【題目】閱讀下列短文，從每題所給的四個(gè)選項(xiàng)（A、B、C和D）中，選出最佳選項(xiàng)。
Singles' Day falls on every November 11th. No one is quite sure exactly who first thought it up, and the most widely-accepted story is that it emerged from the dorms of Nanjing University in 1993 when four single male students got together to discuss how to break free of the loneliness of single life. One suggested that because of the ones in the date, November 11 would be a good day to organize activities for singles.
Singles' Day, started by a small group of friends, gradually grew into something like the anti-Valentine's Day, a day China's single young people could use as an excuse to get together and have fun together.
Originally about being with friends and having fun, now Singles' Day is about shopping — mostly online shopping. How did this happen?It's a long story, but the short answer is Alibaba.
By the late 2000s, most of China's Internet users were familiar with Singles' Day. There might have been some small shops online and offline offering sales on that day earlier, but no major company until Alibaba launched its first Singles' Day online sale in 2009.
In that first year, Alibaba was the only major ecommerce company to offer a sale, and it featured just 27 brands offering discounts via its T-mall marketplace. The sale was definitely successful, but it wasn't enough to redefine the holiday on its own.
In the following year, Alibaba went bigger, offering more brands and deeper discounts. But other companies had noticed the potential of the 2009 sales bonanza and decided to follow suit. E-commerce platforms like JD had their first major Singles' Day sales in 2010, and overnight Singles' Day went from a T-mall sale to something that was beginning to look like Cyber Monday in some western countries.
Over the next few years, Alibaba, JD, and other Chinese e-commerce players all expanded their one-day discounts, and sales grew exponentially（以指數(shù)方式）. On Singles' Day in 2012, Alibaba's marketplaces, Taobao and T-mall, did about $3 billion in sales. In 2013 that number nearly doubled, and Chinese shoppers had obliterated America's Cyber Monday spending records in just the first few hours of the sale. And it's only getting bigger.
（1）.We can know that Singles' Day was first set __________.
A.by a large e-commerce company called Alibaba
B.for the young people who want to have fun together
C.to organize activities for singles to get rid of their loneliness
D.to express something against Valentine's Day
（2）.Before 2009 on Singles' Day, single young people were most likely to __________.
A.just spend the day alone
B.have fun with friends
C.do some online shopping
D.go back home to visit parents
（3）.Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage?
A.By 2009, Singles' Day have already became a famous online-shopping day.
B.Cyber Monday in some western countries is to celebrate Singles' Day.
C.In 2013, Alibaba's marketplaces did about nearly $4 billion in sales.
D.Alibaba was the first major e-commerce company to offer a sale on Singles' Day.
（4）.According to the last two paragraphs, we can know that__________.
A.Alibaba played an important part in the new definition of Singles' Day
B.other Chinese e-commerce company like JD followed Cyber Monday
C.Alibaba offered more brands and deeper discounts to make it bigger
D.Alibaba, Taobao,T-mall and JD are different e-commerce companies
（5）.What is the passage mainly about?
A.The origin of Singles' Day.
B.The life of modern young single people.
C.The e-commerce company Alibaba.
D.How Singles' Day become a shopping day.

【答案】
（1）C
（2）B
（3）D
（4）C
（5）D
【解析】① 從第一段“how to break free of the loneliness of single life. One suggested that ... a good day to organize activities for singles.”可知，最初這一天是用來組織一些活動(dòng)打發(fā)孤單無聊的單身生活的。
② 從第五六段可知,光棍節(jié)是在2009年之后才逐漸變成購物節(jié)的。最初的那些年要過這個(gè)節(jié)的年輕人一般也就是朋友一起玩玩。
③ 從第四段“...but no major company until Alibaba launched its first Singles' Day online sale in 2009.”和第五段“In that first year, Alibaba was the only major e-commerce company to offer a sale”可知。
④ 從第三段“How did this happen?It's a long story, but the short answer is Alibaba. ”以及整篇文章最后兩段來看可知，阿里巴巴對于重新定義光棍節(jié)起著很大的作用。
⑤ 整篇文章更多的是在講光棍節(jié)是怎樣從單純的單身節(jié)日變成了購物狂歡節(jié)的。

【題目】Samuel Osmond is a 19yearold law student from Cornwall, England. He never studied the piano. However, he can play very difficult musical pieces by musicians such as Chopin and Beethoven just a few minutes after he hears them. He learns a piece of music by listening to it in parts. Then he thinks about the notes in his head. Two years ago, he played his first piece Moonlight Sonata(奏鳴曲)by Beethoven. He surprised everyone around him.

Amazed that he remembered this long and difficult piece of music and played it perfectly, his teachers say Samuel is unbelievable. They say his ability is very rare, but Samuel doesn't even realize that what he can do is special. Samuel wanted to become a lawyer as it was the wish of his parents, but music teachers told him he should study music instead. Now, he studies law and music.

Samuel can't understand why everyone is so surprised. “I grew up with music. My mother played the piano and my father played the guitar. About two years ago, I suddenly decided to start playing the piano, without being able to read music and without having any lessons. It comes easily to me—I hear the notes and can bear them in mind—each and every note，” says Samuel.

Recently, Samuel performed a piece during a special event at his college. The piece had more than a thousand notes. The audience was impressed by his amazing performance. He is now learning a piece that is so difficult that many professional pianists can't pla it. Samuel says confidently，“It's all about super memory—I guess I have that gift.”

However, Samuel's ability to remember things doesn't stop with music. His family says that even when he was a young boy, Samuel heard someone read a story, and then he could retell the story word for word.

Samuel is still only a teenager. He doesn't know what he wants to do in the future. For now, he is just happy to play beautiful music and continue his studies.

【1】According to Paragraph 1 we can know Samuel Osmond is a talent in ______ ?

A. remembering music.

B.playing the difficult music

C.playing the whole music by listening to it in parts.

D.playing Moonlight Sonata(奏鳴曲)by Beethoven

【2】Samuel Osmond studies law and music because of ______.

A.the wish of his parents.

B.the proposal of his music teacher.

C.the gift of his own.

D.the considerate thought.

【3】What Samuel surprised everyone is that _______.

A.He grew up with music.

B.H decided to start playing the piano.

C.He could bear them in mind—each and every note.

D.He could play the piano without reading music
