Passage A

Starbucks CEO Howard Schultz has made no bones about his ambition in China to  have one new Starbucks every day in China for the next five years.

认lhat  Schultz  is  also  candid  about,  as  a  businessman,  is  how  his  ambition  is  going  to  be realized       through  employees, or in the language of Starbucks,“partners”.

“Starbucks哼  unlike most traditional  consumer brands, has not built the company by traditional advertising.  The  brand  has  been  defined  by  experience,  and  that  experience  is  defined  by  our

people partners  wearing  greeη  aprons,” Schultz  told   China Da妙,during  his  latest  trip  to

Shanghai in late October.

Starbucks  enjoys  great  success  in  China more  than   2,400  stores  in  over   110  cities throughout  the past  17 years and supported  by over 34,000 employees. The coffee scene of China, the world ’s potentially  largest consumer market for the beverage, h出also been  radically  changed. Back  in  1999 when  the company  first entered  the Chinese mainland  market,  there was  barely  any competitor  and  few  consumers  could  tell  the  difference  between  a  latte  and  a mocha.  Now, like

many   other  industries,   China   is  not   only  a  fast  rising   consumer   of  the  beverage,   but  also increasingly catching up with the trends and happenings. Specialty coffee is the most recent case. “What we believe,出 a company,  is that China will  one day probably  su叩出s the size and scale of our busi ness in the US,'’ said Schultz.

Consultancy  firm  Euromonitor  estimated  that  Starbucks  had  a 73.3  percent  market  share  in China  in  2015,  compared  to  McCafe’s  (run  by  McDonald ’s)  9.3  percent  and  Costa  Coffee’s  9 percent.

“Any company that sells coffee can be a competito卫 Not with any a汀ogance, but we have always tried to focus on ourselves and things we can control. And if we do that well, we will  take

care of the competition,” said Schultz.

When  asked  if  he  thinks  the  Chinese  coffee  market  would  be  any  different  if  it  were  not Starbucks  which  entered  the country  back  in  1999, he paused  and  said he doesn’t think  any other company  would  have  been  able  to  solidify  the  position  that  Starbucks  has,“because  I  think  we

have done it in the right way”,

Schultz  said  he  believes  that  the  key  growth  driver  for  Starbucks  in  China  will  still  be traditional  stores, despite the market’s keen  interest in new premium  retail  spaces       the Starbucks Reserve and Starbucks Roastery.

31. The phrase “made no bones about" (para. I) most likely means 一一一一一··

A. to have something important

B. to build something special

C. not to t叩to hide something

D. not to try to show something

32. According to Schul位,what is especially important in realizing his ambition and build the Starbucks?

A. Partners wearing black aprons

C. Advertising

D. Financial suppo 吃S

33. Which of the following st创ements is NOT true?

A. Starbucks first entered China mainland in 1990s.

B. Starbucks has made great success in China but is difficult to solidify its position.

C. China is one of the largest consumer markets for the beverage in the world.

D. It was estimated that Starbucks had the much bigger market share than McCafe.

34. Which of the following statements CANNOT be inferred from the passage?

B. Nowadays, many consumers can distinguish a latte and a mocha.

C. The traditional Starbucks stores will be difficult to survive.

B. Starbucks in China

C. Starbucks’ Success in China

D. Starbucks’ Development  in China

Passage B

On  the  occasion  of International  Women's  Day,  we  celebrate  worldwide  the  contribution  of women  to the development of our societies. However,  as underlined  by this year’s Women’s Day’s motto,“Inspire change气 women  and girls around the world  continue to experience discrimination and violence in their everyday  lives: this must change.

Discrimination and violence against women is a global scourge. In the absence of effective remedy, acts of violence against women far too often remain unpunished. According to a  2013 global review, 35 percent of women worldwide experienced violence. Europe and China are no exception. Knowing and recognizing this reality is the first step in addressing the  problem.

Violence against women violates fundamental rights. Too often, it is wrongly perceived as a

“private” issue or condemned on grounds of tradition. However, apart from serious consequences for the health of victims, such as the spread of HIV and unwanted pregnancies, violence against women and girls also entails significant negative consequences and economic costs.

