In the 17th century, the Netherlands experienced a period of artistic prosperity known as the Dutch Golden Age. During this period, artists found inspiration in Northern Renaissance painting techniques, contributing to masterpieces like Girl with a Pearl Earring by Johannes Vermeer. Known as the “Mona Lisa of the North”, this painting represents the best of Dutch art and it has become one of art history’s most beloved paintings.
Dutch artist Johannes Vermeer is famous for his paintings of contemporary Delft, a city in Holland where the artist was born, lived and died. Girl with a Pearl Earring is Vermeer’s most well-known work of art. However, it did not attain international fame at its time of completion. That came about at the end of the 20th century, when it was featured in a special exhibition in Washington, D. C.
Girl with a Pearl Earring does not show a specific person. Instead, it shows an unknown girl dressed in grand clothing who, “l(fā)ike a vision coming from the darkness,” art historian Arthur K. Wheelock explained in the Johannes Vermeer catalogue, “belongs to no specific time or place.”
Vermeer is known for his ability to create shapes and forms using light rather than line. This characteristic approach to modeling is particularly evident in Girl with a Pearl Earring. First, he would “invent”, or create an initial drawing on the canvas. Then, he made a single colored underpainting. Next, he added color. And, finally, in order to make the piece extraordinarily bright, he would apply a thin layer of glaze to certain parts of the painting.
In addition to its fascinating context and appealing beauty, the piece is celebrated for the mystery that surrounds it. “When you think about the Mona Lisa, she is also looking at us, but she isn’t engaging—she’s sitting back in the painting, self-contained,” Tracy Chevalier, the author of the New York Times bestselling historical novel, Girl with a Pearl Earring, points out. “While Girl with a Pearl Earring is right there—there is nothing between her and us. She has this magical quality of being incredibly open and yet mysterious at the same time—and that is what makes her so appealing.”
4、What inspired the creation of Girl with a Pearl Earring?
A. Previous artists’ skills. B. The appearance of the girl.
C. Vermeer’s international fame. D. Encouragement from other artists.
5、What do we know about Girl with a Pearl Earring?
A. It is set in the artist’s birthplace.
B. It makes the artist famous overnight.
C. It describes a particular and exact girl.
D. It is regarded as a match for Mona Lisa.
6、What is the purpose of paragraph 4?
A. To introduce the subject of the painting.
B. To show techniques used in the painting.
C. To explain the artistic value of the painting.
D. To uncover the mystery behind the painting.
7、How does Tracy comment on Girl with a Pearl Earring?
A. By citing a theory. B. By giving a definition.
C. By offering an example. D. By making a comparison.
A new technology is going to ripe, one that could transform our daily lives, help to form new industries, even remove world economic powers from their present positions. Unlike the wave of industrialization that began in the West and spread later to the rest of the world, the new developments are taking place in research labs all over the globe—and Asians are in the forefront. Physicists are creating a new class of materials that display an amazing property unforeseen even two years ago—superconductivity.
Used today only in specialized equipment, super conductors have the potential to radically change most of the electrical and electronic appliances found in the home, making them smaller, more powerful and efficient. They could free our cities of pollution by replacing petrol and diesel vehicles with electric cars, and cut the cost of electricity. The new materials do something that even the best of conductors such as copper and silver cannot—they do away with all electrical resistance. The significances for energy storage are great.
The technology is in its early stage, still accessible to countries that decide to invest brains and money. For 75 years it had remained little more than a scientific curiosity with limited practical use because the phenomenon occurred only at extremely low temperatures. It was first observed in 1911 by a Dutch scientist named Heike Kamerlingh Onnes, who cooled mercury to temperatures below -269℃ with liquid helium. Then in January last year, two IBM scientists, K. Alex Muller and J. George Bednorz, found a metal oxide ceramic that superconducted at -243℃. Their report went largely unnoticed until last December, when it was confirmed at a scientific meeting in Boston. Today Japan, India, China and other Asian countries all have their share of experts who spend their days and nights in labs, acting as midwives to a new technology.
