WASHINGTON The head of the World Bank says for the first time in human history, it is possible to end poverty around the world. Jim Yong Kim told a Washington audience Tuesday, he wants to make ending world poverty by 2030 a top goal for the bank and governments around the world.
World Bank President Jim Yong Kim says that the problems of poverty, hunger and inequality are wide, urgent and a matter of survival of millions.
“We know that despite the great successes of the last decade, there are still about 1.3 billion people living in extreme poverty, 870 million who go hungry every day, and 6.9 million children under five dying every year,” he said.
But Kim told a Washington audience that the previous successful efforts to cut the number of people living in extreme poverty by half give them hope.
“We are at an auspicious moment in history, when the successes of past decades and an increasingly favourable economic outlook combine to give developing countries a chance－for the first time ever－to end extreme poverty within a generation,” he said in a speech at Georgetown University. “Our duty now must be to ensure that these favourable circumstances are matched with deliberate decisions to realize this historic opportunity.”
Kim says success will require increasing the speed of economic growth, particularly in South Africa and South Asia.
But he warned that civil unrest could happen if economic growth does not help people at all income levels, and also include women and youth．
Kim says that the World Bank and other development agencies will have more resources to get this job done right. “Meeting this 2030 goal will take extraordinary effort,” he said.
However, Kim warned that all the progress in fighting poverty could be destroyed by climate disasters unless the nations of the world do more to prevent climate change.
56. In the opinion of Jim Yong Kim, world poverty _____．
A. is difficult but hopeful to end by 2030 B. exists only in Africa and Asia
C. is not quite hard to end by 2030 D. will be sure to disappear by 2030
57. Which of the following gives Jim Yong Kim the hope to end world poverty?
A. Economic growth is increasing in developing countries．
B. Great successes have been achieved in science and technology．
C. A decreasing number of people are living in poverty．
D. All countries have started to fight poverty．
58. The underlined word 'auspicious' in Paragraph 5 most probably means '_____'．
A. unforgettable B. lucky
C. disappearing D. important
59. What’s the passage mainly about?
A. The key of ending world poverty is preventing climate change.
B. A top goal--ending world poverty will possibly be achieved by 2030.
C. The success of ending poverty－economic growth.
D. The progress in fighting poverty.
B
At Blossom End Railroad Station, 22-year-old Stanley Vine sat, waiting for his new employer. The surrounding green fields were so unlike the muddy landscape of war-torn France. After four horrible years as an army private fighter in Europe, Stanley had returned to England in February, 1946. Armed now with some savings and with no prospects for a job in England, he answered a newspaper ad for farm help in Canada. Two months later he was on his way.
When the old car rumbled toward the tiny station, Stanley rose to his feet, trying to make the most of his five feet and four inch frame. The farmer, Alphonse Lapine, shook his head and complained, “You’re a skinny thing.” On the way to his dairy farm, Alphonse explained that he had a wife and seven kids. “Money’s tight. You’ll get room and board. You’ll get up at dawn for milking, and then help me around the farm until evening milking time again. Ten dollars a week. Sundays off.” Stanley nodded. He had never been on a farm before, but he took the job.
From the beginning Stanley was treated horribly by the whole family. They made fun of the way he dressed and talked. He could do nothing right. The humourless farmer frequently lost his temper, criticizing Stanley for the slightest mistake. The oldest son, 13-year-old Armand, constantly played nasty tricks on him. But the kind-hearted Stanley never responded.
Stanley never became part of the Lapine family. After work, they ignored him. He spent his nights alone in a tiny bedroom. However, each evening before retiring, he lovingly cared for the farmer’s horses, eagerly awaiting him at the field gate. He called them his gentle giants. On Saturday nights he hitch-hiked into the nearest town and wandered the streets or enjoyed a restaurant meal before returning to the farm.
Early one November morning Alphonse Lapine discovered that Stanley had disappeared, after only six months as his farmhand. The railway station master, when questioned later that week, said he had not seen him. In fact no one in the community ever heard of him again. That is, until one evening, almost 20 years later, when Armand opened an American sports magazine and came across a shocking headline, “Millionaire jockey, Stanley Vine, ex-British soldier and 5-time horse riding champion, began life in North America as a farmhand in Canada.”
60. Stanley Vine decided to go to Canada because ________.
A. he wanted to escape from war-torn France
B. he wanted to serve in the Canadian army
C. he couldn’t find a job in England
D. he loved working as a farmhand
61. What did Stanley like doing after work each day?
A. Hitch-hiking to different towns.
B. Caring for the farmer’s horses.
C. Wandering around the farm alone.
D. Preparing meals on the farm.
62. What can we infer from the passage?
A. When Stanley first met his employer, he tried to impress him but failed.
B. Stanley had never worked on a farm, so he made few mistakes.
C. Stanley’s weekly salary was not enough for him to live on.
D. Stanley left the farm by train, without telling anyone why he did so.
63. Why was Armand so astonished when he read about Stanley in the magazine?
A. He didn’t know Stanley had been a British soldier.
B. He had no idea Stanley had always been a wealthy man.
C. He didn’t know his father paid Stanley so little money.
D. He didn’t expect Stanley to become such a success.

While working with troubled teens, I used to have them do the Ten Years in the Future exercise. I asked them to write a letter to a friend as if it was ten years in the future. Most of these boys and girls didn’t think about the next week, much less ten years to come. Like the Cheshire cat says in Alice in Wonderland, “If you don’t know where you want to go, then it doesn’t really matter what road you take!” We had some great conversations as they really thought about what they wanted. For most of them, this was the first time they had ever thought this way!
