AI can’t remember the first time one of my children told me, “I hate you.” I can, however, tell you that it still happens occasionally, but it doesn’t bother me. As their father, I often say things that are un popular. If they hate me once in a while, I know I’m doing a good job.There are three other words that I won’t allow in my house, however. Last week, I waswatching my older son play with a paper airplane. After he accidentally threw it into a wall and it came apart, his eyes welled up with tears.“I hate myself,” he said. It wasn’t the first time he’d said it, and I was concerned that he’d started to actually believe it.I knelt down next to him and made him look into my eyes. I told him that I never wanted to hear those words again, and that he needed to respect himself.The difference between your kid telling you they hate you and them saying they hate themselves is that, five minutes later, they’ve already forgotten they “hate you”. Self-hate is much more potentially poisonous and for young people, it can linger into the rest of their life.Kids who start to believe they hate themselves sometimes struggle to form new friendships. As teenagers, they avoid the chance to connect with a potential love interest, because they assume they’ll be rejected. And as adults, they might choose not to apply for the dream job because they assume it won’t work out.I know this is true, because I didn’t have a high opinion of myself as a child. I found myself struggling i n many areas, and I’d hate to see my children suffer the same fate.Sometimes, words are just words. But some words can make the kind of impact I’d very much like to avoid for my children. I don’t fear strong language; I fear language that makes us weak.21.How did the author feel on hearing his kids saying “I hate you”?A. Depressed.B. Annoyed.C. Unconcerned.D. Excited.22.Why won’t the author allow the three words “I hate myself”?A. Because the impact of thinking in this way is negative.B. Because it hurts parents to hear their kids saying so.C. Because it doesn’t make any sense to blame oneself.D. Because the impoliteness of saying so is unbearable.23.Which of the following can replace the underlined word “linger” in paragraph 5?A. come to an endB. continue to existC. begin to changeD. become out of dateBA staycation is a vacation when you do not travel at all. Some people use a staycation to just stay at home, and others prefer to experience the attractions around them without traveling very far.There are various choices for staycations. Any town or city that has plenty of choices for things to do is worth considering. If the weather is nice, you can visit the local gardens or forests for a hike. You can search online for several historic places and create your own history tours. Of course, you can also visit other attractions in the areas like museums, restaurants, bars, parks, beaches, and so on. Often, if you drive just a few hours, you can find a city within easy reach.Others take t he term “staycation” word for word and do not leave their houses at all. Some choices for this can include taking time off to cook a great meal and enjoy it together or spending all day at a pool.Just as a coin has two sides, staycation has its advantages as well as disadvantages.Since you are not traveling or staying in a hotel, a staycation can be unbelievably cost-effective（低成本的）. You don’t have to pay for a hotel, so that cost has been completelyeliminated. You are also saving travel costs by not driving very far and by not taking an airplane anywhere. Moreover, you are pushing money back into your local economy by spending your money at local businesses rather than in cities that are far away from home. Finally, any stress that you feel with travel, whether that is from driving long distances or looking for an airport, will completely disappear.24.The text is intended to __________.A. provide different ways of staycationsB. compare staycations with other vacationsC. persuade more people to have staycationsD. introduce the general information of staycations25.The underlined word “ eliminated” in Paragraph 5 is closest to __________.A. includedB. removedC. increasedD. decreased26.What will probably be discussed in the following paragraph?A. When to take a staycation.B. What disadvantages a staycation has.C. Why people prefer a staycation.D. How to have a staycation safely.CThe problem of robocalls has gotten so bad that many people now refuse to pick up calls from numbers they don’t know. By next year, half of the calls we receive will be scams(欺诈). We are finally waking up to the severity of the problem by supporting and developing a group of tools, apps and approaches intended to prevent scammers from getting through. Unfortunately, it’s too little, too late. By the time these “solutions”(解决方案) become widely available, scammers will have moved onto cleverer means. In the near future, it’s not just going to be the number you see on your screen that will be in doubt. Soon you will also question whether the voice you’re hearing is actually real.That’s because there are a number of power ful voice manipulation(处理) and automation technologies that are about to become widely available for anyone to use. At this year’s I/O Conference, a company showed a new voice technology able to produce such a convincing human-sounding voice that it was able to speak to a receptionist and book a reservation without detection.These developments are likely to make our current problems with robocalls much worse. The reason that robocalls are a headache has less to do with amount than precision. A decade of data breaches(数据侵入) of personal information has led to a situation where scammers can easily learn your mother’s name, and far more. Armed with this knowledge, they’re able to carry out individually targeted campaigns to cheat people. This means, for example, that a scammer could call you from what looks to be a familiar number and talk to you using a voice that sounds exactly like your bank teller’s, tricking you into “confirming” your address, mother’s name, and cardnumber. Scammers follow money, so companies will be the worst hit. A lot of business is still done over the phone, and much of it is based on trust and existing relationships. Voice manipulation technologies may weaken that gradually.We need to deal with the insecure nature of our telecom networks. Phone carriers and consumers need to work together to find ways of determining and communicating what is real. That might mean either developing a uniform way to mark videos and images, showing when and who they were made by, or abandoning phone calls altogether and moving towards data-based communications—using apps like FaceTime or WhatsApp, which can be tied to your identity.Credibility is hard to earn but easy to lose, and the problem is only going to get harder from here on out.27.How does the author feel about the solutions to problem of robocalls?A. Panicked.B. Confused.C. Embarrassed.D. Disappointed.28.Taking advantage of the new technologies, scammer can ________.A. aim at victims accuratelyB. damage databases easilyC. start campaigns rapidlyD. spread information widely29. What does the passage imply?A. Honesty is the best policy.B. Technologies can be double-edged.C. There are more solutions than problems.D. Credibility holds the key to development.30. Which of the following would be the best title for the passage?A. Where the Problem of Robocalls Is RootedB. Who Is to Blame for the Problem of RobocallsC. Why Robocalls Are About to Get More DangerousD. How Robocalls Are Affecting the World of Technology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。
