Ⅰ.阅读理解

[2020·安徽六校第二次联考]The American dream is the faith held by
many people in the United States of America that through hard work,
courage, creativity and determination, they can achieve a better life for
themselves. More specifically, they agree on how to get ahead in America:
get a college education, find a reliable job, and buy their own house. But do
Americans still believe in that path, and if they do, is it attainable?
The most recent National Journal poll asked participants about the
American dream, what it took to achieve their goal, and whether or not they
felt the control over their ability to be successful. Obviously, the results
show that today, the idea of the American dream and what it takes to
achieve it looks quite different from it did in the late 20th century.
Generally speaking, people feel that their actions and hard work — not
outside force — decide their lives. But the participants have definitely
mixed feelings about what actions make for a better life in the current
economy.
In the last seven years, Americans have grown more pessimistic (悲观
的) about the power of education to lead to success. Even though they see
going to college as a fairly achievable goal, a majority — 52 percent —
think that young people do not need a 4year college education in order to
be successful.
Miguel Maeda, 42, who has a master's degree and works in public
health, was the first in his family to go to college, which has allowed him to
achieve a sense of financial stability( 稳 定 ) his parents and grandparents
never did. While some, like Maeda, emphasized the value of degree rather
than the education itself, others still see college as a way to gain new
viewpoints and life experiences. To Fendley, a sense of drive and purpose,
as well as an effective highschool education, and basic life skills, like
balancing a checkbook( 支票簿), are the necessary elements for a
successful life in America.

2．What is the finding of the latest National Journal poll concerning
the American dream?

[2019·武汉市高三五月训练题]On September 10, 2018, Jack Ma,
founder and chairman of Chinese ecommerce giant Alibaba, announced his
successor(继任者) at the company. 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 ecommerce companies
will be led by Daniel Zhang, an 11year 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 famous 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 daytoday 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 trustbuilding 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 pool.
5．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.
6．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 nonfamilyrun companies.
7．What seems to be the recipe for the company's future success?
A．Trustbuilding methods.
B．The “architecture of trust”．
C．A culture of talent development.
D．The latest successful innovations.
8．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

[2020·长沙四校一模]
A New Trend of Micro Museums Is Making Science Portable
Science museums are amazing, You can see large dinosaur bones from
the huge creatures that disappeared thousands of years ago or take a look at
cells under a microscope. __1__.
You can learn so much at a science museum if living close enough to
one. However, for those who don't live in a city, getting a chance to visit
science museums is not easy. “__2__， their influence is limited. There
just aren't enough science museums，” said Charles Philipp. “And due
to the high costs, it's unlikely that we'll be seeing a bunch of new traditional
science museums popping up all over the country anytime soon.”
