A
European architecture in Tianjin is a window showing China’s historical changes. In a
one-day tour, you can see some old western-style private residences, former Imperial Gardens and
enjoy Tianjin snacks, like a time traveler.
The Garden of Jingyuan
The Garden of Jingyuan was constructed in 1921. It’s now an excellent example of an old
private residence in Tianjin, which is now well-preserved. The last emperor of the Qing Dynasty,
Puyi, once lived here after his abdication(退位), from July 1929 to November 1931. He changed
the name to Jingyuan, which references his desire to strengthen and ennoble his spirit by living in
a peaceful environment.
Address: 70 Anshan Road, Heping District
Transport: Anshan Road (Subway Line 1)
Tickets & Opening Hours: Closed Monday; Tuesday to Sunday, 8:30-5:00p.m. RMB ¥20 per
person
Zhangyuan Garden
This grand mansion was built in 1915 by Zhang Biao, a former high-ranking official in the
Qing Court. In 1924, Dr. Sun Yat-sen and his wife Soong Ching Ling stayed in it for several
months. In 1925, Puyi, the last emperor of China, had a brief stay here after his abdication from
Beijing. It is certainly a strange coincidence that the founder of the Republic of China and the last
emperor chose exactly the same place to live, though at different times.
The mansion is visible from the street, but the buildings and gardens are not open to the
public at present.
Italianate Street
Nearly 200 European-style buildings have been conserved in the old Italian Concession(租借
地)and form the modern ―Italian-style Street‖ on the north bank of the Haihe River. The street has
been developed as a shopping center and entertainment district. A square named after Marco Polo
is surrounded by numerous Italianate large buildings. Pictures of their former residences will be a
highlight of your photo albums.
Address: The Cross Between Shengli Road and Ziyou Road, Hebei District
Transport: Jianguo Road (Subway Line 2)
Tickets & Opening Hours: Access all day for nothing
If you want to feel old-people’s lives and taste snacks in Tianjin, you can tour to Confucian 5
Temple near the Ancient Culture Street . Most snacks in Tianjin are made of flour. Some are deep
fried or baked while some are made into sticky sweets. Goubuli steamed stuffed baozi, ear-hole
fried cake and Guifaxiang fried dough twists are the top three local snacks.
21. What can we know from Puyi’s renaming the place to Jingyuan?
A. He wanted to feel old-people’s lives and taste snacks.
B. He desired to strengthen and ennoble his imperial palace.

I grew up in Hastings, a small coastal town in East Sussex, famous for 1066 years of history
and seaside charm. I have a memory as a boy, saving my pocket money by placing it in a special
drawer, the golden pound coins collecting into a neat pile. When I was 14 in 2007, I saved up
money for a gap year, by working at a bingo hall, and I put the money into a savings account. I
remember getting £70 ($91) interest rates one year, which made me feel very rich indeed.
Skip forward to 2018 and I was living and working in Beijing, China, as a journalist. All
around me Beijing residents were paying for everything using just their smart phones. They would
walk up to a counter of a restaurant, shop, or convenience store, and offer up a QR code(二维码)
for the cashier to scan. Once scanned, the online system would immediately deduct(扣除) the
exact amount owed from the payer’s e-wallet. No reaching for cash and waiting for change. The
transaction would take seconds.
But I was a stubborn holdout. My friends, both Western and Chinese, would make fun of me
for being so traditional – for sticking to ―dirty cash‖. But there were a couple of reasons why I
kept using physical money and avoided getting into e-payments and e-wallets. Firstly, it felt safer.
I wasn’t really aware of how electronic money would work on my smart phone and I feared it
would somehow get easily taken away. Secondly, I feared that by moving to e-payments, I would 6
end up spending more. I would lose all sense of how much, day by day, I would be spending.
Were these fears justified? As more and more people across the world escape cash, these are
essential issues for me to consider.
24. Which of the following made the writer feel very rich?
A. Saving £70 ($91) by placing it in a special drawer.
B. Collecting £70 ($91) coins into a neat pile.
C. Putting £70 ($91) into a savings account in bank.
D. Getting £70 ($91) interest rates from a bank.
25. Which’s not the advantage of e-payments?
A. No reaching for cash. B. No waiting for change.
C. Taking only few seconds. D. Spending more money.
26. Why didn’t the writer like to accept the e- payments at first?
A. Because he was too traditional to save money.
B. Because he liked the sense of paying in cash.
C. Because he thought e-payments would deduct more.
D. Because he knew how e-payments work on smartphones.
27. What can we infer about the writer from the last paragraph？
A. He accepted the idea that money is abstract.
B. He eventually turned to using e-payments.
C. He thought the pain of e-payment is delayed.
D. He insisted that having physical cash is safer.
C
Classified advertising is that advertising which is grouped in certain sections of the paper
and is thus distinguished from display advertising. Such groupings as ―Help Wanted‖, ―Real
Estate‖(不动产), ―Lost and Found‖ are made, the rate charged being less than for display
advertising. Classified advertisements are a convenience to the reader and a saving to the
advertiser.
The reader who is interested in a particular kind of advertisement finds all advertisements
of that type grouped for him. The advertisers may, therefore, use a very small advertisement if it
was placed among larger advertisements in the paper. It is evident that the reader approaches the
classified advertisement in a different frame of mind from that in which he approaches the other
advertisements in the paper. He turns to a page of classified advertisements to search for the 7
particular advertisement that will meet his needs.
