21、Sharing economy began as a means to profit from idle assets(闲置资产). But sharing assets has been around for thousands of years. The difference lies in the development of the Internet. It has proven to be the most effective tool in bringing people with means and people with needs together at an unprecedented rate.
People, who were not necessarily entrepreneurs, would rent out their cars or houses that are not in use to others who are looking for alternatives to traditional transportation and accommodation businesses. This peer-to-peer(点对点的) concept was simple, but its inventiveness quickly transformed their respective industries. They even transformed views regarding ownership—since using their services significantly reduces the need for owning cars or houses.
Today, the sharing economy has developed into something involving numerous dealings over the Internet. Some of the leading e-commerce websites like Amazon, Ebay, and Alibaba have now become platforms shared by small businesses to display their products. Even the delivery of sold goods is being outsourced to different businesses. Although not as apparent as ride or home-sharing, these online shopping malls are also success stories of the sharing economy.
The gig economy(零工经济) has closely been related to the sharing economy since the beginning. The former is defined by its system of filling temporary positions in organizations with independent contractors. It can even be said that the gig economy is a huge and essential part, but a part nevertheless, of the sharing economy. If the sharing economy is changing the concept of ownership, the gig economy is changing the concept of employment. Companies now widely share talents and skills in the form of outsourced help. Although this is not entirely a new occurrence, digitalization has been an enormous help.
【1】What can we conclude from paragraph 1?
A.Sharing economy separates people.
B.People make profits by selling their idle assets.
C.The Internet improves the efficiency of sharing.
D.Assets sharing is a new product of the Internet.
【2】What might be a potential result of sharing economy?

【3】What do we know about the gig economy?
A.It features flexible staffing.
B.It appears before sharing economy.
C.It refers to hiring permanent workers.
D.It narrows the concepts of employment.
【4】What can be the best title for the text?
A.Future of Sharing Economy.
B.Appearance of Gig Economy.
C.Development of Sharing Economy.
D.Gig Economy and Sharing Economy.
22、Here is a checklist for whether you can do the following things to live a better life. Tick if you can.
Talk about your emotions and difficulties. We tend to have difficulty expressing our emotions, yet they drive so much of what we do. Worse, we compensate with drugs and alcohol to mask our feelings of not being successful. Talking about how we feel, honestly, can free us. Don’t be afraid of not being successful. We think being loved is equal to being successful, but as Vanier said, “You are beautiful as you are.” The true measure of a person is not defined by the size of his/her bank account. It’s defined by their emotional bank account, how kind they are and how they treat others. We might envy (忌妒) Mark Zuckerberg’s wealth, but admire people like Mother Teresa more. In a relationship, take the time to ask: “How are you?” You’re married to your spouse, not success. Yes, work is important to provide for our families. But being there for our families is even more important. Take the time to check in. Ask how your spouse and kids are doing. They’ll remember your thoughtfulness and love much more than your career success. Stop looking at your phone. Be present! The digital age has brought us instant communication, but are we really talking to one another? Listen to your deepest desire and follow it. Unlike animals, human beings have moral and spiritual needs. Beyond eating, procreating and existing, we search for the unknown. All of us have an inner voice that guides us. Our hearts often tell us when we are off course. Learn to trust your heart. Remember that you will die one day. Jean Vanier noted that “We’re all here, but we are just local people. Passengers on a journey. We get on and off the train and the world will continue.” Remembering that you will die one day can help guide our actions today. It can reshape the kind of person we want to be. |
【1】According to the passage, how can we feel relieved?
A.By fearing success.
B.By communicating your feelings.
C.By inquiring people.
D.By leaving your phone behind.
【2】What does the 4th rule tell us?
A.You are married to your husband/wife.
B.You must work for your family.
C.You should pay more attention to people around you than your work.
D.You have to ask your family’s daily routine.
【3】These are the rules all about ______.
A.keeping you fit
B.improving your life attitude
C.interacting with people
D.having a relationship
23、Some people can walk into a room and instantly put everyone at ease. Others seem to make teeth clench and eyes roll no matter what they do. A small body of psychology research supports the idea that the way a person tends to make others feel is a consistent and measurable part of his personality. Researchers call it “effective presence.”
This concept was first described nearly 10 years ago in a study led by No ah Eisenkraft, a business professor at Washington University. He put business-school students into groups, had them register for all the same classes for a semester, and do every group project together. Then the members of each group rated how much every other member made them feel eight different emotions: stressed, bored, angry, sad, calm, relaxed, happy, and enthusiastic. The researchers found that a significant portion of group members ‘ emotions could be accounted for by the effective presence of their peers.
It seems that “our own way of being has an emotional signature.” says Elfenbein.
It’s been known for some time that emotions are infectious. But effective presence is an effect one has regardless of one’s own feelings—those with positive effective presence make other people feel good even if they personally are anxious or sad, and the opposite is true for those with negative effective presence
Unsurprisingly, people who consistently make others feel good are morn central to their social networks—in Elfenbein’s study, more of their classmate considered them to be friends. Sector Madrid, an organizational-behavior professor, has found that leaders with positive affective presence have teams that are better at sharing information, which leads to creativity. Inferiors are more likely to voice their ideas, too.
However, Elfenbein notes that positive effective presence isn’t naturally good. Psychopaths(精神变态者) are infamously charming and nay well use their positive effective presence for calculating ends. Neither is negative effective presence necessarily always a bad thing in a leader— think of a football coach yelling at the team at half time, motivating them to make a comeback. She suspects that effective presence is closely related to emotional intelligence which one can use to cure cancer or to be a criminal master mind.
【1】What does the underlined phrase “make teeth clench” in Paragraph 1 mean?
A.Make people upset or angry.
B.Make people glad or refreshed.

