11、plant species; it holds the research and teaching collection of living plants for Cambridge University.The multi-branched Torch Aloe here is impressive. The African plant produces red flowers above blue-green leaves, and is not one to miss.Get to the display house to see Dionaea muscipula, a plant m

12、ore commonly known as the Venus Flytrap that feeds on insects and other small animals.The Garden is also a place for wildlife-enthusiasts. Look for grass snakes in the lake. A snake called Hissing Sid is regularly seen lying in the heat of the warm sun.Byrons PoolMany stories surround Lord Byrons ti

13、me as a student of Cambridge University. Arriving in 1805, he wrote a letter complaining that it was a place of “mess and drunkenness”. However, it seems as though Byron did manage to pass the time pleasantly enough. Im not just talking about the pet bear he kept in his rooms. He spent a great deal

14、of time walking in the village.It is also said that on occasion Byron swam naked by moonlight in the lake, which is now known as Byrons Pool. A couple of miles past Grantchester in the south Cambridgeshire countryside, the pool is surrounded by the fields. The cries of invisible birds make the trip

15、a lovely experience and on the way home you can drop into the village for afternoon tea. If you dont trust me, then perhaps youll take it from Virginia Woolf ,a famous writer,over a century after Byron, she reportedly took a trip to swim in the same pool.21. The main idea of the passage is _.A.some

16、places for weekend breakB. an approach to becoming creative in artC. the colorful life in the countrysideD. interesting stories of Lord. Byron 22.

19、he cards change from one to the other,her gaze（凝视）starts to lose its focusuntil a third,with three black spots,is presented.Her gaze returns;she looks at it for twice as long as she did at the previous card.Can she tell that the number two is different from three,just 24 hours after coming into the

20、world?Or do newborns simply prefer more to fewer?The same experiment,but with three spots shown before two,shows the same return of interest when the number of spots changes.Perhaps it is just the newness?When slightly older babies were shown cards with pictures of objects（a comb,a key,an orange and

21、 so on）,changing the number of objects had an effect separate from changing the objects themselves.Could it be the pattern that two things make,as opposed to three?No again.Babies paid more attention to squares moving randomly on a screen when their number changed from two to three,or three to two.T

22、he effect even crosses between senses.Babies who were repeatedly shown two spots became more excited when they then heard three drumbeats than when they heard just two;likewise（同样地）when the researchers started with drumbeats and moved to spots.24.The experiment described in Paragraph 1 is related to

26、t being able to do anything without being photographed or interrupted for a signature!According to psychologist Christina Villarreal, celebrities- famous people-worry constantly about their public appearance.Eventually,they start to lose track of who they really are,seeing themselves the way their f

27、ans imagine them,not as the people they were before everyone knew their names.“Over time,”Villarreal says,“they feel separated and alone.”The phenomenon of tracking celebrities has been around for ages.In the 4thcentury B.C.,painters followed Alexander the Great into battle,hoping to picture his vic

28、tories for his admirers.When Charles Dickens visited America in the 19thcentury,his sold-out readings attracted thousands of fans,leading him to complain（抱怨）about his lack of privacy.Tabloids of the 1920s and 1930s ran articles about film-stars in much the same way that modern tabloids and websites
