第二部分 阅读理解(共两节，满分50分)
第一节(共15题;每小题2.5分，满分37.5分)
阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。
A
The following 4 famous paintings — from Jan van Eyck’s portrait to Pablo Picasso’s masterpiece — have stood the test of time.
The Amolfini Portrait
Jan van Eyck’s Amolfini Portrait, an oil painting on wood produced in 1434, in which a man and a woman hold hands with a window behind him and a bed behind her, is undoubtedly one of the masterpieces in the National Gallery, London. This painting is as visually interesting as it is famed. It is also an informative document on fifteenth-century society, through van Eyck’s heavy use of symbolism — while husbands went out to engage in business, wives concerned themselves with domestic duties.
The Starry Night
Vincent van Gogh painted The Starry Night, oil on canvas (帆布), a moderately abstract landscape painting of an expressive night sky over a small hillside village, during his 12-month stay at the mental hospital near Saint–Remy-de-Provence, France between 1889 and 1890. When the Museum of Modem Art in New York City purchased the painting from a private collector in 1941, it was not well known, but it has since become one of van Gogh’s most famous works.
The Harvesters
The Harvesters is an oil painting on wood completed by Pieter Bruegel the Elder in 1565. It describes the harvest time which most commonly occurred within the months of August and September. Nicolaes Jonghelinck, a merchant banker and art collector from Antwerp, commissioned this painting. The painting has been at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City since 1919.
Guernica
Guernica, a large black-and-white oil painting, was painted by the Cubist Spanish painter, Pablo Picasso in 1937. The title ‘Guernica’ refers to the city that was bombed by Nazi planes during the Spanish Civil War. The painting depicts the horrors of war and as a result, has come to be an anti-war symbol and a reminder of the tragedies of war. Today, the painting is housed at the Museo Nacional Centro de Arte Reina Sofia in Madrid.
1. Which of the following paintings was produced earliest
A. Guernica. B. The Harvesters.
C. The Starry Night. D. The Amolfini Portrait.
2. Who created the painting describing the harvest seasons
A. Pieter Bruegel the Elder. B. Vincent van Gogh.
C. Jan van Eyck. D. Pablo Picasso.
3. What do we know about the painting The Starry Night
A. It was painted on wood in oils. B. It described the painter’s life in hospital.
C. It wasn’t widely recognized before 1941. D. It was given away to the museum by a collector.
B
Researchers at the University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center mapped brain changes after a year of aerobic workouts and uncovered a potentially significant process: Exercise increases blood flow into two key areas of the brain associated with memory.
The study published in the Journal of Alzheimer's Disease, showed this blood flow can help even older people with memory issues improve cognition, a finding that could guide future Alzheimer's disease research, according to UT Southwestern Medical Center.
In the study, researchers followed 30 participants who were 60 or older and had memory problems. Half experienced a year of aerobic exercise while the other half did stretches. “We've shown that even when your memory starts to fade, you can still do something about it by adding aerobic exercise to your lifestyle," said Binu Thomas, a senior research scientist of UT Southwestern Medical Center who led the study. "The aerobic exercise group showed a 47% improvement in some memory scores after a year; the other group showed slight change. Brain imaging of the aerobic exercise group, taken while at rest at the beginning and end of the study, showed increased blood flew into the specific brain areas that played important roles in memory function."
Many teams across the world are trying to determine if aerobic exercise might fight memory loss. Evidence is growing that it could at least play a small role in delaying or reducing the risk of Alzheimer's disease. For example, a 2018 study showed that people with lower fitness levels experienced faster retrogression of vital nerve fibers in the brain called white matter related to memory.
“Blood flow in the brain connected with memory improvement is still a part of the puzzle, and we need to continue piecing it together," Thomas says. "But we've seen enough date to know that starting a fitness program can have lifelong benefits for our brains as well as our hearts."
4. What is the study mainly about
A. Old people have memory issues. B. Exercise improves memory.
C. Aerobic workouts benefit mental health. D. Alzheimer's disease can be cured.
5. What happened to participants after one-year aerobic exercise
A. Earlier memories were refreshed. B. Memory scores showed very small change.
C Brain imaging remained the same. D. More blood flew into memory-related areas.
6. What does the underlined word “retrogression“ mean in the fourth paragraph
A. Growth. B. Recovery. C. Decline. D. Extension.
7. What can be inferred from the last paragraph
A. Further research work requires doing. B. More people experience memory loss.
C. Mystery of brain blood flow has been solved. D. Signs of memory loss can be discovered earlier.
C
A 12-year-old girl, Eleanor Woods, has created a green backpack that filters (过滤) out air pollution. Her innovative bag won the award of the “Backpack to the Future” competition.
The competition was launched to encourage students to combine an interest in fashion with a career in science, technology, engineering or maths.
Powered by green energy from solar power and a dynamo — a machine that converts mechanical energy into electrical energy — the backpack filters polluted air before fanning out cleaner air nearby
Air pollution was always Eleanor’s concern. Meanwhile, spending a lot of time with her asthmatic (患哮喘病的) mum, Eleanor especially focused on how pollution affects a person’s health and the spread of diseases. “We have an air filter at home because my mum has mild asthma. But what if she wants to go out It would be inconvenient and dangerous! My Breathe Better Backpack is about keeping those like my mother safe using an air filter. It looks cool and will help get them outside and fight off colds,” Eleanor said.
