A new taxi-hailing (打车) app on smart phones started to be in use in Shanghai in October, 2020, allowing users to hail a taxi with only one press, as it requires no input of destination information. This app called “Shen Cheng Chu Xing” is more user-friendly. The setting is developed to offer more convenience (方便) to the elderly. They have been struggling to keep up with the new technology in daily life.

Users can hail a taxi by simply pressing the “hail” button (按键) and standing right where they are for the arrival of a nearby taxi that picks up the order. The app is also set in the city’s more than 200 taxi waiting stops, where those without a smart phone can hail a taxi.

“Fnally, I could manage to hail a taxi without my daughter’s help. It’s so amazing!” Wang Junxia, a 68-year-old lady said.

Supervised (监管) by the city government and SAIC Motor (上汽集团), the app will provide users with over 20,000 taxis by 100 taxi companies in the city.

The app can automatically (自动地) catch the real-time position of passengers and this will help drivers reach a pick-up position more efficiently and reduce the time of taxis hanging around the city without passengers, according to Yuan Dongliang, general manager of the app.

To ensure the safety of customers, all the taxi drivers must pass health and background checks before they can receive orders from the app.

The local government said the app will also be updated in the near future to include more functions, such as helping drivers find nearby restrooms and dining places.

【1】The underlined word “they” in Paragraph 1 refers to ________.

A．people of advanced age

B．drivers with good background

A．To ensure the safety of drivers.

B．To make drivers increase their orders.

C．To provide customers with instructions.

D．To help customers without smart phones.

【5】What’s the best title for the text?

26、   When I was a kid in Minnesota, watermelons were expensive. One of my father's friends, Bernie, was a rich businessman, who owned a large store in St.Paul.

Every summer, when the first watermelons arrived, Bernie would call. Dad and I would go to Bernie's place. We'd sit on the edge of the dock(码头), and got ready for a big meal.

Bernie would take out his knife, cut our first watermelon, hand us both a big piece and sit down next to us. Then we'd bury our faces in watermelons, eating only the heart-the reddest, juiciest, firmest, sweetest, and most seed-free part-and throw away the rest.

Bernie was my father's ideal of a rich man. I always thought it was because he was such a successful businessman. Years later, I realized that it was not Bernie's wealth itself but his way of dealing with it that my father liked. Bernie knew how to stop working, get together with friends and eat only the heart of the watermelon.

What I learned from Bernie is that being rich is a state of mind. If you don't take the time to dangle(摇摆)your feet over the dock and enjoy life's small pleasure, your work will probably hurt your life.

For many years, I forgot that lesson I'd learned as a kid on the dock. I was too busy making all the money I could. Well, I've relearned it. I hope I have time left to enjoy the success of others and to take pleasure in the day. That's the heart of the watermelon. I have learned again to throw the rest away.

【1】How were the watermelons to the writer when he was young?

A.Not common. B.Not cheap. C.Not delicious. D.Not sweet.

【2】How did the writer and his father eat the watermelon?

A.They ate it in a polite way. B.They only ate its best part.

C.They ate every part of it. D.They shared only one piece.

【3】What did the writer's father think of Bernie?

A.He was just a rich businessman. B.He worked hard all the time.

C.He lived a rich but healthy life. D.He knew how to make money.

【4】What do the underlined words "the heart of the watermelon" in the last paragraph refer to?

A.The best part of the watermelon. B.The writer's busy life.

C.The writer's decision of making money. D.The writer's hope of enjoying life.

【5】What can be learned from the text?

A.One has to work hard to reach his goal. B.One should help a friend in trouble.

C.Watermelon is the healthiest fruit. D.One should keep work and life balance.

27、Everyone has got two personalities (性格) — the one that is shown to the world and the other that is secret and real. You don't show your secret personality when you're awake because you can control yourself, but when you're asleep, your sleeping position shows the real you. In a normal night, of course, you often change your sleeping positions. The important position that best shows your secret personality is the one that you go to sleep in.

If you go to sleep on your back, you're a very open person. You normally trust people and you are easily influenced by new ideas. You don't like to make people unhappy, so you never express your real feelings. You're quite shy and you aren't very confident.

If you sleep on your stomach, you are a person who likes to keep secrets. You worry a lot and you're always easily becoming sad. You never want to change your ideas, but you are satisfied with your life the way it is. You usually live for today not for tomorrow.

If you sleep on curled up (蜷缩), you are probably a very nervous person. You have a low opinion of yourself and often protect yourself from being hurt, so you are very defensive. You're shy and you don't usually like meeting people. You like to be on your own.

If you sleep on your side, you have usually got a well-balanced personality. You know your strengths and weaknesses. You're usually careful. You have a confident personality. You sometimes feel worried, but you don't often get unhappy. You always say what you think, even if it makes people angry.

【1】You may find the passage in________.

A. a science magazine  B. a guide book

C. a sports newspaper  D. a story book

【2】When does the sleeping position best show your secret personality?
