21．（6分） One of the hardest parts of planning a trip to Hawaii is deciding which of the major Hawaiian Islands you should visit. Each has its own personality and offers unique adventures and activities.
Oahu
Oahu has a bit of everything, packed in 597 square miles. You can hike into thick rainforests, and when you need a break, relax on powdery white sand beaches and stay at luxury resorts.
Oahu has become a great destination for families. The urban core （核 心）of Honolulu and Waikiki has historic sites, museums and bustling （熙熙攘攘的）and nightlife scenes. The island lives up to its nickname of the Gathering Place.
Maui
Maui is a great island for honeymooners. The Valley Isle has top-class resorts and golf courses, adjacent （毗邻）to some of the state's best beaches. A large dormant （休眠）volcano in east Maui at sunrise or sunset is a serene experience, as well as driving the Road to Hana, famed for its thundering waterfalls.
Kauai
Kauai is the oldest of the main Hawaiian Islands. The island gets a lot of rain, but that's what makes it so lively, you'll come across flowers and plants you've never seen before. For some of the best views on the island, visit Waimea Canyon, known as the Grand Canyon of the Pacific, and the Na Pali coast, boasting some of the world's highest sea cliffs.
Big Island
The Big Island is the only Hawaiian island still growing. Witness the power of Pele, the Hawaiian goddess of fire, wind, lightning and volcanoes with a visit to the Hawaii Volcanoes National Park. It's one of the few spots in the world where you can see lava flow. In fact, the Big Island has 10 of the world's sub-climate zones, from the snow-covered mountain of Mauna Kea, green forests of Waipio Valley to stretches of barren desert.
1、Which is young couples' favorite?
A．Oahu. B．Maui.
C．Kauai. D．Big Island.
2、How is Oahu different from the other places?
A．It belongs to Hawaii. B．It offers the best beaches.

3、What do Maui and Big Island have in common?
A．They are both covered with snow. B．You can have a look at a volcano.
C．Weather is changeable. D．There is plenty of rain.
22．（8分） On September 10, 2018, Jack Ma, founder and chairman of Chinese e-commerce giant Alibaba, announced his successor(继任者)at the company he founded 19 years ago. 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(基因)pool.
1、What do we know about Daniel Zhang from the passage?
A．He’s a talented professor.
B．He’s an experienced manager.
C．He’s a successful founder.
D．He’s Chairman of Alibaba.
2、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.
3、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.
4、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.
23．（8分） My color television has given me nothing but a headache. I was able to buy it a little over a year ago  because I had my relatives give me  money for my birthday instead of a lot of clothes that wouldn’t fit .I let a salesclerk fool me into buying a discontinued model, I realized this a day later, when I saw newspaper advertisements for the set at seventy-five dollars less than I had paid, The set worked so beautifully when I first got it home that I would keep it on until stations signed off  for the night, Fortunately, I didn’t got any channels showing all-night movies or I would never have gotten to bed.
Then I started developing a problem with the set that involved static (静电) noise. For some reason, when certain shows switched into a commercial, a loud noise would sound for a few seconds. Gradually, this noise began to appear during a show, and to get rid of it, I had to change to another channel and then change it back. Sometimes this technique would not work, and I had to pick up the set and shake it to remove the sound. I actually began to build up my arm muscles(肌肉) shaking my set.
When neither of these methods removed the static noise ,I would sit helplessly and  wait for the noise to go away. At last I ended up hitting the set with my fist, and it stopped working altogether .My trip to the repair shop cost me $62, and the set is working well now, but I keep expecting more trouble.

24．（8分）Korea
While many Koreans prefer Western-style weddings in which the bride wears a while wedding dress, some couples are still carrying out the “Pyebaek” – a Korean wedding custom.
The Pyebaek is held after the official ceremony, and is when the bride pays respects to her parents-in-law for the first time. The new couple bow deeply before the parents, and they exchange jujube(枣) and chestnuts(栗子) — symbols for children and good fortune.
—Sujean Park, HuffPost Korea
Japan
For Japanese weddings, it’s customary for guests to bring cash as a gift for the new couples. The amount depends on the guest’s relationship to the couple — on average, friends would give $300, and family members may give up to $ 1,000.
The bills should be unfolded, freshly printed. They’re typically put in a special envelops signed by the guest. Guests leave the envelopes at a reception desk at the ceremony and receive wedding favors in return.
—Ryan Takeshita, HuffPost Japan
Brazil
In Brazilian weddings, the best man cuts the groom’s tie into several pieces and sells them to the wedding guests at whatever price they choose to pay for it. The money that’s collected usually goes toward the couple’s honeymoon.
Brazilian weddings wouldn’t be complete without pastries called “bem-casados”, or “happily married”. These are tiny sweet cakes with a condensed milk (炼乳) filling that are meant to bring good luck to the new couples.

25．（10分） Nearly one in four Americans made money over the last 12 months by using their personal computers or other devices connected to the Internet. The Pew Research Center, an independent research group in Washington, found that people are using the Internet to find extra work. They go online to sell things such as used books and furniture or they offer to provide services such as babysitting, house cleaning or computer repairs.
Pew found that income earned on the Internet can come in many forms. Some said they had jobs that paid a few pennies each to take surveys. In these surveys, people are asked for their opinions of different products or well-known people. About two percent of Americans earned money from ride-sharing companies such as Uber and Lyft. When drivers are ready to pick up passengers, they use their ride-share company’s app. The computer program lets them know when passengers are ready to be picked up and how to reach them. Some people make their homes, apartments, or rooms inside their homes, available for money to people visiting their cities.
About 60 percent of people say the income they earn is important to them. But just one in five people who sell things online say the income is enough to be important to their lives. Only 16 percent believe doing online work will lead to a meaningful career. But 37 percent say the extra income earned from online jobs helps them make up for shortages in money.
The number one reason people gave for taking online jobs was that the work gave them something to do and was fun. What kind of people work online or use online devices to find work?The answer appears to be: mostly people who already have jobs.
1、What is the main idea of paragraph 1?
A．How to sell used books.
B．How to find extra work online.
C．A new way of making money.
D．A new research on the Internet.
2、How many forms of earning money online are mentioned in paragraph 2?
A．1. B．2.
C．3. D．4.
3、How does the author make the point more persuas
