【2题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第二段“studying topics, such as cultural respect and social responsibility, which will help them become worthy citizens(理解相关话题,比如说尊敬文化和社会责任,能帮助他们成为有价值的市民)”可知,“social responsibility(社会责任)”里可以指充当志愿者,故选含volunteering的图标,所以选择A。
Tod has what is called “savant syndrome'' — a condition in which a mentally challenged person has a tightly developed talent of a specific kind. Savant syndrome is a mystery to medical researchers. One person who is studying savant syndrome is Dr. David Brighton. He says that he has never seen a musical savant like Tod. Most musical savants are limited to simply repeating tunes they hear. Dr. Brighton points out that Tod's ability to come up with his own tunes is a giant step beyond memorization.

J. Santos has created a story across the globe.Bom in Brazil, Santos moved to Switzerland at the age of 18, and earned degrees in both music performance and business administration there. During his next 10 years of “intense” career as a professional musician, he spent most of his time on the road. “I had the honor to perform in the top concert halls in Europe,” Santos said. “It really wore me out to be constantly traveling and performing, but it allowed me to see the world and understand it in its full diversity. This was aunique experience, and I carry its benefits with me to this day”Through these experiences, Santos was able to become fluent in six languages. With these skills under his belt, Santos worked with his wife, who is also fluent in four languages, to develop a small translation business.“Running it with no prior business experience was a challenging but exciting learning-by-doing experience," Santos said. “In addition, the translation industry experienced a massive digital transformation in the last decade.”This brought Santos to an MBA/M.S. program in business analytic and information management, where he got rich experience, knowledge and perspectives in different industries. The program provided him with something he clearly enjoys in life: variety “It helped me take the most advantage of the translation industry's digital transformation. What I gained from the program is more than what I managed in the 15 years in Europe,” he added.As Santos continues to grow his business, he's also working as an advisor.“The world's digital transformation has advanced at high speed,” he said. “To me, it's very exciting to be a valuable resource to those who need help to jump onboard the digital express.”24. What did Santos think of his career as a musician?A.Stable but stressful.B.Tiring but rewarding.C.Unique and enjoyable.D.Demanding and fruitless.25.What drove Santos to take up the MBA/M.S. program?A.His strong desire for a Master's Degree.B.The challenge from starting a new business.C.His lack of education background in business.D.The demand for a learning-by-doing experience.26.What is paragraph 5 mainly about?A.The great variety Santos enjoys in life.B.The application of digital transformation.C.The benefits Santos got from the program.D. Santos's viewpoint on translation industry.27.In which aspect does Santos probably offer help as an advisor?A.Digital solutions.B.Business analysis.C.Translation skills.D.Resources management.COur planet quakes thousands of times a year, but we still can't predict exactly when and where earthquakes will strike. What if animals' odd behavior could warn us?Researchers have reviewed hundreds of reports on pre-packed abnormal animal behaviors, but more were just anecdotes. Geologist Jim Berkland counted newspaper ads looking for runaway cats and dogs. On October 13, 1989, he told a newspaper reporter a big quake would strike in a week. Four days later, the Loma Prieta mega-quake hit! But the scientific community still rejected Berkland's theory. He didn't document every prediction, so nobody could measure his accuracy rate.Actual scientific evidence has to be repeatable. And a connection between a cause and an effect has to be shown to be stronger than random chance through careful experimentation and data collection. California researchers in the 1970s happened to have built controlled habitats to monitor the wheel-running activity of pocket mice. These habitats happened to be in an active earthquake area. Then the 1971 San Fernando earthquake struck nearby. The researchers checked their data and found no big changes in how long the animals ran in their wheels or stayed underground before the earthquake activity. What might the next experiment show?Researchers from 150 universities worldwide are working on a new study called the ICARUS project. The project tracks many small animal species such as birds, bats, and turtles for the purpose of scientific research. One group of researchers is looking for possible connections between animal behavior and earthquakes. If they find a reliable connection, this could save hundreds of thousands of human lives. ICARUS aims to power an app that will give people hours to get to safety.However, not everyone is hopeful. Geologist Wendy Bohon said that ICARUS is doing some “cool things,” but she knows animal behavior is hard to pin down. “My cat could act crazy before an earthquake,” she says. “But it also acts crazy if somebody uses the can opener.”28.What