about Internet friendships,you would think it was one giant web of cat-fishing and e-crime.While we all undoubtedly have to take measures to remain safe online,assuming every friendship or connection made on Instagram,Twitter or Facebook is cheating or insincere would be a mistake.As a woman who works in the creative industry,I have found real joy in seeking out a community I couldnt find elsewhere,and making some great friends along the way.My first online friendship was on Twitter with my(now)best friend,during the university exam period.We exchanged study notes in dozens of direct messages,set a study date,and havent looked back since.Drawn to each other by similar circumstances,friendships online are similar to offline in that they tend to begin because of shared interest or common ground-maybe theyve read the post on Instagram.Maybe they have the same taste in food or politics.Or maybe they just love memes too.If online friendships start similar to friendships offline,they grow in the same way,too.Often through mutual support:apart from calling a friend to congratulate him on that new job,you also re-tweet his jokes and praise his Instagram story.Despite my positive experiences when I tell people,most are still suspicious.Eyebrows are raised higher when I explain not only have I found a community online but have made friendships with people I meet face-to-face too.Actually,these are just as valid as other friendships,according to behavioural psychologist Jo Hemmings,who says online friendships can be real.So how do you know if people are there for the real you or just because youre popular on Instagram?Hemmings has simple rules.She tells me“You have to equally feel comfortable that youre getting something of each other instead of being used to enable something that isnt friendship.”Therefore,if all a“friend”online is asking you to do is to promote their work or personal brand and rarely takes an interest in you,then there may be room to question the basis of the friendship.On that note it is worth remembering that just because someone has a lot of followers,it doesnt necessarily mean they have lots of friends.4.What is most peoples attitude towards online friendship?A.Negative.B.Positive.C.Objective.D.Neutral.5.Why does the writer share her own experience in paragraph 2?A.To introduce the background information of the text.B.To convey the writers attitude and give the related example.C.To prove the likely risk for people to develop friendship online.D.To remind people of the various benefits of making friends online.6.How can online and offline friendships be deepened?A.They should be based on shared interest.B.They need to have common ground.C.They require support from each other.D.They cant live without social media.7.According to the author,whats the golden rule to make friends online?A.A friend to all is a friend to none.B.Without confidence there is no friendship.C.A friend without faults will never be found.D.Friendship cannot stand always on one side.C Once small farmers in Masii,a remote village in Kenya,have picked their crops,all they can do is wait until a buyer trucks through.The system works fairly well for beans and corn,but mangoes-the areas other main crop-spoil(腐烂)more quickly.If the trader is late,they rot.However,a simple coating could change that.A company,SmartTech,has created a product that doubles the shelf life of fresh produce,enabling farmers to access far-off,larger markets.More time forfresh produce on grocers shelves also means less food waste-a$2.6 trillion problem,according to the United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization(FAO).James Rogers,CEO of SmartTech,wanted to solve the problem for food much in the same way that oxide barriers preventing rust(锈)have achieved for steel.Fortunately,researchers have found when plants made the jump from water to land,they developed cutin(蜡质),a barrier which is made of fatty acids that link together to form a seal around the plant,helping keep water in.The cutin was such a grand strategy that today youll still find it across the plant kingdom.SmartTech discovered through researches that an orange can last longer than a strawberry not so much because of the thickness of its skin,but because of the difference in the arrangement of those cutin molecules(分子)on the surface.After extensive trials,Rogers and his team developed a natural and tasteless protective coating from plant material-stems,leaves and skins.The product extends the sweet spot between ripening and rot.And best of all,the treated produce doesnt require refrigeration.“SmartTech has huge potential to turn poor farmers in Africa into commercial farmers,”says Rogers.“That means more money in pockets,and more food in stomachs.”But whether the company can cost-effectively reach small farmers in far-off areas still remains a challenge.8.The author mentions the small farmers in Kenya to _.A.stress their need for preserving produce B.show their challenge in harvesting crops C.express their wish to reach larger markets D.evaluate their loss caused by slow transport 9.What can we learn about SmartTechs product?A.It is financially supported by FAO.B.It is intended to replace refrigeration.C.It is designed to thicken produces skin.D.It is based on plantsown defence system.10.What will James Rogers probably focus on next?A.How to expand farms.B.How to earn more money.C.How to produce more tasty food.D.How to profit farmers in remote area.11.The main purpose of the passage is to _.A.promote a product B.present a technology C.advertise SmartTech D.introduce James Rogers D The market for tourism in remote areas is booming as never before.Countries all across the world are actively promoting their wilderness regions-such as mountains,Arctic lands,deserts,small islands and wetlands to high-spending tourists.The attraction of these areas is obvious:by definition,wilderness tourism requires little or no initial investment.But that does not mean that there is no cost.Once a location is established as a main tourist destination,the effects on the local community are profound.Hill-farmers can make more money from foreign travellers than working in their fields.It is not surprising that many o them give up their farm-work.In some hill-regions,this has led to a serious decline in farm output and a change in the local diet,because there is lacking labour to maintain terraces and irrigation systems.The result has been that many people in these regions have turned to outside supplies of rice and other foods.InArcticand desert societies,year-round survival has traditionally depended on hunting animals and fish and collecting fruit over a ly short season.However,as some inhabitants become involved in tourism,they no longer have time to collect wild food;this has led to increasing dependence on bought food and stores.What should they do if these new sources of income dry up?The physical impact of visitors is another serious problem associated with the growth in adventure tourism.Much attention has focused on erosion along major roads,but perhaps more important are the forest destruction and impacts on water supplies arising from the need to provide tourists with cooked food and hot showers.In both mountains and deserts,slow-growing trees are often the main sources of fuel and water supplies may be limited through heavy use.12.Why are some countries promoting the wilderness regions to tourists?A.The wildness regions are accessible to tourists.B.The landscapes there are beautiful and unique.C.Developing tourism there doesnt need much investment.D.Lots of high-spending tourists prefer such remote regions.13.What is the effect of tourism on the local community?A.Many hill farmers have turned to outside supplies of foods.B.There is enough labour to maintain terraces and irrigation systems.C.Farm output there has increased and local diet has changed.D.The local peoples new sources of income will dry up soon.14.Which might be the best title of the passage?A.The future of wilderness tourism.B.The impacts of wilderness tourism.C.The destruction of wilderness tourism.D.The disadvantages of wilderness tourism.15.If there is one more paragraph following the last paragraph,what will it talk about?A.The effects on local people.B.The solutions tothese problems.C.The choices of adventure tourists.D.The reasons for visiting remote areas.第二节（共 5 小题；每小题 2 分，满分 10 分）阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项 We have been worried those days from time to
