First, it,s very cheap to use a bike, and it,s quick too. You often wait for a bus for half an hour. When the bus comes, there are so many other buses and cars on the road that the bus moves very slowly. The underground train is quick but very expensive and often crowded.I traveled to work by bus for about four years. I often arrived at work late and tired. Then one day, about two years ago, a workmate said,“I go to work by bike, why don,t we travel together?”“Because my bike is old,”I answered,“and there are so many buses and cars on the road. I always feel frightened.”“You needn,t worry about this,”said my friend.“If you follow me and we ride slowly, you,ll be fine.”Although we went slowly, we arrived at work quickly. The bus ride took forty minutes and the bike ride took half an hour!The next day I bought myself a new bike. Now I don,t feel afraid. I love cycling to work, and I feel fit and well.Many people think in the same way as I do. That,s why you see a lot of bikes on the road. Who knows, perhaps in the future we,ll have roads for bicycles only. I hope so!1.What can we see on the road if we visit London now?2. The writer went to work three years ago.3.How long did it take the writer to go to work by bike?4.Is riding a bike good for our health?5. The writer hope we’ll have roads one day.。

BWhen you're not at home, many worries may start to crowd your mind. Did I turn the coffee maker off? Did I lock the door? Are the kids doing their homework or watching television? With a smart home, you can quiet all of these worries.A smart home is a home with a communication network. This network connects devices (装置),such as lights and TV sets, and allows them to be controlled from far away through electrical wiring, mobile phone communication or WiFi over the internet.More and more people may start to consider owning a smart home, because it makes life much more convenient. It can help keep your room at a certain temperature. It can record what happens inside the home and send the video to your phone. When you are on vacation abroad, you can use a smart home controller to switch on or off the electricity when necessary. Some smart homes can receive a visitor, allowing him to come in and offering him a drink. They can even feed the cat and water the plants.Besides, smart homes are easy to fix. Most smart home technology and devices are wireless and can be set up with a minimum of tools, using only the guiding information. When a problem appears, you can deal with it yourself without paying a professional.However, for home-users, the smart home technology is far from perfect. It can be rather expensive to own the technology and the devices. Also, because the smart home system(系统)allow its owner to get home information from anywhere, it leaves the home easy to be attacked by hackers(黑客),who may secretly use or change the information in the system.Now, many scientists are excited at the future of smart home technology. Imagine being able to get fashion advice from your mirror, or receive food shopping suggestions from your refrigerator. While there are others who worry that those smart devices will make people lazier and lonelier. Whatever it is, one thing is for sure---smart home technology will change the way we live and work.(1)According to the passage, nowadays a smart home can lock the door through .A. electric lightsB. mirror technologiesC. mobile phonesD. shopping programs (2)The third paragraph of the passage is mainly about .A. the steps to use smart systemsB. the prices of smart programsC. the advantages of a smart homeD. the tools for setting up smart devices(3)Which of the following is TRUE about a smart home according to the passage?A. Smart homes can't help feed pets nowadays.B. Smart homes costs a lot of money at present.C. You can't control your smart home in other countries.D. It's hard for hackers to get information from smart homes.(4)What's the writer's opinion according to the passage?A. People will become less happy in the future.B. People's life style will be different in the future.C. Mobile phones are the most important in smart homes.D. Smart homes are much better than other smart systems.【答案】(1)C(2)C(3)B(4)B【解析】【分析】本文介绍了智能家居的基本功能和新型理念,作者认为智能家居技术将对我们的生活和工作方式带来变革。

AA farmer had a brother in town who was a gardener, and his brother had a garden full of the finest fruit trees. So his skill and his beautiful trees were famous everywhere. One day the farmer went into the town to visit his brother, and was surprised at the trees that grew quite well."Look, my brother," said the gardener. "I will give you an apple tree, the best from my garden, and you, and your children, and your children's children will enjoy it."Then the gardener called his workmen and ordered them to take up the tree and carry it to his brother's farm. They did so, and the next morning the farmer began to wonder where he should plant it."If I plant it on the hill," he said to himself, "the wind might catch it and shake down the delicious fruit before it is ripe. If I plant it close to the road, passersby will see it and take away the apples--but if I plant it too near the door of my house, my children may pick the fruit." So, after he had thought the matter over, he planted the tree behind his barn (谷仓).Time passed, but the tree had no fruit the first year, nor the second-then the farmer called his brother. When the gardener came, the farmer said angrily, "You have cheated me, and given me a useless tree instead of a fruitful one. This is the third year and still it brings out nothing but leaves!

