24、

With Alipay and WeChat, cashless (无 现 金 的) payments are nothing new. Now, China is going further by encouraging more people to use digital (数字的) yuan or e-CNY, a digital currency (货币).

Jiangsu province will encourage the use of e-CNY in its education system, according to a recent plan by the Jiangsu Education Department. By December of this year students in Jiangsu will probably pay tuition fees (学费), exam fees and receive scholarships (奖学金) in e-CNY. To use e-CNY, people just need to download (下载) the e-CNY app and open an account (账户).

“The functions (功能) of e-CNY are exactly the same as those of the paper currency, except that the former is digital,” Mu Changchun, director of the People’s Bank of China’s Digital Currency Research Institute, told China Daily.

But e-CNY is much safer compared to Alipay and WeChat payment. E-commerce (电子商务) platforms that accept payments by e-CNY will not have access to users’ personal information. “Users’ privacy protection with e-CNY is at the highest level among all existing payment tools,” said Mu.

In addition, “the use of e-CNY can reduce transaction (交易) costs for smaller businesses,” said Zhou Maohua who works at China Everbright Bank. At present, third-party payment platforms such as Alipay and WeChat ask for certain fees when money is transferred (转账) through them. E-CNY payment, however, can transfer money directly from buyers to sellers, which will greatly reduce transaction costs.

E-CNY has been trialed (试点) in 17 provinces and cities, such as Suzhou, Shenzhen and Chengdu. China is still working to expand (扩大) its usage in more areas.

【1】At the very beginning of the passage, Alipay and WeChat are mentioned to ________.

A．give examples

B．introduce the background

C．list numbers

D．surprise the readers

【2】What can the students do by e-CNY?

A．Get scholarships.

B．Open an account.

C．Download the e-CNY app.

D．Pay all fees.

【3】What’s the advantage of digital yuan according to the passage?

A．The functions are more than those of Alipay and WeChat payment.

B．Digital yuan is much safer than any other payment tool.

C．17 provinces will use digital yuan instead of Alipay and WeChat payment.

D．It will greatly protect users’ personal information by digital yuan.

【4】What is mentioned in paragraph 5?

A．The safety protection about e-CNY.

B．The disadvantages of e-CNY.

C．The transaction costs about e-CNY.

D．The popularity of e-CNY.

【5】The writer’s writing purpose is to ________.

A．create greater business opportunities

B．call on people to use digital yuan

25、Franz Kafka was a famous writer. He never married and had no children. Once, at the age of 40, when Kafka was walking through a park, he saw a young girl crying. She lost her favorite doll.

He helped her look for the doll, but they couldn’t find it. Kafka told her to meet him there the next day and they would look for it again.

The next day, when they still didn’t find the doll, Kafka gave the girl a letter “written” by the doll that said, “Please don’t cry. I have gone on a trip to see the world. I’m going to write to you about my adventures (历险经历).”

Thus a story that continued to the end of Kafka’s life began.

When they met every time, Kafka read aloud the letters (which he had written, of course) of adventures that the girl found exciting. Finally, Kafka read her a letter in which the doll said it had finally returned to Berlin. Then, he gave her a doll that he had bought.

“This does not look like my doll at all,” she said. Kafka handed her another letter that said, “It is my trips that have changed me.” The girl took the doll home happily. A year later, Kafka died.

Many years later, the girl found a letter hidden inside the doll. It said, “Everything you love is very likely to be lost, but in the end, love will return in a different way.”

26、When it comes to the purpose of a piece of writing, the answers are different according to what kind of writing it is. News tells people what’s going on around the world.

27、As little children, most of us were taught the virtue (美德) of honesty from stories. The well-known story of Pinocchio (匹诺曹) teaches the importance of telling the truth. Every time Pinocchio lies, his nose grows longer and longer. Another story is about the boy who “cried wolf”. In the end, he loses all his sheep and the trust of the people of his village because he tells lies many times. These types of stories show children that “honesty is the best policy”. Still, if this is the case, then why do so many people lie? The fact is that people lie for many reasons.

One reason people lie is to minimize (减少) a mistake. While it is true that everyone does something wrong from time to time, some people do not have the courage to admit their mistakes because they are afraid they will be blamed. For example, students might lie to their teachers about unfinished homework. They might say that they left the work at home when, in fact, they did not do the work at all. These students do not want to get in trouble or seem irresponsible, so they make up an excuse—a lie—to save face.

Another reason for lying has to do with self-protection. Parents, especially those with young children, may teach their children to use this type of “protective” lie in certain situation. What should children do if a stranger calls while the parents are out? Many parents teach their children to explain that their mother and father are too busy to come to the phone at that time. In this situation, protective lying can mean greater safety.

People lie for many reasons, both good and bad. Lying to keep the peace or to stay safe can have positive results. However, lying to stay out of trouble can lead to more trouble in the end. Understanding the motives behind the impulse (冲动) to lie might minimize this habit of lying.

【1】What does the underlined word “this” in Paragraph 1 refer to?

A．Honesty is the best policy.

B．The well-known story of Pinocchio.

C．Honesty is the most important.

D．The story of the boy who “cried wolf”.

【2】According to Paragraph 2, how does the writer explain why people tell lies?

A．By asking questions.

B．By giving examples.

C．By showing the results.

D．By listing advantages.

【3】What is the correct structure of the passage? (P1 = paragraph 1)

A．

B．

C．

D．

【4】What is the best title for the passage?

A．The Types of Lies.

B．The Habit of Lying.

C．The Reasons Behind Lying.

D．The Ways to Lie.

28、   Everybody wants success. Some people work hard at it, others just talk 【1】 it. There are many successful people around us, so we all know what success looks like. Sometimes it just 【2】 (seem) like something too far to get.

But the truth is that success is 【3】 (close) than you think. It's just over there. You must want it enough, and be willing to(愿意)get it.

Success has no excuses. If you have a reason that you can't make it, you'll not be 【4】 (success). Success comes after many failures. Not e【5】 is suitable for you, even if it's fit for others. What we need to do is to let the failures become our 【6】 (teach). Then we can learn something 【7】 them.

Success is like a ladder(梯子). You need to climb it. But it's not an escalator. You can't just stand there and let it 【8】 (do) the work for you. You must do the work 【9】 (you). Sometimes it will be 【10】, other times it'll be difficult. It's necessary for you to keep climbing. Just start, you'll be on the way to success.
