13. When a piece of art work is sold, information about who bought it and who sold it and also where it was sold, is usually recorded. If a work of art has no such information with it, then there is a good chance that it’s a forged（伪造）one.
Although there are many ways to detect forged art, it can still be a very difficult task for experts. Forgers know a lot about the artists and the materials that he or she used. They are very careful about painting exactly in the artist’s style. Y et experts continue to develop new technology to help fight forgery. For instance, scientists are now using the digital code from computer images, which can show the artist’s digital “fingerprint”. The digital fingerprint can give scientists specific information about the pressure, angle or thickness of the original artist’s strokes（笔画）of the brush. Some people today believe that there are almost as many forged works of art as original ones. However, with technology continuing to improve, it will surely become far more difficult for a forger to fool art experts.
Art can tell us about our own and other cultures and provide us with a valuable record of human history. While many great artists have borrowed ideas and been influenced by those before them, they have often taken these ideas and changed them into something that is fresh and new and originally theirs. Forgers are not expressing their own original ideas at all.
An original work of art has something a forged piece will never have. It has the touch, the feelings, the interpretation（诠释）of its creator and this is what gives it its mark of originality. It could be like comparing fresh flowers with artificial ones. Artificial flowers might have the same color, design, shape and look of real flowers in every way. Yet, examine them closer. Do they have the same feel?
1. What is important to recognize an original work of art?
A．Its creator.B．Its document.
C．Its value.D．Its background.
2. Which aspect of the original artist’s work can be shown by the digital fingerprint?
A．Its precise style.B．Its natural material.
C．Its long history.D．Its original size.
3. What is the author’s attitude toward fighting forgery?
A．Cautious.B．Positive.C．Doubtful.D．Hopeless.
4. What can we learn about a forged work of art in the last paragraph?
A．Its topic covers different kinds of flowers.
B．It is as good as the original one.
C．It needs to be wiped out totally.
D．Its maker may be skilled.
14. Researchers from Purdue University have developed a new white paint that can reflect over 95 percent of sunlight, which can cool the surface even lower than the surrounding temperature. Painted on a building, the new paint could help cut cooling costs and energy use.
Many different reflective cooling paints have been developed over the years, but they all have their disadvantages. For the new study, the Purdue researchers developed a new method—using calcium carbonate（碳酸钙）fillers, which are much richer, cheaper, and absorb less ultraviolet（紫外线的）light. And the new reflective cooling paint can give off more sunlight—reflecting 95.5 percent of the light that strikes it. That's better than many of the other paints in development, which manage between 80 and 90 percent, although it falls short of the record holder—the Teflon coating, which reflects 98 percent of light.
The team tested the new coating outdoors over two days, and showed that under direct sun- light it remained 1. 7℃ below the surrounding temperature. In another set of tests, the researchers painted some parts of a pattern with the new paint, and others with a regular white paint of the same thickness. Using a special camera, they could see the pattern clearly, thanks to the difference in temperature between the two materials.
The team says that the new paint could not only help cool buildings, but prevent outdoor electrical systems from overheating. But to ensure that it is commercially practicable, the researchers next plan to investigate how well it lasts out in the environment.
"The cost of our paint may be comparable to other commercial paints or even lower than them," says Xiulin Ruan, an author of the study. "The key is to ensure the reliability of the paint so that it is workable in long-term outdoor applications."
1. What's the advantage of the new paint?
A．Absorbing enough sunlight.B．Developing new energy
C．Lowering cooling costs.D．Improving electrical system
2. How did the researchers study the effect of the new paint?
A．By analyzing special pictures.B．By conducting field tests.
C．By collecting temperature data D．By assessing its nature.
3. What can we infer from the result of the research?
A．The paint still needs testing B．The paint can be used for long.
C．The paint is incomparable.D．The paint has reliable performance
4. What is the text mainly about?
A．A new white paint helps cool building B．Researchers lower the costs of paints
C．A regular paint solves heat consumption.D．Environment-friendly paints come into market.

