They didn't even want to see me. For the last time, I went to the teachers' college which was regarded as the third class of my city. I applied jobs for 30 timesA lot of people said Alibaba was a terrible model. As I said, "I believe it. I think this thing could be big. I never thought it would be so big like today. "I believe that something, something is waiting for me there, and I have to work hard to prove myself. That was the tough experience. So we gathered 50 thousand US dollars from 18 founders. Little by little, we built up our business. And now, after 16 years, we have a Alibaba group; We have a T-mall group; We have a Taobao group; We have Alipay."You are so smart, how could you make a company like that? People asked. Bill Gates, Warren Buffet, the Jack Welch, Larry Page, Mark Zuckerberg, the difference between those people and other people, they are always optimistic（乐观的）for the future. They never complain. They always try to solve the problems of the others. When you are optimistic, it's always an opportunity （机会）."Jack, Where's the opportunity? I don't have a job. I don't have this. I don't have that." We are at the best of time of this century. The best asset（财产）you have is that you are young. Don't complain. Let the other people complain. The opportunity lies, always lies where people complain. I saw a lot of people, especially young people have fantastic ideas every evening. But the next morning, they go to the office on time again.Tomorrow is new. Make the move. Make action. Whether investors（投资者）believe this or not, whether your friends believe it or not, whether your parents believe it or not, that's not important. You believe it. Your team believe it and work day and night on this. Everything happens. Make enough mistakes. You fall, and you stand up. Any mistake is an income and a wonderful revenue（收益）. Don't worry about the money. Money follows the people. Young people should follow the dreams. If you have a dream, just to go ahead.（1）How many successful people did the writer talk about from the article?A. 4B. 5C. 6D. 7（2）The underlined word "tough" in the second paragraph mainly means _______ in English.A. difficultB. easyC. differentD. same（3）According to the article, which of the following statements is Wrong?A.

ALondon Underground and New York Subway are the best known public transport systems in the world. The two systems have many things in common, but there are also important differences.The following table shows some of the similarities and differences.Background London Underground New York Subway Number of lines(路线) 12 25Route miles 253 233Work hours 20 hours/day 24 hours/dayPassengers/year 1 billion 1.3 billionCrashes in last 10 years None At least sixFrequency(频率) Every 2 minutes in rush hour Every 1.55--10 minutesduring rush hour51.

There are more lines in New York than in London.BGeorge is a rich man. He likes playing jokes. On Christmas Eve, he wanted to give his housekeeper Jack a big present.He told Jack, “There are four bo wls of thick soup here. I put two gold coins in one of the bowls. Dear Jack, let’s see if you’re lucky.”Jack wanted the gold coins very much, but he was not sure which bowl was the right one. He began to eat some soup from the first bowl.Suddenly, he felt the gold coins should be in the second bowl, so he turned to it and had half the soup.He then ate half the soup in the third bowl, too. After that he started to get a little worried.At last, he changed his mind. He ate half of the soup in the fourth bowl with much difficulty — at this moment Jack was too full to eat any more.In the end, he didn’t get even one gold coin.In fact, George had put two coins in each bowl. If Jack could finish just one bowl of soup, then he would find at least two gold coins.54. What did George want to give Jack as a Christmas present?A. Gold coins.B. Delicious soup.C. A gold bowl.D. Four bowls of gold coins.55. Why did Jack keep having the soup?A. Because he was very hungry.B. Because he enjoyed the soup.C. Because he was very patient.D. Because he wanted the coins.56.

