Some 4,000 books were brought home on the first day, Thepaper.cn reported.‎ ‎ Customers are allowed to borrow up to two books valued under 150 yuan per visit after registering with an app and paying the 99 yuan deposit fee (押金).‎ ‎ All books on sale in the bookstore are available for sharing. Returned books that are damaged are sold at a discount. The bookstore also provides a bonus for bookworms. People who finish reading 12 books in three months receive eight percent of their deposit back, and members can be rewarded one yuan for every book read.‎ ‎ "We want to bring down the cost of reading so people could read more books," Xu Xinwei, who helps run the bookstore, told Thepaper.cn.‎ ‎ Some parents buy a lot of books for their children, but they usually end up collecting dust as their children grow up. Similarly, some popular novels for young people also fall out of fashion, according to Xu. "Books are more effectively circulated when they're shared."‎ ‎24.

It makes salad, fries and dumplings taste better, and you can even clean your windows with it. And now, according to scientists, it may even help the planet’s population survive climate change. Researchers from the RIKEN Center for Sustainable Resource Science (CSRS) in Japan proved that. They found growing plants in vinegar makes them more resistant to droughts. This could mean that in the future, worries about climate change affecting the world’s supply of food will be much lower.‎ ‎ The discovery was made after the researchers studied the Arabidopsis, a plant known for its ability to survive in dry weather. It was found that when the plant was placed in drought-like conditions, it produced a chemical called acetate (醋酸盐)—the main component of vinegar.‎ ‎ After discovering this, the scientists experimented further by adding acetate to the soil of other plants before they stopped giving them water completely. After leaving the plants for 14‎ ‎ days, they found that the ones treated with acetate had survived, while the untreated plants had dried up and died.‎ ‎ It’s hoped that this simple method of survival could soon be used to help farmers in dry countries keep their crops alive. “In the experiment, we targeted the staple foods of the world—rice, wheat and maize… and proved successful” Jong Myong Kim, co-author of the study, told Popular Science magazine.‎ ‎ Kim has already been in touch with people around the world who are interested in trying this simple and cost-effective method out for themselves from farmers to companies and amateur gardeners. “Now we are trying to cooperate with them to make a method to apply this system, and make the process as simple as possible,” he said. Hopefully this means the end of hunger caused by bad weather in the future.‎ ‎28. What does the underlined word “that” in paragraph 1 refer to?‎ ‎ A. Vinegar may help creatures survive bad weather.‎ ‎ B. Vinegar is found in plants by Japanese scientists.‎ ‎ C. Vinegar is very useful for cooking a good meal.‎ ‎ D. Vinegar is mainly used by people to clean houses.‎ ‎29. Scientists in Japan find from their studies that .‎ ‎ A. the Arabidopsis could survive in dry weather because of the shape ‎ B. soil condition could be changed by pouring vinegar continually ‎ C. the acetate can be used by farmers to replace the soil ‎ D. the plants treated with acetate could survive dry conditions ‎30. What can we infer from the last paragraph?‎ ‎ A. It’s too difficult for farmers to accept the method.‎ ‎` B. How to decrease the cost is the main issue.‎ ‎ C. The method is promising especially in agriculture.‎ ‎ D. Keeping plants alive means a lot for scientists.‎ ‎31. Which of the following can be the best title for the text?‎ ‎ A. Japanese Scientists Find a Plant ‎ B. Vinegar Could End Hunger ‎ C. Vinegar and Food ‎ D. Plants Need Water D ‎ The next generation of artificial intelligence (AI) may be sitting right beneath you, at least if furniture maker Ikea has any say in the matter. The Swedish furniture company’s “future-living” research lab in Copenhagen is conducting a survey to understand what people want when it comes to smart furniture.