21、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 87.2 percent 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 1.43 billion 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's 9.3 trillion yuan ($1.41 trillion) worth of third party mobile payment market is donated by Alibaba and Tencent.
【1】Which of the following sentences is true about Didi Kuaidi ?
A. The users of Didi can pay cab fare in cash.
B. At present, Didi holds the largest market of China's private car hailing business.
C. With several years of development, the users of Didi have abandoned the third-party payment.
D. CMB will become the most important investor of Didi.
【2】Which of the following is not the purpose of CMB’s cooperation with Didi? .

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.
【3】What can be inferred from the passage?
A. CMB's mobile payment is going to enter a new chapter.
B. China's traditional banking industry is facing fierce Internet finance competition.

22、 In 2018 to which we've just said goodbye, we've seen excellent movies such as Black Panther, Crazy Rich Asians and A Star Is Born. In 2019 there will be returns to classic movie characters and stories. Here are movies not to miss.
Spider-Man-.Far H0- July 5, US
Tom Holland, the actor of 2017's Spider-Man: Homecoming, returns to play Peter Parker, a high school student who gains superpowers after being bitten by a spider(蜘蛛).

23、 If you live in a desert, maintaining a supply of fresh water is a challenge. Even in inland deserts, though, water is often present in the air as vapour. The problem is how to obtain this vapour effectively and cheaply. And that is what the researchers of the University of Connecticut hope they have managed to do.
Whether water can be got from the air depends on the air's relative humidity(湿度). A good way to get air to give up some of its water is to cool it to the point where its relative humidity is 100%. Sometimes this happens naturally at night, causing mist and dew to form. These can be collected in special traps in areas where liquid water is rare. But if night cooling does not bring air all the way up to 100%relative humidity, building water traps out of special materials might give nature a helping hand.
Adsorption(吸附法)is a process which picks water molecules(分子)from the air that has less than 100%relative humidity by attaching them to the surface of a solid material. The molecules are held there by electrostatic connections called Van der Waals forces.
To collect a lot of water in this way requires a material that has two properties. One is a large surface area. The other is an appropriate Van der Waals response. Experimental traps that employ this principle have been made using substances called metal-organic frameworks.
These are porous(多孔的)molecular networks through which the air can circulate. Their porosity gives them a huge surface area. And by picking the right ingredients, such as zirconium, they can be given the necessary Van der Waals properties. This way works, but the technology is costly because of zirconium.
【1】How can people get water from the air?
A.By reducing the air's temperature.
B.By using any trap in inland deserts.
C.By using a kind of soft materials.
D.By reducing the air's relative humidity.
【2】What's the key when we use adsorption to collect water?
A.Enough air molecules.
B.Normal temperature.
C.Metal-organic frameworks.
D.Some experimental tools.
【3】What can we know about adsorption from the text?
A.It is easy to learn.
B.It has been used widely.
C.It is refused by experts.
D.It has a disadvantage.
【4】What may be the best title for the text?
A.Come to save water in deserts
B.Challenges of living in a desert.
C.Fresh water supply in deserts
D.The air's relative humidity in deserts.
