If the race against resistance is won by man，it is possible that ten years from now dais old evil will have disappeared completely from the America，perhaps from the world.Malaria has been successfully got. rid of in______.A. all countriesB. some countriesC. no countriesD. most countries

资料：Economic performance is improving in most of the world's leading economies but is still short of a self-sustaining upswing, the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development said on Wednesday.In an update to its economic forecasts, the Paris-based international organisation representing advanced economies said that more private sector investment was needed for the expansion to endure, for wages to rise sustainability and for inequalities to be tackled.Although all leading economies are now recording positive growth, Catherine Mann, the OECD's chief economist, urged governments to “curb your enthusiasm [ because] strong and sustained medium-term global growth is not yet secured”.The OECD's economic outlook shows upgrades to the 2017 growth forecasts in China, Russia and Europe excluding the UK with the world outlook also appearing stronger in 2018.World growth should rise from a low of 3.1 per cent in 2016, to 3.5 per cent this year and 3.7 per cent in 2018, the OECD forecast, with the US, the Eurozone, Brazil and Russia contributing most to the improved global outlook.China's predicted growth rate of 6.8 per cent in 2017 and 6.6 per cent in 2018 has been revised higher by 0.2 percentage points in both years and although India's growth rate has been revised down, reflecting adjustment to its new goods and services tax, it is likely to remain the fastest growing large economy in the world.Only the UK, which remains embroiled in Brexit negotiations, has a deteriorating outlook. Responding to the OECD's forecast that the British economy will be the slowest growing in the Group of Seven in 2018 having been near the top of the league table in 2016, the British Treasury said it was not complacent.According to OECD, （ ）.A.More efforts will be needed to ensure a sustained economic growthB.Investment from the government contributes most to the world economyC.The market is pessimistic on the world economyD.The world economy is growing rapidly and steadily

共用题干Going Back to Its BirthplaceNo sporting event takes hold of the world's attention and imagination like the Olympic Games.The football World Cup fascinates fans in Europe and South America;baseball's World Series is required viewing in North America;and the World Table Tennis Championships attracts the most interest in Asia.But the Olympics belong to the whole world.Now,after travelling to 17 countries over 108 years,the summer Games are returning to Athens,the place where the first modern Olympics was held.Participation in the Games is looked on not only as an achievement,but also as an honour. The 1 6 days between August 1 3 and 29 will see a record 202 countries compete, up from Sydney's 199.Afghanistan is back,having been banned from Sydney because the Taliban government didn't let women do sports.There is also a place for newcomers East Timor and Kiribati.A total of 10,500 athletes will compete in 28 sports,watched by 5.3 million ticket-paying viewers as well as a television audience of 4 billion.Athens is to use its rich history and culture to make the Olympics as special as possible.The Games will open with cycling events which start in front of the Parthenon and Acropolis monuments.The final event will be a historic men's marathon following the original route run by Phidippides in 490 BC to bring news of victory over the Persians.The ancient stadium at Olympia,first used for the Games nearly three centuries ago,will stage the shot put competitions.And the Panathenian Stadium,where the first modern Olympics was held,is to host the archery（射箭）events.If the well-known ancient sites deliver a great sense of history to the Games,the 39 new venues add a modern touch to the city of Athens.The main Olympic stadium,with a giant glass and steel roof, is the landmark（标志）building of the Olympics."We believe that we will organize a'magical'Games,"said Athens 2004 President Gianna Angelopoulos-Daskalaki. "Our history with the Olympic Games goes back nearly 3,000 years,and Athens 2004 could be the best ever." The World Table Tennis Championships attracts the most interest in Asian countries.A:Right B:Wrong C:Not mentioned
共用题干Benefits of Playing Games1.Why play games?Because they are fun,and have more benefits.Following the rules…planning your next move…acting as a team member…these are all"game"ideas that you will come across throughout your life.2.Think about some of the games you played as a young child,such as rope-jumping and hide-and-seek.Such games are entertaining and fun.But perhaps more importantly,they translate life into exciting dramas that teach children some of the basic rules they will be expected to follow the rest of their lives,such as taking turns and cooperating（合作）.3.Many children's games have a practical side.Children around the world play games that prepare them for work they will do as grown-ups.For instance,some Saudi Arabian children play a game called bones,which sharpens the hand-eye coordination（协调）needed in hunting.4.Many sports encourage national or local pride.The most famous games of all,the Olympic Games,bring athletes from around the world together to take part in friendly competition.People who are watching the event and waving flags know that a gold medal is a win for an entire country,not just the athlete who earned it. For countries experiencing natural disasters or war,an Olympic win can mean so much.5.Sports are also an event that unites people.Soccer is the most popular sport in the world. People on all continents play it一some for fun and some for a living. Nicolette Iribarne,a Californian soccer player,has discovered a way to spread hope through soccer. He created a foundation to provide poor children with not only soccer balls but also a promising future.6.Next time you play your favorite game or sport,think about why you enjoy it,what skills are needed,and whether these skills will help you in other aspects of your life.Through soccer a Californian soccer player has discovered a way to spread_______.A:hopeB:cooperatingC:braveD:coordinationE:grown-ups F:competition
