The selfmade billionaire said he felt stupid for not knowing any foreign languages. Speaking in his third Ask Me Anything questionandanswer session for online forum Reddit(紅迪網(wǎng)), the Microsoft founder said that he wished he spoke French, Arabic or Chinese. He said, I took Latin and Greek in high school and got As and I guess it helps my vocabulary. I keep hoping to get time to study one of these—probably French because it is the easiest. I did Duolingo for a while but didn39。t keep it up. Gates, who is worth $ billion, praised Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg for surprising an audience in Beijing when he spoke fluent Chinese. Mark Zuckerberg amazingly learned Chinese and did a Q amp。 A with Chinese students—unbelievable, isn39。t it? he said. This isn39。t the first time for Gates to admit his regret over language. He also showed his habits at home and personal insights. Last February, Gates said he likes to do the dishes himself—to his own special standards every night and also told the interviewer that his wife, Melinda, would likely want Samuel L. Jackson to play her husband in a biopic(傳記片). He also admitted that he would pick up a $100 bill if he found it on the street. As he took the top spot on Forbes(福布斯) 28th Annual Billionaires list last year for the fourth time, he said he is pretty basic when it es to spending on clothes and food, but that he enjoys investing in shoes and rackets(球拍) when he plays tennis. When asked a life lesson he had to learn the hard way, the billionaire said staying up too late is a habit he is still trying to break. Don39。t stay up too late even if the book is really exciting. You will regret it in the morning. Pam is still working on this problem, he said.(1)Which of the following can be the best title for the passage?

The selfmade billionaire said he felt stupid for not knowing any foreign languages.”世界首富比爾蓋茨似乎擁有一切,但他有一個(gè)遺憾。這位白手起家的億萬(wàn)富翁說(shuō),他覺(jué)得自己不懂外語(yǔ)很愚蠢。是全文的主題句,可知這篇文章主要講了比爾蓋茨的遺憾,故選C。 (2)考查推理判斷。根據(jù)第八段中的“but that he enjoys investing in shoes and rackets(球拍) when he plays tennis.”但他喜歡在打網(wǎng)球時(shí),投資買鞋和球拍。由此推斷出上文的意思是他在食物和衣服上花的錢不多,故選D。 (3)考查推理判斷。根據(jù)最后一段中的“ When asked a life lesson he had to learn the hard way, the billionaire said staying up too late is a habit he is still trying to break.”當(dāng)被問(wèn)及人生的教訓(xùn)時(shí),這位億萬(wàn)富翁表示,他仍在努力改掉熬夜的習(xí)慣。由此可知,比爾蓋茨的建議是避免熬夜太晚,故選C。 (4)考查推理判斷。根據(jù)第三段中的“I took Latin and Greek in high school and got As and I guess it helps my vocabulary.”我在高中的時(shí)候?qū)W過(guò)拉丁語(yǔ)和希臘語(yǔ),拿到了A,我想這對(duì)我的詞匯量有幫助。由此推斷出比爾蓋茨在高中時(shí)很擅長(zhǎng)學(xué)習(xí)語(yǔ)言,故選B。 【點(diǎn)評(píng)】本題考點(diǎn)涉及推理判斷和主旨大意兩個(gè)題型的考查,是一篇人生感悟類閱讀,要求考生根據(jù)上下文進(jìn)行邏輯推理,概括歸納,從而選出正確答案。5.閱讀理解 On Thursday night my two adult children took us out to dinner as our daughter lives in Bathurst and she will be there for Father39。s Day with her husband39。s side of the family. Two of our grandchildren were able to join us. Having precelebrated my Father39。s Day and it being on our minds, my wife asked this question only this morning: Do you remember anything about your father? While this subject had e up before, however, the question had not been put so bluntly(直率的). I answered No. My only memory is of the few photos outside. You see, my father died when I was only four years old. Many people have lost their father early in life and it is easy to feel somewhat sorry for having to deal with such a situation, especially when the death has occurred when you are at an early age. On reflection, I think I do not remember anything because he passed away when he was a member of the Royal Australian Air Force. He was a Corporal(下士) doing land based duties, however, a medical condition took his life. It was 1942. The 2nd World War was in full battle and Australia was being attacked. My Mum and I with my younger brother, were living with my grandparents and I can only imagine the emotional circumstances that existed in the household at that time. Probably not something that would leave a memory. What I would like to say at this time, as the question is often asked, What did you learn from your father? The thing I learnt from his passing, at the age of 28, is a love of life. What I do remember is growing up wondering if I would live to his age, and after I did, thinking each year the bonus(津貼) of life I had been blessed with when pared to my father. I have sometimes felt disappointment in not knowing my father but life has moved on. However, can I say to those who do have fathers, celebr
