operation and he required13units(3.4gallons) of blood afterwards.The blood donations saved his life,and he decided that once he turned18,he would begin donating blood as regularly as he could.More than60years and almost1,200donations later,Harrison,whose blood contains an antibody (抗体)that has saved the lives of2.4million babies from miscarriages(流产),retired as a blood donor on May11.Harrison’s blood is valuable because he naturally produces Rh-negative blood,which contains Rh-positive antibodies.His blood has been used to create anti-D in Australia since1967.“Every bottle of Anti-D ever made in Australia has James in it,”Robyn Barlow,the Rh program director told the Sydney Morning Herald.“It’s an amazing thing.He has saved millions of babies.I cry just thinking about it.”Since then,Harrison has donated between500and800milliliters of blood almost every week.He’s made1,162donations from his right arm and10from his left.“I’d keep going if they let me,”Harrison told the Herald.His doctors said it was time to stop the donations—and they certainly don’t take them lightly.They had already extended the age limit for blood donations for him,and they’re cutting him off now to protect his health.He made his final donation surrounded by some of the mothers and babies who his blood helped save.Harrison’s retirement is a blow to the Rh treatment program in Australia.Only160donors support the program,and finding new donors has proven to be difficult.But Harrison’s retirement from giving blood doesn’t mean he’s completely out of the game.Scientists are collecting and cataloging his DNA to create a library of antibodies and white blood cells that could be the future of the anti-D program in Australia.4.What do we know about James Harrison?A.He saved2.4million poor people.B.He is to retire as a blood donor.C.He is a very grateful blood donor.D.He donates blood nearly every day.5.What is the author’s purpose of writing Paragraph4?A.To state Harrison’s decision to continue donating blood.B.To describe how Harrison’s donations come to an end.C.To introduce some babies saved by Harrison’s blood.D.To praise Harrison for his cooperation with the doctors.6.What can we infer from the passage about Harrison?A.After his retirement,the Rh program will fail.B.New donors are easy to find in a short time.C.He continues to contribute to the Rh program.D.His DNA is kept in a library for future study.7.Which of the following can be the best title for the text?A.A Unique Man with a Rare Blood TypeB.The Blood Saving Millions of BabiesC.A Special Blood Type Donor to RetireD.The Man with the Golden ArmCIt is becoming a growing trend that more and more consumers across the country are using cashless payment methods.The rapid development of third-party mobile payment tools is helping to boost cashless payments across the country,said Dong Ximiao,a researcher at the Renmin University of China.Transactions(交易)involving third-party mobile payments rose by46.8percent in the first quarter of2017compared with the previous quarter to18.8trillion yuan,according to a report released in May.Although there were3.4billion third-party payment accounts in total in China in2016,China is not the first country to seek a cashless society.Developed states like Sweden,Denmark and Singapore are also witnessing that increase.However,the rapid development of cashless payments does not mean there are no challenges and criticisms.Alibaba’s Hema store,where customers can shop,dine and order commodities for delivery from their mobile phones via Alipay,have come into the spotlight recently.Media reports said that consumers can’t purchase goods with cash there,which would be considered illegal.Alipay and WeChat Pay,the nation’s two major third-party mobile payment tools,also launched campaigns this month to encourage more merchants and customers to use cashless payment methods, which caused concerns over whether cash will soon disappear.“Some offline sellers refuse to accept cash,which impacts the natural circulation of yuan,”said Dong.He emphasized that a cashless society would not mean that cash would completely disappear.As the economy grows,the circulation of cash is still very huge,noted Dong.Also,it’s important to remember that nearly half of China’s population live in rural areas,especially in undeveloped western regions,unable to enjoy innovation(革新)brought by the Internet,Dong said.And when it comes to China’s senior citizens,most of them prefer to use cash in their daily lives,he added.“It’s ridiculous to question digital payment tools’contribution toward financial development.In the long term,various payment methods will be used by consumers,and merchants should respect consumers’payment habits,”Dong noted.8.What does the underlined word“that”in paragraph3probably refer to?A.Economic activity.B.Cashless payment.C.Development of economy.rge amount of payment.9.Why has Alibaba’s Hema store become a focus?A.It fights against illegal activities.B.It provides comprehensive services.C.Customers are not permitted to use cash there.D.It starts campaigns to encourage mobile payment.10.Which of the following will Dong find reasonable?A.Various payment methods ought to be respected.B.People should be encouraged to use mobile payment.C.Most elderly people have no access to mobile payment.D.Mobile payment isn’t beneficial to a cost-effective society.11.What is the text mainly about?A.China’s cashless trend.B.The research on mobile payment.C.The reasons to use mobile payment.D.China’s cashless future.DLearning is so complex that there are many different psychological theories to explain how people learn.A psychologist named Albert Bandura suggested a social learning theory which shows that observation,imitation(模仿),and modeling play a primary role in this process.In Albert Bandura’s opinion,people can learn through observation.Observational learning doesn’t even necessarily require watching another person join in an activity.We can also learn by reading, hearing,or watching the actions of characters in books and films.However,just observing someone else’s actions isn’t always enough to lead to learning.Your own mental state also plays an important role in determining whether a behavior is learned or not.In addition,though in many cases,learning can be seen immediately when the new behavior is displayed,yet sometimes we can learn things even though that learning might not be immediately obvious,which means people can learn new information without showing new behaviors.Not all observed behaviors are effectively learned.Certain requirements need to be related to the observational learning process.For example,you need to be paying attention.Also your retention is an important part of observational learning as you need to pull up information later and act on it during the process.Once you’ve paid attention to the model and kept the information,it’s time to actually perform the behavior you observed.Further practice of the learned behavior leads to improvement.Finally,you have to be motivated to imitate the behavior that has been modeled.Social learning theory have many real-world applications.For example,researchers employ it to look into and understand ways that positive role models can be used to encourage desirable behaviors. Besides,it’s also applied in the field of education,and today,both teachers and parents recognize how important it is to model appropriate behaviors.12.What can we infer about observational learning from Paragraph2?A.Its effects on a person tend to be very obvious.B.Its effectiveness is determined by the mental state.C.Its most useful means should be careful watching.D.It doesn’t necessarily lead to a change in behavior.13.What does the underlined word“retention”in Paragraph3most probably mean?A.Curiosity.B.Creativity.C.Memory.D.Imagination.14.What should you do to make observational learning successful?A.Learn to be judgmental.B.Look for a motivator.C.Try to be imaginative.D.Focus on the process.15.According to the text,the social learning theory___________.A.was doubted at firstB.remains to be testedC.is of practical useD.is based on experiments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。
