12.The Chinese language differs from Western languages in that,instead of an alphabet,it uses characters which stand for ideas,objects or deeds.Chinese words are formed by putting together different characters.In many cases,a single character can also make up a word.The history of the Chinese language can be examined by looking at how these characters developed.
Chinese writing began thousands of years ago.According to an ancient story,a man named Cang Jie invented Chinese writing.One winter day while he was hunting,he saw the tracks of animals in the snow and observed that the appearance of each one was different.Then he had the idea that he could use different shapes to represent different objects.The first Chinese characters were drawings of physical objects.Some characters have been simplified and others have been made more difficult over time.However,as a whole the characters have developed from drawings into standard forms.
Not all characters were developed from drawings of objects.Sometimes to express ideas,some characters were made by combining two or more characters together.Other characters were developed for directions and numbers.It is easy to distinguish their meanings by looking at them.
Though these kinds of characters indicate meanings,one of their shortcomings is that they do not show how they should be pronounced.Therefore,a method was developed to have one part of a character indicate the meaning and the other suggest the pronunciation.Many Chinese characters used today were made this way.
In the 1950s the Chinese government introduced simplified Chinese characters and now they have widespread use in China's mainland.
Brief(61 )intruductionThe Chinese language is (62 )different from western language because it uses characters to (63 )represent ideas,objects or deeds.
The origins of Chinese charactersAn idea (64 )occurredto Cangjie after he observed the tracks of animals (65 )whose appearance differed from each other in the snow.
The(66 )developments/evolutions of Chinese characters•As a whole,the characters developed from drawing into standard forms.
•Some characters were made by comining two or more characters together,whose meanings are easy to (67 )distinguish.
•Many Chinese characters consists of two parts,one (68 )indicatingthe meaning and the other suggesting the pronunciation.
•Now,Chinese characters have become much (69 )simpler and been used in china's mainland (70 )widely.

分析 本文讲述了汉字的起源与发展,以及汉字的结构与含义.传说中汉字是由仓颉发明的,并在几千年的历史中不断发展,成为古代汉字.而新中国成立后,中国政府引入了简体汉字,现在被广泛使用.

7.We all know the feeling of walking into an air-conditioned office building on a hot summer day.It's 94℉outside.It's 64℉inside.Suddenly,you need a knit sweater just to sit at your desk.I know someone who used to bring a space heater to work-in August.
Aside from being uncomfortable,this is horrifically inefficient.The low hum of the air conditioner is the sound of coal being burned and money being spent to make you miserable at work.BuildingIQ is trying to change that.Their secret weapon?Machine learning.
The company has developed cloud-based software that gathers information about a building and uses it to build a thermal model (热模型).That model can predict how much or how little energy is needed to keep the people inside comfortable by analyzing factors like indoor temperature and pressure,electricity consumption,the
weather forecast,the price of electricity,and therefore tailors heating and air conditioning for maximum energy efficiency.
Thanks to a recent cooperation,BuildingIQ will soon take human preferences into account.Changes to heating and air conditioning are always influenced by the limits of human comfort,and those limits vary from person to person.This data will be added into the thermal model.Imagine a retirement home where the occupants are always too cold.If the system knows this,it will reduce the air conditioning in the summer to keep grandma and grandpa nice and warm.
How well does it work?BuildingIQ says it regularly saves between 10and 25percent on heating and air conditioning,the two items that make up 50 or 60 percent of a building's total energy use.The software will help cut energy bills and improve comfort all while reducing our reliance on fossil fuels.It won't be long before you can leave your space heater at home.

27.In Paragraph 1,the author intends to.D
A.complain about the coldness in air-conditioned offices
B.describe the harmful effects of an unhealthy lifestyle
C.criticize some people's unawareness to save energy
D.indicate the low efficiency of the old way of air conditioning
28.According to the article,what does the"thermal model"do?C
A.Gathering information about a building's history.
B.Learning about machines that heat a building.
C.Predicting the amount of air conditioning needed.
D.Analyzing the physical fitness of people inside.
29.The underlined word"tailor"can be best replaced by.B
A.limit
B.adjust
C.expand
D.prevent
30.What is the main idea of Paragraph 4?B
A.BuildingIQ is going to be experimented at retirement homes.
B.BuildingIQ will also analyze human temperature preferences.
C.People have different preferences for temperature and comfort.
D.The limits of human comfort vary and change at different ages.
4.Imagine you're at a party full of strangers.You're nervous.Who are these people?How do you start a conversation?Fortunately,you've got a thing that sends out energy at tiny chips in everyone's name tag(胸牌).The chips send back name,job,hobbies,and the time available for meeting-whatever.Making new friends becomes simple.
This hasn't quite happened in real life.But the world is already experiencing a revolution using RFID technology.
An RFID tag with a tiny chip can be fixed in a product,under your pet's skin,even under your own skin.Passive RFID tags have no energy source-batteries because they do not need it.The energy comes from the reader,a scanning device(装置),that sends out energy (for example,radio waves) that starts up the tag immediately.
Such a tag carries information specific to that object,and the data can be updated.Already,RFID technology is used for recognizing each car or truck on the road and it might appear in your passport.Doctors can put a tiny chip under the skin that will help locate and obtain a patient's medical records.At a nightclub in Paris or in New York the same chip gets you into the VIP section and pays for the bill with the wave of an arm.
Take a step back:10 or 12 years ago,you would have heard about the coming age of computing.One example always seemed to surface:Your refrigerator would know when you needed to buy more milk.The concept was that computer chips could be put everywhere and send information in a smart network that would make ordinary life simpler.
RFID tags are a small part of this phenomenon."The world is going to be a loosely coupled set of individual small devices,connected wirelessly,"predicts Dr.J.Reich.Human right supporters are nervous about the possibilities of such technology.It goes too far tracking school kids through RFID tags,they say.We imagine a world in which a beer company could find out not only when you bought a beer but also when you drank it.And how many beers.Accompanied by how many biscuits.
When Marconi invented radio,he thought it would be used for ship-to-shore communication.Not for pop music.Who knows how RFID and related technologies will be used in the future.Here's a wild guess:Not for buying milk.

