He moved in the day after we did. He was light brown, and was very thin and serious. Solly hadn't always been so thin. He’d been out of work for a year, supporting an extended family.‎ ‎“ My wife says I must buy new clothes，”he said. “My church clothes are falling off me. But I told her. Don' t worry. I'll get fat again. Now I have a job." This news kept our family buzzing (低声谈话） through quite a few meal times. My kids announced they were going to bake for him every day. And so every evening my husband and children began delivering food to Solly.‎ Just outside our gate, all down Jabu Ndlovu Street, as the day begins to fade, security guards take their places. They’re cheerful. And they sleep right through their shifts. No one expects a security guard to stay awake. That’s why the whole street knew Solly. He not only stayed awake, but also walked around to check the block, picked up litter, and knocked on doors and asked residents to turn their music down.‎ Then one night, a car ran into a cyclist. Solly saw the crash. He saw the driver drive away. For two hours, Solly helped the rider, the police, and the ambulance personnel. The next day, some residents complained: Solly wasn't at the gate last night. Solly wasn’t doing his job. After the whole story came out, Solly kept his job.‎ After a month, Solly was not getting any fatter. He lived far from the city. His taxi ride to work each day cost him one-third of his salary, so we got him a used bike. But he wouldn’t take it until he saved the money. A few weeks later, he fetched the bike, “My wife thinks I'm joking ----a bike for this price”, he said with a smile on his face. "I ll ride home and surprise her." I wondered if his wife would smile too.‎ ‎24. Why did Solly’s wife think he needed new clothes?‎ ‎ A. His clothes didn't suit him any more. B. He was getting fatter and fatter.‎ ‎ C. His clothes were shabby. D. He didn’t like his old clothes any more.‎ ‎25. What made Solly different from other guards?‎ ‎ A. His skin color. B. His lovable character.‎ ‎ C. His friendly manner. D. His hard work.‎ ‎26. When did the author see solly smile?‎ ‎ A. After she told him a joke. B. When she gave him a free bike. ‎ ‎ C. After he got a cheap bike. D. When he knew he’d keep his job.‎ ‎27. Which word can best describe the author’s family?‎ ‎ A. Intelligent B. Kind-hearted C. Courageous D. Strong-minded C When he was a schoolboy, Liu Cixin ’s favourite book was Journey to the Centre of the Earth by Jules Verne. He found the book hidden in an old box that once belonged to his father. "This very book turned me into a sci-fi fan ", Liu says.‎ His first novel, The Devils Bricks, came out in 2000, but it wasn’t until 2006 that he had his breakthrough with The Three-Body Problem. The Three-Body Problem was brought to a western audience by Tor Books in New York in 2013. It was translated by Ken Liu. In his translator’ s note, Ken writes: “The Chinese people literary tradition shaped and was shaped by its readers, giving rise to different emphases（强调） and preferences in fiction compared to what American readers expect,”‎ What western readers expect of Chinese science fiction is a curious topic. Western eyes have a tendency to view China as a country full of mystery. But Liu says it’s a mistake to think that Chinese sci-fi doesn’t share common points with its western equivalents（同等物）． “All themes once explored in the American and European sci-fi genre （类型） can be found in the Chinese counterpart----things like space exploration, alien contact, artificial intelligence, and life science. Yet Chinese sci-fi does have its own unique themes as well, such as the attempt to re-display the ancient history of China from a sci-fi angle.”‎ Liu remains mildly surprised by the success of The Three-body Problem outside China. "All we had hoped for was just to let American readers become aware that there is sci-fi in China. Now that it has been accepted by readers in the UK and the US, it supports an idea I once had: sci-fi is the most global, the most universal of literary forms, which can be understood by all cultures. Sci-fi novels are concerned with problems faced by all of humanity. This is a unique and treasurable quality in the genre ---that the human race is recognized as a single entin（存在）, undivided,＂ Liu says.‎ ‎28. What did the book Journey to the Centre of the Earth mean to Liu?‎ ‎ A. It opened the door to the sci-fi world. B. It told him what science fiction is.‎ ‎ C. It brought some fame to him. D. It inspired him to be a critic.‎ ‎29. How does Ken look at the Chinese literary tradition?‎ ‎ A. It lacks variety. B. It should be well preserved.