The Eiffel Tower is very famous in France. It is visited by 7 million visitors a year. The Eiffel Tower was designed by Gustave Eiffel in the late 19th century. On Monday, March 31st, 2019, it turned 130.
The look of the Eiffel Tower is greatly loved by people today, but things were different when the design was first shown to the public. Many French artists thought that the design was ugly. However, Eiffel did not change a thing. He believed that once it was completed, people in Paris and visitors around the world would love the tower. He was certainly right.
The tower became popular with the public as soon as it opened on March 31st, 1889, two years after the construction began. Over 3,000 people came to look at this new tower and even made the effort to climb the 1,710 stairs to the top. The 984-foot-tall Chrysler Building in New York City beat it.
Today, the tower houses a number of restaurants on its first and second levels. The third level has been turned into a vast platform (平台). From there visitors can see the entire city of Paris. While visitors are allowed to take the stairs to the first two levels, the platform can only be got to by taking the elevators.
To ensure that the “Iron Lady” always looks good, the tower is cleaned and repainted every eight years. It’s an effort that takes a team of 25 workers, an entire year. If you travel to Paris one day, don’t miss it, the excellent achievement.
( )21. When Gustave Eiffel first showed his design to the public, ________.
A. the public celebrated the birth of it
B. many French artists disliked the design
C. the public thought it would be a popular tower
D. many French artists decided to change the design
( )22. When did the construction of the Eiffel Tower start?
A. In 1887.
B. In 1888.
C. In 1889.
D. In 1890.
( )23. What do we learn about the levels of the Eiffel Tower?
A. The first level is provided for hotels.
B. Restaurants are all on the second level.
C. The third level is mainly for sightseeing.
D. The elevators can go to all the three levels.
B
Time, wars and natural disasters have a bad effect on the artistic and cultural objects in the world. More than 1,000 years ago, a fire destroyed the Library of Alexandria in Egypt. In 1755, an earthquake destroyed Ribeira Palace in Lisbon, Portugal, along with artworks inside. In modern times, the Taliban destroyed the huge Bamiyan Buddhas in Afghanistan.
As we all know, museums play an important part in our daily lives. They keep evidence of culture and history and exhibit great works. A major goal of most museums in the world is to make sure that important historical objects do not disappear forever. The Uffizi Gallery in Florence, Italy, holds 1,250 pieces of ancient Greek and Roman sculptures. These objects have inspired artists and historians for many years. So the museum is working to make a complete and permanent (永久的) record of the artworks.
The project is an effort of both the museum and the scientists from Indiana University in the United States. The team is using technology to create digital copies (数字复制品) of the Uffizi’s ancient sculptures.
The process is called photogrammetry. At one time, this process was slow and expensive. But not anymore, said Professor Robert Frischer. He said photogrammetry is now much faster and cheaper. Now they can gather 3-D data (数据) on a life-size sculpture in half an hour and they can process the data just in a couple of hours.
The images allow the viewer to examine the sculpture from all sides. And when the viewer zooms in (用变焦距镜头放大), the image becomes clearer. The Uffizi hopes to have the collection completed and available on the Internet by 2020.
( )24. What can we learn about some artworks?
A. They have been badly damaged.
B. They were destroyed by accident.
C. They were not protected by humans.
D. Most of them are kept in Italy now.
( )25. Why do the Uffizi Gallery and Indiana University work together?
A. To build the largest museum.
B. To create long-lasting artworks.
C. To introduce some ancient sculptures.
D. To inspire more artists and historians.
( )26. What can we learn about photogrammetry?
A. It is still expensive.
B. It is a time-saving step now.
C. It does great harm to the artworks.
D. It was invented by Robert Frischer.
( )27. What can we learn about the images?
A. It’s impossible to make them larger.
B. They will take the place of real sculptures.
C. People can enjoy them online in the future.
D. They can only show the front of the sculpture.
C
Jim Denevan is an amazing artist whose work is admired by all, but owned by none—that’s because all of Jim’s art is created on an unusual canvas (画布) —the soft sand. He sometimes spends days working on a piece, only to see it washed away by the sea or a storm and that is just the way he likes it.
Denevan discovered his artistic talents about ten years ago, when he was wandering aimlessly on the beach with a stick. He ended up drawing a 12-foot-long fish. Since then, Jim has traveled over 1,800 miles while creating over 600 pieces of sand art.
Over the years, his drawings have become bigger, but the tools he uses haven’t changed—All he needs is a stick, a garden rake (耙) and most importantly, his lively imagination!
