UNIT 1 LIFE CHOICES(二)
Ⅰ.阅读理解(每小题2.5分)
A(2024广东茂名二模)
Never letting my friends post pictures of me online,I didn’t have social media until 17.I had a smartphone from 11,and would text and call my friends a lot.The key difference was that I was a digital viewer,not a participant.When they asked why I didn’t have social media,my answer would change as the years passed.
Initially,not being on social media as a teen did,unsurprisingly,made me feel secluded.Conversations between my friends would not always take place on text,but via social media.New gossip would circulate in the evenings,but I would only find out the next morning,by which point it was old news.Plus,there were certain new trends I just didn’t understand.
At 14,I tried really hard to persuade my mum to let me be online.I told her it was more damaging to me not being on social media,but her response was that she could see things I couldn’t.I thought she was overstating and couldn’t completely understand what it was like to be a teen growing up in a digital generation.
People ask me if I ever secretly downloaded social media during my teen years,but I didn’t.The main thing that stopped me was that the conversation was always left open.My parents never shut me down when I asked for it:they would ask why I wanted it and then explain the positives and negatives of what it would be like to be online at the age I was.We had a strong relationship,built on trust.
I am so glad I entered social media as a fully formed person rather than being formed by it.I would not be the person I am today if I’d had social media during my adolescent years.
1.What does the underlined word “secluded” in paragraph 2 mean
A.Ashamed. B.Disconnected.

C.Her parents were concerned about her physical safety.
D.Her parents protected her from the negative impact of social media.

A.There was no Internet access.
B.She had no idea how to do it by herself.
C.She knew negative effects of social media.

B(2024广东惠州一模)
A new trend has popped up in China with many young people abandoning brand (品牌) names to create makeshift handbags out of things like reusable grocery bags and other materials.One example is the Shenzhen bag,which includes canvas (帆布) bags,paper bags,milk tea packages that people carry around in Guangdong Province.
Makeshift handbags like the “Shenzhen bag” are also common among young people in big cities like Beijing,Shanghai,and Hangzhou.People find the bags practical,wearable and fashionable,and they can be carried on the shoulder or the back.This emerging trend reveals a new attitude to consumption as young people in China begin to pursue a simple and shared life,with consumers no longer blindly pursuing brand names as a status (身份) symbol,but advocating a simple and low-carbon lifestyle.In addition to the handbags,and regardless of their monthly incomes,many young people are living more casually,in line with a “good enough mentality”.Loose T-shirts,Crocs,and canvas bags are in basically standard mode.
“Consumers today are becoming more mature and rational.They are pursuing smarter consumption through careful consideration and calculation to find the cheapest,most practical,cost-effective way of shopping,” says Wang Ning,a sociology professor at Nanjing’s Southeast University.
Economists believe that China’s Generation Z no longer blindly pursues brands and luxury goods or buys things for the brand name and status.Instead,they pay more attention to their actual needs,quality,and experience of buying,and prefer sharing and secondhand purchases.They also advocate environmental protection and sustainable consumption.
Price-aware Chinese consumers have also begun to place a greater emphasis on their inner selves.Driven by rational consumption,many young people no longer save to buy a brand-name bag,but for self-improvement.
The new handbag trend has also created business opportunities.Reusing packaging used for food brands as handbags results in mobile advertising for the associated brands,and the phenomenon of the “Shenzhen bag” has also benefited paper bag companies.
5.What is the feature of the “Shenzhen bag”
A.A popular luxury brand of handbags.
B.A makeshift handbag symbolizing status.
C.A traditional handbag designed for specific people.
D.A temporary handbag that was once for another use.
6.Which is closest in meaning to the underlined word “rational” in paragraph 3
A.Conservative. B.Reliable.
C.Sensible. D.Considerate.
7.What contributes to the change in consumption habits among China’s Generation Z
A.A belief for a plain and green lifestyle.
B.Neglect of environmental protection.
C.Blind pursuit of brand names and luxury goods.
D.A focus on outer appearance rather than inner selves.
8.What is the text
A.A book review. B.A news report.
C.A business plan. D.A research article.
