I used to think Of myself as a person learned in books，but my bookshelves told a different story．Apart from a
few Indian novels and an Australian book，my literature collection only consisted of British and American titles.
Worse still，I couldn't ever find anything in translation．My reading was limited to stories by English-speaking
高三(上)英语期末试卷第4页共12页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 1 was missing．
With no idea where to get those books，1 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 calledA
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their home countries．In addition，several writers，like Turkmenistan’s Ak Welsapar and Panama’s Juan David Morgan，sent me unpublished translations of their novels，giving me a rare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 percent 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

C．the author had no time and no chance to do it D．the writers didn，t want to publish their books 59．We can infer that by reading the books from other countries，the author feels_____.
A．bored and regretful
B．thankful and pitiful
C．calm and peaceful

B
The 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 defence ，usually if caught or trodden on .No one has died from adder bites in Britain for over 20
years．BV far the most common snake in Britain is the adder．In Scotland，in fact，there are no other snakes at a11．
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 a11．
Most people regard snake bites as a fatal(致命的)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 move very 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 form snake bites in Britain，and people 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。

The largest outbreak of the deadly disease Ebola(埃博拉)Was caused by an infected bat biting a baby ,say
a
group of international researchers.
The 17-strong team of European and African tropical disease researchers ,ecologists and anthropologists(人类学家）have spent three weeks investigating the outbreak of the disease in Guinea ,Liberia ,Ivory Coast and
Nigeria.
The researchers caught the bats and other creatures near the village of Meliandoua in remote eastern Guinea, Where the present epidemic(流行病)began in December 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(烤)or in a
spicy soup.
Initial research believed that a new strain(类型)of Ebola had appeared in west Africa but according to Herr Leendertz ,the strain of the disease is one related to as Zaire Ebola ,identified more than 10 years ago in the Congo .
Herr Leendertz，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 Guenea ,Sierra Leone
and Liberia .The evidence is not 100 percent and usually settle in forests near cities. ”
“They can travel far in one night .I don’t think an individual bat or colony(群体)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 高三(上)英语期末试卷第6页共12页
may jump from one species to another.”
“If the bat theory is confirmed ,locals would try to destroy the colonies ,which would be an ecological disaster because bats pollinate plants and consume insects ,and bat hunts would also only increase human contact
with potentially infected animals ”,says Herr Lrrnfrtyz.
64．The present epidemic of Ebola began in _______.
A．Liberia B．Guinea C．Nigeria D．Congo
65．According to the passage，we can learn
A．the first victim of present Ebola was a baby from Liberia
B．the research thought the new strain of Ebola must have appeared in west Africa
C．Zaire Eb01a 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 2018 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 spread the disease D．the species spread the virus from one to another 67．1f the bat theory is 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．it，s easy to find the smoked and grilled fruit bats
D．Ebo1a epidemic will be controlled after bats are wiped out
D
Bad news travels fast–when you watch the evening news or read the morning papers ,it seems that things that get the most coverage are all tragedies like wars ,earthquakes ,floods ,fires and murders.
This is the classic rule for mass media．“They want
your eyeballs and don’t care how you’re feeling ,”Jonah
Berger ,a psychologist at University of Pennsyvania told The New York Times .
But with social media getting increasingly popular ,information is now being spread in different spread ways ,and
researchers are discovering new rules-good news can actually spread faster and farther and farther than disasters and other sad stories .
Berger and his colleague Katherine Milkman looked at thousands of articles on The New York Times’website And analyzed the “most e-mailed ”list for six months .
One of his findings was that articles in the science section were much more likely to make the list .Those stories aroused feelings of awe (敬畏)and made the readers want to share this poisitive emotion with others .
Besides science stories ,readers were also found to be likely to share articles that were exciting or funny . “The more positive an article was ,the more likely it was to be shared ,”Berger wrote in his new book . “For
example，stories about newcomers falling in love with New York city”, he writes , “tended to be shared more than
the death of a popular zookeeper.”
But does all this good news actually make the audience feel better ? Not necessarily .
According to a study by researchers at Harvard University ,people tend to say more positive things about
Themselves when they’re talking to a bigger audience , rather than just one person ,which helps explain all the Perfect vacations that keep showing up on microblogs .This ,researchers found ,makes people think that life is
Unfair and that they’re less happy than their friends.
高三(上)英语期末试卷第7页共12页But no worries .There’s a quick and easy way to relieve the depression you get from viewing other people’s
seemingly perfect lives-turn on the television and watch the news . There is always someone donging worse than you are.
68．Bad news covers most papers because______.
A．the public care for reading tragedies
B．the public intend to express sympathy for victims C．mass media want to attract the public’s attention D．mass media appeal to the public to help victims 69．Which of the following might be e-mailed most according to Berger?
A．The perfect vacation of your friend
B．The story of a determined inventor
C．The death of a popular zookeeper
D．The flood hitting a small town
70．We can infer from the passage that
A．bad news always makes people sad
B．good news sometimes has negative influence
C．people prefer to share bad news with a bigger audience
D．people can relieve the depression by reading good news
71．What would be the best title for the passage?
A．The Effect Of Bad News B．Bad News Travels Fast
C．Good News Spreads Fast D．The Power of Good News

Are you competitive enough to make it in America ? There is an undeniable excitement about coming to study in the US，but it's not all excitement．．Yes．it is America；it is the land of freedom；it's the place where different cultures conflict…and live together
in peace．However，you guys might agree with me．it's not easy to leave home and the security of family ,friends
and people who love and care about us．And doing it raises some questions：
Is it worth it ?Are you equal to the challenge ?You might be sitting in front of your computer watching a documentary about America，which shows you the breathtaking views of skyscrapers in New York ,the beautiful
warm weather in San Diego，and the huge parties along
the beaches of the Sunshine State，Florida．
Just as you know，it’s a11 true．I remember how my heart was racing the first time I Visited Times Square in
New York．I can·t find any words in the dictionary to describe how I felt at that moment·Some day，when You get
lucky and go there，you will know what I mean．
Unfortunately，TV and movies never show the other side of what students must do to survive America .
Education in the States is really different from other places．Yes，there is the traditional A，B, C，and D
grading system ,and you get to be on the Dean’s List if you have a11久s on your transcript(成绩单).However , these grades don't just come from your test performances．The requirements of classes in the US are much more
varied and this is the biggest adjustment that overseas students have to manage．
Some have papers that you have to write every week；others have group projects You must do with your
classmates，presentations you make in the class，or research you do by yourself to prove Your own idea．There comes a night when you have a couple of projects for different classes，a paper ,and an exam to study for. And that night you ask yourself ,“What did I get myself into?”

open doors you will have by the time you finish your degree．
