For an enjoyable summer day or night, some that are the most fun can be simple, inexpensive or absolutely free.Frolic: Summer at the seaside is for

11、 as many activities as you can stand in the sand. Play frisbee(飞盘), sand volleyball or any beach-free sport. Jog or run while you feel the soft sand each step. If its nice and windy, go fly a kite!Picnic: If youre a bit lazy as you sun and relax on the beach, you can buy takeout(外卖食物)from nearby sho

12、ps. If youre there with a big family outing, you may prefer to pack and bring baskets of your favorite foods and drinks.Sand castles: For anyone who wishes they were still kids, building castles in the sand is fun at the seashore. If youre feeling really creative, add fishes, frogs and whatever else

13、 your modeling skills can construct.Explore: If there are hiking or biking trails along the shore or nearby, take an action to discover whats around to be collected. Seashells and washed-up ocean flora(植物群) are fun to hunt, although finding a valuable diamond ring in the sand is much more satisfying

14、.Socialize: Meet all kinds of people. If kids are with you, theyre natural socializers, and will easily join others in games and other fun things to do together. Set up a volleyball net on the beach, and soon others will join the game.Nothing: For some people the top activity at the seaside is inact

15、ivity. That means doing absolutely nothing. After all, youve come to the beach to relax on the warm sand, and nowhere in the world is a more comfortable place.21.

19、 themselves lip-syncing (对嘴), cooking, dancing or just being silly. What sets Bytedance apart is its success in the social media category, which is controlled by Facebook, Twitter and Snap all Western companies.Bytedance calls itself an artificial intelligence company. It uses machine learning and a

20、lgorithms(算法) to figure out what people like and give them more of what they want to see. On Tik Tok, people can edit and beautify 15-second videos before posting them online. The app has even spawned(引发) a phase to describe a kind of behaviour of people glued to their customized feeds: “shua Tik To

21、k” or “scrolling through Tik Tok”. Last year, the company released Tik Tok, the overseas version of Tik Tok. Bytedanees growing video empire has made it the worlds fifth biggest app maker. Bytedance says Tik-Tok has more than 500 million monthly active users.Investors like Bytedance because its hund

22、reds of millions of users attract a lot of advertising money. The video apps are lucrative because they attract a lot of users in their teens and 20s, who are more generous with the money. Bytedance also makes money through income sharing deals. People on Tik Tok, for example, can buy digital coins

23、to give to other people on the applike throwing money into a performers tip jar, Bytedance takes a cut of those earnings.Bytedances founder and CEO is Zhang Yiming, a former Microsoft employee. People who have worked with Zhang describe him as someone who thinks deeply about technology and spends mu

27、omy, flying generally sucks (恶心), either a little or a lot, depending on your tolerance level. But it especially sucks if you are too wide for the airlines design.Just getting to your seat can be a challenge, as your hips (臀部) bounce from seat to seat on each side of the aisle(过道). If someone is sta

28、nding up to put things in the overhead locker, there is a decision to be made about whether its worth trying to squeeze past. Everything is just slightly too small: the seats, the overhead lockers, even the bathroomsand those, it seems, are getting even smaller.The Washington Post recently reported

29、that, on some newer planes flown by American, Delta and United airlines, the bathrooms in economy class are just 61 cm wide: about 25 cm narrower than the average portable toilet, and roughly the width of the average dishwasher. Your face might be the only thing you can poke in there comfortablywhic

30、h makes it a poor design, considering what a passenger is likely to need the bathroom for.According to the manufacturer, these “Advanced Spacewell” bathrooms make space for six additional passengers, which is great for the airlines financial bottom line. But what about the other bottom line? Concern

31、ing, well, bottoms(臀部) that cant fit into their planes bathrooms?As bodies get bigger and aeroplane spaces get smaller, fat people among us have come up with solutions. Armrests that turn us into sausages (香肠) can be pulled up, or slowly encased (围住; 包起) into the soft flesh of our sides until we go

32、numb(麻木的). We can ask the flight attendant to get us a seat-belt extender, if security has confiscated the one we brought with us, as can sometimes happen. But squeezing into a tiny toilet and closing the door behind us? Not workable.Unlike the impossible task of squeezing down the aisle to your sea

33、t, or the side-to-side dance necessary to get big hips past the armrests, fitting into a space just 61 cm wide is not just a challengeit is almost impossible. It is not like missing out on an option for the in-flight meala bathroom is as essential as a safety-compliant seat belt, or the air that is

