A news report.BSharing E Umbrella,a new umbrella sharing company based in Shenzhen, China, recently announcedthat it had lost most of the 300, 000 umbrellas since it was set up.China's sharing economy has been growing rapidly, with companies offering anything from bicycles and basketballs to phone batteries for people to rent. Customers make a small deposit（押金）and get to use the thing for a daily cost, with a fine put in place for every day if they fail to return the product in time. It's a simple business model, and market data shows that people see sharing as a cheap and convenient way to cut down waste.Zhao Shuping founded the Sharing E Umbrella, an umbrella sharing service, in April. By the end of June, he had already started in 11 major Chinese cities, including Shanghai, Nanjing and Guangzhou. While picking up the umbrellas wasrelatively simple, as they were made available（可得到的）at bus and subway stations, the return system turned out to be a different matter. "Umbrellas are different from bicycles, "Mr. Zhao told Chinese news site . "Bikes can be parked anywhere, but with an umbrella you need something to hang it on. "So instead of bothering to return the umbrellas back to a station, a lot of people just took them home, and Sharing E Umbrella has reportedly lost track of most of the 300,000 umbrellas. Considering that borrowing umbrellas requires a 19 yuan deposit, with a fee of 0.50 yuan per half an hour usage, Zhao says that he suffers a loss of 60 yuan per lost umbrella, so the company is now in the red, but he is not ready to stop it just yet. Zhao announces that Sharing E Umbrella still plans to roll out（推出）30 million nationwide by the end of the year. 24. What do we knowabout Sharing E Umbrella？A. It makes peoplelearn to help each other.B. It needs peopleto make a small depositfirst.C. It developedfaster in the westerncountries.D. It produces more waste and causes disorder.25. What problem didSharing E Umbrella meetafter it was founded？A. The company hadno money to produceumbrellas.B. Umbrellas are not allowed to hang anywhere.C. Lots of customersdidn't give the umbrellasback.D. People refuse topay deposit for theumbrellas.26. How much did his company lose if an umbrellawas lost？A. 0.5 yuan.B.19 yuan.C. 60 yuan.D.120 yuan.27. We can inferfrom the last paragraph.thatA. Zhao has found away to get the umbrellasbackB. Zhao willcontinue his umbrellasharing service C. Most of Zhao's companies have been closedD. Sharing E Umbrella is a failure forZhao.C“A good book might clarify something you knew little about, transform your world view, or move you in ways you didn’t think possible. The Soul of an Octopus(章鱼)delivers on all three, ”the magazine New Scientist commented.After writing about birds, pigs and tigers, US naturalist Sy Montgomery decided to choose these many-footed animals as the subject of her latest book, The Soul of an Octopus: a surprising exploration into the wonder of consciousness.“Here is animal with poisonous liquid like a snake，a beak(喙)like a parrot，and ink like an old-fashioned pen. It can weigh as much as a man and extend as long as a car, yet it can pour its baggy; boneless body through anopening the size of all orange. It can change color and shape. It has a tongue covered with teeth. It can taste with its skin.”Montgomery explained to the National Geographic on why octopuses inspired her.What Montgomery is able to show in The Soul of an Octopus is that octopuses are creatures who exhibit personality, intelligence and emotion, despite having nervous systems completely different from our own. She uses different experiments to show that they possess consciousness as well as individual personalities. For example, based on her research, she finds out that Octavia, an octopus caught in the wild, is friendly and good at multi-tasking. And Kali, another octopus，who has been living at the New England Aquarium, is playful and loves exploring.Montgomery is a good storyteller. Through her study of, and communication with, these extraordinary creatures she shares what she learns from both science and her experiences. Her skillful writing presents facts together with personal description, which makes the book very informative but easy to read.28. Why is The Soulof an Octopus thoughthighly of ?A. It is themed witha many-footed animal.B. It mainly explores consciousness andwonders.C. It compares octopuses with birds, pigsand tigers.D. It offers new knowledge and changes yourviewpoints.29. Octopuses impress Montgomery greatlybecause.A. they have uniquephysical functioning B. their liquid canbe used as good ink C. they behave morelike snakes and parrots D. their body can be shrunk to the size of anorange30. What doesMontgomery think of octopuses according toParagraph 4?A. They are friendlywith each other.B. They are similarto humans in a way.C. They communicatewith humans well.D. They havedifferent nature fromhumans.31. Which of the following best describesthe book?A. Vivid but unreal.B. Scientific andreadable.C. Boring andridiculous. D. Interesting but fictionalDBack in 1969, it was the Apollo 11 crew who flew to the moon in a spaceship. When U.S. astronauts Neil Armstrong and Edwin “Buzz”Aldrin stepped foot on the moon, they were the