15.Didi Chuxing,a ride-sharing company,was praised by Fortune magazine in 2016.According to the magazine,it is changing the world with its environmentally friendly solution to getting around in major cities.Didi estimated that its carpooling services helped reduce total car trips in the country by l million a day,which saved 500 million liters of gas and cut 13.5 million tons of carbon emissions per day.
Didi is just one example of the"sharing economy".The sharing economy is one in which people exchange goods and services,usually using an online marketplace.Other similar companies include Airbnb and Couch-surfing,which allow people to rent out their homes,and similar ride-sharing services like Uber and Lyft.
All of these services are possible because many people are realizing that they have underused assets.Millions of people have started renting out their underused personal assets online to earn extra money.They rent their apartments while they are away for the weekend,lend people their cars for money and even sell their spare time.
The sharing economy has not only saved money and resources,but also created new job and income opportunities for people.For example,some people don't necessarily spend money to have clear title to a vehicle,but they want to be able to use one.By some agencies,like Didi,they can get the use of a car only paying small rent and a fixed commission fee.
Technology has helped to reduce costs,making sharing assets cheaper and easier than ever and therefore possible on a much larger scale.Before the Internet,renting a raincoat from someone else was possible,but it was usually more trouble than it was worth.Now websites like Airbnb,RelayRides and Snapgoods match up owners and renters.Online reviews and ratings usually posted by both people who participate in a transaction build up trust.Online payment systems deal with the money.
The sharing economy is the latest example of the Internet's value to customers.This model is now big enough for regulators and companies to have woken up to it.That is a sign of its great potential.

32.The example of Didi Company is mainly to showD.
A.riding-sharing companies are the most popular
B.Didi company has gained large profits
C.sharing economy is an environmentally friendly solution

35.What is the author's attitude towards sharing economy?C
A.Doubtful.B.Oppositive.C.Supportive.D.Unconcerned.

6."Some secrets are hidden from health,"wrote John Updike in his poem"Fever".
I have experienced the truth of Updike's observation.My excellent health kept me from seeing some things-things that became secrets of sort.
One relates to my son Chris.When I lost my health in March,I discovered something I had missed about him.
Christopher has been a scholar and athlete through high school.He has behaved responsibly,engaged in community service.He has had an impressive peer group of serious students.
While I saw these things,I had missed before what I experienced while in hospital. Early on,Christopher offered the clearest and most forceful words about my need to be positive and to fight acute leukemia(急性白血。瓾e never left the room after a visit without making me promise that I would be mentally tough and positive.
During the first week,he showed his own mental toughness,researching leukemia and learning what the chances were.He even stopped my doctor outside the room,introduced himself and asked directly what he thought of my chances.He processed the answer without overreaction.
Christopher did tell me seriously against my choice of words the first week at home.I had moved back into my room from weighing myself,discovering a thin figure I did not know.I announced to him and my wife,"dead man walking".I thought it was a way to lighten the obvious.He saw it as negativity and was strongly against such thinking and talking.
When I resisted taking medicine sometimes,Christopher formed a"good-cop-bad-cop"team with his mother.Betsy gently and patiently encouraged.He directly and forcefully insisted.He always made the logical arguments for why I needed to take some awful pills.
My health had hidden something from me; my ill-health helped me to see it.

24.The underlined sentence in Paragraph 5 indicates that the authorB.
A.knew little about his son until in hospital
B.got to know more about his son while in hospital

A.He told the author not to say anything wrong.
B.He always encouraged the author to be confident.
C.He offered some suggestions to the doctor.
D.He tried to get help from community service.

A.A trick to force the author to obey.
B.A measure to keep the author happy.
C.A joint effort to persuade the author both kindly and forcefully.
D.A friendly way to make the author see what was good for him.
27.What may be the best title for the text?A

10.Long school holidays help students clear their heads,relax a little and stretch their brains in different ways.
Traditionally,schooling schedules have long been based more on  the needs of society than on efficient education strategies.For instance,in Iceland it was traditionally arranged to allow children to help out with harvest.Other countries have long summer vacations because it is simply too hot to study.In other areas where religion plays an important role in the holiday season,the religion calendar then calls for the break,so that students can have ample time to participate in the religious ceremonies and traditions of seasonal holidays.
There are some obvious advantages to a vacation that lasts longer.Families who live a long distance from relatives are able to travel together,sometimes across the ocean,in order to connect with their loved ones.Even if there is no visiting family far away,a long holiday is a great opportunity for kids to interact with the community.From an educational point of view,a child that is able to experience another culture can gain valuable language,history,and social skills.
Long school holidays are also needed in schools that have become overly academic and too exam-focused in recent years,which requires a considerably longer holiday break from such a"marathon pumping(灌輸)of knowledge,"and it makes great sense!
Great psychologists,like Freud and Piaget,have stressed play's central role in the formation of fully-rounded (全面發(fā)展的) individuals,so the long holiday achieves this by allowing students to explore the world outside school.The students get to participate in activities that would be difficult to do during a regular school term.
As a consequence,long school holiday can be quite constructive to our students!

