Year39。s resolutions (愿望)—living abroad has made me constantly reconsider what kind of person I want to be and how I will live my life, so I don39。 For the past two years I have been travelling and living abroad. Home has bee more of a feeling than a place. I feel at home when I am with my family in London, but I also feel at home in Italy with friends I love. Home is no longer a picture of a house with a front door and some windows. It is more plicated than that.6.閱讀短文,從每題所給的四個(gè)選項(xiàng)(A、B、C和D)中,選出最佳選項(xiàng)。故選B。t get vaccinated.”疫苗不僅保護(hù)你自己,而且保護(hù)其他人的健康和安全。 (3)考查推理判斷。根據(jù)倒數(shù)第二段中的“Despite how strongly my mother felt, I went through with it anyway.”不管我媽媽強(qiáng)烈反對,我還是堅(jiān)持了下來)可知,媽媽對于作者與家庭醫(yī)生的約會感動惱怒。故選D。t received any of the necessary shots to attend school.”可知,學(xué)校的醫(yī)生會告訴我,我沒有接受過任何必要的上學(xué)必須要進(jìn)行的接種。 (1)考查細(xì)節(jié)理解。接種疫苗很重要,因?yàn)槿绻悴唤臃N,有人可能會死。D.Thrilled.B.Annoyed.He was hardly ever vaccinated.(2)How might the author39。t hand in his term paper on time.t behave himself at school.C.B.s office at the beginning of each school year?

In Ohio, where I live, I had to wait until I became a legal adult to make the decision to receive vaccine shots. A huge factor in taking the step to ensure my health was the message board website Reddit. Last November, I asked Reddit users for advice about what vaccines to ask for and how to go about getting them from a doctor. After my post received more than 1,000 ments, I made an appointment with my family physician. Despite how strongly my mother felt, I went through with it anyway.After doing a lot of research, I found although people who don39。s office.

Most financial firms are keen to abandon it, or discourage oldfashioned customers with heavy fees.”可知現(xiàn)金消失的一個(gè)重要原因就是諸如銀行和科技公司(在發(fā)達(dá)市場)和電信公司(在新興市場)之類的供應(yīng)商正在開發(fā)快速,易于使用的支付技術(shù),他們可以從中提取數(shù)據(jù)和小費(fèi)。故選C。根據(jù)第三段中的“In Sweden the number of retail cash transaction per person has fallen by 80% in the past ten years.”可知在過去的十年中,瑞典的人均零售現(xiàn)金交易數(shù)量下降了80%;再根據(jù)“In China digital payments rose from 4% of all payments in 2012 to 34% in 2017.”可知在中國,數(shù)字支付從2012年占所有支付的4%上升到2017年的34%。故選D。根據(jù)第一段中的“Rich countries are racing to dematerialise payments.”可知, 富裕國家正競相將支付非物質(zhì)化;再根據(jù)第三段中的“In Sweden the number of retail cash transaction per person has fallen by 80% in the past ten years.”在過去的十年中,瑞典的人均零售現(xiàn)金交易數(shù)量下降了80%。總的來說,無現(xiàn)金經(jīng)濟(jì)的未來是個(gè)好消息,但是對于電子支付人們也有一些擔(dān)憂。D.C.B..

A.promote payment without paper money or coins(2)In paragraph 3, several countries are mentioned to show get rid of the sideeffects of cashC.. A. Yet set against these benefits are a couple of worries. Electronic payment systems may risk technical failures, power failure and cyberattacks. In a cashless economy the poor, the elderly and country folk may be left behind. And a digital system could let governments watch over people39。 Cash is dying out because of two forces. One is demand— younger consumers want payment systems that plug easily into their digital lives. But equally important is that suppliers such as banks and tech firms (in developed markets) and teles panies (in emerging ones) are developing fast, easytouse payment technologies from which they can pull data and pocket fees. There is a high cost to running the infrastructure behind the cash economy—ATMs, vans carrying notes, tellers who accept coins. Most financial firms are keen to abandon it, or discourage oldfashioned customers with heavy fees. For the past 3,000 years, when people thought of money they thought of cash. Over the past decade, however, digital payments have taken off— tapping your plastic on a terminal or swiping a smartphone has bee normal. Now this revolution is about to turn cash into an endangered species in some rich economies. That will make the economy more efficient—but it also causes new problems that could hold back the transition(轉(zhuǎn)型).4.閱讀理解 故選D。s Theatre中It is remended for children aged 7 or over, and children under 5 are prohibited.”建議7歲以上兒童觀看,5歲以下兒童禁看。s Theatre中You must be 12 or older to enter the theatre.”你必須年滿12歲才能進(jìn)入劇院。;“Kinky Boots, Adelphi TheatreChildren under 3 are free except in reserved seating. ”3歲以下兒童免費(fèi),但預(yù)留座位除外。 (3)考查推理判斷??芍狶es Miserables是世界上播放時(shí)間最長的音樂劇。s Theatre部分中的“In October 2015 Les Miserables celebrated its 30th Anniversary in London and is now the world39。 (2)考查細(xì)節(jié)理解??芍狵inky Boots的作曲家是Cyndi Lauper。根據(jù)Kinky Boots , Adelphi Theatre部分中的“Fans of musical edy won39。The audiences should check the age policy before buying the tickets.【答案】 (1)A(2)D(3)D 【解析】【分析】本文是一篇應(yīng)用文,介紹了四個(gè)劇院最新節(jié)目的情況。The shows are adapted from ancient stories.C.Les Miserables.(3)What can we infer about the shows mentioned in the passage?
