I was in a parking lot when a tall，sincere man approached me asking for help with directions. He had a printout of Google maps from the airport to a 31 on the main street, but just couldn't 32 it. He clearly didn't have a phone，so after confirming his written directions，I mapped it on my 33 and showed him exactly where he needed to go.
He mentioned that he had 34 going there，but there was no such street number and he couldn't locate his hotel. I 35 it again for him，he thanked me with a big 36 ，shook my hand，and took off. I got into my car and he got into his，and we 37 ways. As I drove to the next store and went in，I found something wasn't sitting right about the 38 —so I googled again and 39 that he was looking for the right 40 but in a city a half hour away! Unfortunately it had been several minutes，and in the peak rush hour time，the 41 of finding him was slim to none. But I decided to give it a 42 and took off in that direction. I had barely 43 what his car looked like，and was just about to 44 .I parked my car and was 45 what else I could do when the man drove right by and 46 over into a nearby parking spot，still 47 about where he was. When I pulled in next to him，he couldn't believe it.“ 48 did you find me?!” he asked. “I'm not sure，but I 49 that you are in the wrong city！” I showed him the right directions，and after more smiles，laughs and a handshake，we parted ways again. Probably we'll never 50 again，but that makes it all the more sweet. 31. A. store B. bank C. school D. hotel

阅读下列短文，从每题的四个选项A、 B、 C和D中。选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。
A
Her opponent was the defending champion whose childhood dream was to win the French Open. She was the underdog who never saw the tournament on TV as a girl in China and never thought she?d get far on the red clay of the French Open, one of the four tennis Grand Slams (大满贯).
But it was Li Na who fell on her back in triumph(胜利) on June 4. Nearly two hours? hitting gave Li a 2-0 victory over Francesca Schiavone of Italy and made her the only tennis player, man or woman, from Asia to take home a Grand Slam title.
Chinese media have been swept along by the praise. An editorial carried by Xinhua News Agency said “Li Na is the best PR (Public Relations) for China,” and called her an “outstanding name card for the country” and a “brilliant diplomat”. It compared Li to Chinese NBA star Yao Ming, noting that both “can speak very fluent English, and both of them have a kind of sense of humor that is appreciated by foreigners”.
Success has come late for Li. She once gave up tennis for two years and studied journalism at Wuhan?s Huazhong University of Science and Technology. But in 2004, she returned and continues to play the best tennis she could.
“Dream comes true,” Li said after the match. “I am so happy that my efforts have paid off.” Li has often been seen as a rebel(叛逆者), or at least a representative of a new generation. She has a tattoo(纹身), has dyed her hair many different colors and has even been known to yell at her husband in public. “The plain-speaking, tattooed, individualist has the ability to transcend the sport and become a global star”, the BBC news reported.
No matter how important the French Open championship is, Li is not resting on her

laurels(桂冠) — she?s already thinking about winning a second major title. “When you have the first one, naturally you will think about the second one. Now I have more confidence playing on other surfaces,” Li told China Daily, as she prepares for the Wimbledon Championship, which will start on June 20.
51. Which year did Li Na begin to study journalism?
A. In 2002. B. In 2004. C. In 2006. D. In 2000. 52. It can be inferred from the passage that ______.
A. Li Na?s childhood dream was to win the French Open B. compared to Yao Ming, Li Na speak more fluent English
C. Francesca Schiavone was given a 2-0 failure in the Open championship after nearly two hours? hitting
D. the BBC reported that she has a tattoo, has dyed her hair and yelled at her husband in public
53. According to the passage, we can know that ______.
A. after the Open championship, Li Na would become normal but not a rebel B. Li Na is full of confidence to get a second major title
C. Li Na can stand for China and become a brilliant diplomat
D. Li Na would pay more attention to her own personality and wouldn?t yell at her husband 54. What is the closest meaning of the underlined word ?transcend ?? A. beat B. win C. go beyond D. carry out 55. What is the best title of the article?
A. Praise to Li Na from Chinese media B. Li Na, a rising tennis queen C. A wonderful tennis match D. Li Na?s road to success

I used to think of myself as a person learned in books, but my bookshelves told a different story. Apart from a few Indian novels and an Australian book, my literature collection only consisted of British and American titles. Worse still, I couldn?t ever found anything in translation. My reading was limited to stories by English-speaking authors.
So, at the start of 2012, I set myself the challenge of trying to read a book from every country in a year to find out what I was missing.
With no idea where to get those books, I was unlikely to find publications from nearly 200 nations on the shelves of my local bookshop, so I decided to ask the readers all over the world for help. I created a blog called A Year of Reading the World and put out an appeal for suggestions of titles that I could read in English.
The response was amazing. People all over the world were getting in touch with me, offering ideas and book lists. Some posted me books from their home countries. In addition, several writers, like Turkmenistan?s Ak Welsapar and Panama?s Juan David Morgan, sent me unpublished translations of their novels, giving me a rare opportunity to read works unavailable in Britain. Even with such an extraordinary team of bibliophiles(爱书者) behind me, however, sourcing books was no easy task. With translations making up only around 4.5 per cent of literary works published in the UK, getting English versions of stories was tricky.
One by one, the books from the countries on the list filled my heart with laughter, love, anger, hope and fear. Lands that had once seemed exotic and remote became close and familiar to me. At its best, I learned, reading makes the world real.
