8.A girl became a volunteer in the activities of Deathbed Care,which meant visiting and taking care of a patient suffering from an incurable disease with days numbered.
The girl was assigned to look after an old man suffering from cancer whose children lived abroad.Their living conditions were not satisfactory while the old man had a lot of savings.She was expected to comfort him and keep up his spirits.Every Saturday the girl came on time to keep his company,telling him stories.When he was having an intravenous drip (靜脈滴注),she would help massage his arms.The doctor found the patient much improved mentally.The old man began to involve himself actively in the medical treatment and he seldom shouted at others.
But something that happened made the doctor uneasy and puzzled.Each time the girl left,the old man would give her some money.The doctor did nothing to interfere (干涉),unwilling to offend the old man.A month later the old man showed evident signs of decline after suffering coma (昏迷) a few times.When rescued from the latest coma,the old man told the doctor his last wish,"I have deep sympathy for the girl.Will you be kind enough to help her finish her studies?"But the doctor knew that her family was well-off and she had no difficulty pursuing her studies.Sometimes she even came to the hospital in her father's car.
When the girl came at the weekend after the death of the old man,the doctor told her the bad news.She was very sad and burst into tears.Then she handed $ 500 to the doctor,saying,"The old man had all along thought I came to do the job because of poverty.He gave me money so that I could continue my schooling."Now he got the answer to the puzzle.In the last period of his life,the old man found it a real pleasure to be able to help a girl badly in need.

28.What kind of people do volunteers attend to in Deathbed Care?D
A.The patient in need of operations.

19.
A.However,Uber deny this was the intention.
B.Uber was criticized of deliberately ordering rides of rival companies.
C.Silicon Valley's culture seems hostile to humane and democratic values.
D.Uber wanted to know as much as possible about the people who use its service,and those who don't.
E.Uber is a transportation network company headquartered in San Francisco,operating in 570 cities worldwide.
F.In fact,it makes people wonder what would happen to someone carrying a knife who promised never to stab a policeman with it.
Time to Tame Silicon ValleyThe company Uber brings into very sharp focus the question of whether corporations can be said to have a moral character.If any human being were to behave with the single-minded and greed of the company,we would consider them anti-social.(67)D Therefore,it has an arrangement with Unroll.me,a company which offered a free service for unsubscribing from junk mail,to buy the contacts Unroll.me customers had had with rival taxi companies.Beyond that,it keeps track of the phones that have been used to book its services even after the original owner has sold them,but attempts this with Apple's phones is forbidden by the company.
Uber has also adjusted its software so that regulatory agencies that the company regarded as hostile would,when they tried to hire a driver,be given false reports about the location of its cars.Uber management booked and then cancelled rides with a rival company which took their vehicles out of circulation. (68)A The punishment for this behavior was so small that it was not worth worrying about.
Uber promised not to use this software against law enforcement. (69)F Travis Kalanick of Uber got a personal criticism from Tim Cook,who runs Apple,but the company did not prohibit the use of the app.Too much money was invested in that.
The"sharing economy"encourages the insecure and exploited to exploit others equally insecure to the profit of a tiny group of billionaires. (70)C The outgoing CEO of Yahoo,Marissa Mayer,who is widely judged to have been a failure,is likely to get a﹩186m payout.This may not be a cause for panic.Yet there's an urgent political task to tame these companies,to ensure they are punished when they break the law,that they pay their taxes fairly and that they behave responsibly.

