11、题2.5分，满分25分）阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。AOn 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 fa

12、mily run, Mr. Ma did not name a family member. Rather, one of the worlds 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

13、 business, or the belief that qualities of leadership flow through bloodlines. Ma is a true innovator(创新者) in many ways. But the influence of his decision 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.Th

14、e companys 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 read

15、ily rely on Alibabas online payment system, its ratings of products and services, and other trust-building systems or methods pioneered by the company.Chinas rapid growth now produces a new billionaire almost every day. Many of them, like Ma, have favored systems of management based on talent and ho

16、nesty. As many countries have discovered as they progress, it is better to swim in a talent pool, not a gene pool21. Whats the influence of Mas decision of succession?ATo make himself a successful innovative successor.BTo question the traditional succession plan.CTo provide creative answers to succe

17、ssion problems.DTo represent a trend towards non-family-run companies.22. What seems to be the secret of the company future success?ATrust-building methods.BThe “architecture of trust”.CA culture of talent development.DThe latest successful innovations.23. What can be a suitable title for the text?A

18、Favor Talents over Genes.BTrain a Potential Successor.C. Prefer Blood to Qualities.DProvide New Management.BThe common cold is the worlds most widespread illness, which is probably why there are more myths(神话) about it than any of the other illnesses. The most widespread mistake of all is that colds

19、 are caused by cold. They are not. They are caused by viruses passing on from person to person. You catch a cold by coming into contact, directly or indirectly, with someone who already has one. If cold causes colds, it would be reasonable to expect the Eskimos to suffer from them forever. But they

20、do not. And in isolated Arctic regions explorers have reported being free from colds until coming into contact again with infected(感染的) people from the outside world by way of packages and mails dropped from airplanes. At the Common Cold Research Unit in England, volunteers took part in Experiments

21、in which they gave themselves to the discomforts of being cold and wet for long stretches of time. After taking hot baths, they put on bathing suits, allowed themselves to be doused(浸入) with cold water, and then stood about dripping（滴干 ）wet in drafty（通风的） rooms. Some wore wet socks all day while oth

22、ers exercised in the rain until close to exhaustionNot one of the volunteers came down with a cold unless a cold virus was actually dropped in his nose. If cold and wet have nothing to do with catching colds, why are they more frequent in the winter? In spite of the most painstaking research, no one

23、 has yet found the answer. One explanation offered by scientists is that people tend to stay together indoors more in cold weather than at other times, and this makes it easier for cold viruses to be passed on. No one has yet found a cure for the cold. There are drugs and pain suppressors such as as

24、pirin, but all they do is to relieve the symptoms. 24The fact that the Eskimos dont suffer colds shows that . Acolds are really full of myths Bviruses are the factors causing colds Ccolds are more severe than other illnesses Dthe idea that cold leads to colds doesnt stand up25The experiments mention

25、ed in Paragraph 3 made it clear that . Abeing doused with cold water did harm to ones body Btaking hot baths made the volunteers easy to be tired Cit was viruses not wet and cold that made people have colds Dpeople who would like to exercise in the rain got colds more easily26According to the passag

26、e, colds are commonly seen in winter because . Athere is great difference between indoor and outdoor temperature Bviruses can go into peoples warm bodies more easily in winter Cstaying together indoors makes it easier for viruses to pass on Dpeople are usually weak because of the extreme cold in win

27、terCMany kids help out around the house with chores(家庭杂务) such as emptying the dishwasher, putting laundry(洗好的衣物) away, and taking out the trash. In exchange, some kids get allowances(补贴) or other rewards such as extra computer time.But some people do not think that kids should get rewards for doing

28、 choresSusie Walton, a parenting educator and family coach, believes that by rewarding kids, parents are sending a message that work isnt worth doing unless you get something in return. “Running any kind of household is a team effort,” Susie said, “A home is a living space for everyone in the family

29、. Its important for kids to see that we all have responsibilities in the house, and that families decide together how they want their home to look, and how they are going to keep it looking like everyone wants it to look.”Other people believe that getting a cash allowance or other rewards motivates(

30、激励) kids to do chores, and it also teaches them real world lessons about how we need to work to earn money. There are also new applications that give kids points and digital gifts that can be redeemed(兑取) either online or in the real world. With the ChoreMonster app, kids earn digital points by comp

31、leting chores that they can turn in for real-life rewards such as extra Xbox time or a trip to the mall. “Our goal is to encourage kids to earn rewards,” says Chris Bergman, founder of ChoreMonster, “Kids need positive reinforcement (强化) to help motivate them.”What do you think? Should kids be rewar
