第三部分 阅读理解（共12小题；每小题2分，满分24分）
请认真阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出最佳选项， 并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。
A
In March, many people in cities like Beijing and Shanghai received this kind of cellphone message: Come and ride our bike for free! These messages are part of the battle between bike-sharing companies Ofo and Mobike. Both of the companies are trying to attract more users and the competition is still going on.
Since the introduction of Mobike in Shanghai last April, China has seen a trend (潮流) of riding shared bikes to schools, workplaces or to go sightseeing. However, this boom across the country also caused many problems such as illegal (违规) parking, vandalism (故意破坏) and
stealing.
For example, in the East Lake scenic area of Wuhan last month, many shared bikes were thrown into a ditch (沟) full of rubbish. Most of the bikes were damaged. 26. Where can you possibly find this passage? A. In a story book. C. In a newspaper.
B. In an instruction book. D. In an advertisement.
27. What's the main idea of the book?
A. There are two bike-sharing companies fighting each other. B. More and more people like to go out by sharing-bike. C. The sharing-bike market has many problems.
D. It's impossible for people to take care of sharing-bikes as their own ones. B
Airbnb, the American apartment rental (租赁) company, released its Chinese name last month. It is “Aibiying (爱彼迎)”, meaning “to welcome each other with love”. The name has been met with laughter in China, although it means something good. The Chinese name is just hard to pronounce and sounds strange!
It's not easy for companies to come up with a good brand (品牌) name. But it's even more difficult to translate it into Chinese. “Foreign companies have to understand there is meaning in Chinese characters. It's not like English where you can take letters and mix them together to make different sounds,” Tait Lawton from Nanjing Marketing Group told CNN. “The wrong name will just give the wrong impression.”
But some brands have done great jobs. Coca-Cola is a good example. Its Chinese name “kekou kele (可口可乐) ” means “delicious fun” and stays true to the original English. On top of that, part of the name sounds like the Chinese word for “thirsty”.
British bank HSBC also came up with a clever one, “hui feng (汇丰)”, which suggests (暗示) “profitable (利益丰厚的) business exchanges”. A direct translation for HSBC, Hong Kong and Shanghai Banking Corporation, wouldn't have worked in China. It sounds like every other local bank, instead of a global big company, according to Vladimir Djurovic from Labbrand, a company that helps brand foreign companies in China. “There is no absolute (绝对的) rule (when choosing a good Chinese name). The right name will always depend on a couple of things,” he said. 28. People don't like the Chinese name of Aibiying because _____.
a. it doesn't have a good meaning b. it's difficult to pronounce c. it sounds strange
d. it doesn't follow translation rules A. ab
B. bc
C. cd
D. ad
29. What does Tait Lawton tell us?
A. Chinese is the most difficult language to learn. B. Foreign companies know little about Chinese characters. C. The wrong name will bring bad luck to the company. D. Differences between languages make the translation hard.
30. Why does the writer think HSBC's Chinese name “hui feng” is a good one?
A. Because it expresses the meaning of the original English. B. Because it sounds like its English pronunciation. C. Because it sounds like a big local bank. D. Because it has a good meaning.
C
A new bus in Singapore is making headlines (成为新闻热点) for a strange reason. It is what is written on the signs inside the bus that has people talking. The signs are written in Singlish!
Quite different from the English we are familiar with, the signs read, for example, “Here cannot go in” instead of “You cannot go in from here”, and “Here can charge (给……充电) phone” instead of “You can charge your phone here”.
English is one of the official languages in Singapore. But the English Singaporeans use in their daily lives is far from standard English and earns it the name “Singlish”. In Singapore, migrants (移民) from many countries, including China, India and Malaysia, all speak their own versions (版本) of “English”. The New York Times calls Singlish a “patchwork (拼凑品)”.
For example, in Singlish you can easily find influences from Chinese. Singaporeans use Chinese sentence structures like “Toilet where?” instead of “Where is the toilet?”. They also add words like “leh” and “meh” at the end of a sentence to show their mood (情绪). This comes from Cantonese.
Though it may seem interesting, Singlish is worrying Sinagapore's government. It thinks that Singlish may hurt people's ability to speak standard English and make it hard for them to communicate with foreigners. The government even started the Speak Good English Movement in 2000.
But the movement didn't seem to work very well, especially among young people. The youth think Singlish is cool and a way to show they are Singaporeans. Besides, many can speak both standard English and Singlish. “We are a nation good at code-switching (语码转换),” wrote Cheryl Lu-Lien Tan, a Singaporean author, in Time magazine. 31. What made the bus in Singapore become a hot topic?
A. Its strange and different shape. B. Strange service for its passengers. C. Singlish on the signs inside the bus. D. Strange-shaped signs inside the bus. 32. The examples in the second paragraph tell us _____.
