Jeff Bezos is an American technology entrepreneur(企业家), investor, and philanthropist(慈善家), Amazon’s founder, president and CEO. His earnings as of 6 June 2018 were $139 billion.
Born on January 12, 1964, in Albuquerque, New Mexico, Jeff Bezos was an intelligent child. He was interested in science and many other things from an early age. Jeff's parents owned a garage; later Jeff transformed the garage into a science laboratory. He lived in Houston, Texas, and graduated from Princeton University in 1986 with degrees in electrical engineering and computer science.
Then he worked in the field of computer science in Wall Street. After that, Jeff did an important job in building network for an international business called Fitted. Jeff has also served as a Deputy Chairman in a bank trust thereafter. He quit his job at D.E. Shaw and founded Amazon in his garage on 5 July 1993. He worked very hard at Amazon. com, making him one of the leading Amazon. com business billionaires. This company was started by three people together and today, there are 20,000 employees working in this company. Jeff Bezos made a history by starting the Amazon. com website and he also marked the beginning of the Internet revolution, the age of online selling and net banking.
Today, Amazon.com is called one of the world’s biggest business retailers(零售商). Bezos named his new company “Amazon” after the Amazon River in South America, as it began with the letter “A” at the beginning of the alphabet. He took an estimated $300,000 from his parents and invested (投资) in Amazon. With the help of Amazon. com, Jeff has given people another approach to shopping.

C
Betty and Harold have been married for years. But one-thing still puzzles old Harold. How is it that he can leave Betty and her friend Joan sitting on the sofa, talking, go out to a ballgame, come back three and a half hours later, and they're still sitting on the sofa
Talking What in the world, Harold wonders, do they have to talk about
Betty shrugs(耸肩).Talk We're friends.
Researching this matter called friendship, psychologist Lillian Rubin spent two years interviewing more than two hundred women and men. No matter what their age, their job, their sex, the results were completely clear: women have more friendships than men, and the difference in the content and the quality of those friendships is “marked and unmistakable.”
More than two-thirds of the single men Rubin interviewed could not name a best friend. Those who could were likely to name a woman. Yet three-quarters of the single women had no problem naming a best friend, and almost always it was a woman. More married men than women named their wife/husband as a best friend, most trusted person, or the one they would turn to in time of emotional distress(痛苦).“Most women,” says Rubin, “identified at least one, usually more, trusted friends to whom they could turn in a troubled moment, and they spoke openly about the importance of these relationships in their lives.”
“In general,” writes Rubin in her new book, “women's friendships with each other rest on shared emotions and support, but men's relationships are marked by shared activities. ”“For the most part”, Rubin says, “interactions between men are emotionally controlled-a good fit with the social requirements of “manly behavior.”
“Even when a man is said to be a best friend,” Rubin writes, “the two share little about their innermost feelings. While a woman's closest female friend might be-the first to tell her to leave a failing marriage, it wasn't unusual to hear a man say he didn't know his friend's marriage was in serious trouble until he appeared one night asking if he could sleep on the sofa.”
