Sir Ronald Ross was born in Almora, India in 1857. During his early years, he developed interests in poetry, literature, music, and mathematics, all of which he continued to engage in for the rest of his life.

Although he had no. tendency to study medicine, at the age of 17 he agreed to obey his father's wish to see him enter the Indian Medical Service. He began his medical studies at St.Bartholomew's Hospital Medical College, London in 1874. Later, he developed his scientific interests and took a course in bacteriology(细菌学).

Having originally doubted the parasites'( 寄生虫的) existence, In 1892 he became interested in malaria and, became an enthusiastic supporter of the belief that malaria parasites were in the blood stream when this was demonstrated to him by Patrick Manson in 1894.       

In 1895, Ross began to prove the hypothesis of Alphonse Laveran and Manson that mosquitoes ( 蚊子) were connected with the spread of malaria. However, his progress was hampered by the Indian Medical Service.

On 20 August 1897, Ross made his landmark discovery. While dissecting(解剖)  the stomach tissue of a mosquito fed four days previously on a malarious patient, he found the malaria parasite and went on to prove the role of mosquitoes in the transmission of malaria parasites in humans.

He continued his research into malaria in India, using a more convenient experimental model, malaria in birds. By July 1898, he had demonstrated that mosquitoes could serve as intermediate(中间的) hosts for bird malaria. After feeding mosquitoes on infected(被感染的) birds, he found that the malaria parasites could develop in the mosquitoes, allowing the mosquitoes to infect other birds during following blood meals.

In 1902 Ross was awarded the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine“for his work on malaria, by which he has shown how it enters the organism and thereby has laid the foundation for successful research on this disease and methods of fighting it.”Ross wrote extensively on malaria including his book The Prevention of Malaria in 1911. While Ross is remembered for his malaria work, this remarkable man was also a mathematician,epidemiologist, sanitarian, editor, novelist, dramatist, poet, amateur musician, composer, and artist.

34. What made Ross take up medical studies?

A. His father's expectation.             B. His keen interest in bacteriology.

C. The rapid spread of malaria in India.   D. The invitation from a medical college.

35. What does the underlined word“hampered”in Paragraph 4 probably mean?

A. Assisted.         B. Assessed.

C. Blocked.         D. Monitored.

36. How did Ross confirm Patrick Manson's hypothesis?

A. By closely observing malarious birds.

B. By dissecting dead malarious patients.

C. By finding malaria parasites in mosquitoes.

D. By studying the human blood stream in depth.

37. What does the last paragraph mainly discuss?

A. Ross' career.                       B. Ross' hobbies.

C. Ross' personal life.                  D. Ross' achievements.

C

While famous foreign architects are invited to lead the designs of landmark buildings in China such as the new CCTV tower and the National Center for the Performing Arts, many excellent Chinese architects are making great efforts to take the center stage.

Their efforts have been proven fruitful. Wang Shu, a 49-year-old Chinese architect, won the 2012 Pritzker Architecture Prize —— which is often referred to as the Nobel Prize in architecture —— on February 28. He is the first Chinese citizen to win this award.

Wang serves as head of the Architecture Department at the China Academy of Art (CAA).His office is located at the Xiangshan campus(校园) of the university in Hangzhou, Zhejiang Province. Many buildings on the campus are his original creations.

The style of the campus is quite different from that of most Chinese universities. Many visitors were amazed by the complex architectural space and abundant building types. The curves(曲线) of the buildings perfectly match the rise and fall of hills, forming a unique view.

Wang collected more than 7 million abandoned bricks of different ages. He asked the workers to use traditional techniques to make the bricks into walls, roofs and corridors. This creation attracted a lot of attention thanks to its mixture of modern and traditional Chinese elements(元素).

Wang's works show a deep understanding of modern architecture and a good knowledge of traditions. Through such a balance, he had created a new type of Chinese architecture, said Tadao Ando, the winner of the 1995 Pritzker Prize.

Wang believes traditions should not be sealed in glass boxes at museums.“That is only evidence that traditions once existed,” he said.

“Many Chinese people have a misunderstanding of traditions. They think tradition means old things from the past. In fact, tradition also refers to the things that have been developing and that are still being created,” he said.

“Today, many Chinese people are learning Western styles and theories rather than focusing on Chinese traditions. Many people tend to talk about traditions without knowing what they really are, ” said Wang.