Furthermore, the transmission of an experience of violence to the next generation may

contribute to social instability. Violence against women and girls is an obstacle to development. Thus the public interest to act should be high, for the sake of building a prosperous society on the basis of equality and the rule of law.

While the experience of violence affects women of all social backgrounds, the specific situations of particularly vulnerable groups and individuals should be addressed 出 a matter of priority.

There  is no  uniform  solution  to  addressing  violence  against  women  nor  to ending impunity. In  the  European  Union,  countries  have  adopted  a  variety  of  approaches,  including  awareness raising   throµgh   education   and   campaigns,   capaci1y   training   for   judges    and   police,   and strengthening  the  criminal,  civil  and  administrative  legal  framework , including  through  eviction orders  against  pe叩etrators.  Among  these  policies,  women’s awareness  of  their  own  rights,  and support for them to report cases remains a key factor for progress.

In  China,  gender  equality  is  enshrined  in  the  Constitution.  Women’s organizations,  such  as

the  All  China  Women ’s  Federation  as  飞 ell  as  very  active  grassroots  NGOs,  contribute  to  the improvement  of the condition of women.

The  dra位 law  on  family  violence  currently  under  discussion  at  the  annual  session  of  the National  People’s Congress is considered  by stakeholders a historic opportunity to tackle the issue in  a holistic  manner  by  covering  the quality  and  availability  of support  services such  as shelters, legal  aid  and  medical  services, and  improving  the awareness  and capacity  of judges,  prosecutors,

police and lawyers. Once adopted and implemented , it could set a new standard for similar endeavors  elsewhere.

As  global  players,  China  and  the  EU  are also 阅lled  upon  to fmther  upgrade  their  efforts to contribute  to  the  elimination  of  violence  against  women  in  other  parts  of  the  world.  With  the adoption  in  2008 of its Guidelines  on  Violence  against  Women  and Girls the  EU  has  made this a priority of its human rights wmk  in regard  to third countries.

Sadly, there is a great need to intensify cooperation to combat sexual violence in conflict situations. Women also need to be able to contribute more fully to peace efforts and  nation building.

Let  us, today,  strengthen  our resolve  and join  forces with  the UN  secretary  general ’s VNiTE

to End Violence against Women campaign. Let us not aim low. Our goal must be that women and girls everywhere can fully realize their right to a life free of violence and can do so now. Our common goal must be to change and to inspire change.

36. In the first paragraph ,‘吐出” refers t   一一一一  ·

A. development of everyday life

B. inspiring change

C. discrimination and violence against women

D. contribution of women to our societies

37. According to the second paragraph, we can infer that    一一一一一-

A. women in France never experience discrimination

B. women in Beijing never encounter violence

C. all acts of violence are legally punished in Europe and China

D. discrimination and violence are found everywhere

38. In the European Union, to address violence against women, many countries have adopted approaches EXCEPT 一一一一一一·

A. finding jobs for particularly vulnerable individuals

B. raising women ’s awareness of their rights through education and campaigns

C. capacity training for judges and police

D. strengthening the criminal, civil and administrative legal framework

39. Now the National People’s Congress is discussing 一一一一  ·

A. a historic opportunity

B. legal aid and medical services

C. the draft law on family violence

D. the capacity of judges

40. In the last paragraph, "Let us not a如1 low” most probably means 一一一一一一·

A. we should also consider women and girls in the northern part of the world

B. we should work hard to fully guarantee the safety for every girl and woman in the world

C. we should pay more attention to women and girls in poorer nations

D. we should eliminate violence and discrimination in Europe and China


Passage C

From ancient to modern times, building or buying a house has been a big issue for most families. People hold different views on housing, and there is no right or wrong. Confucius, the founder of Confucianism, had his own special view on  housing.

Let’s see if it can still be useful  to us today.