Just like any good artist, Jim is quite particular about the “quality” of his canvas, sometimes walking for miles, in search of perfect sand. His latest piece of work, which is also the world’s largest freelance drawing (自由绘画), was created in the desert sands of Nevada. It took Jim three trips, eight days and over 100 miles of walking to create this 3-mile work of art. It took the storm just one night to destroy it! However, Jim says he actually enjoys watching the waves or rain wash his paintings away.
Jim’s art has become very popular over the years and was even the topic of a documentary named “Sandman” in 2005. Jim Denevan is not just about art in the sand—he is also an excellent chef (厨师) and founder of an organization called “Outstanding in the Field”, whose motto is to celebrate food at its source. Accordingly, group dining events are held outdoors on farms, with the diners being treated to a delicious meal. The events, which are held in different farms throughout America, are always sold out the minute the schedule is announced.
( )28. It can be learnt from the text that ________.
A. Denevan walks a lot to complete his work
B. it is not hard for Denevan to find suitable sand to draw on
C. it usually takes long for the storm to destroy Denevan’s work
D. Denevan is very particular about his drawing tools
( )29. What does Denevan enjoy about his work according to the text?
A. Walking a long distance.
B. Waiting for the storm to come.
C. Looking for a suitable canvas.
D. Watching his work being destroyed by nature.
( )30. Which of the following can best describe Denevan?
A. Generous.
B. Open-minded.
C. Imaginative.
D. Traditional.
( )31. What can we learn from the last paragraph?
A. Denevan loses his interest in art soon.
B. Denevan is also popular as a chef.
C. Being a happy chef is Denevan’s final goal in life.
D. Denevan’s fame helps him with his chef job.
D
Changes have been taking place in Philadelphia since 1984. One by one, graffiti-covered walls are being changed into outdoor art. So far, more than 1,800 murals (壁画) have been painted. Philadelphia now has more murals than any other American city.
The walls that were once ugly with graffiti (涂鸦) are now covered with beautiful pictures of historical heroes and modern art, thanks to the Mural Arts Program (MAP). Its work makes schools and public places attractive, and its citizens very proud. The program began as part of Philadelphia’s Anti-Graffiti Network. Jane Golden is the MAP’s artistic director. “When people ask me what our program is about,” she says, “I answer them with one word: hope.” Each year, the MAP offers youth art programs and workshops. Some onetime graffiti writers even help paint MAP murals.
The MAP’s work, says Golden, is all about developing a sense of community. When a neighborhood requests a mural, the MAP works with the people there to develop a message. Some messages have been “Safe Streets,” “Love and Care,” and “Peace Walk.”
The MAP receives up to 50 requests for murals each week. Last year, the workers painted 140 murals.
“The making of a mural enters people’s collective memory as an extraordinary, pleasant moment in neighborhood history” says Golden, who began as a muralist in Los Angeles.
( )32. What can be the best title for the text?
A. Love, from Graffiti Writers to Muralists
B. MAP, a New Company in Philadelphia
C. Jane, an Excellent Mural Artist
D. Hope, One Wall at a Time
( )33. What is the Mural Arts Program in Philadelphia aimed at?
A. Helping the young find jobs.
B. Protecting the neighborhood.
C. Fighting against graffiti.
D. Attracting more visitors.
( )34. How does the MAP decide on the message for a mural?
A. By having discussions with people in the community.
B. By seeking advice from the city government.
C. By learning from the young graffiti writers.
D. By studying the history of the city.
( )35. Which of the following words best describes the work of the MAP?
A. Difficult.
B. Dangerous.
C. Experimental.
D. Successful.

As most people know, in the past Chinese women had no right to receive formal education. 36 One piece of evidence is Nüshu—literally “female script”—a written language only used by women.
A Nüshu museum opened in Puwei Island, Jiangyong county, Hunan province in May 2007. This beautiful island was home to many famous Nüshu authors. This year, according to Xinhua, many tourists visited the museum to appreciate the unique culture of Nüshu.
Known as “the world’s only surviving characters simply for women”, this slim script was developed from standard written Chinese. Centuries ago, Nüshu was taught to girls by elderly women in their homes. During village gatherings, women would use the characters to write poems or lyrics. 37
Worried that this ancient culture will soon disappear, Zhao Liming, a professor at Tsinghua University, started a project in 2017, hoping to keep Nüshu alive. 38 Designed by Talkmate, a Beijing-based online language education platform, its purpose is to teach Nüshu to more people.
