And as strange as that sounds, the South Africanborn, CanadianAmerican inventor might actually be doing it.On December 22nd, SpaceX, the company Musk founded, successfully launched its reusable Falcon 9 rocket. The moment furthered Musks goal of making space travel more affordable and eventually colonizing Mars for humanitys longterm survival. As if this wasnt enough, Musk, 44, is also the founder of Tesla, an electric car company. He has also helped to create three Internet startups including the online payment company PayPal. All of them could be said to have turned their industries upside down.The companies Musk started cover three areas: the Internet, sustainable energy and exploring space. Since college, Musk has believed that those areas will most affect the future of humanity and that he should spend his life working on them. “Theres no shortage of people with a vision for the future，” Microsoft founder Bill Gates said to Vogue magazine. “What makes Elon special is his ability to make his vision come true.”Nothing showed this ability better than the crisis Musk faced in 2008. In 2008, both SpaceX and Tesla were in real danger. SpaceXs three launches had all failed and the company could afford only one more launch. But everything soon turned around. In September 2008, SpaceX launched its fourth rocket and it succeeded. It won a D|S1.6 billion contract with NASA. SpaceX was saved. Musk then shocked the investors and the tech world by pouring his entire personal savings into saving Tesla.Despite his success, Musks ambition has not gone away. He has also been working on other ambitious projects in recent years.4What do Musks companies have in common?AThey all gained an instant success.BTheir goal is to offer affordable space travel.CTheir development wasnt optimistic at first.DThey had a revolutionary effect on their own fields.解析：选D推理判断题。根据第二段的内容，尤其是最后一句“All of them could be said to have turned their industries upside down”可知，Musk的公司在它们各自所属的领域产生了革命性的影响。5What do Bill Gates words indicate?ATherere many creative people.BNot everyones dream can come true.CSuccessful people have a vision for the future.DAbility of practice accounts for Musks success.解析：选D推理判断题。由第三段中Bill Gates所说的话，尤其是“What makes Elon special is his ability to make his vision come true”可推断，Bill Gates意在说明Musk成功的关键在于他的执行力。故选D。6Which words can best describe Musk?ADevoted and accessible.BCreative and determined.CAdventurous and aggressive. DAmbitious and sympathetic.解析：选C推理判断题。根据第四段的最后一句“Musk then shocked the investors and the tech world by pouring his entire personal savings into saving Tesla”可以看出，Musk拥有敢于冒险的精神；根据第一段和最后一段的“ambition”可以看出Musk是具有上进心的，故选C。7Where may the passage be taken from?APopular fiction. BA biography.CA speech. DA study.解析：选B文章出处题。通读全文可知，文章主要介绍了天才创业冒险家埃隆马斯克，故最有可能出自人物传记，选B。A项表示“通俗小说”。C(2018贵州省贵阳市六中调研)A decade ago, secondary and higher education was prized above all else. Apprenticeships (学徒工作) were viewed as an option for dropouts rather than a daring career choice. And the young men and women who didnt fit into the school system, preferring to create startups and focus on making a living in the business world, were dismissed as wheelerdealers (投机者)Now therere_no_birds_of_this_year_in_last_years_nests. Young people are being encouraged to think carefully about whether academia is right for them this trend has been fuelled by rising university fees and a global shortage of many skills that were passed over in schools in recent years, ranging from web development to sales.Young people are required to stay in some kind of education or training until they are 18, but this learning may now take many forms. The Government runs its own platform to help interested youths find an apprenticeship that suits their skills and ambitions.Tom Hartley, who runs a highend performance and classic car business based in Derbyshire, founded his first company at just 12 years old. “I had no school education，” he says. “Business was how I learned everything. I call it the Hartley University of Life.”His business, 43 years on, turns over 200m, and sells cars to highnetworth individuals across the globe, from Hollywood celebrities to foreign royalty. Many years ago, Hartley was asked to explain why he had chosen to be selfeducated and why he had supported his son Carls decision to leave school and join the family business instead.“I got a lot of criticism at the time，” he says. “I tried to explain that you cant teach gut feelings on a blackboard and that school is fine if you want to be a doctor or fly a rocket to the moon but otherwise its all about experience in business.”语篇解读：十年前，人们很重视中高等教育，学徒工作被认为是辍学者的一种选择，而不是一种大胆的职业选择。而如今，情况已发生了改变，年轻人被鼓励认真思考学术是否适合他们，如若不适合，他们可以放弃教育而开始创业。8What does the underlined sentence in Paragraph 2 indicate?AThe situation above has changed.BEducation is no more important nowadays.CThings change for the worse for dropouts.DUniversity fees are becoming higher and higher.解析：选A句意理解题。根据第一段的内容及第二段中的“Young people are being encouraged to think carefully about whether academia is right for them . ranging from web development to sales”可知，此处指的应是第一段中所讲述的情况随着时间的推移发生了变化。所以A项正确。9Which statement may the author agree with?AEducation is the only way to success.BEducation systems change from time to time.CSchool dropouts could be future business stars.DSchool dropouts were common among youngsters.解析：选C推理判断题。文章第二、三段告诉我们，如今不擅长学术的年轻人被鼓励放弃接受教育而开始创业。第四、五段指出，Tom Hartley没受过什么教育，12岁就开始创业，并且他的汽车生意经营得很成功。由此可知，昔日的辍学者未来可能会在商界取得成功。所以C项正确。10What does the author say about Tom Hartley?AHe attaches more value to experience than to education.BHe was supported in founding his first company.CHe is welleducated and farsighted.DHe is brave and openminded.解析：选D推理判断题。根据第四段中的“founded his first company at just 12 years old”可知，小小年纪就创业，Tom应该是很勇敢的；再根据第五段中的“he had supported his son Carls decision to leave school and join the family business instead”可知，支持自己儿子辍学经商的Tom是开明的，故选D。11How does the author prove his view?ABy giving an example. BBy making a comparison.CBy analyzing causes. DBy listing figures.解析：选A写作手法题。通读全文可知，作者主要是通过列举Tom Hartley的成功故事来说明他的观点的。所以A项正确。D(2018青海省平安县一中质检)A record of 6.15 million trips was made by Chinese mainland tourists to overseas destinations during the sevenday Spring Festival holiday, which ended on Thursday, according to the China National Tourism Administration.
