Facebook appears to be extending its controversial（有争议的）colored posts to comments. The company is testing a feature that would allow users to comment in a variety of （different colors. Much like the colored-post feature, this is allowing users to choose from a variety of background colors to overlay（覆盖）their comments on.

Facebook confirmed the test, telling The Next Web, "We're always exploring new ways for people to connect and have conversations, so we are testing new features on comments. ”

Facebook users, however, don't seem to be interested in the new color choices. Comments regarding the new feature on Twitter were negative overall.

Last December, Facebook first started introducing colored posts with a feature that allows users to choose colors for their text. While t appears to be an image, it's actually sill in text form and the text can be highlighted and copied.

"We're making people's text posts more visual," a Facebook spokesman said.

Starting today, people can update the background color of their text-only posts on Android. The feature's latest update lets users choose a background color.

"Whether you're looking for vacation recommendations or informing a group of the address for a party, the text-based feature allows you to update your contacts in a fun and personal way,“ the spokesperson said.

Giving users a more customized（定制的）way to share updates is likely part of Facebook's strategy to get users back to posting more updates personal to themselves.

As videos and news articles have begun taking up more of people’s needs, people have become less comfortable posting their own, raw content among the professional videos, photos and writing.

24. What does Facebook want to do?

A. To make its posts meaningful.

B. To make comments colorful.

C. To allow its users to comment.

C. It will be fun and personal for the users.

D. It provides the only customized way to chat.

Sunflowers are something most of us usually think about in August, but with the arrival of the seed catalogs（分类），winter is a good time to start thinking about which ones you might want to grow this coming year. Most gardeners are familiar with the tall giant sunflowers. But there are three or four dozen other varieties.

First, you need to understand that sunflowers don't all bloom at the same time. In my trials I grouped them according to bloom time. Early means they bloom in late July or early August. The mid-season ones bloom in mid-August. The late season sunflowers usually flower from late August to early September.

For the early sunflowers, in my trials Pacino was one of the best one year, but was not as striking this past year. It has yellow flowers, about four inches across, and is about two feet high. Other low-growing, early choices are the yellow Sunspot, Del Sol, or Dwarf Yellow Spray. The latter has a 10t of branches, as its name indicates. Double Dandy is an early, low, red and yellow combination.

For the mid-season choices, this past year my best performers included three varieties that attain heights of five feet-the red-orange Claret, the strikingly dark red Moulin Rouge, and the gold Sunny. Two four-foot sunflowers that I’d recommend for home gardens are the red-yellow combination Ring of Fire, an All — America Selections Award winner, and Lemonade, with its interesting mix of light and yellow petals（花瓣）.

If you are looking for a late season variety, my favorite is Titanic, a double gold, four-foot-tall variety that bloomed much of September and into October in my trials this past year. Other good choices include the light-yellow Valentine, the gold Soraya, and the double gold Giant Sungold. This winter, as you leaf through（翻阅）the seed catalogs as the  the snow gently falls outside your window, think about summer sunflowers. Thoughts of these flowers are sure to warm the coldest of winter days.

28. What can we learn from the first paragraph?

A. There are many different varieties of sunflowers.

B. The writer likes the tall giant sunflowers best.

C. You can try to grow sunflowers in winter.

D. Sunflowers only bloom in August.

29. Which kind of sunflower may you see in late July or early August?

A. Sunny.    B. Claret.    C. Moulin Rouge.   D. Dwarf Yellow Spray.

30. What do we know about “Ring of Fire” from the text?

A. It is two feet high and about four inches across.

B. The color of it is a combination of red and yellow.

C. It can only be planted in the southern areas of America.

D. It usually blooms much of September and into October.

31. How many kinds of late sunflowers are mentioned in the text?

A. Two.    B. Three.    C. Four.     D. Five.

D

Liu Xiangping, a Chinese-Canadian artist and stamp designer, recalls his remarkable experiences in designing the stamps which develop friendship between China and Canada.

It was 1997, the year when Hong Kong was returned to China, and Canada Post, along with the then-Hong Kong Postal Administration and China, celebrated the Chinese New Year with a stamp.

In January 2017, a special 45-cent stamp designed by Liu and two other Chinese Canadian artists was issued. Since then, Canada Post has been issuing a zodiac（属相）stamp for the Chinese Lunar New Year each year. "Many traditional customs related to the Chinese New Year are indeed transnational（跨国的）.They are beyond political and cultural differences. They powerfully reflect the close connections of the overseas Chinese to their ethnic roots," Liu said.

Liu said that what he was most proud of last year was the creation of a stamp for China Post on the theme of fighting the COVID-19 pandemic.

When China Post issued a set of special stamps in 2003 to mark the victory over SARS, Liu was one of the designers.

In January 2020, Liu left Toronto for Beijing. With the influence of COVID-19 drawing the attention of the entire country, China Post invited him once again to be one of two chief designers of a set of anti-pandemic-themed stamps.

On May 11, 2020, China Post issued the two stamps. One featured the phrase "Pursue Together, Combat the Pandemic" to pay admiration and respect to the Chinese people in the fight against the virus. Liu said the most important principle for the designs is to present the Chinese spirit of solidarity（团结）as well as that of human nature in tough times. "I tried to express the sense of perseverance, anxiety and sorrow at the same time through people's eyes,“ Liu said.

To memorize the centennial （百年纪念）of Norman Bethune’s birth and his accomplishments, Canada and China jointly issued a pair of commemorative stamps in 1990. Bethune devoted his life to medicine and humanitarianism in China in the late 1930s. Jean Morin and Wanda Lewicka of Canada deigned the stamps, and Liu illustrated （加插图）them.

