A

Income inequality was a major topic at this year's annual World Economic Forum at the Swiss ski resort of Davos. That problem seems to be as serious in the world's two largest economies of the United States and China as in other parts of the world...

A report by Oxfam, an international confederation（联盟）of 17 organizations to find solutions to poverty in the world, showed that by 2016, the top 1 percent of the world's population could own more wealth than the other 99 percent combined if the present trend of rising inequality continues.

The Oxfam study published Jan 20 showed that the richest 1 percent have seen their share of global wealth increase to 48 percent in 2014 from 44 percent in 2009. This very global elites(精英) had an average wealth of $2.7 million per adult in 2014.

And even of the remaining 52 percent of the global wealth, almost all (46 percent) is held by the rest of the richest 20 percent of the world's population. The other 80 percent share just 5.5 percent and had an average wealth of $3,851 per adult, or 1/700 of the average wealth of the top 1 percent, according to Oxfam.

"In the past 12 months we have seen world leaders from President Obama to Christine Lagarde talk more about extreme inequality but we are still waiting for many of them to walk the walk. It is time our leaders took measures to build a fairer world," Byanyima said, Oxfam International's director.

While Obama in his State of the Union address last week asked, "Will we accept an economy where only a few of us do amazingly well? Or will we commit(使承担义务) ourselves to an economy that causes rising incomes and chances for everyone who makes the effort?", income inequality in the US has actually worsened under Obama's six years in office when the bottom 99 percent saw their income stagnate(停滞).

21. Where does the problem of income inequality exist in the world?

A. In most of the advanced countries in the world.

B. In most of the developing countries in the world.

C. Only in the United States and China.

D. In all the countries of the world.

22. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?

A. Oxfam can find solutions to poverty in the world.

B. The top one percent own most of the global wealth now.

C. Income inequality will disappear by 2016 according to the report by Oxfam.

D. The top one percent own almost as much wealth as the other 99 percent in 2014.

23. What can we learn from the last paragraph?

A. The situation of income inequality has improved a lot in the past six years.

B. Obama still takes no notice of income inequality in the US.

C. Obama may take measures to solve the problem of income inequality.

D. More people became richer under Obama’s six years in office.

24. What does the underlined words “walk the walk” in Para.5 probably mean?

A. Keep one’s promise B. Take actual action

C. Take it easy D. Take things seriously

B

Nearly 90 percent of China's big cities failed to meet air quality standards in 2014, but that was still an improvement on 2013 as the country's “war on pollution” began to take effect, the environment ministry said on Monday.

The Ministry of Environmental Protection said on its website that only eight of the 74 cities it monitors managed to meet national standards in 2014 on a series of pollution measures such as PM2.5, which is a reading of particles found in the air, carbon monoxide and ozone(臭氧).

China said last year it would “declare war on pollution” and it has started to remove substandard industrial power and reduce coal use.

In 2013, only three cities - Haikou on the island province of Hainan, Lhasa in Tibet autonomous region and the coastal resort city of Zhoushan - met the standards. They were joined in 2014 by Shenzhen, Huizhou and Zhuhai in southern Guangdong province, Fuzhou in neighbouring Fujian and Kunming in the southwest.

Beijing is not among the 10 Chinese cities with the worst air quality nor among the 10 Chinese cities with the best air quality. Of the 10 worst-performing cities in 2014, seven were located in the heavy industrial province of Hebei, which surrounds the capital, Beijing, the ministry said. The cities of Baoding, Xingtai, Shijiazhuang, Tangshan, Handan and Hengshui, all in Hebei, filled the top six places.

The ministry said the average PM2.5 reading in the Beijing-Hebei-Tianjin region stood at 93 micrograms per cubic metre last year. The state standard is 35 micrograms but China does not expect to bring the national average down to that level before 2030.

The government has recognized Hebei as a top concern when it comes to cutting smog, and it has set targets to reduce coal use and close polluting industrial power, but the province has struggled to find other sources of growth.

25. From the first paragraph we know _______.

A. air quality in China is getting worse

B. the air quality standard in China is not the same as before

C. the war on pollution began to take effect in 2012

D. the air quality improved in 2014

26. When did China declare war on pollution?

A. In 2011. B. In 2012. C. In 2013. D. In 2014.

27. How many more cities in China met the air quality in 2014?

A. 3. B. 5. C. 8. D. 9.

28. Which of the following is true according to the passage?

A. Beijing is among the 10 Chinese cities with the best air quality.

B. Half of the 10 Chinese cities with the worst air quality are in Hebei Procince.

C. One of the 10 Chinese cities with the worst air quality is in Fujian Province.

D. The top six cities with the worst air quality are all in Hebei Province.

C

It’s sometimes difficult to hear people say bad things about your country – particularly when you know deep down that they’re mostly true.

British food is well known for being among the worst in the world – and now the US ambassador to the UK Matthew Barzun has made it known that he agrees. Barzun said in an interview with Tatler magazine that he had been served lamb and potato “180 times” since he arrived in the UK last year, adding: “There are limits, and I have reached them.” British people are used to hearing from foreigners that our food is boring and tasteless, but to hear it from an ambassador to the UK is a step further than even we are used to. The truth is, there is certainly good British food – fish and chips and roast chicken dinners are good examples – but we don’t have as many dis
