Tate Modern,London,UK

Together with three other Tate museums, Tate Modern located in London is a

national museum of international modern art. It is one of the largest museums of

modern and contemporary art in the world. Most of the exhibit items are open to the

public for free,only charging for major temporary(临时的) exhibitions.

The Louvre,Paris,France

It is the world's largest and most visited art museum and a historical landmark

of Paris. Housed in the Louvre Palace,the museum has been added to many times since

its opening in 1793. Its glass pyramid in the main courtyard was designed by Chinese

American architect Ieoh Ming Pei,and it later became a signature design of the museum,

appearing in the hit thriller

The

Da

Vinci

Code starring Tom Hanks and Audrey Tautou.

National Museum of China, Beijing, China

Near Tiananmen Square in Beijing, it's one of the largest museums in the world

and the second-most visited art museum in the world, just after the Louvre. Covering

a time span from the Yuanmou Man of 1.7 million years ago to the Qing Dynasty, the

museum houses around 1.05 million items—many cannot be found in museums elsewhere.

State Hermitage Museum, St. Petersburg, Russia

The State Hermitage Museum is the second-largest art museum in the world. The

public can visit five of the main buildings:Winter Palace, Small Hermitage, Old

Hermitage, New Hermitage and Hermitage Theatre.

Frequently seen in pop culture, it often appears as a setting for films, TV

I turned 8 years old the day I skipped school for the first time. It was easily

done: Both my parents left for work before my school bus arrived on weekdays, so

when it showed up at my house on that cold winter morning, I simply did not get on.

The perfect crime!

And what did I do with myself on that glorious stolen day, with no adult in

charge and no limits on my activities? Did I get high?

Nope. I built a warm fire in the wood stove, prepared a bowl of popcorn, grabbed

a blanket, and read. I was thrilled at a book—it was Hemingway's

would happen to Jake Barnes and Lady Brett Ashley and Robert Cohn. I couldn't bear

the thought of sitting in a classroom taking another exam when I could be traveling

through Spain in the 1920s with a bunch of expatriates (侨民).

I spent that day lost in words. Time fell away, as the room around me turned

to mist, and my role—as a daughter, sister, teenager, and student—in the world

2

no longer had any meaning. I had accidentally come across the key to perfect happiness:

I had become completely absorbed in something I loved.

Looking back on it now, I can see that some subtle things were happening to

my mind and to my life while I was in that state of absorption. Hemingway's language

was quietly braiding itself into my imagination. I was downloading information about

how to create simple and elegant sentences, a good and solid plot. In other words,

I was learning how to write. Without realizing it, I was hot on the trail of my own

fate. Writing now absorbs me the way reading once did and happiness is their generous

effect.

Artist Zsudayka Nzinga Terrell clearly remembers the day in high school when

the teacher asked her to write about her family history. She saw that it was

impossible to answer the questions “Who am I?” and “Where did I come from?”

Nzinga Terrell told VOA about her childhood memories. “So the white kids were

able to get up and talk about hundreds of years of their background. And there was

me and one other black kid in the class who could go back to a plantation in Virginia

and that's it.” She talked about her family's history. “My people were brought

here at the bottom of a ship. And they were sold and they were re-named. My dad's

side of the family took the last name from the job that they had, which is Butler.

My mom's side of the family took the last name from the plantation that owned them.”

Today, she and her husband, artist James Terrell, explore that identity in

their work. Their new exhibit of paintings is called “Born at the Bottom of the

Ship.” The show recently opened at the Center for the Arts in Manassas, Virginia.

Over the generations, Africans became African Americans with a new culture, and

Nzinga Terrell includes different parts of that story in her art. There are things

that look like African cloth and design and things that make you think of American

culture and clothing.

James Terrell's style is more abstract.

Mami

Wata, the first painting visitors

see in the new exhibit, shows a woman rising from the ocean. Terrell explains the

painting, “Mami

Wata is a goddess of There's no light going through;

there's not a lot of color being seen, as opposed to the other ones. So, it's just

showing the time of the slaves being brought to America.”

But the artist says he also likes to play with color. Growing up, Terrell attended

a church with colored glass in many windows. Because of that experience, he learned

how light goes through the windows. He makes lines in his painting that look like

the lines between pieces of colored glass in the church windows.

Terrell's works show how he sees himself as an African American. Visitors to

the art exhibit say they see themselves and their family members in the works.

Nzinga Terrell's memory of her family history can date back to .

Jason Barnes is a young musician who lives in Georgia. Eight years ago, Jason

lost his right arm just below his elbow in an accident. Jason got a prosthetic (假体的) arm. But this arm could only do a few things. Jason still wanted to play music.

So he went to see Gil Weinberg, who makes musical robots. To play the piano, Jason

needed five fingers that could move just the way he wanted. This was a big challenge.