first. Meanwhile, their fellow astronaut Michael Coilins circled the moon in their spaceship, named Columbia.When Armstrong and Aldrin were done with their walk，they returned to the command module, and back to Earth. That part of thespaceship is on view at the Smithsonian’s Air and Space Museum in Washington, D.C. But, if you cannot get to Washington，soon you will be able to see Columbia on your computer or your smartphone.Digital scientists are scanning the inside of the spaceship. They are creating an online model, in three dimensions, or“3 D”. By looking at these photographs, you will be able to see outer space，the way the astronauts did. It will be like sitting in their seats.Want your very own Columbia spaceship? You will be able to print a 3D copy of Columbia. Experts say anyone can make a life-sized model. But they expect most people to make smaller models of the 320×400 cm(11’X 13’)command module.Scientists are using special 3D technology to scan the inside. They use cameras on long arms to take the photographs. The thousands of photographs taken will be combined with 50 laser scans.What would it be like to sit inside Columbia and take a look around? All the images will be loaded into software that allows you to look around the module on a computer screen. The user will be able to see the Columbia both inside and out. The Smithsonian says that the 3D technology gives the user ways to see things they cannot see at the museum. And it will give information that even the museum curators(馆长)have not seen before.“With the CommandModule, no one has been inside since it came into the collection,”says Adam Metallo. Smithsonian 3D imaging specialist. “Now the information we capture can give anyone in the world a view of what it looks like inside this incredible piece of history.”32.

从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。
AWhile CCTV’s educational show Animal World is well known, few bigscreen wildlife documentaries have been made by China’s film industry.But Born in China, which came out on Aug 2, may be important forChinese filmmakers who want to get into nature -themed films. The movie,directed by Chinese filmmaker Lu Chuan, was shot in the Qinghai-Tibet Plateauand shows the animals’ lives during different seasons.Born in China not only brings to audiences the lives of animals that arerarely seen in the wild—giant pandas, snow leopards, and golden monkeys, butalso shows Chinese traditional culture.A symbol of China, the giant panda is both black and white. Its body isthought to show yin and yang, which ancient Chinese ideas were based on. The panda’s gentle nature shows how yin and yang lead to peace. It can be seen in the film when a panda mother guides her baby to look for independence and explore the world.Unlike the shy pandas, monkeys always have strong personalities. The Monkey King in China’s most famous novel Journey to the West has many conflicting traits(特点). It stands for not only impatience but also cleverness and energy. Born in China follows a 2-year-old golden monkey who leaves his family, but then returns and understands the meaning of responsibility.Just as the golden monkey, a mother snow leopard also faces difficulty in raising her babies in the wild. The leopards, known for their rapid attacks and quick footwork(脚步), have inspired a form of pictographic(象形拳) in Shaolin martial arts(武术).“Born in China is a means to sh ow off Chinese traditional culture,” director Lu told the reporter. “Chinese people have learned a lot from wild animals since ancient times. This is why I shot this nature -themed documentary.”21. How is Born in China special according to the article?A. It shows Chinese traditional culture through the lives of animals.B. It’s considered the best nature-themed film to come out of China.C. It’s the first big screen wildlife documentary ever made in China.D. It shows audiences the lives of rare animals.22. We can learn from the article that in Born in China, _______.A. the story of the giant pandas shows the importance of exploring the worldB. the story of the golden monkeys was inspired by the Monkey KingC. the stories show how animals grow up to be independentD. the story about snow leopards shows what people can learn from animals23. What may be the best title for the text?A. The stories of 3 animal familiesB. Symbols of ChinaC. Wildlife born in ChinaD. Nature shows cultureBOne advantage of the Internet is shopping conveniently online for clothes; one disadvantage of the Internet is also shopping conveniently online for clothes.“Nothing fits,” said Lam Yuk Wong, a senior in electrical and computer engineering at Rice University. “Everyone s ays this. They order clothes and they don’t fit. People get very unhappy.”Wong and her design partner, Xuaner “Cecilia” Zhang, are Team White Mirror, creators of what they call a “virtua l (虚拟)fitting room”. Their goal is simple and consumer-friendly: to let online clothing shoppers have a perfect fit and a perfect look when shopping every time. Both women are from China, Wong from Hong Kong and Zhang from Beijing. They both order most of their clothing online. They got the idea from their own experience as consumers and from listening to the complaints of friends and relatives. “They say, ‘The color is wrong’ or ‘I got the right size but it still does not fit.’ We want to make it like you’re in the store trying on the clothes,” Zhang said.Using a Kinect developed by Microsoft for use with its Xbox 360 video game player, Zhang scans Wong and turns her image into, in effect, a virtual model, keeping Wong’s dimensions (尺寸), and even her skin and hair color. “We put the clothes on the shopper’s 3-D body models and show how they look when they are dressed,” Wong said. So far, Wong and Zhang have adapted the software to show dresses and shirts, and they are now working on shorts.Asked if she thought men as well as women might be interested in using their virtual fitting room, Wong said, “I think their wives will care about this, so it will also be important to men.”24. Why is shopping conveniently online for clothes a disadvantage?A. Students may easily get addicted to it.B. Clothes bought online may not fit.C. It attracts more online clothing shoppers.D. It causes shoppers to waste too much money.25.Wong and Zhang got the idea to design a virtual fitting room from ____.A. their shopping experiencesB. a program at their universityC. some shop-owners’ complaintsD. the Xbox 360 video game player26.Which of the following shows the process of using the virtual fitting room?A. scanning -- trying on clothes -- getting imagesB. trying on clothes -- getting models -- scanningC. scanning -- getting models --trying on clothesD. trying on clothes -- getting images -- scanning27.What did Wong think of her virtual fitting room?A. It is perfectly developed.B. It will have its market share.C. It is limited to women shoppers.D. It is like a kind of video game player.CReader:For six years, I’ve run an office that has two employees: me and my boss. He used to be so appreciative that I didn’t mind doing a little extra, but about two month s ago, he started being rude and demanding. Now he even yells when I don’t have time to bring his favorite wine to his home after work.This change started when we met a wealthy new customer, who is a huge jerk (古怪的人) -- my boss’s new behavior is just like his.My boss is a good man; he and his family have treated me like a little sister. Is there a good way to discuss this with him?Karla: Sounds like your new customer has set a bad example to your boss. You ne ed to remind your boss that you’re in his corner-- but you’re not his slave. My suggestions are as follows.Start with a simple question in a calm moment: “Is everything okay?”State the truth: “Until recently, I’ve felt like a valued teammate. But our rel ationship has become tense. Your expectations of me seem to have changed. Although I used to do occasional personal businesses for you as a favor, now it seems expected.”Draw your lines: “If you think my job description needs to change or my performance is not good enough, let’s discuss that. Otherwise, I need you to stop yelling at me and to respect my personal time.”Ideally, you’ll get an apology and a promise to do better. After that, it’s a matter of reinforcement (加强) . If he starts yelling, look at him with a calm expression. After he cools down, restate his request and add, “Is that correct?” For the unreasonable request, such as fetching his favorite wine after work: “I’m afraid I can’t take care of that for you.” If he keeps acting like a jerk, there are bosses out there who will better respect your time and talent.Karla L.

But 50 percent said they left because they were dissatisfied with their employment situation, such as poor working conditions, student discipline problems and large class sizes. Thus, taking immediate measures to improve it is our top priority.For years, researchers have proved the benefits of increasing the share of minority teachers in schools, especially as our public school system has turned to one that is made up mostly of minority students. Teachers of color, who are more likely than their white counterparts to choose to work in racially diverse(多种多样的) schools, offer particular benefits to their students. Graduation rates increase among minority students when they are taught by racially similar educators, research shows. They can also serve as positive role models, and their presence reduces the chance of racial discrimination at school.The Shanker Institute report suggests that the rate of minority teacher hiring is not the whole problem. The problem is what happens after these teachers enter the classroom. These teachers often work in high-poverty rural schools. They are more likely to have less-desirable working conditions.Diversity is a key component to equality and opportunity. Where there’s a diverse teaching workforce, all kids thrive. So solutions must be found at once to turn this trend around. Firstly, schools should develop mentorship programs that support minority teachers once they are in the classroom. Secondly, more money should be spent in improving working conditions in these schools. Of course, school headmasters should also be evaluated on their ability to retain teachers of color.32.

How did the author feel when writing the passage?A. He felt angry about the government.B. He was satisfied with the present situation.C. He felt it urgent to solve the problem.D.
