But a report from China Youth Daily has found another side of them.“Although they are influenced by popular culture, the post-00s treat buying more like researching,” reported China Youth Daily.Wang Yihan, 16, from Fuzhou, Fujian, is typically such a person. She decided to buy a Casio watch, but she didnt pay for the most popular type. Instead, she researched all of the watches available. “I looked up information on different Casio watches online and I compared them. I also did research on their makers,” said Wang. For Wang, researching things is as enjoyable as buying them.Rationality is also important to them, the report pointed out.Sun Xiaoxue, 15, from Huairen, Shanxi province, likes making her own journals (日志). “I found many stickers (贴纸) bought when I was a child. Since most of them were old and out of style, I cut and put them together to make them my own. The stickers make my journals more special,” said Sun. “I feel so good to turn waste into treasure and also it helps me to spend less money.”For Liu Yu, 17, from Yantai, Shandong province, her buying doesnt directly show her interests. Although she is a lover of Han costumes, she hardly spends money on them. “Instead of buying them, I am more interested in the culture and history behind the costumes when comparing different kinds of them,” said Liu.46.How did Wang Yihan decide which Casio watch to buy?A. By comparing the prices.B. By studying many different watches.C. By choosing the most popular one.47.What does the underlined word “rationality” mean in Paragraph 4?A. 实力B. 兴致C. 理性48.Sun Xiaoxue thinks that her way of making journals _.A. is old but popularB. takes a lot of timeC. is special and saves money49.How does Liu Yu show her love for Han costumes?A. She often buys a lot of them.B. She learns about the culture and history behind them.C. She takes part in activities about them.50.The report mainly talks about the _ of the “post-00s” generation.A. spending habitsB. special interestsC. learning abilitiesBIn ancient Rome, food tasters were once asked to make sure the kings food was safe to eat. An electronic tongue (舌头) promises to do that and so much more now. Although the human tongue can taste different foods, there are limits to what we can taste. Electronic tongues are a kind of tool that can be used to study different foods or drinks in greater detail.These “tongues” can be used to search for special chemicals (化学物) in food or drinks, and to compare the similarities and differences between different foods and drinks. Beyond this, electronic tongues can be used for other tasks like testing the water quality of rivers or even to test blood for signs of cancer.Mainly, these tools are helpful in carefully examining things humans cant or dont want to taste in order to see what they are like. For example, imagine a company experimenting with how to make a cough medicine taste like bananas. It would be unsafe for the same person to test 100 different kinds of banana cough soup.The truth is that “e-tongues” can do a lot more than any human tongue ever could. With this in mind, the food industry is using the technology in many interesting ways.Scotch (苏格兰威士忌) is known to get better the longer it ages, as the price of a good Scotch shows. But sometimes, people try to sell 1-year-old Scotch for the price of 18-year-old Scotch. To stop this, electronic tongues are used to compare Scotch samples (样本), which ensures that the Scotch is as advertised.Similarly, many consumers mistakenly buy unclean honey because they cant find the difference between real and unreal honey. However, e-tongues can. They decide on a honey samples quality using electrical bursts.As it stands, this technology could lead to better-tasting and safer food, among other things. Best of all, to achieve these results, humans will no longer have to put their lives or their tongues on the line.51.What is an electronic tongue NOT used for?A. Studying different food or drinksB. Making sure the kings food was safe.C. Testing blood for some signs of cancer.52.We can learn from Paragraph 5 that _.A. 1-year-old Scotch is the most expensive.B. 9-year-old Scotch is the most expensive.C. 18-year-old Scotch is the most expensive.53.Which of the following about e-tongues is NOT true?A. E-tongues can test 100 different kinds of banana cough soup.B. E-tongues can stop Scotch from being advertised.C. E-tongues can find the difference between real and unreal honey.54.What does the underlined sentence mean in the last paragraph?A. Humans will lose their lives or their tongues.B. Humans will never get their lives or their tongues in danger.C. Humans will never own their lives or use their tongues.55.What does the passage mainly talk about?A. What e-tongues are used for.B. How e-tongues are made.C. What the differences between human tongue and e-tongues are.第三节语篇补全阅读下面的短文，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项补全短文。选项中有一项为多余选项。（共4小题，计8分）What if you had the chance to meet with a dead loved one in virtual reality (VR) (虚拟现实)?Recently, a South Korean video recording a special meeting between a mother and a daughter has touched the hearts of many people.
