    Online grocery shopping was counted as the next great innovation to make our lives easier. In China more than 3,000 websites offer the service, but none have turned a profit.
    Xiang Nian has had a hard day at the office but at least she can skip the trip to the grocery store. A text message on her phone lets her know the order she placed earlier in the day has been delivered to a locker outside her apartment.
    "It’s really convenient for an office worker like me. My fresh products are waiting for me when I get home and can start cooking. No need to go to the supermarket any more," Xiang says.
    One of the largest online supermarkets in Wuhan is Just-easy Fresh Produce. Over the past 3 years, the company has developed its online retail grocery business by guaranteeing fresh produce and an innovative delivery system. They've installed thousands of lockers in communitieshttp:// / around downtown Wuhan.
    "We get an average of 8,000 orders per day. That's the most in China, I'm proud of it. We have placed over 20 thousand lockers in more than half of the communities in Wuhan and we plan to expand to all of them. Many e-commerce giants, like Taobao, are talking about cooperation with us," Jie Xiaofeng, manager of Wuhan Just-easy Agricultural Science & Technology Co., says.
    While Just-easy may have thousands of customers, a staff of almost 300 and 40 delivery trucks, it's still operating in the red.
    "There are over 3,000 companies selling fresh products online in China. But none is making a profit. It will take them at least 3 years before they make a profit. The major challenge is the cost of delivery. But they do have many advantages. The price of their goods is lower than the supermarkets," professor He Dehua at Huazhong Agricultural University, says.
    A number of China's e-commerce giants are making moves into online grocery sales, with Taobao opening an online platform it calls "Cainiao". And traditional retailers(零售店) including Wal-Mart and Carrefour are also looking to start selling their produce online.
    Many big B2C e-commerce players usually take fresh farm produce as the last category to add to their offerings. But now more and more large businesses have set their eyes on the industry. They want to prove the fresh food market is definitely suited to online sales.

    试题分析：文章介绍了网上购买新鲜农贸产品是快捷、方便、便宜的，但至少三年才会产生利润，目前各网络销售新鲜农贸公司都没有盈利。
    小题1:推理题：根据文章第一段第二句“In China more than 3,000 websites offer the service, but none have turned a profit.”在中国超过3000的网站提供的服务,但都没有盈利。由此可知在线销售新鲜农贸产品公司不会有盈利。故选D。

    Pop stars today enjoy what once only belonged to the royalty(皇室)．Wherever they go，people turn out in their thousands to greet them.The crowds go wild trying to catch a brief glimpse of their smiling，colorfully dressed idols.The stars are transported in their chauffeur driven Rolls Royces，private helicopters or executive aeroplanes.They are surrounded by a permanent entourage(随从)of managers，press agents and bodyguards.Photographs of them appear regularly in the press and all their comings and goings are reported，for，like royalty，pop stars are news.If they enjoy many of the privileges of royalty，they certainly share many of the inconveniences as well.It is dangerous for them to make unscheduled appearances in public.They must be constantly shielded from the adoring crowds who idolize them.They are no longer private individuals，but public property.The financial rewards they receive for this sacrifice cannot be calculated，for their rates of pay are great.

    And why not？Society has always rewarded its top entertainers lavishly.The great days of Hollywood have become legendary：famous stars enjoyed fame，wealth and adulation(奉承)on an all time scale.By today's standards，the excesses of Hollywood do not seem quite so spectacular.A single gramopphone record nowadays may earn much more in royalties than the films of the past ever did.The competition for the title“Top of the Pops”is fierce，but the rewards are truly huge.
    It is only right that the stars should be paid in this way.Don't the top men in industry earn enormous salaries for the service they perform to their companies and their countries？Pop stars earn vast sums in foreign currency—often more than large industrial companies—and the taxman can only be grateful for their massive annual contributions to the exchequer(国库)．So who would begrudge them their rewards?
    It's all very well for people in boring jobs to complain about the successes and rewards of others.People who make envious remarks should remember that the most famous stars represent only the tip of the iceberg.For every famous star，there are hundreds of others struggling to earn a living.A man working in a steady job and looking forward to a pension at the end of it has no right to expect very high rewards.He has chosen security and peace of mind，so there will always be a limit to what he can earn.But a map who attempts to become a star is taking enormous risks.He knows at the outset that only a handful of competitors ever get to the very top.He knows that years of concentrated effort may be rewarded with complete failure.But he knows，too，that the rewards for success are very high indeed：they are the payback for the huge risks involved and once he makes it，he will certainly earn them.That's the essence of private enterprise.
    小题1:The author develops the passage mainly by ________.
    A．comparing different ideas
    B．giving explanations
    C．inferring
    D．listing typical examples
    小题2:The underlined word “begrudge” in the third pararaph is closest in meaning to ________.

