三、阅读理解：
A
Even if you’re not among the 95% of millennials (千禧一代) that take selfies (自拍), you know that selfie is the ruling king of amateur photography. According to a wave of recent reporting, the prevalence (盛行) of selfies is unbelievable: the average millennial will take 25,700 in their lifetime; it is claimed that females aged 16 to 25 spend five hours taking selfies per week, and on average, 93 million selfies are taken worldwide each day.
But perhaps the most shocking statistic involves a far smaller number: 49. That’s the number of people that have died taking a selfie since just 2014.
People dying while attempting to snap the perfect photo of themselves isn’t new or breaking news, of course. Statistics have figured out that there were more deaths by selfie than deaths by shark attack in the year 2015.
Digital Trends found that 30 percent of all photos 18-to-24-year-olds take are selfies. And while women generally take more selfies than men—61.6 percent of selfies taken in New York City featured a woman, men tend to be much rasher.
Despite the selfie prevalence among United States’ celebrities (名人), exhibited by everyone from Ellen GeGeneres to Kim Kardashian, the country is far from the worst for taking selfies. Nineteen, or 40 percent of the deaths since 2014 happened in India. Seven happened in Russia, and five in the US.
The ease of photography and the dopamine (多巴胺) producing satisfaction of social media stars aren’t entirely to blame, though. None of the deaths were caused by the photograph itself, but happened because the person wasn’t paying attention to the dangers around them. Regardless, maybe it’s high time to let the selfie trend finally die.
1. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?
A. Females aged 16 to 25 spend five hours taking selfies per day.
B. The number of people that have died taking a selfie since 2014 is 49.
C. There were more deaths by selfie than deaths by shark attack in 2014.
D. 40% of the deaths by selfie since 2014 happened in Russia.
2. What results in death by selfie directly?
A. the ease of photography
B. the dopamine producing satisfaction
C. the photograph itself
D. Photographer’s not paying attention to the dangers around
3. The passage mentions selfies exhibited by Ellen GeGeneres and Kim Kardashian in order to___________.
A. show that it’s high time to let the selfie trend finally die
B. show the prevalence of selfies among United States’ celebrities
C. show that none of the deaths were caused by the photograph itself
D. explain the US is far from the worst for taking selfies
4. What’s the author’s attitude towards the selfie trend?
A. Negative B. Positive C. Neutral D. Grateful
B
Russia, Morocco and Tunisia have gained popularity among Chinese mainland tourists during this year’s National Day holiday due to favorable currency rates and relaxed visa policies while Taiwan suffered a dramatic decrease in the number of mainland holidaymakers.
The China National Tourism Administration (CNTA) said it recorded 593 million tourism-related visits and revenue reached 482.2 billion yuan ($ 72.31 billion), 14.4 percent increase over the same period last year. This exceeded its forecast of 478.1 billion yuan and 589 million visits.
Among overseas travel destinations, visits to Russia rose by over 103 percent — the third most popular overseas destination for Chinese tourists behind South Korea and Japan.
A former CNTA official surnamed Yang told the Global Times that “Russia is China's neighbor, so many tourists from northern China can easily go to Russia by train, plus the ruble's depreciation and healthy Sino-Russian ties make Russia an ideal tourist destination for Chinese.”
Countries like Morocco, Tunisia and Tonga also enjoyed a spike in tourists from China after they lifted their visa requirements on China residents, enjoying an increase of anywhere from 300-600 percent, CNTA said.
Tian Fei, an employee of Ctrip, a Chinese travel agency, told China Radio International that the reasons why more Chinese are choosing to travel overseas include a favorable exchange rate, preferential visa policies and an increase in the number of flight routes.
However, Taiwan has been suffering. Taiwan only received 7,915 visitors from the mainland, a drop of 69.29 percent compared to 2015, CNTA said.
The "Golden Week" tourism was also affected by the Belt and Road initiative. Many Chinese provinces along the ancient Silk Road, such as Gansu Province, Inner Mongolia and Xinjiang Uyghur autonomous regions, saw a marked increase in tourists and revenue, CNTA said.
5. Which of the following is closest in meaning to the underlined word “spike” in Paragraph 5?
A. sharp rise B. sharp decrease C. a sharp-pointed metal D. a long metal nail
6. According to the passage, which of the following is not the reason why more Chinese are choosing to travel overseas?
A. favorable exchange rates B. relaxed visa policies
C. improved living standards D. increased flight routes
7. Which of the following statements is NOT true?
A. There were not more than 25,000 visitors from the mainland to Taiwan in 2015
B. Many Chinese provinces along the ancient Silk Road benefited a lot during this year’s Golden Week.
C. In 2016, the most popular overseas destination for Chinese Golden Week holidaymakers is South Korea.
D. Russia, Morocco, Tunisia and Tonga have all gained popularity this year among Chinese Golden Week holidaymakers.

How quickly can you count from one to ten? Do you use ten different words to do it? Can you do it in English, or do you have to use your first languages? Do you count on your fingers? Many people think that numbers and math are the same all over the world. But scientists have discovered that it is not true.
People in different parts of the world use different ways to count on their fingers. In the United States, people think begin counting with their first fingers, which they extend or stick out. They then extend the rest of their fingers and finally the thumb(拇指）to count to five. Then they repeat this with the other hand to get to ten. In China, people count by using different finger positions. In this way, a Chinese person can easily count to ten on only one hand.
Besides ways of finger counting, scientists have found that cultures and languages are also different when it comes to numbers. Some languages have only a few words for numbers, and others have no words for numbers. A group of scientists studied aboriginal(土著的）people in Australia. These people don’t have hand movements to stand for numbers. They don’t even have word for numbers. However, they are still able to understand different ideas about numbers.
In a similar study, researchers from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology discovered that people of the Piraha tribe (部落） in northwestern Brazil don’t have words for numbers such as “one” or “three.”. They are not able to say “five trees” or “ten trees” but can say “some trees,” “more trees,” or “many trees.” Professor Edward Gibson said that mist people believe that everyone knows how to count, “but here is a group that does not count. They could learn, but isn’t not useful in their culture, so they’ve never picked it up.”
Although all humans are able to understand quantities(数量）,not all languages have numbers and not all people use counting. Number words in a certain language are a result of people needing numbers in their daily lives. Now we know that people have different ideas about numbers and math, too.
8. The writer begins with the four questions in order to______.
A. make a survey B. interest readers C. tell a story D. solve math problems

D. People of different cultures use the same way of finger counting.
10. Which of following is true about aboriginal Australians?
A. They have only a few words for numbers
B. They have hand movements to stand for numbers
C. They can only count to five on their fingers
D. They can understand different ideas about numbers
11. The study of the Piraha tribe shows that____
A. people all over the world know how to count
B. People of the tribe have words for number
C. Some groups of people are not smart enough to count
D, Counting is not useful in the culture of the tribe
12. What is the main idea of the passage?
A. people from different cultures have different ideas about numbers and math
B. Chinese people can count more easily on their fingers than Americans
