Graffiti

Have you ever written anything on a wall? It’s nothing new and for thousands of years humans have been writing messages on walls, bridges, and buildings as a means of expressing themselves.

Ancient Graffiti

Some of the first graffiti artists were the Vikings. You can read some at a prehistoric site in Scotland. The Vikings broke into the burial site about 800 years ago, hoping to find treasure. Unfortunately,there wasn`t any; however,the cave was a good place to shelter from the terrible storm that night, where the Vikings left messages on the walls to pass the time. Interestingly, many of the things they wrote are typical of modern-day graffiti, for example,“John made this cross."

Political Graffiti

At times, graffiti is used to make political statements. During World War ,people in occupied Holland painted orange victory“V"signs on walls in major towns. Here’s another example:“ No more wars! "

American Graffiti

During the 1970s a new type of graffiti became popular in the States: tagging (标记) Bands of youngsters slipped away into the streets at night with cans of paint and left their tags on as many walls as possible. Sometimes they also responded to other people’s graffiti. Some people see this form of graffiti as an example of urban art; others see it as an example of urban decline.

British Graffiti

In Britain, one of the most popular forms of graffiti is known as “toilet graffiti”, which is common on the walls of public toilets all over the country.The graffiti often consists of a funny or rude comment. Occasionally it will be a response to another piece of graffiti, or at other times it will be a political comment.

21. Why did the Vikings leave messages at the prehistoric site?

A.To relieve their boredom. 

B. To cause a sense of mystery.

22. What conclusion has the author draw according to the passage?

Wang Shuang was just five when her parents divorced, dropped her at her uncle’s and left. Football, as it often is, became an escape.

At seven, she was spotted by coach Xu Yilong, who found Wang quick in her playful behaviour. As the only girl in the boys’ team, Wang’s performances were impressive, earning her the nickname“Iron Girl." And soon, she sensed the sport’s power. Football allowed her to“release herself”and realize “whatever happens, football never leaves you alone."

However, life was never smooth sailing. The constant jibes(嘲讽)from some people, who always tried to push her down and destroy her hopes,affected her so deeply that she lost confidence."They were saying I had no talent at all. Gradually, I felt really so."Wang once wrote. But never did she stop playing. When she was called up to the national team, aged 17,Wang thought,“Me? Are you sure?"When a world-famous club wanted to sign her, she was "excited that an excellent coach thought I was good." It was only then that she felt confident in her abilities.“I felt recognized. Perhaps I had a bit of talent after all."

Not any “bit of talent";  the genius is praised as China’s once-in-a-generation player.

China is a pioneer of women’s football in Asia and has won the continental championship eight times, including seven straight titles between 1986 and 1999.That was their golden age. Gradually, though, the dynasty declined. It is hoped that Wang will inspire the women’s football of the country to its former height.

Coaches are almost always hesitant to speak about individual players.But when coach Shui was asked about Wang before the match against Vietnam, she couldn't stop mentioning her influence on the team.Unfailingly performing on the big stage, Wang did not let her team down. When they lacked a quality ball, she delivered two high assists that finally led her team into the last-four clash(交锋).

“Nobody knows how hard it was," declared Wang after the match.“We overcame difficulties. We also showed our strong spiritual power. I am proud of my team."

.24. What can we infer about Wang from the second paragraph?

1. She earned a living on her own. 

B. She felt the power of sports. 

C. She was laughed at by the boys.

D. She found a sense of belonging 

25. How did Wang regain faith in her abilities?

A. By winning recognition. 

B. By getting encouragement. 

C. By playing in the national team. 

D. By ignoring other people's jibes. 

26. Which would best describe coach Shui’s attitude to Wang?

A. Caring.           B. Unwilling.        C. Favorable.         D. Demanding

27. What's the best title for the text?

A. Wang Shuang: A Steel Rose

B. Wang Shuang: A Child Genius 

C.Wang Shuang: A Football Pioneer 

D. Wang Shuang: A Golden Age Successor·

C.

As the saying goes: The Internet is forever; Once you’ve put something online-a credit card number, a silly photo, a heat-of-the-moment comment on social media-it can come back to disturb you.