Living arms move when muscles respond to commands from the brain. When you

think “open fingers”, your brain sends electrical signals along nerves. Some

prosthetic arms use sensors (传感器) to try to read these nerve signals. But they

don't work very well. Nerves are tiny, and their signals are faint. Sensors might

be able to tell that you want to move a finger. But they aren't very good at telling

which finger you want to move.

Jason doesn't have his hand anymore, but he still has the arm muscles that

move his fingers. When Jason thinks about moving his fingers, those muscles still

5

move. To read the muscles inside Jason's arm, the team used ultrasound (超声波).

The roboticists taught a computer to read the ultrasound sensor as Jason thought

about moving his fingers. The computer learned which muscles moved when Jason wanted

his fingers to move in a certain way. Thinking about moving his fingers makes the

muscles in his upper arm move. The computer sees the moving muscles and tells the

motors in Jason's robotic fingers to move the right way.

The team hopes the “Skywalker hand”, their prosthesis, will someday work

as well as a real hand. The sensors, motors, and computers inside the hand are not

complex. But they need to get smaller and cheaper before lots of these hands can

be made. Weinberg and his team are working on this right now. Soon, they hope that

anyone who loses a hand will be able to get a new robotic one with five fingers that

they can move just by thinking.

Make it a rule to find ways to move your body. 16 Climb stairs instead of

hour in the gym or a 45-minute dance class. But that's great when you're up to it.

At the same time, move more.

Quit Smoking

Ever since 1960 when it was announced that smoking was harmful to health,

Americans have been reducing their use of tobacco products. Just recently, we've

seen more and more teens smoking. Could it be the influence of Hollywood? 17 Take

care! Warn your children against smoking.

While recent studies show a glass of wine or one drink a day can help protect

against heart disease, more can cause other health problems such as liver(肝) disease

and kidney(肾) disease.

moved to France, van Gogh saw new kinds of art, with new, brighter colors. He liked

what he saw so much that he started to paint with brighter colors right away. Later,

he moved to the south of France, 40 the sunlight was very strong and bright.

The 41 (beautiful) and color of the place he lived inspired him to paint it, and

第二节 (满分25分)

阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。

John was crazy about playing basketball. Every day after school, he would spend

much time practicing basketball skills. Sometimes, he didn't go back home until

sunset, which made his mother extremely angry. One day, as he was given a chance

to watch a basketball game, he dreamed about being a member of the college basketball

team the next year. On the way home, he was delighted secretly. He thought no one

in the world was luckier than him. Suddenly, a car hit him. What a terrible experience!

It seemed like a bad dream.

John woke up in a hospital room. He was frightened to death. He realized that

he couldn't move both of his legs. At that time, the doctor came in. When the doctor

told him that both his legs were broken and he had to sit in the wheelchair for the

time being, he knew his college basketball dream was over. He was really depressed.

John followed what the doctors had told him, but it did not work entirely. When he

left the hospital, John was sent to a health recovery center. He never heard of this

center before, but it was not far away from his house. Although he felt unwilling

to go there, he had no choice but to accept the fact.

A week later, he arrived there unhappily. The first person he met was Sunny

Chen, who was so kind and friendly that he warmly welcomed John to go there. Sunny's

legs were badly hurt in a skating accident. He told John that he would help him recover

soon. Though Sunny couldn't move his legs, he became the coach of a basketball team

called the Suns. After a period of recovery training, John felt his legs were all

right. So Sunny invited him to join the game. Sunny guided the team on his wheelchair.

John played badly, but for the first time since the accident, he stopped feeling

sorry for himself.

the first time.”以及第三段中“ I was thrilled at a book—it was Hemingway's

长难句分析

原句 There are things that look like African cloth and design and things that make

◎语篇解读 本文是一篇说明文。Gil Weinberg团队为音乐家Jason Barnes制作的假臂可以让他重新开始演奏音乐。

12.D 推理判断题。根据第一段的内容可知,Jason在失去右臂后仍然想演奏音乐,而之前的假臂达不到他的要求,所以他去找Weinberg换个假臂。故选D项。

13.B 词义猜测题。根据画线词前的“Some prosthetic arms use sensors (传感器) to try

to read these nerve signals. But they don't work very well. Nerves are tiny”可知,假臂通过传感器来试图读取神经信号,但是由于神经极小、信号微弱,所以它们运行得不太好。A项“具体的”、 C项“稳定的” 以及D项“可预测的”均与文意不符。B项意为“微弱的”。 故选B项。

14.A 细节理解题。根据第三段中的“To read the muscles inside Jason's arm, the

lls the motors in Jason's

robotic fingers to move the right way.”并结合上一段文意可知,Weinberg团队通过超声波来读取Jason胳膊中肌肉的活动,当他的肌肉活动时,电脑可以了解到Jason想让他的手指如何活动,这样即可控制假臂的手指。由此可以判断,“运动的肌肉比神经更容易识别”这一点使机械手的发明成为可能。B项“神经搜索技术发展迅速”、C项“超声波传感器因手指而异”以及D项“马达操作起来要快得多”与文意不符。故选A项。

15.B 推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“But they need to get smaller and cheaper before

lots of these hands can hey can move just by thinking.”可知,Weinberg希望假臂可以做得更小、更便宜,能让更多的人受益。故选B项。

长难句分析

原句 Soon, they hope that anyone who loses a hand will be able to get a new robotic

one with five fingers that they can move just by thinking.

