Its part of a “keep-myself-busy” plan. I am self-employed. Well, I have lost my job. So, the yard needs attention. While cleaning up a corner of the yard, I found a tiny bottle. Its about two inches high and a half inch thick. It looks like it has a cork (软木塞）in the top, but I think perhaps it was a glass stopper, like one in a perfume bottle.Then, my mind begins to play with all kinds of possibilities. I wonder who it belonged to and where it camefrom. Was it a gift from a young man to his sweetheart? I show it to my neighbor and challenge him with the idea. “Its junk (废物)！ Look! Theres a piece broken on the top. I threw it out,” he concludes.But its not junk to me. Its still useful. I like seeing it as a gift. Not only the imagined one from a guy to his girl but the gift I am given just because I have found it. It can still hold something. Ill find a small cork and add a little colored water to it.When I hold it, I imagine the hand that has thrown it away. Junk? The slight damage doesnt mean it has lost its function. It is just like me: Ive been damaged, broken, but I am still useful. God picked me up out of the garbage pile, dusted me off and found something new I could do. Perhaps writing was the thing I was meant to do all%along. Maybe, just maybe, I needed to be broken and thrown away in order to fulfill His plans for me.36.The writer has been working in his backyard recently mainly .A. to kill his timeB. to prepare for his new jobC. to take better care of his yardD. to save money for himself37.What would the writer most probably think of his neighbor?A.He is a stupid person to drop something still useful.B.He is rich enough to throw away whatever he dislikes.C.He could have found a new use for the bottle.D.He shouldnt have thrown garbage into his backyard.38.The writer would think that .A.if he had worked harder he would not have lost his jobB.he did his job well so it was unfair for his boss to dismiss himC.God would find him a new job to protect the environmentD.it was not so bad to lose the job because it was not meant for him39.What might be the best title of the passage?A.Never Throwing away a Tiny BottleB. In the Right HandsC.How to Find New Use for JunkD.

It will be presented by Keith DAngelo.C.It will be held all month long.D. Some participants can receive a gift.CBy the journeys end, I will not be the man I am today. Africa will have changed me in ways I cant predict, perhaps in ways profound, perhaps only superficial, perhaps I will lose a few pounds, perhaps the arrogance in my walk, perhaps my walk, even my way of looking at things, will be a little more African. But for now, I am different. I am not one of these Africans. Not yet, and may not ever be. The color of my skin says that I could beAlgerian or Senegalese or from Chad. But the Tunisian eyes that watch me can see that I at least am not from Tunisia. They know I am not one of them, but they do not know where I come from.The whole of Africa lies before me and I have no plan, no travel plan. It might be better if I were searching for some three-legged zebra, for at least I would know when I found it. Without a plan, without a goal, a traveler is at the mercy of the road. Traveling overland is not like traveling on a river. The river has a beginning. It has an end. The path, though not straight, is defined. Not so traveling overland. The prospects (前景)，like the possibilities and promises of life, are endless and varied.An old man asks, “Where in Tunisia do you want to go?”I have no idea. It isnt always the getting there that is important. Sometimes its just the going. “Go to Sousse.” he tells me. “Go to Sfax.”I have been feeling my way through town, searching the brown eyes of Arabs for some sign of recognition. Somewhere on this continent there is a man who looks like me. When I find him, our hearts will shake hands.44.In the passage above the writer most probably intends to .A. express a travelers experience of feeling foreignB. contrast two different cultures in AfricaC. suggest travelling alone is uninterestingD. describe a mysterious set of circumstances45.Word repetition is used in Paragraph 1 mainly to.A. create a sense of continuous confusionB. show a wide range of knowledgeC. stress the uncertainty of an outcomeD. indicate a decision-making process46.The old mans question primarily serves to.、A.stress the Tunisians pride in, and knowledge of their cultureB.allow the author to farther stress his lack of a clear destinationC.enable the author to express a judgment about the character of TunisiansD.show the authors ability to communicate with people from different cultures47.The underlined word “defined” in Paragraph 2 most probably means “”A.smoothB. longC. narrowD. clearDSo in the late 2011, I registered the domain(域名)name “” and I wrote a very short piece asking the worlds readers to help me find books, to tell me what I should be reading from their part of the world, or if there were any books that they had read that they particularly enjoyed. I didnt know what sort of response I was going to get. Maybe I would be on my own with this.With four days of me launching the blog I got a message from a woman called Rifida in Kuala Lumpur and she said, “Jenny, I love your project, and I love the idea of what youre trying to do, and Id like to go to a book shop in Kuala Lumpur and choose you a book and post it to you to read as your book from Malyasia.” There were people who went to all kinds of lengths to help me find books that werent easy to get hold of. I was very lucky, for example, when I managed to get in touch with the Burundian writer Marie Toyi, and someone who went to school with her told me that shed written a book in English, which I was really keen to get hold of because, as far as I could find, there were only books in French from Burundi. And she, amazingly, sent me a copy of her novel Weep not. Refugee(难民）from Nigeria, and sent me a message wishing me good luck in my quest.But there were people who went even farther than that. In fact, it was the enthusiasm of people and their interest in what I was doing that kept me going all through that year. Reading four books a week, or as it worked out to, one book every 1. 87 days, and writing blog posts, and then doing all the research to find books and check out peoples suggestions, was almost a full-time job, except that I was already working full time, so it actually was quite tough trying to fit it all in.48.The writer registered a website because .A. she needed help in her projectB. she enjoyed foreign literatureC. she planned to open a book storeD. she was studying peoples reading habits49.Whats the function of “Weep not, Refugee from Nigeria” in the passage? A. To show the courage of people from Nigeria.B. To praise Marie Toy i for her writing skills.C. To prove her luck in finding the books she wants. D. To acknowledge peoples support in her project.50.What can we learn about the author from the passage?A.She is grateful for others support.B. She enjoys leading an active life.C.She is not content with her present job.D. She is fluent in several languages.51.What can we infer from the text?A.Jenny has created a highly successful website for reading.B.Jenny has read books from many countries of the world.C.Jenny has made many friends by talking about the books she read.D.Jenny has intended to take up writing as a full time job.ETo imagine Lake Vostok, you must first envision a great lake in a living landscape, a weeks walk from end to end, too wide to see across from the highest hills on its flanks (侧面）.Now simplify. Erase the surrounding woods and fields; hide the encircling hills. Remove the changing seasons and the continuous rain. Shut out the sky. Leave only the waters，the minerals, the muddy depths. Then trap, squeeze, and separate them from everything that lives and dies. From your creation comes a simple world that hungers for more.To scientists, Lake Vostok, beneath 2. 5 miles of solid ice, is unbearably attractive. If it ever had a direct link with the air above it, that connection ended some millions of years ago. Its sediments (沉淀物）contain a unique record of Antarcticas climate that could revolutionize the science of the frozen continent. There could be prehistoric life in its waters, an indigenous ecosystem surviving with few resourcesno sunlight, the tiniest of fresh-food inputsand increasing adaptations never seen before. Were Lake Vostok open to the rest of the world, its faint records and fragile life-forms would have been overwritten long ago.Vostoks existence was unknown until 30 years ago, when radar and seismographs (地震仪)allowed scientists to piece together a map. The first hints of water under the ice were discovered in the 1970s; much later, in the early 1990s,
