In the case of China, the latest battle field is beauty camera apps, which have become an overnight hit in the West. 1. MeituPic Developed by the Xiamen-based Meitu Inc, MeituPic is the company’s flagship beauty camera app and was the first to become a big hit among Western users. The app has drawn some 456 million users, who use it to post more than 6 billion photos every month. In addition to MeituPic, Meitu Inc has developed a series of beauty camera apps such as Beauty Plus, Poster Labs and Meipai, each specializing in facial feature improvement, video editing and many other features. 2. Pitu Tian Tian Pi Tu, is a beauty app developed by China’s Internet giant Tencent. Similar to other photo-editing apps, Pitu offers a number of beautifying filters, blemish（瑕疵） removing tools and virtual makeup choices for users to choose from. Launched in 2014, Pitu has accumulated 106 million monthly active users (MAUs). While the number is not as impressive as that of Meitu’ s apps, some argue that the user base of Tencent’ s gaming products and chat applications, such as QQ and WeChat, gives Pitu great potential for further growth. According to Chinese app watchers, Pitu’ s target audience is younger and more individualized than that of MeituPic. 80 percent of Pitu’ s users are younger than 25, giving the app more room to try out more new features. 3. FaceU In contrast with most other beauty apps, FaceU, focuses more on the social feature, encouraging users to video chat with friends and even strangers while playing with its fun stickers (贴纸) — and the strategy is undoubtedly working. Launched in 2016, the app, which mainly targets female users between 15 and 35, has twice made it onto the Apple store’ s Chart for top apps. 21. Meitu Inc has developed a series of beauty camera apps except ______. A. Meipai. B. MeituPic. C. Tian Tian Pi Tu. D. Beauty Plus. 22. What gives Tian Tian Pi Tu more room to grow potentially? A. The amount of Meitu Apps’s potential users. B. Users of Tencent’s gaming products and chat apps. C. The various kinds of photo-editing functions. D. The room to try out more new features. 23. According to the passage, what do the three Apps have in common? A. They mainly target young users. B. They all launched in 2016. C. They specialize in photo editing. D. They are popular and hot. B Tencent announced yesterday that it will limit the daily time for youngsters to play its popular King of Glory game after parents and schools in Shanghai and other areas complained their children had become addicted to(上瘾) playing it. From tomorrow, children younger than 12 will only be allowed to play the game for a maximum(最大值) of one hour a day, and after 9 pm, they will be banned from logging into it, said Tencent. Those older than 12 will be able to play a maximum two hours a day. The game system will remind players the time they have been playing and young players will be forced to log out when the time is up. Tencent claimed these were the strictest measures in China’s game industry to prevent addiction and the company expected they would ease parents’ anxiety. The company also said it had updated its system for parents to keep tabs on their children using its games. Since February, parents can receive messages when children log in and spend money on the game after they connect children’s game accounts with their mobile phone numbers. Now, parents can connect phones, tablets or computers that their children use to play games, so that they can keep an eye on the children even if they have several game accounts, Tencent said. Song Zhe, a father of a Shanghai high school student, welcomed the measures but was not sure if they would be sufficiently effective. “I like the system that could lock up the devices as children can register many accounts,” he said, “but children are so clever that they can always think out counter measures.” 24. What can we infer from Paragraph 2? A. Kids under 11 could play the game for at most 7 hours in a week. B. Girls under 8 are able to log in the game at 10 pm. C. Those older than 16 are able to play the game all the time. D. Children over 13 can log in the game after playing 3 hours in a day. 25. The underlined phrase “keep tabs on” is closest in meaning to “_________”. A. be careful with B. be in control of C. have an eye on D. keep contact with 26. What can we learn about the game system according to the passage? A. Parents can monitor their children even if they try to register different game accounts. B. Parents need to connect their tablets or computers to the game accounts of their children. C. Parents can be reminded of the time their children have been playing the games. D. Parents should pay attention to their phones all the time in case they miss any message. 27. What did Song Zhe think of the game system? A. The game system was absolutely welcomed by him. B. Children were too dull to break out of the system. C. He was uncertain about the effectiveness of the system. D. Children could register lots of accounts to unlock the devices. C A well-dressed man entered a famous jewelry shop. He explained that he wished to buy a pearl（珍珠）for his wife’s birthday. The price didn’t matter, since business had been very good for him that year. After examining a nice black one that cost $5, 000, he paid for the pearl in cash, shook hands with the jeweler and left. A few days later the man returned and said that his wife liked the pearl so much that she wanted another one just like this. It had to be exactly the same size and quality, as she wanted a pair of earrings made. “Can you give me any advice on how to get such a pearl?” said the man. The jeweler regretfully replied “I would say it’s absolutely impossible to find one exactly like that pearl”. The rich man insisted that the jeweler advertise in the newspapers, offering $25,000 for the matching pearl. Many people answered the advertisement but nobody had a pearl that was just right. Just when the jeweler had given up hope, a little old lady came into his store. To his great surprise, she pulled the perfect pearl from her purse.” “I don’t like to part with it”, she said sadly. “I got it from my mother, and my mother got it from hers. But I really need the money”. The jeweler was quick to pay her before she changed her mind. Then he called the rich man’s hotel to tell him the good news. The man however was nowhere to be found. 