Ⅲ.阅读理解(每小题2.5分，共17.5分)
A
A bank statement—these are those letters from the bank telling you how much you’ve spent or saved.They come in those envelopes that are so depressing to see when you’re in the red. Coins——they are the pieces of metal money in your pocket; and they seem to mysteriously disappear every time you desperately need to make a call from a public phone box.
A cashier—in Britain these bank workers who serve you are ever so friendly and helpful...until they know you’ve got money problems. A bank letter—this is the angry letter from the bank telling you to pay up or suffer the additional expense of a court case.
A cash machine—these holes in the wall that throw out money(ATMs in the US) are so useful.But be careful to check who’s standing behind you！ Cash—if you carry lots of this paper money with you，the probability of you getting robbed or losing your wallet increases by 100%—it’s a rule of nature.
A credit card—so easy to use，so easy to abuse! They’re also known as your “flexible friend”，although “flexible enemy” would be more appropriate. A loan—this is the money that banks give you to start up your business or buy a bigger car.It’s all very exciting at first...until interest rates shoot up.
An overdraft(透支)—this is permission from the bank to take out more money than you have.It’s great in theory，but disastrous in practice. A mortgage(按揭)—this is the money you borrow to buy a house，usually with you for at least twenty years...a long time to be paying for something.

A penny saved is a penny earned.And more and more penny-wise young Chinese are abandoning consumerism by leading an increasingly frugal(节俭的) life by developing anti-consumerism concepts.
According to a survey，nearly 50% of respondents would use all means to save money and more than 30% plan to become deal-hunters to fit in their budgets.More than 80% of Generation Z Chinese spend less than 5,000 yuan($737) a month.When shopping，they care the most about practicability，personal preference and price，instead of brands，popularity and brand spokesmen.
And more than 600,000 respondents have joined a group named Frenzied Money Savers on a popular social media platform，where members share sometimes extreme ideas，tips，books and everything to save hard-earned money.For instance，some recommended uninstalling shopping apps and installing it each time you really need to buy something so as to hold back the urge to spend.And milk tea，coffee and takeouts are strongly opposed by many.
Chinese have long established and valued the saving culture with the country’s household savings rate leading the world.Young Chinese who are born in a relatively prosperous and abundant society have learned to get rid of the addiction to consumerism and use money in a more sensible and wiser way，which could help create a more healthy and upbeat social vibe(社会风气)，besides reducing the huge waste and damages to the environment caused by over consumption.
Just as the American writer Theodore Thornton said，the habit of saving is itself an education.Yet saving is certainly not the final goal，but spending money where it truly deserves helps realize one’s life objectives.To save and spend wisely are lessons young people all over the world have to learn.
4．What’s the reason why more and more young Chinese are becoming penny-wise
A．They tend to accept consumerism.
B．They spend money without hesitation.
C．They are shaped by multiple cultures.
D．They are in favor of economical life.
5．What may Generation Z Chinese care the most when shopping
A．Budgets and service.
B．Practicability and price.
C．Personal preference and brands.
D．Shopping apps and platforms.
6．What message does the author want to convey in paragraph 4
A．Anti-consumerism is beneficial to social progress.
B．Saving money can be many people’s life objectives.
C．Many social issues mainly result from consumerism.
D．Young Chinese are lucky to be born in a prosperous society.
7．What is the text mainly about
A．There is no increasing need for consumerism.
B．Old virtue of being frugal is still not outdated.
C．Tips on saving money are important for the young.
D．Consumerism has an impact on economic development.

A
With China’s large trade volume，the increased use of the Chinese currency renminbi(RMB) in international trade will help stabilize the international trading system，a leading business insider has said.
The RMB，or the yuan，is getting increasingly popular and acceptable as more and more countries are willing to sign currency exchange deals with China，and more countries are starting to use the currency to settle cross-border trade，said Wu Kegang，director of BCC LinkTo China，a partnership project between the British Chambers of Commerce(BCC) and the China Council for the Promotion of International Trade.
