B Hohenzollern Castle. Germany. This fairytale castle is the historical seat of the Prussian Kings and German Emperors. Its origin dates back to the Middle Ages—it was built in the 11th century, then completely destroyed in 1423 and reconstructed in 1461. The view from the castle that stands on top of Mount Hohenzollern is as attractive as the complex itself. The castle is located about 50 kilometers south of Stuttgart, the capital of the Baden-Württemberg state. Castle Howard. England. Although it looks like a castle, Howard is actually a stately home—a private residence of the Howard family that has lived in the complex for more than 300 years. The house, located in North Yorkshire, England, is one of the largest residences in Britain. Its construction started at the end of the 17th century and lasted around 15 years. Among the remarkable features of the castle are fabulous gardens and a vast expanse of parkland surrounding the whole complex. Alc",zar of Segovia. Spain. Segovia Castle, located in an ancient town of Segovia in central Spain, started off as an Arab fortress(要塞) in the 12th century. Its unique shape of the bow of a ship makes the fortress one of the most distinctive castles in the country. In the Middle Ages Alc",zar was a key fortress in the defense of the country. Apparently, it was a source of inspiration for many of the castles produced by Walt Disney. Eilean Donan Castle. Scotland. Built in the 13th century to hold back the Vikings, today Eilean Donan Castle is one of the most famous sites in Scotland. Most probably it was named after Bishop Donan who came to Scotland in the 6th century. It is situated on an island, surrounded by the amazing scenery of the Scottish highlands. The fortress has been rebuilt at least four times and for around 200 years it actually laid in ruins. Guaita Fortress. San Marino. Guaita Fortress, located on Guaita peak and overlooking the city of San Marino, is an iconic image of this micro country embraced by Italy. The fortress was constructed in the 11th century and served as a prison for some time. Guaita is one of the Three Towers of San Marino, located on the three peaks of Monte Titano. The towers are painted on the San Marino",s national flag and its coat of arms.

Fake drugs may contain harmful ingredients or no active ingredient at all. A global treaty(条约) to put down on the deadly trade of them is urgently needed, say experts.
Currently, there are more penalties around the use of illegal tobacco than fake drugs. Writing in the British Medical Journal, experts urge the World Health Organization to set up a framework similar to that on tobacco control to safeguard the public.
WHO says more than one in every 10 drug products in poorer nations are fake. In richer countries, medicine safety is better, but substandard(不合标准的) drugs still cause thousands of unfavorable reactions and some deaths.
According to the survey, while governments and drug companies both condemn unsafe medicine, it is difficult to achieve agreement on action because discussions too often become conflicts such as medicine pricing or intellectual property rights.
Although some countries prohibit fake medicines under national law, there is no global treaty which means organized criminals can continue to trade using countries where laws are loose or absent, which also means governments can",t cooperate internationally.
Similarly, a new agreement under the Framework Convention on Tobacco Control requires tobacco products to be tracked and criminalizes(宣告……为犯法行为) illegal trade globally—“oddly making the law tougher on cigarette falsification(造假) than on medicine falsification”, says an expert Amir Attaran.
The agreement will now make it a requirement to track and trace tobacco products. Cigarette packets can carry serial numbers so it is possible to track them from beginning to end.
Amir Attaran continued, “If this is something you can do for a ＄5 cigarette packet, I do not see why we can",t do it for ＄3,000 packet of drugs that could save your life. In Canada we have seen a fake version of the heart drug Avastin come into the country that contains no active drug, just starch(淀粉) and nail polish remover. When you are dealing with a medicine like that if there was a serial number on it you would be able to easily see if it was fake.”
WHO says it provides direct country and regional support for strengthening medicines regulation.
And it is up to its 194 member states to decide if a treaty is the way forward.
In 2011, a directive to protect patients from fake medicines was approved by the
European Parliament.
( )64. What is the main topic of the article?
A. It",s urgent to set up a global treaty to put down on the deadly trade of fake drugs.
B. WHO has done little to make a regulation on medicine falsification. C. People have been accustomed to fake tobacco.
D. An agreement will be reached to make it a requirement to track and trace medicines. ( )65. With the help of serial numbers, people can . A. take advantage of lack of strict regulations B. avoid internatinal trade
C. track down the origin of medicines D. find out the ingredients of medicines
( )66. What does the author suggest in the passage?
A. In richer countries, medicine safety is better than that in poorer countries. B. A law against illegal trade on fake medicines has come into effect since 2011 in Europe.
C. Whether a treaty is the way forward depends on the 194 countries in WHO.
D. It",s abnormal that more attention is paid to cigarette falsification than that of medicine.
D
We see few customers in Lea",s Antiquarian Booksellers, less than half-dozen a day on average. There is a flurry(紧张) of activity in September when the students come to buy copies of the new year",s set texts; another in May when they bring them back after the exams. At other times of the year we can go days without seeing a client. More commonly visitors to the shop are people who, having heard about us from a friend of a friend, and finding themselves near Cambridge, have made a roundabout way. They have expectation on their faces as they step into the shop, and not infrequently apologize for disturbing us. They are nice people, as quiet and as friendly as the books themselves. But mostly it is just Father, me and the books.
