22、When I was 4, my parents decided they could no longer live together. That same year, my mom moved to Los Angeles (L.A.) and a therapist (治疗师) was hired to decide where I would live. Playing with a dollhouse in her office, I showed her the mother’s room on one side and the father’s room on the other. When she asked me about the little boy’s room, I told her the little boy didn’t know where to sleep.
The therapist finally decided I would stay with my dad during the school years and visit my mom on long holidays and for summers. I began flying between two cities and leading two different lives. I remember my last school day in Grade Six. My friends made plans to go to the beach together, but I couldn’t join them because I had to fly to L.A. It wasn’t that I didn’t want to see my mom and stepdad; I just didn’t want to leave my friends. It wasn’t easy to put up a wall, and pretend I didn’t hate saying goodbye to them. In the morning, my dad drove me to school with my packed bags, and after school, my friends went together, and I went to the airport.
What has come of this in the end is that I’m always missing somebody. When I’m in northern California, I miss my mom and stepdad, while in L.A. I miss going out with my friends, my dad, and my little brother and sister. But after so many flights, I’ve learned that it’s also fun traveling between two cities and experiencing different lives. Other children may not have the opportunity to experience so much.

23、 On a recent visit to the Museum of Modern Art with a friend and her daughter, wandering through the museum’s exhibits, I was struck by how often my friend's 13-year-old daughter asked us to take photos of her with her smart phone in front of the artwork. Then, she gazed at the photos which she would then post on Instagram, Snapchat and all the rest. She was not the only person who was doing this; it seemed everyone was busy taking photos of themselves “experiencing” the museum.
This is by no means a criticism of my friend’s daughter or anyone else. What was concerning, at least to me, was that in between being photographed and posting, my friend’s daughter had no interest in the artwork, a fact which didn’t seem to matter or have anything to do with wanting to post herself as someone enjoying the experience.
When I was her age. I had no interest in going to museums either. Having no interest in art at her age (and any age) is completely normal. But what is disturbing is how much of a young person’s energy these days goes into creating an image of the life they’re living and the character they “are” in that life. While creating a self-image has always been a big part of growing up and figuring out our identity, social media seems to have changed the rules of the game. Social media has not just increased the pressure and possibility of creating, a self-generated (自我创造的) self-image, but also distorted (歪曲) the process through which we become who we are. Young people now seem to be creating an image of who they are in place of becoming who they are, posting their life rather than living it. The effort that goes into creating an identity and getting it noticed or “followed” has replaced the effort of actually getting interested in the life that they are posting.
Social media has turned life and its experiences into an exercise in narcissism (自我陶醉). No matter what the experience is actually about, it becomes about you, the person who is living it. A concert is not about the music, a restaurant not about the food, and a sports event not about the sport; it’s all about you, the doer, and what the event says about you. Life experiences are not lived directly so much as they are used as chances of announcing what kind of person you are. Life now is a product through which you promote your image, but with little connection to whether that screen image accurately reflects the inside you.
As a result, the more we use life to create an identity, the more distant from life we feel. Instead of being part of it, we feel as if we have to keep generating new life material, which will announce and establish us. In the meanwhile, the gap between us and life grows wider and wider.
I hope the next time you post your story, pause for a moment and experience where you are, feel what it feels like to live what you ‘re living without using life for your benefit, or for anything at all. Just live, without the narrative (叙述). While you may feel this practice is a threat to your identity, causing you to miss a chance to prove your value, in fact, the benefit will far outweigh any loss it brings.
【1】According to the author, the fact that her friend’s daughter was not interested in the artwork is ________.
A.worrying B.unsurprising
C.unchangeable D.unbearable
【2】Which of the following is the basic reason behind people’s continuously posting their life?
A.Their desire for being well known.
B.Their increased focus on life.
C.The influence of social media
D.The pressure from their family and friends.
【3】The author believes that the identity people create through narcissism may _______.
A.prevent them behaving properly
B.stand in the way of leading a true life
C.cause them to depend more on the remarks of others
D.damage their creativity in producing life material
【4】The underlined “it” in the last paragraph refers to _______.
A.trying to take control of your feelings
B.facing the threat to your identity bravely
C.improving your self-image through writing
D.experiencing what you’re doing practically
24、In Plastic China, a documentary shot by Wang Jiuliang, Chen Feng (not his real name) makes his living by recycling plastic waste imported from developed countries. His family lives among the garbage and his young son often finds “toys” around him. Used plastic injectors (注射器) are his favorite.
China was once the world’s biggest recipient of overseas trash. Many people like Chen Feng work at centers recycling imported waste, also called foreign garbage.
From January 1, 2021, China made a sweeping ban on all imports of solid waste. The waste products from overseas on Chinese territory are also banned.
China began importing solid waste in 1980 when the country didn’t have enough raw materials (原材料). The recycling of imported waste helped to fill that gap. Recycling foreign trash, such as plastics, paper and metals, has supported the development of China’s manufacturing (制造业的) sector and furthered its economy. After being processed, garbage can be turned into materials that can be used to make products, such as chairs and bags.
However, waste that can’t be used is either burned or buried, while processing recyclables also leads to water, air and land pollution, as well as sickness. In Guiyu, Guangdong Province, once China’s largest disposal center for electronic trash, over 90 per cent of kids showed high levels of lead in their blood, according to a report that tracked the health of local children in the years from 2006 to 2013.
In addition, about 10 billion tons of solid waste are produced annually in China, which also has to be handled appropriately. According to China Daily, the ban taking effect in 2021 is the culmination (高潮) of policies introduced since 2017 to phase out the import of solid waste. Since 2017, the volume of imported waste has fallen by 68 per cent, from 42 million to 13 million tons in 2019.
“Realizing the goal of zero imports of solid waste is in sight,” said Qiu Qiwen, from the Ministry of Ecology and Environment.
【1】The example of Chen Feng is intended to ________.
A．promote the documentary shot
B．highlight the importance of recycling
C．introduce the topic of the overseas trash
D．call for the attention to developing countries
【2】What may account for the recycling of imported waste in 1980?
A．Public interest.
B．Economic reform.
C．Lack of raw materials.
D．The gap of development.
【3】What does the fifth paragraph mainly tell us?
A．Importing this waste has brought more risks than benefits.
B．There is a long way to go before electronic trash is removed.
C．Air pollution is the main contributor to kid’s health problems.
D．Recycling garbage has led kids in China to suffer blood problems.
【4】What does Qiu Qiwen think of the sweeping ban?
A．Doubtful.
B．Hopeful.
C．Incomplete.
D．Unreasonable.

