三、阅读理解(共4题，共10分)

In 1975, a young programmer named Bill Gates dropped out of Harvard University to form a company called “Micro-soft” with his childhood friend Paul Allen. The company went on to start a personal computing craze and achieve great success. There are many interesting things about this famous Microsoft co-founder you may want to know.

Gates read the thick book World Book Encyclopedia at the age of eight, but he left perhaps his biggest impression as an 11-year-old in his class. Every year, Mr Dale Turner challenged his students to remember chapters 5–7 of The Book of Matthew, and treated the successful ones to dinner at the Space Needle Restaurant. When Gates took his turn, Mr Turner was stunned as the boy repeated the about 2,000-word text with zero mistakes. While 31 of his classmates finally got to have dinner at the Space Needle Restaurant, Gates was the only one to give a perfect performance.

As computer talents at Lakeside High School, Gates and Allen wrote a payroll (工资表) program for a company called Information Sciences Inc. Shortly afterward, they developed their “Traf-O-Data” computer to

simplify the process of measuring traffic flow. Although the Traf-O-Data computer generally worked, the young talents realized they knew far more about building that type of machine than how to sell it. Allen has since pointed to that experience as a valuable lesson about the importance of a business model.

Approached by IBM in 1980 to develop an operating system for its new personal computer, Gates referred the company to Gary Kildall of Digital Research Inc. However, Kildall was out flying his plane when the IBM representatives showed up, and his wife and business partner, Dorothy, hesitated at signing an agreement. Realizing that a chance was slipping away, Gates rented a similar operating system from another company and repackaged it as DOS for IBM. The development helped to make Microsoft become the big name in PC operating systems through MS-DOS and then Windows, and helped its president become a billionaire by age 31.

26.What is the second paragraph intended to show?

A. Hobbies of young Bill Gates.
B. Cleverness of young Bill Gates.
C. Colorful school life of Bill Gates.
D. Special personalities of Bill Gates.

27．What does the underlined word “stunned” in the second paragraph probably mean?

A. Touched.  B. Confused.  C. Surprised.  D. Relieved.

28．What can we know about Gates and Allen?

A. They were taught to do business at high school.
B. They were once employed by IBM as programmers.
C. They decided on their business model at high school.
D. They had close cooperation before starting Microsoft.

29．What laid the foundation for the later success of Microsoft?

A. Support of Digital Research Inc.
B. Gates' education before dropping out.
C. The development of MS-DOS for IBM.
D. The cooperation with its business partners.

四、七选五(共5题，共12.5分)

Many studies have been conducted to discover the benefits of volunteering. Volunteer work means carrying out a duty or a job without expecting payment or reward. The concept is very popular in advanced or rich countries. But in some countries, many people look at volunteering as a waste of time and effort.       . 

You are immediately seen as selfless and helpful when you volunteer to help out someone such as a friend, teacher or parent.        when you help clean the classroom or get involved in a cleanliness campaign at the school level or other community projects, because teachers and other adults will look at a young person who volunteers his or her time for certain activities as mature, responsible and deserving of respect. 

Besides, volunteering for organizations such as orphanages, community centers and other non-profit organizations allows you to interact with society at large. In addition to helping these organizations carry out their duties, you not only gain experience but can also learn a variety of skills.       . Even though you are not being paid, through volunteering time, effort and skills, you would learn more than what money can buy. 

      . For example, if you volunteer your time regularly for a charity organization, you will learn how the organization works, the importance of teamwork, and other essential ideas related to the day-to-day operations of the organization. 

Thus, with so many benefits, students, in particular, should be allowed to participate in volunteer activities.       . 

A.You will feel proud

B.You will feel respected

C.This is especially beneficial to students

D.One should actively be involved in volunteering

E.In fact, one can get many benefits from volunteering

F.You can learn some useful interpersonal and organizational skills

G.Volunteering also exposes one to many interesting ideas and issues
