This is my son Matthew’s last night at home before college. I know that this is good news. I feel proud that Matthew will go to a great school. I know that this is the finest hour. But looking at the suitcases on his bed sends me out of the room to a hidden corner where I can’t stop crying.
Through the sorrow, I feel embarrassed. “Pull yourself together!” I tell myself. There are parents sending their kids off to battle zones. How dare I feel so shocked and upset?
One of the great gifts of my life has been having my boys, Matthew and John Owen. Through them, I have explored the mysterious, complicated bond between fathers and sons. As my wife and I raised them, I have discovered the love and loss between my father and me. After my parents’ divorce, I spent weekends with my dad in Ohio. By the time Sunday came around, I was unable to enjoy the day’s activities because I was already afraid of the goodbye of the evening.
Now, standing among Matthew’s accumulation of possessions, I realize it’s me who has become a boy again. All my sadness and longing to hold on to things are back, sweeping over me as they did when I was a child.
His bed is tidy and spare. It already has the feel of a guest bed. In my mind I replay wrapping him in his favorite blanket. That was our nightly routine until one evening he said, “Daddy, I don’t think I need a blanket tonight.” I think of all the times we lay among the covers reading. I look at the bed and think of all the recent times I was annoyed at how late he was going to sleep. I’ll never have to worry about that again, I realize.
For his part, Matthew has been a rock. He is treating his leaving as just another day at the office. And I’m glad. After all, someone’s got to be strong. I’m proud that he is charging into the first chapter of his adult life with such confidence.

World No Tobacco Day is celebrated each 31st of May. The aim is to bring attention to the growing use of tobacco and its deadly effects. The World Health Assembly established the event in 1987. This year, special attention is being given to the harmful effects of tobacco marketing to women and girls.
The WHO says the tobacco industry has increasingly directed its marketing campaigns at women and girls. Study shows that women currently represent about twenty percent of smokers while tobacco use among girls is increasing. Data collected from 151 countries show that about seven percent of young girls now smoke. That compares with twelve percent of boys. In some countries, however, the rates are almost equal.
Almost 170 countries have signed an agreement called the Framework Convention on Tobacco Control which calls on those governments to ban tobacco advertising to the fullest to protect women. The agreement seeks to reduce the demand and supply of tobacco products. This year marks the fifth anniversary since the treaty went into effect. Up to now, eighty percent of the signers have banned the sale of tobacco products to young people. Seventy percent have required health warnings on tobacco products.
Events are planned in a number of countries to mark World No Tobacco Day. Many of the events are aimed at persuading people, especially the young, not to start smoking. Others aim to educate people about the many health benefits of giving up smoking.
The World Health Organization says tobacco kills nearly five and a half million people a year and has become a top cause of death worldwide. It is estimated that so far in the world one billion people smoke. More than eighty percent of tobacco users live in low and middle income countries. The WHO estimates that tobacco use caused one hundred million deaths in the twentieth century. If current rates continue, that number could reach one billion in this century.
28. The following about World No Tobacco Day is true except .
A. it was started by the World Health Assembly
B. it is celebrated in May every other year
C. it warns people of the dangers of smoking
D. it is meant to protect women and girls this year
29. According to WHO, tobacco industry is to blame because .
A. it has managed to increase sales of tobacco among women and girls
B. it has hired more women and girls to help with the advertisement
C. it sells its tobacco at a lower price to women and girls
D. it only collects data from more than 151 countries
30. Framework Convention is made to .
A. increase tobacco production
B. improve the way of tobacco advertising
C. protect women from the dangers of smoking
D. estimate the demand of tobacco products
31. What has happened five years after the agreement came into being?
A. The sale of tobacco to the young is banned in most of the signers.
B. Eighty percent of the signers have printed warnings on tobacco products.
C. Seventy percent of the signers are persuading old people not to start smoking.
D. Few signers have told people the advantage of giving up smoking.

D
This week, four COVID-19 vaccines have appeared highly effective in preventing the COVID-19 disease and will roll out to market soon.
