exhibitions.D.Both offer chances to trade second-hand goods.B Have you ever been on social media and seen your favorite celebrity talking about a product?These promotions might not be totally random,and are actually seen as a vital part of the marketing process.The question is:How do social media influencers influence what you buy?Human desire for status and making friends,combined with our need to belong to a group,makes us receptive to being socially influenced.Companies often use that desire to have a similar lifestyle to a celebrity we admire to sell or launch a product.So,what do these promotions actually do?Firstly,they can be used to build brand awareness.A social media influencer should have a strong understanding of the platform they operate on,and therefore can create appealing content that not only sticks to the brand image,but sparks their followers interests in a product they might never have seen before.Secondly,influencers can improve a company or products relationship with their customer base.According to InMoments 2018 US Retail CX Trends Report on customer loyalty,77%of buyers have been brand loyal for more than ten years.This is also true of 60%of millennials.A popular celebrity can target key customers and talk or blog about a product,which can create an instant and lasting bond with them.Lastly,influencers can improve customer buying habits with seemingly unbiased opinions.We are more likely to respond to peer recommendation than traditional ads,meaning the fact we see an influencer as a friend can make us less likely to be doubtful about what we are seeing.So,the next time you see a celebrity talking about a product,you might want to consider that this could be a carefully worked-out marketing strategy designed to target your core needs.If you find yourself examining a product youve seen on social media,you may well have been influenced.4.Why do companies invite celebrities to launch products?A.Because celebrities can improve the companies public images.B.Because consumers like to share similarity with celebrities.C.Because celebrities want to make more money.D.Because consumers can make friends with celebrities.5.According to the passage,which strategy is often used by influencers?A.Setting up operation platforms.B.Sending gifts to customers.C.Improving relationship with the company.D.Taking advantage of their popularity.6.To customers,the recommendations of influencers seem to be _.A.offensive B.subjective C.objective D.misleading 7.The passage is mainly about _.A.how social media make ads B.how social media influence our lifestyle C.how social influencers affect our buying D.how celebrities earn fame C Over the years,NASA has successfully sent several rovers(飞行器)to Mars.While the science laboratories continue to provide important information on the Red Planet,they keep the space exploration rovers staying closeto the original landing place.To get a more comprehensive(详尽的)view of Mars,the US Space Agency plans to make a small test helicopter with the Mars 2020 Rover,which will be sent off in July 2020.The football-sized“marscopter”weighs about four pounds.It can fly at about ten times the speed of helicopters on Earth.The light weight and fast speed are important for the helicopter to be able to fly in the thin Mars atmosphere,which is about just one percent of that of Earth.“To make it fly in that thin Mars atmosphere,we had to make everything ready,and make it as light as possible while being as strong and powerful as it can possibly be.“Mimi Aung,Mars helicopter project manager,said in a meeting.Upon landing on the Red Planet,the Mars 2020 Rover will find a proper location to send of the helicopter.The helicopter will start with a short climb,no higher than 10 feet,and hover(盘旋)for just 30 seconds before landing back on the Mars surface.If all goes well,five more flights of longer distances,for 90 seconds each,will be conducted over the next 30 days.The short journeys will be recorded by a small camera and sent back to the scientists on Earth.If the plan goes on well,the first helicopter to fly in another world,will open up a whole new way to explore Mars.The Mars helicopters first flight will be a great invention.For those of us whose research is about flight,that would be a wonderful,historic moment.8.To fly in thin Mars atmosphere，we should make the helicopter_.A.strong and heavy B.heavy and fast C.light and fast D.strong and slow 9.How many times will the helicopter fly?A.Three times B.Four times C.Five times D.Six times 10.What can we learn from the last paragraph?A.Its interesting to fly in another world.B.I s important to fly in another world.C.The plan to fly the helicopter goes on well.D.The helicopters first flight is successful.11.What may be the best title for the passage?A.To send