does the underlined word “anecdotes” mean in paragraph 2?A.Real-life news stories.B.Random individual studies.C.Repeated scientific reports.D.Unproved personal accounts.29.Why was Berkland's theory rejected by the scientific community?A.He used unreliable data from newspaper ads.B.His document wasn't consistent with his theory.C.His study didn't include enough animal samples.D.He failed to prove the accuracy of his predictions.30.What is the ultimate goal of the ICARUS project?A.To provide accurate pre-quake warnings.B.To develop an app to call for help during quakes.C.To seek worldwide cooperations in quake prediction.D.To find connections between animal behaviors and quakes.31.What is Wendy Bohon's attitude towards the ICARUS project?A. Disapproving.B. Doubtful.C. Intolerant.D. UnclearDPieter Bruegel' s iconic 1565 painting The Harvesters hangs at the Metropolitan Museum of Art. The work showed people harvesting wheat nearly as tall as they were.“nowadays, however, if you walk through a wheat field, you basically see that wheat is about knee-height. The reduced height is essentially a consequence of breeding (培育)along with genes for increasingproduction to feed a growing population,” biologist De Smet explained.De Smet says wheat is just one example of how historical artwork can allow us to track the transformation of food crops over time. He teamed up with art historian Vergauwen, a friend since childhood, to document such artwork around the world. They have been mainly looking at things where they can spot changes in shape, color and size.Their interest in plants in artwork began with a visit to the Hermitage Museum, where they noticed an odd-looking watermelon in an early-17th-century painting. It appeared to be pale and white on the inside. Biologist De Smet assumed the painter had done a poor job. But art historian Vergauwen had a different idea. “No, this is one of the best painters ever from that era. So if he painted it like that, that's the way it must have looked like,” he explained.Other paintings revealed that both red and white watermelons were grown during the 17th century.“With all the genetic knowledge we now have, we can look in more detail how something comes about,”De Smet said. “For example, until the 18th century, European strawberries appeared tiny in paintings-they then grew in size as they were crossbred with North American varieties.”Ultimately, the team hopes to create an online research database of historical plant artwork. They seek the contributions of art enthusiasts around the world via the social media. “However,” Vergauwen reminds, “if you’re going to use, for example, Picasso to try and understand how a pear looked in the early 20th century, you might be misled.”32.What can we learn about the painting The Harvesters?A.It shows how people successfully grew wheat.B.It proves that wheat was much shorter in the past.C.It explains the consequence of different breeding methods.D.It gives clues about how wheat in the 16th century looked like.33.What inspired the research team to start their study?A.Their preference for food crops.B.Their friendship since childhood.C.Their divided views on an old painting.D.Their shared interest in Hermitage Museum.34.What is the message from Vergauwen in the last paragraph?A.Art enthusiasts are not careful enough.B.Abstract paintings often mislead people.C.The source paintings need to be realistic.D.Picasso's paintings are hard to understand.35.What is the purpose of the text?A.To comment on historical plant paintings.B. To tell interesting stories behind plant artwork.C.To inform readers of a scientific breakthrough.D. To introduce a study on food crop transformation.第二节(共5小题;每小题2.5分,满分12.5分)阅读下面短文,从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。

Participants showing imagination in a group discussion.BFor many, the term “orienteering”might bring back images of school trips.The reality of it can be very different, though,and it’s a sport with strong links to athletics.Kris Jones,a British international on the track, was also a silver medallist at the 2022 World Orienteering Championships.This July,I decided to explore the sport by joining in the Edinburgh “sprint orienteering” running through the famous city streets. The aim of the sport is to navigate(导航) between checkpoints marked on a special orienteering map.There is no set route so the skill and fun comefrom trying to find the best way to go,with the ultimate goal being to complete the course in the quickest time.As someone who is used to the convenience of using my phone for navigation, the idea of relying on a traditional map-and-compass approach felt daunting.However, once I got into the swing of things – and learned to hold a map the correct way –the excitement of navigating from one checkpoint to the next quickly got me moving.The unpredictable nature of the race and not knowing the whereabouts of other competitors, really does keep the rush of excitement flowing. You have no idea where you are going or what you are going to see until you pick up the map.I think the sport taking place in an open field of play is really exciting for people to watch. People can stand and watch athletes running across their doorstep. Different athletes will be following