Gifts are easy - theyre given after all. Choices can be hard.Jeff Bezos.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. Id 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 Id been married for a year. I told my life Mackenzie that I wanted to quit my job and go to do this crazy thing that probably wouldnt work since most start-ups dont, and I wasnt sure what to expect. Mackenzie told me I should go for it. As a young boy, Id been a garage inventor. Id 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 admired very much. I went to my boss and told him I wanted to start a pany 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 didnt 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 really was a difficult choice, but eventually, I decided I had to give it a shot. I didnt think Id regret trying and failing. And I suspected I would always be haunted by a decision not to try at all.After much consideration, I took the less safe path to follow my passion, and Im proud of that choice. For all of us, in the end, we are our choices. （344 words）24. 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.

Id 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.”可知，互联网的迅速发展让作者感到吃惊，也让作者萌生了创建一个网络书店的想法，故选C。25. A推理判断题。根据第三段段意和“I didnt think Id regret trying and failing.

And I suspected I would always be haunted by a decision to not try at all.”可知，老板想说服作者留下来，作者有些动摇，但经过思考之后，作者决定辞职建网站，作者不害怕尝试和失败，但会因为想法没有付诸实践而愧疚。故选A。(3)是非题：该题型俗称“三缺一”题型，即题目四个选项中有三个符合文章内容，剩下一个不符合。题干多为：Which of the following isTRUE?或者三个不符合文章内容，剩下一个符合，题干多为：Which of the followingisNOTtrue?或All the following are true EXCEPT(4)排序题：这种题要求考生根据动作发生的先后顺序和句子之间的逻辑关系，找出事件发生的正确顺序。可采用“首尾定位法”，即先找出第一个动作和最后一个动作，迅速缩小选择范围，从而快速选出正确答案。(5)指代理解题：一般是在人物或事物关系比较复杂的情况下使用的一种题型，所以理清人物及事物之间的逻辑关系是关键所在。可采用“逻辑关系梳理法”，使人物或事件关系清晰条理。不管题型如何，在做事实细节题时，可采用比较实用的方法一有目的的阅读。在阅读时，首先看题目要求我们理解什么细节，找出关键词，然后以此为线索，运用寻读的技巧迅速在文章里找出相应的段落、句子或短语。认真比较选项和文中细节的区别，在正确理解细节的前提下，确定最佳答案。这样一来，既提高了阅读的速度，又能确保答案的准确率。同时，建议阅读文章时把与答案相符的句子或短语用红线标示出来，标号注上是哪一题答案的相关句子，这样在检查时就不必重新阅读整篇文章了。3、抽丝剥茧，推理判断深层含义推理判断题主要提问那些未曾在文中说明，但已特别暗示的内容，考查考生对文章的准确理解和判断。人物传记类文章常见的推理判断题型为：(1)细节推断题：要求考生根据语篇关系，推断具体细节，如时间、地点、人物关系、人物身份、事件等。一般可根据短文提供的信息，或者借助生活常识进行推理判断。例如：第21题，就是一道细节题，只要根据第二段“I came across the fact that the Internet usage was growing at 2,300 percent per year. Id 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.”就可知，互联网的迅速发展让作者感到吃惊，也让作者萌生了创建一个网络书店的想法，故选C。(2)因果推断题：要求考生根据已知结果推测导致结果的可能原因。考生要准确掌握文章的内涵，理解文章的真正含义。(3)人物性格、作者态度及观点判断题：人物传记类文章中有些是考查考生对作者的主导思想、被描写人物的语气、言语中流露的情绪、性格倾向和作者或文中人物态度、观点等方面的理解题。推理判断题要求在理解原文表面文字信息的基础上做出一定推论和判断，从而得到文章的隐含意义和深层意义。解答此类题时，要注意：(1)吃透文章的字面意思，从字里行间捕捉有用的提示和线索，这是推理的前提和基础。(2)对文字的表面信息进行挖掘加工，由表及里，由浅入深。从具体到抽象，从特殊到一般，通过分析、综合、判断等进行符合逻辑的推理。不能就事论事，断章取义，以偏概全。(3)基于文章内容，以文章提供的事实和线索为依据，立足已知，推断未知。不能主观臆想，凭空想象，随意揣测，更不能以自己的观点代替作者的观点。(4)把握句、段之间的逻辑关系，了解语篇的结构。要体会文章的基调，揣摸作者的态度，摸准逻辑发展的方向，悟出作者的弦外之音。(5)注意文中所用词句的感情色彩，是讽刺性的，批评性的，赞成性的，还是反对性的，以便推测作者的观点和态度。考点：考查人物传记类短文阅读。CGerman artist HA Schult is an unusual artist who uses trash ( 废旧物) to make sculptures. “We are living in the time of garbage,” says Schult. “I created a thousand sculptures of garbage. They are a mirror of ourselve.” Here, Schult was talking about his 1,000 trash sculptures in the form of humans.He first exhibited them in 1996 in the western German state of North Rhine-Westphalia.