Rich countries are racing to dematerialise payments. They need to do more to prepare for the side-effects.

For the past 3,000 years, when people thought of money they thought of cash. Over the past decade, however, digital payments have taken off— tapping your plastic on a terminal or swiping a smartphone has become normal. Now this

revolution is about to turn cash into an endangered species in some rich economies. That will make the economy more efficient—but it also causes new problems that could hold back the transition(转型).

Countries are removing cash at varying speeds. In Sweden the number of retail cash transaction per person has fallen by 80% in the past ten years. America is perhaps a decade behind. Outside the rich world, cash is still king. But even there its leading role is being challenged. In China digital payments rose from 4% of all payments in 2012 to 34% in 2017.

Cash is dying out because of two forces. One is demand— younger consumers want payment systems that plug easily into their digital lives. But equally important is that suppliers such as banks and tech firms (in developed markets) and telecoms companies (in emerging ones) are developing fast, easy-to-use payment technologies from which they can pull data and pocket fees. There is a high cost to running the infrastructure behind the cash economy—ATMs, vans carrying notes, tellers who accept coins. Most financial firms are keen to abandon it, or discourage old-fashioned customers with heavy fees.

In the main, the prospect of a cashless economy is excellent news. Cash is inefficient. When payments dematerialise, people and shops are less open to theft. It also creates a credit history, helping consumers borrow.

Yet set against these benefits are a couple of worries. Electronic payment systems may risk technical failures, power failure and cyber-attacks. In a cashless

economy the poor, the elderly and country folk may be left behind. And a digital system could let governments watch over people's shopping habits and private multinationals exploit their personal data.

（1）Some rich countries are trying to . A. dematerialize money

B. get rid of the side-effects of cash

C. make the economy more efficient by protecting endangered species

D. promote payment without paper money or coins

（2）In paragraph 3, several countries are mentioned to show . A. the differences between developed and developing countries

B. that cash is still king across the world

C. digital payments are becoming a trend that cannot be stopped

D. China is developing faster that those developed countries in digital payment

（3）Cash is disappearing largely because .

A. younger consumers are short of money to live their digital lives

B. suppliers are trying to reduce costs and obtain money and data

C. the infrastructure is developing at a high speed in developed markets

D. financial firms want to abandon old-fashioned customers

（4）The author's attitude towards digitalized payment is .

A. favorable B. negative C. objective D. indifferent

【答案】 （1）D

（2）C

（3）B

（4）C

【解析】【分析】本文是一篇说明文，富裕国家正在减少现金支付,现金正在因为需求等原因消失。总的来说,无现金经济的未来是个好消息,但是对于电子支付人们也有一些担忧。

（1）考查细节理解。根据第一段中的“Rich countries are racing to

dematerialise payments.”可知, 富裕国家正竞相将支付非物质化；再根据第三段中的“In Sweden the number of retail cash transaction per person has fallen by 80% in the past ten years.”在过去的十年中,瑞典的人均零售现金交易数量下降了80％。结合上下文,可知某些富裕国家比如瑞典正在减少现金支付,推广不用纸币或硬币的支付方式,也就是电子支付方式。故选D。

（2）考查推理判断。根据第三段中的“In Sweden the number of retail cash transaction per person has fallen by 80% in the past ten years.”可知在过去的十年中,瑞典的人均零售现金交易数量下降了80％；再根据“In China digital payments rose from 4% of all payments in 2012 to 34% in 2017.”可知在中国,数字支付从2012年占所有支付的4％上升到2017年的34％。瑞典和中国的共同点是现金支付减少,电子支付比例上升,由此可推断作者提到瑞典和中国是为了说明数字支付正成为一种不可阻挡的趋势。故选C。

（3）考查推理判断。根据第四段中的 “But equally important is that suppliers such as banks and tech firms (in developed markets)... Most financial firms are keen to abandon it, or discourage old-fashioned customers with heavy fees.”可知现金消失的一个重要原因就是诸如银行和科技公司（在发达市场）和电信公司（在新兴市场）之类的供应商正在开发快速,易于使用的支付技术,他们可以从中提取数据和小费。运行现金经济背后的基础架构需要付出高昂的成本,这些基础设施包括自动取款机,载有纸币的货车,接受硬币的出纳员。大多数金融公司都渴望放弃它,或者以高昂的费用劝阻老式客户。也就是供应商为了减少成本,获取数据和小费,开发了更便捷的支付方式,导致现金支付的减少。故选B。

（4）考查推理判断。纵观全文可知，,作者提到无现金支付即电子支付的好处,也提到

电子支付引起的担忧,对待电子支付是客观的,故选C。

【点评】本题考点涉及细节理解和推理判断两个题型的考查，是一篇科技类阅读，考生需要准确捕捉细节信息，并根据上下文进行逻辑推理，从而选出正确答案。

3．阅读理解

Anyone who is afraid of failure and afraid to face challenges will never taste success, so said our professor in marketing. I laughed it off at that time, but got frightened when it actually happened in my life.

