The Smithsonian’s National Portrait Gallery was preparing the wall text in 2014 to accompany an image of the boxer Mayweather Jr. During the process, the Washington museum decide d to note that Mr. Mayweather had been“charge d with domestic violence on several occasions,”receiving“punishments ranging from community service to jail time.”

Such context is common for ____11____ subjects in art, but far less so for artists themselves. Men like Picasso or Schiele were known for mistreating women, but their works hang in

____12____ museums without any asterisks（星号）.

Now, museums around the world are ____13____ with the implications of a decision, by the National Gallery of Art in Washington, to ____14____ postpone a Chuck Close exhibition because of ____15____ of sexual harassment（骚扰）involving potential portrait models that have involved the artist in controversy. Mr. Cloze has called the allegations“lies”and said he is“being severely criti cized.”

The ____16____ has raised difficult questions about what to do with the paintings and photographs of Mr. close—held by museums like the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York, the Tate in London and the Pompidou in Paris, as well as by high-spending collectors—and whether the work of other artists accused of questionable ____17____ needs to be revisited.

It is a provocative（引起争论的）moment for the art world, as the public debate about

____18____ creative output from personal behavior moves from popular culture into the realm of major visual artists from different eras and the institutions that have long collected and exhibited their pieces.

“We’re very used to having to defend people in the collection, but it’s always been for the sitter”rather than the artist, said Kim Sajet, director of the Portrait Gallery, which has a large body of Mr. Close’s work.“Now we have to think to ourselves,‘Do we need to do that about Chuck Close?’”

“You can’t talk about portraiture in America without talking about Chuck Close,”she added.“There are lots of amazing artists who have been less than admirable people.”

Whatever museums ____19____ decide to do about Mr. Close, some say they can no longer afford to simply present art without ____20____ the issues that surround the artist—that institutions must play a more active role in educating the public about the human beings behind

the work.

In most democracies today, people expect women to vote. Women are just as able to make decisions about their ___11___ leaders as men. But 200 years ago, most people didn't think so.

As late as the middle of the 19 century only men voted in most Western countries. A few countries or states let women vote in local elections. But women voting was far from ____12____. At that time, people believed that women belonged in the home. That meant they should not get involved with public life.

But women in Europe, North America and New Zealand began ___13___ this situation. They believed that they should have a(n) ___14___ in their government's leaders. In 1792 an English novelist named Mary Wollstonecraft ___15___that women should be able to vote, In the United States, Lucretia Mott and Elizabeth Cady Stanton were important figures. They met while campaigning to put a(n) ___16___ to slavery. In the process, they decided that women also should have more ___17___.

Yet despite the ___18___ of these women neither Great Britain nor the United States was the first country to let women vote. That honor goes to New Zealand, which changed their law on September 19, 1893. This was because of women like Kate Shepherd. She led a group that presented petitions(请愿书) to their parliament three years in a row. Shepherd is now honored on New Zealand's s10 bill.

New Zealand was followed by Australia in 1902 and Finland in 19 zero six. By this time, some U.S. states and territories allowed women to vote. But the country as a whole didn't give women the right until after World War I.

In many countries, the right to hold political office came along with the right to vote. And women have ___19___ that right. In many countries, women have even held their country's highest office. All of that is due to the efforts of women who fought for a(n) ___20___ voice

Photography is often perceived as an objective， and therefore unbiased， medium for documenting and preserving historic moments and national and world histories， and for visualizing and narrating news stories．

But the choices made by a photographer ﹣ including how the image is___11___， what is left in or out of the frame， and how it may be cropped， edited， or otherwise altered after it is taken ﹣ introduce a point﹣of﹣view into the photograph and___12___ impact how we

receive and understand images． Such considerations raise critical questions about how willingly we accept any one photograph as a reflection of___13___ truth．