1. Con且1cius’ income w臼sufficient to buy a house

Confuci us’ income  came  from  two  parts,  one  part  was  from  a salary, and  the  other  tuition from  his  students.  Confucius  held  difierent jobs  as a warehouse  keeper,  an accounta时,a cashier and an official managing a pasture who always did an excellent job  in every position.

When he was 56 years oid, Confucius was the head of the supreme judicial cou口in the  Lu State, with a revenue of 90,000 kilograms of millet, which equals to an annual income of millions of yuan today. Besides, there 叭'ere     also some benefits like barbecue meat when the monarch made a sacrifice.

Confucius was a pioneer in opening a private school. He had 3,000 disciples. He once said that bringing a piece of preserved meat would allow someone to become his student. This tuition was not small, as meat was a luxury in ancient  times.

Confucius always lost his public employment so tuition became his main source of income. Among Confucius' students, some were very poor like Yan Hui and some were quite rich like Zi Gong, who was willing to pay for almost all the daily expenses for Confucius.

Throughout Confucius' whole l ife, especially after he rose to fame, he was never troubled by money and had enough financial power to buy a  house.

2. Confuci邸’ demands on his living environment

Yan Hui was Confuci us' favorite disciple, and he came from the mean streets, or what we would call a slum today. Despite his humble background, Confucius valued Yan Hui and gave him high praise.

Once Confucius said he wanted to l ive in a remote, rural area, and some  said,

conditions there  are too poo几 how  can  you  live?” Confucius replied,“If one is a gentleman  who lives there, what do conditions have to do with anything?” Confucius held  the view that whether  a person  is a gentleman  or not, has nothing to do with whether  his living environment  is luxurious or

simple.

Confucius   didn’t   care   about   his   neighborhood,   but   W出  more   concerned   about   the environment  on  a  larger  scale.  He  advised  against  emigrating to  warring  countries,  and  if chaos occurred in a count叩,to get away from the country as soon as possible.

3. Con如cius on quality of housing and materials

Confucius  said,“Pursuing  wealth  is a good  thing,  if the way  of making  money  is prope几 I

can even be a carriage driver. Even if one can’t be rich, one can still follow his hobbies”.

When  Confucius  was  working  as an  official,  he  Jived  in  a big mansion  which  had  a stable. Once his stable was on fire, he first asked if anyone was hurt, and didn’t ask how the horses were.

Confucius' view on building materials  can be seen from his critical words to Zai Yu, who said that rotten 飞 'ood can’t be used to carve and dung and di口can’t be used to construct a wall.

Confucius often quit his official position and moved out of the luxurious house the monarch offered him. He held the view that people who get used to living in good houses easily become proud and only people living in ordinaiγ houses can stay down to earth and honest.

4. How can we apply Confuch邸’ thinking on housing today?

In general, Confucius' views on housing can be summarized as:

(1) It  doesn’t  matter  whether  you  have  prope此y  or  not,  what  matters  more  is  if  your aspiration can be realized. Real estate can be sacrificed for the sake of an ideal.

(2) It  doesn’t  ma忧er  whether  the  house  is  good  or  not,  but  the  neighbors’ moral  conduct

matters,

(3) It doesn’t matter  whether  the house and  its materials and  decor is of good  quality  or not. It’s whether the people  living inside behave in accordance with etiquette ihat really ma忧ers.

Confucius' view on housing still has much influence on individual virtue cultivation today, which instructs us to pay more attention to our morality instead of being too materialistic. However, the reality is that pursuing a better house or better living environment is still important for most people. Perhaps what we can take away from Confucius is that a better cultural environment is as important as a better l iving environment.

41. According to the passage, what did Confuci us do EXCEPT 一一?

A. a teacher B. a warehouse keeper

C. an accountant D. a doctor

42. The word “etiquette" in the last paragraph but one most probably means 一一 ·

A. teaching in the school

B. rules and regulations

C. the formal rules of proper (social) behavior

D. the kind heart

43. Which of the following statements is NOT correct?

A. Confucius is not poor.

B. Confucius didn’t care about the living environment.

C. Confucius preferred to Jive in ordinary houses.

D. Confuci us had a lot of disciples.

44. What  can  we  infer  from  Confucius’ saying “Pursuing  wealth  is  a  good  thing,  if the  way  of m战ing  money  is prope民 l can  even  be a carriage  driver.  Even  if one can’t be  rich,  one can  still follow his hobbies”?

