USA data shows that boys rank behind girls in almost all areas of schooling. They earn lower 3. (grade) overall in primary school and high school. They are behind girls in reading and writing, and 30 percent of 4. are in bottom quarter of standardized tests, 5.(compare) with 19 percent of girls.

The head of China's largest online seller Alibaba does not think China and the United States will have a trade war despite comments from the Trump administration.

Jack Ma is the chairman of the Alibaba Group. At the World Economic Forum meeting in Davos, Switzerland, he said, "China and (the) U.S. will never have a trade war. Give Trump some time. He's open-minded, he's listening."

The Chinese billionaire said he would do all he could to prevent trade relations between the countries from getting worse.

Last week, Ma met with Trump at the Trump Tower in New York City. The Chinese billionaire is said to have discussed a plan to permit one million small U.S. businesses to sell goods on Alibaba's online shopping platform.

During the campaign and after winning the presidential election, Trump strongly criticized the Chinese government's support for its businesses. He blamed unfair trade policies for taking away U.S. jobs. And he said that China unfairly controls the exchange value of its currency, the yuan.

Trump also has threatened to place import taxes on goods from China and other countries in response to their trade policies.

According to the South China Morning Post, Ma said, "American international companies made millions and millions of dollars from globalization." He added that the U.S. should not blame the loss of jobs and companies on globalization.

However, a new study by an American business group says many U.S. businesses feel unwelcome in China. The companies say the cost of doing business in China is increasing. They add that rules and regulations are unclear or not enforced in a consistent way.

The American Chamber of Commerce in China led the study, which looked at responses from 462 companies.

William Zarit is chairman of the chamber. He says trade policies in China make it difficult for American companies. He says, "we feel that over the last few years that we've been taken advantage of to some extent, with our open market and the lack of open areas in the Chinese market."

Another major concern for U.S. companies in China is fake products. Fake products are copies of the originals that cost businesses with the legal right to sell them millions of dollars each year.

Ma defended Alibaba's efforts to fight fake products on its shopping platform. He said his company is doing all it can to fight the problem.

"Fighting against fake products is a war against human greediness," Ma said.

I'm Mario Ritter.

1.The underline phrase “The Chinese billionaire” refers to ________.

A. TrumpB. Jack MaC. Mario RitterD. Willian Zarit

2.The text likely take from the ________.

A. economic magazine

B. trade speech

C. website

D. global news

3.About this passage, the most suitable title is “________”.

A. Chinese Billionaire Does Not See China-US Trade War

B. The American international companies removed most tariffs on products traded between the U.S and China

C. Group says American businesses in China concerned

D. The war about fighting against fake products

科目：高中英語 來源：2017屆山西運(yùn)城市高三上期末考試英語試卷（解析版） 題型：閱讀理解

Beavers(河貍) are a very unique species in the world of nature and wildlife——they are architects. Their dams are fine examples of engineering.

A pair of beavers will build a dam, using branches, mud and stones, across a river. The water held back by the dam flows over the bank on either side of the river, flooding the nearby ground and forming a pond. At some point in the pond the beavers then build their home, which is called a lodge. This consists of a cone-shaped(錐狀的) pipe of branches and sticks of two to six feet in length held together with mud and stones, the top of which projects above the waterline. It serves as a shelter from the bad weather, a safety from enemies and a base for food supplies to be drawn upon in winter.

From an engineering point of view the lodge could hardly be improved. Not only does it contain a central room just above water level, which is accessible only through underwater tunnels, but it also has “walls”, one or more escape tunnels and an air hole at the top, which controls the temperature inside and gives air-conditioning. It is altogether a clever piece of construction, with all modern conveniences. It is, in fact, better protected against the effects of flooding than many human houses.

Trees are essential to beavers. They eat the bark on the upper branches. But they must first fell the trees, using their four front teeth. With these sharp tools, it takes only a few minutes to cut down a tree.

The engineering skill of beavers is to a large extent a result of their ability to use their front paws as hands. A female will carry her young held under her chin(下巴) with her front paws, walking on her hind legs. A similar method is used by all beavers when transporting stones or mud, although they also carry such materials on their broad flat trails. The fore-paws are also used for digging and for dragging heavier pieces of wood.

1.Which of the following pictures best illustrates the beaver’s lodge?

A. B.

C. D.

2.Which of the following sentences is Not the reason why trees are important to beavers?

A. They live on the barks on the upper branches of trees.

B. They use trees’ branches to build dams.

C. They build their lodge with the branches.

D. They us branches to transport mud and stones.

3.The underlined word “fell” in Paragraph 4 probably means ________.

A. move awayB. cut downC. cut upD. move about

4.This text is mainly about ________.

A. the beaver’s lodge

B. the beaver’s engineering skills

C. the beaver’s dam

D. the beaver’s intelligence

These and other comments made me find a personally trainer. The comments also made me feel terrible about my figure, what in turn caused unhealthy behavior included secret eating. Now, at 24 years old, I weigh 240 pound and I’m still getting those same comments from my family, despite a fact that I’ve asked them to stop. Such comments are really annoyed. I do hope that all parents will stop to saying such things to their children.