“I think in the future，a large number of Chinese companies who are dealing with international trade probably will start using RMB as the currency of settlements，” Wu told Xinhua in a recent interview.“When that happens，then the Chinese currency would truly become the international currency of choice.”
Noting that China has been the largest trader of the world for several years，Wu told Xinhua that the speeding up of the currency’s internationalization is very timely and “doesn’t surprise me at all.”
He said the volume of China’s trade is seen as an important stabilizing factor of global trading system now，and the currency getting more involved in international trade will be able to help stabilize the international trading system and also boost confidence for the Chinese economy.
During the interview，he also refuted some negative reports about China from many international observers，“particularly they use the Western economic theory to monitor and observe Chinese economy.”
Wu，who just came back from a two-month trip in China，said the situation on the ground is a lot more stable.“The manufacturing，the economy is a lot more stable than the media have reported over the last three years，” he noted.
“The internationalization of the currency will also provide evidence for the outside world to see how strong and resilient(有弹性的) the economy is，” he said.
1．What is Wu’s attitude towards the internationalization of the Chinese currency
A．Pessimistic. B．Surprised.
C．Suspicious. D．Optimistic.
2．Which of the following can probably replace the underlined word “refuted” in the sixth paragraph
A．Opposed. B．Supported.
C．Drafted. D．Praised.
3．What is the author’s purpose of writing the text
A．To introduce a leading business insider.
B．To warn people of the instability of Chinese economy.
C．To cast light on the potential impact of the Chinese currency on international trade.
D．To demonstrate the relationship between the Chinese currency and Western economic theory.
4．In which section of a newspaper may this text appear
A．Environment. B．Fashion.
C．Business. D．Entertainment.
B
How do consumers access，buy and use their favorite products and services The answer to the seemingly simple question is changing.Traditionally，people often see ownership as the most desirable way to have access to products.However，an increasing number of consumers are paying to temporarily access or share products and services rather than buy or own them.Customer behavior towards many goods and services changes from ownership to sharing.This transformation of people’s consumption habits has made sharing economy grow and it seems that some individuals and companies have already benefited from this trend.
Growth in sharing systems has particularly been fueled by the Internet with the rise of social media systems.Anyone can be part of the sharing economy.It is reported that of the 44 percent of U．S.adults who are familiar with the sharing economy,86 percent say it makes life more affordable,83 percent say it makes life more convenient and efficient，and 78 percent say it builds a stronger community.The central idea of group consumption is simple: Obtain value which remains in goods or services that are not entirely used by their owners.
A recent survey from Pricewaterhouse Coopers，the largest professional service firm in the world，shows this so-called “sharing economy” is growing faster than ever.Although we are not sure about the current size of this market，by 2025，according to Pricewaterhouse Coopers，the sharing economy could represent $335 billion in profit worldwide.Nowadays，well-known examples of successful corporations built on group consumption systems include Airbnb，a San Francisco-based online accommodations marketplace，and Zipcar，a car sharing brand that is now part of the vehicle rental service company.
The speed of its growth suggests that the sharing economy might represent a serious threat to established industries，due to fewer purchases in conventional markets.For consumers，it seems to bold the advantage to unite cost reduction，benefit expansion，convenience and environmental consciousness in one type of consumption.Companies therefore should understand the new situation and manage their operating system in order to adapt to current and future business models to provide new sources of profits within this growing area of the sharing economy.
5．How does the sharing economy work
A．Exchanging possessions of products online.
B．Sharing something with the owners.
C．Selling underused items to make money.
D．Paying for sharing products or services owned by others.
6．Which of the following is NOT a reason for the growth of sharing economy
A．The change of people’s consumption habits.
B．People’s need to reduce life expenses.
C．The decline of traditional business.
D．The easier access to the Internet.
7．In the last paragraph，what does the writer mainly want to say
A．Traditional business should find different sources of profits.
B．Sharing economy has many advantages over conventional industry.
C．The growth of sharing economy has led to the decrease of purchases.
D．Traditional business should try to adapt to sharing economy.
