rate is the speed at which a startup business consumes money. my rate would be $ 50,000 a month when my new media company started. so, i began looking around for individuals who would be my first investors. “angel money” it was called. but when i reviewed my list of acquaintances to find those who might be able to help, i found the number got small.with no other choices, i began meeting with the venture-capital companies. but i was warned they took a huge share of your company for the money they put in. and if you struggled, they could drop you cold.as i was searching for “angel money”, i started to build a team who trusted me even though i didnt have money for paychecks yet.bill becker was an expert in computer programming and image processing at a very famous media lab at m. i.t. with his arrival, my company suddenly had a major technology “guy” in-house.katherine henderson, a filmmaker and a former real-estate dealer, joined us as our director of market research. steve white came on as operating officer. he had worked for the developer of a home-finance software, quicken. we grabbed him.we had some really good people, but we still didnt have enough money. one night, my neighbor, louise johnson, came for a visit. she and i were only nodding acquaintances, but her boys and ours were constant companions. she ran a very good business at the time.louise was brilliant and missed nothing. she had been watching my progress closely. she knew i was dying for money and i had prospects but could offer no guarantees of success.she told me that her attorney had talked to mine and the terms had been agreed upon. she handed me an envelope. inside was a check for $ 500,000.i almost fell down. i heard her voice as if from heaven.“i have confidence in your plan,” she said. “you 11 do well. youre going to work hard for it, but it s satisfying when you build your own company.”who would have thought id find an angel so close to home? there were no words sufficient for the moment. we just said good night. she left and i just stood there, completely humbled and completely committed.41. for a newly-established business, bum rate refers to_.a. the salary it pays to its staff b. the interest it pays to the bankc. the way in which it raises capital d. the speed at which it spends money42. by angel money, the author refers to_.a. the money borrowed from banks b. the

because_.a. she wanted to join his company b. she knew he would build a teamc. she knew his plan would succeed d. she wanted to help promote his salesbthe economic growth that many nations in asia and increasingly africa have experienced over the past couple of decades has transformed hundreds of millions of lives almost entirely for the better. but theres a byproduct to that growth, one thats evident or sometimes less than evident in the smoggy, smelly skies above cities like beijing, new delhi and jakarta. thanks to new cars and power plants, air pollution is bad and getting worse in much of the world, and its taking a major toll (伤亡人数，代价) on global health.how big? according to a new analysis published in the lancet, more than 3.2 million people suffered deaths from air pollution in 2010, the largest number on record. thats up from 800,000 in 2000. and its a regional problem: 65% of those deaths occurred in asia, where the air is choked by diesel soot (内燃发动机烟雾) from cars and trucks, as well as the song from power plants and the dust from endless urban construction. in east asia and china, 1.2 million people died, as well as another 712,000 in south asia, including india. for the first time ever, air pollution is on the worlds top 10 list of killers, and its moving up the ranks faster than any other factor.so how can air pollution be so damaging? it is the very finest soot so small that it roots deep within the lungs and from the enters the bloodstream that contributes to most of the public health toll of air pollution including death. diesel soot, which can also cause cancer, is a major problem because it is concentrated in cities along transportation zones affecting overpopulated areas. it is thought to contribute to half the deaths from air pollution in urban centers. fro example, 1 in 6 people in the u.s. live near a diesel pollution hot spot like a rail yard, port terminal or freeway.we also know that air pollution may be linked to other non deadly diseases. fortunately in the u.s. and other developed nations, urban air is for the most part cleaner than it was 30 or 40 years ago, thanks to regulations and new technologies like the catalytic converters (催化式排气净化器) that reduce automobile emissions. governments are also pushing to make air cleaner see the white houses move last week to further tighten soot standards. its not perfect, but weve had much more success dealing with air pollution than climate change. will developing nations like india eventually catch up? hopefully though the problem may get worse before it gets better. the good news is that it doesnt take a major technological advance to improve urban air. switching from diesel fuel to unleaded (无铅燃油) helps, as do newer and cleaner cars which are less likely to send out pollutants. power plants even ones that burn mineral fuels like coal can be fitted with pollution control equipment that, at a price, will greatly reduce smog and other pollutants.but the best solutions may involve urban design. in the guardian, john vidal notes that delhi now has 200 cars per 1,000 people, far more than much richer asian cities like hong kong and singapore. developing cities will almost certainly see an increase in care ownership as residents become wealthier and that doesnt have to mean deadly air pollution. higher incomes should also lead to tougher environmental regulations, witch is exactly what happened in the west. we can only hope it happens before the death toll from bad air gets even higher. 