AHave you ever heard of an old saying? Intelligence is a born ability while goodness is a choice. Gifts are easy—they’re given after a ll. Choice can be hard．I got the idea to start Amazon 16 years ago. I came across the fact that the Internet usage was growing at 2300 percent per year. I’d never seen or heard of anything that grew that fast, and the idea of building an online bookstore with millions of titles was very exciting to me. I had just turned 30 years old, an d I’d been married for a year. I told my wife MacKenzie that I wanted to quit my job and go to do this crazy thing that probably wouldn’t work since most start-ups don’t and I wasn’t sure what to expect．MacKenzie told me I should go for it．As a young boy，I’d been a garage inventor．I’d always wanted to be an inventor，and she wanted me to follow my passion．I was working at a financial firm in New York City with a bunch of very smart people and I had a brilliant boss that I much admired. I went to my boss and told him I wanted to start a company selling books on the Internet. He took me on a long walk in Central Park，listened carefully to me，and finally said，“That sounds like a really goodidea，but it would be an even better idea for someone who didn’t alr eady have a good job．”That logic made some sense to me，and he convinced me to think about it for 48 hours before making a final decision．Seen in that light, it really was a difficult choice，but finally，I decided I had to give it a shot．I didn’t think I’d r egret trying and failing．And I suspected I would always be haunted by a decision to not try at all.After much consideration，I took the less safe path to follow my passion，and I’m proud of that choice. For all of us, in the end, we are our choice．21．What inspired the author with the idea of building an online bookstore?A. His dream of being an inventor．B. The support of his wife．C. The greatly increasing usage of the Internet．D. Millions of exciting titles.22. Which of the following is closest in meaning to the underlined sentence?A. The idea of not trying would keep coming to his mind and disturb him．B. He would be very excited if he tried it out．C. H e would be always having a doubt if he didn’t try．D. The decision to not try the online bookstore would terrify him．23. Which of the following would be the best title for the passage?A. Cleverness and KindnessB. The Starting of AmazonC. Following My PassionD. We Are What We Choose24. We can know from the passage that_______．A. the boss thought the idea was suitable for the authorB. the author wanted someone else to try the ideaC. the author might not regret if he failed the ideaD. the author might go back to his boss if he failedBWith the development of modern society, human beings are increasingly invading wild animals’ habitat as well as the wild plants’. Nearly a third of the world’s cacti (仙人掌) are facing the threat of extinction, according to a shocking global assessment of the effects.Cacti are an important provider of food and water to desert wildlife ranging from wolves and deer to tortoises, bats and birds, and these fauna spread the plants’seeds in return.But the International Union for the Conservation of Nature (IUCN)’s first worldwide health check of the plants says that they are coming under huge pressure from human activities such as land use changes, commercial and residential developments and shrimp farming. But the paper said the driver of cacti species extinction was the “uncontrolled collection of live plants and private decorating collections, and annual agriculture.”The findings were described as “disturbing” by Inger Anderson, the IUCN’s director-general. “They confirm that the scale of the illegal wildlife trade, including the trade in plants is much greater than we had previously thought, and that wildlife illegal trade concerns many more species than the elephants which tend to receive global attention.”Cacti are almost always delicious but unlike most others, they store water in their stems alone, enabling them to survive extreme draughts. The plants can be as small as one centimeter in diameter and grow above 19 meters in height. Well over half of the species are used by humans for display decoration, food or medicine. Almost 1,500 types of cacti were surveyed by the IUCN specialists over a five-year period, mostly in America.Dealing with the illegal trade is a hard task as they can be hidden in suitcases or even socks. While countries such as Peru have made progress in blocking the illegal trade, the IUCN is calling for more strictly carrying out the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species (Cites) in the “hotspots’’ of Uruguay, Brazil and Chile. Mexico has made advances but still has work to do, according to Goettsch.25. What does the third paragraph mainly tell us?A. What causes cacti species extinctionB. What gives people pressureC. What IUCN has foundD. What farmers have planted26. In Inger Anderson’s opinion, _____________.。

After I left school and started to work as a nurse, I became economically independent. M: Do you get along well with them?W: Yes. Many young people today say they have nothing in common with their parents. But I’m very lucky because I get along well with them.