Because Jack chose the wrong bowl for the first time.CIn nearly every language, two words rhyme with each other when they have the same ending sound, like “think” and “pink”. The last word in each of the lines of a poem does not have to have a rhyming sound. But many of them do. Two lines of poetry that rhyme with each other at the end are called a rhyming couplet(对句).Writing rhyming poetry can be difficult because you need to choose words that not only rhyme, but have meaning too. Even though some poems are short, you have to think extra long about which words to choose. Here is an example of a short poem.He was only a bug, but he was the king.She smiled at him when he gave her a ring.He forgot to be careful of one little thing.His queen was a bee, and she could sting.If you love singing, it will not be difficult for you to find rhymes in lyrics(歌词) in both English and Chinese songs. Rhymes can make the songs sound more beautiful. Sometimes we may find a song lyric is just a poem. So perhaps we can say a lyricist of songs must be a poet.57. What does it mean when two words rhyme?A. They must have the same meaning.B. They must have the same letters.C. They must have the same sound at the end.D. They must have the same rhyming couplet.58. Which two words rhyme with each other in the given short poem?A. Ring and thing.B. All and ball.C. Queen and king.D. Singing and dancing.59. Rhyming poetry is something hard to write because you need to choose .A. two lines with rhymingB. rhyming words with meaningC. the same words with rhymingD. two words with the same meaning60. According to the passage, we can know_________.A. A lyricist can write beautiful poemsB. We can hardly find rhymes in words of songsC. Rhyming happens in only English and ChineseD. The last word in each line of a poem must rhyme with each otherDI’m learning English in the UK where I meet a lot of new friends and eat something delicious. Hot pot is many Chinese people’s favourite food, including me. After having three days of hamburgers, sandwiches and potatoes in the UK, How excited I was to know that there was going to be a free meal of hotpot to welcome the new students. On the way to the canteen, I seemed to smell the hot pot in the air.To my surprise, when I stepped into the room, in front of me were still potatoes and bread. Where was the hot pot?With many questions in my head, I sat down to have the free meal. After talking with a French girl, I got to know that hot pot is completely different from hotpot. Chinese hot pot is written in two words and hotpot, one word, is a traditional English dish.Hotpot is made from mutton(羊肉) and onion(洋葱). On the top there are sliced potatoes. People put it in the oven(炉子) all day in a heavy pot and on a low heat. You can often see it at parties in the UK because it’s easy to prepare for a large number of people and is not expensive.Hotpot doesn’t taste bad. However, I still miss hot pot, two words!61.

And more than 100 teens work there，too．For their hard work，the Gargiulo kids are paid﹩15 per hour．After working there for seven years，Phillip has saved﹩3，000．He's planning to use it to buy a car one day，and to help pay for college．Having a family business means much more than making money．It also means making sacrifices．"Growing up，it was good and bad，" says Phillip's mom．She's been working at the orchard since she was 4 years old．"From August to Halloween，I would be busy．In high school，you want to be with your friends，out doing other things．That wasn't always possible when I had to be at the orchard．"Phillip，too，sees both sides．"I'm learning how to run a business，and I'm learning what hard work is really all about，" he says．He admits，though，that some mornings，when his alarm clock goes off in the early morning，he'd rather be sleeping in or playing baseball with friends．"But I'm learning to do things that I will need for the rest of my life，" he says．"And I'm spending time with my family．I love it．"71.Phillip gets up early every weekend to ______ ．A. finish his homeworkB. do the work for his familyC. prepare for a soccer gameD. go for a run in the morning72.What does Phillip do on a good weekend in Masker？______A. To plant some apple trees．B. To work on math problems．C. To play baseball with friends．D. To count apples and take the money．73.What can we learn from this passage？______A. Getting something probably means giving up something．B. It's necessary to make money as early as possible．C. Growing up means doing what you want to do．D. There is nothing more important than parents．CAs the world's population continues to increase，so does the amountof global waste people produce．According to data collected by theWorld Bank Group，nations are on pace to produce 4 billion tons ofwaste every year by 2100．Many experts are calling the problem ofglobal waste a worldwide health crisis（危机）because it is ruining theworld's oceans，air and soil and endangering the health of all living things．For years，governments have been telling people that living a zero-waste lifestyle is the way to go．One example of this is what's often called the three R's：reduce，reuse，recycle．In that case，less money is spent on waste management．Such positive effects on an economy（经济）-as a result of applying the basic rules of reduce，reuse and recycle-is known as a circular economy．