This is a speech of Bill Gates and his wife.

Melinda Gates： This is in Africa， our very first trip， the first time either of us had ever been to Africa， in the fall of 1993. We were already 16 to be married. We married a few months later， and this was the trip where we really went to see the animals and to see the 17 . It was 18 . Bill had never taken 19 much time off from work. But what really touched us， actually， were the people， and the extreme 20 . We started asking ourselves questions. Does it have to be like this？

Bill Gates： Well， we decided that wed pick two causes， whatever the biggest inequity was globally， and there we looked at children 21 ， children not having enough 22 to ever develop， and countries that were really 23 ， because with that level of death， and parents would have so many kids that theyd get huge population growth， and that the kids were so sick that they really couldnt be educated and 24 themselves up. So that was our global thing， and then in the U.S.， both of us have had amazing educations， and we saw that as the way that the U.S. could 25 its promise of equal opportunity is by having a phenomenal 26 system， and the more we 27 ， the more we realized were not really fulfilling that promise.

So this is a story largely of vaccines. Smallpox was killing a couple million kids a year. That was 28 ， so that got down to zero. Measles was killing a couple million a year. Thats down to a few hundred thousand. 29 ， this is a chart where you want to get that number to continue， and its going to be possible， using the science of new vaccines， getting the vaccines out to kids. We can actually 30 the progress.

31 we built this thing together from the beginning， its this great partnership. I had that with Paul Allen in the early days of Microsoft.

Shell sit down with the employees a lot. Well take the different trips she described. So theres a lot of collaboration. I cant think of anything where one of us had a super strong opinion about one thing or another？

Well， I would say a huge lesson for us out of the early work is we thought that these small schools were the answer， and small schools definitely help. They 33 the dropout rate. They have less violence and crime in those schools. But the thing that we learned from that work， and what 34 to be the fundamental key， is a great teacher in front of the classroom. If you dont have an effective teacher in the front of the classroom， I dont care how big or small the building is， youre not going to change the trajectory of 35 that student will be ready for college.

A

Giving hongbaos—red envelopes filled with money—to junior family members as a Spring Festival gift has long been a tradition in China. In recent years， sending digital hongbaos via mobile platforms such as WeChat and Alipay has become a popular way of celebrating the Chinese Lunar New Year.

WeChat， an instant messaging platform owned by the Chinese Internet giant Tencent， launched its digital hongbao feature during the 2014 Spring Festival. WeChat users can bind their bank accounts to the platform and send out hongbaos to an individual or a group of friends. The senders type in the amount of money they want to send as well as the number of packets they want to distribute the money in. On the recipients chat window， an image of a red envelope is displayed， on which an “open” button can be pressed to access the money inside， the amount of which can be randomized. Besides the digital red envelopes sent by individuals， companies can also send out hongbaos to customers in the form of cash or coupons.

When WeChat first launched its red envelope service in 2014， 5 million people used the feature. The number increased this year to 516 million. According to Tencent， the number of red envelopes sent and received from February 7 to 12 reached 32.1 billion， a 10fold yearonyear increase.

Online payment services such as Alibabas Alipay and Baidus Baidu Wallet then followed suit and launched their own red envelope services during the 2015 Spring Festival and 2016 New Years Eve， respectively.

Over 100 million Alipay users shared the 800 million yuan （$123 million） worth of electronic red envelopes offered by Alipay during the China Central Televisions Spring Festival Gala this year， an overfourhour annual program broadcast live on the eve of the Lunar New Year. This year， Alipay spent 268.8 million yuan （$41 million） in sponsoring the event， which attracted over 1 billion viewers.

Digital red envelopes have revolutionized the hongbao tradition in China. Previously， only the senior members of ones family gave red envelopes to their juniors. Now， digital red envelopes can be sent and received by anyone， including friends， family and strangers.