8．Which can be the best title of the passage
A．The Rise of Sharing Economy
B．Sharing Makes Life Better
C．Advantages of Sharing Economy
D．Sharing Economy or Conventional Business

Ⅲ.阅读理解(每小题2.5分，共20分)
A
Businesses are now in cost-cutting mode.Title inflation(头衔通胀) has crept into the workplace.Layoffs，hiring freezes and concerns about a recession(经济衰退) are plaguing employers.
To balance this unique economic environment，employers have figured out a way to comfort employees and job applicants without spending more money.They are offering impressive titles to soften the blow of not providing a raise to internal employees or big compensation to job candidates.
An employee’s title is their identity.It gives them credibility in the office and makes them feel more powerful.In this sense，the policy is a sensible way to help keep staff and attract top candidates.
But if you don’t really deserve the new title，it could come back and trouble you.Recruiters will be pleased to find a candidate who is a perfect fit for a significant，well-paying position in terms of skills，background，and previous experience.However，a stumbling block arises when they notice the candidate has a higher title than the client offers.Since a recruiter wants to make a placement and earn a fee，they won’t waste time and will seek out other candidates who are a better fit.
Even if the recruiters decide to contact the candidate，there’s a good chance the candidate won’t accept.Because most people aren’t aware that their title was inflated and believe it was a reward for their outstanding performance.Understandably，they would be offended if they received a lower-level post.Now that you are at a certain level，you don’t want to go backward.
What’s more，if your current title is too high，it raises red flags.For example，when searching for a new job，if your title is “director”，but the new role is under that level，the interviewer will curiously inquire，“why do you want to go down in title？” There will be an assumption from the hiring manager that something isn’t right.They may feel that the job seeker is leaving before being fired and willing to downgrade.Rather than trying to figure out the motivations of the candidate，they’ll move on to others who have a cleaner story without any baggage.
1．What does the underlined word “plaguing” in paragraph 1 probably mean
A．Shocking. B．Embarrassing.
C．Troubling. D．Confusing.
2．What can we learn about employees with impressive titles
A．They tend to look down upon others.
B．Their salaries don’t match their titles.
C．Their fear of being fired will disappear.
D．They get a good platform for development.
3．What will a recruiter probably do if a candidate’s title is higher than the client offers
A．Have a discussion with the client.
B．Contact the candidate immediately.
C．Exclude the candidate from consideration.
D．Gather more information about the candidate.
4．What is hiring managers’ attitude towards those who choose to downgrade
A．Enthusiastic. B．Dismissive.
C．Appreciative. D．Doubtful.
B
A lot of businesses are started by people who have hobbies or special talents and want to turn these interests into a business.But switching from a hobby to a real business requires business know-how and investments，which stops many people.However，an increasing number of ambitious business owners have found a way to take a first step.They are taking their dreams and talents on the road—in vans(小货车) and lorries，and even horse trucks.
Beginning on a small scale has its advantages，the most important of which is the relatively modest size of start-up costs.These costs，which consist primarily of the vehicle and any required equipment，usually come to about only ￡5,000－￡10,000.With such tightly controlled costs，mobile businesses often break even in a year or two; in contrast，success comes to brick-and-mortar businesses much more slowly，and they often fail within the first two years.In short，mobile businesses are relatively low-risk.
The first enterprisers to do this have been in the food business.The mobile food vendor(小贩) trend in the US and Europe has spread to other parts of the globe.The success of these street food vans has inspired other enterprisers to consider starting out on wheels.
UK enterprisers could take inspiration from the US where，today，there are vehicles that sell flowers，shoes，clothes and all kinds of specialty food items.There are also mobile businesses that provide services，such as hair styling，pet grooming and repair of high-tech devices.Mobile retail(零售) is not without problems，however.Weather，the increasing price of fuel，and just finding a place to set up are all challenges that mobile enterprisers have to deal with.These business owners，however，feel the advantages outweigh the disadvantages.In the US，the mobile food business alone generates an average annual income of $857 million.
