To make readers focus on the problems.22. For many of us,the following things matter EXCEPT . A. having a big car B. enjoying life C.creating some great things D.being with our loved ones 23. What does the author suggest? A. We should choose to live an important life. B. We should spend a little time living a life. C. We should often reflect on what is important in our life. D. We should spend all our time with our significant ones.24. From the writing style of this passage,we can see that it is . A.a novel B.a report C. a poem D. a speech B“A photograph that one has taken of oneself, typically with a smart phone or webcam and uploaded to a social media website” is the definition of “selfie” in the Oxford English Dictionary. In fact, it wasnt even in the dictionary until August of last year. It earned its place there because people are now so obsessed with (对痴迷) selfies we take them when we try on a new hat, play with our pets or when we meet a friend whom we havent seen in a while.But is there any scientific explanation for this obsession? Well, you should probably ask James Kilner, a neuroscientist(神经系统科学家) at University College London.Through our lifetime we bee experts at recognizing and interpreting other peoples faces and facial expressions. In contrast, according to Kilner, we have a very poor understanding of our own faces since we have little experience of looking at them we just feel them most of the time.This has been proved in previous studies, according to the BBC.Kilner found that most people chose the more attractive picture. This suggests that we tend to think of ourselves as better-looking than we actually are. To further test how we actually perceive our own faces, Kilner carried out another study. He showed people different versions of their own portrait the original, one that had been edited to look less attractive and one that was made more attractive and asked them to pick the version which they thought looked most like them. They chose the more attractive version.But what does it say about selfies? Well, isnt that obvious? Selfies give us the power to create a photograph by taking it from various angles, with different poses, using filters (滤色镜) and so on that better matches our expectations with our actual faces.“You suddenly have control in a way that you dont have in non-virtual(非虚拟的)interactions,” Kilner told the Canada-based CTV News. Selfies allow you “to keep taking pictures until you manage to take one youre happy with”, he explained.25What is the passage mainly about? A. The definition and fun of taking selfies. B. How taking selfies influences peoples daily lives. C. A study of why people love taking selfies. D. How to interpret peoples facial expressions in their selfies.26The underlined word “perceive” in Paragraph 4 can be replaced by “_”. A. interpret B. choose C. beautify D. explain27What did Kilner discover from his researches? A. People interpret others facial expressions worse than their own. B. People who like taking selfies know more about their facial expressions. C. People tend to spend more time looking at their faces than at others. D. People tend to believe they look more attractive than they actually are.28 According to Kilner, people like taking selfies probably because they think _. A. it is a good chance to learn more about their actual faces. B. it allows them to satisfy their expectations with their appearances. C. it enables them to interact with their friends in social media. D. it is a way to respond to others facial expressions correctly.C Your morning activities may be like this: have breakfast, brush teeth, shower, then head out to start your day. But theres a hidden step in there you may not be aware ofpolluting the ocean and endangering sea life while polluting the food chain.Microbeads（微珠） are tiny pieces of plastic in our everyday cosmetics（化妆品） that you may have never paid much attention to up until now. From face creams to shower products, theres no escaping them. But while they may help keep our skin and teeth looking good, many species of sea life are mistaking the tiny colorful balls for food, ending up with them in their digestive systems（消化系统）.Researchers find pieces of plastic in seawater they study from round the world. What makes this even more worrying is that plastic is known to be excellent at absorbing toxic pollutants（吸收有毒污染物） in water and its thought that these toxins could be making their way up the food chain and eventually onto our plates.A plate of shellfish could contain up to 50 plastic pieces.A number of countries have announced they will ban microbeads, including the UK and the US, but campaigners say that more still needs to be done to pletely wipe out the tiny grains of plastic for good. Theres a lot of products containing microbeads - like washing products and other household products - which might not be forbidden. That makes no sense to us, Fiona Nicholls of Greenpeace UK writes on its website.After all, what does a hungry fish care if the micropl astic destroying its digestive system has e from a face cream or a washing powder? There are still safe ways to deal wih microbead-containing products, and for people who decide they dont want to use them any more, they can use some natural objects.29. We can know that the Microbeads_. A.are widely used in daily cosmetics. B.are now very popular among young women. C.are helpful in protecting the face and body. D.can be clearly seen in the supermarkets.30. According to the passage, many kinds of sea life _. A.are kept in big pools. B.eat the microbeads for food by mistake. C.are trained for people entertainment. D.have been killed by humans on purpose.31. Why are people worried about the plastic at sea? A. Because it has endangered the safety of humans ships. B. Because it hurts many kinds of shellfishes. C. Because it has seriously polluted our drinking water. D. Because it will absorb toxins and enter our food chain.32. What does the passage mainly talk about? A.People should protect the environment. B.Protecting the ocean is important. C.Mirobeads in cosmetics are endangering the sea life. D.There is a new type of human-ocean relationship.D Sea Life Melbourne Aquarium (水族馆) The all-new Sea Life Melbourne Aquarium, situated in the heart of Melbournes CBD, is one of Victorias leading visitor attractions and an unforgettable outing for the whole family.
