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?

C. Advertising
D. Financial suppo 吃S
33. Which of the following st创ements is NOT true?

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?
A. Chinese people like e 飞Joying Starbucks coffee.
B. Nowadays, many consumers can distinguish a latte and a mocha.
C. The traditional Starbucks stores will be difficult to survive.
D. Nowaday飞 there are many competitors of Starbucks.

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.
46. What does the phrase “pull off ' most probably mean?
A. to succeed in B. to look for
C. to gather D. to invest
47. When using Mobike, how can people borrow bikes?
A. by app.
C. by card
B. by phoning
D. by paying ahead
48. Which of the following statements is NOT correct?
A. Ofo and Mobike are very convenient for short同distance travel.
B. According to Hu, at this stage creating value from bike-sharing is the su均ect on her mind.
C. People must pay when using Mobike or ofo.
D. People must re阳rn the bike to certain places after using Mobike.
49. What does the word “bankroll 忡 most probably mean?
B. to lend money for
D. to find money for
50. Which of the following statements or phrases can best summarize the passage?
A. Bike-sharing is a growth vehicle. B. Mobike and ofo
C. A new way of short-distance travel D. Bike-friendly cities
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
B. going out
D. going up
B. Masculjne and feminine gender
D. Gender determinations
