A

My sister Grace Halloran spent most of her teen years in and out of the juvenile institutions(少管所) for minor offenses but, at 18 she was sent to prison for stealing a car. After three years behind the bars, she was released. Only a few years later, she was given a sentence far worse—she had an incurable and progressive disorder and would be totally blind. Meanwhile, Grace was also happily pregnant but terrified she would never see her child’s face. She believed she would succeed as a mother, although “success” had never been in her vocabulary before. She managed well despite fading vision.

For years she kept consulting specialists about her eye problems, only to be told that her son would also be blind by the time he was a teenager. She swore to find something, anything, to prevent him from facing her fate. When conventional medicine offered no hope, Grace began a personal quest. She entered a local college. The office for disabled students had her reading assignments put on cassette tapes so that she could listen and learn. She began studying anatomy, physiology and other health sciences. Everyone knowing her was astonished at her persistence to educate herself, restore her vision and keep focused on raising a son who would have perfect eyesight.

Eventually Grace’s own way worked and she earned the Ph. D. in Holistic Health for her successful work in improving serious eye disorder. Her eyesight slowly improved so much that she was able to qualify for a driving license. Even better, her son had perfect vision and was accepted into the Air Force.

21. From the passage we can know that Grace used to be _______.

A. aggressive B. troublesome C. ignorant D. competitive

22. How did Grace regain her eyesight?

A. By following the treatment from specialists.

B. By just trying what was taught in the local college.

C. By practicing the principles sought by herself.

D. By adopting the experience from other patients.

23. What is the power of Grace’s recovery?

A. Her love for her son. B. Her patience as a mother.

C. Her desire to cure the blind. D. Her determination to earn the Ph. D.

24. The underlined word “quest” in Paragraph 2 probably means “___________”.

A. adventure B. profession C. harvest D. search

B

When the opportunity arose for me to do some summer traveling, my first urge was to southeast Asia. Being budget-conscious, I eventually decided on Thailand.

I’d been introduced to the country by the well-received 2010 Thai film Uncle Boonmee Who Can Recall His Past Lives, which sleepily brings out a land in which a dreamy sense of the unknown is so obvious and superstition(迷信) is not only a natural response, but a wise one.

On the warm and rainy island of Phuket, I found the best way to access Thailand’s treasures was by motorbike. I rented one for four days for about 200 RMB and went on a tour guided mainly by fantasy.

The Thailand I saw by motorbike was one where religion is ever-present. Though Buddhism is the country’s official religion, the footprints of other faiths can be found all over. Statues of the Hindu gods Shiva and Ganesha aren’t uncommon in the country’s large number of Buddhist temples, and Muslim places of worship are splendidly equipped in communities in Thailand’s south.

My motorbike allowed me to do more than just see and feel Thailand’s rich cultural heritage, it also allowed me to taste it. Tourism is a leading industry in Thailand, so in top destinations like Chiang Mai, Phuket and Bangkok, there are plenty of restaurants that appeal to international visitors with easy and familiar eats, especially around hotels and hostels. Finding something that tastes truly authentic, fresh prawns cooked in yellow curry and served with spicy beans, for example, is made much easier with a motorbike.

More than anything, my motorbike allowed me to escape the shabby, crowded spaces Thailand is famous for. Deep in the mountains, with the sound of my 125cc engine melting off into the jungle, I found the Thailand I wanted, calm, fascinating and steaming with an ancient temptation.

Thailand is a place thick with mood and myth, and if you’re wiling to walk in, you’ll be rewarded.

25. What attracted the author towards Thailand?

A. A Thai film. B. Thai food.

C. Thai Buddhism. D. Thai history.

26. We learn from Paragraph 4 that ________.

A. Hindu is resisted in Thailand B. Thailand is a holy land of religion

C. Thailand is a motorcycle country. D. Muslim exists mainly in Thailand’s north

27. The author writes the text of share his _______ in Thailand.

A. mysterious inspection B. wonderful investigation

C. fantastic motorbike ride D. authentic sights and tastes

C

If there’s one thing the British are good at, it’s watching telly. You may think the Americans would beat us at that, but we’ve taken and turned it into an art form. Like most people, our favourite TV subject is ourselves, which has led to a number of shows aiming to be as British as possible. So if you want to learn how to be British, sit down to a few episodes of these distinctly British shows。

DOCTOR WHO

　 Political aside, Doctor Who owes its long television life not only to a brilliant central character, terrifying alien foes and intelligent scriptwriting, but also to a distinctly British way of doing things. If the Earth is the Doctor’s favourite planet, it’s clear that Britain is his favourite country。

SHERLOCK

　　The global popularity of the modernized Sherlock Holmes series has proven yet again that no amount of big blockbuster all-guns-blazing cop shows can compete with the reserved and sharp detective work of one of Britain’s most well-loved characters. Benedict Cumberbatch has been rightly lauded for his depiction of the fast-thinking private eye, which has proven again we Brits are good at more than drinking tea。

BLACKADDER

　　Similar to the Pythons, the brilliance of Blackadder is set in its genius application of witty and classically British humor. From the dulcet tones of lead man Rowan Atkinson to the chumsy sidekick Tony Robinson, there’s no better show for telling what makes the British British and having a good laugh at it, including an entire season of pointing fun at the French, one of the most British activities.

FRIENDS

　　I know what you’re thinking – Friends is an American show, about Americans’ living in America! How can it be distinctly British? But perhaps you’re
