Jack Ma will quit his role as chairman on September 10, 2019. Surprisingly, in a country where 70 to 80 percent of private companies are still family run, Mr. Ma did not name a family member. Rather, one of the world’s largest e-commerce companies will be led by Daniel Zhang, an 11-year Alibaba old hand chosen only for his “professional talent.”‎ The history of many countries can be marked by a trend away from dependence on family succession in business, or the belief that qualities of leadership flow through bloodlines. Ma is a true innovator(创新者)in many ways, most famously for building an innovative online shopping market worth more than the economies of most countries. But his legacy(遗产)may lie in showing how China as well as much of Asia can produce founders of successful organizations unwilling to pass the torch to relatives.‎ ‎“Alibaba was never about Jack Ma,” he stated in announcing his succession plan. Instead, the former schoolteacher who came from lowly origins is stepping back from day-to-day operations because he has built a system that takes root in a company culture ‎ based on innovation, transparency, and responsibility. “For the last 10 years, we kept working on these ingredients,” he stated.‎ The company’s future will depend on developing a wealth of talent that drives innovation, he said. And in a society with a long tradition of cautious distrust toward those outside the family circle, Ma has built an “architecture of trust” with customers, who number over half a billion. Chinese now readily rely on Alibaba’s online payment system, its ratings of products and services, and other trust-building systems or methods pioneered by the company.‎ China’s rapid growth now produces a new billionaire almost every day. Many of them, like Ma, have favored systems of management based on talent and honesty. As many countries have discovered as they progress, it is better to swim in a talent pool, not a gene pool.‎ ‎24．What do we know about Daniel Zhang from the passage?‎ A．He’s a talented professor.‎ B．He’s an experienced employee.‎ C．He’s a successful founder.‎ D．He’s Chairman of Alibaba.‎ ‎25．Where does Ma’s legacy lie in?‎ A．Becoming a successful innovative founder.‎ B．Casting doubt on traditional succession plan.‎ C．Providing creative answers to succession problems.‎ D．Representing trends towards non-family-run companies.‎ ‎26．What seems to be the recipe for the company’s future success?‎ A．Trust-building methods.‎ B．The “architecture of trust”.‎ C．A culture of talent development.‎ D．The latest successful innovations.‎ ‎27．What can be a suitable title for the text?‎ A．Prefer Qualities to Blood.‎ B．Train a Potential Successor.‎ C．Favor Genes over Talents.‎ D．Provide New Management.‎ ‎ C It was many years ago. I was a young dad sitting on the couch reading a fairy tale to my little girl. She sat next to me with her head on my arm as I told the tale. When it came to the end I finished with those famous words: “And they lived happily ever after.” As I looked over to her with her brown hair and big, innocent eyes, I could see the smile on her face and I never wanted it to end. Then I realized that the ending of the book was what I wanted for her. I wanted her to “live happily ever after”.‎ Still, deep in my heart I knew that this couldn't always be so. I knew that there would be times when her heart was broken. I knew there would be times when she cried in sorrow and I couldn't comfort her. I knew there would be times when all she felt was fear, sadness, sorrow, and despair. As I touched her hair and smiled at her I hoped that those times would be brief and that she would have joy in her life more often than not. Living happily ever after, though, seemed out of the question.‎ It takes me a lot of years to realize that it is possible to live happily ever after. You just have to do it “one day at a time”. Happiness you see isn't some reward that you get at the end of your journey. Happiness isn't something that depends on what life you own. Happiness is something you create in your life choice by choice and day by day.‎ The truth is happiness comes when you love. Love is a gift from God. It is love that mends broken hearts. It is love that heals grief. It is love that gives us joy. Choose to “live happily ever after, one day at a time”.‎ ‎28．What is the author's wish to his daughter?‎ A．Getting a good job in the future. ‎ B．Making many friends in her school.‎ C．Traveling around the world in her life. ‎ D．Having a happy life ever after.‎ ‎29．What can we know from Paragraph 2?‎ A．Life's meaning consists in devotion.‎ B．Living happily ever after seemed out of question to the author.‎ C．There are times that life goes against us.‎ D．Everyone has the right to obtain happiness and freedom.‎ ‎30．How to get happiness in author's opinion?‎ A．Reward yourself once a day. ‎ B．Create it by yourself in your daily life.‎ C．Get rid of those disturbing things. ‎ D．Take charge of your life independently.‎ ‎31．What is the author's purpose in writing the passage?‎ A．To show the significance of love. ‎ B．To describe a daughter's growth.‎ C．To introduce the definition of love. ‎ D．To tell a young father's experience.‎ ‎ D Both honeybees and ants are social insects that live in groups called colonies. They survive by means of their collective intelligence. Their decision-making power is ‎ distributed throughout the group; that is, no one ant or bee makes decisions for the group. Instead, they work together. As Deborah M. Gordon, a biologist at Stanford University, says," Ants aren't smart. Ant colonies are."‎ The same is true for bee colonies. Although bees and ants are quite different physically, they have a lot in common in terms of their social behavior. Specifically, honeybees and ants have similar roles within the colony, both have communication systems, and both have the capacity for learning.‎ Ants communicate by using chemicals called pheromones, which can alert others to danger or to a food source. For example, when worker ants find a promising source, they let the rest of the colony know how to find it by leaving a trail of pheromones on the way back to the colony. The other ants pick up the message using their sense of smell. Bees, on the other hand, use movement to communicate with each other. Worker bees send messages to each other by means of a "dance". Different speeds and movements send different messages. For example, when worker bees called scouts go out to find a new home for the colony, they return and do a dance for the other worker bees that indicates the location of the new home and how suitable it is. The faster the scouts dance, the better the new location is.