If the world were a village of 1,000 people, it would include:
★ 584 Asians
★ 124 Africans
★ 95 Eastern and Western Europeans
★ 84 Latin America
★ 55 former Soviets (including Lithuanians, Latvians, Estonians, and other national groups)
★ 52 North Americans
★ 6 Australians and New Zealand
The people of the village would speak:
★ 165 Mandarin
★ 86 English
★ 83 Hindu/Urdu
★ 64 Spanish
★ 58 Russian
★ 37 Arabic
The above list covers the mother tongues of only half the village.
One-third of the people in the village are children, and only 60 are over the age of 65. Just under half of the married women in the village have access to modern equipments.
This year 28 babies will be born. Ten people will die, 3 of them for lack of food, 1 from cancer. Two of the deaths will be of babies born within the year. With the 28 births and 10 deaths, the population of the village next year will be 1018.
In this village of 1,000 persons,200 people receive 75 percent of the income: another 200 receive only 2 percent of the income.
About one third have access to clean, safe drinking water.
Of the 670 adults in the village, half can not read nor write.
The village has a total yearly budget(预算), public and private, of over $ 3 million--$ 3,000 per person if it is distributed evenly. Of the total $ 3 million:
★ 181,000 goes to weapons and warfare
★ 159,000 to education
★ 132,000 to health care
These weapons are under the control of just 100 of the people. The other 900 are watching them with deep anxiety, wondering whether they can learn to get along together.
小题1: Which of the following is true about Mandarin according to the text?
| A．Nearly one third of Asian people speak Mandarin in the village. |
| B．About 25 percent of the people speak Mandarin in the village. |
| C．About 16.5 percent of the people speak Mandarin in the village. |
| D．Nearly all the Mandarin-speaking people are from Asia in the village. |

| A．use | B．buy | C．produce | D．try |
| A．a peaceful world | B．good education | C．better health care | D．a life without anxiety |
答案
小题1:C
小题2:D
小题3:A
小题4:A
解析
小题1:本题考查考生对文中细节的理解程度。文中提到在村庄中每100人中就有165人说普通话，约合16.5%。
小题2:本题考查考生对各细节的捕捉与辨别能力。文中提到“ Ten people will die, 3 of them for lack of food”,由此提到贫穷问题； “of the 670 adults in the village, half can not read nor write”,由此提到教育问题； “About one-third have access to clean, safe drinking water”, 由此提到环境问题。因而选D。
小题3:本题考查考生根据文章上下文推测生词组的能力。“have access to”在文中出现两次，其后所接宾语分别为“现代设备”与“饮用水”，根据常识判断为“使用”。
小题4:本题考查考生对文中语句的理解能力。“The other 900 ... wondering whether they can learn to get along together”,由此可知大多数人都向往一个和平的世界。
