8、ng was more than 10,000 yuan in debt to a smart phone app. The 23-year-old Shanghai citizen pays for his online purchases of food, clothes, and travel with Huabei, a virtual credit card thats part of Alibaba Group Holding Ltd.s spreading stable of e-commerce. His spending often used to go beyond his
9、 only source of income: the 8,000-yuan monthly allowance from his parents. He tried to repay the debt in installments(分期), even borrowing from Jiebei, another Alibaba-owned credit service, but eventually his mother and father had to help him out.Zengs story is typical of members of China Generation
10、Z. These young consumers, born from the mid-1990s to the early 2000s, have little income and therefore actually no credit history. Yet they have easy access to credit from a variety of banks, financial-tech companies, and peer-to-peer (P2P) Lenders(网络借贷平台), plus other channels that are unregulated.
11、The spending habits of the young in particular are causing concern. In some cases the younger generation is being tempted to overconsume via credit secured through technology. Unsecured consumer lending has expanded 20% a year in China since 2008. The amount of consumer finance available through the
12、 Internet will more than double, to 19 trillion yuan, by 2021, from 7.8 trillion yuan last year. Official data showed that almost 70% of Chinas 50 million P2P borrowers were younger than 40.As for Zeng, hes trying to be a little more frugal, even though he is now trying to earn a little by himself.
13、“I deliberately set the credit limit at a lower level,” he says, “so that hopefully I can better match my income with spending.”Regulators(监管部门)last year launched a breakdown on peer-to-peer lending, which, besides being a source of easy credit, had also become a popular investment vehicle. The sect

17、sical instrument, you may well know that the hardest part is getting started. Once you have learned the skills, they return fairly easily, even if they are not used for long periods of time. Most experts put this down to muscle memory, which means the brain remembers the action and can remember it w
18、hen needed. There is another thing that may be as important in recalling formerly learned sport skills-the mistakes made while learning the task.The study led by Reza Shadmehr included asking volunteers to play a simple video game: hitting a red target dot （目标点） with a slightly smaller blue dot, sim
19、ilar to playing virtual darts （虚拟飞镖）. What the gamers did not know was that as soon as they mastered the game, the researchers moved the blue dot slightly off-course, so forcing them to restart the learning process. Though the volunteers did make mistakes every time the game was changed, they got fa
20、ster at mastering it.Reza believes that this has to do with the fact that in addition to performing the task to muscle memory, the brain is also correcting each wrong move and learning how to correct it. He compares it to having a coach that points out the mistakes and makes suggestions on how to im
21、prove.What surprised the scientists is that making mistakes not only trains the brain to do better at a certain task, but also helps it learn faster from mistakes, even when the mistakes are made while learning an entirely different task. The brain keeps a general record of mistakes and draws on the
22、m whenever a new sport skill is being learned, to make sure that mistakes are not made again. This helps make leaning much faster and probably explains why people, who master one sport or musical instrument, are able to pick up others more easily.Making mistakes is a good thing. So the next time you

The second paragraph is mainly about _.A. how Reza carried out the experimentB. when the gamers learned a game wellC. what games the volunteers were interested

26、uscle memory shows past experienceDA young Dutch inventor is widening his effort to clean up floating(浮动的) plastic from the Pacific Ocean. He has developed a floating device(设备) to trap plastic waste moving into rivers before it reaches the oceans.Boyan Slat was just 18 years old when he invented a
27、system for catching waste in the ocean. He also founded an environmental group called “The Ocean Cleanup”. Its purpose is to develop the system. Last year, Slat showed the next step: a floating device called Interceptor. It removes plastic out of rivers. The device is powered by energy from the sun.
28、 “The 1,000 rivers are responsible for about 80% of plastic going into the worlds oceans,” said Slat. Three of the machines have already been used. Each machine costs about $ 775,660, but the cost might drop as production increases.Since they were used, the machines have been doing very well, collec
29、ting the plastic bottles and all the rubbish in the rivers. According to Slat, it is necessary to close “the tap”, which means preventing more plastic from reaching the ocean in the first place. He wanted to clean them all in the next five years. “This is not going to be easy, but if we do get this
30、done, we could truly make our oceans again,” said Slat.The device is designed to be safe in rivers. Its nose is shaped to change directions to keep it away from larger floating things. It works by guiding plastic waste into an opening in the front of the device. The waste is then carried inside the
31、machine where it is dropped into containers. The device sends a text message to local operators that can come and empty it when it is full.12. What do we know about Interceptor?A. It is being under test. B. It can help sort waste.C. It needs solar power to work. D. It is mainly used in the oceans.13
32、. What does “the tap” refer to in paragraph 3?A. The rivers. B. The machines. C. The oceans. D. The waste.14. Whats the function of the devices nose?A. To empty the waste. B. To serve as containers.C. To ensure the devices safety. D. To send operators text messages.15. Where is the text most likely
33、from?A. A journal. B. A magazine. C. A novel. D. A guidebook.第二节(共5个小题; 每小题2分, 满分10分)根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。Rejection doesnt have to be about the big stuff like not getting into your top college.

37、rson didnt want to go with me.” Dont tell yourself: “I got turned down because Im not attractive” or “Im such a loser.” _ 18_. Next time, if put-down thoughts start creeping into your mind, shut them down._19_A rejection is chance to consider if there are things we can work on. Its OK to think about
38、 whether theres room for improvement or if your goals were higher than your skills. _20_.