39 For example, people often misjudge the characters as “the symbols of some secret cult (邪教)”. The truth is that many old poems written in Nüshu were created by women who wanted to express the difficulties they faced, and how they made it through those hardships. Zhao hopes the app will help people look past these old rumors.
“The words were full of encouragement and positive energy, and showed an uncommon open-mindedness among women at the time,” Zhao said.
Ji Xianlin, the late linguist (语言学家), once wrote that Nüshu is a feminist (女权主义者) symbol, since “it was
created by talented women deprived (剥夺) of the right to education.” 40
A. Many rumors were spread about Nüshu.
B. The project has made a great achievement.
C. But this doesn’t mean they made no efforts to learn.
D. One of the project’s biggest achievements is an app.
E. In this case men couldn’t understand their meanings.
F. This might be why the ancient script still has value in modern times.
G. This way they expressed the feelings they usually kept hidden from men.

The Fitting-in of Suzy Khan
The first time I saw Suzy Khan, I knew I had to help her. She was really small for her age of 12. The boys in my class often 41 about her and laughed their heads off. She would open a book, pretending to read, with tears dropping on the open page.
All I knew was that she was an orphan (孤儿) from Africa. She had just been adopted by a family in town who
42 that the best way for her to learn American ways of life was to be with American kids. I looked down at this
43 girl and promised myself that somehow I would help her.
But how could I help her 44 in with us? There had to be a way.
One day, when I went into the classroom, I saw that Suzy had opened her geography book to a picture of a train, and in her notebook, she had made a(n) 45 copy.
I was surprised and thought that she could do something in the coming 46 show. So, I took her to see the art teacher, Miss Parker, and showed her what Suzy had drawn. “Why, it’s wonderful,” said Miss Parker, who then showed us a poster she had painted for the talent show. “I need more of these, but I just don’t have enough 47 . Could you help me, Suzy?”
On the day of the talent show, Suzy’s 48 were everywhere—all over the hall and all over the school, each one different.
“And finally,” said Mr. Brown, the schoolmaster, at the end of the show, “we have a (n) 49 award. I’m sure you’ve all noticed the wonderful posters.” Everyone nodded. “One of our own students 50 them.”
I could hear everyone whispering. “Who in our school could draw 51 well?”
Mr. Brown waited a while before saying, “ 52 this student worked so hard on the posters, she deserves a 53 , too. Our mystery (神秘) artist is our new student—Suzy Khan!”
Mr. Brown thanked her for all the wonderful posters and gave her a professional artist’s set. “Thank you,” she cried.
I 54 , at that time when I was looking at her excited face, she’d probably never owned anything in her
whole life.
Everyone started to 55 their hands. Suzy Khan gave them a shy smile and the applause was deafening. I knew then Suzy was going to be all right.

The Students’ Union 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。

续写的词数应为150左右。

It was late spring when my mom and I were driving through the countryside. Back then I was 13 years old and always felt unhappy with Mom. However, little did I know that this trip was going to be a special one.
A pot of flowers sat in he back seat, whose pleasant smell filled the car. Suddenly, in the middle of nowhere, my mom pulled over. “What are you doing?” I cried, fearing that the car had broken down and we’d be stuck there, so far from home. Fortunately, that wasn’t the case. My mom hopped out of the car, grabbing the flowers from the back seat. “It’ll just be a minute,” she called back through the open windows.
Impatiently, I cast my eyes towards the edge of the road before they settled on a little sign showing that it was a nursing home. I looked back to the building, somewhat annoyed, as my mom reappeared empty-handed.
Before she started the car, curiosity drove me to ask, “Do you know someone there?” She shook her head. “Then what did you do with the flowers?” She smiled slightly, “I gave them to the receptionist (前台接待员).” “What?” She laughed at my confusion. “I told the receptionist to give the flowers to whoever needed them, especially those who haven’t received any in a while.”
I kept silent for a moment. Not long after we went on with our driving, I spoke again, “Did you leave your name?” To this she answered instantly, “No. Leaving flowers there for someone who will appreciate them makes me feel good, which is enough of a thank for me.”
Suddenly, still thinking about Mom’s deeds, I heard something burst loudly. It was our car that broke down! Nothing could be worse, because neither my mom nor I understood how to repair it, and we didn’t know where the garage was. It also seemed impossible to wait for any passerby, since we had seen so few along the way. Paragraph 1:
I let out a sigh while my mom rooted herself against the car worrying about what could be done.___________

答案解析
听力材料
1.W: Good afternoon. Can I help you, sir?
