Five years is a rather short time in the long history of China. 1.. Do you still remember the mobile phone you used five years ago? The answer for most people is definitely not. Technology has gone so far that many things which seemed impossible yesterday have now come into reality. And so many benefits have been brought to our life.
2.. Nowadays, it’s normal for people to communicate on WeChat, the most popular mobile social media platform in China. People carry less cash with them because most of the stores and hotels accept WeChat Pay and AliPay. The emergence of sharing vehicles helps reduce time on transportation. More people are using online shopping, which in turn helps the express delivery industry. What’s more, the wide availability of bullet trains helps people’s travel and provides higher-quality services. And people can easily buy train and flight tickets on different apps without having to wait in lines to buy tickets 3..
But has it occurred to you that just five years ago all these things were beyond people’s imagination?4.. Unlike today, when we have access to wide-range of news on mobile devices, there were limited news sources five years ago.5..
A. By the end of 2016, there were 695 million mobile phone users in China, an increase of 12 percent on year-on-year basis.
B. With the constantly improvement of digital technology, a lot of changes have taken place in many aspects of our life.
C. At that time there were no apps to order takeaway food.
D. Thanks to the fast-developing digital world, our life is becoming more convenient so that we can spend more time with our family or on work.
E. You had no enjoyment of higher efficiency from convenient sharing bicycles to cash-free payment.
F. But for digital development, things are totally different.
G. In China, holding a mobile phone means having the world in your hands.
The latest research suggests that the typical middle class in a city now have so many time- saving tools that they can fit into 24 hours the same quantity of tasks that ten years ago would have taken 31 hours to complete.
For many people, the busy time starts over breakfast, reading emails on a hand-held BlackBerry while toasting bread. It carries on in the car where a driver with a Bluetooth earpiece holds a conference call while keeping an ear on the radio and checking the GPS.
Work then includes a lot of emails, phone calls, and meetings, often happening at the same time. However, according to OTX, an American research organization, the busiest period of multitasking appears to be in the evening. “People will be pressing the television remote control while using a computer on their knee, emailing and texting friends on a mobile phone, and holding a conversation with friends or family members.” Said Patrick Moriarty, one of the authors of the report.
According to the study, while television remains the main attention in the evening, nearly half the people were also using computers and phones to catch up with friends, update their social networks, or download and listen to music.
Mark Vickery, 35, from Medway, Kent, concurred. For him and his wife Susan, an NHS (National Health Service) doctor, the evening was the peak of multitasking. “Both of us are out of the house during the day,” said Vickery, a marketing manager. “When we come back in the evening we’re likely to have a lot of technology on the go. Well be using online banking, Facebook, and email, and programming the TV shows we want to watch later.”
“On the one hand it’s good-you get more done. On the other hand, when I left university seven years ago, life was much simpler. There was more talking face-to-face and more time spent over dinner.”

3.What does the underlined word “concurred” in the text mean?

A. It has two sides. B. It makes life simpler.
C. It happens everywhere. D. It causes longer mealtimes.
The scar ran down her leg from the knee to the ankle. She brushed her fingertips over its surface, remembering.
Jerry was only seven when he started surfing; by the age of eleven, he was positively incredible, moving over the face of big waves like there wasn’t even a slightest bit of efforts involved in.
On that day in Bah, though, the ocean had seemed strange. The waves broke like water in a washing machine, and the breaks had been heavy too, making it tough to tell whether it was better to try to catch one or to get out of its way. That was how he’d misjudged.
Ella had seen her brother lose control, his board was thrown out of the water riderless high into the air, but she hadn’t seen him surface. She’d waited for the space of a breath. Nothing. Something, clearly, was wrong.
She dashed into the water, swimming faster even than the competitions at school. Lung burning. Heart Piping-Focused.
She’d found him floating just beyond the reef (暗礁), face up but knocked out cold. Just as she was paddling the water hard, her leg was hurt by the reef, a short, sharp instant of pain.
No matter. She had kept Jerry5s head above water, swimming all the way back to shore. That day had been the worst, scariest moment in Jerry’s surfing career, which has seen him rise from a no-name kid who loved the ocean to a young star, winning competitions around the world.
For Ella, her life had changed as well. She had learned something about who she was, about what she could achieve. She ran her fingers again over the scar, the physical map of the person she had become.
1.Why did Ella think something was wrong?
A. She didn’t see Jerry come out of water.
B. She had not seen Jerry lose control before.
C. She saw Jerry’s board high into the air.
D. She noticed Jerry held his breath longer.
2.What does the underlined part “positively incredible” probably mean?
A. Terribly excited. B. Extremely good.
C. Relatively young. D. Hardly talented.
3.For Ella, the scar represents .
A. her skill at saving lives B. her discovery of self-value
C. her envy of her brother D. her love for swimming career
4.What can be inferred from the text?
A. Ella was as outstanding an athlete as Jerry.
B. Jerry learned how to surf all by himself.
C. Ella was grateful for this terrible experience.
D. Jerry had his leg injured in the surfing accident.