It’s ridiculous.(3) Why do you think your parents are so strict with you?Answer: My parents grew up in very traditional families. I think they are still suspicious about modern life in the city. I hope that they can learn to relax a bit before I go crazy and run away! 五答：1: She loves and respects them.(Q1: How does the woman feel about her parents?)2.

In my opinion, all are important and necessary.bothLet’s take the competition at school for example. Even a gifted student won’t make a remarkable progress if he is in a class with competition. That’s because competition is a drivingwithoutforce made him go forward. On the other hand, if we don’t cooperate with each other, it’s makingimpossible for us to learn ∧each other.

They buy vast numbers of ne wspapers and magazines and of books --- especially paperbacks, which are still comparatively cheap i n spite of ever-increasing rises in the costs of printing. They still continue to b uy “proper” books, too, printed on good paper and bound（装订）between hard covers.There are many streets in containing shops which specializ e in book-selling. Perhaps the best known of these is in the very heart of . Here bookshops of all sorts and sizes are to be found, fro m the celebrated one which boasts of being “the biggest book shop in the world” to the tiny, dusty little places which seem to have been left over from Dickens’ time. Some of these shops stock, or will obtain, any kind of book, but many of them specialize in second-hand books, in art books, in foreign books, in books on philos ophy, politics or any other of the countless subjects about whi ch books may be written. One shop in this area specializes on ly in books about ballet!Although it may be the most convenient place for Londoners to buy books, is not the cheapest. For the really cheap seco nd-hand books, the collector must venture off the beaten track, to , for example, in the East Central district of London. Here ther e is nothing so impressive as bookshops. The booksellers co me along each morning and pour out their sacks of books ont o small hand carts. And the collectors, some professionals an d some amateurs, have been waiting for them. In places like t his they can still, occasionally, pick up for a few pence an old one that may be worth many pounds.21. “Londoners are great readers” means that __________.A.

It is als o one of the most visited places in the world. Vehicles(车辆)cross the bridge an average of 41 million times each year. More than 1800 hundred million vehicles have used the bridg e since it opened more than 70 years ago.The bridge was painted “International” because that color went well with the natural surroundings. The color also is easier to see in the heavy fog that often covers the area. But the w as not named for its orange color. It was named for the body of water that it crosses，the Golden Gate Strait.The Golden Gate Strait is the entrance to the San Francisco Bay from the Pacific Ocean. The Golden Gate Bridge links th e city of San Francisco with Marin County，California.Planning for the bridge began in the 1920s when the area ar ound was growing. People living in the area needed another way to get to the city besides small ferries(渡船)．Joseph Strauss was the chief engineer for the project. Work began in 1934. Mr. Strauss demanded the strongest safety pr otections in the history of bridge building. These included the f irst use of “hard hats” to protect the workers' heads and speci al glasses to protect their eyes.A special safety net was suspended(挂)under the bridge. Th is net saved the lives of 19 men during the construction. How ever，11 other workers were killed when they fell from the bridge thr ough the net. Still，this was a new safety record for the time. The opened in 1937.It extends 1280 meters across the wat er. The total length is 2737 meters.