different routes. It’s never like a marathon where you might see one athlete a minute ahead in front and you know they are going to win.For orienteering to grow as a sport, it needs greater visibility in top class events. A distant past argument is that it is not an audience-friendly sport, but modern technology now shakes that belief. With the use of mobile phones, drones and body cameras,orienteering can be enjoyed by a much wider audience.24. Why does the author mention Kris Jones in paragraph1?A. To prove orienteering is very popular.B. To show the sport is physically demanding.C. To introduce the achievement of the athlete.D. To emphasise the benefits of taking up orienteering.25. What does the underlined word “daunting” in paragraph 3 mean?A. Challenging.B. Familiar.C. Exciting.D. Convenient.26. What makes orienteering different from a marathon to the audience?A. The phone for navigation.B. The uncertainty of the result.C. The set routine through a city.D. The visibility of runners ’ positions.27. What does the last paragraph imply?A. The running routes should be designed to vary.B. Orienteering is bound to be a world-class event.C. Orienteering is actually an audience-friendly sport.D. Technology can be adopted to popularize the game.CMany cities around the world get more rain than their surroundings.“Just like the way you have an urban heat island, you have an urban rainfall effect,”says Dev Niyogi at the University of Texas at Austin.Niyogi and his colleagues looked at satellite data on rainfall between 2001 and2020 in 1056 cities and nearby rural areas across different climate regions. They found that more than 60 percent of cities were “wet islands”, while some other cities were “dry islands” . For example, Ho Chi Minh City and Sydney were among the wettest anomalies(反常),each with over100millimetres more rainfall than their surroundings per year.Seattle and Rio de Janeiro were among the 10 driest.Cities can boost or reduce rainfall in several ways. Heat absorbed by asphalt (沥青黄沙混合物) and buildings can cause updrafts that help rain clouds to form.The “roughness” of buildings can slow weather systems so they rain over urban areas for longer.Air pollution can seed clouds, although it can also reduce rainfall by cooling the air.Paved surfaces with little vegetation can reduce evaporation, leading to less damp in the air.The influence of these factors varies based on the size and location of cities.The team found larger, more populous cities were more likely to be wet islands.Cities in temperate, tropical and coastal regions tended to have the largest anomalies,while those in mountainous areas generally saw smaller differences.They also found the average difference between wet islands and their surroundings almost doubled over the study period,from 37 to62 millimetres more rainfall per year.Dry anomalies didn’t change. Niyogi says this is because of rapid urbanization combined with warming temperatures due to climate change, which increases the amount of water vapour in the air.Current weather and climate models don’t fully account for the influence of cities on rain. But Niyogi says it may eventually be possible for city planners to consider how their decisions affect rainfall.28. What is “wet island”in the study?A. Rural areas that flood frequently with rains.B. Climate regions along the tropical and coastal areas.C. Cities flooded because of rains in their surroundings.D. Urban areas that saw more rains than their surroundings.29. Which of the following is related to rainfall reduction?A. Asphalt and rough buildings.B. Strong updrafts.C. Paved surface with little vegetation.D. Heated air flow.30. What can be inferred from the research findings?A. Dry anomalies are not easy to change.B. Urban rainfall effects are increasingly serious.C. Mountainous areas do not have rainfall problems.D. Climate change is the main concern in urban rainfall control.31. What is a suitable title for the text?A. Cities are Becoming Victims of Global WarmingB. Development Turns Most Cities into “Wet Islands”C. Country Life Downplays the Harm ofUrban RainfallD. More Rain or Less Rain: It Depends on How Green our Life IsDWho are your best friends on campus? Are they the ones you encountered most often in class? Are they your fellows in drama club or debate society?Something that has to influence whether people become friends is simple physical proximity. And, in fact, the most lasting friendships are developed between people whose paths cross frequently.A number of studies have demonstrated the effects of proximity on who become friends. One was conducted at MIT in the 1940s. The incoming students were randomly assigned to 17 ten-unit apartment buildings that were isolated from other residential areas, and few of them knew one another beforehand.The investigators asked each resident to name the three people in the student housing project with whom they socialized most often. The effect of proximity was striking: two-thirds of those listed as friends lived in the same building as the respondent, even though those in the same building represented only 5 percent of the target residents.More striking still was the pattern of friendships within each building.Even though the physical distance between apartments