On November 17, Sinovac, a Chinese biotech company, published its promising results from Phase(阶段)1 and 2 trials in the medical journal The Lancet. The data shows that the vaccine, Corona Vac, has produced a very quick and strong immune response and did not cause any severe side effects among the 700 people tested. Sinovac has already started the Phase 3 tests in UAE, Brazil, Indonesia and Bangladesh since July 3. Initial Phase 3 data is likely to be available within the next month. (Update: the Phase 3 tests in UAE have shown that Corona Vac is 86% effective and UAE has officially approved it for nationwide use.)
One day earlier, Moderna reported that its vaccine is 94% effective and strongly protects against serious COVID-19 illness. On November 18, Pfizer announced that its vaccine is 95% effective. Britain’s Oxford-AstraZeneca group said on November 23 that its vaccine is up to 70% effective.
However, Corona Vac may have a series of potential advantages over the mRNA vaccines produced by Moderna and Pfizer and Oxford-AstraZeneca group’s DNA vaccines, since there hasn’t been any mRNA or DNA vaccines approved by the Food and Drug Administration(FDA) before, while Corona Vac is based on a tried-and-true method that uses weakened or dead COVIE-19.
Another big advantage for Corona Vac is the storage temperature as it can be stored between 2℃ and 8℃ for up to three years, while the mRNA vaccines have to be kept between -20℃ and -70℃. It would make their storage and distribution really challenging, especially in the developing countries.
Although we are seeing lights by the end of the tunnel, it’s important to remember that an effective vaccine is not enough to end the crisis quickly, because it will take months to produce enough vaccines and distribute them. Therefore, measures like social distancing, washing hands and wearing face masks will remain essential to control the spread of COVID-19.
32. Which country has agreed to use CoronaVac for all the people?
A. UAE. B. Brazil. C. Indonesia. D. Bangladesh.
33. How does Sinovac differ from Pfizer’s and Moderna’s vaccines?
A. It is much more effective.
B. It is a kind of mRNA vaccine.
C. It is based on a more mature method.
D. It has to be stored in extremely low temperature.
34. What is the purpose of the last part of the text?
A. To warn the risk of the new vaccines.
B. To remind people not to let down their guard.
C. To show the difficulty in distributing the vaccines.
D. To tell people how to prevent the spread of COVTD-19.
35. What is the text mainly about?
A. The differences of the various vaccines.
B. The potential advantages of CoronaVac.
C. The disadvantages of the mRNA and DNA vaccines.
D. The Phase 1 trial results of four COVID-19 vaccines.

One night in 1966, Michael Chapman rushed into a folk-music club in Cornwall, England to get out of the rain, and soon found himself onstage playing the guitar.
“They offered me a job to play for the rest of the summer. And I’ve been playing ever since,” Chapman says. “I’ve told that story so many times, but it’s absolutely true. If it hadn’t been raining that night, I wouldn’t be talking to you.”
The British guitar player has spent the 50 years since then on the road. He released some praised albums in the 1970s, but his health went downhill in the 80s and 90s. Like a lot of British artists in the 1960s, Chapman taught himself to play the guitar by listening to American jazz and blues records.
Chapman actually taught photography, but quit when he was 26 to play music full time. When he was starting out, he was often compared to other British acoustic (原声的) guitar heroes of the time, like John Martyn and Bert Jansch.
“The fascinating thing about Michael Chapman is that he doesn’t fit in with those guys of his generation,” says Andrew Male, a music journalist. “He’s always been an outsider. He never moved to London. ”
And while he never became part of the London music scene, Chapman was noticed by those musicians. “The 70s caught up with him in the 80s,” Male says. “He had a huge heart attack at the end of the 80s that nearly finished him off. When he made his way back into the world in the early 90s, people had forgotten about him.” But not everyone. A younger generation of musicians in America, including Thurston Moore of Sonic Youth and a younger singer and guitarist named Steve Gunn, recently rediscovered Chapman.
