Gifts are easy theyre given after all. 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, 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 finally, 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 underlined sentence? A. The idea of not trying would keep coming to his mind and disturb himB. He would be very excited if he tried it outC. He would be always having a doubt if he didn t tryD. The decision to not try the online bookstore would terrify him23. Which of the following would be the best title for the passage? A. Cleverness and Kindness B. The Starting of Amazon C. Following My Passion D. We Are What We Choose B教育资源教育资源Roughly half of college students will have some degree of depression at some point during their time in school. Even more startling, 6.2 percent of college students surveyed in 2019 considered suicide and 1.3 percent attempted it, according to an American College Health Association study released this spring. If youre feeling depressed on campus, you may find the following tips helpful. Exercise: Physical activity releases endorphins chemicals that produce an overall positive feeling within the body, which fight depression naturally. Mental health experts claim that exercise is a solution to those feeling mild or moderate depression. However, for those severely depressed, simply doing sports is not enough. Use school consulting services: Campuses don t employ mental health experts simply to throw thousands of dollars down the drain. Their job is to help students, so experts recommend you use them. Most students, however, are hesitant to take a trip to their college s counseling center, fearing being laughed at by peers. As a result, some schools like Texas Christian University, are testing students for mental health problems when they get sick and visit the campus health clinic. Take advantage of technology: Staying in touch with family members and friends from childhood and high school has become easier than ever with the coming of Facebook and video chat services like Skype. While mental health experts insist that it s important to make friends in your new environment and be involved in the college community, it s also significant to keep in touch with the people you knew before college. Go to sleep: Following a fairly regular sleep pattern can defend you against depression. In college, many student s sleep patterns are irregular thanks to late-night studying and partying, which is harmful to their mental health. Research strongly suggests that sleep is the key to learning and memory formation. 24. According to the passage, physical activity .A. is regarded as the best way to fight depression B. contributes to the release of endorphins C. can t help the seriously depressed students D. improves people s ability to learn and memorize 25. It can be inferred from the 3rd paragraph that . A. employing mental health experts on campus is a waste of money B. students with mental health problems can t get on well with others C. going to college s consulting center for help requires a lot of courage D. sick students in Texas Christian University must take psychological tests 26. Taking advantage of technology is encouraged because it .A. enables students to get involved in college life B. helps students stay in contact with others C. offers students a way to make new friends D. provides a way to avoid getting bored 教育资源教育资源27. Which of the following can NOT help one reduce depression?教育资源教育资源A. Taking exercise regularly every week. B. Chatting with old friends with Skype. C. Turning to mental health experts for advice. D. Holding parties deep into the night to relax. C It happened to me recently. I was telling someone how much I had enjoyed reading Barack Obama s Dreams From My Father and how it had changed my views of our President. A friend I was talking to agreed with me that it was, in his words, “ a brilliantly (精彩地) written book ” . However, he then went on to talk about Mr. Obama in a way which suggested he had no idea of his background at all. I sensed that I was talking to a book liar. And it seems that my friend is not the only one. Approximately two thirds of people have lied about reading a book which they haven t. In the World Book Day s “ Report on Guilty Secrets” , Dreams From My Father is at number 9. The report lists ten books, and various authors, which people have lied about reading, and as I m not one to lie too often (I d hate to be caught out), I ll admit here and now that I haven t read the entire top ten. But I am pleased to say that, unlike 42 percent of people, I have read the book at number one, George Orwell s 1984. I think it s really brilliant. The World Book Day report also has some other interesting information in it. It says that many people lie about having read Jane Austen, Charles Dickens, Fyodor Dostoevsky (I haven t read him, but haven t lied about it either) and Herman Melville. Asked why they lied, the most common reason was to “ impress”someone they were speaking to. This could be tricky if the conversation became more in depth! But when asked which authors they actually enjoy, people named J. K. Rowling, John Grisham, Sophie Kinsella (ah, the big sellers, in other words). Forty-two percent of people asked admitted they turned to the back of the book to read the end before finishing the story (I ll come clean: I do this and am astonished that 58 percent said they had never done so). 