A short Chinese man seems to be the tallest in the world right now. Jack Ma ( Ma Yun) is executive chairman (董事局主席) of Alibaba Group,a business-to-business online platform. On Sept 19 ,Alibaba went public on the New York Stock Exchange (紐約證券交易所) ，raising $25 billion through an IPO,the biggest in US history. Ma,a former English teacher,has become the richest man on the Chinese mainland.

   Bom in Hangzhou,Zhejiang,Ma grew up as a happy kid. At the age of 12 ,he wanted to learn English. Every morning,he awoke at 5 am,cycled 40 minutes to a hotel near the West Lake where he could chat to foreign tourists. He did it for nine years,rain or shine.

   The experience made him a fluent English speaker and also opened his eyes to the wider world. In a 1995 trip to the US,Ma was showed the Internet for the first time. He searched Yahoo using the word “Beer”，and found that there was nothing in there about China. Seeing the chance,Ma returned to China and set up a website called China Pages without even knowing much about computers.

   Four years later,18 people including Ma,his wife and his friends founded Alibaba in Hangzhou. He believed in the Internet business potential (潛力) when few other Chinese did. People called him “Crazy Jack Ma”. But 15 years later,Alibaba has developed into the world's largest e-commerce (電子商務(wù)) company,owning popular shopping websites like Taobao and Tmall. It makes more profit online than Amazon and e-Bay combined.

   No one thinks he's mad now. Ma's favorite line has been printed on Alibaba's souvenir T-shirts. It reads： “Everybody should have a dream. What if that dream comes true?”

  馬云帶領(lǐng)阿里巴巴成功從美國(guó)紐約上市，此時(shí)這個(gè)小個(gè)子男人看起來(lái)卻像世界上最高大的人。本文主要向我們介紹了馬云的一些學(xué)習(xí)和創(chuàng)業(yè)經(jīng)歷。

1. B 細(xì)節(jié)理解題。由第一段的 raising $ 25 billion through an IPO可知，阿里巴巴首次公開(kāi)募股籌集資金250億美 元，由此可知正確答案為B項(xiàng)。

2. C細(xì)節(jié)理解題。由第二段的a hotel near the West Lake where he could chat to foreign tourists 可知，馬云騎自行 車(chē)去西湖附近的賓館，在那里他可以和外國(guó)游客聊天。

3. C推理判斷題。由第三段的In a 1995 trip to the US及第四段第一句“Four years later,18 people including Ma. . . in Hangzhou. ”可推斷，在1999年馬云和他的團(tuán)隊(duì)創(chuàng)辦 了阿里巴巴。

4. D推理判斷題。通讀全文可知，正確的順序應(yīng)為：在杭州馬云當(dāng)英語(yǔ)老師→馬云創(chuàng)立了名為“中國(guó)黃頁(yè)”的網(wǎng)站 →馬云成為阿里巴巴集團(tuán)的執(zhí)行總裁→馬云成為中國(guó) 大陸的首富。

5. A主旨大意題。通讀全文可知，文章主要介紹的是馬云的個(gè)人經(jīng)歷。故A項(xiàng)為最佳答案。

障礙句分析

   Ma's favorite line has been printed on Alibaba's souvenir T-shirts.馬云最喜愛(ài)的話已經(jīng)印在阿里巴巴的紀(jì)念T恤上。

   has been printed是print的現(xiàn)在完成時(shí)的被動(dòng)語(yǔ)態(tài)。line意思是“字行”；在口語(yǔ)中，line意思是“信;便條”。

關(guān)鍵信息定位法

   這個(gè)方法主要用來(lái)解答細(xì)節(jié)題，如涉及數(shù)字(日 期、時(shí)間、價(jià)格等) ，就可以在文章中快速圈出數(shù)字，再 找出目標(biāo)數(shù)字及相對(duì)應(yīng)的細(xì)節(jié)信息，還有人物姓名、 地點(diǎn)名詞等等，其他的還包括一些提示情節(jié)發(fā)展，或 條綱性關(guān)鍵字眼，如First,Next,Finally等等。

   例如，第3小題，找到第四段的“ Four years later ,18 people including Ma,his wife and his friends founded Alibaba in Hangzhou. ” 和上文的“In a 1995 trip to the US,Ma was showed the Internet for the first 1 time. ”關(guān)鍵信息，然后簡(jiǎn)單計(jì)算即可得出答案。

                  Do You Need to “Edit Your Friends”？

   Is your mobile phone directory full of phone numbers of people you don't really want to talk to? Do you go out with people from work or school more often than with your real friends? Do you say yes to invitations because you think you should,not because you want to? If you answer yes to at least two of these questions,then perhaps you need to “edit your friends”.

