What they have to do is waiting for the goods sent to their homes. We shall all be grateful to the pioneers of online shopping for bringing us such convenience.‎ Michael Aldrich (the U．K.)‎ Online shopping was invented and pioneered by Michael Aldrich in the U．K. In 1979 he connected a television via a telephone line to a realtime multiuser transaction (交易) processing computer. He sold mainly BusinesstoBusiness systems. There were a number of significant world firsts with new applications in several business fields.‎ Jeff Bezos (the U．S.A.)‎ Jeff Bezos defined online shopping and rewrote the rules of commerce. Tim BernersLee invented the World Wide Web server and browser (浏览器) in 1990. In 1994, Jeff Bezos read an article about how the World Wide Web was growing by 2,300% a year. He knew he had to tap into such a great potential for commerce. On July 6, 1995, Bezos launched Amazon.com, which operated out of the garage of his twobedroom home in suburban Seattle, Washington. With almost no publicity, sales took off immediately. The company ‎ has now expanded into dozens of product categories, forcing the world's biggest retailer (零售商) to rethink their business models, and finally changing the way people shop.‎ Jack Ma (China)‎ As a child, Jack Ma was bad at math but fascinated by English. He traveled to the United States in 1995 as a translator to help a Chinese firm recover payment. The attempt failed. But a friend in Seattle showed Ma the Internet, and an idea began brewing.‎ In 1999, Mr. Ma gathered 17 friends and founded Alibaba in his apartment in Hangzhou. Alibaba's model was simple: allow small and mediumsized Chinese companies to find global buyers they would otherwise only be able to meet at trade shows. It works brilliantly. Alibaba's sales are now more than those of eBay and Amazon combined.‎ 语篇解读：本文主要介绍了对网上购物有深远影响的三位人物以及他们对电子商务的促进作用。‎ ‎1．What made Amazon.com a success?‎ A．BusinesstoBusiness systems.‎ B．The World Wide Web server and browser.‎ C．Commercial publicity.‎ D．Help from retailers.‎ 解析：选B　细节理解题。根据第三段的“Tim BernersLee invented the World Wide Web server and browser (浏览器) in 1990.”及“With almost no publicity, sales took off immediately.”可知，亚马逊公司依托互联网发展迅猛。故选B项。‎ ‎2．How did Jack Ma have the idea of founding Alibaba?‎ A．A translator helped him.‎ B．A Chinese firm inspired him.‎ C．He was introduced to the Internet.‎ D．He was funded by some companies.‎ 解析：选C　细节理解题。根据第四段最后一句“But a friend in Seattle showed Ma the Internet, and an idea began brewing.”可知，当朋友把互联网介绍给马云时，他开始有了想法。故选C项。‎ ‎3．What do the pioneers have in common?‎ A．They have improved computers.‎ B．They have sold goods worldwide.‎ C．They have enlarged product categories.‎ D．They have contributed to online shopping.‎ 解析：选D　推理判断题。根据介绍的人物可知，他们都在互联网背景下从事商业贸易活动，因此他们都对网上购物起到了推动作用。故选D项。‎ B ‎(2018·河南省八市测评)I always believed that my parents had a good marriage, but just before I, the youngest of four children, turned sixteen, my belief was painfully tested. My father, who used to share in the chores around the house, gradually started becoming downhearted. From the time he came home from his job to the time he went to bed, he hardly spoke a word to my mom or us kids. The strain on my mom and dad's relationship was very evident. However, I was not prepared for the day that Mom told us that Dad had decided to leave. All that I could think of was that I was going to become a product of a divorced family. It was something I never thought possible, and it grieved me greatly, I kept telling myself that it wasn't going to happen, and I went totally numb when I knew my ‎ dad was really leaving. The night before he left, I stayed up in my room for a long time. I prayed and I cried and I wrote a long letter to my dad. I told him how much I loved him and how much I would miss him. I told him that I was praying for him and wanted him to know that, no matter what, Jesus and I loved him. I told him that I would always and forever be his Krissie ... his Noodles. As I folded my note, I stuck in a picture of me with a saying I had always heard：“Anyone can be a father, but it takes someone special to be a daddy.”‎ Early the next morning, as my dad left our house, I sneaked out to the car and slipped my letter into one of his bags.‎ Two weeks went by with hardly a word from my father. Then, one afternoon, I came home from school to find my mom sitting at the dining room table waiting to talk to me. I could see in her eyes that she had been crying. She told me that Dad had been there and that they had talked for a long time. They decided that there were things that both of them could and would change and that their marriage was worth saving. Mom then turned her focus to my eyes.‎ ‎“Krissie, Dad told me that you wrote him a letter. Can I ask what you wrote to him？”‎ I found it hard to share with my mom what I had written from my heart to my dad. I mumbled a few words and shrugged.‎ A few days later my dad was back. We never talked about the letter, my dad and I. I guess I always figured that it was something that was a secret between us.‎ 语篇解读：本文是一篇记叙文，讲述的是在父亲要和母亲离婚时，作者给父亲写了一封信，这封信挽救了父母的婚姻。后来父亲又回到了家人的身边。‎ ‎4．What happened to the author's parents when she was sixteen?‎ A．They left her alone.‎ B．They were getting divorced.‎ C．They shared in the chores together.‎ D．They had a good marriage.‎ 解析：选B　细节理解题。根据第一段中的“but just before I ... tested”和“The strain on my mom and dad's relationship was very evident.

