28、ns while theyre experiencing another culture. Discovering another way of life is fascinating, and leads to a deeper understanding of ones own culture as well. However, it can be difficult to get to know people and customs if ones trip is spent at a hotel. A better choice for gaining insight into the

29、 culture of a country is couchsurfing. Couchsurfing is free, and guarantees a close encounter of some sort, as it allows you to stay on a locals couch or in a guest room.

30、e information. “Meeting their friends, seeing how they function and seeing how people were actually living are so personal.

31、 Project has been around for a while. It was started in 1999 by Casey Fenton, who was on a cheap trip to Iceland from Boston.

36、.BIt is a novel that is probably more talked about than read. People think: “Its such a big book! It has such a serious theme!” The feeling that they are going to be taught a long, hard lesson often puts readers off. But really, War and Peace (1869), which tells the stories of five upper-class famil

37、ies in Russia at the time of the 1812 French invasion, is not to be missed. Reading this novel is one of those once-in-a-lifetime experiences, like climbing the Great Wall: You will regret it if you do not try.Earlier this month, USA Today reported that a six-episode (集) War and Peace miniseries (连续

38、短剧) produced by the BBC would air next year.With a complex plot and so many characters, readers unfamiliar with the work might be most interested in the characters from the financially-troubled Rostov family of Moscow. Count Rostov has four teenage children. Natasha is in love with Boris Drubetskoy,

39、 who is about to become an army officer. Nikolai Ilyich loves the poor Sonya, a ward (女仆) of the family, but his family is not happy with their relationship. The proud Vera is about to start a happy marriage with a German-Russian officer. The youngest Rostov is the 9-year-old Petya, who, like his br

40、other Nikolai, has his heart set on fighting for his country.The lives of all are about to be changed by the upcoming great war that involves many other major characters of War and Peace, such as Prince Andrei, who goes into a military career partly in order to get away from his unhappy marriage to

41、the socialite (社会名流) Lise.The novel has a great reputation among many kinds of writers and millions of readers. US writer Ernest Hemingway wrote: “I dont know anybody who could write about war better than Tolstoy did.” A comment by the great 20th-century Russian short-story writer Isaak Babel shows

42、the rich sense of history that Tolstoys work conveys. “If the world itself could write, it would write like Tolstoy,” Babel commented.60.

43、 a theme.C. They often get confused with the complex relationship.D. They can understand the story through shared ideas.61. What is the authors purpose in writing the passage?A.

45、lstoys writing style.CBats are impressive creatures. They are known to carry dangerous diseases like SARS without getting sick. So researchers wanted to know: How do bats fight off so many deadly diseases? Learning their secret could help doctors better treat humans who have these diseases, therefor

46、e saving millions of lives. To solve this problem, a team of researchers from Australia and China analyzed bat DNA. The scientists studied two kinds of batsthe Australian megabat, known as the flying fox, and the Chinese microbat. The scientists then arranged the bat genome (基因组) in order by compari

47、ng their DNA. The researchers now think that the special immunity (免疫性) to illness that bats have may be connected to their ability to fly. Bats are the only mammals (哺乳动物) that can truly fly. Flying uses up a lot of energy. The energy burned for flying produces something in the animal called free r

48、adicals (自由基). Free radicals can damage DNA and lead to diseases such as cancer. However, bats are not affected by free radicals produced during flight. The reason is that bats carry special genes to repair any damaged DNA. Scientists think that because bats fly and produce free radicals, theyve evo

49、lved to carry genes that shaped their special immune system. “Were thinking that the evolution of flight led to a sort of effect, influencing not only the immune system but also things like aging and cancer,” says Chris Cowled, of the Australian Animal Health Laboratory. “We think weve really found

50、something special.” Researchers believe that this discovery might one day be key to helping humans fight diseases such as cancer that attack the immune system and damage DNA.63. Whats true about bats according to the passage? A. They carry many deadly diseases like SARS so its easy for them to get s

51、ick. B. Bats are the only animals that can tell directions easily. C. Bats are among the mammals that can truly fly. D. Researchers studied bats to help save people.64.

52、rough evolution B. they are able to fly, which burns a lot of energy C. free radicals in their bodies can damage DNA and cause diseases D. they carry no special genes to repair damaged DNA65. The passage is mainly about _. A. bats and dangerous diseasesB. bats and their special immune system C. free

53、 radicals and immune systemD. ways to cure cancerDAs the light died out of the sky, and I watched the colour of the snow on the mountain tops change, I felt I was waking from my unhappy dream, and I began to understand how much I loved Agnes. She had been the one who had always guided and supported

54、me, and now I realized I needed her love for the rest of my life. Had falling in love with Dora been a mistake? We had both been very young, it is true. I had always called Agnes sister, and now perhaps I no longer had the right to ask whether her love for me was more than sisterly.However, I decide

55、d to return, and travelled home to England, after three years of absence. I was delighted to find that Traddles had married his Sophy, and was doing well as a lawyer. My aunt had moved back to her old Dover house, and was living happily there with Mr Dick and Peggotty. When I visited my aunt, I took the opportunity of asking her about Agnes. “Has shehas she any young man shed like to marry?” I asked a
