Asleep on a plane: a case for window seats

I love to sleep on planes, and I have an unusual ability to sleep well on them. There have
even been one or two occasions (21)
I have fallen asleep before takeoff and awakened

upon the impact of landing, not having realized we had even left the ground. So when (22)
(book) my flights, I always choose the window seat whenever possible. This allows me to lean my
sleepy head against the wall of the plane for a bit (23)
Some (24)


(much) comfort.
argue that the aisle
（走廊）
seat is superior for the leg space and the
ability to get off swiftly and eye the snack cart. But in reality,
we’re

seconds. Also, I find that if a person knows
he’s in a window seat, he’ll
choose to
(not need) to disturb his neighbor, which
use the bathroom before boarding so that he (26)
is just considerate. And he’ll seize
the opportunity to get up when another seatmate gets up so that
the seatmate
needn’t

As a photographer and visually oriented person, the window seat gives me the best views
of cottony clouds, or a great sunset, or golden sunrise, etc. Most of all, (28)




I’ve been flying for years, I still get pleasure of seeing my departing city or country

Beyond Mobile Money: The Future of Asia’s FinTech

Mobile money has been the hottest part in financial technology for the last few years. But
FinTech is more than just how people store money and transact
（交易）
-- the space is much more
horizontal, short cutting how we create, share, and protect value.
The latest product of FinTech companies to 31 in Asia Pacific illustrates the many ways
the space can help consumers beyond just their mobile wallet. It is important for all businesspersons
to be aware of these trends, as their success opens up all sorts of possibilities for companies to
32
with them. And, on a much deeper level, new FinTechs may
33
consumer expectations
in even other tech industries.
The Smart-phone Emerges a Credit - Scoring Standard

With
close
to
half
a
billion
34
consumers
in
Southeast
Asia
alone,
there
is
an
entire
industry of FinTechs devoted to finding ways to accurately determine their credit - worthiness to
give
them
35
to
finance.
Unfortunately,
since
they
don’t
have
bank
accounts,
such
FinTechs
cannot rely on 36 financial information or credit card payments.
One credit scoring source emerging as a new standard in the field is smart- phone-based
credit scoring. It has 37 broad global support, including from the likes of the World-Bank. In
one of its reports, the Asian Development Bank even stated that mobile data was a key to financial
38 , as it could improve customer recording, and, in turn, get an access to credit.

AI Combines with the Wisdom of the Crowd

The most common slogan in
today’s tech headlines is the “artificial intelligence.” Readers
are fascinated with how AI has the 39
to transform every consumer and enterprise
（企业）

industry. While such focus is appropriate that AI
will
40
change the world, it leaves out a
crucial element that will go hand - in - hand with its rise: the wisdom of the crowd.
Ⅲ
. Reading Comprehension
Section A
Directions: For each blank in the following passage, there are four words or phrases marked A, B,
C and D. Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context.
Endangered languages can be found throughout the world. Many
languages now have
fewer than 100 or even fewer than 10 speakers. The crisis is not limited to remote regions of the
world.
When
Europeans
first
arrived
in
North
America,
312
different
languages
were
41
,
of
which 123 are now known to be extinct. Of the 42 languages, most speakers are grandparents
and great - grandparents.
Different researchers offer different definitions of “endangered”. The system of

43


used by the Catalogue of Endangered Languages evaluates languages in four areas: the 44 of
all the speakers, how often the language is conveyed to the next 45 , the rate at which it is losing
speakers and the 46 in which it is used. Based on this data, languages are ranked on a six
-
point scale from “safe” to “severely endangered.” The midpoint, “endangered” refers to langua
ge
with between 100 and 1,000 speakers who represent about half of the language’s community or
ethnic group. The language is spoken only by some parents, of whom very few teach it to their
children. It is 47 used at home and is not taught in schools or used for government business.
Languages
become
endangered
due
to
a
number
of
48
factors
including
globalization,
economics,
technology,
education
policy,
and
changes
in
49
attitudes.
As
the
forces

of
globalization
make
the
world
more
interconnected,
previously
50

language
communities
come
under pressure to participate in a larger economy, which means learning the
area’s
majority language.
51 , local schools often begin to teach the majority language instead of the local tongue. Local
languages
also
52
as
communities
adopt
mobile
phones
and
computers
most
of
which
run
on
software
that
has
been
translated
into
only
a
handful
of
languages.
This
trend


53


as
these
devices connect users to the Internet. At this point, many communities undergo a cultural 54
in which parents no longer value the language enough to teach it to their children.
Initiatives
to
55
endangered
languages
have
become
more
numerous
in
recent
years.
These efforts tend to focus on two main areas: the documentation of endangered languages, and
efforts to increase the use of endangered languages among younger speakers and in the community
at large.

Section B

Directions: Read the following three passages. Each passage is followed by several questions or
unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the
one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have read.
(A)

Many of
China’s
ancient architectural treasures smashed to dust before
Lin Huiyin and
Liang Sicheng began documenting them in the 1930s. The husband and wife team were among the
first preservationists to operate in China, and by far the best known. Their efforts have since inspired
generations of people to speak out for architecture threatened by the rush toward development.
Becoming
China’s
best architectural historians was no easy accomplishment. The buildings
they wanted to save were centuries old located in distant parts of the country. In many cases, they
had to journey through dangerous conditions in the Chinese countryside to reach them. Exploring
China’s
remote areas during the 1930s meant traveling muddy, poorly maintained roads by mule
（

骡

）
or on foot. Inns were often dirty food could be polluted, and there was always risk or
violence from rebels, soldiers and robbers.

Their
greatest
discovery
was
the
Temple
of
Buddha’s
Light,
in
Wutai
County,
Shanxi
Province. The breathtaking wooden temple was built in 857 A. D., making it the oldest building
known in China at the time.
Liang and Lin crawled into the
temple’s
most forbidding, forgotten areas to determine its
age, including one hideaway inhibited by thousands or bats and millions of bedbugs, covered in dust
and littered with dead bats. “In
complete darkness and among the awful smell, hardly breathing,
with
thick
masks
covering
our
noses
and
mouths,
we
measured,
drew,
and
photographed
with
flashlights
for
several
hours.
When
at
last
we
came
out
to
take
a
breath
of
fresh
air,
we
found
hundreds
of
bedbugs
in
our
bag.
We
ourselves
had
been
badly
bitten.
Yet
the
importance
and
unexpectedness
of
our
find
made
those
the
happiest
hours
of
my
years
hunting
for
ancient
architecture.” Liand wrote of the experience in an account included in “Liang and Li
n; Partners in
Exploring
China’s
Architectual
Past.”

56.

On their way to the ancient buildings in 1930s, Liang and Lin faced following risks EXCEPT




.
B. personal security

A.

accommodations

B.

C.
