But for foreign visitors , it may seem strange.Lim May, a girl who comes from Singapore studies in Shanghai, said once she was waiting in line(排队) to buy breakfast in Shanghai and saw other customers(顾客) show their phones and take the food without(没有) giving out any cash or using bank cards. Soon after, she knew that the customers were using WeChat Pay(微信支付). She was even more surprised to find that this kind of payment has spread to almost every part of Chinese people’s daily life now.Lim thought Singapore falls behind in mobile payments. ‘When visitors from China find that they have to use cash here, they ask, “How can Singapore be so backward?” Lim said.The popularity（普及）of mobile payments in China makes quite a few foreign companies to accept(接受) them. Many countries now accept mobile payment services for Chinese tourists, with WeChat Pay covered in 13 foreign countries and areas and Alipay(支付宝) over 200.While mobile payments are now a normal(正常的)part of life in China, it’s not so common in other countries even in the US. It’s reported that in 2016, Chinese mobile payments were nearly 50 times greater than those in the US last year.This may be partly because Western mobile payment services need businesses to install(安装) expensive equipment(设备) before customers can use them. While in China, all it takes is a QR code(二维码) and a smart phone.( ) 44. According to Lim’s experience(经历)，which of the following you may probably see when you buy things in China now?A. People use cash to buy things at a shop without waiting in line.B. People usually use bank cards to pay for breakfast in Shanghai.C. People often go shopping with their smart phones instead of(而不是) cash.D. People don’t take any cash with them when they go shopping.( ) 45. The underlined word “them” refers to(指的是) _______ in the last paragraph.A. the foreign visitors in ChinaB. cash and bank cardsC. the people come from SingaporeD. West mobile payment services( ) 46. Where may you read the passage?A. In a guide book.B. In a history book.C. In a dictionary.D. In a newspaper.( ) 47. What’s the title(题目) for this passage?A. China leads world in mobile payment.B. The development(发展) of mobile payment.C. Advantages(优势) of using mobile payment.D. How to use mobile payment in China.DThese days, we can share many things, such as bikes, cars and chargers(充电宝). Now, a “sharing bookstore” has also come out.Sanxiaokou Xinhua Bookstore, the world’s first sharing bookstore, opened on July 16 in Hefei, Anhui Province, according to China News. It sells book as normal(普通的) bookstores. But at the same time, it allows readers to take books home for free to read after paying a 99 yuan deposit(押金). They can borrow books by scanning a QR code (扫二维码) on the book.The bookstore is quite popular among the city’s readers. By Aug 26, more than 100,000 books had been borrowed. The number of visitors to the bookstores grows by 50 percent. The bookstore is going to open nine more stores in other places of the city.But some people question(质疑) that these sharing bookstores are just like libraries.“Although the two both rent(出租) books, sharing bookstores have more kinds of books,” Xu Xinwei, the store’s deputy manager(副店长), told China News that they also renew(更新) their book selection more often than libraries.48. When did the world’s first sharing bookstore open?(不超过5个词)49. If readers have already paid a 99 yuan deposit, how can they borrow books? (不超过10个词)______________________________________________________________________50. Compared with(和……比较) libraries, what are the advantages(优点) of sharing bookstores?((不超过20个词)Ⅴ. 单词拼写：根据首字母及汉语提示填空：51. Linda feels l ______ ( 寂寞的) when her parents are away from home.52. On the bus, we always see some road s________ (标识) along the way.53.Jim t_________ (扔) down his hat and went into his sister’s bedroom.54.In my o_________ (观点)，students shouldn’t play computer games.55.—How did your mother go to work this morning?---I don’t know. P_________(也许) she rode her bike.Ⅵ书面表达：“民以食为天”，饮食的安全和健康受到越来越多的关注和重视。

You have been to many picnics and had all kinds of junk food your mother and I probably shouldn’t have let you eat. But I also know that it hasn't always been easy for you and Mom. So now I want to tell you a little more about why I decided to take our family on this journey.When I was a young man, I thought life was all about me—about how I’d make my way in the world, become successful, and get the things I want. But then the two of you came into my world with those smiles and suddenly, all my big plans didn’t seem so important any more. I soon found that the greatest happiness in my life was that you were so happy. And 1 realized that my own life wouldn’t mean much if I couldn’t make you two ha ppy. In the end, girls, I ran for (竞选) President: because of what I want for you and for every child in the US.I want all our children to go to school so that they can learn and grow. I want them to have the chance to go to college—even though their parents don't have enough money. And I want them to get good jobs.I want us to see new technologies and inventions that improve our lives and make our earth cleaner and safer. And I want us to see no difference of different colors and areas because we are all equal (平等的).I hope both of you will start to give others the chances you’ve had. You know, this country has given our family so much, so you have to, and really should, give something back. When you are doing something larger than yourself, you will realize how helpful you are.These are the things I want for you—to grow up in a world in which you can make your dreams come true. And I want every child to have the same chances to learn and dream and grow and get what you girls have. That's why I've taken our family on this great adventure.I am so proud of you. I love you more than you can ever know. And I am thankful every day because you behave so well when we get ready to start our new life together in the White House.Love,Dad16.
