This has given people more free time to learn new skills and find different ways to entertain themselves. Some of these activities include things like singing, learning to cook and ordering fresh food online. All of these things can be done in the palm of your hand with mobile apps. Before, young people would go outside and meet friends at karaoke bars. Now, friends can meet and sing on the mobile karaoke app Changba, which translates to Singing Bar. “The Changba app not only gives me the chance to sing whatever I like at home, but also lets me keep in touch with friends by sharing our songs,” said an app user. Some people have also taken up cooking as a new hobby to pass the time. You dont need to attend culinary (烹饪的) school, thanks to apps like Xiachufang and Ecook, which make it easier for those who want to learn how to cook. ? These apps provide a platform for users to look up different recipes (菜谱) and to share their own recipes with others. “Using this app, I have learned many new and healthy dishes which help me eat better,” an app user commented on the apps website. To help people avoid crowded places like grocery stores, apps that deliver goods right to your door have also become very popular. “It is noteworthy that the epidemic has attracted new groups of consumers, such as elderly people, who originally didnt belong to our target user group,” Zhang Yi, an analyst from the market research company iiMedia Research, said. Indeed, during this special time, these apps have opened up a whole new world of opportunities for people of all ages and backgrounds. 51. What did the author tell us about Changba in Paragraph 3?A. It is more user-friendly than karaoke bars. B. It helps users to discover their singing talent.C. It allows users to improve their singing skills fast. D. It provides opportunities to communicate with friends.52. What does the article tell us about food-delivery apps?A. They have lost many young customers.B. They have more elderly users than before. C. They have opened culinary classes for their users.D. They have caused many grocery stores to close. 53. What is the purpose of the article?A. To introduce the mobile apps people use during self-isolation. B. To advertise mobile apps used for different purposes.C. To show how people kill time during self-isolation.D. To tell people how to make full use of mobile apps.BId always wondered what the point of traveling was. If were only going to end up back in our daily routine anyway, arent we just cheating ourselves?Sept. 27 is World Tourism Day. It also happens to be exactly three months from the day my three friends and I left for a one-week trip to Moalboal, Philippines, to learn scuba diving（水肺潜水）. It wasnt the typical relaxing vacation that most people would have taken. We spent our first morning sitting in a room watching tutorial videos, while the rest of the days we would practice what wed learned from the video with our instructor, first in the pool and then in the sea. Every day, we had to dress ourselves up in a tight diving suit and a jacket with a heavy steel tank on the back.But somehow, the experience changed us.For starters, it allowed us to get to know ourselves better. When we had to fully concentrate on our breathing underwater even a little bit of difference in the amount of air we breathed in or out could have changed our buoyancy（浮力） we started to realize how wed been taking it for granted and had never truly “felt” ourselves breathe.And its influence continues.During the three months that weve been back from the trip, weve visited two diving expositions something we wouldnt have been interested in before where we learned about free diving, which is diving holding your breath, without an extra supply of air. We were fascinated and signed up for free diving courses without hesitation. Just like that, we got ourselves yet another new hobby.The trip also gave me the idea of documenting our underwater adventure in the form of a film. I knew nothing about filmmaking, so I decided to teach myself how to use movie-editing software. Two months of trial and error later, I ended up with a pretty satisfactory 20-minute-long film, and I can now add “moviemaker” to my list of achievements, next to “scuba diver”. Six months ago, did I expect all these new experiences would be in my future? Of course not. So while it may be true that theres no escape from our daily routine, at least by traveling we can always escape our “old self”, and maybe even pick up some new skills.54. What is the authors main purpose in writing this article? A. To share her diving experience. B. To explore the purpose of traveling. C. To encourage readers to learn to dive. D. To describe her passion for scuba diving.55. During their trip to Moalboal, the author and her friends _. A. enjoyed a typical relaxing vacation B. found it easy to breathe under the sea C. spent most of their time learning and practicing diving D. went diving in the sea right after watching tutorial videos56. What message does the author intend to convey in the text? A. Traveling