Money was tight, so there was no television set, but we owned a turntable on which my dads records played constantly. Mostly, it played Bob Dylan. Tracks from The Basement Tapes and Desire became an important part of our new life. My brother and I, aged 8 and 10, climbed trees, built hideaways and learned the words of Clothes Line Saga. We would chant over and over, lost in our own joy.It was January when my dad left us forever because of the cancer. He was 36 going on 37 then, the same age as Dylan. Afterwards, our laughter disappeared, but we kept on playing the records, which became our only ritual of remembrance. The two men became so intertwined in my head, I struggled to tell them apart.Dylan was my dads gift to me. What child wouldnt be fascinated by songs full of pirates and seasick sailors? How did it feel to have No direction home? Farewell, Angelina became my party-piece. I would sing this at church cheese and wines to the assembled audience. A lot of donations were made.Growing up, I remained a fan of the music, but I wasnt obsessed with Dylan until one day in early 1995, my brother bought us both tickets to see him play at Brixton Academy. London felt like a long way to go. But finally seeing Dylan step out onto the stage brought a sudden rush of excitement.I have seen Dylan a couple of times since. My brother is not around so much these days. But he was up for a visit recently. We passed a happy evening laughing and drinking, while his son, aged nine, performed his party-piece Subterranean Homesick Blues for us. He sang it word-perfect. And so it goes on: Dylans music as a gift, passed down the generations.24. Whats the authors purposed of writing the passage?A. To praise his late father. B. To tell about his family history.C. To express his longing for family reunion. D. To show his love for Bob Dylan.25. The underlined word “ritual” in the second paragraph means “_”.A. passion B. ceremony C. memory D. belief26.

Subterranean Homesick Blues is always his favourite songCWork started this week on next seasons flu vaccine (疫苗), with experts working off forecasts about which types of the flu virus will be making the rounds. But dont expect any improvements. Flu experts are already admitting that most vaccines will give at best basic protection, because theyre based on old-fashioned technology. Its not a new problem, but one that the slow-moving world of drug and vaccine production seems helpless to improve upon.Every flu vaccine is a cocktail, aimed at either three or four of the most common flu types. Flu vaccines must be reformulated every year, because flu viruses develop constantly in a process called antigenic drift. In February, global flu experts gather to trade notes on what viruses are circulating in different countries and to come to an agreement on which types the next vaccines should be formulated to target.In recent years, flu vaccines have been based on H1N1, H3N2 and either one or two types of influenza B virus. Each of these has a “reference” type, which is used to make seed virus. Producers inject the seed types into eggs and incubate (孵) them as the virus grows. Then they purify the virus, and either weaken it or kill it to make a vaccine.Using eggs is a tricky and unpredictable process. Sometimes the virus doesnt grow well in eggs, which can mean less vaccine than expected. The result is a flu vaccine that doesnt offer much protection. “As long as we have eggs we are going to have this problem,” said Scott Hensley, a flu virus expert, “The only solution is not to depend on eggs.”Flu is a major killer. The 2017-2018 season has been a severe one, hitting the entire U.S. with widespread influenza infection (传染) at once for weeks on end, and killing 97 children so far. Against this threat, even a less satisfying flu vaccine will definitely help. “Even when you have these mismatches it will not prevent infection but likely prevent disease severity,” said Hensley.28. Why does next season flu vaccine fail to improve?A. It has offered the best protection.B. Experts cant forecast the flu types.C. It is based on outdated technology.D. Experts are unwilling to respond to changes.29. According to Paragraph 2, what do flu experts do in February?A. Exchange views on the virus types next season.B. Get together and make a deal on vaccines.C. Sign an agreement on vaccine production.D. Decide on how to circulate the viruses.30. What might be the risk of using eggs to make vaccines?A. Seeds are less likely to get protection.B. Viruses might not be developed as expected.C. There are not enough eggs to be used.D. Whether vaccines will grow is hard to predict.31. What message does the underlined sentence convey?A. The U.S. is faced with serious flu attacks.B. Egg-based vaccines are better than nothing.C. There is something wrong with flu vaccines.D. Flu vaccines can stop the disease spreading.DIf youre a book lover, you have a pile of books on your bedside, or a bookshelf in your library with a “to read” sign on it. Yet you cant stop yourself from adding to the pile. This can lead to feelings of guilt over your new purchases. But Im here to tell you to stop worrying.What you have is an antilibrary, and its a very good thing. The term comes from writer Umberto Eco. He is the owner of a large personal library. He separates visitors into two groups: those who react with “Wow! What a library you have! How many of these books have you read?” and the others who get the point that a private library is not something to show off but a research tool. Read books are far less valuable than unread ones. Indeed, the more you know, the larger the rows of unread books. Let us call this collection an antilibrary.If you think you already know everything about a subject, youre cutting yourself off from a stream of information at an artificial point. So a growing library of books you havent read means youre consistently curious about the unknown. And that attitude is a great foundation for a lifelong love of learning.So dont feel guilt over your unread books. Those books will be there for you when you do want them, and as you build your library of read and unread books, you can start using it as you would use a bigger library. Certain books may become references more than read-throughs. Or you may find that a book you bought five years ago has special relevance today. Letting the role of books evolve in your life is a healthy sign of curiosity. Thats good for you and good for the world around you.32. What does the underlined word “antilibrary” in Paragraph 2 refer to?A. Feelings of guilt over new booksB. A pile of books on the bookshelfC. The collection of unread booksD. A large personal library33. According to the author, more unread books mean_A. your wrong lifelong learning attitudeB. you limit yourself from the unknownC. you have no interest in the new worldD. your strong desire about new information34. Whats the authors attitude towards having an antilibrary?A. Favorable B. Doubtful C. Ambiguous D. Contradictory35. What can we know from the last paragraph?A. Curiosity is a sign of high IQB. Books are the ladder in our lifeC. Unread books are surely relevant to the presentD. We should read through every book第二节（共5 小题；每小题2分，满分10 分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。Alcohol addiction is harmful. It may ruin your life, family and career.
