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 ultimately (最后), 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 to not 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.32what inspired the author with the idea of

doubt if he didnt try.d. the decision to not try the online bookstore would terrify him.34we can know from the passage that _.a . the boss thought the idea was suitable for the authorb. the author wanted someone else to try the ideac. the author might not regret if he failed the idead. the author might go back to his boss if he failed35which of the following would be the best title for the

the difference between successful people and those who dont achieve anything significant. i made an interesting discovery. this difference may at first look obvious, but its quite opposite. 36 everyone has a purpose behind their actions. if they dont, they wouldnt take action! 37 when they take action, at the back of their minds they think about success that this action is going to bring them.38 whats the purpose behind your actions? do you work to thrive（成功）or to survive?do you go to work to feed your family or to create an amazing lifestyle?different purposes will result in completely different life experiences. people who work to survive are the ones who fear that some unexpected bill will arrive. they go to bed worrying about money and unimportant things. they hate their employment but dont quit because they doubt their own abilities to create something greater. i know this kind of feeling because i was like that once. thats a very uncomfortable state to be in because you are constantly worried about insignificant things. 39 therefore, you cannot achieve anything great.now there are some people who dont accept the “ life is hard ” story and they are fuelled by an entirely different purpose. they work to thrive. 40 they have a beautiful vision and they take constant action to make that vision a reality.a. and they dont think about why something cannot be done.b. such attitude invites great opportunities to you.c. it lies in what motivates people to take action.d. so let me ask you a few questions.e. and this makes you take even more or better quality actions.f. this state does not allow you to be creative.g. but successful people have a completely different purpose behind the actions they take.第三部分：英语知识运用（共两节，满分分）第一节：完形填空（共20小题；每小题1.5分，满分30分）阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的四个选项（a、b、c和d）中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。many years ago, i owned a service station and roadhouse(路边小店) on the main road between
