21、In cities like Beijing and Shanghai, online shopping is already a major part of daily life, leaving limited room for growth. As a result, e-commerce companies are increasingly turning to smaller cities and rural areas, where disposable income remains relatively high, in part due to lower living costs.

For example, Alibaba said its penetration(渗透)rate in developed parts of China is 85%, versus 40% in less developed areas. The company added that for the quarter ended June 30, more than 70% of the increase in annual active consumers was from those less developed areas.

Unlike urban residents, most rural Chinese have yet to experience e-commerce shopping. While that provides online platforms with one of the last untapped (未开发的)markets for e-commerce, progress has been slow due to the lack of infrastructure (基础设施) and logistics (物流)support, exacerbated by the lower population densities in rural areas.

Where the delivery infrastructure falls short, e-commerce companies have found other ways to reach consumers. Going door-to-door in sparsely populated villages can be a costly practice, so mini-distribution hubs like Rural Taobao can serve as pickup points. JD, which runs its own in-house logistics network, is making drones (无人机) that can bring up to 1 metric ton of packages to the rural areas, said the company’s chief technology officer last June.

The race to be the first U.S. company delivering packages via drone took a new turn earlier this summer, when Amazon’s Worldwide Consumer chief Jeff Wilke unveiled the company’s latest drone model at an event in Las Vegas. He pledged that Prime Air, Amazon’s drone delivery program, would be delivering packages to customers “in months.” Amazon appears to be throwing more resources into its drone aspirations than its competitors, which makes sense given that drone delivery could be very advantageous to Amazon’s core business. Certainly, it is impossible for China’s e-commerce giants to sit around waiting for his competitors in the race of setting up logistics network.

【1】The e-commerce companies are turning to smaller cities and rural areas because .

A．Online shopping in less developed cities has big potential to grow compared to big cities .

B．In rural areas, the living costs are lower.

C．People in rural areas have a great interest in online shopping.

D．There are not enough shops of good brand for people to visit in rural areas.

【2】What do we know about the e-commerce shopping in the rural areas of China ?

A．By the end of the year, over 70% of the increase in annual active consumers was from those less developed areas.

B．Unlike urban residents, most rural Chinese have experienced e-commerce shopping.

C．The online shopping in rural areas advances slowly mainly due to inadequate infrastructure and logistics support

D．Going door- to- door to send packages makes people pay more for online shopping.

【3】What does paragraph4 mainly tell us?

A．E-commerce companies have many ways to reach consumers everywhere.

B．JD is making drones to help send packages in rural areas.

C．Some ways to deliver packages in the places without adequate delivery infrastructure.

D．Delivery infrastructure falls short in the rural areas.

【4】If the passage continues, What will the following part be about ?

A．The approaches the e-commerce giants in China are taking to set up logistics network.

B．The possible results that Amazon’s drone will bring.

C．E-commerce giants will follow Amazon’s way to invest drones.

D．What JD is doing in setting logistics network.

22、Three years ago when I was still in the University, I also worked at a restaurant.

An old man named Mr. Candido Filio was one of our regular customer at the restaurant. He was one of the most intelligent people I've ever known.

Every Sunday the Philippine Star Newspaper had a special page for word puzzles and among his peers (同龄人), Mr.Filio held the record for solving all the puzzles in less than five minutes. He encouraged me to solve them too, and for months and months, I did my best to beat him but failed.

Then one Sunday, I did it! I was able to complete them before anyone else. Everyone cheered for me. He came up to me with a smile and said,  " No one has ever beaten me before. You are the first. I'll have a prize for you tomorrow."

The next day, he gave me a special Scrabble（拼字游戏）set. I would have never been able to afford one like that by myself. Then he said to me,  " Kate, what do you think is man's final goal in life? Happiness, isn't it? You are happy and that should be considered as a success. Many people spend a lifetime searching for that. Be thankful that you have found it." I looked at him and knew that my life had changed, probably forever. He must have known that I always felt sad about not having much money.

He encouraged me to learn the game and love words. And true to his words, I was never able to beat him again.

A. was generous to young people

23、Fat and shy, Ben Saunders was the last kid in his class picked for any sports team. "Football, tennis, cricket — anything with a round ball, I was useless," he says now with a laugh. But back then he was the one always made fun of in school gym classes in Devonshire, England.

It was a mountain bike he received for his 15th birthday that changed him. At first he went hiking alone in a nearby forest. Then he began to ride the bike along with a runner friend. Gradually, Saunders set his mind on building up his body, increasing his speed and strength. At the age of 18, he ran his first marathon.

The following year, he met John Ridgway and was hired as an instructor at Ridgwhy’s School of Adventure in Scotland, where he learned about Ridgway's cold-water exploits. Greatly interested, Saunders read all he could about North Pole explorers and adventures, then decided that this would be his future.

