Ⅰ.阅读理解
On September 10, 2018, Jack Ma, founder and chairman of Chinese e-commerce giant
Alibaba, announced his successor (继任者) at the company. Surprisingly, in a country where
70 to 80 percent of private companies are still family run, Mr. Ma did not name a family
member. Rather, one of the world's largest e-commerce companies will be led by Daniel
Zhang, an 11year Alibaba old hand chosen only for his “professional talent”．
The history of many countries can be marked by a trend away from dependence on
family succession in business, or the belief that qualities of leadership flow through
bloodlines. Ma is a true innovator (创新者) in many ways, most famous for building an
innovative online shopping market worth more than the economies of most countries. But
his legacy (遗产) may lie in showing how China as well as much of Asia can produce
founders of successful organizations unwilling to pass the torch to relatives.
“Alibaba was never about Jack Ma，” he stated in announcing his succession plan.
Instead, the former schoolteacher who came from lowly origins is stepping back from
day-to-day operations because he has built a system that takes root in a company culture
based on innovation, transparency, and responsibility. “For the last 10 years, we kept
working on these ingredients，” he stated.
The company's future will depend on developing a wealth of talent that drives
innovation, he said. And in a society with a long tradition of cautious distrust toward those
outside the family circle, Ma has built an “architecture of trust” with customers, who
number over half a billion. Chinese now readily rely on Alibaba's online payment system, its
ratings of products and services, and other trust-building systems or methods pioneered by
the company.
China's rapid growth now produces a new billionaire almost every day. Many of them,
like Ma, have favored systems of management based on talent and honesty. As many
countries have discovered as they progress, it is better to swim in a talent pool, not a gene
pool.

A city in the jungle
In the summer of 1848, in Guatemala, a man called Ambrosio Tut went out into the 第 3 页 共 5 页
jungle (丛林), as he did almost every day. Tut was a gum (树胶) collector, looking for gum in
the jungle. __1__ One day, he got to the top of one tree and something caught his eye. He
looked out across the trees and saw the tops of some old buildings.
__2__ He ran to tell the local governor excitedly, and together they walked into the
jungle. There they found Tikal, the city that the Mayans had built, many hundreds of years
before. The two men saw pyramids (金字塔), squares and houses.
For a long time before that day, local people had known that somewhere in the jungle
there was an old Mayan city. __3__ Between 200 and 900 AD, the city of Tikal had been the
centre of Mayan civilisation (文明) in the area, but then the Mayans left it — nobody knows
why! After 1,000 AD, the jungle began to cover it. __4__
Seven years before Tut found Tikal, two British explorers had gone to Guatemala and
had written a report about Mayan treasures in the jungle — but they hadn't mentioned
