三、阅读理解。(共10小题;每小题2分,满分20分)
A(2018·枣庄)
Do you shop online with websites like Taobao? The money you pay doesn’t go directly to the seller. Instead, it goes through Alipay, which keeps your money for a while. After you receive your goods and click the “confirm receipt” button, Alipay then gives the money to the seller.
The process is called “third party online payment”. There is a transfer station, or a third account, between sellers and buyers to make online shopping safe. Buyers don’t need to worry
about paying for goods and then receiving nothing. Sellers also get rid of the risk of receiving no money after sending out goods.
These transfer stations are usually set up by payment service companies such as Alipay, Tenpay an Yeepay. Among them, Alipay is the biggest in China. It has more than 270 million active users, according to Xinhua.
While most online sellers and shoppers like the third party online payment system, banks are not very happy. That is because companies like Alipay are fighting over money with the banks. Users can invest(投资) in financial products through Alipay and make money. Thus lots of people choose to put money in Alipay rather than in banks.
But WeChat payment is not the same. WeChat doesn’t have its own account. When paying through WeChat, the buyers’ money goes directly to the sellers. That’s why so many people are excited about receiving and handing out “red envelopes” or gift money to their friends on WeChat.
Whether Alipay or WeChat payment, they are all trying to attract more users and make online shopping easier. These two companies are also promoting payments through fingerprints, New payment methods such as quick response codes have become popular too.
( )1. How many ways to pay are mentioned in the passage?
A.2. B.3. C.4 D.5.
( )2. Paragraphs and 2 mainly want to introduce how_____________.
A. to run a Taobao shop B. to make your money safe
C. Alipay works D. to make money by using Alipay
( )3. According to the passage, we can imagine __________ in the future.
A. real money will not be used
B. payment through fingerprints will be popular
C. third party online payment is sure to avoid all the risks in trade
D. Alipay will take the place of banks
( )4. Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage?
A. New payment methods make our life easier.
B.Putting money in Alipay is a good way to make money.
C. Banks are angry about losing some customers.
D. Quick response codes are more popular than any other method.
( )5. What does the passage mainly talk about?
A. Using new technologies to do online shopping.
B. Some ways to pay in our daily lives.
C. The advantage of third party online payment.
D. It is convenient to do shopping online using Alipay and WeChat.

It is reported that some developed countries have shipped broken parts of computers to China.Last month, Hong Kong officers found 131,000 kilograms of broken computers, TVs and phones sent from Japan.
Things like these are called electronic waste or e-waste. Dealing with them is not an easy job. Every time an old computer breaks down, it needs to be dealt with safely. What’s worse, at present,broken computer parts are usually buried. It may be hundreds of years before they are really gone in the earth.
Many places in China are polluted by e-waste. Guiyu in Guangdong Province is one of them. This town is named as “the e-waste capital of the world”. It has to deal with 1.5 million kilograms of e-waste each year, from which it makes 75 million yuan. But it comes at a cost. Many of the poisons in e-waste find their way into the environment. An environmental group has found the air, the earth and the rivers in Guiyu badly polluted.
Luckily, the Chinese government wants to change the situation. This year, China passed a new environmental protection law. Computer companies like Lenovo and Dell are asked to take back their old computers. Hopefully, the problem with e-waste will be solved in the near future. ( )6.

阅读下面短文,根据要求完成下列各题。
A(2018·吉林)
Alice is a college student and in her internship(实习期)now. Last month, she bought a scarf which she really liked. It cost her more than 50 dollars. It’s not cheap, but it made her happy, because she had dreamed of having one for a long time.
Every morning, when she puts on her new scarf, she feels so happy that it seems the whole day is full of hope. Alice has been used to rewarding(奖励)herself through shopping. This hobby also drives her to work hard and makes her life keep getting better.
But her mother Mrs Miller thinks quite differently. When Mrs Miller knew the price of Alice’s new scarf, they started to argue (争吵) with each other and the argument(争执) lasted for almost a whole day. Her mother thought that she shouldn’t spend so much money on it, while Alice thought her mother didn’t understand her at all.
But Alice didn’t know that her mother’s life was very hard. When Mrs Miller was very young,she could not find enough clothes to wear in winter. She needed to learn how to spend every penny(便士)as if it were two so that she could survive.
It’s just natural that two people can’t understand each other because they have different experiences. Then how can you change the situation? Try to be patient with the people around you. Try to get to know them. And try to stand in their shoes. If Alice follows the advice, I think she will get on well with her mother.
根据上面短文的内容回答问题。(每个小题答案不超过6个单词)
1. How much did the scarf cost Alice?
2. How has Alice been used to rewarding herself?
3. When did Mrs Miller start to argue with Alice?
4. Did Alice’s mother have an easy life when she was young?
5. How many pieces of advice does the writer give Alice?

To make teenagers realize how hard it is to raise a baby, some children are asked to care for a bag of flour(面粉) as if it’s a baby. However, raising a baby is a lot more difficult than that. Maybe the latest interactive(互动的)robot RealCare Baby3 can help solve the problem.
RealCare Riby 3 is designed to be used in a training programme for teenagers or other people who need the experience. The robot makes it possible for people to practise looking after a baby 24 hours a day, seven days a week. To do that, they must wear a special bracelet(手镯)which can send out signals(信号) to connect to a receiver in the baby.
The baby is the same weight as a real baby and has got different sensors(传感器)and electronics inside. It may start erying at any time of the day or night and its parent must come to look after it withintwo minutes. A data logger(数据记录器) will record any delay(耽搁). Once the parent gets to the baby, he or she must pick it up softly, holding its head at the same time. If the parent doesn’t do it in the right way, the baby will cry louder and the data logger will keep a record again. Then the parent needs to find out why the baby cries and think of ways to stop it from crying. Besides baby’s cries, the parent also needs to remember to change its clothes according to different temperatures to prevent it from gettingtoo hot or too cold.
根据上面短文的内容填空。(每空词数不限)