“We wanted to capture Michael’s voice and character where he is now. You know, it’s a little road-weary, but he still has it,” Gunn says. “For me, it was really important to get that right.” “He’s the right old musician for present times,” Male says. “I think the music he makes seems quite in tune with where we’re at.”
24.Which can best describe Michael Chapman’s first involvement in music?
A. Untrue. B. Accidental. C. Unfortunate. D. Reasonable.
25. What can we learn about Michael Chapman from the text?
A. He has taught photography for 26 years.
B. He taught himself to play the guitar and did far better than John Martyn.
C. To some degree, he is not accepted by other people of his generation.
D. He is one of the best guitar players in the early 90s.
26.Why did Michael Chapman quit his music career once?
A. He lost his special voice.
B. He suffered from a severe heart attack.
C. He got tired of competing with others.
D. He was almost forgotten by everyone.
27.Which of the following can be the best title for the text?
A. The Rise and Fall of Guitar Music
B. The Sad Story of a Guitar Musician
C. A New Generation Helps an Old Guitar Musician
D. A Brief Introduction to a Guitar Musician
C
As PhD research goes, Brian Wisenden was enviable, watching baby fish swimming swiftly through the clear waters in the Costa Rican tropical dry forest. By recording their growth and numbers, he hoped to look at their risks of being eaten. Instead, he witnessed something odd. Many groups were increasing in numbers. In these groups, some were smaller than others, suggesting they weren’t siblings (兄弟姐妹). Wisenden had accidentally discovered that the fish, called convict cichlids, adopt each other’s babies. Why would they do that, he wondered?
In the human world, we think of adoption as a selfless act. But in nature, its presence is puzzling. Taking on the burden of bringing up babies with no genetic link would seem to reduce an animal’s chances of survival or at least provide no gain. Yet, adoption is surprisingly common in the world.
Take the eastern grey kangaroo. Between 2008 and 2013, Wisenden followed the fates of 326 baby kangaroos in the National Park in Victoria and recorded 11 cases of pouch (育儿袋) swapping. The circumstances behind some of these adoptions aren’t known, but four were straight swaps and another four occurred after a mother had lost her own baby.
How come? Before independence, baby kangaroos go through a period inside and outside their mother’s pouch. Following out-of-pouch attacks, mothers normally sniff their young before allowing them back in, but Wisenden’s team suspect that during an emergency they may skip the sniff test, allowing a vulnerable baby to quickly climb in before fleeing from danger. Once inside the wrong pouch, the young may fake the mother’s odor, making them smell confusingly like her own children. So, poor baby recognition is the prime cause of “accidental” adoption.
Some of nature’s adoptions are, actually, driven by young looking for better prospects. In burrower bugs, for example, females lay a nest of eggs close to those of unrelated bugs. Mother bugs look after their developing eggs before they hatch, then feed their babies nuts from weedy mint plants. Finding nuts is a competitive business, so not every mother bug gets her fair share. And if the delivery rate isn’t up to scratch, clever young may abandon their mothers to join a better-fed group. That’s similar to behavior in several varieties of gull whose babies, if poorly fed, may leave home in search of better parents.
The consequences of adoption following mistaken identity can be dire (糟糕的). The true babies of adopting mothers were abandoned. But it can have remarkable benefits, not just for adoptees but also for adoptive parents.
28. It can be inferred from the passage that Wisenden’s findings are_________.
A. too strange to be witnessed B. envied by his peer co-researchers
C. out of his own expectations D. a sound proof of his research object
29. Which is NOT the reason for adoption in the animal kingdom?
A. Parents’ inability to provide enough food.
B. Baby animals’ looking for better parenting.
C. Parents’ failure to recognize their own babies.
D. Selfless adoption commonly seen in animal world.
30. The underlined word “vulnerable” in the fourth paragraph means .
A. independent and well-fed B. fragile and poorly raised
C. naughty and easily hurt D. weak and easily attacked
31. What will the author most probably talk about next?
A. The benefits for adopters. B. The consequences of adoption.
C. The benefits for baby animals. D. The consequences of wrong identity.
D
If you think about it, work-life balance is a strange ambition for a fulfilling life. Balance is about stasis (静止状态): if our lives were ever in balance—parents happy, kids taken care of, work working—then our overriding thought would be to shout “Nobody move!” and pray all would stay perfect forever. This false hope is made worse by the categories themselves. They imply that work is bad, and life is good. And so the challenge, we are told, is to balance the heaviness of work with the lightness of life.
