第二部分 阅读理解（满分40分）阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。
21．（6分） Connecting with people has become so much easier with advancing technology. Tasks that once required a postage stamp or carrier pigeon are now as simple as tapping a name or even a face on your screen, and you’re connected. But also easier is unconsciously getting caught up in a dilemma by violating certain new rules for communicating. A big one for some: Don’t call until you’ve texted to confirm it’s OK to call. But that’s just the beginning.
“I’m usually pretty mild and not much bothers me,” said Mark Angielle, a 22-year-old office manager from White Plains, New York. But the one thing that he hates more than anything else in life is the terrible one-word message — “K.” “At the very least reply with, Got it.” he said “At least give me a few words here. You’re not that busy.”
There are hundreds, perhaps even thousands, of others who have taken Lo social media to express their distaste for people who don’t follow the unwritten rules of digital communication.
“These rules are simply a new display of a phenomenon we’ve seen in the past,” said James Ivory, professor of communication a Virginia Tech. In the same way that generations and small groups of friends have their own slang and customs, internet culture has given birth to technology-dependent beings that have their own unique set of routine.
But not everyone gets the point. Unlike language, digital communication can be filled with ambiguous clues (线索、迹象) that the person on the other end of the call, text or email may or may not easily understand.
“As soon as people aren’t talking face to face, the first thing that gets lost is some of the richness of the body language,” Ivory said, “People immediately fill that gap by using emoji (表情符号) to sum up a feeling in seconds.
“There's great potential for danger,” Ivory warned. “What's considered polite in one form might be inappropriate or rude in another occasion.”
1、What can you infer about Mark from Paragraph 2?
A．He is a businessman with a bad temper.
B．He complains about social manners.
C．He can’t bear one- word messages.
D．He dislike a busy business life.
2、According to the text, which of the following breaks the rules for communicating?
A．John says “I got it.” to his boss face to face.
B．Jim calls Bill without confirming in advance.
C．Mary texts Lily to make sure if she can call her.
D．Jack sends “Thanks a lot” to his business friends.
3、Why may people misunderstand each other during digital communication?
A．Emoji cannot sum up feelings.
B．People use their own slang and customs.
C．There are large quantities of written rules.
D．People gets wrong messages without clear clues.
4、What are people expected to do after reading tie passage?
A．To obey their own digital communication rules.
B．To be aware of rules during digital communication.
C．To use advancing technology even with disadvantages.
D．To keep pace with digital communication development.
22．（8分）At a time when almost anything can be purchased with just one click, it’s become an automatic response to simply replace what breaks. Generations raised in the earlier half of the 20th century will say that this wasn’t always so: household appliances（器具）, clothing, electronics and more used to be bought under the assumption that, with the occasional repairs, they would last a lifetime.
Now, some conscientious consumers are taking matters into their own hands and joining the Repair Café movement. Founded in Amsterdam in 2009 by sewing expert Martine Postma, the original nonprofit has expanded to more than 1,500 locations worldwide. These pop-up events, which are run by volunteers, offer lessons in how to fix anything from fixing a button to an unresponsive laptop.
“There’s juice and treats and you get to meet new people,” says Bennett, a retired civil servant and volunteer fixer at the Repair Cafe Toronto, where she mends jewellery. She brings her own specialized tools but says most items could be repaired by anyone with a pair of pliers and some determination. “Something that is broken took time and resources to make, so if you’re throwing it out, you’re wasting those resources. ”
If you can’t find a Repair Cafe near you, it’s easy to start one. RepairCafe. org offers a starter manual with step-by-step instructions.
Changing how we acquire things is necessary, but there’s also something to be said for simply not getting them in the first place. “Most of us have more than what we need,” says Marina. “This can lead to a lot of anxiety, like—think about everything packed in the back of your closet; do you own those things or do they own you?” She suggests we train ourselves to make mindful purchases.
Lazarovic, whose delayed purchase went even further, explains that less shopping has freed up more time for family activities, dinner with friends and making art. By doing so, as she puts it, “I got out of that need-to-buy-it craze and in the end I feel good that I’ve made something.”
1、How would people raised in the 1940s deal with broken home appliances?
A．Sell them at a lower price. B．Press the button to find the fault.
C．Repair them to last longer. D．Donate them to recycling stations.