46. What old Harold cannot understand or explain is the fact that : ___
A. women have so much to share
B. he finds his wife difficult to talk to
C. women show little interest in ballgames
D. he is treated as an outsider rather than a husband
47. Rubin's study shows that for emotional support a married woman is more likely to turn to______.
A. her parents B. her husband C. a male friend D. a female friend
48. According to the passage, which type of behavior is NOT expected of a man by society
A. Going out to ballgames too often.
B. Complaining about his marriage trouble.
C. Spending too much time with his friends.
D. Ending his marriage without good reason.
49. Which of the following statements is best supported by the last paragraph
A. Men keep their private feelings to themselves.
B. Women depend on others in making decisions.
C. women are more serious than men about marriage.
D. Men often take sudden action to end their marriages.
50. The research done by psychologist Rubin centers around________.
A. emotional problems in marriage B. happy and successful marriages
C. friendships of men and women D. interactions between men and women
【答案】46. A 47. D 48. B 49. A 50. C
【解析】
【分析】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了女性对于友谊和男性对于友谊不同的态度和做法。
【46题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第一段“What in the world, Harold wonders, do they have to talk about （哈罗德想知道，他们到底要谈什么？）”可知，Harold不能理解她们到底有多少要聊的内容。故选A项。
【47题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第五段“Yet three-quarters of the single women had no problem naming a best friend, and almost always it was a woman. More married men than women named their wife/husband as a best friend, most trusted person, or the one they would turn to in time of emotional distress(痛苦). “Most women,” says Rubin, “identified at least one, usually more, trusted friends to whom they could turn in a troubled moment, and they spoke openly about the importance of these relationships in their lives.””（然而，四分之三的单身女性可以毫不犹豫地说出最好的朋友，而且几乎都是女性。与女性相比，更多的已婚男性将自己的妻子/丈夫视为最好的朋友、最信任的人，或者在情绪低落时可以求助的人。“大多数女性，”鲁宾说，“至少有一个，通常更多，值得信赖的朋友，她们可以在遇到麻烦的时候向他们倾诉，并且公开谈论这些关系在她们生活中的重要性。”）”可推断，已婚女性为了获得情感上的支持，更倾向于求助于女性朋友。故选D项。
【48题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第五段“For the most part, Rubin says, interactions between men are emotionally controlled-a good fit with the social requirements of "manly behavior.（在很大程度上，男人之间的交往在情感上是受控制的，这很符合“男子汉气概”的社会要求。）”和最后一段“While a woman's closest female friend might be-the first to tell her to leave a failing marriage, it wasn't unusual to hear a man say he didn't know his friend's marriage was in serious trouble until he appeared one night asking if he could sleep on the sofa.(虽然一个女人最亲密的女性朋友可能是第一个告诉她离开一段失败的婚姻，但听到一个男人说直到他朋友有一天晚上出现问他，他才知道他朋友的婚姻陷入了严重的麻烦，这也并不罕见。)”可推断，社会不接受一个男人抱怨婚姻问题。故选B项。
【49题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章最后一段“Even when a man is said to be a best friend,” Rubin writes, “the two share little about their innermost feelings.”（“即使一个男人被说成是最好的朋友，”鲁宾写道，“他们也很少分享内心深处的感受。”）”可知，男人总是把自己的感情藏在心里。故选A项。
【50题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第四段“Researching this matter called friendship, psychologist Lillian Rubin spent two years interviewing more than two hundred women and men.（为了研究这个叫做友谊的问题，心理学家莉莉安·鲁宾花了两年时间采访了200多名男女。）”可知，鲁宾的实验围绕男性与女性的友谊为中心的。故选C项。
D
If I could give today’s young people three wishes, they would be: More hugs. More time outside in nature. More belief in their own power to change the world. While most people understand the importance of the first two wishes, the third one leaves some folks wondering why young people’s belief in their own power is so essential.
Let’s start with the idea that all of us--especially young people--need heroes. We need them to be our guides on the difficult trail(足迹)we call life and to show us just how far we can go. And we need heroes today more than ever. Our modern society is terribly confused about the difference between a celebrity and a hero. And the difference: is vital. A celebrity is all about fame(名望)--temporary, superficial fame, usually for qualities that are easy to see: a pretty face, a great dance move. A hero, by contrast, is about character--qualities under the surface that aren’t visible until they take action.
Heroes are all around us. They truly hold our world together, through their unselfish devotion to helping others, teaching children, and protecting the environment. They don’t want fame, or glory; they just want to help. In so many ways, these unsung heroes pilot the boat in which all of us sail.
Yet, young people hear a lot more about celebrities than about heroes in the media. The hidden message they get from all this is that their self-worth comes from what they buy--which shoes, which cell phone--not who they are down inside. What gets lost in this Young people’s sense of their own potential for heroic qualities--their own power to make a positive difference in the world. Truth is, there is a potential hero, a future difference maker, in every young person. Each of them, from whatever background, is a positive force who can do something. All it takes for that to be true is belief.
How do we help young people believe in their own power The best way is simply to share examples, of other young people who have made a difference.
Ryan, age 11, has worked tirelessly to raise money to provide clean drinking water to African villages. When he first heard about the plight(困苦)of African children who died from impure water, Ryan was only six years old. In the next five years, he raised over $500,000--enough to build over 70 water wells.
