AThanks to technology, ride-hailing(打车)is as easy as opening an app on your phone. Ac-cording to Didi, China’s top ride-hailing app, 81.3 percent of passengers preferred using an online service last year. But just like many other modern high-tech developments, convenience comes with concerns.Didi Chuxing announced a trial re-launch of its carpool(拼车)service, Didi Hitch(滴滴顺风车), in seven cities including Harbin, Taiyuan and Beijing from Nov 20. More than a year ago,Didi suspended the service following the murders of two separate female passengers in May and August, respectively.The re-launch comes with a range of new safety features. One of the new measures proved controversial. It carried out an 8 pm curfew(宵禁)on women, but allowed men to enjoy the service till 11 pm.Many users complained on social media that the policy was sexist. According to CNN, the topic “#WomenCan’tTakeDidiAfter8PM#”was trending on weibo, with one post calling it “negative marketing and gender-biased(性别歧视的)”. It had gained more than 70,000 likes as of Nov 11.After the strong public reaction, Didi Chuxing changed its decision. Both men and women will be able to use Didi Hitch between 5 am and 8 pm.According to CNN, Didi Hitch had logged more than a billion total rides before its suspension, but it remains to be seen if the company can win back users’ trust.Didi is not the only ride-sharing app to arouse public safety concerns, nor is it the only one to attempt special protections for women. The globally popular car-hailing services Uber and Lyft now require strict background checks and emergency SMS services that will automatically send a car’s description, license number, and current location to police, CBS news reported.According to CNBC, one Boston-based ride-hailing service only hires women to drive and will only accept women or children under 13 as passengers. Despite all the safety features, riders should check their drivers’ number plates, ensure they are being taken on the correct route, and inform friends of travel plans.21.The underlined word “suspended” in Paragraph 2 probably means __________.A.improved on somethingB.worried about somethingC.stopped something for a timeD.took the responsibility for something22.Why did Didi Chuxing change its Hitch curfews?A.Because of its recent online risk analysis.B.Because of the public’s negative reaction.C.For the convenience of different users.D.For the sake of safety problems of women.23.The passage is probably taken from _________.A.an advertisementB.a textbookC.a newspaperD.a public speechBWhile we may think it feels good to complain, complaining has some bad effects associated with it.Why isn’t complaining beneficial? Research shows that it connects our brain with negativity. The brain is designed to work efficiently. This means that when we repeat a thought, negative or positive, the nerve cells form a bridge between each other to pass information in a higher speed. Therefore, the next time we have a similar type of thought, it is more easily passed. This explains why certain thought patterns become habits.Yet the harmful effects don’t stop there. A study show s that complaining causes the hippocampus(海马体), which plays a vital role in problem-solving, to become smaller.In addition to causing brain damage, complaining also releases a stress hormone: cortisol(皮质醇), a kind of chemical the body produces when we meet with some danger. Constantly having a high level of cortisol results in high blood pressure, high blood sugar, and lower immunity(免疫力).The ill effects of our complaining aren’t just limited to ourselves: they also involve those around us. We tend to mirror the moods of our friends. For this reason, we should be cautious about having stubborn complainers in our circle of companions.The best way to deal with constant negativity is to develop a sense of gratitude. Just like complaining acts as a poison, gratitude acts as a medicine. Research shows it lowers cortisol levels by 23 percent, as well as reduces blood pressure and blood sugar. It also decreases tiredness and depression. Gratitude is the perfect cure for complaining, a behavior that steals our brain power, happiness and physical well-being.What have you observed about the effects of complaining in your own life or in the lives of others?

It’s usually not true, but British actress Phoebe Waller-Bridge, 34, is an exception.Just like Fleabag, the character she played in the comedy-drama series of the same name, Waller-Bridge feels that her life is a mess. “It’s just really wonderful to know— and reassuring (令人欣慰的)—that a dirty ... angry, messed up woman can make it to the Emmys,” she said. She may be “messed up”, but Variety magazine calls her an “all-around icon”.Last month, Waller-Bridge took home three Emmy awards for her work on Fleabag— best writing in a comedy series, best lead actress, and best comedy series.Her success is partly because of her family. Descended(……的后裔)from British nobility, Waller-Bridge was brought up in a free environment. Her mother always told her, “You can be whatever you wan t if you imagine it.” So Waller-Bridge broke all the rules about what a “good” girl should do.“Our laws and moral codes don’t apply—she lives ... without fear of consequence,” The Sunnoted.That fearlessness extends to being authentic in her writing and acting.Unlike the can-do heroines and strong, successful women in many TV dramas, Waller- Bridge shows a flawed but real character. The character Fleabag was a screw-up who always found a way to say or do the wrong thing. “It resonated with the lives of stressed-out women everywhere in reality—doing their best to find balance in their lives,” a viewer wrote on US movie website IMDb.Villanelle in Killing Eve, another hit TV series developed by Waller-Bridge, was a little bit violent but showed no interest for the rules others created, which make many people see themselves in her.“People have been scared to write characters like these. But I think, now, women are so relieved to have this new template(样板). And, aren’t we all a bit of everything?” Waller-Bridge said in an interview with Indian Express.With such courage and sincerity(真诚), Waller-Bridge is, without a doubt, a “golden girl” in Hollywood, Australian news website The New Daily commented.27.What is the article mainly about?A.

How did Waller-Bridge’s parents influence her growth?A.They constantly encouraged her to be herself.B.They pushed her to follow social codes.C.They taught her to write and act when she was young.D.They always reminded her to be curious and fearless.29.The underlined phrase “resonated with” in Paragraph 7 probably means “__________”.A.messed upB.was in agreement withC.had great effects onD.paid attention to30.What do Villanelle in Killing Eve and Fleabag in Fleabag have in common?A.Both are courageous and organized.B.Both are rebellious but strong and successful.C.Both successfully find balance in their lives.D.Both are much alike in character.第二节(共5小题;每小题2分,满分10分)根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。