Yet work is not the opposite of life. It is instead a part of life—just as family is, as are friends and community. All of these aspects of living have their share of uplifting moments and moments that drag us down. The same is true of work. Treat work the same way you do life: by maximizing what you love.
We have interviewed several anesthesiologists (麻醉师) about the thrills they feel in their jobs. One said he loved the thrill of holding each patient hovering at that one precise point between life and death. Another said she loved the bedside conversations before the operation aiming to calm the panic that affects many patients. Another was drawn mostly to the anesthetic mechanism and has devoted himself to defining precisely how each drug does what it does.
Think of your life’s many different activities as threads. Some are black and some are white. But some of these activities appear to be made of a different substance. These activities contain all the signs of love: before you do them, you find yourself looking forward to them; while you’re doing them, time speeds up and you find yourself in flow; and after you’ve done them, you feel energetic. These are your red threads, and research by the Mayo Clinic suggests that doctors who weave the fabric of their life with at least 20% red threads are significantly less likely to experience burnout.
The simplest way for you to do this is to spend a week in love with your job. During the week, any time you find yourself feeling one of the signs of love write down exactly what you were doing in the column “Love”. And any time you find yourself feeling the inverse (相反的) write down what you were doing in the column “Loathe”. By the end of the week you will see a list of activities in your “Love” column, which create in you a positive feeling, one that draws you in and lifts you up.
Our goal should be to, little by little, week by week, intentionally unbalance all aspects of our work toward the former and away from the latter. Not simply to make us feel better, but so that our colleagues, our friends and our family can all benefit from us at our very best.
32. What is the author’s attitude towards work-life balance?
A. Doubtful. B. Disapproving. C. Supportive. D. Neutral.
33. The author uses three anesthesiologists as examples to ________.
A. prove people benefit from work
B. indicate doctors take pride in their work
C. show people gain joy from different situations
D. imply doctors reduce the pressure of work successfully
34. “Red threads” in Paragraph 4 refer to the activities that ________.
A. arouse your passion B. satisfy your desires
C. improve your performance D. require your efforts
35. Which of the following does the author probably agree with?
A. Red threads are necessary for a balanced life.
B. Recording activities helps create positive feeling.
C. Find love in work instead of keeping work-life balance.
D. Maximize what you love to remove the heaviness from work.
21. B 22. A 23. D 24. B 25. C
26. B 27. D 28. C 29. D 30. D

吉林油田高级中学2020-2021学年度高三下学期三月月考试卷英语试卷
第一节（共15小题；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。
A
Lost cities that have been found
The White City
In 2015, a team of explorers to Honduras in search of “the Lost City of the Monke God” led to the discovery of the White City. They found the ruins in the Mosquitia region of the Central American country which is known for poisonous snakes, vicious jaguars and deadly insects. It is believed that local people hid here when the Spanish conquerors(征服者) occupied their homeland in the16th century.
Canopus and Heracleion
Modern researchers were teased by the ancient writings about the Egyptian cities Canopus and Heracleion — where Queen Cleopatra often visited. But the cities weren’t found until 1992, when a search in Alexandria waters found that the two cities had been flooded for centuries. Artifacts(史前器物) showed that the cities once highly developed as a trade network, which helped researchers piece together more about the last queen of Egypt.
Machu Picchu
A Yale professor discovered “the Lost City in the Clouds” in 1911. A combination of palaces, plazas, temples and homes, Machu Picchu displays the Inca Empire at the height of its rule. The city, which was abandoned in the 16th century for unknown reasons, was hidden by the local people from the Spanish conquerors for centuries keeping it so well preserved.
