has undergone many reforms in an effort to compete more effectively on the international market. these reforms included allowing foreign banks to offer credit cards to chinese citizens. now, researchers at the university of missouri(mu) have found about 30% of chinese urban households now own at least one credit card and the growth rate of credit adoption has been an average of 40% per year between 2004 and 2009. rui yao, an assistant professor of personal financial planning at mu, says that this large growth in such a small amount of time has positive and negative implications for the chinese economy. “with more and more people taking advantage of credit cards in china, it certainly increases potential consumer buying power,” yao said. “however, we found that more than 90% of credit card users were unaware of safety issues existing in credit card use and more than 60% had little knowledge of the consequences of credit card debt. this lack of knowledge could create problems as credit card ownership is expected to grow at a rate of 11% a year.” yao found that while 72% of chinese credit card holders were never late on their payment, only 55% were able to pay the full balance. she also found that 70% of chinese credit card holders said that credit cards contributed to overspending. yao believe that chinese could benefit from financial education designed to help them plan for their financial future and encouraging the chinese to take advantage of debt in a responsible fashion is important for the chinese economy. “appropriate use of debt can help households improve their quality of life as well as spur economic growth through an increase in market purchases,” yao said.32. why did china allow foreign banks to offer credit cards to chinese citizens? a. to increase chinese citizens confidence in economy b. to respond to the urgent demand for financial reforms c. to persuade more chinese citizens to accept credit cards d. to improve competitiveness in the international market33. a lot of figures are used in the text in order to _. a. provide concrete evidence b. record the valuable date c. give a detailed description d. introduce a research method34. it can be inferred from the text that _.a. education is the only solutions to future financial issuesb. overspending is mainly brought about by credit cardsc. some chinese citizens lack knowledge of credit risksd. most chinese credit card holders cant pay the balance35. the underlined word “spur” in the last paragraph is closest in the meaning to_a. promote b. delay c. control d. discourage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。选项中的两项为多余选项。mosquitoes have an extraordinary ability to target humans far away and fly straight to their unprotected skin. _(36)_.some mosquitoes spread several serious diseases, including dengue, yellow fever and malaria. over one million people worldwide die from these mosquito-borne diseases each year. new research now shows how mosquitoes choose who to bite. _(37)_.they are attracted to human skin and breath. they smell the carbon dioxide gas - which all mammals breathe out. this gas is how mosquitoes know that a warm-blooded creature is nearby._(38)_.michael dickinson is a professor at the california institute of technology. his research shows how these small insects, with even smaller brains, use three senses to find a blood meal. we suspected from research that we had been doing on fruit flies that vision might play a very large and underappreciated role in allowing the mosquito to really home in on the potential host target. michael dickinsons team used plumes - material that rises into the air - of carbon dioxide gas into a wind tunnel（隧道）. _(39)_.the insects followed the plume. then, the scientists placed dark objects on the lighter colored floor and walls of the tunnel. mr. dickinson said, at first, the mosquitoes showed no interest in the objects at all. what was quite striking and quite surprising is that the mosquitoes fly back and forth for hours-these are hungry females-and they completely ignore the objects on the floor and wall of the tunnel. but the moment that they get a hit of co2, they change their behavior quite dramatically and now would become attracted to these little visual blobs（斑点）._(40)_.a. but mosquitoes also use their eyes and sense of touch.b. once mosquitoes catch a smell of a human or animal, they also follow visual cues.c. regrettably, mosquitoes can do more than cause an itchy woundd. they then used cameras to record the mosquitoes.e. mosquitoes need blood to survive.f. the study, published in current biology, details the steps of the mosquitos flight so that we may one day have a fighting chance against the biting insect.g. this suggested to the researchers that a mosquitos sense of smell is more important in the search for food.第三部分：英语知识运用(共两节，满分45分)第一节：完形填空(共20小题，每小题.1.5分,满分30分)阅读下面短文。从短文后各题所给的四个选项（a、b、c和d）中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。it is universally acknowledged that fresh food is beneficial to our health. as a
