题目内容
【题目】I recently posted a picture on Facebook from the movie Mad Max, a film where two groups race through the desert in steampunk vehicles, and wrote, “Actual picture of my way to work today.” It was meant to be a joke because of the sandstorms in Beijing, but one of my friends from back home thought it was real.
I couldn’t imagine how they could think that is actually what China is like. China has so many more conveniences and advantages than the West, and many of my friends agree. “I don’t know how I will be able to deal when I go back home,” said a friend who is about to end her gap year in Beijing. “I’ve become so spoiled in China.”
China seems to be leading the way in innovation(创新) and convenience for daily life. Back home I could never shop, pull out my phone and scan a QR code to pay.
There have been rumors of starting bike sharing in my hometown for years with little success while bike sharing suddenly appeared in Beijing overnight. I just step outside and scan a code, and I am on my way.
Going out to eat with a group of friends back home was troublesome for both the group and the servers. Splitting bills and swiping(刷) 10 different cards or making change for each person in the group can be a pain. But with China’s WeChat, you can quickly send your friends your part of the bill.
The list goes on…
When I first arrived in Beijing, I was dead set on leaving in a month. That month has come and gone. Now, when someone asks me when I’m coming back, I think to myself, “Who knows?”
While my friends think I am riding through the desert on a motorbike, I am actually taking a Didi for what is the equivalent of $5 in the US.
With all the conveniences and technology here, I may never want to go back.

【解析】作者介绍了自己在中国,尤其是在北京生活上的各种方便和便利。作者认为中国似乎在引领日常生活便利化的变革。
【1】推理判断题。作者用一个玩笑来引出自己接下来要讲述的东西,所以第一段的目的是引出并介绍要说的话题,故选B。
【2】细节理解题。根据倒数第三段When I first arrived in Beijing, I was dead set on leaving in a month.可知作者刚来的时候,非常不习惯,第一个月非常想动身回家。故答案为A。
【3】细节理解题。根据第三段Back home I could never shop, pull out my phone and scan a QR code to pay.可知作者已经习惯了用手机扫码付款购物,故B项是正确的。A和C项文章都没有提到,错误,D项和原文表述的“有些朋友并不知道中国目前的便利”不符,错误。
【4】推理判断题。作者通过自己的亲身体验和生活实际讲述了在中国的各种方便和便利,科技的发展使中国引领生活便利化的潮流,故选D。
