They
20、 played games, did crafts and ate snacks. “We got intentional about where we spent our time,” Kristin says. “We became front yard people.”Neighbors began to stop by to introduce themselves and sit down for a chat. Kristin invited people to join her at the table for coffee or iced tea. Then neighbors
21、 asked Kristin if their family could put a picnic table in their front yard too. A movement was born. “It was a simple way to slow down and connect with others,” she says.

27、 region where winter weather is a regular risk, you are likely used to pouring salt on your sidewalks. But how does it work? And how much salt do humans pour onto our planets surface? The second question is easier to answer: a lot.Salt doesnt directly melt ice, nor does it make snow simply disappear
28、. Instead it makes water less likely to freeze in a phenomenon called freezing point depression. In the case of simple rock salt, which is a rawer, less pure version of table salt, each molecule (分子) splits into smaller elements. Normally, when water freezes into ice, its molecules line up to form a
29、 stable, orderly structure. Salt interrupts the process, however, and temperatures must drop lower to overcome that interruption and for freezing to occur.But if salt needs to interact with liquid water, how does it do anything when temperatures are stubbornly below freezing, and water should alread
30、y be in the form of ice? Thats where cars help clear their own way by creating friction and, in turn, heat. The friction allows for the ice that has already frozen to melt a little bit, making it unlikely to freeze.Beyond rock salts ability to clear icy streets, it can also be destructive. Chloride
31、ions (氯离子) can cause wear and tear on vehicles and facilities. Increasing chloride densities in North American lakes could begin to upset local ecology and degrade sources of drinking water.Many local governments are looking for alternatives to rock salt. Other salts such as magnesium chloride and c
32、alcium chloride work in the same way as rock salt, and theyre perhaps even more efficient. Some experiments are testing other ice-preventing solutions, including those that contain sugars instead of or in addition to salts. Another approach relies more heavily on sand, which can mechanically make ro
33、ads safer. All of this experimentation is aimed at ensuring people can travel in any weather conditiona Herculean task when winter brings its worst.28.Whats the purpose of the first sentence in Paragraph 2?A.To introduce the topic.B.To give some evidence.C.To define the phenomenon.D.To reveal the mi
34、sconception.29.How does salt work to disturb the process of freezing?A.By lowering the temperature.B.By melting and splitting itself.C.By lining up to form a solid structure.D.By stopping the formation of the structure.30.What does the underlined word “densities” in Paragraph 4 mean?A.Concentrations

36、 ago, logging into Facebook, Twitter, or Instagram would mostly show posts from friends and family in the order they were posted. Today, these platforms present a mix of content, tailored by algorithms (算法) to match users interests, whether its plants, sports, cats, or politics.Kyle Chayka, a writer
37、 for The New Yorker, discusses this topic in his book, Filterworld. He explains that algorithms analyze user data to predict and influence what they will likely engage with. This means that instead of a simple, chronological feed, users encounter a dynamic stream, constantly adapting to their prefer
38、ences. Chayka examines how these algorithmic recommendations control what we consume, from music and movies to food and travel destinations. He argues that this machine-driven selection process has turned us into passive consumers, making our preferences and tastes more similar.Chayka points out tha
39、t algorithms make us passive by always showing us content that were unlikely to click away from but wont find too unexpected or challenging. This constant stream of recommendations reduces our exposure to diverse or challenging content, subtly shaping our preferences and behaviors.Moreover, Chayka p
40、oints out that algorithms also pressure content creators, like musicians and artists, to tailor their work to fit these digital platforms. For instance, musicians on Spotify or TikTok might focus on creating catchy hooks at the beginning of their songs to grab the listeners attention.Despite the str
41、ong presence of these algorithms, Chayka believes that regulation could reduce their influence. He suggests that if Meta, the parent company of Facebook, were required to separate its various services, like Instagram or WhatsApp, and make them compete with each other, it could give users more contro
42、l and choice over their digital consumption.In summary, the change from simple, time-ordered social. media posts to algorithm-driven content has a big impact on both the viewers and the creators, influencing what we see, hear, and even think. Chaykas insights highlight the need for greater awareness
43、 and potentially more regulation in our increasingly digital world.32.According to the text, how have social media platforms changed in the past ten years?A.They show posts in a time-based order.B.They prioritize posts from friends and family.C.They make adjustments to satisfy users needs.D.They pro
44、vide more content to meet different needs.33.What does Kyle Chayka think of algorithmic recommendations?A.They make users more active consumers.B.They shape users preferences and behaviors.C.They reduce the influence of content creators.D.They expose users to diverse and challenging content.34.How d
45、o algorithms influence musicians work on digital platforms?A.By encouraging musicians to create longer songs.B.By discouraging musicians from using catchy hooks.C.By giving musicians more control and choice over their music.D.By requiring musicians to create their work to fit the platforms.35.What c
46、an be concluded from the text?A.Tech companies should have more departments.B.Social media algorithms give content creators less opportunities.C.Social media algorithms flatten our culture by making decision s for us.D.Network platforms have increased the common recommendations for 10 years.第二节(共5小题