‎ ‎ AI is now walking into more aspects of people’s daily lives. Self-driving cars are just around the corner, and AI robots can play and beat the best players of strategy games. As smart home technologies have become more ubiquitous, products ranging from smart electrical outlets（插座）to smart smoke alarms are flooding the market. Therefore, it’s not surprising that Ikea would be moving in the same direction.‎ ‎ Exactly why people would want their sofa or bed frame to speak to then, track their daily movements or offer help is not yet clear. Though Ikea’s the new survey doesn’t directly answer that question, it does provide a hint of what people would feel comfortable with. Most participants wanted a more humanlike form of virtual（虚拟的）assistants, as opposed to one that is more robotic. In terms of the ideal gender（性别）of the assistants, the most popular choice was neither male nor female. Few wanted a religious form of AI.‎ ‎ Just as with human friends, most wanted AI friends that were like them, affirming their own worldview. They wanted an AI assistant that was reasonably intelligent—that could collect data to predict what a person wanted before he or she asked, and that could prevent someone from making mistakes.‎ ‎ This is not the first time that Ikea has set foot in the field or futuristic technologies. In addition to wireless charging tables and chainless bikes that never rust（生锈）, the furniture giant has also pictured smart kitchens that can cook the best meal. To decide on how intelligent you want your next sofa or bookshelf to be, you can take Ikea’s survey online.‎ ‎32. What does the underlined word “ubiquitous” in Paragraph 2 mean?‎ ‎ A. Beautiful. B. Common. C. Normal. D. Environment.‎ ‎33. What does Paragraph 3 mainly talk about?‎ ‎ A. The differences between robot-like and human-like assistants.‎ ‎ B. What form of AI assistants people want.‎ ‎ C. What kind of friends people want.‎ ‎ D. The popular robots on the market.‎ ‎34. Most people who received the survey wanted an AI assistant that could ________.‎ ‎ A. help them became smarter ‎ B. communicate with them without troubles ‎ C. have its own worldview ‎ D. deal with their problems in advance ‎35. Which of the following products are from Ikea?‎ ‎ A. Smart sofas that can speak to you.‎ ‎ B. Smart beds than can track your daily movements.‎ ‎ C. Wireless charging cars.‎ ‎ D. Rustless bikes without chains.‎ 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。‎ ‎ China has been the birthplace of many of the world's greatest inventions. It was, for example, the first country to produce paper money. Before the invention of paper money and coins, people used many different kinds of things for buying and selling. 36 This exchange of goods and services for other goods and services is called bartering（物物交换）.‎ ‎ ‎37 In 1200 BC, people in China began to use shells as money. Usually the shells used as money were very small. This made it easier for people to carry money over long distances, and allowed for trade to develop between different parts of the country.‎ ‎ In the years which followed this invention, many other countries around the world began to do the same. 38 ‎ ‎ The next development was in 1000 BC, when China started making bronze and copper shells. It wasn't long before the Chinese made round coins out of metal. 39 By 500 BC, metal coins had begun to appear in countries like Persia and Greece, and later in the Roman Empire.‎ ‎ About 1000 years later, leather was used as money in China, and in 806 AD, the first paper banknotes were produced by the Chinese people. 40 ‎ ‎ A. As time went by, trade between countries increased.‎ ‎ B. People also began collecting foreign coins as souvenirs.‎ ‎ C. They also used tiny shells as money for buying and selling.‎ ‎ D. It was still many years before paper money appeared in Europe.‎ ‎ E. However, as economies developed, such exchanges became impractical.‎ ‎ F. During that time, for example, buying a chicken might cost several potatoes.‎ ‎ G. The very first coins often had holes in them so that people could tie them together.‎ 第三部分 英语知识运用（共两节，满分45分）‎ 第一节 完型填空（共20小题，每小题1.5分，满分30分）‎ ‎ 阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。‎ ‎ As a banker, Chip Paillex had never planted so much until he moved to rural Pittstown‎, ‎New Jersey, seven years ago. 41 by farms, he quickly became interested in growing and rented a 30-by-30-foot land.
