Yet in Sydney next month,they will meet again by the pool,and for a short time the friends will race against each other in the 50-meter butterfly in the Australian championships at Homebush Bay.
Gould,now a 47-year-old mother of four,has announced she will be making a return to élite（顶级的）competition swim the one event,having set a qualifying time of 30.32 seconds in winning gold at last year’s United States Masters championships.Her comeback comes 32 years after she won three golds at the Munich Olympics.
Schipper,now a 17-year-old from Brisbane with a bright future of going to Athens for her first Olympics,yesterday recalled her time with Gould five years ago.
“I was at a national youth camp on the Gold Coast and Shane had come along to talk to us and watch us train,” Schipper explained.“It seemed as if we had long been good friends.I don’t know why.We just started talking and it went from there.”
“She had a lot to share with all of us at that camp.She told us stories about what it was like at big meets like the Olympics and what it’s like to be on an Australian team.It was really interesting.”
Next time,things will be more serious.“ I will still be swimming in the 50m butterfly at the nationals,so there is a chance that I could actually be competing against Shane Gould,” said Schipper,who burst onto the scene at last year’s national championships with second places in the 100 m and 200 m butterfly.

Microsoft founder Bill Gates said that he planned to give away almost all of his vast fortune,largely to the cause of global health,during the course of his lifetime.With an estimated（估计）worth of more than $40 billion,according to Forbes,the project will be no small feat （功绩）for Gates.Having already provided the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation with $24 billion to address global health issues,Gates said that eventually his entire fortune will be put towards the cause except “a few percent left for the kids”.
So what has made the richest man in the world to channel his resources so heavily into one interest?Gates believes that “the equality of opportunity” in which Americans take such pride needs to extend to other nations around the world.Improving the health of the populations,he says,has proven to be an essential（本质的，实质的）method in helping poor countries to be financially successful.“National borders allow inequalities,” said Gates: “We all need to take a more global view,rather than just saying my country is doing well.We have to step up these health issues,knowing how few resources are going into them.”
Gates said that both his parents set an example for him as a child.His father,William H.Gates,was the head of the local Planned Parenthood,and his mother,Mary,volunteered for the United Way.As he gathered his fortune,Gates knew he would eventually want to give back as well,but he didn’t expect to devote himself whole-heartedly to one project until he was about 60.However,Gates,47,began to question his ability to wait that long.“It seemed there was a real time urgency（紧急）,” Gates said.“I started to think,How many lives could I save before then?”
51.Bill Gates will give away his vast fortune to _____________.
A.improve the health of population in America alone
B.improve the health of population all over the world
C.avoid leaving his children too much money
D.spare the American government the burden of health care
解析：该题为细节判断题。根据文章第一段中“global health issues”（全球健康问题）可以判断出答案。
答案：B
52.Bill Gates believes that one important way of developing poor countries is _____________.
A.to set up more foundations for them
B.to aid them with natural resources
C.to put more effort into the health issues in them
D.to help them take a more global view
解析：根据文章第二段中Bill Gates的叙述：“Improving the health of the populations,he says,has proven to be an essential（本质的，实质的）method in helping poor countries to be financially successful.”我们可以判断出他对不富裕国家的健康问题尤为关注。
答案：C
53.It can be learned from the text that Bill Gates thinks _____________.
A.Americans should care about people in other countries
B.Americans should treat fellow citizens well
C.Americans should devote themselves to certain projects
D.Americans can be world-famous by giving away vast fortune
解析：推理判断题。根据“We all need to take a more global view,rather than just saying my country is doing well.”一句话可以作出推断。
答案：A
54.Bill Gates gave away his vast fortune earlier than he had expected because of _____________.
A.his weakening health condition

An old Indian story says that the game of chess（国际象棋）was invented by Sissa Ben,Prime Minister of King Shirham.As soon as the invention was finished he gave it to the king,who was glad and asked him what he would like to have in return.To the king’s surprise,what Sissa wanted seemed very little.“Your Majesty,”said the minister,kneeling in front of the king.“I want nothing but some wheat.Please put a grain of wheat on the first square of the chessboard（棋盘）,two on the second,four on the third,eight on the fourth…and so on,doubling the number for each following square,give me enough grains to cover the 64 squares of the chessboard.”
“You don’t ask for much,my honest servant.You might have asked for gold or money,” said the king and then ordered a bag of wheat brought to the palace.
But when the counting began,with one gain for the first square,two for the second,four for the third,and so on,the bag was emptied before the 20th square.More bags were brought,but the number of grain needed for the following squares increased so rapidly that the king soon realized that he was not able to keep his promise even with all the crops in the whole India!In fact,he would have needed 8 466 744 073 709 511 615grains,which would be as much as that they would produce in about 2 000 years!
Now the king found himself deep in debt to his minister.He had either to face the terrible trouble all his life or to cut off Sissa’s head,which,it is said,he finally chose.
56.This story tells us _____________ .
A.how cruel the king was
B.how clever the minister was
C.Sissa was a famous mathematician
D.how the game of chess came into being
解析：该题为推理判断题。通过阅读全文，我们知道那个大臣的要求看似简单，实质却使国王陷入困境，故可以判断他是何等的聪明。
答案：B
57.According to the story,the game of chess was invented by an _____________.
A.American Indian
B.ancient Indian official
C.Indian king
D.Indian officer
解析：该题为细节判断题。根据文章首句“an old Indian story says that the game of chess（国际象棋）was invented by Sissa Ben,Prime Minister of King Shirham.”即可以判断出答案。
答案：B
58.The king was glad to know that Sissa only wanted some wheat because _____________ .
A.wheat was not expensive
B.it didn’t seem much
C.Sissa was honest to him
D.both A and B
解析：该题为推理判断题。根据文章第一段中“To the king’s surprise,what Sissa wanted seemed very little.”一句，可以知道：令国王惊讶的是，Sissa想要的东西似乎很少。又根据常识可以判断麦子并非贵重之物。
答案：D
59.A bag of wheat was enough for _____________.
A.19 squares
B.one third of the squares
C.the first 19 squares
D.20 squares
解析：该题为细节题。根据第三段中“…the bag was emptied before the 20th square.”一句就可以判断出来。
答案：C
60.The following pictures show a part of the chessboard.Which one can correctly show the way in which Sissa had the grains of wheat put on it?
解析：该题为计算题，同时需要推理判断。根据文章第一段中大臣所讲的填充方法“…Please put a grain of wheat on the first square of the chessboard（棋盘）,two on the second,four on the third,eight on the fourth…and so on,doubling the number for each following square,give me enough grains to cover the 64 squares of the chessboard.”可以知道：后一个空格为前一个空格数量的2倍。

Dear Editor,
I’m a senior three student.I’m writing to tell you my opinion __________________________
_______________________________________________________________________________
参考答案：
Dear Editor,
I’m a senior three student.I’m writing to tell you my opinion on whether middle school students can go to school with mobile phones.I think they can do that.Because students can stay in touch with their friends and family wherever they are.Besides,the mobile phone is a way to have fun.
However,there are some problems with using mobile phones.The ring of phones can disturb teachers and students in the classroom.Another problem is that some students can spend too much time and money on phone calls and sending messages.
In conclusion,I suggest students not use phones in the classroom.Also,as it is expensive,the owner should take good care of it.
Yours sincerely,
Li Hua