‎ Honeybees and ants are both capable of learning. One Chinese study found that bees can be trained to learn and remember a route to a food source. The researchers also found that bees can be taught to recognize hidden objects and use the concepts of "sameness" and "difference" to accomplish certain tasks. Ants take this one step further. Recent American research has shown that ants not only have the ability to learn, but also can teach their foraging skills to other younger ants.‎ They observed that older ants accompany young ants in search of food and teach them the route and how to avoid obstacles.‎ As we can see, the social behavior of honeybees and ants is quite similar. Both coordinate(协调) complex actions and accomplish survival tasks by cooperating in groups consisting of many individuals. Unintelligent as they may be as individuals, as groups they often show amazing brilliance as they go about their everyday activities.‎ ‎32．What do ants and bees have in common?‎ A．They live in similar-sized colonies.‎ B．They make use of collective intelligence.‎ C．They have small leadership groups that make all decisions.‎ D．They use the same methods to communicate with each other.‎ ‎33．What does the speed of a bee's dance indicate?‎ A．The quality of a new colony location.‎ B．The distance to a neighboring colony.‎ C．The discovery of a new food source.‎ D．The direction to a potential food source.‎ ‎34．In paragraph 4, how does the author demonstrate the idea that Honeybees and ants are both capable of learning?‎ A．By using statistics.‎ B．By explaining reasons.‎ C．By referencing opinions.‎ D．By presenting study findings.‎ ‎35．What is the benefit of collective intelligence?‎ A．It allows the colony to reproduce more rapidly.‎ B．It improves work cooperation within the colony.‎ C．It reduces the division of labor among members.‎ D．It enables individuals to teach each other new skills.‎ 第二节（共5小题；每小题1分，满分5分）‎ 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项, 选项中有两项为多余选项。（注意E涂AB, F涂AC, G涂AD）‎ Rising through stages to realize ourselves Many modern people have the problem that they don’t know who they are and what their purpose is. _____36．__ Once high school seniors graduate, they seem to lose their identity. They once studied hard. But after they stop working, they begin to lose their way.‎ In the theory of the Hierarchy of Needs（需求理论）, Abraham Maslo, put forward a similar situation, which consists of the five levels of a person’s need. The fifth and final level is self-realization, which is where our final achievement lies. ______37．_____.‎ I think self- realization has three major aspects. The first stage is acceptance, the second stage is discovery and the last stage is perseverance.‎ Acceptance is the first stage. We should be reminded that we are all born unique, so we all have our own strengths and weaknesses. Only when we understand these, can we pursue them or change them. _________38．________.‎ Once we’ve accepted ourselves, we can discover what we are interested in and what we want to be. ________39．____ but indeed we should live for ourselves. So before we start working towards a purpose, we should ask ourselves “Is this what we truly desire?” and “Is this going to change the situation we’re in?”‎ The last stage is perseverance. _______40．___. Those who can self-realize are people who focus on the things they want to change.‎ Through the three stages, we could gain recognition of ourselves. And by this point, whatever our lives were like, we would be able to stand tall, confident of ourselves.‎ A．It’s nothing to a man of perseverance B．Only by acceptance of the past can we change it C．This is especially common among college students D．Many people tend to go along with social expectations E. Being objective and yet tolerant is the key to acceptance F. It is the process of knowing ourselves and finding a purpose G.

I hope you succeed in tomorrow’s public speaking.‎ ‎(Text 8) ‎ W: I was surprised to find the other day that a lot of children have the experience of being home alone,for example, during the vacations.Some of these children enjoy being without parental control but there may be hidden dangers for them.That’s why many parents are worried when they have to leave their children alone in the house.‎ M: Yes.This used to be a problem for poor children,but the problem is growing now as more and more middle-class kids are being left at home alone too.‎ W: I wonder if all the children like being at home alone?‎ M: No,not all of them.The data shows that it’s a particularly frightening experience for eight-or-nine-year-olds.At that age they know enough to be fearful and their imaginations can cause them to have unfounded fear as well.‎ ‎(Text 9) ‎ M: Hello,Mary.Are you feeling any better?‎ W: Yes,Dr.Smith.I apologise for missing your last two classes.‎ M: Don’t worry about it.I am glad that you sent me an e-mail about your absence.Anyway,did you manage to get the notes from a classmate about the lectures you missed?‎ W: Yeah,but I’m not certain that I fully understand the lessons.‎ M: But I can’t really explain them to you now.I’ve got to teach a class in five minutes.‎ W: Oh,what if I came by your office tomorrow during your office hours?‎ M: I don’t mind meeting you during my regular office hours.That’s why I’m here.You can also go to the student centre.The teachers there can help you solve the problem,too.‎ W: Yeah,but there’s always a crowd at the centre and you can’t call in advance to reserve a time.‎ M: However,if you don’t want to wait around at the corner,then why don’t you check these websites first?They cover this material a little more in depth.‎ W: Hmm,that sounds like a good idea.‎ ‎(Text 10) ‎ W:Whether you’re in the process of job hunting or just settling into your first job,the following steps are a must if you want yourself to be a good “ready for the world of work” young person.The first thing to recognize is that appearance is important.You will be judged by your employers in the first five seconds of meeting them and 93% of the overall impression you’ll make will be based on the way you package yourself.First,clothes: in general,suits are a must.But depending on whether the company has a casual dress culture or a more formal one,dress accordingly.Men, go for dark grey.Accompany it with a colored shirt and a tie.Women should find a suit to match their character.Try a little color—perhaps a light green.Forget about borrowing a suit.Even if it’s of high quality,it probably won’t fit you and will make you uncomfortable.Then you’ll give off your bad feelings.Body language is really important, too. Always smile;it shows confidence.A good handshake scores well,so test yours on your friends before you go to an interview.‎
