21、AI, 5G and other digital technologies are not only changing our lives but shaping the economy as well. China5s six major commercial banks are stepping up digital wallet efforts to provide new trend for the e-CNY (电子人民币)trials in the country. The purpose, China’s bankers said, is not aimed at taking the place of privately-run payment platforms, such as Alipay and WeChat Pay. Instead, this official electronic payment system is being done so that all cash in circulation(流通)can be followed.

Compared with Alipay and WeChat payments, e-CNY features anonymity (匿名)and security. E-commerce platforms that accept payments via e-CNY will not have access to users5 personal information. E-CNY users can open an anonymous digital wallet by registering a mobile phone number, and their information won5t be revealed to any third-party institutions. E-CNY users’ privacy protection is at the highest level among all the existing payment tools.

Similar to Alipay and WeChat payments, using e-CNY requires an account. After getting the other party’s account number, users can enter the amount of digital money to be paid and then enter the password to complete the transaction (交易). However, the processes behind these transactions are different. For the existing electronic payments, the money has to go through a third party, and the receivers will get the money only when they withdraw it from banks. But e-CNY transactions only need a payer and a receiver. Therefore, it guarantees risk-free payments, helps prevent financial crimes and improves the efficiency of transactions.

In simple terms, e-CNY can be considered “money”, while electronic payments are like “wallets”. The successful launch of the e-CNY may change the existing market structure, which is mainly dominated by Alipay and WeChat Pay now. The banks may return to a leading position in the digital currency system. But China's central bank won't get more money into circulation, since every yuan issued digitally will basically cancel one yuan circulating in physical form.

【1】Why are commercial banks in China making efforts on e-CNY trials?

A．They aim to cut down the use of bank cards.

B．They intend to track the cash in circulation.

C．They want to get rid of paper currency.

D．They plan to replace privately-run payment platforms.

【2】What can users benefit when using e-CNY compared with the existing electronic payments?

A．People won't worry about their private information exposure.

B．People can finish the transaction without any account.

C．People can do the transaction at a very low fee.

D．People can withdraw money from banks free of charge.

【3】How does Paragraph 3 develop?

A．By listing facts.

B．By making comparison.

C．By giving examples.

D．By analyzing cause and effect.

【4】What can we infer from the last sentence of the passage?

A．The e-CNY will change the existing market structure.

B．The e-CNY will shake the position of real paper money.

C．The e-CNY in circulation will disturb the normal economy.

D．The e-CNY will not change the total amount of money in circulation.

22、Directions: Read the passage carefully. Fill in each blank with a proper sentence given in the box. Each sentence can be used only once. Note that there are two more sentences than you need.

How Colleges Can Measure Up in Teaching “Critical Thinking”

After becoming president of Purdue University in 2013, Mitch Daniels asked the teaching staff to prove that their students have actually achieved one of higher education’s most important goals: critical thinking skills. 【1】 Mr. Daniels needed to justify the high cost of attending Purdue to its students and their families. After all, the percentage of Americans who say a college degree is “very important” has fallen dramatically in the last 5-6 years.

Purdue now has a pilot test to assess students’ critical thinking skills. 【2】 However, they need not worry so much. The results of a recent experiment showed that professors could use standard grading scale to measure how well students did in three key areas: critical thinking, written communication and language literacy.

【3】 The organizers of the experiment concluded that far fewer students were achieving at high levels on critical thinking than they were doing for written communication or language literacy. And that conclusion is based only on students nearing graduation.

American universities, despite their global reputation for excellence in teaching, have only begun to demonstrate what they can produce in real-world learning. Knowledge-based degrees are still important, but employers are demanding advanced thinking skills from college graduates. 【4】

A. If the intellectual worth of a college degree can be accurately measured, more people will seek higher education―and come out better thinkers.

B. Two years before, a nationwide study of college graduates had shown that more than a third had made no significant gains in such mental abilities during their school years.