46what tends to give rise to the highest death toll according to the passage?athe lack of tight environmental protection standards.bthe increasing numbers of the diesel cars and trucks.cthe frighteningly high death rate from deadly cancer.dthe worlds serious air pollution such as soot and dust.47the “byproduct” (paragraph 1) most probably refers to .aconsequencebsolutioncreformddesign48the basic reason why so many people die from air pollution is that .athe diesel soot is too small to be seenbthe diesel soot is much too poisonous to breathecthe diesel soot roots in lungs and gets into blooddthe diesel soot can also contribute to deadly cancer49according to the passage, the writer actually wants to convince the readers that .athe global economic growth is mainly to blame for air pollution and climate changebthe developing countries are repeating the same mistakes as the developed ones madecthe ecological situation and air pollution in india are becoming worse and worsedthe unbeatable air is increasingly becoming a major killer throughout the world 50by describing urban design as “the best solution” in the last paragraph, the writer means that .athe making of tougher environmental regulations alone is of little usebmore sever regulations should be made to handle air pollutioncthe urban construction in western developed countries is the best choicedthe pace of development has to be slowed down to reduce air pollutioncmcdonalds is the world single biggest food provider with annual sales of around $12.4bn. and the companys symbol ronald mcdonald is now （or so the company claims） the words most recognized person after santa claus.the first mcdonalds restaurant was opened in san bernardino, california, in 1948 by brothers mac and richard “dick” mcdonald. mac ran the restaurant side; dick was the marketing genius. he had already invented the drive-in laundry and had been the first person to use neon lights in advertising. now he spotted the gap in the post-war, baby-boom market for cheap, family-orientated restaurants with simple menus, standardized food and efficient service.after a slow start, business began to boom. by 1954, the brothers were joined by another entrepreneur, a kitchen equipment salesman called ray a kroc who owned the franchise to the multimixer, milk shake maker used throughout the mcdonalds chain. a year later, kroc had bought the mcdonald brothers chain of 25 franchises for the equivalent of around $70m（44m）. dick remained with the company until the seventies, when he and kroc fell out over krocs claim that the chain was his creation.today, an almost stalinist cult of personality surrounds kroc （who died in 1984） at mcdonalds, while the brothers who gave the company its name have all but been written out of its history. but though kroc did not found mcdonalds, he was certainly responsible for the empire-building philosophy which led to its world domination. he ushered in such essential contributions to international cuisine as the big mac （1968） and the egg mcmuffin （1973）; and helped launch ronald mcdonald “in any language he means fun” on to television in 1963.every three hours, a new mcdonalds franchise opens somewhere in the world; it can be found in more than 100 countries including india （vegetarian-only to avoid offending the non-beef-eating populace） and israel （non kosher, despite fierce local objection）. mcdonalds chain embodied the thrusting, can-do spirit of fifties america with staff mottoes such as “if youve got time to lean, youve go time to clean.”51. mcdonalds was founded _.a. by a kitchen equipment salesman . b. in california.c. by a marketing genius called dick mcdonald.d. after the first world war.52. what do we know about mcdonalds brothers?a. they were not mcdonalds founders although they named the restaurant.b. their business was still in depression after several years.c. they had clear job separation on business.d. they sold their restaurant to a salesman in 1954.53. which is not krocs contribution to mcdonalds ?a. he launched the restaurant image ronald mcdonald on to television.b. under his lead, international cuisine as the big mac and the egg mcmuffin earned worldwide famec. he spotted the gap in postwar market for cheap, family-orientated restaurants.d. he built mcdonalds empire with a philosophy which led to its world domination.54. which statement is true according to the passage?a. the single biggest food provider was however, not named after its founderb. the international cuisine as the big mac, a beef hamburger, is provided every chain restaurantin the world. c. employees in mcdonalds have no time to lean.d. the symbol ronald mcdonald, means fun in any language, is said to the word most recognized person after santa claus.di have only once been in trouble with the lawthe whole process of being arrested and taken to court was a rather unpleasant experience at the time, but it makes a good story now what makes it rather disturbing was the arbitrary （随意的） circumstances both of my arrest and my subsequent （随后的） fate in courtit happe
