A Chinese Master Zhang Daqian, born in 1899 in Sichuan Province, was one of China’s most brilliant and popular artists. Not only was he extremely productive — it is said that he created an average of 500 paintings a year — but he was also able to master a variety of painting styles, ranging from detailed portraits (人像) to expressive landscapes. Born into an artistic family, Zhang Daqian was first taught how to paint by his mother and siblings. He also travelled in a widespread way, improving his craft: from learning colouring techniques in Japan to studying Buddhist mural (墙壁的) paintings in Dunhuang. However, traditional Chinese painting remained one of the great passions of his life, and he always considered himself part of that tradition. A Spanish Pioneer Pablo Picasso was one of the most influential European artists of the first half of the 20th century. He pioneered Cubism (立体主义) and also influenced Symbolism and Surrealism. He was a painter and a sculptor who moved between many diverse styles. Picasso was born in 1881, into a creative family in the Spanish city of Malaga. His father was a painter and he encouraged and taught young Pablo. Picasso's mother famously claimed that his first word was “pencil”. When he was young, his family would visit Madrid to see works by the old Spanish masters. East Meets West In 1956, Zhang Daqian visited Picasso at his home in Nice, France. It is said that the two artists admired each other. At that meeting, they gave each other some artworks. Picasso gave Zhang 600 works in total, all of which were his imitations of Chinese paintings. He asked Zhang to teach him how to draw bamboo. Following this meeting, the two artists became friends and exchanged letters after Zhang’s return to China. The two artists had more in common than mutual admiration. Both were incredibly diverse in their styles, much admired, influential and very productive. In 2011, Zhang Daqian pushed his friend Picasso off the top of the list of best-selling artists in the world. 【1】Why was Zhangdaqian considered as a master? A.He gained much knowledge of detailed portraits. B.He created over 500 paintings in his life. C.He had a good command of landscapes. D.He mastered a variety of painting styles. 【2】Why did Zhang Daqian travel to different places? A.To enjoy the beautiful landscape. B.To develop his painting skills. C.To learn colouring techniques. D.To study Buddhist mural paintings. 【3】What style of painting did Pablo Picasso first develop? A.Symbolism. B.Cubism. C.Surrealism. D.Impressionism. 【4】Which of the following best describes the two artists? A.Modest. B.Considerate. C.Productive. D.Flexible. 【5】What does the underlined subtitle “East Meets West” mean? A.Art has no border. B.Art reflects reality. C.Art creates atmosphere. D.Art conveys emotion. |

People across Western Europe are experiencing a heat wave this week, with the worst still to come on Thursday. Officials sounded high-temperature health warnings on Wednesday, mindful that some heat waves before had caused thousands of deaths across an area where people are not used to such weather and few homes have air conditioning. Rene Pierron, 51, a street cleaner at Paris City Hall, was not lucky, and said it was difficult to work outdoors under such conditions. “The buildings and roads here take the heat in during the day and act like radiators (散热器) — it's unbearable,” he said while taking a break near the Avenue des Champs-Elysees. Kate Simmonds, also 51, who works in a restaurant in central London, could commiserate (同情).“It's so hot—we can’t work like this,” she said on Wednesday. But she said business was good this week, with plenty of people buying cold drinks and ice cream. Nation after nation have given health-related warning for people becoming tired and weak in the heat. Belgium gave its highest warning since its weather warning system was put in place 20 years ago, and Germany placed the whole country under a heat warning. Britain's weather service, the Met Office, placed five of England’s nine areas, including London, on a “Level Three” heat health watch, one level short of a national emergency. Liz Bentley, the chief executive of Britain’s Royal Meteorological Society, warned: “While a country like Britain is not used to heat waves, they could become more common because of the changing climate. If you live in a Mediterranean(地中海) country, the population adapts to these temperatures. But we’ll see the number of deaths go up in the next coming days.” 【1】What did Rene Pierron think of the weather? A.It created some business chances. B.It made his work more difficult. C.It might cause people to die. D.It would end sooner or later. 【2】How did Germany deal with the heat wave? A.It provided air conditioning for poor people. B.It suggested people stay away from work. C.It has carried out many helpful actions. D.It warned the whole country of the heat. 【3】On which level is a heat national emergency in Britain? A.Two. B.Three. C.Four. D.Five. 【4】Which of the following did Liz Bentley agree with? A.Such weather will appear less frequently. B.The danger of the weather have been gradually realized. C.People from Mediterranean countries adjust to the weather. D.Fewer people from Britain have been influenced by the weather. 【5】Which of the following can be the best title for the text? A.Heat Wave Spreads across Western Europe B.Heat Wave Makes Things Bad for Human Beings C.Europe Tries to Find Ways to Deal with Heat Wave D.Heat Wave Reminds People to Protect the Environment |

