A painting discovered in a basement, once waved aside as worthless, is now recognized as a genuine Picasso, potentially worth millions.
In the 1950s, Luigi Lo Rosso, a pawnbroker on the Italian island of Capri, found the artwork in the basement of an abandoned villa. Convinced it was a treasure, he framed it cheaply and gave it to his wife. She was unimpressed and even washed the artwork alongside another dusty piece as if cleaning a carpet. For decades, the painting hung unnoticed in the family home and later in a restaurant, its true value unrecognized.
Luigi’s son, Andrea, wasn’t born when the painting was found, but a revelation during his college years changed everything. He came across an image in an art history textbook that bore a striking similarity to the family painting. It featured Dora Maar and noted Picasso’s presence on Capri during that era. Returning home, Andrea began a mission to uncover the truth.
Andrea’s persistence lasted decades. By treating the painting as potentially stolen, he registered it with Italy’s patrimony (遗产) police, ensuring in-depth examination. Locked in a Milan police storage room until 2019, the painting was eventually examined by Cinzia Altieri, who found Picasso’s signature in the corner to be true. Art expert Luca Gentile Canal Marcante also confirmed its genuineness, valuing it at $6 million, a figure that could double or triple if the Picasso Foundation in Paris officially recognizes it.
Andrea remains cautious yet hopeful, “I’m happy, but let’s wait to toast,” he said. For now, he continues his father’s dream, aiming for the final seal of approval that could mark the painting’s incredible journey complete.
24. What did Luigi’s wife do to the painting
A. She tried to figure out its worth.
B. She had it framed and displayed it.
C. She cleaned the painting like a carpet.
D. She sold it as she thought it had no value.
25. What made Andrea think that the painting might be drawn by Picasso
A. It showed the image of Dora Maar.
B. Picasso was on Capri when it was painted.
C. It looked like the image he saw in a textbook.
D. It was well received when hung in a restaurant.
26. Why did Andrea register the painting with the police
A To have a careful examination. B. To donate it to the government.
C. To meet the police’s requirements. D. To hide it from other family members.
27. Which of the following words can best describe Andrea
A. Determined. B. Open-minded. C. Confident. D. Warm-hearted.
C
More people in the UK are choosing to spend their money on “ethical” shopping, according to the Fairtrade Foundation. Ethical shopping means buying things that do not harm people, animals or the environment when they are produced.
The Fairtrade Foundation is an organization based in the UK that helps farmers and workers in poorer parts of the world to earn enough money to live comfortably. It does this by asking companies that grow products such as bananas or coffee to provide safe working conditions and pay their workers fair wages. The company can then sell its products with a Fairtrade mark so buyers know they are shopping ethically.
Michael Gidney, from the Fairtrade Foundation, said it expects to have made more than 13 million from sales in the UK last year, an increase from 12.8 million in 2022. Last year was a challenging time for the UK economy. The effects of the Covid pandemic, and regional conflicts, pushed up the prices of food and energy, so people had less money to spend. However, the growth in ethical spending shows that many people care about how their spending affects others. “British shoppers do not trade down on their values when times are tough,” Gidney said.
Millions of people in 70 countries benefit from the Fairtrade Foundation’s work, including projects supporting schools, healthcare and clean water. This year the foundation marks 30 years since the Fairtrade programme began. There are also organizations like Rainforest Alliance running ethical shopping plans. Gidney said the growth in ethical shopping proves to big companies that more people want to buy goods that treat workers, animals and the planet well. “We are winning the argument that trade can be sustainable and fair for people and planet,” he said.
28. What can we learn about the Fairtrade Foundation
A. It sells products with recognized labels. B. It urges companies to be worker-friendly.
C. It encourages shoppers to buy more products. D. It sets wage standards for growers on poor land.
29. What does the underlined sentence in paragraph 3 probably mean
A. British shoppers aren’t affected by economic challenges.
B. British shoppers buy more regardless of money shortage.
C. British shoppers keep to ethical shopping despite tight finances.
D. British shoppers care more about their spending in economic struggles.
30. Why did Gidney mention the growth in ethical shopping in paragraph 4
A. To settle the disagreement on trade. B. To prove the influence of Rainforest Alliance.
C. To draw big firms’ attention to sustainable trade. D. To expect a greater demand for responsible products.
31. Which of the following is the best title for the text
A. Shopping to Help Others B. Trading to Ensure Benefits
C. Why Can Ethical Shopping Save Economy D. How Does Fairtrade Foundation Help Global Economy
D
People thoughtlessly make other people into social media content. If you want to explain this problem, you only draw more attention to something that shouldn’t be happening in the first place.
On a regular basis, a photo or a video will be posted on some social media in which a totally ordinary person doing a totally ordinary thing is removed from all context. And if you look at the numbers on the post, you’ll find that the post has been viewed by a million people.
This is a predictable result of everybody having a camera with them at all times. Who hasn’t wished they had a camera to document the amazing “small person walking huge dog” moment they enjoyed Curiosity happens, and surprise happens. But if you are purely using someone as a curiosity, why dont’t you say, “Can I take your picture ” Deep down you know the person might not want you to.
Should we walk around with our head down, ignoring the world of amusing strangeness around us Of course not. We’re far enough into the “practically everybody has a camera” age that we know how it goes, and how we just never know when our small post will become a big deal. To preserve privacy, you can put digital stickers over somebody’s face. You can also offer descriptions in different ways instead of showing photos.
Bear in mind: Standing there with your phone out taking a picture of people who are innocently eating lunch might seem strange to some people, And one of them might also have a phone.
32. What is the predictable result of easy camera access
A. People become more interested in others. B. People are more likely to enjoy amusing events.
C. Amazing situations can be recorded without worry. D. Posts of ordinary people can unexpectedly become hot.
33. Why might people not ask strangers for permission before taking photos
A. They want natural shots. B. They are afraid of being refused.
C. They intend to surprise strangers. D. They’re unwilling to bother strangers.
34. What does the author suggest we do to protect privacy in online photos
A. Cover faces with digital stickers. B. Ask for permission before posting.
C. Post photos with rich descriptions. D. Pay no attention to what happens around.
35 What attitude does the author probably hold to taking photos of people eating in public
A. Objective. B. Unconcerned. C. Favorable. D. Disapproval.

“You include too many safety schools,” this was the same comment from all my teachers, family, and friends about my list of colleges. “Why not choose more reach schools It’s harder to get their offer, but I have confidence in you,” my mom said to me, confused. “I’m afraid of being rejected (拒绝) by every university,” I murmured faintly.
As a child, I was always cautious and alert, attempting to minimize every possibility of risk or danger. My early years were characterized by careful preparation and a never-ending search for safety. I can still clearly recall my first day of kindergarten when I tightly gripped my mother’s hand until my knuckles (指关节) turned white. It was impossible to face the overpowering fear of the unknown and entering a room full of strangers. But I overcame them, as I have overcome many fears, by learning to take baby steps toward my goals.
There were new challenges in high school. My biggest fear was public speaking, but I realized that the only way to get over it was to tackle it head-on. There were painful moments in the beginning. My thoughts would race, and my voice would tremble. I encountered sharp objections and “heart-hurting” comments, but I became more assured and accomplished with every opportunity before the class. I discovered how to use my fear as motivation to write better drafts, encounter accidents, and improve my public speaking. Eventually, my English teacher chose me as the host of our school’s Foreign Language Reading Festival at the end of the semester. I distinguished myself by giving a persuasive speech on English reading abilities and won tremendous applause.

As I submitted my final application, I felt a sense of accomplishment, knowing that I had embraced both my ambitions and the uncertainties ahead.