‎ ‎ C. It is greatly influenced by its audiences. D. It has met western readers’ expectations.‎ ‎30. What is a characteristic of Chinese sci-fi?‎ ‎ A. It has a wide range of themes. B. It is abstract to western readers.‎ ‎ C. It pays more attention to history. D. It is gaining popularity among youths.‎ ‎31. What do Liu's words in the last paragraph show?‎ ‎ A. Chinese sci-fi still has a long way to go ‎ B. Sci-fi novels reflect real-life problems ‎ C. The importance of sci-fi is undervalued ‎ D. Sci-fi should focus primarily on culture D For years now, economists have predicted a gradual move to what is called a “cashless society”. Most payments are already made by putting a plastic card into a machine and entering a PIN code（个人密码), or by simply waving the card in front of the machine. But is a “cashless society” something we should look forward to?‎ Well, for one thing cash is expensive. We often pay fees when we use cash machines -people in the UK together pay almost $6 million a month in cash-machine fees. Cash also spreads disease. Dr Peter Ender, who carried out a study looking at the bacteria on one-dollar bills, claims that"paper money is usually full of bacteria and a dollar bill could, theoretically, be the magic carpet it rides on from one host to another. And of course, there’s always a record of digital money, so it makes it harder for people to steal it.‎ However, some psychologists argue that waving your card in front of a machine doesn’t give us a real sense of paying. Likewise, when we make one click with our mouse when shopping online, it’s easy to forget that the credit card bill will arrive at the end of the month. Basically, with a credit card, we don't feel the"pain of paying”. In a cashless society, we tend to buy more than we need to, because it’s easier to spend and the consequences of our spending are more remote from us.‎ And it's certainly still possible and even easier to cheat and steal in a cashless society. In a psychological test, people were twice as likely not to forgo a dishonest digital payment as a dishonest cash payment. Once again, psychologists suggest that the sense of being remote from payment in a cashless society increased the likelihood of dishonesty.‎ While we might laugh at the idea of our grandparents with money hidden under the mattress（床垫）， maybe the joke is on us. Without doubt，it is a world where we feel distanced from the consequences of the purchases we make. So perhaps we’re more efficient in our cashless society, but are we any happier?‎ ‎32. What can we infer from Dr. Peter Ender’s claim?‎ A. Cash is full of magic. B. Cash is irreplaceable.‎ C. Cash is extremely dirty. D. Cash is expensive to produce.‎ ‎33. What will happen when people use credit cards according to psychologists?‎ A. They will become more honest.‎ B. They will spend more unwisely.‎ C. They will be in pain on the bill's arrival. ‎ D. They will feel distanced from their real life.‎ ‎34. What does the underlined word “forgo” in Paragraph 4 mean? ‎ A. Make B. Afford C. Ignore D .Reject ‎35. What does the text mainly discuss?‎ A. What can cash bring to us? ‎ B. Is it time to give up on cash?‎ C. Is it possible to keep our cash safe? ‎ D. Why do we live in a cashless society?‎ 第二节 （共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）‎ 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。‎ Top tips for students doing voluntary holiday work I have had some of the best and worst experiences of my life doing volunteers projects. Having taken part in a few such programs before, here are some tips I have picked up.‎ 1. ‎ 36 ___ ‎ Many of these schemes are advertised on legal websites, but even these can have hosts who take advantage of them. These people will advertise something that simply isn’t true and when you arrive the arrangement may be different from what you expected.‎ 2.

It's understandable that one may feel worried before going to a totally strange country. But I'm sure you'll have a pleasant time in China.‎ Like other foreign students, it's unavoidable that you know little about China. But honestly speaking, most Chinese are friendly and hospitable, and most Chinese students are warm-hearted and hard-working. Anyone will be willing to lend a hand whenever he finds someone in trouble, especially foreigners. As a result, most foreigners think highly of China's civilization and the Chinese's hospitality. In fact, China has become one of the most attractive countries for tourists in recent years.‎ Seeing is believing. You won't have a better understanding of China unless you're here. I'm looking forward to your coming.‎ ‎ Best wishes!‎ ‎ Yours,‎ ‎ Li Hua