    Parties and social gatherings no longer excite us the same way they once did. This is not due to a lack of desire to socialize, but the smartphone.
    At parties, more people are on their smartphones than on their drinks. According to a recent International Data Corporation study, well over half of all Americans have a smartphone and reach for it the moment they wake up, keeping it in hand all day. In addition, too much of society is using smartphones while driving and as a result getting into car crashes. 34 percent of teens admit to text while driving, and they confirm that text messaging is their number one driving interruption. People's attachment to their smartphones is unbelievably becoming more important than the lives of themselves and others.
    Just as drivers dismiss the importance of focusing while on the road, many people also fail to recognize the significance of human interaction. When with their friends, some people pointlessly check or send text messages in the presence of a friend, which sends a message to that friend: the person I am texting is more important than you. In addition, relying on our smartphone to make friends does not give us the same advantage as being able to make new friendships in the real world. Face-to-face conversations will give us much stronger communication skills in the long run.
    As many people risk their lives and the lives of people around them just to send a text or mindlessly check their massages, smartphones are in many ways more dangerous to people. The quality of this technology is de-advancing societal achievements and weakening the value of communication. Not only is the smartphone affecting our desire to interact (交流) face-to-face but it is also lowering society's ability to communicate.
    小题1:The purpose of this text is to ______.
    A．call for an end to use the smartphone while driving
    B．appeal to us to pay attention to communication skills
    C．express a concern about the overuse of the smartphone
    D．advise us to be cautious about the addiction to the smartphone
    小题2:The second paragraph is developed by ______.
    A．giving examplesB．listing figuresC．comparing facts D．analyzing the effects
    小题3:The author advocates us to make new friends ______.
    A．by using smartphones B．in a face-to-face way
    C．in different waysD．under a free circumstance
    小题4:Over dependence on the smartphone leads to the fact that ______.
    A．parties and gatherings limit their social circle
    B．people are more and more narrow-minded
    C．people's communication skills are weakened
    D．face-to-face communication becomes less important

    People are being lured(引诱) onto Facebook with the promise of a fun, free service, and don’t realize that they’re paying for it by giving up loads of personal information. Facebook then attempts to make money by selling their data（资料） to advertisers that want to send targeted (目标的)messages.
    Most Facebook users don’t realize this is happening. Even if they know what the company is up to, they still have no idea what they’re paying for Facebook, because people don’t really know what their personal details are worth.
    The biggest problem, however, is that the company keeps changing the rules. Early on, you could keep everything private. That was the great thing about Facebook—you could create your own little private network. Last year, the company changed its privacy rules so that many things—your city, your photo, your friends’ names—were set, by default（默认）, to be shared with everyone on the Internet.
    According to Facebook’s vice president Elliot Schrage, the company is simply making changes to improve its service, and if people don’t share information, they have a “less satisfying experience.”
    Some critics think this is more about Facebook looking to make more money. Its original business model, which involved selling ads and putting them at the side of the page, totally failed. Who wants to look at ads when they’re online connecting with their friends?
    The privacy issue has already landed Facebook in hot water in Washington. In April, Senator Charles Schumer called on Facebook to change its privacy policy. He also urged the Commission to set guidelines for social-networking sites. “I think the senators rightly communicated that we had not been clear about what the new products were and how people could choose to use them or not to use them,” Schrage admits.
    I suspect that whatever Facebook has done so far to invade（侵犯）our privacy, it’s only the beginning，which is why I’m considering deactivating（撤销） my account(账号). Facebook is a handy site, but I’m upset by the idea that my information is in the hands of people I don’t trust. That is too high a price to pay.
    小题1:What do we learn about Facebook from the first paragraph?
    A．It is a website that sends messages to targeted users.
    B．It makes money by putting on advertisements.
    C．It earns money by selling its user’s personal data
    D．It provides a lot of information to its users
    小题2:What does the author say about most Facebook users?
    A．They don’t know their personal data enriches Facebook
    B．They are unwilling to give up their personal information
    C．They don’t identify themselves when using website
    D．They care very little about their personal information
    小题3:Why does Facebook make changes to its rules according to Elliot Schrage?
    A．To help its users make more friends
    B．To obey the Federal guidelines
    C．To make money by attracting more users
    D．To offer better service to its users
    小题4:What does Senator Charles Schumer argue for?
    A．Setting guidelines for advertising on websites
    B．Setting rules for social-networking sites
    C．Stopping sharing user’s personal information
    D．Removing ads from all social-networking sites
    小题5:Why does the author plan to stop using his Facebook account?
    A．He is dissatisfied with its service.
    B．He finds many of its users untrustworthy.
    C．He doesn’t want his personal data badly used.
    D．He is upset by its frequent rule changes.