How do they make ends meet? You might think, if you saw how few customers come and go. But you see, the shop is, in financial terms, just a sideline. The proper business takes place elsewhere. We make our living on the basis of perhaps half a dozen deals a year. This is how it works: Father knows all the world",s great collectors, and he knows the world",s great collections. If you were to watch him at the auctions(拍卖会) or book fairs that he attends frequently, you would notice how often he is approached by quietly spoken, quietly dressed individuals, who draw him aside for a quiet word. Their eyes are anything but quiet. Does he know of... they ask him, and has he ever heard whether... A book will be mentioned. Father answers vaguely. It doesn",t do to build up hope. These things usually lead nowhere. But on the other hand, if he were to hear anything... And if he doesn",t already have it, he makes a note of the person",s address in a little green notebook. Then nothing happens for quite some time. But later—a few months or many months, there is no knowing—at another auction or book fair, seeing a certain other person, he will inquire, very hesitantly, whether... and again the book is mentioned. More often than not, it ends there. But sometimes, following the conversations, there may be an exchange of letters. Father spends a great deal of time composing letters. In French, German, Italian, even occasionally Latin. Nine times out of ten the answer is a polite two-line refusal. But sometimes—half a dozen times a year—the reply is the beginning of a journey. A journey in which Father collects a book here, and delivers it there. He is rarely gone for more than forty-eight hours. Six times a year. This is our livelihood.
The shop itself makes next to no money. It is a place to write and receive letters. A place to while away the hours waiting for the next international book fair. I don",t pretend reality is the same for everyone—the shop is the very heart of the affair. It is a store of books, a place of safety for all the volumes, once so lovingly written, that at present no one seems to want.
( )67. The fact that customers make an apology after stepping into the shop indicates that .
A. they have put the booksellers to some trouble B. they are such nice and friendly people
C. the bookshop has few customers and is very quiet
D. they come to the bookshop with no intention of buying books
( )68. The underlined word “sideline” in the second paragraph probably means an activity . A. one is not skilled in
B. the source of one",s life depends on
C. that can bring someone a large sum of money
D. one does besides his main business for extra money
( )69. Why does the author",s father answer other collectors", questions vaguely when attending auctions or book fairs?
A. Because he is not familiar with these collectors. B. Because he thinks the price they give is a bit low. C. Because he is not sure whether he can find the book. D. Because he would like to possess the book by himself. ( )70. What can we learn from the passage? A. The bookshop has been running in the red.
B. The bookshop is a good place for the author to read.
C. The author and his father have a deep affection for the bookshop. D. The author",s father possesses ample collections that others need. 第四部分:任务型阅读(共10小题;每小题1分,满分10分)
请认真阅读下列短文,并根据所读内容在文章后表格中的空格里填入一个最恰当的单．．词。
注意:每个空格只填1个单词。
Animal feed is the biggest cost for most cattle producers. In the United States, the cost of hay, grains and other feed has risen sharply because of a drought. At the same time, wildfires this year burned more than a million hectares of North American rangeland(牧场).
Jack Field raises cattle in the northwestern state of Washington. To save money, he has made plans to truck his small herd of cows three hundred kilometers to feed on crop stubble. Crop stubble is what remains after crops have been harvested.
Moving his cattle from farm to farm costs money and time. But he says if he can avoid feeding them hay, he can still make a profit.
Tim DelCurto is a beef scientist at Oregon State University. He is working with ranchers(牧场主) and feedlot owners to help them find lower cost ways to feed cattle. He says cattle can eat things like grass-seed straw and distillers grains. These grains are left over from ethanol(乙醇) fuel production.
He says cattle can also eat cannery waste and items rejected by vegetable processors—like misshapen green beans, carrots, even French fries.
“Now I think one of the unique qualities of beef cattle—and sheep would fit this, too—is that they can virtually digest anything.”
The rising cost of feed has led agricultural research universities to give greater attention to what experts call “feed efficiency”. The University of Idaho has a cattle barn where sensors measure exactly how much food each cow eats.
Professor Rod Hill says just that animals are growing at the same rate does not mean they eat the same amount of food. In fact the difference in how efficiently their bodies transform feed into meat, fat, bone and hide might be surprising.
“These animals are—for your eye and mine—they look quite homogenous(同种类的). But the variation in intake for animals growing at the same rate is of the order of thirty-five percent.”
This is a case where humans and animals have something in common.
“You know, we talk to people who say, ?All I have to do is, is, is look at the candy store and, and I put on three pounds.? And so we don",t actually quantify it so precisely in humans, we know in humans that some people can eat a little and they can put on quite a bit of weight and some people can eat a lot and hardly put on any weight. So it",s a biological phenomenon.”
Rod Hill says ranchers can use selective breeding to get the same growth with less feed. But he says not to focus too much on one thing, like reducing fat.
“Less-efficient animals are slightly fatter, and more-efficient animals are slightly leaner. So we wouldn",t want to just go after efficiency and then forget about the body composition. So, we wouldn",t want animals to become too lean, so that might reduce marbling(肥瘦相间的肉) in the product, especially in the quality cuts where the profit is.” Title: Improving “Feed Efficiency” in Cattle Problem Animal feed in the US becomes too (71) for most cattle producers this year. (72) ● A (73) did great harm to the growth of hay, grains and other feed.
