【题目】If you have spent any time living in or visiting a big city in China, you have most likely used the service that Didi provides. The convenient ride-sharing company, now known as Didi Chuxing, was praised last month by Fortune magazine. According to the magazine, it is changing the world with its environmentally friendly solution to getting around in major cities. As the magazine reported: “Didi concluded that last year its car-pooling services helped reduce total car trips in the country by 1 million a day, which saved 500 million liters of gas, cutting 13.5 million tons of carbon emissions (排放) per day.” The transport service was the only Chinese company to make the important magazine’s list, and its influence can be felt in many parts of Chinese society.
Didi is just one example of what is being called the “sharing economy”. The sharing economy is one in which regular people exchange goods and services, usually using an online marketplace. Other similar companies include companies that allow people to rent out their homes to strangers like Airbnb and Couchsurfing, and similar ride sharing services like Uber and Lyft.
All of these services are possible partly because many people are realizing that they have underused assets in their lives. Millions of people around the world have started renting them out online to earn extra money. They rent their apartments while they are away for the weekend, lend people their cars for money and even sell their spare time.
The sharing economy is the latest example of the Internet’s value to customers. This model is now big enough for regulators and companies to have woken up to it. That is a sign of its great potential. It is time to start caring about sharing.
【1】What does the first paragraph imply?
A. Didi Chuxing can bring down the price of gas.
B. Didi Chuxing has solved the traffic jam in China.
C. Didi Chuxing is helpful to environment.
D. Didi Chuxing is the best transport service in China.
【2】What does the underlined word “assets” in Paragraph 3 probably mean?
A. Possessions. B. Services.
C. Houses. D. Cars.
【3】What is the purpose of the passage?
A. To stress the importance of online services.
B. To introduce the “sharing economy”.
C. To advertise a new means of transport.
D. To explain the benefits of using Didi.

【题目】How to Improve Speed Reading Skills
Speed reading is one of many skills that can improve your reading comprehension and shorten your study time. 【1】.
Look at groups of words, not single words.
【2】. However, if you can get into the habit of reading groups or chunks of words at one time, then you can read much faster. Start by trying to look at a group of three or four words at once, then work up to looking at an entire line of words. Focus on words that give the sentence meaning, such as the nouns and verbs and pay less attention to the filler words, such as “A, the, and, etc.”
Scan for keywords.
Scanning is a highly effective way of extracting answers from a text without really reading it. If you know exactly what you are looking for—a name, a date, a statistic, or a specific word—you can find it quickly by skipping over large chunks of the text. To scan, first visualize the word, number, or phrase you would like to find. 【3】. The information you are looking for should pop out at you.
【4】.
You can train yourself to read faster by timing yourself as you go. Start by getting your base time. Set a timer for fifteen minutes, and speed read as you normally do. 【5】. Do not count the words, just the pages or paragraphs. Record your figures: for instance, you might write “15min/6.5 pages.”
A. Then, run your eyes rapidly over the text
B. Race the clock
C. Check your comprehension
D. If you read a text one word at a time, then this will slow your reading speed way down
E. Here are some Speed Reading Techniques
F. One of the reasons you read slowly is that you have to pause sometimes to understand what a passage is saying
G. When the timer goes off, check to see how far you have got