Photographs can bear___14___ to history and even serve as catalysts（催化剂）for change． They can foster sympathy and raise awareness or，___15___， offer critical commentary on historical people， places， and events． Throughout the history of the medium， photographers have aimed to capture the essence of events they saw with their own eyes﹣though the question of the trustworthiness of their images is always up for debate．Though Dorothea Lange had been operating a successful portrait studio in San Francisco since 1919，she was moved by the homeless people as the Great Depression began to take its toll， and she started photographing them． These photographs led to her being hired by the federal Farm Security Administration（FSA）， formed to raise awareness of and provide aid to poor farmers．Lange closely identified with the FSA's mission， which was to___16___ the effects of the Depression on Americans， bringing attention to their struggles so that such events would never recur． Due in part to her work with the FSA， Lange became known as a pioneer of documentary photography， a___17___ she disliked because she felt the term did not reflect the passionate social motivations that fueled her work．

Dorothea Lange took this photograph Migrant Mother， Nipomo， California in 1936，while employed by the FSA program． In Nipomo， California， Lange came across Florence Owens Thompson and her children in a camp filled with field workers whose livelihoods were devastated by the failure of the pea crops． Recalling her encounter with Thompson years later， she said， "I saw and approached the hungry and desperate mother． I do not remember how I explained my___18___ or my camera to her， but I do remember she asked me no questions． I made five exposures， working closer and closer from the same direction．" One photograph from that shoot， now known as Migrant Mother， was widely___19___ to magazines and newspapers and became a symbol of the plight of migrant farm workers during the Great Depression．

As Lange described Thompson's situation， "She and her children had been living on frozen vegetables from the field． Yet they could not move on， for she had just sold the tires from the car to buy food．" However，Thompson later___20___ Lange's account． When a reporter interviewed her in the 1970s， she insisted that she and Lange did not speak to each other， nor did she sell the tires of her car． Thompson said that Lange had either confused her for another farmer or embellished（渲染） what she had understood of her situation in order to make a better story．

Directions: Complete the following passage by using the sentences given below. Each sentence can be used only once. Note that there are two more sentences than you need.

A. So if they’re not building by imitation or carrying out instructions, how is this knowledge getting passed around?

B. Crafting tool is a kind of culture, which can be passed down from generation to generation by crows.

C. However, the crows only got treats when they popped in a paper “coin” of a certain size.

D. These birds, native to the islands of New Caledonia east of Australia, are known for their ability to craft tools.

AB. Seeing this in action is important because it supports the idea that New Caledonian crows are capable of building — at least when it comes to crafting tools.

AC. Jelbert and her team then gave the crows paper to let them cut into proper size.

There’s no denying crows are smart. They can remember where food has been hidden, recognize faces and craft tools.

And, according to a new paper in Scientific Reports, some crows can even make those tools from memory. This skill may point to these clever corvids having a sort of culture of their own.

Researchers, led by Sarah Jelbert at the University of Cambridge, worked specifically with New Caledonian crows. _____67_____ But experts haven’t been able to make sure where the crows pick up their skills. A bird in one area can construct the same tool as another bird miles away —but there’s no evidence bird one watched bird two build the gadget in order to copy it. And New Caledonian crows don’t really have a language, either.

_____68_____ Jelbert and her team had a hunch(预感) that it was because the birds were building based on the memory of tools they’d seen.

To test this, the group trained eight crows to place pieces of paper into a pseudo-vending machine (really just a wooden box) to get a treat. _____69_____ Once they learned which sizes were rewarded, Jelbert and her team then gave the feathered participants large cards; the birds could fashion these into the coin sizes they’d picked up on earlier. Importantly, the crows didn’t get any sort of template(模板) when they were working with the big cards. And the birds snipped them into pieces that were similar in size to the coins they’d learned would get them treats.

Given the lack of a template to copy, it seems the crows were able to construct mental images of the coins and use it to replicate a tool. ______70_____ These birds can see something and not just build it from memory, but potentially make improvements in their designs. “Most importantly,” the authors say in the study, “an improvement made by a crow during its life time could become part of the template learnt by subsequent generations, leading to an increase in tool com plexity over time.” And this progression is a key component of cultural progression.

Jelbert and her team recognize there’s still work to be done to see if their hypothesis is solid,

like testing how long the crows can remember their mental images of the tools.

B.Without it,we wouldn't be able to record knowledge or pass ideas from one generation to the next.

C.And while some pathways in our brains will weaken with the decline of handwriting,we'll develop new ones as we swipe（滑动）and double-click our way into the future.