Now some stores are helping people do that．Sometimes，grocery stores produce waste when they throw away food including fruit and vegetables that don't look good any more．In other cases，it's packaged food that is nearing the "sell-by" date printed on the package which is not considered safe to eat．To solve this problem，business people are opening smaller zero-waste stores．Instead of selling food in packages，these stores offer it in open containers．Customers bring their own bags or clean containers to the store．There，they fill their bags or containers with everything from nuts and rice to oil and sauce．They pay for only the amount of each product that they need．Zero-waste stores often sell fruit and vegetables as well．When these goods start to look old，they're sold at a discount or donated to a charity．Inspired by these smaller zero-waste stores，some large supermarkets are taking similar steps to reduce the amount of waste that they produce．By following a circular system，more products than ever are being produced using recycled materials．For example，used tires（轮胎）can be recovered to pave roads，while plastic is reused to make new plastic products．Environmentally- friendly decisions like these help to protect and save natural resources，reduce pollution，save landfill space and even create new job opportunities．Recycling can truly turn garbage into gold．74.What is the main purpose of the first paragraph？______A. To explain the experts' opinion．B. To discuss the reason of the problem．C. To draw people's attention on the problem．D. To introduce a research of the World Bank Group．75.We can infer from the passage that ______ ．A. grocery stores sell bad-looking food cheaperB. some supermarkets will sell food without packagesC. governments decided to spend less money on recyclingD. customers will pay for the containers in zero-waste stores76.Which of the following would be the best title for the passage？______A. Zero Waste，Full Recycle．B. Less Garbage，More Gold．C. Global Waste，a Worldwide Crisis．D. Zero-waste Stores，Garbage Killer．DWhat Is Success The Oxford English Dictionary defines（定义）the word success as "the fact that you have achieved something that you want and have been trying to do or get；the fact of becoming rich or famous or of getting a high social position"．Some rankings（排行榜）put Albert Einstein，Michael Jackson，Bill Gates and Steve Jobs as among the most successful people in the world．What Michael Jackson did for music is the same as what Albert Einstein did for physics．All of them do have greatly influenced the industries or media to which they belonged．J．K．Rowling，the author of the famous Harry Potter novels．She created a magical world that sold more than 500 million books and became hit movies．With an estimated（估算的）net worth of ﹩650 million in 2017，she certainly goes for the dictionary definition of success，but for her it didn't come easy．Having no job，raising her child alone，she was refused by publishers about a dozen times before one took a chance on her．This is what people love：the rags-to-riches success story．In comparison with Rowling，the Dutch artist Vincent van Gogh practically suffered a lot in life to make ends meet．When he was alive，he only sold one painting even though he created more than 2，000 works of art．Van Gogh died when he was 37 years old and with very little money to his name．However，in 1990，his painting Portrait of Dr．Gachet sold for ﹩82.5 million，which has a value today of around ﹩137 million．So，the question is：Is Van Gogh considered successful even though he died poor？Besides the dictionary definitions，different people have competing ideas of what success really means．Often times the most agree on the same characteristics that make a person a success．A financial magazine named Inc．points to the following qualities that make a person successful：Drive，Confidence，Patience，Honesty，Passion…Success isn't always about getting a lot of money or fans，even though those are the stories we see most often．There are other people who we may not know well，but who have achieved success in their own right．One perfect example is mothers．They spent days，months，and years teaching their children from birth to young adulthood．If a child grows up to be a kind，helpful，thoughtful and considerate adult，can the mother consider herself a success？Perhaps success really is subjective，and it's up to people to define it for themselves．However，one thing seems to be in complete agreement when we search for the definition and can be best summed up by Steve Jobs，who said，"If you really look closely，most overnight successes took a long time．"77.The word " rags-to-riches" in Paragraph 2 probably means " ______ "．A. winning success from luckB. turning talent into treasureC. gaining money from honorD. rising from poorness to wealth78.The writer mentions Vincent van Gogh to show that ______ ．A. success is through lonelinessB. success is beyond time and spaceC. success is to take the life-changing opportunityD. success is to achieve something you want and try79.What can we learn from the passage？______A. Most successes happen overnight if we look closely．B. What makes people successful is the strong mind and body．C. A child growing to be a gentle adult can be the mother's success．D. Albert Einstein makes greater achievement than Michael Jackson．