There are some places which are probably a mere walk away from your college. King s Art Centre A day at the Centre could mean a visit to an exhibition of the work of one of the most interesting contemporary artists on show anywhere. This weekend sees the opening of an exhibition of four local artists. You could attend a class teaching you how to learn from the masters or get more creative with paintfree of charge. The Centre also runs two life drawing classes for which there is a small fee. The Botanic Garden The Garden has over 8,000 plant species; it holds the research and teaching collection of living plants for Cambridge University. The multi-branched Torch Aloe here is impressive. The African plant produces red flowers above blue-green leaves, and is not one to miss. Get to the display house to see Dionaea muscipula, a plant more monly known as the Venus Flytrap that feeds on insects and other small animals. The Garden is also a place for wildlife-enthusiasts. Look for grass snakes in the lake. A snake called Hissing Sid is regularly seen lying in the heat of the warm sun. Byron s Pool Many stories surround Lord Byrons time as a student of Cambridge University. Arriving in 1805, he wrote a letter plaining that it was a place of “mess and drunkenness”. However, it seems as though Byron did manage to pass the time pleasantly enough. Im not just talking about the pet bear he kept in his rooms. He spent a great deal of time walking in the village. It is also said that on occasion Byron swam naked by moonlight in the lake, which is now known as Byrons Pool. A couple of miles past Grantchester in the south Cambridgeshire countryside, the pool is surrounded by beautiful circular paths around the fields. The cries of invisible birds make the trip a lovely experience and on the way home you can drop into the village for afternoon tea. If you dont trust me, then perhaps youll take it from Virginia Woolf over a century after Byron, she reportedly took a trip to swim in the same pool. 56. As is mentioned in the passage, there is a small charge for _. A. attending the masters class B. working with local artists C. learning life drawing D. seeing an exhibition57. “Torch Aloe” and “Venus Flytrap” are _. A. mon insects B. impressive plants C. rarely-seen snakes D. wildlife-enthusiasts58. We can infer from the passage that Byron seemed _. A. to fear pet bears B. to like walking C. to be a heavy drinker D. to finish university in 180559. What is the passage mainly about? A. Some places for weekend break. B. A way to bee creative in art. C. The colorful life in the countryside. D. Unknown stories of Cambridge University.BBelow is a selection from a popular science book.If blood is red, why are veins (静脉) blue?Actually, veins are not blue at all. They are more of a clear, yellowish color. Although blood looks red when it s outside the body, when it s sitting in a vein near the surface of the skin, it s more of a dark reddish purple color. At the right depth, these blood-filled veins reflect less red light than the surrounding skin, making them look blue by parison.Which works harder, your heart or your brain?That depends on whether you are busy thinking or busy exercising. Your heart works up to three times harder during exercise, and shifts enough blood over a lifetime to fill a supertanker. But, in the long run, your brain probably tips it, because even when you re sitting still your brain is using twice as much energy as your heart, and it takes four to five times as much blood to feed it.Why do teeth fall out, and why dont they grow back in grown-ups?Baby (or “milk”) teeth do not last long; they fall out to make room for bigger, stronger adult teeth later on. Adult teeth fall out when they bee damaged, decayed and infected by bacteria. Once this second set of teeth has grown in, you re done. When they re gone, they re gone. This is because nature figures you re set for life, and what controls regrowth of your teeth switches off. Do old people shrink as they age?Yes and do. Many people do get shorter as they age. But, when they do, it isnt because theyre shrinking all over. They simply lose height as their spine(脊柱) bees shorter and more curved due to disuse and the effects of gravity (重力). Many (but not all) men and women do lose height as they get older. Men lose an average of 3-4 cm in height as they age, while women may lose 5 cm or more. If you live to be 200 years old, would you keep shrinking till you were, like 60 cm tall, like a little boy again? No, because old people dont really shrink! It is not that they are growing backwards-their legs, arms and backbones getting shorter. When they do get shorter, its because the spine has shortened a little. Or, more often, bee more bent and curved. Why does spinning（旋转） make