阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C、D)中，选出最佳选项。

A

Cleverness is a gift while kindness is a choice．Gifts are easy—they’re given after a11．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 all online bookstore with millions of titles was very exciting to me. I had just turned 30 years old，and 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 all 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 good ides，but it would be an even better idea for someone who didn’t already have a good job．”That 1ogic 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 ultimately，I decided I had to give it a shot．I didn’t think I’d regret 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 underlinedentence?

B．He would be very excited if he tried it out．

C．Be would be always having a doubt if he didn’t try．

D．The decision to not try the online bookstore would terrify him．

23．We can know from the passage that_______．

A．the boss thought the idea was suitable for the author

B．the author wanted someone else to try the idea

C．the author might not regret if he failed the idea

D．the author might go back to his boss if he failed

24．Which of the following would be the best title for the passage?

B

CANYOUIMAGINEHOWHARDITWOULDBETOREADSENTENCESLIKETHIS?Every one of us gets so used to punctuation marks that not many of us give them a second thought．Actually，the ancient Greeks wrote this way．The lack of punctuation marks probably didn’t bother good readers，though．As they read，they just put pauses where they fit best. Also at this time，sentences switched directions．A sentence read from left to right．The next one read right to left，and then left to right again，etc．The ancient Romans sometimes punctuated like this：They put something that can separate words in a sentence．The word punctuation actually comes from this idea and the Latin word“punctum”which means a lot.

When the 5th century arrived，there were just two punctuation marks：spaces and points．The spaces separated words while the points showed pauses in reading．Then in the 13th century，a printer named Aldus Manutius tried to standardize punctuation．He always used a period for a complete stop at the end of a sentence．He used a slash(／)to indicate a short pause．Over time．that slash was shortened and curled，and it became the modern comma(逗号)．

Since that time，other marks have enlarged the punctuation family．The exclamation mark(感叹号)comes from the Latin word“io”．It means “exclamation of joy”.The question mark originally started out as the Latin word“questio”，meaning“question”．Eventually，scholars put it at the end of a sentence to show a question．

Punctuation even keeps changing nowadays．New marks are coming into existence，and old punctuation marks are used in new ways．Take for example the“interrobang”．This 1962 invention combines the question mark and exclamation mark for times when writers want both．For example．“She did what?!”or“How much did you pay for that dress?!”Obviously, the interrobang is not widely used or recognized yet，but its invention shows that English is not yet finished with its punctuation．

25．From the first paragraph，we can know that__________.

A．good readers had trouble reading without punctuation marks

B．a sentence always read from left to right in ancient Greece

C．ancient Greeks switched the direction of punctuation marks

D．the use of punctuation marks can date back to ancient times

26．We can learn from the passage that___________．

A．ancient Romans didn’t use any punctuation marks

B．exclamation and question marks came from Latin

C．spaces and slashes were already used before the 5th century

D．Aldus Manutius fast started to use commas

27．What can be concluded from the last paragraph?

A．The combination of two marks will not work.

B．It takes time for people to accept new punctuation marks．

C．Old punctuation marks need to be standardized．

D．Punctuation marks are still changing today．

C

The stories we share with one another are important．They show wisdom，and provide inspiration. They are important to our development. But sometimes people chose not to tell.

Consider the negative effects of not sharing a story in the news：People are wondering if public health officials are holding back too much information about the recent outbreak of Ebola．

There is a danger in holding back stories that ought to be told．Bobette Buster said it like this，“The fact is，history has shown us that stories not told an become like a dangerous genie(妖怪)left in a bottle．When they are finally uncorked，their power to destroy is set free。”

There are a number of reasons why we hide parts of our story：they often show our weaknesses or expose our disadvantages；they require courage and strength to share；and of course，there are some stories that should be kept secret—especially those that embarrass someone else．

Most of us have two selves：the one we display on the outside and the one we actually are on the inside．And the better we get at hiding the stories that show our true selves，the more damage we may be causing to ourselves and to others．

Honesty and openness is important：It proves we are trustworthy. It displays we are human．We are not perfect or better．It highlights the importance of hard work and personal development．Hard work may not allow us to overcome our disadvantages completely．But with hard wonk：we do not have to be restricted to our mistakes．

Does this mean we admit every weakness，every disadvantage，and every secret regret to everybody we meet? No，of course not．There is a time and a place and a certain level of relationship

necessary for some stories to be told in all appropriate manner．

28．What’s the function of the example in Paragraph 2?

A. It reflects that people are concerning about the spread of Ebola．

B. It shows the bad effect caused by sharing a story．

C．It proves not sharing a story can cause trouble．

D．It concludes that one should share a story at a proper time．

29. One of the reasons why people are unwilling to share experiences is that______．

A．story-sharing highlights the importance of hard work

B．people are used to exposing their weaknesses

C．people sometimes have no courage to share their stories

D．some stories make themselves feel sad

30．Which is close in meaning to the underlined word“uncorked”in Paragraph 3?