A. Pursuing wealth is not the most important thing.

B. A carriage driver was not so happy.

C. Being rich can help us pursue something important.

D. People who can make money properly can be very rich.

45. The best title of the passage is 一一一一·

A. Culture Insider: What did Confucius Say About Housing?

B. Living in a Better Cultural Environment

C. Confucius' View on the Living Environment

D. Housing: A ncient and  Modem

Mobike and ofo are major providers of the service, which is very popular ar口ong  young urbanites. Hu Weiwei. is a firm believer that bike riding can be used 部 an effective gauge  to me出ure the quality ofurban  life.

“If a city is bike friendly, that means it has good-quality air, well-designed roads and plenty

of big tall trees to make people feel safe and comfortable to travel on two-wheel vehicles," she said, adding that in a sense, a happy urban life cannot exist without bikes.

Based  on this  idea, Hu’s bike-sharing  st衍旬1p Mobike  aims to  make  cities  in China, now the

world ’s largest  automobile  market,  move  to  bikes,  and  it seems that  it has  a chance  of ge忧ing  its way as a growing number of venture capital  firms have poured  in cash to support the effort.

Since August, the Beijing-based Mobike, which allows people to use an app to locate and borrow available bikes nearby, has landed four rounds of financing, totaling hundreds of millions of dollars.

But its record is not unique, as its cross-town rival, another bike-sharing startup named  ofo, has also pulled off fundraising four times since August. According to a report from Bloomberg, ofo is valued at $500 million, an unusually large size for a company that is just 2 years old.

On average, every 15 days, these fim1s get new money from new investors. An aηay of big-name companies, including Didi Chuxing, Xiaomi Corp and Tencent Holdings Ltd, have given money and even other resources to bankroll the development of the bike-on-demand industrγ in China.

For Hu, the founder of Mobike, the investment has not come from nowhere . “People have

always  had  the  demand  to  use  bikes  for  short-distance  travel  of  less than  5 kilometers.  With  the development of mobile internet technology, we can now make that happen,’'she said.

Many cities in China have government-run bike-rental programs, but Mobike and ofo have made things so much easier as users can borrow and return bikes, which are equipped with GPS systems, with just a smartphone. No complicated procedure, such as going to a specific location to pay a deposit, is required.

Nan Jiang, a 26-year-old doctorate student at the Beijing-based Beihang University, said he  is a frequent user of o旬,which started as a campus-based program, and now gears  up to take on more roads with the war chest provided by  investors.

“It is very  convenient  and  cheap       at 0.5 y气ian  (7 cents)  per hour·” and  most  importantly,

you  can  park  it  wherever  you  want  after  using  it. No  need  to  return  it  to  a certain  location,’'he said.

Xiao Min, a partner with Matrix Partners China, which ied a multimillion-dollar  investment in ofo in September, said in an earlier interview that transportation  is a very    high-frequency

service, which has the potential to create a market with a big transaction volume.

\lVhile  ride-hailing  services  meet  people ’s demand  for mid-to-long  distance travel,  there  is a huge demand for short-distance travel, which has not been met.

"For  example,  a  large  number  of  white-collar  workers  in  Beijing  and  Shanghai  use  public transportation  every day, which  means there  is demand to commute from their  office buildings  or apartments to the nearest bus station or subway station. And there is no better solution  for this than bikes,’'he said.

According to a recent repo时 from Roland Berger, the ride-hailing and car-rental market combined creates a market that is estimated to be valued at 1.8 trillion 严1an in 2018.

Raymond Wang, partner with Roland Berger China, estimated bike sharing is a multibillion-yuan market in China, and the bike-sharing model will be adopted mostly in urban areas.

