8、n D. IndonesiaBWhen I was a boy there were no smart phones, computers were something you saw on STAR TREK, and our television only got one channel clearly. Still, I was never bored. The fields, hills, and woodlands around my home were the perfect playgrounds whose adventures were only limited by my
9、imagination. I can remember once hiking to a nearby lake and slowly walking around it. At the backside of it I was amazed to find an old, one lane, dirt road that I had never seen before. I immediately set out to travel it. It was full of muddy tire tracks and deep woods bordered it on both sides, b
10、ut exploring it still seemed like a fine adventure.I walked on and on for what seemed like hours. I am sure my guardian angel was whispering in my ear to turn around and head back home but I was stubborn and even a bit stupid, so I walked on. The dirt road gave way to a gravel one and then a paved o
11、ne, yet there was still neither a car nor a house in sight. My legs were getting tired. I noticed that the sun was starting to go down and I grew scared. I didnt want to end up trapped on this road in the dark of night, but I was sure it would be dark before I could make my way back to the lake agai
12、n.I continued to walk on with the something growing inside of me. My heart was pounding and my legs were aching. I was almost in tears when I turned one last curve and saw something in the distance. It was a house that I recognized. My heart leapt up! I jumped up and down and laughed out loud. I kne
13、w the way home! It was still over a mile away but my legs felt like feathers and I hurried back to my house in no time. I walked in with a big smile on my face just in time for dinner. Then I ended my adventure with a good nights sleep.I often thought of that experience recently. Actually, in our li
14、fe, all roads, no matter how they twist and turn, can lead us home again. They can lead us to our homes here on Earth. They can lead us to our homes in our hearts.

18、eveloped nation has access to more information than some of the greatest minds in history, such as Socrates or Da Vinci, ever had in their lifetimes. Some critics of this phenomenon fear that instantaneous（瞬时的）access to all of this information has the potential to overload users, however. Instead of
19、 researching deeper into one particular subject, many people are now dabbling on(浅尝）the surface of many interests and subjects of study at the same time. Author Richard Foreman described those who have spread themselves thinly across a wide range of subjects as pancake people.For many generations, s
20、cholars and artists tended to concentrate their energy on one particular subject. For William Shakespeare, that interest was literature; for Mozart, it was musical composition; and for Newton, physics. Visual artists were not expected to understand higher mathematics, nor were philosophers (哲学家）expe
21、cted to study engineering. Without widespread access to libraries or the ability to spread their latest creations to the rest of the world instantly, many people worked hard in relative obscurity（冷门）to explore the depths of their chosen jobs or subjects of interest.With the development of the Intern
22、et and other sources of information that can be accessed quickly and easily, many people attempt to gain at least a working knowledge of many different subjects. As a result, a new generation have essentially become the proverbial jacks of all trades, but masters of none. A linguist（语言学家）from the 18
23、th may have studied Spanish or French until he or she could translate even the most complex literary works written in those languages, but modern pancake people only learn enough of the language to travel as a tourist.

Whats the authors attitude to pancake people?A. Disapproving. B. Favorable. C. Doubtful. D. Unconcerne
27、d.D Traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) is gaining global popularity. According to a government white paper, TCM has been introduced in 183 countries and regions around the world.Westerners understanding of TCM, however, may be limited to acupuncture, cupping and massage(针灸，拔罐和按摩). For instance, the
28、purple, injury-like marks left on U. S. swimmer Michael Phelps，back from cupping for the purpose of relaxing his muscles and reducing pain became the center of attention during the Rio Olympics in 2016.As a matter of fact, Chinese herbs play a more important role in getting rid of diseases and keepi
29、ng the body in good condition in the TCM treatment system than physical treatment. It is therefore disheartening to know that while 103 World Health Organization member countries have given approval to the practice of acupuncture, not many recognize Chinese herbal medicine. TCM falls far behind West
30、ern medicine owing partly to the slow development of Chinese herbs.Herbs are made into pills, powder and soup, and the kind of herbs used, their quality and quantity, and the processing of the ingredients (原材料) jointly determine the effectiveness of the prescription. Compared with Western medicine,
31、which has standardized drug production processes and treatment methods, TCM lacks standardization, with the chemical composition and functions of its medicines being unclear and their effects being unstable. Fortunately, standardization has improved in recent decades, with an increasing number of fa
32、ctories producing patented TCM drugs.Another factor that has prevented the development of TCM prescription drugs is the lack of creativity. While Western medicine-making companies come up with new products every year, TCM drug producers tend to make medicines according to prescriptions handed down f
33、rom the past. Chinese chemist Tu Youyous winning the 2015 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine for her research into malaria (疟疾) treatment may drive creativity to some extent in Chinas TCM industry. However, the current state of affairs cannot be changed within a short time.12Why does the author m
34、ention the example of Michael Phelps?ABecause he was injured in his swimming.BBecause cupping is a kind of important TCM treatment.CBecause westerners know a little about TCM.DBecause westerners attach great importance to TCM.13Why dont some member countries of WHO recognize Chinese herbal medicine?
35、ABecause Chinese herbs can get rid of diseases.BBecause they only approve the practice of acupuncture.CBecause Western medicine is more effective.DBecause medicine made out of Chinese herbs develops slowly.14Compared with Western medicine, what is the weak point of TCM in Paragraph 4?AThe methods of
36、 planting herbs. BThe effectiveness of prescription.CLacking in standardization. DIts stable functions.15The lack of creativity in TCM refers to the fact that _.Amedicine-making companies lack creativityBprescriptions are got from the pastCWestern companies are more experiencedDmedicine-making compa
