Fine art fairs（艺术博览会）are the trend of the 21st century, with new art and antique（古玩）fairs and festivals springing up in diverse parts of the world. Here is a list of four noteworthy art fairs.
Art Basel, Basel, Switzerland
The granddaddy of art fairs, Art Basel, was established in 1970 by a group of local art gallerists and is the biggest contemporary art fair in the world. Art Basel takes place over a 5-day period each June in Basel, Switzerland. The high cost of renting space for gallery owners is offset（抵消）by the huge attendance at the fair. For example in 2010, about 60,000 visitors attended Art Basel.
Frieze Art Fair, London
“Frieze Art Fair was established in 2003 and is one of the few fairs to focus only on contemporary art and living artists.v"Thefair takes place every October in Regent's Park, London. It features over 170 of the most exciting contemporary art galleries in the world. ”
In addition to the fair which began in 2003, the fair owners Matthew Slotover and Amanda Sharp publish Frieze, an international art magazine established in 1991 and devoted to contemporary art.
TEFAF Maastricht, the Netherlands
Established in 1975 as The Pictura Fine Art Fair, and renamed The European Fine Art Foundation（TEFAF）, Maastricht in 1996, the fair includes 260 of the world's most famous art and antique dealers from 16 countries.
The 24th edition of the TEFAF fair held March 18 — 27, 2011 featured 260 dealers exhibiting approximately 30, 000 artworks and antiques with an overall value of $ US 1. 4 billion.
ARCO, Madrid

