lives there Earlier this year I had dinner in a mud hut in Ethiopia where we sat on chairs next to the hostess bed a home that had more warmth than any house I ve been in since Now John Edwards is exploring what makes a house a home in his just released 发行 Home The Blueprints of Our Lives There Edwards writes This isn t a book about houses it s a book about homes About the values they rest on the dreams they are filled with and the people they have shaped Edwards writes The houses and circumstances are different but much of what you find inside will be familiar Whether you re sitting in an airport right now waiting to fly to your childhood home for Thanksgiving or in your own home waiting for the relatives to arrive you know what he s talking about We ve lived in our townhouse for 21 years It s home now The loose windows that shake in the wind The fireplace so shallow it holds only one log The kitchen window that offers a view of the world passing by It s where friends sit on the kitchen counter drinking wine while dinner is being fixed I lived there for only 18 years but it will always be my true home Even the lamp in the west living room window which I could see far down the road when driving home late at night still shines While all this talk about childhood memories can be warm and comforting home is whom you re with not where you are As Edwards writes Home is family Home is safety Home is faith Happy homecoming 41 According to the author what makes a house a home A All the belongings in the house B Feelings of warmth and comfort C The houses and circumstances D Drinking with friends on the kitchen counter 42 About the book Home The Blueprints of Our Lives we know that A it helps us understand the concept 概念 of home B it is mainly about houses C it was the description of Edwards houses D it was written by the author of the text 43 What did the author mean when he mentioned the loose windows and the shallow fireplace A His house was too old to live in B He missed the feeling of home C He hated living there D He missed his old friends too much B Language is a major problem for the European Union EU The agreement or treaty 条约 which created the organization that finally became the EU the Treaty of Rome stated that each country s language must be treated equally The original 原来的 six countries had only three languages between them French German and Dutch Flemish However there are now 15 countries in the EU with a total of 12 languages EU documents must be translated into all these languages and at official meetings the speeches must be translated into all the languages by interpreters All this translating is very expensive and time consuming 费时的 It is said that nearly half of all employess of the EU are engaged in translating documents and speeches and nearly half of the EU s administrative 管理方面 costs are spent on this task In the near future it is probable that several more countries most of them having their own languages will join the EU thus making the situation even worse The problem is not just cost there are practical difficulties as well With 12 languages there are 132 possible translation situations that might be needed It is often difficult to find people in the right place at the right time who can translate from for example Danish into Greek or Dutch into Portuguese at a high professional 专业 standard In practice the problem has been made less serious by the use of English in many contacts 接 触 between EU officials since almost all of them speak some English However any move to reduce the number of official languages perhaps to four or five would be a blow to the pride of the smaller countries Another commonly suggested solution is to make English the official language for all EU business However this is strongly resisted by powerful member countries like France and Germany 44 The organization that finally became the EU A was started by France and Germany B started with three countries C included 132 languages D was set up by the Treaty of Rome 45 What s the main purpose of this passage A To find out a problem and show how serious it is B To give a solution to a problem C To criticize the European Union for inefficiency 低效率 D To show that the problem cannot be solved 46 According to the writer the use of English in contacts among EU officials has A angered the officials who don t speak English B lessened the effect of the problem C been opposed by powerful member countries D reduced the number of official languages 47 The writer mentions Danish into Greek as an example of A one of the 12 situations that requires an interpreter B a situation that occurs often C a situation that might be difficult to deal with D languages easily being interpreted C The world itself is becoming much smaller by using modern traffic and modern communication means 通讯设备 Life today is much easier than it was hundreds of years ago but it has brought new problems One of the biggest is pollution To pollute means to make things dirty Pollution comes in many ways We see it smell it drink it and even hear it Man has been polluting the earth The more people the more pollution Many years ago the problem was not so serious because there were not so many people When the land was used up or the river was dirty in one place Man moved to another place But this is no longer true Man is now slowly polluting the whole world Air pollution is still the most serious It s bad for all living things in the world but it is not the only one kind of pollution Water pollution kills our fish and pollutes our drinking water Noise pollution makes us angry more easily Many countries are making rules to fight pollution They stop people from burning coal in houses and factories in the city and from putting dirty smoke into the air Pollution by carbon dioxide is now the most dangerous kind of air pollution It is caused by heavy traffic It is true that if there are fewer people driving there will be less air pollution The earth is our home We must take care of it That means keeping the land water and air clean And we must take care of the rise in population at the same time 48 Hundreds of years ago the pollution was it is today A much easier than B as easy as C much less than D as hard as 49 Our world is becoming much smaller A because science is developing B because the

dioxide D The problem of pollution is not so serious because there are not so many people living on the earth D American researchers say drinking tea may help strengthen the body s defense system against infection 感染 Doctors at Brigham and Women s Hospital in Boston Massachusetts did the study The team studied a chemical found in black green oolong and pekoe tea This chemical is an amino acid 氨基酸 called L theanine The scientists say it may increase the strength of gamma delta T cells That s the letter T not the drink Gamma delta T cells are part of the body s defenses First the researchers

day Ten other people drank the same amount of instant coffee That is dried coffee mixed with hot water Two weeks later and again two weeks after that the researchers tested the blood of all twenty one people They also looked at what happened when they added bacteria to the blood cells They found that the tea drinkers produced five times more interferon after they started drinking tea The coffee drinkers did not produce interferon Doctor Jack Bukowski led the study He says the antigens added to the gamma delta T cells were responsible for the increased reaction to the bacteria He says the study also showed that the cells were able to remember the bacteria and fight them again the next time Earlier research already has found that tea can help prevent heart disease and cancer Doctor Bukowski says the new study must be repeated with more people If the findings prove to be true he says then tea drinking might also help protect against bacterial infections He says the amino acid L

acid L theanine from tea and made a drug with it C the findings of the study have already proved to be true D further study is needed to prove the findings true 55 What would be the best title for
