Feeling a bit burned out from work, Mycoskie decided to give it a break for a while and headed down to Argentina for some rest

28、. But rest isnt really part of a businessmans make-up. Its in their nature to keep having good business ideas. On a visit to a village outside Buenos Aires, he was shocked to see that many children didnt have any shoes or, if they did, the shoes were badly worn. Since shoesparticularly the local far

29、mers canvas(帆布的)shoescan be bought cheaply in Argentina, Mycoskies first instinct(本能) was to set up a charity to donate shoes to the children. But after giving it some thought, he realized that this was not a model that would work. One pair of shoes per child would not make that much difference, bec

30、ause they wear out(磨损). And if he asked people to donate repeatedly to provide new shoes for the same child every six monthsthe donors sympathy(同情)for the cause might also wear out pretty quickly. Instead he came up with the idea of “TOMS: one-for-one shoes”. He would take the canvas shoe to America

31、, manufacture it and sell it as a high end fashion item at around $ 50 a pair. For each pair he sold he would donate one pair to shoeless village children. That way he could guarantee a continual supply. Several years on, the business is very successful, supplying shoes not only to children in Argen

32、tina but also other parts of the world. But can the one-for-one model be repeated with other products? Mycoskie is doubtful. TOMS is a for-profit business, but does not yet make a profit. He says one-for-one is not an offer that you can just add to your existing business model; you have to build it

33、from the beginning. Some would also argue that the charity aspect is just a marketing tool, but in the end does that matter? TOMS is making a real difference to poor children all over the world and Mycoskie is enjoying being a businessman more than ever. 【文章大意】文章主要介绍了Blake Mycoskie一生经商无数, 最后卖掉了自己的5个

He had no real experience of running a charity. C. A charity would make no difference to the children. D. A charity co

36、uld not donate shoes to the children continually. 【解析】选D。推理判断题。根据文章第二段最后一句可知, 如果他要求人们不断地为同一个孩子每六个月捐赠一双鞋, 捐赠者尽管很同情孩子们的处境, 但是也是会疲倦厌烦的。故推测他没有成立慈善机构的原因就是慈善机构不可能持续地为孩子们捐赠鞋子。故选D。23. Why did Blake Mycoskie set up TOMS? A. To help poor children. B. To support a charity. C. To win national fame. D. To expand

It has made a profit. B. It only supplies shoes to children in Argentina. C. It gives Mycoskie a sense of achievement.

38、 D. It can be a model for other kinds of products. 【解析】选C。推理判断题。根据最后一段 的TOMS is making a real difference to poor children all over the world and Mycoskie is enjoying being a businessman more than ever. 可知TOMS公司在世界范围内对于贫穷孩子都是起到了一种积极的作用, Mycoskie获得了非同寻常的成就感, 故推测该公司给Mycoskie一种巨大的成就感。故选C。B(2021南昌高二检测)“C

39、an I have a glass of hot water? ” This is a very common question for Chinese customers in a restaurant. For many Chinese people, nothing is more common than drinking hot water every day. However, the simple habit is like a mystery to some from other countries. For many Westerners, the idea of drinki

40、ng hot water is very strange. However, most Chinese people think the Americans habit of drinking ice water is equally odd and even unhealthy. Some seniors would even carry a tea kettle when they travel, since their Chinese stomachs refuse to take the cold water from the tap. Drinking hot water is co

41、nsidered to be healthier among Chinese people. Traditional Chinese medicine explains drinking cold water leads to an imbalance in temperature. Chinese doctors are encouraging more people outside China to take on the habit of drinking hot water, especially for women. But in Western countries, drinkin

42、g hot water isnt common. Westerners often take drinks with ice, not just on hot days but almost every day.

53、tfitting us, but the corporations of all sorts who are making it all too easy (and affordable)to purchase clothing as a commodity.

Are you saying that the pers

78、on has fast recall or that he or she 41 information quickly? Or maybe you just mean that the person remembers a lot about her or his childhood. The truth is that it is 42 to say exactly what memory is. Even scientists who have been studying memory for decades say they are still trying to 43 exactly

79、what it is. We do know that a particular memory is not just one thing stored somewhere in the brain. 44 , a memory is made up of bits and pieces of information stored all over the brain. Perhaps the best way to 45 memory is to say that it is a processa process of recording, storing, and getting back

80、 information. Practice and repetition can help to 46the pieces that make up our memory of that information. Memory can be 47 affected by a number of things. 48nutrition can affect a persons ability to store information. Excessive alcohol use can also weaken memory and cause permanent 49 to the brain

81、 over the long term. A vision or hearing problem may affect a persons ability to notice certain things, thus making it 50 to register information in the brain. When people talk about memory, they often 51 short-term memory and long-term memory. If you want to call a store or an office that you dont

82、call often, you look in the telephone book for the number. You dial the number, and then you forget it! You use your short-term memory to remember the number. Your short-term memory lasts about 30 seconds, or half a minute. 52, you dont need to look in the telephone book for your best friends number

83、, because you already know it. This number is in your long-term memory, which 53 information about things you have learned and experienced through the years. Why do you forget things sometimes? The major reason for forgetting something is that you did not learn it well enough 54 . For example, if yo
