21．（6分）Have you ever been to France before? It is not only a country of great food, fashion and art. It’s also home to the most influential painters in the world.
Edouard Manet
He was one of the first artists to paint modern life. He began to paint in his own style, but still used some of Couture’s techniques like thick lines and dark colors. He was greatly influenced by Claude Monet and Berthe Morisot, which can be seen in his use of light shades. Most of his paintings had scenes of daily life on the streets of Paris. His works include Olympia and The Absinthe Drinker.
Camille Pissarro
In his early years, Pissarro painted scenes of a river or a path from memory. After meeting Claude Monet and Paul Cezanne, who painted in a more realistic style, he changed his course to Impressionism. During his career, he experimented with various styles, and finally formed his own one. His works include Old Market at Rouen and Sunset at St. Charles.
Vincent van Gogh
He had a huge influence on art in the 20th century. His early works were most painted in somber tones. However, influenced by Monet, Pissarro, and Bernard, he adopted brighter colors in his works, and started creating his own techniques. Although he had produced more than 2,000 works of art, the artist sold only one painting during his lifetime —Red Vineyard at Arles. His works include The Potato Eaters, Starry Night and Bedroom in Arles.
Claude Monet
He was the founder of the Impressionist movement and completely changed the French painting in the 19th century. Although he first started by selling charcoal caricatures（木炭讽刺画）in Paris, he soon started painting with oil after meeting Eugene Boudin, who taught him to use oil paints and also encouraged him to paint outdoors. And then he painted with his own style. His works include Impression, Sunrise and The Water Liles.
1、What can we learn about Edouard Manet’s paintings?
A．They reflected the changes of life.
B．They were mainly about daily life.
C．They were all painted in bright colors.
2、Which painting was sold by Vincent van Gogh in person?
A．The Potato Eaters.
B．Bedroom in Arles.
C．Red Vineyard at Arles.
D．Starry Night.
3、What’s the common point of the four painters from the text?
A．All of them were given many awards in their life.
B．All of them were taught by some famous painters.
C．All of them had a good taste in delicious food.

22．（8分） A team of engineers at Harvard University in trying to create the first robotic fly. Designed to do what a fly does naturally, the tiny is the size of a fat housefly. Its mini wings allow it to stay in the air and perform controlled flight tasks.
"The added difficulty with a project like this is that actually none of its components is off the shelf and so we have to develop them all on our own’ said Robert Wood, a Harvard engineering professor.
They engineered a series of systems to start and drive the robotic fly. “The seemingly simple system which just moves the wings has a number of interdependencies (相互依赖）on the individual components, each of which individually has to perform well, but then has to be matched well to everything it d connected to,” said Wood.
While this first robotic flyer is linked to a small, off-board power source, the goal is eventually to equip it with a built-in power source, so that it might someday perform data-gathering work at rescue sites，in farmers’ fields or on the battlefield. "Basically it should be able to take off, land and fly around，” he said.
Wood says the design offers a new way to study flight mechanics and control at insect-scale. Yet, the power, sensing and computation technologies on board could have much broader applications.“You can start thinking about using them to answer open scientific questions, you know, to study biology in ways that would be difficult with the animal，but using these robots instead” he said. "So there are a lot of technologies and open interesting scientific questions that are really what drives us on a day-to-day basis.”
1、What is the typical characteristic of the robotic fly?
A．It's automatic. B．It's very small.
C．It's controllable. D．It's quite powerful.
2、We can infer from the passage that the robotic flyer can____ .
C．fly at a very high speed D．answer many scientific questions
3、What is Wood's idea about the robotic fly according to the last paragraph?
A．It is highly questionable.
B．It has wide practical applications.
C．It gives scientists interest in flying machines.
D．It points to a new direction in studying biology.
4、What can be the best title for the passage?
A．Harvand's Study in the Field of Insects.