M: Well, I made a reservation last week for this American couple by the name of Benjamin. Here they are.
W: A minute, please. Benjamin… Oh, yes, here it is. One double-room for a whole week. Here is the registration card.
2.M: What are you doing?
W: Look at me. I look so old! I look as if I were an old woman.
M: Come on! Stop being so vain. You look great! You are beautiful!
3. M: Good evening, this is your pilot once again. There will be violent movements of air in about five minutes, so I would ask you to please return to your seats and fasten your seatbelts.
W: John, be quick to come back and sit down.
4. M: I need a taxi, please.
W: We have various transportation services. Would you prefer a private vehicle?
M: No, thanks. A taxi is just fine. And I’d like to be picked up as soon as possible.
W: I see. A taxi will be here shortly, sir.
5. W: Hello, you must be new in town. I didn’t see you in the neighbourhood.
M: Yes, I did just move in.
W: How do you like it here?
M: There are many opportunities for people. I know my life will be better here.
6. M: Hi, Susan, how is your new roommate?
W: She really turns me off.
M: What happened?
W: She’s always making loud noises at midnight and when I remind her, she always makes rude remarks.
M: Why don’t you have a heart-to-heart chat with her?
W: I tried, but it didn’t work.
M: But how many times did you try?
W: At least three times. I guess I’m going to complain to the manager. I hope she can be fired.
7. W: Steve, you look pale. What happened?
M: I didn’t sleep a wink last night.
W: Did you have something on your mind? You look so concerned! Maybe I can help you!
M: Well, I’m under a lot of pressure. My boss is very pushy. He assigned me three projects. Now the deadlines are near, and I still haven’t finished all of my projects.
W: Is there anything I can do to help you?
M: Well, I guess no one can help me but myself! For the moment, I just need someone to talk to so that I can relieve my stress.
8. M: What are you going to do after you return from Washington?
W: I’m going to stay in the city.
M: What will you do all day?
W: I’m going to work with my father at the store. In the evening, I’ll read books. On weekends, I’ll go to the beach with my family.
M: Have you ever worked?
W: No, but I can learn. What are you going to do this summer?
M: I’m going to the camp. I’ve gone to the camp for four summers.
W: I’ve never gone to camp. What do you do there?
M: We do many things. In the morning, we go swimming and boating. In the afternoon, we play basketball or tennis. We sit around a campfire at night. We sing or tell stories.
W: That sounds wonderful.
M: It is wonderful. What’s John going to do this summer?
W: I think he’s going to the mountains with his parents.
M: Well, so long, Mary. Have fun.
9. M: Hi, Susan. Wow! Where did you get all of this stuff?
W: I bought it. And the widescreen computer… and my new DVD player. Here, let me show you my television. You can really rock the house with this one.
M: But where did you get the money to buy all this? You didn’t borrow money from Mom and Dad again, did you? W: Of course not. I got it with my student credit card.
M: A student credit card? How in the world did you get one of these?
W: I got an application in the mail. Times are changing, and having a credit card helps you build a credit rating, control spending, and even buy things that you can’t pay with cash…
M: I don’t want to hear it. It sounds you’ve spent yourself in a hole. Anyway, student credit cards just lead to impulse spending… as I can see here. And the interest rates of student credit cards are usually sky-high, and if you miss a payment, the rates, well, just jump! Let’s sit down and talk about how you’re going to pay things back, and maybe we can come up with a budget that will help you get out of this mess. That’s the least I can do.
10. Healthy relationships allow you to express your individuality, bring out the best in both of you, and encourage growth. Especially if you are in a new relationship, it’s best to set a foundation for a positive and healthy relationship from the start. There are two pieces of advice on it.
The first one, speak up. Don’t expect your partner to be able to read your mind or “figure it out.” If you have a need or want to express something, you need to communicate it yourself. It’s not fair to you or your partner when
you don’t communicate your needs. Likewise, don’t hold in the things that bother you. If you don’t know how to start a conversation, say, “There’s something on my mind and I’d like it if you listened.” You can also say, “Something is bothering me and I feel like we should talk about it.”
The second one, listen intently. Part of a healthy relationship is knowing when to talk and when to listen. Develop your listening skills by not interrupting and letting your partner finish their thoughts and feelings. Truly listen, and don’t try to come up with a response while your partner is talking. Use active listening skills by reflecting the content and emotions of what your partner is saying.
