Born in Sweden in 1926, Kamprad was a natural businessman. As a child, he enjoyed selling things and made small profits from selling matches, seeds, and pencils in his community. When Kamprad was 17, his father gave him some money as a reward for his good grades. Naturally he used it to start up a businessIKEA. IKEAs name comes from Kamprads initials (I.K.) and the place where he grew up (E and A). Today IKEA is known for its modern, minimalist furniture, but it was not a furniture company in the beginning. Rather, IKEA sold all kinds of miscellaneous goods. Kamprads goods included anything that he could sell for profits at discounted prices, including watches, pens and stockings. IKEA first began to sell furniture through a mail-order catalogue in 1947. The furniture was all designed and made by manufacturers near Kamprads home. Initial sales were very encouraging, so Kamprad expanded the product lineFurniture was such a successful aspect of the business that IKEA became solely a furniture company in 1951. In 1953 IKEA opened its first showroom in Almhult, Sweden. IKEA is known today for its large stores with furniture in attractive settings, but in the early1950s, people ordered from catalogues. Thus response to the first showroom was overwhelming: people loved being able to see and try the furniture before buying it. This led to increased sales and the company continued to develop. By 1955, IKEA was designing all its own furniture. In 1956 Kamprad saw a man disassembling(拆卸) a table to make it easier to transport. Kamprad was inspired. The man had given him a great idea: flat packaging. Flat packaging would mean lower shipping costs for IKEA and lower prices for customers. IKEA tried it and sales went up. The problem was that people had to assemble furniture themselves, but over time, even this grew into an advantage for IKEA. Nowadays, IKEA is often seen as having connotations(内涵) of self-sufficiency. This image has done wonders for the company, leading to better sales and continued expansion Today there are over 200 stores in 32 countries. Amazingly, Ingvar Kamprad has managed to keep IKEA a privately-held company. In 2004 he was named the worlds richest man. He currently lives in Switzerland and is retired from the day-to-day operations of IKEA. IKEA itself, though, just keeps on growing. 24.What does the underlined word “enterpriser” mean?A.商人B.销售商C.企业家D.总裁25. The author states in Paragraph 6 that flat packaging_. A. needs large space to assembly furniture B. is a business concept inspired by Kamprad C. helps reduce transportation costs D. makes the company self-sufficient26. What is the main idea of the passage? A. Ingvar Kamprad is the richest man in the world. B. IKEA is the worlds largest furniture retailer. C. The advantage of IKEAs furniture is dissembling. D. Ingvar Kamprad established IKEA and led it to great success.27. What is the authors attitude towards IKEAs future according to the last paragraph? A. IndifferentB. OptimisticC. DoubtfulD. Pessimist CIt seems that the great desire among the young is to be popular. The desire to be popular can force you into looking and acting like everyone else. You can lose yourself in a sea of identical hairstyles and thinking styles.I was forced to think about popularity not too long ago in a talk I had with my daughter. Mary had to change schools when my busy work schedule made it necessary for me to move houses. I suppose that, for a girl in her teens, entering a new school is like spending a season alone in the tropical jungles. At least thats how Mary found it at first. However, as the school year drew to a close, one student after another came to her. I told Mary that I would have been more concerned if she had been an instant social success in her new school. Nobody can please everyone. If you try to do so, you will find values as lasting as soap bubbles blown into the air.Some teenagers claim they want to dress as they please. But they all wear the same clothes. They set off in new directions in music. But somehow they all end up listening to the same record. Their reason for thinking or acting in a certain way is that the crowd is doing it. They have come out of their cocoon(茧，束缚) into a larger cocoon.I know that it has become harder for a young person to stand up against the popularity wave. Our way of life makes a young nonconformist stand out like a Martian. These days theres a great barrier for the young person who wants to find his or her own path. But the barrier is worth climbing over. You may want to listen to classical music instead of going to a party. Well, go to it. Be yourself. Popularity will come with the people who respect you for who you are. Thats the only kind of popularity that really counts.28Why was the author worried about his daughters popularity in her new school?A. She might find no true friends. B. She would ignore her academic performance.C. She had no idea of her own. D. She might betray her true self.29What does the author think of most teenagers?A. Theyre afraid of getting lost in life.B. They have difficulty understanding each other.C. They lack the courage to be truly different.D. They find it hard to gain popularity as expected.30What is the probable meaning of the underlined word nonconformist in Paragraph 4?A. Someone who cares about others opinion.B. Someone who desires popularity greatly.C. Someone who behaves in his own way.D. Someone who wants to please others.31What is the authors purpose of writing this passage?A. To persuade readers to pursue valuable popularity.B. To tell parents how to guide their children.C. To criticize the present values and beliefs.D. To suggest a good way to be popular. DThe topic has sparked a debate about relationships and divorce. It seems Wangs situation has struck a chord with many - which could explain the number of views, which are high even by Chinese standards.The divorce quickly became a top trending topic in China. According to micro blog Sina Weibo, posts with the hashtag “Wang BaoQiang Divorce” have been viewed over five billion times. Chinese netizens seem to have helped around Wang, with topics like “Wang Dont Cry” “Wang We Support You”, quickly trending after news of the divorce spread. Statistics by Weibo showed that 47% of netizens posts condemned Ma for her affair, saying it had destroyed her family.But why are they so interested? What made all of China so angry?Some people feel that this divorce seems to fit a certain trope - of a beautiful but ordinary girl marrying a rich but less good-looking man. It is not uncommon to hear the belief that a couple has to match at every level - be fit in status, or physical appearance - for a relationship to work out. Wang and Mas split has many people wondering if uneven matches are unlikely to succeed.A lot of social media discussion has also centered around divorce, and in particular how people can protect themselves. Wang has alleged that his wife transferred and hid some of the couples assets. Theyre a wealthy couple - their assets, according to Chinese media, include nine flats, a BMW car and various luxury goods. As a result, people are debating the importance of protecting individual assets(资产), even after marriage.32What is the possible reason why Wang Baoqiang wanted a divorce?A. He abandoned his wife and family deliberatelyB. He wanted to make his divorce a top trending topic on the internet.C. He found his wife had an affair with his agent and that she had also transferred the couples joint assets.D. He wanted to protect himself and individual assets.33Which of the following is true according to the passage?A .It is Ma Rong who should take responsibility for the divorce.B.A couple has to match at every level for a relationship to work out.C. If they get divorced, Wang Baoqiang will have an equal share of their joint assets.D. The announcement of the divorce has made netizens debate the uneven matches and the protection of individual assets in marriage.34What does the second sentence in paragraph 2 mean?A.A large number of people are sympathetic to the recent situation of Wang Baoqiang.B. Many people are in favor of Wang Baoqiangs announcement of the divorce.C. Most netizens condemned Ma for her affair with Song Zhe, criticizing her for breaking the marriage.D. people are indifferent to Wang Baoqiangs announcement of the divorce.35What is the text mainly about?A. Wang Baoqiang announced online he was divorcing his wife, Ma RongB. Uneven matches are unlikely to succeed.C. It is important to protect individual assets, even after marriage.D. Why a celebrity divorce has aroused netizens interest.第二节 （共5小题；每小题2分, 满分10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。Life Lessons to know for youthAs youth, we need the tools helping us to survive in the world.

It said，“Mike，I know life is 52 right now, I know you are frustrated and I know we dont do everything right. I also know that I love you 53 and nothing you do or say will ever change that. I am here for you if you ever need to talk. If you dont, thats also 54 . Just know that no matter where you go or whatever you do in your life, I will always love you and be 55 that you are my son.