34、pumped into the cabin(飞机舱). If airlines are not willing to make space for us，bigger passengers may have no option but to reconsider booking a flight at all.29.What is the advantage of the new toilets?A.All passengers can use them at the same time.B.They are more comfortable.C.The airlines can increa

35、se their profits.D.They are practical and convenient.30.What does the underlined word “confiscated” mean?A.Taken. B.Questioned.C.Checked.D.Provided.31.What does the fifth paragraph mainly tell us?A.Fat people can deal with many problems they face on planes.B.Flight attendants are likely to be helpfu

36、l when asked for assistance.C. Flying is pleasant for overweight people at present.D.Peoples bodies are getting bigger year by year.32.The author believes that bigger passengers_. A. will have to find more creative solutions in the future B. might be unable to travel by air in the future C. should m

37、iss out on the option for the in-flight meal D. should grasp the chance to lose weight before flyingDBefore Steve Jobs co-founded Apple, there were no iPhones or iPads. Jobs changed the way we think about many things, including telephones, computers, and books. Because of Jobs, says his biographer(传

38、记作者)Walter Isaacson, entire industries like music and publishing have changed completely.I recently talked with Isaacson in New York City about his new best-seller,The Innovators:How a Group of Hackers, Geniuses, and Geeks Created the Digital Revolution, in which he tells hundreds of stories of the

39、people who created the computer and the Internet.I asked what qualities stood out in the innovators he studied. “They really care about both art and science,” Isaacson said. “They really believe its important to connect the humanities(人文学科) to technology and engineering.”For kids who want to become

40、tomorrows innovators, he said, “If youre such a person - very creative and love art, you should not shy away from also learning math and learning coding(编码). If youre an engineer, you should learn to read poetry.”“Every great innovator has passion (激情), determination, and the courage to fail,” Isaac

41、son said. “Working in teams makes creative people even more effective(有效的), ” he added.“Sometimes, some-one elses suggestions can help improve or perfect your design.”When Isaacson was growing up in New Orleans, Louisiana, he decided early on that he wanted to be a writer. After reading a book by a

42、friends uncle, he realized that writing is a job you can have, just like being a fisherman or an engineer or a doctor.Of all the books Isaacson has written, he said that his favorite was a biography of Ben Franklin. “ He did everything,” Isaacson said. “ He was friendly and nice and good to people.

43、Reading all of his letters, I felt I really got to know him and like him.”33.What can we learn from the first paragraph?A.Isaacson had a great influence on Jobs.B.Jobs biography was difficult to write.C.Isaacson likes music very much.D.Isaacson thinks highly of Jobs.34.In Isaacsons mind, innovators

44、are those who _.A.are good at telling storiesB.want everything to be perfectC.are friendly and nice to peopleD.love both the humanities and science35.Paragraph 5 mainly tells us _.A.how to work with a great innovatorB.the importance of good teamworkC.what it takes to be an innovatorD.the role of an

45、innovator in a team36. Isaacson decided to begin his career as a writer because _.A.he failed to become an engineerB.he read a book by a friends uncleC.he got lots of help from Steve JobsD.he got to know more about Ben FranklinEHow many phone numbers can you remember by heart? Its probably fewer tha

46、n you would like. Actually, you are not alone. Out of more than 1,000 Americans who were surveyed, more than half said that they couldnt recall the phone numbers of their friends and neighbors. In their eyes, there is no point in filling their heads with phone numbers if they are all stored in smart

47、 phones that are with them almost all the time.In fact, most people are suffering from a sort of digital amnesia(健忘). more than 90% of those surveyed agreed that they used the Internet as an online of their brains. Rote memorization(死记硬背) was once an important part of modern education, but we just n

48、eed a click or slide now. Thats making us worse at remembering things.Researchers found that when people expected to use the information online, they were less likely to remember actual facts, but more likely to remember how to find them. As a result, we are already becoming ones with our computer t

49、ools, growing into interconnected systems that remember less by knowing information than by knowing where the information can be found.However, some believe it isnt necessarily a bad thing-maybe it gives them more chances to think through things. We certainly acquire more knowledge now than ever, ev

50、en if it isnt all stored in our brains.Even so, I still believe that there are more risks to this new world of memory beyond losing our ability to recall some information such as who the 15th President was. That kind of information may always be a click away, but the important things are personal on

51、es, like the way your parents smiled at your wedding. Its harder to recall or find online. If youre relying on yourself to keep track of those memories, they will be much more meaningful.37.Paragraph 1 is mainly used to _.A.serve as the backgroundB.introduce the topicC.explain new researchD.show som
