niu gensheng, the founder of a chinese dairy business; and pan shiyi and zhang xin, who control the soho china real estate (房地产) empire.as with four earlier dinners held in the united states, mr. buffett and mr. gates said, no one at the beijing event was asked to donate money or to promise to engage in charity. “bill and i wont be calling anybody. what happens in china will depend on what the chinese people feel about a project of this sort,” said mr. buffett.china is widely reported to be second only to the united states in the number of dollar billionaires. mr. gates and mr. buffett said the nation was unique because its wealthy class had arisen almost wholly in the past 30 years, so the philanthropic practices established among european and american dynasties are new here, and open to change.the two said the dinner wasnt a long planned matter, but an offshoot (衍生事物) of a trip that mr. buffett had already scheduled to guangdong and hunan provinces, where byd company, a maker of clean-energy automobiles, has factories. mr. buffetts company, berkshire hathaway, holds a 10% stake (股金) in the company.but mr. gates suggested that their philanthropic trip wasnt yet over. “we may do an event in india,” he said.64. what is the text mainly about? a. a brief analysis of future philanthropy. b. the development of chinese philanthropy. c. an introduction on mr. buffett and mr. gates trip in china. d. a charity dinner held in beijing by mr. buffett and mr. gates.65. according to the first two paragraphs, mr. buffett really wanted to say that _. a. the dinner was quite a success b. the food in the dinner was very delicious c. chinese tycoons are similar to western ones d. it was pleasing to discuss with chinese tycoons66. we can learn from the text that _.学&科&网 a. china has the largest number of dollar billionaires in asia b. many people have promised to donate money at dinner c. beijing will be the last stop of their philanthropic trip d. the chinese news media published the complete guest list of the dinnerdno one wants to be testedwe would all like to get a driver s license without answering questions about rights of way or showing that we can parallel park a carmany future lawyers and doctors probably wish they could join their profession without taking an exambut tests and standards are a necessary fact of life. they protect us from unskilled drivers, harmful products and dishonest professionals. in schools too exams play a constructive rolethey tell public officials whether new school programs are making a difference and where new investments are likely to pay off. they tell teachers what their students have learned and have notthey tell parents how their children are doing compared with others of their agethey encourage students to make more effortit is important to recall that for most of this century, educators used intelligence tests to decide which children should get a high - quality educationthe point of iq testing was to find out how much children were capable of learning rather than to test what they had actually learnedbased on iq scores, millions of children were assigned to dumbed-down programs instead of solid courses in science, math, history, literature and foreign languagethis history reminds us that tests should be used to improve educationevery child should have access to a high-quality educationstudents should have full opportunity to learn what will be tested; otherwise their scores will merely reflect whether they come from an educated familyin the past few years, we have seen the enormous benefits that flow to disadvantaged students because of the information provided by state teststhose who fall behind are now getting extra instruction in after-school classes and summer programsin their efforts to improve student performance, states are increasing teachers salaries, testing new teachers and insisting on better teacher educationperformance in education means the mastery of both knowledge and skillsthis is why it is reasonable to test teachers to make sure they know their subject matter, as well as how to teach it to young childrenand this is why it is reasonable to assess whether students are ready to advance to the next grade or graduate from high school67. according to the passage, school exams enable _a. teachers to understand if their students have made effortsb. parents to compare their kids behavior across schoolsc. students to meet their teachers requirementsd. governments to make right policies 68. “dumbed - down programs” in paragraph 3 refer to the programs which .a. lead to high-quality education b. are less academically challengingc. are intended for intelligent students d. enable children to make steady progress69. which of the following does the author probably agree with?a. disadvantaged students can benefit from state testsb. tests should focus on what students have actually learnedc. intelligent tests decide if children should get a high - quality educationd. intelligent tests are helpful in separating excellent students from poor ones70. what is the purpose of the passage?a. to re-assess the value of iq testingb. to defend the role of testing in educationc. to explain what high-quality education meansd. to call for thorough and complete reform in education第二节（共5小题;