The girl added, “My generation has really realized pollution, and we have lessons on it at school. This is another reason why I designed this, because we need to do something.”
The Breathe Better Backpack came under the spotlight in the competition. Stratton Smith, one of the judges of the competition, said the impact of Eleanor’s design would be far-reaching. “If just a few people start using it, it can be really good for the planet,” he explained.
8. What do we know about the backpack
A. It collects polluted air.
B. It is powered by wind.
C. It is of practical use.
D. It sells well at present.
9. What inspired Eleanor Woods to design the backpack
A. The award of the competition.
B. High expenses of air filters.
C. Stratton Smith’s behaviour.
D. Her concern for air pollution.
10. Who will most probably benefit from the backpack
A. Students living in poverty.
B. Those suffering from asthma.
C. People working in an open way.
D. Judges worried about pollution.
11. Which of the following can best describe Eleanor Woods
A. Humorous and modest.
B. Ambitious and selfless.
C. Confident and fearless.
D. Creative and considerate.
D
When you bite into a loaf of bread, you’re eating a little slice of history, with roots that stretch back for millennia. But this basic and important food, which has dominated tables for thousands of years, is in a dangerous decline.
According to a study, 32 percent of the purchased bread is being dumped in the UK. And in France-a country whose breads are internationally well-known-young people are cutting 30 percent less than a decade ago.
Traditionally, bread has been a cornerstone of many cultures around the world. Wherever wheat was grown, bread was sure to follow. Its roles were just as varied as its origins. Bread could be used as an appetizer, a palate(味蕾)cleaner, a post-meal palate cleaner-even as an entire meal itself. As its popularity grew, so too did its symbolic value, Christianity adopted bread as are presentation of Christ during religious ceremonies. “Breaking bread” with someone became a common symbol of friendship. The French even used to bring baguettes(法棍面包)home as a symbol of love to the family.
But recently, the world’s love with bread came to fade. Some guess that the fast pace of modern life is changing people’s eating habits. Others believe it’s a reflection of health concerns. Bread is rich in complex carbobydrates(碳水化合物), a fact that could alienate anyone who practices a low-carbon or gluten-free(不含麸质物的)lifestyle.
The shift against bread is also associated with its mass production. Extra yeast(酵母)and additives are added to the dough, to extend its shelf life. In the process, bread ends up being blanched(变白)and nutritious stripped.
But dedicated bakers around the world have rushed forward to rescue bread’s good reputation. They say no to mass production-in-favor-of-baking-flavorful loaves the old-fashioned way. British baker Mark Newman is a good example. His loaves take up to 18 hours from start to finish. “In terms of nutrition and eating satisfaction a handmade loaf of real bread and mass-produced bread are completely different products.” he said. Artisanal bakers hope to build on the popular enthusiasm to grow their industry. With a little luck-and some fresh, whole grains-bread might return to its traditional glory.
12. From the traditional view, bread ______.
A. could be mass produced
B. was not used for religious purposes
C. symbolized some close relationships
D. could not be served before a big meal
13. In the mass prod action of bread, what’s the purpose of over using yeast and additives
A. To blanch bread. B. To help bread keep longer.
C. To speed the process of production. D. To make bread more nutritious.
14. What is the structure of the passage
A. ①②→③→④⑤→⑥ B. ①→②→③④→⑤⑥
C. ①②→③④→⑤→⑥ D. ①→②③→④⑤⑥
15. What is the main idea that the writer wants to convey
A. Bread is becoming less consumed.
B. Handmade bread enjoys great popularity nowadays.
C. Bread plays an important role throughout the world.
D. Bread has along history as main food dominating tables.

Desire Is Different from Wish
The last ray of sunlight sh one through the window. A small figure sat at the corner of the room surrounded by a cloud of misery (痛苦) as he had been forbidden to go out by his mother for a whole day but he didn’t make a serious mistake.
This young boy studied in the local school and dreamed to be an artist but his mother was against his dream. She thought the profession of artist couldn’t aid a person to meet his daily expenses. The boy didn’t want his mother to worry as he knew about the hard work his mother did in order to survive after his father died in an accident.
As each day passed his dream became more passionate and practiced more. One day the young boy wandered in the hill to gather inspiration from the nature. Then he stopped at a picturesque spot and watched those green grass at the bottom, but after a few seconds he fell asleep. In his dream he was creating a master piece of art that shook down the whole world. After some time he woke up and went back.
The following day he read about a painting competition that was being held in the town. He got the perfect opportunity to fulfill his desire but he didn’t have the courage to ask his mother for money to buy acrylic paints (丙烯颜料) and some brushes for the competition. In the evening when his mother returned from work, he saw that his mother had a few notes and that money would be enough for him to buy those materials.
The next morning before his mom woke up he quietly took the money and headed to the place where the competition was being held. As the competition began, he was quite nervous but he calmed down after a few seconds. He drew the place that he saw in his dream. He was so focused at his own work that he lost the track of time but he submitted his work just a couple of seconds before the end.
注意：
1.续写词数应为150左右；
2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
When he went back home, he was frightened to see his mother.

【答案】When he went back home he was frightened to see his mother. He dared not look at his mother as she was boiling with anger. His lips quivered and voice didn’t came out but somehow he managed to gather up the courage and told his mother the truth. His mother blamed him for wasting money to buy those useless things.
