第二部分阅读理解(共两节，满分40分)

第一节(共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分)

阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。

A

Signing up for a digital TV service provides you with access to over 200 channels from all over the globe. However, television today is dominated by adult language, making it hard for concerned families to find channels suitable for young eyes. Therefore, most movie channels are automatically removed from the list of TV channels for an entire family. The following are some good ones based on popularity on a global scale.

Discovery Channel

Discovery and its many channels can be considered as the founding father of informative channels on television. While National Geographic does in a scholastic(学术的) manner, Discovery tries to do in an entertaining manner—educating the masses about anything and everything.

Fox Family

Finding a movie channel that broadcasts pictures suitable for teenagers and kids alike is very difficult unless your service operator offers you Fox family movies. This channel screens most movies before it broadcasts them, ensuring that no movie shows unacceptable material for young eyes.

Nickelodeon

A channel very similar to Cartoon Network, it mostly shows US progra ms. However, their shows are sometimes a bit more mature for younger kids and better suited to kids aged 5and up.

ABC Family

ABC started the ABC family channel in an attempt to introduce family-centered shows and serials to the public in the USA. The need for this channel was felt after ABC observed the lack of proper family type US channels.

Living

If travelling is a family hobby and better living is the motto then there is no better channel than Living. Kids can see never-seen-before sights, learning about new places while adults can practice their cooking and learn amazing things about motorbikes.

21. According to the text, most channels offered by a digital TV service ______.

A. can keep people away from TV violence

B. are welcomed by families with small children

C. are concerned about the proper use of language

D. are unsuitable for the whole family to watch together

22. Which of the following can best describe Discovery Channel?

A. Relaxing.

B. Touching.

C. Commercial.

D. Professional.

23. If people want to know about what a traditional family is like, they can choose ____.

A. Fox Family

B. Nickelodeon

C. ABC Family

D. Living

B

Many months ago when I was a young manager in a large company, we had a wise chairman. He combined the skills of communication, both oral and written, with a mysterious ability either to charm or to frighten those who came in contact with him in the company as well as outside of it. He also took personal interest in promising managers by interacting with them and encouraging them in various ways.

Some of them became so successful that other companies poached (窃取) them, and those managers themselves progressed in t heir new positions faster than in our company mostly because the competition in their new positions wasn’t of the same quality. As time went by and some of these gentlemen became famous themselves, a few of them began to make negative remarks about my chairman.

One day I happened to express my rather critical views about the renegades(叛徒) to my chairman. He responded to me, “Whenever someone says or does something that may be harmful to me, I ask myself a question as to what are the good things I have done to this man that he is now doing this to me. You, as a young man, should learn that when you do something good for someone there is always a possibility that sooner or later some of them would begin to do or say things against you. The reason could be that the renegade dislike the fact that his success has been partly due to your help and guidance.”

His words turned out to be true in my own experience in later life, when the same phenomenon occurred. Perhaps, as the older man told me, such behavior is caused by the dislike of having been dependent on someone else for one’s own success.

24. What does the author think of the chairman?

A. He is a brave and easygoing man.

B. He is a wise and warm-hearted man.

C. He is a hardworking and respectable man.

D. He is a man who likes tricks and skills .

25. How did the chairman deal with all sorts of people?

A. He often made false promises.

B. He had his special social ability.

C. He showed a severe attitude to others.

D. He was good at praising others.

26. Why did the renegades make negative remarks about the chairman?

A. Because the chairman was critical of them.

B. Because they envied what the chairman had achieved.

C. Because they hated having partly relied on him.

D. Because they became famous and disliked his help.

27. What can we infer from the third paragraph?

A. The chairman often asked the author questions.

B. The author was critical about the chairman.

C. Most young men were unkind to others after success.

D. The chairman had expected some negative remarks.

C

American-based startup V olterman has recently released a smart wallet that takes security to the extreme. It comes with a built-in alarm system, a GPS tracker, and even a front facing camera that takes photos of whoever tries to open it, and sends them to the owner.

Wallets almost seem obsolete in this digital age, but the V olterman Smart Wallet is not your average wallet. One of the main features(特色) of the V olterman Smart Wallet is the distance-sensitive alarm system. Once you’ve paired the stylish card holder with your smartphone, every time the distance between phone and wallet goes over a certain threshold(临界值), an alarm will remind you, so you don’t accidentally leave it behind. The cool thing about this system is that it works both ways. If you forget your phone somewhere, the wallet alarm goes off, letting you know that its best friend is missing.

Then there’s the GPS tracker that allows you to locate the wallet anywhere in the world, an RFID(Radio Frequency Identification) protection system designed to prevent electronic pick-pocketing or RFID skimming. Credit cards, some passports and driver licenses now come with RFID chips that thieves can copy, but the V olterman Smart Wallet prevents that.

But perhaps the most unusual feature of the V olterman Smart Wallet is the built-in front-facing camera. When in “lost mode”, the wallet will take pictures whenever someone tries to open it and send them to the owner by connecting to the internet. This feature is listed as optional, so would-be customers concerned about privacy issues needn’t be worried.