分析 该句是一个主从复合句。第一个that引导的是一个宾语从句,作hope的宾语。定语从句who loses a hand修饰先行词anyone。定语从句that they can move just by thinking修饰先行词fingers。

句意 不久之后,他们希望任何失去一只手的人都能得到一个新的机器人手臂,它有五个手指,可以通过思考移动。

第二节

◎语篇解读 本文是一篇说明文,给人们提供了几个保持健康的建议。

16.F 根据上文“Make it a rule to find ways to move your body.”可知,本段主要讲多活动身体,故选F项(你可以做很多事情来活动你的四肢。)。

17.E 根据本段小标题可知,本段主要讲不要吸烟,而设空处前两句提到越来越多的青少年抽烟可能是受好莱坞的影响,故选E项(似乎每部电影里的明星都吸烟。)。

18.A 根据下文“a glass of wine or one drink can cause other health

problems”可知,本段讲的是不要酗酒,A项“避免酗酒”符合段意,故选A项。

19.G 由本段小标题可知,本段讲的是减压。设空处后面介绍了一些减压的方法,G项(专家提供的一些技巧是做些积极的事。)符合语境。故选G项。

20.D 根据本段小标题可知,本段讲的是保护自己不受污染的影响,由设空处下一句可知D项(当没有什么雾时,在外面锻炼。)符合语境。故选D项。

第二节

◎语篇解读 本文是一篇记叙文。文章简要地讲述了画家梵高的一生。

36. traveled/travelled 考查动词的时态。句意:当他年轻的时候,梵高游历了法国、英国和比利时,但在他生命将近结束的时候,他搬到了法国。根据空格前的“When he was a young

man”可知,此处应用一般过去时。故填 traveled/travelled。

/till 考查介词。句意:虽然梵高从小就开始画画,但他直到快三十岁时才正式作画。为固定搭配,意为“直到……才……”,故填until/till。

done 考查动词的时态、语态和主谓一致。句意:他的许多最好的画作都是在他生命的最后两年完成的,即在他37岁去世之前。分析句子结构可知,“many of his best

paintings”作主语,与动词do之间构成被动关系,且文章通篇为一般过去时,应用一般过去时的被动语态;且主语为复数,谓语动词也应用复数形式。故填were done。

考查词性转换。根据空格前的“his”可知,此处应用名词形式。故填death。

考查定语从句。句意:后来,他搬到了法国南部,那里的阳光非常强烈和明亮。分析句子结构可知,空格处引导非限制性定语从句,先行词为“the south of France”,在从句中作地点状语,应用where引导该从句。故填where。

考查词性转换。句意:他居住的地方的美丽和色彩激励他把它画出来,他的艺术作品变得更加丰富多彩……。分析句子结构可知, 41 and color作主语,此处意为“他居住的地方的美丽和色彩”,应用名词形式。故填beauty。

18

ng 考查非谓语动词。句意:如果梵高活得更久一些,他可能会卖出很多件艺术品,成为一个非常有名的画家,但不幸的是他在1890年去世了。分析句子结构可知,become与其逻辑主语“van Gogh”之间构成主动关系,应用现在分词形式作状语。故填becoming。

考查连词。空格前后两个分句之间是转折关系。故填but。

考查代词。句意:文森特·威廉·梵高独特的风格使人们很容易认出他的画作。分析句子结构可知,此处应用it作形式宾语,真正的宾语为“to recognize his paintings”。故填it。

考查非谓语动词。句意:因为他的画作,一种叫作表现主义的新艺术形式被创造出来,他的作品现今仍影响着艺术家们。此处“a new form of art”与call之间构成被动关系,应用过去分词作后置定语。故填called。

true.

Basketball was like medicine for him. John was much better and more confident than

before. John practiced hard to improve himself. He was always the first to come to

the court, and the last to go back home. Although it was not easy for him to play

and he did badly at first, he never thought about giving up hope. He was a boy with

a strong mind.

Paragraph 2:

his courage and love for basketball. There were many ups and downs in life. No one

knew what would happen. However, as long as there was love and hope in our heart,

nothing could stop us from achieving what we desired. As a matter of fact, what we

should do was hold fast to the dreams and fight to the end.
