that Web 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 startups 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(最后),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.【语篇解读】聪慧是上天赐予的,而选择却是自己的事情;无论多么聪慧,人都要面临很多的选择,而我们的选择决定我们的一生。1.What inspired him with the idea of building an online bookstore?A.His dream of being an inventor.B.The greatly increasing usage of Web.C.His wife’s encouragement to him.D.The millions of exciting titles.答案B解析细节理解题。根据文章第一段可知,作者创建亚马逊网上书店的想法正是从迅速崛起的网络的使用这一现象而引发的。2.What can we infer from the passage?A.His boss thought the idea was suitable for him.B.He might not regret if he failed the idea.C.He wanted someone else to try the idea.D.He might go back to his boss if he failed.答案B解析推理判断题。根据第二段中的“I didn’t think I’d regret trying and failing.”一句来看,如果尝试失败,作者也不会后悔。3.The underlined word “haunted” in the second paragraph is close to 　　　in meaning. A.remaining in the thoughtsB.kept in the desireC.remaining in a doubtD.kept in a hatred答案A解析词义猜测题。根据上下文的语境来看,即使努力失败,作者也不会后悔;但如果决定不去尝试,可能会一直耿耿于怀,故选A项,即:一直在心头。4.What’s the best title for the passage?A.Cleverness and KindnessB.The Starting of AmazonC.Following My PassionD.We Are What We Choose答案D解析主旨大意题。在文章的开头,作者就透露出:一个人做出自己的决定很难。而在第二段中作者详细讲述了当初创建亚马逊网站时候的艰难抉择;在最后一段中又通过一生奋斗的结果来总结出人生的真谛:我们的选择决定我们的一生。Ⅴ.书面表达假定你是李华,你的美国网友Tim 给你发来邮件,谈到自己前几天第一次尝试使用筷子的经历,并希望了解中国的筷子文化。 请你给他回复邮件,要点如下:1.筷子的材料;2.筷子的历史(起源于3 000多年前的商朝)3.使用筷子的禁忌。注意:1.词数80左右;2.可以适当增加细节,以使行文连贯。__________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________参考范文Dear Tim,It’s amusing to imagine your using chopsticks for the first time.For a foreigner,it is not easy to use chopsticks skillfully.Chopsticks are commonly used in China.Though many kinds of materials can be used to make chopsticks,most chopsticks are made of bamboo or wood.The history of using chopsticks dates back to the Shang Dynasty,more than 3,000 years ago.Chopsticks,as one of Chinese cultural symbols,have played an important role in Chinese diet culture.When using chopsticks,you should know what you can’t do with them.For example,it is considered bad manners to play with chopsticks or click them together.Come to China and experience our unique diet culture.Yours,Li HuaⅥ.读后续写阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。续写的词数应为150左右。Once,when I was a teenager my father and I were standing in line to buy tickets for the circus.Finally there was only one family between us and the ticket counter.This family made a big impression on me.There were eight children,all probably under the age of twelve.You could tell they didn’t have a lot of money.Their clothes were not expensive,but they were clean.The children were well-behaved,all of them standing in line,two-by-two behind their parents,holding hands.They were excitedly talking about the clowns,elephants and other acts they would see that night with their brothers or sisters in a low voice.One could sense they had never been to the circus before.It promised to be a highlight of their young lives.The father and mother were at the head of the pack,standing proud as they could be.The mother was holding her husband’s hand,looking up at him as if to say,“You are my knight in shining armor.” He was smiling and responding in pride,looking back at her as if to say “You got that right”.The ticket lady asked the father how many tickets he wanted.He proudly responded “please let me buy eight children’s tickets and two adult tickets so I can take my family to the circus.”The ticket lady gave the price.The man’s wife let go of his hand,lowered her head and her lips began to shake.The father leaned a little closer and asked,“How much did you say?” The ticket lady again told him the price.The man obviously didn’t have enough money.How was he supposed to turn and tell his eight children that he didn’t have enough money to take them to the circus?Actually we were not wealthy in any sense,so I understand how the kids would feel.I felt sorry for them.Paragraph 1:Seeing what was going on,my dad seemed to have an idea. __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________Paragraph 2:That day my father and I went back to our car.__________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________参考范文Paragraph 1:Seeing what was going on,my dad seemed to have an idea.He put a $20 bill on the ground.Then he picked it up and tapped the man on the shoulder and said,“Excuse me,sir,this fell out of your pocket.” The man turned around and saw the money.He knew what was going on.He looked straight into my dad’s eyes,took my dad’s hand in both of his,squeezed tightly onto the $20 bill,and with his lip shaking and a tear running down his cheek,he replied,“Thank you,thank you,sir.This really means a lot to me and my family.”Paragraph 2:That day my father and I went back to our car.We didn’t go to the circus that night.When I asked Dad why he did so,Dad said,“My child,it was a desperate,heartbreaking and embarrassing situation for a father.Surely he wasn’t begging for a handout,but he reminded me of my father,when I was young.” He paused for a while,as if wandering in his memory.“We should appreciate what we have obtained from life and seize every opportunity to help others.” We didn’t go to the circus that night,but we didn’t care.