    Travel Unaccompanied
    Now many young people are traveling around the world on their own, not because they have no one to travel with, but because they prefer to go alone．
    Kristina Wegscheider from California first traveled alone when she was at college and believes that it is something everyone should do at least once in their life. “It opens up your mind to new things and pushes you out of your comfort zone.” Wegscheider has visited 46 countries covering all seven continents．
    In foreign countries, with no one to help you read a map, look after you if you get ill, or lend you money if your wallet is stolen. It is challenging. This is what drives young people to travel alone．It is seen as character building and a chance to prove that they can make it on their own．
    Chris Richardson decided to leave his sales job in Australia to go traveling last year．He set up a website, The Aussie Nomad, to document his adventures. He said he wished he had traveled alone earlier. “The people you meet, the places you visit, or the things you do, everything is up to you and it forces you to grow as a person,” said the 30-year-old．
    Richardson describes traveling alone like “a shot in the arm”, which “makes you a more confident person that was ready to deal with anything”. He said: “The feeling of having conquered something on my own is a major part of what drives me each day when I’m dealing with a difficult task. I walk around with my head up because I know deep down inside that nothing is impossible if you try.”
    The great 19th century explorer John Muir once said: “Only by going alone in silence can one truly get into the heart of the wilderness.”

    “I pity the empress. Poor empress.” “Do you think Zhen Huan really loves the emperor?” From campuses to offices, from shopping malls to the streets, talk about Legend of Zhen Huan is everywhere.
    Unlike other long TV series, Legend of Zhen Huan, the 76-episode Qing dynasty drama series, has kept attracting new audiences along the way. It has enjoyed widespread popularity on the Chinese mainland over the past months.
    The story is seemingly the same as those dramas which look into the lives of women in the imperial palace. It focuses on plots and intrigues(阴谋) within the Inner Palace during Emperor Yongzheng’s reign.
    The heroine, Zhen Huan, initially a kind and innocent young lady, enters the emperor’s harem(后宫) of concubines. Discovering that the palace is a cruel and harsh place, Zhen learns how to survive on her own.
    　 However, Legend of Zhen Huan seems to arouse more discussion than any drama series. Why? Some experts say it’s because it’s a well-made series from inside out.
    Niu Hanting, deputy editor-in-chief of Art Panorama magazine, told Xinhua News Agency that the sets, props and costumes are carefully chosen. And the screenplay and dialogue are well-written. “The series takes care of every detail a good period drama should have,” Niu said. “From that aspect, it’s no coincidence that Zhen Huan could be big.” More importantly, Niu added, the TV series strikes a chord among audiences in different ways. “For example, as a woman, Zhen is hurt by the man she once loved. And as a newcomer to the palace, she finds herself caught in the fierce infighting and she has to survive,” Niu said, “Everyone may find themselves in Zhen’s position at a certain point.”
    Then it’s not hard to understand why the story of Zhen Huan is even seen as a survival guide for newcomers in the workplace. Its director, Zheng Xiaolong, once admitted that in terms of society today, the “promotion” of Zhen Huan reflects a person’s career path in some way. “Whether the principles can be applied in today’s society, or not, I want to make the story as real as possible,” Zheng told Sina.com. “There are many fairytale-like series that make audiences ignore or avoid reality, and the complexity of humanity.” “But Legend of Zhen Huan, is a series that makes you think.”
    小题1:What’s the main idea of the first paragraph?
    A．People have pity on the empress.
    B．Zhen Huan really loves the emperor.
    C．Legend of Zhen Huan is very popular.
    D．Legend of Zhen Huan is shown everywhere.
    小题2: What does the underlined word “it” in paragraph 3 most probably refer to?
    A．The imperial palace.
    B．The life of women.
    C．Emperor Yongzheng’s reign.
    D．The story of Zhen Huan.
    小题3:When Legend of Zhen Huan finds the palace is a cruel one, she ______.
    A．learns to survive on her own
    B．asks others for advice
    C．feels down and disappointed
    D．becomes an innocent young lady
    小题4:We can learn from Niu Hanting that she ______.
    A．thinks Zhen has had effects on newcomers
    B．makes little of Legend of Zhen Huan
    C．speaks highly of Legend of Zhen Huan

