Alibaba started taking the lead in China by connecting big Chinese manufacturers(制造商) with big buyers across the world. Its business-to-business site, Alibaba.com allowed business to buy almost everything. Alibaba’s advantage wasn’t hard to judge: size. Alibaba is just big, even by Chinese standards. Its market attracts 231 million active buyers, 8 million sellers, 11.3 billion orders a year — and Alibaba is just the middleman. It encourages people to use its markets — not charging small sellers a percentage of the sale.

If you want a quick look into the influence of Alibaba on daily Chinese life, take my experience. I moved to Beijing a year ago and quickly got tired of visiting small stores across the crowded, polluted city of 20 million people in search of new electronics, bathroom furnishings, and anything else my wife wanted. “You’re looking for what exactly? Why not try it? ” my Chinese teacher asked me one day. With that, my wonderful new relationship with Alibaba began.

Alibaba’s original business-to-business model now is second to consumer buying. Chinese retail(零售) buying makes up 80% of Alibaba’s profit, and leading that group is Taobao, with 800 million items for sale and the most unbelievable selection of things you’ll ever find. TMall.com is Alibaba’s other big site, where you can find brand name goods from Nike and Unilever near the lowest prices.

What I have a hard time explaining to friends and family back in the U.S. is how China has gone beyond traditional shopping — big-box retailers especially —in favor of online purchases on Taobao and a few other sites. In smaller towns than Beijing, where big retailers have not yet traveled, shopping online is shopping, and shopping is Taobao.

I have a list of some of my recent purchases on Taobao for a sense of how wide the marketplace is. Almost everything arrived a day or two after ordering with free shipping. I’m not even a big buyer, because I need friends to help me search the Chinese-language site. When I was searching my purchase history on my Chinese teacher’s iPad, which helps me buy goods, I looked through with great difficulty about 10 of her purchases for every one of mine.

1.Alibaba’s advantage mainly lies in .

A．its low price

B．its big size

C．its not charging small sellers

D．its business-to-business service

2.We know from the passage that Alibaba .

A．will continue to develop.

B．charges all the sellers on its site a percentage of the sale.

C．acts as a bridge between the buyers and sellers.

D．is of middle size among all the online sites.

3.What can be inferred from the passage?

A．Alibaba’s business-to-business service earns more money than retail.

B．TMall.com provides more profit than Taobao.

C．Taobao has no obvious advantage over other similar online sites.

D．The author’s Chinese teacher is also an online purchase lover.

4.What is the passage mainly about?

A．Shopping online in China is TaoBao.

B．How the author purchases online in China.

C．Shopping online goes beyond traditional shopping.

D．Alibaba influences people’s daily purchase in China.

—Daddy, do you have a _________?

—Sorry dear, I would ________ listen to your story now. but you see this endless housework?

A. time; however B. time; otherwise

C. second; otherwise D. second; however

阅读下列四篇短文，从每小题后所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该选项涂黑。

A surprisingly high number of city citizens in China suffer from poor health and many die at an early age.

Poor health with no sign of any identified disease, a condition known in China as “sub health,” is on the rise. Sub health is marked by general weakness, low energy levels and a poor immune system.

A survey held in 16 cities with over 1 million population showed high proportions of urban Chinese have been suffering sub health problems.

The numbers are particularly high in Beijing, Shanghai and Guangzhou, with 75.31, 73.49, and 73.41 percent respectively of residents in poor health, the survey showed.

The problem happens mostly among senior and middle-level managers, clerks and other white-collar workers with high education levels, said the website of the Red Cross Society of China.

“The sub health condition, found in most cases among groups of people with a high educational level, will have bad effects on China’s long-term development and progress if not dealt timely and properly,” the website warned.

A survey by the Chinese Academy of Sciences shows that the average life of Chinese intellectuals is 58 years, 10 years lower than the nation’s average.

This early death phenomenon may be increasing.

Among Chinese people with high education in the 25-59 age group, the death rate for women is as high as 10.4 per cent. For men it is even higher: 16.5 percent.

A report published by the China Sub Health Academic Seminar said the country’s health is going through a transitional period and many long-term diseases have taken the place of infectious diseases such as SARS and flu as the main cause of death.

“Bad working habits, poor disease prevention knowledge, not enough governmental investment and lack of health education are the main reasons,” said Yang Xiaoduo, a healthcare expert with a local health association, who said China should race against time seeking measures to solve the sub health problem.

