(A) In 2008, someone, or perhaps a group of people, using the name Satoshi Nakamoto published a paper to an online group that discussed cryptography(密码使用法). That paper described a process that would use cryptography to create a secure electronic cash system, now known as a cryptocurrency( 加密货币). Person to person payment could be made online using a shared network of computers instead of a bank or other financial institution. Each deal could happen very quickly. The shared network of computers would also serve as the means to prove those deals safely. Getting rid of the need for a centralized banking system would open up the possibility for anyone to become part of the digital economy. Today, there are well over a thousand different cryptocurrencies. Most are still trying to be feasible global payment system like Bitcoin. They are held back by problems affecting the entire cryptocurrency industry. - 27 - One issue is weak security on cryptocurrency websites where users either store their electronic cash in virtual “wallets” or exchange one kind of electronic cash for another. In recent years, clever thieves have broken into many of these websites and stolen electronic cash. The websites are struggling to protect their users from such thefts. Another problem is the large number of fake cryptocurrencies that are advertised on the internet. The advertisements invite internet users to visit websites offering new cryptocurrencies. Many visitors are persuaded by the websites to buy their cryptocurrencies using actual money. Later, the webistes disappear along with the victims’ money. In response to this problem, companies like Facebook and Google are limiting cryptocurrency advertising on their websites. 36. What does the article explain about Satoshi Nakamoto? A. Satoshi’s background in international baking and investment. B. Satoshi’s grave doubts about the true value of cryptocurrencies. C. Satoshi’s close partnership with suspicious financial institutions.

They’ve revealed the identities of their users. C. They reward their users with coll prizes. D. They arrange recreational events for users. 38.

They’ve created their own cryptocurrency. - 27 - C. They didn’t listen to cryptocurrency fans. D. Too many cryptocurrecies aren’t real. 【答案】36. D 37. A 38. C 39. D 【解析】 这是一篇说明文。文章介绍了加密货币行业面临的严峻挑战。 【36题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段中Getting rid of the need for a centralized banking system would open up the possibility for anyone to become part of the digital economy.“消除对中央银行系统的需求将为任何人成为数字经济的一部分提供可能性。”由此可知,这篇文章解释了Satoshi对数字经济发展的贡献。故选D。 【37题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中In recent years, clever thieves have broken into many of these websites and stolen electronic cash. The websites are struggling to protect their users from such thefts.“近年来,聪明的小偷闯入了许多这样的网站,偷走了电子货币。这些网站正在努力保护用户免受此类盗窃。”由此可知,根据这篇文章,关于众多加密货币的真相是他们和他们的用户都被抢劫了。故选A。 【38题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段there are well over a thousand different cryptocurrencies. Most are still trying to be feasible global payment system like Bitcoin. They are held back by problems affecting the entire cryptocurrency industry.“有超过一千种不同的加密货币。大多数公司仍在尝试像比特币一样成为可行的全球支付系统。影响整个加密货币行业的问题阻碍了它们的发展。”由此可知,关于加密货币行业,它面临着一些严峻的挑战。故选C。 【39题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段第一句One issue is weak security on cryptocurrency websites where users either store their electronic cash in virtual “wallets” or exchange one kind of electronic cash for another.“一个问题是加密货币网站的安全性较差,用户要么将电子现金存储在虚拟“钱包”中,要么将一种电子现金兑换成另一种。”和最后一段第一句Another problem is the large number of fake cryptocurrencies that are advertised on the - 27 - internet.“另一个问题是大量的虚假加密货币在互联网上做广告。”由此可知,根据这篇文章,Facebook和谷歌之所以限制加密货币广告,是因为太多的加密是不真实的。故选D。 (B) “Changing the world” might seem like an unrealistic goal. When faced with huge problems such as air pollution or energy shortages, where do you start? Taoyuan-based Gogoro believes you start with a scooter. Proof of concept In 2015, Gogoro broke onto the scene by releasing an electric scooter called the Smart-scooter. Unlike most electric scooters. This one wouldn’t need to plugged in to recharge. Instead, users would stop by GoStations to exchange drained batteries for fully charged ones. Gogoro was taking a risk. If people were not happy with the system of changing batteries the whole project could fail. They didn’t need to worry, though. Only one year later Gogoro sold their 10,000th Smart-scooter! Setting the bar Fast forward to 2019 and the release of the Series 3 Smart-scooter. Gogoro scooters are as popular and revolutionary as ever. Their bright colors are chosen by Beatrice Santiccioli, a famous color designer who helped shape major brands like Apple, Nike and Swatch. In addition to the scooters’ bright colors, plenty of cool accessories(配件)are available so ou can make your scooter your own. But most important of all, Gogoro continues to pave the way toward a future of responsible energy consumption. - 27 - Looking forward Multiple cities and countries have committed to making their transportation all-electric in the coming years, and Gogoro is helping make the possible. Ordered a package? Companies like DHL and Taiwan Post now have fleets of Smart-scooters to make deliveries. Need a ride? Unlock a Gogoro in Beilin, Paris or Madrid, thanks to scooter sharing services. The Smart-scooters s definitely ingenious, but there’s more “At Gogoro, I think the essential thing is that we want to change how people use energy. And the Smart-scooters is only the beginning.” says Horace Luke, Gogoro co-founder and CEO. This is where the GoStation comes in. 40. Compared with other electric scooters, the Smart-scooter _____ . A. can recharge itself in Gostations in mega-cities B. only needs to change batteries in Gostations C. wouldn’t need to be recharged at all in life D. can be recharged by its users in Gostations 41 Gogoro scooters are popular and revolutionary mainly because _____. A. their colors are chosen by a famous color designer B. their colors are different from those of others C. it is a good way for people to consume energy D. it an help us solve the problem of energy short 42. What can we conclude from the passage? A. The more mega-cities there are, the more GoStations may appear. B. GoStations will soon entirely take the place of traditional stations. C. People need not go to GoStations especially during peak hours. D. More mega-cities will appear throughout the world in the future. 