I had just turned 30 years old，and Id been married for a yearI told my wife MacKenzie that I wanted to quit my job and go to do this crazy thing that probably wouldnt work since most start-ups dont and I wasnt sure what to expectMacKenzie told me I should go for itAs a young boy，Id been a garage inventorId 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 admiredI went to my boss and told him I wanted to start a company selling books on the InternetHe 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 didnt 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 decisionSeen in that lightit really was a difficult choice，but ultimately，I decided I had to give it a shotI didnt think Id regret trying and failingAnd 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 Im proud of that choiceFor all of us，in the end，we are our choice21What inspired the author with the idea of building an online bookstore?AHis dream of being an inventor BThe support of his wifeCThe greatly increasing usage of the InternetDMillions of exciting titles,22Which of the following is closest in meaning to the underlinedentence?AThe idea of not trying would keep coming to his mind and disturb himBHe would be very excited if he tried it out CBe would be always having a doubt if he didnt tryDThe decision to not try the online bookstore would terrify him23We can know from the passage that_Athe boss thought the idea was suitable for the authorBthe author wanted someone else to try the ideaCthe author might not regret if he failed the ideaDthe author might go back to his boss if he failed 24Which of the following would be the best title for the passage?ACleverness and Kindness BThe Starting of AmazonCFollowing My Passion DWe Are What We ChooseBCANYOUIMAGINEHOWHARDITWOULDBETOREADSENTENCESLIKETHIS?Every one of us gets so used to punctuation marks that not many of us give them a second thoughtActually，the ancient Greeks wrote this wayThe lack of punctuation marks probably didnt bother good readers，thoughAs they read，they just put pauses where they fit best. Also at this time，sentences switched directionsA sentence read from left to rightThe next one read right to left，and then left to right again，etcThe ancient Romans sometimes punctuated like this：They put something that can separate words in a sentenceThe 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 pointsThe spaces separated words while the points showed pauses in readingThen in the 13th century，a printer named Aldus Manutius tried to standardize punctuationHe always used a period for a complete stop at the end of a sentenceHe used a slash()to indicate a short pauseOver timethat slash was shortened and curled，and it became the modern comma(逗号)Since that time，other marks have enlarged the punctuation familyThe 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 nowadaysNew marks are coming into existence，and old punctuation marks are used in new waysTake for example the“interrobang”This 1962 invention combines the question mark and exclamation mark for times when writers want bothFor 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 25From the first paragraph，we can know that_. Agood readers had trouble reading without punctuation marksBa sentence always read from left to right in ancient Greece Cancient Greeks switched the direction of punctuation marksDthe use of punctuation marks can date back to ancient times26We can learn from the passage that_Aancient Romans didnt use any punctuation marksBexclamation and question marks came from LatinCspaces and slashes were already used before the 5th centuryDAldus Manutius fast started to use commas27What can be concluded from the last paragraph?AThe combination of two marks will not work.BIt takes time for people to accept new punctuation marksCOld punctuation marks need to be standardizedDPunctuation marks are still changing todayCThe stories we share with one another are importantThey 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 EbolaThere is a danger in holding back stories that ought to be toldBobette 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 bottleWhen 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 secretespecially 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 insideAnd the better we get at hiding the stories that show our true selves，the more damage we may be causing to ourselves and to othersHonesty and openness is important：It proves we are trustworthy. It displays we are humanWe are not perfect or betterIt highlights the importance of hard work and personal developmentHard work may not allow us to overcome our disadvantages completelyBut with hard wonk：we do not have to be restricted to our mistakesDoes this mean we admit every weakness，every disadvantage，and every secret regret to everybody we meet? No，of course notThere is a time and a place and a certain level of relationship necessary for some stories to be told in all appropriate manner28Whats the function of the example in Paragraph 2?A. It reflects that people are concerning about the spread of EbolaB. It shows the bad effect caused by sharing a storyCIt proves not sharing a story can cause troubleDIt concludes that one should share a story at a proper time29. One of the reasons why people are unwilling to share experiences is that_Astory-sharing highlights the importance of hard workBpeople are used to exposing their weaknesses Cpeople sometimes have no courage to share their storiesDsome stories make themselves feel sad30Which is close in meaning to the underlined word“uncorked”in Paragraph 3?Afreed Bbroken Cunfolded Duntouched31.The writer aims to convince us to_Abe open to people close to you by sharing some secretsBshare stories appropriately for the good of others and ourselvesCremove the dangers that can be caused by untold storiesDrealize the importance of being honest when making friendsDFor as long as they can remember Jynne Martin and April Surgent had both dreamed of going to AntarcticaThis winter，they each made it to the icy continent as guests of the National Science Foundation(NSF)Bm they didnt go as scientistsMartin is a poet and Surgent is an artistThey went to Antarctica as participantsin the NSFs Artists and Writers programThe NSF is the government agency that funds scientific research in AntarcticaBut 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 isnt newSome of the earliest explorers brought along painters and photographersEdward Wilson was a British painter，doctor，and bird expert who journeyed with Robert Falcon Soott on two separate Antamtic expeditions more than 100 years agoHerbert Ponting was a photographer who also accompanied Scott on one of those expeditionsIn hundreds of photos，Ponting captured the beauty of the continent and recorded the daily lives and heroic struggles of the explorers Todays scientists write articles for scientific journalsUnlike the early explorersjournals，scientific papers can now be very difficult for non-scientists to understandWriters in Antarctica work to explain the research to the publicPeter Rejcek is editor，writer，and photographer for the Antarctic Sun，an online magazine devoted to news about the USAntarctic ProgramRejeck began his career in the Antarctic in 2003 by spending a year at the South PoleHe has returned every year since，interviewing，scientists about research at Palmer，McMurdo，and South Pole stationsThere are also scientists in Antarctica who work hard to explain their research to the publicScientist Diane McKnight wrote The Lost Seal，a childrens 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，historicand 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” 32What do we know about the NSF? AIt is a government agencyBIt only funds scientists in AntarcticaCIt encourages the understanding of human natureDIt enables the mixing of science and art for the first time33Why didnt some earliest explorers bring writers along?AWriters were not funded at that timeBWriting cant capture the beauty of the continentCWriters were not interested in popularizing scienceDEarly explorersjournals can be easily understood by the public34By mentioning Diane McKnight，the author may try to suggest that_Ascientists should explain their research to childrenBwriters are not necessary since scientists can tell stories as wellCtelling stories to children is more important than knowing the truthDno matter what role we play，we can work together to appreciate Antarctica35What would be the best title for this article?AAntarctica：A Land for A11 BThe NSF：A Program for AllCAntarctica：A Land of Beauty and Stories DThe NSF：A Program for Artists and Scientists第二节(共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分) 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 willpowerDont try to change your economic situation，win a promotion and lose weig
