4.Li Mingyang only joined Alibaba's investment platform one month ago but he has already transferred(轉(zhuǎn)移)almost all the cash in his bank account-nearly Rmb200,000 ($32,000)-to the online fund.He is far from alone.More than 30million people in China have signed up to Yu'E Bao,or"Leftover Treasure",only six months since its launch.
Initially as the Chinese e-co mmerce group as a platform for its users to manage extra funds in their online payment accounts,Yu'E Bao is becoming something far more powerful:a straight-up substitute for traditional bank deposits (存款)."There's no point in keeping money in the bank any more.This is just as reliable,more flexible and you can earn a lot more from it,"Mr Li says.
A quick hit of the Yu'E Bao application on his phone shows the Shanghai-based editor has earned more interest on his account over the past  day than 94per cent of other local users."This is fun,almost like a computer game,"he says with a laugh.
For every Rmb12that companies and individuals have deposited in Chinese banks since June,they placed roughly Rmb1in their Yu'E Bao accounts,according to Financial Times calculations based on official data.While it remains tiny compared with total deposits in the Chinese banking system,this transfer of cash from banks to the Alibaba platform is only speeding up.In the process,it threatens to upend( 顛倒) the rules of China's state-protected financial department,break banks'profit model and shifting power to savers in a way that was scarcely imaginable at the start of this year.
Other Chinese tech companies are getting in on the act.Tencent,developer of the hugely popular messaging app WeChat,is said to be designing a fund platform similar to Yu'E Bao.Baidu,the search engine company,began marketing investment products in October.
"Internet companies,with their ability to instantly reach millions of consumers,have already started to change the competitive dynamic in finance,"says Ernan Cui,an analyst with GK Dragonomics,a Beijing-based research firm.

72.In the first paragraph,what does the underlined part‘He is far from alone'mean?D
A.li Mingyang lives far away from banks.
B.Few people have transferred their money to the online fund.
C.Not so many people have so much money.
D.Many people have done the same as Mr.Li.
73.If Rmb12,000is deposited in Chinese banks,then how much money will flow into Yu'E Bao accounts according to the passage?C
A.Rmb 10       
B.Rmb 100
C.Rmb 1,000    
D.Rmb 10,000
74.As Yu'E Bao has become so powerful as a platform for its users,what other Chinese e-commerce groups will do in the future?D
A.They think there's no point in keeping money in the bank any more.
B.They will transfer all their money to the online fund.
C.They will make their companies more state-protected.
D.They will also design online platforms and throw themselves into such dynamic finance.
75.What's the writer's attitude towards the e-commerce gr oup as a platform for its users to manage payment accounts?A
A.objective    
B.not so promising

1.Trade has a pretty bad name in some quarters.Trade robs poor people of a proper living,and keeps them trapped in poverty.There is a widely held popular view that trade is unfair.
Though many claim that a freer trade would change the current indecent reputation of world market,the cure-all free trade is the dream of most textbook economists.In fact,"Free trade"has been used successfully by powerful countries to land their mass-produced goods on fresh overseas dumping grounds and squeeze out local household businesses and craftsmanship.
At home the story is different.Large firms have little appetite for free trade and competition in their own backyard.They prefer to enjoy the advantages and protections for which they have carefully earned.Free thus fierce competition has little appeal for those who understand that they will make more profit if they can corner the market,whether at home or abroad.
By contrast,making trade fairer is about addressing both outcomes and processes of trade.Fairness is not just moral request.It affects behaviour.Actually the concept of fairness increases steadily as societies achieve greater market uprightness:Businessmen from upright societies are willing to punish those who do not play fair,even if this is costly to themselves.
Fairer trade rather than freer trade could partly mend mal-administering of resources in certain areas.Though thought of as evil economic policies in the west world,carefully planned special preferences and protectionism could be used intelligently to help to block the economic robbery of the rich class in African countries,and to improve the lives of the bottom billion.
Fairness is also important in the control of trade.The current International trade negotiations have resulted in rules favouring the powerful.The rules are made in negotiations in which the countries in control call the shots,and do not always do so in good faith.Industrialized countries were often found to have obtained definite and far-reaching commitments from developing countries,in exchange for vague promises,such as to liberalise agriculture,which they have not kept.On the other hand,the essence of the fair trade lies in the promise that every party benefit from the business,rich or poor,powerful or weak.
Making trade fairer is important to avoid a further public hate against trade.It is also important so as better to balance trade goals with other important national goals such as environmental and social protection.Finally,the so-called free trade system needs to be made fairer so that it does not block competition,and crush innovation and business spirit.It needs to offer a more level playing field to commercial newcomers and competitors in rich and poor countries alike.