文章主要介绍了马来西亚一个羽毛球场，说明了其建立目的以及特色和收费等情况。

15. With bright lights on the floor and walls, loud electronic music, and a red shuttlecock flying around, this Malaysian badminton court seems
like the set of a science fiction movie. “Shuttle In The Dark” is a place to play badminton in the famous Petronas Twin Towers in Kuala Lumpur. It was set up in late 2021 by a company that wanted people to take up the sport after two years of restrictions related to the COVID-19 pandemic.
Badminton is one of the most popular sports in Malaysia and Asia. The Southeast Asian country has produced some of the world’s top-ranked players. Irina Inozemtseva is Director of Inic Sport Management. She said the goal was to “gain back the interest of people to come back and play.”
She added that the group wanted to draw in not only expert players but also “new people who were not able to or never played badminton before.”
The futuristic court presents a new difficulty for players. They have to adjust their eyes to the darkness to play, said Lee Y an Sheng, a professional badminton coach.
Professional player Ho Y en Mei used the term focus — meaning to carefully direct attention — to describe the requirements of playing on the court. “With the lighting, somehow we are still able to hit it and then it requires better focus. And it’s exciting, it’s different but it's still like playing normal badminton,” she said. Open to players of all levels, Shuttle in the Dark charges $42.63 per hour to use the courts and rent their equipment. A regular public court charges about $4.50.
1. What is the purpose of setting the badminton court?
A．To make science fiction movie.B．To test out some new technologies.
C．To regain people’s interest in the sport.D．To fight against the COVID-19 pandemic.
2. What can we learn from the passage?
A．There are some world-famous badminton players in Malaysia.
B．It is easy for the new players to play badminton in the new court.
C．A professional badminton coach will teach players in the court.
D．Only high-level players can be admitted into the new court.
3. What do we know about the expense?
A．You can play for a half day only to pay $42.63.
B．Shuttle in the Dark charges nearly ten times as much as a regular one.
C．The charge in Shuttle in the Dark includes equipment and a meal.
D．Professional players don’t need to pay for using the court.
4. Which section of a website can be the passage taken from?
A．Technology.B．Health.C．Entertainment.D．Sports.
六、阅读理解
16. Sometimes, you are not good at some of your subjects. 1 Y ou probably think you will never be a top student. This is not necessary so,
however. Anyone can become a better student if you want to. Here’s how:
Plan your time carefully. When you plan your work, you should make a list of things that you have to do. After making this list, you should make
a schedule of your time. First your time for eating, sleeping, dressing, etc., then decide a good, regular time for studying. 2 A weekly schedule
may not solve all your problems, but it will force you to realize what is happening to your time.
Find a good place to study. Look around the house for a good study area. Keep this space, which may be a desk or simply a corner of your room, free of everything but study materials. No games, radios, or television! When you sit down to study, concentrate on the subject.
Make good use of your time in class. 3 Listening carefully in class means less work later. Taking notes will help you remember what the teachers say.
Study regularly. When you get home from school, go over your notes, review the important points that your teacher is going to discuss the next day, read that material. 4 If you do these things regularly, the material will become more meaningful, and you will remember it longer.
Develop a good attitude about tests. The purpose of a test is to show what you have learned about a subject. It helps you remember your new
knowledge. The world won’t end if you don’t pass a test, so don’t be over worried.
5 You will probably discover them after you have tried these.
A．Maybe you are an average student.
B．This will help you understand the next class.
C．Don’t forget to set aside enough time for entertainment.
D．No one can become a top student unless he or she works hard.
E．There are other methods that might help you with your studying.
F．Take advantage of class time to listen to everything the teachers say.
G．Make full use of class time to take notes of what the teachers say in class.

八、书面表达
18. 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。

There was a story that all the kids told at my school. I don’t know if they believed it but some of them certainly acted as if they did. On the way from my home to school there was a little old cottage. Y ou could only just see the cottage, as if it were trying to hide itself behind the lemonade trees and bushy garden. At times, but not very often, the children had seen a little old woman make her way along the cracked leaf-covered path from the front door to the mailbox. Her fingers were twisted in funny shapes, her body was bent over and her back hunched (弓背). If she lifted her head to look at you, her face was all wrinkly. “The witch (女巫) at Number 97” was how most kids spoke of her. “Don’t look in her eyes,” you could hear them say. “She’ll capture you in a magic spell, take you into the house and never release you again.”
In the mornings and at the end of the day, my friends and I would pass Number 97 in a group. We felt safer and more secure in numbers. But now, I played the recorder so well that I was asked to join the school band, and that meant staying after school one afternoon a week to rehearse (排练). So I had to walk home all by myself.
I set out as I normally would but as I began to approach the little old cottage it looked scarier than ever. For a while I hesitated, not knowing what
to do. I wanted to run but felt I really needed to just walk my way through the experience. I took some deep breaths and tried to think of something different: Home, supper and my bed. While thinking of those things, the dreadful look of the old cottage seemed to fade. When I started thinking about the witch again, the cottage loomed big and frightening in my thoughts. “No,” I said to myself, “Concentrate on how good it will feel to get home,”
and with that I started to feel easier.
注意：1.续写词数应为150左右；

But as I reached the front gate to Number 97, my heart almost stopped.
