AA painting of a famous artist could cost several million dollars in the market. This is why many artworks —even those that are housed inside highly guarded museums—go missing. Here is a list of some of the most famous paintings that were lost, stolen or destroyed.-Vincent V an Gogh’s Poppy FlowersThis artwork was housed at the Mohammed Mahmoud Khalil Museum in Cairo. It was first lost in 1977, but was recovered 10 years after. The second time this same Vincent Van Gogh painting was stolen was in August of 2010. The painting is estimated(估价)to be worth something between $50 and $55 million.-Pablo Picasso’s Le Pigeon Aux PetitsStolen on May 20, 2010, this painting by Spanish painter Pablo Picasso is worth $28 million. It was stolen at the Museed’ Art Moderne de la Ville de Paris, along with five other artworks. However the thieves threw the painting away in a trashcan when they were caught. But that container was emptied before the authorities got there. It was feared that the painting was already destroyed.-Paul Cezanne 's View of Auvers Sur OiseLost on December 31 1990 this artwork that used to be on exhibition at the Ashmolean Museum in Oxford was stolen the night before the city’s Millennium celebration. The thieves planned the robbery in time with the fireworks exhibition during peak of the celebrations. This artwork is estimated to be worth $5 million.-Govert Flinck 's Landscape with an ObeliskStolen on March 8 1990 this artwork was at the Isabella Steward Gardner Museum in Boston.This painting by Govert Flinck was previously believed to be a Rembrandt creation. Ahuge cash reward of $5 million will be given to the person who can provide information leading to the recovery of the painting.21. In which of the following cities was Le Pigeon Aux Petits stolen?A. CairoB. ParisC. OxfordD. Boston22. Who was mistakenly thought to create Landscape with an Obelisk?A. Pablo Picasso.B. Paul CezanneC. Govert FlinckD. Rembrandt23. What can we infer about the four artworks mentioned in the text?A. They are given an approximate price.B. They are stolen when on exhibition.C. Some of them are lost nearly 30 years.D. Some of them have been found so far.BWilliam I, who conquered England some 930 years ago, had wealth, power and an army. Yet although William was very rich by the standard of his time, he had nothing like a flush toilet(抽水马桶)，or riding lawn mower(除草机). How did he get by?History books are filled with wealthy people who were poor compared to me. I have storm windows, Croesus did not. Entire nations trembled before Alexander the Great, but he couldn’t buy cat food. Czar Nicholas lacked an electric saw.Given how much better off I am than so many famous dead people, you’d think I’d be content. The trouble is that, like most people, I compare my wealth with that of living persons: neighbors, school classmates, famous TV people. The greed I feel toward my friend Howard’s new kitchen is not reduced by the fact no kings ever had a refrigerator with glass doors.There is really no rising or falling standard of living. Over the centuries people simply find different things to feel sad about. You’d think that simply not having disease would put us in a good mood, but no, we want a hot bath too.Of course, one way to achieve happiness would be to realize that even by today’s standards the things I own are pretty nice. My house is smaller than the houses of many investments bankers, but even so it has a lot more rooms than my wife and I can keep clean.Besides, to people looking back at our era from a century or two in the future, these bankers, fancy counter tops and my own worn Formica will seem equally shabby. I can’t keep up with my neighbors right now. But just wait.24. What does the un derlined phrase “get by” in the first paragraph mean?A. Succeed as a king.B. Deal with complaints.C. Live in a satisfactory way.D. Get some extra money.25. How many historical figures are mentioned to compare lives in the past and present?A. 3.B. 4.C. 5D. 626. According to the passage, the author intends to .A. tell us to be content with lifeB. warn us to live in a simple wayC. teach us to learn lessons from lifeD. encourage us to struggle for wealth27. What’s the author’s attitude towards life?A. Doubtful.B. Optimistic.C. Uncaring.D. Cautious.CThe evolution of fashion has changed our shopping habits. Fast fashion arrived, making stylish clothes more affordable. Then trend cycles sped up and shopping became a form of entertainment.However, fast fashion now faces a bottleneck. With decreased sales volumes and competition from H&M, Zara and The Gap in the Chinese market, US clothing brand Forever 21 announced it will fully withdraw(撤退) from China.Fast fashion may not be as popular as it once was, Discounts, clearance sales and closures clearly show that demand for fast fashion is getting worse. Research from Us-based fashion resale website Thredup points out that one in four women aged 18-25 plans to quit fast fashion in 2019. A major reason is to be more eco-friendly.On the one hand the constant demand for clothing puts enormous stress on land and water resources. Farming cotton for clothing ruins the soil, and pesticides are overused. So are harmful dyes, It makes the fashion industry the second largest polluter of clean water.On the other hand, fast production also means that more clothes are disposed(处置)quickly, which creates a huge amount of waste. Old clothes go to landfills (填埋场), which will further increase the pollution of soil and water.Fast fashion also puts incredible stress on workers. More than 1, 100 people died in a clothes factory collapse (崩溃)in Bangladesh six years ago. The collapse uncovered the bad situation of the workers. They worked overtime against their will. Some averaged up to 14 hours a day, making only $2(about 14 yuan). Furthermore, most of them were women with children to feed.British designer Vivienne Westwood once said, “Buy less, choose well, make it last.” Buyingis what makes the fashion world go round. It's time to start questioning fast fashion and see the true cost of those cheap T-shirts.28.