Troy
The ancient city of Troy in Homer’s The Iliad was considered a fictional setting for his characters to run wild. But in 1871, explorations in northwestern Turkey exposed nine ancient cities layered(层叠) on top of each other, the earliest dating back to about 5,000 years before. It was later determined that the sixth or seventh layer contained the lost city of Troy and that it was actually destroyed by an earthquake, not a wooden horse.
21. Why did people hide in the White City in the 16th century?
A. To survive the war. B. To search for a lost city.

Newspapers in Great Britain vary greatly in their ways of carrying the news. There are serious papers for those who want to know about important happenings everywhere, both at home and abroad. There are popular newspapers for those who prefer entertainment to information.
The London newspaper that is best known outside Great Britain is probably the Times. It began in 1785, and has a high reputation for believable news and serious opinions on the news. It calls itself an independent paper, which means that it does not give its support to a particular political party. Its leading articles give the opinions of the editors, not those of the owners of the paper.
Letters to the editor are printed in the newspaper. These parts of the Times are always interesting. Most of the letters are serious subjects. But from time to time there will be long letters on the subject which is not at all serious, perhaps on a new fashion of dress, or the bad manners of the young people, compared with manners of thirty years ago.
24. If you want to get pleasure, please buy yourself ___________.
A. a serious newspaper B. foreign newspaper
C. any independent paper D. a popular newspaper
25. The Times has been famous to outside Great Britain for _________ years.
A. 19 B. 85 C. 232 D. 229
26. The Times is an independent paper because ________.
A. it supports no political parties
B. it is not controlled by the British Government
C. it gives special support to all the political parties.
D. the editor’s opinions are not examined by the owners of the paper
27. The underlined word “vary” in the passage probably means “__________”.

During the late sixteenth and early seventeenth centuries, the London district of Southwark was prospering, and a very important and far-reaching development was taking place at Bankside, an area situated just beside the church now known as Southwark Cathedral. The Rose Theater, the Swan, the Hope Playhouse and Bear Garden were set up here along with the famous Globe Theater, in which Shakespeare acted.
William Shakespeare is commemorated(纪念) in Southwark Cathedral today by the modern memorial window in the south aisle. The window was designed by Christopher Webb in 1954, after an earlier window had been destroyed in the war, and describes characters from Shakespeare’s plays. Below it is a figure of Shakespeare, carved by Henry McCarthy in 1912, set against a background of seventeenth-century Southwark in relief(浮雕), showing the Globe Theatre, Winchester Palace and the Tower of St. Saviour’s Church. This memorial was provided by public support and was dedicated(奉献) in 1911, and every year a birthday service, attended by many great actors and actresses, is held here in honor of Shakespeare’s genius. Shakespeare’s brother Edmund was buried here in 1607, and although the position of Edmund’s grave is unknown, he is commemorated by an inscribed(刻写) stone.

A graduation ceremony recording of the national anthem(国歌)became so much better than a social-distancing performance when a man wandering by decided to join in with great harmonies.
Portland State University graduate Madisen Halberg was being recorded in a public city park that runs through the campus, after the school's decision to hold a virtual ceremony on June 14. Suddenly, while the video crew were recording her performance of The Star-Span-gled Banner, the Oregon opera singer Emmanuel Henreid happened to walk by. It was a kind of serendipity. The classically trained singer who performs with the Portland Opera wanted to join in it.
Henreid has been trying to keep his instrument in shape as all local musical venues have been closed and his dates with the opera company cancelled.
“Once he started singing,I immediately relaxed into the sound of his voice,” Hallberg told GNN. “His voice was so good, and I realized I was getting the chance to sing with a super talented musician!”
Hallberg was thrilled that his quest for singing in the streets landed him in her video. “I saw it as a total blessing, and getting the chance to show loving care for others felt truly special during this time of the virus when people are often isolated.”