He knew that he couldn't lose his head and began to think of the things he could do.Again he heard the sound of someone trying to climb into his home through the window.Bob's drums were standing in the corner near the TV.

However, when she first walked past the students in the school, her excitement turned to fear, and then to loneliness(孤独) over the next few days. "Why didn't anyone say 'hi' to me or invite me to his or her lunch table? Is it because of my clothes or my hair?" she wondered. Almost every day during the first week, Anna stayed alone, thinking that there must have been something wrong with her or that nobody saw her at all!What caused Anna's problem? The reason was that nobody knew her. Most people don't like talking with strangers. So it's your job to volunteer to make contact with people who you want to know. The easiest way to catch their attention is to notice them first. Make eye contact with them, and smile at them. When you smile at them, you are doing your best to show your kindness to them, and they are sure to understand that you are saying, "Hey, how's everything going?" In thisway, you are taking the first step towards the road to friendship.When Anna realized this, she started talking to her classmates. Guess what happened? It really worked. She had made two friends by the end of the month.In fact, saying "hi" or making friends with strangers is not hard. And the joy it brings you is really great. So try to open your heart to strangers!(1)Which of the following shows the change in Anna's feelings?A. excited→afraid→lonely→happyB. happy→lonely→sad→proudC. afraid→relaxed→nervous→happyD. nervous→angry→happy→sad(2)The underlined word "contact" in Paragraph 2 means .A. agreeB. greetC. praiseD. communicate(3)According to the writer's opinion, which is the easiest way to catch others' attention?A.

It's hard to take the first step towards the road to friendship.3.阅读理解Bike-sharing has swept across China, with an increasing number of people choosing bike riding instead of driving. The bike that the service company provides has GPS or Bluetooth on it, and those bikes can be easily unlocked with a smartphone and left anywhere in public. Bike-sharing allows people to borrow a bike from one place and return it at another place easily.In some cities, we can see more and more people riding this kind of sharing-bikes. It's very convenient to use the bikes if you have a smartphone. First, you have to download such an app on your smartphone. Then what you need to do is find a nearest hike through the app, scan the QR code on the bike or connect your phone with the bike over a Bluetooth wireless connection. You will find the bike can be unlocked itself. Then you can enjoy your trip. What's more, the greatest advantage of hike- sharing is that you can easily find one and never worry about where to park it. The cost of riding depends on the time that you spend. Normally, every hour you ride, you need to pay one yuan. It doesn't cost so much, does it?At the same time, some people park the hikes in their own homes. Besides, some people don't value the bikes. Now service companies are trying to solve the problems like being stolen.Technology and science have changed our social lifestyles. We have to say bike- sharing brings us more convenience without doubt. And we also hope that people can not only enjoy it but also put it to good use.(1)From the first paragraph, we know ______.A. bike-sharing is invented in ChinaB. sharing-bikes are used by some peopleC. most people in cities don t driveD. sharing-bikes can be borrowed anywhere(2)II you want to use a sharing-bike, you must _________ first.A. have a smartphone and download an appB. download an app and pay for the tripC. unlock the bike and download an appD. find a nearest bike and borrow it from anyone(3)Which of the following is NOT mentioned in this passage?A.