26、阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
A holiday in Penang is an annual affair for my family. My parents grew up in Penang and are very fond of Penang food. In December every year, we would drive up to the island to spend three days visiting their favorite food haunts (常去的地方).
This year, we started our journey up north on a Friday morning. It took us six hours to reach our destination. We always stayed at one of the hotels in Batu Ferringhi. The beach was just a short walk from the hotel entrance and our rooms had a lovely view of the sea. We spent our first evening playing on the beach. After dinner, we returned to our rooms to play games. My parents had a rule for our holidays which was that we were to spend time doing things together. There was to be no TV and no Internet.
The next morning, we went to Bukit Bendera and then spent the rest of the afternoon in town visiting our favorite hawker stalls (小贩摊位). As we were having tea at a coffee shop, we overheard people talking about an earthquake near Sumatera, an island in Indonesia. We headed back to the hotel and then went to the beach. We took a walk along the beach, picking up seashells along the way. Looking up, I saw the sun shining brighter than I ever knew before. I saw a tree trembling in the distance as it reflected the sun’s rays. It never occurred to us that something awful would take place. Suddenly, I noticed a strange thing. The sea seemed to be leaving from the shore. I called my father to look at the curious occurrence. My father took one look and went pale. We saw a grey line in the distance moving towards the shore. It seemed to grow taller by the second.

My father shouted at us to run back to the hotel.
