3．High Speed Viewing Whenever a new technology begins to affect society，we hear arguments about the "soulless （没有灵魂的） modern way"，and the "good old days"，when things were slower.Often the older generation complains about the younger one.
This debate heated up again recently when The Beijing News reported that nearly 70 percent of young people in China speed-watch videos and shows online.It can be concluded that today's youth are so caught up in the fast pace of modern life that they can no longer give something their full attention.
There may be some truth to this，but is it the only truth？
I am one of these so-called speed-watchers.I tend to play South Korean soap operas the 2014 sensation （大热剧） Man From the Stars （《来自星星的你》），for example at 1.5 x or 2 x speed.The reason is simple.I want to know what the fuss is about and I don't want to be left out of conversations online and with friends.I also speed-listen to informative audio，like TED talks and lectures，with the only purpose of taking in as much information as possible.
But there are films and podcasts that have my full attention - and they will have it.When watching the likes of Downton Abbey （《唐顿庄园》） or Game of Thrones （《权利的游戏》），to name two，I won't skim past even a second of the action.Every long pause and change of emotion carry meaning that would be lost by speed-watching.
So perhaps the debate shouldn't be about which one is better - the fast life or the slow one.Instead，it's about understanding what's really important to you and taking control of the time you want to spend on it.
"This is the future of how we will appreciate television and movies，" wrote reporter Jeff Guo on The Washington Post. "We will watch videos in new ways using our powers of time manipulation （控制）.We will be watching on our own terms."
Indeed，there is no fast or slow there is only your own terms，and your own pace.
（1）What can we conclude from what The Beijing News reported？
A．The older generation is afraid of new technology.
B．The older generation loves looking back at the good old days.
C．Young Chinese people like to watch videos at faster speeds.
D．Young people are more likely to be happy with their lives.
（2）Why does the author share her own experience？
A．To complain about the quality of recent TV series.
B．To stress the importance of common interests with friends.
C．To tell readers what she thinks a good TV product is like.
D．To share how she chooses different speeds to watch videos.
（3）Which of the following would the author probably agree with？
A．Slow down to enjoy life.
B．Live life at your own pace.
C．Follow most people's lifestyle.
D．Hurry up to take in as much as you can.组卷：4引用：2难度：0.5 -
4．One beautiful spring day，a red rose blossomed in a forest.As the rose looked around，a pine tree nearby said， "What a beautiful flower!I wish I was that lovely."
The rose turned and said， "It seems that I am the most beautiful flower in this forest."
Then the rose looked at a cactus （仙人掌） and said， "Look at that ugly plant full of thorns!"
The pine tree said， "Red rose，what kind of talk is this？You have thorns too."
The proud red rose looked at the pine tree and said in anger."You do not know what beauty is at all.You cannot compare my thorns to those of the cactus."
"What a proud flower!" thought the trees.
The rose tried to move its roots away from the cactus.jye.ai it could not move.As he days passed，the red rose would look at the cactus and say insulting things，like "This plant is useless.How sorry I am to be his neighbor."
The cactus never got upset and even tried to advise the rose，saving. "God did not create any form of life without a purpose."
Spring passed，and the weather became very warm.Life became difficult in the forest，as there was no rain.The red rose was going to die because of the lack of water.
One day the rose saw sparrows stick their beaks（喙） into the cactus and then fly away，refreshed.This was puzzling and the red rose asked the pine tree what the birds were doing.The pine tree explained that the birds were getting water from the cactus.
The rose opened its eyes in wonder and said， "The cactus has water？"
"Yes，you can also drink from it.The sparrow can bring water to you if you ask the cactus for help."
The red rose felt too ashamed to ask for water from the cactus.jye.ai finally it did ask for help.The cactus kindly agreed.The birds filled their beaks with water and watered the rose's roots.
Thus the rose learned a lesson and never judged anyone by their appearance again.
（1）Why was the red rose angry with the pine tree at the beginning of the story？
A．Because it thought the pine tree was ugly.
B．Because it didn't want to be the pine tee's neighbor.
