21．（6分）Alibaba opened China’s version of Amazon’s cashier-less store, “Tao Cafe” at its second annual Taobao Maker Festival taking place from 8—12 July, and then showed it to the public. By scanning a QR code（二维码）on Taobao app at the entrance of the store« consumers are tracked with cameras for facial recognition. After going through the checkout doors, customers will automatically make a purchase through their smartphones without needing to head to a register and be able to leave the store with what they buy in hand.
The company, putting its efforts in Artificial Intelligence and data technologies, caused some ripples（波动）among offline retailers （零售商）. But if you think the e-commerce giant plans to get a slice of the physical-store pie, then you might get it wrong: “It’s not about Alibaba wanting to open more cafes, we are not in the restaurant business.” it’s about digitalizing the footprints of the visitors to an offline store, ‘‘ said Chris Tung, chief marketing officer of Alibaba Group.
He said, for example, in the online world, Alibaba can always personalize every web page based on users interest and preference thanks to big data, “When you open our app, every moment is different.” But on the other hand, “offline is becoming not so exciting anymore”, because many physical stores are always found to be very similar with no variation.
Tung said offline retailers could improve by adopting online data competence to link the identity of the customers» and optimize（优化）their in-store shopping experience. So in this sense, after physical stores have an understanding of what their customers need online, then they can allocate the products in the physical offline store accordingly. He further explained the pop-up Tao Cafe is one of the ways to present this “new retail” idea and opens up people’s thinking and calls for more partnership.

B．They are to replace the offline stores.
C．They help to inspire the upgrades of retail.
D．They arrange their products in a random way.

22．（8分） Black Friday is the Friday following Thanksgiving Day in the United States. It has been regarded as the beginning of the holiday shopping season. Although it’s not an official holiday, millions of employers give their employees the day off, and many people use that day to get a jump-start on their holiday shopping. A similar day in Canada and Great Britain is called “Boxing Day”.
Black Friday has become somewhat of a marketing sensation(营销效应) in recent years. Since 2005, it has been the busiest shopping day of the year. To lure shoppers, retailers (零售商) routinely open their doors as early as 4 a. m. and offer special sales and promotions to the shoppers that arrive early. Some of the special deals offered by stores are only available in limited quantities. That is why some shoppers intent on getting the best deals often camp out in front of stores overnight so that they’ll be the first in line when the doors open.
But why Black Friday? Historians believe the name started in Philadelphia in the mid-1960s. Bus drivers and police used “Black Friday” to describe the heavy traffic that would block city streets the day after Thanksgiving as shoppers headed to the stores.
Businesses, however, didn’t like the negative tone associated with the “Black Friday” name. In the early 1980s, a more positive explanation of the name began to spread. According to this alternative explanation, Black Friday is the day when retailers finally begin to turn a profit for the year. In accounting terms (会计行业), operating at a loss is called being “in the red” because accountants traditionally used red ink to show negative amounts. Positive amounts were usually shown in black ink. Thus, being “in the black” is a good thing because it means stores are operating at a profit.
Recently, for those who are too busy to shop on Black Friday or who just don’t want to fight the crowds, the Monday following Black Friday has become known as Cyber Monday (网络星期一) for the many online deals.
1、On Black Friday，the Americans .
A．don’t have to go to work as usual

C．are usually busy doing shopping
D．stay at home and relax themselves
2、The underlined word “lure” (in Paragraph 2) probably means .
A．protect B．attract
C．persuade D．remind
3、How do the retailers understand Black Friday?
A．It is totally different from Boxing Day.
B．They usually lose some money on the day.
C．It never keeps them very busy.
D．It probably brings them more money.
4、The author writes this passage in order to .
A．state the development of Cyber Monday
B．tell the difference between red and black
C．introduce Black Friday to the readers
D．explain the meaning of Boxing Day
23．（8分） How do you get to Carnegie Hall？"Practice，practice，practice" is the well-known answer. But for some inspiring young musicians from the Afghanistan National Institute of Music in Kabul，the road to the famous concert hall was more difficult.
The Afghan Youth Orchestra（AYO）is made up of young people who study at the Afghanistan National Institute of Music. It was the first orchestra created in Afghanistan in 30 years.
Gulalai Norestani，14，plays a traditional string instrument. Like many students，Gulalai became an orphan when her parents were killed during the war. Music is her salvation（解救物）."Music for me is a language of peace，"Gulalai said." It helps connect with people."
Milad Yousufi，18， is a piano student. "Music is my life, "he said. Milad also lost many of his family members during the war. When music was banned, he couldn't even touch a piano. So as a 12-year-old boy, he started painting and drawing. "I used to draw a piano," he said. Finally, Milad was free to play a real piano. "Our dream came true," he said "It is everyone's dream to play in Carnegie Hall."
And he has more dreams. "I have a dream to continue my education in America," he explained." I am working hard to make that happen. Then I have a dream to come back to Afghanistan and teach and serve people."
Because of continuing limits in Afghanistan, Gulalai and Milad listen mostly to the kind of classical music they played at Carnegie Hall. But Gulalai says she's heard a bit of Jennifer Lopez and Shakira and she likes them. Milad says he has heard of lady Gaga and Justin Bieber, but hasn't yet had a chance to listen to them.
Before Milad went onstage that night with the band of Afghan kids who had survived a war, I asked him if he had ever experienced true peace. "No, not yet," he answered, adding, "I hope I will be able to."
Later during the performance, as he played one of Carnegie Hall's famous grand pianos, the look of pure joy on his face convinced me that he found peace in music.