D.With limited hours and an increased pressure to meet higher standards,teachers are emphasizing technology and tablets and less of the written word.

AB.It's not like seeing or talking,which are what we are born with.

AC.I suppose it's easy to grieve over the passing of one era（年代）into another.

Handwriting has existed for about 6,000 years.It's one of our most important inventions._67_

Most of us know,but often forget,that handwriting is not natural._68_In early America,only wealthy men and businessmen learned to write.A "good hand" became a sign of class and intelligence as well as morality.Most, meanwhile,signed legal documents with a mere 'X' and the presence of a witness.Writing only spread to the masses in the 19th century,after schools began teaching handwriting.

_69_—left-handed students often had their arm tied tightly to their bodies,so they'd learn to write with the “correct” hand.In more modern times,you may remember spending hours learning the correct stroke（笔画）, formation and spacing of upper-and lower-case letters.

But today,schools are shifting the focus to coursework in STEM—short for science,technology,engineering and mathematics._70_Technology has threatened writing long before every man,woman and child carried a phone.It came with the invention of the typewriter,which standardized written communication,and that same argument will reappear as technology advances.

I don't know if handwriting will ever die.But today,the growing emphasis on typing is having far-reaching effects.To get a glimpse of the future,just look at the youth.Instead of curly Qs or

crazy Ls,kids are using emoticons such as or to give a personal touch.

Typing is more democratic,too—it isn't a complicated skill to master.Keyboards are changing the physical connection between writers and text,and people who can't write by hand,like the blind,can now use tools to communicate only by touch.

Sure,I'll miss the writing of letters,and the beautiful and well-practiced signature written with a pen.write.

An old friendship had grown cold. Where once there had been closeness, there was only strain. Now pride kept me from picking up the phone.

Then one day I dropped in another old friend, who’s had a long _____31_____as a prime minister and counselor. We were seated in his study------surrounded by maybe a thousand books and fell in deep conversation about everything from small computers to the ____32_____life of Beethoven.

The subject finally turned to friendship and how______33_____it seems to be these days. I mentioned my own experience as an example. ‘’Relationship are mysteries,” my friend said, “Some endure. Others fall apart.”

Gazing out his window to the wooded Vermont hills, he pointed toward a neighboring farm,” Used to be a large barn over there. ‘Next to a red-frame house were the footings of what had been a _____34____structure.

“It was solidly bu ilt, probably in the 1870s. But like so many of the places around here, it went down because people left for richer lands in the Midwest. No one took any of the barn. Its roof needed _____35____; rainwater got under the caves and dripped down the posts and beams.”

One day a high wind came along, and the whole barn began to tremble. “You could hear this cracking,first, like old sailing –ship timbers, and then a sharp ____36______of cracks and a tremendous roaring sound. Suddenly it was a heap of scrap lumber.”

“After the storm blew over, I went down and saw these beautiful, old oak timbers, solid as could be. I asked the fellow who owns the places what had happened. He said he figured the rainwater had _____37____in the pinholes, where wooden dowels held the joints together. Once those pins were rotted, there was nothing to link the giant beams together.”

We both gazed down the hill. Now all that was left of the barn was its cellar and its border of lilac shrubs.

My friend said that he had turned the incident over and over in his mind, and finally came to recognize some parallels between building a friendship: no matter how strong you are, how notable your attainments, you have enduring significance only in your relationship to others.

“To make your life a ____38_______structure that will serve others and fulfill your own potential,” he said, “you have to remember that strength, however massive, can’t endure unless it has the interlocking support of others. Go it alone and you’ll ____39____tumble.”

“Relationships have to be cared for,” he added, “like the roof of a barn. Letters unwritten, thanks unsaid, confidences violated, quarrels unsettled-----all this acts like rainwater ____40_____into the pegs, weakening the link between the beams.”

My friend shook his head,“ It was a good barn. And it would have taken little to keep it good repair. Now it will probably never be rebuilt.”

Later that after noon, I got ready to leave. “You would like to borrow my phone to make a call, I don’t suppose?” he said.

