13、(Business to Customer) online sales are growing at an annual rate of 25 percent. Competition between online giants like Taobao and Jingdong is now fiercer than ever. “The essence of online shopping is that customers can buy products easily.

14、; secondly, the depth under each category of products; third, the price and user experience,” Pan Biao, vice president of YHD said. E-commerce is one of Chinas fastest growing sectors. Its changed peoples buying habits, and even their living habits. And its had a huge impact on the retail industry.

21、 Pennsylvania, US when she got the news: Her older brother Brian, a student at Columbia University, was suffering from mental illness. Inspired by this, Malmon formed a group at her university to empower (使能够) students to talk openly about mental health. It soon blossomed into a national organizatio
22、n that today has more than 450 campus chapters. Leaders with the organization spend their time talking with college students about the pressure that todays young people face. “What you hear often is just a need to be perfect,” said Malmon, “and a need to present oneself as perfect.” And a new study
23、in the UK proved that this need for perfectionism is simply part of todays society. In the study, two researchers studied more than 40,000 students from the US, Canada, and the UK. They found that what they called “socially prescribed(社会定向型的) perfectionism” increased by a third between 1989 and 2016
24、. Lead researcher Thomas Curran said that while so many of todays young people try to present a perfect appearance online, social media isnt the only reason behind this trend. Instead, he said, it may be driven by competition in modern society, meaning young people cant avoid being sorted and ranked
25、 in both education and employment. That comes from new norms(准则) like greater numbers of college students, standardized testing and parenting that increasingly emphasizes success in education. For example, in 1976, half of high school seniors expected to get a college degree of some kind. By 2008, m
26、ore than 80 percent expected the same. The researchers also said changes in parenting styles over the last two decades might have had an impact. As parents feel increased pressure to raise successful children, they in turn pass their “achievement anxieties onto their kids through “excessive(过多的) inv
27、olvement in their childs routines, activities or emotions” Those in the mental health community like Malmon say theyre concerned about the impact the culture of perfectionism has on mental health on campuses. “Mental health has truly become this generations social justice issue,” she said. “Its our
28、job to equip them with the tools and to let people know that its not their fault.”1.What is the article mainly about?A.The effects of the culture of perfectionism.B.Research into the trend of perfectionism.C.A group dedicated to helping people stay mentally healthy.D.Various pressures that todays yo
29、ung people are facing.2.What inspired Alison Malmon to start a group related to mental health?A.Her brothers mental illness.B.Her project during the freshman year.C.The pressure she had experienced.D.Her strong interest in mental health.3.What may be pushing todays young people to struggle to be per

Their desire to draw their parents attention.A.a, b, cB.a, d, eC.a, b, dD.b, c, e4.What does Malmon think i
31、s a way to help young people manage the pressure of perfectionism?A.Enabling them to know what is to blame for their pressure.B.Lowering their expectations of themselves.C.Reducing parents involvement in their childrens life.D.Making them aware of what true social justice is.第II卷（非选择题）（每题1.5分，共60分）语
