What we have been aware of is that people from Italy speak Italian and people from Russia speak Russian. But have you ever wondered the reason why people speak Spanish in so many South American countries? Do you know why the brilliant footballers of Brazil speak Portuguese? And why is French the first language of some people in Canada? The answer is that all these countries belonged to European empires at one time. The next question is: how did these empires begin? To answer that question we have to probably go back to the 15th and 16th centuries, the golden age of European explorers.
Although this period is known as the golden age of European explorers, it was not the beginning of European exploration. As you probably know, Marco Polo travelled a long way to China at the end of the 13th century and some people say that the Vikings discovered America long before Columbus set sail in 1492. However, it is during this "golden" period that some famous voyages took place. Columbus' voyage to America is the best known voyage of exploration, but Ferdinand Magellan sailed round the world in this period, and Spanish explorers such as Central and Pizarro reached South America.
Cortez defeated the Aztecs in what we now know as Mesico and Pizarro defeated the Incas in what we now know as Peru. The roots of the Spanish empire were established and that is why the Spanish language is so widely spoken in Central and South America today.
36. When is the golden age of European explorers?
A．The 15th century.
B．The 16th century.
C．The l3th century.

C ．Ferdinand Magellan voyaged round the world.
D ．Cortez and Pizarro reached South America.
38. Who defeated the Aztecs in what we now know as Mexico?
A ．Pizarro.
B ．Cortez.
C ．Incas.
D ．Columbus.
39. According to the passage, some countries in America didn't use to belong
to . A ．Portugal.
B ．Spain.
C ．Canada.
D ．France.
40. From the passage, we can know that .
A ．Many countries in South America have been influenced by European countries
B ．The period of the 15th and 16th centuries was the beginning of the European exploration
C ．European explorers occupied some American countries in a peaceful way
D ．Ferdinand Magellan's voyage round the world is not famous at all
When it comes to helping developing countries, we often think about offering money in order that they can build schools and hospitals, buy food and medicine, or find clean water supplies. These seem to be the most important basic needs in their lives. However, it's far from enough. We have to come up with better ideas.
A man called Nicholas Negroponte invented a cheap laptop computer, which he decided to invent after he visited a school in Cambodia. The laptop which Mr. Negroponte has designed is not the same as the normal one that you can buy in the shops. One difference is that it will be covered in rubber so that it is strong and won't be damaged easily. As an electricity supply can be a problem in developing countries, the computer also has a special handle in order that children canwindthe computerupto give it extra power when needed.
This special laptop computer will cost less than 100 US dollars and Mr.
Negroponte wants to produce as many as 15 million laptop computers in the first year. The idea is that these computers will help the children's education as they will be able to access the Internet. These computers might not benefit the people in developing countries immediately, but 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 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.
41. The underlined phrase "wind up" in paragraph 2 means .
A．吹风
B．给……上发条
C．摇上
D．利用空气……使……
42. The laptop computer that Mr. Negroponte has designed .
A．will be damaged much easier than the normal one
B．has a special handle to access the Internet
C．is cheap and can run with extra power
D．can be helpful to find the people's own solutions
43. According to the passage, what benefit can we get from recycling old mobile
phones?
A．We can reduce the waste to protect the environment.
B．We can help children in developing countries reuse the old mobile phones.
C．It is good for the environment and very educative for phone users.
D．It not only reduces the waste produced by developed countries but also
helps the children in developing countries.

44. Mr. Negroponte's cheap computer is mentioned in the passage to .
A ．illustrate the kindness of people in the developed countries
B ．tell us what high technology can help people
C ．show how to find business opportunities in developing countries
D ．give an example of how to help developing countries
45. Which is the best idea the author gives us to help the developing countries?
A ．We need to help people in developing countries to help themselves, not just throw money at the problem.
B ．We should spend much money helping people in developing countries build more schools and hospitals.
C ．We should think about giving help to developing countries more often.
D ．We should help the people in developing countries by improving children's education immediately. 六、 短文选词填空（共1题）