But what are the risks,really? “There are two worst-case situations," says Richard Klosowski, privacy and security editor of a product-recommendation service."The most obvious one is a security issue. Everyone’s e-mail address and basic details are let out somewhere online, and if you reuse passwords, that means a criminal or immoral person will have an easier time getting into you accounts.

The problem is getting worse: Identity theft cases more than doubled in 2020, according to a survey conducted by Harvard university,with reported financial losses from fraud(欺诈)overall climbing to $3.3 billion from $1.8 billion in 2019.

"The second worse-case situation is more primal:embarrassment,”says Klosowski. And sometimes the pricks(刺痛) to our pride are far more personal than feeling ashamed over an awful photo.“Many of us store our most intimate thoughts in a digital notes app,draft e-mails we never send, or pour out our private feelings into a direct message to a friend.This is the type of thing that can be disclosed online, either through a provider being ignored or through your own misunderstanding of the often-confusing privacy settings in the software and services."

With these sorts of slip-ups, the stakes can be high. But you’re not powerless. You can stand up for your privacy and begin to take control, starting right now.

28.The underlined saying “The Internet is forever." in paragraph 1 probably means_____

A. More and more people can’t live without the Internet.

B. People use the Internet to solve problems all the time.

C.The Internet is developing so fast that it will exist forever.

D. What people used to do on the Internet can be traced back.

29.How did the author express the worsen conditions of the security issue?

A. By quoting experts.              

B. By analyzing the data.

C. By providing examples.          

D. By making comparison.

30. According lo Klosowski, why do people feel embarrassed on line?

A. Their private thoughts and feeling get leaked on line.

B.Their private thoughts arc written in an digital notes app

C. Their messages are sent with private feeling to their friends.

D.Their privacy settings are paid no attention to in the software.

31. What will the following part of this passage talk about?

A.The benefits that the Internet bring to people.

B. The other serious problems people meet online.

C. More examples of how people feel embarrassed online.

D. The measures people should take to solve the problems.

                                    D.

In May 2012, Australia’s Macquarie Dictionary and the McCann Advertising Agency gathered a group of language experts to name a phenomenon common in the age of the smartphone. They called the phenomenon“phubbing”, and defined(定义)it as “the act of snubbing (无视) someone in a social setting by looking at your phone instead of paying attention." It’s not the usual way words begin to exist.

A month later, the first example of phubbing in a major newspaper appeared in a letter to the editor of the Age, published in Melbourne. Since then, the word has appeared in various media the world over. Phubbing has yet to be fully adopted in the U.S., but we have collected some evidence of it in use.

On 29 September 2015, James A. Roberts wrote in the Hufininglon Post,"In the present case, phubbing is a combination of the words phone and snubbing. To be phubbed is to be snubbed by someone using their cell phone while in your company. The phubbing could be an interruption of your conversation with someone when he or she uses their cell phone or is distracted by it (steal glances when they think you’re not looking) instead of paying attention to you. Maybe worse, you've been phubbed if someone used their cell phone instead of communicating with you while staying close to you. Oh, the shame."

The meaning and various forms of the word have yet to settle out. Is it phubbing if you`re staring at your tablet instead of your phone? Is the singular noun (and the base form of the verb) spelled phubb, as in the example above, or phub, as in some other sources? These are the sorts of

questions we'll need answers to before we’re ready to consider phubbing and its relations for entry. In the meanwhile, you can of course use phubbing if you feel the need.It seems we all do these days.

32. What is the focus of paragraph 1?

A.The usage of phubbing. 

B.The birth of phubbing. 

C. The inluence of phubbing. 

D. The definition of phubbing 

33. What may phubbing probably lead to according to James A.Roberts?

A. Embarrassment in daily communication. 

B. Heavy reliance on cellphones. 

C. Complete ignorance by your friends. 

D. Shame in using cell phone. 

34. What can we learn from the last paragraph about the word“phubb"?

A. It arouses heated discussion. 

B. It proves to be settled. 

C. It's not included in a dictionary. 

D. It is widely used. 

35. Which section does the article probably belong to?

A. Science.       B. Resource.           C.Literature.            D. Language.