   Nowadays people like to spend a lot of time with people at work or classmates at school. The result is that we don't have enough time to see our real,close friends. As our lives get busier,it becomes more important to spend the little free time we have with people we really want to see,people we love and who really love us.

   Who are the friends you need to edit? A few years ago I read a book about how to get rid of unnecessary possessions (物品) . It said you should ask yourself about each thing you have： Is it useful? Do I really like it? Do I feel better every time I look at it? If the answer is no to any one of those questions,you should throw it away. Maybe we should ask similar questions about our friends. What kind of friends will you probably need to edit? Sometimes it's an old friend. Somebody who you used to have a lot in common with,but who,when you meet now,you have very little or nothing to say to. Or it might be a new friend who you get on quite well with,but who is taking up too much of your time. Next time one of these people calls you and suggests a meeting,think “Do I really want to see this person?” and if the answer is no,say no,and make an excuse. That way you’ll have more time to spend with your real friends.

1. People need to edit their friends when.

   A. they have moved to a different area

   B. they have no time with their real fiends

   C. some of their friends don't talk very much

   D. their friends are people from work or school

2. What does the word “edit” in the passage mean?

   A. Examine and choose.

   D. Call and meet.

3. People don't need to edit their .

   A. real friends

   B. old friends

   C. young friends

   The shock of the recent earthquake in Pakistan has brought another shock ： the rise of a small,mysterious island,coming out from the water.

   In the aftershock (余震) of the earthquake,people living in Gawadar,near the southwest coast,began to see a strange sight. They looked out into the Arabian Sea and saw a mountain-like shape coming out of the water. ‘‘ I could see this gray,dome-shaped (穹頂形狀的) body in the distance,like a giant whale,” Bahram Baloch,a local journalist,told the BB   C. “Hundreds of people had gathered to watch it in surprise. ”

   When the earthquake happened,the force was so strong that it moved the sea floor,releasing gas. This gas pushed the seabed,mostly rock and sand,upward and out of the water. This is how mud volcanoes (火山) are formed. The island that measures about 20 meters high,30 meters long and 90 meters wide is actually the tip of the mud volcano.

   Is it safe? Although people have visited this new island,scientists have found dangerous gas coming from the newly formed island. “Our team found bubbles rising from the surface of the island,which caught fire when a match was lit,” said Mohammad Danish,a scientist,to Universe Today.

   These mud volcanoes are not rare. But it's striking because this one has popped up in a populated area,and not far out in the sea. However,it's not expected to last very long. Most of these mud volcanoes are swept back under the sea within one year.

   In today's world of modem science and medicine,a more traditional treatment is once again becoming popular—animal friendship.

   It is now well-known that people with problems such as heart disease or cancer live longer and get better more quickly if they have pets. Keeping pets lowers blood pressure and makes people less worried. Animals are increasingly important in treating older people who have memory loss and other brain problems. These people often feel nervous and upset. Activities with animals help them improve their physical condition and also give them joy,entertainment and loving friendship.

   Here is a case that shows the benefits of animals. John was a six-year-old mute. He had no physical problems. He just refused to talk. His older cousin,Ned,had a parrot called Sally,and John used to visit it. When he arrived,Net used to say ,“ Hi,John! ” We all know parrots copy what they hear. After a few visits,Sally began saying “ Hi,John! ” when John came into the room. Then,one day,John turned to the parrot and replied “ Hi,Sally!” Staying with the parrot encouraged John to begin talking.

   Another use of animal helpers is in schools. In some cases,animals are used to help children with physical or personal problems. In other cases,they are used to teach children to get on and share with others,and even to teach them about animals.

   If you want to know more about animal helper programmes,you can get in touch with organizations like Riding for the Disabled or do a search under “animal therapy” on the Internet. You don't have to be an animal trainer or a doctor to join in.
