二、阅读理解（共4题，共 20分）

26、Wi-Fi: a word which has its own little brother in the form of a complicated (复杂的) password (密码) which, no matter how hard you try, you can never guess. A word which is so often stuck to the inside of windows in cafes and bars as an extra way of drawing customers inside. Last summer, I spent four months working in France, where the company I was working for put me up in a house which didn’t have Wi-Fi, meaning I had no access to the Internet.

I soon discovered, however, that living in a house without Wi-Fi, was easier than I expected.

Contact between my friends and family was significantly reduced to the occasional text message here and there. I couldn’t enjoy my usual web browsing (浏览) on BBC iPlayer, social media sites, keeping up to date with the news, or even wanting to know the opening hours of shops in the new area I was in.

I didn’t, however, spend a full four months without connecting to a Wi-Fi network. It was only a five-minute walk to the reception where I could connect for free and spend as much time online as I wanted to at my leisure. It made me think, though, how unnecessary it can be, how unnecessarily we rely on it—how we perhaps over rely on it. As a person, I was more sociable. I spent more time with my housemates instead of being glued to a computer screen. I did other things that I wouldn’t necessarily have done if I could have browsed the web at my leisure. I cooked meals for my friends, and I even tidied up more often. Above all else, I read some classics. Dare I say it: I learned how to live without Wi-Fi. Dare I say it; I found it was easier than I had imagined.

【1】What do cafes and bars use Wi-Fi to do according to the first paragraph?

A．To advertise their drinks.

B．To save time.

C．To keep in contact with customers.

D．To attract customers.

【2】How did the author keep in touch with his family when he was in France?

A．By flying home.

B．By writing letters.

C．By texting.

D．By sending e-mails.

【3】Which of the following can describe the author’s life in France?

A．He didn’t use Wi-Fi.

B．He visited his friends frequently.

C．He made full use of time.

D．He was homesick.

【4】Which of the following can be the best title of the passage?

A．Life without Wi-Fi

B．Life in France

C．Wi-Fi—A Popular Word

D．My Unusual Experience

27、If your in-box is currently reporting unread messages in the hundreds or thousands, you might have a hard time believing the news: e-mail is on the decline.

At first thought, that might seem to be the case. The incoming generation, after all, doesn’t do e-mail. Oh, they might have an account. They use it only as we would use a fax machine: as a means to communicate with old-school folks like their parents or to fulfill the sign-up requirements of Web sites. They rarely check it, though.

Today’s instant electronic memos—such as texting and Facebook and Twitter messages—are more direct, more concentrated, more efficient. They go without the salutation (称呼语) and the signoff (签收); we already know the “to” and “from”. Many corporations are moving to messaging networks for exactly that reason: more signals, less noise and less time. This trend is further evidence that store-and-forward systems such as e-mail and voicemail are outdated. Instead of my leaving you a lengthy message that you pick up later, I can now send you an easily-read message that you can read—and respond to—on the go.

The coming of the mobile era is responsible for the decline of e-mail. Instant messages bring great convenience to people. They can deal with them at about any time: before a movie, in a taxi, waiting for lunch. And because these notes are very brief, they’re a natural for smart phone typing.

Does this mean e-mail is on its way to the dustbin of digital history? Not necessarily. E-mail still has certain advantages. On the other hand, tweets and texts feel ephemeral—you read them, then they’re gone, into an endless string, but e-mail still feels like something you have and that you can file, search and return to later. It’s easy to imagine that it will continue to feel more appropriate for formal communications: agreements, important news, longer explanations.

So, e-mail won’t go away completely. Remember, we’ve been through a transition like this not so long ago: when e-mail was on the rise, people said that postal mail was dead. That’s not how it works. Postal mail found its smaller niche, and so will e-mail. Technology rarely replaces an institution completely; it just adds new alternatives.

【1】What would the incoming generation like to do with their e-mail accounts?

A．Contact close friends

B．Send long messages

C．Fill in some forms

D．Communicate with their colleagues

【2】Paragraphs 3-4 are important to the passage in that they ______.

A．illustrate the preferences of the young generation

B．explain the possible reasons behind the decline of e-mail

C．reveal the rapid development of e-communication channels

D．offer evidence about the uncertain future of easily-consumed messages

【3】What does the underlined word “ephemeral” in paragraph 5 mean?

A．Conveniently-sent

B．Randomly-written

C．Hardly readable

D．Short-lived

【4】According to the passage, which of the following statement is true?

A．It’s too early to determine the decline of e-mail.

B．E-mail has reasons to exist on its own advantages.

C．E-mail, just like postal mail has come to its end.

D．We should feel sorry for the decline of e-mail.

28、 Imagine on your way out of class today you trip (绊倒) on a rock and twist your ankle. As a result of the injury, you lose your place in the local sports team, and have to miss an important job interview. Bad luck? Or an opportunity to get rich quick?

Perhaps it's not surprising that an American woman, Roslyn Darch of Houston, Texas, USA felt annoyed when she tripped over a child running around a furniture store, and broke her ankle. But a few months later, she was $ 780,000 richer after successfully suing (控告) the shop. The owners were clearly surprised at the size of Roslyn's payout, particularly since the child she tripped over was her own son.

And it's not only suing cases of physical injuries that are keeping the lawyers busy. A group of overweight New York teenagers sued a giant fast-food company saying that they had not had enough warning that a diet of burgers, fries, and milk shakes would make them fat.

