9．Alibaba started taking the lead in China，simply enough，by connecting big Chinese manufacturers（制造商）with big buyers across the world．Its business-to-business site，Alibaba．com allowed business to buy almost everything．Alibaba's advantage wasn't hard to identify：size．Alibaba is just big，even by Chinese standards．Its marketplaces attract 231million active buyers，8million sellers，11.3billion orders a year-and Alibaba is just the middleman． It encourages people to use its markets-not charging small sellers a percentage of the sale．
If you want a quick look into the influence of Alibaba on daily Chinese life，take my experience．I moved to Beijing almost a year ago and quickly got tired of visiting small stores across the crowded，polluted city of 20million people in search of new electronics，bathroom furnishings，and anything else my wife wanted．"You're looking for what exactly？Why not try it？"my Chinese teacher asked me one day．With that，my wonderful new relationship with Alibaba began．
Alibaba's original business-to-business model now is secondary to consumer buying．Chinese retail（零售）buying makes up 80% of Alibaba's profit，and leading that group is Taobao，with 800million items for sale and the most unbelievable selection of things you'll ever find．TMall．com is Alibaba's other big site，where you can find brand name goods from Nike and Unilever near the lowest prices．
What I have a hard time explaining to friends and family back in the U．S．is how China has gone beyond traditional shopping-big-box retailers especially-in favor of online purchases on Taobao and a few other sites．In smaller towns than Beijing，where big retailers have not yet traveled，shopping online is shopping，and shopping is Taobao．
I have a list of some of my recent purchases on Taobao for a sense of how extensive the marketplace is．Almost everything arrived a day or two after ordering with free shipping．I'm not even a big buyer，because I need friends to help me search the Chinese-language site．When I was searching my purchase history on my Chinese teacher's iPad，which helps me buy goods，I looked through with great difficulty about 10of her purchases for every one of mine．

51．Alibaba's advantage mainly lies inA．
A．its big size
B．its business-to-business service
C．its not charging small sellers
D．its low price
52．What can we learn from the underlined sentence in the passage？D
A．Alibaba is of middle size among all the online sites
B．Alibaba will continue to develop．
C．Alibaba stands out as the best online site．
D．Alibaba acts as a bridge between the buyers and sellers．
53．What does the underlined word"it"in Paragraph 2refer to？B
A．a(chǎn) new store
B．Alibaba
C．a(chǎn) business
D．a(chǎn) foreign website
54．What can be inferred from the passage？A
A．The author's Chinese teacher is also an online purchase lover．
B．Taobao has no obvious advantage over other similar online sites．
C．Alibaba's business-to-business service earns more money than retail now．
D．TMall．com provides more profit than Taobao．
55．What is the passage mainly about？C
A．Shopping online is TaoBao．
B．The influence of shopping online goes beyond traditional shopping．
C．Alibaba greatly influences people's daily purchase in China．

6．AN ESTIMATED 2.5BILLION adults do not have access to banks．Unsurprisingly，they are among the world's most  destitute：According to a report released by the World Bank and other development groups，about three out of four adults living on less than $2a day，from farmers in Tanzania to slum-dwellers（貧民） in India to seamstresses（女裁縫） in Bolivia，lack an account with a formal financial institution（機(jī)構(gòu)）．
But many of these people do have cell phones．Globally，there are some 7billion mobile-phone subscriptions（訂購(gòu)），up from about 2billion in 2005．Beyond simply helping people stay in touch，the devices are being used to report fair-market prices for crops，document wartime atrocities（暴行），and even track the spread of disease．The technology is also reinventing a key tool for economic growth：banking．In countries across the world，mobile operators-think the equivalents（對(duì)應(yīng)物） of Sprint and Verizon-now offer services that enable individuals to transfer cash via text message．In 2014，according to the international mobile-carrier trade group GSMA，there were 255mobile-enabled electronic money services working in 89countries，and nearly 300million mobile-money accounts．The trend is particularly significant in Africa，where in at least 15countries mobile-money accounts now outnumber formal bank accounts．With even the most basic cell phones，users can pay taxes and taxis，send money to far-away families，and even receive salaries and government subsidies（補(bǔ)貼）．
To be sure，it's still the early days for this booming industry．Developing economies remain dominated by cash．But mobile money has in many ways already started to reshape the very architecture of financial services for the better．
24．What does the underlined word mean？B
A．rich        
B．poor       
C．happy      
D．upset
25．What is paragraph 2mainly about？A
A．The banking service by mobile phones is becoming popular．
B．The challenges of mobile phones．
C．The running of mobile companies．
D．The banking service
26．In which area does the mobile phone service reinvent a key tool for economic growth？D
A．Keeping in touch   
B．reporting prices   
C．tracking the spread of disease     
D．banking
27．What can we infer from the article？A
A．Mobile financial service is playing a more and more important role in the world．
B．Mobile financial service has taken the place of cash in most of the developing economies．
C.2.5billion people don't have access to banks．
D．Tracking the spread of disease by mobile phones is impossible now．

