　　New Foods and the New World

In the last 500 years, nothing about people---not their clothes, ideas, or languages---has changed as much as what they eat. The original chocolate drink was made from the seeds of the cocoa tree by South American Indians. The Spanish introduced it to the rest of the world during the 1500’s. And although it was very expensive, it quickly became fashionable. In London shops where chocolate drinks were served became important meeting places. Some still exist today.

The potato is also from the New World. Around 1600, the Spanish brought it from Peru to Europe, where it soon was widely grown. Ireland became so dependent on it that thousands of Irish people starved when the crop failed during the "Potato Famine" of 1845-6, and thousands more were forced to emigrate to America.

There are many other foods that have traveled from South America to the Old World. But some others went in the opposite direction. Brazil is now the world’s largest grower of coffee, and coffee is an important crop in Colombia and other South American countries. But it is native to Ethiopia. It was first made into a drink by Arabs during the 1400’s.

According to an Arabic legend, coffee was discovered when a goatherd named Kaldi noticed that his goats were attracted to the red berries on a coffee bush. He tried one and experienced the "wide-awake" feeling that one-third of the world’s population now starts the day with.

Good Modern Newspaper

A good modern newspaper is an extraordinary piece of reading. It is remarkable first for what it contains: the range of news from local crime to international politics, from sport to business to fashion to science, and the range of comment and special features (特寫) as well, from editorial page to feature articles and interviews to criticism of books, art, theatre and music. A newspaper is even more remarkable for the way one reads it: never completely, never straight through, but always by jumping : from here to there, in and out, glancing at one piece, reading another article all the way through, reading just a few paragraphs of the next. A good modern newspaper offers a variety to attract many different readers, but far more than any one reader is interested in. What brings this variety together in one place is its topicality ( 時事性),its immediate relation to what is happening in your world and your locality now. But immediacy and the speed of production that goes with it mean also that much of what appears in a newspaper has no more than transient (短暫的') value. For all these reasons, no two people really read the same paper: what each person does is to put together out of the pages of that day's paper, his own selection and sequence, his own newspaper. For all these reasons, reading newspapers efficiently, which means getting what you want from them without missing things you need but without wasting time, demands skill and self-awareness as you modify and apply the techniques of reading.

Quality Education

A quality education is the ultimate liberator. It can free people from poverty, giving them the power to greatly improve their lives and take a productive place in society. It can also free communities and countries, allowing them to leap forward into periods of wealth and social unity that otherwise would not be possible.

For this reason, the international community has committed itself to getting all the world's children into primary school by 2015, a commitment known as Education for All.

Can education for all be achieved by 2015? The answer is definitely "yes", although it is a difficult task. If we now measure the goal in terms of children successfully completing a minimum of five years of primary school, instead of just enrolling for classes, which used to be the measuring stick for education, then the challenge becomes even more difficult. Only 32 countries were formerly believed to be at risk of not achieving education for all on the basis of enrollment rates. The number rises to 88 if completion rates are used as the criterion.

Still, the goal is achievable with the right policies and the right support from the international community. 59 of the 88 countries at risk can reach universal primary completion by 2015 if they bring the efficiency and quality of their education systems into line with standards observed in higher-performing systems. They also need significant increases in external financing and technical support. The 29 countries lagging farthest behind will not reach the goal without unprecedented rates of progress. But this is attainable with creative solution, including use of information technologies, flexible and targeted foreign aid, and fewer people living in poverty.

A key lesson of experience about what makes development effective is that a country's capacity to use aid well depends heavily on its policies, institutions and management. Where a country scores well on these criteria, foreign assistance can be highly effective.

41 In the first paragraph, the author suggests that a quality education can______

A. free countries from foreign rules. B. speed up social progress.

C. give people freedom.

D. liberate people from any exploitation.

答案：B 推理判斷題。定位於第一段It can also free communities and countries, allowing them to leap forward into(speed up) periods of wealth and social unity(=social progress) that otherwise would not be possible.可知素質教育有助於加快社會進步。故選B。

42 Ideally, the goal of the program of Education for All is to______ by 2015.

A. get all the world's children to complete primary school

B. enroll all the world's children into primary school

C. give quality education to people of 88 countries

D. support those committed to transforming their education systems

答案：B 細節辨認題。定位於第二段For this reason, the international community has committed itself to getting all the world's children into primary school by 2015, a commitment known as Education for All.意為“出於這一原因，國際社會決定致力於在2015年前讓全世界所有兒童都能上國小，此決定稱為“全民教育”。”選項B符合，故選B。選項A是説讓全世界所有兒童都完成國小教育，與原文內容不一致。

43_____ countries are now at risk of not achieving education for all on the basis of completion rates.

A.32 B.59 C.29 D.88

答案：D 細節辨認題。定位於第三段Only 32 countries were formerly believed to be at risk of not achieving education for all on the basis of enrollment rates. The number rises to 88 if completion rates are used as the criterion.意為“如果使用畢業率為標準，則這個數字怕是要漲到88個。”故選D。

44 According to the passage, which of the following is NOT mentioned as the right policy?

A. Raising the efficiency of education systems.

B. Improving the quality of education.

C. Using information technologies.

D. Building more primary schools.

答案：D 細節辨認題。句子59 of the 88 countries at risk can reach universal primary completion by 2015 if they bring the efficiency and quality of their education systems=raising the efficiency of education systems and improving the quality of education，“提高教育體系的效率和質量”，選項A和B在文中有提及;句子But this is attainable with creative solution, including use of information technologies, flexible and targeted foreign aid, and fewer people living in poverty.與選項C相同。綜上可知，選項D在文中沒有提及，故選D。

45 As can be gathered from the last paragraph, foreign aid______

A. may not be highly effective.

B. is provided only when some criteria are met.

C. alone makes development possible.

D. is most effective for those countries lagging farthest behind.

答案：A 推理判斷題。定位於最後一段A key lesson of experience about what makes development effective is that a country's capacity to use aid well depends heavily on its policies, institutions and management. Where a country scores well on these criteria, foreign assistance can be highly effective.意為“有關“什麼促使教育有效發展”的一個關鍵的經驗教訓是：一個國家利用援助的能力主要取決於其政策、制度和管理。基於這些標準，在一個國家表現好的領域，國際社會的援助就可能非常有效。”可排除B、C、D，故選A。