I landed in a small city in the Middle East to set up a firm, a world－class car rental firm. Having decided on the project, I earnestly settled in preparation. With a positive mind, I told myself nothing should stop me now, and was more than keen to make it a success.

However, the least expected thing happened. Iraq invaded Kuwait. Tension ran high in the region. Eventually the war broke out, and many people fled the country, leaving my firm in deep trouble.

As usual, \"things become difficult, and every effort seems to bring disappointment, it can be tempting to lower your expectations or even water down your goals and ambitions.\" I was no exception. I thought of running away. I remembered the words of Thomas Edison, \"Many of life's failures are people who did not realize how close they were to succeed when they gave up.\"

I decided to hang on, telling myself, \"I am not afraid of challenges and obstacles.\" I stayed on through months of uncertainty and insecurity. Finances ran low, and banks could not wait to get their dues. To add to all this, the banks even threatened to take all my vehicles. I felt I made a wrong decision to move there. I was now ready to face failure.

I was living against all hopes, believing that something good would happen. After 2 months the war ended. My persistence paid off: people started flooding back and the car bookings picked up, five times over.

Success comes to the one who dares, even after failure, to think positively and look forward confidently. After all, it is only the experience that makes a man tough. Failure does not mean you will never make it. It means that it will take a little longer. It provides us with a learning experience.

（1）The main method the author uses to support his understanding of his professor's viewpoint is ________.

A. offering analyses B. providing explanations

C. making comparisons D. giving examples

（2）How did the author feel when the war between Iraq and Kuwait broke out?

A. Unconfident B. Indifferent C. Nervous D. Calm

（3）What does the underlined phrase \"water down\" in the 4th paragraph probably mean?

A. get rid of B. smooth away C. make less

forceful D. improve on

（4）The author's purpose of writing the passage is most likely to ________.

A. inform B. persuade C. describe D. entertain

【答案】 （1）D

（2）A

（3）C

（4）B

【解析】【分析】本文是一篇夹叙夹议文，作者的教授曾经说过，任何害怕失败和害怕面对挑战的人永远都不会尝到成功的滋味。作者当时不以为然当，直到自己亲身经历了失败和挑战后，作者才意识到人们面对挑战或失败时要大胆应对，保持积极的心态。

（1）考查推理判断。一开始介绍了作者的教授提出的一个观点，但是作者当时不以为然，直到在今后实际生活中真正遇到了失败或挑战时才认识到了教授的观点。下文主要通过自己的亲身经历阐述了自己的观点，即通过举例说明的方式。故选D。

（2）考查推理判断。根据第四段中的“I was no exception. I thought of running away.”我也不例外。我想过逃跑；以及第五段中的“I felt I made a wrong decision to move there. I was now ready to face failure.”我觉得搬到那里去是一个错误的决定。我现在准备好面对失败了。可知当伊拉克和科威特之间的战争爆发时，作者感到没有信心。故选A。

（3）考查词义猜测。根据第四段中的“things become difficult, and every effort seems to bring disappointment, it can be tempting to lower your expectations or even”可知当事情变得困难，每一次努力似乎都会带来失望，它可能会降低你的期望，甚至降低你的目标和抱负。故可推测划线短语意思为\"削弱\"，与C选项含义接近。故选C。

（4）考查推理判断。根据最后一段中的“Success comes to the one who dares, even after failure, to think positively and look forward confidently. After all, it is only the experience that makes a man tough. Failure does not mean you will never make it. It means that it will take a little longer. It provides us with a learning experience.”成功属于那些即使在失败之后仍敢积极思考并充满信心地展望未来的人。毕竟，只有经历才能使人坚强。失败并不意味着你永远不会成功。这意味着它将花费更长的时间。它给我们提供了一个学习的经验。可知作者写这篇文章的目的是劝说人们面对挑战或失败时要大胆去对应，保持积极的心态。即作者写这篇文章的目的是说服别人。故选B。

【点评】本题考点涉及词义猜测和推理判断两个题型的考查，是一篇人生感悟类阅读，要求考生根据上下文的逻辑关系，进行分析，推理，从而选出正确答案。

4．阅读理解

Failure is an unavoidable part of life. Though science has named some life skills that promise success, we're told over and over again that no great success was ever achieved without failure -- or many failed attempts. One of life's most important lessons, therefore, has to be how to handle failure best. But what is the message?