Apart from shop and restaurant, school is not a safe place, either. In an even more strange case, the parents of one nineteen-year-old English schoolgirl successfully sued her school for a compensation (赔偿) of £ 42,000 when she failed to get a top grade in a university entrance exam.

If you think that going on holiday is a good way to get away from all this trouble, think again-in Britain, millions of people sued travel companies, and many receive some form of compensation. Staff at those companies are used to dealing with requests for compensation following poor weather, cancelled air travels and lost luggage. And recently there was a case from someone who said his holiday was ruined because the locals didn't speak English.

Who knows where it will end? Maybe there should be punishment for unreasonable demands, or there should be a limit on payouts. But one thing is for sure-in the end, the only certain winner is the lawyer!

【1】How many examples of suing cases are mentioned in the passage?

A.2 B.3 C.4 D.5

【2】The writer's attitude towards the suing cases is _____.

A.supportive B.uncertain C.uninterested D.disapproving

【3】What is the best title for the passage?

A.To sue or not to sue? B.Successful suing cases

C.Compensation counts D.Different forms of compensation

29、After midnight, when the crowds of revellers (饮酒狂欢者) have gone, Choi Young-soo crouches (蹲) in a shabby alley in Seoul’s wealthy Gangnam district. This is the only time that the 35-year-old, a part-time food delivery rider, dare leave his tiny room at a cheap hotel he shares with about 30 other people. The rooms, he says, are “only slightly bigger than coffins(棺材)”.

Choi’s desperate situation is real. He is one of a large and growing number of ordinary South Koreans who find themselves choked by debt. “I feel like other people sense that I’m a failure, so I only come out at night to smoke and watch the lost cats,” says Choi.

Choi’s serious debt came with alarming speed. Just two years ago, he was working as an IT engineer for a firm. Years of punishing overtime and late nights seriously damaged his health. After lengthy discussions and a year spent planning and saving, he and his wife decided to open a pub in Incheon.

After an encouraging start, their business fell victim to the COVID-19 pandemic. After bars and restaurants were ordered to close as early as 9 pm to prevent the virus from spreading, the number of customers reduced to a trickle (细流), and then dried up altogether. After failing to pay their rent for four months, the couple sought help.

Securing a bank loan was surprisingly easy, but the interest rate was a steep 4%. Within months they had taken out loans from all five of South Korea’s high-street banks. Unavoidably, they had to borrow more to pay off existing loans, joining long queues of troubled business owners eager to secure cash from commercial lenders with interest at more than 17%.

Household debt in South Korea has risen in recent years and is now equal to more than 100% of GDP, a level not seen elsewhere in Asia. The rising household debt has gone hand in hand with a dramatically widening income gap worsened by rising youth unemployment and property prices in big cities beyond the means of most ordinary workers.

According to Lee In-cheol, the chief executive of the think tank Real Good Economic Research Institute, the total amount of debt run up by ordinary South Koreans exceeds GDP by 5%. In individual terms, it means that even if you saved every single penny you earned for an entire year, you would still be unable to repay your debt. In response, the country’s financial services commission and financial supervisory service recently decided to prevent more South Koreans from falling into debt. “That is why major banks have acted to limit borrowing,” says Lee.

【1】Why does Choi Young-soo come out only at night?

A．He opens his pub at night.

B．He has to look after his children.

C．He is unwilling to be laughed at.

D．He is afraid of being spotted by the banks.

【2】What caused Choi Young-soo to start applying for bank loans?

A．His poor health.

B．The failure of his business.

C．The desire to start his own business.

D．His being laid off by his former employer.

【3】What is paragraph 6(underlined) mainly about?

A．The types of household debt.

B．The influence of South Korea in Asia.

C．The sources of South Korea’s economic growth

D．Two major problems faced by South Korea’s families

【4】What might explain South Korea’s household debt crisis?

A．The widening income gap.

B．The easiness of taking out a loan.

C．The over-rapid growth of the economy.

D．The outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic.

32、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。

When my daughters reached the third and fourth grades, I sometimes allowed them to walk to and from school alone if the weather permitted. One warm spring day, a small friend followed them home after school. This friend had short legs and long floppy ears, with a furry coat and tiny spots across her nose. She was the cutest puppy I had ever seen and my girls begged me to keep her.

She was not more than twelve weeks old. She had no identifying marks of any sort. I didn’t know what to do. I thought about running an ad in the lost and found but l really didn’t want to. It would break the kids’ hearts if someone should show up. Besides, her owners should have watched her more closely, I thought.

By the end of the week she was part of our family. She was very clever and good with the girls. The Following week something told me to check the lost and found section in the local paper. One particular ad caught my attention and my heart sank at what I read. Someone was searching for a lost puppy near our grade school. They sounded desperate. My hand shook. I could not ask myself to pick up the phone.

Instead, I pretend I hadn’t seen the ad. I quickly put the paper aside and tried to ignore it. I never say anything about it to the kids or my husband.

By now we had named the puppy. She looked like a Molly, so we called her Molly. She followed the girls everywhere they went. When they went outside, she was one step behind them. When they did housework she was there to help.

There was only one problem with this perfect dog: my conscience (良心) was bothering me. I knew in my heart I had to call that number and see if our Molly was the puppy they were desperately looking for.
