I used to think o ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )f 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 found anything in translation. My reading was limited to stories by English-speaking authors.
So, at the start ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) of 2012, I set myself the challenge of trying to read a book from every country in a year to find out what I was missing.
With no idea where to get those books, I 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 called A Year of Reading the World and put out an appeal for suggestions of titles that I could read in English. 21cnjy.com
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 In addition, several writers, like Turkmenistan’s Ak Welsapar and Panama’s Juan David Morgan, sent me unpublished translations of their novels, giving me a rare opportunity to read works unavailable in Britain.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 per cent of literary works published in the UK, getting English versions of stories was tricky.
One by one, the boo ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ks 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.
54. The author re ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )alized she was not a learned person when she found ________.
A. she could do nothing but read books
B. she had never been to Indian and Australian
C. she didn’t have any translated books.
D. she could only read simple English stories
55. Which of the f ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ollowing is NOT the help from people around the world
A. Offering book names. B. posting local books
C. Giving financial ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) supports D. Sending unpublished translations
56. 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 D. satisfied and rewarded
C
Dear Sharon Draper,
A lot of boo ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ks have flashes of insight, but only few of them can open the readers’ mind and make them realize something new. Your book, Out of My Mind, filled me with those sparks. I enjoyed getting to know Melody. Despite the fact that she had cerebral palsy(脑瘫)，Melody had an amazing character that shone brightly. Out of My Mind helped me learn a life-long lesson.2·1·c·n·j·y
Your book has cha ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )nged my point of view. I never teased those who had special needs, but I never really felt comfortable around them either. When I started reading your novel, I saw how Melody was a smart and talented girl. At the beginning of the book, I asked myself, “Would I be Melody’s friend ” The voice in my stomach told me the sad truth: no. I carried on with your book from start to finish, and when I closed it, I asked myself the same question, “Would I be Melody’s friend ” I realized, with a smile, that the answer was right in front of me. Throughout Out of My Mind, I had become Melody’s friend.【版权所有：21教育】
Last year, t ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )here was a boy in my class who had Asperger’s syndrome (阿斯伯格综合症). I didn’t really know him; he just seemed different to me. This was around the time that I read your novel. Melody showed me how she was just as good as anyone else in her classroom and how the same goes for anyone else with disabilities. The boy in my class amazed me by what he was capable of doing. As the days went by, I started helping him instead of avoiding him.
Melody opened my ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )eyes and cleared the world around me. She showed me how a girl with cerebral palsy was the same as a girl like me. Now it is time for me to thank you for writing this amazing novel. I will never forget your fantastic book.
Sincerely,
Margaret Lim

Not all vege ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )tables need lots of sunshine. Mark Hoffman and his wife, Guia, own a bed-and-breakfast guesthouse in rural Kempton, Illinois. They often serve their guests produce fresh from the garden.
The Hoffmans h ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ave been growing food and flowers for twenty-five years. For almost ten of those years, Mr. Hoffman has been experimenting and working with shade plantings. He says visitors to his website — — often ask how to plant in shade spaces. He said, “The bottom line here is that most plants will produce more in full sun. But if you do not have full sun, there are other options.”
For example, he grows tomatoes near oak trees. Oak trees can produce a lot of shade. But Mr. Hoffman says his tomato plants grow as long as they get five hours a day of direct sunshine, especially morning sun. Not only does this go against the traditional advice that tomatoes need six, eight, even twelve hours a day of full sun, it also shows how plants and trees roots can share nutrients and water. Mr. Hoffman also planted asparagus（芦笋） around a tree at its drip line, the area below the outer limit of the branches. So when it rains, all the rain drips down right on the asparagus.
The Hoffmans’ website includes a list of vegetables, flowers and herbs that have produced acceptably for them in partial shade. Mr. Hoffman says plants with wider leaves seem to do better in shady environments. He also found that his potatoes did better in partial shade than in full sun.
Moving them out ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) of the sun helped control an insect problem with leaf hoppers. Mr. Hoffman does not use pesticides (农药). Instead, he planted the potatoes at the drip line, especially on the east side of the tree. The potatoes get morning sun, but they are shaded during the hottest part of the day. Leaf hoppers dislike shade, and the hottest part of the day is when they do the worst of their damage.
Time of day, brightness of the sun, shadows from trees, walls and buildings, these all influence how much sunlight falls or does not fall on plants. And extension agent Curtis Swift at Colorado State University says people interested in shade planting should also remember something else. The term “shade” can describe different amounts of darkness. He says it can even mean different things in different parts of the world.
61. What’s the author’s purpose of writing the passage
A. To present a kind of eco-friendly lifestyle.
B. To recommend an approach to managing a website.
C. To show vegetables can be planted in the shade.
D. To introduce Mark Hoffman and his family.

A. Food and flowers produce more in the shade.
B. Food growing in the shade contains more nutrients.21教育名师原创作品
C. Sun can affect the production of some plants.
D. Food growing in the shade is the best choice for most plants. 21世纪教育网版权所有

A. asparagus prefers to grow in the shade
B. how plants and tree roots share water
C. vegetables grow better in partial shade