“The top challenge of bike sharing is the business model and profitability. 认Till  it  make

money  from rental,  advertising  or subsidies  from the government ?” he said, adding in his opinion that rental is the most feasible model  for bike-on-demand  companies to make money.

However,  for  Hu,  being  profitable  is  not  the  subject  on  her  mind  yet.  "[f your  product  has value  and  is widely  used,  it will  be  profitable  sooner  or later.  For  us,  at this  stage, how  to create value is what ma饥ers most ,’'she said.

“The bike-rental war has just started. 认le all know that there will be only one player left in

the  battlefield  at  the  end.  But  at  this  stage,  competition  is  good  to  rapidly  boost  the  size  of the market,’'said ofo investor Xiao.

Passage E

An early study of forms in cettain languages used by speakers of one sex and not the other is Mary Haas (1944/1964). She found that in Koasati, a native American language spoken in western

Louisiana,  there  were  several  systematic  differences  between  men’s and  women ’s versions  of the

indicative and imperative verbal paradigms. Ha臼 presents these differences in the form of  rules

deriving the men’s forms from the women’s.

In addition to her description of Koasati in this connection, Haas went on to review what 飞:vas known at the time about the phenomenon in other languages. Besides cases where the sex of the speaker determines the form, there are other c出es where the sex of the addres. ee is a determining factor, although these languages ar巳 even less common than the Koasati type. Rarer still are languages where the sex of both the speaker and the hearer is important. For example, a woman might use a different form when she is talking to another woman compared with when she  is talking to a man, while a man might use a third forr口,meaning the same thing as the first two, regardless of to whom he is talking.

Verb morphology in the second-person singular is even more sensitive to sex. There is one fonn used by either men or women when they are talking to men. 孔吁1en women are addressed, there are two separate forms depending on the sex of the speaker. A man would use a  different form to a woman from what a woman would use to another  woman.

Douglas  Taylor  (1951)  provides  another  example,  this  one  from  Islancl  Carib  from  the Caribbean  nation, Dominica. In this Ian伊age, there is a tendency (apparently receding)  for men to use the names of qualities, states, and actions as if they carried  frm jn 11e gender while women  treat them  like  mascu/jne gender  nouns.  The  expression  ‘the other day’,for  example,  would  忱 地方a buga if  a woman  says  it,  but  tugura buga if  spoken  by  a  man. Interestingly,  Taylor  reports  that

‘perhaps  a  minority  of  men’ regularly  use  feminine  forms  for  non-concrete  nouns,  but  that  ‘ all

women resort to this trick' when they are quoting conversations between men. Haas mentions that

in  Koasati  narratives,  women  use  men’s forms  to  quote  male  characters  and  men  use  women ‘s forms for quoting female characters.

51. Which of the verb forms is imperative in the following sentences?

A. Come here! B. He comes here!

C. Does he come here? D. He came here.

52. According to H础5’ review, what determines the language fo口n?

A. th巳 sex of the speaker

B. the sex of the addressee

C. the sex of either the speaker or the addressee

D. none

53. 飞叽1ich of the  following cases can indicate “verb morphology  in the second-person  singular is even more sensitive to sex”?

A. When women are addressed, either men or women use one form.

B. When women are addressed, the sex of the speaker cannot determine the form.

C. When men are addressed, men or women use different forms.

D. When women are addressed, a male speaker can use a different form from what a female speaker would use.

54. What does “receding” in the last paragraph probably mean?

A. becoming weaker

C. becoming stronger

55. \\而at is the passage mainly about?

A. Verb morphology in some languages

C. Men’s and women ’s language forms

in  those  days  that  people  often  joked  about  it.  They  said  that  a  person  could  not  even  stay home一一_84_ church on Sunday without the whole town knowing about it. It was difficult to have  一_85一_in  a  small  community  like  that,  but  there  was  usually  a(n) 一_86一_of securi纱,of belonging, and of community 一一_87一一 in such places. 一一_88一_church and the local  movie  theater,  there  w臼 not  much   in  the    一_89一_of  entertainment.  Some  people
