If you think about it, the English language has written into it negative associations toward the clouds. Someone whos down or depressed, theyre “under a cloud”. And when theres bad news in store, theres “a cloud on the horizon”. I saw an article the other day. It was about problems with computer processing over the Internet. “A cloud over the cloud” was the headline But I think theyre beautiful. Dont you? Its just that their beauty is missed because theyre so omnipresent（普遍的） so, I dont know, commonplace that people dont notice them. They dont notice the beauty, but they dont even notice the clouds unless they get in the way of the sun. And so people think of clouds as things that get in the way. They think of them as the annoying, frustrating obstructions（妨碍物）, and then they rush off and do some blue-sky（清楚的）thinking.But most people, when you stop to ask them, will admit to harboring a strange sort of fondness for clouds. Its like a nostalgic（怀旧的）fondness, and they make them think of their youth. Who here cant remember thinking, well, looking and finding shapes in the clouds when they were kids? You know, when you were masters of daydreaming? Aristophanes, the ancient Greek playwright, described the clouds as the patron goddesses of idle fellows（懒人的守护女神）two and a half thousand years ago, and you can see what he means.Its just that these days, we adults seem reluctant to allow ourselves the indulgence（放任）of just allowing our imaginations to drift（漂动）along in the breeze, and I think thats a pity. I think we should perhaps do a bit more of it. I think we should be a bit more willing, perhaps, to look at the beautiful sight of the sunlight bursting out from behind the clouds and go: “Wait a minute, thats two cats dancing the salsa（莎莎舞）!”Sometimes we need excuses to do nothing. We need to be reminded by these patron goddesses of idle fellows to slow down and be in the present, not thinking about what youve got to do and what you should have done, but just being here, letting your imagination lift from the everyday concerns 26. What is the second paragraph mainly about?A. How “cloud” has various meanings in the English language.B. Why so many people like to complain about clouds.C. The fact that clouds are usually associated with negative things.D. The many different English phrases related to the word “cloud”.27. The writer thinks that people consider clouds to be annoying obstructions mainly because _.A. they dont pay enough attention to their beautyB. they think they are too commonC. they dislike using their imaginationsD. they find clouds inconvenient28. By mentioning the patron goddesses of idle fellows in the fourth paragraph, the writer intends to _.A. tell the readers what his love for clouds is rooted inB. introduce what clouds meant to the ancient GreeksC. make the point that ancient people loved cloudsD. explain why Aristophanes was so fond of clouds29. What advice does the author give to readers?A. We should be more imaginative.B. We should be more willing to change ourselves.C. We should improve our ability to discover beauty.D. We should slow down and enjoy the present more.CWant to know who is the worlds tallest person, who has the highest IQ, who collects the most toys or who ate the largest hamburger in the shortest amount of time? Then look no further than the Guinness Book of World Records.As a compiler（汇编者）of amazing, zany（荒唐的）and outrageous（骇人听闻的）feats and achievements, Guinness is in a class of its own. And some people believe that making it into the book is an achievement worth any risk.With its 2020 version coming out on Sept 12, many daredevils（蛮勇的人）are getting ready to raise the stakes.Susanne Eman is one of them. The 34-year-old American has made it her goal to break the record for “Worlds Heaviest Woman”, currently set at 643 pounds (291.7 kg).To many observers, though, winning a mention in a book might pale in comparison to the health risks associated with being so heavy.So what drives people to put their lives on the line for a mention in a book and a certificate?Los Angeles-based psychotherapist Nancy Irwin told The Huffington Post she believes people who want to set records often do so to fill a void（空白）in other aspects of their lives.“In a case like this, there is a sense of narcissism（自恋）that suggests shes desperate for attention and wants to stand out,” Irwin said. “You have to understand that there is a positive intent（意图）behind every activity, even if it has a negative outcome.”However, Ashrita Furman, who holds the highest total number of Guinness World Records, including the highest mountain climbed on stilts（高跷）, thinks challenges to transcend（超越）limitations and be the best in the world should be an inspiring thing to do. And he doesnt support Eman. “I dont get her its not healthy. I think Guinness should highly disapprove of a record like that,” the 59-year-old American told The Huffington Post.A Guinness representative released a statement claiming that the organizations policy isnt to support or celebrate “achievements” like Emans, but simply to document the extremes that exist in the world.30. The underlined phrase “raise the stakes” in the third paragraph probably means_.A. show off their unique skillsB. increase the risks involvedC. make smart preparations for somethingD. spend more money on something31. With the example of Eman, the author intends to _.A. introduce who is the “Worlds Heaviest Woman”B. criticize the 2020 version of the Guinness Book of World RecordsC. explain what efforts Eman has made to break the world recordD. show a negative goal that someone set to achieve a Guinness World Record and his or her possible reasons32. According to Nancy Irwin, some risk their lives to compete for a mention in Guinness because _.A. they desire attentionB. they seek fame and fortuneC. they wish to challenge themselves and live a meaningful lifeD. they want to prove and celebrate their uniqueness33. Which of the following statements about Guinness