【答案】40. B 41. C 42. A - 27 - 【解析】 【分析】 这是一篇说明文。“改变世界”似乎是一个不切实际的目标。文章介绍当面临空气污染或能源短缺等重大问题时,我们应该采取什么样的措施。Taoyuan-based Gogoro认为你可以从踏板车开始。 【40题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中Unlike most electric scooters. This one wouldn’t need to plugged in to recharge. Instead, users would stop by GoStations to exchange drained batteries for fully charged ones.“不像大多数电动摩托车,这款摩托车不需要充电。相反,用户会在加油站停下来,将耗尽的电池换成充满电的电池。”由此可知,与其他电动滑板车相比,这款智能滑板车只需要更换加油站的电池即可。故选B。 【41题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段中But most important of all, Gogoro continues to pave the way toward a future of responsible energy consumption.“但最重要的是,Gogoro将继续为未来负责任的能源消费铺平道路。”由此可知,Gogoro滑板车之所以流行和具有革命性,主要是因为它是人们消耗能源的一种好方式。故选C。 【42题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段The Smart-scooters s definitely ingenious, but there’s more “At Gogoro, I think the essential thing is that we want to change how people use energy. And the Smart-scooters is only the beginning.”says Horace Luke, Gogoro co-founder and CEO. This is where the GoStation comes in. 可知,智能滑板车确实很有创意,但Gogoro联合创始人兼首席执行官霍勒斯•卢克表示“在Gogoro,我认为最重要的是我们想要改变人们使用能源的方式。”智能滑板车只是个开始。”这就是GoStation的作用。由此可知,大城市越多,加油站就越多。故选A。 【点睛】在细节考查题中有一类事实细节题 。该题属于细节类型的阅读理解题,一般只针对某个特定的细节,题型可以多种多样。此类题型一般分两种。第一种是直接理解题,在原文中可以直接找到答案。第二种是词义转换题,正确选项是原文有关词语和句子的转换。做此类试题一定要抓住事件发生的时间、地点、人物、发展过程和结局等环节,所选答案一定要符合原文,切不可望文生义。例如第1小题,根据第二段中Unlike most electric scooters. This one wouldn’t need to plugged in to recharge. Instead, users would - 27 - stop by GoStations to exchange drained batteries for fully charged ones.“不像大多数电动摩托车。这款手机不需要充电。相反,用户会在加油站停下来,将耗尽的电池换成充满电的电池。”由此可知,与其他电动滑板车相比,这款智能滑板车只需要更换加油站的电池即可。故选B。 (C) With so many investments required of us to succeed - time, resources, talents, responsibilities, even finances for our retirement - it’s easy to lose sight of the most difficult investment of all to commit to : ourselves. Getting to the point where you’re ready to start upgrading to you 2.0 isn’t easy. But it doesn’t mean dropping the ball everywhere else. It’s not about omissions, but admissions. Come clean with yourself to kick-start your personal growth. Unstuck starts with “u” No one purposely chooses to stop learning and growing again, it just kind of happens in a lot of daily responsibilities and life. And if it were easy to just kick it into gear( 档 位 )again, you would have already done it. But the truth is inescapable. If you want to get off that place to higher ground, it’s up to you and only you. No one will just hand you a steady stream of opportunities for growth. You’ve been working in your life, not on it Activity is often confused with acceleration(忙碌). I was guilty of this for years in working place - staying always busy but not admitting I was bored. I was lost in activity and not steeping back to take time to question what I wanted my life to be. Once I began working on my life - quitting corporate, becoming an entrepreneur, restructuring to my life - I started growing once again. And I’ve never been happier. Things aren’t happening to you, they’re happening for you A victim mentality(心态)is the enemy of personal growth. Lamenting over everything that has gone wrong in your life only wastes energy from working to make more things go right. If you want to kick-start growth, you must view setbacks as having a purpose, and then put them in their place. The past shouldn’t run or define you - only fuel you. - 27 - The perfect time to start doesn’t exist I had so many things that had to be just right before I could make my long-planned leap from corporate. I’d tell myself, “I’d love to go for it right now, but practically speaking.” Well, guess what? Practicality is poison. It’s the convenient excuse stopping you from what you’re meant to become. It’s time to unplug others’ opinions Grow where you want to grow. Learn what you want to learn. Wherever you are on the scale of hat you want to learn next - be it beginner or near - expert own it, be proud of it. Pretenses are for pretenders. You’re just trying to become a better version of your genuine self. 43. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage? A. If you want to succeed, you have to invest yourself first. B. Upgrading yourself is hard, but you still need to continue. C. Giving up upgrading yourself is just like dropping the ball. D. It’s a kind of responsibility to go on learning though it’s hard. 44. The word lament in the last but 4 paragraphs most probably means ______. A. to express sadness and feeling sorry about something B. to repeat what happens to you in the past of your life C. to show some regretful feeling or thought for our past D. to recognize something that has gone wrong in the past 45. According to the passage, we can infer that _____. A. the busier you are, the happier and better you will be B. what happened shouldn’t prevent you, but protect you C. whoever you are, just grow where you want to grow D. how well you grow is actually decided by yourself 46. How many aspects does the writer illustrate his idea on personal growth? A. 3 B. 7 C. 5 D. 6 【答案】43. B 44. A 45. D 46.

