36、ards which lie between it and the airport. Suddenly wecaught a glimpse of painted towers and the great blue domes of mosques and tombsshouldering the full weight of the sky among bright green trees and gardens.Beyond the gardens and the glittering domes still were those watchful mountainsand their e

37、vocative snow. I found myself thinking of the thrill I had on catchingmy first sight of Damascus after crossing the desert from Syria. The light, theorchards and many of the trees were the same but deeper still was the sense ofcoming into contact with one of the most astonishing cultures in history,

38、 theworld of the one and only Allah and his prophet Muhammad. It was a world thatcompletely overawed me.Yet the memory of Samarkand which stays with me most clearly is quite a humbleone. Coming back to the city from the country on my last evening we passed someunusual elm trees and I stopped to have

39、 a look at them. They were, my guide toldme, perhaps a thousand years old, older certainly than Genghis Khan. A flockof fat-tailed sheep (the same kind of sheep that my own ancestors saw a Hottentotkeeping when they landed at the Cape of Good Hope 321 years ago), tended by someTadshik children, move

40、d slowly home in the distance. Then from the city camequite clearly the call to prayer from mosque and minaret. I had not expectedany calls at all and it made no difference that some of the calls came overloud-speakers. Then beyond the trees an old man appeared on a donkey, dismounted,spread a praye

41、r mat on the ground, and kneeling towards Mecca, he began to pray.From Samarkand I journeyed on to Bokhara which was once the holiest cityin Central Asia. At one time it possessed over a hundred religious colleges andclose to four hundred mosques. It drew adventurers of all races towards it asit did

42、 Marco Polo. Not many of them reached their destination. These days atwhat used to be one of the richest market places in the world, one buys ice-creaminstead of slaves; watches and mass-produced trinkets and fizzy drinks insteadof gold, silks and turquoise jewellery. Few of the four hundred mosques

43、 remainand most have vanished without even leaving a trace.56. Samarkand lies _.A. in a desertB. high in the mountainsC. in front of DamascusD. between the mountains and the airport57. The author said that he was overawed by _.A. the beauty of the sceneB. the sight of DamascusC. the age of the place

The market has changed in character because now _.A. it does sell jewelleryB. t

47、he holy men do not sell thereC. it sells goods for tourists and items of little valueD. the traders have disappeared because it is too dangerous to sell therePassage 2The component of the healthy personality that is the first to develop isthe sense of trust. As with other personality components, the

48、 sense of trustis not something that develops independent of other manifestations of growth.It is not that infants learn how to use their bodies for purposeful movement,learn to recognize people and objects around them, and also develop a sense oftrust. Rather, the concept “sense of trust” is a shor

49、tcut expression intendedto convey the characteristic flavor of all the childs satisfying experiencesat this early age.Studies of mentally ill individuals and observations of infants who havebeen grossly deprived of affection suggest that trust is an early-formed andimportant element in the healthy p

50、ersonality. Psychiatrists find again and againthat the most serious illnesses occur in patients who have been sorely neglectedor abused or otherwise deprived of love in infancy.Observations of infants brought up in emotionally unfavorable institutionsor moved to hospitals with inadequate facilities
