（B）

If you had billions of dollars, would you donate almost all of it to charity? Well, that’s what Mark Zuckerburg, CEO and founder of Facebook, just said he would do.

Zuckerburg and his wife Priscilla Chan promised to give 90% of their Facebook shares to society. Right now that is about ＄45 billion, and they plan to donate the money to things like science and education.

Many billionaires have done similar things. Bill Gates, creator of Microsoft, made The Giving Pledge,

an activity in which billionaires promise donate more than half of their wealth to charities. This started in 2010, and now 139 people from 15 countries joined it.

But giving back and helping others isn’t just for big billionaires. People like Zuckerberg, and Gates may have more to give, but people with less are doing it, too.

Especially around the holidays, people want to do their part and give back to people who are less lucky than them. Schools may have food collections where people bring a few food items, and together they can make a big donation to places like homeless people’s homes.

People also host special events like concerts of runs to be creative while raising money. Regular people donate whatever they can to US charities like the United Way and the American Red Cross.

Then these charities are able to help US communities in different ways like education, health and improving the lives of the poor. These individual(个人的) donations come together to make a big difference.

( )56. Mark Zuckerburg promised to donate______________________ .

A. 90% of their Facebook shares to society. B. half of his wealth to the charities. C. all of his money to charities D. 45 billion yuan to society.

（C）

Getting electricity has always been a problem for the 173 people living in Nuevo Saposoa, a small

B. hold special events to celebrate holidays D. collect food in homeless people’s home.

village in Peru, South America. However, things went from bad to worse in March 2015 after heavy rains destroyed the only power cable(电缆)in this area. The villagers were forced to use oil lamps, which are both expensive and dangerous because of the harmful gases they produce.

Luckily, researchers at the University of Technology (UT) in Lima, Peru heard about their problem and found a fantastic way. They made a lamp that can be powered by plants and soil, both of which can be easily found in the Amazonian rainforest where the village lies. The lamp takes energy from a plant growing in a wooden box and uses it to light up an LED light bulb.

While that may sound amazing and even impossible, the science behind the ideas is quite simple. As plants create their food (using the sun’s energy, water and chemicals from the soil, they also produce waste which they return to the soil. Tiny animals in the soil eat this waste and they produce electrons(电子) – the building blocks of electrical energy. The UT team put special sticks inside the soil to get the energy and keep it in the lamp’s batteries for later use. The researchers say a single charge can power a 50-watt Led light for two hours - enough time for local villagers to get their evening work done.

The university gave ten Plant Lamps to the villagers of Nuevo Saposoa in October 2015. So far, they have been a huge success! Elmer Ramirez, the UT professor who invented the lamp, believes the Plant Lamp could help improve the lives of many people, especially small rainforest communities, 42% of whom have no electricity.

( )61. What are the problems of oil lamps according to Paragraph 1? A. They are difficult to use and create pollution B. They are expensive to buy and easily damaged C. They are difficult to repair and produce little light D. They are expensive to use and can be bad for health ( )62. What is true about the Plant Lamp? A. It can be made by local people. B. It is much easier to use than oil lamps.

C. It can produce all the electricity the village need. D. The things it needs to make electricity are easy to find. ( )63. The electricity made by the Plant Lamp comes from______. A. tiny animals B. plant waste

C. the soil’s heat D. the sun’s energy

( )64. The Plant Lamp’s inventor believes it could be most helpful for ________.

A. rainforest communities C. poor people in cities ( )65. What is the purpose of the passage? A. To report on a new invention

B. cars D. farmers

B. To explain a new scientific theory D. To discuss the problems of poor villages

C. To describe how electricity is made B. 任务型阅读（每小题1分，共10分）

Have you ever regretted(后悔) what you did in the past? Anyone around you will have no difficulty in telling his regrets. As we get older, we look back and wish that we had made better choices. What can we do to avoid future regrets? Make better plans

If you begin to do something, you need to make a plan before doing it. The earlier, the better .You will know what comes first and what comes last. You’ll also know what you should do and what you shouldn’t do. If changes happen, you can have more time to deal with them. Live a more active life

You can go around more often. More outdoor activities can keep you relaxed. You also need to be kind. “Thank you” can bring a smile to someone’s face. Learn to say “sorry” and don’t be angry with others. Find the right friend

A friend may make your life and he or she can break your life as well. So you need to think twice when you choose a friend. Good friends will always better your ideas.

When you have problems, ask others for help. That little help may get you good results. Never fear failure

Everybody fails. Even the greatest person failed. We should not fear failure, because failure is not the end of the road. We must take failure as a chance to learn and improve ourselves.

Life is good. We don’t have to live in our past, but we do hope that we can plan better, life better, and work better when we have the chance to do so.

An old carpenter(木匠) was ready to retire. His boss was sorry to see the good worker go. He asked the carpenter if he could build just one more house. The carpenter said yes, but his mind was not on his work any more.

He used poor building materials and worked on the house carelessly. When the carpenter finished his work ,the boss handed the front-door key to him. \

What a surprise! What a shame! If he had only known he was building his own house, he would have done it all differently. Now he had to live in the home he had poorly built .So it is with us. Sometimes we build our lives carelessly. At important points we do not try our best. Then with a shame we look at the situation we have created. We find that we are now living in the house we have poorly built. But we don’t have a chance to make it all over again.

Think of yourself as the carpenter. Think about your life. Build it wisely. It is the only life you will ever build. Life is a do-it-yourself project.

Your life today is the result of your attitudes(态度) and choices you made in the past. Your life tomorrow will be the result of your attitudes and choices you make today.

76.What did the old carpenter’s boss ask him to do before he left? (in no more than five words) ___________________________________________________________________________ 77.Was the house for the carpenter or the boss himself?

___________________________________________________________________________ 78.How did the carpenter feel when he heard what the boss said?(in no more than five words) ___________________________________________________________________________ 79.Where did the carpenter have to live now in the passage?

___________________________________________________________________________ 80.What decides your life?