But the real story is what happened to me. I did the exercise right along with them on many occasions, writing my dreams and visions(远景规划) in detail. In my letter to a friend, I had moved to the country, built my own home, authored a book, and started my own business. Over the next ten years, something magic happened. All my dreams and visions became a reality, almost as if arranged by an unseen hand. I did write books and start my business. We did move to the country and I did build my own home.
This letter to a friend will become a magnetic(有吸引力的) factor in your life. Your vision will guide you in your yearly goals, your monthly goals, and your daily activities. For example:
“Leslie, I just wanted to make contact again and tell you about my life. I started my own gardening business in 2020 and it’s really taken off.”
Remember to describe all the details as if they have already happened. Write to a real person who you think may still know in ten years. This will help make it more real for you.
Sit down and write your Ten Years in the Future letter today.

The globe is facing a “tidal wave” of cancer, and restrictions on alcohol and sugar need to be considered, say World Health Organization scientists. It predicts the number of cancer cases will reach 24 million a year by 2035, but half could be prevented. The WHO said there was now a “real need” to focus on cancer prevention by cutting down smoking, obesity and drinking.
The World Cancer Research Fund (WCRF) said there was an “alarming” level of ignorance about diet’s role in cancer. Fourteen million people a year are diagnosed with cancer, but that is predicted to increase to 19 million by 2025, 22 million by 2030 and 24 million by 2035. The developing world will bear the worst of the extra cases.
Dr Chris Wild, the director of the WHO’s International Agency for Research on Cancer, told the BBC: “The global cancer burden is increasing quite markedly, due mainly to the ageing of the populations and population growth. If we look at the cost of treatment of cancers, it is increasing out of control, even for the high-income countries. Prevention is absolutely critical and it’s been somewhat neglected.”
The WHO’s World Cancer Report 2014 said the major sources of preventable cancer included: smoking, infections, alcohol, obesity and inactivity, radiation, both from the sun and medical scans, air pollution and other environmental factors, delayed parenthood, having fewer children and not breastfeeding.
For most countries, breast cancer is the most common cancer in women. However, cervical cancer (子宫颈癌) dominates in large parts of Africa.
One of the report’s editors, Dr Bernard Stewart from the University of New South Wales in Australia, said prevention had a “critical role in fighting the tidal wave of cancer which we see coming across the world”. He said human behaviour was behind many cancers such as the sunbathe “until you’re cooked evenly on both sides” approach in his native Australia. There was a similar argument to be something with sugar fuelling obesity, which in turn affected cancer risk.
Meanwhile, a survey of 2,046 people in the UK by the WCRF suggested 49% do not know that diet increases the risk of developing cancer. A third of people said cancer was mainly due to family history, but the charity said no more than 10% of cancers were down to inherited genes.
Amanda McLean, general manager for the WCRF, said: “It’s very alarming to see that such a large number of people don’t know that there’s a lot they can do to significantly reduce their risk of getting cancer. In the UK, about a third of the most common cancers could be prevented through being a healthy weight, eating a healthy diet and being regularly physically active.”
“People can cut their risk of cancer by making healthy lifestyle choices, but it’s important to remember that the government and society are also responsible for creating an environment that supports healthy lifestyles.”
72. What’s the main reason for the increasing of cancer according to Dr Chris Wild?
A. The lack of the cost of treatment of cancers.
B. The problems of population ageing and growth.
C. The high rate of cancer of high-income countries.
D. The over-prevention of various cancers.
73. What can we learn from Paragraph 6?
A. Radiation from the sun won’t lead to any cancer.
B. In order to find cancer early one should receive as many medical scans as possible.
C. It is better to feed babies with cow milk instead of breastfeeding.
D. A healthy diet and regular exercise are helpful to prevent cancer.
74. What is the best title of the passage?
A. The Tidal Wave of Cancer is Coming
B. Stopping Smoking Helps Stop Cancer
C. Healthy Lifestyles to Prevent Cancer
D. Healthy Eating, Away from Cancer
75. How can we prevent cancer according to the passage?
a. By stopping smoking. b. By drinking less alcohol.
c. By eating a healthy diet. d. By putting off giving birth to babies.
e. By taking exercise regularly.
A. abcd B. abce C. abde D. acde
