質(zhì)疑和批評這個人的誠實。正因為如此,作者想把這些隨機(jī)行為的理念傳播到全世界,想向人們展示,他們所付出的每一件小事都能給別人的生活帶來巨大的改變。 (1)考查細(xì)節(jié)理解。根據(jù)第一段中的”I was smiling from ear to ear, whispering “I want to be like him” to myself as I watched him walking away.“我笑得合不攏嘴,看著他走開,我低聲對自己說:“我想成為他那樣的人??芍盏侥泻⒌拿倒宓挠绊?,作者決定效仿。故選B。 (2)考查細(xì)節(jié)理解。根據(jù)第二段中的”From then on, I made it as my life mission to do random acts of kindness whenever I can.

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,但他有一個遺憾。這位白手起家的億萬富翁說,他覺得自己不懂外語很愚蠢。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,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)被問及人生的教訓(xùn)時,這位億萬富翁表示,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.”我在高中的時候?qū)W過拉丁語和希臘語,拿到了A,我想這對我的詞匯量有幫助。由此推斷出比爾蓋茨在高中時很擅長學(xué)習(xí)語言,故選B。 【點評】本題考點涉及推理判斷和主旨大意兩個題型的考查,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 Debates over the benefits of recycling started in 1996 when a writer called John Tierney said recycling is garbage. According to him, Recycling programs offer mainly shortterm benefits to a few related groups while diverting money from real social and environmental problems. It doubles energy consumption and pollution while costing taxpayers more money than dealing with old garbage. Recycling may be the most wasteful activity in modern America. Environmental groups were quick to respond to Tierney by issuing reports detailing the benefits of recycling and showing how municipal (市政的) recycling programs reduce pollution and the use of resources while decreasing the amount of garbage and the need for landfill space — all for less, not more, than the cost of regular garbage collection and disposal(處置).
