You play as the mother of a frog who lives alone and enjoys travelling. You need to prepare food and tools for his trips. The frog will send you postcards while he is away.The games popularity may have something to do with how lonely people are these days, according to the Xinhua News Agency. Many players have said that the lonely frog is just like them. But playing with the frog helps them forget their loneliness(孤独) for a short time.Loneliness seems to be a common problem today. According to the Guardian(英国卫报), about 40 percent of American adults say theyre lonely. And in the UK, about one in five people in the country are always or often lonely, the Telegraph(英国电讯报) reported.This might be why the UK government declared(宣布) the countrys very first Minister of Loneliness in January. The ministers job is to find ways to help UK citizens feel less lonely. The ministers office will provide more money for activities that connect people together.This loneliness problem may be partly due to social media. When we see pictures of friends having fun or posting selfies(自拍) without us, we may compare their perfect lives with our own and feel upset and lonely.But we should remember that no one is destined(注定) to be lonely. As UK poet John Donne once wrote, No man is an island, entire of itself; every man is a piece of the continent(陆地), a part of the main.（1）What do players do while playing Travel Frog? A . Build houses for their frogs.B . Write postcards to their frogs.C . Choose places for their frogs to travel.D . Prepare food and tools for their frogs trips.（2）The purpose of introducing Travel Frog is to . A . tell us how to play this gameB . lead in more popular gamesC . tell us how popular this game isD . lead in the problem of loneliness（3）To deal with loneliness, Minister of Loneliness . A . designed the game Travel FrogB . found ways to get people togetherC . reported the problem in the newspaperD . stopped people from using social media（4）What does the last paragraph mean? A . In fact, we are not lonely.B . Loneliness is a big problem.C . Everyone should live the way he likes.D . It is no use to compare ourselves with others.24. （10分）阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C和D项中，选出最佳选项。（A）It was a Christmas night. I was an unlucky nurse who had to work on such a beautiful festival.

His long trunk lets him get his food easily.The trunk of an elephant is to him what the neck is to other animals.

It is an arm and a hand too, so that it has been said that the elephant carries his nose in his hand, and it might also have been said that he breathes by his hand.At the end of the trunk, there is a strange part, about five inches long, which forms a finger. With this finger the animal can pick up the smallest piece of money from the ground, and he has been taught to make marks like letters with a pen.The trunk of a full-grown elephant is about eight feet long.

The image of the apple is obvious, because thats the name of the company. What about the bite? The famous story is that the logo shows respect and honour for Alan Turing. He was the father of computer science. He researched artificial intelligence(人工智能) and unlocked German wartime codes(密码). However，after the war, he was put into prison，because of his beliefs. He could not stand the looking down and chose to bite a poisoned apple to end his life in the prison.However, Rob Janoff, who designed the famous Apple logo, said, “Its not the truth, but only a legend(传说, 传奇). The real reason why I designed it with a bite is very simple. I wanted people to get that it was an apple not a cherry (樱桃). When I go to markets to buy apples, I always mistake apples for cherries. It really has nothing to do with the scientist.”Are you kidding? An apple is much bigger than a cherry. Its very easy to tell.