Others grow up small and unhealthy. In search of food, hungry deer move closer to where humans live. They eatfarm crops, vegetables and even trees. Besides, increased numbers of deer near roads can cause traffic accidents.People admire the grace and fast speed of deer. Most people don't want these animals to be hungry and ill. Should people take action to control the growing deer populations?Should People Take Direct Action?Many people think that hunting(打猎) is the best way to control the animal populations. Wildlife managers will see if there's enough food in an area and decide its carrying capacity(容量). Then hunters with licenses are sent to help control the number of deer. Hunting is usually not allowed in cities or suburbs, however.Some people have the idea to catch the deer and move them to other places. But this methodis expensive and requires finding another place that can accept the deer without breaking the balance of ecosystem(生态系统).Scientists are also working to develop chemicals(化学药品) to control the birth rate(率)in deer populations. But this plan works for only one year at a time.Should People Take Indirect Action?Some suggest bringing in natural enemies of deer, such as wolves, lions and bears, to areas with too many deer. But these animals could also hurt dogs, cats, and even humans. Other communities have built tall fences(篱笆) around areas to keep out the deer. However, this is impossible for farmers.▲Some people are against any kind of action. They support leaving the deer alone. Animal populations in an area naturally go up and down over time. Doing nothing means that some deer will die of hunger or illness. But finally, the population will reach a size within the carrying capacity(容量) of the environment. So, let nature go its own way.(1)According to the passage, increased numbers of deer can bring to people in the area.A. water pollutionB. traffic accidentsC. serious illnessesD. growing populations(2)Which of the following is the best to fill in the " ▲ " in the passage?A. Should People Do Nothing?B. Should People Protect the Deer?C. Should People Take Special Action?D. Should People Drive the Deer Away?(3)The writer most probably agrees that .A. farmers can build fences to keep the deer outB. people should leave the deer alone in the wildC. hunting is the best way to control the deer populationsD. it's great to catch the deer and move them to other places(4)The writer organizes this passage by .A. telling storiesB. using numbersC. giving opinionsD. describing scenes (场景)7.阅读理解By Anna Matteo28 January, 2019A 3-year-old boy who was lost in the woods for two days is now safe at home with his family.

Some colors can make people feel relaxed, and some colors can make people feel nervous. Now, this kind of knowledge is being used in many places. For example, school walls are always painted green because green makes students feel relaxed. It is also good for the students' eyes. Some books are also green or light blue for the same reason. Restaurant owners not only have to know how to make food, but also have to know how to make money. Here are some things they've learned from scientific studies. The color red makes people hungry. Many fast food restaurants have red furniture or walls. Soft colors like pink and light blue make people feel relaxed, so they spend more time eating. Loud music may be nice at first, but it soon makes people want to leave. Hard seats also make customers want to eat quickly and leave. Many restaurants, especially fast food restaurants, use this knowledge to make customers eat faster.(1)How does the color green make the students feel?A. Hungry.B. Nervous.C. Angry.D. Relaxed.(2)Which color isn't mentioned in this passage?A. Green.B. White.C. Light blue.D.

Communication is a problem for parents and children of all ages. If it's hard for you to communicate with your parents, don't worry about it. Here are some advice for you to bridge the generation gap (代沟).Don't argue (争辩) with your parents. Don't get to your parents when you are angry. Your parents probably won't consider your ideas if you are shouting at them. And you can't express yourself well if you are angry. Go someplace to cool off. Make sure you understand why you are unhappy. Then think about what you want to say to your parents. If you don't think you can speak to them at the moment, try writing a letter.Try to reach a compromise (和解). Perhaps you and your parents disagree on something.You can keep your disagreement and try your best to accept each other. Michael's mother didn't agree with him about buying a motorcycle. They argued over it. But they finally came to a compromise. Michael bought the motorcycle, but only drove it on certain days.Of course, your parents might refuse to compromise on something. In these situations, it is especially important to show love and respect (尊敬) to them. Showing respect will keep your relationship strong.Talk about your values. The values of your parents are probably different from those of your own. Tell your parents what you care about, and why. Understanding your values might help them see your purposes in life.A good relationship with your parents can make you a better and happier person. It is worth having a try!(1)According to the passage who have a communication problem?A. parents and other peopleB. only school kids and their parentsC. teachers and their studentsD. parents and children of all ages(2)How many pieces of advice does the writer give us to bridge the generation gap?A. 5.B. 4.C. 3.D. 2.(3)The underlined word "bridge" in the passage means "___________".A. 建立B. 消除C. 通过D. 到达(4)If the values of your parents are different from those of yours, you'd better ___________.A. argue with themB. keep away from themC. agree with them all the timeD. tell your parents what you care about(5)The best title for the passage is ___________.A. How to bridge the generation gapB. How to deal with family problemsC. How to be good parentsD. How to be a good child12.阅读理解Abdul Sadiq, an Afghanistan's only professional cyclist, began by training his daughter. And when she competed successfully abroad, he set up the team. It is the world's most unlikely sporting team, because the sport breaks taboos in a country where in many traditional communities, women are not allowed out of the house.The head coach faces frequent threats and the girls' families do not always approve "If it's not their fathers trying to stop them, it's a brother or uncle."Two members of the team, Massouma, 18, and Zarab, 17, are sisters.