B．A Breakthrough in Engineering Science
C．An Interesting Invention 一Robotic Fly
D．Robotic Fly 一a Copy of Real Life Insect
23．（8分） A new study has discovered that meditation（冥想）and oxygen sport together reduce depression. The Rutgers University study found that this mind and body combination, done twice a week for only two months, reduced the symptoms for a group of students by 40 percent.
“We are excited by the findings because we saw such a meaningful improvement in both clinically depressed and non-depressed students,” said lead author Dr. Brandon Alderman. “It is the first time that both of these two behavioral ways have been looked at together for dealing with depression.”
Researchers believe the two activities have an interactive effect on combating depression. Alderman and Dr. Tracey Shors discovered that a combination of mental and physical training (MAP) enabled students with major depressive disorder not to let problems or negative thoughts defeat them.
Rutgers researchers say those who participated in the study began with 30 minutes of focused attention meditation followed by 30 minutes of oxygen sport. They were told that if their thoughts drifted to the past or the future they should refocus on their breathing, enabling those with depression to accept moment-to-moment changes in attention.
Shors, who studies the production of new brain cells in the hippocampus—part of the brain involved in memory and learning—says scientists have shown in animal models that oxygen sport exercise keeps a large number of certain cells alive.
The idea for the human intervention（干预）came from her laboratory studies, she says, with the main goal of helping individuals acquire new skills so that they can learn to recover from stressful life events.
By learning to focus their attention and exercise, people who are fighting depression can acquire new learning skills that can help them process information and reduce the overwhelming recollection of memories from the past, Shors says.
health.” said Alderman. “The good news is that this intervention can be practiced by anyone at any time and at no cost.”
1、What made the research so different?
A．Adopting a way of meaningful talk.
B．Combining the two behavioral ways to treat depression.
C．Treating depression with special medicine.
D．Comparing the depressed with the non-depressed.
2、The underlined word “combating” in Paragraph 3 can be replaced by ______.
A．fighting B．identifying
C．distinguishing D．examining
3、What did the participants do in the research?
A．They did oxygen sport half an hour before thinking.
B．They thought quietly and then took exercise.
C．They took exercise longer than they thought.
D．They took exercise while thinking quietly.
4、What is Shors’ main purpose of her studies?
A．To find out certain brain cells of humans.
B．To study the production of new brain cells.
C．To offer people a new method to treat stress.
D．To decide the links between stress and exercise.
24．（8分）Most children are full of the most impractical schemes for becoming policemen, firemen or train drivers when they grow up. When I was a child, however, I did not have such ordinary ambitions. I was going to have my own zoo.
At the time, this did not seem to me, and still does not seem, an unreasonable idea. My friends and relatives, who had long found me strange because I showed little interest in anything that did not have fur or feathers, accepted this as just another example of my strangeness. They felt that, if they ignored my often-repeated remarks about owning my own zoo, I would eventually grow out if it.
As the years passed, however, my determination to have my own zoo grew increasingly strong, and eventually, after going on a number of trips to bring back animals for other zoos, I was ready to start my own.
From my latest trip to West Africa, I had brought back a considerable collection and animals which were living, tempor arily I assured her, in my sister’s suburban garden in Bournemouth. After a number of unsuccessful attempts to
Jersey in the English Cannel.
I was introduced to a man named Hugh Fraser who, I was told, was a broad-minded, kindly soul. He would show me around the island and point out suitable sites. So, my wife and I flew to Jersey and were met by Hugh who drove us to his family home, probably one of the most beautiful old houses on the island. There was a huge walled garden with lots of outbuildings all built in the beautiful local stone. Turning to my wife, I said, “What a marvelous place for a zoo!”
To my relief, Hugh Fraser did not think my idea absurd, and asked whether I really meant what I said. Slightly embarrassed, I replied that I had meant it, but added hastily that I realized it was impossible. Hugh said he did not think it was as impossible as all that.
He went on to explain that the house and grounds were too big for him, and so he wanted to move to a smaller place in England. Would I care to consider renting the property for the purpose of establishing my zoo? I could not imagine more attractive surroundings for my purposes, and by the time lunch was over, the bargain had been sealed.
