A
Two billion children in the developing world can’t receive good education—the key to human development.However，technology offers an answer which allows the poor in developing countries to learn.It is a tool which holds the ability to change the lives of the poor，as it provides a means of learning and communicating.
Educational programs must break away from old systems.New companies such as One Laptop(笔记本电脑) Per Child (OLPC)，an organization founded by MIT Professor Nicholas Negroponte have been active in solving the world’s education problem.
The Internet has changed the world，allowing educational services to help with the global fight against poverty.Khan Academy is one such service.Like OLPC，it is an organization founded by Harvard Business School graduate Salman Khan with the task of “providing a world-class education to anyone，anywhere.”The education offered includes a large number of math-related topics.
The GMAT Pill Review is another company that trains MBA candidates(应考人) worldwide to prepare for the GMAT exam on both the Quant and Verbal section.Founded by Stanford graduate Zeke Lee，the company offers services which are priced at about 75% less than other similar programs.It allows students from developing countries who might not be able to afford similar courses to have access to these services.
Whether paid or free these services provide educational opportunities to those who would never have had the chance in the past.As a result of the technology revolution(革新)，business schools may see more students from different corners of the world.Because of the Internet，people in developing nations have access to better and more affordable educational opportunities.More and more people will try to improve their lives through educational opportunities outside of their homeland—an idea usually uncommon in developing countries.

A．improve people’s reading ability
B．solve the problems facing the whole world
C．help the poor to reduce poverty
D．cause poverty in developing countries

3．Which of the following about GMAT Pill Review is TRUE?
A．It only accepts students from developing countries.
B．It was started by Professor Nicholas Negroponte.
C．It charges students about 25 percent of other similar programs.
D．The education it offers includes a lot of math-related topics.
4．In the past，people in developing countries ________.
A．had no educational opportunities in their homeland
B．seldom thought of receiving foreign education to change themselves
C．always believed education was of great importance
D．wouldn’t leave their homeland to reduce poverty
B
China，endowed with rich agricultural resources，has a long history of farming.The traditional farming practice with intensive(精细的) cultivation(耕作) as its essence is one of the most important achievements of the human civilization.The development of agriculture and rural areas in China is faced with many problems.The Chinese government has made a number of important policies and measures to cause a faster growth of farmers’ income and narrow the ever-enlarging income gap between rural and urban residents as soon as possible mainly through finishing a strategy of balanced social and economic development.We’ll give top priority in all work to solving problems facing agriculture，farmers and rural areas，focusing on the following seven aspects.
Firstly we’ll promote faster increase of farmers’ income.Secondly we’ll protect and increase the overall capacity of grain production.Thirdly we will continue to promote strategic restructuring of agriculture.Fourthly we’ll actively promote progress in agro-science and enhance research work of agricultural high-tech and key research programs，and increase its reserve level.Fifthly we’ll further open agriculture to the outside world and actively develop agricultural trade with other countries.Sixthly we’ll speed up the transfer of rural labors and develop rural secondary and tertiary(第三的) industries.Seventhly we’ll continue to deepen rural reforms.
Priorities(优先权) will be placed on reform of rural land system，tax and administrative charges，grain distribution system and rural financial system.However，agricultural development has difficult tasks and a long way to go.The road ahead is by no means smooth.Nevertheless，China’s agriculture will give full play to its advantages，overcome any difficulties，enter a new stage of development and match towards a brighter new future in the new century!

There has been an increasing amount of interest in celebrating World Oceans Day among zoos，aquariums，museums and schools.We also had a big increase in events on the ground，about 600 events in total (up from 400 in 2011)．
These events were held in 55 countries and 42 US states,180 of which were held in zoos，aquariums，or other science education centers.Many of the 600 events around the world，from Reef Check in Bali to Marino Ballena National Park in Costa Rica，involved young people taking direct action by cleaning beaches.In California，volunteers called on 8,000 young people to do a huge beach clean.In Los Angeles，more than 5,000 kids，teachers and volunteers formed a huge kid-designed shark and words “Defend the Sea”．In Malaysia，about 25 companies and 50 students from primary schools took part in activities such as beach clean-ups，an art contest，and a play with science experiments.In Bangladesh，“run for the Ocean” was a world-class running event on Cox’s Bazar，one of the most beautiful running courses in Bangladesh.
Each event focused on young people and gave them real suggestions for how they could take action to protect the ocean.In addition to direct action events，many organizations held events in universities，government facilities and businesses.Anywhere people and the ocean came together，World Oceans Day was celebrated.

Military training(军训) has long been considered a tradition that freshmen must go through before they start their college life.Early in February，the Ministry of Education announced a rule that colleges and universities should carry out at least 14 days’ military training for those freshmen.While some people question the necessity of such training，many students regard the military training as a tradition of college life that should be kept.
A report in “Beijing Evening News” questioned the advantages of the military training for the training did little to improve students’ physical fitness over only two weeks and it also showed that maybe learning some ways of dealing with the natural disaster would be of greater advantage.
Meng Yang from Guangxi University fainted(晕倒) during the training and she said that many students，especially girls，didn’t want to be trained under the hot sun.“For me，military training is physically challenging and it tests my body，”added the girl.However，according to Li Jian from Guangzhou University，“Faints often happen during the military training and the school has received a lot of complaints from both students and parents.But I still think the military training is a good chance for us students for we can exercise ourselves and become more positive about the new environment.And for our teachers，the student management work would be easier after it.”
According to the Ministry of Education，the purpose of the military training is to teach students to obey the rules and to fit in with hard situations.And by going through this hard journey，students could make friends faster and a feeling of belonging to the school could be developed.But in reality，the result is not satisfying(令人满意的) because such goals need a long time to develop and it’s impossible to expect the military training to make a difference in only 14 days.
64．According to the passage，the military training ________.
A．might be a habit for different colleges in the world
B．has been questioned the necessity of calling off
C．gets support by most of the students，parents and teachers
D．is a must for freshmen before they begin the college life
65．What can we know from the passage?
A．There is no advantage for students to go through the two weeks’ military training.
B．The report in “Beijing Evening News” showed 14 days’ training has little effect on students.
C．The military training can have an influence on study for college and university students.
D．The military training should be given more time to improve students’ grades.
66．Meng Yang’s attitude towards the military training is ________.
A．unwilling B．positive
C．uncertain D．puzzled
67．What did Li Jian think of the military training?
A．The military training made him feel quite uncomfortable.
B．He enjoyed the feeling when he was trained under the hot sun.
C．He thought it brought great help for both students and teachers.
D．The military training helped students have a feeling of belonging.
