indian novels and an australian book, my literature collection only consisted of british and american titles. worse still, i couldnt ever find anything in translation. my reading was limited to stories by english-speaking authors.so, at the start of 2012, i set myself the challenge of trying to read a book from every country in a year to find out what i was missing.with no idea where to get those books, i was unlikely to find publications from nearly 200 nations on the shelves of my local bookshop, so i decided to ask the readers all over the world for help. i created a blog called a year of reading the world and put out an appeal for suggestions of titles that i could read in english.the response was amazing. people all over the world were getting in touch with me, offering ideas and book lists. some posted me books from their home countries. in addition, several writers, like turkmenistans ak welsapar and panamas juan david morgan, sent me unpublished translations of their novels, giving me a rare opportunity to read works unavailable in britain. even with such an extraordinary team of bibliophiles(爱书者) behind me, however, sourcing books was no easy task. with translations making up only around 4.5 per cent of literary works published in the uk, getting english versions of stories was tricky.one by one, the books from the countries on the list filled my heart with laughter, love, anger, hope and fear. lands that had once seemed exotic and remote became close and familiar to me. at its best, i learned, reading makes the world real.56. the author realized she was not a learned person when she found _.a. she could do nothing but read booksb. she had never been to indian and australianc. she didnt have any translated books.d. she could only read simple english stories57. what was the challenge the author set for herself?a. reading books from nearly 200 countries in a year.b. creating a blog to offer help to other readers.c. looking for publications to publish her own books.d. giving some suggestions on learning english. 58. it was not easy to find the books mainly because _.a. there were too few translations in the uk b. the readers were unwilling to offer helpc. the author had no time and no chance to do itd. the writers didnt want to publish their books59. we can infer that by reading the books from other countries, the author feels _.a. bored and regretfulb. thankful and pitifulc. calm and peaceful d. satisfied and rewarded bthe adder（蝰蛇）is the only poisonous snake native to britain. adders have the most highly developed poison injecting mechanism of all snakes, but they are not aggressive animals. adders will only use their poison as a last means of defensce, usually if caught or trodden on. no one has died from adder bites in britain for over 20 years. by far the most common snake in britain is the adder. in scotland, in fact, there are no other snakes at all. the adder is also the only british snake with a poisonous bite. it can be found almost anywhere, but it prefers sunny hillsides and rough open country, including high lands. in ireland there are no snakes at all.most people regard snake bites as a fatal misfortune, but not all bites are serious, and very few are fatal . sometimes attempts at emergency treatment turn out to be more dangerous than the bite itself, with amateurs heroically, but mistakenly, trying do-it-yourself surgery and other unnecessary measures.all snakes have small teeth, so it follows the tall snakes can bite, but only the bite of the adder presents any danger. british snakes are shy animals and are far more frightened of you than you could possibly be of them. the adder will attack only if it feels threatened, as can happen if you take it by surprise and step on it accidentally, or if you try to catch it or pick it up, which it dislikes intensely. if it hears you coming, it will normally get out of the way as quickly as it can, but adders cannot movevery rapidly and may attack before moving if you are very close.the effect of a bite varies considerably. it depends upon several things, one of which is the body-weight of the person bitten. the heavier the person is, the less harmful the bite is likely to be, which is why children suffer far more seriously from snake bites in britain , andpeople think these bites can make some people very ill, and there are probably just as many cases of bites having little or no effect, as there are of serious illness.60. what does the underlined phrase “ trodden on” probably mean?a. found out b. heard from c. stepped on. d. robbed of.61. where are adders to be found?a. in fertile fields in scotland. b. on wild land throughout britain.c. in many parts of britain and ireland. d. everywhere in britain except scotland62. what should you do if you are with someone who is bitten by an adder?a. catch the biting adder at once. b. dont worry about the bitten person. c. dont try to treat the bite by yourself. d. operate on the person as soon as possible.63. whats the best title of the passage?a. poisonous snakesb. adders in britain c. take care of snake bitesd. protect endangered adderscthe largest outbreak of the deadly disease ebola(埃博拉) was caused by an infected bat biting a toddler, say a group of international researchers.the 17-strong team of european and african tropical disease researchers, ecologists and anthropologists have spent three weeks investigating the outbreak of the disease in guinea, liberia, ivory coast and nigeria.the researchers captured the bats and other creatures near the village of meliandoua in remote eastern guinea, where the present epidemic（流行病）began in december 2013.the boy was bitten and passed the infection on to his mother and both were dead within a week. the disease was then spread far and wide by mourners who came to the funeral.scientists have long believed that bats are the main carriers for the disease but it is rare for them to pass it on to man. most of the previous outbreaks have been caused by meat from dead infected animals collected by hunters who then sell it on. fruit bats, however, are widely eaten in rural west africa either smoked, grilled or in a spicy soup.initial research believed that a new strain(类型) of ebola had emerged in west africa but according to herr leendertz, the strain of the disease is one related to as zaire ebola virus, identified more than 10 years ago in the congo.herr leendertzs team believe that an infected straw-colored fruit bat brought the disease to guinea. the mammals are known to travel long distances and usually settle in forests near cities.more than 1,300 people have died in the current epidemic, many in liberia. herr leendertz said: we spent eight days in meliandoua. they told us they regularly catch bats, like every other village in guinea, sierra leone and liberia. the evidence is not 100 percent and we can only say that it is possible.they can travel far in one night. i dont think an individual bat or colony migrated all the way from congo or gabon to west africa. these big colonies are connected. there is a possibility for the virus to mix between colonies. the bats share the same fruit. it is likely not to have even been one species of bat. the virus may jump from one species to another.if the bat theory confirmed, locals would try to destroy the colonies which says herr leendertz would be an ecological disaster because bats pollinate plants and devour insects. and bat hunts would also only increase human contact with potentially infected animals64 .the present epidemic of ebola began in .a. liberiab. guineac. nigeriad. congo65 .according to the passage, we can learn .a .the first victim of present ebola was a toddler from liberia.b. the research thought the new strain of ebola must have emerged in west africa. c .zaire ebola virus ever identified in congo might be the strain of this outbreak. d .more than 1300 people in liberia have died in the current epidemic.66 .the possible reason for the outbreak of ebola in december of 2013 was that .a .human beings ate meat from dead infected animals.b .the birds spread the virus to human beings.c .a boy bitten by an infected bat transmitted the disease.d .the species spread the virus from one to another .67 .if the bat theory confirmed, we may find in africa .a .the fruit bats can be seen everywhere as usual.b .there is a chance that the ecosystem will lose its balance .c .its easy to find the smoked and grilled fruit bats.d .ebola epidemic will be controlled after bats are wiped out.dmany years ago, i went through a tough time. one afternoon, i picked my girls up. it was late when we returned home. i went to unlock the door and found my key wouldnt go in. i kept trying while my daughter went to get a flashlight. when she returned with it, we found somehow the lock had been “stuffed” with sunflower seed shells. thinking that one of the neighborhood children had been up to no good, i really didnt give it much consideration. i found all windows were locked up tight. so i returned to the back door. oh my god, i will never forget the shock of that moment. the house was empty! other than a few things remaining on the back porch, everything was gone! then i heard a car pull into the driveway and found two policemen walking up. they inquired why i had broken into the house. they then asked me for proof that i lived at that address, so i asked them to wait a minute while i went to get my rent receipt and identification from inside the house. i explained the matter to them and showed them the door lock.at this point they were not buying any of my story. i could tell from their actions and tone of voice that they thought i was breaking into an empty house for somewhere