“If someone dares to open your wallet without your knowledge, the little camera will take a picture and send it to your mobile phone,” said Azat Tovmasyan, founder of Volterman. “We have developed a wa llet, which does not get lost. Once your wallet is stolen, you will find it easily by receiving the picture of the thief.”

28. What can we learn about the V olterman Smart Wallet?

A. It can trap whoever attempts to steal your phone.

B. It enables the users to know where their wallets are.

C. It will automatically take the picture of the thief.

D. It protects your passports from being pick-pocketed.

29. Which of the following is NOT the feature of the V olterman Smart Wallet?

A. A built-in alarm system.

B. A front-facing camera.

C. A GPS tracker.

D. A RFID chip.

30. What does the underlined word “obsolete” mean in this passage?

A. of no use

B. out of date

C. within reach

D. beyond doubt

31. Where can you most probably read this passage?

A. In a research paper.

B. In an advertisement.

C. In a book review.

D. In a newspaper.

D

Payment platforms run promotions to boost WeChat and Alipay, two major online payment platforms in China, and call for consumers to go cashless and cardless in their daily life in August. Cashlessness is a new Chinese characteristic. In a recent report by Tencent, the Chongyang Institute for Financial Studies at Renmin University of China, and French market research firm Ipsos, 84 percent of Chinese were "comfortable" going out with only mobile phones, no cash.

Gao Jingwen, in her 20s, can hardly recall when she last paid in cash."I do not need cash in a restaurant, seeing a doctor, paying electricity and water bills. I cannot think of any place I cannot pay with my smartphone," she says.

The new payment pattern has won over Chinese consumers with its convenience and flexibility, squeezing the market share of card and cash payments. It has also helped improve the outdated, time-consuming services at

government offices and public sectors(部门).

Alipay or WeChat? This is the question often asked when a purchase is made in China. Cards and cash, the once major purchasing methods, have become a second option in less than half a decade."Mobile payment companies were worried about their future just four years ago, but the spread of technology has gone beyond the imagination of almost everyone," says Li Gang, a professor at the Tencent Research Institute.

Data from the People's Bank of China showed a total of 157 trillion yuan of payments were made on mobile devices in China last year, more than 200 times that in the United States in the same period. The figure is expected to continue expanding by 50 percent each year, it said. It is no accident that mobile payment has expanded so fast in China. According to a report by eMarketer, China's lack of "credit card culture" has somewhat fueled the popularization of mobile payments, especially in small cities and underdeveloped areas.

Both the internet giants have actively expanded their services overseas since last year. Alipay can be used in several hundreds of thousands of shops in over 70 countries, while WeChat has landed in 19 countries and regions, including Japan, Thailand and Republic of Korea－most popular destinations among Chinese tourists. "The door to

a new world has opened, and a promising future awaits," Jia says.

32. Most people choose to pay with phones not because it is ______.

A. flexible

B. time-saving

C. convenient

D. comfortable

33. From the data given by the People’s Bank of China, we can learn ______.

A. Mobile payment is not popular in the United States.

B. People in China are unwilling to use cards and cash.

C. Mobile payment has a bright future in China.

D. 2018 will see about 200 trillion in mobile payment.

34. The underlined word “fueled” in the last paragraph but one means ______.

A. tightened

B. increased

C. flowed

D. obtained

35. Which of the following can be the best title for the text?

A. The Internet giants expand their services overseas

B. Mobile payment witnesses a boom in China.

C. Payment platforms run promotions a lot.

D. Payment pattern opens a door to the world.

第二节(共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分)

根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。

Purchasing holiday gifts can be expensive and stressful. With pressure to get all of the gifts bought and beautifully wrapped in time for the holidays, we don't always make the best purchases. Here's a look at several

Failing to comparison shop.

Retailers(零售商) use "compare at" prices or sticker prices to make you think that you're getting a great deal with the store's sale price. But with a little comparison shopping, it's very possible that you'll find the same or similar product for an even better price online or in another store. Use comparison shopping smartphone apps like RedLaser, ShopSavvy and Smoopa before you check out. 37 .

Getting tempted by a "deal."

Some retailers play mind games with consumers using come-ons like "buy one, get one half off" or "free shipping with a minimum $75 purchase." At times, I've found myself looking for a second item I can get at half price or adding extra products to my online shopping cart to qualify for "free" shipping . 38 . If not, buy only what you came for and put the rest back.

Waiting until the last minute.

As of mid-November, almost half of consumers hadn't started their holiday shopping yet, according to the National Retail Federation. 39 . Sure, you might be lucky and find a last-minute deal, but it's also possible that in the last-minute holiday rush, you might not find what you're looking for and end up paying more than you'd planned out of desperation.

40 .

When setting your holiday budget, you probably take gifts for your close friends, relatives and significant other into consideration. But what happens when an acquaintance drops off a gift and you feel obliged to return? Try to build a buffer(缓冲) into your holiday budget so you'll have a little wiggle room（回旋余地）.

A. Setting a holiday budget.

B. Forgetting to budget for the extras.

C. Even wise shoppers may fall into these traps.

D. Americans will spend just over $800 on holiday gifts this year.

E. In some cases, you may even get the retailer to match a competitor's price.

F. In fact, the biggest shopping day is usually the Saturday before Christmas.

G. Before you check out, ask yourself if you really have a use for the extra items.