Once convinced that their business has achieved enough success，some successful mobile enterprisers move on to a brick-and-mortar business.Others are satisfied to stay mobile.As stand-alone businesses or as extensions of shops，mobile retail has huge future potential in these economic times.
5．What’s the major cause for the rise of mobile business
A．High profit.
B．Strong interest.
C．Low investment.
D．Convenient transport.
6．How does the author prove the advantages of mobile business in paragraph 2
A．By quoting a famous saying.
B．By giving an example.
C．By providing an explanation.
D．By making a comparison.
7．What can we know about mobile business
A．Food business is the biggest mobile business.
B．Mobile business in UK involves all walks of life.
C．Weather brings the most challenge to mobile enterprisers.
D．Mobile enterprisers doing well often move to brick-and-mortar businesses.
8．What’s the author’s attitude towards the future of mobile business
A．Negative. B．Positive.
C．Distrustful. D．Neutral.
Ⅳ.七选五(每小题2.5分，共12.5分)
Disposing of unwanted items in our lives often means simply throwing them into the garbage.It’s different with old credit cards，which should be destroyed so nobody can use them fraudulently(欺诈地)．__1__ Here’s how to get rid of an old card.
First，contact the issuer
If closing the account is your goal，you’ll have to call the number on the back of your card and ask to do so.If your card is a rewards card，remember to first redeem points or cash back.
Cut up plastic cards
Sharp scissors and smart trimming will do the job here.“We recommend that consumers cut through the EMV chip，then further cut the card a few times along the short side，and dispose of the sections in more than one trash bag，” says Sarah，a spokeswoman for the American Bankers Association.__2__
Send back metal cards
__3__ Contact your issuer.Typically，you can mail it back for disposal.“For example，when American Express sends a replacement card，it also sends an addressed return envelope to mail back an old metal card for destruction，” says Heather，spokeswoman for American Express.
Check back on your account
Don’t obsess about identity theft of an old credit card.You generally won’t be responsible for fraudulent charges anyway.__4__ It’s a good idea to check your account statement to make sure there’s been no fraud.
Closing an account can hurt you
Closing a credit card account can lower your credit rating.That’s because credit scores consider how much of your available credit you’re using.And when you close an account，you have less available credit.__5__ Closing an old card decreases the average age of your accounts.
A．It could be worth closing the account anyway.
B．Or feed cards into a machine designed to handle them.
C．Scores also consider the length of time you’ve had the card open.
D．Destroying a metal card by yourself is harder and potentially dangerous.
E．Skip this step if you’re simply replacing an expired card or one that has been compromised.
F．Take care with debit cards and other plastic where fraud means you might be missing money.
G．But how to destroy a payment card properly is not obvious，especially with new metal credit cards.

语篇解读　本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了当前企业中因经济环境不好而出现的成本削减、头衔通胀等问题。为了安抚员工和求职者，企业采用的一种方法是给他们“高级”头衔，以弥补不能提供加薪或高薪的缺陷。虽然头衔可以增强员工在职场中的信誉，但如果头衔过高，却会给员工和求职者带来不利影响，特别是在找新工作时，会被招聘者认为是有不良动机的。
1．C　[词义猜测题。根据画线词前面的“Businesses are now in cost cutting mode.”可知，企业现在正处于成本削减模式，故可推断裁员、招聘冻结和对经济衰退的担忧正在困扰着雇主们。因此画线词与C选项“Troubling(困扰)”为同义词。故选C。]