3.Hummingbirds(蜂鳥) are one of nature's most energetic fliers and the only birds to hover(盤旋) in the air by relying on their strength alone.
Now scientists have found that it is the ratio(比值) of the bird's wing length to its width that makes them so efficient.The discovery is helping experts compete with 42million years of natural selection to build helicopters that are increasingly efficient.
David Lentink,an assistant professor at Stanford University in California,tested wings from 12different species of hummingbirds,which he sourced from museums.He placed them on a machine used to test the aerodynamics(氣力學(xué)) of the helicopter blades(槳葉).Professor Lentink's team used the same machine to test the blades from an advanced micro-helicopter used by the UK's army.They found that the micro-helicopter's blades are as efficient at hovering as the average hummingbirds.
But while the micro-helicopter's blades kept pace with the average hummingbird wings,they could not keep up with the most efficient hummingbird's wing.The wings of Anna's hummingbird were found to be about 27percent more efficient than the man-made micro-helicopter's blades.
While Professor Lentink wasn't surprised at nature's superiority,he said that helicopter blades have come a long way."The technology is at the level of an average hummingbird,"he said."A helicopter is really the most efficient hovering device that we can build.The best hummingbirds are still better,but I think it's amazing that we're getting closer.It's not easy to match their performance,but if we build better wings with better shapes,we might match hummingbirds."
Professor Lentink said that we don't know how hummingbirds maintain their flight in a strong wind,how they navigate(確定方向) through branches,or how they change direction so quickly.He thinks that great steps could be made by studying wing aspect ratios-the ratio of wing length to wing width.Understanding these abilities and characteristics could be a benefit for robotics and will be the focus of future experiments.

29.What did the scientists find about hummingbirds?C
A.Their wings are long and wide
B.They can hover in the air for a long time
C.The ratio of their wing length to wing width is very important
D.They are the most energetic flier in nature
30.Which is the right order of Professor Lentink's research?D
①Tested wings from different species of hummingbirds
②Got resources from museums
③Analyzed the results and drew a conclusion
④Tested the blades from a micro-helicopter
A.①②③④
B.②①③④
C.②④①③
D.②①④③
31.According to Professor Lentink,what will be the focus of future experiments?D
A.To know how hummingbirds can fly in a strong wind
B.To know how hummingbirds change direction so quickly
C.To develop a new kind of helicopter
D.To study the secrets of hummingbirds.

13.My love for dogs goes as far back as my first memory.As a little girl,I collected dog toys.At 5years old,I was ready and willing to run away with the family dog after the threat of giving him away when he chewed up the sofa.Luckily he stayed and my affection for man's best friend continued.As an adult,my reasons for wanting to adopt a dog were purely selfish.I wanted a companion.I wanted a young,energetic dog that would need long walks or runs to help keep me active to stick to an exercise routine.
Little did I know that my four-legged friend and love for dogs would help me feel more at home in and fall in love with my Shanghai community.It seemed to me that being a tall blonde(金發(fā)女子)didn't already attract a lot of curious stares; and a 12-kilogram black dog that believes everyone is his best friend seemed even more intrigued.The decision to adopt Xiao Hei definitely fulfilled those early selfish desires,but the experience has also brought me closer to my neighbors and made me feel more at home.
A few months after I first brought Xiao Hei home,I spotted the group of elderly Chinese people who gather at the park.After realizing they go there most weeknights,I decided it would be a good way to help Xiao Hei socialize with other dogs.After a few visits,it was not only an opportunity for him to play but also a chance for me to practice my Chinese."Most Chinese give their dogs English names,but you've given him a Chinese name.Very interesting,"they laughed.With that simple laugh,it seemed that barriers were broken and with each visit I felt more a part of the community.

24.Why did the author want to adopt a dog?C
A.To practice Chinese.
B.To understand Chinese culture.
C.To find a companion.

  A.Confused.
B.Interested.
C.Satisfied.
D.Frightened.
27.What can be inferred from the text?A

