八、阅读理解
A
I return to my hometown of Wilson Creek after I have been away for 10 years.
So many things have changed around here. When I left Wilson Creek, there was a small pond（池塘）on the right. They have filled in this pond and they have built a large shopping mall there. A new post office has also been built just across from my old school.
There is a baseball court on the outskirts of Wilson Creek which has been changed completely. We used to drive for several hours from the city center to get there. Now, a new stand （看台）has been added so that more people could sit. It looks really great.
The biggest changes have taken place in the center of the city. It has changed into a walking area and you can’t drive there any more. A European-style fountain（喷泉）has been built and some benches have also been added along with a grassy（长满草的）area and a new street cafe.
My street looks just the same as it always does, but a public library has been built in the next street along. There used to be a great park there, but they have cut down all the trees, which is a pity. The library now has a large green area in front of it, but it’s not the same as when the park was there.
Another improvement（改进；改善）is the number of new restaurants. A Chinese and an Italian restaurant have opened in the town center and a Mexican restaurant has opened near my home, which is where I am going tonight!

A. a fountain B. a shopping mall C. a park D. a school

A. 中心 B. 地下 C. 郊区 D. 城区
3. What changes have taken place to the park
A. There are many trees in it. B. It’s got bigger.
C. It has become a library. D. It has become a zoo.
4. What can we infer from the passage
A. The writer misses the food of an old restaurant.
B. The writer hasn’t been away from home for long.
C. The writer prefers the new city to the old one.
D. The writer isn’t happy with all the changes.
5. What is the passage mainly about
A. Changes of me. B. Changes of my school.
C. The layout of my city. D. Changes of my hometown.

China created its first high-speed railway line in 2008. Since then, the number of passenger trips has grown by over 30 percent every year. By 2020, one-fifth of the country's 150,000-km railway network had been used by high-speed trains. 这个网络把中国超过80%的主要城市连接起来。
Mobile payment
Mobile payment is turning China into a “cashless society”. Instead of paying by cash(现金), customers now pay for their goods and some kinds of bills simply by typing a short password into the Alipay or WeChat app on their mobile phones.
Online shoppingWith around 751 million Internet users, China has been the world's largest and fastest-growing online shopping market. Because of lower costs and fewer licensing requirements (执照要求), it's easier for sellers to open an online shop in China than a brick-and-mortar shop(实体店).

八、阅读理解
A
I return to my hometown of Wilson Creek after I have been away for 10 years.
So many things have changed around here. When I left Wilson Creek, there was a small pond（池塘）on the right. They have filled in this pond and they have built a large shopping mall there. A new post office has also been built just across from my old school.
There is a baseball court on the outskirts of Wilson Creek which has been changed completely. We used to drive for several hours from the city center to get there. Now, a new stand （看台）has been added so that more people could sit. It looks really great.
The biggest changes have taken place in the center of the city. It has changed into a walking area and you can’t drive there any more. A European-style fountain（喷泉）has been built and some benches have also been added along with a grassy（长满草的）area and a new street cafe.
My street looks just the same as it always does, but a public library has been built in the next street along. There used to be a great park there, but they have cut down all the trees, which is a pity. The library now has a large green area in front of it, but it’s not the same as when the park was there.
Another improvement（改进；改善）is the number of new restaurants. A Chinese and an Italian restaurant have opened in the town center and a Mexican restaurant has opened near my home, which is where I am going tonight!

Changes in Our Life
With the rapid development of China’s economy, great changes have taken place in our life in the past few years.
In my hometown, the most important change is that many paths have been turned into wide roads. As a result, it’s easier for us to travel. People used to walk or ride bikes to work, but now they often take buses and many even drive their own cars. In school, students sit in the new teaching buildings instead of old houses. There they not only learn from books but also through computers.
I hope we will live a better life in the future. I will study much harder so that I can realize my dream.
