Apart from a few Indian novels and an Australian book, my literature collection only consisted of

25、 British and American titles. Worse still, I couldnt ever find anything in translation. My reading was limited to stories by English-speaking authors.So, at the start of 2012, I set myself the challenge of trying to read a book from every country in a year to find out what I was missing.With no idea

26、 where to get those books, I was unlikely to find publications from nearly 200 nations on the shelves of my local bookshop, so I decided to ask the readers all over the world for help. I created a blog called A Year of Reading the World and put out an appeal for suggestions of titles that I could re

27、ad in English.The response was amazing. People all over the world were getting in touch with me, offering ideas and book lists. Some posted me books from their home countries. In addition, several writers, like Turkmenistans Ak Welsapar and Panamas Juan David Morgan, sent me unpublished translations

28、 of their novels, giving me a rare opportunity to read works unavailable in Britain. Even with such an extraordinary team of bibliophiles(爱书者) behind me, however, sourcing books was no easy task. With translations making up only around 4.5 per cent of literary works published in the UK, getting Engl

29、ish versions of stories was tricky.One by one, the books from the countries on the list filled my heart with laughter, love, anger, hope and fear. Lands that had once seemed exotic and remote became close and familiar to me. At its best, I learned, reading makes the world real.51. The author realize

30、d she was not a learned person when she found _.A. she could do nothing but read booksB. she had never been to Indian and AustralianC. she didnt have any translated books.D. she could only read simple English stories52. What was the challenge the author set for herself?A. Reading books from nearly 2

31、00 countries in a year.B. Creating a blog to offer help to other readers.C. Looking for publications to publish her own books.D. Giving some suggestions on learning English.53. It was not easy to find the books mainly because _.A. there were too few translations in the UKB. the readers were unwillin

32、g to offer helpC. the author had no time and no chance to do itD. the writers didnt want to publish their books54. We can infer that by reading the books from other countries, the author feels _.A. bored and regretfulB. thankful and pitifulC. calm and peaceful D. satisfied and rewardedBThe adder（蝰蛇）

33、is the only poisonous snake native to Britain. Adders have the most highly developed poison injecting mechanism of all snakes, but they are not aggressive animals. Adders will only use their poison as a last means of defence, usually if caught or trodden on. No one has died from adder bites in Brita

34、in for over 20 years. By far the most common snake in Britain is the adder. In Scotland, in fact, there are no other snakes at all. The adder is also the only British snake with a poisonous bite. It can be found almost anywhere, but it prefers sunny hillsides and rough open country, including high l

35、ands. In Ireland there are no snakes at all.Most people regard snake bites as a fatal misfortune, but not all bites are serious, and very few are fatal . Sometimes attempts at emergency treatment turn out to be more dangerous than the bite itself, with amateurs heroically, but mistakenly, trying do-

36、it-yourself surgery and other unnecessary measures.All snakes have small teeth, so it follows the tall snakes can bite, but only the bite of the adder presents any danger. British snakes are shy animals and are far more frightened of you than you could possibly be of them. The adder will attack only

37、 if it feels threatened, as can happen if you take it by surprise and step on it accidentally, or if you try to catch it or pick it up, which it dislikes intensely. If it hears you coming, it will normally get out of the way as quickly as it can, but adders cannot movevery rapidly and may attack bef

38、ore moving if you are very close.The effect of a bite varies considerably. It depends upon several things, one of which is the body-weight of the person bitten. The heavier the person is, the less harmful the bite is likely to be, which is why children suffer far more seriously from snake bites in B

39、ritain , andpeople think these bites can make some people very ill, and there are probably just as many cases of bites having little or no effect, as there are of serious illness.55. What does the underlined phrase “ trodden on” probably mean?A. Found out B. Heard from C. Stepped on. D. Robbed of.56

40、. Where are adders to be found?A. In fertile fields in Scotland.B. On wild land throughout Britain.C. In many parts of Britain and Ireland.D. Everywhere in Britain except Scotland57. What should you do if you are with someone who is bitten by an adder?A. Catch the biting adder at once.B. Dont worry