28.What traditionally determines the arrangement of school holidays?A
A.Local needs.
B.Cultural activities.
C.Religious customs.
D.Academic performance.
29.Which is one of the advantages of long holidays?D
A.Students run away from exams.
B.Children can learn science and history.
C.Fewer courses are required at school.
D.Family bonds are strengthened.
30.Freud and Piaget may probably agree thatB.
A.schools need longer holidays      
B.holiday activities are necessary
C.play is more important than learning
D.students should travel around the world
31.What is the best title of the passage?C
A.Traditional School Holidays   
B.Activities for Long Holidays
C.Benefits of Long Holidays      
D.Advice from Psychologists.

With more recognition than Halloween and less than Christmas,Valentine’s Day as an imported festival faces a dangerous situation in China,where it’s caught between forces of tradition and fashion.Valentine’s Day has a natural enemy in China.And it is not the Chinese equivalent,which falls on the seventh day of the seventh month on the lunar calendar,usually around half a year away from February 14.It is the Spring Festival,also known as the Chinese New Year,that will influence the Feast of Saint Valentine.

The real disagreement between East and West probably took place over a century ago,when China’s door was forced open by Western powers and Chinese scholars supported westernization as a means to strengthen our nation's ability to compete.The introduction of the solar calendar and Western measurements was both an acknowledgment of their influence and an effort to be accepted by the world order.

For a full century,we have had two systems running in parallel.When it comes to the eventual outcome, practicality usually beats all other concerns.Laws can help,such as the three traditional festivals of Tomb Sweeping, Dragon Boat and Mid-Autumn gaining legal status in 2008 and giving every Chinese citizen a day off,but laws cannot push what people have no feelings for.Therefore,the celebration or boycott of imported holidays or homegrown ones should be no cause for worry.If they are irrelevant,no social media will change the public's mind; and if they are accepted,there must be a need which they happen to satisfy.

Since we have no global Qin Shihuang to force one system on every country,we can always rely on a dual (雙重的) approach by which we share with the outside world on one hand but preserve our own ways of life on the other.

1.What does the author think about Valentine's Day in present China?

A. It meets with a natural enemy.

B. It is better known than Christmas.

C. It strongly attacks Chinese culture.

D. It is more popular with young people.

2.According to the author,the leading factor to decide what to celebrate is .

A. current laws B. people’s needs

C. public media D. age-old tradition

3.The author believes that .

A. the conflict between the East and the West will last long

B. Chinese festivals are to be paid more attention to in years

C. both Chinese and foreign systems of festivals can co-exist in China

D. this cultural shock is normal and will be received by more people in the future

9.Life in the Internet age is lonely-or is it?That's what experts in human interaction are debating after a new Stanford University survey has been published.
    According to the study,the more time people spend online,the less they can spare for real-life relationships with family and friends.The researchers asked 113 people about the Web's influence on daily activities.36% of those people are online for more than five hours a week."As Internet use becomes more widespread,it will have an increasingly isolating (孤立的) effect on society,"says Robert Kraut,one of the researchers.
    Scholars and Web lovers criticized the study for stretching its data to make the"isolating"point.While 13% of regular Web users admitted the loss of time with loved ones,60% reported watching less TV.The survey also shows that E-mail is the most popular online activity,If some of webheads (網(wǎng)蟲)spend what was once passive TV time keeping company with friends via E-mails,"that's a move toward greater connectedness,"says Paul Resnick,a professor at the University of Michigan.
This isn't the first claim that the Web should be criticized,A 1998 report monitored 73Pittsburgh-area families'Net use for a year.People who used the Internet more"talked less to family members and reported being lonelier and more depressed."says Robert Kraut.
"It's true that there have been big declines in social connectedness over the past decades,but those declines began before the Internet was invented,"says Thomas Putnam.
    As Amitay Etzioni says,the Internet gives us a different kind of social life-not better or worse than before,but just different.

28.Who claimed that the Web had negative influence?A
A.Robert Kraut.B.Paul Resnick.C.Thomas Putnam.D.Amitay Etzioni.
29.The underlined word"This"in Para.4 refers toA.
A.the study conducted by Stanford University
B.the survey made by the University of Michigan
C.the conclusion in a report written in 1998
D.the opinion expressed in Bowling Alone
30.From the passage we learn thatC.
A.watching TV used to take time away from staying online
B.36% of web users spend more than five hours a week online
C.the Web was blamed more than once for causing an isolating effect
D.the Web has the same influence as telephones and televisions
31.The passage mainly discussesB.
A.how we can make a better use of the Internet
B.whether the Internet causes an isolating effect
C.how declines in social connectedness appear
D.what a different life the Internet brings to us.
