22、ty farm, then as a teacher at a one-room school after graduating from high school and later as a farm wife and mother.“Even as I grew older, that enthusiasm for study was still there.

It might limit what I can do. As long as I have my mind and health, its just a number.Ochs started taking classes at
24、Dodge City Community College after her husband died in 1972.After taking a class here and there over the years, she was close to having enough hours for an undergraduate degree.At 5-foot-2, her white hair pulled into a bun (圆形发髻) , she walks energetically down hallways to classes with her books in a
25、 big handbag.Students nod and smile; shes described as witty (睿智的) , charming and down-to-earth.“Everybody has accepted me, and I feel just like another student, she said.“The students respect me.An added joy for Ochs is that her 21-year-old granddaughter, Alexandra Ochs, will graduate with her.Just
26、 like any other eager college graduate, the elder Ochs cant wait for lifes next challenge. “Im going to seek employment on a cruise ship as a storyteller, she said, smiling.

29、 appearanceB These days, there are very few wild animals left in the UK. The wolves have gone. The bears have been hunted to extinction. Fortunately, there are a few badgers獾- Oh, well, actually, not for long as the British government has just decided to kill them too ! But why?Badgers are fascinati
30、ng creatures. The black and white mammals live underground in “ setts , which they dig out of the earth. They are extremely brave, fighting off larger animals such as bears and wolves. The problem is that some badgers carry “ Bovine Tuberculosis ( BTB ), an infectious disease caused by the bacterium
31、 Mycobacterium Bovis ( M. Bovis ) which can cause TB in some other animals, including cattle.For farmers, this is a serious issue. In 1998 in the UK, almost 6,000 cows were killed to control the disease. And in , more than 30,000 animals were destroyed. Its expensive too. Bovine TB costs the UK abou
32、t 100 million per year. And some believe that the disease could end up costing the economy 9 billion over the next 40 years if nothing is done about it.Experts say that badgers are responsible for about 50% of the infected cattle. So, after much debate, the government has agreed to a badger cull杀戮.
33、This will mean about 30,000 of the innocent creatures will be wiped out to fight the disease. Environment Secretary Caroline Spelman admitted that there was “ great strength of feeling about it, but said, “ I believe this is the right way forward. Of course, many are against the measure, including c
34、onservationists and animal rights activists. They claim that killing the badgers in controlled zones wouldnt work because badgers from neighboring areas would simply move into the empty setts and become infected too. Furthermore, they believe that the way cattle are raised intensively, and transport
35、ed around to lots of different farms during their lives is probably the biggest cause of the spread of the disease.Most ordinary people are against the measure too. A survey suggests about two-thirds are against killing the badgers, with majorities against killing them regardless of age, region and
36、gender. One of the alternatives to the cull involves using vaccine(疫苗) on badgers. However, this costs an average of 2,250 per year per square kilometer. Trapping and shooting badgers costs 2,500 per year, but shooting free-running badgers only costs about 200 per year ( per square kilometer ). So,
37、with that in mind, its easy to see how the government arrived at their decision. Money talks!45. Why does the government want to kill the badgers ?A. Because there is no other choice to cut the spread of the disease.B. Because badgers carry TB, a disease which can infect other animals.C. Because the
38、y almost wiped out an entire population of cattle.D. Because it might be an effective way to fight TB at the least expense.46. Which of the following statements is TRUE ?A. Some people object to culling because it costs much more to trap and shoot badgers.B. In the following four decades, 9 billion
39、will be spent on TB.C. Based on the survey, people of different age groups, regions and both genders are against killing the badgers.D. Caroline Spelman thought badgers should be culled despite peoples strong reaction.47. Who is strongly for the killing the badgers according the passage?A. The gover
40、nment B. Most ordinary people C. Conservationists D. Animal rights activists48. What is the authors attitude toward governments decision? A. SupportiveB. CriticalC. ObjectiveD. Unconcerned49. Which is the best title for the passage?A. the Control of TBB. the Voice of the BadgersC. Badger DangerD. th
41、e Threat of the BadgersC BEIJING - Hailing Mo Yan as the first Chinese citizen that won the Nobel Prize in Literature, the public has started to consider the way to enhance Chinese literatures global presence.The prize indicates that Chinese contemporary authors and their works are getting the world
42、s attention, which prompts writers and amateurs to continue their work, according to Wang Meng, a renowned Chinese writer. But the prize came a little late, said Xue Yongwu, dean of the College of Liberal Arts, Journalism and Communication with Ocean University of China (OUC). There have been many a
43、ccomplished writers of modern and contemporary literature in China, including Lu Xun, Ba Jin and Mao Dun, who should have won the prize earlier, he noted. Chinas splendid ancient literature, which extends thousands of years, has been widely acknowledged across the world. However, the contemporary li
44、terature failed to get enough recognition from outside the country due to its short history and complex political influences, he explained. Language has also been a barrier. Only a small proportion of Chinese literature has been translated into foreign languages, mainly English. The quality of some
45、translated editions needs improvement, said Xue. In addition to language skills, translation requires high-level comprehension and explanation of culture and art. Its hard for people without any literature background to produce a translation that fully reserves the aesthetic(美学的) sense of the original version, according to Ren Dongsheng, professor with the College of Foreign Languages of OUC.
