10．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，8 million 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 want a quick look into the influence of Alibaba on daily Chinese life，take my experience．I moved to Beijing a year ago and quickly got tired of visiting small stores across the crowded，polluted city of 20 million people in search of new electronics（電子產(chǎn)品），bathroom furnishings，and anything else my wife wanted．"You're looking for what exactly？Why not try 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（商品） 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（購物） on Taobao and a few other sites．In smaller towns than Beiji ng，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 10 of her purchases for every one of mine．
28．Alibaba's advantage mainly lies in（位于）B．
A．its low price                            B．its big size
C．its not charging small sellers         D．its business-to-business service 
29．What can we learn from the underlined sentence in the passage？
C
A．Alibaba will continue to develop．
B．Alibaba stands out as the best online site．
C．Alibaba acts as a bridge between the buyers and sellers．
D．Alibaba is of middle size among all the online sites．
30 What can be inferred from the passage？
B
A．TMall．com provides more profit than Taobao．
B．The author's Chinese teacher is also an online purchase lover．
C．Taobao has no obvious advantage over other similar online sites．
D．Alibaba's business-to-business service earns more money than retail．
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 本文屬于議論文閱讀，作者通過這篇文章向我們介紹了阿里巴巴通過連接制造商與世界各地的大買主開始居于中國主導地位，以及阿里巴巴對人們生活所產(chǎn)生的巨大影響．

解答 28．B  細節(jié)理解題，根據(jù)第一段Alibaba's advantage wasn't hard to judge：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，它就算用中國的標準來看依然很大，故選B．
29．C  推理判斷題，根據(jù)第一段 Alibaba is just the middleman．可知阿里巴巴在買方與賣方之間充當著橋梁的角色，他是一個中間商，故選C．
30．B  推理判斷題，根據(jù)第二段"You're looking for what exactly？Why not try it？"my Chinese teacher asked me one day．With that，my wonderful new relationship with Alibaba began．可知作者的中文老師也是一個網(wǎng)上購物愛好者，故選B．
31．D  細節(jié)理解題，根據(jù)可知推理判斷題，通讀全文可知作者在本文中介紹了他在中國的親身經(jīng)歷，以此說明阿里巴巴對人們在中國的日常購買產(chǎn)生的重要影響，故選D．

點評 考查學生的細節(jié)理解和推理判斷能力．做細節(jié)理解題時一定要找到文章中的原句，和題干進行比較，再做出正確選擇．在做推理判斷題時不要以個人的主觀想象代替文章的事實，要根據(jù)文章事實進行合乎邏輯的推理判斷．

5．Selfie
Social media and the mobile web have given rise to（導致） a strange phenomenon called the selfie（自拍）．It refers to a picture of yourself，usually shared on any social networking website．
（36）A．Some selfies are extreme close-ups（特寫鏡頭），and others show part of an arm held straight outward．A few of them even feature the subject standing in front of a bathroom mirror．
Everyone takes selfies，but the younger crowd seems to be especially involved in the trend．Young people are relatively heavier digital users．They are interested in staying connected to their friends．（37）C．
There are also kinds of psychological factors driving people to take a selfie and upload it to a social networking site．（38）G．A quick and easy way to attract other's attention is to get"likes"and comments from friends．Secondly，it's human nature to show off your own great achievements．When you feel good about yourself or look good，it's far too easy to take out your phone and document it all through one or several selfies．（39）F．That's right．Sometimes people are bored at work，bored at school，bored at home and even bored on the toilet．Last but not least，social media is about being social!If that means uploading as many selfies as possible，then so be it．It's fun，and it's a cool way to sort of document your own life．
Finally，there are things to be mindful of when you're posting．It's easy to think you're sharing a photo with a few people．（40）E．So don't post anything online，selfie especially．

A．There are lots of selfie styles．
B．The rise of selfies has become universal．
C．Social media，to some extent，is the driving force of their selfie activity．
D．The desire to take，post and get"likes"on selfies goes back to a biological behavior．
E．But the whole world of social media is public and every individual can get access to it．
F．There are also people who will take selfies because they have nothing else better to do．
G．The leading factor is that people want to get attention from as many people as possible．

15．When I was about 12，I had an enemy，a girl who liked to point out my shortcomings（缺點）．Week by week her list grew：I was very thin，I wasn't a good student，I talked too much，I was too proud，and so on．I tried to hear all this as long as I could．At last，I became very angry．I ran to my father with tears in my eyes．
He listened to me quietly，then he asked．"Are the things she says true or not？Janet，didn't you ever wonder what you're really like？Well，you now have that girl's opinion．Go and make a list of everything she said and mark the points that are true．Pay no attention to the other things she said．"
I did as he told me．To my great surprise，I discovered that about half the things were true．Some of them I couldn't change （like being very thin），but a good number I could-and suddenly I wanted to change．For the first time I go to fairly clear picture of myself．
I brought the list back to Daddy．He refused to take it．"That's just for you，"he said．"You know better than anyone else the truth about yourself．But you have to learn to listen，not just close your ears in anger and feeling hurt．When something said about you is true，you'll find it will be of help to you．Our world is full of people who think they know your duty．Don't shut your ears．Listen to them all，but hear the truth and do what you know is the right thing to do．"
Daddy's advice has returned to me at many important moments．In my life，I've never had a better piece of advice．
28．What did the father do after he had heard his daughter's complaint？C
A．He told her not to pay any attention to what her"enemy"had said．

C．He told her to write down all that her"enemy"had said about her and pay attention only to
the things that were true．
D．He refused to take the list and have a look at it．
29．What does"Week by week her list grew"mean？A
A．Week by week she discovered more shortcomings of mine and pointed them out to me．
B．She had made a list of my shortcomings and she kept on adding new ones to it so that it was growing longer and longer．
C．I was having more and more shortcomings as time went on．
D．Week by week，my shortcomings grew more serious．
30．Why did her father listen to her quietly？A
A．Because he believed that what her daughter's"enemy"said was mostly true．
B．Because he had been so angry with his daughter's shortcomings that he wanted to show this by keeping silent for a while．
C．Because he knew that his daughter would not listen to him at that moment．
D．Because he wasn't quite sure which girl was telling the truth．
31．Which do you think would be the best title for this passage？B
A．Not an Enemy，but the Best Friend     
B．The Best Advice I've Ever Had                                             
C．My Father
