While traveling satisfies different needs of various types of people, most serious adventurers hope to make some connections while they’re experiencing another culture. Discovering another way of life is fascinating, and leads to a deeper understanding of one’s own culture as well. However, it can be difficult to get to know people and customs if one’s trip is spent at a hotel. A better choice for gaining insight into the culture of a country is couchsurfing.
a local’s couch or in a guest room. Travelers can look up couchsurfing opportunities on Couchsurfing.com, where hosts and surfers can connect, create and view profiles, and exchange information. “Meeting their friends, seeing how they function and seeing how people were actually living are so personal. I really like the opportunity to gain a pure knowledge of someone’s life,” says Meghan Sinnott, who recently couchsurfed in Denmark, Holland, and Sweden.
The formal Couchsurfing Project has been around for a while. It was started in 1999 by Casey Fenton, who was on a cheap trip to Iceland from Boston. Finding himself without a place to stay, he e-mailed more than a thousand students at the University of Iceland and got more than 50 responses offering him a free couch. When he returned to his hometown Boston, he decided to turn the experience into a website-based network, which was created in 2004.
While some travelers might be afraid of the idea of sleeping on a previously unseen couch or getting a cup of coffee with a complete stranger halfway across the country, others jump at the chance to walk into the unknown.
And that tells us exactly what couchsurfing is all about—learning about the world and a stranger at a time.
56. People choose couchsurfing while traveling mainly to ________.
A. see beautiful scenes B. experience different cultures
C. save money D. write traveling articles
57. The underlined word “encounter” (in Paragraph 2) is closest in meaning to “________”.
A. connection B. culture C. touch D. opportunity
58. We can infer from the passage that ________.
A. it’s easy to know people and customs if you spend your travel time at a hotel
B. everyone likes to travel to another culture through couchsurfing
C. you should not exchange any information before your first meeting
D. all people do not accept couch surfing with delight
59. Which of the following best describes the author’s attitude towards couchsurfing?
A. Uninterested. B. Supportive. C. Doubtful. D. Disapproving.
B
It is a novel that is probably more talked about than read. People think: “It’s such a big book! It has such a serious theme!” The feeling that they are going to be taught a long, hard lesson often puts readers off. But really, War and Peace (1869), which tells the stories of five upper-class families in Russia at the time of the 1812 French invasion, is not to be missed. Reading this novel is one of those once-in-a-lifetime experiences, like climbing the Great Wall: You will regret it if you do not try. Earlier this month, USA Today reported that a six-episode (集) War and Peace miniseries (连续短剧) produced by the BBC would air next year.
With a complex plot and so many characters, readers unfamiliar with the work might be most interested in the characters from the financially-troubled Rostov family of Moscow. Count Rostov has four teenage children. Natasha is in love with Boris Drubetskoy, who is about to become an army officer. Nikolai Ilyich loves the poor Sonya, a ward (女仆) of the family, but his family is not happy with their relationship. The proud Vera is about to start a happy marriage with a German-Russian officer. The youngest Rostov is the 9-year-old Petya, who, like his brother Nikolai, has his heart set on fighting for his country.
The lives of all are about to be changed by the upcoming great war that involves many other major characters of War and Peace, such as Prince Andrei, who goes into a military career partly in order to get away from his unhappy marriage to the socialite (社会名流) Lise.
The novel has a great reputation among many kinds of writers and millions of readers. US writer Ernest Hemingway wrote: “I don’t know anybody who could write about war better than Tolstoy did.” A comment by the great 20th-century Russian short-story writer Isaak Babel shows the rich sense of history that Tolstoy’s work conveys. “If the world itself could write, it would write like Tolstoy,” Babel commented.
60. Why do people prefer to talk about the novel rather than read it?
A. The story is directly related to their daily life.
B. The story is too long and has too serious a theme.
C. They often get confused with the complex relationship.
D. They can understand the story through shared ideas.
61. What is the author’s purpose in writing the passage?
A. To tell readers different opinions on the book.
B. To make it easier for readers to read the book.
C. To sing high praise for the great writer Tolstoy.
D. To advise readers not to miss such a good book.
62. What can we know from Isaak Babel’s comment?
A. The novel has a great distinction in the world.
B. The book helps readers make sense of history.
C. Many other writers regard Tolstoy as their idol.
D. Readers should follow Tolstoy’s writing style.
C
Bats are impressive creatures. They are known to carry dangerous diseases like SARS without getting sick.
So researchers wanted to know: How do bats fight off so many deadly diseases? Learning their secret could help doctors better treat humans who have these diseases, therefore saving millions of lives.
To solve this problem, a team of researchers from Australia and China analyzed bat DNA. The

