I was now in my twenty third year of residence in this island and was accustomed to the place and to the manner of living. If it had not been the savages（野人）who had come to the place to disturb me, I could have been content to spent the rest of my time there, even to the last moment, till I had laid me down and died, like the old goat in the cave.

I had also arrived to some little recreations and amusements, which made the time pass more pleasantly with me a great deal than it did before．

At first, I had taught my Poll to speak. And he did it so familiarly and talked so clearly and plain that it was very pleasant to me. And he lived with me no less than twenty six years. How long he might live afterwards, I don’t know; though I know they have an idea in Brazil that they live a hundred years. Perhaps poor Poll may be alive there still, calling Poor Robin Crusoe to this day. I wish no other English man had the bad luck to go there and hear him. But if he did, he would certainly believe it was the devil（魔鬼）.

My dog was a very pleasant and loving companion to me, for no less than sixteen years of my time, and then died of mere old age.

As for my cats, they multiplied to that degree that I had to shoot several of them at first to keep them from eating up all I had.

Besides these, I had two more parrots which talked pretty well and would all call Robin Crusoe, but none like my first. Nor indeed did I take the pains with any of them that I had done with him.

I had also several sea-fowls, whose names I don’t know, that I caught upon the shore and cut their wings. And the little stakes which I had planted before my castle wall being now grown up to a good thick bush, these fowls all lived among these low trees and bred there, which was very agreeable to me; so that as I said above, I began to be well content with the life I led if not worried about the threat from the savages.

1.What does the passage mainly talk about?

A. Robin Crusoe treated animals kindly.

B. Robin Crusoe led a hard life on the island.

C. The animals raised by Robin Crusoe brought him much pleasure.

D. The savages always spoiled Robin Crusoe’s happy life.

2.How many parrots did Robin Crusoe mention in this passage?

A. 2                B. 3                C. 4                D. 5

3.According to the passage, which of the following statements is true?

A. Robin’s dog may be still alive on the island.

B. Robin Crusoe lived in harmony with savages.

C. Robin Crusoe met an English man while on the island.

D. Parrots raised by Robin could talk very well.

4.What is the “sea-fowl” mentioned in the last paragraph?

A. A bird living on the coast.

B. A fish living in the sea.

C. A creature without a name

D. An animal feeding on tree leaves.

When the residents of Buenos Aires want to change the pesos they do not trust into the dollars they do, they go to an office that acts as a front for thriving illegal exchange market.

As the couriers carry their bundles of pesos around Buenos Aires, they pass grand buildings like the Teatro Colon, an opera house that opened in 1908, and the Retiro railway station, completed in 1915. In the 43 years leading up to 1914, GDP had grown at an annual rate of 6%, the fastest recorded in the world. In 1914 half of Buenos Aires’s population was foreign-born. Its income per head was 92% of the average of 16 rich economies.

It never got better than this. Its income per head is now 43% of those same 16 rich economies; it trails Chile and Uruguay in its own backyard.

The country’s dramatic decline has long puzzled economists. “If a guy has been hit 700,000 shots it’s hard to work out which one of them killed him,” says Rafael di Tella. But three deep-lying explanations help to throw light on the country’s decline. Firstly, Argentina may have been rich 100 years ago but it was not modern. The second theory stresses the role of trade policy. Thirdly, when it needed to change, Argentina lacked the institutions to create successful policies.

Argentina was rich in 1914 because of commodities; its industrial base was only weakly developed. The landowners who made Argentina rich were not so bothered about educating it: cheap labor was what counted.

Without a good education system, Argentina struggled to create competitive industries. It had benefited from technology in its Belle Epoque period, but Argentina mainly consumed technology from abroad rather than inventing its own.

Argentina had become rich by making a triple bet on agriculture, open market and Britain, its biggest trading partner. If that bet turned sour, it would require a severe adjustment. The First World War delivered the initial blow to trade. Next came the Depression, which crushed the open trading system on which Argentina depended. Dependence on Britain, another country in decline, backfired( 失 败 ) as Argentina’s favored export market signed preferential deals with Commonwealth countries.

