【题目】As if 2016 hadn’t been hard enough for China’s workforce, a yearly survey has revealed that more than half of the country’s white-collar employees got no year-end bonus ahead of the upcoming and costly lunar(农历的) New Year holiday. The survey of 11,500 workers by Chinese employment agency Zhaopin found that 50.9 per cent did not get an annual bonus at the end of 2016. Another 9.6 percent were told their bonuses had been delayed until after the New Year holiday.

Before the slowdown that began in 2014, employers in China had been less ungenerous with cash bonuses, which can total well over a full month’s pay and send employees back home for the holiday with plenty of cash for gifts to elders and other family members or to put away as savings. The impact of weak growth on year-end bonuses may have reached the highest point in 2015, however, when 66 per cent of white-collar workers received no year-end bonuses. And the 2016 level actually represents an improvement from 2014, when 61 per cent had to go without.

But that recovery has also seen the size of bonuses drop: last year the average bonus was Rmb 12,821($1,861), about Rmb 2,000 more than that in 2015 but still about Rmb800 below the 2014 average. More than a quarter of those surveyed who saw their bonuses drop last year blamed the drop on poor company performance.

Differences among the 34 cities surveyed were still greater, as the average bonus of over Rmb 15,800 in Beijing was more than three times than that in the lowest-paying city of Shenyang. Employees of state-owned firms also expressed more satisfaction with their bonuses than those at private companies — and little wonder, as the average bonus at the former was Rmb 17,318, or about Rmb 6,000 more than what private companies’ employees could expect.

But the impact of companies’ stinginess(吝啬) can go beyond simply ruining employees’ New Year holiday, possibly coming back to affect employers: 39 percent of respondents said they would look for work elsewhere if their year-end bonus was not returned to normal, an increase of 2.3 Percentage points from 2015.

1Which is the right order of the year of year-end bonuses’ receiving percentage according to the passage?

A. 2016>2015>2014 B. 2016>2014>2015

C. 2015>2016>20I4 D. 2014>2015>2016

2What can we know from the passage?

A. Some employees think poor company performance is a reason for the bonus drop.

B. Small bonus differences exist in the 34 cities surveyed in China.

C. The average bonus in Shenyang is over Rmb5500.

D. Private firms’ workers can get more bonuses than those in state-owned firms.

3Which is the best title for the passage?

A. Bonus Differences between State-owned Firms and Private Firms

B. The Importance of Bonuses for White-collar Workers in China

C. A Hard Year for China’s White-collar Workers

D. A survey of China’s Workforce’s Year-end Bonuses

【题目】Two Christmas traditions have come under attack in recent years from environmentalists: Christmas cards and Christmas trees.

Paper cards are seen as wasteful and, for some people, going card-free is another way ofgoing green. They also argue that in a world of e-mail, Skype, Facebook and Twitter, peopleare in touch all the time anyway; they no longer need the yearly card that connects them with long lost friends. If you want to send Christmas greetings, there are freee-cards, which get the job done with no postage or wasted paper.

However, especially for people who didn’t grow up with e-mail, there is something missing from a Christmas e-mail. The first Christmas cards appeared in London in 1843and were designed by the same man who had introduced the world’s first postage stamp three years earlier. His name was Sir Henry Cole.Theyrose in popularity throughout the 20th century. Many people sent cards that were sold for charity (慈善). In the UK this year, in the three weeks before Christmas, the postofficeexpects to handle 100 millioncards every day.

When we think of trees at Christmas, there is one that instantly springs into mind---the evergreen tree that people decorate with ornaments and place their giftsunder.Thecustom dates back almost a thousand years to Germany. Nowadays 33 to 36 millionChristmas trees are produced in America and 50 to 60 million in Europe each year.Some trees are sold live with roots and soil so people can plant them later and reusethem next year.

Some people prefer artificial trees as they are reusable and much cheaperthan the natural ones. However, environmentalists point out that theyare made from petroleum(石油) products, thus causing many pollution problems.

1What is the purpose of writing the article?

A. To introduce the debate about some Christmas traditions.

B. To explain the history of two typical Christmas traditions.

C. To analyze how two Christmas traditions grew in popularity.

D. To suggest the solution to the problems caused by celebrating Christmas.

2What does the underlined word “They” in the fourth paragraph probably refer to?

A. Many people. B. Christmas e-mails.

C. Postage stamps. D. Christmas cards.

3Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the article?

A. There is always a wider Christmas tree market in America than in Europe.

B. The custom of decorating Christmas trees first appeared in Britain.

C. Some people love to buy live trees that can be reused next year.

D. Artificial trees are better than natural ones in all aspects(方面).