you dizzy (眩晕的)?Because your brain gets confused between what youre seeing and what you re feeling. The brain senses that you re spinning using special gravity-and-motion-sensing organs in your inner ear, which work together with your eyes to keep your vision and balance stable. But when you suddenly stop spinning the system goes out of control, and your brain thinks you re moving while you re not!Where do feelings and emotions e from?Mostly from an ancient part of the brain called the limbic system. All mammals have this brain area from mice to dogs, cats, and humans. So all mammals feel basic emotions like fear, pain and pleasure. But since human feelings also involve other, newer bits of the brain, we feel more plex emotions than any other animal on the planet.If exercise wears you out, how can it be good for you?Because our bodies adapt to everything we do to them. And as far as your body is concerned, it s “use it, or lose it” ! It s not that exercise makes you healthy; it s more that a lack of exercise leaves your body weak and easily affected by disease.60. What is the color of blood in a vein near the surface of the skin?A. Blue. B. Light yellow.C. Red. D. Dark reddish purple. 61. Why do some old people look a little shrunken as they age?A. Because their spine is in active use.B. Because they are more easily affected by gravity.C. Because they keep growing backwards.D. Because their spine bees more bent.62. Which of the following statements about our brain is true?A. In the long run, our brain probably works harder than our heart.B. When our brain senses the spinning, we will fell dizzy.C. The brains of the other mammals are as plex as those of humans.D. Our feelings and emotions e from the most developed area in our brain.63. What is the main purpose of the selection? A. To give advice on how to stay healthy.B. To provide information about our body.C. To challenge new findings in medical research.D. To report the latest discoveries in medical science.C Some years ago, writing in my diary used to be a usual activity. I would return from school and spend the expected half hour recording the day s events, feelings, and impressions in my little blue diary. I did not really need to express my emotions by way of words, but I gained a certain satisfaction from seeing my experiences forever recorded on paper. After all, isnt accumulating memories a way of preserving(保存) the past?When I was thirteen years old, I went on a long journey on foot in a great valley, well-equipped with pens, a diary, and a camera. During the trip, I was busy recording every incident, name and place I came across. I felt proud to be spending my time productively, dutifully preserving for future generations a detailed description of my travels. On my last night there, I wandered out of my tent, diary in hand. The sky was clear and lit by the glare of the moon, and the walls of the valley looked threatening behind their screen of shadows. I automatically took out my pen.At that point, I understood that nothing I wrote could ever match or replace the few seconds I allowed myself to experience the dramatic beauty of the valley. All I remembered of the previous few days were the dull characterizations I had set down in my diary.Now, I only write in my diary when I need to write down a special thought or feeling. I still love to record ideas and quotations that strike me in books, or observations that are particularly meaningful. I take pictures, but not very oftenonly of objects I find really beautiful. Im no longer blindly satisfied with having something to remember when I grow old. I realize that life will simply pass me by if I stay behind the camera, busy preserving the present so as to live it in the future.I dont want to wake up one day and have nothing but a pile of pictures and notes. Maybe I wont have as many exact representations of people and places; maybe Ill forget certain facts, but at least the experiences will always remain inside me. I dont live to make memoriesI just live, and the memories form themselves.64. Before the age of thirteen, the author regarded keeping a diary as a way of _.A. observing her school routineB. expressing her satisfactionC. impressing her classmatesD. preserving her history65. What caused a change in the authors understanding of keeping a diary?A. A dull night on the journey.B. The beauty of the great valley.C. A striking quotation from a book.D. Her concerns for future generations.66. What does the author put in her diary now?A. Notes and beautiful pictures.B. Special thoughts and feelings.C. Detailed accounts of daily activities.D. Descriptions of unforgettable events.67. The author es to realize that to live a meaningful life is _.A. to experience itB. to live the present in the futureC. to make me
