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, _____________.。
