（40分）A"Today I will give you a special test," said the English teacher with a smile on his face.All the students sat up straight and waited for the test to begin. The teacher began to give the test papers to all the students. After he finished handing out the test papers, he asked them to begin.The students were very surprised to see that there was not a question but a black dot（圆点）in the center of the paper. The teacher noticed the students' surprise and said, "I want you to write about what you see there." At the end of the class, the teacher took all the students' answer sheets and read the answers. All of them described theblack dot. After reading all the answers, the teacher said, "Here everyone only paid attention to the black dot, but no one wrote about the white paper." The whole class listened silently, because they were afraid to fail in the exam. Then the teacher said, "Don't worry about your marks for this test. I just want you to think about our life. The white paper is like our whole life and the black dot in the center of the paper represents （代表）problems in our daily life".Our life is a gift given to us by God, with love and care. However, we just pay attention to the problems like illness and poverty, and never see happy things in our life. So we should try to solve our problems and enjoy each moment life gives us. ( )1. What was in the center of the paper?A. a white dotB. a black dotC. a questionD. a gift( )2. Which of the following is wrong about the test?A. There was a black dot in the center of the papers.B.

What did the teacher mainly want to tell his students?A. Our life is a gift given to us by God.B. The black dot doesn't mean any problem in our life.C. Don't worry about the marks for the test.D. We should solve our problems and enjoy each moment in life.( )4. What's the Chinese meaning of the underlined word "poverty" in the last paragraph?A. 污染B. 富有C. 贫穷D. 保险( )5. Which is the right order of the story?①The teacher read all the answers.②The teacher asked his students not to worry about their marks.③The teacher wanted his students to think about life.④The teacher began to hand out the test papers.A.④①②③B.①②③④C. ④①③②D.③②①④BWhen it comes to helping developing countries，we often think about offering money in order that they can build schools and hospitals，buy food and medicine，or find clean water supplies. These seem to be the most important basic needs in their lives. However，it's far from enough. We have to come up with better ideas.A man called Nicholas Negroponte invented a cheap laptop computer，which he decided to invent after he visited a school in Cambodia. The laptop which Mr. Negroponte has designed is not the same as the normal one that you can buy in the shops. One differenceis that it will be covered in rubber so that it is strong and won't be damaged easily .As an electricity supply can be a problem in developing countries，the computer also has a special handle in order that children can wind the computer up to give it extra power when needed.This special laptop computer will cost less than 100 US dollars and Mr.Negroponte wants to produce as many as 15 million laptop computers in the first year .The idea is that these computers will help the children's education as they will be able to access the Internet .These computers might not benefit the people in developing countries immediately，but by improving children's education they should help people to find their own solutions to their problems in the long term.Another idea to help children in developing countries is to recycle old mobile phones so that they can be used again. In the UK. and probably in many other countries too，millions of mobile phones are thrown away every year. The waste crested by throwing away thee old phones is very bad for the environment，so it seems to be an excellent idea to achieve two important goals at the same time，We will reduce the waste we produce and help others .In other words ,we will be able to" kill two birds with one ”and that is always a good thing.根据短文内容，选择最佳选项。
