16、eenagers.BWe lived in a very quiet neighborhood. One evening I heard a loud crash in the street. Earlier that evening my wife had asked me to go to the store to get some soft drinks. It seemed that this would be a good time to let my teenage daughter Holly practice her driving, so I sent her to the
17、store in my truck. At dinner my son talked about how much he liked my truck. I enjoyed having it, but I said：“Guy, my heart is not set on that truck. I like it but it is just metal and wont last forever. Never set your heart on anything that wont last.” After hearing the loud noise, the whole family
18、 ran outside. My son shouted: “Dad! Dad, Holly crashed your truck.”.The accident had happened in my own driveway. Holly had crashed my truck into our other vehicle. In her inexperience, she had confused the brakes (刹车)and the gas pedal (油门). Holly was unhurt physically but when we reached her, she w
19、as crying and saying： Oh, Dad, Im sorry. I know how much you love this truck.” I held her in my arms as she cried.Later that week a friend stopped by and asked what had happened to my truck.

23、Advice.B. Experience.C. Possession.D. Relationship.27. Which is the best title of the text?A. What Really MattersB. How to Educate ChildrenC. Who Really CaresD. How to Be a FatherCIts a popular belief that a fishs memory lasts for only seven seconds. It may seem sad to think that they dont remember
24、what theyve eaten or where theyve been, and they dont identify you or any of their friends - every moment in their life would be like seeing the world for the first time.But dont be so quick to feel sorry for them. A new study has found that fish have a much better memory than we used to think. In f
25、act, certain kinds of fish can even remember events from as long as 12 days ago. In the study, researchers from Mac Ewan University in Canada trained a kind of fish called African cichlids to go to a certain area of their tank to get food. They then waited for 12 days before putting them back in the
26、 tank again. Researchers used computer software to monitor the fishs movements. They found that after such a long break the fish still went to the same place where they first got food. This suggested that they could remember their past experiences.In fact, scientists had been thinking for a long tim
27、e that African cichlids might have a good memory. An earlier study showed that they behaved aggressively in front of certain fish, perhaps because they remembered their past “fights”. But until the latest findings, there was no clear evidence.Just as a good memory can make our lives easier, it also
28、plays an important part when a fish is trying to survive in the wild. “If fish are able to remember that a certain area contains safe food, they will be able to go back to that area without putting their lives at risks”, lead researcher Trevor Hamilton told Live Science.For a long time, fish were pl
29、aced far below chimpanzees, dolphins and mice on the list of smart animals. But this study has given scientists a new understanding of their intelligence.28.

What we can learn from fish.31. Where is the text most likely taken from?A. A geography textbook. B. A science maga
32、zine.C. A travel brochure. D. A medical journal.DIn October, 2019, Beijing Daily warned the youth that they shouldnt let Internet slang(俚语)deepen the generation gap (代沟)，after People Daily started a discussion on Chinese microblog Weibo on how to “explain” the youths Internet slang terms to parents.
33、 The post got 40,000 likes. People were commenting that they couldnt keep up with the rapidly developing Internet lingo （术语）in China.People also fear that Chinese Internet slang will negatively influence broader linguistic (语言的) trends of Mandarin Chinese, in particular, the gradual taking-over of p
34、inyin, the romanization of traditional Chinese characters using the Western alphabet. As pinyin gets widely used when people text or write on mobile phones or computers, while less and less people write characters by hand, people gradually forget how to write them, which is called character amnesia
35、in China.2019s latest slang terms add a further simplification: the use of pinyin acronyms (缩略词). Awsl in pinyin, for instance, means Ah, wo sile (Oh, Im gonna die), and is used if something is too cute or adorable. Nsdd stands for ni shuo de dui (youre right).Certainly, as an age-old written langua
36、ge, Chinese has been evolving and developing over the years. But the Chinese Internet lingo is unlikely to replace the existing use of Mandarin Chinese, but will rather be enriching it by adding another layer.Acronyms arent new. They have appeared with the limited space available in early-generation
37、 cell phone messaging. Some of them have become a part of the English language, such as BTW (by the way) and LOL (laugh out loud), while others had a rather short lifetime. Thats likely to be whats going to happen with Chinas Internet slang terms. Some are going to be old in a few weeks, while other
38、s might make it into mainstream use, and as they do, young net users are coming up with new slang words to differentiate themselves.In China, using Internet slang means belonging to a certain generation that likes to watch the same talk shows, play the same games, etc., and therefore, creates unity.
39、 Older generations dont have to feel left out, and certainly dont have to fear a degradation(没落)of the Chinese language. While language development is unavoidable, Internet slang is not going to let 6,000 years of Chinese written language completely change overnight.32. The public are worried about
40、Chinese Internet slang abuse (滥用) becauseA. It will rarely have a positive effect on linguistic trends of Chinese.B. Its used by children to keep secrets from parents.C. It can cause confusion even among young people. D. It was invented in response to the limited messaging space.33. How do Chinese I
41、nternet slang terms affect the Chinese language?A. They add variety to the language.B. They are replacing its traditional vocabulary.C. They make the language more global.D. They only have temporary effects on Chinese.34. By using Internet slang in China, people may get.A. a sense of purposeB. a sen
42、se of cultural prideC. a sense of group identityD. a sense of safety35. Which could be the best title for the passage?A. Is Media Helping Older Generation Understand Internet Slang?B. Is Chinese Language Too Powerful to Be Largely Affected?C. Is Mandarin Chinese Useful to Bridge the Generation Gap?D
