Question

When we think about giving help to developing countries, we often think about giving money so that these countries can build schools and hospitals, buy food and medicine, or find clean water supplies. These seem to be the most important basic needs of the people we are trying to help. However, it's far from enough. Ladies and gentlemen, we've got to come up with some better ideas to help them.
I was very surprised, then, when I read about a plan to make cheap laptop computers for children in developing countries. A man called Nicholas Negroponte invented a cheap laptop computer and he planed to produce a lot and sell them to the children in developing countries at a low price after he visited a school in Cambodia. The laptop will be covered in rubber so that it is very strong and won't be damaged easily. The idea is that these computers will help the children's education as they will be able to surf the Internet. By improving children's education they should help people to find their own solutions to their problems in the long term.
Another idea to help children in developing countries is to recycle old mobile phones so that they can be used again. In the UK, and probably in many other countries too, millions of mobile phones are thrown away every year. The waste created by throwing away these old phones is very bad for the environment, so it seems to be an excellent idea to recycle them. In this way we will be able to achieve two important goals at the same time. We will reduce the waste we produce and help others. In other words, we will be able to 'kill two birds with one  stone’, and that is always a good thing.

Answer 1

【小題1】A
【小題2】D
【小題3】C

解析試題分析：本文就如何幫助發展中國家，而提出一些意見，不是以前的捐助錢、衣服或財務之類的做法，文中以Nicholas Negroponte幫助發展中國家為例進行了論述，他生產了大量的手提電腦，以非常便宜的價格賣給了發展中國家，讓孩子用上電腦，為了他們國家的長遠教育。另一種方法，把廢舊的手機收上來，再加以利用，既減少了垃圾，又是非常環保的舉動。
【小題1】這是細節理解題。根據We will reduce the waste we produce and help others.既能減少垃圾又能幫助別人，故選A。
【小題2】這是細節理解題。根據I was very surprised, then, when I read about a plan to make cheap laptop computers for children in developing countries. 如何幫助發展中國家，故選D。
【小題3】這是文章出處題。根據Ladies and gentlemen, we've got to come up with some better ideas to help them.這里只有作報告時，才會出現稱呼的詞，故選C。
考點：這是一篇議論文。
點評：文章出處題應從文章的內容或結構來判斷其出處：    (1)報紙：前面會出現日期、地點或通訊社名稱。    (2)廣告：因其格式特殊，容易辨認。    (3)產品說明：器皿、設備的使用說明會有產品名稱或操作方式，而藥品的服用說明會告知服用時間、次數、藥量等。
