31、lidayDTechnology to Help Developing CountriesWhen we think about giving help to developing countries, we often think about giving money so that these countries can build schools and hospitals, buy food and medicine, or find clean water supplies. These seem to be the most important basic needs of the
32、 people we are trying to help. However, itsfar from enough. Ladies and gentlemen, weve got to come up with some better ideas to help them.I was very surprised, then, when I read about a plan to make cheap laptop computersfor children in developing countries. A man called Nicholas Negroponte invented
33、 a cheaplaptop computer, which can run without electricity. He decided to invent this computer after he visited a school in Cambodia.The laptop which Mr.Negroponte has designed is a little different from the normal laptop computers you can buy in the shops. One difference is that it will be covered
34、in rubber（橡胶）so that it is very strong and wont be damagedeasily. As an electricity supplycan be a problem in developing countries,the computer also has a special handle so that children can wind the computer up to give it extra power when needed.These special laptop computers will cost less than 10
35、0 US dollars and Mr. Negroponte wants to build as many as 15 million machines in the first year of production. The idea is that these computers will help the childrens education as they will be able to access the Internet. These computers might not help the people in developing countries immediately
36、, but by improving childrens 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, mil
37、lions of mobile phones are thrown away every year. The waste created by throwing away these old phones is very bad for the environment, so it seems to be an excellent idea to recycle them. In this way we will be able to achieve two important goals at the same time. We will reduce the waste we produc
38、e and help others. In other words, we will be able to “kill two birds with one stone”, and that is always a good thing.53. The expression“be damaged” in Paragraph 3 probably means“_”.A. be fixed B. be hurtC. be usedD. be broken54. From the passage we can learn thatthe cheap laptop_.A. can help the d
39、eveloping countries with theelectricity supplyB. can be moved and carried with the help of a special handle C. can help the childrens educationby surfing the Internet D. will be covered with rubber so that it can save money55. The writer may agreethat in developing countries these ideas can_.A. help
40、 the children reduce waste and earn money B. be good for the environment and the educationC. help the children solve the problems at onceD. provide the basic needsforthe people there七、阅读短文，根据短文内容，从短文后的五个选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。每个选项只能用一次。（共10分，每小题2分）Once upon a time there were three roommates who lived on t
41、he sixtieth floor of a tall building. One evening they returned home from hard work, they were very tired. 56 . So they tried to think of how to get to their apartment, finally one of them said,“57 , but to climb the stairs all the way up, I suggest that after twenty floors, one of us tellsa funny s

43、nny story. 58 .And then the second boytold even a better joke, again they laughed even harder, and continued up till they got to their apartment door. The first two said to the third one, “59 . So we can go straight to bed.” “I will tell you one of the saddest things that could have ever happened to
44、 us.” he said.“And what would that be?” They both asked.“60 .” he replied.八、阅读短文，根据短文内容回答问题。（共10分，每小题2分）You might hear about all the different clubs at your school and wonder where did they all come from?