8、As is indicated in the passage, the technology of superconductivity ______.
A. has already been developed
B. is still under development
C. will be used only in specialized equipment
D. will be used in daily lives in a few years
9、The new technology differs from the others in that _______.
A. it began in the East and spread later to the rest of the world
B. it began in the West and spread later to the rest of the world
C. it is being cultivated in research labs around the world
D. it is accessible to physicists who are intelligent and rich
10、From the passage, we may conclude that _______.
A. Asian scientists gain the lead in the growth of the new technology
B. Dutch scientists kept reporting new findings for the last 75 years
C. IBM scientists’ report receive immediate attention all over the world
D. the West was astonished at the new technology developed by the Asians
11、Which of the following would be the best title for the passage?
A. The Prospect of a New Technology
B. Superconductivity: A New Technology
C. A New Technology: The Key to Change the Way of Our Lives
D. A New Technology: A Joint Effort of Many Countries
Wholesale prices for gas and electricity are increasing suddenly across Europe, raising the possibility of increases in already-high utility (公共事業(yè)) bills and further pain for people who have taken a financial hit from COVID-19.
Governments are struggling to find ways to limit costs to consumers as scant natural gas reserves present yet another potential problem, exposing the continent to even more price increases and possible shortages if it’s a cold winter.
In the U.K., many people will see their gas and electricity bills rise next month after the nation’s energy regulator approved a 12% price increase for those without contracts that lock in rates. Officials in Italy have warned that prices will increase by 40% for the quarter that will be billed in October.
There are multiple causes for the price increases, energy analysts say, including tight supplies of natural gas used to generate electricity, higher costs for permits to release carbon dioxide as part of Europe’s fight against climate change, and less supply from wind in some cases.
Analysts at S&P Global Platts say electricity prices have risen due to strong demand from places like data centers and electric cars, but above all because of the rise in the price of natural gas used in generating plants. Utility companies’ exposure to natural gas prices has increased as high-emission coal plants have been retired, while utilities face higher costs for carbon allowances required by the European Union’s emissions trading system, which is aimed at reducing emissions of greenhouse gases.
The tight gas market could bite even more sharply if there’s an unusually cold winter. That’s because European distributors did not refill reserves reduced during last winter as they typically had done in summer months. In March 2008, when the freeze named “the beast from the east” hit Europe, industrial users in the U.K got a notice that there was a risk of interruption, although it didn’t come to that.
Could Europe run out of gas? “The short answer is Yes, this is a real risk,” said James Huckstepp, an analyst at S&P Global Platts. “Storage stocks are at record lows and there isn’t currently any spare supply capacity that is exportable anywhere in the world. The longer answer is that it’s hard to predict how it will play out given that Europe has never run out of gas in two decades under the current distribution system.”
12、What does the underlined word “scant” in Paragraph 2 probably mean?
A. Total. B. Additional. C. Limited. D. Regular.
13、What has actually led to the rise of electricity prices?
A. The closure of some coal plants.
B. The great demand for electric cars.
C. The competition between utility companies.
D. The change in the emissions trading system.
14、Why could an unusually cold winter make the gas market tighter?
A. More natural gas will be needed for industrial use.
B. European distributors don’t make good preparations.
C. It is not easy to fill reserves during the cold weather.
D. Utility companies work can be easily interrupted.
15、What can we learn from James Huckstepp’s words in the last paragraph?
A. Europe is expected to seek help from other countries.
B. It is hard to control the gas price in Europe at present.
C. Europe might face a serious shortage of gas in the future.
D. There’s something wrong with Europe’s distribution system.
二、七選五
16、??? As the proverb goes, beauty is in the eye of the beholder. ①_______ A paper published two years ago in Nature found a connection between people’s sense of well-being and the scenicness (美景) of where they lived. The paper’s authors measured scenicness by conducting a survey among volunteers.