For starters, ignore advice from anyone that tells you, \"Don't beat yourself up about it,\" no matter how well-meaning they are. According to the new research from the University of Kansas, we absolutely should be beating ourselves up when we fail. Marketing professor Noelle Nelson and her team found that the more emotional a person's response is to failure, the more likely they are to achieve better results the next time they deal with a related task.

The researchers carried out two experiments in which undergraduate students were required to perform specific tasks. In one experiment, they were asked to search online for a squeezer and report the lowest price they could find with the possibility of winning a $50 cash prize. However, the task was controlled, and all participants were told (by a computer) that the lowest price was $3.27 less than their reported price. Consequently, no participant won the cash prize. When the results were announced, some participants were asked to focus on their

emotional response, and others on their cognitive (认知的) response. During the next similar task, participants who focused on their emotional response to failure made more effort than those who focused on a cognitive response.

Everybody has their own unique challenges, responsibilities, duties, and projects, but these findings are related to all of us. Your personal failure may be a cake that fails to rise, a presentation that goes wrong, or a deadline that gets missed—it doesn't matter. What matters is how you react to it. Instead of thinking about the failure, let yourself feel bad about it. Then follow this advice on how to bounce back after your failure.

（1）What's the relationship between failure and success?

A.Failure promises success.

B.Failure is the key to success.

C.Failure does damage to success.

D.Well-handled failure is good for success.

（2）Why does the writer support beating oneself up when failing?

A.It's a well-meaning suggestion for failure.

B.It's been proved by the study of a university.

C.Being emotional is good for his future success.

D.It can make people less emotional about failure.

（3）Which can be the best title for the passage?

A.Personal Failure Is a Cake That Fails to Appear

B.The Most Productive Way to Handle Any Failure

C.Different Methods to Change Failure into Success

D.The Reason Why Failure Is the Mother of Success

【答案】 （1）D

（2）C

（3）B

【解析】【分析】这是一篇说明文。文章向读者传达了失败乃是人生不可避免的一部分，但是如何处理失败是很重要的。每次失败后，我们应该自责，自责能让我们下次做得更好。

（1）推理判断题。根据第一段中的we're told over and over again that no great success was ever achieved without failure以及“One of life's most important

lessons, therefore, has to be how to handle failure best.（人生中很重要的一课是学会如何最好地处理失败）”可知，好好处理的失败对成功是好的。故选D。

（2）细节理解题。由第二段中的“we absolutely should be beating ourselves up when we fail（当我们失败的时候我们应该自责）”与“the more emotional a person's response is to failure, the more likely they are to achieve better results the next time they deal with a related task（一个人对失败的情绪越大，下次他遇到相关的任务取得更好的结果的可能越大）”可知，对失败有情绪对将来的成功是很重要的。故选C。

（3）主旨大意题。这是一篇说明文，根据文章第一段中的最后一句“One of life's most important lessons, therefore, has to be how to handle failure best.（人生中很重要的一课是学会如何最好地处理失败）”可知，本文是教给大家如何有效地面对失败。故选B。

【点评】考查阅读理解。涉及细节理解题，推理判断题和主旨大意题。细节理解题要注意根据题目和文章的关键词在文章中寻找答案。推理判断题要注意联系上下文，推断出所需信息，主旨大意题要注意找文章的主题句或主题段落，联系上下文，从而判断出文章的主题。

5．阅读理解

My mother has a dining table which sits right in the middle of her dining room. It was once buried beneath piles of papers—magazines, articles, copies of schedules for vacations she took back in the 1990s, and baby pictures of grand

children who are now paying off their college loans.

My brother Ross and I recently flew to New York to visit my mother. \"Mom, why don't we go through all that stuff?\" Ross said. \"No. Don't touch it!\" My mother said. The next afternoon, when she couldn't find a bill she needed, Ross suggested it might be put somewhere in the dining room and that we find it together. \"Besides,\" he said, \"all those papers are clearly stressing you out.\" However, my mother just said, \"Are you boys hungry?\" And then she seemed to have lost herself in deep thought.

