I’m Bob Dylan... I'm sorry I can't be with you in person, but please know that I am most definitely with you in spirit and honored to be receiving such a prestigious (值得尊重的) prize. Being awarded the Nobel Prize for Literature is something I never could have imagined or seen coming. From an early age, I’ve been familiar with and reading and absorbing the works of those who were deemed worthy of such a distinction: Kipling, Show, Thomas Mann, Pearl Buck, Albert Camus, Hemingway. These giants（天才）of literature whose works are taught in the schoolroom，houses in libraries around the world and spoken of in the reverent tones（恭敬的语调）have always made a deep impression. That I now join the names on such a list is truly beyond words.
I don't know if these men and women ever thought of the Nobel honor for themselves, but I suppose that anyone writing a book, or a poem, or a play anywhere in the world might harbor（隐藏）that secret dream deep down inside. It's probably buried so deep that they don't even know it’s there.
If someone had ever told me that I had the slightest chance of winning the Nobel Prize, I would have to think that I’d have about the same odds（机会）as standing on the moon. In fact, during the year I was born and for a few years after, there wasn't anyone in the world who was considered good enough to win this Nobel Prize. So, I recognize that I am in very rare company, to say the least...

28. What should be supplied frequently and properly to make vegetables grow better?
there is something missing from your life. Guess what? The love. It is not something which you should ignore. Life without Love is just like body without soul.
Love gives meaning to life as without love life is meaningless. Lucky is the person who gets love and keeps the flames of love burning forever. It is not a matter of days or months. Love is for life and life is for love.
Short term love encounters（遭遇）are not helpful at all. Be sincere with your body and soul. Indulge（使满足）in serious life-long loving relationship and live a healthy, happy and joyful life.
It is easy to fall in love but difficult to keep the flames of love burning. Before indulging in serious long term love relationships, be sure that the person you love is also sincere with you. A selfish person can make your life miserable（悲惨的）. If this is the case with you then try to get rid of that person as soon as possible.
Most people do not give importance to their love life as they give importance to their professional life. In most cases, people sacrifice their love life at the cost of their profession. This is a bad choice which ruins the whole life. A sensible balance between the two is necessary in order to enjoy life in its entirety. Do not deprive yourself of the love you need.
People part their ways after living together for years and years. Though this looks strange but is the obvious result of ignoring the genuine complaints and grievances（委屈）of the other. Sometimes a sincere apology, gentle touch, or a friendly kiss is enough to put your love life on track. However, when deep differences develop between the two then professional consultation is necessary. Do everything to bring back love to your life, if it is lost.
In order to make the journey of life more exciting and enjoyable, you need a loving and caring person with whom you can share your values, dreams, fantasies, joys and jokes. In difficult times of anxiety, sorrow, distress or loss of near and dear ones, this person should stand firm besides you and console you in every possible manner.
Love your life and love the person who is in your life. Keep the flames of love burning to live a great life.

B. love all that you have in your life D. give importance to your love life
C. take the love you need away from yourself

The invention of the camera and photography is very interesting. The camera is often thought
to be a modern invention, but as early as 1727, a German physicist discovered that light darkened silver salt. Used as camera, a big box was set up, and a small hole was cut in one side to let the light in; he made temporary pictures on the salt. 36 Then a French scientist made the first permanent picture by using a special piece of metal which was covered with silver salt. 37
The painter De Gear improved the process by covering the metal also with the common salt which we can eat. This was in 1839, the official date of beginning of photography. 38 And it wasn’t until other scientists developed the kind of photographic paper we now use that good prints were possible and photography became truly modern. 39 In the 20s of last century, George Mann of the United States simplified film developing（冲洗）, and Dr. Edward Lane invented the so-called “instant camera”. 40 If we say photography came into existence in 1839, it follows that it took more than 100 years for the camera to reach its present condition of technical refinement.
A.The “camera” uses self-developing film. B. A photograph he made in 1826 still exists. C. Light darkens silver was the basis of photography. D. But the problem was the printing of the photographs. E. Silver salt is still the base of the photographic film today.
F. The first permanent picture was made by making use of special paper.
G. In the 1870s, Mathew Brady was able to take his famous pictures in American Civil War. 第三部分英语知识运用（共两节，满分45分）
