When the magazine first reported last summer that Jenner would take over the title, she was met with debate from critics who argued over whether her success was “self-made” or merely because of being born into an already famous and wealthy family.

“I can't say I’ve done it by myself. I don’t have any inherited (通过继承得到的) money, but I have had a lot of help and a huge platform,” Jenner told Forbes when talking about her billionaire status. “I didn't expect anything. I did not foresee the future. But the recognition feels really good. That’s a nice pat on the back.

【答案】

4B

【解析】

本文为一篇说明文。文章介绍了21岁的亿万富翁Kylie Jenner

1细节理解题。根据第一段中的She made the majority of her fortune from her best-selling cosmetics (化妆品) business Kylie Cosmetics, which she started at the age of 15.可知,她大部分的财富来自于她15岁时创办的畅销化妆品企业凯莉化妆品(Kylie cosmetics)。由此可知,Kylie Jenner的大部分财富来自她的化妆品生意。故选D项。

2推理判断题。根据第二段中的Kylie Jenner was born in August 1997. She got into business at a young age. When she was 14, she created a line of clothing for a fashion brand. A year later, she launched her own cosmetics line called Kylie Lip Kits, which transformed into Kylie Cosmetics.可知,Kylie Jenner生于19978月。她很小就开始经商了。14岁时,她为一个时装品牌设计了一系列服装。一年后,她推出了自己的化妆品生产线,称为凯莉唇膏,这转化为凯莉化妆品。因此,Kylie Jenner2012年开始自己的凯莉化妆品的生意。故选A项。

3细节理解题。根据倒数第二段中的When the magazine first reported last summer that Jenner would take over the title, she was met with debate from critics who argued over whether her success was “self-made” or merely because of being born into an already famous and wealthy family.可知,去年夏天,当杂志首次报道Jenner将接任这一头衔时,她遭到了评论家们的争论,他们争论Jenner的成功是“白手起家”还是仅仅因为她出生在一个已经名扬四海的富裕家庭。因此,评论家们争论的是Kylie Jenner是否是独自一人取得成功的。故选C项。

4词义猜测题。根据前文I didn't expect anything. I did not foresee the future. But the recognition feels really good.可知,我什么都没想到。我没有预见到未来。但这种认同感真的很好。由此推测,Kylie Jenner对入选亿万富翁感觉非常好,这是对她的巨大认同和鼓励。B项“一个巨大的鼓励”符合语境。故选B项。

Mistakes are unavoidable in life. But attitudes towards it may make a difference.

I still remember how my spoken English was improved. In a beginning, I always kept silent in our oral class to avoid make mistakes. Before long my teacher got to know about my situation. He encouraged me to speak out that I thought. Whenever I made mistakes and felt discouraging, my teacher and my classmates would help me figure out how I must have avoided them. I also joined in an English club to get more chances to speak. Practice made perfect. Now I can talk fluent in English.

Just as the saying goes, “Every bean has its black.” Don’t afraid of making mistakes. Learn from mistakes, and success is just waiting for us.

【题目】In 1971, UN scholar Paolo Lugari started an eco-social experiment in Gaviotas, Colombia. Located in one of the most extreme climates, Gaviotas was described as a sustainable, self-sufficient village in an area that Lugari called ‘just a big, wet desert’.

‘They always put social experiments in the easiest places,’ Lugari said.’We wanted the hardest place. We figured if we could do it here, we could do it anywhere.’

‘Lugari just thought that someday the world would become so crowded that humans would have to learn to live in the planet's least desirable areas,’ wrote Alan Weisman, author of Gaviotas: A Village to Reinvent the World.

Today, Gaviotas is an eco-village with about 200 people. They farm organically. They use wind and solar power. Since 2004, Gaviotas has been 100% fossil fuel independent. The residents also enjoy free housing, schooling, and community meals. Shockingly, there are no weapons, no police, no jail and no mayor. But though these elements would make any social experiment a success, perhaps the most remarkable accomplishment is the planting of 1.5 million pine trees and palm trees. The various results of this new tree growth have been incredible. The shade of the trees has inspired the return of many rainforest species that were once native to the region. Additionally, the residents of Gaviotas enjoy a sustainable source of income from the resin(松香) harvested from the trees.

The United Nations named Gaviotas a model of sustainable development. The Colombia novelist and Noble Prize winner Grabriel Marquez called Lugari the ‘inventor of the world’.

A new study by a team of researchers has found that ‘nature's capacity to store carbon is steadily falling as the world's farmers expand croplands at the cost of the native ecosystem such as forests’.

Considering this disturbing fact—and as the world population increases towards an estimated 9 billion by the year 2050 and global warming continues to increase the planet's surface temperature—Gaviotas stands as one shining example of how things could be different.

1Before the year 1971,________.

A. there was never any rain in Gaviotas

B. Gaviotas was one of the hardest places to live on the planet

C. scientists did many social experiments in Gaviotas

D. Lugari often visited Gaviotas

2Gaviotas has developed into a sustainable, self-sufficient village thanks to________.

A. the government's great support

B. people's organic farming

C. Lugari's great contribution

D. the United Nations' research

3The fourth paragraph is intended to tell us ________.

A. the income of people in Gaviotas

B. the public security situation of Gaviotas

C. the rainforest species in Gaviotas

D. the living conditions of people in Gaviotas

4What is the passage mainly about?

A. A village that reinvented the world.

B. A person who planted many trees.

C. How a small village turned into a business center.

D. The importance of protecting the environment.

【题目】 Imagine a small group of people with a shared passion for the same craft. They all have different skills and approaches, but they come together to share skills, share stories, and share in the joy of making something.

Modern maker culture is filling headlines and lab spaces all over the world. The way makers communicate with each other has changed over time. In the past, skills mainly came from personal sit-downs with members of the group. But sometimes a teacher wasn’t available, or the one available didn' t know how to do the skill others wanted to learn.

Today a teacher doesn' t even have to be in the same country or occupy the same decade as the students. Thanks to the work of people who take the time to break down and share the details of their craft, an interested individual can learn anything. Guides may range from videos to diagrams and text. Regardless of the media, maker resources are meant to be shared.

One of the features of the maker movement is the crossover between different interests. Perhaps a passion for cars and for leathercraft can result in a truly custom interior (定制的内饰). Perhaps a love of knitting (编织)and robotics will result in a tiny ——but very mobile ——robotic furry cat.

And once you have started your creation, finding a community to share with is no longer limited to the people nearby. Modern makers have been sharing videos of their progress online for years, contributing greatly to the rapid spread of the maker movement. As different as the participants might be, they share enthusiasm, support, and a willingness to try.

Imagine making a ping-pong table together with your makers' team. One group builds the basic frame. Another group takes on the responsibility of painting. You knit the net. There is joy in just giving it a try. It will remind you of childhood creations. Whether you are an experienced programmer or just picking up a hammer for the first time, it is never a bad time to come up with an idea, try something, and share the results.

1How did makers communicate with each other in the past?

A.By meeting face to face.

B.By asking personal questions.

C.By visiting a teacher together.

D.By sitting together in a classroom.

2What does the underlined word " crossover" in Paragraph 4 mean?

A.Exchange.B.Difference.

C.Combination.D.Independence.

3What greatly speeds up the spread of modern maker culture?

A.The sharing of videos on the Internet.

B.The development of education.

C.The increasing willingness to share.

D.The increasing number of participants.

4Why does the author mention making a ping-pong table in the last paragraph?

A.To advise us to start small.

B.To inspire some creative ideas.

C.To stress the importance of childhood creations.

D.To encourage us to join in the maker movement.
