分析 文章大意:本文講述的是阿里巴巴董事局主席馬云,他從小喜歡英語,刻苦練習,后來在美國意外接觸到了網(wǎng)絡,然后在中國開辦了世界上最大的網(wǎng)絡公司,擁有了淘寶、天貓等購物網(wǎng)站.
解答 41.D 詞義猜測題.根據(jù)it上面的內(nèi)容every morning,he got up at 5a.m.,rode his bike for 40minutes to a hotel near the West Lake and talked with foreign tourists in English可知馬云在青少年時期,每天堅持五點起床,騎車去西湖找外國游客練習英語,并堅持了九年,因此it指的是馬云在這九年一直在做的事情,因此選D.
42.A 推理判斷題.根據(jù)文章最后一段最后一句Alibaba has developed into the world's largest e-commerce company(電子商務公司),owning popular shopping websites like Taobao and Tmall可知文章沒有提到淘寶網(wǎng)是馬云成立的第一個網(wǎng)站,而是中國黃頁,因此A不合文意,故答案選A.
43.A 主旨大意題.本文講的是馬云創(chuàng)立了阿里巴巴并且成為中國首富,創(chuàng)造了歷史,因此答案選A.
