years ago. i came across the fact that the internet usage was growing at 2,300 percent per year. id 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 id 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 wouldnt work since most start-ups dont, and i wasnt sure what to expect. mackenzie told me i should go for it. as a young boy, id been a garage inventor. id 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 didnt 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 didnt think id regret trying and failing. and i suspected i would always be haunted by a decision not to try at all. after much consideration, i took the less safe path to follow my passion, and im 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 support of his wife.c. the greatly increasing usage of the internet. d. millions of exciting titles.来源:学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 didnt try. d. the decision not to try the online bookstore would terrify him.26. we can know from the passage that _.a. the boss thought the idea was

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 choose cparents and kids today dress alike, listen to the same music, and are friends. is this a good thing? sometimes, when mr. ballmer and his 16-year-old daughter, elizabeth, listen to rock music together and talk about interests both enjoy, such as pop culture, he remembers his more distant relationship with his parents when he was a teenager.i would never have said to my mom, hey, the new weezer album is really great. how do you like it?”says ballmer. there was just a complete gap in taste. music was not the only distance. from clothing and hairstyles to activities and expectation: earlier generations of parents and children often appeared to move in separate orbits. today, the generation gap has not disappeared, but it is getting narrow in many families: conversations on subjects such as sex and drugs would not have taken place a generation ago. now they are comfortable and common. and parent-child activities, from shopping to sports, involve feeling of trust and friendship that can continue into adulthood. no wonder greeting cards today carry the message, to my mother, my best friend. but family experts warn that the new equality can also result in less respect for parents. “theres still a lot of strictness and authority on the part of parents out there, but there is a change happening, says kerne, a psychology professor, at lebanon valley college. in the middle of that change, there is a lot of confusion among parents.family researchers offer a variety of reasons for these evolving roles and attitudes. they see the 1960s as a turning point. great cultural changes led to more open communication and a more democratic（民主） process that encourages everyone to have a say.“my parents were on the before side of that change, but todays parents, the 40-year-olds were on the after side, explains mr. ballmer. its not something easily accomplished by parents these days, because life is more difficult to understand or deal with, but sharing interests does make it more fun to be a parent now.28. which of the following shows that the generation gap is disappearing? a. parents help their children develop interests in more activities.b. parents put more trust in their childrens abilities.c. parents and children talk more about sex and drugs.d. parents share more interests with their children.29. the change in todays parent-child relationship is _.a. more confusion among parentsb. new equality between parents and childrenc. less respect for parents from childrend. more strictness and authority on the part of parents30. by saying todays parents, the 40-year-olds, were on the after side, the author means that todays parents _. a. follow the trend o f the changeb. can set a limit to the changec. fail to take the change seriouslyd. have little difficulty adjusting to the change 31. the purpose of the passage is to _.a. describe the difficulties todays parents have met withb. discuss the development of the parent-child relationship c. suggest the ways to handle the parent-child relationship d. compare todays parent-child relationship with that in the past dboys schools are the perfect place to teach young men to express their emotions and involve them in activities such as art, dance and musicfar from the traditional image of a culture of aggressive masculinity(男子气概)，the absence of girls gives boys the chance to develop without pressure to be consistent to a stereotype(传统观念)，a us study saysboys at single-sex schools were said to be more likely to get involved in cultural and artistic activities that helped develop their abilities to express their emotions，rather than feeling they had to obey the “boy code” of hiding their emotions to be a “real man”the findings of the study are against the received wisdom that boys do better when taught alongside girls tony little，headmaster of eton，warned that boys were being ignored by the british education system because it had become too focused on girlshe criticized teachers for failing to recognize that boys are actually more emotional than girlsthe research argued that boys often perform badly in mixed schools because they become discouraged when their female peers do better earlier in speaking and reading skillsbut in single-sex schools teachers can adjust lessons to boys learning style，letting them move around the classroom and getting them to compete in teams to prevent boredom，wrote the studys author, abigail james of the university of virginia teachers could encourage boys to enjoy reading and writing with “boy-focused” approaches such as themes and characters that appeal to thembecause boys generally have sharper vision，learn best through touch, and are physically more active，they need to be given “hands-on” lessons where they are allowed to walk around“boys in mixed schools view classical music as feminine (女性的) and prefer the modern type in which violence and sexism(性别歧视) are major themes.” james wrotesingle-sex education also made it less likely that boys would feel they had to give in to a stereotype that men should be “masterful and in charge” in relationships“in mixed schools boys feel pressed to act like men before they understand themselves well enough to know what that means.” the study reported.32the author believes that a single-sex school would _ a. force boys to hide their emotions to be “real men”b. help to form masculine aggressiveness in boysc. encourage boys to express their emotions more freelyd. naturally place emphasis on the traditional image of a man to boys33it is commonly believed that in a mixed school boys _ a. perform relatively better b. grow up more healthilyc. behave more responsibly d. receive a better education34what does tony little say about the british education system?a. it fails more boys than girls academicallyb. it focuses more on mixed school educationc. it fails to give boys the attention they needd. it places more pressure on boys than on girls35according to abigail james，one of the advantages of single-sex schools is _ a. teaching can be designed to promote boys team spiritb.boys can focus on their lessons without being absent-mindedc.boys can choose to learn whatever they are interested ind. teaching can be adapted to suit the characteristics of boys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）the internet has opened up a whole new online world for us to meet, chat and go where weve never been before.but just as in face-to-face communication, there are some rules of behavior that should be followed when online. 36 imagine how youd feel if you were in the other persons shoes.for anything youre about to send: ask yourself, “would i say this to the persons face?” if the answer is no, rewrite and reread. 37 if someone in the chat room is rude to you, your instinct (本能) is to fire back in the same manner. 38 you should either ignore the person, or use your chat software to block their messages. if it was caused by a disagreement with another member, try to fix the situation by politely discussing it. remember to respect the beliefs and opinions of others in the chat room. 39 offer advice when asked by newcomers, as they may not be sure what to do or how to communicate. when someone makes a mistake, whether its a stupid question or an unnecessarily long answer, be kind about it. if its a small mistake, you may not need to say anything. even if you feel strongly about it, think twice before saying anything. having good manners yourself doesnt give you license to correct everyone else. 40 at the same time, if you find you are wrong, be sure to correct yourself and apologize to those that you have offended.it is not polite to ask others personal questions such as their age, sex and marital status. unless you know the person very well, and you are both comfortable with sharing personal information, dont ask such questions.a. everyone was new to the network once.b. the basic rule is simple: treat others in the same way you would want to be treated.c. but try not to do so. d. when you send short messages to a person online, you must say something beautiful to hear. e. repeat the process till you feel sure that
