21、One hundred and thirteen million Americans have at least one bank-issued credit card. They give their owners automatic credit in stores, restaurants, and hotels, at home, across the country, and they make many banking services available as well. More and more of these credit cards can be read automatically, making it possible to withdraw or deposit money in scattered locations, whether or not the local branch bank is open. For many of us the “cashless society” is not on the horizon---it’s already here.
While computer offer these conveniences to consumers, they have many advantages for sellers too. Electronic cash registers can do much more than simply ring up sales. They can keep a wide range of records, including who sold what, when and to whom. This information allows businessmen to keep track of their list of goods by showing which items are being sold and how far they are moving. Decisions to reorder or return goods to suppliers can then be made. At the same time these computers record which hours are busiest and which employees are the most efficient, allowing personnel and staffing assignments to be made accordingly. And they also identify preferred customer for promotional campaigns. Computers are relied on by manufacturers for similar reasons. Computer analyzed marketing reports can help to decide which products to emphasize now, which to develop for the future and which to drop. Computers keep track of goods in stock, of raw materials on hand, and even of the production process itself.
Numerous other commercial enterprises, from theaters to magazine publishers, from gas and electric utilities to milk processors, bring better and more efficient services to consumers through the use of computers.
【1】 From the last sentence of the first paragraph we learn that ___________.

C. They will assign more work for the employees to do.
D. They will allow the personnel to do whatever work they want to do.
【3】 What does the underlined phrase “ring up sales” in paragraph two mean?
A. make an order of goods.

22、I once had my Chinese MBA students brainstorming on “two-hour business plans.” I separated them into six groups and gave them an example: a restaurant chain. The more original their ideas, the better, I said. Finally, five of the six groups presented plans for restaurant chains. The sixth proposed a catering service. Though I admitted the time limit had been difficult, I expressed my disappointment.
My students were middle managers, financial analysts and financiers from state-owned enterprises and global companies. They were without talent or opinions, but they had been shaped by an educational system that rarely stressed or rewarded critical thinking or inventiveness. The scene I just described came in different forms during my two years teaching at the school. Papers were often copied from the Web and the Harvard Business Review. Case study debates were written up and just memorized. Students frequently said that copying is a superior business strategy, better than inventing and creating.
In China, every product you can imagine has been made and sold. But so few well-developed marketing and management minds have been raised that it will be a long time before most people in the world can name a Chinese brand.
With this problem in mind, partnerships with institutions like Yale and MIT have been established. And then there's the “thousand talent scheme.” this new government program is intended to improve technological modernization by attracting top foreign-trained scientists to the mainland with big money. But there are worries about China's research environment. It's hardly known for producing independent thinking and openness, and even big salary offers may not be attractive enough to overcome this.
At last, for China, becoming a major world creator is not just about setting up partnership with top western universities. Nor is it about gathering a group of well-educated people and telling them to think creatively. It's about establishing a rich learning environment for young minds. It's not that simple.
【1】Why does the writer feel disappointed at his students?
A．Because there is one group presenting a catering service.
B．Because the six groups did not cooperate well in the brainstorm.
C．Because all the students copied a case for the difficult topic.
D．Because the students' ideas were lacking in creativeness.
【2】Which of the following scenes is NOT considered as lack of creation?
A．Papers were often downloaded from the Internet.
B．Students often said that copying is a preferable business strategy.
C．Students combine knowledge and critical thoughts to solve a problem.
D．Case study debates were written up as well as recited.
【3】We can infer form the passage that ________.
A．China can make and sell any product all over the world from its own creation.
B．high pay may not solve the problem of China's research environment.
C．cooperation with institutions has been set up to make a Chinese brand.
D．the new government program is aimed at encouraging imagination.
【4】Which is the best title for the passage?
A．Look for a new way of learning
B．Reward creative thinking
C．How to become a creator
D．Establish a technical environment
23、In a new study published on the Journal of Avian Biology, researchers at the National Autonomous University of Mexico tracked the behavior of house finches (雀) on the main campus of the university, in Mexico City.