As his attention is voluntary, the advertiser does not need to rely too much extent on
display type to get the reader’s attention. Formerly all classified advertisements were of the same
size and did not have display type. With the increase in the number of such advertisements,
however, each advertiser within a certain group is competing with others in the same group for the
reader’s attention. In many cases, the result has been an increase in the size of the space used and
the addition of headlines and pictures. In that way, the classified advertisement has in reality
advertisement. This is particularly true of real estate advertising?
28. The following facts are advantages of classified advertising EXCEPT ____.
A. It helps to reduce the advertising cost.
B. It attracts the target readers’ attention easily.
C. It provides more information for the readers.
D. It doesn’t have to rely too much on display type.
29.Which is the example given of types of classified advertisement?
A. Houses for sale. B. People who are asking for help.
C. Job hunting. D. People who are lost.
30. What do readers usually do when they look through classified advertisements?
A. They are in a new frame of mind to buy anything.
B. They look for something they need.
C. They feel lost in so many classified advertisements.
D. They maintain the same emotions as reading display advertisements.
31. According to the text, in which way have the classified advertisements changed nowadays?
A. They are charged for no money.
B. They are divided into more groups.
C. They are less formal than ever.
D. They depend more on display type.
D
The beginning of baseball in China traces back further than most would think, in 1863. From
that time, Chinese universities soon began to stage baseball activities. The first game, as
documents recorded, was held in Shanghai in 1905. National interest in this traditionally American
sport picked up quickly, and in 1915, China placed second in the Greater Asia baseball tournament
held in Shanghai. Several decades later, baseball was as popular as it would ever be. In 1959, 8
teams from 30 regions came together in a national competition.
Founded in 2002, the China Baseball League (CBL) is China’s professional league for the
sport, with seven teams around the country. The opportunity to capture a huge new market with
China’s growing interest saw the US Major League Baseball (MLB) open its first China office in
Beijing in 2007, which has since then developed the Chinese market and educated young athletes.
An example is the youth baseball program Play Ball! in major Chinese cities. In the same year, the
CBL partnered with Japan’s Nippon Professional Baseball (NPB), agreeing to allow Japanese
clubs to send coaches and players to China and Chinese players to train at Japanese facilities. This
program helps Chinese schools integrate baseball into their physical education curriculum, build
professional development centers. More and more Chinese youths are getting involved with the
sport, taking baseball class on the weekends or after school. Many programs for children have
been established and often hold classes at many baseball fields.
Through these different partnerships and co-operations, China has created opportunities for
the citizens to experience another culture. China might just be the future of baseball. Through
heavy investments since 2017, the CBL hopes to one day cultivate a Yao Ming of baseball, which
would bring huge exposure to the sport.
32. What’s the main idea of paragraph 1?
A. The beginning of baseball in China.
B. The development of baseball in China.
C. The national competition of baseball in China.
D. The interest in this traditionally American sport.
33. How does the writer develop this text?
A. By the time order.
B. By the cities adding.
C. By China’s interest growing.
D. By partner countries increasing.
34. Which of the following can replace the underlined word ―capture‖ in paragraph 2?
A. lose. B. found. C. seize. D. control.
35. What can we predict from paragraph3?
A. Baseball remains a mystery to most of Chinese people.
B. The interest in developing baseball is limited in China.
C. Chinese schools will have baseball education curriculum.
D. More baseball talents and fans will spring up in China. 9

Particulate Matter
There are things floating around in the air. Most of them, you cannot even see. They are a
kind of air pollution called particles or particulate matter. In fact, particulate matter may be the air
pollutant that most commonly affects people’s health.
Have a Look.
Particles can come in almost any shape or size, and can be solid particles or liquid droplets.
36 These two groups differ in many ways. One of the differences is size, we call the bigger
particles PM 10 and we call the smaller particles PM 2.5.
BIG.
The big particles are between 2.5 and 10 micrometers (from about 25 to 100 times thinner
than a human hair). These particles are called PM 10 (we say ―PM ten‖, which stands for
Particulate Matter up to 10 micrometers in size). 37
SMALL.
The small particles are smaller than 2.5 micrometers (100 times thinner than a human hair).
38 We say ―PM two point five‖, as in Particulate Matter up to 2.5 micrometers in size.The
smaller particles are lighter and they stay in the air longer and travel farther. PM 10 particles can
stay in the air for minutes or hours while PM 2.5 particles can stay in the air for days or weeks.
And travel? 39 PM 2.5 particles go even farther; many hundreds of miles.
Particulate Matter and Your Health.
When you breathe, you take in the air along with any particles in the air, like heavy metals
and cancer causing organic compounds. Both PM 10 and PM 2.5 particles can cause health
problems, specifically respiratory (呼吸的) health. 40 Exposure to particulate matter
leads to increased use of medication and more visits to the doctor or emergency room.
A. These particles are called PM 2.5.
B. We divide particles into two major groups.
C. These particles cause less severe health effects.
D. PM 10 particles can travel as much as 30 miles.
E. Air pollution is a growing problem in the whole world.
F. PM 2.5 can have worse health effects than the bigger PM 10.
G. Air pollutants have great effects on our environment and our health. 10
