文章大意:这是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了PayPal、SpaceX、特斯拉汽车等大公司的创始人Elon Musk的个人经历,讲述了Musk通过自学获得了计算机知识,通过自身不懈努力、与抑郁症作斗争最终取得成功的故事。

1 . Elon Musk is a symbol of passion, hard work and success. A person may work hard in his life, but when hard work goes along with passion and a new idea, then something is created that astonishes the world. As the founder of big companies like PayPal, SpaceX and Tesla Motors, Elon Musk is a guide and inspiration for the youth around the world.

Elon Musk was born on June 28, 1971 in Pretoria, South Africa. He was the eldest of three children. His father Errol Musk, a British-born South African, was an engineer. Musk spent his childhood in South Africa and at the age of 9, he got his first personal computer. This got Elon interested in programming and he started to learn on his own. At the age of 12, he made his first computer game, Blaster, which earned him $500 when he sold the source code to a magazine.

When he was 17, he decided to leave home and had wanted to move to the United States after graduating from a secondary school in Pretoria. However, he was unable to move to the United States. In 1989, Elon Musk moved to Canada, where his mother's relatives lived. After obtaining Canadian citizenship, Musk went to Montreal. Due to a lack of money, he found a low-paying job. At the age of 19, he entered Queens University in Kingston, Ontario, studying there for two years. Finally, in 1992, his dream came true—he moved to the United States.

As a teenager, Musk struggled with depression. But then he realized that the most important thing was presenting himself with the right questions. The day he started doing this, everything started to get easier.

Musk thought that a human being had to expand the limits of his consciousness—to ask the right questions and get answers to them; thus he asked the best question of all: what will have the greatest impact on the future of humans? Musk found that these things were the Internet and space exploration.

The life of Elon Musk is inspiring. He found success on the Internet, without much formal learning. By reading books and using his willpower and dedication, he reached a level of knowledge that is difficult to imagine. He did not give up until he achieved his dreams. Elon Musk truly stands out among other billionaires because of his leadership abilities, positive attitude, ability to know when to take risks, and belief in futuristic technologies.

1. According to the passage, Elon Musk gained knowledge of computer by__________.
A.teaching himselfB.learning from his father
C.taking online coursesD.studying in Queens University
2. What made things easier for Elon Musk when he suffered from depression? _________
A.Expanding knowledge by reading books.B.Asking himself the right questions.
C.Achieving success on the Internet.D.Designing computer games.
3. What can we learn from the passage? _________
A.It's never too late to learn.B.Youth means limitless possibilities.
C.Where there's a will, there's a way.D.He who doesn't advance falls backward.

文章大意:本文是一篇记叙文。文章介绍了Gym shark CEO—Ben Francis创立Gymshark 并将企业发展壮大的过程。

3 . Ben Francis didn’t become wealthy through property left by his family. Instead, the CEO and cofounder of Gymshark used his earnings from pizza delivery to buy a sewing machine and start his fitness clothing company at 19. Eleven years later, his efforts literally paid off. Francis, who has a reported net worth of $1.3 billion, joined Forbes’ World’s Billionaires list. He’s in rare company: People on the list are65 years old on average.

Originally, Francis and co-founder Lewis Morgan launched Gymshark as a website selling fitness supplements (补剂). But after getting fed up with his ill-fitting clothes, Francis suggested modifying the company. He and Morgan bought a sewing machine, and his mom sent him videos to teach him how to sew.

The pair brought Gymshark to a bodybuilding exhibition in 2013, but didn’t have any money to advertise. On a whim (心血来潮), they decided to give popular fitness figures on social media platforms free products. Francis said, “It would be so cool if they could come to be with Gymshark at this event. But I didn’t really think that much about this idea.” Some of those influences went on to wear the clothes on their channels, making Gymshark’s sales jump to $45,000 per day, up from just $450.

In 2017, Francis quit the CEO role. He spent the next years supporting leadership roles within Gymshark to learn more about the ins and outs of the business, before returning as the CEO in 2021. That year, the company was valued at $1.45 billion. Still, the company’s billion-dollar valuation is a small percentage of the market value of some strong competitors. “I really think Gymshark can be the UK’s answer to those brands,” Francis said. “But it doesn’t mean that the UK is where we start and end. We also want to be a truly global brand.”

1. What makes Francis special on Forbes’ World’s Billionaires list?
A.His age.B.His wealth.
C.His personal experience.D.His business idea.
2. What does the underlined word “modifying” in paragraph 2 mean?
A.Putting a stop to.B.Keeping an eye on.
C.Making a change to.D.Giving an account of.
3. Why did Francis and Morgan contact popular fitness influences?
A.To follow in the competitors’ footsteps.B.To win support for their leadership roles.
C.To popularize their products in a cheap way.D.To gain admission to the bodybuilding exhibit.
4. Which can be the best title for the text?
A.Francis: From a Pizza Boy to a BillionaireB.Gymshark: From a Website to a Global Brand
C.Gymshark: A World Leader in Fitness ClothingD.Francis: An Inspiration to Business Competitors

文章大意:这是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了麦当劳创始人Ray Kroc创造麦当劳并取得成功的故事。

6 . How do you create a restaurant business and become an overnight success at the age of 52?As Ray Kroc said, “I was an overnight success alright, but 30 years is a long, long night.” As the builder of the McDonald’s hamburger empire, he helped change America’s eating habits, as well as its nature of business by standardizing operations in the fiercely competitive fast-food industry.

