用在文章最后用来引出原因，告诉读者其中的奥妙。what is ebay? the simple answer is that it is a global trading platform where nearly anyone can trade practically anything. people can sell and buy all kinds of products and goods，including cars, movies and dvds, sporting goods, travel tickets, musical instruments, clothes and shoes the list goes on and on.the idea came from pierre omidyar, who was born in paris and moved to washington when he was still a child. at high school, he became very interested in computer programming and after graduating from tufts university in 1988, he worked for the next few years as a computer engineer. in his free time he started ebay as a kind of hobby, at first offering the service free by word of mouth. by 1996 there was so much traffic on the website that he had to upgrade(升级) and he began charging a fee to members. joined by a friend, peter skoll, and in 1998 by his capable ceo, meg whitman, he_has_never_looked_back. even in the crashes of the late 1990s, ebay has gone from strength to strength. it is now one of the ten most visited online shopping websites on the internet.ebay sells connections, not goods, putting buyer and seller into contact with each other. all you have to do is take an ephoto, write a description, fill out a sales form and you are in business; the world is your market place. of course for each item (商品)sold ebay gets a percentage and that is a great deal of money. every day there are more than sixteen million items listed on ebay and eighty percent of the items are sold.语篇解读文章向我们介绍了ebay网的一些情况。1we learn from the text that ebay provides people with _.a. a way of buying and selling goodsb. a website for them to upgradec. a place to exhibit their own photosd. a chance to buy things at low prices解析根据第一段内容可知。答案a2why did pierre create ebay after graduating from university?a. for fun.b. to make money.c. for gathering the engineers.d. to fulfill a task of his company.解析由第二段第三句话可知。答案a3from “he has never looked back ”in paragraph 2 we learn that pierre_.a. did not feel lonelyb. was always hopefulc. did not think about the pastd. became more and more successful解析peter由原来的业余爱好开始，逐步走向成功，创建了世界知名网站。答案d4how does ebay make money from its website?a. by bringing sellers together.b. by charging for each sale.c. by listing items online.d. by making ephotos.解析由最后一段第一句话可知，这个网站通过提供交易平台，然后收取适当的服务费。因此b项正确。答案b认真阅读下列短文，并根据所读内容在文章后表格中的空格里填入最恰当的单词。注意：每空格1个单词。a long story about people is usually called a novel. it can be about any kind of man, woman, or child. it can be about kings, or chicago newsboys, or housewives. the french writer, victor hugo, wrote his novel les miserables about a poor man who stole a loaf of bread. the american writer, ernest hemingway, wrote a farewell to arms about a young american with the italian army in world war one. a novel can tell the story of any kind of action, over any period of time. the modern irish writer, james, joyce, covers less than twenty- four hours in ulysses. yet, joyce takes a thousand pages to tell all that happens from the time one man gets up in the morning until he goes to bed early the next morning. a german writer, herman hesse, uses only one hundred and fifty pages in his novel demian to cover a boys life from the age of ten until he becomes a young man. a novel does not just tell the things that people do. it also tells why they do them. the badge of courage, by the american novelist, stephen crane, tells about a young