Fertile Sichuan has long been one of China's major tea- producing regions. Chengdu had been noted for its teahouses by the Tang dynasty—as early as the ninth century. For centuries, teahouses were places for entertainment as well as tea, with performances of storytelling, music, and Sichuan opera in particular. That is a fading art these days, but Yuelai Teahouse beside Jinjiang Theater still hosts opera every Saturday afternoon. You will find most of Chengdu's old-school teahouses in parks and temple compounds (大院). Heming Teahouse in Renmin Park buzzes with morning retirees, lunchtime office workers, and afternoon visitors. All of them sit under red lanterns by a lotus pond. When the loud confused noise gets too much, move on to Shaocheng Teahouse in the same park. Regulars are older and quieter. They bring songbirds on outings, hanging their cages in the branches of willow trees, and play mahjong in a pavilion covered with moss. In more recent years, however, increasingly elaborate(精致的) teahouses have opened to appeal to the younger generation. They tend to have a taste for superior teas in a more contemporary style. The most famous one of them is Mi Xun Teahouse in Taikoo Li, which is right in the city's most fashionable retail(零售) district. As in all teahouses, the tea comes in individual packets with a thermos of water. Maofeng green tea from Mount Emei, south of Chengdu, is the traditional favorite. Shake the loose leaves into your palm-sized cup. The cup usually comes with a saucer and a lid that both functions to strain surface-floating leaves and to keep the tea warm. Don’t let the water level in your cup get too low, since any bitterness from the tea leaves is concentrated at the bottom. You can top up your tea all afternoon and needn't buy anything else. 【1】What aspects of Chengdu's teahouses does the first paragraph mainly focus on? A.Art & history. B.Art & popularity. C.Function & popularity. D.History & function. 【2】Which of the following is closest in meaning to the word “regulars” underlined in Paragraph 2? A.Tourists. B.Owners. C.Customers. D.Waiters. 【3】Which of the following teahouses would be your best choice if you wished to be left in peace for a while? A.Yuelai Teahouse. B.Mi Xun Teahouse. C.Heming Teahouse. D.Shaocheng Teahouse. 【4】What does the last paragraph mainly talk about? A.Some useful tips for readers who want to visit Chengdu's teahouses. B.Some interesting facts the author found in books on Chengdu's teahouses. C.Some painful lessons the author learned from his trip to Chengdu's teahouses. D.Some basic rules readers have to follow if they want to visit Chengdu's teahouses. 【5】What is the purpose of the text? A.To experience Chengdu's everyday life. B.To introduce Chengdu's teahouse culture. C.To stress the advantages of a slower pace. D.To inspire readers to travel to Sichuang. |

Microplastics on Mount Qomolangma For adventurers the world over, Mount Qomolangma is an unforgettable sight. But take a closer look at this impressive view, and you'll start to notice the signs of the impact that humans are having on the world both near and far. Today, the surface of the ice at base camp in Nepal sits more than 46 meters lower than it had 35 years ago. 【1】Zones of high-altitude ice once thought safe from warming are starting to decrease, and the snow itself isn't quite so fresh and clean. 【2】 This is all according to some new papers published in a special edition of the journal One Earth. 【3】Between April and June of last year, an interdisciplinary (跨领域的) team of more than thirty scientists went to different parts across Nepal’s Khumbu Valley. The researchers set up five weather stations and collected hundreds of samples of rock, water, snow, ice, and more. Later analysis showed that the sample was filled with thin, curly fibers of microplastic.【4】Everywhere on the planet, researchers have found microplastics, from the deepest of the oceans to the vast open landscapes. Some of these particles (微粒) have been carried great distances along wind and ocean currents. But on Qomolangma, researchers found, mountaineers are most likely to blame. Too small to see with the naked eye, microplastics are extremely difficult to clean up. 【5】Perhaps most concerning, the scientists found, was that even the world’s highest glaciers are losing ice at a shocking rate. At risk are not only the local communities and mountain tourism industries that they rely on, but also the millions of people living downstream who are dependent on the glaciers for freshwater. A.In truth, perhaps it shouldn't have been that surprising. B.It is the result of glacial melt from our steadily warming climate. C.Even the highest point of Mount Qomolangma is polluted with microplastics. D.The presence of them doesn't cause an immediate environmental threat, though. E.It's out of the question that winds are carrying additional microplastics to the mountain. F.The plastics were in greater concentration wherever humans would most commonly camp. G.The studies were conducted to examine how human actions were affecting Qomolangma and its surroundings. |

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。 Devi looked through the observation window at the kids below, all waiting in line to get into the pool. She turned to her mother with an angry look on her face. “Mom, they're all little kids! This is ridiculous!” “I know, Devi,” replied her mother, “but you're a beginner, too, and you have to start somewhere!” Devi had never been to a swimming lesson in her life. Between schoolwork and helping on her grandfather's farm, she hadn't had time for lessons. The closest Devi had been to a swimming pool was the inflatable (充气的) pool her mother bought her when she was five. Now that Devi was older, her mother had found a new job in the city, and Devi faced a new challenge—school field trips to the local pool. The first day that Devi went with her class to the pool, she had no idea what she was in for. What could be so difficult about swimming? Devi confidently slipped into the water and held onto the side of the pool, expecting to be able to touch the bottom with her feet. But when Devi let go of the side of the pool, she slipped under the water—the whole pool was one big deep end! Devi moved her arm with a lot of force toward the side of the pool and grabbed the cement ledge(壁架), taking quick deep breaths with open mouth. “I really can't swim! Everyone's going to laugh at me!” she thought to herself in a panic. On the next field trip to the pool, Devi sat on the side on a bench, paralyzed with fear. She huddled(蜷缩) with a towel over her shoulders, too embarrassed to try again. When she came home, her mother noticed right away that Devi was upset. “Honey, I made a call to the local pool, and you start lessons this weekend, so you'll learn how to swim just like everyone else,” she told Devi confidently. Devi felt doubtful that lessons would help, but she had to overcome her fear. 注意： 1.续写词数应为150左右； 2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 When the time came to take her first lesson, Devi watched the younger kids all jump into the| pool. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ At the very moment, a swimming instructor came over to where she sat. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ |
