WeChat, the Chinese social media smartphone app, saw an increase in user numbers of 41 percent year on year to 500 million at the end of last year, in a sign that parent company Tencent is extending its reach for the mobile Internet. As one of the largest Internet integrated service providers in China and one of the most Internet users in China, Tencent’s profit grew 24 percent to RMB 20.98 billion per year, slightly higher than forecasts, driven mainly by online gaming profits. It is unclear how much WeChat contributed to Tencent’s profits but the app’s growth is a strong indicator of the company’s long-term health as it tries to adjust its business to be more suitable for mobile devices.

“We extended our leadership in games and online media, and made breakthroughs in emerging platforms such as online security and mobile payments.” Ma Huateng, Tencent chairman, said in a statement. WeChat is the second highest ranked social app in China, behind QQ, Tencent’s another chatting app, which claimed to have 815 million registered monthly users at the end of 2014.

Tencent has been unwilling to earn money through WeChat by flooding it with advertising, which could influence the users’ experience. But this is expected to change. Some analysts anticipated(预期) that advertising would be introduced on a large scale later this year. Early attempts to test ads on the service have not always gone smoothly. After a BMW ad was introduced on some users’ feedbacks in January, many users who were not targeted by the brand’s marketing complained of “discrimination” by Tencent’s data mining algorithm(数据挖掘算法). They claimed it unfairly treated them as not wealthy or successful enough to view the BMW ad.

1. What can we learn from the passage?
A.WeChat is ranked behind QQ in China.
B.Tencent wants to earn more through QQ.
C.WeChat contributed most to Tencent’s profits.
D.More advertising would not be introduced later this year.
2. How did some users feel when a BMW ad was introduced?
A.Uninterested.B.Untouched.
C.Unhappy.D.Unlucky.
3. What’s the best title of this passage?
A.WeChat, a Popular APP in China

文章大意:这是一篇议论文。主要通过讲述美国莫顿高中128名学生因穿错衣服而被送回家一事,告诉我们无论在美国还是在中国,学生违反规则都会受到惩罚,世界上没有完全的自由。

【推荐1】Many Chinese students think American students enjoy more freedom than them at school. But American schools also have their rules. If the students break the rules, they willget punishment, too. On the first day of a new term, 128 students of Morton High School were sent home for wearing the wrong clothes. There are altogether 1200 students in the school. Usually only 20 students break the school dress rule every day. So the headmaster Theresa Mayerik said it was the worst new term she had ever seen.

At Morton High School, students’ favorite clothing such as baggy (宽大的) trousers, low-necked shirts and tanktops (紧身短背心) are not allowed in classrooms. Some students think they have the right to choose what to wear. But the headmaster doesn’t think so. “I’d be supportive if half the school was sent home, because 99% will get the message that our school are for education.” “Freedom” does not mean “free of restrictions (约束)”. That is to say there is no total freedom in the world, no matter in the US or in China.

A.not finishing their homeworkB.being late for school

【推荐2】When we are little we do all kinds of foolish things,sometimes unwillingly and sometimes premeditated(有预谋的). And parents’ next behaviour is to punish us and make sure that we won’t repeat that nonsense(愚蠢的行为)again.

Therefore,at an early age parents punish their children as follows:firstly,they don’t allow children to watch TV for a couple of days;secondly,parents don’t permit their children to go out and play with their friends;thirdly,children are given different tasks to do—they have to write something several times or they have to stay in the corner of the room,until parents decide to“free”them.

Moreover,when in their adolescence(青春期),children can receive other types of punishment. Most parents punish children by not giving them pocket money,which is the best form of punishment for them. Then,they forbid children to go out on weekends or return home after a certain hour. Not to forget the fact that parents also refuse to give them food,which means that children have to prepare meals alone as they have no other choice.

Sometimes,these forms of punishment have positive results and children won’t repeat the bad things they have done. Anyway,if a child is used to doing nonsenses then all his or her parents’ punishments will be of no importance to him or her. He or she will carry out the punishment and after a short period of time will commit another one.

1. Which of the punishments doesn’t belong to an early age child?
A.Don’t be allowed to watch TV for a few days.
B.Can’t be permitted to go out and play with friends.
C.Have to do all kinds of tasks.
D.Have to cook meals by himself or herself.
2. The underlined word“forbid”in Paragraph 3 means“_______”.
A.encourageB.warn
C.worryD.prevent
3. Which is the best form of punishment for a child in adolescence?
A.Can’t get the pocket money.
B.Can’t go out on weekends.
C.Have to return home after a certain hour.
D.Can’t eat the meals prepared by parents.
4. From the last paragraph we can know the writer thinks _______.
A.the parents’ punishment is necessary for the children
B.all the punishments have positive results
C.parents shouldn’t punish their children all the time
D.sometimes the punishment isn’t important for the children

【推荐3】Prolonging human life has increased the size of the human population. Many people alive today would have died of childhood diseases if they had been born 100 years ago. Because more people

live longer, there are more people around than at any other given time. In fact, it is a decrease in death rates instead of an increase in birthrates that has led to the population explosion.

Prolonging human life has also increased the dependency load. In all societies, people who are disabled or too young or too old to work are dependent on the rest of society to provide for them. In hunting and gathering cultures, old people who could not keep up might be left behind to die. In times of food shortage, babies might be allowed to die because they could not survive if their parents starved, whereas if the parents survived they could have another child. In most present societies, people feel a moral obligation to keep people alive whether they can work or not. We have a great many people today who live past the age at which they want to work or are able to work; we also have rules which require people to retire at a certain age. Unless these people were able to save money for their retirement, somebody else must support them. In the United States many retired people live on social security checks which are so little that they must live in near poverty. Older people have more illnesses than young or middle-aged people; unless they have wealth or private or government insurance, they must often “go on welfare” if they have a serious illness.

When older people become too weak and ill to care for themselves, they create serious problems for their families. In the past and in some traditional cultures, they would be cared for at home until they died. Today, with most members of a household working or in school, there is often no one at home who can care for a sick or weak person. To meet this need, a great many nursing homes and convalescent hospitals have been built. These are often profit-making organizations, although some are sponsored by religious and other nonprofit groups. While a few of these institutions are good, most of them are simply “dumping grounds” for the dying in which “care” is given by poorly-paid, overworked, and under-skilled personnel.

1. The author believes that the population explosion results from______.
A.an increase in birthrates
B.a decrease in death rates
C.the industrial development
D.human beings’ cultural advances
2. It can be inferred from the passage that in hunting and gathering cultures ______.
A.it was a moral responsibility for the families to keep alive the aged people who could not work
B.old people were given the task of passing on the cultural wisdom of the tribe to new generations
C.the survival of babies was less important than that of their parents in times of starvation
D.death was celebrated as a time of rejoicing for an individual freed of the hardships of life
3. According to the passage, which of the following statements about the old people in the United States is True?
A.When they reach a certain age, they retire and benefit from retirement.
B.A minority of them remain in a state of near poverty after their retirement.
C.With the rising prices, they must suffer more from unbearable burdens than ever.
D.Many of them live on social security money which is hardly enough.
4. Which of the following best describes the author’s attitude toward most of the nursing homes and convalescent hospitals?