80.The writer probably agrees that people should ______ ．A. reorder the rankings of the world's most successful peopleB. reach an agreement of what makes a person successC. recognize and appreciate different kinds of successD. drive themselves to set great goals for successEIn your school，are you allowed to choose the subjects you want to learn？Of course，the answer is "No" here in China．In America there is a school trying something new．At a high school in Florida，students will be able to choose their own classes．We all know that some students are better at some subject than others．Some students plan to go on to college，while others will not．At this school students are able to find subjects they are interested in，and possibly even find the field（领域）they would like to go into after school．They are allowed to choose a subject like biology，math，a foreign language，or study skills like computer or car repair（修理）．Some people think this is a good idea，because it helps students think about what they want to do in the future，and the school helps to give them the knowledge and skills needed to get there．They say that giving the students the chance to choose their own classes make high school more interesting．Others disagree．They think that fourteen-year-old teenagers are too young to know what they will want to do in the future．What do you think？Would you like to be able to choose your own classes？Many useful changes have been made in education，but seeing the differences in each student is also important．How can we help each student become a better student？81.Students at a high school in Florida are allowed to ______ ．A. go on to college without taking examsB. find a part-time job they would like to doC. learn how to make a computer or a carD. choose a subject that they are interested in82.Some people think allowing students to choose their own classes helps them ______ ．A. show how smart they areB. know differences between themC. prepare for their futureD. know their duties in life83.Some people don't agree students should choose their own classes because they think______ ．A. some students are too nervous to make a right decisionB. some students shouldn't be a repair worker in the futureC. some students care little about their own futureD. their children aren't old enough to know what they want to do84.Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage？______A. All the high schools in Florida give the students the chance to choose their own classes．B. Some people think allowing students to choose their classes can help them find theirown possibilities．C. The school in Florida helps students by giving the knowledge and skills they need．D. In the writer's opinion，it's not important to see the differences in each student in schooleducation．85.What is the best title for the passage？______A. Chinese education．B. A New Way of Education．C. To Change Our Education．D. To Improve Learning Skills．FLet's look at two old but popular inventions we use in our daily life．Band-Aids（创可贴）The first Band-Aid was made by American Earle Dickson in 1921．The idea came to him by chance．Dickson's wife often cut her fingers in the kitchen．At that time gauze（纱布）and adhesive tape （胶带）didn't come together．People had to cut them to the right size．Dickson found they were always too big and soon fell off．So he put a piece of gauze on the centre of a piece of tape．This is how he made the first Band-Aid．Later，Dickson's new inventions became very popular all around the world．Bubble gum（泡泡糖）Bubble gum was invented by accident．In 1928，American gum company worker WalterE．Diemer played around with new chewing gum recipes（食谱）．Chewing gum had already been invented more than half a century before then．But Diemer found that the gum he made was easy to blow．He blew a bubble and then saw the possibilities．He took some of his new gum to a shop and it sold out in a single afternoon．Since then，Dubble Bubble-the first brand of bubble gum-has made kids happy all around the world．86.Josephine often ______ in the kitchen．A. hurt her fingersB. made bubble gumC. played with new recipesD. cut gauze to the right size87.Before the Band-Aid was invented，______ ．A. the gauze and adhesive tape were always smallB. people had to cover the cut with a piece of clothC. people had to be careful to cut the gauze quite bigD. people had to cut the gauze and adhesive tape to the right size88.Bubble gum was invented by an ______ ．A.

If nature sends these warnings, don’t wait for rain. Act right away to keep safe.Steps to keep safeAt the first flash of lightning, quickly get inside a building or a car. Do not go into a shed or baseball dugout. They are not closed like a building, so they are not safe.Even after you are indoors, be careful. It is not smart to go near doors and windows. They can blow in or break. A room with no windows is the safest place to be.Do not wash your hands during a storm. Do not use anything that runs on electricity either. Water and electrical lines are like roads for lightning. Even if you really want to play computer games, don’t! It is better to be bored than to risk getting hurt. Try reading a book instead. Reading is more fun than playing computer games.If you can’t get to somewhere safe, stay out in the open. You may feel safe under a tree, but that is not a good place to be.
