Power, a Californian market research company, tracks the number of mechanical and design problems reported per 100 vehicles by more than 21,000 Chinese drivers.‎ ‎ It documented 131 problems per 100 domestic(国内的) vehicles, compared with 95 per 100foreign vehicles. The 36-point gap was the narrowest in the study’s seven-year history. When China overtook the US as the world’s largest car maker in the 2009, the gap between domestic and foreign cars was 145 points. “It’s evidence to the improvements that domestic brands have been making,” said Geoff Broderick, head of J.D. Power’s operations. “By 2018 the domestic and the global brands will be equal in terms of quality.”‎ ‎ Despite the steady improvement in quality, local vehicle makers have been performing poorly this year. According to the China Association of Automobile Manufacturers, domestic brand’s share of the market for cars—not including SUVs—has fallen from about 25 percent to 20 percent.‎ ‎ “Chinese customers are very picky in the world because they have been trained to distrust products,” said Mr Broderick, citing scandals(丑闻) affecting baby milk powder and toys.‎ ‎“They go into a situation expecting there could be quality issues, whereas in the West we trust the brands.‎ ‎4．What was the gap between Chinese vehicles and foreign vehicles in 2016?‎ A. 131 points.

D. 36 points.‎ ‎5．The data in the fourth paragraph shows that ______.‎ A. the market share of the domestic cars has dropped B. the quality of domestic vehicles have been improved C.

Power is ______.‎ A. a name of a company ‎ B. a car maker C. a head of an association ‎ D. a milk brand ‎7．According to what Mr. Broderick said in the last two paragraphs, we can learn that ______.‎ A. Chinese car market will be optimistic as is expected B. Chinese and western consumers have different attitudes to products.‎ C. he doesn’t like Chinese customers because they don’t trust products D. it is easier for China’s car companies to sell cars to the West When Marco Polo travelled to Hangzhou, China 700 hundred years ago, never had he thought he'd be creating a job of social media ambassador in the 21st century in China.‎ ‎ On May 20, one lucky foreigner would be selected to become the modern-day Marco Polo, getting a free 15-day trip to the scenic city of Hangzhou in China, and rewarded $55,000 in the next year for working part-time to promote the city to the global audience. Five finalists from Australia, Romania, U.S., Switzerland and France were in the final race. They came from a pool of 700 applicants from around the world, carefully selected by the Hangzhou Tourism Commission on their familiarity with China, social media presence and adventurous spirit.‎ ‎ Located about 100 miles southwest to Shanghai, Hangzhou is home to 844 million population and among China’s richest cities as measures by per-capita GDP. Traditionally, Hangzhou is known for its charming West Lake, a UNESCO world heritage site with traditional Chinese stories and tales, and the Grand Canal, which travels from Hangzhou to Beijing and was a key route of transportation in ancient China. The city’s mild climate and charming environment drew 97 million tourists last year, contributing to 6.5% of the city’s GDP.‎ ‎ The lucky winner would start an all-expense-paid trip to Hangzhou, which, in addition to visits to tourist sites and tastings of delicious food, also would include a four-day ride along the Grand Canal and three evenings spent at a local resident’s home.‎ ‎ “It is in fact a part-time job. How you work that out efficiently is your problem,” Liam Bates, perhaps the strongest competitor because of his fluent Chinese, said. “We will see how hard it is to meet these numbers.”‎ ‎8．The purpose of Hangzhou choosing a social media ambassador is to ______.‎ A. keep Marco Polo in people’s memories B. attract more foreign tourists to China C. encourage more foreigners to speak Chinese ‎ D. explore a new route of transportation ‎9．From paragraph 3, we know that ______.‎ A. Hangzhou is 100 miles northwest to Shanghai B. 8.8 million visitors came to Hangzhou in 2015‎ C. tourism plays an important in the GDP of Hangzhou ‎ D. the Grand Canal travels from Hangzhou to Shanghai ‎10．Liam Bates was most likely to get the job mainly due to his ______.‎ A. travel experienceB. fluent Chinese C. adventurous spiritD. excellent videos ‎11．Which of the following might be the best title for this passage?‎ A. Hangzhou rewards international visitors to China B. Liam Bates creates a dream job of social media ambassador C. Dream job in China—$55,000 to the contemporary Marco Polo D. Hangzhou, a famous city for West Lake and the Great Canal We produce 500 billion of plastic bags in a year worldwide and they are thrown away polluting oceans, killing wildlife and getting dumped in landfills where they take up to 1,000 years to decompose． Researchers have been unsuccessfully looking for a solution.‎ The 16-year-old Canadian high school student, Daniel Burd, from Waterloo Collegiate Institute, has-discovered a way to make plastic bags degrade（降解） in as few as 3 months, a finding that won him first prize at the Canada Wide Science Fair, a ＄10,000 prize, a ＄20,000 scholarship, and a chance to revolutionize a major environmental issue.‎ Burd’s strategy was simple: Since plastic does eventually degrade, it must be eaten by microorganisms（微生物）．If those microorganisms could be identified, we could put them to work eating the plastic much faster than under normal conditions.‎ With this goal in mind, he grounded plastic bags into a powder and concocted（调制）a solution of household chemicals, yeast（酵母） and tap water to encourage microbes growth．Then he added the plastic powder and let the microbes work their magic for 3 months．Finally, he tested the resulting bacterial culture on plastic bags, exposing one plastic sample to dead bacteria as a control．Sure enough, the plastic exposed（暴露）to the live bacteria was 17% lighter than the control after six weeks.‎ The inputs are cheap, maintaining the required temperature takes little energy because microbes produce heat as they work, and the only outputs are water and tiny levels of carbon dioxide.‎ ‎“Almost every week I have to do chores and when I open the closet door, I have piles of plastic bags falling on top of me．One day, I got tired of it and I wanted to know what other people are doing with these plastic bags．The answer: not much．So I decided to do something myself.” Said Daniel Burd.‎ ‎12．Daniel Burd won first prize at the Canada-Wide Science Fair because.‎ A. he found a way to degrade plastics in shorter time. ‎ B. he contributed much to environmental protection.‎ C. he found a new kind of microorganism.‎ D. he could encourage microbe growth in an easier way.‎ ‎13．Daniel Burd exposed one plastic sample to dead bacteria to .‎ A. make the live bacteria work better.‎ B. know which bacteria worked faster. ‎ C. test how effective his method was.‎ D. control the temperature in the process.‎ ‎14．Maintaining the required temperature takes little energy because . ‎ A. plastics can get hot easily.‎ B. microbes can produce heat themselves.‎ C. much carbon dioxide is produced.‎ D. the temperature can be controlled.‎ ‎15．Daniel Burd got his idea from .‎ A. his school textbook. ‎ B. the failure of researchers.‎ C. his everyday work.‎ D. the practice of other people.‎ 二、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。‎ Last year, my friend and I went to a nearby town to attend a wedding.

In my opinion, it is a good idea to do so, for it can not only help the smokers to smoke less, and it can also do good to other customers’ health. Since you had given up selling cigarettes, the customers who doesn’t like smoking are sure to support you. In addition, smoke in the shopping center may cause fire, which is very dangerous to both your possession and the safety of the customers. In a word, the non-smoking supermarket will not effect your business. To the contrary, it will help you attract more customers who want to keep health.‎ Best wishes!‎ 四、七选五 Are you truly happy?
