Home prices remained divergent in China during December, with some of the first-tier cities recording price drops, while second and third-tier cities saw increases due to the varied market policies, the National Bureau of Statistics said on Thursday.
Newly built commercial housing prices in the first-tier cities－namely Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou and Shenzhen－remained stable in December, while those in second and third- tier cities rose by 0.6 percent and 0.5 percent respectively from November 2017.
The same trend was witnessed in second-hand home prices, which dropped slightly by 0.1 percent in first-tier cities and rose 0.3 percent in both second and third-tier cities in December, said Liu Jianwei, a senior statistician at the NBS.
In September 2017, the local governments of several regional capitals launched new restrictions to further slow home sales, in response to the central government’s call to end housing speculation and cool the red-hot housing market in certain cities.
As housing regulations in larger cities have tightened, investors have started looking for opportunities in medium-sized and small cities, thus causing a noticeable home price increase in third-tier cities.
Fan Hengshan, deputy secretary-general of the National Development and Reform Commission, said at an economic forum on Thursday that housing prices in third and fourth-tier cities have risen too fast, and this needs to be monitored carefully.
“The home price increase in third-tier cities will have a fairly large impact, considering that a large part of China’s gross domestic product and population come from these cities,” said Zhang Zhiwei, chief economist and head of equity strategy for China at Deutsche Bank, during a recent media briefing.
Zhang estimated that third-tier cities accounted for a major part of Chinese residents’ 50 trillion yuan wealth gains, driven by rising home prices in 2017.
“Despite a relatively large increase in home prices in third-tier cities, studies have found that at the end of 2017, local residents in 85 third-tier cities need to save four to eight years of their income to buy a home, meaning that house price to income ratios are not too high in these cities,” he said.
24. What does the underlined word “divergent” in the first paragraph mean?
A. Diverse B.Stable C. Increasing D. Decreasing
25. What do we know from the passage?
A. Housing prices in the first-tier cities dropped slightly in December.
B. Home prices in medium-sized and small cities remained stable in November.
C. National housing prices rose in most time of 2017.
D. The second-hand home prices dropped slightly in the first-tier cities while rose in both second and third-tier cities in November.
26. Why did the housing prices in the third and fourth-tier cities rise fast ?
A. Because the local governments didn’t launch any restrictions and regulations.
B. Because the governments in the first-tier cities have carried out tougher measures.
A. Because there are more people living in these cities.
B. Because people there saved more money than other cities.
24. Where is the passage probably taken from?
A. A science book. B. A newspaper. C. A fashion magazine. D. A text book.
C
Grown-ups are often surprised by how well they remember something they learned as children but have never practiced ever since. A man who has not had a chance to go swimming for years can still swim as well as ever when he gets back in the water. He can get on a bicycle after many years and still ride away. He can play catch and hit a ball as well as his son. A mother who has not thought about the words for years can teach her daughter the poem that begins "Twinkle, twinkle, little star" or remember the story of Cinderella or Goldilocks and the Three Bears.
One explanation is the law of overlearning, which can be stated as follows: Once we have learned something, additional learning trials(尝试)increase the length of time we will remember it.
In childhood we usually continue to practice such skills as swimming, bicycle riding, and playing baseball long after we have learned them. We continue to listen to and remind ourselves of words such as "Twinkle, twinkle, little star" and childhood tales such as Cinderella and Goldilocks. We not only learn but overlearn.
The multiplication tables(乘法口诀表)are an exception to the general rule that we forget rather quickly the things that we learn in school, because they are another of the things we overlearn in childhood.
The law of overlearning explains why cramming(突击学习)for an examination, though it may result in a passing grade, is not a satisfactory way to learn a college course. By cramming, a student may learn the subject well enough to get by on the examination, but he is likely soon to forget almost everything he learned. A little overlearning, on the other hand, is really necessary for one's future development.
28. What is the main idea of paragraph 1?
A. People remember well what they learned in childhood.
B. Children have a better memory than grown-ups.
C. Poem reading is a good way to learn words.
D. Stories for children are easy to remember.
29. The author explains the law of overlearning by _______.
A. presenting research findings B. selling down general rules
C. making a comparison D. using examples
30. According to the author, being able to use multiplication tables is _______.
A. a result of overlearning B. a special case of cramming
C. a skill to deal with math problems D. a basic step towards advanced studies
31. What is the author's opinion on cramming?
A. It leads to failure in college exams. B. It's helpful only in a limited way.
C. It's possible to result in poor memory. D. It increases students' learning interest.
D
Traffic problems are an everyday concern in many cities，including Washington，DC．A growing number of Washingtonians are turning to bicycles to get to and from work．In fact，the
number of commuters who use bicycles has doubled in the city since 2007．
Ralph Buehler teaches urban planning at the Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University，popularly known as Virginia Tech．He has written a book about urban biking, called City Cycling．He says there is a reason why urban bike tiding is now becoming more popular．
“Over the last 60 to 70 years，cities in America have adapted to the automobile．”
“Most cities took advantage of the money coming for the interstate highway system，from the federal government, starting in 1956. There was a 90 percent federal match(补贴)so the cities only had to put up 10％．It was very tempting．”
In the years after World War Two，many Americans moved to suburban communities，just outside major cities．They decided to travel great distances to and from work in exchange for a home in the suburbs．Their cars became a symbol of freedom．
But today，many people believe they can save money by living in the city．
Greg Billing is with the Washington Area Bicyclist Association．“When a person makes a change from using a car to using a bike，he／she is saving anywhere between 8 or $9，000 a year．”
Ralph Buehler says governments save money when people use bicycles．“Building bicycling facilities is much cheaper than building and maintaining road facilities or public transport．”
Washington，DC has also taken steps to protect bike riders．It approved a safe passing law and created areas on the road between cars and bikes．
The United States Census Bureau says 4％of the city’s workers ride to work by bike．The only city on the East Coast with more bike commuters is New York．
32. What does the writer mainly talk about in this passage?
A. More people in Washington, DC go to work by bike
B. Bikes lead to new problems in Washington, DC
C. Washington, DC has taken steps to protect bike riders
D. People in Washington, DC prefers cars to bicycles