D．Made sb. greedy.‎ 解析：选C　词义猜测题。结合全文内容尤其是画线词前的“It was something I never thought possible”可知，作者并不希望父亲离开他们，所以当时她非常伤心。‎ ‎6．What can we learn from the passage?‎ A．The author handed the letter directly to her father.‎ B．The author's father wrote back to her when he finished reading the letter.‎ C．The author's letter made a difference to her father.‎ D．The author shared what she wrote with her mother.‎ 解析：选C　推理判断题。根据第三段中的“She told me that ... was worth saving”和第四段中的“Krissie, Dad told me that you wrote him a letter”以及最后一段中的“A few days later my dad was back”可知，作者给父亲写的信对父亲起了作用。‎ ‎7．What might be the best title for the passage?‎ A．A Promise Kept B．A Letter of Apology C．A Broken Family D．A Great Daddy 解析：选A　标题归纳题。根据全文内容尤其是最后一段的“it was something that was a secret between us”可推知，作者和父亲在那封信中可能作了约定，因此选A。‎ Ⅱ.阅读七选五 In our fast world of phones, fax machines and computers, the oldfashioned art of letter writing is at risk of disappearing altogether. __1__ There is the excitement of its arrival, the pleasure of seeing who it is from and, finally, the enjoyment of the contents.‎ Letter writing has been part of my life for as long as I can remember. It probably began with the little notes I would write to my mother. My mother, also, always insisted I write my own thankyou letters for Christmas and birthday presents. __2__‎ When I left home at 18 to train as a doctor in London, I would write once a week, and so would my mother. Occasionally my father would write and it was always a joy to receive his long, amusing letters. __3__ Of course, we also made phone calls but it is the letters I remember most.‎ There were also letters from my boyfriends. In my youth I seemed to attract people who had to work or study away at some time and I was only able to stay in touch with them by letter. __4__ I found that I could often express myself more easily in writing than by talking.‎ I love the letters that come with birthday or Christmas cards. Notes are appreciated, but how much better to have a year's supply of news! And it's better still when it's an airmail envelope with ‎ beautiful stamps.‎ ‎__5__ Like my mother before me, I insist they write their own thankyou letters. My daughter writes to me little letters, just as I did to my mother. I strongly urge readers not to allow letter writing to become another “lost art”．‎ A．Poor handwriting can spoil (破坏) your enjoyment of a letter.‎ B．We had been corresponding (通信) for 29 years but had never met.‎ C．I am pleased that my children are carrying on the tradition.‎ D．It didn't matter how short or untidy they were as long as they were letters.‎ E．But instead of harming the relationships, letter writing seemed to improve them.‎ F．Yet, to me, receiving a letter cannot be matched by any other form of communication.‎ G．The letters from home contained just everyday events concerning my parents and their friends.‎ 语篇解读：本文主要阐述了在数码时代的背景下，作者对书信的怀念，并庆幸写书信成为家庭传统。‎ ‎1．选F　上一句提到现代数码通信使书信到了要完全消失的危险境地，下一句又说收到书信的美妙感受，所以此处过渡要有转折含义且体现出书信对作者的吸引力，故选F项(但是，对我来说，收到一封信是其他任何通信方式都比不了的)。‎ ‎2．选D　上文提到母亲坚持让作者在圣诞节和生日写感谢信，D项(无论长短，无论工整与否，只要写信就可以)符合语境。‎ ‎3．‎ 选G　本段提到作者18岁时离家和父母书信联系，此处应该侧重家书的意义。G项(家书里面包含关于我的父母和他们的朋友日常的事情)符合语境，故选G项。‎ ‎4．选E　空格前一句提到我只能用书信和他们保持联系，空格后一句意思是“我发现比起谈话，书信经常能让我更轻松地表达自己的观点”，所以空格处应侧重体现这种书信联系对维系友谊的作用及意义，故选E项(但写信不仅没有毁掉我们的关系，反而似乎促进了我们的友谊)。‎ ‎5．选C　根据最后一段中的“Like ...I insist they write their own thankyou letters. My daughter writes to me little letters, just as I did to my mother.”可知，作者成为母亲后坚持让儿女自己写感谢信，这一传统被沿用，故C项(我很高兴我的孩子正在沿用这个传统)符合语境。‎
