| 第1题：In 2007 Safaricom, the biggest mobile operator in Kenya, launched M-PESA, a service that allows money to be sent and received using mobile phones. It is used by 70% of the adult population and has become central to the economy: around 25% of Kenya’s GNP flows through it. Similar schemes have had some success elsewhere. There has been a particular push in eastAfric A、Yet in many poor countries where mobile money should be flourishing, it isn’t. Mobile-money services are especially useful in developing countries. A、worker in the city can send money to his family in the village without having to waste a day travelling on a rickety bus. Indeed, he can pay his family’s household bills directly from his phone. It is safer too, nobody wants to carry wads of currency on public transport. Mobile money also gives its users—many of whom are poor and have no access to banks—a way to save small amounts of money. Mobile transactions are more traceable than cash, making it harder for corrupt officials to embezzle undetecteD、And lately Kenya has discovered a further benefit: the success of M-PES A、has provided the foundation for a group of start-ups in Nairobi that are building new products and services on top of it. Not all countries need mobile money, of course. Rich countries, with cash machines, credit cards and Interact banking, have little use for it.And among developing countries, not all have Kenya’s specific mix of circumstances. Safaricom had a dominant market share when it launched M- PESA, giving the service a large base of potential customers.But there is also a bad reason why mobile money has failed to spreaD、Many of the poor countries that would most benefit from mobile money seem intent on keeping its suppliers out—mainly by insisting they should be regulated like banks. Nobody disputes the idea that financial transactions need to be monitoreD、But there is also, equally clearly, a rather big difference between a cheap money-transfer system like M-PES A、and a full lending bank likeCiticorp. The security worries are usually fairly easily dealt with. Placing a limit on the size of transactions and the total balance that can be stored reduces the risk of mobile money being used to launder cash. Another concern is consumer protection: cunning operators could steal cash. One compromise, which has been adopted in severalAfrican countries, is to get operators to form partnerships with banks. Indeed, rather than fighting mobile money, governments should use it themselves. The best title for the text is ______. A、TheAdvantage of Mobile Money B、The Promotion of Mobile Money C、The History of Mobile Money D、The Impact of Mobile Money |

| 第4题：For hundreds of millions of years, turtles(海龟) have struggled out of the sea to lay their eggs on sandy beaches, long before there were nature documentaries to celebrate them, or GPS satellites and marine biologists to track them, or volunteers to hand-carry the hatchlings (幼龟) down to the water’s edge lest they become disoriented by headlights and crawl towards a motel parking lot insteaD、 A、formidable wall of bureaucracy has been erected to protect their prime nesting sites on theAtlantic coastlines. With all that attention paid to them, you’d think these creatures would at least have the gratitude not to go extinct. But Nature is indifferent to human notions of fairness, and a report by the Fish and Wildlife Service showed a worrisome drop in the populations of several species of NorthAtlantic sea turtles, notably loggerheads(红海龟) , which can grow to as much as 400 pounds. The South Florida nesting population, the largest, has declined by 50% in the last decade, according toElizabeth Griffin, a marine biologist with the environmental group Ocean A、The figures prompted Oceana to petition the government to upgrade the level of protection for the NorthAtlantic loggerheads from "threatened" to "endangered"—meaning they are in danger of disappearing without additional help. Which raises the obvious question: what else do these turtles want from us, anyway It turns out, according to Griffin, that while we have done a good job of protecting the turtles for the weeks they spend on land (as egg-laying females, as eggs and as hatchlings) ,we have neglected the years they spend in the ocean. "The threat is from commercial fishing, " says Griffin. Trawlers ( which drag large nets through the water and along the ocean floor) and long-line fishers (which can deploy thousands of hooks on lines that can stretch for miles) take a heavy toll(损失) on turtles. Of course, like every other environmental issue today, this is playing out against the background of global warming and human interference with natural ecosystems. The narrow strips of beach on which the turtles lay their eggs are being squeezed on one side by development and on the other by the threat of rising sea levels as the oceans warm. Ultimately we must get a handle on those issues as well, or a creature that outlived the dinosaurs (恐龙) will meet its end at the hands of humans, leaving our descendants to wonder how a creature so ugly could have won so much affection. The last sentence of the passage is meant to______. A、persuade human beings to show more affection for turtles B、stress that even the most ugly species should be protected C、call for effective measures to ensure sea turtles’ survival D、warn our descendants about the extinction of species |

Humans are able to (21) , to think in abstract terms, to reflect on the future.A、meaningless, (22) world is an insecure worlD、We do not like extensive insecurity. When it (23) to human behavior we infer meaning and (24) to make the behavior understandable. (25) all this means is that people develop "quasi theories" of human behavior, that is, theories that are not developed in a(an) (26) , scientific manner. When doing so, people believe they know (27) humans do the things they do. Let’s consider an example. In the United States people have been (28) with the increasing amount of crime for several years. The extent of crime bothers us; we ourselves could be victims.But it (29) bothers us that people behave in such ways. Why can such things happen We develop quasi theories. We (30) concerned about the high crime rate, but we now believe we (31) it: our criminal justice system is (32) ; people have grown selfish and inconsiderate as our moral values weaken (33) the influence of liberal ideas; too many people are (34) drugs.
