Question

When we think about giving help to developing countries, we often think about giving money so that these countries can build schools and hospitals, buy food and medicine, or find clean water supplies. These seem to be the most important basic needs of the people we are trying to help. However, it's far from enough. Ladies and gentlemen, we've got to come up with some better ideas to help them.
I was very surprised, then, when I read about a plan to make cheap laptop computers for children in developing countries. A man called Nicholas Negroponte invented a cheap laptop computer and he planed to produce a lot and sell them to the children in developing countries at a low price after he visited a school in Cambodia. The laptop will be covered in rubber so that it is very strong and won't be damaged easily. The idea is that these computers will help the children's education as they will be able to surf the Internet. 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 recycle them. In this way we will be able 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.

Answer 1

【小题1】A
【小题2】D
【小题3】C

解析试题分析：本文就如何帮助发展中国家，而提出一些意见，不是以前的捐助钱、衣服或财务之类的做法，文中以Nicholas Negroponte帮助发展中国家为例进行了论述，他生产了大量的手提电脑，以非常便宜的价格卖给了发展中国家，让孩子用上电脑，为了他们国家的长远教育。另一种方法，把废旧的手机收上来，再加以利用，既减少了垃圾，又是非常环保的举动。
【小题1】这是细节理解题。根据We will reduce the waste we produce and help others.既能减少垃圾又能帮助别人，故选A。
【小题2】这是细节理解题。根据I was very surprised, then, when I read about a plan to make cheap laptop computers for children in developing countries. 如何帮助发展中国家，故选D。
【小题3】这是文章出处题。根据Ladies and gentlemen, we've got to come up with some better ideas to help them.这里只有作报告时，才会出现称呼的词，故选C。
考点：这是一篇议论文。