"The stamps are the product of close cooperation and cultural exchanges between Canada and China. They symbolize the fundamentals （基本原则）of the friendship between the two countries,“ said Liu. "Well never forget that Chinese and Canadian people were committed to the common values of justice and peace in WWII. "

32. When did Canada Post begin issuing a zodiac stamp for the Chinese Lunar New Year?

A. In 1997.   B. In 2003.   C. In 2017.  D. In 2020.

33. Which word can replace the underlined word “tough“ in paragraph 7?

A. Wonderful.   B. Difficult.   C. Busy.   D. Common.

34. Which of the following is NOT right about Liu according to the news report?

A. He designed a stamp to celebrate the Chinese New Year with a stamp in 1997.

B. He designed a stamp to honor the Chinese people fighting against the pandemic.

C. He designed a set of special stamps in 2003 to mark the victory over SARS.

D. He designed the stamps to memorize the centennial of Norman Bethune's birth.

35. What can be the best title for the news report?

A. Stamps develop friendship between Canada and China

B. Stamps show cultural exchanges between Canada and China

C. Liu Xiangping is a Chinese-Canadian artist and stamp designer

D. Liu Xiangping enjoys designing stamps reflecting Chinese customs

It's said that today more than $400 billion a year is spent on advertising worldwide. 36    No wonder, it is widely recognized that the global economy is heavily being driven by advertisements.

37    The advertisers will first of all single out（选择）the market. That is, they need to determine who will buy the product. Then, they will work out the best way to appeal to this market. So they will take into consideration a number of desires or worries the target consumers may have. 38       That is, they will study what words and images their advertisement contains and what slogans they plan to make use of. They will also consider employing famous people and using scientific data to support the product.

In everyday life consumers have seen lots of successful examples of advertisements. For example, Nike, Coca-Cola, and McDonald's.              39     One soap company had all its advertisements show dirty clothes on the left, its box of soap in the middle, and clean clothes on the right. Then it started its advertising programme in the Middle East. Unfortunately, since Arabic speakers read Arabic from the right to the left, many viewers when seeing the ad, thought to themselves, “Why this soap makes clothes dirty!”

Therefore, advertisers have to be aware of cultural differences when they want to carry out an international advertising programme in a foreign country.              40    

A. Lots of questions like these might be raised.

B. Finally, they will design the advertising programme.

C. A successful advertisement involves at least three things.

D. They're all very successful in attracting and selling to their customers.

E. However, there are still some examples that do not reach the expected goal.

F. Study the cultural background of the customers, or the advertising programme may be ruined!

G. Beyond that, the economic influence of advertising touches just about every consumer product industry.

It's better to travel ten thousand miles than to read ten thousand books. To me, one of the most wonderful things in life is visiting new places to 41   different cultures and meet new friends.

In 2018, I visited Vietnam for the first time with a few friends. I was very 42    because I've always 43    such wonderful things about Vietnam-from the city sites, to the food and people.

We first went to Hanoi, the capital of Vietnam. During a few days' 44    , we ate many delicious local foods. The Vietnamese pho（越南河粉）is one of them. Pho is a type of soup that              45   rice noodles, herbs and meat. The soup simmers（炖）for six to ten hours to 46                 a rich and flavorful base. Pho is considered to be hearty and   47   . When we needed a quick 48    to go, we bought a couple of  banh mi（越南三明治），which is a（n）49  

Vietnamese sandwich made with a baguette（法棍）.It's a very popular street food there.

I also remember thinking how beautiful the architecture in Hanoi was. It was interesting to see very old-fashioned 50   blended in with ones that had a distinct French 51    . This is 52     France colonized(殖民)Vietnam in the 19th century. This colonization 53     ,  influenced Vietnamese culture. This influence is 54 in the architecture and food— 55      the baguettes used for banh mi!

After Hanoi, we went to a small city in northern Vietnam called Ninh Binh. Ninh Binh is a wonderful spot for 56    natural views of mountains, rivers and caves. As we 57   a river tour, we found that the area was used in a 58    of the film in which human beings fight a huge gorilla.

Even though it has been a long time since I 59    to Vietnam, I sill fondly remember all of the wonderful 60     I had and the memories I made there. I hope that I can go back to visit it again someday soon.

第二节(共10小题;每小题1.5分，满分15分)

阅读下列材料，在空白处填入1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。

My decision to travel around China was merely due to my being 61    (curiosity) about the country. Before I paid a visit to China, I took many aspects 62    account.

After travelling from Beijing up to Xi'an, I wanted to challenge myself by choosing a smaller town-Xiahe in Gansu Province. I arrived in Lanzhou at around 5 am, but only 63   (tell) that there were no buses to Xiahe. I managed to see a policeman and attempted to explain to him the destination 64                 I planned to go in simple English, praying that he would understand. I wasn't sure that he did but I just followed him anyway as I had no choice. He took me on a bus but not 65    (know) where I was going, I was quite anxious. Fortunately, I met a student who told me in English that the policeman was taking me to another bus station where I could take a bus to Xiahe. During this conversation a third man said he was also a policeman and would help me buy a ticket. But as he was not in uniform, I was afraid that he              66                 not be a policeman. I was a little doubtful about his real identity.

The uniformed policeman's immediate 67  (recommend) was that I should go with the third man. Having got off the bus, I followed the so-called policeman. But at this point, he disappeared and I was left in the middle of nowhere. I stood there, feeling a little scared. Around one minute later a police car came and stopped right by me. It was the policeman who didn't wear a uniform. 68    （incredible） he told me to get into the car and he dropped me directly at the bus station, and helped me buy a ticket.

This is one of many things that I 69    （go） through in China so far. Regardless of different cultures, there was one thing that would always stand out-kindness. The people I met showed their kindness and friendliness. I also saw them so 70      （devote） to their work.
