Signing up for a digital TV service provides you with access to over 200 channels from all over the globe.

However, television today is dominated by adult language, making it hard for concerned families to find channels

suitable for young eyes. Therefore, most movie channels are automatically removed from the list of TV channels

for an entire family. The following are some good ones based on popularity on a global scale.

Discovery Channel

Discovery

and

its

many

channels

can

be

considered

as

the

founding

father

of

informative

channels

on

television. While National Geographic does in a scholastic(

学术的

) manner, Discovery tries to do in an entertaining

manner

—

educating the masses about anything and everything.

Fox Family

Finding a movie channel that broadcasts pictures suitable for teenagers and kids alike is very difficult unless

your service operator offers you Fox family movies. This channel screens most movies before it broadcasts them,

ensuring that no movie shows unacceptable material for young eyes.

Nickelodeon

A

channel

very

similar

to

Cartoon

Network,

it

mostly

shows

US

progra

ms.

However,

their

shows

are

sometimes a bit more mature for younger kids and better suited to kids aged 5and up.

ABC Family

ABC

started

the

ABC

family

channel

in

an

attempt

to

introduce

family-centered

shows

and

serials

to

the

public

in

the

USA.

The

need

for

this

channel

was

felt

after

ABC

observed

the

lack

of

proper

family

type

US

channels.

Living

If travelling is a family hobby and better living is the motto then there is no better channel than Living. Kids

can

see

never-seen-before

sights,

learning

about

new

places

while

adults

can

practice

their

cooking

and

learn

amazing things about motorbikes.

B

Many months ago when I was a young manager in a large company, we had a wise chairman. He combined the

skills of communication, both oral and written, with a mysterious ability either to charm or to frighten those who

came

in

contact

with

him

in

the

company

as

well

as

outside

of

it.

He

also

took

personal

interest

in

promising

managers by interacting with them and encouraging them in various ways.

Some

of

them

became

so

successful

that

other

companies

poached

(

窃取

)

them,

and

those

managers

themselves progressed in t heir new positions faster than in our company mostly because the competition in their

new positions wasn’t of the same quality. As time went by and some of these gentlemen became famous themselves,

a few of them began to make negative remarks about my chairman.

One

day

I

happened

to

express

my

rather

critical

views

about

the

renegades(

叛徒

)

to

my

chairman.

He

responded to me, “Whenever someone says or does something that may be harmful to me, I ask myself a question

as to what are the good things I have done to this man that he is now doing this to me. You, as a young man, should

learn that when you do something good for someone there is always a possibility that sooner or later some of them

would begin to do or say things against you. The reason could be that the renegade dislike the fact that his success

has

been partly due to your help and guidance.”

His

words

turned

out

to

be

true

in

my

own

experience

in

later

life,

when

the

same

phenomenon

occurred.

Perhaps, as the older man told me, such behavior is caused by the dislike of having been dependent on someone

else for one’s own success.

24.

What does the author think of the chairman?

A. He is a brave and easygoing man.

B. He is a wise and warm- hearted man.

C. He is a hardworking and respectable man.

D. He is a man who likes tricks and skills .

25. How did the chairman deal with all sorts of people?

A. He often made false promises.

B. He had his special social ability.

C. He showed a severe attitude to others.

D. He was good at praising others.

26. Why did the renegades make negative remarks about the chairman?

A. Because the chairman was critical of them.

B. Because they envied what the chairman had achieved.

C. Because they hated having partly relied on him.

D. Because they became famous and disliked his help.

27. What can we infer from the third paragraph?

A. The chairman often asked the author questions.

B. The author was critical about the chairman.

C. Most young men were unkind to others after success.

D. The chairman had expected some negative remarks.

届高三第一次调研联考英语试题

American-based startup V

olterman has recently released a smart wallet that takes security to the extreme. It

comes with a built-in alarm system, a GPS tracker, and even a front facing camera that takes photos of whoever

tries to open it, and sends them to the owner.

Wallets almost seem obsolete in this digital age, but the V

olterman Smart Wallet is not your average wallet.

One of the main features(

特色

) of the V

olterman Smart Wallet is the distance-

sensitive alarm system. Once you’ve

paired the stylish card holder with your smartphone, every time the distance between phone and wallet goes over a

certain

threshold(

临界值

),

an

alarm

will

remind

you,

so

you

don’t

accidentally

leave

it

behind.

The

cool

thing

about this system is that it works both ways. If you forget your phone somewhere, the wallet alarm goes off, letting

you know that its best friend is missing.

Then

there’s

the

GPS

tracker

that

allows

you

to

locate

the

wallet

anywhere

in

the

world,

an

RFID(Radio

Frequency

Identification)

protection

system

designed

to

prevent

electronic

pick-pocketing

or

RFID

skimming.

Credit

cards,

some

passports

and

driver

licenses

now

come

with

RFID

chips

that

thieves

can

copy,

but

the

V

olterman Smart Wallet prevents that.

But perhaps the most unusual feature of the V

olterman Smart Wallet is the built-in front-facing camera. When

in

“lost

mode”,

the

wallet

will

take

pictures

whenever

someone

tries

to

open

it

and

send

them

to

the

owner

by

connecting to the internet. This feature is listed as optional, so would-be customers concerned about privacy issues

needn’t be worried.

“If someone dares to open your wallet without your knowledge, the little camera will take a picture and send it

to your mobile phone,” said Azat Tovmasyan, founder of Volterman. “We have developed a wa

llet, which does not

get lost. Once your wallet is stolen, you will find it easily by receiving the picture of the thief.”

28. What can we learn about the V

olterman Smart Wallet?

A. It can trap whoever attempts to steal your phone.

B. It enables the users to know where their wallets are.

C. It will automatically take the picture of the thief.

D. It protects your passports from being pick-pocketed.

29. Which of the following is NOT the feature of the V

olterman Smart Wallet?

A. A built-in alarm system.

B. A front-facing camera.

C. A GPS tracker.

D. A RFID chip.

30. What does the underlined word “obsolete” mean in this passage?

A. of no use

B. out of date

C. within reach

D. beyond doubt

31. Where can you most probably read this passage?

A. In a research paper.

B. In an advertisement.

C. In a book review.

D. In a newspaper.

Payment platforms run promotions to boost WeChat and Alipay, two major online payment platforms in China,

and

call

for

consumers

to

go

cashless

and

cardless

in

their

daily

life

Cashlessness

is

a

characteristic. In a recent report by Tencent, the Chongyang Institute for Financial Studies at Renmin University of

China,

and

French

market

research

firm

Ipsos,

84

percent

of

Chinese

in

do

not

need

cash

in

a

restaurant,

seeing a doctor, paying electricity and water bills. I cannot think of any place I cannot pay with my smartphone,

she says.

The new payment pattern has won over Chinese consumers with its convenience and flexibility, squeezing the

market

share

of

card

and

cash

payments.

It
