Given retails gradual change to mobile and e-commerce (电子商务), you may be wondering, “What will retail look like in the future?” Nobody knows. But here are a few things you can expect to see based on current technology. Ultrafast delivery is coming. Today, the normal practice is two-day delivery.

What will retail be like in the future? D. What benefits will high-tech bring in the future?CScientists have discovered a new material that can hold the key to unlocking the potential of hydrogen-powered vehicles. As the world looks towards a gradual move away from fossil-fuel-powered cars and trucks, greener alternative technologies are being explored, such as electric-battery-powered vehicles. Another “green” technology with great potential is hydrogen power. However, the major obstacles have been the size, complexity, and expense of the fuel systemsuntil now. An international team of researchers, led by Professor David Antonelli of Lancaster University, has discovered a new material that offers a solution. The new material would be used to make molecular sieves within fuel tankswhich can store the hydrogen and work alongside fuel cells in a hydrogen-powered “system”. It makes the design of tanks far smaller, cheaper, more convenient and energy-denser than existing hydrogen fuel technologies, and significantly outperform battery-powered vehicles. The cost of manufacturing this new material is so low, and the energy density it can store is so much higher, that the hydrogen fuel cell systems cost five times less than ordinary batteries as well as providing a much longer rangepotentially enabling journeys up to around four or five times longer between fill-ups. The new material makes the cooling system unnecessary. This is crucial because it means cooling equipment does not need to be used in vehicles, resulting in systems with the potential to be far more efficient than existing designs. Although vehicles, including cars and heavy goods vehicles, are the most obvious application, this material can also be used in portable devices such as drones or within mobile chargers so people could go on week-long camping trips without having to recharge their devices. It could also be used to run a house or a remote neighborhood off a fuel cell. 28. What can we infer from paragraph 2? A. Fossil fuel will soon run out. B. It is impossible to conserve fossil fuel. C. Electric cars will replace gasoline cars. D. It is not economic to use hydrogen power now. 29. Which of the following best explains the underlined word “outperform” in paragraph 3? A. Lose control of. B. Take the place of. C. Break away from. D. Perform better than. 30. What do we know about the new material? A. Its too complex to make. B. It simplifies the cooling system. C. Its cheaper and more efficient. D. It can be used only for vehicles. 31. In which section of the Internet can you probably find this text? A. Style. B. Science. C. Life. D. Biology. 第二节 （共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分）阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。Communication Skills for Workplace SuccessThe ability to communicate effectively with superiors, colleagues, and staff is essential. 32.

It was getting dark and light snow was coming down, so he almost didnt see the old lady standing on the side of the road. It was clear that she needed help. He pulled up in front of her obviously brand new and expensive car and got out. While nobody had stopped to help for the last hour and there was a smile on his face, she was worried when he approached her. He didnt look safe. He looked poor and hungry.He could see she was frightened, standing out there in the cold. He said, “Im here to help you, maam. Why dont you wait in your car to keep warm? My names Bryan.”A tire was flat. Bryan fetched tools from his own car to change the tire. But he had to get dirty and his hands hurt. As he was tightening her cars nuts, she rolled down the window, said thanks and asked him how much she owed him. Any amount would have been all right with her. She had already imagined all the awful things that could have happened without his help.Bryan never thought twice about the money. He told her that if she really wanted to pay him back, the next time she saw someone who needed help, she could give that person the assistance they needed. He waited until she started her car and drove off. It had been a cold and depressing day, but he felt good as he headed for home. Soon the lady saw a small restaurant.
