A
The blooming of social media and interactive smartphone-based apps has proved that
e-marketing is an unchangeable trend. In the case of China, the latest battlefield is beauty
camera apps, which have become an overnight hit in the West.
1. MeituPic
Developed by the Xiamen-based Meitu Inc, MeituPic is the company’s flagship
beauty camera app and was the first to become a big hit among Western users. The app has
drawn some 456 million users, who use it to post more than 6 billion photos every month.
In addition to MeituPic, Meitu Inc has developed a series of beauty camera apps such
as Beauty Plus, Poster Labs and Meipai, each specializing in facial feature improvement,
video editing and many other features.
2. Pitu
Tian Tian Pi Tu, is a beauty app developed by China’s Internet giant Tencent.
Similar
to other photo-editing apps, Pitu offers a number of beautifying filters （ 滤 镜 ） ,
blemish（瑕疵） removing tools and virtual（虚拟的） makeup choices for users to
choose from.
Launched in 2014, Pitu has accumulated 106 million monthly active users (MAUs). While
the number is not as large as that of Meitu’ s apps, some argue that the user base of
Tencent’ s gaming products and chat applications, such as QQ and WeChat, gives Pitu
great potential for further growth. According to Chinese app watchers, Pitu’ s target
audience is younger and more individualized than that of MeituPic. 80 percent of Pitu’ s
users are younger than 25, giving the app more room to try out more new features.
3. FaceU
In contrast with most other beauty apps, FaceU, focuses more on the social feature,
encouraging users to video chat with friends and even strangers while playing with its fun
stickers ( 贴纸) — and the strategy is undoubtedly working. Launched in 2016, the app,
which mainly targets female users between 15 and 35, has twice made it onto the Apple
store’ s Chart for top apps.

B
My work started in 2003 at my local animal shelter’s Adoption Department 动物收容
所）. It seems like such a long time ago. In the 13 years that have passed, more than
50,000
animals have passed the doors of the shelter. Most of them, I do not remember. But
occasionally there are animals who stand out. Tabby was one such animal.
Tabby was one of the many homeless dogs. What’s more, she was blind and deaf.
Tabby’s chances at adoption seemed so remote. But one day a woman named Loretta came
to the shelter. Her son, Gary, who suffered from epilepsy (癫痫) had seen Tabby’s picture
on the shelter’s website. They were interested in meeting her! Most boys would want
a
puppy, a dog who could grow with him and run through grassy fields on summer days.
Tabby would never be able to do that. But as they say, "love is blind". After meeting her,
they decided to adopt Tabby!
If Tabby’s story had simply ended with her successful adoption, it would still have
been something very special indeed but it was what happened after her adoption that someone might label as "magical" or perhaps even miraculous. As Gary and Tabby did
高二英语 第 1 页
everything together, they became so "in tune" （合拍的） with one another that Tabby
began to remind in advance Gary’s seizures (疾病发作) before they occurred, giving his
family a warning that one was about to strike. What’s more, Gary seemed to be
having
fewer and fewer seizures since Tabby’s arrival.
How could it be? There are some things that happen in this world that challenge all
logic and understanding. Sometimes, the best that we can do is to accept a miraculous
thing, which we didn’t attempt to explain. Because when you try to explain it, you lose the
beauty and wonder of it all.
4．Which sentence can be used to describe Tabby?
A．She was so lovely that she could be easily adopted.
B．She suffered a lot from the disease-epilepsy.
C．She was so strong that she could run very fast.
D． She was homeless and couldn’t see or hear.
5．What does the underlined word "miraculous" in Paragraph 3 probably mean?
A．Amazing. B．Typical. C．Interesting. D．Special.
6．What can we learn from the passage?
A．Gary learnt about Tabby from a magazine.
B． Gary was cured in the company of Tabby.
C． Tabby could indicate a seizure before it struck.
D．Most boys would have the same decision as Gary.
7．What can be a suitable title for the text?
A．Love is Blind: a Miraculous Dog B．Give Me Food: My Dear Master
C．Love is Everywhere: a Poor Dog D．Take Me Home: My Dear Boy
C
Humans were designed to stand upright (直立). And yet in this modern world, too
many of us spend our days with our heads lowered for a simple reason: we're staring at the
tiny screen of a smart phone.
People spend an average of 2 to 4 hours each day with their neck bent while checking
emails or texts. That's 700 to 1,400 hours a year. The success of social media has led to a
rapid development of bad smart phone posture. (姿势)
The average adult head weighs 10 to 12 pounds when it's in the upright position.
However, because of the gravity, bending your head at a mere 15 degree puts 27 pounds of
pressure on your spine (脊椎); a 30 degree neck bend could equal (等于) 40 pounds of
pressure; a 45 degree bend adds the force of 49 pounds, according to the research from Dr.
Kenneth Hansraj from New York. These stresses may lead to many problems.
There is no doublt that correct posture is better for your back. According to the
researchers, good posture is described as ears aligned (成一条直线) with the shoulders. In
proper alignment, spinal stress disappeared. It is the best position for the spine. Standing
tall doesn't just make you look better; it improves your health, too. Other studies have
found that good posture has even been connected to ways of behaving. People who have
poorer posture often have poorer physical and emotional health.
The researchers describe bad posture as “the head in a forward position and the
shoulders dropping forward in a rounded position”. Bad posture has been connected to
many medical problems, including headaches and other problems, depression and heart
disease. This is why Hansraj said it's important to be mindful of your smart phone posture.
While it is nearly impossible to avoid the technologies that cause these problems, people
should make an effort to look at their phones with a correct posture.
8．Through the underlined sentence in paragraph 2, the author wants to show that _______.
A．the social media have its bad side
B．the social media have made a great success
C．people have to use social media unavoidably
D．more and more people are using smart phones
9．What does the third paragraph mainly tell us?
A．It's healthy to bend your back regularly.
B．Your back is getting exercise as you bend it.
C．The average weight of an adult head always changes.
D．The more you bend your neck, the heavier the head becomes.
10．What is the correct posture?