【题目】At 13, Hawa Abdulai Yorke left her family’s home, in Ghana, Africa, to live with an aunt who promised to send her to school. Instead, the aunt put Yorke to work as her maid(佣人). Determined to go to school, Yorke returned home and began selling water in a nearby city to raise money for her education. However, her father spent the money she had earned on a motorcycle.
Yorkers story is familiar to girls growing up in Ghana. There, a girl’s place is in the home. Educating girls is considered a waste of money.
“It happens more than it should, where parents have money to send their girls to school but choose not to,” says Ryan Roach, a volunteer in Ghana, where nearly 55% of girls are not allowed to attend secondary school. Cultural beliefs say education is not a wise investment (投资).
The White House’s Let Girls Learn is working to change this view of girls’ education, in Ghana and in countries worldwide. Former First Lady Michelle Obama says parents have to be persuaded that girls’ education is a better investment than household labor. A study shows that for every year of secondary-school education, a girl’s earning power increases by 18%. Today, Let Girls Learn works in 13 countries, and there are plans to expand the program. Recently, Let Girls Learn hosted a 24-hour event to come up with creative solutions for the barriers (障碍) to girls’ education.
Yorke, now 22, is about to finish high school. Thanks to Let Girls Learn, she plans to attend college and study computer science. She says working alongside college students at the Let Girls Learn event strengthened her determination. “I’m focused on my books,” says Yorke. “I know if I study hard, I, too, can go to university and live a happy life.”
【1】What was the attitude of Yorkers aunt towards girls attending school?
A. She was against it. B. She had no idea of it.
C. She was in favor of it. D. She considered it hard work.
【2】According to Ryan Roach, the reason for girls not receiving enough education is that
A. they are too busy to go to school
B. their families are too poor to afford it
C. there are few secondary schools for girls
D. cultural beliefs prevent girls from attending school
【3】What can we learn about Let Girls Learn?
A. It has spread all over the world.
B. It is a Ghana-based organization.
C. It aims to offer free education to girls.
D. It has got support from Michelle Obama
【4】What’s Yorke’s next plan?
A. To further her studies.
B. To join in Let Girls Learn.
C. To write some books for girls.
D. To get a computer-related job.

【题目】阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项中，选出最佳选项。
C
There are an extremely large number of ants worldwide. Each individual ant hardly weigh anything, but together they weigh almost the same as all of mankind. They also live nearly everywhere, except on frozen mountain tops or around the Antarctic. For animals their size, ants have been surprisingly successful, largely due to their wonderful social conduct.
In groups that vary in size from a few hundred to tens of millions, they organize their lives with a clear distribution of labor. Even more amazing is how they achieve this level of organization. While we use sound and sight to communicate, ants depend mostly on pheromone (信息素), which is a kind of chemical released by individuals and smelled or tasted by fellow members of a group. When an ant finds food, it produces a pheromone that will lead others straight to where the food is. When an ant comes under attack or is dying, it sends out an alarm pheromone to warn the whole group to prepare for a defensive fight.
In fact, when it comes to the art of war, ants have no equal. They are completely fearless and will take on an animal much larger than themselves, attacking in large groups and beating their target. They show so much devotion to their group that not only soldier ants but also worker ants will sacrifice their lives to help defeat an enemy.
United and devoted, these little animals have survived on the earth for more than 140 million years, far longer than dinosaurs. Because they think as one, they have a united intelligence greater than you would expect from one small individual ant.
（1）We can learn from the passage that ants are __________.
A.unwilling to share food
B.more successful than mankind
C.not used to living in cold environment
D.too many to achieve any organization
（2）Ants can use pheromones for __________.
A.tasting food
B.communication
C.warning enemies
D.arranging labor
（3）What does the underlined expression "take on" in Paragraph 3 mean?
A.Help out.
B.Give in to.
C.Show favor to.
D.Fight against.
（4）Ants have survived for so long mainly because of ____________.
A.their social cooperation
B.their large group size
C.their fearless attack
D.their individual intelligence

Do you want to worry less? Of course you do, right? That’s like me asking if I could send you free bacon. Worry is like black mold — it appears in damp conditions and spreads uncontrollably. And often times we don’t realize it’s there until it’s killing us. We must get rid of worry before it destroys us. But how? 【1】
Do What You Need to Do.
【2】 You ought not to avoid tough projects or hard conversions until the last moment. If you don’t do what you should be doing, you will end up spending the rest of the time worrying about the must-do things. Believe it or not, the anxiety that comes from worrying is much worse than the task we’re worried about.
Get Intentional.
I think many of us act like we’re puppets in a play and we’re waiting for something or someone to put us in the right place. You just react to whatever is going on. We need to stop letting life just happen. We need to live on purpose. 【3】
【4】
You can’t have intentionality without making plans. Making plans will enable you to achieve your aims more smoothly. Yet, don’t place your plans in stone. You can adjust your plans flexibly. Accept changes. Make new plans. 【5】
There are other ways to lessen worry. As long as you are determined to take action, you will live a worry-free life.
A. Worry ruins creativity.
B. Make
C. Do what you should be doing.
D. Here are some effective ways to deal with it.
E. Then move forward.
F. You do the same as people around you do.
G. Nothing can cause worry like purposelessness.