2、What does Bennett say about her work?
A．She likes the good food people bring for her work.
B．Helping make repairs means saving resources.
C．She will set up her own Repair Cafe soon.
D．She learned to repair jewels after she retired.
3、Which of the following best explains “conscientious” underlined in Paragraph 2?
A．Responsible. B．Generous.
C．Powerful. D．Irreplaceable.
4、What good does Lazarovic think less shopping will do to us?
A．It’ll make us less anxious about used things at home.
B．It’ll force us to make donations of unwanted things.
C．It’ll lead us to explore the world more responsibly.
D．It will provide us more time for beneficial events.
23．（8分）I was in a taxi in Singapore last week and I couldn’t help but notice the sticker attached to the back of the driver’s seat. In English and Chinese it read, “We accept Alipay.” It was a reminder that e-commerce in China is no longer just about how great brands break into the Chinese market. It’s also about an important slice of China’s economy coming to you.
If you are a brand manager or a salesman, you’re increasingly likely to find yourself fighting with the push of Chinese e-commerce companies in your home market. That’s for two reasons: China’s leadership in electronic payments and the continued rise in Chinese tourism. The result of this is that Chinese consumers are an increasingly important factor in markets around the world.
On the electronic payment front, there are some strong reasons to introduce the electronic payment systems Chinese consumers are already using. In China, the traditional wallet has been replaced by an electronic wallet on a smartphone. It’s common to make all of your payments for daily needs through that smartphone, using one of the two main electronic payment providers: WeChat Pay or Alipay.
It’s not just easy to use. These two tech companies have the reach and customer base to push their payment systems beyond their original e-commerce mission. Noodle shops will take electronic payments, and even street musicians have QR for donations. Whether you are paying your electricity bill or seeing a doctor, your mobile phone can handle the payment.
As a result, China is today the most cash-free of any of the world’s major economies — and that trend will continue. Already, the numbers are staggering. According to a survey by Ipsos and Tencent, 14% of Chinese people do not carry any cash, while 26% hold less than RMB100 (less than $16) in their wallets, day to day. According to consulting firm iResearch, in 2016 China’s mobile payments hit $5.5 trillion, almost 50 times America’s $112 billion.
1、The writer tells his experience in a taxi in Singapore to ________.
A．introduce the topic of the text
B．examine a problem in detail
C．offer some solutions to an issue
D．inform the finding of a new study
2、The fact that Alipay is accepted overseas indicates that ________.
A．mobile payment in china is becoming more and more popular
B．Chinese economy is taking up a bigger share internationally
C．great brands find it harder to enter the Chinese market
D．the world market is determined by Chinese tourists
3、The aim of paragraphs 3-4 is to ________.
A．warn the cost and safety of cash-free payment
B．explain the reasons for the popularity of electronic payment
C．prove the common usage of mobile payment with numbers
D．introduce the two main digital payment providers
4、Which can best replace the underlined word “staggering” in the last paragraph?
A．Worrying. B．Important.
C．Ridiculous. D．Impressive.
24．（8分）Is going on holiday of any benefit? New research shows that going on holiday makes you not only feel good while you’re there but also gain the health benefits for months.
Jetting off to destinations such as the Maldives cuts your blood pressure, helps you sleep better and bounce back from stress. The benefits last at least a fortnight longer than the vacation and can be felt for months in some cases where it is claimed. Experts say workers should always take their holiday entitlement (权利) each year, but as ‘many as one in three don’t.
The study compared key health markers in holidaymakers visiting Thailand, Peru or the Maldives, with those in people who stayed at home and continued working. The average blood pressure of those on holiday dropped by six percent while the workers saw their blood pressure rise by two percent over the same period. The sleep quality of holidaymakers improved by 17 percent while that of the non—holidaymakers deteriorated by 14 percent.
The study also found the ability of vacationers to recover from stress, known as the stress-resilience test, improved by 29 percent. There was a 71 percent fall in stress-resilience scores among workers. Tests showed fallen blood glucose (葡萄糖) levels, reduced risk of diabetes (糖尿病), trimmer waistlines and improved mood and energy levels, with the effects sustained for at least two weeks after returning home.
The Holiday Health Experiment was conducted by tour operator Kuoni and Nuffield Health, the UK’s largest healthcare charity.
