It is good to know that new technology is making cash a thing of the past, turning us into a cashless society. Beijing has become the “smartest” city in China, according to a report on cashless societies released on July 31.The report was jointly published by the Chongyang Institute for FinancialStudies at the Renmin University of China, French market research firm Ipsos, and Chinese tech giant Tencent, whose massively popular WeChat social media platform now features online payment.It measured the level of “smart cities” using different indexes, such as transportation, education, shopping and food delivery, in 324 Chinese cities and polled over 6500 residents on their use of mobile payment.Overall, Beijing ranked first in the penetration of a cashless society, followed by Shenzhen, Guangzhou and Shanghai. Beijing recently debuted its first staffless convenience store. Additionally, Beijing residents can use their mobile wallets to buy everything from train tickets and movie tickets, to admission into the Forbidden City. The cities of Dongguan and Foshan were the dark horses in the top 10, ranking(排名) sixth and tenth, respectively.According to the report, 40 percent of Chinese carry less than 100 yuan(15) in cash when going out, while 52 percent use cash for only 20 percent of their total monthly consumption. Over 70 percent of respondents said they could live more than a week with only 100 yuan(15) in cash, and 84 percent were “comfortable” going out with only mobile phones and no cash. However, the report also shows that young people are leading the cashless trend. Cashless influence is relatively smaller among the older generation. The average amount of cash people carry declines with age.56. Beijing has been named the countrys “smartest” city because _A. Beijing is the national political, cultural and economic center.B. most Beijingers transfer money through online payment system.C. the majority of population in Beijing are intelligent.D.

Which statement is Not True according to the passage?A. WeChat is one of Chinese mobile payment giants.B. Empty pockets in China is the new fashion.C. Cash will soon become a past for todays China, both for teenagers and the older generation.D.84 percent of respondents felt calm without cash because they could use mobile payments.BEvery month, people worldwide upload about 6 billion photos to the Internet. Photography is now so common, it is easy to forget that photographsand the memories they holdcan be very precious.In a cold, windowless basement in Washington D.C., there is a man who knows the real value of a photograph. Since 1983, Bill Bonner has looked after National Geographics photo archive(档案馆). The archive holds around 8 million prints many over 100 years old.In his long career, Bonner has looked at hundreds of thousands of photos. He believes each image holds a memory. Some of the pictures record moments in history. Many others, he says, show “people like us, just doing our thing, living our life.” Many of these memories have been forgotten by the outside world. But they still have the power to tell us a lot about the past.When the archives earliest photos were taken, photography was difficult and expensive. Photographers needed special equipment and chemicals to develop their pictures. Cameras were large and heavysome weighed 20 pounds (9kilos) or more. Early explorers used these massive cameras to photograph people and places that most people had never seen. Photography expeditions took several months, or even years. “They devoted their lives to this,” Bonner says.Bonner feels responsible for keeping these memories alive, for people now and in the future. Many of the images are fragile(易碎的), and he has to be very careful to preserve them. For Bonner, these figures from the distant past are almost like his ancestors. “For me,” he says, “Its like opening your grandparents family album for the first time.”59. The passage is mainly about_A. a familys photosB. how old photos help us to remember the past C. the story of an old photographerD. the history of photography.60. What do people worldwide do about 6 billion times every month?A. Send photos to their friends.B. Post photos on the Internet.C. Watch videos on the Internet.D. Download photos from the Internet.61. According to the writer, we sometimes forget that photographs are A. expensive B. common C. valuable D. worthless62. What is the best title of this article?A. Preserving the past. B. Sweet memories.C. Fragile photos D. Historic momentsC Deciding what to wear in the morning is a challenge for some people. We often worry about what others will think of us because of our clothes. But researchers are beginning to think that our clothing has an equally powerful effect on how we see ourselves.Scientists Adam Galinsky and Hajo Adams report that there is science behind our style. In their research, Galinsky and Adams had some participants(参与者) wear white lab coats similar to the ones scientists or doctors wear. Other participants wore their normal clothes. The participants took a test that measured their ability to pay attention. In the experiment, participants saw cards with different-colored words on them. They had to say the color of the word they saw, not the word itself. The people wearing the white lab coats said the correct color of the word more often.Galinsky and Adams think that the white coats made the participants feel more confident and careful. The researchers also believe that other kinds of “symbolic” clothes can influence the behavior of the people wearing them. A police officers uniform or a judges robe, for example, increases the wearers feelings of power or confidence. And in workplaces that have a dress code, “symbolic” clothes may also affect how well employees do their jobs.Fashion blogger Jessica Quirk believes that our clothes greatly affect how we feel about ourselves. According to Quirk, “There is joy and luck and confidence in what we wear.” On her blog called “What I wore,” Quirk posts a photo of what shes wearing every day. She says that people should pay more attention to what they wear. For example, we should choose a look that makes us feel more creative and happy. One way to do this at work is to “dress up for the exciting job we want,” she says, “not the boring job we have.” Another way is to wear special clothes that mean something to us. For example, Quirk wears one special pair of shoes to all her important meetings. They are her “lucky” shoes.As Quirk points outand as researchers have discoveredour clothes are “like our second skin.” The clothes we wear can affect our behavior. They can also tell the world something about us, without us having to say a word.63. What do you think paragraph 2 is mostly about?A. A description of an experiment B. The opinions of a bloggerC. A biography of two scientists D. Advice from two scientists64. What happened in Galinsky and Adams experiment?

In paragraph 3, some examples of symbolic clothes are mentioned to explainA. why people wear uniformsB. how special clothes can change peoples behaviorC. why it is important to have a dress-code for certain jobs.D. why police officer feels confident.66. What is the main idea of the passage?A. The clothes we wear can affect how we feelB. The clothes we wear should be symbolicC. The clothes we wear make us feel more powerfulD. The clothes we wear can affect what others think of us.D In the warm, shallow waters of coral reefs live animals with an amazing ability. These animals, known as cephalopods(头足纲动物), are able to change the appearance of their skin.Squid, octopi, and cuttlefish are all types of cephalopods. Each of these animals has special cells under its skin that contain pigment, a colored liquid. A cephalopod can move these cells towards or away from its skin. This allows it to change the pattern and color of its appearance,Cephalopods mainly use these cells as camouflage to hide from predators. For example, cephalopods can blend in to the color of the sea floor, making them invisible to predators. They can also change color to scare predators away. For example, the skin of the Caribbean reef squid is usually a plain brown. When a predator passes c