A. how English is spoken in Singapore B. how to speak English well in Singapore C. why English in Singapore is different
D. what to do to speak good English 33. What do Singaporeans think of Singlish?
A. The government is proud of it.
B. The government encourages its people to create more. C. Young people started the Speak Good English Movement. D. Young people like Singlish and think it's cool.
D
The way we spend our time can be divided into three groups, or “jars”. These would be the necessary tasks jar, the voluntary tasks jar and the happiness jar.
Every day, we spend time filling the necessary tasks jar. We fill this jar with useful things, like earning money, housework, buying food and paying bills. We then fill another jar with voluntary tasks. These are things that we do for others, but we may not enjoy them. This jar gets filled with tasks like taking children to activities, cooking family meals, and doing cleaning. Those jars are very important. If we don't fill them each day, our households (家庭) won't run properly.
However, we often forget to fill the third jar - the happiness jar. This is the jar that we fill with activities that make us happy. Is your happiness jar sometimes empty at the end of the day? We all have days like that. Between doing all the necessary and voluntary tasks, time flies by on some days, and before we know it, it is time for bed.
That is why each day we have to make an effort to fill our happiness jar. Most days, I fill mine by going to ballroom dance (社交舞) class with my husband and daughter. Between the music, the dancing and the friendship among the students, I always leave classes happier than when I entered.
Music is another way that I fill my happiness jar. This week, I had the pleasure of taking part in an orchestra (管弦乐队) practice at my church. Our church isn't large, but we are blessed with a lot of musical talent. A small group of us met to practice Christmas music for a church service. It was a time of fun, fellowship (友谊) and music-making. At the end of the evening, my happiness jar was filled to overflowing.
This week, consider how your time is being spent. Are you doing enough activities that bring joy to your life? Or are the necessary and voluntary tasks eating up all your time? Try to find ways to achieve a balance between how you are filling your three jars. At the end of the day, hopefully we've done all we can to make sure that our happiness jar is filled. 34. According to the first three paragraphs, we can infer that ______.
A. necessary and voluntary tasks are more important than happiness B. voluntary tasks are those we do for others with pleasure and joy C. time goes quicker when we do the first two tasks than the third D. doing the first two tasks often leaves us no time to fill the third jar 35. Which of the following is TRUE about the author?
A. She is always unhappy when she attends the dance club. B. She does something to make herself happy every single day.
C. Dancing and music are the two usual ways that she makes herself happy. D. She takes her husband and daughter to dance club in order to make them happy. 36. What can we know from Paragraphs 4 and 5?
A. The author took a class at church to practice music. B. The author finds friendship is important for her happiness.
C. The author was invited to attend an orchestra as she is good at singing. D. The author was going to give a performance at Christmas. 37. The author wrote this article mainly to _____.
A. tell readers how to relax in daily life B. tell readers the best way to use their time
C. remind readers to take time to make themselves happy D. stress the importance of necessary and voluntary tasks

Most people know that students who go to school by bus or car are more likely to put on weight than those who walk or cycle. But did you know that exercising less could also make you fall behind in your schoolwork?
Two Danish universities recently carried out a study of 19,527 students between the ages of 5 and 19. The students were asked how they traveled to school and were then given a test. It was found that the students who were driven to school, or took a bus, performed worse in the test because they had poorer concentration (集中注意力) than those who took a more active way.
“As a third-grade pupil, if you exercise and cycle to school, your ability to concentrate increases to the equivalent (同等) of someone half a year further in their studies,” said Niels Egelund, a member of the study.
Depending too much on cars is also a problem for adults. British people are much lazier these “This creates a huge illness problem and lowers their quality of life, but most people don’t days. They are walking 80 miles less every year than ten years ago, a new study found.
seem to know that it’s a problem,” said Harry Rutter from the National Obesity Observatory, UK. “A lack (缺少) of physical activity is the fourth main cause of early deaths around the world and causes about the same level of ill health that smoking does.”
53. Why do students driven to school often do worse in their schoolwork than those on foot or cycling?
54. What is Niels Egelund’s opinion on cycling to school?
55. Will you ride or walk to school after reading the passage? Why or why not?

Now Internet shopping is more and more popular in the world. It’s a new way of shopping. It has lots of advantages. It is convenient and you can shop whenever you like because the online shops are open 24 hours a day. There are so many goods online that it is easy to find the things that you can’t buy in the shop. Besides, the price is much lower.
However, “ Every coin has two sides.” So does Internet shopping. You can’t see the material objects or check their quality. Usually the pictures are more beautiful than the goods. So when we get the goods and don’t like them, sometimes it’s not easy to give them back. What’s more, it’s not safe to pay through the internet.
In my opinion, Internet shopping is easy and fast but we should be more careful.