“I was totally surprised that someone would have the courage to just walk up and sing with me, but that's something that I admire about him. Looking back,I'm so glad that people are touched by what happened,” she added. “I think it's important to spread positivity and hope for the future, and I think that's what two people coming together to sing the anthem can do.”
24. What does the underlined word "serendipity"in paragraph 2 mean?
A. Entertainment. B. Tradition. C. Situation. D. Coincidence.
25. What did Hallberg think about Henreid's singing?
A. It's crazy. B. It's ordinary. C. It's beautiful. D. It's embarrassing.
26. What may be Hallberg's expectation?

Attention to the fight against climate change tends to be focused on trees, but 75%of the planet's surface is covered by the ocean, and a natural process taking place underwater has excited scores of investors at the recent World Economic Forum who may want to help.
During the recent wildfires in the Amazon rainforest, journalists often described trees as the “lungs of the world”, but that title most certainly belongs to phytoplankton, which alone refreshes nearly 50%of the atmospheric oxygen on planet earth, the value of four Amazons.
And, in the effort to stop the warming of the planet, our greatest assistants could belong to whales, because of the great amount of their excrement left in the sea.
A new paper published by economist Dr. Ralph Chianti highlights the influence that whales, especially blue whales, and their excrement have on climate change. It is all due to whales' excrement in the diets of phytoplankton.
The tiny marine algae floats at the center of several marine food webs, and they provide food for a host of sea creatures including whales, while also requiring whales' excrement to feed on. They also require CO2 to survive, just like trees.
Whales, after deep-sea dives for krill, return to the surface and release excrement, which is rich in nitrogen and iron, into the top ocean layer, which provides a key food source for phytoplankton.
In his paper, Dr. Chiami suggests that since phytoplankton populations expand wherever whales are,a significant effort should be made to fight against climate change by encouraging the growth and protection of whale populations. “At a minimum, even a 1% increase in phytoplankton productivity thanks to whale activity would capture hundreds of millions of tons of additional CO2 a year, which is equal to the sudden appearance of 2 billion mature trees,” says Chiami.
28. What makes the investors excited?
A. Trees' function as “lungs of the world”. B. Phytoplankton's ability to create oxygen.
C. The success of the World Economic Forum. D. People's continuous fight against climate change.
29. Why are whales called our assistants in fighting global warming?
A. They refresh much oxygen. B. They never send out CO2.
C. They kill much phytoplankton. D. They supply food to phytoplankton.
30. Which can best describe the relationship between phytoplankton and whales?
A. Complex. B. Competitive. C. Interdependent. D. Distant.
31. What does Chiami advise us to do?
A. Rebuild food webs. B. Try to protect whales.
C. Grow more phytoplankton. D. Restrict population explosion.

If you live in a desert, maintaining a supply of fresh water is a challenge. Even in inland deserts, though, water is often present in the air as vapour. The problem is how to obtain this vapour effectively and cheaply. And that is what the researchers of the University of Connecticut hope they have managed to do.
Whether water can be got from the air depends on the air's relative humidity（湿度）. A good way to get air to give up some of its water is to cool it to the point where its relative humidity is 100%. Sometimes this happens naturally at night, causing mist and dew to form. These can be collected in special traps in areas where liquid water is rare. But if night cooling does not bring air all the way up to 100%relative humidity, building water traps out of special materials might give nature a helping hand.
Adsorption（吸附法）is a process which picks water molecules（分子）from the air that has less than 100%relative humidity by attaching them to the surface of a solid material. The molecules are held there by electrostatic connections called Van der Waals forces.
To collect a lot of water in this way requires a material that has two properties. One is a large surface area. The other is an appropriate Van der Waals response. Experimental traps that employ this principle have been made using substances called metal-organic frameworks.
These are porous（多孔的）molecular networks through which the air can circulate. Their porosity gives them a huge surface area. And by picking the right ingredients, such as zirconium, they can be given the necessary Van der Waals properties. This way works, but the technology is costly because of zirconium.
