With an estimated (估计)worth of more than $ 40 billion, according to Forbes, the project will be no small feat (功绩) for Gates. Having already provided the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation with $ 24 billion to address global health issues, Gates said that eventually his entire fortune will be put towards the cause except a few percent left for the kids. So what has made the richest man in the world to channel his resources so heavily into one interest? Gates believes that the equality of opportunity in which Americans take such pride needs to extend to other nations around the world. Improving the health of the populations, he says, has proven to be an essential method in helping poor countries to be financially successful. National borders allow inequalities, said Gates: We all need to take a more global view, rather than just saying my country is doing well. We have to step up these health issues, knowing how few resources are going into them. Gates said that both his parents set an example for him as a child. His father, William H. Gates, was the head of the local Planned Parenthood, and his mother, Mary, volunteered for the United Way. As he gathered his fortune, Gates knew he would eventually want to give back as well, but he didnt expect to devote himself whole-heartedly to one project until he was about 60.However, Gates, 47, began to question his ability to wait that long. It seemed there was a real time urgency, Gates said. I started to think, How many lives could I save before then?56. Bill Gates will give away his vast fortune to . A. improve the health of population in America alone B. improve the health of population all over the world C. avoid leaving his children too much money D. spare the American government the burden of health care57. Bill Gates believes that one important way of developing poor countries is . A. to set up more foundations for them B. to aid them with natural resources C. to put more effort into the health issues in them D. to help them take a more global view58. It can be learned from the text that Bill Gates thinks . A. Americans should care about people in other countries B. Americans should treat fellow citizens well C. Americans should devote themselves to certain projects D. Americans can be world-famous by giving away vast fortune59. Bill Gates gave away his vast fortune earlier than he had expected because of . A. his weakening health condition B. his parents suggestions C. his great success in business D. his concerns for suffering people Bputers are very important to modern lifeMany people think that in the future puters will be used in lots of everyday lifeIt is thought that we wont have to go shopping because we will be able to get most things which are sold in shops on the InternetThere will be no more books because we will be able to get all texts from putersThe Internet will be used to play games, see films and buy foodMost telephone calls will be made by puters, too Some people are glad about those new ways of shopping and municating. Others do not think that puters will replace our old ways Lets look at books, for exampleSome people think that one day we will not read books made of paper. Instead, we will buy and read books using puters We will read texts on small pocket putersThe puters will keep many different books in them at the same timeWe wont need to turn lots of pages and paper will be savedputerized(计算机化)books will be used more and more Is Internet shopping such a pleasure as going to the shop? Many people say it is notIt is a pleasure to go into shops and look at things you want to buyIt is also unlikely that many people will want to read large texts on our putersBecause paper books will perhaps be more friendlyMaybe puters wont change these two habits60In Paragraph l it is thought people will use puters for_ Aplaying games, shopping and making telephone calls Bmaking telephone calls, having meals and seeing films Cseeing films, buying food, and going for holidays Dplaying games, making telephone calls and seeing the doctor61Which reason for using puterized books is NOT said in the passage? Aputerized books wont be very expensive Bputers can keep many different books in them CWe wont have lots of pages DWe wont need any paper62Paragraph 4 tells_ Aabout the old and new ways of shopping and municating Bif the Internet will change our habits Cabout puterized books Dabout future uses of puters63The title for this passage is _Aputers will Replace Shops and Books Bputers Are the FutureCputers Will Do Everything for Man DHow puters Change Our Habits C Perhaps the most famous theory, the study of body movement, was suggested by Professor Ray Bird-whistell. He believes that physical experience is often culturally programmed. In other words, we learn outlooks - we are not born with them. A baby has generally informed face features. A baby, according to Birdwhistell, learns where to set the eyebrows by looking at those around - family and friends. This helps explain why the people of some