Boiling water over a little fire? Life is like that in many parts of Malawi, a small country in Africa.In 2001, William Kankwamba, a 14-year-old boy, had a simple wish a light in his room. At that time, his family was so poor that he had to leave school. But he loved reading and wanted a light in his room so that he could read when it was dark. One day, he borrowed an American textbook called Using Energy from a local library. He saw a picture of a windmill(风车) in it and decided to build one. People in his village thought that he was crazy when he asked for things to make it. “I was really sad when people laughed at me and took me for a fool.” William said, “Even my parents thought it was too difficult for a little boy to do that.” But William didnt give up. After thousands of tries of almost four years, he succeeded in the end! People all came to see the windmill he made from old cars and broken bikes.William has built three windmills in his 60-person village. They make enough electricity for lights, radios and a public TV, and helped pump (抽水) clean water for both farms and family use. Now William wants to build more windmills across Malawi. “A windmill means more than just power, it means freedom.”Money to help with this project has come from all over the world, including China. Many children have been encouraged to work on science. 34. How many windmills has William built for his village? A. Three. B. Five. C. Fourteen. D. Sixty.35.

We can infer from the passage_. A. the windmills are useful for people B. William is a crazy but brave boy C. money can help William build more windmills D. we can get success if we make minds on something CThere are about 80,000,000 mines (煤矿) under the ground in more than 60 countries. It is difficult and dangerous to clear these mines. About 50 people including many children were killed or hurt each day. In 2003, APOPO, a Dutch research company that trains the animals, came up with the idea of using rats to search for the mines.The animal trainers found that a kind of rats from Africa were clever and had a sharp sense of smell. The rats were about 75 cm long and weighed about 1.35 kg, light enough to run across a minefield without setting off the mines.In January 2004, the APOPO started this project. First, the trainers let the 4weekold baby rats get familiar with humans. A few weeks later, the rats were no longer afraid of people and the things around them. Then they were trained to connect a click sound with food. After the rats had learned that, the trainers then taught them to tell the difference between the smell of mines and other smells. When the rats could do it, the click was sounded and they were given a bit of banana. The method was called clicker training. “The training isnt easy，” said trainer Abdullah Mchomvu. “You have to be patient. Sometimes I get angry, but then again, I tell myself these are animals.”After nine months training, the rats were taken to a minefield. They ran across the minefield, stopped, sat and scratched the ground to tell the de-miners that they smelt out a mine. Then the mine was cleared. It had taken two de-miners a day to clear a 200 minefield, but with the help of two rats they could finish it in two hours.The rats and the de-miners saved thousands of lives, “The rats did this job much better than we expected. So far they have helped to make almost 2,000,000 of land safe. They are heroes，” said Bart Weeqens, the head of the APOPO. 38. The APOPO trained the rats to find _.A. children B. animalsC. mines D. food39. The correct way of clicker training is _. Trainers get familiar with baby rats. Trainers give rats bananas. Trainers train rats to tell the different smells. Trainers train rats to connect a click sound with food. A. B. C. D. 40. After training, two rats can help two de-miners clear a 200 minefield in _.A. two hours B. one dayC. four weeks D. nine months41. From the passage, we can know that _.A. each day 200 people were killed or hurt by minesB. the APOPO started to train the rats in February 2004C. the trainers gave the rats food after they smelt out a mineD. only the rats saved thousands of livesDAlthough people everywhere seem to enjoy drinking coffee, they dont all have the same coffee culture. In Europe, for example, coffee shops are common places for people to meet friends and to talk while they drink coffee. On the other hand, places like this were not as common in North America in the past. Instead, people in North America liked to drink coffee in their homes with friends. The coffee culture in the USA changed when Starbucks (星巴克)coffee shops spread across the country.The first Starbucks coffee shop opened in 1971 in downtown Seattle, Washington, in the USA. It was a small coffee shop that cooked its own coffee beans. The coffee shops business did well, and by 1981 there were three Starbucks stores in Seattle.Things really began to change for the company in 1981.That year, Howard Schultz met the three men who ran Starbucks. Schultz worked in New York for a company that made kitchen equipment. He noticed that Starbucks ordered a large number of special coffee makers, which caused his great interest. Schultz went to Seattle to see what Starbucks did. In 1982, the original Starbucks owners hired Schultz as the companys head of marketing（市场营销）.In 1983, Schultz traveled to Italy. The special environment of the espresso(浓咖啡 ) bars there caught his eyes. Back in the USA, Schultz created an environment for Starbucks coffee shops that was comfortable and casual, and customers everywhere seemed to like it. Starbucks began opening more stores across the USA. Then the company opened coffee shops in other countries as well. Today, there are more than 16,000 Starbucks coffee shops all over the world.However, that does not mean Starbucks has not had problems. In fact, many Starbucks stores have closed over the past few years. On the one hand, this is because there were too many coffee shops competing for business in one small area. On the other hand, stores in some countries closed because the coffee culture there did not match with the “feel the same everywhere” environment offered by Starbucks.42. The underlined word “ran” in Paragraph 3 probably means “ ”.A. closed B. managed C. left D. sold43. According to the passage, which is the right order for the following sentences? a. This man helped to make Starbucks a huge coffee company.b. He went to Seattle to learn about the company and later worked for it.c. Howard Schultz noticed Starbucks ordered lots of special coffee makers.d. Starbucks began as a small coffee company in Seattle in the USA.A. a-d-c-b B. a-d-b-c C. d-c-b-a D. d-c-a-b44. Why did so many Starbucks close in small areas? A. The coffee in these places was too expensive. B. The style of the coffee stores seems the same. C. People like to drink coffee at home with friends. D.There were too many coffee shops in one place.45.