The alarm displayed by all who knew me when this news was announced was intense. The only exception to the general chorus of disapproval was my sister. Although she thought it a mad scheme, at least it would rid her back garden of the assorted jungle creatures who were straining her relationship with her neighbours.
1、How did the author’s friends and relatives respond to his childhood dream?
A．They approved of his idea.
B．They paid no attention to him.
C．They believed he’d give it up later on.
D．They thought he was overly ambitious.
2、What made the author decide to start his zoo on the island of Jersey?
A．Refusal by the local council to support his idea.
B．Inspiration from his last trip to West Africa.
C．Failure to get donation from other zoos.
D．The need for a larger suburban garden.
3、Why did Hugh eventually agree to rent his property to the author?
A．Hugh also loved animals very much.
B．Hugh found it hard to manage the property by himself.
C．Hugh didn’t like the place so decided to move to England.
D．Hugh was moved by the author’s eagerness to establish a zoo.
4、What can be inferred about the author’s sister?
B．She was sure of his success.
C．She didn’t get on well with her parents.
D．She was being troubled by his animals.
25．（10分）LUKLA, Nepal(Xinhua) – Qomolangma, known as Mount Everest in the West, once negatively recognized as the “world’s highest junkyard”, is set to become cleaner as 30,000 porters（搬运工）have been mobilized （动员）for waste collection and disposal from the mountain’s southern side. The cleanup drive was launched recently near Lukla airport, one of the world’s most dangerous airports yet a vital gateway to the world’s highest peak.
“Our major task is to keep Everest, which is the pride of the world, clean. This campaig n aims to transport 100 tons of nonburnable garbage from the Everest region to Kathmandu in 2018,”Ang Dorje Sherpa, chairman of the Sagarmatha Pollution Control Committee said.
The SPCC, an environmental conversation organization, has made it mandatory（强制性）since 2013 that every climber should carry down 8 kilograms of trash, but for trekkers（旅行者）there is no such regulation. Due to this, more than 100 tons of waste gets collected in the region annually.
According to Nepalese government statistics, nearly 50,000 domestic and foreign trekkers visit the Qomolangma region annually, while more than 400 mountaineers attempt to scale the peak. The collected waste mostly includes empty beer bottles and cans, oxygen bottles, torn tents and sleeping bags, food bins, and discarded mountaineering and trekking equipment. The trash was collected by local groups in more than a dozen villages while the waste was transported down the mountain in sacks（麻布袋）by porters and yak-hybrid animals as zopkyos. The cleanup covered settlements from up to 5,000 meters near the base camp, to Lukla airport located at an altitude of 2,805 meters.
On the first day of the campaign, several tons of waste was sent off to Kathmando from Lulka on planes belonging to Tara Airlines, one of the leading private airlines in Nepal. The airlines have set an ambitious target of flying out 100 tons of waste from the region in 2018, as a part of its commitment to the UN Sustainable Development Goals against climate change. The company’s CEO Umesh Chandra Rai said: “We hope that this campaign will help the local people to maintain a pristine（原始的）, natural and unspoiled environment so that more trekkers will come from everywhere, making the trekking industry here more sustainable.”
1、What’s the first paragraph ma inly about?
A．The basic situation of Mount Everest.
B．The introduction of the clean-up campaign.
C．The unique way to prevent environment pollution.
D．The description of the most dangerous airport in the word.
A．The rule for visitors made by the local travel agencies.
B．The clean-up campaign launched by Ang Dorje Sherpa.
C．The demand for the climbers made by the SPCC since 2013.
D．The law for the local people made by the Nepalese government.
3、How does the author indicate that the clean-up campaign is very tough?
A．By listing figures. B．By making comparisons.
C．By giving some examples. D．By analyzing some causes.
4、What’s Umesh Chandra Rai’s attitude towards the clean-up campaign?
A．Doubtful. B．Curious.
C．Enthusiastic. D．Unfavorable.