areas of the US look so much alike. New Englanders or Southerners have certain mon face features that cannot be explained by genetics. The exact shape of the mouth is not set at birth, it is learned after. In fact, the final mouth shape is not formed. until well after new teeth are set. For many, this can be well into grown - ups. A husband and wife together for a long time often e to look somewhat alike. We learn our looks from those around us. This is perhaps why in a single country there are areas where people smile most frequently. In New England they smile less, and in the western part of New York State still less. Many Southerners find cities such as New York cold andunfriendly, partly because people on Madison Avenue smile less than people on Peachtree Street in Atlanta, Georgia. People in largely populated areas also smile and greet each other in public less than people in small towns do.64. Ray Birdwhistell believes that physical appearance A. has little to do with culture B. has much to do with culture C. is ever changing D. is different from place to place65. According to the passage, the final mouth shape is formed . A. before birth B. as soon as one s teeth are newly set C. sometime after new teeth are set D. around 15 years old66. Ray Birdwhistell can tell what area of the United States a person is from by . A how much he or she laughs B. how he or she raises his or her eyebrows C. what he or she likes best D. the way he or she talks67.This passage might have been taken out of a book dealing with . A. physics B. chemistry C. biology D. none of the above DIn most parts of the world, many students help their schools make less pollutionThey join “environment clubs”In an environment club, people work together to make our environment clean Here are some things students often do No-garbage（垃圾）lunchesHow much do you throw away after lunch？Environment clubs ask students to bring their lunches in bags that can be used againEvery week they will choose the classes that make the least garbage and report them to the whole school No-car dayOn a no-car day, nobody es to school in a car？Not the students and not the teachers! Cars give pollution to our air, so remember: Walk, jump, bike or runUse your legs! Its lots of fun Turn off the water! Did you know that some toilets can waste twenty to forty cubic（立方）meters of water an hour？In a year, that would fill a small river! In environment clubs, students mend those broken toiletsWe love our environmentLets work together to make it clean 68Environment clubs ask students _ Ato run to school every day Bto take exercise every day Cnot to forget to take cars Dnot to throw away lunch bags 69From the passage we know the students usually have lunch _ Aat school Bin shops Cin clubs Dat home 70After students mend toilets, they save _ Aa small river Ba club Ca lot of water Da toilet 71The writer wrote the passage to ask the students to _ Aclean school Bmake less pollution Cjoin clubs Dhelp teachers E All plant cells are capable of taking up water. Even dead ones do to a certain degree. Absorption of water by dead cell walls makes wood bee larger. In mon land plants, the living cells of roots take up most of the water. Land plants without roots do exist, however. Those greenish-yellow lichens (苔鲜) you see on rocks in the high mountains have no roots. Half a billion years ago, when water plants started to enter the land, the first land plants did not have roots. Even among the flowering plants, one finds rootless forms. These flowering plants are the higher plants because they evolved recently and are thus considered higher on the evolutionary scale (进化树). In the Peruvian desert, there grows one of these rootless higher plants, a bromeliad. It is a relative of the pineapple. Even if this plant had roots, they would be of no use, because where the plant grows, it never rains. The plant gets its water only from the dew (露水) it collects at night, when its leaves cool off. Such rootless plants, of course, can be moved with ease, but they will only grow when they are placed out in the open. If they are placed too near a house, the radiation from the heat of the house prevents the leaves from cooling and so prevents dew from forming, and the plant dies. In the southern United States and in Puerto Rico, one sees bromeliads growing high above the streets on the insulation (绝缘物) of electric wires. These plants get their water from rain, and the only soil they ever e in contact with is the dust that may blow on their leaves.72. Wood bees larger because of . A. dead cell walls B. water entering dead cells C. the growth of cells D. the death of cells73. From the passage we know that the evolutionary scale is graded according to . A. evolutionary cycles B. heights and depths C. time D. kinds74. The bromeliad is a plant that . A. has useless roots B. is a pineapple C. can grow anywhere D. takes up water through its leaves75. The most suitable title for this passage is . A. Absorption of water by plants B. Rootless plantsC. Plants in the desert D.