??? The connection, the paper’s authors found, held true whether a neighborhood was urban or rural. ②_______ Nor did levels of air pollution have any influence on it. The authors also discovered that differences in volunteers’ health were better explained by the scenicness of where they lived than by the amount of green space around them.
??? ③_______ The team behind that Nature paper have nevertheless decided to have a go. They have adapted a computer program to recognize beautiful landscapes, whether natural or artificial, using the criteria that a human beholder would employ. The program’s task was to work out, by analyzing each photograph’s features in the context of its Scenic-or-Not ratings, what it is that makes a landscape scenic.
??? Most of the results are not surprising. Lakes and horizons scored well. So did valleys and snowy mountains. In artificial landscapes, castles, churches and cottages were seen as scenic. ④_______ The analysis did, however, confirm one important finding from the team’s previous study, which is also a message for town planners. Green spaces alone are not scenic. To be so they need to involve contours (高低起伏的輪廓) and trees. ⑤_______
A.But surroundings matter.
B.Hospitals, garages and motels were not so much.
C.So people have a deep affection for where they live.
D.It bore no relation to volunteers’ social and economic status.
E.Therefore, less grass and more trees and bushes would be welcome.
F.Natural landscapes are rated as scenicness as opposed to artificial landscapes.
G.Determining what scenicness is, though, has always been frustrating for scientists.

34、閱讀下面材料,根據(jù)其內(nèi)容和所給段落開頭語續(xù)寫兩段,使之構(gòu)成一篇完整的短文。
When a tornado(龍卷風(fēng)) touched down in a small town nearby, many families were left completed ruined. Afterward all the local newspapers carried many human-interest stories featuring some of the families who suffered the hardest.
One Sunday, a particular picture especially touched me. A young woman stood in front of an entirely shattered(破碎的) mobile home, a depressed expression on her face. A young boy, seven or eight years old, stood at her side, eyes downward. Clutching(緊握) at her skirt was a tiny girl who stared into the camera, eyes wide with confusion and fear.
The article that went with the picture gave the clothing sizes of each family member. With growing interest, I noticed that their sizes closely matched ours. This would be a good opportunity to teach my children to help those less fortunate than themselves. I stuck the picture of the young family on our refrigerator, explaining their difficulty to my seven-year-old twins, Brad and Brett, and to three-year-old Meghan.
“These poor people now have nothing,” I said. “We’ll share what we have with them. I brought three large boxes down from the room upstairs and placed them on the living room floor. Meghan watched seriously, as the boys and I filled one of the boxes with canned goods and foods.
While I sorted through our clothes, I encouraged the boys to go through their toys and donate some of their less favorite things. Meghan watched quietly as the boys piled up old toys and games.
Meghan walked up with Lucy, her worn, much-loved rag doll hugged tightly to her chest. She came to the box that held the toys, pressed her round little face into Lucy's flat, painted-on-face, gave her a final kiss, then laid her gently on top of the other toys.
“Oh, Honey,” I said.” You don’t have to give Lucy. You love her so much.”
Meghan nodded seriously, eyes filled with held-back tears. "Lucy makes me happy, Mommy. Maybe she’ll make that other little girl happy, too.”
Paragraph. 1:
The boys had watched, open-mouthed,as their baby sister placed her favorite doll in the box.

Paragraph. 2:
I looked my children for a long moment.

