Online banks are sometimes referred to as "brick-to-click" banks, both to tell them from "brick-to-mortar" banks that haven't yet offered online banking, as well as from "virtual"（虚拟）banks that have no physical branches or tellers whatsoever.The challenge for the banking industry has been to design this new service channel in such a way that its customers will readily learn to use and trust it. Most of the large banks can now offer fully safe , fully functional（功能的）online banking for free or for a small cost. As more banks succeed online and more customers use their sites, fully functional online banking will likely become as commonplace as automated teller machines (ATM).Online banking has a lot of advantages. Unlike your corner bank, online banking sites never close; they're at hand 24 hours a day, seven days a week and they're a mouse click away. If you're out of state or even out of the country when a money problem appears, you can log on instantly to your online bank and take care of business. Online bank sites generally carry out and confirm （确认）deals at or quicker than ATM processing speeds. Many online banking sites now offer fashionable tools to help you manage all of your valuable items more effectively．24．The underline word "eliminate" in paragraph 1 means ．A．remove．B．keep．C．raise．D．improve．25．According to the passage, the challenge for the online banking industry is ．A．To offer online banking for freeB．To make online banking attractiveC．To open new services all over the worldD．To take care of business 24 hours a day26．What can we learn from the passage?A．Customers can deal with their banking by a mouse click．B．"Brick-to-click" banks are in fact another kind of physical banks．C．A "brick-to-mortar" bank is no better than a virtual one．D．T he function of a “brick-to-click” bank is as common as that of an ATM．27．What is the best title for the passage?A．Banking of Various Forms．B．Improvement of Banking Industry．C．Functions of the "Brick-to-Click" Bank．D．Development of Online Banking．CShyness is the cause of much unhappiness for a great many people．Shy people are anxious and self-conscious; that is, they are concerned with their own appearance and actions too much．Negative thoughts are constantly occurring in their minds: What kind of impression am I making? Do they like me? Do I sound stupid? Am I wearing unattractive clothes?It is obvious that such uncomfortable feelings must affect people unfavorably．A person's self-concept is reflected in the way he or she behaves and the way a person behaves affects other people's reactions．In general, the way people think about themselves has a deep effect on all areas of their lives．Shy people, who have low respect, are likely to be passive and easily influenced by others．They need faith that they are doing "the right thing"．Shy people are very sensitive to criticism．It makes them feel inferior（自卑）．They also find it difficult to be pleased by praises because they believe they are unworthy of praise．A shy person may respond to a praise with a statement like this one: "You're just saying that to make me feel good, I know it's not true．”It is clear that, while self-awareness is a healthy quality, overdoing it is harmful．Can shyness be completely got rid of, or at least reduced? Fortunately, people can overcome shyness with determination since shyness goes hand in hand with lack of self respect．It is important for people to accept their weakness as well as their strengths．Each one of us has his or her own characteristics．We are interested in our own personal ways．The better we understand ourselves, the easier it becomes to live up to our chances for a rich and successful life．28．What is the first paragraph mainly about?A．The cause of shynessB．The feelings of shy peopleC．The effect of shyness on peopleD．The questions in the minds of shy people29．According to the passage, what can the writer agree with most?A．Self-awareness is harmful to people．B．Self-awareness is a good characteristic．C．Self-awareness is the cause of unhappiness．D．Self-awareness is a weak point of shy people．30．What is the shy people's reaction to praise?A．They are pleased by it．B．They feel they are worthy of it．C．They are very sensitive to it．D．They feel it is not true．31．According to the passage, shyness can ．A．enable us to understand ourselves betterB．block our chances for a successful lifeC．help us to live up to our full developmentD．have nothing to do with lack of self respectDThe 2016 Olympic women's volleyball tournament wrapped up on Saturday, and China has won the gold medal in a 3-1 victory over Serbia. It's the third time the Chinese women's team has won gold in this event, with victories success in 2004.Serbia actually got off to the better start in the final match. They jumped out to a 12-7 lead in first set and never fully let go of it, eventually cruising to a 25-19 win and a 1-0 advantage. China wasted no time bouncing back, though, taking an 8-4 lead in the second set and eventually running away with a 25-17 victory to even the match at 1-1.The next two sets were much closer, but the Chinese came out on top each time. They grabbed a commanding 19-11 lead in the third set, but they let Serbia creep back into it by narrowing the score down to 22-21. China recovered, though, to take four of the next five points and a 25-22 decision. The fourth set was a seesaw (跷跷板）-- there were 15 ties, and no team took a lead of more than three points at any time. The score eventually knotted at 20, and then again at 21, 22, and 23, before China secured the final two points to win the set and the match.With the victory, Chinese coach "Jenny" Lang Ping became the first person to win Olympic gold as both a coach and a player. Meanwhile, this was the first volleyball medal for Serbia since it began competing as its own independent country in 2008.The bronze medal in the tournament went to the United States , who beat the Netherlands in four sets earlier on Saturday by the score of 25-23 , 25-27 , 25-22 , 25-19. The US , who despite their prominence(显著)on the beach has never won Olympic gold in women's indoor volleyball , reached the bronze medal match after being upset by the Serbians in the semifinals．32．What does the underline phrase "wrapped up" in the Paragraph 1 mean?A．competed．B．completed．C．performed．D．celebrated．33．What happened in this final match?A．China lost the first set．B．China wasted the chance to win in the second set．C．There were 15 ties in the third set．D．Serbia lost the fourth set by the score of 23-25．34．What can we infer from the passage about Lang Ping?A．She has won three Olympic gold medals．B．She became the first person to win Olympic gold as a coach．C．She won an Olympic gold media as a player in 1984．D．She won an Olympic gold media as a coach in 2004．35．Who beat the United States in the semifinals?A．China．B．Italy．C．Netherlands．D．Serbia．第二节（共5小题；每小题2分, 满分10分）根据短文内容, 从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。
