A Forget-Me-Not Summer is only an accompaniment to one.BOne of the most important things that has happened to me

17、occurred long before I was aware of it. As the story goes, I was three days old and Mom was singing “The Name Game” song to me: “Christine Bo-Bean-Banana-Fanna-Fo-Feen.” By day four, I was given a new name - Christine-Bo-Bean, or just Bo-Bee to my mother. Now, I am Bo to her and close friends.Why is

18、 this nickname（昵称）so important to me? I once read a book with a passage about True Names which explains that when a persons true name is spoken, she has a distinct aura（光环）around her. Although I have been Bo to my mother all my life, I recently discovered that my true name is not on my birth certifi

19、cate; its the name that is as unique and memorable as I am.People usually know me as Christine. They still see me as a quiet, bookish child. They dont know who I am now. My most recent hopes, fears, goals, dreams and opinions escape their notice; it is easier to think of me as I was. In their minds,

20、 they have a box labeled “Christine” in which I fit neatly, and as Christine, I was content with the perfect packaging.Those who call me Bo or Bo-Bee really know me. They remember who I was and realize I have changed. Bo is a tight squeeze in the old “Christine” boxes. The Bo I am is ever-changing,

21、ever-growing and ever-learning.When I was Christine, I was quiet, and easily scared. I feared groups, meeting new people and sharing my opinions. I was more comfortable with a book than my best friend. As Christine, I thought everyone was better than I was.As Bo, I still love my books, but I want to

22、 discuss them. As Bo, my dream is to live where I can experience new things and meet new people. I dream about being alone on a stage lit by a single spotlight; I have that confidence now. I am equal to those I once saw as better than me.A name shouldnt make such a difference, but sometimes, when a

23、person finds his or her True Name, they develop a new shine visible to friends, family and especially themselves.I cant always be Bo. Sometimes exposing myself is still scary and I feel too nervous; I want to hide in those old boxes. Mostly, however, I am ready for the world. So, just call me Bo.24.

24、 When was the author given a nickname?A. When her Mom sang the song. B. On the fourth day after she was born.C. Seven days after she was born. D. When she received the old “Christine” box.25. What does the underlined sentence imply do the people know about the author as Christine?A. The author has t

25、o live in the old boxes.B. The old boxes are not not fit for the author any longer.C. They dont know the author has changed her name.D. People usually know the author as Christine but she has changed.26. What kind of person was the author in the past?A. She lacked confidence and preferred to be alon

26、e.B. She took pleasure in finding new things.C. She loved reading and sharing books with friends.D. She showed no interest in reading.27. What can be a suitable title for the text?A. A Unique Name B. My True NameC. Learning from Names D. Meaning of NicknamesCMany businesses offer membership cards to

27、 clients(客户), promising that they will enjoy discounts, and the more they use the cards, the bigger the discounts will be. This is a common practice to attract and keep regular customers. By providing quality products or services at reasonable prices, businesses can indeed achieve this goal.However,

28、 in recent years, consumers trying to book flights or hotels on certain websites have discovered that prices were actually higher for frequent users than for newcomers. They found that they could pay less by opening up a new account rather than using an old one. Unfortunately, these businesses are u

29、sing information gathered through big data on clients preferences and purchasing habits to take advantage of them, which amounts to targeted price discrimination(歧视).There have been numerous cases of overcharging based on big data on various shopping platforms in recent years. However, since its dif

30、ficult to collect sufficient evidence to accuse these businesses, only a small number of consumers have chosen to take them on. Thus, big data, which is supposed to benefit the public, is helping some businesses cheat consumers. Big data itself is not a bad thing, since it is playing an increasingly

31、 important role in social life and economic growth. It can serve as a basic resource and tool. But since it is being used to overcharge frequent clients, the public has expressed anger. Its a short-sighted behavior that will eventually drive away customers. Instead, big data should be used to improv

32、e businesses services and products by strengthening supervision （监督）and punishment so that this new technology can play its due role in Internet commerce.Its urgent to stop the misuse of big data by stepping up supervision. Market and network supervisory authorities need to join hands in this effort

33、. The illegal use of big data should be severely punished. Advanced technology should be more widely used to supervise big data use.Its all right for businesses to employ certain methods to make big money, but to charge regular clients more than newcomers by taking advantage of information collected

34、 through big data analysis is violating regular clients rights as well as their trust in these businesses. The Law on the Protection of Consumer Rights and Interests clearly states that consumers have the right to know the truth about the commodities and services they buy. Thus, to overcharge regula

35、r clients is not only betraying the principle of fairness and sincerity, but also relevant laws. In the long run, its the businesses that will suffer most.28. What do businesses promise by offering membership cards?A.To provide quality products. B. to collect information.C. To overcharge clients D.

72、swillarise.文章大意Austin在一场意外中不幸失去双臂,而后他几乎完全依赖自己弟弟的照顾,因此他们形影不离,最终弟弟选择去过自己的生活,因此Austin十分难过，陷入深深的彷徨中。而女孩Ella也因意外失去了双臂,但是她选择自己积极地面对这个不幸。写作指导Paragraph1的开头是一天，男孩和女孩两人被邀请参加一档电视访谈节目,再结合第二段的开头可知,第一段应该描述这两位年轻人与现场观众分享自己的故事,在主持人问到相同问题时的不同答复,以展现他们对生活苦难的不同态度。写作时可用关鍵词:arms,toes,future,wings等。Paragraph2的开头是他们都有过同样的痛苦经历,但是他们不同的态度决定他们不同的人生特点,显然接下来的内容应该是对应文章第一一段,总结升华主题,阐述面对生活苦难时,不同的人生态度会导致不同的人生。写作时可用关鍵词attitudes,misfortune,strong,independent等。
