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, shortcutting 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 Smartphone Emerges as 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 smartphone-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 (15分)
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 content.
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 n 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 a language 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
3
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. 41. A. at hand B. at risk C. in use D. in view 42. A. ancient B. evolving C. local D. surviving 43. A. assessment B. classification C. description D. research 44. A. age B. background C. number D. religion 45. A. committee B. century C. generation D. government 46. A. content B. occupations C. situations D. themes 47. A. advisedly B. efficiently C. primarily D. rarely 48. A. balancing B. complicating C. historical D. interrelated 49. A. cultural B. mental C. moral D. religious 50. A. foreign B. informal C. isolated D. national 51. A. For example B. In contrast C. In response D. Vice versa 52. A. boom B. develop C. disappear D. suffer 53. A. ceases B. changes C. increases D. starts 54. A. difference B. influence C. shift D. variety 55. A. enrich B. purify C. refresh D. standardize
Section B (22分)
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 just 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
4
mule(骡子)or on foot. Inns were often dirty, food could be polluted, and there was always risk of 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 inhabited by thousands of 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.” Liang wrote of the experience in an account included in “Liang and Lin: Partners in Exploring China’s Architectural Past.”
56. On their way to the ancient buildings in 1930s, Liang and Lin faced following risks
EXCEPT ______. A. accommodations B. personal security C. road conditions D. vehicles 57. Liang and Lin raised public awareness of ______.
A. documenting smashed historical buildings B. rebuilding historically valuable buildings C. saving the oldest temples in China D. protecting historical buildings
58. While exploring the Temple of Buddha’s Light, ______. A. Liang and Lin caught insects with awful smell
B. Liang and Lin were forbidden to breathe inside C. Liang and Lin were pleased at something unhoped for
D. Liang and Lin determined its age by studying bedbugs’ hideaway 59. Which of the following is the best title for the passage? A. Creativeness results in discovery B. Difficulty produces achievement C. Efforts contribute to happiness D. Responsibilities make development

(C)
①Risk is something we face daily. However, some people are obviously more willing to take risks than others.
②Biologists appear to have discovered a physical reason that explains why some people are risk-takers. Dopamine is a neurotransmitter, a chemical that spreads signals between nerve cells. It is linked to the brains reward system and is the chemical that makes us feel good, and scientists believe it to be linked to risk-taking. Our nerve cells have dopamine receptors(接收器) which control the amount of dopamine that each cell receives. But not all receptors may be active. When a person has few active receptors to control the amount of dopamine that is received, a cell can become flooded resulting in an extreme feeling of happiness.
③Researchers at Vanderbilt University and Albert Einstein College of Medicine asked 34 men and women to complete a questionnaire about their risk taking to assess whether they seek new opportunities or are cautious in life. The results of the research were consistent with similar studies carried out with rats, and had the same outcome. It concluded that people who are risk-takers have fewer dopamine receptors than people who are not. This suggests that the rush of pleasure a risk taker receives when a cell becomes flooded with dopamine can become addictive for some people. They therefore pursue new and exciting activities in order to try to repeat this feeling, and as a result their concern for risk becomes considerably reduced.
④Dopamine gives us a biological reason for risk-taking, but scientists believe there may be psychological reasons too. Sensation-seeking is a personality characteristic that describes the desire to find activities that bring us pleasure. In 1964, psychologist Marvin Zuckerman created the sensation-seeking scale. His 40-item questionnaire, still used today, was given to people who were active in seeking new activities, and to people who were more satisfied with a quiet life. While risk-taking is not a characteristic in itself, it is very much associated with sensation-seeking, as a high sensation-seeker does not evaluate risk in the same way that a low sensation-seeker does. A desire to achieve pleasure means that there is a greater willingness to take more risks.
⑤There are both biological and psychological explanations as to why some people may choose to take more risks than others. However, none of these explanations are definitive. 63. If a person has fewer active dopamine receptors, __________. A. he is less likely to feel happy B. he is more willing to take risks C. he will eventually become dopamine-addictive D. he is poorer at controlling the amount of dopamine
64. The underlined phrase “consistent with” is closest to “__________” in meaning. A. contrary to B. in agreement with C. at the cost of D. persistent in 65. What can be concluded from paragraph 4? A. The longing for pleasure may lead to risk taking. B. A willingness to take more risks can be cultivated. C. The sensation-seeking scale can help to evaluate risk. D. High sensation-seekers are more common than low ones. 66. This passage mainly talks about __________.
7
A. when we learn to take risks B. how risk-taking benefits us C. what makes risk-takers D. why we should take risks
Section C (8分)
Directions: Read the following passage. Fill in each blank with a proper sentence given in the box. Each sentence can be used only once. Note that there are two more sentences than you need. A. B. C. D. Many options require city-level investment in new facilities. However, it is not yet clear which technologies and fuels cities will back. Through their actions, city governments today are helping to shape the cities of the future. For example, London is requiring all newly licensed taxis to be zero-emission capable from 2018. E. City planners are using transport-oriented development to increase density while maintaining quality of life and property value. F. Some cities, such as Delhi, are investing heavily in creating the mass transport systems needed to change how citizens travel. Sustainable Transport in Cities Transport has always shaped cities. In Medieval times crossroads gave birth to blooming market towns. Many North American cities were created for the car. But how are the cities of today being shaped by a need for more sustainable transport? Many local governments are speeding up change through policy initiatives such as joined transport, congestion charges and low emission zones, sustainable gaining and lifecycle costing, and opening data up to companies and academics. And these city level policies can move markets in more sustainable directions. 67 his has resulted in five vehicle manufacturers committing to meeting that deadline, which is both in their own commercial interests and good for the environment. The least dense cities, for example, Houston, have per capita(人均的) carbon emissions nearly ten times higher than the densest, such as Singapore. 68 This involves gathering mixed use developments around a key transport center, as with the KL Central area in Kuala Lumpur, built around the largest railway station in Southeast Asia. 69 Others are using motivations and behavioural change to encourage people to choose more efficient―and often healthier―forms of transport. Copenhagen has a number of progressive cycling policies including the Green Wave, which allows people cycling at 20km/h to hit all green lights during rush hour. Light weighting and new engine and fuel technologies are helping to make existing road and rail vehicles more efficient. 70 The main options are hydrogen fuel cells, fossil fuel hybrids, and electric vehicles, and the best solution may well vary from city to city.
IV. Summary Writing (10分)
Directions: Read the following passage. Summarize the main idea and the main point(s) of the passage in no more than 60 words. Use your own words as far as possible:
Online “friends” ―a threat to development
The impact of technology on the nature of our friendships has been a much-debated topic since the dramatic rise of social networks. Advances in mobile technology and social networking websites mean we spend more time online than ever before. It is therefore not surprising that so
8
many psychologists, sociologists, and others are eager to give their thoughts on how this is impacting negatively on our society.
There is one element of social networking that is deeply worrying. We find ourselves in a hyper-connected world where people access social media day and night, excited to make announcements about the tiniest details of their lives. Research is starting to show that this culture is negatively affecting not our friendships but our character. Professor Larry D. Rosen says that young people who overuse social networking sites can become ineffective, aggressive, and display anti-social behavior in their offline lives. But perhaps an even more disturbing effect is that one of our most basic emotions seems to be disappearing—empathy. This is the emotion that allows us to see the world from our friends’ points of view. Without it, we are far less able to connect and form meaningful adult relationships.
Professor Sherry Turkle suggests that people are no longer comfortable being alone. This is something confirmed by a study where 200 university students were asked to go without social media for 24 hours. Many admitted an addiction to their online social network; most complained that they felt cut off from family and friends. And yet being alone is a time when we self-reflect and get in touch with who we really are. It is only when we do this that we can make meaningful friendships with others.
These potential changes in our characters are rather alarming, so it is clear that we can’t neglect those negative impacts of social networks.