D. Urban biking has been popular in the last 60 to 70 years．
34. In the years after World War Two，many Americans prefer to____．
A. go to and from work by bike B. 1ive out of the major cities

35．What do Ralph Buehler and Greg Billing agree with?

Food pictures that you display on Instagram can look more stylish if you follow these tips. 36
●Post them with a story.
_37 Whether it’s your first meal at a Chinese restaurant or a birthday party at a cozy cafeteria, describe the surroundings as well as the reason why you choose the food in the picture.

●Choose your angle.
Choose the right angle. One of the best positions is shooting from the top down. This is how you’ll show the whole table. You might sometimes need to climb on a chair to take that perfect shot! 39 You may try to hold your food in front of you. Vertical(垂直的) pictures are also worth your attention.

Dear Peter,
Thanks for your email. Yes, I’m facing one of the most important choices in my life. After lots of thinking and consulting, I’ve finally decided to go to Xiamen University. Located in the coastal city of Xiamen in the south east, it is quite a famous university in China. I am tired of the dry plain here, especially the smog! I can’t wait to breathe the fresh air and see the green trees and beautiful flowers! Besides, Xiamen University is just right for me: I believe I can do well enough in the college entrance exam to be admitted.
To make my dream come true, I’ll have to continue working hard in the next few months.
Yours,
Li Hua

24这是一篇新闻。本文介绍了2017年中国房价的情形及其对居民生活的影响。
24A 考查词义猜测 根据第一段可知，2017年12月中国一线城市房价下降，而二三线城市房价上升。 由此推测，divergent指“不同的”，故选A。
25C 考查推理判断 根据第四段中的In September 2017…cool the red-hot housing market in certain cities可知，截止到2017年9月政府仍在出台相关政策给火爆的房产市场降温。故2017年多数时间房价处于上升趋势。
26B 考查细节理解 根据第五、六段可知大城市的住房调控加强，投资者们转向中小型城市，从而导致中小型城市的房价上涨。
27B 考查推理判断 通读全文可知，文章主要介绍了2017年中国房价的情形以及对居民生活的影响。据此可以推断，本文最可能摘自报纸，故B项正确。