1.According to the text, which of the following is NOT true?

A. Chinese people especially the city citizens are suffering from sub health problem.

B. Infectious diseases used to be the main cause of death across China.

C. Sub health problem will do damage to our country’s development.

D. Now more and more people realize the importance to stop sub health.

2. The following are the symptoms of sub health EXCEPT _______.

A. Weakness B. Low energy levels

C. A bad temper D. A poor immune system

3. What’s the average life of Chinese people?

A. 48 B. 58 C. 68 D. 78

4.What will be talked about in the next paragraph?

A. The way to solve the problem of sub health.

B. More reasons for sub health.

C. Who suffer from sub health.

D. Why people with high education are more likely to suffer sub health.

Europe loves bicycle

Cycling isn’t always easy. Busy streets, noisy horns, and inadequate bike lanes and parking areas can make it an uphill battle. But not even these difficulties can stop Europeans passion for cycling. According to BBC,bicycles outsold cars in 26 of the European Union’s 28 states last year.

In some European countries just like Denmark and the Netherlands, people really love bicycles.

But BBC reported that Spain is also embracing bicycling: for the first time on record, bicycles outsold cars in the country in 2012.

And it’s becoming a continent-wide phenomenon. “people ride to work and take their bikes to the grocery

store,” Bill Strickland, executive editor of Bicycling magazine, told Reuters.

So what has led to cycling’s growing popularity in Europe?

“Cycling is a safe, clean, healthy way to get around,” the Daily Star concluded. “it not only reduces traffic congestion and pollution, abut also contributes to public health.”

Bike-friendly policies have also contributed to the phenomenon.

Dozens of cities have joined a European Union initiative(倡议) to make bicycles on the par with (与......平分秋色) cars as a form of urban transport. Quite a few cities such as Stockholm, London, Florence and Munich now offer extensive networks of well-marked bike lanes.

Copenhagen take it as a step future by keeping bicycles and motor vehicles physically separate as much as possible. On these routes, stoplights are adjusted to the rhythms of bicycles, not cars. And the routs are lined with bicycle pump stations that are designed to the Daily Star.

For people living far from city centers, getting to work by bicycles alone may not be time-efficient. That’s why many European countries now allow cyclists to bring their bicycles onto subway trains.

Europeans are also creative in solving parking problems. The Daily Star reported that Amsterdam has come up with a high-tech solution: you lock your bike to a rack (架子), which then revolves underground. When you want your bike back, the rack rotates (旋转) it back to the surface.

1.Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the article?

A. In Denmark, all bike lanes are separated from motorized traffic.

B. In Copenhagen, cyclists are given priority (优先) over drivers in many traffic situations.

C. Bicycles are not allowed to be taken onto subway trains in most European countries.

D. Amsterdam’s cycling network and underground parking system is the most advanced in the world.

2.The underlined word “embracing” in Para3 is closest in the meaning to _____.

A. getting worries about

B. taking little interest in

C. accepting gladly

D. including as a part of something larger

3.What’s the purpose of the underlined sentence?

A. It shows the popularity of bicycles.

B. It shows why people dislike bicycles.

C. It serves as an introduction of why Europeans like bicycles.

D. It serves as a warning of difficulty in riding a bicycle.

4.More and more Europeans prefer bicycles because ________.

A. They think cycling is a safe, clean, healthy, inexpensive way to get around.

B. Cars are usually caught in traffic jams.

C. Governments require them to do so.

D. It is convenient to park their bicycles.

Can you be too beautiful? It is hardly a problem that most of us have to bother — as much as we might like to dream that it were the case.

Yet the blessings and curses of beauty have been a long-standing interest in psychology. Do those blessed with shiny faces and an attractive body live in a cloud of appreciation — or does it sometimes pay to be ordinary?

Combing through decades of findings, social psychologists Lisa Slattery Walker and Tonya Frevert at the University of North Carolina at Charlotte have reviewed all the evidence to date and their conclusions are not what you might expect.

At the most basic level, beauty might be thought to carry a kind of halo(光环) around it; we see that someone has one good quality, and by association, our deep mind may assume that they have other good ones too.

Even in the courts, a pleasing appearance can work its magic. Attractive criminals are likely to get less strict sentences, or to escape punishment entirely; attractive plaintiffs(原告), meanwhile, are more likely to win their case and get bigger financial settlements. “It’s an effect seen everywhere,” says Walker.