was quite small—19 feet between the doorways of neighboring apartments and89 feet between those at the ends of each hallway—41 percent of those living in neighboring apartments listed each other as friends, compared with only 10 percent of those living at opposite ends of the hallway.Proximity leads to friendship because it facilitates chance encounters. If so, then pure physical distance should matter less than functional distance—the influence of an architectural layout to encourage or discourage contact between people. The MIT study shows just how important functional distance is. As the following Figure indicates, the stairs are positioned such that upstairs residents will encounter the occupants of apartments at the turn of the stairs much more often than the occupants of the middle apartments. And in fact, the residents of the two stair-end apartment formed twice as many friendships with their upstairs neighbors as those living in the middle apartments.高三英语试卷第 5 页(共10页)Figure of the MIT StudyThus, it’s functional distance more than physical distance that is decisive. Proximity promotes friendship because it brings people together. Actually, in later studies involving more diverse populations, the largest effects of proximity on friendship formation have been found between people of different races, ages, or social classes.32. What can be concluded from the MIT study?A. Friends play an important role in one’s daily life.B. Frequency of encounters decides the living distance.C. People with shared interests are more likely to befriends.D. The more often two people meet, the closer their relationship is.33. What method did the MIT researchers employ in their study?A. Case study.B. Recording analysis.C. In-lab observation.D. Online questionnaire.34. Which apartment’s residents in the Figure above may make most friends in the building?A. Apartment1.B. Apartment 2.C. Apartment 6.D. Apartment 7.35. Why did researchers carry out later studies?A. Previous study results are contradictory.B. Previous study methods lack scientific support.C. The sample in the previous study is not representative.D. The data in the previous study are not up-to-date enough.第二节七选五(共5 小题;每小题2.5 分,满分12.5 分。

Valid student ID card.BWhen Allen invited me on a camping trip to the mountains, I imagined a wooden cabin overlooking a lake, with a warm fireplace, hot cocoa, and soft beds. But my happy image became a nightmare when Allen and his older brother, Leo, showed up with a truck filled with camping equipments --- tents, sleeping bags, and water bottles. We were going on survival training!The ever-efficient Leo was keen to leave the city behind us and urges us to hurry. Several hours later, as we drove through the forest, the mountains seemed bigger than I remembered; the trees were larger, and the environment felt more threatening.At the trailhead, Leo tied a sleeping bag onto my already heavy pack and lectured Allen and me about hiking rules. Then, with Leo in the lead, we set off along the narrow and steep dirt track that wound up the mountain.After 6 hours of climbing, we finally reached the top. My legs aching, I dropped my pack and groaned but there was no time to rest. “We need to set up camp quickly,” said Leo. “There are dark clouds coming in. A storm’s on its way.”I thought he was kidding, but Leo was quite serious. He and Allen worked expertly, while I stood around and pretended to help, thunder rumbling in the distance. We just finished putting up the tents when it hit. The wind, thunder, and lightning were relentless.Leo, sensing that I was scared, started telling us some stories about his camping adventures. But each time lightning lit up the tent and the thunder echoed, I jumped. “Don’t worry. Summer storms pass quickly,”Leo said trying to comfort me. “And at least the rain will keep the bears away,” he said with a teasing smile, which was less comforting.And just as quickly as the storm came rushing in, it passed, and we exited the tent. The view was incredible --- I could see for miles. As darkness set in, I stared in wonder at the millions of glowing stars in the night sky.I won’t lie --- I was still wishing for a hot shower and a soft bed, but as I gazed upward at the Milky Way, I knew this was an adventure I would never forget.24.Why was the author surprised when Allen came to get him at the beginning of the story?A.Allen had arrived earlier than arranged.B.He saw that Allen was not well prepared.C.He realized their trip would be challenging.D.Allen’s brother was unexpectedly with him.25.Why was it necessary to set up camp immediately after reaching the mountain top?A.It was almost night time.B.The weather was changing.C.They were tired and needed to rest.D.They needed protection from animals.26.What can we guess about Leo?A.He was an experienced and capable hiker.B.He was inconsiderate of other’s feeling.C.He had known the writer for a long time.D.He had not been to this mountain before.27.How did the author feel at the end of the story?A.Satisfied.B. Optimistic.C. Scared.D. Disappointed.CSleep, considered a luxury by many, is essential for a person’s wellbeing. Researchers have found that insufficient sleep and tiredness increase a person’s risk of developing severe medicalconditions, such as