[2024·吉林实验中学四模]During the past Spring Festival, many children may have received red packets from their families. But Xing Pu, a 40yearold economist, is asking the government to give red packets to every Chinese citizen.
Xing suggested the government give out 1,000 yuan to each Chinese since the government income has increased rapidly in recent years. He said his suggestion would allow everyone to directly enjoy the fruits of the country's economic success, help the lowerincome groups deal with rising prices and increase consumption (消费) around the country.
Recent years have seen the government carry out a series of propoor (扶贫) and prorural (惠农) policies, including increasing spending on public healthcare and calling off the agricultural tax. But the lowerincome group still needs more help while being hit hard by an 11year high in prices and recent snowstorms.
Xing said while making the draft, he has borrowed many ideas from practices in countries like the United States and Singapore. Earlier this year, the governments of the two nations offered cash handouts (救济) to their citizens as the result of a surplus in government income. As for in China, “We can even encourage the rich to donate their 1,000 yuan red packet to the poor，” said Xing.
Although Xing's suggestion has gained wide support among ordinary Chinese on the Internet, many other economists criticized it as unpractical. Even Xing himself admitted he made the suggestion without any careful calculation. But they agreed with Xing's point that the growing economic pie should be shared among the people.
“To better use the increase of money, handing out money is not a solution that holds good for all time. It could be better to improve the public service or cut the price of energy use in daily life，” said Qiao Xinsheng, an economic professor.
春节期间孩子会得到家人给的红包，但40岁的经济学家也要求政府发给农民红包，从而引起了广泛的讨论。

[2024·河南郑州质量预测一]“A photograph that one has taken of oneself, typically with a smart phone or webcam and uploaded to a social media website” is the definition of “selfie” in the Oxford English Dictionary. In fact, it wasn't even in the dictionary until August of last year. It earned its place there because people are now so obsessed with (对……痴迷) selfies－we take them when we try on a new hat, play with our pets or when we meet a friend whom we haven't seen in a while.
But is there any scientific explanation for this obsession? Well, you should probably ask James Kilner, a neuroscientist (神经系统科学家) at University College London.
Through our lifetime we become experts at recognizing and interpreting other people's faces and facial expressions. In contrast， according to Kilner, we have a very poor understanding of our own faces since we have little experience of looking at them－we just feel them most of the time.
This has been proved in previous studies, according to the BBC.
Kilner found that most people chose the more attractive picture. This suggests that we tend to think of ourselves as betterlooking than we actually are. To further test how we actually perceive our own faces, Kilner carried out another study. He showed people different versions of their own portrait－the original, one that had been edited to look less attractive and one that was made more attractive－and asked them to pick the version which they thought looked most like them. They chose the more attractive version.
But what does it say about settles? Well, isn't that obvious? Selfies give us the power to create a photograph－by taking it from various angles, with different poses, using filters (滤色镜) and so on－that better matches our expectations with our actual faces.
“You suddenly have control in a way that you don't have in nonvirtual (非虚拟的) interactions.” Kilner told the Canadabased CTV News. Selfies allow you “to keep taking pictures until you manage to take one you're happy with”， he explained.
文章主要讲述了人们为什么喜爱“自拍”的一项报告。
5．What is the passage mainly about?
A．The definition and fun of taking selfies.
B．A study of why people love taking selfies.
C．How taking selfies influences people's daily lives.
D．How to interpret people's facial expressions in their selfies.
答案：B 考查主旨大意。根据第二段第一句“But is there any scientific explanation for this obsession？”以及下文的内容可推出，文章主要解释的是人们喜欢自拍的原因。
6．The underlined word “perceive” in Paragraph 5 can be replaced by “________”．
A．interpret
B．beautify
C．choose
D．explain
答案：A 考查词义猜测。根据上文的“we have a very poor understanding of our own faces since we have little experience of looking at...”perceive “理解为；认为”；interpret “领会，理解为”。
