What is Paracutin?It was the first volcano(火山) in the world which was seen from its birth right up to the present day.On February 20,1943,a peasant and his wife set out to work in their corn fields from the Mexican village of Paracutin.They were surprised to find the earth warm under their feet.Suddenly they heard noises deep in the earth and a small hole appeared in their field.In the afternoon there was a sudden loud noise and stones were thrown high in the air.The peasants ran from the field and turned to watch.They saw the birth of a volcano.
Large quantities of stone and lava(巖漿) broke out and a little hill began to form.By evening this hill was 100feet high and hot ashes(灰燼) were falling on the village.At night the strong light of the hot lava lit up the countryside.The trees near the village were killed and the villagers had to leave their houses.When the village was destroyed,its name was given to the volcano.The news quickly reached Mexico City,far to the east.Many people came to watch the scene.The volcano grew and grew for ten years and hundreds of square miles of forest were destroyed.Then Paracutin went to sleep.

分析 本文屬于說(shuō)明文閱讀,作者通過(guò)這篇文章向我們介紹了墨西哥Paracutin的一些信息,并描述了1943年2月20 日火山噴發(fā)的全過(guò)程.

解答 29.B  細(xì)節(jié)理解題.根據(jù)第二段 the Mexican village of Paracutin 以及第3段中的 When the village was destroyed,its name was given to the volcano 可知Paracutin 曾經(jīng)是一個(gè)村子名,故選B.
30.C  細(xì)節(jié)理解題.根據(jù)第三段 The volcano grew and grew for ten years and hundreds of square miles of forest were destroyed 可知火山毀壞了Paracutin周圍的森林和原野,故選C.
31.A  推理判斷題.本文描述了1943年2月20 日墨西哥Paracutin 火山噴發(fā)的全過(guò)程.不是科學(xué)理論,也不是編造的故事,目的不是讓我們相信什么,由此可知選項(xiàng)B、C、D顯然與原文不符,故選A.
32.A  推理判斷題.根據(jù)文章內(nèi)容我們可以了解到那個(gè)村莊沒(méi)有人知道旁邊有火山,而且不知道會(huì)有火山爆發(fā),因?yàn)镻aracutin是世界上第一座火山,故選A.

6.Microsoft founder Bill Gates has opened up about being a parent,stating that 13 is an appropriate age for a child's first cell phone.
     The 57-year-old,father-of-three,revealed on the Today Show that his children Jennifer and Rory were not allowed phones until their 13th birthday and his youngest daughter Phoebe is still waiting for one.
"We've chosen in our family that it's 13 where you get a phone,"the self-made billionaire explained.
    He said as a result his children often return home from school complaining,"All the other kids have it.I'm the only one without it.It's so embarrassing."

    And in 2010 Mr.Gates said that he intends to give most of his $61 billion fortune away rather than hand it down."That wouldn't be good either for my kids or society,"he said.
    Also during the Today interview with Matt Lauer,Mr Gates,who stepped down from Microsoft in 2008 to concentrate on philanthropy(慈善事業(yè)),said that helping others gives him the same happiness as creating software.
"What you really feel is what you've achieved.If a piece of software gets out there and lots of people love it-it lets them get their work done in better ways-that's exciting,"he explained.
Mr Gates was previously the richest man in the world,but he got shifted down a spot in 2010 after he decided to give away 28 billion to good causes.