Barbara, age 17, grew up on a farm in Texas. When she realized that local farmers were pouring their used motor oil into rivers, causing pollution, she organized the creation of a recycling center for crude(未加提炼的)oil. Her project has grown to include18 recycling centers in Texas.
The list could continue. These are but a few examples of young people who have discovered that they can build on their own energy to do something great.
51. What is the author’s purpose in writing Paragraph 2
A. To give examples of celebrities and heroes around us.
B. To discuss the differences between celebrities and heroes.
C. To provide definitions of the words “celebrity” and “hero”.
D. To explain the details about being celebrities and heroes.
52. What could be inferred from Paragraph 3
A. Heroes make the world go round.
B. Heroes must believe in themselves.
C. Heroes focus on social welfare programs.
D. Heroes promote cooperation between people.
53. What can we learn from Paragraph 4
A. Heroes and celebrities are both valued today.
B. Society doesn’t support the development of heroes.
C. The media turn ordinary celebrities into real heroes.
D. Young people don’t have the belief in their own strength.
54 How does the author advance his view that young people have the potential to be a hero
A. By defining the qualities that make a young person a hero.
B. By contrasting the achievements made by different young people.
C. By giving examples of young people who show the qualities of a hero.
D. By providing examples of qualities that have made young people famous.
55. What is the main idea of the passage
A. More heroes are needed in the world.
B. Celebrities are reported too much in the media.
C. Adults should become role models for young people.
D. Young people should believe in their ability to make a difference.
【答案】51. B 52. A 53. D 54. C 55. D
【解析】
【分析】这是一篇议论文。文章通过一些事例表明了年轻人相信自己改变世界的力量是多么的重要。
【51题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第二段第四句“Our modern society is terribly confused about the difference between a celebrity and a hero. (我们现代社会对名人和英雄之间的区别非常困惑)”，可知，作者说出我们对“名人和英雄的区别”很困惑，所以接下来讲到了“A celebrity is all about fame(名望)--temporary, superficial fame, usually for qualities that are easy to see: a pretty face, a great dance move. A hero, by contrast, is about character--qualities under the surface that aren’t visible until they take action. (名人的全部是名望——暂时的、表面上的名声，通常是为了容易看到的品质：漂亮的脸庞，一个伟大的舞蹈动作。相比之下，英雄是关于品格的——表面下的品质，这种品质在他们采取行动之前是看不见的)”，这是对这种区别的阐述，所以整段文章其实就在讨论名人和英雄之间的区别。故选B项。
【52题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第三段“They truly hold our world together, through their unselfish devotion to helping others, teaching children, and protecting the environment. They don’t want fame, or glory; they just want to help. In so many ways, these unsung heroes pilot the boat in which all of us sail. (英雄让我们的世界团结在一起，他们无私的奉献，帮助别人，教育孩子，保护环境。他们不要名誉，或者荣耀。他们只是想帮忙。在很多方面，这些无名英雄引领着我们所有人航行)”可知，英雄在这个世界上发挥着积极着作用，推动着世界积极的转动。故选A项。
【53题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第四段中句子“What gets lost in this Young people’s sense of their own potential for heroic qualities--their own power to make a positive difference in the world. (在这里面迷失了什么 年轻人对自己的英雄潜质的认识——他们自己对世界产生积极影响的能力)”可知，年轻人在自我能力上产生了迷失，他们对自己改变世界的力量没有信心。故选D项。
【54题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第五段中句子“How do we help young people believe in their own power The best way is simply to share examples, of other young people who have made a difference. (我们如何帮助年轻人相信自己的力量？最好的方法就是分享其他年轻人做出有影响事情的例子)”可知，作者想用分享年轻人用自己的力量做出有影响的事的例子，来论证自己的观点。接下来两段分别列举Ryan和Barbara两位年轻人的事例，来说明年轻人具有成为英雄的潜力。再根据最后一段“The list could continue. These are but a few examples of young people who have discovered that they can build on their own energy to do something great. (这样的例子还有很多。这些只是一些年轻人的例子，他们发现自己可以依靠自己的力量做一些伟大的事情。)”可知，作者就是用举例的方式来进一步阐述自己观点。故选C项。