C. Despite the success of the experiment, the actual results are frustrating, and mostly confirm earlier studies.

D. Many can’t reason clearly or perform competently in analyzing complex, non-technical problems.

E. Yet like many college teachers in the U.S., the professors remain doubtful that their work as educators can be measured by a “learning outcome” such as a graduate’s ability to investigate and reason.

F. It is important to identify the common goals of general higher education and translate them into the design of the learning outcomes assessment.

24、To the delight of bookworms, anyone who has ever told you burying your head in a book means you’re being unsociable will have to cat their wards. A new study suggests those who regularly read，especially fiction，are actually nicer and more empathetic(善解人意)people.

The study, carried out by Kingston University London, and presented at the British Psychological Society conference in Brighton, UK, last week, also found that those who just watched television seemed to be less kind and understanding of other people.

For the study, the researchers questioned 123 people on their preferences for books.TV shows, and plays. They were also quizzed about the type of entertainment they preferred from comedy or romance to drama. Then they were tested on their interpersonal skills. The researchers asked them about their behavior towards others, whether they understood and respected others’ points of view, and whether they actively belted other people.

Drawing on these responses sheet, the researchers found some mind-boggling results. They discovered that those who read more showed greater positive social behavior and a better ability to empathize with others, while those who preferred watching TV didn’t show the same ability to empathize and were more likely to show unsociable behavior.

They also found the forms of fiction people preferred were linked to their interpersonal skills and behavior. Those who preferred fiction displayed the most positive social skills. Romance and drama lovers showed the ability to see others’ points of view, while comedy fans were particularly. Able to relate to others the most.

The researchers concluded that those who read fiction regularly are more well-adapted to see things from other people’s points of view, which makes them better at understanding people. However, they do acknowledge that their study didn’t conclude if the effects are causal-does reading make you nicer and more empathetic, or do more empathetic people tend to read fiction? Even so. picking up a book can’t hurt, and might just make the world a nicer place.

【1】How did the researchers conduct the research?

A．By making questionnaire surveys.

B．By comparing experiment statistics.

C．By observing participants’ behaviors.

D．By referring to previous study reports.

【2】What does the underlined word “mind-boggling” mean in paragraph 4?

A．Embarrassing.

B．Rewarding.

C．Amazing.

D．Disappointing.

【3】What can improve people’s empathetic abilities the most according to the study?

A．Reading fiction and comedy.

B．Enjoying romance and drama.

C．Taking part in social activities.

D．Watching plays on social media.

【4】What can be inferred from the last paragraph?

A．All people support the research result.

B．Further study is needed on this subject.

C．The nicer and kinder people like reading.

D．Reading can help people make more friends.

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。

On my first day in college, I was filled with worry and anxiety. I have heard that college is quite different from high school. Before school started, I became concerned about taking courses for credits, which would determine whether I could graduate on time. I also worried about getting along with my classmates and the rules and regulations of the school.

I was not used to changing from high school to college, which is why I was a little scared when I went into the building. I saw so many students that I did not know. I was surprised that we have class all day and there are around 150 students in one lecture class. I went to my first class really early so that I could get a seat close to the teacher to record the class and meet my classmates. Fortunately, there were some students that I knew from high school. Therefore, the class was not so scaring any more and everything seemed to be better than before.

Now is another thing. I did not realize that college students can wear whatever they want and it doesn’t matter with the uniform. But except for one, which is about your ID. You have to wear it when you are in college. If you don’t, you won’t be allowed to have the class, so it is totally different from high school. Related to this, the college contains only two sections for one morning, each lasting two hours. We have fifteen minutes for having the break time. That day, on my way to the next class, I tried to make new friends with the other students. After the morning class, I had lunch with my classmates. Most of my classmates are from the other provinces, which gives us a lot to talk about.

注意：1. 续写词数应为150左右;

2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。

After lunch, we went to the library to look for some documents.