The study of traditions should be combined with practice. Otherwise, the recreation of traditions would be artificial and empty, he said.

38. Wang's winning of the prize means that Chinese architects are             .

A. following the latest world trend       B. getting international recognition

C. working harder than ever before       D. relying on foreign architects

39. What impressed visitors to the CAA Xiangshan campus most?

A. Its hilly environment.                B. Its large size.

C. Its unique style.                     D. Its diverse functions.

40. What made Wang's architectural design a success?

A. The mixture of different shapes.        B. The balance of East and West.

C. The use of popular techniques.         D. The harmony of old and new.

41. What should we do about Chinese traditions according to Wang?

A. Spread them to the world.             B. Preserve them at museums.

C. Teach them in universities.            D. Recreate them in practice.

D

Nowadays people rarely read for enjoyment, even though reading books used to be one of most people's recreations. It was an escape from the surrounding world, away from technology. However, these days has seen a sharp decline in how much time people spend reading books, news articles, short stories, and many other macro-reading  (全文阅读)materials.

Social media that have come out, such as Twitter and Facebook, have shortened the amount of time we need to read and process information. Twitter’s character limit(字符限制)quickly summarizes information for readers so they do not have to bother opening and reading a longer article. Five minutes on Twitter can catch people up on their news for the rest of the day. Twitter and other social media sites can be regarded as micro-reading, which is a technology that takes bits of articles and summarizes them in a few brief sentences.

But Twitter isn't always able to thoroughly summarize a topic. A headline or summary can be misleading if the reader does not know the context. This can lead to misinterpretations of what an article is actually about.

The other day I was criticized for one of my columns. The criticism was strange, because it was barely connected to the article. When I countered their argument, saying that this opinion wasn't related to the article, they said they didn't read the story, only the headline.

As a columnist. I spend a good amount of time writing these columns and I hope people can read them with great attention. There are points that I am unable to sum up in a single line.If readers don't bother to read the article and only read the headline, they are not going to get the point of the piece of writing. This is why, as a society, we can't fully rely on social media for all of our information.

42. What can we know about most people in the past regarding reading?

A. They spent less time.                          B. They read for pleasure.

C. They read digital(数字的,数码的) books.          D. They read very quickly.

43. The author's personal experience is mentioned mainly to show that          .

A. headlines and summaries are misleading for writers

B. micro-reading sometimes fails to summarize a topic

C. articles in a column seem to be easy to be criticized

D. people have trouble in selecting reading materials

44. What does the author expect of his/her readers as a columnist?

A. They can read the articles carefully.

B. They will express personal opinions.

C. They can rely on news on social media.

D. They will make a summary of the points.

45. Which of the following can be the best title for the text?

A. Why Do We Read Less?

B. Is Social Media Good?

C. How Is Information Got?

D. Is Micro-reading Enough?

Modern communication technology is bringing the worid closer every day to overcome cultural differences. Today, many of us plan to travel to a different country for study or business.    46  Here are a couple of tips on how to help bridge the gap between cultures.

Read up on the culture we'll be encountering

Every country in the world, old or new, has a rich and storied history. They celebrate their own holidays, cook national dishes, listen to their own styles of music and wear clothes appropriate for their culture.  47  Not only will it be personally enriching, but it will also give us a way to connect with the local people.

Learn the language

  48  Well, the fact that almost everyone can already speak English makes learning a foreign language all the more impressive. Even if we can only speak a few key phrases, it shows that we're making the effort to bridge the cultural gap.

Be patient

Unfortunately, no matter how much we research a country or how well we know the language, there will always be some culture shock and confusion. Words, actions or gestures that are not offensive to us can be very offensive to someone from another culture, and vice versa.   49   

Keep an open mind

When I learn a new language, or study the history of a culture I'm unfamiliar with, I think of it as exploring a new world. There are so many things that make each culture unique.    50   Always try to think about how they see things from their cultural perspective doing so will give us a better understanding of their corner of the world.

A.Why should we make the effort to bridge the gap?

B.We have to be open to trying and learning new things.

C.Why spend more time learning a whole new language?

D.When this happens, it is important to stay patient and be accepting.

E. Showing off our knowledge of the local customs will make us popular.

F. Take time to Google the history and customs of the country we'll be visiting.

G. Thus, we must always be prepared to encounter and overcome cultural differences.
