【解析】

試題分析：這篇短文介紹了阿里巴巴集團的董事主席馬云，他從小喜歡英語，刻苦練習(xí)，后來他在美國意外接觸到了網(wǎng)絡(luò)，后來在中國開辦了世界最大的電子商務(wù)公司，擁有了淘寶、天貓商城等購物網(wǎng)站。

【1】D詞義猜測題。根據(jù)it上面內(nèi)容介紹馬云在青少年時期每天早晨五點就起床去西湖景區(qū)找外國游客聊天練習(xí)英語，并堅持了九年。因此it指的是上文提到的馬云九年一直在做的事情。故選D。

【2】C細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第三段“And on a 1995 trip to the US, Ma was shown the Internet for the first time. He searched the word “beer” on Yahoo”可知他在美國的雅虎網(wǎng)站上查看“啤酒”。故選C。

【3】C推理判斷題。根據(jù)文中提到1995年在美國的雅虎網(wǎng)查看的啤酒，然后根據(jù)第四段“Four years later, Ma, his wife and his friends set up Alibaba in Hangzhou.”可知是1999年成立的阿里巴巴公司。故選C。

【4】A推理判斷題。根據(jù)最后一段最后一句“owning popular shopping websites like Taobao and Tmall.‘可知，文中并沒有提到淘寶網(wǎng)是馬云成立的第一個網(wǎng)站，所以A不合文意；根據(jù)第一段第三句“On Sept. 19, 2014, Alibaba went public(上市) and raised $25 billion.”可知他的公司上市后賺了很多錢，所以B符合文意；根據(jù)第二段第二句“When he was a teenager, he wanted to learn English.”可知他青少年時期就學(xué)習(xí)英語，所以C符合文意；根據(jù)文中提到他在美國接觸到網(wǎng)絡(luò)，“Seeing the chance”他認為這是一次機會，所以D符合文意。故選A。

【5】A主旨大意題。文中主要介紹馬云創(chuàng)辦了阿里巴巴集團并成功地成為中國首富，創(chuàng)造了歷史。故選A。