After the Second World War, when the rich world began its slow return to free trade with the negotiation of the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade in 1947, Argentina had become a more closed economy. An institution to control foreign trade was created in 1946; the share of trade as a percentage of GDP continued to fall. High food prices meant big profits for farmers but empty stomachs for ordinary Argentines. Open borders increased farmers’ taking but sharpened competition from abroad for domestic industry. Heavy export taxes on crops allow the state to top up its decreasing foreign-exchange reserves; limits on wheat exports create surpluses(过剩) that drive down local prices. But they also dissuade farmers from planting more land, enabling other countries to steal market shares.

1.Grand buildings are mentioned in the second paragraph to show ________.

A.Argentines were talented B.Argentina was once a rich country

C.Argentines miss the past of Argentina D.Argentina has a suitable infrastructure

2.Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?

A.Argentina is richer than Uruguay.

B.Argentina was once attractive to immigrants.

C.Britain is playing a leading role in the development of Argentina.

D.Argentina is not serious about its agriculture and open markets.

3.The underlined sentence in the fourth paragraph implies that ________.

A.the decline of Argentina welcomes an analysis from authorities

B.it is hard to explain the reasons for Argentina’s decline

C.it takes time to explain the reasons for Argentina’s decline

D.Argentina has declined for many reasons

4.What is the root of the problem of Argentina’s trade policy?

A.Argentina depends heavily on foreign technology.

B.Many world events caused Argentina to break down.

C.Argentina failed in adjusting itself appropriately.

D.The conflicts between classes needed to be solved.

Every evening, 15-year-old Rashida returns home from school, changes out of her uniform, and rushes to a neighboring farm to help her mother harvest vegetables. Her father is disabled, so the modest profit the two of them earn must cover food, clothing and other necessities for all seven children and their parents. Despite having precious little time to study, Rashida is one of the top students at her junior secondary school. But with so much responsibility on her small shoulders, she admits that it is sometimes hard for her to imagine a more promising future.

Last year, Rashida was invited to join 155 other girls at Camfed Ghana’s first Girls’ Career Camp, a program designed to inspire girls growing up in the country’s Northern Region to dream big, and to support them to pursue those dreams. “We organized this camp because we wanted to let girls know that even if they are struggling with poverty, their lives will not be defined by limitations,” says Dolores Dickson, Camfed Ghana’s Executive Director.

Over the course of five days, the camp led the junior and secondary school students through a range of experiences and career opportunities that were entirely new to them. Dr. Agnes Apusiga, a lecturer from the University of Development Studies, ran the workshop on goal-setting and career choices, describing the universities and training colleges in Ghana that could help them achieve their dreams. Participants then visited the University for Development Studies, where they toured the medical school and science labs. Another highlight was a workshop at the computer lab at Tamale Secondary School. Many of the girls had studied information technology from a book but had never before seen a computer.

“When the girls arrived at camp, they were not ambitious, because they didn’t have any idea what the world held for them,” says Eugenia Ayagiba, Project Officer with Camfed Ghana. “Many had scarcely traveled beyond their own villages.”

“I think the most important thing that happened at the camp is that we opened a window of hope for a group of girls coming from backgrounds of poverty,” says Eugenia. For Rashida, who has been laughed at in the past by her schoolmates because of her father’s disability, the experience was important. “She told one of the camp mentors(辅导员) that when she is at school, she often feels like a misfit, and she prefers to keep to herself,” says Eugenia. “But at the camp, it was different. She made friends with girls who have similar struggles. She took part in every single activity, every single game. On the last day, she said to her mentor, “The camp has challenged me to study hard. Now I see that there is light at the end of the tunnel.”

1.How many members are there in Rashida’s family?

A．Seven              B．Eight          C．Nine           D．Ten

2.According to the passage, Camfed Ghana’s first Girls’ Career Camp is________．

A．a program to help poor girls to have ambition

B．a program to help poor girl students to get university education

C．a program to help poor girls to study hard

D．a program to help the poor families

3.Why did the camp lead the students to visit universities and training colleges?

A．To show they are better than their schools

B．To encourage them to get good education．

C．To show them what they are like

D．To get them to touch the advanced equipment there

4.What can we infer from the passage?

A．Rashida has become friends with her mentors

B．Rashida’s mentors has encouraged her a lot．

C．Rashida was sad because of her father’s disability．

D．Rashida has had her new dream since the camp
