21、Electronic heroes

As an internet influencer, there seems to be nothing special about Miquela Sousa. The 19-year-old lives in Los Angeles, US, posts pictures of herself sporting fashionable looks, and has just made her way into the March edition of Vogue magazine. But Miquela isn't real – she is a computer-generated character.

Her fans don't seem to mind – she has 855,000 followers on US social networking platform Instagram. And her first single Not Mine – yes, she 'sings' too – also reached No. 8 on music streaming (流媒体) platform Spotify last August.

It's kind of curious that in a time when authenticity (真实性) and 'being real' are valued more than ever, 'fake' celebrities like Miquela are appreciated and seen as icons (偶像).

Perhaps the reason for Miquela's popularity lies behind the fame of a similar star, Hatsune Miku. This 16-year-old animated singer from Japan has held singing concerts not only in her home country but also in the US and China.

Even though Hatsune's no more than a 3-D figure projected (投射) onto the stage, her fans are more than willing to pay to actually see her 'in person', because to them, she's better than human singers. 'She's rather more like a goddess: She has human parts, but she transcends (超越) human limitations. She's the great post-human pop star, ' wrote reporter James Verini on Wired magazine.

Critics may say that 3-D stars could never replace the authenticity of humans, but when it comes to being authentic, are humans really the best example of how to do it? Most of us edit our photos before posting them online, and we tend to create a fantasy that we're living a perfect life by letting people only see the brighter side of it.

'Miquela is no less real to me than any other internet stranger with whom I've interacted (互动), ' wrote reporter Leora Yashari on the website Nylon. “Her existence in itself represents a new breed (种类) of influencer – someone who is breaking the boundaries (界限) of what is real and what is fake. '

【1】Who is Miquela Sousa?

A.She's a life-like character with musical talents.

B.She's a new sports star with fashionable looks.

C.She's an experienced singer with thousands of fans.

D.She's an animated figure created by a Japanese company.

【2】Why did the author mention Hatsune Miku?

A.To show the similarities 3-D stars share.

B.To make a comparison with Miquela Sousa.

C.To explain why 3-D stars are well received.

D.To stress how 3-D stars go beyond human limitations.

【3】What can be concluded from the last two paragraphs?

A.3-D stars could match the authenticity of humans one day.

B.Animated celebrities are not as real as human celebrities.

C.Human celebrities have greater influence than animated ones.

D.3-D stars' public personalities may be just as authentic as humans'.

22、Searching for airfares（飞机票价） often seems like a game that passengers are bound to lose．

Prices change from day to day, even minute to minute． Looking through multiple websites for the best deal can be a big challenge． Even when you do book, there’s no guarantee that you are going to get the best price．

"You just don’t know when to pull the trigger． It’s not like buying anything else I can think of,” said George Hobica, founder of Airfarewatchdog．com．

Harriet Levy paid $179 for a recent round-trip flight on American Airlines between New York and Fort Lauderdale, Florida． Sitting just one row behind her, Shirley Harrison paid $215． A few rows back, Ellis and Dianne Traub paid $317 each．There were at least 12 fares on the flight, ranging from $169 to $360．

There’s no reason for it, Harrison said．

Fares can change significantly in just a few hours． One Delta flight from New York to Los Angeles jumped from $755 to $1,143 from a Friday to Saturday in late April, then fell to $718 0n Sunday．

The flight was one of a dozen the Associated Press followed over three months for a vacation between July 16 and 22． The number one finding: avoid booking tickets on weekends． It’s the most expensive time to buy．

There’s no way to guarantee the best fare． But before booking, travelers should pay attention to this additional advice:

Book on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday． That’s when airlines most often offer sales．

Buy in advance, but not too early． The best time is four to six weeks before traveling． In general, prices for any given flight are highest eight to ten weeks and two to three weeks in advance．

Make use of social media． Airlines are giving more benefits like exclusive（独有的 ） sales to travelers who interact with them on Twitter and Facebook． Those specials are often gone within hours．

The so-called discount airlines - JetBlue, Air-Tran, Southwest and Frontier-adjust their fares less frequently than other airlines, so you can feel more confident that the price will stay the same． But their prices aren’t always the lowest．Researching multiple airlines’ fares is the only way to get a good deal．

【1】What can we infer from the first sentence of the text?

A．Passengers are unable to search for airfares．

B．Airlines often play games with passengers．

C．Airfares are set in different situations．

D．It’s difficult for passengers to get the best price．

【2】The underlined phrase "pull the trigger" in Paragraph 3 probably means ________.

A．start searching B．get the highest price

C．make a purchase   D．get on board the plane

【3】By using a lot of figures, the author intends to ________.

A．show there is standard price for every single airline

B．discover the rules behind airfares

C．guarantee passengers a low price

D．prove airfares can vary widely

【4】Passengers are advised to book flights ________.

A．in the middle of the week

B．on special websites

C．several months before traveling

D．with airlines which are famous for offering discount prices

23、Time Travel

If you could travel in time where would you go? Perhaps you would watch an original performance of a Shakespeare’s play in Elizabethan England? What about hanging out with Laozi in the Spring and Autumn Period? Or maybe you’d voyage far ahead of the present day to see what the future holds.

The possibility of time travel is indeed appealing. Stories exploring the subject have been around for hundreds of years. Perhaps the best known example is science fiction novel The Time Machine, which was written by H. G. Wells and published in 1895 for the first time. It was adapted into at least two feature films of the same name, as well as two television versions, and a large number of comic book adaptations. It is generally credited with the popularization of the concept of time travel using a vehicle that allows an operator to travel purposefully and selectively. The term “time machine”, coined by Wells, is now universally used to refer to a vehicle transporting people into the far future.