In one of the mildest and driest winters for many years, training has gone on without stopping. And next spring, the girls will go up into the mountains. "We say that women should not sit at home, they need to come out and do sports," said Abdul Sadiq, And 18- year-old Zainab said she wished that she could just go cycling alone on the street one day.

The bike that the service company provides has GPS or Bluetooth on it, and those bikes can be easily unlocked with a smartphone and left anywhere in public. Bike-sharing allows people to borrow a bike from one place and return it at another place easily.In some cities, we can see more and more people riding this kind of sharing-bikes. It's veryconvenient to use the bikes if you have a smartphone. First, you have to download such an app on your smartphone. Then what you need to do is find a nearest hike through the app, scan the QR code on the bike or connect your phone with the bike over a Bluetooth wireless connection. You will find the bike can be unlocked itself. Then you can enjoy your trip. What's more, the greatest advantage of hike- sharing is that you can easily find one and never worry about where to park it. The cost of riding depends on the time that you spend. Normally, every hour you ride, you need to pay one yuan. It doesn't cost so much, does it?At the same time, some people park the hikes in their own homes. Besides, some people don't value the bikes. Now service companies are trying to solve the problems like being stolen.Technology and science have changed our social lifestyles. We have to say bike- sharing brings us more convenience without doubt. And we also hope that people can not only enjoy it but also put it to good use.(1)From the first paragraph, we know ______.A. bike-sharing is invented in ChinaB. sharing-bikes are used by some peopleC. most people in cities don t driveD. sharing-bikes can be borrowed anywhere(2)II you want to use a sharing-bike, you must _________ first.A. have a smartphone and download an appB. download an app and pay for the tripC. unlock the bike and download an appD. find a nearest bike and borrow it from anyone(3)Which of the following is NOT mentioned in this passage?A.

Bike-sharing is a kind of green transport.(4)The passage probably comes from a ________.A. science textbookB. tourist guideC. website news reportD. restaurant menu 3.阅读理解Why does the sky change colors?What is the sky? How high is it? What color is it? What birds can live above it? These questions are difficult to answer, aren't they?In fact, the sky has no color. Then why does the sky look blue?We know that there is air around the world. When planes fly, they need air to lift their wings. Planes can't fly very high. That is because the air gets thinner when they go higher. The same will happen to us if we go high enough. If we go up about 1, 200 kilometers from the earth, we'll find no air there. Some birds can fly into the sky as high as a plane, but they cannot fly or live without air.Looking up above us, you will see the blue sky with white clouds. It is usually light blue. The color would be bluer when you see on the top of a high mountain. And you will see fewer cloudsin the sky between you and the sun.Sometimes the sky doesn't look blue. When the sun rises and falls, you will see red, orange, and other colors in the sky. Such are the most beautiful moments of the day.Who can see the colors of the sky high above the earth? The astronauts! They can see those beautiful colors of the sky from the outer space. However, before flying into outer space, they sit in a spaceship high above the earth, and there is no air at all. The sky would be that dark and its color would be black.Now you may understand that we see colors because the air scatters(使散射) the sunlight. light travels through the air. Without air, there would be no light or colors.(1)Planes can't fly as high as possible because_________.A. the sky is blueB. the wings are heavierC. the sky has no colorD. the air becomes thinner(2)When you stand on the top of a high mountain, you will see_________.A. more airB. the bluer skyC. more colorsD. more clouds(3)In Ningbo, we might see many colors in the sky at _________during the day.A. 6: 00 a. m.B. 10: 00 a. m.C. 1: 00 p. m.D. 2: 00 p. m.(4)The sky changes colors because____________.A. it's colorful itselfB. the world is colorfulC. the sunlight has colorsD. the air scatters the sunlight4.阅读理解Who is the greatest teacher in Chinese history? Many people would say: Confucius(孔子). September 28is his birthday. He was born over 2, 000 years ago, but people still remember him on this day. Confucius lived in the Kingdom of Lu, part of today's Shandong Province. He lived during the Spring and Autumn Period. His childhood was sad. His father died when he was only 3 and he had to work to help his mother. But young Confucius didn't give up studying. He visited many famous teachers and learned music, history, poetry and sports.Later, he became a teacher and started the first public school in Chinese history. At that time only children from rich families could go to school, but Confucius believed everyone should go to school if they wanted to learn. He had about 3, 000 students in his lifetime.Today, people still follow Confucius' lessons. He told us that everyone has something worthy to be learned. "When I am with three people, one of them must be better than me in some areas. I select their good qualities and follow them. I take their bad qualities and change them in myself. "He also taught us, "All study but no thinking makes people puzzled(困惑的). All thinking but no study makes people lazy."Confucius is not only a great teacher, but also a famous thinker with wise thoughts about the world and society. His most important teachings are about kindness and good manners. "A kind person should care for others. Be strict with yourself, but he kind to others," he said.(1)Confucius started the first public school so that.A. he could find himself a job as a teacherB. children could learn at school rather than at homeC. he could be the first teacher in Chinese historyD. children from poor families could go to school as well(2)Confucius not only gave lessons but also.A. encouraged people to be strictB. provided students with puzzlesC. advised people to behave wellD. taught students how to make friends(3)What can we learn from Confucius according to the passage?A.

