bright colors also contribute to our languages. on march 11, an article was published called a history of vegetable metaphors, from cool cucumbers to couch potatoes. teens has picked out three typical vegetable metaphors (比喻) used in english and explained them. take a look.two peas in a pod (豆荚)as we all know, peas grow inside pea pods. normally two peas in the same pod are nearly identical and unable to be distinguished from one another. they are the same color, size and taste, and they live side by side. so, this phrase is used to describe two similar people or items, or to refer to best friends.cool as a cucumbercool as a cucumbercucumbers are usually served uncooked, so people think of them as being cool to the touch. most cuisines (菜肴) that feature cucumbers have them as a main salad ingredient, such as the chinese cold dish, which is served with sliced (切成薄片的) cucumbers with garlic (大蒜) and vinegar. at the same time, being “cool” in english means being calm and in control. so if you are “cool as a cucumber”, it means you are as cool as that chilled-out vegetable.veg outthough similar to “couch potato”, vegging out doesnt necessarily mean watching tv or eating snacks though that is one way to veg out. the phrase generally means relaxing without any agenda (日程) or ambition. one of its first documented pop culture uses is in the us movie pretty woman from 1990, when the leading actress julia roberts suggests: “lets just watch old movies all night . well just veg out in front of the tv.”59. what is the main purpose of the article?a. to show how useful vegetables are.b. to explain three phrases related to vegetables.c. to promote a book about vegetable metaphors.d. to introduce three kinds of nutritious vegetables.60. according to the article, someone

_. a. a travel brochure b. a magazine c. a news report d. a geography textbookcdespite(尽管) what poets would like you to believe, the natural world is not always a friendly place. it is full of dangerous creatures, and some of the most dangerous are the smallest: the bacteria (细菌), viruses (病毒) and parasites (寄生虫) that kill millions of people every year. but it is possible, with a bit of luck and a lot of hard work, to turn nature against itself in order to help humans. and that is why tu youyou, an 84-year-old researcher at the china academy of traditional chinese medicine, was given the nobel prize in physiology or medicine on oct 5. she is the first chinese citizen (公民) to win a nobel prize in science.tu discovered a new drug for malaria (疟疾). the disease infects around 200 million people and make about half a million people die each year, according to the economist. tu shared the prize with irish-born william campbell and satoshi omura of japan for discovering a new drug to treat parasitic diseases.tu was originally trained in traditional chinese medicine. in the late 1960s, during the cultural revolution (1966-76), tu and her colleagues joined a government project to find a new malaria drug. they made 380 herbal extracts (草药提取物) from 200 recipes, which came from traditional chinese medical books. the team then tested them on malaria-infected mice. that was when tu became interested in an extract of a plant called sweet wormwood (qinghao).according to an ancient chinese medicine book, the qinghao plant was once used to treat malaria. however, the extract they made in the lab didnt work very well. tu thought that the effective ingredient(成分) in qinghao was being destroyed by high temperatures. so she tried to make the extract with an ether (乙醚) that has a much lower boiling point than water.in 1971, after failing more than 190 times, tu finally made an extract that was 100 percent effective against malaria parasites. the extract was called qinghaosu, later renamed artemisinin.thanks to tus hard work, artemisinin has saved millions of lives, especially in the developing world. according to the world health organization, by 2013, malaria deaths had fallen by 47 percent compared with 2000.“the discovery of artemisinin is a gift to mankind from traditional chinese medicine,” tu told the beijing news. “it has also provided humankind with powerful new means to combat (对抗) these diseases that affect hundreds of millions of people every year,” said the nobel prize committee, “and it has greatly improved human health and reduced suffering.”63. which of the following is not true according to the passage?a. the real world includes dangerous creatures, some of which are the smallest that can kill millions of people every year. b. tu shared the prize with two other scientists from ireland and japan for finding a new drug t treat parasitic diseases.c. tu finally chose to make the extract with an ether because it has a much
