He is both a pianist of Shenzhen Symphony Orchestra (交响乐团), a 61-year-old professional vlogger (视频博主). With more than 2.3 million followers on China’s famous short video app “Douyin”, his videos have been watched by over 1 million times.Three years ago, my son put a short video of me playing the piano at home on ‘douyin’, and hours later it was played over 1 million times”, Yang remembered.However, it’s not easy for him to learn how to film a video. He needs to play through the music since he doesn’t know how to edit (编辑) and cut clips. His child helps him a lot later. “The Internet has opened the door to a new world” Yang said. “I always keep myself busy and feel very young at my age.”Do other old people get used to the digital world like Yang? Ding Qiulin is a 73-year-old man from Hunan. “I got my smartphone more than one year ago but I only use WeChat for video calls,” he said. Ding finds it hard to learn to use other apps.____________▲_____________ Luo Xu, a post-90s volunteer, joined a non-profit organization in Beijing nine years ago to teach old people how to use the Internet. “While I am helping people aged between 50 and 90 years old, I have a strong feeling of pleasure,” Luo said. Why is it difficult for Yang Su to film a video?Because he can only use WeChat for video calls.Because nobody can help him.Because he doesn’t know how to edit or cut clips.Because he has just got his smartphone.Which of the following sentences is an opinion (观点)?Ding Qiulin is a 73-year-old man from Hunan.

In fact, many other old people have the same feeling as Ding.B. However, many young people find it hard to teach the old to use the Internet.C. As a result, old people have to spend much time learning to use the smartphone.D. Luckily, younger people are building a bridge between the digital world and the old.29.

To show the mobile Internet makes a great difference to the old. D. To ask young people to spend more time caring for their parents. BLee put the body of a 2-year-old cat on a small bed surrounded by flowers. Then he let the cat’s owner say a last goodbye. Lee, 26, is a pet undertaker. “We send off 400 to 500 pets each year, and there’s a great need of pet funerals (葬礼),” he told China News.Keeping pets has become a fashion for young people in China and people are more thanwilling to pay for whatever their pets need. A report says, from 2019 to 2021 China’s pet market grew by almost 18 percent and hit 348.8 billion yuan in value in 2021.In addition to basic services, pet owners are increasingly paying for many new services, such as training: pet funerals, insurance, photography and entertainment. The growing pet market has also given birth to a large number of new pet-related jobs.Liu Wei, 33, is a famous pet detective in Shanghai. He and his team work on finding families’ lost pets. “We have successfully helped find more than 1000 pets. Besides cats and dogs, there are other pets like birds, lizards and hamsters.” Liu said.According to Líu, being a pet detective requires a sense of responsibility (责任), kindness and love for animals. Pet detectives also need to be clear-eyed. They also make good use of high-tech products, such as infrared thermal imaging devices (红外热成像仪).“Searching for pets needs lots of technical knowledge, for example when we look for cats, knowing their habits is a must” said Liu “In many big cities cats and dogs have become an important part of many families and are taken good care of. What we look for are not just pets, but family members.”Apart from pet undertakers and detectives, some people work as pet food testers, pet sitters and pet trainers. A study says that the booming (繁荣的) pet market shows people’s improved living standards. 30.

