I was very curious when I arrived in London. First, I noticed so many people were on a trip in a busy way. When I first saw the machine on the underground where you are expected to feed your ticket in and have to run through moving barriers (拦板), I was completely fascinated (被迷住了) at it. Flashing with the light, the little green man, telling you when to cross the road, was also quite interesting, and so were those street advertisements which kept changing subjects as you look. In my native place, my life is so different from peoples here. I am a market gardener from Makono, a village which is led by a market-managing group. People there usually walk two hours a day to get water from a well. Whats more, I am used to going, for many hours, without drinking, so it was strange to be offered cups of tea all the time here in London. In my native place, on market days, I usually walk for several hours with my basket full of fruits and vegetables on my head, carrying them to the market for sale, to earn 1 per basket. Without the produce from my garden, I could not pay for education or healthcare for my children. Gardening is not a hobby for me its survival. But here people are planting something only to kill their leisure time. During our visiting-time in Britain, we visited some local government agencies, schools, churches and farms in Sussex, Scotland, Yorshire, Loncolnshire and Cambridgeshire, meeting people who were of the same profession as we are. Children in Burley-in-Wharfedale, Yorkshire, prepared a special get-together to greet us and we were also asked a lot about our life which was quite fascinating to them. For example, how we make our houses out of mud and how we get our water for our daily necessities, as well as for our garden. 46. What can we learn from Paragraph One?A. The writer knew London well.B. Londoners are always in a hurry.C. It was easy to get lost in London.D. Everything looked new to the writer.47. The most disadvantage in the writers native place should be that _ .A. there are many market-managing groups for gardenersB. the lack of water makes the life there even harderC. people there like to travel about on foot for enjoymentD. people support themselves using the garden produce48. The underlined word “ survival” has the most exact meaning of _ .A. a means of earning ones lifeB. a habit to live a better life C. a kind of very practical ideaD. a custom followed by people49. Which of the following should be the best title?A. How to Get around in LondonB. Communicating with the British C. Experiencing Modern LifeD. How Can One Live Leisurely(休闲地)BSometimes youll hear people say that you cant love others until you love yourself. Sometimes youll hear people say that you cant expect someone else to love you until you love yourself. Either way, youve got to love yourself first and this can be tricky. Sure we all know that were the apple of our parents eyes, and that our Grandmas think were great talents and our Uncle Roberts think that we will go to the Olympics. But sometimes its a lot harder to think such nice thoughts about ourselves. If you find that believing in yourself is a challenge. It is time you built a positive self-image and learn to love yourself.Self-image is your own minds picture of yourself. This image includes the way you look, the way you act, the way you talk and the way you think. Interestingly, our self-images are often quite different from the images others hold about us. Unfortunately, most of these images are more negative than they should be. Thus changing the way you think about yourself is the key to changing your self-image and your whole world.The best way to defeat a passive self-image is to step back and decide to stress your successes. That is, make a list of you need to, but write down all of the great things you do every day. Dont allow doubts to occur in it.It very well might be that you are experiencing a negative self-image because you cant move past one flaw or weakness that you see about yourself. Well, roll up your sleeves and make a change of it as your primary task. If you think youre silly because you arent good at math, find a tutor. If you think youre weak because you cant run a mile, get to the track and practice. If you think youre dull because you think it doesnt mean its true.The best way to get rid of a negative self-image is to realize that your image is far from objective, and to actively convince yourself of your positive qualities. Changing the way you think and working on those you need to improve will go a long way towards promoting a positive self-image. When you can pat（拍）yourself on the back, youll know youre well on your way. Good luck!50. You need to build a positive self-image when you .A. dare to challenge yourselfB. feel it hard to change yourselfC. are unconfident about yourself D. have a high opinion of yourself51. How should you change your self-image according to the passage?A. To keep a different image of others.B. To accept your weaknesses.C. To understand your own world. D. To change the way you think.52. What is the passage mainly about?A. How to prepare for your success.B. How to face challenges in your life.C. How to build a positive self-image.D. How to develop your good qualities.CUnlike chemists and physicists, who usually do their experiments using machines, biologists and medical researchers have to use living things like rats. But there are three Nobel