Charlie who used to be a teacher at Fudan High School liked to buy things from Taobao. Every time he wanted to buy products from Taobao, he had to ask help from his students. 2 Then he thought why not start a website to help other foreigners like himself. So he invited Jay and Tyler to create Baopals, a website through which they translate foreign customers’ address and orders into Chinese and then buy things from Taobao.
Baopals was set up in Shanghai in July 2015. 3 They needn’t worry any more about shopping on Taobao. When they buy a product on Baopals, they are buying it directly from Taobao. Baopals has product information and customer reviews which have been translated into English from Taobao. It really makes foreigners’ online shopping in China convenient.

Foreign buyers may have some doubts about online products. 5 The goal of this community is to build trust,” said Thornhill.

文章大意：本文向读者介绍了从古至今人们都使用何种方法来知晓时间，并对这些方法进行了大概的说明。

17. Time is of great importance to our lives. English is full of expressions describing the passage of time. There is an expression “beat the clock”, which means finishing a task quickly in order to meet a deadline. However, many years ago there were no clocks. 1 Over the centuries, people have developed different ways of telling the time.
About 5,500 years ago, the Egyptians invented the sun clock. 2 Its shadow (影子) showed the movement of the sun. So people were able to know midday. After that, the Egyptians made a sundial (日晷) about 3,500 years ago. It was smaller and could let people know the time for half a day.
And the ancient Chinese also invented the equatorial (赤道的) sundial to tell the time about 3,000 years ago. But on cloudy days or at night it was impossible to tell the time with a sun clock or a sundial.
3 The idea is simple. Water flows from one bottle to another. When the water reaches a certain level, it shows the hours. The Egyptians used water clocks about 3,400 years ago. These clocks were popular in the Middle East and China. But they filed to make people know the exact time.
In the 13th century, the mechanical (机械的) clock was invented. This was more exact, but it was expensive to make one. Over the next few centuries, it was developed. In 1927, the first quartz (石英) clock was created. 4 It became possible for common people to own a clock. People began depending on the clock more and more to run businesses, markets and so on. More recently, in 1956, came the digital clock. And nowadays, satellites send our mobile phones the time to the exact second.
There has been a lot of progress in timekeeping. 5 Many of us still have trouble getting out of bed on time and not being late for school or work.
A．It was a tall stone building.
B．Clocks became cheaper to make.
C．So knowing the time was not so easy.
D．People also used burning candles to tell the time.
E．Water clocks were the first clocks not to use the sun.
F．Clocks are always changing but some things never change.
18. Once upon a time an old man and woman lived in the mountains in Japan. 1 , while the old woman went to the river and did the washing.
One day, she was doing the washing when a big peach (桃子) came floating (漂浮) down the river towards her. As it was a big and juicy-looking fruit, she thought that her husband would be glad to eat it, so she took it home. When the old man came back for lunch and saw the nice peach, he was really happy. 2 .What a surprise! A lovely little boy was in the peach. The old man and woman had no children, so they were really grateful the gods (上帝) sent them a boy in this peach. Since he was born in a peach they decided to call him Momotaro which means “peach-boy”. The old woman cooked a meal for the little boy who ate as much as he could. 3 . Soon he became a tall and strong boy.
Day after day, all Momotaro did was sleep and eat. In the village the other boys went to the mountain and picked firewood while Monotaro was the only one doing nothing. 4 The boys then invited him,“Momotaro, would you come with us ? We’re going to collect fire wood.” But he answered, “I don’t have a basket, so I can’t go with you”. 5 .On hearing this, the old woman got angry with Momotaro for being so lazy, so the next day he went to collect firewood with the other boys.
A．The more he ate, the more he grew
B．Every day the old man went to the mountain and collected firewood
C．The old man and woman had no children before they had the peach
D．Then he went back to sleep
E．The old woman cut the big peach open with a knife
F．This worried the old man and the old woman.
19. Why Recess (课间休息) is So Important for Children?
Recess used to be a daily thing—if you drove past your local school after lunch, you’d see hundreds of children running, playing and just being children. 1 . Recent researches have found that recess is important for more than just keeping children healthy and fighting children fatness—it also helps improve cognitive (认知) skills. 2 .
Social Benefit (利益)
Children start learning social skills as soon as they start communicating with their parents. Once they reach the school age, their communications turn into with other children. 3 . These skills will carry them through childhood and into their adult lives.
4
Besides the social benefits, recess also has some cognitive benefits that are just starting to be developed. Science has shown that recess helps children to get information better, learn new things faster and improve creativity. Recesses from the school day are good for both the body and mind, and they help keep children more active in their studies and get the information they’re taught in class.
Physical Benefits
5 . At present, about 18.5 percent of children in the United States are considered fat. Much of this problem can be caused without recess. Kids might spend their time on computer games at least 30 minutes a day, recess can help them run, jump, play and just be kids. Now it’s summer。