obesity (being very overweight), high blood sugar levels, and heart disease. Now, a new study has found that getting sufficient sleep is also the key to improving academic performance.Jeffrey Gross, the university science professor who led the research, was not trying to find the relationship between sleep and grades when he handed out smartwatches to the 100 students in his chemistry class. Instead, the professor hoped the wrist-worn devices, which track a person’s physical activity, would show a connection between exercise and academic achievement.While Gross’s data showed no relationship between these two factors, the study found something surprising. As the researchers were analyzing their data, they noticed that there was a straight-line relationship between the average amount of sleep a student got and their results in the course’s 11 quizzes, three midterm tests, and the final exam.Even more interesting, it was not sufficient for students to just head to bed early the night before a test. Instead, it’s the sleep you get during the days when learning is happening that matters most.The time students went to bed each night was similarly important. Those who went to bed in the early hours of the morning performed poorly, even if the total sleep time was the same as a higher-performing student. “When you go to bed matters,” Gross says. “If you go to bed at 10, or 12, or 1 at night, and sleep for seven hours, your performance is the same. But if you go to bed after 2, your performance starts to down even if you get the same seven hours. So, quantity isn’t everything.”Perhaps most interesting was the huge impact that small differences in sleep patterns had on the students’ grades. The overall course grades for students averaging six and a half hours of sleep each night were 25% lower than students who averaged just one hour more sleep. Similarly, students who varied their bedtime by even one hour each night had grades that dropped 45% below those with more regular bedtimes.Who knew getting A’s just required some extra ZZZ’s?28.Based on his original objectives, which best describes Professor Gross’s research findings?A.Accidental.B. Complete.C. Convincing.D. Doubtful.29.Who were the people taking part in the study?A.Middle school chemistry students.B.V olunteers from different universities.C.Professor Gross’s own students.D.University student athletes.30.How did Professor Gross’s team measure academic performance?A.Making the students wear a special watch.ing students’ university entrance test results.C.Giving the students regular after class quizzes.ing the students’ normal test and quiz grades.31.Based on the study’s findings, who is likely to perform best academically?A.A person who has a good night’s sleep the night before an important test.B.A person whose normal bedtime varies between 9 p.m. and 12 p.m.C.A person who sleeps from 11 p.m. to 6 a.m. each day.D.A person who sleeps for a total of 7 hours each night.DHow affordable is high culture? One great myth of our time is that tickets for opera, theatre, ballet and orchestral (管弦乐) concerts are too expensive, especially for the young. This is infuriating as, in Britain, at least, the claim is ridiculous and offensive. The cheap tickets to hear London’s orchestras range from £ 7 to £ 9 --- same as a cinema ticket, and lower than the entry price to many pop music and comedy clubs. For comparison, when the Los Angeles Philharmonic Orchestra performs with top soloists and conductors the cheapest seat is £ 30; and at the Berlin Philharmonic it’s an expensive £ 46.Finding cheap tickets to the opera and ballet isn’t so easy. True, British companies don’t charge the ridiculously high prices found on the Continent (£ 2000 for a good seat at the premiere of La Scala’s Carmen last December), but the tickets are still pretty steep. Large fees paid to star performers mostly account for that. Luckily, however, one spectacular technological innovation has transformed the scene. It’s live (or slightly delayed) cinema transmissions. The New York Metropolitan Opera now beams its shows to 800 cinemas round the world, and British companies aren’t far behind. Cinematic opera is excellent value. For the cost of a good bottle of wine (£ 10 or £15 for the Royal Opera House’s shows) you can sit in your local movie-house and see ahigh-definition relay of what’s occurring on the world’s grandest stages. No, it’s not the same as being there, but it’s almost as good. The sound is incredible. The images, particularly of dancers, are fantastic. And you can react to the show as part of a live audience, rather than sitting on your own at home.To me, this mountain of evidence, together with free museum admissions, indicates that the arts world should stop worrying that its audiences are still mostly middle-class. Anyone who can afford to visit a pub can also afford to see top-quality drama, music and dance. The real battle now should be ensuring that schoolchildren are given enough tastes of high culture to make them want to buy all those cheap tickets when they grow up.32.What does the underlined word “infuriating” in paragraph 1 mean?A.Quite interesting.B. Very annoying.C. Not certain.D. Extremely obvious.33.What is the main reason for expensive opera tickets?A.The amount of money charged by top performers.B.The costly technology required for broadcast.C.The demand of companies for big profits.D.The high cost of renting the stages.34.Which of the following is true about cinematic opera?A.People can decide where to watch the opera.B.Audiences are discouraged from responding to the performances.C.It provides an inexpensive way of enjoying a live opera performance.D.The sound and visual quality are superior to the live performance.35.Which statement would the author agree with?A.The quality of opera performances is improving.B.High culture is becoming more affordable in Europe.C.The cost of access to high culture activities should be lowered.D.Children should be encouraged to participate in high culture events.