7．Once I complained to my husband that he wasn't helping enough with our daughter，and I gave him a long list of the parenting chores （家庭雜務(wù)） I was shouldering on my own．"But you like doing all that stuff，"he said．I thought about that while reading a new study about the responsibilities of parenting．Researchers asked 191 college professors，both men and women，who had children 2 or younger，the pleasure they experienced from childcare．

 On 16 out of 25 childcare tasks-like taking a child to the doctor or buying clothes for a child-women reported statistically higher levels of enjoyment than men．The only parenting issue that gave women less pleasure than it gave men was having to manage who does what for the child．On the whole，women's scores were 10 percent higher than men's．
    Women are also far more likely to take advantage of family-leave benefits to care for children．In the study，all the universities offered paid family leave，and 69 percent of the women took it，while only 12 percent of the men did．In Sweden，where family leave for both parents is particularly generous，men use about 20 percent of the 480-day benefit．Women use nearly all of it．
    It's difficult to know how cultural and economic pressures or biological functions influence parenting．Plenty of men change diapers （尿布），and studies show that mothers and fathers alike spend more time with children than they used to．Men have more than doubled the time they spend on childcare since 1985．Yet women still spend twice as much time with the kids as men，says the University of Maryland sociologist John Robinson．
 Notably in the study，the parenting activity that gave men the most pleasure （and women，too） was playing and talking with their kids．But when men were asked to rate how often they actually did those things，their scores were about 10 and 40 percent lower than women's．In the end，perhaps the issue is not that mothers are doing too many childcare tasks-my husband was right when he said I liked being a mother-but that men，for all their progress as fathers，are still missing out．

42．The author mentioned the disagreement with her husband toC．
A．complain about his husband's irresponsibility
B．show the difference between men and women
C．bring up the topic of responsibility of parenting
D．describe the unpleasant experience of childcare
43．What can we learn from the passage？D
A．More men take family leave to care for children than before．
B．Women gain more pleasure in every childcare task than men．
C．Men play and talk with their children more than women．
D．Women spend more time with children than before．
44．What is the main idea of the passage？A
A．Fathers should take more responsibility in childcare．
B．Mothers gain more pleasure from childcare than men．
C．Fathers are playing a more important part in childcare．
D．Mothers should give fathers more chances to look after children．
45．What is the author's attitude towards men's performance on childcare？B

4．The uninvolved dad，turning up his nose at diapering（換尿布） and too busy to bathe，dress and play with his kids，is mostly a myth（神話），a big government survey suggests．Most American fathers say they are heavily involved in hands-on parenting，the researchers found．
The results are encouraging and important"because others have found the more involved dads  are，the better the outcomes for their children．"said researcher Jo Jones of the National Center for  Health Statistics，part of the Centers for Disease Control Prevention．She co-authored the report  released Friday．

*Almost 2 0ut of 3helped with homework several times weekly．
*About half took their kids to or from activities that often．
Dr．David Hill，a Wilmington，N．C．pediatrician （兒科醫(yī)生） said the survey reflects what he's seen among his patients'fathers．Increasingly，fathers rather than mothers take their kids to the doctor．Some"are anxious about changing a diaper，"he said．
Census（調(diào)查） numbers show that there were almost 190，000stay-at-home dads nationwide last year versus 93，000in 2010．Loftus，the New York stay-at-home dad，said，"I feel fortunate to be able to be such a hands-on father．I'm doing the most significant occupation in the world．"

2．It's time to do something for your father-the man who for many people has been an encouragement and support since birth．The third Sunday of June is Father's Day．The holiday honors not only fathers，but also all men who act as father figures，such as stepfathers，uncles and grandfathers．
The idea of Father's Day came from the love and appreciation of American lady called Sonore Smart Dodd in 1909．Dodd wanted a special day to honor her father，William Smart．Heraised six children by himself on a countryside farm in Washington State after his wife died during the birth of their sixth child．When Dodd became an adult，she realized the selflessness her father has shown in raising his children as a single parent．It was her father who did all for his children．In the eyes of his daughter，William Smart was a courageous，selfless and loving man．Dodd's father was born in June，so she chose to hold the first Father's Day celebration in Washington on June 19th，1910．
In 1924，US President Calvin Coolidge supported the idea of a national Father's Day．Finally，in 1966，President Lyndon Johnson declared the third Sunday of June as Father's day．
So this is a perfect chance to let your father know what he means to you．To show your love and respect，you need not buy an expensive gift．You can send him a home-made card； You can call him every day； Even you can give him a sweet smile when he comes back from work．All these little things are easy for us to do，but they can show your care and love to your father．
