Both candidates（候 选人） could claim victory, and misinformation about the result would go viral. Anger, fake news and hate speech on social media could cause tensions. So what is Big Tech planning to do about it? Twitter Twitter says after election day candidates will not be permitted to claim they have won the election before a declared result. And candidates can't tweet or retweet content that affects with the election process. What will it do if that happens? Twitter will direct people to resources with accurate, up-to-date information about the election status. It won't take down tweets. But these tweets（推文）will be labelled. Reddit Reddit appears to go much further than Twitter. It says information that seeks to mislead or misrepresent the election results is not allowed and would be removed from the site. Reddit also has an entire page committed to what happens after the election. The site will host a series of “Ask Me Anything” events from the day after the election. Voting experts will be on hand to answer questions about the vote, and what people can expect in the coming days. YouTube YouTube says it will not allow "misleading claims about voting or content that encourages interference （干扰）in the process”. It also says it will remove false content that aims to change the results of an election. That goes further than Twitter and Reddit. Users will face the biggest punishment. YouTube will shut down the account permanently that posts misleading information if necessary. TikTok TikTok says it is working with independent fact checkers during the election period. It says it will remove misinformation related to the 2020 election including the vote itself. It is also adding an election misinformation option to in-app reporting so that users can flag content. In short, all these social media companies are treating the election, and its aftermath（后果） very seriously. We may know in a few days whether these measures are enough. 21. What does Twitter do with the tweets? A. It takes down tweets. B. It permits any tweets. C. It removes misinformation. D. It guides people to reliable resources. 22. What makes Reddit different from other Apps? A. To encourage users to flag the content. B. To connect users with voting experts. C. To remove misleading information. D. To be working with independent fact checkers. 23. Which of the following Apps will give the most serious punishment? A. Twitter B. Reddit C. YouTube D. TikTok I need help! I have to fix a leaking pipe in my bathroom but I'm not sure where to begin. I know I lack the necessary DIY skills, but luckily there are numerous books and online videos that will hopefully give me the information I need. Publications that help us to help ourselves are nothing new, but the range of them is increasing with advice being given far beyond practical tasks around the house. Bookshops these days are full of titles which claim to boost your self-confidence, your wealth, your love life or your career. Some claim to improve your life within seven days! It's big business and it's thought that the self-help industry is worth $10bn in the US alone. The first self-help book called 'How to Win Friends and Influence People' was published in 1936, and has since sold 30 million copies and is still popular now. It includes guidance on how to make people like you and how to make your life happier. It might seem strange to think that we need a book to tell us how to live our lives but self-help books remain a go to remedy for those of us looking for enlightenment. There are, of course, trends in what we need help with. Emma Marshall, who works at British bookshop Waterstones, says “at the moment we're in the tidying up, getting rid of things trend... I think the trend right now is about slowing down in your life." It seems there is always something we need help with, and reading about it can be very therapeutic - it makes us feel good, even if we don't do anything about it. Of course, the internet has become the place to go to for salvation. We've got used to searching for solutions online, and now these solutions even include how to fix or improve our lives. Interestingly, psychologist Caroline Beaton, says people called 'millennials' are self-critical - they are aware of their own faults - which also means they're more likely to spend time and money on self-help. There's also a theory that the self-help industry does well during a recession - people are perhaps even more likely to reach for self-help to improve their situation. Whatever the reason for the continued interest in self-help, it's good to know help is at hand when we need it. The alternative to finding a happier life is just to come to terms with yourself as you are -I know, I read about it in a book! Do you believe in self-help books? 24. Where else can you get self-help advice apart from books? A. From teachers B. From friends C. From the Internet D. From parents 25. What do you know about self-books? A. They may offer you some keys to success. B. They hasn't gained great popularity. C. All of us enjoy them very much. D. They can certainly improve your life within seven days. 26. Why do millennials spend more money on self-help books according to Caroline Beaton? A. They are stuck in a recession. B. They realize they are not perfect. C. They are more likely to have access to books. D. They haven't got used to searching for solutions online. 27. What can we infer from the passage? A. People don't have interest in self-help books. B. Accepting yourself as you are makes you happier. C. The self-help industry makes little difference during a recession. D. The current trend in self-help books is about rushing around and taking things easier. C What makes a person become an Olympic champion? In reality, a combination of biological environmental, and psychological factors as well as training and practice, all go into making a super athlete. Perhaps the most important factor involved in becoming a super athlete is genetics. Most Olympic competitors are equipped with certain unique physical characteristics. Take a super athlete's muscles, for example. In most human skeletal muscles（骨骼肌）,there are fast-twitch fibers and slow — twitch fibers. Fast-twitch fibers（快肌纤维）help us move quickly. They allow weightlifters to lift hundreds of kilos from the ground and over their heads in seconds. The legs of a super marathon runner, on the other hand, might contain up to 90 percent slow — twitch muscle fibers, which generate energy efficiently and enable people to control tiredness and keep moving for a longer period of time when they exercise long or hard. Some athletes' abilities are naturally enhanced by their environment. Those raised at high altitudes have blood that is rich in hemoglobin, which enables these athletes to run better. Cultural factors also help Tegla Loroupe, a young woman from northern Kenya, won several marathons. She attributes some of her success to her country’s high altitude and her cultural background. As a child, she had to run ten kilometers to school every day. Although genetics, environment, and even culture play a part in becoming a super athlete, training and practice are needed to succeed. Weightlifters and gymnasts perfect their skills by repeating the same motions again and again until they are automatic. Training this way requires an athlete to be not only physically fit but psychologically healthy as well. How do athletes adjust to such intense pressure? Louganis explains how he learned to control his anxiety during a competition: "Most divers think too much... he says. "They're too much in their heads. What worked for me was humor. I remember thinking about what my mother would say if she saw me do a bad dive. She'd probably just compliment me on the beautiful splash." 