might Ashrita Furman agree with, according to the text?A. Those who try to set a world record at the risk of their lives deserve a reward.B. Emans achievements are absolutely worth a mention in the Guinness book.C. Not all kinds of world records should be collected in the Guinness Book of WorldRecords.D. The organization should improve its policies to celebrate a greater variety ofachievements.DAre you looking for a film to heat up the already-scorching（炽热的）temperatures? Look no further than Tiny Times. The series has rocked the box office: the first movie raked in（轻松入账）73 million yuan on its opening day, the best draw ever for a Chinese film.However, the series has been the subject of controversies and heated debates. Based on the novels of Guo Jingming, 30, the movie series, also Guos directorial debut（首秀）, follows the fortunes of four college girls who have been best friends since high school.The film has friendship, romance and workplace survival. But Tiny Times has struck a nerve with the public with its display of a luxurious（奢侈的）lifestyle fur coats, limousine（豪华轿车）cars and top-floor apartments in metropolitan Shanghai, things that are only a daydream for many.“Love without materialism is just a pile of sand,” says Gu Li, a leading character in the movie.“The film puts too much emphasis on bling-bling items, and that distracts from its theme,” said 17-year-old Jiang Yiling, a Senior 2 student at Wuhan Foreign Languages School.Shenzhen Economic Daily called the film “luxury good guides” for its depictions of expensive brand name merchandise（商品）.Raymond Zhou, a well-known critic, didnt like the film because of its “sickening greed（贪婪）”. “Its promotion of materialism is far worse than advertising in luxury magazines,” he wrote for The Beijing News. “It is instigating（鼓动）the kind of money-worship that will bring up a generation of gold diggers.”Despite all the controversy, Guo defended the film by saying that it actually focuses on the “power of friendship”.Some students disagree. “The movie touches upon friendships, but it doesnt go deep enough into them. The presentation of the four girls friendship lacks development and feels quite shallow,” said Wang Yunshan, 17, a Senior 2 student at Changzhou Senior High School of Jiangsu province.“Everyones existence and worth can be objectified. The way to express your friendship is through brand name gifts. Loves purity is shown through how expensive the gifts are,” commented The Beijing News.Despite the fierce war of words, many teenagers still enjoyed the beauty of its star cast and romantic storyline.“Some of my female classmates love to watch The Devil Wears Prada（穿普拉达的女王）which showcases the glitzy（炫目的）, metropolitan lifestyle, and Gossip Girl（绯闻女孩）, which is full of complex soap opera drama,” said 18-year-old Zhu Chen, a Senior 3 student at Fuzhou No 3 High School. “Tiny Times includes both, creating an unreal world catering to（迎合）youths fantasies.”34. What is the authors main purpose in writing the article?A. To promote the movie Tiny Times.B. To explore why Tiny Times is so popular.C. To introduce how Tiny Times was directed.D. To analyze why Tiny Times is controversial.35. Some people dislike Tiny Times because they think _.A. the plot of the movie is not appealing enoughB. the lifestyle depicted in the movie is not relevant to common peopleC. the movie advertises luxury brandsD. it has much in common with The Devil Wears Prada and Gossip Girl36. What can we conclude from the article?A. The movie is more appealing to adults than teenagers.B. The movie tells young people they can have love without materialism.C. The four girls friendships in the movie touched the majority of viewers.D. The way that the movie expressed love and friendship dissatisfied some viewers.EWhen you watch TV, read newspapers or browse the Internet, you cant help but experience advertising. Whether we want to admit it or not, however, some ads are so creative that they immediately catch our interest.“Long after the audiences have forgotten everything else about the advertising, they may remember the catchphrase（广告用语）,” US marketing expert Geoffery Moore wrote on his blog.Indeed, a good catchphrase, or slogan（标语）, can highlight the essence（精髓）of a companys culture and quickly project the product to the target market. It is not hard to see that advertising professionals spend a huge amount of time and money on making these short phrases catchy and memorable. On her blog, US master marketer Marcia Yudkin offers an explanation of how marketers come up with slogans.Normally, the first step is to brainstorm lots of descriptive words related to the product at least 50 per product. Then, various groups of these words are combined until one group is found that sings and dances well together as a short phrase or sentence.After advertisers have several candidate（备选）slogans, they run a telephone test on the top choices. That is, they check whether someone hearing the catchphrase without looking at it can understand what it means out of context（情境）.When it comes to the final decision, advertisers take their favorite choices to people who havent heard them yet or to potential customers who dont know much about the company. They ask the test audience what each catchphrase conveys to them. If they dont understand it or if they receive a negative message or one that the advertising professionals didnt intend, that usually means that the slogan wont work. The ones that ace all of these tests are the ones that make it into magazines and onto TV.Tripwire magazine released a list of 50 catchy and creative catchphrases. Below Teens has listed five of the best slogans ever along with the products they represent. Take a look.1. Just do it Nike2. Im lovin it McDonalds3. Think different Apple4. Ideas for life Panasonic5. Melts in your mouth . not in your hands M&Ms37. What is the main purpose of the article?A. To introduce some popular advertising catchphrases.B. To explore how an adver
