He appears regularly on radio, TV and in print. His latest book Dynasty is published in paperback by Abacus.Moominsummer MadnessBy Tove

11、 JansoonWhat I love about this book, as a child and still today, is its mix of the fantastical and normal. On the one hand, its about a family and their friends all enjoying themselves, quite happy not doing much. On the other hand, its about characters that can change into odd shapes, magicians com

That mix of the familiar and the extraordinary informs all my writing.The HistoriesBy HerodoTusBy the time I was 12, I was obsessed by Ancient Greece and Rome. At first, I found the early section of The Histories a real grind beca

Over the years, I come to value the infectious curiosity of the first half and the portrait of the world in

17、raduate in 2014. But after a fight with his dad, he was “tossed out” on the street. Eventually, his grandmother took him in for a while, but with her working during the day, Omorogbe needed to care for his seriously ill grandfather. School eventually became too much, so he dropped out.For many stude

18、nts across the country, circumstances like Omorogbes can derail (使偏离轨道) them the high-school-to-college track. In his case, Boston Public Schools Re-Engagement Center was able to connect him with EDCO Youth Alternative, a school that provides extra support to nontraditional and struggling students.

19、He started in September 2016 and will have his diploma in hand by May.“I have my counselor (指导教师) who calls me every day. If I miss school for two or three days, shell call me, and ask, Are you OK? ” says Omorogbe. “During the vacations, shell call me; for my birthday, shell bake me a cake.”Ten year

20、s ago, Boston high school students like Omorogbe were far less likely to get their diploma. In 2007, the citys graduation rate was 59 percent. This year, in 2017, the number of Boston students who graduated in four years hit a record high of 72.4 percent. Statewide, the graduation rate inched up to

21、a record 87.5 percent from 87.3 percent last year, according to state figures.“Youre seeing gradual progress,” says Paul Reville, a professor at Harvards Graduate School of Education and former Secretary of education for Massachusetts. “Were dealing with one of the most important problems that we ha

22、ve in education these days, which is people dropping out without a high school education and having no place to go in our economy.”Education experts say Bostons record graduation rate was particularly encouraging because of the gains by the citys African-American and Latino students in the last deca

23、de 13.6 and 16.5 percentage points respectively.But with roughly 5,500 kids across the state still dropping out of high school every year, professor Reville and others admit that Massachusetts, widely recognized as having the nations leading education system, still has a long way to go.1、Why did Omo

DHe had to take on the role of a carer.2、What does Omorogbe think of his counselor?AShes strict. BShes kind-hearted.CShes open-minded. DShes knowledgeable.3、Which of the following

These plants a

27、re used to make traditional medicine, including drugs to fight cancer. “The loss of medicinal plants is a quiet disaster,” says Sara Oldfield, secretary general of the NGO Botanic Gardens Conservation International.Most people worldwide rely on herbal (药草制的) medicines which are got mostly from wild

28、plants. But some 15,000 of the 50,000 medicinal species are under threat of dying out, according to report from the international conservation group Plantlife. Shortages have been reported in China, India, Kenya, Nepal, Tanzania and Uganda.Over-harvesting does the most harm, though pollution and com

29、petition from invasive species (入侵物种) and habitat destruction all contribute. Businessmen generally harvest medicinal plants, not caring about sustainability (可持续性),” the Plantlife report says, “damage is serious partly because they have no idea about it, but it is mainly because such collection is

30、unorganized”. Medicinal trees at risk include the Himalayan yew (紫衫) and the African cherry, which are used to treat some cancers.The solution, says the reports author, Alan Hamilton, is to encourage local people to protect these plants. Ten projects studied by Plantlife in India, Pakistan, China, N

31、epal, Uganda and Kenya showed this method can succeed. In Uganda, the project has kept a sustainable supply of low-cost cancer treatments, and in China a public-run medicinal plant project has been created for the first time.”“Improving health, earning an income and keeping cultural traditions are i

32、mportant in encouraging people to protect medicinal plants,” says Hamilton, “You have to pay attention to what people are interested in.”Ghillean Prance, the former director of the Royal Botanic Gardens at Kew in London, agrees that medicinal plants are in need of protection. “Not nearly enough is b

33、eing done,” he told New Scientist. “We are destroying the very plants that are of most use to us.”1、From the first two paragraphs, we can learn that _.Amillions of people are threatened with cancerBmost countries see a shortage of herbal medicinesCabout two thirds of medicinal species will disappear

34、Da number of medicinal species are in danger of extinction2、The major factor that causes the decreasing of supplies of medicinal plants is _.Aover-harvesting Bhabitat destructionCpollution Dinvasive species3、The underlined word “it” in Paragraph 3 refers to _.Apollution Bother species invasionCsusta

35、inability Dover-harvesting4、What can be inferred from the passage?AProtecting medicinal plants has a long way to go.BLocal people dont know how to protect medicinal plants.CGhillean Prance is optimistic about medicinal plants future.DChina has made great progress in protecting medicinal plants.24（8分

36、）In a foreign country, a man visited a local restaurant. He didnt speak their language. He ordered something indecipherable off the menu. When the waiter brought him a plate of delicious looking fried noodles, he smiled and made an OK sign at the waiter with his thumb and forefinger linked in a circ

37、le. Looking angry, the waiter then picked up the dish and thrown it to his lap. What he did wrong, he wondered. Well, nothing is quite as it seems when it comes to using hand gesture in another country.Gestures have been used to replace words in many countries, and they are often specific to a given

38、 culture. Gesture may mean something complimentary in one culture, but is highly offensive in another.The gesture “thumb-up” is commonly misinterpreted. In English, it is popularly known as thumbs up, despite the fact that the action is commonly performed with only one hand. English-speaking Caucasi

