26、Survey Studies Internet Use in China

A typical(典型的) Chinese Internet user is a young male who prefers instant messaging to e-mail, seldom makes online purchases(购买) and favors news, music and games sites. According to a study, about two-thirds of survey participants use the Internet for news — often entertainment-related — or for online games. About half download music and movies.

They also tend to prefer instant messaging to e-mail, and they are depending on the Internet more frequently than before to communicate with others who have the same professions, hobbies and political interests. Online purchases still remain unpopular in China. Three-quarters of users surveyed have never bought anything over the Internet, and only 10 percent make purchases even once a month. Among those who do buy online, most pay for entertainment while others buy phone cards, or computer hardware or software.

“Many people don’t trust the quality of goods bought online,” Guo said Wednesday. “If they buy it in a store and don’t like it, they can easily bring it back.”

The survey was done in five major cities: Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou, Chengdu and Changsha. Results do not necessarily project countrywide because Internet use in rural areas is lower than in cities. Guo describes the typical netizen in the five cities surveyed as young, male, richer and more highly educated. Males make up two-thirds of the Internet community, and more than 80 percent of users are under. Among people ages 25 to 29, 60 percent to 80 percent go online.

China has more than 100 million people online, second in the world to the United States.

【1】 A typical Chinese Internet user will be the one who ______.

A. likes to buy goods online

B. likes the games sites

C. likes to pay for entertainment

D. likes to send e-mails

【2】Online purchases still remain unpopular in China mainly because ______.

A. goods bought online are of low quality

B. people can’t have a look at the goods

C. it is more difficult for sales returns

D. people haven’t computers

【3】 Which of the following words fails to describe the typical netizens in the five cities?

A. young B. female

C. well educated   D. richer

27、Today, one can trace Venice’s rich past from its buildings. Most cities can claim at least a handful of outstanding churches, palaces or houses of historical interest, but in Venice very nearly everything is remarkable, from the magnificent Piazza San Marco (St. Mark’s Square ) and the palaces that line the Grand Canal to the centuries-old homes of simple fishermen. It would be easy to say that the city itself is an enormous museum if it were not for the fact it is so obviously alive.

At first sight, Venice looks unbelievably permanent, an apparently complete Renaissance (文艺复兴) city so untouched by time that there seems no reason why it should not go on forever. Now the city is slowly sinking, as the clay on which it is built loses its elasticity (弹性) and the massive wooden piles rot (腐烂) away. Flooding, such a rare occurrence a hundred years ago now happens several times each winter.

The damage caused by the flooding is immense, and the fabric of the ancient buildings is now being further damaged by pollution from the mainland town as well as by the wash produced by the constantly increasing number of motor boats that speed up and down the canals.

A further threat to Venice comes from the Venetians themselves, some of whom are not particularly interested in preserving the city as one of the wonders of the world and would prefer to see it modernized.

“What better place is there for the meeting of dear friends? See how it glows with the advancing summer; how the sky and the sea and the rosy air and the marble of the palaces all glimmer and melt together.” Thus wrote the famous author Henry James, of Venice, which provided the setting for his story “The Aspern Papers”, in the nineteenth century. The Splendor of Venice has captured the imagination of artists for centuries --- and not just of the great painters and novelists. How tragic now that she is faced with the double threat of man and nature. Venice indeed will be lucky to survive.

【1】Venice proudly boasts .

A. its beautiful churches, palaces and houses

B. its unique St. Mark’s Square and the Grand Canal

C. its picturesque waterscape

D. its marvelous ancient buildings

【2】The writer thinks that .

A. Venice can be regarded as a big museum

B. Venice is no longer a big museum

C. Venice is different from a big museum

D. Venice can never be a big museum because of its modernization

【3】From the fourth paragraph, we know that .

A. Venetians are eager to modernize their city

B. Venetians value the Grand Canal

C. Venetians don’t care about any threat to the Grand Canal.

D. the threat of man is greater than the threat of nature

【4】In the last paragraph, the writer .

