科目:高中英語 來源:2012-2013學(xué)年湖北省武漢市武昌區(qū)高三上學(xué)期期末調(diào)研測試英語試卷(解析版) 題型:閱讀理解

It is "one of the few bright spots in the Chinese economy," says Zeng Ming. He is talking about e-commerce. Mr Zeng, the chief strategy officer for Alibaba, a giant Chinese Internet firm, predicts that digital transactions on his firm's platforms will top l trillion yuan ($159 billion) this year-more than Amazon's and eBay's combined. That is a bold claim, but consider what happened on Singles Sunday.

Invented a few years ago by students and seized upon by digital marketers, this festival for lonely hearts falls annually on the  llth day of the llth month (since l is the loneliest number).It is like St Valentine's Day, only worse. Singletons shower each other with tender gifts: a barrage of pearls; a storm of sweets.

This November llth they spent a surprising 19 billion yuan on Alibaba's online platforms-a fourfold increase on a year ago, and more than double what Americans spent online last Cyber Monday (the Monday after Thanksgiving, when retailers urge Americans to shop online). About 100m purchases were logged, accounting for 80% of the packages shipped that day. Couriers(怏遞員) were buried in parcels.

So life is good for China's e-tailers, then? Not exactly. The number of digital marketers is increasing and online sales are booming. Consumers are enjoying lower prices, better service and more variety. The problem? The pressure on profits in Chinese e-commerce is worse than in America, reckons Elinor Leung of CLSA, a broker. "Almost no one makes money," she says.

The fiercest battles are being fought between online retailers and their bricks-and-mortar(實體的) rivals.Dangdang, a firm. that resembles Amazon,.a(chǎn)nd 360buy, another online retailer, have cut prices fiercely. Tencent, a cash-rich online giant known for its instant-messaging software, is splashing out to win market share. 360buy has also just raised $400m from investors to do the same. But it is unclear how much longer such firms can burn through capital.

科目:高中英語 來源: 題型:閱讀理解

  Predicting when an earthquake or volcanic eruption will take place is extremely difficult, even with the advanced technological equipment available to modern scientists. There are some people, however, who believe they can sense when a major geological(地質(zhì)學(xué)上的) event is coming. They claim to be "earthquake sensitive".

 Sensitivity to the earth's movements, according to those who say they have it, is revealed in different ways. Some say they are unusually clumsy and keep dropping things and having small accidents just before a big event. Others suddenly have a strong desire to eat popcorn, and don' t know why. Though it may sound crazy, they say it tells them that a big earthquake is less than 24 hours away.

 The most common sign of an approaching disaster among earthquake sensitive people is said to be a bad headache. Arguably the first person to connect her own headaches to coming geological events was an American woman called Charlotte, King. She became famous for her prediction of the eruption of Washington's Mr. St. Helens on May 18, 1980, when she was accurate to within 12 minutes of the actual event.

    King was tested by doctors and scientists and found to possess unusual hearing abilities. She could hear sounds in frequencies that most human beings cannot, and claimed to have been hearing such sounds since 1976. Three years later, she noticed that when the sounds changed in pitch or rhythm, giving her unpleasant headaches, a large earthquake would be reported within 72 hours.

66. It is stated in the first paragraph that there may be ________.

    A. people who are able to detect earthquake activity

    B. people who are developing new methods of preventing earthquakes

    C. new machines to help earthquake sensitive people make predictions

    D. new machines that will soon be able to accurately predict earthquakes

67. Which of the following is the best title for this passage?

    A. Charlotte King                    B. A magical ability

    C. Human vs Machine                  D. Earthquake and volcanic eruption

68. Which of the following is NOT mentioned as a sign of an approaching earthquake?

    A. A very loud noise.                  B. A painful headache.

    C. An urge to eat popcorn.             D. A tendency to drop things.

69. Charlotte King became well known because she ________.

    A. timed an earthquake to within 12 minutes

    B. correctly predicted a big volcanic eruption

    C. can make sounds other people cannot hear

    D. is smarter than many doctors and scientists

70. What enables Charlotte King to predict a geological event?

    A. The headache.                       B. The frequency of a sound.

C. Her special hearing ability.             D. The pitch or rhythm of a sound.