39、ans use it to signal OK, which is the same meaning as O.K. ring gesture. The two can in fact be used almost interchangeably.Avoid using this gesture in Southern Sardina or Northern Greece unless you want to invite a fight. While American, British and Australian would use the thumb up to signal hitch

40、-hiking to the drivers, this message will not encourage a Greek driver or motorist to stop to give them a ride.There are no right or wrong signals, only cultural differences. Lack of cultural understanding will lead to disharmony among people from different cultures. When we know what to look for, s

41、uch encounters with other cultures are actually very interesting, fascinating and fun. It is certainly a great topic to discuss over a cup of coffee and cakes.1、What did the man in the first paragraph do wrong?AHe misunderstood the waiter. BHe didnt realize cultural differences.CHe ordered something

42、 off the menu. DHe made the signal in a rude way.2、What does the underlined word in the second paragraph mean?AFull of admiration. BFull of aggression.CFull of complexity. DFull of certainty.3、What will happen if you make a thumb up toward a man in Northern Greece?AHe will stop to give you a lift. B

43、He will get annoyed and fight against you.CHe will ask you to give him a lift. DHe will make the same signal toward you.4、Whats the purpose of the passage?ATo explain the meaning of different gestures.BTo tell stories about different cultures.CTo advise us to have an understanding of cultural differ

44、ences.DTo persuade people from different countries live in harmony.25（10分） It was 2012, and somewhere on a cassava (木暑)and banana farm in rural Tanzania, there were four of us standing in a circle: me, two farmers named Joyce and Elijah, and the former secretary general of the United Nations，Kofi An

45、nan.Elijah and Joyce did most of the talking. They told us how this farm was unlike any they had worked on; how there were improved crop varieties and new tools to process the harvest. There was even a daycare centre near the farm. This way, women could spend more time selling what they grew* I ratt

46、led off (不假思索地说出)some questions. Do you sell your cassava only here一or do you ship it somewhere else? How far is the market? Have you seen a difference in your yields? Kofi, though, mostly listened.Later, after we left the fields and walked towards the daycare centre where there was a bigger crowd,

47、Kofi started talking. He was telling jokes, trying to put everyone at ease, and doing a very good job of it. The man had the deepest, most infectious laugh Ive ever heard and an incredibly commanding voice. He sounded like an actor playing himself.Kofi and I had attended a lot of the same UN events,

48、 and hed visited our foundations offices in Seattle a few times, so Id seen him charm a room before. But this day on the cassava farm was different. He was completely at home here. I suppose I shouldnt have been surprised: Kofi Annan, of all the world leaders I had met, had spent the most time think

49、ing about how to help places like this farm and people like Joyce and Elijah.When my husband Bill and I started our foundation in 2000，we still had so many questions about the best ways to fight poverty and disease, and Kofi, it seemed, already had the answers. That year, hed written a manifesto (宣目

50、)about the UNs role in the 21st century. In its final pages, hed included a set of targets around poverty and disease reduction that he wanted the world to achieve by 2015. These became known as the Millennium Development Goals (MDG), and at first, critics dismissed them immediately. Cut extreme pov

51、erty in half? Stop the spread of HIV, malaria and TB, the three greatest killers in poor countries? At best, it was overly optimistic.Kofi wasnt satisfied with just setting the goals, though. He wanted to push the world to achieve them. No other secretary general was so able to connect the UNs heart

52、 with its brain, its mission to lift up the sick and the poor with an effective plan for doing so. He was a master，too, at bringing world leaders along for the ride.Today, there are 27 million people alive who would have otherwise died from HIV-related illness, TB or malaria And they live, in large

53、part, because Kofi gathered the world to establish the Global Fund, which pays for medicines and things that prevent those diseases from spreading, such as mosquito nets. The world met its goal of halving the global poverty rate by 2015; in fact, it did so five years ahead of schedule, in 2010. “Dev

54、elopment experts，” one observer wrote, “are still rubbing their eyes.When he received the Nobel Peace Prize in 2001，Kofi said that “todays real borders are not between nations, but between the powerful and powerless”. He saw Africas small farmers as part of the latter camp and wanted to give them a

55、way to lift themselves out of poverty. This was what led us to that cassava farm back in 2012.I remember that after our visit that day, Kofi thanked me for the foundations work. He was generous in his praise，and then he gave me a nickname. “Mama Melinda， he called me.It was a term of respect, typica

56、lly given to an elder, and I felt honored but surprised. Mama Melinda? If there was one person who deserved such an honour, I thought it wasnt me.1、Kofi Annans inspection of the farm is mentioned to .Aintroduce the carefree lifestyle of African peopleBillustrate his close relationship with African f

57、armersCemphasize the gravity of poverty in African countriesDshow his concern for the poverty-relief work in Africa2、We can know from the passage that the MDG .Afailed to win support from leaders of the worldBwas too ambitious and optimistic to be successfulCfocused more on the goals than effective

58、measuresDrevealed Kofi s extraordinary wisdom and capability3、What can we infer from the underlined part in Para.7?AIt was hard to see where the hope lay.BThe success of the MDG was unbelievable .CThe development experts were moved to tears.DThe long-term commitment made people sleepy.4、We can learn

59、 from Kofis words in Para.8 that .Athe powerful people rule over the powerless massesBthe powerful nations often occupy their powerless neighborsCthe gap between the rich and the poor separates the world apartDthe rich and the poor countries should compromise on border issues5、Which of the following

60、 can be used to describe Kofi Annan?ACharming, aggressive and stubborn.BAmbitious, easy-going and dutiful.CConservative, humorous and positive.DBureaucratic, sympathetic and generous.6、Whats the best title for the passage?AMama Melinda: a nickname with great honour.BThe UN: an organization full of d