2．B　[推理判断题。根据第二段第二句可知，雇主们提供令人印象深刻的头衔，以减轻不给内部员工加薪或不给求职者提供高额薪酬带来的冲击，由此可推断，那些有高大上头衔的员工的薪水与他们的头衔不匹配。故选B。]
3．C　[细节理解题。根据第四段的“However，a stumbling block arises when they notice the candidate has a higher title than the client offers.Since a recruiter wants to make a placement and earn a fee，they won’t waste time and will seek out other candidates who are a better fit.”可知，如果求职者的头衔高于客户的要求，招聘人员可能不会考虑该求职者。故选C。]
4．D　[观点态度题。根据最后一段的“For example，when searching for a new job，if your title is ‘director’，but the new role is under that level，the interviewer will curiously inquire，‘why do you want to go down in title？’There will be an assumption from the hiring manager that something isn’t right.”可知，招聘经理对那些选择降级的求职者的态度是怀疑的。故选D。]
语篇解读　本文是一篇说明文。文章主要解释了如今移动生意兴起背后的原因、面临的挑战以及前景。
5．C　[细节理解题。根据第二段第一句“Beginning on a small scale has its advantages，the most important of which is the relatively modest size of start up costs.”可知，移动生意兴起的主要原因是投资少，故选C。]
6．D　[推理判断题。根据第二段中“With such tightly controlled costs，mobile businesses often break even in a year or two; in contrast，success comes to brick and mortar businesses much more slowly，and they often fail within the first two years.In short，mobile businesses are relatively low risk.”可推知，作者在第二段通过比较证明了移动生意的优势，故选D。]
7．D　[细节理解题。根据最后一段第一句“Once convinced that their business has achieved enough success，some successful mobile enterprisers move on to a brick and mortar business.”可知，成功的移动企业家通常会转向实体企业。故选D。]
8．B　[观点态度题。根据最后一段最后一句“As stand alone businesses or as extensions of shops，mobile retail has huge future potential in these economic times.”可推知，作者对移动生意的未来持积极态度，故选B。]
Ⅳ.
语篇解读　本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了一些处理旧信用卡的方法。
1．G　[根据空前内容可知，处理旧的信用卡不能像处理普通垃圾那样直接扔了。选项G“But how to destroy a payment card properly is not obvious，especially with new metal credit cards.”是上文内容的自然延续，同时引出下文“Here’s how to get rid of an old card.”如何处理旧的信用卡。故选G。]
2．B　[根据空前内容“Sharp scissors and smart trimming will do the job here...Bankers Association.”可知，空前主要是介绍了如何用剪刀剪旧的信用卡。选项B“Or feed cards into a machine designed to handle them.”延续上文内容，指的是除了用剪刀剪卡片之外，我们还可以将卡片送入专门处理卡片的机器。故选B。]
3．D　[根据空后的“Contact your issuer.Typically，you can mail it back for disposal.”可知，空后主要讲述的是可以将信用卡寄回发行机构进行销毁。选项D“Destroying a metal card by yourself is harder and potentially dangerous.”自然引出空后内容，指的是如果自己无法处理金属卡，可以将其寄回发行机构。故选D。]
4．F　[根据空后内容“It’s a good idea to check your account statement to make sure there’s been no fraud.”可知，检查账户对账单是有必要的，以确保没有欺诈行为。选项F“Take care with debit cards and other plastic where fraud means you might be missing money.”与下文内容一致，指的是欺诈可能会让你丢钱，所以要小心处理借记卡和其他的信用卡。故选F。]
5．C　[根据空后内容“Closing an old card decreases the average age of your accounts.”可知，关闭旧的信用卡会减少你账户的平均使用年限。选项C“Scores also consider the length of time you’ve had the card open.”指的是信用评分会考虑到你开户时间的长短，与空后内容一致，且呼应上文的“credit scores consider...”句式。故选C。]

It’s not usual for your municipality(市政当局) to give you money—actually more like a voucher(代金券)—but Miami-Dade County in Florida is switching things up a bit and doing just that for residents who leave their cars home.
The county is troubled with big traffic jams and was looking for a way to reduce traffic and improve the quality of life for the residents.That’s why county leaders decided to team up with a new mobility app Velocia that believes in rewarding people every time they commute(通勤) via public transportation.
Miami’s mayor Carlos Gimenez announced，“Velocia is a revolutionary mobility app that offers rewards for smart decisions that help people break the habit of traveling alone in cars.The ultimate goal of the program is to reduce traffic and carbon emissions.”
