21、 At one point in June last year, Zeng Jinpeng was more than 10,000 yuan in debt to a smart phone app. The 23-year-old Shanghai citizen pays for his online purchases of food, clothes, and travel with Huabei, a virtual credit card that's part of Alibaba Group Holding Ltd.’s spreading stable of e-commerce. His spending often used to go beyond his only source of income: the 8,000-yuan monthly allowance from his parents. He tried to repay the debt in installments, even borrowing from Jiebei, another Alibaba-owped credit service, but eventually his mother and father had to help him out.
Zeng's story is typical of members of China's Generation Z. These young consumers, born from the mid-1990s to the early 2000s, have little income and therefore actually no credit history. Yet they have easy access to credit from an assortment of banks, financial-tech companies, and peer-to-peer (P2P) Jenders (网络借贷平台), plus other channels that are unregulated. The spending habits of the young in particular are causing concern. In some cases the younger generation is being tempted to overconsume via credit secured through technology. Unsecured consumer leading has expanded 20% a year in China since 2008.The amount of consumer finance available through the Internet will more than double, to 19 trillion yuan, by 2021, from 7.8 trillion yuan last year. Official data showed that almost 70%.of China’s 50 million P2P borrowers were younger than 40.
As for Zeng, he's trying to be a little more frugal, even though he is now trying to earn a little by himself. "I deliberately set the credit limit at a lower level," he say, "so that hopefully I can better match my income with spending."
Regulators(监管部门)last year launched a breakdown on peer-to-peer lending, which, besides being a source of easy credit, had also become a popular investment vehicle. The sector has shrunk to less than half its peak size as a result of forced shutdowns.
【1】What can we learn about Zeng Jiapeng from the first paragraph?
A.He was in debt because he bought smart phone app.
B.He liked purchasing on the app Huabei of Alibaba Group.
C.He always spent more than he earned from his salary in the past.
D.He depended on his parents to support him to repay his debt.
【2】Which of the following words best describes China's online consumer finance?
A.Crazy. B.Hopeless. C.Controlled. D.Reasonable.
【3】What does the underlined word "frugal" in Paragraph 3 probably mean?'
A.Impractical. B.Hardworking. C.Avoiding waste. D.Relying on others.
【4】Which of the following can be the best title?.
A.Overconsumption—A Bad Habit B.China’s Generation Z—Hooked On Credit
C.Chinese Youth In the E-commerce Age D.Zeng Jinpeng’s Financial Crisis

23、South Africa is a multiethnic society encompassing a wide variety of cultures, languages, and religions. It has 11 official languages. If you want to say hello, it's "sawubona" in Zulu, and "hallo" in Afrikaans. Now, South Africa's school children may start using "ni hao" to say hello.
The country's education minister says, the nation is adding the Mandarin language teaching in some schools. Mandarin is the official spoken language of China. That country is a major trading power for South Africa.
A recent agreement between the two nations centers on five areas of cooperation. They include development in basic education, school books and lessons, mathematics and science, teacher training and career education and research.
South Africa officials have not said how much they teaching Mandarin will cost. Troy Martens is an officials with South Africa's Ministry of Basic Education. She says the new partnership is extremely valuable.
A public opinion study last year found that South Africans have mixed feelings about China. The survey showed 46 percent of South Africans do not like the spread of Chinese ideas and customs in their country, the results also showed that 60 percent dislike Chinese music, movies and television.
But Ms Martens said Chinese trade is more important than those feelings. She said it is extremely helpful to learners in South Africa to study Mandarin as well as Chinese culture. And she said not every school will offer Mandarin.
“Now this will not be compulsory, it will not be for every school, and it will not be for every child. But for schools that feel they have the capacity to offer Mandarin as a subject, we think it is a great opportunity for South African learners to be exposed to this international type of language,” said Martens.
Lisette Noonan heads the 80-year-old Pretoria Chinese School in South Africa's capital. The school serves about 500 students from kindergarten to grade 12. Every student studies Mandarin.
Ms Noonan says the school welcomes the new cooperation between South Africa and China. She said it is in the best interests of children to study Mandarin. She said that especially true with China becoming what she called “a huge economic power in the world”

24、Look at the map of Spain and point at the center. You’ve located the country’s capital and one of Europe’s most beautiful cities: Madrid. This popular destination is considered a city of contrasts with its abundant historic sites, resting in the shadows of modern skyscrapers.
History
This city of over 3 million people is proud of Western Europe’s largest royal palace, and some consider it to be Madrid’s most beautiful building.
Inside the Royal Palace 2,800 rooms are decorated in glory with museum-quality furniture and artworks. Tourists can tour 50 of these large and splendid rooms.
Art
The Internationally respected Prado Museum is the largest and most impressive art gallery in Spain. Opened in 1819, it is filled with works of art that feature the world’s most comprehensive collection of Spanish paintings.
Shopping
Madrid has some of Europe’s best shopping, and potential buyers love to look through the stores looking for bargains. But for 500 years, shoppers have gathered to an extremely large outdoor flea (跳蚤) market known as the Rastro where they find everything from antiques to CDs.
Entertainment
No trip to Madrid is complete without seeing a performance of Spain’s famous art form, flamenco. Every day, flamenco performers sing, dance or play the guitar in small cafes and grand theaters alike.
Food
Madrid has a wide variety of restaurants, but because the Spanish typically eat late at about 9 or 10 p.m., it’s difficult to find good dinner food earlier.

26、阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
I sat in the chair in our living room, staring at my parents, who had just given me the news that my hero, best friend and grandpa, had Alzheimer’s (阿尔茨海默病). I did not want to believe it. Alzheimer’s would slowly rob my grandpa of his intellect and his social abilities severely enough to interfere with daily functioning. It has no known cure.
The thought of that happening to my grandpa scared me. How could someone who I love so much and who lived such a great life slowly lose his memories of everything around him? All I could do was cry and think of all the sweet times we used to have.
“Grandpa! I call, as I run at full speed into his arms just like every Sunday afternoon before. He opens his arms and braces for the leap. He is a strong man with welcoming eyes and never ending love. I am about six years old, and we have carried on this tradition every Sunday since I could walk. It is something I look forward to when Mom says “Get ready we are going to Grandpa’s.”
As we head inside the house, I smell the sweet smell of Grandma’s cooking. Grandpa puts his arms around me and gives me a tight squeeze that is all too familiar. Since my dad works a second shift job and someone needs to watch me, Grandpa is like a second father and we have a deep connection. “I love you, Grandpa,” I say. “I love you too, my pretty Morgan,” he replies.
The dinner table is not just a place where we eat a good meal but also a place where we laugh together. We talk about the things that have happened since our last encounter and share stories of the past. Then comes my favorite part of any meal---dessert which Grandpa and I share an equal love. As always, Grandpa heads to the kitchen and I close my eyes, put my arms across my chest and wait. Being the curious kid that I am, I ask when he is coming back at least five times. He uses that to teach me patience. We share a moment no one else would understand.
Memories washed over me. As I came back to the present and reality, my eyes were watery. I rushed to his home to see him.