第二节(共5小题;每小题2分,满分10分)Learning to understand spoken English can be difficult. Learners must not only master newsounds, but also learn conversational idioms. That’s a lot to learn! But they may soon realize there is something else going on. ____36____ These different styles of speaking are called “registers”. In their work, language experts identify three major factors that affect the register of spoken English: the place of the conversation, the relationship of the speakers, and the purpose of the conversation.____37____ Even two best friends who work and live together may speak more formally to each other in the office. At home, one might say, “C’mon, I wanna leave.” The same person at work might say, “Are you ready to go now?”The relationship of the speakers also affects the language they use with each other. People speak less formally to friends and more formally to strangers. ____38____ People who know each other well might use more idioms and more slang in their speech. An angry woman might tell her daughter to “hush your mouth” and her sister to “quiet down”.Finally, the purpose of the conversation affects people’s speech. A person who wants to ease hurt feelings uses a soft, quiet tone. ____39____Few speakers realize that they change registers according to these factors. ____40____ We are not aware that we make these changes. We accept the changeability of the weather, but we often refuse to accept the changeability of speech.A.In fact, most people strongly deny it.B.People generally speak less at work than they do at home.C.The very same person speaks differently in different situations.D.Therefore, we should be careful not to hurt each other with our speech.E.On the other hand, a person who wants to pick a fight speaks rapidly and loudly.F.The place where the conversation takes place directly affects the language of the conversation.G.Becuase they already share information and experience with friends, they do not need to explain as much.第三部分英语知识运用(共两节,满分45分)第一节(共20小题;每小题1.5分,满分30分)Have you ever heard someone say that he can’t see the forest for the trees?

Bus and Boat.C. Sightseeing.D. Student tickets.24. What is needed if you want to buy a student ticket?When Allen invited me on a camping trip to the mountains, I imagined a wooden cabin overlooking a lake, with a warm fireplace, hot cocoa, and soft beds. But my happy image became a nightmare when Allen and his older brother, Leo, showed up with a truck filled with camping equipment—tents, sleeping bags, and water bottles, We were going on survival training!The ever-efficient Leo was keen to leave the city behind us and urged us to hurry. Several hours later, as we drove through the forest, the mountains seemed bigger than I remembered; the trees were larger, and the environment felt more threatening.At the trailhead, Leo tied a sleeping bag onto my already heavy pack and lectured Allen and me about hiking rules. Then, with Leo in the lead, we set off along the narrow and steep dirt track that wound up the mountain.After 6 hours of climbing, we finally reached the top. My legs aching, I dropped my pack and groaned but there was no time to rest. "We need to set up camp quickly," said Leo." There are dark clouds coming in. A storms on its way."I thought he was kidding, but Leo was quite serious. He and Allen worked expertly, while I stood around and pretended to help, thunder rumbling in the distance. We just finished putting up the tents when it hit. The wind, thunder, and lightning were relentless.Leo, sensing that I was scared, started telling us some stories about his camping adventures. But each time lightning lit up the tent and the thunder echoed, I jumped. "Don't worry. Summer storms pass quickly," Leo said trying to comfort me. "And at least the rain will keep the bears away," he said with a teasing smile, which was less comforting.And just as quickly as the storm came rushing in, it passed, and we exited the tent.

At the day’s end, the pair entered a small coffee shop to rest. Mr. Marcus could see the disappointment on Adriana’s face and, as a woman came to take their order, said, “Don't worry. We’ll find somewhere to show your art.” On hearing this, the woman said, “Did you say art? You know we show local artists’ works right here in the café,” pointing to the paintings hanging on the walls. “Bring a few of your pieces around tomorrow for me to look at. I’m Susan by the way, the owner.” After thanking Susan for her offer, Adriana and Mr. Marcus left the cafe in amazement.

