三、阅读理解
A
On the first day of school, we were challenged to get to know a new classmate. I was looking around, when a gentle hand touched my shoulder. I found a little old lady with a warm smile.
She said, “Hi, handsome! I am Rose. I’m 87 years old. Can I give you a bug?” I laughed and heartily responded, “Of course!”
“Why re you in college at such a young , innocent(天真的) age?” I asked.
She jokingly replied, “I’m here to meet a rich husband, get married, have children, and then travel around.”
“No, seriously,” I asked. I was curious why she took on this challenge at this age.
“I always dreamed of having a college education and now I ‘m getting one!” she told me. We became instant friends.
Over the year, Rose became a campus icon(偶像) and she easily made friends wherever she went. She loved to dress up and she enjoyed the attention from the other students. She was living it up.
At the end of the term we invited Rose to speak at our football banquet. I’ll never forget what she taught us.
“We do not stop playing because we are old;we grow old because we stop playing. Here are the secrets to staying young.You have to laugh and find humor every day. You’ve got to have dream. When you lose your dreams, you die. We have many people walking around who are dead, and they don’t even know it!”she said.
“There is a huge difference between growing older and growing up. Anybody can grow older. That doesn’t take any talent or ability,”she added.“But growing up requires finding the opportunity in change. The elderly usually don’t have regrets for what they did, but rather for things they did not do.”
One week after graduation that year, Rose died peacefully in her sleep. She taught us by example that it’s never too late to be all you can possibly be.

B
Looking back on my childhood, I am convinced that naturalists are born and not made. Although we were all brought up in the same way, my brothers and sisters soon threw away their pressed flowers and insects Unlike them, I had no ear for music and languages. I was not an early reader and I was not good at maths.
Before World War I we spent our summer holidays in Hungary. I have only the dim memory of the house we lived in, of my room and my toys. Nor do I remember clearly the large family of grandparents, aunts, uncles and cousins who gathered next door. But I do have a clear memory of the dogs, the farm animals, the local birsds, and above all, the insects.
I am a naturalist, not a scientist. I have a strong love of the natural world and my interest had led me into varied observations. I love discussing my favorite topics and enjoy burning the midnight on reading about other people’s observations and discoveries. Then something happens that brings these observations together in my mind. This has resulted in my pubishing 300 papers and books, some of which might honor with the title of scientific research.
But curiosity, interest, a good memory and enjoyment of the animal and plant world do not make a scientist: one of the outstanding and basic qualities required is self-discipline（自律），a quality I lack. A scientist, up to a certain point, can be made. A naturalist is born. If you can combine the two, you get the best of both worlds.
45. The first paragraph tells us the author .
A．was interested in flowers and insects
B．lost his hearing when he was a child

A．he didn’t live very long with them
B．the family was extremely large
C．he was too young when he lived with them
D．he was fully occupied with observing nature
47. From the passage we can infer that in fact the author was .
A．a scientist as well as a naturalist
B．a naturalist but not a scientist
C．no more than a born naturalist
D．a scientist instead of a naturalist
48. The author says that he is a naturalist rather than a scientist probably because he thinks he .
A．has a great deal of trouble doing maths
B．lacks some of the qualities required of a scientist
C．just reads about other people’s observations and discoveries
D．finds out the results in a special way
