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)

seat is superior for the leg space and the

ability to get off swiftly and eye the snack cart. But in reality,

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

(bother) more than once.

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

(29)

(shrink) into the distance, and the butterflies in my stomach when I see the horizon of my destination

come into view. And those feelings of adventure and excitement are (30)

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

industry. While such focus is appropriate that AI

will

. 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 researc

hers 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 language

with between 100 and 1,000 speakers who re

present 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

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

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

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 Lin; Partners in

Exploring

China’s

Architectual

Past.”
