21．（6分）The extraordinary price paid for the last Leonardo da Vinci’s painting in private hands has resulted in a fevered guess at the buyer —but so far the new owner’s identity is inscrutable.
Christie’s, the auction (拍卖) house that sold “Salvator Mundi” in New Y ork on Wednesday, has remained silent about who paid $ 450m for the 500-year-old work — a price that set a world auction record. With the pool of possible buyers limited to billionaires and a very few institutions, some in the art world are trying to narrow it down to a region or nationality.
Thomas Seydoux, an art adviser and former head of Impressionist and Modem Art at Christie’s, suspects that the bidder is “new money”, because the bidding went up in “wild increases” - at one stage jumping from $ 370m to $ 400m. He guessed that the buyer might be a billionaire from Asia, based on current trends in the world of fine art auctions.
Others have suggested a Gulf royal or billionaire — perhaps from Qatar, which has lavishly (大量地) collected art, or Abu Dhabi, which has just opened a branch of the Louvre museum. The Abu Dhabi branch has a Leonardo’s painting, “La belle ferronniere”, on lo an from the Louvre in Paris but lacks its own.
“Salvator Mundi” has a troubled history. It was sold for £ 45 at Sotheby’s in London in 1958, when it was thought to 6 a copy, but by 2011 it had been accepted as a work entirely by Leonardo, when it was included in an exhibition at the National Gallery in London. It was then reportedly bought for $ 75m - $ 80m by art adviser Yves Bouvier, who sold it to Russian collector Dmitry Rybolovlev for $ 127.5m.
Mr Rybolovlev said, “Thanks to the professionalism and expertise of Christie’s, the record-breaking sale of Da Vinci’s ‘Salvator Mundi’ has helped bring back some of the value of the collection.”
1、What does the underlined word “inscrutable” mean?
A．available B．unknown
C．uncontroversial D．determined
2、What might Thomas Seydoux’s Asian “new money” be based on?
A．The number of wealthy people in Asia.
B．The trend of wealthy people collecting art.
C．The reasonable way the buyer bid for the painting.
D．The aggressive way the bidder drove up the price.
3、What did Rybolovlev’s words suggest?
A．The sale of the painting reflected its value.
B．He regretted having possessed the painting.
C．The high bid for the painting was ridiculous.
D．Christie’s taught us how to appreciate the painting.
4、Which of the following can be the best title of this passage?
A．Troubled History of “Salvator Mundi”
B．Hunt for New Master of Record-breaking Da Vinci
C．The Most Expensive Painting Ever Sold
D．“Salvator Mundi” Painting’s Buyer to Be Told
22．（8分）One day a very skilled artist met a beautiful woman who immediately became the object of his affections. As he observed her and spoke with her, he admired her more and more. He showered her with kindness and words of praise until she consented to be his wife.
Not long after they were married, however, the beautiful woman found out that she was more the object of his artistic interest than of his affections. When he admired her classic beauty, it was as though he were standing in front of a work of art rather than in front of a human being to whom he had pledged his love and promised his life. And soon he expressed his great desire to put her rare beauty on canvas.
“ Please sit for me in the workroom,” he pleaded, “ and I will make your beauty permanent. The work will be my masterpiece!”
She was hu mble and patient as well as flattered by his words, so she said, “Yes, my love. I will be happy to sit for you.” So the beautiful, young wife of the artist sat meekly for hours in his studio, not complaining. Day after day she sat patiently, smiling as she posed, because she loved him and because she hoped that he would see her love in her smile and obedience. She sometimes wanted to call out to him, “ Please love me and want me as a person rather than as an object !” But instead, she spoke nothing but words which pleased him.
At length, as the labor drew to close, the painter became wilder in his passion for his work. He only rarely turned his eyes from the canvas to look at his wife. As he stood
there gazing at his beautiful work of art, he cried with a lo ud voice, “This is indeed life itself!” Then he turned to his beloved and saw that she was dead!
1、In what way did the artist express his appreciation of his wife’s rare beauty?
A．He put her classic beauty on canvas.
B．He promised to marry her.
C．He centered his deep affection on her.
D．He pledged his love and promised his life to her.
2、What can be inferred from the story?
A．The artist loved his work more than his wife.
B．The artist didn’t really understand what is beauty.
C．The wife was fooled to sacrifice for his art creation.
D．The wife loved his painting more than herself.
3、What did the artist mean by saying “This is indeed life itself!”？
A．He appreciated his life of painting. B．He was grateful to his wife.
C．His work was more true to life than life itself. D．His effort was really worth it.
4、What would be the best title for this passage?
A．A Well-matched Couple B．A Devoted Artist
C．A Rare Masterpiece D．A Stupid Wife
23．（8分）It was a cold night in Washington, D．C．, and I was heading back to the hotel when a man approached me. he asked if I would give him some money so he could get something to eat. I’d read the signs in the hotel: “Don’t give money to beggars.” So I shook my head and kept walking.