is a good way to relax. B. Traveling is a time for adventure. C. Traveling lets us discover a new side of ourselves. D. Traveling is simply an escape from our daily routines.CDear Alcohol,Youve been around forever. I can remember all the pain youve caused for me.Do you remember the night you almost took my fathers life? I do. He loves you. Sometimes I think he loves you more than he loves me. Hes addicted to you, to the way you promise to rid him of his problems only to cause more of them. You just sat back and laughed as his car went spinning through the street, crashing into two other cars. He wasnt the only one hurt by you that night. Do you remember the night of my first high school party? You were there. My friends were intrigued（被迷住了的）by you. They treated you as if they were never going to see you again, drinking all of you that they could. I spent two hours that night helping my friends who had fallen completely. “Im so embarrassed,” they said as I held their hair back so that they could vomit（呕吐）. “Im sorry,” they said when I called taxies for them, walking them out and paying the driver in advance. “This wont happen again,” they said as they were sent to the hospital to have their stomachs pumped. Two 15-year-old girls slept in hospital beds that night thanks to you.Do you remember the night when you took advantage of my 17-year-old neighbor who had to drive to pick up his sister from her dance lessons? Do you know how we all felt when he hit another car and killed the two people in the other car? He died the next morning too. His sister walked home from her dance lesson, and passed police cars and a crowd of people gathering on the sidewalk just two blocks away from the dance studio. She didnt realize her brother was in the midst of it all. She never saw him again. And its all your fault. I wish youd walk out of my life forever. I dont want anything to do with you. Look at all the pain youve caused. Sure, youve made people happy too from time to time. But the damage youve caused in the lives of millions is inexcusable. Stop luring（诱惑）in the people I love. Stop hurting me, please. Sincerely, Anonymous57. What is authors purpose in writing to alcohol? A. To introduce Mr. Alcohol to the readers. B. To show how much alcohol can hurt people. C. To describe the harm alcohol did to his family. D. To show the great fun that alcohol can bring to peoples life.58. What did alcohol do to the authors father? A. It made him kill two other people when driving. B. It made him crash into two other cars and took his life. C. It made him get into a car accident and badly injure himself. D. It made him drink too much and he had to get his stomach pumped.59. What is the main writing technique of the passage? A. Comparing one thing with another to make his point clear. B. Making something less noticeable than usual. C. Describing something by listing its harmfulness. D. Representing something in the form of a person.D “Have a nice day!”may be a pleasant gesture or a meaningless expression. When my friend Maxie says “Have a nice day” with a smile, I know she sincerely cares about what happens to me. I feel loved and secure since another person cares about me and wishes me well.“Have a nice day. Next!”This version of expression is spoken by a salesgirl at the supermarket who is rushing me and my groceries out the door. The words come out in the same tone (腔调) with a fixed procedure. They are spoken at me, not to me. Obviously, the concern for my day and everyone elses is the managements attempt to increase the business.The expression is one of those behaviors that help people get along with each other. Sometimes it indicates the end of a meeting. As soon as you hear it, you know the meeting is at an end. Sometimes the expression serves us when we dont know what to say. “Oh, you just had a tooth out? Im terribly sorry, but have a nice day.”The expression can be pleasant. If a stranger says “Have a nice day” to you, you may find it heart-warming because someone you dont know has tried to be nice to you.Although the use of the expression is an insincere, meaningless social custom at times, there is nothing wrong with the sentence except that it is a little uninteresting. The salesgirl, the waitress, the teacher, and all the countless others who speak it without thinking may not really care about my day. But in a strange and comfortable way, its nice to know they care enough to pretend they care when they really dont care all that much. While the expression may not often be sincere, it is always spoken. The point is that people say it all the time when they like.60. What does the underlined sentence in Paragraph 2 mean? A. The salesgirl is polite. B. The salesgirl is bored. C. The salesgirl cares about me. D. The salesgirl says the words as a routine (常规). 61. By saying “Have a nice day,” a stranger may _.A. express respect to you B. try to be polite to you C. give his blessing to you D. share his pleasure with you 62. What is the best title of the passage? A. Have a Nice Daya Social Custom B. Have a Nice Daya