The team created an artificial nest lining (内衬), which includes feathers, cotton, hair and cigarette ends. Then, after the birds' eggs had hatched, they replaced the original lining with the new one, to make sure the nests were pest free. The researchers then added live ticks to the mix, while dead ticks were added to other linings.
It seems that urban house finches use more cigarette ends to line their nests when they've been invaded by ticks. And, those whose nests were given live ticks increased their cigarette end weight by about 40 percent more than those where dead ticks had been used, according to New Scientist. The technique is likely a form of self-medication, the experts explain, as it's thought that the chemicals in cigarette ends can help to keep off the pests.
While this behavior may have its benefits, the researchers say it's also possible that the use of cigarette ends in the nests could have negative effects. "It is a matter of concern that cigarette ends, being poisonous, are part of house finch nests in Mexico City," the authors explain in the paper," but we have not come across evidence of long-term costs of using this material."
According to the researchers, a thorough evaluation will be necessary to determine the real effects of using cigarette ends, whether they are positive or not. But they explain, the findings do suggest that the cigarette ends are linked to the presence of ticks and likely play a role in keeping them away.
【1】What does the underlined phrase "the mix" in paragraph 2 refer to?
A．The former nests.
B．The artificial lining.
C．The cigarette ends.
D．The original lining.
【2】What did house finches do when live ticks were found in their nests?
A．Eat them out.
B．Dust them off.
C．Build firmer nests.
D．Use more cigarette ends.
【3】What is paragraph 3 mainly about?
A．The findings of the experiment.
B．The application of the research findings.
C．The theory related to the recent research.
D．The reasons for house finches using cigarette ends.
【4】Which word best describes the author's attitude to the study?
A．Skeptical.
B．Conservative.
C．Objective.
D．Tolerant.
24、On early Sunday morning, a walrus, named Freya, was put to death by the Norwegian government after the public failed to follow recommendations to keep a safe distance away from the huge sea animal.
“We have sympathies for the fact that the decision can cause reactions with the public, but this decision was based on careful assessments,” said Nadia Jdaini, a spokesperson for the Norwegian government. “Human life and safety must be our priority.”
The young female walrus had been spending time at the Oslo seaport this summer and had attracted global attention. The walrus was seemingly unafraid of humans, unlike most walruses. Several popular videos showed that it had even climbed onto small boats to sunbathe.
In the past week, the authorities warned the public to stay away from Freya, saying that they had observed visitors swimming with it, throwing objects at it, and getting dangerously close to it to take photos.
Previously, the government said that it was considering multiple solutions, including transporting Freya out of the seaport. But the complexity of such an operation made it conclude that this was not a practical option.
Usually, walruses just stay on the outer edges of Norway’s coast. The last time a walrus was documented so close to the seaport was 2013. “Normally, walruses will show up on some islands, but they will leave quite soon, because they’re afraid of people,” added Nadia Jdaini. “But Freya was not afraid of people. Actually, it liked people.”
In a Facebook post after Freya’s death was announced, Rune Aae, who teaches biology at the University of South-Eastern Norway, condemned the government’s decision. “All previous experience has shown that Freya would have sooner or later gotten out of the seaport,” he wrote. “What a shame to make the decision in such a hurry.”
【1】Which of the following directly led to the death of Freya?
A．Freya often tried to attack the boaters.
B．The public ignored the official warning.
C．Freya enjoyed sunbathing on small boats.
D．The walrus kept begging food from visitors.
【2】What is the fifth paragraph mainly about?
A．Walruses’ living habits.
B．The public’s angry reactions.
C．The walrus’ dangerous behavior.
D．Failed efforts to save the walrus.
【3】What can we know about walruses?
A．They are small in size.
B．They live near seaports.
C．They are shy animals.
D．They are friendly to humans.
【4】What did Rune Aae think of the government’s action?
A．It was unnecessary.
B．It was practical.
C．It was understandable.
D．It was very humane.