28. Having a lot of slow — twitch muscle fibers is particularly important for. A. Weightlifters. B. Divers. C. Cyclists. D. Table tennis players. 29. What does the underlined word “attributes" in Paragraph 3 probably mean? A. Devotes. B. Compares. C. Exposes. D. Owes. 30. How does Louganis deal with his anxiety according to the passage? A. By thinking too much. B. By training hard. C. By laughing at the amusing things D. By speaking out. 31. Which of the following can be the best title of the text? A. Healthy Olympic Champions. B. Olympic Champions in the Making. C. Factors in Becoming Physically and Psychologically Healthy. D. Difference between an Athlete and an Average Person. D In the 1966 science-fiction film The Fantastic Voyage, a team of scientists and doctors are shrunk to microscopic size injected into the body of an injured man to save his life. The tiny crew travels through the body's dangerous environment to locate and repair the damaged part of the man's body. Eventually, the group manages to complete their task and the man awakens, fully cured. Such an idea sounds extraordinary to many. But what if it were possible to cure a disease like a cancer, using tiny particles injected into a person to find the cancer and destroy it without harming anything else in the body? Although it may seem like science fiction, tools like this are now being developed and may become common in the near future-thanks to research currently being done in the field of nanotechnology. Nanotechnology （ 纳 米 技 术 ） is really small. The prefix “nano” refers to a nanometer, which is one-billionth of a meter. A comma on a page of a book or magazine may be more than half a million nanometer. Using this technology, it will be possible to detect cancer at a stage when there are perhaps only a thousand bad cells. Compare this to what happens today: doctors can diagnose cancer only after the dangerous cells have multiplied into millions and developed a tumor. One of the advantages of detecting and treating cancer is that the cells is less likely to be resistant to drug treatment. Right now, most cancer treatments kill not only the dangerous cells but the healthy ones as well. Nanoparticles will allow doctors to attack cancerous tumors without disturbing healthy cells. Thus, it can deliver cancer-killing drugs to the cancer cells and allow doctors to deliver cancer treatment earlier, faster, and more thoroughly. Unfortunately, there are serious concerns that these same materials could have negative environment and health effects. In recent studies, fish exposed to water containing large amounts of nanoparticles suffered brain damage. And people are at risk as well. But many scientists don't think research into its many uses should be stopped. Meanwhile, research into the uses of nanotechnology in health and other fields continues. "What's amazing is how quickly this is evolving", says chemist Vicki Colin. "even ten years ago, a lot of these applications would have seemed pretty unrealistic." Perhaps, the old movie. The Fantastic Voyage, isn't so hard to believe after all. 32. What is the reading mainly about? A. A film called The Fantastic Voyage. B. How to detect different cancers. C. The dangers and side effects of nanotechnology. D. The application and development of nanotechnology. 33. What will happen if human beings are exposed to large amounts of nanoparticles? A. It will not have any influences. B. It may prevent many side effects. C. They will be in danger. D. Varieties of cancers will be cured. 34. What's the author's attitude towards nanotechnology? A. Skeptical. B. Objective. C. Critical D. Indifferent. 35. Which of the following statements will Vicki Colin support? A. Nanotechnology has progressed a lot in the last decade. B. Ten years ago, nanotechnology were very realistic. C. Some of these applications are ten years old. D. In ten years, there have been few realistic applications for nanotechnology. 第二节（共 5 小题，每小题 2 分，共 10 分） 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，选项中有两项为多余选项。 Tolerance means tolerating or putting up with differences. 36 . This concept means different things to different people, but it is when something is disagreeable, that tolerance is expected, and in more politically correct cultures, demanded. There are many different ways to show tolerance. A person might fully disagree with others on any issue, while at the same time respecting those with different opinions and treating them with dignity. 37 . One problem is the fact that this respect is sometimes one-sided. 38 . But some supporters feel reasonable in labeling those who disagree with hateful terms, and vice versa. People on both sides of an issue must be tolerant of each other. 39 . It does not mean that a person has to accept actions or ideas that are against his or her values or beliefs. It means that each person agrees to respect the others' right to his or her feelings on the matter. When both parties have expressed their opinions, and it is obvious that neither is likely to change position, agreeing to disagree is often the ideal outcome. Some degree of tolerance is necessary in any civilized society. 40 . It goes against human nature. Putting up with differences is a virtue that requires honest effort on the part of every person. It takes time to develop. A. Therefore, both parties should change their opinions if necessary. B. It is widely accepted that tolerance is a critical step towards a peaceful world. C. Disagreement alone does not equal intolerance. D. It refers to showing respect for the race, religion and opinions of other people. E. Those who disagree with a particular issue must respect the opinions of those who support it. F. However, it is not realistic to believe that all people can achieve it completely on every issue. G. When it comes to controversial issues. tolerance may also represent a "let's agree to disagree" attitude. 第三部分语言知识运用（共两节，满分 45 分） 第一节（共 20 小题，每小题 1.5 分，共 30 分） 阅读卜.面短文，掌握其大意，从每题所给的 A、B、C、D 四个选项中。选出最佳选项。 My daughter was only one year old in 2009 — tiny and 41 the master of a few basic words, but still mostly the baby we'd welcomed into the world, 42 all her first times.