In 2001, after becoming a skillful skier, Saunders started his first long-distance expedition (探险) towards the North Pole. It took unbelievable energy. He suffered frostbite (冻疮), ran into a polar bear land pushed his body to the limit, pulling his supply-loaded sled (雪橇) up and over rocky ice.

Saunders has become the youngest person to ski alone to the North Pole, and he's skied more of the North Pole by himself than any other British man. His old playmates would not believe the change.

Next October, Saunders, 27, heads south from the coast of Antarctica to the South Pole and back, a 2900-kilometre journey that has never been completed on skis.

24、   We human beings have many great powers and one of them is our imagination. Maybe you are surprised and wonder why I draw such a conclusion. Wait and let me explain to you.

William James was a philosopher and one of the leading thinkers more than a century ago. He said this is about the power of the mind, “Anything you may hold firm in your imagination can be yours.” He believed there was tremendous power in imagination and wrote in length about how humans can bring about significant positive changes in their attitudes, behaviors and relationships by first holding a vivid image of their best selves, or the person they want to become，in their imagination.

In his book TheWinner'sEdge，writer Denis Waitley tells of high school basketball players who learned the power of holding something firm in their imaginations. The students were divided into three groups. Group One was told not to practice shooting free throws for one month. Group Two was told to practice shooting free throws in the gym every afternoon for a month. Group Three was told to imagine shooting free throws every afternoon for one hour for a month. Rankly, I can hardly imagine a group of athletes, after sitting in class all day, dressing out, going to the gym, sitting in the bleachers and just thinking about shooting free throws for an hour every day. But look at these results. Group One, the no－practice group, slipped slightly in their percentage free－throw average. Group Two，the students that practiced, increased their accuracy by about two percentage points. Group Three, the ones who imagined shooting, also increased about two percentage points—the same as the group that practiced.

Neuroscience(神经学)is just now discovering that there are biological reasons for this phenomenon William James talked about so long ago. But here is the point. Do you want to become more excellent at some endeavor? Do you want to improve your outlook? Is there a skill you'd like to perfect? Do you want better relationships? Or would you like to replace your fear of something, such as speaking in public or heading up a project, with more confidence and courage? If so, then some mental practice, holding a vivid image of what you have in your mind, is as important as physical practice. The time you spend “seeing” in your mind what you are trying to accomplish actually helps to bring it to pass.

I don't mean we have to sit down and imagine something for an hour every day. It's as  simple as holding a vivid mental picture of what you truly desire and returning to it as often as  possible.

So there are many things that you can have in your imagination. Imagine your success. Never hesitate to visualize doing that thing you fear at first. Get it in your mind and then imagine your success in that area over and over again, like free throws going into the basket. What does it look like to be confident? How does it look to be actually doing the thing you're afraid to do? How does it feel? Can you imagine it in detail? In a short time, you will discover that things really are changing for you. And after that, well, just imagine what else you can do if you really want to achieve some unexpected results.

【1】In the research in Denis Waitley's book, Group Three was told to________?

A．practice shooting free throws for one month.

B．practice shooting free throws every afternoon for a month.

C．imagine shooting free throws every afternoon for a month.

D．imagine shooting free throws for an hour every afternoon for month.

A．encourage the readers to discover the real reasons for imagination's power

26、阅读下面材料, 根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段, 使之构成一篇完整的短文。

When I was in Grade 10, my family had a tough time. My parents lost their jobs during the Depression. Dad was too ill to work outside, while mum had a hard time raising us kids on her own in our small community. We relied on our community assistance to keep us clothed, and although our clothes were second-hand, we thought they were beautiful.

Looking back, I realize what Mum went through for sending us kids to school. Every morning she would put a new piece of cardboard in our shoes, because our shoes were worn out. Constant moving was typical for my family in these times. Rent was twenty-five dollars a month, but Mum couldn’t pay it. These were hard and sad years, but we never complained.

New Year was approaching, and we were entitled to a twenty-five dollar fund for social services. Mum said that instead of buying food, she would use the money to pay back rent, assuring us all of a roof over our heads for a little while longer. She told us then there would be nothing for New Year.

Unknown to Mum, I had been shoveling snow and doing odd jobs to earn enough money to buy a new pair of gloves. I knew exactly which gloves I wanted. They were made of genuine leather and they had a price of twenty-three dollars. Well, the big day came on the last day of that year. I was very excited, as I hurried up to catch the bus. It was only a half-a-mile walk, but on the way I noticed a house with lights and decorations. It was then that I realized at our house, we had no lights, no decorations, nor any money for goodies. I knew then that we would have no delicious food for New Year, and I felt sad.

As I continued walking, I began to feel bewildered. I was sixteen years old, and I was feeling a strange sense of guilt. Here I was going to buy a new pair of gloves while Mum was home in tears. She would be trying to explain to us why there were no presents.
