I am astonished at the way God knows when to send a special gift of encouragement at just the right time! It might be in a dream, a lost letter, a memory, or something found that we’d forgotten about.

My grandmother was from a town in Michigan. And summer after summer I enjoyed staying with my grandparents as a young child. I was from the city and loved the small town where they lived. People knew everyone, their children, their pets, their ancestors.

Grandma was always using her hands for something exciting... she would make sandwiches and we’d have tea parties, plant flowers and carefully tend them. She loved knitting sweaters as well as making beautiful quilts for her grandchildren. I remember the small thimble (顶针) she would place on her finger while doing her needlework.

A few years ago, when Grandma left this earth for her new residence in Heaven, I bid farewell to my loving grandmother. How quickly our lives can change! We had just had tea together a couple of months earlier, on her 91st birthday. I missed her very much, but I noticed it mostly on my birthdays, because there was no card from Grandma. She’d never forgotten my birthday!

On one particular birthday when I was feeling a little low, something happened made me feel as if she was sharing that special day with me. I was arranging some colorful pillows that she had made, and suddenly I felt something inside one pillow; it was small and hard. I moved the object to a seam （缝）that I carefully opened, and, to my delight, out came a tiny silver thimble!

How happy I was to find something that had been a part of her! Not realizing it had fallen off her finger, I pictured her sewing it into that little pillow that I just happened to fluff（抖松）, to place on my bedspread（床罩）that day. I carefully laid the thimble alongside the others I’d collected over the years. What a precious memory of a very special lady who, somehow, I knew, was laughing in delight at sewing her thimble into my pillow. I heated the kettle and made some tea, using my best china, as Grandma always did, and then enjoyed my tea and Grandma’s thimble. What a wonderful birthday that was!

24.In the author’s memory, what would her grandmother do?

A. She would make sandwiches and hamburgers for her family.

B. She would wear a thimble for needlework every day.

C. She would make beautiful quilts for money.

D. She would look after the flowers in the garden.

25. What does the underlined word, “it”, in Paragraph 4, refer to?

A. The modern worl d’s fast-changing life.

B. The fact that the grandmother had passed away.

C. The author’s missing her grandmother.

D. The love the author got from her grandmother.

26. How did the author feel when she found the thimble?

A. Surprised.

B. Regretful.

C. Guilty.

D. Lonely.

27. Which of the following might be the best title for the passage?

A. Grandma’s Thimble

B. Grandma’s Life Story

B. The Joy of Finding Something Lost

C. The Importance of Putting Things Away

C

Sydney's Royal Botanic Gardens are to start a war on gray-headed flying foxes. These super bats have invaded one of Australia’s most famous public spaces. Officials have said the animals are destroying trees and have to move on.

These unwanted guests at Sydney’s Royal Botanic Gardens look lik e tiny foxes with wings. Officials have estimated there are about 11,000 of them living in the picturesque harbor-side park. After inspecting damage to dozens of trees they now believe there are twice as many as previously thought. Branches have been breaking under the weight of these furry invaders and their droppings have been poisoning plants.

Help may well be at hand, however, in the shape of the ordinary garbage bin. The gardens’ director Dr. Tim Entwistle hopes the unpleasant sounds of crashing bin lids will agitate the flying foxes and force them to move on. “The way to disturb them is to use noises, so we’ve used the loud noises made by rubbish bins in the past. You can also use speakers as long as you move the noise around, and what we’ll do is have a series of noises, at the beginning and end of the day. What we’ve found in the past is that the flying foxes leave the gardens and go somewhere else,” said Tim.

The gray-headed flying fox is Australia’s largest bat. It flies around at night using its ey es and a powerful sense of smell to search for fruit and flowers. Officials at the Royal Botanic Gardens in Sydney have said they’re optimistic the unwelcome colony can be uprooted. If and when the bats do move to other parts of the city they will of cours e then become someone else’s problem.

