17.Alibaba started taking the lead in China by connecting big Chinese manufacturers (制造商) with big buyers across the world.Its business-to-business site,Alibaba.com allowed business to buy almost everything,Alibaba's advantage wasn't hard to judge:size.Alibaba is just big,even by Chinese standards.Its market attracts 231 million active buyers.8million sellers,11.3 billion orders a year-and Alibaba is just the middleman.It encourages people to use its markets-not charging small sellers a percentage of the sale.
If you warn a quick look into the influence of Alibaba on daily Chinese life,lake my experience.I moved to Beijing u year ago and quickly got tired of visiting small stores across the crowded,polluted city of 20million people in search of new electronics,bathroom furnishings,and anything else my wife wanted."You're looking for what exactly?Why not cry it?"my Chinese teacher asked me one day.With that,my wonderful new relationship with Alibaba began.
Alibaba's original business-to-business model now is second to consumer buying.Chinese retail (零售) buying makes up 80% of Alibaba's profit,and leading that group is Taobao,with 800 million items for sale and the most unbelievable selection of things you'll ever find.TMall.com is Alibaba's other big site,where you can find brand name goods from Nike and Unilever near the lowest prices.
What I have a hard time explaining to friends and family back in the U.S.is how China has gone beyond traditional shopping-big-box retailers especially-in favor of online purchases on Taobao and a few other sites.In smaller towns than Beijing,where big retailers have not yet traveled,shopping online is shopping,and shopping is Taobao.
I have a list of some of my recent purchases on Taobao for a sense of how wide the marketplace is.Almost everything arrived a day or two after ordering with free shipping.I'm not even a big buyer,because I need friends to help me search the Chinese-language site.When I was searching my purchase history on my Chinese teacher's iPad,which helps me buy goods,I looked through with great difficulty about 10of her purchases tor every one of mine.

28.Alibaba's advantage mainly lies inB.
A.its low price
B.its big size
C.its not charging small sellers
D.its business-to-business service
29.We know from the passage that AlibabaC.
A.will continue to develop.
B.charges all the sellers on its site a percentage of the sale.
C.a(chǎn)cts as a bridge between the buyers and sellers
D.is of middle size among all the online sites.
30.What can be inferred from the passage?D
A.Alibaba's business-to-business service earns more money than retail.
B.TMall.com provides more profit than Taobao.
C.Taobao has no envious advantage over other similar online sites.
D.The author's Chinese teacher is also an online purchase lover.
31.What is the passage mainly about?D
A.Shopping online in China is TaoBao
B.How the author purchases online in China.
C.Shopping online goes beyond traditional shopping.
D.Alibaba influences people's daily purchase in China.

分析 阿里巴巴是中國最大的網(wǎng)購平臺,零售交易額巨大,對中國人的日常購買方式產(chǎn)生了很大影響.

解答 28.B.細節(jié)理解題.根據(jù)第一段中的Alibaba's advantage wasn't hard to identify:size.Alibaba is just big,even by Chinese standards.可知,阿里巴巴的優(yōu)勢在于它的規(guī)模龐大.故選B.
29.C.推理判斷題.本句句意為:阿里巴巴只是中間商.也就是說阿里巴巴只擔(dān)當(dāng)了買家和賣家之間的橋梁,并不直接賣東西.故選C.
30.D.推理判斷題.根據(jù)文章最后一句When I was searching my purchase history on my Chinese teacher's iPad,which helps me buy goods,I looked through with great difficulty about 10 of her purchases for every one of mine.可知,我的中國老師非常喜歡網(wǎng)上購物.故選D.
31.D.主旨大意題.阿里巴巴是中國最大的網(wǎng)購平臺,零售交易額巨大,對中國人的日常購買方式產(chǎn)生了很大影響.故選D.

點評 本文主要難點在推理判斷題.需要考生找出相關(guān)語句,還要通過上下文推斷出題中所問,考察閱讀理解以及推理能力.

9.Driving on up to Yosemite with my family was exciting but nerve-racking (神經(jīng)緊張的).I had never been to such an amazing national park before,yet I wasn't the most athletic person so I knew that I couldn't stick through all the hiking up and down.It actually ended up being a fun and adventurous experience.
The ride there was definitely long but worth it.As I woke up from my nap,I saw the beautiful scenery of the tall mountains and beautiful streams.The trails were made nicely for visitors.The waterfalls were breathtaking.Climbing up rocks was one of my favorite parts.Even though I fell a couple of times,I still have a lot of fun.The fact that my family and I spent so much time together all trying to find out which route to take and what views to watch really brought us closer together.
The great thing about nature is that,it's just you,the views,and the people around you.There's nothing there to bother you and it's the best way to relax and enjoy yourself.Yosemite has 5of the world's highest waterfalls,and about 300lakes.The structure of each mountain is incredible; it's formed in ways that almost take your breath away.Some of them are of a deep dark color with waterfalls forming; some are formed with spots of green peeking (窺探) out.It's definitely something you wouldn't want to miss.Yosemite isn't the only great National Park but based on my experience I highly recommend going out and enjoying nature with family and friends.It's a great time to bond,laugh,and take in what Mother Nature offers.

9.The author writes the first paragraph mainly toC.
A.tell us his future plan for hiking
B.offer an example to us
C.introduce the topic of this passage
D.describe a national park
10.While climbing up rocks,the author wasA.
A.pleased     B.injured     C.nerve-racking D.worried
11.According to the passage,YosemiteD.
A.is crowded with visitors every day
B.is the only great National Park
C.is nothing but a common destination
D.is worth travelling to.
12.The author suggests usC.
A.keeping a good bond with other people
B.visiting Yosemite now and then
C.going out to enjoy the beauty of nature
D.trying to protect the environment.