“Yes,” I said, “ I think I would. Very much.”

violation seriously. Th e second thinks it’s not a big deal. Who has more power? _____67_____ Powerful people break the rules—therefore, breaking rules makes one seem more powerful.

“In its modest form, rule breaking is actually healthy,” says Zhen Zhang of Arizona State University. He found that relatively minor violations during adolescence—damaging property, playing hooky—predicted an admired occupation: entrepreneur.

When young men, in particular, take risks that succeed, testosterone levels surge. The hormone may underlie the “winner effect,” say researchers John Coates and Joe Herbert of the University of Cambridge, who tracked the hormonal activity of stock option traders (again, all male) over their good and bad days in the market._____68_____

But at a certain point, risk taking can become illogical. This can cause “ethical numbing(道德麻木).” Consider Steve Jobs: As Apple grew, so did lawsuits against it, like those over patents.

Being wealthy has a moral effect on both genders. Studies have found that the$150,000-plus-per-year set was four times as likely to cheat as those making less than $15,000 a year when playing a game to win $50. The rich didn’t stop for pedestrians at a crosswalk nearly as often as less-wealthy drivers. ______69_______That’s because environment—not personality—encourage rule breaking, argues Andy Yap, a behavioral scientist. Yap and his colleagues asked volunteers to sit in an SUV-size dr iver’s seat versus a crowded one or an executive-size office space versus a cubicle(小隔间) and then tested their responses to various moral evens. ______70_______

61. Parents need to watch the time their kids spend on computer or video games.

62. The effect of playing computer or video games on a child is different but it is there.

63. Computer or video games do affect children’s social development because they are not playing in reality.

64. If you have heard of online gaming, then you know video games can affect social development in a good way.

65. I’m living proof that computer or video games won’t do harm to kids.

A. For a lot of children, computers and video games are just an escape from reality, taking them away from real life for a while, replacing a stressful or boring environment with sights and sounds kids could only imagine before. They have the ability of entertaining people’s minds while drawing in the whole attention away from real life. So the result will be like this: whenever a child can’t handle problems in real life, he might just turn to com puter games.

B. Reading Tom Sawyer or Harry Porter is as personal an act as playing an online game or even more personal than playing an online or two-player game. I’ve rarely seen two p eople happily reading ONE book together. But when kids play online games they need to work together and it encourages the development of social skills.

C. Many results can occur from playing video games, from feeling abandoned and becoming addicted to getting better in touch with what other students are doing. The question here is whether or not video games affect a child’s development, not if it is good or bad. Anything that you interact with is going to have an effect on your development.

D. People blame the computer and videos, because it is an easy target to hit. If you really wanna look at people being lonely, look at the school system, where teachers could easily fix the problem by doing more group work with him/her choosing the students for the group. I mean, I could play outside by myself and still be lonely. There isn’t a difference.

E. I do believe our children’s development is affected by computers and video game play if too much time is spent because that’s time that a child used to be playing o utside with other children.

I think that some computer work is good because it trains the brain in new patterns, but time on the computer need to be limited and playing outside should be encouraged.

F. I am 6 feet 2 inches, 185 lbs, all muscle. I’m one of the most popular students and I’ve had a constant 30+ hours of video games since I was in third grade. I played baseball all my life until

high school, and still managed up to 40+ hours of video games. I am around the 80th position in my grade and have rec eived many honors. So it’s not necessary that computer games affect a kid’s development in a bad way. It simply depends on how much exactly one plays, and how one manages their time.

life, and it is frequently one of the hardest decisions we have to make. One important question that you might ask yourself is: “How do I get a good job?” ___67__.

There are people who can answer an insignificant advertisement in the local paper and land the best job in the world; others write to all sorts of places all over the country, and never seem to get a reply at all. Still others believe that the in person, door-to-door approach is by far the best way to get a job; and then there are those who, through no active decision of their own, just seem to be in the right place at the right time. ___68___. He used to spend a lot of his free time down by the sea watching the tall ships, but never thinking that he might one day sail one of them. His father was a farmer, and being a sailor could never be anything for the boy but an idle dream. One day, on his usual wandering, he heard the captain of the ship complaining that he could not sail because one member of his crew was sick.