A．freed B．broken C．unfolded D．untouched

31.The writer aims to convince us to_____________．

A．be open to people close to you by sharing some secrets

B．share stories appropriately for the good of others and ourselves

C．remove the dangers that can be caused by untold stories

D．realize the importance of being honest when making friends

D

For as long as they can remember Jynne Martin and April Surgent had both dreamed of going to Antarctica．This winter，they each made it to the icy continent as guests of the National Science Foundation(NSF)．Bm they didn’t go as scientists．Martin is a poet and Surgent is an artist．They went to Antarctica as participants．in the NSF’s Artists and Writers program．The NSF is the government agency that funds scientific research in Antarctica．But it also makes it possible for artists，including filmmakers and musicians，to experience Antarctica and contribute their own points of view to our understanding of the continent.

The mixing of science and art in Antarctica isn’t new．Some of the earliest explorers brought along painters and photographers．Edward Wilson was a British painter，doctor，and bird expert who journeyed with Robert Falcon Soott on two separate Antamtic expeditions more than 100 years ago．Herbert Ponting was a photographer who also accompanied Scott on one of those expeditions．In hundreds of photos，Ponting captured the beauty of the continent and recorded the daily lives and heroic struggles of the explorers．

Today’s scientists write articles for scientific journals．Unlike the early explorers’journals，scientific papers can now be very difficult for non-scientists to understand．Writers in Antarctica work to explain the

research to the public．Peter Rejcek is editor，writer，and photographer for the Antarctic Sun，an online magazine devoted to news about the U．S．Antarctic Program．Rejeck began his career in the Antarctic in 2003 by spending a year at the South Pole．He has returned every year since，interviewing，scientists about research at Palmer，McMurdo，and South Pole stations．

There are also scientists in Antarctica who work hard to explain their research to the public．Scientist Diane McKnight wrote The Lost Seal，a children’s book that explains the research she and others are doing in an unusual ice-free area in Antarctica called the Dry Valleys．

Antarctica is full of stories and wonders that are scientific，historic．and personal. People such as Martin，Surgent，Rejcek，and McKnight are devoted to bringing those stories to as many people are they can.“Some people are going to be scientists，some people are going to be journalists，some people are going to be artists，but we can all work together，’says Surgent,“to celebrate，this extraordinary place．”32．What do we know about the NSF?

A．It is a government agency．

B．It only funds scientists in Antarctica．

C．It encourages the understanding of human nature．

D．It enables the mixing of science and art for the first time．

33．Why didn’t some earliest explorers bring writers along?

A．Writers were not funded at that time．

B．Writing can’t capture the beauty of the continent．

C．Writers were not interested in popularizing science．

D．Early explorers’journals can be easily understood by the public．

34．By mentioning Diane McKnight，the author may try to suggest that_____．

A．scientists should explain their research to children

B．writers are not necessary since scientists can tell stories as well

C．telling stories to children is more important than knowing the truth

D．no matter what role we play，we can work together to appreciate Antarctica

35．What would be the best title for this article?

A．Antarctica：A Land for A11 B．The NSF：A Program for All

C．Antarctica：A Land of Beauty and Stories D．The NSF：A Program for Artists and Scientists

根据短支内容，从文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。

Sometimes willpower is a lot like the television remote control hard to find just when you want it most．36 But there are ways to increase your willpower．

Don’t try to change your economic situation，win a promotion and lose weight all on the same

morning．Set one clear，specific goal and make a realistic plan to achieve it. Extra willpower sometimes requires extra energy，so don’t spread yourself too thin．37

Whatever your goal is，don’t expect to achieve it overnight．38 ，If you are trying to kick a coffee habit，start by replacing your morning cup of coffee with a glass of water, instead of promising never to drink coffee again．Congratulate yourself on the small achievements．These successes help your willpower grow．

39 Ask friends，family or colleagues for assistance and tell them exactly how they can help．If your credit card bills have risen，for instance，let friends now that you are cutting back on expenses．Suggest having a common dinner instead of meeting at an expensive restaurant．Find support group or organization related to your goal and attend their meeting．You can get valuable advice, understanding and information．If possible，change your environment to encourage positive behavior．Want to get in shape? Keep a set of workout clothes in your office as a reminder to stop by the gym on the way home. Quitting smoking? 40 A．Real success takes time．

B．Focus on one goat at a time．

C．Change your environment to change your life．

D．Improve your willpower by a support network．

E．Changing your behavior requires more than willpower．

F．Avoid bars or restaurants where you might be attracted to light up．

G．Breaking a bad habit or forming a new and healthy one can be difficult．