20.China Merchants Bank Co Ltd has teamed up with ride-hailing major Didi Kuaidi to provide automobile financing and expand its reach in China's booming mobile payment industry.
The two have inked a comprehensive partnership,which includes a strategic investment by the former in the latter.Under the partnership,CMB will become the first bricks-and-mortar bank that can offer in-app credit card payments to Didi users.At present,users of Didi can only choose third-party payment solutions like WeChat Payment and Alipay to pay cab fares.
Zhao Ju,vice-president of CMB,said the cooperation with Didi was an important step in its mobile Internet finance strategy."CMB's mobile payment is going to enter a new chapter by leveraging Didi Kuaidi's vast user base,"he said.
According to a report by China Internet Network Information Center earlier this month,Didi holds 87.2percent of China's private car hailing market.The company said it has received 1.43 billion car-hailing requests on its platforms in 2015,which means 1.43billion payments were made via smartphones.
CMB is expected to use Didi to reach the core users of China's mobile payment market.Jean Liu,president of Didi,said many of the expats prefer payment by credit card rather than Alipay or WeChat."The new partnership will help improve service quality and customer loyalty,"she said.The investment makes CMB part of Didi's existing investors,including Tencent Holdings Ltd,Alibaba Group Holding Ltd and China Investment Corporation.Both of the companies declined to reveal the actual amount of the investment.
Liu,who showed up on Tuesday for the first time in public after her treatment for breast cancer,said the cooperation with CMB is for the long run and"the capital investment is only part of it".
Under the partnership,CMB and Didi will cooperate on a wide range of initiatives on financial services and online-to-offline cooperation.Apart from the in-app credit card payments,the two companies are going to launch joint credit cards in late February and automobile financing services for Didi's car owners.CMB's branches across China are expected to help Didi recruit more drivers.
"There is a lot of room for imagination in our partnership,"Li said,adding in future people may use their CMB credit card reward points to pay for the ride on Didi.
Li Chao,an analyst with iResearch Consulting Group,said the partnership may not significantly boost CMB's mobile payment business."Didi has educated the market for three years and its customers have formed the habit of paying by WeChat or Alipay.So I think CMB can only turn a very smart proportion of Didi users into its payment customer,"he said."But the move shows that China's traditional banking industry is finally thinking out of the box and looking for outside partners in Internet finance competition,"he said.
Statistics from Big-Data Research showed that more than 90 percent of China''9.3 trillion yuan ($1.41 trillion) worth of third party mobile payment market is donated by Alibaba and Tencent.

32.Which of the following is not the purpose of CMB's cooperation with Didi.D
A.CMB is expected to use Didi to reach the core users of China's mobile payment market
B.Through the cooperation with Didi,CMB will help improve service quality and customer loyalty
C.CMB will launch joint credit cards with Didi to expand its service
D.CMB will turn a very large proportion of Didi users into its payment customer
33.What can be inferred from the passage?B
A.CMB's mobile payment is going to enter a new chapter
B.China's traditional banking industry is facing fierce Internet finance competition
C.CMB and Didi will have a online-to-offline cooperation
D.The majority of Didi users will pay by CMB in-app credit card

17.Making Peace with Your Parents
As a teen,you're going through big changes physically and mentally.Your interests are increasing.(36)F Here is the challenge:Kids need to explore the world in new ways,and parents need to protect them from the dangers that are all out in that world.These conflicts can easily set off fireworks in otherwise calm houses.Sometimes conflicts can't be avoided.But by paying attention to the building blocks of successful relationships,you can work towards making home a happy and healthy place for you and your parents.
For instance,try to find a time to talk when your parents are not angry,tired,distracted or hungry.A good time to talk is when you're all relaxed.Timing is everything.If the conversation begins to turn into an argument,you'd better calmly and coolly ask to stop the conversation for now.(37)BListen to what your parents are saying,and repeat it back to them.This shows them that you're listening.(38)A.Respect is the building block of good communication.People who respect each other and care about each others'feelings can disagree without getting things ugly.(39)EHow do you build trust?Trust comes by actually doing what you say you're going to do.Some teens find that doing fun activities with their parents can improve their relationships.Sometimes we forget that parents are more than rule-maker-they're interestingpeople who like to watch movies and go shopping-just like their teenagers!
What do you do if you are trying your best,but your relationship with your parents continues to be rocky?(40)G You can find supportive adults,such as a teacher or a coach,who can lend an ear.Remember you can only change your own behavior.Your parents are the only ones who can change theirs.