28. According to the passage, Why do people want to get rid of the flying foxes ?

A. Because the garden are important public places

B. Because they are polluting the city

C. Because many garbage bins have been damaged by them

D. Because they’re threatening the survival of trees and other plants

29. In order to get rid of the flying foxes, what are people doing?

A. They are shooting them

B. They are using rubbish containers

C. They are shaking the trees hard

D. They are cutting some trees down

30. Which of the following can replace the underlined “agitate” in Paragraph 3?

A. excite

B.kill

C.disturb

D. discourage

31. What does the writer imply from the last paragraph?

A. The bats will still stay in the gardens.

B. Some area will have to deal with the bats.

C. The grey-headed flying fox often eat trees

D. The damage caused by the bats is serious

D

The year 2114 will be an eventful one for art. In May of that year in Berlin, the philosopher-artist Jonathon Keats’ “century cameras” – cameras with a 100-year-long exposure (曝光）time – will be brought back from hiding places around the city to have their results developed and exhibited. Six months after that, the Future Library in Oslo, Norway, will open its doors for the first time, presenting 100 books printed on the wood of trees planted in the distant past of 2014.

As Katie Paterson, the creator of the Future Library, puts it: “Future Library is an artwork for future generations.” These projects, more than a century in the making, are part of a new wave of “slow art” intended to push viewers and participants to think beyond their own lifetimes. They aim to challenge today’s short-term thinking and the brief attention spans of modern consumers, forcing people into considering works more deliberately. In their way, too, they are fighting against modern culture – not just regarding money, but also the way in which artistic worth is measured by attention.

In a similar fashion, every April on Slow Art Day, visitors are encouraged to stare at five works of art for 10 minutes at a time – a tough task for the average museum visitor, who typically spends less than 30 seconds on each piece of art.

Like the Future Library, the century cameras are very much a project for cities, si nce it’s in cities that time runs fastest and the pace of life is fastest. “Since I started living in a city, I’ve somehow been quite disconnected,” Anne Beate Hovind, the Future Library project manager, who described

how working on the library drew her back to the pace of life she knew when she was growing up on a farm in her youth, told The Atlantic magazine.

32. According to the first paragraph, what will NOT happen in 2114 ?

A. A camera which was produced 100 years ago will be exhibited.

B. The Future Library will be open to the public for the first time.

C. Photos with a 100-year exposure time will be developed and exhibited.

D. Books printed on the wood of trees planted in 2014 will be displayed.

33. What can we learn about today’s people’s attitude to ward works of art?

A. They consider works deliberately.

B. They spend little time on works.

C. They spend much money on works.

D. They stare at works for 10 minutes at a time.

34.What is the purpose of the wave of slow art?.

A. To advocate creating works of art slowly.

B .To protect works of art from being damaged.

C. To promote works of art for modern culture.

D. To encourage people to pay more attention to works of art.

35. How would Anne Beate Hovind feel about the city life?

A. It’s discouraging

B. It’s dull

C. It’s developed.

D. It’s busy

Dear Danny,

I’m sorry to tell you that I can’t t go to the cinema with you this Sunday.I feel terrible that I will break our promise and miss the chance to have fun.

The reason for this is that I just heard of a wonderful calligraphy exhibition which will be held in our city on that day. It’s said that this exhibition will gather a la rge number of famous works created by top masters. It is definitely a great opportunity for us to experience the charm of Chinese calligraphy and enrich our knowledge about Chinese culture.Since you are fascinated by Chinese culture, I sincerely hope you can come withe me together.

I am looking forward to your reply!

Test 6

W: Excuse me. I wonder if you could tell me how to find a place to have my shoes mended. I’m new in town.

M: Ah, there is a good shop not far from here. Go straight ahead and walk about three blo cks. I can’t remember the name of the shop, but you’ll find it. It’s near the police station. By the way, you know about the Town Guide? It’s a thin book and has all kinds of useful information. You’ll find one in any bookstore.

W: Thanks again.

The National Weather Service has warned us that the eye of the storm should reach us within the next half-hour, so it is important that you take shelter. We ask that you move to the back of the store. Leave your shopping carts where they

are and go directly to the customer service area in the back of the store, near the restrooms. If you are afraid if small spaces or crowds, you may take shelter in the restrooms. If you are an employee of the store, please lock you cash drawer and move to the back of the store with the customers. The electricity may go out during this severe storm, so please listen for my voice as I give you updates. I will keep you informed until the storm has passed. The front doors will be locked as we wait for the storm to pass, so please do not try to leave. The parking lot can be full of broken glass and flying objects, so please follow our directions and move slowly to the back of the store. Your safety and well-being are important to us.
