glasses, nor had i dined with a never-before-met companion. this blind date was quite different: we could see nothing. put your left hand on my shoulder, and then well take small steps forward, said michael, the visually impaired(视力障碍的) server, in an east london accent. we three felt our way carefully bumping past heavy curtains before being arranged at the dining table, where we would eat and drink three completely secret and unseen courses.welcome to alchemy in the dark, hong kongs first full-time restaurant in total darkness. upon arrival, diners briefly tell the chef on their allergies(过敏性反应), lock away their mobile phones and enter the windowless restaurant, which can seat 25. when the meal is over, the contents of the delicious menu are shown - often to the diners surprise. this is definitely duck, my friend said, while eating chicken. this soup, i declared, is carrot and coriander. even the too-close smell did not reveal the real tomato and cumin flavors. dining in the dark changes everything: the sense of smell is heightened, manners go out of the window -using your hands to feel around the plate becomes normal- and there is a strange thrill in being able to ignore your facial expressions. best of all? you dont have to spend hours beforehand(事先) wondering what to wear.alchemy in the dark is at 16 arbuthnot road, central, (tel: 6821 2801) and is open monday to saturday, from 7pm to 11pm. reservations are required. a three-course meal with wine pairing costs hk$700 per person. five per cent of all profits go to the hong kong society for the blind.21how did the author and her companion arrive at their dining table?a. by using a mapb. by being ledc. by feeling their way.d. by finding it by themselves22according to passage, which of the following is true?a. the diners might eat what they are allergic to.b. the author enjoyed a special lunch at alchemy in the dark.c. the restaurant donated some money to the h. k society for the blind.d. the diners arent allowed to take phones to the restaurant at any time.23from the passage we can learn that the author _.a. had the table bookedb. shared the meal with a friend.c. practiced how to eat in total darkness.d. chose her clothes in advance for the meal.24the last paragraph is intended to _.a. present some facts about eating in the dark.b. inform what to do at alchemy in the darkc. conclude the experience of eating at alchemy in the dark.d. provide some information about alchemy in the dark.i was blind, but i was ashamed of it if it was known. i refused to use a white stick and hated asking for help. after all, i was a teenage girl, and i couldnt bear people to look at me and think i was not like them. i must have been a terrible danger on the roads. coming across me wandering through the traffic, motorists probably would have to stop rapidly on their brakes. apart from that, there were all sorts of disasters that used to occur on the way to and from work.one evening, i got off the bus about halfway home where i had to change buses, and as usual i ran into something. “im awfully sorry,” i said and stepped forward only to run into it again. when it happened a third time, i realized i had been apologizing to a lamppost. this was just one of the stupid things that constantly happened to me. so i carried on and found the bus stop, which was a request stop, where the bus wouldnt stop unless passengers wanted to get on or off. no one else was there and i had to guess if the bus had arrived.generally in this situation, because i hated showing i was blind by asking for help, i tried to guess at the sound. sometimes i would stop a big lorry and stand there feeling stupid as it drew away. in the end, i usually managed to swallow my pride and ask someone at the stop for help.but at this particular evening no one joined me at the stop; it seemed that everyone had suddenly decided not to travel by bus. of course i heard plenty of buses pass, or i thought i did. but because i had given up stopping them for fear of making a fool of myself, i let them all go by. i stood there alone for half an hour without stopping one. then i gave up. i decided to walk on to the next stop.25the girl refused to ask for help because she thought_.a. she might be recognizedb. asking for help looked sillyc. she was normal and independentd. being found blind was embarrassing26after the girl got off the bus that evening, she_.a. began to runb. hit a person as usualc. hit a lamppost by accidentd. was caught by something27what was the problem with guessing at the sound to stop a bus?a. other vehicles also stopped there.b. it was unreliable for making judgments.c. more lorries than buses responded to the girl.d. it took too much time for the girl to catch the bus.28finally the girl decided to walk to the next stop, hoping_.a. to find people thereb. to find more buses therec. to find the bus by herself thered. to find people more helpful therethe

route to the honour has been anything but traditional. in china, she is being called the three nos winner: no medical degree, no doctorate, and shes never worked overseas.in 1967, malaria, a then deadly disease, spread by mosquitoes was decimating chinese soldiers fighting americans in the jungles of northern vietnam. a secret research unit “mission 523 “was formed to find a cure for the illness. two years later, tu youyou was instructed to become the new head of “mission 523”.“mission523” read ancient books carefully for a long time to find historical methods of fighting malaria. when she started her search for an anti-malarial drug, more than 240,000 compounds(化合物) around the world had already been tested, without any success. finally, the team found a brief reference to one substance, sweet wormwood（青蒿）, which had been used to treat malaria in china around 400 ad. the team took out one active compound in wormwood, and then tested it. but nothing was effective until tu youyou returned to the original ancient text. after another careful reading, she changed the drug recipe one final time, heating the compound without allowing it to reach boiling point.after the drug showed promising results in mice and monkeys, tu youyou volunteered to be the first human recipient of the new drug. “in any case, tu youyou is consistently praised for her drive and passion. one former colleague. lianda li, says ms tu is “unsociable and quite straightforward”, adding that “if she disagrees with something, she will say it.”another colleague, fuming liao, who has worked with tu youyou for more than 40 years, describes her as a “tough and stubborn woman”. stubborn enough to spend decades piecing together ancient texts, she applies them to modern scientific practices. the result has saved millions of lives.32according to para. i, we can learn that_.a. tu is the first woman to win a nobel prizeb. tu has a medical degreec. tus road to success is not traditionald. tu discovered a cure for malaria33 the underlined word “decimating” can be replaced by_.a. encouraging b. killingc. annoying d. benefiting34 which of the following statements is true?a. tu first invented