The animal-lovers who can’t look after pets well.D. The use of high-tech products for looking for pets. CSince the COVID-19 outbreak, many people have been forced to stay at home for longperiods of time to protect themselves from the virus. This has given people more free time to learn new skills and find different ways to entertain themselves.Some of these activities include things like singing, learning to cook and ordering fresh food online. All of these things can be done in the palm of your hand with mobile apps.Before, young people would go outside and meet friends at karaoke bars. Now, friends can meet and sing on the mobile karaoke app Changba, which translates to Singing Bar “The Changba app not only gives me the chance to sing whatever I like at home, but also lets me keep in touch with friends by sharing our songs,” said an app user.Some people have also taken up cooking as a new hobby to pass the time. You don’t need to attend culinary (烹饪的) school, thanks to apps like Xiachufang and Ecook, which make it easier for those who want to learn how to cook. These apps provide a platform for users to look up different recipes (菜谱) and to share their own recipes with others. “Using this app, I have learned many new and healthy dishes which help me eat better,” an app user commented on the app’s website.To help people avoid crowded places like grocery stores, apps that deliver goods right to your door have also become very popular. “It is noteworthy that the epidemic has attracted new groups of consumers (消费者), such as elderly people, who originally didn’t belong to our target user group,” Zhang Yi, an analyst (分析师) from the market research company iiMedia Research, said. Indeed, during this special time, these apps have opened up a whole new world of opportunities for people of all ages and backgrounds. 34. What did the author tell us about Changba in Paragraph 3?A. It is more user-friendly than karaoke bars.B. It helps users to discover their singing talent.C. It provides opportunities to communicate with friends. D. It allows users to improve their singing skills fast.35. What does the article tell us about food-delivery apps?A. They have lost many young customers.B. They have opened culinary classes for their users. C. They have more elderly users than before.D. They have caused many grocery stores to close.36. Which of the following shows the structure of the article? (①②③④⑤⑥=Paragraphs1-6)
DIf you are a recent social science graduate who has had to listen to jokes about unemployment (失业) from your computer major (专业课) classmates, you may have had the last laugh. There are many advantages for the social science major because this high-tech “Information Age” requires people who are flexible (灵活的) and who have good communication skills.There are many social science majors in large companies who fill important positions. For example, a number of research studies found that social science majors had achieved greater managerial (管理的) success than those who had technical training or pre-professional courses. Studies show that social science majors are most suitable for change, which is the leading feature (特点) of the kind of high-speed, high-pressure, high-tech world we now live in.Social science majors are not only experiencing success in their long-term company jobs, but they are also finding jobs more easily. A study showed that many companies had filled a large percentage of their entry-level (入门的) positions with social science graduates. The study also showed that the most important quality in a person who was looking for a job was communication skills, noted as “very important”, by 92 percent of the companies. Social science majors have these skills, often without knowing how important they are, It is probably because of these skills that they have been offered different kinds of positions.Finally, although some social science majors may still find it more difficult than their technically trained classmates to land the first job, recent graduates report that they don’t regret their choice of study. By saying that “you may have had the last laugh” in the first paragraph, the author means that you may have _______________.shared the jokes with computer majors achieved as much as computer majors stopped joking about computer majors found jobs more easily than computer majors Compared with graduates of other subjects, social science graduates _______________.are ready to change when situations change are better able to deal with difficultiesare equally good at computer skills are likely to give others pressure (压力) 39. The underlined word “land” in the last paragraph probably means _______________.A. keep for some time  B. successfully get  C. start at once  D. lose regretfully 40. According to the text, what has made it easy for social science graduates to find jobs?A. Willingness to take low-paid jobs.   B. Readiness to get high-tech knowledge. C. Skills in expressing themselves.    D. Part-time work experience.  第II卷 (非选择题)  (总分60分)四、A) 根据汉语提示填空。(每题一分，满分7分)41. The parade has been _________________(结束) for two hours.42.

The story, created by Milehemilu called Word Man, took place in a world where citizens（市民）were all Chinese characters. They had to live according to the original meanings of the characters and radicals（the characters’ parts）were not allowed to live alone. Chou, which means ugliness in Chinese, met a fugitive（逃亡的）Tishoupang（“扌”) that was running from the Radical Hunters. The two formed a new character Niu（“扭”）. Then they started an adventure（冒险）in the world of Chinese characters.Milehemilu, born in 1997, represents（代表）a new generation of writers who are inspired by Chinese traditional culture. Before developing a story and the “personality” for a Chinese character, Milehemilu would first learn about the origin and development of its meanings.Pan Liang, an editor, noticed that in the last three to four years, an increasing number of products related（相关的）to traditional Chinese culture have become popular among young people. “Chinese traditional culture has become a fashion these years possibly because people feel confident about our country and culture,” he says.For example, Yu Qiuyu’s Lectures on Chinese Culture published in 2019 has sold more than 300,000 copies. It is a systematic explanation of Chinese traditional culture by the essayist and scholar. The Travel Guide to the Tang Dynasty is also one of the bestselling books. In an interesting and creative way, it talks about the historical background and social and cultural knowledge more than 1,000 years ago.Pan says although there are a lot of books about traditional Chinese culture in the market, only if young people can find it interesting to read them can these books sell well.The classics will finally stay after the sifting time, but “what we need to do is to change those cold texts into something alive, just like craftspeople”, Pan says, “which is quite challenging”. Title: Traditional books back in fashionIntroduction        More and more products about traditional culture have become a (66)_______________ among young people.        Chinese traditional culture has become popular possibly because of people’s (67)_______________ in our country and culture.ExamplesWord ManStory        In the story, Chou met a (68)_______________ called Tishoupang, formed a new character Niu and started an adventure.Writer        The writer, Milehemilu, (69)_______________ for the writers encouraged by traditional Chinese culture.        Before creating the “personality” for a Chinese character, he would first learn about how its meanings originated and (70)_______________.Lectures on Chinese Culture        The (71)_______________ of the book have reached over 300,000 copies.        Yu Qiuyu (72)_______________ Chinese traditional culture systemically through the book.The Travel Guide to the Tang Dynasty        It introduces history and culture of the society (73)_______________ ten centuries ago.Conclusion        Whether books about traditional Chinese culture can sell well  (74)_______________ on whether “young people can have fun in reading.”        The texts of the classics need to be brought to (75)_______________. B)  根据短文内容和首字母提示，在下文空格处填入适当的词使短文完整。在题号的横线写出空缺处各单词的正确形式。（每空一词，每题1分，满分10分）“True friendship is like good health.
