Alibaba started taking the lead in China， simply enough， 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 identify: size． Alibaba is just big， even by Chinese standards． Its marketplaces attract 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 almost 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，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 secondary 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 extensive 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．
1.Alibaba’s advantage mainly lies in ___________．
A． its big size
B． its business-to-business service
C． its not charging small sellers
D． its low price
2.What can we learn from the underlined sentence in the passage？
A． Alibaba is of middle size among all the online sites
B． Alibaba will continue to develop．
C． Alibaba stands out as the best online site．
D． Alibaba acts as a bridge between the buyers and sellers．
3.What does the underlined word “it” in Paragraph 2 refer to？
A． a new store
B． Alibaba
C． a business
D． a foreign website
4.What can be inferred from the passage？
A． The author’s Chinese teacher is also an online purchase lover．
B． Taobao has no obvious advantage over other similar online sites．
C． Alibaba’s business-to-business service earns more money than retail now．
D． TMall．com provides more profit than Taobao．
5.What is the passage mainly about？
A． Shopping online is TaoBao．
B． The influence of shopping online goes beyond traditional shopping．
C． Alibaba greatly influences people’s daily purchase in China．
D． How the author purchases online in China．

科目：高中英语 来源：2016届山东德州高三上学期期末统考英语试卷（解析版） 题型：阅读理解
I saw a dear friend a few days ago and stopped by to ask her how she was doing．She looked up，voice lowered，just complaining：“I'm so busy…have so much going on”
Almost immediately after，I ran into another friend and asked him how he was．Again，the same tone，the same response：“I'm just so busy…got so much to do．”
Their responses knocked me down．How did we create a world in which we have more and more to do with less time for leisure，less time for reflection，less time for community? When did we forget that we are human beings，not human doings? What happened to a world in which we can sit with the people we love so much and have slow conversations with meaningful pauses and silences that we are in no rush to fill?
This disease of being “busy” is spiritually destructive to our health and well-being．It weakens our ability to be fully present with those we love the most in our families, and keeps us from forming the kind of community that we all so desperately tong for．
I don’t have any magical solutions．All I know is that we are losing the ability to live a truly human life．I am always a prisoner of hope, but I wonder if we are willing to make a change to our so-called busyness of life．Somehow we need a different model of organizing our lives，our societies，and our families．
I want us to have a kind of existence where we can pause，look each other in the eye，touch one another，and ask ourselves：Here is how my heart is doing，I am taking the time to reflect on my own existence，and I know how to express the state of my heart．
1.What’s the result of the busy lifestyle?
A．People will become forgetful in their everyday life．
B．People are beginning to find some time for leisure．
C．People may lose the ability of enjoying their life．
D．People will further understand the importance of community．
2.How can we live a relaxed and balanced life according to the author?
A．By seeking help from local families．
B．By improving our working ability．
C．By reconstructing the model of our lives．
D．By creating a smarter open community．
3.Calling himself a prisoner of hope，the author means that .
A．he thinks people won’t change
B．he actually has magical solutions
C．it is harmful to have many hopes
D．he is always optimistic about life
4.What is the purpose of the author writing the article?
A．To express concerns about people’s complaints．
B．To criticize and reflect on the people’s present lifestyle．
C．To voice his opinions on how to live a simple life．
D．To question whether it is possible to live a slow life．

科目：高中英语 来源：2016届吉林大学附中高三上学期第四次摸底考英语试卷（解析版） 题型：阅读理解
Cleverness is a gift while kindness is a choice. Gifts are easy—they’re given after all. Choices can be hard.
I got the idea to start Amazon 16 years ago. I came across the fact that the Internet usage was growing at 2,300 percent per year. I’d never seen or heard of anything that grew that fast, and the idea of building an online bookstore with millions of titles was very exciting to me. I had just turned 30 years old, and I’d been married for a year. I told my wife Mac kenzie that I wanted to quit my job and go to do this crazy thing that probably wouldn’t work since most start-ups don’t and I wasn’t sure what to expect. Mac kenzie told me I should go for it. As a young boy, I’d been a garage inventor. I’d always wanted to be an inventor, and she wanted me to follow my passion.
I was working at a financial firm in New York City with a bunch of very smart people and I had a brilliant boss that I much admired. I went to my boss and told him I wanted to start a company selling books on the Internet. He took me on a long walk in Central Park, listened carefully to me, and finally said, “That sounds like a really good idea, but it would be an even better idea for someone who didn’t already have a good job.” That logic made some sense to me, and he convinced me to think about it for 48 hours before making a final decision. Seen in that light, it was really a difficult choice, but finally, I decided I had to give it a shot. I didn’t think I’d regret trying and failing. And I suspected I would always be haunted (萦绕) by a decision to not try at all.
After much consideration, I took the less safe path to follow my passion, and I’m proud of that choice. For all of us, in the end, we are our choice.
1.What inspired the author with the idea of building an online bookstore?
A. His dream of being an inventor.
B. The support of his wife.
C. The greatly increasing usage of the Internet.
D. The successful boss that he admired.
2. Which of the following is closest in meaning to the underlined sentence?
A. The idea of not trying would keep coming to his mind and disturb him.
B. He would be very excited if he tried it out.
C. He would be always having a doubt if he didn’t try.
D. The decision to not try the online bookstore would terrify him.
3.We can know from the passage that ________.
A. the boss thought the idea was suitable for the author
B. the author might not regret if he failed the attempt
C. the author wanted someone else to try the idea
D. the author might go back to his boss if he failed
4.Which of the following would be the best title for the passage?
A. Cleverness and Kindness
B. The Starting of Amazon
C. Following My Passion
D. We Are What We Choose
