I looked around and nobody stopped so I just went my way. After a few steps, I turned and asked him whether he needed help. He told me his house was one station further and he would only need to take the train there. So I reached for his hand to help him stand up. He wanted to take the stairs but I feared that he would hurt himself since he seemed too weak to walk, so I asked him to take the elevator. Even though my mind was trying to turn the danger lights on, I put the thought that I should not go alone with a drunken man out of my mind and accompanied him on the elevator. We arrived on the platform with no incidents. The mans knees seemed to soften, so I asked him to rest on a bench. While sitting there, he thanked me, telling me that I saved him. No, I said, I really did nothing; he saved himself as he walked on his own feet. At the next station, we said our goodbyes. Before I knew it, he left 100 dollars and dashed out of the train. There was no way to give him back his money. I wanted to leave it on the seat, but a young woman who thought it belonged to me ran after me and gave me the note. My initial reaction to getting that money was of shame and I even felt offended. Then I thought he just wanted to thank me, the best way he knew how. Now, my question is what act of kindness shall I do with these 100 dollars?24.Why was the man sitting on the subway stations floor? A. Because he wanted to go home. B. Because he was seriously ill.C.

I accompanied the man to take the stairs. C. I thought it unsafe to go alone with the drunken man at first. D. A young woman ran after me and gave me the note.CPangolins (穿山甲) are strange-looking creatures, covered with hard scales (鳞). They can roll up into a ball to protect themselves from enemies and have tongues that are longer than their bodies.Pangolins have recently become the focus of Chinese people. A screenshot (截屏) of a micro blog post showing some people eating pangolins at a feast spread. A few days later, people were angered again by pictures showing people eating protected animals, including pangolins. Yet this is only the tip of the iceberg. Many more pangolins have been hunted or killed. According to the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN), more than 1 million of them have been killed or sold in the last 10 years. It also said that they are the most illegally traded mammals in the world. In September 2016, the IUCN added the pangolin to the worlds “endangered animals list”. They are now more endangered than pandas. A growing trade of their scales and meat is the main reason for their decline in numbers. Many people in Asia and Africa consider pangolin meat is delicious. Some people even think pangolin scales have medical qualities. However, their scales are made of keratin (角蛋白), the same material human fingernails are made of. Luckily, the situation is getting better. World Pangolin Day is on the third Saturday of February each year. Its a day to help people know more about pangolins. The government now stops anyone from buying and eating pangolins in China. Breaking this law is regarded as a crime. The trade of pangolins across the world is also not allowed, according to the Convention on Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora. 28.Pangolins have caught peoples attention these years because _.A. they look strangeB. they appear in some moviesC. they are killed and eaten by peopleD. they have something to do with pandas29.Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage?A. Pangolins can roll up into a ball to attack enemies.B. More than 1 million pangolins were killed or sold last year.C. Pangolins were named the most endanged animal in 2016.D. The pangolin is a kind of mammal.30.The real aim of World Pangolin Day may be to _.A. attract people to the zoo to watch pangolinsB. lift peoples awareness(意识) of protecting pangolinsC. remind people of pangolins medical value.D. explain the law to people31.What might be the authors attitude towards the measures taken to protect pangolins?A. Positive. B. Negative.C. Disappointed. D. Unconcerned.DBargain hunters spent a record of 168.2 billion yuan ($25.3 billion; 21.7 billion euros; 19.3 billion) during the 2017 Singles Day on Nov. 11, the worlds largest daylong discount festival, as e-commerce giant Alibaba Group took online shopping to offline stores and beyond(超越) the nations borders(边界).Spending climbed by 39.3 percent during this years sale, as consumers from 225 countries and regions scooped up goods from 140,000 brands (品牌)that offered promotions during the annual event.Alibaba surpassed last years 120.7 billion yuan total shortly after 1 pm, as overseas shoppers joined in the afternoon, seeking good deals from China. Expanding at a faster-than-expected pace, the total eclipsed (使黯然失色) the combined sales of Black Friday and Cyber Monday in the United States last year. Nine out of ten people used mobile wallet apps for payment, says Alibaba, with its Alipay app having handled 1.48 billion transactions (转账) in 24 hours and processed them at a peak rate of 256,000 transactions per second.Meanwhile, some offline shops also joined in, turning into smart stores that allowed shoppers to track product availability at other locations and get timely delivery to their doorsteps while paying with their phone. “Using big data analytics powered by Chinese tech firms can help us locate customers in a precise manner, something we wouldnt have achieved using old-school retailing,” says Gary Chu, e-commerce general manager.The Nov. 11 shopping event represents a China-branded business model that can also be spread to other countries, creating opportunities for businesses worldwide. As Singles Day grows, shoppers have used the opportunity to try out new items rather than simply bagging a bargain, says Tommy Hong, vice-president of Nielsen China.“That changing attitudes (toward Singles Day) is also consistent with Chinas shifting focus from quantity(数量) to quality growth,” Gary Chu says.32.Which is the main factor(因素) that contributed to the new record on the 2017 Singles Day?A. The creativity of the brands.B. The low discount of the goods.C. The participation of shoppers abroad.D. The improved quality of the products.33. The underlined phrase in the second paragraph can probably be replaced by _.A. boughtB. promotedC. advertised D. produced34. Whats the main idea of the fifth paragraph?A. The spread of Chinese brands.B. The global financial situation.C. The invention of business model.D. The importance of the Singles Day.35.What can be learnt from the text?A. Alibaba earned 168.2 billion yuan in 2017.B. Black Friday in the USA is also on November 11th.C. Most consumers preferred mobile wallet apps to pay.D. Foreign shoppers spent more during the 2017 Singles Day.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。College is the time when youre expected to focus on your path in life. But its also the time youre the least equipped to have any long-term plan. 36 . The whole process can be divided into three stages. The first is “gathering fuel”. This means building up your skills, learning from different experiences and developing a network of people who you trust and who trust you. And this is a stage that requires patience and a willingness to identify your own weaknesses and work on them. If you complete this stage with a growing sense of what you love to do and what you are good at, 37 . The second stage is “burning fuel”. This is the time to improve the skills youve obtained through experiences, the people youve met along the way and the recognition of what you should do. 38 . We want to get where were going in a hurry, but that hardly works. 39 . Simply speaking, its about staying strong, while turning an eye towards what lies ahead. Its a surprisingly long journey and most people underestimate it. You cant expect an ideal life to happen by itself. You must recognize that no matter where you are on the path, each step is there to teach you something, feeding you that fuel. If youre not doing what you want, you need more fuel so go out and get it. 40 .A. you are winningB. that will come trueC. The last part is “saving fuel”D. The final part is “filling fuel”E. Here are some tips on how to aim your sights into the futureF. It seems that most of us try to jump straight to the next stageG.