a helicopter to Mars in 2020 B.To send a rover to Mars in 2020 C.To live in the thin Mars atmosphere D.To send back records to scientists D Imaginary friends in childhood refer to the invisible beings that a child gives a personality to and plays with for over three months.Crabbycrab（蟹）appeared on a holiday in Norway by running out of my four-year-old son Fishers ear after a night of tears from an earache.Like other childhood imaginary friends,Crabby should be a sign thatFishers mind is growing and developing positively.Indeed,research shows that imaginary friends can help develop childrens social skills.Research has shown that the positive effects of having imaginary friends as a child continue into adulthood.Adolescents who remember their imaginary playmates have been found to use more activecoping（应对）styles,such as seeking advice from loved ones rather than bottle things up inside.Even adolescents with behavioral problems who had imaginary friends as children have been found to have better coping skills through the teenage years.Scientists thinkthis could be because these teens have been able to adjust themselves to the social world with imagination rather than choose to be involved in relationships with more difficult classmates.It could also be because the imaginary friends help to reduce these adolescents,loneliness.These teens are also more likely to seek out social connections-they tend to turn to others for advice.Current research by Tori Watson is taking this evidence and looking at how adolescents who have imaginary friends as children deal withbullying（欺凌）at school.It is found that teens who remember their imaginary friends are better at dealing with bullying.While we know a lot about childhood imaginary friends such as Crabby Crab and the positive effects they can have,there is still a lot to learn about imaginary friends.12.What is Crabby crab?A.It is a crab Fisher caught inNorway.B.It is Fishers imaginary friend.C.It is a toy Fisher like much.D.It is a cause of earache.13.Why do children with imaginary friends have better coping skills?A.Imaginary friends help improve their adjustment.B.Having imaginary friends makes them smarter.C.They have rich imagination.D.They are no longer alone.14.What will a child with imaginary friends probably do if he is bullied?A.Escape from the bully.B.Fight with the bully bravely.C.Keep silent about being bullied.D.Ask a parent or a teacher for help.15.What is the authors attitude towards the effect of imaginary friends?A.Concerned.B.Doubtful.C.Optimistic.D.Indifferent.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 Most people admit extreme nervousness at even the thought of giving a speech._16_Through speaking,we gain the power to share what we are thinking with others.Actually,not only do most beginning speakers suffer anxiety at the thought of speaking in public,but even powerful speakers like Abraham Lincoln and Franklin D.Roosevelt were nervous before speaking._17_Some people tremble,sweat,and experience shortness of breath and increased heartbeat.As they go through their speech,they may be so preoccupied with themselves that they lose contact with the audience,jump back and forth from point to point,and on occasion forget what they have planned to say._18_And they still go on to deliver a strong speech.The secret is not to get rid of all of your feelings but to learn to channel and control your nervousness.Very few people are so bothered by anxiety that they are unable to proceed with the speech._19_Why?Because you must be a little more aroused than usual to do your best.A bit of nervousness gets the adrenaline(肾上腺素)flowing-and that brings you to speaking readiness.Many speakers worry that others will notice how nervous they are-and that makes them even more self-conscious and nervous.A young woman reported that she broke out at home before each speech.She was amazed when other students said to her,“You seem so calm when you speak.”_20_Once you realize that your audience does not perceive your nervousness to the degree that you imagine,you will remove one unnecessary source of anxiety.The more experience you get in speaking,the better you become at coping with nervousness.As time goes on,you will come to find that having a group of people listening to you alone is a very satisfying experience.A.The only thing we have to fear is fear itself.B.In fact,it would be harmful if you were not nervous.C.Try getting feedback from your listeners after a speech.D.The difference in nervousness among people is a matter of degree.E.Yet you must learn to cope with nervousness because speaking is important.F.Others,however,may get butterflies in their stomachs and feel weak in the knees.G.Perhaps the most important time for coping with nervousness is shortly before the speech.第二部分
