What did Chinese entrepreneurs (企业家) speak in the forum? Ar
11、e there some quotable quotes for you?Jack Ma, founder and executive chairman of Alibaba Group“I think globalization cannot be stopped no one can stop globalization, no one can stop trade. If trade stops, the world stops. Trade is the way to dissolve (溶解，结束) the war not cause the war,” said Ma in Dav
12、os, “Google, Facebook, Amazon and Alibaba we are the luckiest companies of this century. But we have the responsibility to have a good heart, and do something good.”Richard Liu, founder and chief executive officer of JD“Business is not only a way to make money but also a way to contribute yourself,
13、to help people,” Liu said in a speech in Davos. “How can we face the fractured (分化的) world? Thats the topics of the Davos this year. I think a very important thing in business is cooperation. If we can unite, work together, if we work very closely, I think we can bring more hope to the people and we
14、 can build more trust between the people, countries and companies and partners,” he said. Jane Sun, CEO of Ctrip“Tourism is a sunrise industry. Since I entered Ctrip, every year there are new comers, which, first of all, shows that tourism is booming.” Sun told S in Davos. “We invested heavily in AB
15、C. A refers to AI, B is big data, and C is cloud computing. As we continue to expand overseas, these three will be very good weapons for us. So we think those mean opportunity,” she said. Hu Xiaoming, president of Aliyun“In 2018, people will see the development in various countries more closely conn
16、ected with cloud computing. More manufacturing enterprises and financial institutions will start to use cloud, and cloud computing will increase the efficiency of technology and finance,” Hu told Xinhua in Davos.21.

18、. Economy recovery. B. The World Economic Forum. C. Cloud computing. D. Financial efficiency.BPublic transport is declining in the rich world. To those who have to squeeze onto the number 25 bus in London, or the A train in New York, the change might not be noticeable. But public transport is becomi
19、ng less busy in those places, and passenger numbers are flat or falling in almost every American city. That is despite healthy growth in urban populations and employment.Although transport agencies blame their unpopularity on things like roadworks and broken signals, it seems more likely that they a
20、re being outcompeted. App-based taxi services like Uber and Lyft are more comfortable and convenient than trains or buses. Cycling is nicer than it was, and rental bikes are more widely available. Cars are cheap to buy, thanks to cut-rate loans, and ever cheaper to run. Online shopping, home working
21、 and office-sharing mean more people can avoid travelling altogether.The competition is only likely to grow. More than one laboratory is developing new transport technologies and applications. Silicon Valley invented Uber and, more recently, apps that let people rent electric scooters(滑板车) and then
22、abandon them on the pavement. China created sharing-bicycles and battery-powered “e-bikes“, both of which are spreading.Transport agencies should accept the upstarts, and copy them. Cities tend either to ignore app-based services or to try to push them off the streets. That is understandable, given
23、the rules-are-for-losers attitude of firms like Uber. But it is an error.It is doubtful that most people make hard distinctions between public and private transport. They just want to get somewhere, and there is a cost in time, money and comfort. An ideal system would let them move across a city for
24、 a single payment, transferring from trains to taxis to bicycles as needed. Building a platform to allow that is hard, and requires much sweet-talking of traditional networks as well as technology firms. It is probably the secret to keeping cities moving.24. What is the change in public transport in
25、 big cities?A. It is becoming busier. B. It is getting less popular.C. There are fewer traffic delays. D. There is more new transport.25.

By providing research resultsC. By stating arguments D. By comparing different approaches27. According to the text, t
27、he key to keeping cities moving is _.A. to develop an ideal system that satisfies everyoneB. to build a platform that appeals to transport agenciesC. to provide people with more means of transportationD. to cater for both traditional networks and technology firmsC“Tomorrow is another day” this line

39、ick as a child. Food cravings are a strong desire for a specific type of food. And they are normal. Scientists at the website How Stuff Works compare hunger and cravings this way. Hunger is a fairly simple connection between the stomach and the brain. They even call it simply “stomach hunger.” When
40、our stomachs burn up all of the food we have eaten, a hormone (荷尔蒙) sends a message to one part of the brain for more food, which regulates our most basic body functions such as thirst, hunger and sleep. The brain then produces a chemical to start the appetite and you eat. Hunger is a function of su
41、rvival. A craving is more complex. It activates (使活跃) brain areas related to emotion, memory and reward. These are the same areas of the brain activated during drug-craving studies. So, some scientists call food cravings “mind hunger.” People often crave foods that are high in fat and sugar. Foods t
42、hat are high in fat or high in sugar produce chemicals in the brain. These chemicals give us feelings of pleasure. In a 2007 study, researchers at Cambridge University found that “dieting or restricted eating generally increases the possibility of food craving.” So, the more you deny yourself a food
43、 that you want, the more you may crave it. However, fasting is a bit different. They found that eating no food at all for a short period of time lessened food cravings. So, the next time you crave something very specific, know that your brain may be more to blame than your stomach. 32. What is the f

What dieting may bring us.第二节（共 5 小題；每小题 2 分，分 10 分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填人空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。Do teenagers know how to sleep? If youre the parent of teens, you might be laughing
47、 to yourself. Thats all they know how to do. In truth, teens might not know enough about how to sleep, when to sleep and why. 36 .Just as we focus on our diets and exercise for health, we need to consider sleep necessary to our mental, physical and psychological health. “Good” sleep is sleep that is
48、 long enough to allow your brain to remove the side effects of daytime brain activity. Consistent bed times and wakeup times are the key to keeping our sleep cycles. 37 . Teens are social creatures, and the most attractive social “gathering” place these days is on their digital devices. 38 . Ideally, we should avoid blue light for at least half an hour before bed. But social media and homework that requires screen time mean too many kids are powering up their devices when their bodies should be powering down for the night.