healthy stuff.
Q: Where does this conversation most probably take place?
2. M: Hi, Mrs. William. I was hoping I could have a moment of your time if you're not too busy.
I'm having some problems getting started on my novel.
W: Sure. I have quite a few students, though. So can you remind me what your topic is? Q: What's the most probable relationship between the two speakers?
3. W: If you hadn't told me, I would have guessed the wedding cake was baked by the restaurant.
You know, you could very well open your own shop.
M: Ha, ha! One step at a time. If the cake isn't a disaster, maybe I'll give it some more thought. Q: What does the woman suggest the man do?
4. M: Sorry, the package is too big, and it needs a signature to confirm you have received it. So I
would need to deliver it at a time when you're in
W: Ok, well, I'm out all day today, but I should be in tomorrow morning before I go out for
lunch
Q: What can we learn from the conversation?
5. W: So you're John from the office. Actually, I've heard a lot about you and that project. The

Questions 11 through 13 are based on the following news.
Airline passengers have to deal with a lot these days: getting bumped from flights and losing luggage are on top of the general anxiety that nervous passengers always feel. At the Cincinnati Northern Kentucky International Airport, tiny horses deliver a calming force two times a month. Denver and Ruby are two of the 34 therapy horses brought in from a local farm. They can usually be found in the ticket counter area interacting with travelers. More than 30 airports across the country now have therapy dogs. San Francisco has a therapy pig. San Jose, California, began a dog program after the terrorist attacks of Sept. 11. Since its beginning, the program has now grown and has 21 therapy dogs and a therapy cat. The animals don't get frightened. They have had hundreds of hours of airport training so they are used to having luggage and people crowding around them. These professional animals are probably better at finding their way in the airports than the most frequent travelers. The passengers often say that seeing animals makes them feel much better and helps them calm down before a flight. This little bit of support makes a big difference Questions:
11. How many times a month do Denver and Ruby work in the airport? 12. Which therapy animal is used by the San Francisco airport?
13. According to the passengers, how do they feel at the sight of the animals in the airport?
Questions 14 through 16 are based on the following passage.

Questions 17 through 20 are based on the following conversation.
W: Sam, could you review the results of the survey on leisure sporting activities again? We need to plan our proposal for tomorrow's meeting.
M: Sure, I've summarized the results in the handout, broken down by consumer age groups and sporting activities. The survey was administered t0 550 men and women between the ages of 18 and 55 years old. The results have been presented according to the following age groups: 18 t0 26, 27 t0 35, 36 t0 45, and 46 to 55. The results show that the most active group involved in sporting activities are those between 18 and 26 years old, followed by those 36 to 45 years old. W: Okay.
M: As far as particular sports are concerned, people in these two groups cited jogging as their favorite recreational sport followed by skiing, tennis, swimming and cycling.
W: Hmm. Based on what you've said, I think we should consider targeting the 18 t0 26 years old age group more in the future. I also feel we should consider expanding our line of athletic shoes, particularly jogging and tennis footwear. We also have to come up with a more appealing slogan aimed at this age group.
M: I see what you mean. However, when these results are compared with the survey carried out three- years ago, we can see a growing trend among older consumers.