But if beauty pays in most circumstances, there are still situations where it can have opposite results. While attractive men may be considered better leaders, for instance, hidden sexist prejudices can work against attractive women, making them less likely to be hired for high-level jobs that require power. And as you might expect, good-looking people of both sexes run into envy — one study found that if you are interviewed by someone of the same sex, they may be less likely to employ you if they judge that you are more attractive than they are.

More worryingly, being beautiful or handsome could harm your medical care. We tend to link good looks to health, meaning that illnesses are often taken less seriously when they affect the good-looking. When treating people for pain, for instance, doctors tend to take less care over the more attractive people.

And the bubble of beauty can be a somewhat lonely place. One study in 1975, for instance, found that people tend to move further away from a beautiful woman on the pathway — perhaps as a mark of respect, but still making interaction more distant. “Attractiveness can convey more power over visible space — but that in turn can make others feel they can’t approach that person,” says Frevert. Interestingly, the online dating website OKCupid recently reported that people with the most beautiful pictures are less likely to find dates than those with less perfect pictures.

Ultimately, Frevert points out that focusing too much on your appearance can itself be harmful if it creates stress and anxiety — even for those already blessed with good looks. “If you are crazy about attractiveness, it may affect your experience and interactions,” she says. It’s an outdated saying, but no amount of beauty can make up for a bad personality. As the writer Dorothy Parker put it so elegantly: “Beauty is only skin deep, but ugly goes clean to the bone.”

1.From paragraph one, we can learn that _______.

A. we might always dream about being bothered by others[

B. most people are not afraid of being too beautiful

C. some may be bothered by their unattractive appearance

D. being too beautiful can be a problem bothering everyone

2.Which is the benefit for beautiful people?

A. An attractive plaintiff has more chances to get away with punishment.

B. Beautiful criminals are more likely to persuade the judge and win the case.

C. Good-looking people are often regarded as having many good qualities.

D. Women with pleasing appearance will always be considered as better leaders.

3.What can be inferred from OKCupid’s finding?

A. Don’t use perfect pictures when trying to find dates online.

B. Less attractive women are lonely because of their appearances.

C. We may feel more excited to approach those with attractive appearances.

D. People with perfect pictures will find dates sooner or later.

4.What might be the best title for the passage?

A. Sexist Prejudice B. Negative Sides of Beauty

C. Blessed with Beauty D. Beauty vs Ugliness

Many years ago, when I was fresh out of school and working in Denver, I was driving to my parents’ home in Missouri for Christmas. I stopped at a gas station about 50 miles from Oklahoma City, where I was planning to stop and visit a friend. While I was standing in line at the cash register (收款台), I said hello to an older couple who were also paying for gas.

I took off, but had gone only a few miles when black smoke poured from the back of my car. I stopped and wondered what I should do. A car pulled up behind me. It was the couple I had spoken to at the gas station. They said they would take me to my friend’s. We chatted on the way into the city, and when I got out of the car, the husband gave me his business card.

I wrote him and his wife a thank?you note for helping me. Soon afterward, I received a Christmas present from them. Their note that came with it said that helping me had made their holidays meaningful.

Years later, I drove to a meeting in a nearby town in the morning. In late afternoon I returned to my car and found that I’d left the lights on all day, and the battery (电池) was dead. Then I noticed that the Friendly Ford dealership—a shop selling cars—was right next door. I walked over and found two salesmen in the showroom.

“Just how friendly is Friendly Ford?” I asked and explained my trouble. They quickly drove a pickup truck to my car and started it. They would accept no payment, so when I got home, I wrote them a note to say thanks. I received a letter back from one of the salesmen. No one had ever taken the time to write him and say thank you, and it meant a lot, he said.

“Thank you” — two powerful words. They’re easy to say and mean so much.

1. What happened when the author found smoke coming out of his car?

A．He had it pulled back to the gas station.

B．The couple sent him a business card.

C．The couple offered to help him.

D．He called his friend for help.

2.The battery of the author’s car was dead because ________.

A．something went wrong with the lights

B．the meeting lasted a whole day

C．he forgot to turn off the lights

D．he drove too long a distance

3.By telling his own experiences, the author tries to show ________.

A．how to write a thank?you letter

B．how to deal with car problems

C．the kind?heartedness of older people

D．the importance of expressing thanks