41、about the bitten person.C. Dont try to treat the bite by yourself.D. Operate on the person as soon as possible.58. Whats the best title of the passage?A. Poisonous SnakesB. Adders in BritainC. Take Care of Snake BitesD. Protect Endangered AddersCThe largest outbreak of the deadly disease Ebola(埃博拉)

42、was caused by an infected bat biting a toddler, say a group of international researchers.The 17-strong team of European and African tropical disease researchers, ecologists and anthropologists have spent three weeks investigating the outbreak of the disease in Guinea, Liberia, Ivory Coast and Nigeri

43、a.The researchers captured the bats and other creatures near the village of Meliandoua in remote eastern Guinea, where the present epidemic（流行病）began in December 2013.The boy was bitten and passed the infection on to his mother and both were dead within a week. The disease was then spread far and wi

44、de by mourners who came to the funeral.Scientists have long believed that bats are the main carriers for the disease but it is rare for them to pass it on to man. Most of the previous outbreaks have been caused by meat from dead infected animals collected by hunters who then sell it on. Fruit bats,

45、however, are widely eaten in rural west Africa either smoked, grilled or in a spicy soup.Initial research believed that a new strain(类型) of Ebola had emerged in west Africa but according to Herr Leendertz, the strain of the disease is one related to as Zaire Ebola virus, identified more than 10 year

46、s ago in the Congo.Herr Leendertzs team believe that an infected straw-colored fruit bat brought the disease to Guinea. The mammals are known to travel long distances and usually settle in forests near cities.More than 1,300 people have died in the current epidemic, many in Liberia. Herr Leendertz s

47、aid: We spent eight days in Meliandoua. They told us they regularly catch bats, like every other village in Guinea, Sierra Leone and Liberia. The evidence is not 100 percent and we can only say that it is possible.They can travel far in one night. I dont think an individual bat or colony migrated al

48、l the way from Congo or Gabon to west Africa. These big colonies are connected. There is a possibility for the virus to mix between colonies. The bats share the same fruit. It is likely not to have even been one species of bat. The virus may jump from one species to another.If the bat theory confirm

49、ed, locals would try to destroy the colonies which says Herr Leendertz would be an ecological disaster because bats pollinate plants and devour insects. And bat hunts would also only increase human contact with potentially infected animals59The present epidemic of Ebola began in .ALiberiaBGuineaCNig

50、eriaDCongo60According to the passage, we can learn .AThe first victim of present Ebola was a toddler from Liberia.B. The research thought the new strain of Ebola must have emerged in west Africa. CZaire Ebola virus ever identified in Congo might be the strain of this outbreak.DMore than 1300 people

51、in Liberia have died in the current epidemic.61The possible reason for the outbreak of Ebola in December of 2013 was that .AHuman beings ate meat from dead infected animals.BThe birds spread the virus to human beings.CA boy bitten by an infected bat transmitted the disease.DThe species spread the vi

52、rus from one to another .62If the bat theory confirmed, we may find in Africa .AThe fruit bats can be seen everywhere as usual.BThere is a chance that the ecosystem will lose its balance .CIts easy to find the smoked and grilled fruit bats.DEbola epidemic will be controlled after bats are wiped out.

53、DMany years ago, I went through a tough time. One afternoon, I picked my girls up. It was late when we returned home. I went to unlock the door and found my key wouldnt go in. I kept trying while my daughter went to get a flashlight. When she returned with it, we found somehow the lock had been “stu

54、ffed” with sunflower seed shells. Thinking that one of the neighborhood children had been up to no good, I really didnt give it much consideration.I found all windows were locked up tight. So I returned to the back door. Oh my God, I will never forget the shock of that moment. The house was empty! O