    Have you thought about what determines the way we are as we grow up? Remember the TV program Seven Up ? It started following the lives of a group of children in 1963. We first meet them as wide-eyed seven-year-olds and then catch up with them at seven-year intervals (间隔 )  : nervous  14-year-olds , serious  21-year-olds , then  grown-ups.
    Some of the stories are inspiring ,others sad ,but what is interesting in almost all the cases is the  way  in which  the  children's early hopes and dreams are  shown  in their future lives, for example ,at seven ,Tony is a lively child who says he wants to become a sportsman or a taxi driver. When he grows up, he goes on to do both.  How about Nicki ,who says, "I'd like to find out about the moon. " and goes on to become a space scientist.  As a child, soft - spoken Bruce says he wants to help "poor children" and ends up teaching in India.
    But if the lives of all the children had followed this pattern, the program would be far less interesting than it actually was. It was the children whose childhood did not prepare them for what was to come that made the program so inspiring. Where did their ideas come from about what they wanted to do when they grew up? Are children influenced by what their parents do ,by what they see on television ,or by what their teachers say? How great is the effect of a single important event? Many film directors ,including Stephen Spielberg ,say that an early visit to the cinema was the turning point in their lives.  Dr. Magaret  Mc Allister ,who has done a lot of research in this area ,thinks that the major influences are parents , friends and the wider society.
    小题1:What does the text mainly discuss?
    A．New ways to make a TV program interesting.
    B．The importance of television programs to children.
    C．Different ways to make childhood dreams come true.
    D．The influence of childhood experience on future lives.
    小题2:In the TV program Seven Up ,we can meet______.
    A．different groups of people at different periods of their lives
    B．different groups of people at the same period of their lives
    C．the same group of people at different periods of their lives
    D．the same group of people at the same period of their lives
    小题3: What are the examples in paragraph 2 meant to show?
    A．Many people's childhood hopes are related to their future jobs.
    B．There are many poor children in India who need help.
    C．Children have different dreams about their future.
    D．A lot of people are very sad in their childhood.
    小题4:Spielberg's story is meant to show that_______.
    A．going to a movie at an early age helps a child learn about society
    B．a single childhood event may decide what one does as a grown-up
    C．parents and friends can help a child grow up properly
    D．films have more influence on a child than teachers do

    Traditional fairytales are being abandoned by parents because they are too horrible for their young children, a study found.
    Research revealed one in five parents dislike old classics such as Snow White and the Seven Dwarves and Rapunzel and are in favor of more modern books. One third of parents said their children have been left in tears after hearing the horrible details of Little Red Riding Hood. And nearly half of mothers and fathers refuse to read Rumplestiltskin to their kids as the themes of the story are about kidnapping and crimes. Similarly, Goldilocks and the Three Bears was also a tale likely to be left on the book shelf as parents felt it forgives stealing.
    The survey of 2,000 adults was conducted to mark the launch of the hit US drama GRIMM, which starts tonight at 9pm on Watch, and sees six episodes based on traditional fairytales. The survey found a quarter of parents questioned wouldn’t consider reading a fairytale to their child until they had reached the age of five, as they prompt too many awkward questions from their children.
    Steve Hornsey, General Manager of Watch, said: “Bedtime stories are supposed to calm down children and send them off to sleep soundly. But as we see in GRIMM, fairytales can be dark and dramatic tales so it’s understandable that parents worry about reading them to young children.”
    “As adults we can see the innocence in fairytales, but a five-year-old child with an over active imagination could take things too seriously. Despite the dark nature of classic fairytales, as we see in GRIMM, good will triumph over evil and there is always a moral to the story.”
    The study also found two thirds of mums and dads try to avoid stories which might give their children nightmares.
    However, half of parents said traditional tales are more likely to have a strong moral message than a lot of modern kids’ books, such as The Gruffalo, The Hungary Caterpillar and the Mr. Men books.
    小题1:Why don’t some parents want to read Rumplestiltskin to their kids?
    A．Rumplestiltskin forgives stealing
    B．Rumplestiltskin is too difficult
    C．Rumplestiltskin is too long
    D．Rumplestiltskin may have bad influence on Children
    小题2:We can learn from paragraph 3 that Grimm is _____.
    A．a fairytales book
    B．a movie for children
    C．a play loved by children
    D．a drama based on traditional fairytales
    小题3:Which of the following may Steve Hornsey agree to?
    A．There is a moral to a classic fairytale.
    B．Fairytales are dark.
    C．Adults take fairytales too seriously.
    D．Fairytales are not good for children's sleep.
    小题4:What’s the author’s attitude towards traditional fairytales?
    A．OptimisticB．Not mentionedC．CasualD．Disapproving