The craze for the new online activity has stirred controversy. Some commentators have applauded the new feature for adding to the fun of the Spring Festival， while others are worried that it is diluting Chinas traditions.

36. The underlined word “diluting” in the last paragraph may most probably mean “ ”.

A. making something stronger

B. making something weaker

C. making something popular

D. making something disgusting

37. Which part is the passage most probably from a newspaper？

A. Business. B. Education.

C. Travel. D. Culture.

38. What is the authors attitude towards sending digital hongbaos via mobile platforms？

A. Subjective. B. Objective.

C. Concerned. D. Indifferent.

Can you imagine your next package from Amazon being delivered at your doorstep by a whirring drone？

Jeff Bezos， Amazons CEO， unveiled his futuristic plan on the television show “Sixty Minutes” last week. The technology world was abuzz with excitement. Companies such as United Parcel Service and Google quickly followed suit， disclosing their own autonomous robot projects.

Is Bezos dreaming， or could this become reality？ Well， for one， there are many hurdles to cross—both technical and legal.

Drones， also known as Unmanned Aerial Vehicles （UAV）， are nothing but flying robots. Unlike radiocontrolled aircrafts which are manually piloted， drones follow a mission from one point to another， usually guided by GPS. Drones in the future may rely on infrared vision and other sensors. Equipped with cameras， drones also have the ability to transmit data wirelessly back to a base.

Drones were made possible with the advent of autopilot technology in the 1930s that keeps a plane flying at a level altitude. The invention of lightweight materials， and tiny， smart sensors for measuring rates of rotation， air pressure， force of gravity and direction have enabled drones to shrink to the size of insects！

Firstly， at the low altitudes where drones operate—under 500 feet， there are many hazards such as buildings， trees and wires. Secondly， since these UAVs fly close to the ground， there is a chance of losing the GPS signal which the aircraft depends on. Finally， navigating through varying weather conditions and different terrain will be tricky.

On the legal side， there are privacy issues as people will not like the idea of flying devices equipped with cameras in their neighborhoods. There is also the risk of drones crashing into someones backyard， or much worse， into a commercial airliner.

It will take time for the technology to mature and for people to agree on how best to use drones for civilian purposes. We may not see drones by 2015 as Bezos hopes！

39. What can we infer from the passage？

A. Drones are nothing but flying robots.

B. Drones can send information to a base.

C. Drones are usually piloted by hand.

D. Drones entirely depend on infrared vision.

40. What is Bezoss attitude towards Drones？

A. Frustrated. B. Objective.

C. Subjective. D. Hopeful.

41. Which of the following is not the shortcoming of Drones？

A. There are many risks at low altitudes that may cause damage.

B. It will need a lot of time for Drones to be further developed.

C. They may lose the GPS signals.

D. They may disturb peoples privacy.

42. What could be the best title for the passage？

A. Would you like drones delivering your Amazon packages？

B. The Challenge

C. Drones At Your Doorstep？

D. How Drones Work？

A wide range of disorders and problems in schoolage children have been linked to delayed fatherhood in a major study involving millions of people. Increased rates of autism， attention deficit hyperactivity disorder （ADHD）， bipolar disorder， schizophrenia， suicide attempts and substance abuse problems were all reported. The study， in JAMA Psychiatry， suggests mutated sperm were to blame. However， experts say the benefits older dads bring may outweigh any problems. The investigation by Indiana University， in the US， and Swedens Karolinska Institute has been described as the largest and one of the best designed studies on the issue.

