This year the singer Taylor Swift performed in its livestreamed evening gala (慶典) in Shanghai on Sunday. In previous years the model Miranda Kerr and the actors Nicole Kidman and Daniel Craig also showed on the Singles Day stage. Alibaba started taking the lead in China, simply enough, by connecting big Chinese manufacturers with big buyers across the world. Its businesstobusiness site, allowed people to buy almost everything. Alibaba39。s advantage wasn39。t hard to see: size. Alibaba is just big, even by Chinese standards. Alibaba now calls itself a data and technology pany, one that provides digital tools to help the businesses on its platforms. That, in turn, leads consumers to look to those platforms for their every need, from shopping and services to entertainment and travel. Today, Alibaba is itself a gigantic pany, and it wants to grow bigger still.（1）Where is this passage probably from? textbook. newspaper. science news report. advertisement.（2）How many famous people showed on the Singles Day stage? ....（3）What does Alibaba39。s advantage mainly lie in? platform. service. price. size.（4）Which word can replace the underlined word gigantic in the last paragraph ? ....【答案】 （1）B（2）C（3）D（4）A 【解析】【分析】本文是一篇說(shuō)明文，介紹了引領(lǐng)了中國(guó)雙十一購(gòu)物節(jié)的阿里巴巴公司。每年購(gòu)物節(jié)前夕都會(huì)找明星預(yù)熱。同時(shí)介紹了阿里巴巴的相關(guān)信息。 （1）考查推理判斷。本文介紹了中國(guó)雙十一購(gòu)物節(jié)相關(guān)數(shù)據(jù)和阿里巴巴公司的情況，可以從報(bào)紙了解到相關(guān)信息。故選B。 （2）考查細(xì)節(jié)理解。根據(jù)第三段中的Taylor Swift ，Miranda Kerr，Nicole Kidman，Daniel Craig等人都參加了雙十一晚會(huì)慶典，共4人，故選C。 （3）考查細(xì)節(jié)理解。根據(jù)第四段中的“Alibaba39。s advantage wasn39。t hard to see: size.

However, they knew if I wanted a good education, I39。d have to live away from home. I39。d always dream of living alone the life of no rules and regulations and being independent. So I was delighted about this new stage in my life. Unexpectedly, during the first few months of living alone, I would find myself crying every day. I would call my mum every day. Coming from a big family, I was used to noises surrounding me. Therefore, the scary silence at night was the worst. I couldn39。t even sleep without keeping the lights on. As time went by, I started enjoying the freedom that came with living alone. I could do things in my own time: eat whenever I want, wake up whenever I want. The space of loneliness was also then filled up by friends who became like family, so I started missing my family less.