But not many know how this entrepreneurial (创业的) success story came to be. Kroc was not a chef or a restaurateur. He never even went to college. For over three decades, he held a variety of jobs, from piano player to salesman of paper cups and multiple milkshake machines. “The two most important requirements for major success are, first, being in the right place at the right time and, second, doing something about it.” So said Kroc.

And in 1954, he was in the right place at the right time, and he did something about it. The salesman was surprised by a huge order for eight multi-mixers (多用搅拌机) from a hamburger stand in California. There he found a small but successful restaurant run by brothers Dick and Mac McDonald,   and was amazed by the effectiveness of their operation. They produced a limited menu, concentrating on just a few items-burgers, fries and beverages-which allowed them to focus on quality at every step of production.

The brothers were looking for a new franchisee (特许经营者) and Kroc saw an opportunity. He pitched (推销) his vision of creating McDonald’s restaurants all over the US to them. In 1955 he founded the McDonald’s Corporation, and six years later bought the exclusive rights to the McDonald’s name and operating system. By 1958, McDonald’s had sold its 100 millionth hamburger.

Kroc wanted to build a restaurant system that would be famous for providing food of consistently high quality and uniform methods of preparation. He wanted to serve burgers, fries and beverages that tasted just the same in Alaska as they did in Alabama.

To achieve this, Kroc chose a unique path: persuading both franchisees and suppliers to buy into his vision, working not for McDonald’s, but for themselves, together with McDonald’s. He promoted the slogan, “In business for yourself, but not by yourself.” His philosophy was based on the simple principle of a three- legged stool: one leg was McDonald’s franchisees; the second, McDonald’s suppliers; and the third, McDonald’s employees.

Kroc believed in the entrepreneurial spirit, and rewarded his franchisees for their individual creativity. Many of McDonald’s most famous menu items — like the Filet-O-Fish, Big Mac, and Egg McMuffin — were created by franchisees.

1. From the passage we know        .
A.Ray Kroc was born with a talent of running businesses
B.Ray Kroc borrowed his business idea from others
C.McDonald’s Corporation was started by two brothers
D.McDonald’s Corporation succeeded for its unique philosophy
2. Thanks to the slogan “in business for yourself, but not by yourself”,        .
A.Kroc formed the three legs of McDonald’s
B.many suppliers created new ways of making burgers
C.franchisees began to stick to a limited menu
D.employees would work hard for McDonald’s and for themselves
3. Which of the following can we say about Ray Kroc according to this passage?
A.Lucky and creative.B.Devoted but simple-minded.
C.Independent and far-sightedD.Cooperative but strict.
4. What is the passage mainly about?
A.The cooperation of Kroc and two brothers.
B.The contribution of McDonald’s to the US food industry.
C.The requirements for a successful fast-food chain.
D.The story of an entrepreneurial success.

文章大意:本文是一篇新闻报道。文章报道了九岁的Zandra Cunningham从小就对美容产品感兴趣,她自学制作美容产品并在当地市场销售,后来创立了自己的美容品牌Zandra Beauty。

10 . A self-described “girly girl”, nine-year-old Zandra Cunningham was constantly begging her parents for the latest beauty products. One day her dad simply told her “no”, which inspired her to make her own.

Zandra has been recognized by Entrepreneur magazine as one of the youngest millionaires in America. When asked about her experience as a child entrepreneur (企业家), Zandra says, “It wasn’t frightening. When you’re young, you don’t have that fear mentality. ‘Maybe it’s not going to work’ never really crossed my mind.” For Zandra, it became a challenge to separate her personal interest from what her customers actually wanted. “There were a lot of things that I felt were good ideas, but they wouldn’t fit into the market,” she says. Being part of the market herself, Zandra felt she had a unique perspective that allowed her to truly listen and respond to her customers.

It started as a hobby for Zandra and her mom. They’d play around with different ingredients until they found formulas they liked “through trial and error”. Slowly, they started transforming the pastime into a brand. Zandra began selling her products at local markets, and a few years later—when Zandra was 12 years old — the family started a shop for Zandra Beauty. At the time, Zandra Beauty was one of the first brands to offer plant-based and organic beauty products at an affordable price. The 21-year-old has essentially grown up alongside her brand—but her goals have remained the same: “Our main focus is to push out amazing products that are safe for everyone and the earth.”

“There’re so many brands doing similar things, but there’s still so much room to grow,” says Zandra. “Your customers are out there, and you just have to find something that’s going to set you apart.”

1. What can be inferred from Zandra’s words in paragraph 2?
A.Her young mind made her fearless.
B.Her parents supported her greatly.
C.She had much precious experience.
D.She was always very caring.
2. Which of the following is the most important in Zandra’s opinion?
A.Sharing her personal interests.B.The diversity of hobbies.
C.Changing the global market.D.The need of customers.
3. What kind of product does Zandra mainly pursue?
A.The one that is cheap and useful.
B.The one that is enjoyed by her mom.
C.The one that is created by trial and error.
D.The one that is reliable and eco-friendly.
4. What is Zandra’s attitude towards the future of her brand?
A.Hopeful.B.Concerned.C.Doubtful.D.Relieved.