74.Free trade is a concept at rich countries'service toA.
A.open up new markets abroad
B.define trade in the economic textbooks
C.dump pollutants in poor countries
D.learn the skills from local household businesses.
75.The key mechanism of fair trade isD.
A.punishing the rich countries when they cheat the poor countries
B.making sure that rich countries provide more chances for poor countries
C.promoting special preferences and protectionism in poor areas
D.guaranteeing the common interests of all the dealers
76.The underlined word"mal-administering"in the passage is closest in meaning toC.
A.macro-management
B.overall collection
C.uneven distribution
D.negative mining
77.Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage?B
A.Large firms earn huge profits from free trade on domestic markets.
B.Honest dealers would sacrifice their own interest to discipline the dishonest.
C.Special preferences and protectionism are occasionally adopted in western countries.

A.Train conflict-management
B.Teach mutual respect
C.Guide children by personal examples
D.Recognize the existence of sibling conflict
E.Show appreciation for who your child is
F.Do not play favorites
76.Sibling conflict is as old as Cain and Abel,as legendary as Cinderella and her stepsisters and can be as deadly as the daughters of King Lear.Parents should know the battles are inevitable and must prepare their kids to defuse potentially ugly situations.And there will be times when parents must come to a child's defense and say,"We are family,and we will not say anything that doesn't build up one another.We will respect each other."Use following tips for encouraging kindness in the home:D
77.Do not allow your children to insult one another.Words are extremely powerful,and snide comments can damage deeply.Experts say every negative comment needs at least five positive remarks to even out.Teach your children to be kind and to appreciate each other.Encourage your  kids to see each other's talents.Through recognizing these unique strengths,they will be able to work together well.B
78.Sibling rivalry usually originates from a child feeling that the other sibling is loved more,and in some cases when parents are being substantively unfair or show favoritism toward one child,this indeed may be the problem.In Genesis,we see the damage done by Jacob's favoritism of Joseph.Remember that all children are created equal,but not all children are the same.Recognize and praise each child's individual skills,strengths and accomplishments without implying that one child is somehow better.Be sure each child receives adequate parental interest and quality time.F
79.Do not deny your child's feelings,but help him learn to express emotions in an appropriate way.If you see your child acting jealously,encourage him to identify the emotion by saying,"I understand that you feel bad because…"or"I know you hurt because…"Helping your children figure out the causes of their actions will help them learn how to deal with problems in the future.A
80.Most parents realize children imitate what they see,so look at the example you set.Do you compete with your siblings?Or do you consistently show kindness to your brothers and sisters?By checking your actions,you can be better prepared to show your children how to emerge the best of friends following the inevitability of a little sibling conflict.C.

5.London will stage its biggest political funeral in almost half a century on Wednesday when Britain's governing elite join the Queen and global leaders to bid farewell to former Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher,better known as the"Iron Lady".
In an event comparable to that of Winston Churchill's funeral in 1965,Thatcher's coffin will be carried on a horse-drawn gun carriage through streets lined with admirers from parliament to the city's most famous cathedral.
The bells of London's symbolic Big Ben clock tower will fall silent for the first time since Churchill's funeral and more than 700 men and women from Britain's armed forces will honor a woman who led them to victory in the 1982 Falklands War as foreign politicians from around 170 nations look on.
Surveys have shown that many are unhappy that the estimated l0-million($15 million) pound bill for the funeral is being picked up by the taxpayer,while some left-wing lawmakers say the luxurious funeral is too expensive.
But her admirers,of whom there are many in her party and in southern England,argue that her historical profile deserves such a funeral.She was the country's first and only woman premier,was Britain's longest-serving prime minister of the 20th century,and won three general elections.
More than 2,300 mourners will attend including 11 serving prime ministers from around the world,the British government's entire cabinet,two heads of state and 17 foreign ministers.
But there will be notable absences.Former Soviet leader Mikhail Gorbachev is too ill to attend and Nancy Reagan,the widow of Thatcher's great U.S.a(chǎn)lly Ronald Reagan,is also unable to come.
Thatcher struck up a close relationship with Reagan during the Cold War,backed the first President George Bush during the 1991 Gulf War,and was among the first to discover that Gorbachev was a man she could"do business with".
Covered in the red,white and blue British flag,Thatcher's coffin lay overnight in a 13th-century church in Britain's parliament,a forum she dominated for years.

