Now Gates-who has been labeled a “greedy” reader-has released a list of his favorite books of the year. All of the books are standout reads, according to the billionaire, most of which are focused on business and economy. ‎ Here are Bill's top four picks for the year (with parts of his full review of each book).  ‎ Business Adventures, by John Brooks ‎ Brooks’ collection was published in 1969 and remains one of Gates’ favorites. He reread it again this year, labeling it the “best business book I’ve ever read.”‎ ‎   “Shortly after we met, Warren Buffett lent me this collection of from The New Yorker business articles front the 1950s and 1960s. I loved them as much as he did. Brooks’ insights (洞察力)about business have aged beautifully, and they are as true today as ever.”‎ ‎ Capital in lire Twenty-First Century, by Thomas Piketty ‎ Piketty’s novel hit the shelves in August 2013 and sparked much discussion concerning income inequality throughout this year. Gates also got to sit down with Piketty himself after reading the non-fiction work to discuss the topic. ‎ ‎    “As I told him, although I have concerns about some of his secondary points and policy ‎ prescriptions, I agree with his most important conclusions: inequality is a growing problem and governments should play a role on reducing it.”‎ How Asia works, by Joe Studwell ‎ Studwell’s work, which was published in May this year, addresses how countries such as Japan, South Korea and China have continued to achieve high growth and why other countries have failed to do the same.   ‎ ‎“The agriculture section of the book was particularly insightful. It provided ample food for ‎ thought for me as well as the whole Agriculture team at our foundation. And it left us thinking ‎ about whether parts of the Asian model can apply in Africa.” ‎ ‎ Making the Modern World: Materials and Dematerialization, by Vaclav Smil ‎ ‎     Smil’s books are a constant favorite of the Microsoft’s founder-one of his books makes Gates’ list almost every year. “Making the Modem World” came out last year and explores the global use of materials, from silicon to wood, and plastic.”‎ ‎“If anyone tries to tell you we're using fewer materials, send him this book. With his usual skepticism and his love of data, Smil shows how our ability to make things with fewer materials – say, soda cans that need less aluminum - makes them cheaper, which actually encourages more production.”‎ ‎21. The books mentioned in the text are all about_______. ‎ ‎ A. charity in the world  B. business and economy ‎ C. poverty in the world  D. Bill Gates’ life experience ‎ ‎22. Of the books, _______ is best praised by Bill Gates. ‎ ‎ A. How Asia Works  B. Capital in the Twenty-First Century ‎ ‎ C. Business Adventures  D. Making the Modern World: Materials and Dematerialization ‎ ‎23. In How Asia Works, the author analyses_______.‎ ‎ A. why African agriculture cannot develop fast ‎ B. how they can apply Asian economic model in African countries ‎ C. why Asia is slow in agricultural development ‎ D. how some Asian countries have rapidly grown in economy B You may have heard adults say they are uncomfortable in the morning without a cup of coffee. One reason they may feel that way is that coffee contains caffeine(咖啡因). Caffeine occurs naturally in coffee, tea, and cocoa beans, which are used to make chocolate. But now food makers are adding it to many products, from potato chips to water.‎ The US government is especially worried about the problem. That’s why the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is studying the health effects of caffeine on young people. Studies show that too much caffeine can make people nervous and unable to sleep. What’s more, caffeine is habit-forming. Those who consume it regularly and stop suddenly may experience headaches and feel tired.‎ One of the biggest concerns is the large amount of caffeine added to so-called energy drinks, like Red Bull. A 12-ounce can of cola has about 35 milligrams of caffeine. A similar serving of Red Bull contains more than three times that amount.‎ The Institute of Medicine is also working on caffeine-safety measures. “Teenagers should not drink beverages that contain caffeine. They should be aware of caffeine’s effects on health and on how the ‎ brain works. Take, for example, teenagers who consume caffeine to stay awake and study for a test. They will remember less of what they just studied,” said Stallings, a member of the institute.‎ Companies that make products with added caffeine claim they do not advertise them to kids. However, there is no law to stop children from buying them. So the FDA needs to set limits on caffeine, especially in energy drinks. As for added caffeine in foods, the government should just say no. If not, the amount of caffeine should be printed on food labels to remind consumers. The government must do that.‎ Doctors say kids should avoid caffeine. If you need extra energy, try these natural boosters: eat right, exercise, and get plenty of sleep.‎ ‎24.  Red Bull is listed in the third paragraph as an example of _____.‎ A. caffeine’s effects on health           B. teenagers’ addiction to caffeine C. drinks which contain much caffeine    D. people’s concern about teenagers’ health ‎25. What is the US government particularly concerned about?‎ A. The fact that coffee contains caffeine.        B. The practice of adding caffeine to foods.‎ C. The measures of avoiding caffeine’s effects.   D. The practice of using caffeine to make chocolate.‎ ‎26. Paragraph 5 is mainly about _____.‎ A. the measures of protecting teenagers from caffeine’s effects B. the process of the government’s controlling the use of caffeine C. the government’s responsibility of taking care of teenagers D. the risk of buying products containing caffeine nowadays ‎27. The author may agree that _______.