The 2030 Agenda says that ending poverty in all its forms, including extreme poverty( 极度贫困), is the greatest task. Because 1.4 billion people in developing countries live on less than $1.25 a day. Another 842 million people, or one in eight people, do not have enough to eat today.

The good news is that there are ways to end poverty.

Creating jobs, both in the United States and abroad, is a great way to deal with poverty. When people have jobs, they have money, and when people have money, they can more easily get themselves out of poverty. The U.N. says that “For the poor, labor is often the only thing they can use to improve their well-being.”

The education of girls and women impacts (影响) the rest of the societies. A woman's degree of education is linked to the age at which she marries and has children, to her health and diseases. Educating girls and women can end poverty in developing nations, as well as in the United States.

The United States hasn’t raised the lowest pay since 2007. Because of this, right now, “A full-time worker with two children getting the lowest pay will still raise his or her family in poverty.” And this is a problem in almost every other country, especially in developing nations. Raising the lowest pay could possibly increase the health and well-being of millions.

The president of the World Bank, Jim Yong Kim, says that he believes “health care covering in all countries can help achieve a goal of ending extreme poverty by 2030." He says that health care could end poverty. Because about 100 million people are pushed into extreme poverty every year by having to spend money on health problems, and health problems push about another I50 million into very serious hardship.

These ways to end poverty show that while there is a difficult road ahead, there is a practical path forward.

56. How many people do not have enough to eat today?

A.100 million. B.150 million. C.842 million.

57. What is the only thing the poor can use to improve their well-being?

A. Creating. B. Labor. C. Studying.

58. The fourth paragraph mainly tells us _______________.

A. the importance of educating girls and women

B. the ways of educating girls and women

C. the time of educating girls and women

59. Who is Jim Yong Kim?

A. The President of the U.N.

B. The president of the World Bank.

C. The President of the United States.

60. How many ways to end poverty are mentioned?

A.4. B.6. C.7.

(2019·湖南株洲)第二节 回答问题（共5个小题：每小题2分，满分10分）

阅读下面的材料，然后根据材料内容回答问题。

Sometimes we throw apple remains into forests, hoping small animals around may find them. But what if they are never noticed? People believe they would rot (腐烂) one day. So it doesn't matter. Is that true?

Sure they will. But it won't happen overnight.

Marjorie Woodruff, works in the Grand Canyon, set up a small experiment. She put a banana peel(皮), orange peels in a box, wide enough to allow small animals to go in and out. After six months, the orange peels had dried out, the banana had tuned black. Nothing had been eaten or had rotted.

She buried the same things in sand and soil and six months later everything could still be seen.

In fact, it takes two months for apple remains to rot and an orange peel can take up to one year.

“Do we eat orange peels? We do not. So why would a squirrel (松鼠) eat?” Woodruff writes in High Country News. “The animals do just fine on nuts and berries. They do not need us. ”

There’s another point to think about.

When animals start to get food from people, they may stop looking for their own food in nature. This is dangerous because it may weaken their hunting ability. Besides, they need different food.

Food waste also attracts animals to areas where there are a lot of people, says the Leave No Trace organization. This may put their life in danger as they may get used to looking for food alongside busy roads. Many of them are too small to be noticed by drivers.

When you're throwing fruit remains, you may be fined (罚款) . Fines are different. Some states might only fine people $100, but a few states fine people more than $6,000 for a first time.

66. Where does Marjorie Woodruff work?

67. How long does it take for apple remains to rot?

68. Which animal is mentioned?

69. How much might you be fined at least if you throw fruit remains?

70. Why can’t we give food waste to animals?

Good morning, boys and girls!

I'm Li Hua. I'm very glad to speak here and I’d like to talk about schoolbags. I still remember my first schoolbag that was a birthday gift from my aunt. It was a beautiful large blue schoolbag. I liked it very much, because it was so large that it could hold my books, pens, notebooks and so on. Now, with the development of the science and technology, there are more and more functions and styles of schoolbags. I hope my schoolbag in the future is much smaller and more useful.

That’s all. Thank you！
