Caterpillar，is common on children's bookshelves all over the world．What most people don't know is that Eric also makesart for adults，which is called"ArtArt"．People didn't know about it，because he didn't show it to the public until he was 84years old!Like Eric's children's books，his"ArtArt"is full of bright and clear color．He says that he loves color so much because he missed it during the war in Germany．Eric was born in New York in 1929，but moved to Germany with his family when he was 6．When he was 10，World War II began．He noticed that all the houses and buildings in his town were painted gray，brown or dark green．It was a sad time，and it seemed like there was no color anywhere．At the end of the war，"when color came back"，Eric explains，"I just loved it so much．I keep saying that I wish our eyes could see more color．Color is a very important part of my work．"That's true．Eric paints bright colors on paper，cuts out shapes，and then glues them onto another piece of paper．This method is called collage．In fact，it is what led Eric to his"ArtArt"．Eric's"ArtArt"includes large collages as well as paintings，photographs and even costumes．In all these works，he uses all kinds of colors﹣everything from purple to light green to orange．Now that's a lot of color!64．When did Eric show"ArtArt"to the public？A．In 1929．B．In 1993．C．In 1997．D．In 2013．65．Why did Eric feel sad during World War II？A．Because he could hardly see bright color．B．Because he had to join the army to fight．C．Because he couldn't draw very good paintings．D．Because he lived a very poor life with his parents．66．Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage？A．Collage plays an important part in Eric's book"ArtArt"．B．Children know little about The Very Hungry Caterpillar．C．Eric has created more books for adults than for children．D．Eric moved to Germany with his family when he was 10．67．What's the main idea of this passage？A．Eric created collages for his books．B．Eric's"ArtArt"is popular with people．C．Eric's love for color led him to success．D．Eric is the king in the world of children's books．68．（8分）It seems like technology is everywhere．Computers and smart phones are at the center of almost everything we do．They constantly（持续地）require our attention．We text our friends with them during the day，sleep with them by our beds and check our messages as soon as we wake up．In the future，technology will no longer be interrupting us all the time．Instead，we will use calm technology which was first developed by scientist Mark Weiser in the 1970s．In his opinion，calm technology works quietly but constantly．We know it is there，but we don't pay much attention to it According to Mark，the beat technology should be invisible（隐形的）and let you live your life．We already use many different types of calm technology in our everyday lives．Do you have a smoke alarm in your house？That smoke alarm is always there，checking the air for smoke and quietly keeping you safe．It only reminds you it's there when you've burnt your bread!Or there may be lights in your home or school．When somebody passes in front of their sensors（传感器），the lights turn on．You don't think about this type of technology until you see the light go on．In the future，we can imagine our houses will use calm technology to open the curtains for us in the morning，to tum down the heat when we leave，or even to choose the best music for our mood The minute we walk through the door，our house will respond by turning on the lights and music，and perhaps even starting to prepare our dinner!68．Which of the following is an example of calm technology？A．A computer．B．A smart phone．C．A smoke alarm．D．A radio．69．What does the underlined word"interrupting"mean？A．Hurting．B．Protecting．C．Helping．D．Troubling．70．What's the main idea of the third paragraph？A．Calm technology keeps us safe in many ways．B．Calm technology can help you to do housework．C．Calm technology has been used in our daily lives．D．Calm technology plays an important part in schools．71．What can we infer from the passage？A．The light won't go on unless we touch the sensor．B．Calm technology will make our life more convenient．C．People will depend more on smart phones in the future．D．People won't have to work because of calm technology．72．（8分）Being a teenager can be challenging，but it can also be exciting．You*re becoming more independent and making decisions for yourself．You are also learning to take risks and solve problems better．And changes are happening throughout your body，even in your brain．The changes in your brain are influencing how you develop into an adult．Imagine the structure（结构）of your brain is like a big road map．Lots of roads lead to different destinations（目的地）．When you were a child as you learnt new things，your brain created more and more roads to different destinations．By the time you become a teenager，many different roads lead to the most important places on the map．Now your brain's job is to make that map more efficient．As a result，your experiences as a teenager actually influence the way that your brain develops．If you spend hours playing video games，what skills do you use？You learn to see something with your eyes and respond to it with your hands．As you develop those skills，your brain is making sure that the roads leading to them are especiallyfast and efficient．So，your video﹣game playing could be preparing you for a career such as a pilot．This is a great time for you to practice new skills and discover what you're good at and try what you love doing．Go out and try different activities，and stick to them if you think they're useful．Remember that with everything you do，you're shaping your brain for the future．72．What happens as children learn new things？A．Their brains make the maps more efficient．B．The structures of their brains are like big road maps．C．Their brains create more roads to different destinations．D．Many different roads lead to the most important places．73．What does the underlined word"it"in Paragraph 3refer to？A．Your brain．B．Something you see．C．Your skill．D．Something you learn．74．What's the writer's advice for teenagers？A．Teenagers should learn to be more independent．B．Teenagers should work harder and more efficiently．C．Teenagers should play more video games in order to be a pilot．D．Teenagers should experience more and stick to the useful activities．75．Which would be the beat title for the passage？A．Making Decisions for Yourself．B．Developing Your Brain for the Future．C．Ways of Changing Your Brain．D．Changes Happening in Your Brain．四、B）请先阅读下面短文，掌捤其大意，然后根据短文内容从下面方框内的七个选项中选择五个还原到文中．使短文意思通順、结构完整，并在答题卡上将其序号涂黑．（每小题10分）76．（10分）A problem is only a problem until there is a solution（解决办法）．We find solutions by thinking creatively．（76）In other words，we think outside thebox．Sometimes，thinking outside the box solves not just one，but two problems．Amsterdam is one of the most crowded cities in Europe．As a result，housing is very expensive，especially for students．（77）However，finding this type of apartments was almost impossible until recently．While the colleges in Amsterdam were trying to solve the housing problem，thousands of shipping contains（集装箱）were lying quietly in ports（港口）around the world．These huge steel containers carry products from one country to another．The life of each container is about 10years．（78）Yet they can't recycle all of them because there are so many．Back in Amsterdam，a company came up with an amazing idea．Why not reuse these shipping containers as student apartment？（79）They are all the same size and fit together perfectly．The steel is strong．Moreover，these containers are so widely available that they are quite cheap to buy．For all these reasons，they can be used to build apartments quickly and cheaply．Building began in 2005，and after only a few weeks，hundreds of Amsterdam students had new homes．When students first heard about this idea，they thought the container apartments would be small，noisy，and cold．（80）Each container apartment has a kitchen，a bedroom with a study area，and a bathroom．The apartments are warm and quiet．They even have a high﹣speed Internet connection．Living in a shipping container has become popular．Today，3，000Amsterdam students live in the container village．A．Students need low cost apartments．B．The containers are great for building apartments．C．In fact，these apartments are not in good condition．D．However，they were surprised when they saw them．E．Steel companies recycle some of the old containers．F．Recycling the steel containers has many advantages．G．We use our imagination and come up with creative ideas．五、补全对话（5分）请阅读下面对话，根据对话内容从方框中选择恰当的句子填人空白中，使对话通顺、合理，意思完整，并在答题卡上将其序号涂黑．（空一句，每小题5分）81．（5分）A：Hi，how are you？B：Not very well，I think I have the flu．A：Oh no!You poor thing．（81）B：It might be，I
