With Alipay and WeChat, cashless payment is nothing new. Now, China is going further by encouraging more people to use digital yuan or e-CNY, a digital currency(货币).
Jiangsu Province would encourage the use of e-CNY in its education system, according to a recent plan by the Jiangsu Education Department. By December of 2023 students in Jiangsu would probably pay tuition fees(学费), exam fees and receive scholarships in e-CNY. To use e-CNY, people just need to download(下载) the e-CNY app and open an account.
“The functions(功能) of e-CNY are exactly the same as those of the paper currency, except that the former is digital，” Mu Changchun, director of the People's Bank of China's Digital Currency Research Institute, told China Daily.
But e-CNY is much safer compared to Alipay and WeChat payment. E-commerce platforms that accept payment by e-CNY will not have access to users' personal information. “Users' privacy protection with e-CNY is at the highest level among all existing payment tools，” said Mu.
“In addition, the use of e-CNY can reduce transaction(交易) costs for smaller businesses，” said Zhou Maohua who works at China Everbright Bank. At present, third-party payment platforms such as Alipay and WeChat ask for certain fees when money is transferred(转账) through them. E-CNY payment, however, can transfer money directly from buyers to sellers, which will greatly reduce transaction costs.
E-CNY has been trialled(试点) in 17 provinces and cities, such as Suzhou, Shenzhen and Chengdu. China is still working to expand(扩大) its usage in more areas.
5．At the very beginning of the passage, Alipay and WeChat are mentioned to ________.

D．surprise the readers

A．Get scholarships.
B．Open an account.
C．Download the e-CNY app.
D．Pay all fees.
7．What's the advantage of digital yuan according to the passage
A．The functions are more than those of Alipay and WeChat payment.
B．Digital yuan is much safer than any other payment tool.
C．17 provinces will use digital yuan instead of Alipay and WeChat payment.
D．It will greatly protect users' personal information.
8．What is mentioned in Paragraph 5
A．The safety protection about e-CNY.
B．The disadvantages of e-CNY.
C．The transaction costs about e-CNY.
D．The popularity of e-CNY.

Imagine you're taking an exam, and then you find it difficult to answer those questions. And time's running out. Will you waste the little chance that you get to cheat
Certainly, it's not correct. It's important to follow the rules because the world would turn into a total mess without rules. However, with time passing by and the development of the society, some rules have become barriers(障碍) to people's success. A famous person once said, “We have so many rules in life about everything. But it's impossible to be a creator if you're too well-behaved(行为得体). You have to think outside the box.” Some rules are created to restrain people, and some become old and boring. So sometimes, it's okay to break the rules. In 1823, William Webb Ellis took the ball in his arms and ran with it during a school football match. In this way, he started a new sport: rugby(英式橄榄球).
Since you've already known why someone wants to break the rules, now you need to learn how to do it.
Learn the rules first. Qi Baishi is a talented Chinese artist, but he spent much time learning traditional drawing and painting skills before he found his own styles. Master them before you break them—that's what you can learn from great minds.
Evaluate(评估) if the result is worth it. Each person has his own values(价值观). Before breaking the rules, think over whether it will go against your values. And the moment you decide to do that, you must be ready to have a wise thought to face the bad results.
9．How does the writer organize the text
A．By asking questions.
B．By giving some examples.
C．By telling stories.
D．By listing data.
10．What does the writer think about rules
A．Rules are made to support people.
B．Most of the rules go against our values.
C．Some rules can stop people's success.
D．Rules don't become old and boring.
11．What does the underlined word “restrain” probably mean
A．Save. B．Limit.
C．Love. D．Believe.
12．What can we know from the example of “Qi Baishi” according to the text
A．We should master the rules before we break them.
B．It's important to follow the rules.
C．We have to think outside the box.
D．No one wants to break the rules.

According to the data from NASA, the ocean has risen almost 10 centimetres since it started checking water levels in 1993. And scientists say sea levels may rise by more than 2 metres by 2100. This is a serious problem. As sea levels rise, areas close to oceans will be more at risk of flooding.
The Netherlands has some of the most powerful flood defenses(防御) in the world. Without them, a third of the country would be underwater. The Netherlands also has a growing number of floating buildings, which can move up and down with the changing seas.
The city of Rotterdam is home to the world's largest floating office building, as well as a floating event space and what's been called “the world's first floating farm”. And in the northern part of Amsterdam, the country's capital, is Schoonschip—a neighbourhood where over 140 people live in floating houses. The neighbourhood was built on a canal in an old manufacturing area, and has 30 buildings, including a shared meeting space.
Schoonschip is designed to be sustainable(可持续的). Each building has its own heat pump and solar panels, and residents(居民) share things like bicycles, cars and food. “I think it's kind of strange that building on water is not the first choice worldwide，” Schoonschip resident Siti Boelen told Yale Environment 360．
This kind of neighbourhood might soon be found more often outside of the Netherlands, since Dutch engineers are now working on floating projects in other countries—including what is promised to be the world's first floating city in the Maldives. But there are some disadvantages that come with living in floating houses. They need more protection and care than houses on land—and strong winds or stormy weather can make them rock back and forth, which can make people inside them feel sick!
13．The writer tells us the fact of rising sea levels in Paragraph 1 by ________.
A．telling stories B．asking questions
C．listing numbers D．giving opinions
14．What will happen if there are no flood defenses in the Netherlands
A．Houses will be more at risk of flooding.
B．Some land of the Netherlands will disappear.
C．The sea levels will be higher than before.
D．Fewer floating buildings will be built.
15．According to the passage, which of the following is TRUE about Schoonschip
A．Schoonschip is the biggest floating office building worldwide.
B．People in Schoonschip share everything in their daily lives.
C．Siti Boelen thinks it's strange to have buildings floating on water.
D．We will find more neighbourhoods like Schoonschip around the world.
16．What is the writer's opinion about the floating houses
A.He thinks the floating houses are harmful to the sea.
B．He thinks it's comfortable to live in the floating houses.
C．He thinks the floating houses need further improvements.
D．He thinks it's difficult to build the floating houses.