解析:①推理判斷題。上文As the proverb goes , beauty is in the eye of the beholder.(俗話說,情人眼里出西施。)說明美感受觀察者的主觀感受影響。A項(xiàng)"But"表示與上文轉(zhuǎn)折,講的是環(huán)境也很重要,從而引出下文關(guān)于幸福感與環(huán)境之間的聯(lián)系的論文研究: "A paper published two years ago in Nature found a connection between people's sense of well-being and the scenicness (美景) of where they lived."(兩年前發(fā)表于《自然》的一篇論文發(fā)現(xiàn),人們的幸福感與他們所居住的地方的景色之間存在聯(lián)系。) A項(xiàng)符合文意。故選A項(xiàng)。
②推理判斷題。上文The connection , the paper's authors found , held true whether a neighborhood was urban or rural.(論文發(fā)現(xiàn),無論是在城市還是在農(nóng)村,這種聯(lián)系都是存在的。)說明無論地點(diǎn)在哪兒,幸福感和環(huán)境有關(guān)的聯(lián)系都是存在的;下文Nor did levels of air pollution have any influence on it.(空氣污染水平也不對其產(chǎn)生影響)說明與空氣污染水平無關(guān)。所以設(shè)空處.也是講的是影響人們幸福感的因素,而且由下文"Nor"可知設(shè)空處也是否定句。D項(xiàng)"It bore no relation to volunteers' social and economic status."(人們的幸福感和參與調(diào)查的志愿者的社會和經(jīng)濟(jì)地位無關(guān)。) 符合文意。故選D項(xiàng)。
③推理判斷題。下文The team behind that Nature paper have nevertheless decided to have a go.(盡管如此,該論文的團(tuán)隊(duì)還是決定做一番嘗試。)的"nevertheless"說明它與設(shè)空處之間是轉(zhuǎn)折關(guān)系,也就是說,該團(tuán)隊(duì)所嘗試的內(nèi)容是有難度的。再根據(jù)后面The program's task was to work out ,by analyzing each photograph's features in the context of its Scenic-or-Not ratings, what it is that makes a landscape scenic.(該項(xiàng)目的任務(wù)是,通過分析對應(yīng)不同美景等級的照片的特征,找出使風(fēng)景被視為美景的因素。)可知,團(tuán)隊(duì)嘗試分析景色被視為美景的因素。由此推知,設(shè)空處的內(nèi)容與給美景下定義讓人苦惱有關(guān),所以G項(xiàng)"Determining what scenicness is, though, has always been frustrating for scientists."(確定美景的概念讓科學(xué)家們感到沮喪。)符合文意,故選G項(xiàng)。
④推理判斷題。上文In artificial landscapes, castles, churches and cottages were seen as scenic.(人工景觀中,城堡、教堂和村舍被視為美景。)講的是有些人工景觀被評為美景。B項(xiàng)" Hospitals , garages and motels were not so much."講的是醫(yī)院、車庫和汽車旅館等另一些人工景觀的美景評分并不高。上文和設(shè)空處講的都是人工景觀的美景評級結(jié)果,由此引出下文的結(jié)論:The analysis did, however, confirm one important finding from the team's previous study, which is also a message for town planners. Green spaces alone are not scenic.(然而,該研究的確印證了團(tuán)隊(duì)先前的一項(xiàng)研究,該研究也給城市規(guī)劃師提供了建議。綠地自身不是美景)。故選B項(xiàng)。
⑤推理判斷題。上文Green spaces alone are not scenic. To be so they need to involve contours (高低起伏的輪廓) and trees.(綠地自身不是美景,要有高低起伏的輪廓和樹木。)說明要多種些樹、具有高低起伏的輪廓才算是風(fēng)景。E項(xiàng)對上文進(jìn)行補(bǔ)充,即少一些草地,多一些樹和灌木叢才受大家歡迎,符合文意。故選E項(xiàng)。

34、答案:
The boys had watched, open-mouthed, as their baby sister placed her favorite doll in the box. Without a word, Brad rose and went to his room. He came back carrying one of his favorite action figures. He hesitated briefly, clutching the toy, then looked over at Meghan and placed it in the box next to Lucy. A slow smile spread across Brett’s face. Then he jumped up, eyes twinkling as he ran to fetch some of his prized Matchbox cars. Astonished, I realized that the boys had also recognized what little Meghan’s gesture meant.
I looked at my children for a long moment. Swallowing back tears, I pulled all three of them into my arms. Inspired by my little ones, I removed my old jacket from the box of clothes. I replaced it with the new hunter green jacket that I had found on sale last week. I hoped the young woman in the picture would love it as much as I did. It’s easy to give what we don’t want any more, but harder to let go of things we cherish. However, the true spirit of giving is to give with your heart.
