题型:不详难度:来源:
These days, many passers-by always spot a beggar on the Jiaochangkou Street in Yuzhong District of Chongqing in southwest China.
The beggar’s name is Xia Haibo, and he was born in Meihe Village, Tianmen City of Hubei Province. Being 25 years old, he is quite a special beggar in some ways — he doesn’t beg on his knees, as other beggars do when begging. Rather, he often stands in the crowded street, either reading a book or thinking about something carefully. He also started a blog on the Internet which has been clicked more than 500,000 times. He likes reading — he has read many classical Chinese poems. He has kept writing and recently, he has planned to publish his writings.
In 1998, Xia entered Tianmen Middle School as the best student in his town. However, a year before he took the college entrance examination, he came down with a high fever and was later diagnosed (诊断) as having rheumatoid arthritis (类风湿性关节炎). In order to treat his disease, his father borrowed 60,000 yuan from relatives and friends. However, with this money, he didn’t recover from the disease. He did not want to become a burden (负担) to his family any more. So in July, 2006, he left his hometown and went to Wuhan to make a living by begging.
Begging has become a job to Xia now. However, he doesn’t plan to go on living like this. “By July 24, 2008, when I have been begging for two years, I will stop my begging life. I promise,” he said.
It is his plan that by using the money he “earns”, he will rent a small shop in his hometown and keep on writing in his spare time.
Right now, he is trying to finish a book of his own. The book, called Love Is With Me, tells about the people who helped him during his begging life.
小题1:The underlined word “spot” in the first paragraph is closest in meaning to “______”.

小题2:When did Xia Haibo get the serious illness?
A.In 1998.B.In 2001.C.In 2000.D.In 2006.

B.He writes Chinese poems for those who like poems.
C.He reads or thinks while standing in the street.
D.He teaches people how to surf the Internet.
小题4: Which of the following is NOT true about Xia Haibo?
A.His dream is to have his book published.
B.He will not stop begging until he earns enough money for his future life.

举一反三
Cambodians are continuing to mourn the death of King-Father Norodom Sihanouk, who died in Beijing this week. In an exclusive interview with CCTV, China’s ambassador to Cambodia, Pan Guangxue, says Sihanouk made indelible(不可磨灭的) contributions to Sino-Cambodian relations and his death will not affect the friendship between the two countries.
Since its founding, the People’s Republic of China has maintained close contact with Cambodia. Bilateral(双边的) trade volume has increased rapidly in recent years, from 200 million US dollars in 2002 to nearly 2.5 billion US dollars in 2011.
China is now not only Cambodia’s third largest trading partner, but for many years has been Cambodia’s number one investor. Norodom Sihanouk, Cambodia’s “King-Father” pioneered the relationship.
Pan Guangxue said, “If we look back at previous decades, I think Sihanouk made the right choice, a choice good to Cambodian national development. It was because of his commitment to the development of Sino-Cambodia friendship that we’ve achieved what we have today.”
In 2010, the two countries established a comprehensive strategic partnership, during its Prime Minister Hun Sen’s visit to China.
And 2013 is set to be China-Cambodia Friendship Year.
Pan Guangxue said, “Cambodian Prime Minister Hun Sen said on many occasions that China does not tell Cambodia what to do or what not to do. China does not point fingers at Cambodia. I think this is a true evaluation of Sino-Cambodian relations. China pursues an independent peaceful foreign policy of non-alignment(不结盟) and non-interference in the internal affairs of other countries.”
The ambassador says Sihanouk’s death is a huge loss to both China and Cambodia, but that bilateral relations will not be affected.
Pan Guangxue said, “I believe the bilateral relationship will be sustained and grow even stronger.”
With both countries enjoying the benefits of the fruitful relationship, the governments of China and Cambodia have promised that Sihanouk’s legacy(遗产) will continue to be the foundation of even stronger ties.
小题1:We can learn from the passage that Sihanouk ________.
A.is the present Cambodian Prime Minister
B.went for an interview with CCTV the other day
C.made the right choice to encourage investment in China
D.had great influence on Sino-Cambodian relations
小题2:The following facts can prove the good Sino-Cambodian relations EXCEPT that _______.
A.Sihanouk was committed to Cambodian national development
B.the two countries has set 2013 to be China-Cambodia Friendship Year
C.the two countries has established a comprehensive strategic partnership
D.trade volume between the two countries has increased sharply in recent years
小题3:What is Pan Guangxue’s opinion on Sihanouk’s death?
A.It will more or less damage the bilateral relationship.
B.It will continue to be the foundation of even stronger ties.
C.It means a huge loss for both countries in economy.
D.It has very little negative effect on the bilateral relationship.
小题4:Which of the following would be the best title for the passage?
A.China-Cambodia Friendship Year
B.China-Cambodia friendship to continue

In recent years, the world has made progress in reducing deaths among children under the age of five. A new report says an estimated 6.9 million children worldwide died before their fifth birthday. That compares to about twelve million in1990.
The report says child mortality rates have fallen in all areas. It says the number of deaths is down by at least 50 percent in eastern, western and southeastern Asia. The number also fell in North Africa, Latin America and the Caribbean.
Ties Boerma is head of the WHO’s Department of Health Statistics and Informatics. He says most child deaths happen in just a few areas.
TIES BOERMA: “Sub-Saharan Africa and southern Asia face the greatest challenges in child survival. More than eighty percent of child deaths in the world occur in these two regions. About half of child deaths occur in just five countries—India, which actually takes twenty-four percent of the global total; Nigeria, eleven percent; the Democratic Republic of Congo, seven percent; Pakistan, five percent and China, four percent of under-five deaths in the world.”
Ties Boerma notes that, in developed countries, one child in one hundred fifty-two dies before his or her fifth birthday. But south of the Sahara Desert, one out of nine children dies before the age of five. In Asia, the mortality rate is one in sixteen.  
The report lists the top five causes of death among children under five worldwide. They are pneumonia, diarrhea, malaria and problems both before and during birth.
Tessa Wardlaw is with the U-N Children’s Fund. She is pleased with the progress being made in Sub-Saharan Africa. The area has the highest under-five mortality rate in the world. But she says the rate of decline in child deaths has more than doubled in Africa.
TESSA WARDLAW: “We welcome the widespread progress in child survival, but we importantly want to stress that there’s a lot of work that remains to be done. There’s unfinished business and the fact is that today on average, around nineteen thousand children are still dying every day from largely preventable causes.”
The World Health Organization says one way to solve these problems is to make sure health care services are available to women. In this way, medical problems can be avoided or treated when identified.
小题1:Since 1990, the number of the children who died before 5 in the world has dropped by about__________.
A.6,900,000B.12,000,000C.1,200,000D.5,100,000
小题2: What does the underlined word “mortality” ( in Paragraph 2)mean?
A.illnessB.reductionC.deathD.problem
小题3:According to the passage, the readers are likely to believe that __________.
A.child mortality rates have fallen just in five areas
B.Sub-Saharan Africa has the highest under-five mortality rate in the world
C.in developed countries, no children die before the age of five
D.the world has made little progress in reducing the rates of child mortality
小题4:______ is the top-one cause of death among children under five worldwide.
A.Global warming B.MalariaC.PneumoniaD.Diarrhea
小题5:What will be probably referred to in the following paragraph?
A.Women do not want to have babies.
B.How more health care services are available to women.
C.Medical problems are completely solved.
