. Majr scial media platfrms are nw like “a mall that used t be gd”, Crey Richardsn, vice president at a multicultural ad cmpany, says. “But nw there’s n lnger a mall there—it’s just a calendar stre and a place sling beepers (传呼机). ”

B. They have benefited frm advertising experts.
C. They can nw advertise at a mre affrdable price.

Nile crcdiles are uniquely sensitive t the cries f painful primate (灵长类) babies, accrding t a new study — and the mre anxius the cry, the mre interested they becme. T make the find, Niclas Grimault, a scientist at the University f Lyn, and his clleagues visited a z in Mrcc, which huses mre than 300 Nile crcdiles. The researchers set up ludspeakers alngside fur pnds where, at each, as many as 25 crcdiles sunbathed n red rcks. The speakers played a series f cries expressing varying levels f pain frm primate babies. The cries were recrded in different situatins t find ut which aspects f the vices interest the crcs mst.
Many f the crcs, male and female, respnded t the cries by suddenly turning their heads, seeking ut the surce f the sund, rapidly appraching the ludspeaker and smetimes even biting it. One individual even shwed prtective behavir by psitining in frnt f the speaker as if t defend it frm thers. Interestingly, their respnse depended n the characteristics f the cries they heard: crcs were mre likely t react t recrdings with acustic (声音的) features clsely related t very upset babies, such as sudden changes and disharmny in frequency, smthness and tnes.
When the researchers asked human vlunteers, all f whm had experience with human babies, t listen t the same recrded cries and estimate the level f pain, the participants used different features than the crcs did t evaluate the sunds, basing their decisins largely n the pitch f the cries — hw high r lw a sund is. But it varies amng individuals and acrss species. That makes it less reliable and accurate than the alternative acustic clues picked up n by crcdiles.
The findings f the study raise the pssibility that emtin may be cmmunicated acrss species lines in mre ways than scientists thught. As Grimault puts it, “If crcs can d it, prbably many ther animals can d it, t.”
32. Why are the cries cllected frm different situatins played?
A. T discver which crcdiles are smart.B. T identify what appeals t crcdiles.
C. T develp hw t prtect crcdiles.D. T recrd when crcdiles interact.
33. Hw d mst f the crcdiles respnd t baby’ cries?
A. Guarding the speakers.B. Sunbathing n the rcks.
C. Attacking ther crcdiles.D. Mving twards the sund.
34. Which f the fllwing belngs t “alternative acustic clues” in paragraph 3?
A. The vlume f sund.B. The surce f the cries.
C. The evenness f tne.D. The pitch f the vice.
35. Which statement wuld Grimault prbably agree with?
A. Humans are sensitive t vices f ther species.
B. Emtins may be shared beynd species brders.
C. Crcs tend t be friendly t babies f any species.
D. Crss-species cmmunicatin is an unfading skill.

Up t the age f ten, I did nt mind at all.
My parents wrked very hard at ensuring that everything seemed pleasant fr me. I have t admit that I had a very peaceful childhd and I mstly ignred the fact that my elder sister was different. The child psychlgist had termed it as “Asperger Syndrme”(阿斯伯格综合症) . This diagnsis (诊断) turned my parents wrld upside dwn — but they never let it affect me. It was nly at the age f ten that I started t ntice the differences, and becme cnscius f my scial life and self-image that I had carefully built. My sister, n the ther hand, was scially awkward. She culd nt lk at peple in the eye. She wuld whisper t herself and repeat the wrds she had just said under her breath. She, hwever, was academically capable, and hence we attended the same primary schl. Despite this, I never, ever acknwledged in public that she was my sister. There was ne incident, hwever, just tw years ag, that remains impressed in my cnsciusness. It was the incident that changed hw I viewed my sister. It was the incident that changed me.
My sister was then in primary six, abut t graduate. She and her classmates had t put up a perfrmance, whether in a grup, r individually. Due t her inability t cmmunicate, my sister was the nly ne left withut a grup. The schl had made it a must fr everyne t put up an item, s my sister had t perfrm individually. “I’ll sing,” my sister tld my parents, smewhat cnfidently. Hearing that, I was cmpletely shcked. She wuld embarrass me, ne way r anther. “N!” I remember prtesting. My parents sht me a lk and that was when I knew my sister was ging t perfrm, n matter what; and I was ging t be part f the audience watching her.

One pssible versin:
Sn came the day f the perfrmance, and my sister did the nly sl. As she std n that stage, I culdn’t help but feel anxiety and embarrassment. Her vice quivered as she started, and I buried my head in my hands; but surprisingly, with each nte fllwing, smething magical happened. The audience, a bit nisy at first, began t listen attentively. My sister sang with a passin and sincerity that I had never witnessed befre. Her vice was pure and hauntingly beautiful, filling the auditrium with an emtinal resnance that tuched everyne’ s hearts. I lifted my head with my muth wide pen. When she finished, sincere cheers burst ut frm the audience.
Wrapped in bth guilt and jy, I went t the backstage t find my sister. There, amidst the bustling f students, parents, and teachers cngratulating her, I hugged her tightly, my eyes still wet with tears. “Yu were amazing,” I whispered, my vice filled with genuine admiratin. She beamed with pride, her eyes finally meeting mine withut hesitatin. In that mment, as we shared a prfund cnnectin, I realized that her perfrmance had dne much mre than change my perceptin f her; it had transfrmed ur relatinship frever. It was the beginning f a new chapter, ne where I wuld prudly stand by her side, celebrating her talents, and cherishing the beautiful persn she was, Asperger Syndrme and all.☆ Stability Cushin