On our last night there, my mother walked up to us with a small pile of unopened mails, which she had collected at the western edge of the dining table, and said, \"Help me go through these.\" \"Sure,\" I said. When we had succeeded in separating wheat from chaff (谷壳), I asked, \"Would you want to deal with another little pile of papers?\"

My mother led the way walking into the dining room the way an animal manager might be while entering a cage with tigers in it. Ross and I came in behind her and suddenly he reached for a pile of the papers on one side of the table. \"No!\" my mother said sharply. \"Let's start at the other end. That's where the older stuff is.\" Finally, we threw 95 percent of the stuff into paper shopping bags. Then I asked what she wanted us to do with them, she surprised us all by saying, \"Put them in the incinerator (垃圾焚化炉).\"

When I returned home, inspired by the visit to my mother, I sorted out my

own accumulated(累积的) piles of papers, sold or gave away half of my possessions, and moved into a smaller house. It seems that my life has been cheaper and easier since then. And it proves that a small change does make a big difference.

（1）What did the mother ask her children to do with these unopened mails?

A. To burn them. B. To read them for her.

C. To collect them together. D. To pick out the important ones among them.

（2）When the mother walked into the dining room, she was________.

A. angry B. afraid C. impatient D. careful

（3）What's the author's attitude towards his mother's cleaning up the dining table?

A. Positive. B. Negative. C. Uncertain. D. Unknown.

（4）What might be the best title of the passage?

A. The precious mail B. A visit to my mother

C. A happy family reunion D. The lesson of the dining table

【答案】 （1）D

（2）D

（3）A

（4）D

6．阅读理解

It was many years ago. I was a young dad sitting on the couch reading a fairy tale to my little girl. She sat next to me with her head on my arm as I told the tale. When it came to the end I finished with those famous words: \"And they lived happily ever after.\" As I looked over to her with her wavy(鬈曲的), brown hair and big, innocent eyes I could see the smile on her face and I never wanted it to end. Then it dawned on me that the ending of the book was what I wanted for her. I wanted her to \"live happily ever after\".

Still, deep in my heart I knew that this couldn't always be so. I knew that

there would be times when her heart was broken. I knew there would be times when she cried in grief and I couldn't comfort her. I knew there would be times when all she felt was fear, sadness, sorrow, and despair. As I stroked her hair and smiled at her I hoped that those times would be brief and that she would have joy in her life more often than not. Living happily ever after, though, seemed out of the question.

It takes me a lot of years to realize that it is possible to live happily ever after. You just have to do it \"one day at a time\". Happiness you see isn't some reward that you get at the end of your journey. Happiness isn't something that depends on what life you own. Happiness is something you create in your life choice by choice and day by day.

The truth is happiness comes when you love. Love is a gift from God. It is love that mends broken hearts. It is love that heals grief. It is love that gives us joy. Choose to \"live happily ever after, one day at a time\".

（1）What is the author's wish to his daughter?

A. Getting a good job in the future. B. Making many friends in her school.

C. Traveling around the world in her life. D. Having a happy life ever after.

（2）What can we know from Paragraph 2?

A. Life's meaning consists in devotion.

B. Life is always full of difficulties and challenges.

C. There are times that life goes against us.

D. Everyone has the right to obtain happiness and freedom.

（3）How to get happiness in author's opinion?

A. Reward yourself once a day. B. Create it by yourself in your daily life.

C. Get rid of those disturbing things. D. Take charge of your life independently.

（4）What is the author's purpose in writing the passage?

A. To show the significance of love. B. To describe a daughter's growth.

C. To introduce the definition of love. D. To tell a young father's experience.

【答案】 （1）D

（2）C

（3）B

（4）A

8．阅读理解

Letting me move into my university dormitory wasn't an easy decision for my parents. However, they knew if I wanted a good education, I'd have to live away from home. I'd always dream of living alone the life of no rules and regulations and being independent. So I was delighted about this new stage in my life.

Unexpectedly, during the first few months of living alone, I would find myself crying every day. I would call my mum every day. Coming from a big family, I was used to noises surrounding me. Therefore, the scary silence at night was the worst. I couldn't even sleep without keeping the lights on.

As time went by, I started enjoying the freedom that came with living alone. I could do things in my own time: eat whenever I want, wake up whenever I want. The space of loneliness was also then filled up by friends who became like family,

so I started missing my family less.

When it was time to say goodbye and go back home after my graduation I was bittersweet. I'd enjoyed my time alone, learning things which wouldn't have been possible if I had never moved away from home. But I'd also missed my family too much.

I'd learned a lot from this experience. Living alone made me value family time even more. I realized every second with them was important though I might not get the freedom while living alone.

I guess it's different for everybody, but for me, there is no warmth in a house unless it's filled with loving members and people you love.

（1）How did the author feel before moving into the university dormitory?

A.Sad.

B.Happy.

C.Nervous.

D.Cold.

（2）What can we know about the author from paragraph 4?