55、ther than a few things remaining on the back porch, everything was gone! Then I heard a car pull into the driveway and found two policemen walking up. They inquired why I had broken into the house. They then asked me for proof that I lived at that address, so I asked them to wait a minute while I we

56、nt to get my rent receipt and identification from inside the house. I explained the matter to them and showed them the door lock.At this point they were not buying any of my story. I could tell from their actions and tone of voice that they thought I was breaking into an empty house for somewhere to

57、 sleep.I asked a neighbor for the phone number of house owner and the officer made a call. The owner was quite shocked to hear my story. She said that my roommate had been going through an eviction(驱逐) process with the court when I moved in with her and had lost the case. She had been ordered to mov

58、e by 10 am on that date. The court order had been issued the same day I had paid her 1/2 of the rent and a deposit of $300,000.The owner was very kind and understanding but there was nothing she could do. The house had been rented already and the people were to move in the following weekend.The offi

59、cers let me go and I went to gather my girls into the car. They were both exhausted and cold, also very frightened, because they thought their mamma was going to jail. I had to pull over because the tears took control. I couldnt believe it! Everything we owned was gone, I had used up all our money m

60、oving in and paying my “friend” our share of costs. I knew very few people in town, as we had just moved there recently.I went to sit back in the car with the girls, I talked to the girls, explaining our situation to them so that they wouldnt be afraid. During this time there was a “street person” w

61、ith a bag, looking in the garbage for cans, bottles, and anything that might bring him some cash. But I didnt pay much attention to him. I decided to get the girls something to eat for breakfast. We grabbed some bread, and chips and returned for a “picnic”. When we got there, I noticed that the man

62、was not alone. He was with a small group of others like him and they were passing a hat amongst themselves.I was busy setting up our little “picnic” when I heard a voice saying, “MaAm, please excuse butwellI overheard the situation you are in, and well I and the fellows took up a collection for you

63、and your little girls. Its not very much, but maybe itll help a little.” I looked up at this man-dirty, needing a shave -and saw the face of an angel. I started crying. The man tried to hand me $30. I folded his hand back over the money and just hugged him as tight as I could. I told him, “Thank you

64、 for your more than generous offer, but we are going to be just fine.” He didnt believe me at first, but I convinced him that it was okay.Later that afternoon I went to the market and bought the making for a barbecue and off to that little park. It didnt take us very long to find those gentlemen and

65、 invite them to join us for lunch. I had a wonderful afternoon that day, sitting there with those old guys, singing songs. They had some of the most entertaining stories and they shared the dreams they once had. They shared themselves from the heart.63. The writer couldnt open the door because _.A.

69、n wanted to get the rent receipt.EAre you competitive enough to make it in America? There is an undeniable excitement about coming to study in the US, but its not all excitement.Yes, it is America; it is the land of freedom; its the place where different cultures clash . and live together in peace.

70、However, you guys might agree with me. its not easy to leave home and the security of family, friends and people who love and care about us. And doing it raises some questions:Is it worth it? Are you equal to the challenge? You might be sitting in front of your computer watching a documentary about

71、America, which shows you the breathtaking views of skyscrapers in New York, the beautiful warm weather in San Diego, and the huge parties along the beaches of the Sunshine State, Florida.Just as you know, its all true. I remember how my heart was racing the first time I visited Times Square in New Y

72、ork. I cant find any words in the dictionary to describe how I felt at that moment.

73、 other places. Yes, there is the traditional A, B, C, and D grading system, and you get to be on the Deans List if you have all As on your transcript. However, these grades dont just come from your test performances. The requirements of classes in the US are much more varied and this is the biggest

74、adjustment that overseas students have to manage.Some have papers that you have to write every week; others have group projects you must do with your classmates, presentations you make in the class, or research you do by yourself to prove your own idea. There comes a night when you have a couple of

75、projects for different classes, a paper, and an exam to study for. And that night you ask yourself, “What did I get myself into？”Im not trying to intimidate you, but you should know what it really is like to study in the States. One thing I can promise you is that it is worth all the hard work you p