He lived in in the 1800s. In 1882, Johnson had an idea. It would chan ge the look of Christmas forever.Johnson worked as a boss at a technology company. In 1871, he hired a young man to work for him. The man's name was Thomas Edison. Edison was a great worker. He came up with many new ideas. Later, Edison left to start his own company. Johnson followed him. Johnson started turning Edison's ideas into money. In 1880, Edison invented the light bulb. No one k new how much it was worth. At the time, most homes did not have the electricity to power it. However, Johnson helped star t a company to sell the bulbs.Before long, Mr. Johnson had a bright idea. Christmas trees w ere very popular. They were so beautiful because of their can dles. Flickering (闪烁的) flames were perfect for Christmas. But they were also dan gerous. They could easily start a fire.Mr. Johnson thought of a way to fix this. He set up a Christma s tree by one of his windows. Then he took 80 colored light bu lbs and hung them around it. The lights were red, white and bl ue. People on the street stopped to look. They admired the sh ining Christmas tree. It was so popular that Johnson made it atradition. Each year he added more lights. In 1884, there wer e 120 light bulbs on his tree. The lights were not cheap. In 19 00, a string of 16 bulbs cost $12. That was a lot of money bac k then, because people made less. In today's money, that is a bout $350. But over time, they started to cost less. By the 193 0s, colored light bulbs were everywhere.Today millions of light sets are sold in each year. They light 80 million homes. Some of them are now used for other holid ays too. They are used on Halloween and Valentine's Day. Bu t it all started with Johnson's Christmas tree.28. What do we know about Edward Hibberd Johnson?A. he came up with the idea for Christmas tree lightsB. he employed Thomas Edison to invent the light bulb.C. he adovacated setting up a Christmas tree in .D. he built up a company to provide electricity for many home s.29. Johnson used colored light bulbs to replace tree candles mainly to_______.A. develop a new traditionB. make a Christmas tree saf erC. to make Christmas popularD. to attract people to his c ompany30. Why didn’t people decorate their Christmas trees with light s in the early 1900s?A. The light bulbs were not available on the market.B. They preferred candles to colored light bulbs.C. People didn’t know much about electricity.D. They couldn’t afford to pay for the light bulbs第二节（共5小题，每小题2分，满分10分）A. Discuss the issues at once.B. Accept the need of private space.C.

Share your cleaning work togetherHow to Become Best Friends with Your DormmatesYou have never shared a room with anyone and now you ar e scared and confused. But do you know that student years ar e one of the most exciting and memorable? When I was a stu dent I met lots of great people and my best friend as well. Sha ring a room with absolutely unknown person might be challen ging at first, but it will be a priceless experience in your life. Check out several tips on how to become best friends you’re yo ur dormmates.31. ____________This is the essential rule of any good relationship. Make a li st of the things that are/aren’t allowed to both of you and stick to it. Decide on the studying time, cleaning and visiting hours. Not only will it make your routine easier, but can also help to a void misunderstandings and quarrels. It’s important to talk ab out male guests and overnight visitors. If needed, you may set some rules for your visitors. When I was a student, our room was frequently full of friends and visitors, but I tried not to turn it into the social center.32. ____________You will escape many fights if you start talking about the pro blem once you feel it’s necessary. When you accumulate the l ittle things, they grow bigger and chances are you will say a lo t of unpleasant things you don’t really mean. Your dormmates simply cannot know or notice some things. That’s why negoti ations are always the right thing to consider. My dormmate wa s always forgetting to take away her wet towel from the dress er and it was just unbearable. When she performed the same thing for several times, I explained that it was a bit irritating an d an annoying bad habit. That’s it.33. ___________Common memories and experience are the right things that pull people together. You are newcomers and you have no id ea about the territory of the campus. So why not explore the c ampus together? Generally speaking, any activity you can sh are will be of advantage. You can become workout buddies or you may turn out to be the fans of the same band.34. ____________I really appreciate togetherness and I was always a good mi xer, but sometimes even such an easy going person like me n eeds some personal space and me-time. You spend every minute together and you need to take a break once in a while. It’s absolutely okay. Discuss this que stion with your dormmates well in advance so that you won’t h ave any problems during the school year.35. ____________This tip will help you to get along with the dormmate and will help you go far in life as well. Your dormmates may be from o ther countries with different traditions, religion and views. Be c areful with the stereotypes and prejudgment, your ideas about the subject may be superficial and incorrect. Most probably y our overseas dormmates will need some help during the perio d of adaptation to the new surrounding and life style. Sharinga room with an international student is a unique chance to lea rn another culture and language. Don’t miss it!第三部分语言运用第一节完型填空（共20小题，每小题1.5分，满分30分） Last week I stopped at a red light.
