第二部分阅读理解（共两节，满分40分）。

第一节（满分30分）阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中选出最佳选项。

1．（8分）Below are some suggestions about how to help people in Africa.They are put up on our website by children from the United Kingdom.Which one do you think is the best？

     I think health is the most important thing.We need to make sure that the money we give to charity（慈善组织） is spent wisely.The money should be spent first on clean water supplies and better healthcare.

—Robin，aged 16，Birmingham

     I think the most important thing is to improve the education of the African countries.There is an old saying "If you give a man a fish，you'll feed him for a day.If you teach him how to fish，you'll feed him for a lifetime."We need to help people to help themselves，not just throw money at the problem when it appears.

—Rebecca，aged 15，Liverpool

     People seem to give a lot more money to charity when there is a sudden huge disaster（灾难）.It's good  for people to do so，but I also think that everyone should give a small part of their salary（工资） to charity.If everyone did that，it would make a big difference.

—Mary，aged 14，Stratford﹣on﹣Avo

     Giving money to charity can help but it's not the final and best answer.I think what these countries need most is a good government.

—Bethany，aged 16，Newcastle

     The best thing we can do is to send experts like engineers，doctors and teachers to help the people to help themselves.

—Robert，aged 16，Cardiff

4．（8分）This is a story of two Chinese bowls，one old and one new，and how they became famous.

     A man in the US state of Conniecticut went to a yard sale and saw a small bowl.It was blue and white and had pretty flowers on it.It also looked very old.The man paid ＄35 for it and decided to do some research.He found that the bowl was one of the first examples of blue﹣and﹣white clay art made in Jingdezhen，China's""porcelain capital（瓷都）".It belonged to the Yongle Emperor of the Ming Dynasty.Museum experts say the emperor's little rice bowl is an important historical artifact（文物）.It is worth as much as ＄500，000.

     The other bowl is bigger and has a less interesting story.It is red and white，and also has pretty flowers on it.lt is for sale online in America for ＄60.The seller says it can be filled with fruits or flowers and used as a pretty home object.However，when Chinese netizens were surfing online，they found that the bowl was something once very common in every home ﹣﹣ a toilet.Several tens of years ago，you would see people carrying these pretty bowls to the neighborhood toilet early in the morning and emptying them.You can still buy these bowls today in small shops for about 4 dollars each.

     The story of the two bowls tells us that the value of something isn't always related to its use.A bowl，after all，is just a bowl.Perhaps the seller of the toilet bowl could ask for an even higher price if he said it had once been used by an emperor.
