bok，former president rudenstine，incoming president faust，members of the harvard corporation and the board of overseers，members of the faculty，parents，and especially，the graduates.i want to thank harvard for this honor. ive been waiting more than 30 years to say this：“dad，i always told you id come back and get my degree.” ill be changing my job next year，and it will be nice to finally have a college degree on my resume. i guess that makes me valedictorian of my own special class. i did the best of everyone who failed.i applaud the graduates for taking a much more direct route to your degrees. for my part，im just happy that the harvard crimson called me “harvards most successful dropout”but taking a serious look back，i do have one big regret，i left harvard with no real awareness of the awful inequities (不平等) in the world. i learned a lot here at harvard about new ideas in economics and politics. i got great exposure to the advances being made in the sciences. but humanitys greatest advances are not in its discoveriesbut in how those discoveries are applied to reduce inequity. whether through democracy，strong public education，quality health care, or broad economic opportunity，reducing inequity is the highest human achievement.i left campus knowing little about the millions of young people cheated out of educational opportunities here in this country. and i knew nothing about the millions of people living in unspeakable poverty and disease in developing countries. it took me decades to find out.you graduates came to harvard at a different time. you know more about the worlds inequities than the classes that came before. in your years here，i hope youve had a chance to think about how，in this age of accelerating technology，we can finally take on these inequities，and we can solve them.now，this task is openended. it can never be finished. but a conscious effort to answer this challenge can change the world. yes，inequity has been with us forever，but the new tools we have to cut through complexity have not been with us forever. they are new. they can help us make the most of our caringand thats why the future can be different from the past. the defining and ongoing innovations of this agebiotechnology，the personal computer，and the internet give us a chance weve never had before to end extreme poverty and end death from preventable disease.56who is the speaker of the article?aa harvard graduate. ba dropouts parent.ca fresh student in harvard. da principal.57what did the speaker learn while he was in the university 30 years

bharvards most successful dropoutcinequity in the usa dthe best student in harvard59which of the statements is true according to the passage?ahumanitys greatest advances are in its discoveries.bthere is no way to make any change about the inequity in the world.cthe graduates now know more about the world than those before.dthe new discoveries help us relieve inequity and poverty.60what can we learn about the speaker?ahe regrets not having got his degree earlier.bhe is concerned about the phenomena of inequity in the world.che believes there is no difference between the past and the future.dhe hopes the students in harvard can receive their degrees like him.bafrican leaders are meeting in chad to push the idea of planting a tree belt across africa from senegal in the west to djibouti in the east. the great green wall project is supported by the african union and is aimed at stopping the advancing sahara desert. the belt would be 15km (nine miles) wide and 7,775km (4,831 miles) long. the plan, worked out five years ago, has not started because of a lack of funding and some experts worry it would not be maintained properly.the bbcs tidiane sy in senegal says the plan has the full support of senegalese president abdoulaye wade, who is in chad with 10 other heads of state to discuss desertification（沙漠化）. his government has created the website serving the great green wall. but our reporter says many other leaders seem ready to forget the project.the trees should be drought-adapted species, preferably native to the areas planted, the great green wall website says, listing 37 suitable species. the plan says it hopes the trees will slow soil loss; slow wind speeds and help rain water leak into the ground, to stop the desert from growing. senegal says it has spent about $2m (1.35m) on it and communities are being encouraged to plant trees. the bbcs former chad journalist celeste hicks says older people in ndjamena - where the conference is being held - talk about how the capital city has become a dustbowl（干旱尘暴区）over the last 20 years as the sahara desert has stricken southwards. the country has made efforts to plant a green belt of trees around the capital, and tens of thousands of young trees are being grown in nurseries（苗圃）on the suburbs of the city, she says. but so far little has been done to transplant these trees to the northern desert areas to become part of the great green wall.61. according to the passage, we can know the present situation of the great green wall project is _.a. encouraging. b. unoptimistic. c. satisfying. d. hopeful.62. how will the great green wall resist the sahara desert?by protecting the soil. by stopping the desert from growing.by holding more water. by expanding its width and length gradually.by influencing the winda. b. c. d.63. the great green wall project _.a. was started five years ago. b. was in the charge of senegal.c. would concern 11 countries in all. d. is to keep people away from sahara desert.64. the trees in the green wall _.a. should be native to the involved countries.b. should be provided by nurseries of ndjamena.c. should be approved at the great green wall website.d. should be suitable to grow in drought environment.65. which of the following is wrong?a. few countries put the green project into practice.b. the green belt would be about 116,625 square kmc. the african union has spent about $2m on the project.d. the key to the project is finance and cooperation cafter moving to the united states，immigrant groups trying to fit in tend to choose highcalorie fatty foods in an attempt to appear more american，a new study finds. thats one reason why immigrants approach us levels of obesity within 15 years of moving to america.the researchers also did an experiment that measured whether or not the threat of appearing unamerican influenced respondents food choices. after being questioned about their ability to speak english,75 percent of asianamericans identified a typical american food as their favorite. only 25 percent of asianamericans who had not been asked if they spoke english did the same.when their american identity was called into question during a followup study，asianamerican participants also tended to choose typical american dishes，such as hamburgers and cheese sandwiches. in that experiment,55 asianamericans were asked to choose a meal from a local asian or american restaurant. some participants were told that only americans could participate in the study. those who chose the more typical american fare ended up consuming an extra 182 calories，including 12 grams of fat and 7 grams of saturated fat (饱和脂肪)“people who feel like they need to prove they belong to a culture will change their habits in an attempt to fit in，” said sauna cheryan，an author of the study and assistant professor of psychology at university of washington.“if immigrants and their children choose unhealthy american foods over healthier traditional foods across their lives，this process of fitting in could lead to poorer health.” cheryan added. social pressures，the study concluded，are at the heart of the problem.“in american society today，being american is associated with being white americans，who dont fit this image even if they were born here and speak english，feel that pressure to prove that theyre american，” said cheryan.66the author wants to show that _.amore and more asians enjoy highcalorie snacks.bimmigrants tend to eat highcalorie food to appear more american.cmost americans are at the risk of heart disease.dall the american people have a bad eating habit.67according to the survey，_.aasianamericans care less about their health.b25 percent of americans like junk food.cchoosing food is related to asianamericans situation.dimmigrants are forced to eat junk food.68the underlined word “fare” in paragraph 3 most probably m