Alex Wong, a junior atMarkKeppelHigh SchoolinAlhambra,California, is working hard on his application to a top college. His resume shows off his nearly straight A’s in difficult classes, experience at a summer program atStanfordUniversity, Eagle Scout project and time on the soccer team as well as the school choir. But his steady progress stopped unexpectedly this year. Aiming to open access to college-level Advanced Placement (大学预科) courses, his schoolbegan using a computer-based lottery to give out spaces. Alex got shut out of all three of the courses he requested.
The new system caused anger among families whose children failed to get into AP courses, which many consider important to develop advanced skills, improve grade-point averages and allow students to earn college credit, saving them and their families tuition dollars. Students and parents wrote to administrators to complain, circulated a petition (请愿) and launched a Facebook group for trading classes. “I’M DESPERATE! I’LL GIVE YOU FREE FOOD,” one student, Kirk Hum, posted on the 210-member AP Flea Market Facebook group.
AP classes have long been held dear by the most talented and ambitious students.But now they are seen as positive for all students who are willing to push themselves – and schools are increasingly viewing access to them as a basic educational right. But this change has brought challenges.
Miracle Vitangcol, a junior atDowntownMagnetsHigh Schoolwith average grades and test scores, is failing her AP US history class. She said she can’t handle the rapid pace and volume of material she needs to remember. But she said she intends to stick it out because the class is teaching her to manage her time, take good notes and work hard. “I’m struggling to adjust,” she said. “But I keep telling myself: ‘It’s OK. You can do it. Just push yourself’.”
Some critics worry that the open-access movement is pushing too many unprepared students into AP classes, as shown by higher exam failure rates over the last decade. They also fear that open enrollment (录取) policies are encouraging teachers to weaken courses and give out high grades to students who don’t deserve them. “While expanding access is generally a good thing, we need to make sure we’re not watering down the experience for the high achievers,” said Michael Petrilli, executive vice president of the Thomas B. Fordham Institute, a Washington-based educational policy organization.
4. The purpose of the new AP courses system at Alex Wong’s school is to ______.
A. make sure all students get access to the AP courses they desire.
B. ensure that students have a fair chance to get access to AP courses.
C. improve the academic performance of students in AP courses.
D. separate high achievers from average students through the new courses.
5. According to the article, the AP Flea Market Facebook group is a place where ______.
A. students’ parents send their complaints to school administrators.
B. students share tips about saving money for college.
C. students offer items to trade for the AP courses they need.
D. students can find support and guidance on their AP study.
6. Which of the following statements would Michael Petrilli agree with?
A. Opening AP courses to all students is a bad idea.
B. School administrators should maintain high academic standards for AP courses.
C. High schools should stop charging students for taking AP courses.
D. Access to AP courses is necessary for students applying for top American colleges.
7. The author used Miracle Vitangcol’s example to show that ______.
A. students need to remember too much in their AP courses.
B.AP courses pose a big challenge to unprepared students.
C. the secret to success in AP courses is to keep pushing yourself.
D. average students don’t deserve their places in AP courses.
C
Someday soon an emoji (表情符号)might really save lives.
Hiroyuki Komatsu is a Google engineer who suggested adding a series of new emojis to the standard emoji library. It could help those with food allergies (过敏)understand what they are eating anywhere inthe world. Emojis should cover characters representing major food causing allergies. They make people understand what are used in foods even in foreign countries and safely select meals.
Emojis are universal because they are chosen and developed by the Unicode Consortium, a non-profit company that oversees, develops and maintains how text is represented. This is in regards to all software products and standards. It's thanks to the Unicode Standard that when you text a friend six pizza emojis, they’ll see those six pizza pieces on their phone. This is true regardless of whether they use an iPhone or an Android.
Because emojis are everywhere and visual(视觉的),they could be helpful for restaurants and food packaging designers. They can communicate whether a product is made with common causing-allergy food. But as Komatsu’s advice argues, many of the most common causing-allergy foods are missing or poorly represented by the present emoji library. For example, there is an emoji for octopus, but nothing for squid. There is a loaf of bread that could symbolize grain, but a picture of wheat could be clearer. The emojis can be more direct when symbolizing foods.
It’s not uncommon for the Unicode Consortium to add new emojis to the library: several food-related emojis were put into use last June, including some long-waited food emojis. Apple included support for multiracial emojis in a recent iOS update. An artist even recreated Moby-Dick in emoji characters. Some might be sorry for the continuing death of the written word if Komatsu’s suggestion is accepted, but look on the bright side: if you ever see that happy poop on a box, you’ll know to stay away.
8. How will emojis save lives according to the text?
A. By showing what the food contains visually.
B. By telling the safest places in the world.
C. By teaching people how to treat allergies.
D. By adding standard emojis about safety.
9. What does paragraph 3 mainly tell us?
A. Emojis have the same meanings around the world.
B. The Unicode Consortium is a non-profit company.
C. What emojis represent is different in different places.
D. Different mobile operating systems have different emojis.
10. What can be the reason for Komatsu’s advice?
A. Emojis are easy to mix up.
B. Present emojis are not enough.
C. Emojis can't interest most users.
D. Emojis can't represent foods directly.
11. What is the author’s attitude to Komatsu's suggestion?
A. Doubtful.
B. Worried.
C. Supportive.
D. Uninterested.
D
Jake Oldershaw and his daughter Mollie from Birmingham, Britain have asthma (哮喘). Mollie, 11, has required hospital treatment several times while Jake Says he always finds breathing more difficult when there is heavy traffic. Air quality has an enormous impact on their lives and both noticed a marked improvement during
the spring lockdown because of the epidemic (疫情). Jake said, “During lockdown there was a noticeable difference in air quality. I didn't suffer any asthmatic attacks during that period. These days you can feel the effects.”
However, under current COVID-19 restrictions in the UK this winter, many people probably will have to work from home. The Energy and Climate Intelligence Unit (ECIU) says while emissions (排放) have dropped this year because we've been travelling less and doing less, the expected use ofgas boilers to provide heating and hot water could rise by more than half.
Heating accounts for nearly 37% of the UK's total carbon emissions. Modelling by the ECIU suggests a 56% increase in boiler usage this winter resulting in a 12% increase in emissions of carbon. The ECIU says that's enough to offset the last two years' worth of progress on reducing traffic emissions.
Jess Ralston, author of the analysis for the ECIU, said, “Working from home and having increased gas use in the home could be really critical for air pollution and also climate change. The way we heat our homes needs to change if we are to get to net zero by 2050.”
Jess Ralston said, “The increase in pollution from gas boilers expected this winter provides a graphic illustration (图解) of their forgotten role in air pollution. And it is a role set to continue without practical policies to decarbonize home heating. ”
The government is set to publish its Heat and Buildings Decarbonisation Strategy in a few weeks which is expected to give details on plans to try to switch British homes to cleaner sources of heat.
12. How did the spring lockdown in the UK affect Jake?
A. He was cured of his asthma.
B. He had to go to hospital for retreatment.
C. He suffered a noticeable difficulty in study.
D. He didn't suffer any asthmatic attacks during that period.
13. What is concerning the Energy and Climate Intelligence Unit?
A. The epidemic will become worse.
B. Air pollution will get worse this winter.
C. People may have to work from home longer.
D. There is less energy for gas boilers in winter.
14. What would Jess Ralston agree with?
A. People prefer to work from home in winter.
B. The government failed to protect the environment.
C. People tend to ignore the harmful effect of home heating.
D. The climate has suffered a lot from the epidemic this year.
15. How to improve air quality during winter according to Jess Ralston?
A. A warmer winter season.
B. Less and less gas boilers.
C. Practical plans from the government.
D. Improved awareness of cutting down pollution.