28. How did the author find his friend a book liar? A. By judging his manner of speaking. B. By looking into his background. C. By mentioning a famous name. D. By discussing the book itself. 29. Which of the following is a “ guilty secret” ac cording to the World Book Day report? A. Charles Dickens is very low on the top-ten list. B. 42% of people pretended to have read 1984. C. The author admitted having read 9 books. D. Dreams From My Father is hardly read. 30. By lying about reading, a person hopes to _. A. control the conversation B. appear knowledgeable C. learn about the book D. make more friends教育资源教育资源31. What is the author s attitude to 58% of readers? A. Favorable. B. Uncaring. C. Doubtful. D. Friendly. D When you go to a public restroom, the clothing choice of the small figure on the sign directs which room you should choose, men s or women s. While the male symbol wears pants, the female figure s dress might look a bit outdated and limiting. This week, an Arizona tech company, Axosoft, displayed its newly designed bathroom symbol at Arizona s Girls in Tech Conference. As it turns out, that triangle (三角形 ) on the sign was never a dress in the first place. The new image turns the dress into a cape ( 披肩 ), implying that women can be superheroes or whatever else they choose. “ In science, technology, arts, mathematics, politics, on the streets, and in our homes, insightful women are often uninvited, overlooked, or just dismissed,” Axosoft explains on the campaign s website. Girls and women interested in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) are in the minority. In the US, women make up less than a quarter of the professionals working in STEM careers. With an ever-growing need for technology experts, the White House started a 2019 initiative to support STEM education for girls specifically. Yet just this week, two female scientists had their paper on gender bias (性别歧视 ) rejected. The reviewer suggested that they need a man to co-author their study, proving that even accomplished women aren t taken seriously because of their gender. “ It s so hard for women to be in this space. We want to make sure women s voices are heard, ” Lawdan Shojaee, Axosoft s CEO, said. The campaign s mission is to encourage conversations about welcoming all women into any career they choose. And it s not just about women s equality it s about making sure America has a big enough workforce to fill up the estimated nine million STEM jobs that will exist by 2022. 32. What does the female figure s new image on the sign of the public restroom imply? A. Women have more chances in STEM careers in the US. B. Women are equal to men in society. C. Women can be whatever they want to be. D. Women are becoming more fashionable that ever before. 33. Why was the paper by two female scientists rejected, according to the passage? A. It opposed documents launched by the US government. B. They were not qualified to write the paper. C. Its content was related to gender bias. D. It wasn t supported by a male author. 34. Why did Axosoft change the bathroom symbol for women? A. To make women not rejected because of their gender.教育资源教育资源B. To create an equal working atmosphere in the US. C. To only fight for women s equality in their careers. D. The old image is a bit outdated and limiting. 35. What does the underlined phrase “fill up” in the last paragraph probably mean? A. To make something completely full. B. To make something larger. C. To complete something properly. D. To carry out something efficiently. 第二节(共5 小题;每小题2 分,满分 10 分)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。(如果所用的答题卡没有E、F、G 选项,则选E 涂 A、B,选 F 涂 A、C,选G 涂 A、D。 )Things to Know Before Buying a HouseBefore you make the commitment of buying a house, you should ensure you are making an informed decision, and not one based on how beautiful the home is or your desire to be on your own. Your Financial Situation 36 On the other hand, if you don t think you can qualify for a loan, you might be mistaken. When you consider buying a home, sit down with a professional a loan counselor at your bank or a representative from the U.S. Housing and Urban Development, for instance and discuss your options. NeighborhoodA wonderful home isn t much good if it is in a terrible neighborhood, so find out as much as you can about the neighborhood before you buy. 37 You probably would not want to move into a home where yours is the only house on the street that is not falling down. 38 It is customary for home owners to leave some major appliances, like the refrigerator and dishwasher, when they leave the home, but if you see anything else that you like, check if it is for sale. 39 “ Annoying” FactorsEvery home has its annoyances: the third step creaks, or the neighbor s cat likes to lounge on your porch. Even if you are moving to a brand-new home, there are bound to be some annoying factors about your new home and