Learning music and sports is popular.(4)Which of the following is the best title for this passage?A. Confucius' teaching methodsB. A great man with a hard childhoodC. A person who changed Chinese historyD. Confucius-a great teacher and thinker5.阅读理解Some people bring out the best in you in a way that you might never have fully realized on your own. My mother was one of those people.My father died when I was one year-old. While I was growing up, we led a very hard life, but my mom gave me a lot of love. Bach night, she seated me on her lap and, spoke the words that would change my life," Kemmons, you are sure to be a great man and you can do anything in life if you work hard enough to get it."At fourteen, I was hit by a car and the doctors said that I would never walk again. Every might my mother spoke to me in her gentle, loving voice, telling me whatever those doctors said, I could walk again if I wanted to. She drove that message so deep into my heart that I finally believed her. A year later, I walked on my own to school!When the Great Depression broke out, my mother lost her job. Then I left school to support the two of us. At that moment I decided never to be poor again.Over the years, I experienced a lot of business success. But the real turning point happened on a vacation I took with my wife and five kids in 1951. I was dissatisfied with the second-class hotels available for families and was very angry, that they charged an extra $2 for each child. That was too expensive for an ordinary American family. I told my wife that I was going to open a motel (汽车旅馆) for families that would never charge extra money for children. Many people did not believe me at that time.Not surprisingly, mom was my strongest supporter. As in any business, I experienced a lot of difficulties. But with my mom's words in my heart, I never doubted I would succeed. Fifteen yearslater, I had the largest hotel system in the world- Holiday Inn. In 1979 my company had 1,759 inns in more than fifty countries with an income of $I billion a year.You may not have started out life in the best situations. But if you find a task in life worth working for and believe in yourself, nothing can stop you.(1)What Kemmons's mom often told him during his childhood was .A. boringB. tiringC. encouragingD. interesting(2)What caused Kemmons to start a motel by himself?A. His mom's support.B. His wife's suggestion.C. The poor condition of his family.D. His terrible experience in the hotel.(3)Which of the following best describes Kemmons's mother?A. Serious and hard- working.B. Loving and supportive.C. Strict and humorous.D. Careful and strong-willed.(4)What led to Kemmons's success according to the passage? Why?(请用约40词回答). 6.阅读理解I'm sure most people like music. Music can not only bring us wonderful enjoyment, but also bring us happiness when we are tired or sad. And many people have the habit of enjoying music when they are free. But to our surprise, one English school allows children to listen to music or even to have the TV on while they are studying, and they find it is helpful to improve the students' grades.According to a research at Millfield School in the UK, around 20% of teenagers work better with background music, and 10% excel when allowed to finish their work with short walks around the room while up to 80% can concentrate (集中注意)better if allowed to play with a small object.The research has made the school use a very new way, encouraging students to discover which learning styles suit them best, and then do their homework listening to music or even lying down. Some parents don't believe, .but many are now accepting it at home where children are allowed to do their homework with the television on."I prefer to work on the floor with music on," said Sam, a 13-year-old boy." At first my parent thought I didn't study hard, but my teacher asked them to look at my homework and when they saw it was OK, they agreed at last."(1)What advantage of music hasn't been mentioned in the passage?A.

