Thats not the only thing marking her off from her classmates at Fort Hays State University. Shes 95, and when she graduates on May 12th, it's believed she'll become the world's oldest person to be awarded a college degree.She didn't plan it that way. She just loved to learn as a teenager on a Hodgeman County farm, then as a teacher at a one-room school after graduating from high school and later as a farm wife and mother.“Even as I grew older, that enthusiasm for study was still there. I came here with no thought of it being an unusual thing at all, she said.She's getting offers for television appearances, and reporters show up wanting to interview her. She says she enjoys it. “It brings attention to this college and this part of the state.She added, “I don't think much of my age. It might limit what I can do. As long as I have my mind and health, it's just a number.Ochs started taking classes at Dodge City Community College after her husband died in 1972.After taking a class here and there over the years, she was close to having enough hours for an undergraduate degree.At 5-foot-2, her white hair pulled into a bun (圆形发髻) , she walks energetically down hallways to classes with her books in a big handbag.Students nod and smile; she's described as witty (睿智的) , charming and down-to-earth.“Everybody has accepted me, and I feel just like another student, she said.“The students respect me.An added joy for Ochs is that her 21-year-old granddaughter, Alexandra Ochs, will graduate with her.Just like any other eager college graduate, the elder Ochs can't wait for lifes next challenge. “Im going to seek employment on a cruise ship as a storyteller, she said, smiling. The determined look in her eye leaves no doubt. Shes serious.41. The first paragraph mainly tells us that Nola Ochs is_.A. hard-workingB. successfulC. differentD. energetic42. From the underlined sentence “She didn't plan it that way, we know that Nola Ochs didn't _. A. mean to become the oldest college graduateB. want to stop learning as a young girlC. plan to be a farm wife and motherD. really enjoy learning at such an old age43. What's Nola Ochs' attitude towards her age? A. She feels sad about it. B. She is proud of it. C. She tries to fight against it. D. She pays little attention to it. 44. In the passage nothing is said about Ochs' _.A. educational experience, B. relationship with othersC. major subject D. physical appearanceB These days, there are very few wild animals left in the UK. The wolves have gone. The bears have been hunted to extinction. Fortunately, there are a few badgers獾- Oh, well, actually, not for long as the British government has just decided to kill them too ! But why?Badgers are fascinating creatures. The black and white mammals live underground in “ setts , which they dig out of the earth. They are extremely brave, fighting off larger animals such as bears and wolves. The problem is that some badgers carry “ Bovine Tuberculosis ( BTB ), an infectious disease caused by the bacterium Mycobacterium Bovis ( M. Bovis ) which can cause TB in some other animals, including cattle.For farmers, this is a serious issue. In 1998 in the UK, almost 6,000 cows were killed to control the disease. And in , more than 30,000 animals were destroyed. Its expensive too. Bovine TB costs the UK about 100 million per year. And some believe that the disease could end up costing the economy 9 billion over the next 40 years if nothing is done about it.Experts say that badgers are responsible for about 50% of the infected cattle. So, after much debate, the government has agreed to a badger cull杀戮. This will mean about 30,000 of the innocent creatures will be wiped out to fight the disease. Environment Secretary Caroline Spelman admitted that there was “ great strength of feeling about it, but said, “ I believe this is the right way forward. Of course, many are against the measure, including conservationists and animal rights activists. They claim that killing the badgers in controlled zones wouldnt work because badgers from neighboring areas would simply move into the empty setts and become infected too. Furthermore, they believe that the way cattle are raised intensively, and transported around to lots of different farms during their lives is probably the biggest cause of the spread of the disease.Most ordinary people are against the measure too. A survey suggests about two-thirds are against killing the badgers, with majorities against killing them regardless of age, region and gender. One of the alternatives to the cull involves using vaccine(疫苗) on badgers. However, this costs an average of 2,250 per year per square kilometer. Trapping and shooting badgers costs 2,500 per year, but shooting free-running badgers only costs about 200 per year ( per square kilometer ). So, with that in mind, its easy to see how the government arrived at their decision. Money talks!45. Why does the government want to kill the badgers ?A. Because there is no other choice to cut the spread of the disease.B. Because badgers carry TB, a disease which can infect other animals.C. Because they almost wiped out an entire population of cattle.D. Because it might be an effective way to fight TB at the least expense.46. Which of the following statements is TRUE ?A. Some people object to culling because it costs much more to trap and shoot badgers.B. In the following four decades, 9 billion will be spent on TB.C. Based on the survey, people of different age groups, regions and both genders are against killing the badgers.D. Caroline Spelman thought badgers should be culled despite peoples strong reaction.47. Who is strongly for the killing the badgers according the passage?A. The government B. Most ordinary people C. Conservationists D. Animal rights activists48. What is the authors attitude toward governments decision? A. SupportiveB. CriticalC. ObjectiveD. Unconcerned49. Which is the best title for the passage?A. the Control of TBB. the Voice of the BadgersC. Badger DangerD. the Threat of the BadgersC BEIJING - Hailing Mo Yan as the first Chinese citizen that won the Nobel Prize in Literature, the public has started to consider the way to enhance Chinese literature's global presence.The prize indicates that Chinese contemporary authors and their works are getting the world's attention, which promp ts writers and amateurs to continue their work, according to Wang Meng, a renowned Chinese writer. But "the prize came a little late," said Xue Yongwu, dean of the College of Liberal Arts, Journalism and Communication with Ocean University of China (OUC). There have been many accomplished writers of modern and contemporary literature in China, including Lu Xun, Ba Jin and Mao Dun, who should have won the prize earlier, he noted. China's splendid ancient literature, which extends thousands of years, has been widely acknowledged across the world. However, the contemporary literature failed to get enough recognition from outside the country due to its short history and complex political influences, he explained. Language has also been a barrier. Only a small proportion of Chinese literature has been translated into foreign languages, mainly English. The quality of some translated editions needs improvement, said Xue. In addition to language skills, translation requires high-level comprehension and explanation of culture and art. It's hard for people without any literature background to produce a translation that fully reserves the aesthetic(美学的) sense of the original version, according to Ren Dongsheng, professor with the College of Foreign Languages of OUC. The 57-year-old writer is known for his description of Chinese rural life. The settings for his works range from the 1911 revolution, Japan's invasion to Cultural Revolution. Mo combines hallucinatory(幻觉的) realism with folk tales, which is more appealing to the taste of Western readers than the styles adopted by many of his peers, such as Yu Hua, Su Tong and Wang Shuo, said Zhang Hongsheng, dean of the Literature Department of the Communication University of China. However, "Nobel Prize is not the unique standard to judge the achievements of a writer. Prizes presented by different organizations adopt various evaluation criteria," said Xu Yan, a literature critic. The quality of a literary work is always judged by the topic, language, structure, the way of story-telling, imagination and some other significant elements. People's tastes vary from different social background and cultural mechanism, she added. Chinese contemporary literature, which appeared in 1949, has seen a trend of diversification since the country adopted the market economy in 1992. "The prize is a positive sign that the West begins to recognize Chinese literature. But it's an acknowledgement of individual efforts, and Chinese literature revival still has a long way to go," said Zhang. Xue called upon Chinese writers to produce quality works with international perspectives. Good literature should reveal social problems and people's concerns while create the beauty of art. "The society should provide favorable environment for the growth of Chinese writers," he st
