(2024·南通四校聯(lián)考)With his strong interest in national affairs, 37-year-old Song Zhigang was glued to the TV news during the 2024 Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation Summit. He not only learned all the latest information about the event, he was also inspired to write a song for Chinese President Xi Jinping and his wife, Peng Liyuan. Titled Xi Dada Loves Peng Mama, the song tells of the love between the couple, which goes “Xi Dada loves Peng Mama. Their love is like a myth. Peng Mama loves Xi Dada. A nation with love is the strongest.”
When the song was released in an online video on Nov. 18, it became an instant viral hit,_which has been viewed over 40 million times and stirred hot discussion. Many netizens said it?s sweet to listen to the song while seeing such photos, and some believe that the couple sets a good example for China?s young couples.
Born in Zhengzhou, Henan Province, Song works as an independent songwriter along with his team there, including singer-songwriters Yu Runze, Xu An and Wu Bai. Song says that he finished the lyrics within an hour and sent it to his team via cellphone. The team finished composing that night. They also made the music video by themselves, which was the first time that they had ever produced a music video and uploaded it online. The video of the song contains 33 photos and 2 cartoon illustrations of the couple, displaying small interactive moments, including tacit eye contact between the couple and hand touching when the couple played a swing. Nine children between 4 and 12 years old were invited to rap and sing along with the team. “When I
watched the couple appearing on TV, they seemed just like any other ordinary couple and I felt close to them. With some small sweet moments, I could feel the love between the couple,” says Song.
“Xi Dada” and “Peng Mama” have both become Internet buzz words, referring to the Chinese President and his popular wife. Song notes
that the couple has attracted worldwide attention and even what Peng wears becomes headlines.
Yu Runze, 32, is one of the singers and also comes from Zhengzhou. She says the team started to release songs online around four years ago, mostly pop love ballads. Though they could make ends meet by making music, they remained unknown before this song. “We didn?t expect that the song would gain so much popularity online. People share the same feeling we have about the couple, which is warm and sincere,” says Yu, who is a graduate of the Qilu Conservatory of Music, Shandong Province, and has released five albums since 2006, “We want to sing the song at 2024’s CCTV Spring Festival Gala.”

(2024·揚州市高三第一學(xué)期調(diào)研)Theres an old saying, “you are what you eat”. If you look at the average diet, we’re in trouble.
The rise of the society, irregular work hours and a quickening pace of life have led the consumption (消費) of fast food to increase. Nearly one in four of the meals we eat are prepared outside the home and they tend to contain more fat, salt and sugar than the homemade food.
Alongside the negative health outcomes of fast food are the environmental influences of industrialized food production and management of food waste.
Slow Food is a global food network, founded in 1989 in Italy by food activist Carlo Petrini, which has grown to over 100,000 members across 153 countries, including 31 local branches within Australia. Slow food is good, clean and fair food. People who eat slow food believe that the food they eat should taste good; that it should be produced in a clean way that does not harm the environment or our health; and that food producers should receive fair reward for their work.
Slow food movement has arisen to fight against fast food and fast life, by encouraging us to revalue the time we spend in preparing, sharing, and consuming food. It aims to enhance the personal connection between food producers and consumers, and reduce our reliance on mass-produced foods purchased from supermarkets.
It also advocates for environmental agricultural techniques and encourages the reduction of food additives. Perhaps most importantly, it attempts to show how we can revalue the time we spend on food so as to spend in quality food time for our personal (mental and physical) and collective (social, cultural, and environmental) benefits.
Slow Food guides us to take the time to enjoy one of life?s daily pleasures. There?s no doubt that cooking and eating in general is a lot more enjoyable for life when we?re not slaves of time. “Time” serves as a key factor for people?s interest in Slow Food as a form of reasonable consumption, but also a key challenge in terms of adopting a Slow Food lifestyle. And that?s why everybody is always in a hurry, because they don?t actually value that that?s an important thing to stop. Slowing down requires one to spend more time in educating oneself about food and then obtaining ethically produced food (放心食物).
★6.The old saying is mentioned at the beginning of the passage to introduce a topic that ________.
A.our average diet is in danger
B.fast food is a major problem
C.eating affects greatly on our life
D.quickening pace of life ruins our life
7.Slow food movement was started to ________.
A.a(chǎn)dvocate a new lifestyle
B.keep people free from illness
C.help people obtain more delicious food
D.develop environmental agriculture techniques
8.The underlined word “enhance” (Paragraph 5) probably means “________”.
A.decline B.strengthen
C.break
D.change
9.The main message conveyed in the passage is that ________.
A.Slow Food has grown to be an influential organization
B.Slow Food is a new lifestyle with many benefits for people to follow
C.Slow Food has been accepted and recognized by quantities of people
D.consuming too much fast food may result in negative effects on peoples health
C
(2024·無錫市普通高中高三期末考試)Repeated exposure to social networking sites leaves users with an “identity crisis”, wanting attention in the manner of a baby saying, “Look at me, Mummy, Ive done this.”
Professor Baroness Greenfield believes the growth of internet “friendships”, as well as greater use of computer games, could effectively “rewire” the brain.
This can result in reduced concentration, a need for instant satisfaction on poor non-verbal skills, such as the ability to make eye contact during conversations.
More than 750 million people across the world use Facebook to share photographs and videos and post regular updates of their movements and thoughts. Millions have also signed up to Twitter, the “micro-blogging” service that lets members circulate short text and picture messages about themselves.
Baroness Greenfield said, “What concerns me is the banality of so much that goes out on Twitter.” Why should someone be interested in what someone else has had for breakfast? It reminds me of a small child saying,“Look at me Mummy, I’m doing this.”, “Look at me Mummy, Im doing that.”
“It’s almost as if they’re in some kind of identity crisis.” The academic suggested that some Facebook users feel the need to become “mini-celebrities”, who are watched and admired by others on a daily basis. They do things that are “Facebook worthy” because the only way they can define themselves is by people knowing about them.
“It’s almost as if people are living in a world that’s not a real world, but a world where what counts is what people think of you or (if they) can click on you,” she said.
“Think of the implications for society if people worry more about what other people think about them than what they think about themselves.”
Her views were supported by Sue Palmer, a literary expert and author, who said girls in particular believe they are “goods they must sell to other people” on Facebook.
She said,“People used to have a portrait painted but now we can more or less design our own picture online. It’s like being the star of your own reality TV show that you create and put out to the world.”
10.People who often use Facebook and Twitter will _____________________________.
A.develop strong online friendship with other users
B.improve their ability to focus their attention on things
C.develop non-verbal skills to communicate with each other
D.have a childlike desire for constant feedback on their lives
11.The underlined word “banality” in the passage may mean something that is ________.
A.dull
B.interesting
C.important
D.serious
★12.The purpose of the passage is ________.
A.to advise people to use less social networking
B.to warn people not to be cheated on Facebook
C.to introduce the functions of Facebook and Twitter
D.to explain the identity crisis of Facebook and Twitter