The researchers looked at 2.6 million people and at the difference between siblings born to the same father as it accounts for differences in upbringing between families. Comparing children of a 45yearold dad to those of a 24yearold father it indicated：

autism was more than three times as likely

a 13fold increased risk of ADHD

double the risk of a psychotic disorder

25 times more likely to have bipolar disorder

2.5 times more likely to have suicidal behaviour or problems with drugs

lower scores at school

There was no starting point after which the risk started to increase， rather any increase in age had an associated increase in risk. However， the overall risk is likely to remain low. Even if a the risk of a rare disorder is doubled， it is still very unlikely to affect a child. The problem is small increases in risk scaled up over millions of people having children later can lead to an increased incidence of such disorders. One of the researchers， Dr Brian DOnofrio， said he was shocked by the findings， which suggested a higher risk than previously estimated. He told the BBC， “The implications of the study is that delaying childbearing is also associated with increased risk for psychiatric and academic problems in the offspring. The study adds to a growing body of research， that suggests families， doctors， and society as a whole must consider both the pros and cons of delaying childbearing.” Sperm are produced constantly throughout a mans lifetime. As the spermmaking mechanism ages， so too do the number of errors—older sperm have more mutations which may be damaging.

Dr James MacCabe， senior lecturer in psychosis at the Institute of Psychiatry， “I would make the point very strongly that men should not decide on whether or when to have children on a single study， or cumulative studies.” He said the risks were low and that even a doubling or trebling of risk would still affect a small proportion of people. “Having said that， with the demographic change we have seen in the last decade， on a population level this is a concern and we might expect higher rates of psychoses now and in the future.” He added that older dads bring many advantages such as more stable relationships and higher income， which “probably outweigh” any risks.

43. Which of the following is TURE about the study？

A. Experts found the expected results according to the study.

B. The study， carried out by Indiana University， studied 2.6 million people.

C. The study has been considered to be one of the largest studies on the problem.

D. The study made a comparison between children of a 45yearold dad and a 24yearold dad.

44. What might the author talk about in the next paragraph？

A. The experts attitudes towards the study.

B. The best age for men to have children.

C. The advantages of delayed fatherhood.

D. The reasons for teenager problems caused by delaying childbearing.

45. What is the main purpose of the passage？

A. To persuade men to give birth to babies earlier.

B. To inform people of the result of the study.

C. To doubt the experts study and the result.

D. To entertain people with amazing result of the study.

“OK，” I said to my daughter as she bent over her afternoon bowl of rice. “Whats going on with you and your friend J.？” J. is the leader of a group of thirdgraders at her camp—a position Lucy herself occupied the previous summer. Now shes the one on the outs， and every day at snack time， she tells me all about it， while I offer up the unhelpful advice all summer long.

“Shes fond of giving orders，” Lucy complained. “Shes turning everyone against me，” Lucy muttered. “Shes mean， shes bad at math， shes terrible at kickball. And... shes fat.”

“Excuse me，” I said， struggling for calm. “What did you just say？”

“She is fat，” Lucy mumbled into her bowl.

“We are going upstairs，” I said， my voice cold， “We are going to discuss this.” And up we went.

Id spent the nine years since her birth getting ready for this day， the day wed have to have the conversation about this horrible word. I knew exactly what to say to the girl on the receiving end of the teasing （嘲笑）， but in all of my imaginings， it never once occurred to me that my daughter would be the one who used the F word—Fat.

My daughter sat on her bed， and I sat beside her. “How would you feel if someone made fun of you for something that wasnt your fault？” I began. “She could stop eating so much，” Lucy mumbled， mouthing the simple advice a thousand doctors and wellmeaning friends and relatives have given overweight women for years.

“Its not always that easy，” I said. “Everyones different in terms of how they treat food.” Lucy looked at me， waiting for me to go on. I opened my mouth， then closed it. Should I tell her that， in teasing a womans weight， shes joined the long， proud tradition of critics who go after any woman with whom they disagree by starting with “youre ugly” and ending with “no man would want you and there must be something wrong with any man who does？” Should I tell her I didnt cry when someone posted my picture and commented， “Im sorry， but arent authors who write books marketed to young women supposed to be pretty？”

Does she need to know， now， that life isnt fair？ I feel her eyes on me， waiting for an answer I dont have. Words are my tools. Stories are my job. Its possible shell remember what I say forever， and I have no idea what to say.

