B You may think, salt is just a simple cooking element we shake on our food for a little extra taste. But salt is much more than that. Without saltour muscles would not move. Our nervous systems would not operate. Our hearts would not beat. But do not think rubbing salt into a wound will help. Doing that would be painful and not heal the wound.“To rub salt into a wound” is an idiom thatmeans to purposefully make a bad situation worse.Early humans got the salt they needed to stay alive from the animals they killed. But advances in agriculture led to a diet low in salt. So, humans neededto find other sources. Those who lived near the ocean or other natural sources for salt were lucky. Those who did not had to trade for salt. In fact, people used salt as a method of payment in many parts of the ancient world. The word “salary” es from the word “salt”. Salt also played an important part in population movement and world exploration. Explorers understood that if they could keep food fresh, they could travel longer distances. So they used salt to preserve food and explore the world. Salt was so important that, according to food historians, it was traded pound-for-pound forgold.Today,people still use the expressions “worth ones salt” or “worth ones weight in salt”. The expressions describe a person of value. A person might also be called “salt of the earth”. That description means he or she is dependable and trustworthy. However, when you say “I think we should take what he said with a grain of salt”you mean you accept it but maintain a degree of doubt about its truth.24. What can we learn from the first paragraph?A. Salt plays an important part in our life.B. Salt makes food tasty.C. Salt is considered to be part of our muscles.D. Salt is sure to damage nervous systems.25. A beggars bread was stolen last night, which means_.A. salt of theearthB. rubbing salt in a woundC. a diet low in saltD. worth his salt26. If you describe a person as agreat help, you mean_.A. he rubs salt in a woundB. he is often taken as a grain of saltC. he often uses saltto preservemeatD. he is worth his weight in salt27. Which of the following is the best title for the passage?A. Salt Is More Than a Four-letter Word.B. Salt Is a Basic Element in Cooking.C. Salt Is a Word with a Long History.D. Salt Is Popular with Different People.C Alibaba opened Chinas version of Amazons cashier-less store, “Tao Cafe” at its second annual Taobao Maker Festival taking place from 812 July, and then showed it to the public. By scanning a QR code（二维码）on Taobao app at the entrance of the store, consumers are tracked with cameras for facial recognition. After going through the checkout doors, customers will automatically make a purchase through their smartphones without needing to head to a register and be able to leave the store with what they buy in hand. The pany, putting its efforts in Artificial Intelligence and data technologies, caused some ripples（波动）among offline retailers （零售商）. But if you think the e-merce giant plans to get a slice of the physical-store pie, then you might get it wrong: “Its not about Alibaba wanting to open more cafes, we are not in the restaurant business. its about digitalizing the footprints of the visitors to an offline store, ” said Chris Tung, chief marketing officer of Alibaba Group. He said, for example, in the online world, Alibaba can always personalize every web page based on users interest and preference thanks to big data, “When you open our app, every moment is different.” But on the other hand, “offline is being not so exciting anymore”, because many physical stores are always found to be very similar with no variation. Tung said offline retailers could improve by adopting online data petence to link the identity of the customers and optimize（优化）their in-store shopping experience. So in this sense, after physical stores have an understanding of what their customers need online, then they can allocate the products in the physical offline store accordingly. He further explained the pop-up Tao Cafe is one of the ways to present this “new retail” idea and opens up peoples thinking and calls for more partnership.28. What is the first paragraph mainly about?A. The buying process in Tao Cafe.B. The payment method of Tao Cafe.C. The meaning of the Taobao Maker Festival.D. The advantage of the Taobao Maker Festival.29.

They arrange their products in a random way.31. What is the main idea of the passage?A. Cashier-less payment petes with physical stores.B. The application has bee an instant hit.C. Alibaba celebrates Taobao Maker Festival.D. Tao Cafe is to revolutionize the offline retail. D Have you ever run into a careless cell phone user on the street? Perhaps they were busy talking, texting or checking updates on WeChat without looking at what was going on around them. As the number of this new “species” of human has kept rising, they have been given a new name phubbers（低头族）. Recently, a cartoon created by students from China Central Academy of Fine Arts put this group of people under the spotlight. In the short film, phubbers with various social identities bury themselves in their phones. A doctor plays with his cell phone while letting his patient die, a pretty woman takes selfie（自拍照）in front of a car accident site, and a father loses his child without knowing about it while using his mobile phone. A chain of similar events eventually leads to the destruction of the world. Although the ending sounds overstated, the damage phubbing can bring is real. Your health is the first to bear the effect and result of it. “Constantly bending your head to check your cell phone could damage your neck,” Guangming Daily quoted doctors as saying. “the neck is like a rope that breaks after long-term stretching.” Also, staring at cell phones for long periods of time will damage your eyesight gradually, according to the report. But thats not all. Being a phubber could also damage your social skills and drive you away from your friends and family. At reunions with family or friends, many people tend to stick to their cell phones while others are chatting happily with each other and this creates a strange atmosphere, Qilu Evening News reported. It can also cost you your life. There have been lots of reports on phubbers who fell to their death, suffered accidents, and were robbed of their cell phones in broad daylight.32. For what purpose does the author give the example of a cartoon in Paragragh2?A. To inform people of the bad effects of phubbing.B. To advertise the cartoon made by students.C. To indicate the world will finally be destroyed by phubbers.D. To warn doctors against using cell phones while treating patients.33. Which of the following is NOT a risk a phubber may have?A. His social skills could be affected.B. His neck and eyesight will be gradually harmed.C. He will cause the destruction of the world.D. He might get separated from his friends and family.34. Which of the following may be the authors attitude towards phubbing?A. Supportive. B. Opposed. C. Optimistic. D. Objective.35. What may the passage talk about next?A. Advice on how to use a cell phone.B. People who are addicted to phubbing.C. The possible consequences of phubbing.D. Measures to reduce the risks of phubbing.第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。As you grow rapidly through your teenage years, you will experience a lot of changes.
