There is nothing worse than fumbling around in your pocket tr ying to find some small change to pay for a newspaper or a c offee. It is good to know that new technology is making cash a thing of the past, turning us into a cashless society. Beijing h as become the “smartest” city in , according to a report on cas hless societies released on July 31.
The report was jointly published by the Chongyang Institute fo r Financial
Studies at the Renmin University of China, French market res earch firm Ipsos, and Chinese tech giant Tencent, whose mas sively popular WeChat social media platform now features onl ine payment.
It measured the level of “smart cities” using different indexes, such as transportation, education, shopping and food delivery , in 324 Chinese cities and polled over 6500 residents on their use of mobile payment.
Overall, Beijing ranked first in the penetration of a cashless so ciety, followed by Shenzhen, Guangzhou and . recently debut ed its first staffless convenience store. Additionally, Beijing re sidents can use their mobile wallets to buy everything from tra in tickets and movie tickets, to admission into the Forbidden C
ity.
The cities of Dongguan and Foshan were the dark horses in t he top 10, ranking(排名) sixth and tenth, respectively. According to the report, 40 percent of Chinese carry less than 100 yuan(＄15) in cash when going out, while 52 percent use cash for only 20 percent of their total monthly consumption. Over 70 percent of respondents said they could live more tha n a week with only 100 yuan(＄15) in cash, and 84 percent w ere “comfortable” going out with only mobile phones and no c ash.
However, the report also shows that young people are leading the cashless trend. Cashless influence is relatively smaller a mong the older generation. The average amount of cash peop le carry declines with age.

Every month, people worldwide upload about 6 billion photos t o the Internet. Photography is now so common, it is easy to fo rget that photographs—and the memories they hold—
can be very precious.
In a cold, windowless basement in , there is a man who know s the real value of a photograph. Since 1983, Bill Bonner has l ooked after National Geographic’s photo archive(档案
馆). The archive holds around 8 million prints – many over 10 0 years old.
In his long career, Bonner has looked at hundreds of thousan ds of photos. He believes each image holds a memory. Some
of the pictures record moments in history. Many others, he sa ys, show “people like us, just doing our thing, living our life.” M any of these memories have been forgotten by the outside wo rld. But they still have the power to tell us a lot about the past. When the archive’s earliest photos were taken, photography was difficult and expensive. Photographers needed special eq uipment and chemicals to develop their pictures. Cameras we re large and heavy—
some weighed 20 pounds (9kilos) or more. Early explorers us ed these massive cameras to photograph people and places t hat most people had never seen. Photography expeditions to ok several months, or even years. “They devoted their lives to this,” Bonner says.
Bonner feels responsible for keeping these memories alive, fo r people now and in the future. Many of the images are fragile (易碎
的), and he has to be very careful to preserve them. For Bonn er, these figures from the distant past are almost like his ance stors. “For me,” he says, “It’s like opening your grandparents’family album for the first time.”
59. The passage is mainly about________________
a family’s photos
how old photos help us to remember the past
the story of an old photographer
D. the history of photography.
60. What do people worldwide do about 6 billion times every month?
Send photos to their friends.
Post photos on the Internet.
Watch videos on the Internet.
D. Download photos from the Internet.
61. According to the writer, we sometimes forget that photogr aphs are
A. expensive
B. common
C. valuable
D. worthles s
62. What is the best title of this article?
A. Preserving the past.
B. Sweet memories.
C. Fragile photos
D. Historic moments
C
Deciding what to wear in the morning is a challenge for som e people. We often worry about what others will think of us be cause of our clothes. But researchers are beginning to think t hat our clothing has an equally powerful effect on how we see ourselves.
Scientists Adam Galinsky and Hajo Adams report that there is science behind our style. In their research, Galinsky and Ada ms had some participants(参与
者) wear white lab coats similar to the ones scientists or docto rs wear. Other participants wore their normal clothes. The part icipants took a test that measured their ability to pay attention. In the experiment, participants saw cards with different-colored words on them. They had to say the color of the word they saw, not the word itself. The people wearing the white la b coats said the correct color of the word more often. Galinsky and Adams think that the white coats made the parti cipants feel more confident and careful. The researchers also believe that other kinds of “symbolic” clothes can influence th e behavior of the people wearing them. A police officer’s unifo rm or a judge’s robe, for example, increases the wearer’s feeli ngs of power or confidence. And in workplaces that have a dr ess code, “symbolic” clothes may also affect how well employ ees do their jobs.