‎ ‎  A. headaches and feeling tired are common in teenagers ‎  B. food makers don’t add much caffeine to many products now ‎ C. caffeine is good and useful for teenagers’ study D. getting enough sleep can make people energetic C ‎ Uggs（雪地靴）are certainly ugly, or at least inelegant. The shapeless boots, pulled on in a hurry, can make anyone look like a slob（懒惰又邋遢的人）, which has made them the target of disrespect. It hasn’t been hard to find someone strongly condemning them. “Ugg boots are not sexy,” The Independent declared in 2003, “unless you’re Mrs. Bigfoot on a lone mission across Antarctica to find Mr. Bigfoot.” When wearing shoes, a writer of The Gloss complained, “There’s nothing to indicate that you don’t have square, horrible shoeboxes in place of human feet.” In 2015, one coffee shop on Brick Lane in east London even banned ugg-wearers.‎ And yet, over the years, plenty of strange and unattractive shoes have met with the approval of the fashion establishment. The problem with uggs wasn’t that they were ugly; it’s that they were common.‎ But a funny thing happened on the way to fashion’s tomb: the universal ugg has not gone anywhere. Uggs have quietly stayed here since their best time. Once you start paying attention, you’ll be shocked to discover how many people are still wearing them. They are worn by mothers in town and in the country, by teenagers on Saturday shopping trips and by people in fashion.‎ Perhaps the secret of uggs’ unstoppable success is that, if there is a dividing line between public appeal and private style, it might be a pair of cozy boots. They are certainly comfortable, soft and warm, as if your feet were in the hugging of someone who really loves you. At $150 a pair, they are neither cheap nor entirely out of range. They are casual and indulgent（纵容的）.‎ Somehow uggs, the boots that so many people hate, have managed to challenge the cruel logic of the fashion cycle and carry on whether you approve of them or not. ‎ ‎28. What is the best title of the passage?‎ ‎ A. Uggs Refuse to Die. B. Uggs Have Existed So Long.‎ ‎ C. Uggs Enter the Fashion Circle. D. Uggs Have Gone Somewhere.‎ ‎29. Why does theauthor quote many media’s words in the first paragragh?‎ ‎ A. To prove uggs’ toughness. B. To prove uggs’ popularity.‎ ‎ C. To prove people’s approval. D. To prove people’s condemning.[‎ ‎30. What does the author think very strange?‎ ‎ A. Uggs are very common. B. Uggs stay there regardless.‎ ‎ C. Uggs are worn by teenagers. D. Uggs are inelegant and ugly.‎ ‎31. What is the secret to the success of uggs according to the passage?‎ ‎ A. They are very cheap. B. They won private style.‎ ‎ C. They have public appeal. D. They are very comfortable. ‎ D Many people have bought insurance, either life or property, commercial or compulsory. Yet some people know little about it and some even misunderstand its nature and function.‎ Insurance is the sharing of risks. Nearly everyone is exposed to a risk of some sort. The house owner, for example, knows that his property can be damaged by fire; the ship-owner knows that his ships may be lost at sea; the breadwinner knows that he may die at an early age and leave his family poorer. On the other hand, not every house is damaged by fire nor every ship is lost at sea. If these persons each put a small amount of money into a pool, there will be enough to meet the needs of the few who do suffer losses. In other words, the losses of the few are met from the contributions of the many. This is the basis of insurance. Those who pay the contribution are known as the insured and those who manage the pool of contributions as insurers.‎ The legal basis of all insurance is the policy. This is a printed form of contract on a piece of paper in best quality. It states that every year the insured shall pay an amount of money, which is called the premium; in return, the insurer will pay an amount of money or compensation for losses if the risk or event insured against actually happens.‎ The premium for insurance naturally depends upon how likely the risk is to happen, as suggested by past experience. If companies fix their premiums too high, there will be more competition in their area of insurance and they may lose business. On the other hand, if they make the premium too low, they will lose money and may even have to drop out of business. So the ordinary forces of supply and demand keep premiums at a level satisfactory to both the insurer and the insured.‎ ‎32. The underlined phrase in Para. 2 most probably means________.‎ ‎ A. money paid by the insurers B. each premium C. money paid by all those insured D. the cost of administering insurance ‎33. Insurance premiums do not become too high because ________.‎ ‎ A. not many people insure themselves B. premiums depend on the risk of losses C. insurers have to be more competitive D. insurance companies can never lose money ‎34. According to the passage, insurance business gains profit because _________.‎ ‎ A. more and more people buy insurance B. the firms have sound management C. the premium is increased year by year D. only a few of those insured suffer losses ‎35. The purpose of the passage is to ________.[]‎ ‎ A. explain an insurance policy B. introduce insurance business C. persuade people to be insured D. warn people of possible losses 第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）‎ 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将 该项涂黑。选项中有两项为多余选项。（答题卡上E=AB F=AC G=AD）‎ When we are grown-ups, it's quite natural to look back on our different stages of life and remember who was there to see us through. ___36___ While some people’s high school friendships gradually end, mine have stuck with me through every bit of life since. And I suppose high school friends are the friends you’ll build the strongest relationships with.‎ ‎___37___ Whether it is the bad haircut or the braces (牙箍)you wear, your high school friends help you through it all.

So even when you don’t want to hear it, prepare yourself because they’re not going to stop trying until you’re back to your normal self.‎ They make for the best reunion. Reunions are harder to organize when friends live across the country. However, with high school friends, it’s easy to enjoy the time together.