But could time travel actually be possible? Some scientists say yes, in theory. They propose using cracks in time and space called “wormholes”, which could be used as shortcuts to other periods. Einstein’s theory of relativity allows time travel in extreme circumstances. And British physicist Stephen Hawking says you could travel into the future with a rally fast spaceship-going at nearly the speed of light. Though building such a spaceship would of course be no simple task.

Even if you could travel into the past, there is something called the “grandfather paradox”. It asks what would happen if a time traveler were to go back in time and have his own grandfather killed for some reason, and therefore prevent himself from being born. If the time traveler wasn’t born, how would he travel back in time?

And would you really like to visit the future? In H. G. Well’s book, the main character travels into distant time where he arrives at a beach and is attacked by giant crabs. He then voyages 30 million years into the future where the only living thing is a black object with tentacles.

If that’s what’s in store, maybe we are better just living in the present day after all.

【1】The novel The Time Machine mentioned in Paragraph 2 aims to show ________.

A．the contribution of H. G. Wells

B．the story’s different features

C．the long history of time travel

D．people’s interest in time travel

【2】Einstein’s and Hawking’s theories ________.

A．suggest the possibility to invent the time machine

B．encourage the invention of the first spaceship

C．have proved wrong by some time travelers

D．have similarities in many ways

【3】In Paragraph 4, “grandfather paradox” probably refers to the idea that .

A．the traveler is prevented from meeting his grandfather

B．the grandfather’s death makes the traveler’s birth impossible

C．the traveler goes back in time to seek for his grandfather

D．The reunion of the traveler and his grandfather brings happiness

【4】According to the passage, what is probably the author’s attitude towards time travel?

A．Skeptical.

B．Unclear.

C．Supportive.

D．Unconcerned.

24、Fund Tianhong Zenglibao has become the first fund in China to hit 100 billion yuan (＄16.30 billion) of sales thanks to its cooperation with Yu’ebao, Alibaba’s wealth management product.

Alipay(支付宝), attached to the e-commerce giant Alibaba Group, announced in June it would offer its users the option to directly invest with the private Tianhong Fund using spare cash from Alipay accounts. The business is called Yu’ebao.

The past five months have seen this fund blossom, owing to the prosperous Interet e-commerce platform, and the Singles Day shopping spree on November 11 had helped Yu’ebao. In the process of a deal on Taobao, once the buyer pays for the order, his or her money is first accepted by Alipay, then after he or she receives the goods, a final confirmation is made and Alipay then gives the money to the seller. If a buyer forgets to confirm payment, the money is transferred into the seller’s account after 10 days by the system.

The Singles Day had a total volume of 35 billion yuan(＄5.75 billion) and thus a large amount of money passed through Alipay’s account. Analysts estimated that Alipay may have also bought the fund using the extra income, which powerfully enlarged the scale of Yu’ebao. Profit purchasing investors tend to choose safe financial management tools. The relatively stable yields of Yu’ebao is favored by most customers, the report said.

Chinese e-commerence giant Alibaba allows consumers to invest their spare cash in the money market funds through its Alipay online payment service. The product, called Yu’ebao, or “Leftovers Treasure,” has netted 130 billion yuan so far, making the fund’s management firm, Tianhong Fund, the country’s largest fund management company.

Meanwhile, due to the cooperation with Alipay, the management scale of Tianhong monetary fund has doubled from 55.653 billion yuan at the end of September to over 100 billion yuan. During the Singles Day, the frequency of payment of Alipay and Yu’ebao exceeded 188 million and 16.79 million with total transaction volume at 35 billion yuan and 6 billion yuan.

【1】 The fund has been successful so far mainly because ________.

A. it is the country’s largest fund management fund.

B. it was the first fund in China to cooperate with Yu’ebao.

C. consumers can directly invest the spare cash in it through online payment service.

D.The online shopping is prosperous and the Singles Day shopping makes great contribution.

A. allows sellers to invest their spare cash in the money market funds

C. has doubled to 55.653 billion yuan at the end of September

26、阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。

It was an early winter morning. Joan was sleeping soundly when the phone rang in the living room. She rolled over and glanced at the clock on the wall—it was already nine o’clock.Every weekend morning, her mother had to work part-time in the cafe. Although Joan was still sleepy, she knew she had to get up. After all, she didn’t expect her brother Mike, who was sleeping like a log, to hear the phone. She quietly went over to the living room. When she picked up the receiver, on the other end came the warmhearted greetings,“Good morning, my Dear!”Recognizing the voice from her father, Joan was immediately surrounded by a sense of joy and the sleepiness swept away.

Joan’s father was a seaman, who rarely came back. Working on the sea was really hard.Born in a not-rich family, Joan and Mike felt the stress of life but they were happy to enjoy the family atmosphere. At school, they were straight-A students throughout the academic career and actively involved in school activities. They became the pride of the school and the envy of the students.

“Good morning, Dad, what’s up?”Joan said in an easy tone.“I have been very nice recently, my baby. Today is your mother’s birthday, and I have ordered her a cake online and it should come to the house in one and half an hour. Do remember to take the cake.”

Hearing her father’s words, Joan felt a little ashamed. How she could forget Mum’s birthday!She took a glance at the dirty clothes piled on the sofa and the oily floor that hadn’t been mopped(拖地) for a few days—There was two hours before her mother came back. She calculated they had enough time to prepare a surprise for Mum.

Thinking of this, she felt full of excitement.“Well, Dad, now I’m going to wake Mike up.We will give Mum a surprise !”

Joan hung up the phone with Dad, and hurriedly went to Mike’s room to share him her Big Cleaning plan. After listening to Joan, Mike readily accepted her idea.

注意：