But really, War and Peace (1869), which tells the stories of five upper-class families in Russia at the time of the 1812 French invasion, is not to be missed. Reading this novel is one of those once-in-a-lifetime experiences, like climbing the Great Wall: You will regret it if you do not try.
Earlier this month, USA Today reported that a six-episode (集) War and Peace miniseries (连续短剧) produced by the BBC would air next year.
With a complex plot and so many characters, readers unfamiliar with the work might be most interested in the characters from the financially-troubled Rostov family of Moscow. Count Rostov has four teenage children. Natasha is in love with Boris Drubetskoy, who is about to become an army officer. Nikolai Ilyich loves the poor Sonya, a ward (女仆) of the family, but his family is not happy with their relationship. The proud Vera is about to start a happy marriage with a German-Russian officer. The youngest Rostov is the 9-year-old Petya, who, like his brother Nikolai, has his heart set on fighting for his country.
The lives of all are about to be changed by the upcoming great war that involves many other major characters of War and Peace, such as Prince Andrei, who goes into a military career partly in order to get away from his unhappy marriage to the socialite (社会名流) Lise.
The novel has a great reputation among many kinds of writers and millions of readers. US writer Ernest Hemingway wrote: “I don’t know anybody who could write about war better than Tolstoy did.” A comment by the great 20th-century Russian short-story writer Isaak Babel shows the rich sense of history that Tolstoy’s work conveys. “If the world itself could write, it would write like Tolstoy,” Babel commented.

A. The story is directly related to their daily life.
B. The story is too long and has too serious a theme.
C. They often get confused with the complex relationship.

While traveling satisfies different needs of various types of people, most serious adventurers hope to make some connections while they’re experiencing another culture. Discovering another way of life is fascinating, and leads to a deeper understanding of one’s own culture as well. However, it can be difficult to get to know people and customs if one’s trip is spent at a hotel. A better choice for gaining insight into the culture of a country is couchsurfing.
on a local’s couch or in a guest room. Travelers can look up couchsurfing opportunities on Couchsurfing.com, where hosts and surfers can connect, create and view profiles, and exchange information. “Meeting their friends, seeing how they function and seeing how people were actually living are so personal. I really like the opportunity to gain a pure knowledge of someone’s life,” says Meghan Sinnott, who recently couchsurfed in Denmark, Holland, and Sweden.
The formal Couchsurfing Project has been around for a while. It was started in 1999 by Casey Fenton, who was on a cheap trip to Iceland from Boston. Finding himself without a place to stay, he e-mailed more than a thousand students at the University of Iceland and got more than 50 responses offering him a free couch. When he returned to his hometown Boston, he decided to turn the experience into a website-based network, which was created in 2004.
While some travelers might be afraid of the idea of sleeping on a previously unseen couch or getting a cup of coffee with a complete stranger halfway across the country, others jump at the chance to walk into the unknown.
And that tells us exactly what couchsurfing is all about—learning about the world and a stranger at a time.
56. People choose couchsurfing while traveling mainly to ________.
A. see beautiful scenes B. experience different cultures
C. save money D. write traveling articles
57. The underlined word “encounter” (in Paragraph 2) is closest in meaning to “________”.
A. connection B. culture C. touch D. opportunity
58. We can infer from the passage that ________.
A. it’s easy to know people and customs if you spend your travel time at a hotel
B. everyone likes to travel to another culture through couchsurfing
C. you should not exchange any information before your first meeting
D. all people do not accept couch surfing with delight
59. Which of the following best describes the author’s attitude towards couchsurfing?
A. Uninterested. B. Supportive. C. Doubtful. D. Disapproving.

