Why not try it？” my Chinese teacher asked me one day.With that, my wonderful new relationship with Alibaba began.Alibabas original businesstobusiness model now is second to consumer buying.Chinese retail(零售) buying makes up 80% of Alibabas profit, and leading that group is Taobao, with 800 million items for sale and the most unbelievable selection of things youll ever find.TMall.com is Alibabas 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 US.is how China has gone beyond traditional shoppingbigbox 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 travelled，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 wide the marketplace is.Almost everything arrived a day or two after ordering with free shipping.Im not even a big buyer, because I need friends to help me search the Chineselanguage site.When I was searching my purchase history on my Chinese teachers iPad, which helps me buy goods, I looked through with great difficulty about 10 of her purchases for every one of mine.【语篇解读】阿里巴巴原创的业务电子商务模型引发了中国人最大的购物方式的变化。阿里巴巴只是买方和卖方的中间商。网上购物每时每刻都在发生。4Alibabas advantage mainly lies in_.Aits low priceBits big sizeCits not charging small sellersDits businesstobusiness service【解析】细节理解题。根据第一段的“Alibabas advantage wasnt hard to judge: size.Alibaba is just big, even by Chinese standards.”可知，阿里巴巴最大的优势在于它的大规模。故选B。【答案】B5.

On April 2, World Autism (自闭症) Day, Ju partnered with Xia Junqi, a 17yearold autistic teenager, to host a charity gala at the Beijing National Aquatics Center, otherwise known as the Water Cube. The event was organized by One Foundation, which aims to increase public awareness of autistic people and their needs. Autism is a neural disorder that can impair sufferers communication skills and social interactions.Sufferers have restricted, repetitive patterns of behavior.It affects about 1.6 million people in China, with medical studies suggesting autism may affect one in every 166 children. Autism has no cure.For many years it went largely undiagnosed in China but early intervention (干预，治疗) and continuous education may help to teach the autistic selfhelp skills and lessen their problematic behavior. The gala(晚会) featured autistic children singing, dancing and performing, and was greeted with enthusiastic applause from the audience. Cai Chunzhu, a celebrity playwright, recalled feeling heartbroken when his son was diagnosed with autism at the age of 2.He says his family struggled to accept the reality but finally made peace with the diagnoses in the past four years.He says the boy lives in his own world and is trained in an intervention facility.Sun Zhongkai, executive director of the Beijing Stars and Rain Institute for Autism, one of the earliest intervention facilities for autistic children in China, shared with audience his deep sorrow for parents who often broke down with desperation when he told them there was no cure for their autistic children. Over the years, Chinese society has become more supportive of autistic people and their families, but there are still challenges in terms of getting autistic people employed and looking after them when their parents pass away. Actor Zhou Xun also called on society to show greater understanding and support toward autistic children and their families.【语篇解读】本文通过知名主持人鞠萍主持一个慈善活动来介绍什么是自闭症，如何进行治疗以及大家要关爱这些孩子们。8.

be empty when a person has nothing to say.A silence in a conversation may also show stubbornness, uneasiness，or worry.Silence may be viewed by some cultural groups as extremely uncomfortable；therefore attempts may be made to fill every gap(间隙) with conversation.Persons in other cultural groups value silence and view it as necessary for understanding a persons needs.Many Native Americans value silence and feel it is a basic part of communicating among people, just as some traditional Chinese and Thai persons do.Therefore, when a person from one of these cultures is speaking and suddenly stops, what may be implied(暗示) is that the person wants the listener to consider what has been said before continuing.In these cultures, silence is a call for reflection.Other cultures may use silence in other ways, particularly when dealing with conflicts among people or in relationships of people with different amounts of power.For example, Russian, French, and Spanish persons may use silence to show agreement between parties about the topic under discussion.However, Mexicans may use silence when instructions are given by a person in authority rather than be rude to that person by arguing with him or her.In still another use, persons in Asian cultures may view silence as a sign of respect，particularly to an elder or a person in authority.Nurses and other caregivers need to be aware of the possible meanings of silence when they come across the personal anxiety their patients may be experiencing.Nurses should recognize their own personal and cultural construction of silence so that a patients silence is not interrupted too early or allowed to go on unnecessarily.A nurse who understands the healing(治愈) value of silence can use this understanding to assist in the care of patients from their own and from other cultures.【语篇解读】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍了沉默在不同文化里的具体含义。沉默有时表示思考，有时表示无话可说不同的文化，人们对沉默有不同的理解。沉默也可以用在医院中，它还有治疗功效呢。12What does the author say about silence in conversations?AIt implies anger.BIt promotes friendship.CIt is culturespecific.DIt is contentbased.【解析】推理判断题。根据第一段的第一句The meaning of silence varies among cultural groups.以及下文给出的不同文化里沉默代表不同含义的例子可知，选项C与之相符合，沉默有特定的文化内涵。选项A、B、D在文中都没有提到。【答案】C13Which of the following people might regard silence as a call for careful thought?AThe Chinese.BThe French.CThe Mexicans.DThe Russians.【解析】细节理解题。根据第二段中的Many Native Americans value silence and feel it is a basic part of communicating.just as some traditional Chinese and Thai persons do.以及.silence is a call for reflection.可知，许多美国本土人、一些传统的中国人以及泰国人都把沉默看作是仔细思考的象征，故选A项，a call for reflection与a call for careful thought是同义表达，大家做题时要学会锁定关键词。根据第三段中的.Russian，French，and Spanish persons may use silence to show agreement.可知，法国人和俄罗斯人用沉默表示同意，故B、D两项错误；由第三段中的.Mexicans may use silence when instructions are given by a person in authority.可知，墨西哥人在权威人士给出指示，但心里不赞同时，他们会选择保持沉默，故排除C项。【答案】A14What does the author advise nurses to do about silence?ALet it continue as the patient pleases.BBreak it while treating patients.CEvaluate its harm to patients.DMake use of its healing effects.【解析】细节理解题。根据文中最后一段中的A nurse who understands the healing value of silence can use this understanding to assist in the care of patients from their own and from other cultures.可知，作者建议护士们利用沉默的治愈效果来关爱病人，D项与此吻合，use与选项中的make use of是同义表达。根据最后一段中的.a patients silence is not interrupted too early or allowed to go on unnecessarily.可知，不要过早打破沉默，也不要让沉默没有必要地一直持续下去，A项“只要病人喜欢，让沉默一直持续下去”和B项“治疗病人时，打破沉默”的表述与此不符，故排除。文中没有提到沉默对病人有害处，故排除C项。【答案】D15What may be the best title for the text?ASound and SilenceBWhat It Means to Be SilentCSilence to Native AmericansDSpeech Is Silver；Silence Is Gold【解析】标题归纳题。整篇文章都在说，沉默在不同的文化和领域具有不同的含义，这与B项(沉默的含义)的表述相符。A项中的sound没有提到；C项只是文章一个方面的内容；D项“雄辩是银，沉默是金”强调了沉默的价值，与文章内容不符，故错误。【答案】B.阅读填句(共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分)For a lot of parents, sending their kids off to
