C.managers D.professors【答案】1.C2.B3.A4.D5.D6.B7.D8.C9.A10.A【解析】本文通过三个人的例子来论述“疯狂的想法有时候有助于伟大的发明”。1.句意：他停下会议并询问大家如果索尼出售带有录音机的耳机会发生什么。continued继续；began开始；stopped停止；finished完成。根据“He...themeetingandaskedeveryonewhatwouldhappenifSonysoldheadphoneswithatapeplayer.”可知，在询问所有人问题之前，应是先停下会议进程。故选C。2.句意：尽管如此，伊布卡还是一直在思考他的想法，并努力改进它。introducing介绍；improving改进；recommending推荐；explaining解释。根据“Theresult,ofcourse,wasthesuccessfulSonyWalkman.”可知，结果是成功的，伊布卡成功做出了索尼随身听，可推测空处是在不断改进。故选B。3.句意：好的想法往往从一个非常愚蠢的问题开始。silly愚蠢的；creative有创造性的；simple简单的；difficult困难的。根据“Still,whenhetookthisideatoseveralfamousshoecompanies,hewassimplylaughedat.”可知，当鲍尔曼把他的想法传递给几个著名的鞋子公司时，他被嘲笑了，可推测是想法听起来愚蠢才会被嘲笑。故选A。4.句意：后来，他试了一下，结果看起来有点像今天的运动鞋的底部。anything任何东西；everything所有东西；nothing没有东西；something某个东西。根据“likethebottomoftoday’ssportsshoes”可知，此处表达的是像今天的运动鞋的底部的某样东西，强调个体，且用于肯定句，用something。故选D。5.句意：尽管他被拒绝了，但是鲍尔曼没有放弃，并继续创办了自己的公司，生产耐克运动鞋。When当……时候；Because因为；Until直到……为止；Though尽管。根据“hewasrefused,Bowermandidn’tgiveupandwentontostarthisowncompany,makingNIKEathleticshoes.”可知，空处前后是转折关系，虽然被拒绝，但是没放弃，用Though引导让步状语从句。故选D。6.句意：当弗雷德·史密斯还是耶鲁大学的学生的时候，他有一些文件需要第二天提交全国各地。teacher老师；student学生；librarian图书管理员；worker工人。根据“atYaleUniversity”以及“HisprofessorgavehimonlyaCforhisefforts.”可知，弗雷德·史密斯身处耶鲁大学，且有教授，需要做作业，可推测是一名学生。故选B。7.句意：他坐了很久，想知道为什么。when什么时候；where在哪里；what什么；why为什么。根据“Smithwasamazedtofindoutthatovernightdeliverywasimpossible.”可知，史密斯很惊奇地发现隔夜递送是不可能的，他想知道这为什么不可能。故选D。8.句意：然而，史密斯继续工作，最终把他的想法变成了世界上最早也是最成功的隔夜邮政服务之一——联邦快递。Moreover而且；Instead取而代之的是；However然而；Otherwise否则。根据“HisprofessorgavehimonlyaCforhisefforts.”以及“Smithkeptonworkingandfinallyturnedhisideasintooneofthefirstandmostsuccessfulovernightmailservicesintheworld—FedEx.”可知，虽然教授给了史密斯C的评价，但是他仍然在努力实现自己的想法，前后是转折关系，用However。故选C。9.句意：当然，我们今天知道，这些想法中的每一个都导致了令人难以置信的成功产品或服务。ledto导致；startedfrom从……开始；camewith随……而来；carriedout执行。根据“eachoftheseideas...anunbelievablesuccessfulproductorservice”可知，想法和成功的产品服务之间是因果关系，是想法导致了产品服务的生成。故选A。10.句意：孩子们不怕问这样的问题，但成年人通常会害怕。adults成人；parents父母；managers经理；professors教授。根据“Childrenaren’tafraidtoasksuchquestions,but...usuallyare.”可知，此处是前后对比，孩子不害怕，但是成人会害怕，将孩子与成人进行对比。故选A。八、阅读理解Theysaythat“travelisthebestteacher”andthereisnobetterexampleofthisideathantheMingdynastytravelwriterandgeographerXuXiake(1587—1641).HisbookTheTravelNotesofXuXiake,notonlyencour-agedaloveoftravellingamongChinesepeoplebutprovidedimportantscientificinformationaboutthecountry'slandandgeography.BornintoawealthyJiangyinfamily,Xubecameinterestedinbooksaboutdifferentplacesatanearlyageandwantedtotravel.Whenhewas18,however,Xu'sfatherdiedandso,itseemed,didhistravellingdreams.Henowwasresponsibleforthefamilyfarmandtakingcareofhis60-year-oldmotherastraditionrequired.Buthismotherhaddifferentideas.Understandingherson'sloveoftravelandvaluingtheknowledgehecouldgetfromsuchexperiences,thismodern-thinkingwomanrefusedtokeephersonathome.SheagreedthatXucouldtravelforthreemonthseveryyear,whentherewaslessfarmwork.Soattheageoftwentyandwithhismother'ssupport,Xusetoffforthefirsttime,leavingbehindnotonlyhismotherbuthisnewwifeaswell.Hewouldrepeatthisgoodbyeeachyearformostofthenext30years.Duringthistime,hetravelledthroughouttheMingkingdom,carefullystudyingthelandshepassedthroughandrecordinghisexperiencesandmanydiscoveriesinadiary.Thisdiary,whichoncehadover500,000words,wouldeventuallybecomeTheTravelNotesofXuXiake.Althoughrich,Xuavoidedcomfortabletravel,preferringtogoalmosteverywhereonfoot.Thiswayhecouldresearchtheenvironmentindetailandgetatruepictureofthenaturalworld.Manyofhistripsweretohard-to-reachmountainareas,andthroughwildforestswherefewpeoplelived