2.選D 推理判斷題。根據(jù)文章第二段最后一句中“and some believe that the couple sets a good example for Chinas young couples”可推知,許多網(wǎng)民認為習(xí)主席及其夫人給中國的年輕夫婦樹立了好的榜樣。故答案選D。
3.選A 寫作意圖題。根據(jù)對文章的整體理解可知,本文主要是想給讀者介紹網(wǎng)絡(luò)流行歌曲《習(xí)大大愛著彭麻麻》及這首歌的創(chuàng)作團隊。故答案選A。

語篇解讀:本文是一篇說明文。文章介紹了一種新的生活方式——慢食。與“快餐”對應(yīng),“慢食”是一種健康的生活方式,它健康環(huán)保,能讓人們享受生活,體會生活的樂趣,這也正是“慢食”網(wǎng)站創(chuàng)立者們的初衷。6.選C 寫作意圖題。根據(jù)該諺語“you are what you eat”,并聯(lián)系下文中關(guān)于吃對人們生活的影響的描述可知,文章開篇使用這一諺語旨在引出話題:吃對人們生活的影響非常大。故C項正確。
7.選A 細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第四段最后一句“People who eat ... or our health ...”及第五段第一句“Slow food movement has arisen to fight against fast food and fast life ...”可知,提倡“慢食”活動旨在倡導(dǎo)一種不損害環(huán)境和我們健康的新的生活方式。故A項正確。
8.選B 詞義猜測題。根據(jù)畫線詞后的“the personal connection ...purchased from supermarkets”可推知,提倡“慢食”運動旨在加強食品生產(chǎn)者和消費者之間的聯(lián)系,降低消費者對從超市購買的大批量生產(chǎn)的食物的依賴。由此可知,畫線詞應(yīng)與reduce的詞義相反,意為“加強”。故B項正確。

11.選A 詞義猜測題。要猜測單詞“banality”的意思,需要正確理解句子中“concerns”的意思,它在本句中意為“使擔(dān)心”而不是“關(guān)心”。句意:使我擔(dān)心的是在推特網(wǎng)上有那么多的“banality”。下一句“Why should someone be ... for breakfast?”意為“為什么別人會對其他人早飯吃了什么感興趣呢?”。由此可推知,“banality”指類似于關(guān)心別人早飯吃了什么的一些無聊的話題。故答案選A。
12.選A 寫作意圖題??v觀全文可知,作者從多方面列舉了一些過多進行網(wǎng)上交流的弊端,并結(jié)合倒數(shù)第五段第一句“Its almost as if ... identity crisis.”可知,他們好像是處于某種身份危機中。因此可以總結(jié)出作者寫作本文的目的是想建議人們減少使用社交網(wǎng)絡(luò)。故答案選A。