The incident bothered me for the rest of the week. I had money in my pocket and it wouldn't have killed me to hand over a dollar or two even if he had been lying. Back home, I started to write my weekly garden column for The Anchorage Daily News. All of a sudden, I thought of Bean’s Café, the soup kitchen in Anchorage, which feeds hundreds of hungry Alaskans every day. why not try to get all my readers to plant a row of vegetables in their gardens and donate them to Bean’s Cafe?
In April 1995, the Garden Writers Association of America held their annual meeting in Anchorage and after learning of Anchorage’s program, Plant a Row for Bean's became Plant a Row For The Hungry. The original idea was to have every member of the Garden Writers Association of America write or talk about planting a
row for the hungry sometime during the month of April.
Garden editor Joan Jackson, backed by The San Jose Mercury News and California’s nearly year-round growing season, raised more than 30,000 pounds of fruits and vegetables the first year, and showed how the program could really work. Today program continues to boom and grow.
1、Why didn’t the writer give money to the man?
A．Because he was afraid that the man was a liar
B．Because he had no money on him at that time
C．Because he was in a hurry to get back to his hotel
D．Because he didn’t know that man
2、What inspired the writer to think of the program to help the poor?
A．A beggar B．A hotel
C．the Garden Writers Association D．Bean’s Café
3、How does the author feel about the effect of the Plan a Row program?
A．It’s discouraging B．It’s satisfying
C．It’s doubtful D．It’s cha llenging
4、Which might be the best title of the passage?
A．Everybody Can Make a Big Difference to the World
B．A Campaign to Remove Poverty
C．Plant a Row for the Hungry
D．How to Help People in Need
24．（8分）The human beings seem to be facing a crisis （危机）．After our best Go players were defeated one by one by the artificial intelligence （AI）AlphaGo，we lost our pride of being at the top of the intelligence chain．And in October，when Saudi Arabia gave citizenship to a robot named Sophia，another privilege of being human was taken away．It looks like everything that separates humans and AI is at risk fight now．
But we keep hoping that instead of "everything"，there's still something left in us that makes us irreplaceable．
To Hao Jingfang，winner of the 2016 Hugo Award for Best Novelette，that "something" is our consciousness．"AlphaGo is intelligent in a certain way，but not intelligent enough to ask the important questions -- Do I like playing Go？Do I want to
play Go today？Why do I have to play Go when you tell me to？" she once said．In other words，computer programs don't have a choice to say "no"．They probably don't even know what a "choice" is -- all they ever do is calculate．
And to He Huaihong，a philosophy （哲学）professor at Peking University，imagination and creativity are also what make us special．"A machine couldn't have come up with the theory of gravity just because it was hit by a falling apple"，he said．"It's human imagination that connects what seem to be completely random and irrelevant concepts，something that a machine--which works by fixed rules only--can't do，at least for now．"
This is why BBC reporter Viktor Mayer-Schonberger suggested that instead of focusing on how computers have overshadowed us on calculating abilities than humans，we should probably "consider our quality at a different end of the spectrum （光谱）：creativity，originality （原创性），even plain illogical craziness，instead of hard-nosed （顽固的）logic"，he wrote．
So maybe in the future，as artificial intelligence becomes even more intelligent，humans and A1will learn to use each other's talents for good．If AI can handle the boring tasks like calculating and driving for us，we'll have more time to create，think，and be busy with "being human"．
1、What can we learn about AlphaGo，according to Hao Jingfang？______
A．It will be taught to say no in the future．
B．It will be more intelligent than humans one day．
C．It has difficulty answering personal questions．
D．It is unable to think independently as humans do．
2、What does He Huaihong believe is unique to humans？______ A．Intelligence．B．Originality．
C．The ability to make rules．D．The ability to make choices．
3、What does the underlined word "overshadowed" in paragraph 5 probably mean？
______
A．Competed with B．Taken control of
C．Been more successful than D．Influenced
4、What could be the future of AI according to the author？______
A．It will be used to help humans，rather than compete with us．
B．It may develop creativity besides better logical thinking．
C．It might be very dangerous to humans in different fields．
D．It will be applied to provide driving service for humans．
25．（10分）Young people in the United States do not have a strong understanding of the world and their place in it.
Two US-based groups, the Council on Foreign Relations and the National Geographic Society, conducted an online survey last year. They wanted to know what young people in American colleges knew about geography, U. S. foreign policy, recent international events, and economics.
The survey was given to over 1,200 Americans between the ages of 18 and 26, all of them presently attending, or having previously graduated from. a 2- or 4-year college or university.
The average test score, out of 75 total possible answers, was 55 percent. The study identifies a few important problems. For example, only 30 percent knew that the only part of the U. S. government that can declare war is Congress. Only 60% of those taking the survey could identify Brazil on a world map.
