Question

18．The world's richest man might seem to have it all，but Bill Gates has one regret．The self-made billionaire said he felt stupid for not knowing any foreign languages．
Speaking in his third Ask Me Anything question-and-answer session for online forum Reddit（红迪网），the Microsoft founder said that he wished he spoke French，Arabic or Chinese．
He said："I took Latin and Greek in high school and got A's and I guess it helps my vocabulary．I keep hoping to get time to study one of these-probably French because it is the easiest．I did Duolingo for a while but didn't keep it up．"
Gates，who is worth 79.3dollars billion，praised Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg for surprising an audience in Beijing when he spoke fluent Chinese．"Mark Zuckerberg amazingly leamed Chinese and did a Q&A with Chinese students-unbelievable，isn't it？"he said．
This isn't the first time for Gates to admit his regret over language．He also showed his habits at home and personal insights．
Last February，Gates said he likes to do the dishes himself-to his own special standards every night and also told the interviewer that his wife，Melinda，would likely want Samuel L．Jackson to play her husband in a biopic（传记片）．
He also admitted that he would pick up a $100 bill if he found it on the street．
As he took the top spot on Forbes（福布斯）28th Annual Billionaires list last year for the fourth time，he said he is pretty basic when it comes to so ending on clothes and food，but that he enjoys investing in shoes and racquets（球拍）when he plays tennis．
When asked a life lesson he had to learn the hard way，the billionaire said staying up too late is a habit he is still trying to break．‘‘Don't stay up too late even if the book is really exciting．You will regret it in the morning．Pam still working on this problem，"he said．

Answer 1

分析 文章大意：本文讲述的是世界最有钱的人似乎拥有了一切，但比尔盖茨有一个遗憾．他说他为不知道外语而感觉愚蠢．他希望自己会说法语，阿拉伯语和汉语，他认为Mark Zuckerberg（扎克伯格）会说流利的汉语简直是不可思议．他还希望会自己烧饭．这位亿万富翁给人们一个建议--不要熬夜．

解答 28．C 主旨大意题．根据第一段第一句The world's richest man might seem to have it all，but Bill Gates has one regret．世界最有钱的人似乎拥有了一切，但比尔盖茨有一个遗憾．故选C．29．C 词义猜测题．根据第八段中的he said he is pretty basic when it comes to so ending on clothes and food，but that he enjoys investing in shoes and racquets（球拍）when he plays tennis．当谈到在衣服和食物上所花费的时候他说他是相当基础，但是当他打网球的时候他喜欢在鞋和球拍上投资．因此可知他在食物和衣服上花费的不多，故选C．
30．A 细节理解题．根据最后一段第二句Don't stay up too late even if the book is really exciting．不要熬夜太晚，即使书真的很令人兴奋．故选A．
31．C  推理判断题．根据文章第三段内容可知，Gates学习拉丁文和希腊文，并且得A，所以可以推知Gates在中学时擅长学习语言．因此选C．
