I have watched you wear a long face over the years when I give them to you. But understand that sometimes I want to tell you something and I want to get it just right. Putting it down on paper helps me do that. I wish I had been a better writer. I wish I had gone to college. If I had, I think I would have studied English and maybe my vocabulary would have improved. So many times I feel I am using the same words over and over. Like a woman wearing the same dress every day. So boring!What I want to say to you, Charley, is you are marrying a wonderful girl. I think of Catherine in many ways like I think of Roberta. Like a daughter. She is sweet and patient. You should be the same with her, Charley. Here is what you are going to find out about marriage: you have to work at it together. And you have to love three things. You have to love1) Each other.2) Your children (when you have some).3) Your marriage.What I mean by that last one is, there may be times that you fight, and sometimes you and Catherine wont even like each other. But those are the times you have to love your marriage. Its like a third party. Look at your wedding photos. Look at any memories youve made. And if you believe in those memories, they will pull you back together. Im very proud of you today, Charley. I am putting this in your tuxedo pocket because I know how you lose things. I love you every day!Mom 24. Why did the mother write the letter to Charlie? A. To congratulate her son. B. To give him some advice. C. To show her pity.D. To talk things through.25.

The rapid development of third-party mobile payment tools is helping to boost cashless payments across the country, said Dong Ximiao, a researcher at the Renmin University of China. Transactions (交易) involving third-party mobile payments rose by 46.8 percent in the first quarter of 2017 compared with the previous quarter to 18.8 trillion yuan, according to a report released in May.Although there were 3.4 billion third-party payment accounts in total in China in 2016, China is not the first country to seek a cashless society. Developed states like Sweden, Denmark and Singapore are also witnessing that increase.However, the rapid development of cashless payments does not mean there are no challenges and criticisms. Alibabas Hema store, where customers can shop, dine and order commodities for delivery from their mobile phones via Alipay, has come into the spotlight recently. Media reports said that consumers cant purchase goods with cash there, which would be considered illegal.Alipay and WeChat Pay, the nations two major third-party mobile payment tools, also launched campaigns this month to encourage more merchants and customers to use cashless payment methods, which caused concerns over whether cash will soon disappear.“Some offline sellers refuse to accept cash, which impacts the natural circulation of yuan,” said Dong. He emphasized that a cashless society would not mean that cash would completely disappear. As the economy grows, the circulation of cash is still very huge, noted Dong. Also, its important to remember that nearly half of Chinas population live in rural areas, especially in undeveloped western regions, unable to enjoy innovation (革新) brought by the Internet, Dong said. And when it comes to Chinas senior citizens, most of them prefer to use cash in their daily lives, he added.“Its ridiculous to question digital payment tools contribution toward financial development. In the long term, various payment methods will be used by consumers, and merchants should respect consumers payment habits,” Dong noted.28.What does the underlined word “ that” in paragraph 3 probably refer to?A. Economic activity. B. Cashless payment.C. Development of economy. D. Large amount of payment.29.Why has Alibabas Hema store become a focus?A. It fights against illegal activities.B. It provides comprehensive services.C. Customers are not permitted to use cash there.D. It starts campaigns to encourage mobile payment.30.Which of the following will Dong find reasonable?A. Various payment methods ought to be respected.B. People should be encouraged to use mobile payment.C. Most elderly people have no access to mobile payment.D. Mobile payment isnt beneficial to a cost-effective society.31.What is the text mainly about?A.Chinas cashless trend.B. The research on mobile payment.C. The reasons to use mobile payment.D. Chinas cashless future.DI was born on the 17th of November 1828, in the village of Nam Ping, which is about four miles southwest of the Portuguese Colony (殖民地) of Macao, and is located on Pedro Island lying west of Macao, from which it is separated by a channel of half a mile wide. As early as 1834, an English lady, Mrs. Gutzlaff, wife of a missionary to China, came to Macao. Supported by the Ladies Association in London for the promotion of female education in India and the East, she immediately took up the work of starting a girls school for Chinese girls, which was soon followed by the opening of a boys school.Mrs. Gutzlaffs comprador(买办) happened to come from my village and was actually my fathers friend and neighbor. It was through him that my parents heard about Mrs. Gutzlaffs school and it was doubtlessly through his influence and means that my father got me admitted into the school. It has always been a mystery to me why my parents should put me into a foreign school, instead of a traditional Confucian school, where my big brother was placed. Most certainly such a step would have been more suitable for Chinese public opinion, taste, and the wants of the country, than to allow me to attend an English school. Moreover, a Chinese belief is the only avenue in China that leads to political promotion, influence, power and wealth. I can only guess that as foreign communication with China was just beginning to grow, my parents hoped that it might be worthwhile to put one of their sons to learning English. In this way he might become an interpreter and have a more advantageous position to enter the business and diplomatic world. I am wondering if that influenced my parents to put me into Mrs. Gutzlaffs School. As to what other sequences it has eventually brought about in my later life, they were entirely left in the hands of God.32. How was the author admitted to Mrs. Gutzlaffs school? A. Through his fathers request.B. Through his fathers friends help. C. Through his own efforts to exams.D. Through Mrs. Gutzlaffs influence.33. Why did the authors parents put him into an English school？ A. It met with Chinese public opinion.B. An English school was more influential. C. He could become a successful interpreter.D. Foreign trade with China was developing fast.34. What did the author think of his parents decision to put him into an English school? A. It was skeptical.B. It was wonderful.C. It was thoughtful. D. It was mysterious. 35. What does the underlined word “sequences” in the last sentence probably mean ? A. Results.B. Order. C. Series. D. Progress. 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。Looking back at my younger years，I am sometimes amazed at how life has turned out 36 The only thing that stays the same is who I am，my values，and my interestsIf I could go back in time and hang out with my younger self for a day，here's what I would tell her Everything happens for a reason Without mistakes and failure，you would never have learnedWithout pain，you would never have grownOnce you understand this，you will know that everything comes in to serve a purposeSo don't think that life is unfair，because everything happens for a reason 37 Focus on one thing at a time It is not surprising that many of us are doing too many things at onceWe need to make ends meetBut if you are working three jobs at a time，it is not likely that you will succeed at any of themYou have to keep your eyes on the big pictureYou have to ask yourself：What exactly do you want to achieve for the next 10 years？Focus on one thing at a time 38 39 You might be graduating or have hit a turning point with your careerYou might feel a bit lost and unsure of where to goIt's okayGo out there and try as many different things as you canDon't ever feel like you're wasting your timeEnjoy the journeyEvery little path will lead you somewhereAnd looking back，you will be able to connect the dotsIt will all make sense Don't try too hard with people Don't worry if you feel like it's hard to make new friends 40 It might take a while until you find n
