Since I was first in China in 2012, my life, and China itself, have developed and changed a lot. My first China interaction was in 2012, when I came here with a friend. We traveled from Beijing to Hong ong, all in 5 wees. We had a fantastic time meeting local people, eploring beautiful places and eating delicious food. After this eperience traveling across China and eating local food, I really wondered “How did I live without eating dumplings and eggplant on a weely basis?” Well, I guess I did, somehow, for 22 years!

As my Chinese improved during my studies I became more independent and more aware of the possibilities of Waimai, or food home delivery. I suddenly noticed the thousands of Waimai drivers ooming across the roads on their motorcycles. On deep, dar Beijing winter days and rainy days, Waimai is lie the holy grail and as I enjoyed my tae - away dumplings I would thin and laugh to myself, “How did I live before without being able to get Waimai?” Well, I guess I did, somehow, for 23 years!

In mid-2015, I was bac in China again for my master's degree. That's when I came across my first Mobie “Oh, that’s a unique bie and surely it will get stolen soon ”, I thought as I passed on my own blac bie. But one wee passed and I saw it still there. Then the one Mobie sighting turned into two and three, and soon thousands and then seemingly overnight the streets of Beijing were flooded with orange and yellow wheels. Again, I pondered on how I ever lived without my shared bie account. Well, I guess I did, somehow, for 25 years!

China today is a country still steeped in ancient nowledge and custom, yet one that is also bursting with new ideas and changes. Although some things will always stay the same, something else is constantly changing at a pace beyond comprehension. I’m sure as I continue my life here in Beijing I will be swept up in the net new convenience of life that China’s rapid development is bringing out. 24. According to the first paragraph, what impressed the author most might be ________.

A. Chinese culture B. Chinese food C. Chinese people D. Chinese history 25. The underlined words holy grail in Paragraph 2 probably means________.

With a starting price of $999, the iPhone has the highest-price of any iPhone ever offered. Yet Apple said demand for its latest smartphone has so far been \

One of the most-taled about features of the iPhone is the new front and bac-facing cameras. Apple says its TrueDepth technology greatly improves performance for photographs and video. The camera is also trained to recognie faces and epressions. The company says this gives users power to open up the phone just by looing at it.

The new Face ID recognition system replaces the Touch ID on other Apple devices that used a fingerprint to unloc the phone. It wors by projecting more than 30,000 dots on the face of users to create a ind of map. An infrared (红外线的) camera then reads these mars to create an image that can be confirmed as having the same appearance.

Apple says the system is also designed to continually learn. Each time the face is used to unloc the phone, it is supposed to note any changes, such as facial hair or the person getting older. The system can then remember the changes to eep recogniing the person over time.

Reviewers reported successful tests in which the phone recognied the face in different situations and unloced the device. But most reviewers also said the feature did not wor perfectly all the time.

One fairly common failure was that the Face ID sometimes did not unloc the iPhone if the user wore a certain ind of sunglasses. Not surprisingly, wearing any ind of disguise – even one covering just part of the face – caused Face ID to fail. It was found to wor correctly when the user was wearing headphones or a hat.

Apple has also admitted that Face ID could fail when used with young people who loo very much alie. But Apple says its research shows there is only a one in a million chance of another person being able to unloc someone else's iPhone with Face ID. The company has promised the system will become \gold standard\28. How can users unloc an iPhone ?

A. By using a fingerprint. B. By taing a picture. C. By looing at the iPhone . D. By recogniing user’s faces. 29. From the tet, we now the new Face ID recognition ________.

A. will recognie users by reading the dots projected on their faces B. will recognie users by using the dots on their faces C. won’t recognie users when they get older D. is no better than the Touch ID technology 30. Users can’t unloc an iPhone if they wear ________.

A. glasses B. mass C. hats D. headphones 31. What can we infer from the last paragraph?

A. Young people can’t use the Face ID successfully. B. The system has become “the new gold standard”. C. A million people are using the iPhone . D. Apple thins the Face ID system is very successful. D

When ordering food only taes a few minutes using a smartphone, it’s only natural that food deliveries have become part of college life. However, a university in Guangi huang autonomous region is trying to put a stop to this trend on its campus.

On Nov 1, Guangi University of Foreign Languages banned food delivery services and disposable food boes, both to its campus and dormitories.

The ban immediately received fierce criticism from the university’s students, as well as internet users. Some complained that the ban made campus canteens very crowded. “There are not enough seats in the canteen, which forces us to eat standing up or squatting,” a student in the university surnamed Tan told Guangi Television.

The crowded canteens also mean that etra time is spent dining, which could have been used to nap during the lunch brea. Some even complained that the canteen only provides a few dishes, most of which don’t taste so great.

Su Junlv, from the university’s student affairs office, eplained that the ban was carried out because off-campus food posed safety riss for students. It’s believed that tae-away food had created a serious garbage problem, as there were often a large number of used food boes found in campus garbage cans after students had finished their meals.

According to Su, the ban was also brought in to help students develop a healthy lifestyle. “While food delivery services bring convenience, they let students form some lay habits,” Su told inhua. “They spend a whole day in the dorm playing video games, watching TV soap operas and ordering food online.”

However, in the eyes of Liu Junhai, a professor at Renmin University of China, there are other approaches that universities could tae to improve their students’ meal times. “Universities should eplore how to improve the dining eperience in the canteens, such as the queuing and variety of dishes,” he told inhua.

32. What does the passage mainly tal about?

A. The convenience brought by food delivery. B. The effect of crowded canteens on students. C. A solution to stop students becoming lay. D. A ban on food delivery in campus.

33. In students’ opinion, what would be caused after the ban was carried out?

A. It would tae students less time to eat in the canteen. B. Students would enjoy various tasty dishes in the canteen.