A. is very confident that Venice will survive

B. is doubtful whether Venice will survive

C. thinks that Venice will have luck

D. is afraid that Venice will no longer attract artists and novelists

28、Geese may have been domesticated(驯化) as early as 7,000 years ago in what is now China, according to a study of preserved goose bones. That may make them the first bird to be domesticated before chickens. The finding extends the history of goose domestication, says Masaki Eda at Hokkaido University Museum in Sapporo, Japan.

Eda is part of a team that has unearthed an archaeological site in east China called Tianluoshan, which was a Stone Age village between about 7,000 and 5,500 years ago. Here, the researchers have found 232 goose bones. Four of the bones belonged to young geese that were less than 16 weeks old, with the youngest probably less than eight weeks old. This means they must have been bred(繁殖) at Tianluoshan, says Eda, because they were too young to have flown in from elsewhere.

Some of the adult geese also seem to have been locally bred, based on the chemical make-up of their bones, which reflects the water they drank. These locally bred birds were all about the same size. Finally, the researchers found that the locally bred geese lived about 7,000 years ago. “Taken together, the findings suggest the geese were at an early stage of domestication,” says Eda.

“If geese were domesticated 7,000 years ago, that would make them the first bird to be domesticated,” says Eda. The other candidate is chickens, but there has been a dispute over when and where this first happened.

Chickens were probably domesticated from wild birds called red junglefowl, which live in southern Asia. A study published in 2014 reported that chickens were domesticated in northern China 10,000 years ago, based on DNA from bones. However, it isn’t clear that red junglefowl ever lived that far north. Furthermore, the bones weren’t directly dated and firm evidence of domestic chickens only appeared from around 5,000 years ago.

“This implies geese were domesticated before chickens, but it’s difficult to say why the geese were domesticated,” says Eda. Meat, eggs, feathers and bone tools are all possibilities.

【1】Why are the ages of the geese stressed in paragraph 2?

A．To indicate how old the bones were.

B．To show that they were locally bred.

C．To tell what the site used to be like.

D．To prove that the site had a long history.

【2】What does the third paragraph mainly talk about?

A．The background of the study.

B．The importance of the study.

C．The process of the study.

D．The findings of the study.

【3】What does the underlined word “dispute” in paragraph 4 mean?

A．Explanation.

B．Theory.

C．Disagreement.

D．Judgement.

【4】What is Eda uncertain about according to the text?

A．The effects of goose domestication.

B．The reasons why goose bones remained.

C．The link between geese and chickens.

D．The purposes of goose domestication.

29、Studies have suggested that about one-fourth of people in the world suffer from some kind of mental illness related to anxiety. Worrying is a feeling of showing major concern or anxiety about the situations at present or in the future. Constant worrying can actually have a negative effect on a person’s life. 【1】

Make every effort to distance yourselves from people who look at everything in the most negative way, especially they are your friends, family or even co-workers. 【2】 It will increase your confidence and help you reduce your worries.

Keeping a worry journal allows you to write about the anxieties in your mind freely. Not only is the journal a great way of expressing strong feelings, ideas or energy but it is the best way to deal with difficult problems, concerns, and many strong feelings you may be having.

【3】 Your loved ones can easily provide you with extremely good advice and support. Moreover, as a long-term worrier, you may consider getting help from a professional.

Mindfulness can make people focus on their surroundings and what they are feeling without any interruptions in the moment. 【4】 Because it helps us to know exactly when we start to get anxious and focus on what could be the cause of their fears or disturbances.

There are many other different effective techniques that can be used to calm down your mind, from taking a deep breath, trying to end a disagreement by discussion, or even listening to music. 【5】

A．Choose to be in the company of positive people.

B．Happiness is when your life satisfies your own needs.

C．Take a look at the great methods to help you stop worrying.

D．There are a million different experiences that might lead to anxiety.

E．You can even experiment with different methods to help you find the best way.

F．Practicing mindfulness can certainly help the mind and body relax and reduce stress.

G．Sharing your thoughts and concerns with a trusted friend or family members may give you the relief.