32.The article is intended toD.
A.warn people of the possible risks in adopting RFID technology
B.explain the benefits brought about by RFID technology
C.convince people of the uses of RFID technology
D.predict the applications of RFID technology
33.We know from the passage that with the help of RFID tags,peopleA.
A.will have no trouble getting data about others
B.will have more energy for conversation
C.will have more time to make friends
D.won't feel shy at parties any longer
34.Why are some people worried about RFID technology?C
A.Because children will be tracked by strangers.
B.Because market competition will become more fierce.
C.Because their private lives will be greatly a ffected.
D.Because customers will be forced to buy more products.
35.The last paragraph implies that RFID technologyB.
A.will not be used for such matters as buying milk
B.will be widely used,including for buying milk
C.will only be used for buying milk
D.will probably not be widely used.
1.Chinese Women's Volleyball team stood (61)on the top of the Olympic podium for the third time in the history of volleyball at the 2016 Rio Olympics
Coach Lang Ping also made her own history.She has become (62)the first to win Olympic gold medals as a coach and player.At the 1984 Los Angeles Olympics,she and her teammates got their first Olympic medal.Since then,Chinese Women's Volleyball team (63)has been thought(think)as a flagship by all Chinese people for their fighting spirit.
At the 2016 Rio Olympics,Chinese Women's team had a bad start.They finished fourth in the group stage,after (64)failing(fail) in 3 consecutive games.Lang Ping,the coach,challenged her players to find ways to grow from their struggles with the world watching.Lang always believed that her players had the talent and (65)determination(determine) to complete in the top volleyball teams in the world.
They did make it.Chinese Women's volleyball team exhibited the same fight a year ago.
(66)while/whenthey played the World Cup in Japan,and then got to Rio de Janeiro and worked through women initial rough Olympic moments.
Lang Ping challenged her players to support one (67)another through the ups and downs,and to grow from each defeat and triumph on the pressure-packed Olympic stage. They responded,and seemed to play (68)better(good) than before when the moments were critical.
Lang Ping has not just trained (69)butshaped Chinese Women's Volleyball team.What she does is more than simply arranging players,but cultivating them.
"The spirit of Chinese Women's Volleyball team is never to give up.My duty as a coach is to instruct this young team (70)to carry(carry)on this spirit,"said Lang.
2.Do you have a spare room in your house?What about a driveway for your car?Both of these can help you make money.Many people who are short of money are taking advantage of what's been called the"sharing economy".
Perhaps the best-known example of a company in this field is Airbnb-an American web business which allows you to rent out your spare room to holidaymakers.It says it operates in 34,000 cities of more than 190countries and it has over 2,000,000 listings.It seems to have cornered the market!
A British company is doing something with parking spaces.JustPark's founder,Anthony Eskinazi,says,"When I had the original idea,I spotted a driveway close to a sports stadium.It would have been so convenient if I could have just parked in that driveway rather than in a commercial car park."And he has a big clientele(顾客):around 20,000 people have advertised their spaces on the site,and he says around half a million drivers use it.There are other sites doing very similar things,like Uber and Lyft-these let drivers share their cars with other passengers.Any driver knows how valuable a place to park is.A church near Kings Cross in central London has apparently made over£200,000 by renting out space in this yard to travelers!
Because this is a new business world,those rules aren't there yet and many people are happy to share as long as it pays!
But the sharing economy has its shortages:the competitors of these new companies.People who run things like traditional B&B,commercial car parks and taxi services are afraid of ending up losing money.And there is another issue,regulations on these new businesses are unclear.How will renting out your driveway affect your neighbor?

32.Which can best replace the underlined word"cornered"in Paragraph 2?B
A.determined by
B.taken control of
C.benefited from
D.come onto
33.Why are a lot of people happy to share according to Paragraph 4?B
A.To avoid tax.
B.To make a profit.
C.To get over limits to them.
D.To gain more convenience.
34.Which of the following may be against the sharing economy?D
A.A church with a large free yard.
B.A driver needing a parking place.
C.A traveler looking for a spare room.
D.A hotel owning good accommodations.
35.How is the future of the new business according to the last paragraph?B
A.Modern and effective.
B.Effective but worrying.
C.Hopeful and satisfying.
D.Creative but unpractical.