“Part of the problem,” argue the organizers of the survey, “is the Internet.” They say it is becoming harder to find high-quality information about world events among all the fake news and trivia (琐事) which swamp (淹没) the web. Forty-three percent of those questioned said they read about the news on Facebook.
Another problem is that most college courses do not require students to learn about international issues. If such information is not required, Richard Haass from the Council on Foreign Relations said, then the United States could have leaders like Gary Johnson. He was a recent presidential candidate who did not know about the Syrian city of Aleppo when a reporter asked him about it.
The survey results were not all bad. The young people also demonstrated a good understanding of climate change and renewable energy. And the majority of them said that international issues were becoming more important to them.
Haass says these findings suggest the need to find ways to get good information for students, both in school and online. To help, the Council on Foreign Relations is creating a new program called CFR Campus, designed to help build knowledge about global issues.
1、What do we know about the survey?
A．The participants were all recent university graduates.
B．It was an online survey conducted by two US universities.
C．It was given to over 1,200 American people aged from 18 to 26.
D．It aimed to find out what the young people know about America.
2、What’s one reason the organizers of the survey give for young people’s lack of knowledge?
A．The poor quality of the US university system.
B．Y oung people’s unwillingness to travel abroad.
C．The sources from which they gel their information
D．Their lack of interest in knowing more about the world.
3、What topic did the young Americans understand best according to the survey? A．Government organizations.
B．Geographic information.
C．Foreign relations.
D．Environmental matters.
4、In which part of a newspaper could we find this article?
A．Economics. B．Education.
C．National Politics. D．Entertainment.

25、You can’t make a call or send a text on your mobile phone in the US town of Green Bank, West Virginia. Wireless Internet is outlawed, as is Bluetooth. As you approach the tiny town on a two-lane road that snakes through the mountains, your mobile phone signal drops out, and your radio stops working. The rusted pay phone on the north side of town is the only way for a visitor to reac h the rest of the world. It’s a pre-modern place by design, lacking of the latest technologies that define life today.
The reason for the town’s empty airwaves is apparent the moment you arrive. It’s the Robert C．Byrd telescope, also known as the GBT, a shiny white, 147-metre-tall satellite dish. It’s the largest of its kind in the world and one of nine in Green Bank, all of them government owned and operated by the National Radio Astronomy Observatory (NRAO).
You don’t look through these kinds of telescopes. They’re radio telescopes, so instead of looking for distant stars, they listen for them. There’s a long line of astronomers all over the world who want to use the telescope which is so sensitive that it could hear a single snowflake hitting the ground 1,000 miles away.
Such a sensitive listening tool needs total technological silence to operate, so in 1958 the US government created a National Radio Quiet Zone, a 33,000 km2 area covering Green Bank where, to this day, electronic and radio signals are forbidden every hour of every day.
People who live within a 15km of the Green Bank telescope are allowed to use landline telephones, wired Internet and cable televisions, but microwave ovens, wireless Internet and radios are forbidden. You can have a mobile ph one, but you won’t get a signal.
Because of how much its way of life varies from the rest of America, Green Bank seems to be a somewhat isolated (隔绝), even alien place. For locals, the technology ban is annoying. For others who come to Green Bank for a little rest and relaxation, the
town has become a refuge.
5、What do we know about the town of Green Bank from Paragraph 1?
A．It’s located at the base of a large mountain.
B．It is geographically and technologically isolated.
C．Its telecommunications are affected by its geography.
D．Many people live in the town and its surrounding areas.
6、How does the GBT work?
A．It traps light waves in its huge dish.
B．It stops all electronic and radio signals.
C．It receives pictures from space satellites.
D．It listens for and receives noises from space.
7、What equipment are locals of the Green Bank allowed to use?
A．Cable TV, wired Internet and radio.
B．Landline phones, wired Internet and cable TV.
C．Public phones, wireless Internet and mobile phones.
D．Landline phones, microwave ovens and cable internet.
8、What does the underlined word “refuge” in the last paragraph most probably mean? A．A place of escape. B．A source of confusion.
C．An area of interest. D．A sign of danger.

第二节书面表达（满分25分）
29、Dear Mr. Zhang,
We have held a discussion about whether it is good or not for a top student to share a desk with a slower student.
Some are for the idea. As they know, everyone has strengths as well as weaknesses. Although they are not good at lessons, they might do well in other fields like sports or arts. Therefore, they can learn from each other, and they may develop a friendship. In addition, top students can help slower ones gain self-confidence by helping them with their lessons, which benefits them all.
However, others don’t hold the same view. They think some slower students are always making trouble, such as keeping talking in class, breaking school rules, which may lead to them forming the bad habits. Besides, slower students often ask top students questions, which has a bad effect on their studies.
In my opinion, I’d like to choose to share a desk with a slower student so that we can learn from each other and make progress together.
Yours,
Li Ping。
