only released two short videos but attracted over 5 million followers.Different from other virtual idols,Liu is defined as a“virtual beauty vlogger”.In her first video,Liu is doing makeup with an eye brush while dressed in a traditional Chinese costume.When she turns around,the onlookers are terrified,except one boy.Then Liu slightly brushes the boys eyes,allowing him to see the fantasy world in her own eyes.The internet users were impressed by its storyline,science-fiction elements and special visual effects with cyberpunk style.Liang Zikang,the CEO of the production team,told China Newsweek that the team spent two months making the video.Lius instant popularity online further reflects that the virtual idol industry in China has been booming.There are over 32,400 virtual idols that have opened accounts on video-sharing platform Bilibili in the past year,seeing a year-on-year rise of 40 percent,Chen Rui,the CEO of Bilibili,said in a speech.“Compared with real idols and stars,the virtual ones seem to be more approachable for fans,”Shine News noted.Additionally,these virtual web celebrities wont have scandals.As more young people are fascinated by these virtual figures,their commercial value has been on the rise.Generally,they earn money by endorsements(代言),online concerts,livestreaming and related products.For example,Luo Tianyi,a well-known virtual singer,cooperated with livestreamer Li Jiaqi to promote goods in 2020.Therefore,some people are wondering whether they will replace real humans.“These so-called virtual idols have real human teams to back them up and

the globe,50 UNESCO World Heritage sites are home to glaciers and about 18,600 glaciers are found in these World Heritage sites,which represent about a tenth of the glacierized area on Earth.Those glaciers are losing some 58 billion tons of ice each year and contribute to almost 5%of observed sea level rise globally.A new study warns that glaciers in a third of these World Heritage sites will disappear by 2050 due to carbon emissions warming the planet.The other two-thirds can still be saved but only if global temperatures dont exceed 1.5 degrees Celsius compared with pre-industrial times.The last remaining glaciers in Africa are predicted to melt by 2050,including those at Kilimanjaro National Park and Mount Kenya.The fastest melting glaciers on the list are those at Three Parallel Rivers National Park in Chinas Yunnan province.Glaciers there have already lost more than 57%of their mass in the last 20 years.In the U.S.,the glaciers in Yellowstone and Yosemite National Parks will likely have disappeared by 2050.The glaciers found along the U.S.-Canadian border at the Waterton-Glacier International Peace Park have already lost more than a quarter of their volume in the last 20 years.Other endangered glaciers include those in Italys 5高三英语 第 页(共 10 页)Dolomites,Frances Pyrenees,Argentinas Los Alerces National Park,Perus Huascarn National Park,and New Zealands Te Wahipounamu.The melting glaciers have an impact not only on the environment,but on people,said Bruno Oberle,director-general of the International Union for Conservation of Nature in a statement released Thursday.“When glaciers melt rapidly,millions of people face water shortage and the increased risk of natural disasters such as flooding,and millions more may be displaced by the resulting rise in sea levels,”Oberle said.“This study highlights the urgent need to cut greenhouse gas emissions and invest in Nature-based Solutions,which can help mitigate climate change and allow people to better adapt to its impacts,”he added.As the worlds climate leaders gather for COP27,UNESCO is calling for the creation of an international fund for glacier monitoring and preservation that would support research,strengthen ties between stakeholders(股东),and implement disaster risk and early warning measures.“This report is a call to action,”UNESCO director-general Audrey Azoulay said in a statement.“Only a rapid reduction in our CO2 emissions levels can save glaciers and the exceptional biodiversity that depends on them.”28.What is the purpose of listing figures in paragraph1?A.To indicate the loss of cultural heritages.B.To stress the value of the World Heritage sites.C.To prove the importance of glaciers to the Earth.D.To show the urgency of saving the melting glaciers.29.In which of the following places are the glaciers melting the fastest?A.Three Parallel Rivers National Park.B.Kilimanjaro National Park.C.Yellowstone National Park.D.Waterton-Glacier International Peace Park.30.Which is closest in meaning with the underlined word“mitigate”in paragraph 3?A.Accelerate.B.Relieve.C.Maintain.D.Worsen.31.The international fund will be used to do the following things except.A.supporting researchB.reducing CO2 emissionsC.strengthening ties between stakeholdersD.carrying out disaster and early warning measuresDA recent study by a group of researchers found that there is a link between happiness and a term that the researchers coined called“relational diversity.”Using public data from sources like the Bureau of Labor Statistics and the World Health Organization,the researchers were able to analyze data sets and survey responses from people who had shared their daily habits,schedules and interactions.They noticed a clear relationship between 6高三英语 第 页(共 10 页)relational diversity and overall levels of satisfaction.Hanne Collins,a Harvard Business School doctoral student who co-authored the study,says that relational diversity is composed of two elements:richness and evenness.Richness measures relationship categories,or how many kinds of people you interact with in a day.That could be your romantic partner,a family member,a neighbor or a stranger.“The more relationship categories they talk to in a day and the more even their conversations are across those categories,the happier they are.And we find this in a large sample across many countries,”Collins said.Evenness relates to the distribution of conversations among those different relationship categories.Some people may find themselves interacting with colleagues at work more than,say,their family members.“If you have a few conversations with colleagues,a few with friends,a few with a romantic partner or a couple chats with strangers,thats going to be more even across these categories,”Collins explained.Ultimately,Collins says,the study gives insight to the idea that humans are social creatures at heart.Having a support system is important,but it goes beyond your inner circle.“Its about this mix.Its about connecting with people who are close to you,who are maybe less close to you,who connect you with other people,who provide different kinds of support,”she said.“Essentially,the idea is that the more diverse your social portfolio(社交档案),the happier you are and the higher your well-being.”Next time you consider striking up a conversation with a stranger in line at the grocery store or while waiting at the coffee shop,keep in mind that it might be beneficial to your well-being.32.How does the author explain the term“relational diversity”?A.By listing statistics.B.By making comparison.C.By giving definitions and examples.D.By describing the process.33.Who is the happiest according to the study?A.A person who interacts most with his family members.B.A person who communicates frequently with his friends.C.A person who seldom strikes up conversations with strangers.D.A person who has even conversations with many different people.34.Which of the statements about the study is true?A.Researchers came up with a new concept.B.It shows that a support system is not necessary.C.Researchers collected data by conducting experiments.D.It was led by a doctoral student from Harvard Business School.35.What is the writers attitude towards the result of the study?A.Neutral.B.Skeptical.C.Opposed.D.Approving.7高三英语 第 页(共 10 页)第二节(共 5 小题;每小题 2 分,满分 10