Summary Writing 51.Directions: Read the following passage. Summarize the main idea and the main point(s) of the passage in no more than 60 words. Use your own words as far as possible. Every culture has set rules about how people should act. Patterns of good behavior, or manners, show respect and care for others. Yet the details of how to express respect vary. Greeting people cheerfully is almost always considered polite. But it’s more important in some cultures than others. For example, when you enter a store in France, you should always greet the person working there. Other cultures also value greeting people. But of course the greetings vary as people speak different languages. When I was growing up in the United States, I once participated in a performance at my church. Afterward, someone gave me a compliment, but I felt like I had done a bad job. So I tried to refuse the compliment, saying, “No, I didn’t do that well.” My mother got my attention and told me that was very rude. Later I learned that refusing a compliment is accepted and even approved of in China. Some of the biggest cultural differences have to do with table manners. In North America, it’s polite to eat as quietly as possible. That means chewing with your mouth closed and not slurping(吃东西时发出的声音)your soup. The same goes for burping(打嗝). But in parts of Asia slurping shows that you are enjoying - 27 - your meal. And burping is a sign of being full and content. There are also differences in how people eat across cultures. For example, in North America and Europe people use forks to bring food to their mouths. But in Thailand, a fork is only used to push food onto a spoon. In India and the Middle East, people eat with their hands. But eating with the left hand is forbidden. This is because the left hand is considered unclean. Yet there are also similar points across cultures. Saying “please” and “thank you”, for example, is almost always polite. If you show appreciation and try to follow local customs, people will generally respond well. Showing kindness can bring people together, no matter what culture they come from. 【答案】It’s about culture difference Greeting cheerfully is polite anywhere Refusing compliments is rude in America but acceptable in China. Making a sound while eating is impolite in North America but not in parts of Asia. For example, people eat differently with people in some areas preferring folks while some with hands. Anyway, similarities still exist like saying “please” and “thank you”. 【解析】 【分析】 本篇书面表达考查概要写作。 【详解】文章从三个方面介绍了不同文化礼仪的区别与相似。根据第二段第一句Greeting people cheerfully is almost always considered polite. But it’s more important in some cultures than others.“与人愉快地打招呼几乎总是被认为是礼貌的。但它在某些文化中比其他文化更重要。”由此可知,It’s about culture difference Greeting cheerfully is polite anywhere Refusing compliments is rude in America but acceptable in China.(在美国,拒人称赞是粗鲁的行为,但在中国是可以接受的。)根据第四段中Some of the biggest cultural differences have to do with table manners. In North America, it’s polite to eat as quietly as possible. That means chewing with your mouth closed and not slurping(吃东西时发出的声音)your soup. The same goes for burping(打嗝). But in parts of Asia slurping shows that you are enjoying your meal. And burping is a sign of being full and - 27 - content.“一些最大的文化差异与餐桌礼仪有关。在北美,尽可能安静地吃东西是有礼貌的。这意味着你要闭着嘴咀嚼,不要发出喝汤的声音。打嗝也一样。但在亚洲部分地区,吃东西发出声音表明你很享受这顿饭。打嗝是饱腹感和满足感的标志。”由此可知,Making a sound while eating is impolite in North America but not in parts of Asia. For example, people eat differently with people in some areas preferring folks while some with hands.(吃饭时发出声音在北美是不礼貌的,但在亚洲部分地区却不是。例如,人们吃的不同,在一些地区的人更喜欢人,而有些人的手。)根据最后一段中Yet there are also similar points across cultures. Saying “please” and “thank you”, for example, is almost always polite.“然而,不同文化之间也有相似之处。例如,说“请”和“谢谢”几乎总是礼貌的。”由此可知,Anyway, similarities still exist like saying “please” and “thank you”.(无论如何,相似点仍然存在比如说"请"和"谢谢") V.