【3】What do you know about effective presence according to the text?
A.It is for calculating ends.
B.It is a double-edged sword.

D.It is the positive emotional influence on others.

24、I am an ordinary 17-year-old girl. I go to school, chat to my friends and play my guitar. I don't have much in my mind. At least, that's what most people think. In fact, life changed drastically (巨大地) for me and my family in the summer of 2011, when I was 10. It was a beautiful summer's day when my dad had his accident. He had gone out for a bike ride and seemed to be taking a lot longer than usual. When Mum called him to check if everything was all right, a nurse answered the phone. I was inside the house and could hear her speaking to someone in the garden. As I looked out of the door.
I knew something terrible had happened. She looked stricken ( 受困 扰的) and I stood worriedly in the doorway until she hung up and told me Dad was in hospital. He had been involved in a road accident and had a severe injury. On that beautiful day, we didn’t have many details about what was going on because the nurse couldn’t disclose a lot through the phone and the unknown was the scariest thing. I had no idea whether my dad was going to live. My mum went alone to the hospital and I stayed at my grandparents’ house. I was too shaken to do anything, so I just sat quietly and hoped that everything would be OK. I don't have any siblings (兄弟姐妹), so Mum and I were the only ones in the house for the eight months when Dad was in hospital. It seemed empty and quiet especially as Mum was sometimes at work when I got back from school. Before Dad went into hospital there had always been someone there asking me about my day and helping me with homework. Now there wasn’t. I became more independent and tried to take care of myself as much as possible. When I think about my life, I split (分成) it into before and after the accident because I feel like a very different, more mature person than the one I was before. Most people’s childhood fades slowly into adolescence and then adult life, but mine ended abruptly (突然地). I was forced to grow up.

26、阅读下面短文,根据所给情节进行续写,使之构成一个完整的故事。
It was a cold yet sunny Saturday morning in February. Dad’s New Year’s resolution had been to get fit. Mum pushed him out of bed and told him to go jogging by the river. Later, after a nice lie-in, she went downstairs in her dressing gown and found the kids watching TV. She turned it off and said she was going to do something really special for Dad’s birthday. If they overheard anything, just promised to keep it secret.
Jenny looked at Mum with a puzzled expression on her forehead and promised they wouldn’t say anything whatever happened. But Jenny reminded Dad’s birthday was in June and it might be a little too early to get all steamed up about it.
Silent for a moment, Mum said she was not getting everything ready but just wanted to spare enough time for preparation as this year it’s a bigger deal than usual. Dad was going to be 50.
“50! Gosh, that’s half a century,” spluttered Gerry. “I knew he was old, but I didn’t realize he was ancient!”
Indeed, that was why Mum started planning a special party for him. Mum talked with grandma about the plan because her house was the only one in the family that is spacious enough for all friends and relatives. Grandma quite agreed and also started preparing.
“But you know how Dad feels guilty to bother others. You’ve got to admit,” reminded Jenny. Thinking over the special occasion, Mum was continuing with her secret when one evening, Dad was sitting at the dinner table and he suddenly slapped his forehead, “I just realized that I am going to be 50 in June. Let’s just quietly forget about it. I want to mourn (哀悼) the passing of my youth in private.”
“Oh, come on Dad, don’t be such a spoil-sport!” begged the kids, hoping to give mum a hand.
Realizing no more chance to hide the secret, Mum carefully worded her thought and shared her plan of having a little party at grandma’s house. Dad was stunned (震惊的) to no reply.