“They are social sculptures,” he explains. “They are not only sculptures for the eyes. They are sculptures to spread the idea that we live in a time of garbage.” So far, Schults social sculptures have been on show in Paris, in Moscows Red Square, on the Great Wall of China, and in the desert next to the Giza Pyramids near Cairo.HA Schults work is unforgettable. Although his work has had a big influence on the art world, Schult remains modest about his creations, “Artists have to learn every time. We are not important. All that counts is the time in which we are living.”Trash art has been around for years. But it seems that only the popular artists are regarded as true artists when working with trash. Why cant mon people be considered artists when they use the same things and change them into some form of personal art? Maybe its because we all have our own preset ideas of what art is and isnt, or who artists are or should be.You can be an artist like Schult if you try. Look at used metal cans. What might be done with them? Imagine them in any number of new uses, or imagine them simply as an art form. What about boxes or clothing? Boxes can usually serve as new storage containers and houses for pets. And clothing? Imagine taking old clothes and turning them into hats or hanging organizers.(312 words)28. What do we know about Schults sculptures?A. They served as garbage containers. B. They reflected environmental issues.C. They w ere first shown in Paris, France. D. They w ere to raise economic awareness.29. HA Schults artistic works also get the message across that an artist must .A. be socially responsible B. be as modest as possibleC. make garbage recyclable D. take diverse artistic forms30. According to the last two paragraphs, the author probably agrees that .A. it takes talent to be a trash artist B. preset ideas are important to artistsC. trash art cant be seen as a real art form D. average people can also make trash artists31. Which of the following is the best title for the text?A. Could You Be a Trash Artist? B. What Are Social Sculptures?C. Do You Know About Trash Art? D. How Can We Deal with Used Cans?【答案】28. B 29. A 30. D 31. A【解析】文章通过举用垃圾雕塑来反映环保问题的艺术家Schult的例子，号召每个普通人注重环保意识，创造环保作品，成为环保艺术家。28. B推理判断题。根据第一段“We are living in the time of garbage,” says Schult. “I created a thousand sculptures of garbage. They are a mirror of ourselve.”可知Schult的雕塑使用的是垃圾，这反映了我们这个时代是垃圾时代，环境问题应该引起重视。故选B.29. A推理判断题。根据第三段“They are social sculptures,” he explains. “They are not only sculptures for the eyes. They are sculptures to spread the idea that we live in a time of garbage.”可知真正的艺术家要有社会责任感，通过艺术来反映社会问题，引起人们的重视。故选A.30. D推理判断题。根据最后两段中Maybe its because we all have our own preset ideas of what art is and isnt, or who artists are or should be.和You can be an artist like Schult if you try.可知普通人也可以成为艺术家，只不过他们对艺术的看法和艺术家不同。故选D.31. A主旨大意题。文章通过举用垃圾雕塑来反映环保问题的艺术家Schult的例子，号召每个普通人注重环保意识，创造环保作品，成为环保艺术家。A项Could You Be a Trash Artist?既概括了文章内容又能吸引读者，适合作为文章标题。故选A.【名师点睛】推理判断题属于主观题，是层次较高的题目。它包括判断和推理题。这两类题常常相互依存，推理是为了做出正确的判断，正确的判断又依赖于合乎逻辑的推理。此类题要求在理解表面文字的基础上，做出判断和推论，从而得到文章的隐含的意思和深层的意思，也就是通过文章中的文字信息，上下逻辑关系及事物的发展变化等已知的信息，推断出作者没有直接表达的态度和观点。本文主要考查文章的观点或结论。小题1考查我们从Schult的作品中知道什么，根据第一段“We are living in the time of garbage,” says Schult. “I created a thousand sculptures of garbage. They are a mirror of ourselve.”可知Schult的雕塑使用的是垃圾，这反映了我们这个时代是垃圾时代，环境问题应该引起重视。小题2考查Schult的作品表达的艺术家需要具备的品质，根据第三段“They are social sculptures,” he explains. “They are not only sculptures for the eyes. They are sculptures to spread the idea that we live in a time of garbage.”可知真正的艺术家要有社会责任感，通过艺术来反映社会问题，引起人们的重视。