Gifts are easy – they’re given after all. Choices can be hard.” –– Jeff BezosI got the idea to start Amazon 16 years ago. I came across the fact that the Internet usage was growing at 2,300 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, 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 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 good idea, but it would be an even better idea for someone who didn’t already 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 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 choices.24. What inspired the author with the idea of building an online bookstore? A. His dream of being an inventor. B. The greatly increasing usage of the Internet. C. The support of his wife. D. Millions of exciting titles.25. 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. He would be always having a doubt if he didn’t try. D. The decision to not try the online bookstore would terrify him.26. 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 go back to his boss if he failedD. the author might not regret if he failed the idea27. Which of the following would be the best title for the passage? A. Cleverness and Kindness B. The Starting of AmazonC. Following My Passion D. We Are What We ChooseCMr. Lon Lee Alle is from Singapore. He was recently visiting an Indonesian island so he could see the famous Komodo dragons. Mr. Lon did not want to pay for a tour guide，but he really wanted to take some close-up photos of the dragons when they were eating. Like most wild animals，Komodo dragons do not like to be disturbed when food is around. They turned on Mr. Lon and one of them took a large bite out of his leg. He was rushed to hospital by speedboat. Luckily，he survived.Komodo dragons are the largest and heaviest lizards(蜥蜴) in the world. They can only be found on a few Indonesian islands including Komodo Island. They have lived on earth for a very long time and remain killing and eating machines. They have a very strong sense of smell which they use to help find their next meal. They will eat almost anything they find. Even though Komodo dragons can run up to 20 kilometers per hour，they prefer to wait for their kill. When the attack does come，the dragon attacks the animal's feet first，knocking it over. Then，its sharp and fearsome teeth pull the animal to pieces. These teeth contain small pieces of meat from meals it has already eaten and are filled with bacteria—sometimes up to 60 different types. One bite will cause an infection in the wounded animal that will lead to a very painful death a few days later. The Komodo dragon will follow the animal，waiting for it to fall down. It has recently been discovered that Komodo dragons also have venom(毒液) in their mouth. The venom causes animals to bleed to death—if the infection does not get it first. Today，there are about 4,000 Komodo dragons in the wild. Five people have been killed and 30 injured by dragon bites in the past 40 years.28. What happened to Mr. Lon Lee Alle?A．He was fooled by the tour guide.B．He was seriously injured by a Komodo dragon.C. He paid a lot to take Komodo dragons' photos.D. He got lost on an Indonesian island.29．What purpose does Paragraph 1 serve in the text?A．To start a discussion.B．To bring up the topic.C．To provide an explanation.D．To offer basic knowledge of the topic.30. What do we know about Komodo dragons?A．They're native to Indonesia.B．They're impatient hunters.C．They're picky about food.D．They're really smelly.31．What is Paragraph 3 mainly about?A．How Komodo dragons survive after being attacked.B．How Komodo dragons' venom kills an animal.C．How Komodo dragons hunt for food.D．How Komodo dragons infect other animals. DClothing rental is a hot new industry and retailers (零售商) are demanding to get on board in hopes of attracting green shopper.But is renting fashion actually more environmentally-friendly than buying it, and if so, how much more? Journalist and author Elizabeth Cline investigated (调查) this question and concluded that it's not as sustainable as it seems.Take shipping, for example, which has to go two ways if an item is rented — receiving and returning. Cline writes that consumer transportation has the second largest carbon footprint of our collective fashion habit after manufacturing.She writes, ''An item ordered online and then returned can send out 20 kilograms of carbon each way, and increases up to 50 kilograms for rush shipping. By comparison, the carbon impact of a pair of jeans purchased from a physical store and washed and worn at home is 33.4 kilograms, according to a 2015 study by Levi's.''Then there's the burden of washing, which has to happen for every item when it's returned, regardless of whether or not it was worn. For most rental services, this usually means dry cleaning, a high impact and polluting process. All the rental services that Cline looked into have replaced perchloroethylene (氯乙烯), a carcinogenic (致癌的) air pollutant, still used by 70 percent of US dry cleaners, with alternatives, although these aren't great either.Lastly, Cline fears that rental services will increase our appetite for fast fashion, simply because it's so easily accessible. There's something called ''share washing'' that makes people waste more precisely because a product or service is shared and thus is regarded as more eco-friendly. Uber is one example of this, advertised as ''a way to share rides and limit ear ownership.'' and yet ''it has been proven to discourage walking, bicycling, and public transportation use.''Renting clothes is still preferable to buying them cheap and throwing them in the dustbin after a few wears, but we shouldn't let the availability of these services make us too satisfied. There's an even better step — that's wearing what is already in the closet.32. What is Elizabeth Cline's attitude toward clothing rental?A. Approving. B. Unfavorable.C. Objective. D. Enthusiastic.33 The Uber example in Paragraph 6 indicates that .A. rental services are on the riseB. clothing rental will be as successful as UberC. renting clothes might waste more than expectedD. renting clothes might make people lose interest in fast fashion34. The author suggests that we should .A. give up renting any clothingB. purchase inexpensive clothesC. rent clothes rather than buy themD. make full use of clothes we've possessed35. What is the passage mainly about?A. Clothing rental is a new fashion.B. Clothing rental is retailers' preference.C. Renting clothes is not that eco-friendly.D. Renting-clothes business is in a dilemma.第二节 根据短文内容，从短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。(共5小题,每小题 2 分，满分 10 分）Are people less or more happy when they get older? A study in 2018 found that people generally become happier and experience less worry after age 50. In fact, it found that by the age of 85, people are happier with their life than they were at 18.Arthur Stone in the Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Science at Stony Brook University in New York led the study. His team found that levels of stress were the highest among adults between the ages of 22 and 25. 36 Happiness was the highest among the youngest adults and those in their early 70's. But the people least likely to report feeling negative emotions were those in their 70's and 80's. The survey also found that men and women have similar emotional patterns as they grow older. 37 The researchers also considered possible influences like having young children, being unemployed or being single. But they found that influences like these did not affect the levels of happiness and well-being related to age. 38 One theory is that, as people get older, they become more thankful for what they have and have better control of their emotions. They also spend less time thinking about bad experiences. 39 In another study, people in their 80's reported the fewest problems with the quality of their sleep. The original goal was to confirm the popular belief that aging is connected with increased sleep problems. 40 But except for that, people reported that they felt their sleep quality improved as they got older.So why will happiness increase with age?Researchers surveyed more than 150 000 American adults.At that time, the people were between the age of 18 and 25.Stress levels dropped sharply after people reached their 50’s.Happiness is not the only thing that apparently improves with age.The survey did find an increase during middle age, especially in women.However, women at all ages reported more sadness, stress and worry than men.第二部分：完形填空（共20小题；每小题1.5分, 满分30分）阅读下面短文, 从短文后各题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中, 选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。At around 6:30pm local time on April 15th in France, Notre Dame in Paris was getting angry.