28. Who did the man pretend to buy a pearl for? A. His wife. B. His mother-in-law. C. His own mother. D. No one. 29. Why did he pay $5,000 for the black pearl without bargaining? A. Because he was very rich. B. Because he wanted to make the jeweler believe him. C. Because his wife was anxious to get it. D. Because his business had been successful. 30. Why did many people answer the advertisement? A. Because they wanted to see the perfect pearl. B. Because they wanted to buy some beautiful pearl too. C. Because they wanted to get in touch with the rich man. D. Because they wanted to sell their own pearl at a high price. 31. The jeweler couldn’t find the man anywhere because __________. A. he died suddenly B. he happened to be out C. he got $20,000 by cheating and had run away with the money D. he wouldn’t show up until the jeweler called him a second time Ramadan D A teenager needs to have a sense of independence in their life to feel secure （安全的）. To some teenagers independence means a lot to them, and I think that some parents don’t allow their teenagers enough independence. Independence has something to do with freedom. Some kids are not allowed to go anywhere alone, and the only thing their schedule includes is going to school, coming home, going to sleep, and repeating the process the next day. Parents tend to be afraid that their kids can get hurt if they go outside into the world. But if parents control their kids too much, they may never learn to live on their own. The best way for a teenager to learn lesson is through experience. I think it is beneficial for teenagers to have freedom. Teenagers’ lack of freedom can also stop them from having good friendship at school. Some might say this is a good thing, because it helps them focus more on their school work. I argue that this can only discourage them not to do their school work. Some parents do not allow their children to be around their friends outside the school, thinking that this will get them into trouble. But I don’t think so. Instead, isn’t this a good reason for parents to get their children a cellphone? Cellphones allow teenagers to stay in touch with their parents, and communicate with friends. Privacy is another issue between parents and their teenagers. Teenagers tend to enjoy relaxation by themselves in their own room. This also gives them a sense of independence. It often annoys teenagers when their parents enter their room when they are not home. I know that my mom always goes in my room when I’m not home, and this has brought me to the point where I have asked many times to get a lock on my door. 32. What is the main idea of the second paragraph? A. Kids know how to live independently. B. Some parents allow their kids no freedom. C. It benefits teenagers to have freedom. D. Kids have a dull routine every day 33. In the opinion of the author, ___________. A. parents should make it easy for kids to communicate with their friends B. good friendships between kids harm their school work C. it is unnecessary for a kid to have a cellphone D. kids should focus on the school work 34. How do teenagers usually feel when their parents enter their rooms in their absence? A. Disappointed B. Lucky C. Angry D. Calm 35. The author hopes to have her door locked in order to ______________. A. keep her father from reading her dairy B. prevent her mother entering her room C. Protect herself from any harm D. Stop thieves from going in 第二节 （共 5 小题，每小题 2 分，满分 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，其中有两项为多余选 项。 Stress is so common that many people choose to ignore it. But without proper management, stress can become much more serious. 36 1. Breathe 37 Slow, deep breathing stops the mind focusing on whatever else might be going on, and actively lowers stress levels. 2. Write Instead of allowing a jumble (混乱) of thoughts and ideas to jump around inside your head, let them fall out onto your computer keyboard instead. 38 They don’t even have to make sense. Minutes later, you might be surprised at how light and airy you feel. 3.Walk If you’re feeling stressed, drop everything and go for a walk. 39 Walking provides your body with an ideal outlet(完美的出口) for the energy that stress can create. 4. Laugh If you’re stressed, the last thing you probably feel like doing is laughing. 40 If you are able to smile during your day, you’ll soon begin to see the effects of stress slowly disappear. A. Stress is not good for people’s health. B. Here are four ways to deal with stress. C. Deep breathing lowers the blood pressure. D. Laughing can calm the nerves and reduce stress. E. Or write down your feelings onto a piece of paper. F. Keep yourself at an easy speed and breathe properly. G.

Since our city is struggling for National Civilized City, as a responsible citizen, I think there is something to be improved. As we can see, shared bikes, increasingly popular in our city, are often parked at random, which damages the image of our city. Besides, the traffic issue is still a hard nut to crack because some drivers and pedestrians usually ignore the traffic rules, thus causing many accidents. My suggestions are as follows. Firstly, the government should produce stricter rules to regulate the management of bike-sharing system. Secondly, campaigns should be launched to remind the pubic to obey the public rules. I would appreciate it if you could take my suggestions into serious account. Yours Sincerely, Li Hua