The subject of what separates art and design has been debated for a long time. Artists and designers both create visual works using a/an 1 knowledge background, but their reasons for doing so are 2 different. Some designers consider themselves artists, but few artists consider themselves 3 .So what exactly is the difference between art and design? Perhaps the most fundamental difference that we can all agree on is their 4 . Typically, the process of creating a work of art starts with nothing, a blank sheet of paper. A 5 of art is born from a view or value that the artist holds within himself or herself. They create the art to share that feeling with others, to 6the viewers to relate to it, learn from it or be 7 by it. The most renowned and successful art today is something that establishes the strongest 8 connection between the artist and their9 .By contrast, when a designer sets out to 10 a new piece, they almost always have a11 starting point, whether a message, an image, an idea or an action. The designer’s job isn’t to invent something 12 , but to communicate something that already exists, for a purpose. That purpose is almost always to motivate the audience to do something: buy a product, use a13 , visit a location, or learn certain information.

Viennese-born composer Frederick Loewe, 16 we remember from his classical musicals including “My Fair Lady” and “Camelot”, was not always famous. He studied piano with the great masters of Europe and achieved huge success as a 17 (music) and composer in his early years. But 18 he immigrated to the United States, he failed as a pianist. For a while he tried other types of work including gold mining and boxing. 19 he never gave up his dream and continued to play the piano and write music.20 those difficult years, he could not always afford 21 (make) payments on his piano. One day, bent over the keyboard, he could hear nothing but the music that he played with such rare inspiration. When he finished and looked up, he was astonished to find that he had 22 audience of three moving men who 23 (seat) on the floor.They said nothing and made no movement toward the piano.

AHeading off to college this year? Here are some fashion tips from our experts you should keep in mind:Dress to impress: Stylist and business consultant Daniela Smith says, “Girls should keep in mind that your college professors will often be the bridge that connects you to your future career and your classmates will become your professional network. You don’t need to dress like you’re going to the office, but you should display an ability to properly present yourself with appropriate maturity and confidence, and look put together.”Logo mania (品牌狂热症): Wearing the logos of brands aimed at younger customers physically identifies you as part of that age group, so consider the targeted age group of the stores you shopat. It’s tempting to load up on logos, espec ially well-known logos that signify high-end brands. But consider this: college is a time of self-discovery, a chance to develop your own personal style. Instead of wearing logos head to toe, “walking advertisement”-style, why not express who you really are?Wear real pants! The combination of leggings and baggy shirts is all too common on college campuses. Smith points out that leggings, yoga pants, and sweatpants are entirely unacceptable in public unless you’re exercising. Although leggings worn as pan ts are a common trend among high school and college girls, they are not an appropriate choice for daywear. As a young woman, your style choice should begin to reflect your maturity level. So, get rid of leggings and wear real pants!Keep the cute factor to a minimum: Stay away from sweaters and T-shirts with smiling animals, cartoon characters, or Hello Kitty on them. Sure, kittens might be cute, but they’re not doing you any favors in the style department. Dressing too cutesy can take years off your look, and not necessarily in a good way!26. The second paragraph indicates the importance of ________.A. impressing professorsB. getting on well with classmatesC. creating a professional imageD. dressing appropriately27. The author believes that college girls should ________.A. choose a logo that suits their ageB. try to load up on well-known logosC. use logos to show who they areD. find their identity by trying different logos28. The author recommends wearing real pants because ________.A. leggings and baggy shirts are too commonB. yoga pants and sweatpants are not as comfortableC. real pants can present you with appropriate maturityD. people like real pants better than the other pants29.

Travel & Leisure.BA 33-year-old financial analyst in California recently quit his job to devote himself to an unpaid job teaching math on the Internet, and his lessons are reaching almost 100,000 people a month. Salman Khan’s voice is heard every day on the net --- by tens of thousands of students around the world who are hungry for help learning math. He has posted 1,200 lessons on YouTube ... lessons that appear on an electronic blackboard, which range from basic addition to advanced mathematics for science and finance. And they are free.Khan lives in Silicon Valley, with his wife, a doctor, and their new baby. He got the idea for his “KhanAcademy” four years ago, when he taught a young cousin how to convert kilograms to grams. With Khan’s help, the cousin got good at math, and Khan began a new career.Now, Khan records his lessons himself, but he never goes on camera. “It feels like my voice in their head. Y ou’re looking at it and it feels like someone’s over your shoulder talking in your ear, as opposed to someone at the blackboard, which is distant from you,” he said.When SpringfieldHigh School in Palo Alto, California invited Khan to speak in person --- he immediately connected to the students there.The idea of short lessons that can be played over and over again attracted high school senior Bridget Meaney. She says she had trouble with math in the seventh grade. “I think the teachers are good, but they can’t teach at a speed that’s perfect for everyone,” she said. “I like the idea of learning something in class but then going back and pressing pause or rewind and actually getting a deeper understanding of it.”Originally, Khan kept his lessons short because of YouTube restrictions. Now, he thinks short is better. “Education researchers now tell me that 10 minutes is how long someone can have a high level of concentration. And anything beyond that and your brain switches off,” he said.For Khan, teachin g math, science, and finance is just the beginning. He says he’s ready to expand his YouTube site to include other subjects as well.31. What gave Khan the idea of teaching math online?A. His success in helping his cousin learn math.B.