Fashion blogger Jessica Quirk believes that our clothes greatl y affect how we feel about ourselves. According to Quirk, “Th ere is joy and luck and confidence in what we wear.” On her b log called “What I wore,” Quirk posts a photo of what she’s we aring every day. She says that people should pay more attenti
on to what they wear. For example, we should choose a look t hat makes us feel more creative and happy. One way to do thi s at work is to “dress up for the exciting job we want,” she say s, “not the boring job we have.” Another way is to wear specia l clothes that mean something to us. For example, Quirk wear s one special pair of shoes to all her important meetings. The y are her “lucky” shoes.
As Quirk points out—and as researchers have discovered—our clothes are “like our second skin.” The clothes we wear ca n affect our behavior. They can also tell the world something about us, without us having to say a word.
63. What do you think paragraph 2 is mostly about?
A. A description of an experiment
B. The opinions of a blo gger
C. A biography of two scientists
D. Advice from two scient ists
64. What happened in Galinsky and Adams’ experiment? Put the steps into the correct order.
a. participants looked at the words each written in a different c olor.
b. the researchers counted the correct items.
c. the participants said the colors, not the words.
d. the researchers gave some participants white coats to wear .
A. d,c,a,b
B. d,a,c,b
C. b,a,c,d
D. b,c,a,d
65. In paragraph 3, some examples of symbolic clothes are m entioned to explain
A. why people wear uniforms
B. how special clothes can change people’s behavior
C. why it is important to have a dress-code for certain jobs.
D. why police officer feels confident.
66. What is the main idea of the passage?
A. The clothes we wear can affect how we feel
B. The clothes we wear should be symbolic
C. The clothes we wear make us feel more powerful
D. The clothes we wear can affect what others think of us.
D
In the warm, shallow waters of coral reefs live animals with a n amazing ability. These animals, known as cephalopods(头足纲动物), are able to change the appearance of their skin. Squid, octopi, and cuttlefish are all types of cephalopods. Eac h of these animals has special cells under its skin that contain pigment, a colored liquid. A cephalopod can move these cells
towards or away from its skin. This allows it to change the pat tern and color of its appearance,
Cephalopods mainly use these cells as camouflage to hide fro m predators. For example, cephalopods can blend in to the co lor of the sea floor, making them invisible to predators. They c an also change color to scare predators away. For example, t he skin of the reef squid is usually a plain brown. When a pre dator passes close by, the squid makes large “eyes” patterns on its skin. This makes the squid appear much bigger than it r eally is. Squid can also use these cells to communicate other messages. When two male reef squid fight, black and white li nes appear on their skin. These send a message that the squi d is fierce. A reef squid searching for a mate can flash colorful patterns, sending a message that it is attractive. Amazingly, reef squid can send two messages at the same ti me. They can send one message on their right side and a diff erent message on their left side. For example, when males ar e searching for a mate, they flash attractive patterns on one si de of their body. This is the side a female sees. On the other side of their bodies they can show their fierce zebra stripes. T hus is the side other males see. They can quickly flip the mes sages if the female swims to the other side!
With the ability to display 30 colors and patterns, the incredibl
e ree
f squid really is a master of disguise and a skillful comm unicator.
67. Which statement is true according to the article?
A. Cephalopods are some of the most attractive animals in th e ocean.
B. Cephalopods can communicate better than any other ocea n animals.
C. Cephalopods have an amazing ability to change the way th ey look.
D. Cephalopods can move very fast.
68. Which is Not the reason that cephalopods change their co lor， according to the article?
To attract mates.
To play games with each other.
To hide from dangerous predators.
To make other animals frightened.
69. Which word has the similar meaning to the word “predator s” in paragraph 3?
A. friends
B. mates
C. partners
D. hunters
70. The passage is mainly about:
problems with the world’s coral reefs.
the special ability of some sea animals.
how some animals adapt themselves to the environment. how some sea animals search for a mate.