More and more parents will allow children to listen to music while doing homework.C. The new idea will spread all over the world.D. More and more children will realize the importance of working hard.7.阅读理解The word, "photography", was first used in 1839. It comes from the Greek words that mean "to write with light". But photography could only give people static pictures. So scientists were trying hard to find ways to make pictures that can move. They made lots of experiments, but failed again and again. It was Eadweard Muybridge who finally succeeded. He was the first photographer to try this successfully. But how did he make it? It was an interesting story.Back in 1872, people didn't know exactly(确切地)whether all four of a horse's hooves (蹄)left the ground at the same time when it was running. A gentleman called Leland Stanford made a bet with his friend about it. Most people believed that a horse always had one hoof on the ground, or it would fall over. But Stanford didn't think so.At that time, it was hard to know who could win the bet, because a horse's legs move so fast that it is impossible to tell just by looking. So they needed a way to record the movement of a running horse. Then Stanford offered $ 25,000 to the famous photographer, Muybridge, to help find the answer. In the beginning, Muybridge failed to get clear images, but he didn't give up. He continued to improve his cameras. In 1878, after many experiments, he managed to get a sequence(连续) of 12 photos. One of them clearly showed that all four of the horse's hooves were off the ground at the same time. And when the photos moved fast, people could see a horse running.Though Edison is usually considered as the person who created the first movie in 1889, it was the work of Eadweard Muybridge and the bet that led to Edison's invention.(1)The underlined word "static" in Paragraph 1 most probably means .A. prettyB. darkC. movingD. still(2)What did Leland Stanford make a bet with his friend about?A. Whose horse ran faster.B. Whether a horse would fall over while running.C. Whether it was possible for scientists to make moving pictures.D. Whether a horse's hooves all left the ground at the same time while running.(3)Muybridge finally found the exact answer to the bet in .A. 1839B. 1872C. 1878D. 1889(4)The passage mainly tells us .A. that Thomas Edison created the first movieB. that Eadweard Muybridge created the first static picturesC. how photography helped people know more about animalsD. how Eadweard Muybridge got pictures of motion(移动) successfully8.阅读理解On 26 February, I got an email from my friend David, asking me to go to Tanzania to train theirsoftware engineers. The company is located in Dares Salam, a beautiful coastal city to the west of the Indian Ocean. I stayed for about two weeks in that city last time I was there.

When he passed by a flower shop in the evening, an idea came to his mind, "I'll send mom some roses(玫瑰)."While John was picking his flowers, a young man went inside. "How many roses can I get for only five dollars, Madam?" he asked. The assistant(店员) was trying to tell him roses were as expensive as forty dollars a dozen(一打).

Moved by both of them, the assistant said, "Well, lovely young men, thirty dollars a dozen, only for you." Taking the roses, the young man almost jumped into the air and ran out of the shop. It was wellworth twenty-five dollars that John paid to see the exciting moment. Then John paid for his dozen of roses and told the assistant to send them to his mother.As he walked out, he felt nice. Suddenly he saw the young man crossing the street and going into a park. But soon John realized it was not a park but a cemetery(墓地). Crying, the young man carefully put down the roses, "Mom, oh, Mom, why didn't I tell you how much I loved you?