【55题详解】
主旨大意题。根据文章第一段最后一句“While most people understand the importance of the first two wishes, the third one leaves some folks wondering why young people’s belief in their own power is so essential. (虽然大多数人都明白前两个愿望的重要性，但第三个愿望却让一些人疑惑，为什么年轻人对自己力量的信念如此重要) ”和最后一段最后一句“These are but a few examples of young people who have discovered that they can build on their own energy to do something great. (这些只是年轻人的几个例子，他们已经发现他们可以依靠自己的力量去做一些伟大的事情) ”可知，作者开头以 “相信自己的力量”点题，结合第4题分析，段中例举了几个通过自己的力量做出改变的例子，结尾又以“自己的力量”与首段呼应，可知，整篇文章讲的是年轻人应该相信自己有能力做出有影响力有意义的事。故选D项。
五、阅读表达（共5小题；每题2分，满分10分）
阅读下面短文，按照要求用英语回答问题。
My name is Brooke Parsons, and the story of my life is different. One day, in April, 1993, I was home alone when I had a stroke. When my parents came home, they took me to the hospital to learn what lay ahead for all of us. The stroke has left me with permanent brain damage. The doctors suggested I quit school. However, I chose the opposite.
After returning to high school, I learned very slowly. I had to decide whether or not to complete the twelfth grade in 2 years. Thinking I would fail if I chose to do it in one year, finally I made my decision. The staff at school were very supportive and helped me through the rough times. Finally, I graduated from high school. Graduating from high school was a huge achievement for me. That was an opportunity for me to be really proud of just how far I had come with all the odds I had to beat.
I can now walk, talk, dress myself, feed myself and be the independent person I am today. I have achieved my VCE and I am now at university, studying to be a social worker. I have been a scholarship winner. I have become a life-long member of the local musical band. All of these achievements are beyond my imagination. Now I am even in a novel called Second Chances by Neil Mitchall.
I could have easily listened to the doctors when I first had my stroke, but I decided I was going to prove them wrong as they did not know me, nor did they know just how determined I would be.
It’s a big world out there. I have done and achieved so much and never once will I allow the odds to get the better of me, as there is still a whole lot more things out there for me to do. I love life and I am living it to the maximum
56. How was the author affected by the stroke (no more than 6 words)
57. What decision did he make after returning to school (no more than 10 words)
58. What did the authors efforts bring him (no more than 10 words)
59. What does the underlined sentence in the last paragraph mean (no more than 10 words)
60. What do you think of the author and why (no more than 20 words)
【答案】56. He suffered permanent brain damage.
57. To finish twelfth grade in two years.
58. He has achieved more than he could imagine.
59. I determine not to be defeated by difficulties.
60. He is brave and determined because he didn’t give up easily and overcame many difficulties brought by his brain damage.
【解析】
【分析】本文是一篇记叙文，主要讲述了作者在意外遭遇中风之后，克服种种困难，以顽强的意志坚持完成高中学业，后来又成功进入大学、获得奖学金、成为当地乐队一员，甚至成为小说人物原型的励志故事。作者一路走来，证明了自己，并将坚定地继续走下去，乐观地体验未来人生的一切。
【56题详解】
细节理解题。根据原文第一段“The stroke has left me with permanent brain damage.”可知中风已经给作者带来了永久性的大脑损伤，故本题答案为：He suffered permanent brain damage.
【57题详解】
细节理解题。作者由于中风导致了大脑永久性损伤，学起来非常费劲。根据原文第二段“I had to decide whether or not to complete the twelfth grade in 2 years. Thinking I would fail if I chose to do it in one year, finally I made my decision.”可知作者考虑到十二年级（高三）的课程自己无法像正常人一样在一年内学完，最后决定拆分为两年，故本题答案为：To finish twelfth grade in two years.
【58题详解】
推理判断题。作者在文中讲述了自己努力地自我突破，医生建议休学，而自己却坚持读完高中，后来甚至能进入大学并获得奖学金，还加入了乐队，这远远超过了一个中风患者正常情况下所能做的事，列举完这些成就，作者总结“All of these achievements are beyond my imagination”。因此作者的努力带给自己超乎想象的成就，故本题答案为：He has achieved more than he could imagine.