32. How can people get water from the air?
A. By reducing the air's temperature. B. By using any trap in inland deserts.
C. By using a kind of soft materials D. By reducing the air's relative humidity.
33. What's the key when we use adsorption to collect water?
A. Enough air molecules. B. Normal temperature.
C. Metal-organic frameworks. D. Some experimental tools.
34. What can we know about adsorption from the text?
A. It is easy to learn. B. It has been used widely.
C. It is refused by experts. D. It has a disadvantage.
35. What may be the best title for the text?
A. Come to save water in deserts B. Challenges of living in a desert.
C. Fresh water supply in deserts D. The air's relative humidity in deserts.

A Yorkshire village in England has created what could be the world’s smallest museum. The museum has been created by transforming a disused phone box. The attraction in Warley Town only has enough room for one visitor at a time. Despite the limitations of space, it features etched (风化的) glass, old photographs and a selection of personal items from the local people that tell the history of the village. Visitors can explore the museum and learn about the history and culture of the village.
The phone box was redesigned by members of Warley Community Association (WCA). After researching the uses of other phone boxes, including book exchanges and cafes, the group decided to create the museum. The work and planning were carried out by Mrs. Bailey, her carpenter husband Doug Bailey, and Warley artists Paul and Chris Czainski. And the museum was unveiled (揭牌) by mayor Howard Blagbrough. Kathryn Gallagher form WCA, said, “We just started talking about what we could do with the phone box and came up with the idea. Many people are excited to come and look at it.”
The theme is currently local history, but the group plans to make changes every three months. WCA has also submitted an application for the museum to be included in the Guinness Book of World Records.
Eliana Bailey, WCA chairwoman, said, “We’ve had a positive response. People thought it was amazing. When they saw the inside of the museum they could not believe it. It’s so great to show the history and culture of the village.

The artists in Madhubani district of India have been painting trees and leaves, with coats of lively colors describing pictures of Hindu deities (印度神). In the past three years since the painting campaign was started, many trees in that area which normally were the targets for local villagers have survived the axes (斧子).
The tree art, in the style of the world-famous Madhubani painting, has now made the entire area so beautiful that passers-by can’t resist taking photos. Madhubani painting, also known as Mithila painting, is a style of Indian painting practised in the northeastern region of Bihar which is done with fingers, brushes and even matchsticks using natural colors and is characterised by eye-catching patterns. There are paintings for various occasions and festivals --- such as births, marriages --- and also about Hindu tales.
“Normally, the Hindus almost stopped cutting trees down once we painted the tree trunks with different pictures of deities,” Siya Devi, one of the artists associated with the tree painting campaign, says.” Previously, the sight of people cutting roadside trees was quite common. Now it gives us much satisfaction to see the crowds of tourists paying visits to this particular area to see the painted trees and take photos.”
The idea is the brainchild of a local villager Shashthi Nath Jha who has been working for Gram Vikas Parishad, a non-governmental organization, which helps to protect the rights of women and child labor.
“The sight of people cutting down trees with axes and saws always gave me a lot of pain. I tried to convince them this wasn’t good for environment but they never took it seriously. So I finally thought of the plan to paint scenes from Hindu classics or pictures of Gods on the tree bark thinking it can work significantly, and yes, it has begun working now,” claims Jha.
32．What can we know about the tree art?
A．It cannot be done without brushes． B．It makes no use of artificial colors．
C．It is a style popular throughout India． D．It focuses on traditional Indian festivals.
33．According to the text, Shashthi Nath Jha ________.
A．works in the government B. is the designer of a local village
C．is strongly against child labor D. is the creator of the campaign
34．What can be inferred about the plan from Jha’s words?
A．It is as effective as expected． B．It came quite easily to him．
C．It has freed him from pain． D．It hasn’t been taken seriously．
35．What can be the best title for the text?
A．A New Art Form --- Tree Art B. Making Better Use of Trees
C．How to Increase the Value of Trees D．Painting Campaign Helps Save Trees
