Crowdfunding is when a per-son or business gets many small payments from a large number of people. Usually, the way to do this is to use the Internet. In-stead of trying to get a few people to give thousands of dollars, you get hundreds of people, maybe thousands, to give a few dollars. But this is still not easy. You want people to see the value of your idea. How will you get them to give the dollars they earn to you?*Successful projects are those that got the money they wanted.There are websites that make this opportunity possible. Kickstarter and GoGet-Funding are popular. You create a short video to explain your project. The most important part is getting your message across. Just because you’ve made your idea known doesn’t mean you will get the mone y you need. You still need to sell your idea. Many people begin by explaining what the product is and then telling why people need it. For example, one of the most popular crowdfunded products is a watch. The Pebble watch connects with in-formation on a smartphone that will send information to the watch.More than 65,000 people gave money for this product.Crowdfunding raised $10.3 million for it.However, it’s not just products that people use crowdfunding for. People use it for their music, film, art, or writing projects.Projects usually get from 25 to 40 per-cent of their money from crowdfunding sites. Who is giving all the money? When people need money, they often ask their friends and family. Crowdfunding often works the same way, but once you create your video and message, your friends share it with their friends. If you’ve created a message that people can connect to, you get many more people to give. Why do these people give? First, there is the “feel-good” factor. Giving money makes people feel good. Second, many small businesses offer rewards to people. Third, sometimes the reward is simply getting to use the product. And this is part of the success of crowdfunding. You could make a difference.6. Where do people usually get crowdfunding?A．In newspapers. B．On the Internet.C．On the streets. D．In shopping centers.7. Which project type is the least successful according to the Bar Graph?A．Art. B．Music. C．Publishing. D．Film and video.8.

Today, this waterway is shorter than it once was, but it is still the longest man-made river in the world. Importantly, the Grand Canal continues to provide a significant cultural and economic link for modern China.The original canal system began around the year 605. China’s Emperor Yang realized that he needed a better way to move food quickly to his army from China’s southern rice-growing region to the country’s north. So about one million people-mostly farmers-worked on the construction of the first section of the Grand Canal, which took six years.Over the next 500 ye ars, the canal’s importance grew. However, by 1127 , parts had begun to deteriorate. In 1279, Kublai Khan began to repair and build new parts of the canal, which created a more direct north-south route to and from Beijing. Future rulers continued to expand and improve the waterway, and it eventually became an important national lifeline.In addition to moving rice around China, the Grand Canal was an important cultural connection. Soldiers, businessmen,and artists transported ideas, regional foods, and cultural practices from one part of China to another. According to ancient stories, this is how Beijing acquired two of its best-known trademarks. Peking duck,a dish from Shandong Province, and the Peking opera, from Anhui and Hubei regions,were both brought north by the canal.For more than a thousand years, goods have been transported along the Grand Canal.Even today, the country’s watery highway plays an important economic role in China. Boats continue to carry tons of goods. In addition, local governments-eager to in-crease tourism and real estate (房地产) development-are beautifying areas along the canal.In 2005, a group of citizens proposed that the historic Grand Canal be made a UNESCO World Heritage Site. It was officially granted (批准) in 2014. The hope now is that the Grand Canal-one of the world’s great engineering achievements -will continue to link north and south China for centuries to come.11. Why was the Grand Canal originally built?A．To enable more people to visit distant parts of China.B．To allow the army to move quickly from the north to the south.C．To promote the cultural and traditional connection of south China.D．To transport food from the southern regions of China to the north.12. What is NOT true about the Grand Canal?A．It took six years to complete its first section.B．Even today, it is the longest man-made river in the world.C．Around a million people worked on the first part of the canal.D．It allowed Peking duck and the Peking opera to spread to southern China.13. What does the uderlined word “deteriorate” probably mean in Paragraph 3?A．Get worse. B．Get destroyed. C．Get shorter. D．Get repaired. 14. What might be the best heading for Paragraph 4?A．Renewed Importance. B．Cultural Connections.C．The Army’s Highway.D．The Origins of the Peking Opera.15. What happened to the Grand Canal in 2014?A．Construction of the Canal began.B．New parts of the Canal were built.C．The Grand Canal became a World Heritage Site.D．The Grand Canal was proposed as a UNESCO Heritage Site.二、七选五Don’t get me wrong-I love my parents very much. I know they love me too and would do anything to help me but sometimes they can be really embarrassing. Dad wanting to pick me up from school, Mum getting overexcited when she watches me playing football for the school team. 16 . My friends all complain about theirs from time to time. It seems a few cruel parents want to see their kids suffer on purpose, but others are just trying to be cool and fit in with our friends. There’s not really mu ch we can do about it, or is there? Here are a few tips I’ve come up with to make life just a little easier for all of us.Choose the behaviour you find most embarrassing17 . And then put them in order. Is the fact that your dad sings along to the radio when your friends are over for dinner worse than the fact that he always calls your best friend by the wrong name? By deciding which ones are worse means you’ll be free to focus your energy where you need it most.18When you’ve decided which issues you want to talk about, keep a diary of all the times your mum or dad do the things that embarrass you most. When, where and how you felt - make a note of all these things. They’ll help you put your case across.Have a family meetingIt’s time for a little face-to-face chat.The chances are that even if your parents are aware of doing these things, they prob-ably don’t realize how embarrassing they are. Keep calm. 19 . Let them have their say —they’ll probably want to defend themselves. Of cou rse, you’ll also have to be prepared to listen to some of the things that they don’t like about you. It’s part of the deal.Try and be more understandingHopefully your parents will listen and be willing to change their ways, especially if you say you’re h appy to change too. Of course, sometimes they might not. Re-member that they once had their own embarrassing parents, and the chances are many of us will be embarrassing parents ourselves one day. 20 .A．Discuss the issuesB．Collect the evidenceC．And I know it’s not just meD．Let them know how you feel and whyE．Maybe we shouldn’t be too hard on themF．Write down the things that you feel happyG．Write a list of all the things you find embarrassing三、完形填空The joys of getting lostMost of us like to know where we are and where we’re going. It canfeel_________to be lost. The words “being lost” make us_________a dark wood, or a dark city street: threatening and scary.