【59题详解】
句意猜测题。首次分析划线句子中的几个短语：never once意为“一次也不”；the odds结合上下文可知指代这场疾病给他带来的磕磕绊绊、艰难险阻（前文中有“all the odds I had to beat.”与此呼应）；get the better of意为“打败、战胜、占上风”，因而本句说的是，“我”绝不允许这些艰难险阻打败我（我下定决心不被打败），故本题答案为：I determine not to be defeated by difficulties.
【60题详解】
推理判断题。本题属于半开放性试题，要求分析文中作者是一个怎样的人。作者在意外遭遇中风之后，克服种种困难，以顽强的意志坚持完成高中学业，后来又成功进入大学、获得奖学金、成为当地乐队一员；等等。作者还从中悟出了人生的道理，并表示将继续乐观地生活下去。因此可提炼出作者的品质有：坚强（strong）、勇敢（brave）、达观（optimistic）、有决心（determined）……选取两三个进行作答，故本题参考答案为：He is brave and determined because he didn’t give up easily and overcame many difficulties brought by his brain damage.

Betty and Harold have been married for years. But one-thing still puzzles old Harold. How is it that he can leave Betty and her friend Joan sitting on the sofa, talking, go out to a ballgame, come back three and a half hours later, and they're still sitting on the sofa
Talking What in the world, Harold wonders, do they have to talk about
Betty shrugs(耸肩).Talk We're friends.
Researching this matter called friendship, psychologist Lillian Rubin spent two years interviewing more than two hundred women and men. No matter what their age, their job, their sex, the results were completely clear: women have more friendships than men, and the difference in the content and the quality of those friendships is “marked and unmistakable.”
More than two-thirds of the single men Rubin interviewed could not name a best friend. Those who could were likely to name a woman. Yet three-quarters of the single women had no problem naming a best friend, and almost always it was a woman. More married men than women named their wife/husband as a best friend, most trusted person, or the one they would turn to in time of emotional distress(痛苦).“Most women,” says Rubin, “identified at least one, usually more, trusted friends to whom they could turn in a troubled moment, and they spoke openly about the importance of these relationships in their lives.”
“In general,” writes Rubin in her new book, “women's friendships with each other rest on shared emotions and support, but men's relationships are marked by shared activities. ”“For the most part”, Rubin says, “interactions between men are emotionally controlled-a good fit with the social requirements of “manly behavior.”
“Even when a man is said to be a best friend,” Rubin writes, “the two share little about their innermost feelings. While a woman's closest female friend might be-the first to tell her to leave a failing marriage, it wasn't unusual to hear a man say he didn't know his friend's marriage was in serious trouble until he appeared one night asking if he could sleep on the sofa.”
46. What old Harold cannot understand or explain is the fact that : ___
A. women have so much to share
B. he finds his wife difficult to talk to
C. women show little interest in ballgames
D. he is treated as an outsider rather than a husband
47. Rubin's study shows that for emotional support a married woman is more likely to turn to______.
A. her parents B. her husband C. a male friend D. a female friend
48. According to the passage, which type of behavior is NOT expected of a man by society
A. Going out to ballgames too often.
B. Complaining about his marriage trouble.
C. Spending too much time with his friends.
D. Ending his marriage without good reason.
49. Which of the following statements is best supported by the last paragraph
A. Men keep their private feelings to themselves.
B. Women depend on others in making decisions.
C. women are more serious than men about marriage.
D. Men often take sudden action to end their marriages.
50. The research done by psychologist Rubin centers around________.
A. emotional problems in marriage B. happy and successful marriages
C. friendships of men and women D. interactions between men and women

If I could give today’s young people three wishes, they would be: More hugs. More time outside in nature. More belief in their own power to change the world. While most people understand the importance of the first two wishes, the third one leaves some folks wondering why young people’s belief in their own power is so essential.