Bats are impressive creatures. They are known to carry dangerous diseases like SARS without getting sick.
So researchers wanted to know: How do bats fight off so many deadly diseases? Learning their secret could help doctors better treat humans who have these diseases, therefore saving millions of lives.
To solve this problem, a team of researchers from Australia and China analyzed bat DNA. The scientists studied two kinds of bats—the Australian megabat, known as the flying fox, and the Chinese microbat. The scientists then arranged the bat genome (基因组) in order by comparing their DNA.
The researchers now think that the special immunity (免疫性) to illness that bats have may be connected to their ability to fly.
Bats are the only mammals (哺乳动物) that can truly fly. Flying uses up a lot of energy. The energy burned for flying produces something in the animal called free radicals (自由基). Free radicals can damage DNA and lead to diseases such as cancer. However, bats are not affected by free radicals produced during flight. The reason is that bats carry special genes to repair any damaged DNA.
Scientists think that because bats fly and produce free radicals, they’ve evolved to carry genes that shaped their special immune system.
“We’re thinking that the evolution of flight led to a sort of effect, influencing not only the immune system but also things like aging and cancer,” says Chris Cowled, of the Australian Animal Health Laboratory. “We think we’ve really found something special.”
Researchers believe that this discovery might one day be key to helping humans fight diseases such as cancer that attack the immune system and damage DNA.
63. What’s true about bats according to the passage?
A. They carry many deadly diseases like SARS so it’s easy for them to get sick.
B. Bats are the only animals that can tell directions easily.
C. Bats are among the mammals that can truly fly.
D. Researchers studied bats to help save people.
64. According to researchers, bats can fight off many deadly diseases mainly because ________.
A. they have developed special immune system through evolution
B. they are able to fly, which burns a lot of energy
C. free radicals in their bodies can damage DNA and cause diseases
D. they carry no special genes to repair damaged DNA
65. The passage is mainly about ________.
A. bats and dangerous diseases B. bats and their special immune system
C. free radicals and immune system D. ways to cure cancer

While traveling satisfies different needs of various types of people, most serious adventurers hope to make some connections while they’re experiencing another culture. Discovering another way of life is fascinating, and leads to a deeper understanding of one’s own culture as well. However, it can be difficult to get to know people and customs if one’s trip is spent at a hotel. A better choice for gaining insight into the culture of a country is couchsurfing.
local’s couch or in a guest room. Travelers can look up couchsurfing opportunities on Couchsurfing.com, where hosts and surfers can connect, create and view profiles, and exchange information. “Meeting their friends, seeing how they function and seeing how people were actually living are so personal. I really like the opportunity to gain a pure knowledge of someone’s life,” says Meghan Sinnott, who recently couchsurfed in Denmark, Holland, and Sweden.
The formal Couchsurfing Project has been around for a while. It was started in 1999 by Casey Fenton, who was on a cheap trip to Iceland from Boston. Finding himself without a place to stay, he e-mailed more than a thousand students at the University of Iceland and got more than 50 responses offering him a free couch. When he returned to his hometown Boston, he decided to turn the experience into a website-based network, which was created in 2004.
While some travelers might be afraid of the idea of sleeping on a previously unseen couch or getting a cup of coffee with a complete stranger halfway across the country, others jump at the chance to walk into the unknown.
And that tells us exactly what couchsurfing is all about—learning about the world and a stranger at a time.
56. People choose couchsurfing while traveling mainly to ________.
A. see beautiful scenes B. experience different cultures
C. save money D. write traveling articles
57. The underlined word “encounter” in Paragraph 2 is closest in meaning to “________”.
A. connection B. culture C. touch D. opportunity
58. We can infer from the passage that ________.
A. it’s easy to know people and customs if you spend your travel time at a hotel
B. everyone likes to travel to another culture through couchsurfing
C. you should not exchange any information before your first meeting
D. all people do not accept couch surfing with delight
59. Which of the following best describes the author’s attitude towards couchsurfing?
A. Uninterested. B. Supportive. C. Doubtful. D. Disapproving.
B
It is a novel that is probably more talked about than read. People think: “It’s such a big book! It has such a serious theme!” The feeling that they are going to be taught a long, hard lesson often puts readers off. But really, War and Peace (1869), which tells the stories of five upper-class families in Russia at the time of the 1812 French invasion, is not to be missed. Reading this novel is one of those once-in-a-lifetime experiences, like climbing the Great Wall: You will regret it if you do not try.
Earlier this month, USA Today reported that a six-episode (集) War and Peace miniseries (连续短