小题3考查作者在最后两段中表达的观点，根据最后两段中Maybe its because we all have our own preset ideas of what art is and isnt, or who artists are or should be.和You can be an artist like Schult if you try.可知普通人也可以成为艺术家，只不过他们对艺术的看法和艺术家不同。DPsychologists take opposing views of how external (外部的) rewards, from warm praise to cold cash, affect motivation and creativity. Behaviorists, who study the relation between actions and their consequences, argue that rewards can improve performance at work and school. Some other researchers who study various aspects of mental life, state that rewards often destroy creativity by encouraging dependence on approval and gifts from others.The latter view has gained many supporters, especially among educators. But the careful use of small monetary rewards inspires creativity in grade-school children, according to a study in the June Journal Personality and Social Psychology.“If they know theyre working for a reward and can focus on a relatively challenging task, they show the most creativity,” says Robert Esenberger of the University of Delaware in Newark. “But its easy to kill creativity by giving rewards for poor performance or creating too much expectation for rewards.”Esenberger holds the view that a teacher who continually draws attention to rewards or who hands out high grades for ordinary achievement ends up with uninspired students. As an example of the latter point, he notes growing efforts to tighten grading standards and restore falling grades at major universities.In earlier grades, the use of so-called token economics, in which students handle challenging problems and receive performance-based points towards valued rewards, shows promise in raising effort and creativity, the Delaware psychologist claims. （235 words）32. Psychologists are divided about their attitudes toward _.A. the choice between moral encouragement and monetary rewardsB. the appropriate amount of external rewardsC. the study of relationship between actions and consequencesD. the effects of external rewards on students performance 33. Which of the following can best raise students creativity according to Robert Esenberger?A. Assigning them tasks they have not dealt with before.B. Assigning them tasks which require inventiveness.C. Giving them rewards they really deserve.D. Giving them rewards they expect.34. The phrase “token economics” in Para5 probably refers to_A. ways to develop economics B. systems of rewarding studentsC. approaches to solving plex problems D. methods of improving performance35. What is the authors attitude towards the topic?A. Opposed B. Supportive C. Objective D. Doubtful【答案】32. D 33. C 34. B 35. C【解析】针对外部奖励对学生动机和创造力的影响，作者介绍了专家们不同的观点。32. D细节推理题。根据第一段Psychologists take opposing views of how external (外部的) rewards, from warm praise to cold cash, affect motivation and creativity.可知心理学家对外部奖励对学生动机和创造力的影响持有相反的观点，故选D.33. C推理判断题。根据第三段Robert Esenberger 的观点“If they know theyre working for a reward and can focus on a relatively challenging task, they show the most creativity,” “But its easy to kill creativity by giving rewards for poor performance or creating too much expectation for rewards.”可知对于表现好的学生奖励会激发他们的创造力，对表现不好的学生奖励容易扼杀创造力。所以要给学生应得的奖励，故选C.34. B猜测词义题。根据句中In earlier grades和修饰划线词语的定语从句in which students handle challenging problems and receive performance-based points towards valued rewards学生处理具有挑战性的问题并获得基于表现的分数，以获得有价值的奖励，可知token economics是用于低年级的一种奖励系统，故选B.35. C推理判断题。根据文中Psychologists take opposing views, The latter view has gained m
