A trip to the library was like a great journey to a different country. To get there, we had to walk a mile. But our weekly journeys to the library were a piece of perfection. I had around me at one time all the people I loved best — my father and mother and brothers and sister — and all the things I loved best — quiet, space and books.
I read a lot of books about science: not the spaceships my brothers preferred, but the birds and the bees — literally. I brought home a book of birds and searched the trees for anything other than robins. I went through a phrase of loving books with practical science experiments and used up a whole bottle of white vinegar(白醋) by pouring it on the sides of our apartment building to prove that it was constructed of limestone (石灰石).
One Saturday, as I wandered through the young adult section, I saw a title: Little Women, by Lousia May Alcott. I had learned from experience that titles weren’t everything. A book that sounded great on the shelf could be dull once you got it home. So I sat in a chair near the shelves to skim the first paragraphs.
I read and read and read Little Women until it was time to walk home, and, except for sleeping and eating, I did not put it down until the end. Even the freedom to watch weekend television held no appeal for me in the wake of Alcott’s story. It was about girls, for one thing, girls who could almost be like me, especially Jo. I had found someone who thought and felt the way I did.
( )44. What can we say about the author’s family
A．They enjoyed traveling abroad. B．They were library regular customers.
C．They were very fond of walking. D．They led a perfectly quiet life.
( )45. What does the author mainly want to show in paragraph 2
A．Her different hobbies from her brothers. B．How she conducted science experiments.
C．Why she loved books about the birds and the bees. D．Her reading interests during a particular period of time.
( )46.How would the author describe Little Women
A.It helped her to discover her true character. B. It made her forget about food and sleep.
C. It inspired confidence in her. D. It interested her very much.
C
While it may seem impossible for fish to drive, in a new experience（实验）,
scientists putgoldfish’s sense of direction to the test.
Scientists as Ben-Gurion University taught several goldfish to drive a robotic “car” —a tank of water on wheels around a room. It may seem like a fish-out-of-water idea, but they took it well. The fish tank had a camera to record the fish’s position. When the goldfish swam towards walls, the car drove in that direction.
The researchers trained the fish during some 30-minute periods to drive to the center of a small room towards a pink board. They gave the fish a treat whenever it arrived at the places. In the first period, the goldfish could have 2-3 successful trips. By the end of the experiment, the fish could have 17-18 successful trips.
Like humans, some of the fish took their driver’s education quicker than others— taking faster and more direct paths to their destination（目的地）. During the experiment, researchers changed the starting position of the car. Even in different locations, the goldfish were still able to reach the pink board. This finding showed that the fish were not just remembering the ways to get their reward. These animals in water were also planning new ways to their destination.
“It comes to the conclusion that the fish can navigate,” said Ben-Shahar, a member of the study, the team let one of the goldfish take a ride in the whole building. “And it started to explore. It went down one of the corridors and wanted to get away,” said Ben-Shahar.
( )47. In the experiment, when goldfish swam forward, they would ________.
A.need a hard push B.jump out of water
C.make the car move D.record their position
( )48. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage
A.If the fish reached the right place, they would get food.
B.The fish could have 17-18 successful trips in the beginning.
C.The fish could find their destination only by remembering the ways.
D. When starting position was changed, the fish couldn’t reach the board.
( )49. What does the underlined word “navigate” in the passage mean
A.Swim in water. B.Find position. C.Miss the pink board. D.Move carefully.
( )50. What is the best title for the passage
A.Life about Goldfish B.Humans and Goldfish
C.The smartest in the World D. Teaching Goldfish to “Drive”
D
Ancient art doesn’t have to be boring. Technology in the 21st century can help to bring it to life by combining(融合) the best of the old and the new.
Along the River During the Qingming Festival
Walking into the China Pavilion at Expo 2010 in Shanghai, people were amazed by seeing a huge digital(数码的) painting. Scientists digitized(数码化) the famous painting Along the River During the Qingming Festisal by Chinese artist Zhang Zeduan.
The original(原先的) painting shows life during the Northern Song period and it includes many details of ancient Chinese customs, lifestyles and technology.
Farmers work in the fields, sailors move around their boats and people eat and do business in restaurants. Parts of the background are also animated(做成动画). You can see the wind blowing through the trees and across the water. These animations perfectly combine modern technology and ancient art.

A man once visited a temple(寺庙)that was still being built. He saw a sculptor (雕塑家) making a sculpture. As he watched the man work on the sculpture, he noticed that there was a similar sculpture lying nearby.
He was curious and asked the sculptor, “Why are you making two same sculptures Do you need two to put in different places ” “No,” the man said without looking up. “We need only one, but the first one became damaged(被损坏的)before I could finish it, so I’m making a new one.”
The visitor picked up the damaged sculpture and checked it. But he couldn’t find anything wrong with it. “Where is the damage ” he asked. “There is a scratch（擦痕）on the sculpture’s nose.” the sculptor said while continuing his work.
The man then asked, “Where are you going to place the sculpture ”
The sculptor replied that it would be placed on a 20-foot-high platform. “If the sculpture is up that high, who is going to notice that there is a scratch on the nose ” the man asked.
The sculptor stopped his work, looked up at the man and said, “I will know it.”
Even if other people didn’t notice the damage, it is important to the sculptor that his work should be of the best quality. He chose to insist a high standard of excellence in his work. This is an attitude we should all work hard to keep.