One of my classmates got a scholarship for his wonderful performance at school in last year. As further as I know, 50% of his scholarship is spent on daily meals. And I bought a new smartphone with another 30%. He thought that it was common for a student use a smartphone at school. In additional, he took 12% out of the scholarship to treat other student. The rest of his scholarship, 8% of the total, went on his favorite books. Personal, I think it is unnecessary for students to have a smartphone of their own.

续写的词数应为150左右。

“Okay,” said our teacher, Mrs. Woodland:“It's time for the gift exchange.” I wasactually a little excited. I knew what a lot of the girls had brought, and any of those giftswould be great, especially my best friend Sara's. She had made some candy and put it inthis super cute bear mug(马克杯).
Mrs. Woodland had us put our gifts on ourclassroom table. Then we opened the giftslike a game. We each drew numbers and we got to the table and chose a wrapped(包装好的)gift when our number was called. But we didn't necessarily have to. We could take a giftfrom somebody else that had already hadtheir number called-if we thought we'd like thatgift better than the wrapped ones.
When it was my turn, I didn't take a wrapped gift from the table. And I didn't takeSara's either though I really wanted to.I took the perfume(香水)Megan had broughtinstead. I didn't have enough money to get Mom something special, but the perfume wasreally nice. She might really like it.
I was busy thinking about the perfume and whether Mom would like it or not whenthere was a big commotion(嘈杂).It had been Hannah's turn to choose. She was the lastone. And unsurprisingly, she didn't go for the last wrapped gift on the table. Instead, she'dtaken Sara's gift from Lauren. Well,that meant Lauren had to take the wrapped gift. Shelooked a little upset when she got to the table. Everyone knew the last gift was from Kali.That was why no one had chosen it. Kali was really poor. And she always brought gifts thatno one ever wanted. This time,she brought a pair of old-fashioned crocheted potholders(编织的防烫套垫)！
＂I don't want these,"Lauren whined(哀怨）。

“I want my candy back.”
＂No way,"Hannah protested,keeping the mug of chocolate out of Lauren's reach.
“Then I want Megan's perfume."Lauren came over to take my perfume."Come on,Melanie,trade with me."
Paragraph 1:
Mrs. Woodland advised me to trade with Lauren since I had always been kind.
Paragraph 2:
"Here,”I said to my mom after I got home,handing her the potholders."They are an
early New Year gift.”