Let’s start with the idea that all of us--especially young people--need heroes. We need them to be our guides on the difficult trail(足迹)we call life and to show us just how far we can go. And we need heroes today more than ever. Our modern society is terribly confused about the difference between a celebrity and a hero. And the difference: is vital. A celebrity is all about fame(名望)--temporary, superficial fame, usually for qualities that are easy to see: a pretty face, a great dance move. A hero, by contrast, is about character--qualities under the surface that aren’t visible until they take action.
Heroes are all around us. They truly hold our world together, through their unselfish devotion to helping others, teaching children, and protecting the environment. They don’t want fame, or glory; they just want to help. In so many ways, these unsung heroes pilot the boat in which all of us sail.
Yet, young people hear a lot more about celebrities than about heroes in the media. The hidden message they get from all this is that their self-worth comes from what they buy--which shoes, which cell phone--not who they are down inside. What gets lost in this Young people’s sense of their own potential for heroic qualities--their own power to make a positive difference in the world. Truth is, there is a potential hero, a future difference maker, in every young person. Each of them, from whatever background, is a positive force who can do something. All it takes for that to be true is belief.
How do we help young people believe in their own power The best way is simply to share examples, of other young people who have made a difference.
Ryan, age 11, has worked tirelessly to raise money to provide clean drinking water to African villages. When he first heard about the plight(困苦)of African children who died from impure water, Ryan was only six years old. In the next five years, he raised over $500,000--enough to build over 70 water wells.
Barbara, age 17, grew up on a farm in Texas. When she realized that local farmers were pouring their used motor oil into rivers, causing pollution, she organized the creation of a recycling center for crude(未加提炼的)oil. Her project has grown to include18 recycling centers in Texas.
The list could continue. These are but a few examples of young people who have discovered that they can build on their own energy to do something great.
51. What is the author’s purpose in writing Paragraph 2
A. To give examples of celebrities and heroes around us.
B. To discuss the differences between celebrities and heroes.
C. To provide definitions of the words “celebrity” and “hero”.
D. To explain the details about being celebrities and heroes.
52. What could be inferred from Paragraph 3
A. Heroes make the world go round.
B. Heroes must believe in themselves.
C. Heroes focus on social welfare programs.
D. Heroes promote cooperation between people.
53. What can we learn from Paragraph 4
A. Heroes and celebrities are both valued today.
B. Society doesn’t support the development of heroes.
C. The media turn ordinary celebrities into real heroes.
D. Young people don’t have the belief in their own strength.
54. How does the author advance his view that young people have the potential to be a hero
A. By defining the qualities that make a young person a hero.
B. By contrasting the achievements made by different young people.
C. By giving examples of young people who show the qualities of a hero.
D. By providing examples of qualities that have made young people famous.
55. What is the main idea of the passage
A. More heroes are needed in the world.
B. Celebrities are reported too much in the media.
C. Adults should become role models for young people.
D. Young people should believe in their ability to make a difference.
五、阅读表达（共5小题；每题2分，满分10分）
阅读下面短文，按照要求用英语回答问题。
My name is Brooke Parsons, and the story of my life is different. One day, in April, 1993, I was home alone when I had a stroke. When my parents came home, they took me to the hospital to learn what lay ahead for all of us. The stroke has left me with permanent brain damage. The doctors suggested I quit school. However, I chose the opposite.
After returning to high school, I learned very slowly. I had to decide whether or not to complete the twelfth grade in 2 years. Thinking I would fail if I chose to do it in one year, finally I made my decision. The staff at school were very supportive and helped me through the rough times. Finally, I graduated from high school. Graduating from high school was a huge achievement for me. That was an opportunity for me to be really proud of just how far I had come with all the odds I had to beat.
I can now walk, talk, dress myself, feed myself and be the independent person I am today. I have achieved my VCE and I am now at university, studying to be a social worker. I have been a scholarship winner. I have become a life-long member of the local musical band. All of these achievements are beyond my imagination. Now I am even in a novel called Second Chances by Neil Mitchall.
I could have easily listened to the doctors when I first had my stroke, but I decided I was going to prove them wrong as they did not know me, nor did they know just how determined I would be.
It’s a big world out there. I have done and achieved so much and never once will I allow the odds to get the better of me, as there is still a whole lot more things out there for me to do. I love life and I am living it to the maximum