Does it look like anything?Abstract art became popular in the early 20th century. Artists did not want to paint, draw, or sculpt things exactly like they looked. They didn't want their art to be realistic(现实的). They were more interested in basic shapes and colours.Picasso is probably the most famous of these artists. He painted and drew in many, many styles. Sometimes he used a lot of blue colours (his "blue period"). Later, he used more red and pink colours (his "rose period"). Many of his other paintings are called "cubist (立体派的)" because they are made of painted squares.After a long time, Picasso's paintings became more and more abstract. He painted people and things using strange shapes. His work was so strange that many of his workmates didn't understand it.Kandinsky, another famous artist, used lines, shapes, and patterns to paint his subjects. His paintings also used strong colours to express feelings. Other artists like the surrealists (超现实主义画家),were interested in subconsciousness (潜意识). Painters like Breton and Magritte used many symbols in their work. The meaning or subject of their work wasn't always clear. Dali, another surrealist artist, painted pictures that looked like dreams.There are still many abstract artists around the world. That's the way many artists prefer. They want each person to look at art and find their own meaning in it.(1)Which would be most like abstract art?A. A painting of a house.B. A sculpture of a car.C. A drawing of two people in a coffee house.D. A red and blue painting, with no clear subject.(2)What happened to Picasso's work after a long time?A. It became more abstract.B. It became less strange.C. He went from using red colours to using blue colours.D. He only painted with coloured squares.(3)How did Kandinsky express feelings? A. By using strong colours. B. By painting realistic people.C. By painting with a lot of symbols.D. By painting in red and pink colours.(4)Which of the following is NOT true?A. Picasso painted in many different styles.B. Dali was interested in dreams.C. Abstract artists feel each work of art only has one meaning.D. Magritte's art was full of symbols.12.阅读理解Boston Children's Museum is the second oldest children's museum in the United States.

新理念英语阅读初中二年级 第1册 Getting the picture 摄影术的发展 - 中英互译
新理念英语阅读初中二年级第1册Getting the picture 摄影术的发展Chapter 1 PhotographyChapter 2 The first photographersThe first photographers were inventors, scientists and artists.They built their own cameras, and knew how to use chemicals to process their photos. It wasn't easy to use these early cameras.It could take more than a minute to take a photograph and the plates had to be processed straightaway so that the image wouldn't be lost.Chapter 3 Using filmBy the 1880s, photographers started to use film instead of plates in cameras.This made taking photos easier because many shots could be taken on one roll of film.Cameras became smaller because film was small and light and took up less space inside the cameras than the plates.Also, by the 1880s, cameras started to be sold to the public. These cameras were smaller, cheaper and easier to use than the early cameras.As a result, many people took up photography as a hobby.Chapter 4 Film photographyIn the l900s, more people started taking photos, but few of them processed their own film.This was because it was expensive to buy the equipment and chemicals needed.It was also expensive to set up a darkroom.However, some people did process their own film and today there are still photographers who like to take photos on film and process it themselves.How to process filmProcess film in a darkroom in the following way:1. Place the film in a chemical solution to make the image appear.2. Place the film in another chemical solution to "fix" the image.3. Put the film in the enlarger with the light-sensitive photographic paper below it.4. Shine the light through the film and onto the paper.5. Put the paper in another chemical solution to make the image appear as a photograph.Chapter 5 Digital photographyDigital cameras were first used at the end of the 20th century.Although a digital camera takes an image in the same way as a film camera, it records the image differently.Instead of recording the image chemically on film, a digital camera records the image electronically as digital information.This is the same kind of information a computer uses.Digital cameras became popular very quickly.Most people take photos with them rather than with film cameras.People like to use digital cameras for a, number of reasons:■they are small and easy to use■they have screens that let the photographer see the picture Straightaway■if the image is not right, it can be deleted from the camera■the image can be changed later with a computer program.How to Process Digital PhotosAnyone with a. computer and printer can process their digital photos in the following way:1.Move the photographic files from the camera onto a special photographic program on the computer.2.Make any changes that are needed, such as cutting parts of the photo out.3.Print out the photo.Chapter 6 SummaryWhen photography first began, very few people were able to use cameras. They were large and expensive. Only photographers knew how to use them and how to process the plates or film.Today, cameras are small and quite cheap. They are easy to use and can be connected to a computer program that can make changes to the image and print out the photo.These days, it's easy for anyone to take and to process photos.。