So I tell her the only thing I can come up with that is absolutely true. I say to my daughter， “I love you， and there is nothing you could ever do to make me not love you， But Im disappointed in you right now. There are plenty of reasons for not liking someone. What she looks like isnt one of them.”

Lucy nods， tears on her cheeks. “I wont say that again，” she tells me， and I pull her close， pressing my nose against her hair. We are both quiet， and I dont know if I have said the right thing. So as we sit there together， shoulder to shoulder， I pray for her to be smart. I pray for her to be strong. I pray for her to find friends， work she loves， a partner who loves her， and for the world not to deprive （剝奪） her of the things that make her who she is， for her life to be easy， and for her to have the strength to handle it when its not. And still， always， I pray that she will never struggle as Ive struggled， that weight will never be her cross to bear. She may not be able to use the word in our home， but I can use it in my head. I pray that she will never get fat.

46. The underlined sentence in Paragraph 1 indicates that Lucy .

A. often makes fun of her friend J.

B. has begun to compete with her friend J.

C. gets along well with her friend J.

D. has turned against her friend J.

47. Why does the author want to discuss with Lucy？

A. Because she decides to tell Lucy a similar story of her own.

B. Because she has prepared the conversation for nine years.

C. Because she wants to offer some other helpful advice.

D. Because she is really shocked at Lucys rudeness.

48. It can be inferred from the passage that .

A. the author earns a living by writing stories

B. the author is a fat but goodlooking woman

C. the author will stop loving her daughter for what she said

D. the authors daughter agreed with her from the very beginning

49. What does the author want to tell her daughter？

A. People shouldnt complain because life is unfair.

B. People shouldnt be blamed for their appearance.

Have you ever intended to be fully absorbed in your work but found yourself distracted by email， the Internet and other things throughout the day？

“People often lose their concentration when they are bored， of course， but also when they are engaged in challenging tasks，” says Peter Bregman. “They sometimes have a feeling to escape from whats difficult or boring， so they jump out，” he says. The part of the brain devoted to attention is connected to the brains emotional center. Any strong emotion—quarrels with colleagues， problems at home—can interrupt our attention. Studies over the last decade have shown that too much work to do at a time can easily lead to distraction.

Refocusing is hard for many people. Robert Epstein suggests the following， “Stop and listen to music for a few minutes. Go for a short walk or take a deep breath， where you breathe in deeply， count to five slowly， hold it and breathe out very slowly.” This can “blow out all the tension and the unwanted in your mind to restore your focus.”

Take more control by structuring your time and becoming more aware of your behaviors. “Setting the phone alarm to go off every hour is my way of creating awareness，” Mr. Bregman says， “You have to inform yourself that youve lost focus in order to do something about it.” Starting the day with a todo list is important， such as when to eat， when to go to the gym or take a walk. But if its overly ambitious， you will put yourself in a state of anxiety， which makes it hard for the brain to concentrate. “Choosing three or four things as your priority for the day allows your brain to settle down and focus，” he says.

51. How to become more focus on the work？

52. for getting distracted

五、One possible version：

Does financial difference affect friendship？

Friendship is of great importance in our life. Some people think the rich should be a kind of people while the poor are another kind. They hold the opinion that even if the rich and the poor become friends， financial difference will still affect their friendship. However， other people have the different idea， holding that the pure and innocent friendship will never be affected by money. From my point of view， I am in favor of the latter one.

Friendship provides us with the chances to share our happiness and sadness. So heart is the key to maintaining friendship. Besides， the main factors contributing to friendship are trust and understanding. However， money is not that important. This is the most valuable characteristic of friendship. And I think this is the reason why people always say that a true friend is in the day of adversity.

To sum up， the true friendship is the communication between hearts. And the friendship related to money is not the true friendship. So in a word， financial difference will not affect true friendship.
