It 28 to me the other day that I might not have e to 29 life as I do if I hadnt been blind. I believe in life now. I am not so sure that I would have believed in it so deeply, otherwise. I dont mean that I would prefer to go without my eyes. I simply mean that the 30 of them made me appreciate more 31 I had leftLife, I believe, asks a continuous series of 32 to reality. The more readily a person is able to make these adjustments, the more meaningful his own world bees. The adjustment is never easy. But I was lucky. My parents and my teachers saw something in me-a 33 to live, you might call it- which I didnt see, and they made me want to fight it out with 34 .The hardest lesson I had to learn was to believe in myself.

When I say 36_ in myself I am not talking about simply the kind of self-confidence that helps me down an unfamiliar staircase alone. I mean something bigger than that: an assurance that I am, 37 imperfections, a real, positive person; that somewhere in the plex pattern of people there is a special place where I can make myself fit.It took me years to discover and strengthen this assurance. It had to start with the most 38 things. Once a man gave me an indoor baseball.

Service animalsBSome people believe that international sport creates goodwill between the nations and that if countries play games together they will learn to live together. Others say that the opposite is true: that international contests encourage false national pride and lead to misunderstanding and hatred. There is probably some truth in both arguments, but in recent years the Olympic Games have done little to support the view that sport encourages international brotherhood. Not only was the Olympics the scene of a tragic incident involving the murder of athletes, but the Games were also ruined by lesser incidents caused mainly by minor national contests.One country received its second-place medals with visible indignation after the hockey final. There had been noisy scenes at the end of the hockey match, the losers objecting to the final decisions. They were convinced that one of their goals should not have been disallowed and that their opponents victory was unfair. Their manager was in a rage when he said: “This wasnt hockey. Hockey and the International Hockey Federation are finished. The president of the Federation said later that such behavior could result in the suspension of the team for at least three years.The American basketball team announced that they would not yield first place to Russia, after a disputable end to their contest. The game had ended in disturbance. It was thought at first that the United States had won by a single point, but it was announced that there were three seconds still to play. A Russian player then threw the ball from one end of the court to the other, and another player popped it into the basket. It was the first time the U.S.A. had ever lost an Olympic basketball match. An appeal jury debated the matter for four and a half hours before announcing that the result would stand. The American players then voted not to receive the silver medals.Incidents of this kind will continue as long as sport is played petitively rather than for the love of the game. The suggestion that athletes should pete as individuals, or in non-national teams, might be too much to hope for. But in the present organization of the Olympics there is far too much that encourages aggressive patriotism.49. What did the manager mean by saying, Hockey and the International Hockey Federation are finished”?A. His team would no longer take part in international games.B. There should be no more hockey matches organized by the Federation.C. Hockey and the Federation are both ruined by the unfair decisions.D. The Federation should be dismissed in the future.50. The author gives the two examples in Paragraphs 2 and 3 to show_ .A. how national pride led to undesirable incidents in international gamesB. that sportsmen are less aggressive than they used to beC. that petitiveness in the games discourages international friendshipD. that unfair decisions are mon in the Olympic Games51. What conclusion can be drawn from the passage?A. The organization of the Olympic Games must be improved.B. Athletes should pete as individuals in the Olympic Games.C. Sport should be played petitively rather than for the love of the game.D. International contests will lead to misunderstanding between nations.CYeast(酵母) cells feeding on the glucose(葡萄糖) in human blood might one day power implants such as pacemakers(起搏器). A living source of power that is able to regenerate itself would get rid of the need for regular operations to replace batteries.Now that prospect is a step nearer. A team at the University of British Columbia in Vancouver, Canada, has created tiny microbial fuel cells by packaging yeast cells in a flexible capsule. They went on to show the fuel cells can generate power from a drop of human blood plasma. Such fuel cells would be especially useful for devices, such as intraspinal(脊柱内) microelectrodes for treating paralysis(瘫痪), which need to be implanted in places where replacing a battery is tricky. Conventional fuel cells rely on high-temperature activator to remove electrons from fuels and generate a current. The idea with microbial fuel cells, which are being investigated as large-scale power sources, is to exploit the wide range of low-temperature activatorenzymes(酶)found in living cells.The easiest way to do this is to simply steal the electrons produced when cells start to break down food. This can be done with the help of an “electron mediator” a chemical small enough to pass into cells, grab some electrons, and spread out again. The electron mediator steals some of the electrons produced when the yeast metabolizes (代谢) glucose and delivers them to the positive side of the cell, creating a small current. On the other side, hydrogen ions that spread out of the yeast cells bine with oxygen to create water.The yeast-based feul cell produces around 40 nanowatts of power, pared to the microwatt a typical wristwatch battery might produce. That might be enough power for some devices if it were coupled with a capacitor to allow energy to be stored. The yeast could also be genetically engineered to boost its power output.The work is a step in the right direction, but huge challenges remain. For instance, to keep the yeast cells healthy, their waste products will need to be removed without allowing any harmful substances to filter into the blood stream. It may take us some time to realize it.52. What can be inferred from para 1?A. We can use yeast cells instead of batteries in the operation now.B. Human blood provides certain fuel for medical devices in the operation.C. We often put some medical devices into the patients bodies if necessary.D. Thanks to the living sources, we neednt do any surgeries any more.53. The underlined part “Electron mediator” is used to refer to_ .A. a tiny chemical which is good at breaking down foodB. a small chemical which is good at stealing bloodC. a tiny chemical which can help with creating currentD. a small chemical with which we can steal all the electrons54. How much power can be produced by a yeast-based fuel cell?A. It can generate the same amount of electricity with a specially-designed battery.B. It can produce the same amount of electricity with a mon battery for wristwatch.C. It can provide enough electricity for some devices.D. It can make more power with the help of an engineer.55. Whats the authors opinion about the yeast-based fuel cells?A. The author thinks them interesting. B. The author considers them promising.C. The author makes no ments on them. D. The author worries about the future of them.DI have only once been in trouble with the law. The whole process of being arrested and taken to court was a rather unpleasant experience at the time, but it makes a good story now. What makes it rather disturbing was the arbitrary circumstances both of my arrest and my subsequent fate in court.It happened in February about twelve years ago. I had left school a couple of months before that and was not due to go to university until the following October. I was still living at home at the time.One morning I was in Richmond, a suburb of London near where I lived. I was looking for a temporary job so that I could save up some money to go traveling. As it was a fine day and I was in no hurry, I was taking my time, looking in shop windows, strolling in the park, and sometimes just stopping and looking around me. It must have been this obvious aimlessness that led to my downfall.It was about half past eleven when it happened. I was just walking out of the local library, having unsuccessfully sought employment there, when I saw a man walking across the road with the obvious intention of talking to me. I thought he was going to ask me the time. Instead, he said he was a police officer and he was arresting me. At first I thought it was some kind of joke.But then another policeman appeared, this time in uniform, and I was left in no doubt.“But what for?” I asked.“Wandering with intent to mit an arrestable offence.” he said.What offence?” I asked.“Theft.” he said.“Theft of what?” I asked.Milk bottles, he said, and with a perfectly straight face too!“Oh,” I saidIt turned out there had been a lot of petty thefts in the area, particularly that of stealing milk bottles from doorsteps.Then I made my big mistake. At the time I was n