Someone --- specifically the father-daughter team of Larry and Meagan Johnson --- has figured out that on some American job sites, five generations are working side by side.In their new book about generations in the workplace the pair argue that while such an age difference adds a lot of texture and a variety of life experiences, it can also bring tensions and conflicts.The Johnsons are human-resource trainers and public speakers. Dad Larry is a former health-care executive; daughter Meagan is a onetime high-level sales manager.Here are the oldest and youngest of the five generations they identify:They call the oldest group Traditionals, born before 1945. They were heavily influenced by the lessons of the Great Depression and World War Two. They respect authority, set a high standard of workmanship, and communicate easily and confidently. But they’re also stubbornly independent. They want their opinions heard.At the other extreme are what the Johnsons call Lin ksters, born after 1995 into today’s more complicated, multi-media world. They live and breathe technology and are often social activists. You won’t find many 15-year olds in the offices of large companies, except as volunteers, of course, but quite old and quite young workers do come together in sales environments like bike shops and ice-cream stores.The Johnsons, Larry and Meagan, represent a generation gap themselves in their work with jobsite issues. The Johnsons’ point is that as the average lifes pan continues to rise and retirement dates get delayed because of the tight economy, people of different generations are working side by side, more often bringing with them very different ideas about company loyalty and work values.The five generations are heavily influenced by quite different events, social trends, and the cultural phenomena of their times. Their experiences shape their behavior and make it difficult, sometimes, for managers to achieve a strong and efficient workplace.Larry and Meaga n Johnson discuss all this in greater detail in a new book, “Generations, Inc.: From Boomers to Linksters --- Managing the Friction Between Generations at Work,” published by Amacom Press, which is available in all good bookstore from this Friday.36.

From his coat he withdrew a make-up kit, a lipstick and two tubes of toothpaste.“I’m disappointed in you, Alfred!” said the little gray-haired man.“Sorry, sir. Please forgive me. It’s the first time I’ve ever done such a thing,” Alfred lied, hoping to gain the old man’s sympathy.Mr Carr’s brow furrowed as he reached for the phone, “Do you take me for a fool? Let’s see what the police have to say. But first I’ll call your mother and let her know her son is headin g to jail.”“Do whatever you want,” Alfred shot back, trying to sound big. But deep down he felt like a child. He imagined his mother rushing in, eyes burning with anger, maybe in tears. Yet he wanted her to come quickly before Mr. Carr called the police.Mr. Carr was surprised when Mrs Higgins finally arrived. She was very calm, quiet and friendly. “Is Alfred in trouble?” she asked.“He’s been stealing from the store,” the old man coolly replied.Mrs. Higgins put out her hand and touched Mr. Carr’s arm with great gentleness as if she knew just how he felt. She spoke as if she did not want to cause him any more trouble. “What do you want to do, Mr. Carr?”The woman’s calm and gentle manner disarmed the once-angry store-owner. “I was going to get a cop. But I don’t want to be cruel. Tell your son not to come back here again, and I’ll let it go.” Then he warmly shook Mrs. Higgins’s hand.Mrs. Higgins thanked the old man for his kindness, then mother and son left. They walked along the street in silence. When they arrived home his mother simply said, “Go to bed, you fool.”In his bedroom, Alfred heard his mother in the kitchen. He felt no shame, only pride in his mother’s actions. “She was smooth!” he thought. He went to the kitchen to tell her how great she was, but was shocked by what he saw.His mother’s face looked frightened, broken. Not the cool, bright face he saw earlier. Her lips moved nervously. She looked very old. There were tears in her eyes.This picture of his mother made him want to cry. He felt his youth ending.