Sales volumes are decrease.D. There are many competitors in the Chinese market.29. Why does one in four women aged 18-25 plan to quit fast fashion?A. Because fast fashion may not be as popular as it once was.B. Because demand for fast fashion is getting worse.C. Because fast fashion is not so eco-friendly.D. Because stylish clothes are not affordable.30. How do fast fashion clothes pollute water?A. Pesticides are overused on the farm.B. Dyes are harmful and old clothes go to landfills.C.

From the last paragraph, we know that______________.A. we should buy cheap T-shirtsB. we should buy expensive clothesC. we should buy clothes that last longD. we can't throw away the cheap clothesDThe negative health effects of sleep shortages during the week can’ t be changed by marathon weekend sleep sessions, according to a new study.Researchers have long known that routine sleep deprivation（缺乏）can cause weight gain and increase other health risks, including diabetes. But there are still some people who hope that shutting off the alarm on Saturday and Sunday will repay the weekly sleep debt and remove any ill effects.The research, published in Current Biology, ruins those hopes. Despite complete freedom to sleep in and nap during a weekend recovery period, participants in a sleep laboratory who were limited to five hours of sleep on weekdays gained nearly three pounds over two weeksand experienced metabolic disruption（代谢紊乱）that would increase their risk for diabetes over the long term. While weekend recovery sleep had some benefits after a single week of insufficient sleep, those gains were wiped out when people returned right to their same sleep schedule the next Monday.“If there are benefits of catch-up sleep, they’ re gone when you go back to your routine. It’ s very short-lived,” said Kenneth Wright, who oversaw the research. “These health effects are long-term. It’ s kind of like smoking once was—people would smoke and wouldn’ t see an immediate effect on their health, but people will say now that smoking is not a healthy lifestyle choice. I think sleep is in the earl y phase of where smoking used to be.”Wright said that the study suggests people should prioritize sleep—cutting out the optional “sleep stealers” such as watching television shows or spending time on electronic devices. Even when people don’t have a c hoice about losing sleep due to child-care responsibilities or job schedules, they should think about prioritizing sleep in the same way they would think about a healthy diet or exercise.32. What had the researchers already known before doing the new research?A. The actual benefits of weekend recovery sleep.B. Harm to health caused by the lack of routine sleep.C. People’ s habit of shutting off the alarm during holidays.D. The relationship between body weight and sleep amount.33. Kenneth Wright mentioned smoking to _________.A. call on smokers to completely abandon smokingB. advise people to go to sleep when they want to smokeC. show people have known the harm brought by smokingD. show people will someday notice the bad effects of sleep deprivation34. What does the underlined word “prioritize” in the last paragraph probably mean?A. Putting tasks in order of importance.B. Getting more than enough of something to deposit it.C. Cutting down something that is not necessary any more.D. Treating something as being more important than others.35. What can be the best title for the text?A. Weekend catch-up sleep is a lie.B. Bad sleep habits are harmful to health.C. Smoking is not the worst thing to health.D. A new study has an unexpected discovery.第二节(共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分)根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。