prize-winning scientists who actually chose to experiment on themselves all in the name of science, reported The Telegraph. Werner Forssmann (Nobel prize winner in 1956)Forssmann was a German scientist. He studied how to put a pipe inside the heart to measure the pressure inside and decide whether a patient needs surgery (手术).Experiments had been done on horses before, so he wanted to try with human patients. But it was not permitted because the experiment was considered too dangerous.Not giving up, Forssmann decided to experiment on himself. He anaesthetized (麻醉) his own arm and made a cut, putting the pipe 30 centimeters into his vein (血管). He then climbed two floors to the X-ray room before pushing the pipe all the way into his heart. Barry Marshall (Nobel prize winner in 2005)Most doctors in the mid-20th century believed that gastritis was down to stress, spicy food or an unusually large amount of stomach acid (胃酸). But in 1979 an Australian scientist named Robin Warren found that the disease might be related to a bacteria (细菌) called Helicobacter pylori. So he teamed up with his colleague, Barry Marshall, to continue the study. When their request to experiment on patients was denied, Marshall bravely drank some of the bacteria. Five days later, he lost his appetite and soon was vomiting (呕吐) each morning he indeed had gastritis. Ralph Steinman (Nobel prize winner in 2011)This Canadian scientist discovered a new type of immune system cell (免疫细胞) called the dendritic cell. He believed that it had the ability to fight against cancer.Steinman knew he couldnt yet use his method to treat patients. So in 2007, when doctors told him that he had cancer and that it was unlikely for him to live longer than a year, he saw an opportunity.With the help of his colleagues, he gave himself three different vaccines (疫苗) based on his research and a total of eight experimental therapies (疗法). Even though Steinman eventually died from his cancer, he lived four and a half years, much longer than doctors had said he would.53. The main purpose of the article is to _.A. list some famous Nobel Prize winners.B. introduce a few Nobel Prize winners who did experiments on themselves.C. describe some dangerous experiments that Nobel prize-winners did on themselves.D. list some difficulties that scientists go through to make important discoveries in biology.54. Which of the following is TRUE according to the article?A. Forssmanns experiment ended in failure.B. Forssmann had the pipe pushed all the way into his heart.C. Barry Marshall succeeded by drinking some Helicobacter pylori.D. Barry Marshall was given full responsibility for the study on gastritis at first.55. The underlined word “gastritis” in Paragraph 5 probably means _.A. a kind of stomach diseaseB. a kind of immune cellC. a new type of therapyD. a type of leg cancer56. From the text, we can conclude that Ralph Steinman _.A. had his request to experiment on patients denied B. believed that cancer comes from stress and spicy foodC. discovered a new type of cancer cell called the dendritic cellD. tried different therapies containing the dendritic cell on himselfDThey were going to Fort Lauderdale three boys and three girls and when they boarded the bus, they were carrying sandwiches and wine in paper bags, dreaming of golden beaches and sea tides as the gray, cold spring of New York went behind them.As the bus passed through New Jersey, they began to notice Vingo. He sat in front of them, completely in silence.Deep into the night, outside Washington, the bus pulled into Howard Johnsons, and everybody got off except Vingo. The young people began to wonder about him. When they went back to the bus, one of the girls sat beside him and introduced herself. “Want some wine?” she said. He smiled and took a swig from the bottle. He thanked her and became silent again. After a while, she went back to the others, and Vingo nodded in sleep.In the morning, they awoke outside another Howard Johnsons, and this time Vingo went in. The girl insisted that he join them. He ordered black coffee and some cookies as the young people talked about sleeping on beaches. When they returned to the bus, the girl sat with Vingo again, and after a while, slowly and painfully, he began to tell his story. He had been in prison in New York for the past four years, and now he was going home.“Are you married?”“I dont know.”“You dont know?” she said.“Well, when I was in prison I wrote to my wife,” he said, “I told her that I was going to be away for a long time, and that if she couldnt stand it, if the kids kept asking questions, and if it hurt her too much, well, she could just forget me. Id understand. Get a new man, I said shes a wonderful woman. I told her she didnt have to write me. And she didnt. Not for three and a half years.”“And youre going home now, not knowing?”“Yeah. Well, last week, when I was sure the parole (假释) was coming through, I wrote her again. We used to live in Brunswick, just before Jacksonville, and theres a big oak (橡树) just as you come into town. I told her that if she didnt have a new man and if shed take me back, she should put a yellow handkerchief on the tree, and Id get off and come home. If she didnt want me, forget it no handkerchief and Id go on through.”“Wow,” the girl exclaimed, “Wow.”She told the others, and soon all of them were in it, looking at the pictures Vingo showed them of his wife and three children.Now t