The idea came from a Fastrack Institute—non-profit foundation.It’s easy to use，just download the app on your iPhone and then leave your car at home and the mobility app tracks what transportation you use.Residents that use trains or buses，or even use bicycles，or their feet to get to work will earn points.The points，according to Velocia will translate into a virtual currency in your iPhone.
The case of Miami-Dade County is not alone.Municipalities worldwide are working on ways to reduce car use to cut back on greenhouse emissions and to make cities more livable.Places like Amsterdam，Netherlands and Hamburg，Germany are committed to making walking and biking the dominant form of transportation in their city centers.Other cities are providing free public transportation to cut down on car use.
David Winterstein，Velocia CEO said，“If more US municipalities adopt programs like the Velocia app，it could go a long way to reduce smog，greenhouse gasses，and wasted time sitting in jammed streets.It really would be a win-win for city residents.”
1．What should participants in the program of Miami county do
A．Travel alone in cars.
B．Pay the taxes or tickets.
C．Drive with a new mobility app.
D．Take public transportation to work.
2．What does paragraph 4 mainly focus on
A．The operation process of the app Velocia.
B．The advantages of the traffic program.
C．The introduction to a virtual currency.
D．The various ways of getting the reward.
3．Why are other cities mentioned in paragraph 5
A．To indicate the background of the program.
B．To show the effect of the new mobility app.
C．To present the popularity of low-carbon travel.
D．To raise awareness of protecting the environment.
4．What is the best title of the text
A．A New Mobility App Makes Cities More Livable
B．Miami-Dade Rewards Residents for Leaving Their Cars Home
C．An App Reward Makes Miami-Dade People More Wealthy
D．Miami-Dade Is Longing to Improve People’s Quality of Life

Spring Festival is a special occasion for children because they receive red envelopes(hongbao) from elders on the occasion.While in the past，children used to rejoice after receiving hongbao from elders in person，nowadays they mostly receive them online thanks to the coming of mobile payment apps such as Alipay and WeChat，which urged the central bank to create a new legal tender(法定货币) for online transactions(交易)．
That’s how the digital renminbi came into being.The digital currency has increased the types of negotiable instruments issued by the central bank and diversified the payment tools.Yet the promotion and application of the digital renminbi faces some challenges，especially because it is yet to be recognized nationwide.
First，thanks to Alipay and WeChat，they account for almost 95 percent of the mobile payment market.Based on these payment apps，a complete consumer application ecosystem has been established covering activities such as shopping，traveling，giving red envelopes，making payments，and investing funds.In the short term，however，the “digital renminbi wallet” can hardly shake the existing payment and transaction ecosystem.
Second，payments made through the digital renminbi are not channeled through bank accounts.Instead，they are deposited directly into “digital accounts” and transactions can be completed through an electronic device，which may cause users to worry about the security of their deposits，particularly because if a user loses his or her cell phone，he/she could lose a lot of money.
Third，the digital renminbi may be a substitute for cash，but the public is not attracted to it because it has no appreciation value.While people can earn interest on bank deposits，no interest is offered on digital renminbi deposits.
In fact，the original design of the digital renminbi was for retail—to make transactions more convenient for consumers and merchants.The central bank，too，has said all the research and development is to ensure the digital currency replaces cash，which shows its aim is to use it for retail，especially to make life more convenient for the public with the help of the Internet and mobile apps.
5．Why does the author mention hongbao in paragraph 1
A．To describe the children’s preferences.
B．To stress the existence of mobile payment.
C．To introduce the appearance of the digital renminbi.
D．To show the distinctiveness of Spring Festival.
6．What do we know about the digital renminbi according to the text
A．It has no profits generated.
B．It is acceptable nationwide.
C．It is safe for the bank depositors.
D．It can replace the existing payment.
7．What is the initial aim of the digital renminbi
A．Bringing convenience for retail trade.
B．Promoting online shopping.
C．Stimulating festive consumption.
D．Increasing investment methods.
8．What is the author’s attitude to the digital renminbi
A．Ambiguous. B．Doubtful.
C．Favorable. D．Objective.