A.He had mixed feelings.

B.He didn't enjoy his time alone.

C.He has been used to the life in school.

D.He found living with his family was better than in the school.

（3）What can be inferred from the last paragraph?

A.The author felt cold living in school.

B.The author's dormitory was the warmest place.

C.The author felt warm living with his beloved ones.

D.Everyone felt warm when living with his beloved ones.

（4）What does the author want to tell us?

A.Family is the most important place in people's life.

9．阅读理解

If you live in a place where most people speak the language you are learning, you may use the language for several hours each day. So it may become part of your \"inner speech.\" In other words, you start thinking in that language. Your mind stops trying to translate things from your native language into the second language. But most of the English learners live in places where English is not the main language. This may be true for you. You may not have many chances to practice English. You may even be self-taught.

Thinking in English really helps! It is not very difficult, but it does need practice. Here we will share some mental exercises. A good first step is to think in words. Look around you. What do you see? In your head, try to name each object in your surroundings. Charles Thomas has taught English for over 10 years. He tells his students to name the things that they see around them, wherever they

are.

Another exercise Thomas suggest is describing in your mind objects you don't know the words for. An example would be if you couldn't think of the word \"garage\". Thomas says, \"If you're looking at your house and you see your garage, but you can't think of the name in English. You can say, 'The place inside where I put my car' or you can say, 'It's next to my house. I keep things there.'\"

The next exercise is thinking in simple sentences. For example, if you are sitting in a park, you can tell yourself things like, \"It's such a beautiful day\" and \"People are playing sports with their friends.\" You can also describe your daily activities. Thomas asks his students to describe their day using the simple present verb form. So, they would think to themselves things like, \"I put on my shirt\" and \"He drives the bus.\"

How much time should you spend on these exercises? Thomas says you do a little every day. \"When you make things a habit, then it just pops up into your mind without thinking and then, before you know it, really, you're thinking in English.\"

（1）When a second language becomes part of your \"inner speech\

A.most people around you speak the language

B.you start thinking in the language

C.you translate things from your native language into it

D.you learn the language by yourself

（2）\"The place inside where I put my car\" is an example for ________

A.naming objects in your surroundings

B.thinking in simple sentences

C.describing objects you don't know the words for

D.describing your daily activities

（3）Which of the following is the best title for the passage?

A.Spend your time on exercises

B.Teach yourself a second language

C.Train your brain to think in English

D.Practice English wherever you are

【答案】 （1）B

（2）C

（3）C

【解析】【分析】本文是一篇说明文，介绍了在语言环境中学习语言的重要性，并给出了具体的学习方法。

（1）考查细节理解。根据第一段中“So it may become part of your ‘inner speech.’ In other words, you start thinking in that language. ”可知，当第二种语言成为你“内在语言”的一部分时，你就会开始用这种语言思考。故选B。

（2）考查推理判断。根据第三段中的“Another exercise Thomas suggest is describing in your mind objects you don't know the words for. ”可知，此句是总述句，因此“The place inside where I put my car”“我停车的地方”是用来支撑总述句“托马斯建议描述你的头脑中一些你不知道的东西”的例子。故选C。

（3）考查主旨大意。纵观全文全文可知，在一个大多数人都说你正在学习的语言的地方，你可以每天使用这种语言几个小时，然而大多数人不具备这样的条件，全文为这类人提供了具体的学习方法，目的要达到用这种语言进行思考。故选C。

【点评】本题考点涉及细节理解，推理判断和主旨大意三个题型的考查，是一篇教育类阅读，要求考生在捕捉细节信息的基础上，进一步根据上下文的逻辑关系，进行分析，推理，概括和归纳，从而选出正确答案。

10．阅读理解

The arts, especially music, should be part of every school's lessons at every grade level. Students would be much smarter if they had some musical experience. They could improve their classroom skills, like paying attention and following directions. People develop all these skills when they learn music. Making music also lets children use their imagination. It provides students with a chance to try out their own ideas.

Music not only makes children better students, but also gives them something positive to do. In a music program, children can be part of a band instead of joining a gang(团伙). Parents can enjoy listening to their children's music instead of seeing them gluedto a computer or TV screen. In a school band, students get to be part of a team. They can get along well with old friends and make new friends through music.

Music builds self－confidence, too. It gives children a sense of achievement and success. Making music is something for them to be proud of, and it lets kids practice performing in front of an audience. Music gives children an opportunity for self－expression, and that helps develop their self－confidence.

Once again, music is important because it can make children better students, give them something positive to do, and build their character. That is why music should be offered in every single grade in every school.

A.improving their classroom skills and attention