2.Plastic is one of the most important technological discoveries of the 20th century.However,it may soon be replaced.The new development-liquid wood-can replace plastics in all branches of modern-day industries.
Plastic as a material enjoys the biggest demand in the modern world,but it does have a number of drawbacks.First and foremost,plastic isn't recyclable.Secondly,it contains toxins (毒物) helping develop cancerous diseases.Finally,it's made of oil and oil reserves aren't endless.
The liquid wood technology is likely to replace plastic and providing mankind with new materials for many years ahead.Norbert Eisenfreich,a senior researcher at the Faunhofer Institute for Chemical Technology in Germany (ICT),said that arboform,the new material,is made of lignin(木素質(zhì)),which can be obtained from soft tissues of wood.Once mixed with several other matenals,it turns into solid and non-toxic  alternative  for plastics.
ICT team leader Emilia Regina Inone-Kauffmann said the wood-working industry separates wood into three basic components,including lignin.Lignin isn't used for the production of paper.Specialists of ICT mixed lignin with several natural materials and thus invented the material which could be melted and molded (鑄型).
When solid,arboform looks like plastic and possesses tho qualitie of polished wood.It can be used for the production of any items.Arboform is already used for the production of car parts which require extra strength.In addition,liquid wood can be recycled repeatedly.The material preserved all of its qualities even if it's reprocessed ten times.
However,the new invention doesn't enjoy an extensive use due to the high content of sulfur(硫) in it.German researchers are sure to reduce the amount of sulfur by 90% very soon to make arboform usable for home needs.

71.According to the passage,plasticC.
A.helps us to reduce the use of petrol
B.helps to protect our environment in some way
C.does harm to our society in some way
D.has been replaced by the newly discovered material
72.What's the advantage of arboform over plastic?C
A.It is easier made from natural oil.
B.It is more widely used in household
C.It is recyclable and friendly to environment.
D.It contains no poisonous materials.
73.The underlined word"altemative"in Paragraph 3meansD.
A.lignin or arboform
B.soft tissues of wood
C.plastics or wood
D.mixture of several materials
74.It can be concluded that German researchers will focus their future work firstly onB.
A.the material's extensive use
B.the content of sulfur in arboform
C.the production cost of arboform
D.the qualities of liquid wood
75.The main purpose of the text is toA.
A.introduce liquid wood which will replace plastic
B.show readers how to produce arboform
C.a(chǎn)dvertise the new material-arboform
D.a(chǎn)dvertise new products made of arboform.

3.Some people worry about being the target of laughter.These people are frightened.They suffer from an emotional disorder called gelotophobia.That long name comes from the Greek language.The word Gelos means laugh,while phobos means fear.
Victor Rubio is an expert on human behavior at the Autonomous University of Madrid.He says people laugh at others for many different reasons.He says being laughed at causes a fear response in the victim.That fear leads the victim to avoid social situations.Sadly,gelotophobia limits the way they lead their lives.
Victor Rubio was among researchers in a huge international study about laughter.The researchers wanted to understand the difference between normal shyness and true gelotophobia.Another goal was to measure the fear of being laughed at within different cultures.
A team from the University of Zurich led ninety-three researchers from many countries in search of answers
The researchers surveyed more than twenty-two thousand people.They used questions provided in forty-two languages.Their findings were reported in the scientific publication Humor.
Some of the people questioned said they felt unsure of themselves in social situations.But they hid their feelings.Others said they avoided social situations where they had been laughed at before.People also admitted to differing levels of fear that they themselves were the targets of other people's laughter.The researchers measured and compared all these reactions.
Fear of being laughed at,being made fun of,is a common emotion.But the researchers learned that these feelings differed from nation to nation.
For example,the study found that people in Turkmenistan and Cambodia are likely to hide insecure (不安) feelings when they are around others'laughter.But people in Iraq,Egypt and Jordan who feel they have been victims before may avoid such situations
People in Finland were the least likely to believe that people laughing in their presence were making fun of them.Only eight and a half percent of Finns said they would-compared to eighty percent of those questioned in Thailand.

64.The passage is mainly aboutD
A.a(chǎn) common emotion   B.laughter
C.shyness            D.gelotophobia
65.In which country are people most likely to avoid social situations where they have been laughed at before?B
A.Turkmenistan      B.Iraq 
C.Finland           D.Thailand
66.According to the text the following is true EXCEPT thatA
A.people suffer from gelotophobia because they are shy
B.not all the people questioned hid their feelings in social situations
C.perhaps Humor is a magazine
D.people in Finland are the least likely to suffer from gelotophobia
67.A person who suffers from gelotophobia will probablyD
A.be active in social activities
B.be easily laughed at
C.like to laugh at others
D.like to stay alone.
