A
The Nobel Prize in Literature, which has been awarded annually almost every year since 1901, netted (净赚) the winning author 747,000 pounds, a medal and a certificate, and the legal duty to deliver a lecture in Sweden at some future dates. The winner was selected, as usual, by the Swedish Academy, which also picked a second laureate (获奖者) this year to make up for the fact that no prize was presented in 2018 because of a scandal (丑闻).
The Nobel Prize in Literature for 2018 was awarded to the Polish author Olga Tokarczuk for “a narrative imagination that with encyclopedic (百科全书式的) passion represents the crossing of boundaries as a form of life”. She won last year’s Man Booker International Prize for her novel Flights. Her representative works include Drive Your Plow Over the Bones of the Dead and Primeval and Other Times.
The Nobel Prize in Literature for 2019 was awarded to the Austrian author Peter Handke for “an influential work that with linguistic ingenuity (语言的独创性) has explored the periphery and the specificity of human experience”. His representative works include A Sorrow Beyond Dreams and Slow Homecoming.
Before the announcement of the Nobel Prize in Literature winners, there were also two nominees (被提名者) who have attracted much attention. Chinese people were keeping an eye on the nominee Can Xue. Can Xue, whose real name is Deng Xiaohua, was born in central China’s Hunan Province in 1953. She had a tough childhood, working as a worker in a street factory for eight years. Her life experience has formed her own unique literary path. Can’s books have been translated and published outside China. Frontier, published in the US in 2017, won attention and applause of the West.
The other hot guess was the Japanese writer Haruki Murakami whose books and stories had been bestsellers in Japan as well as internationally, with his work being translated into 50 languages and selling millions of copies outside his native country. His work has received numerous awards. Internet users kept an eye on him in the Nobel Prize in Literature because he had become a hot guess for years. His representative works include Norwegian Wood, Kafka on the Shore and 1Q84.
1. Why are two writers awarded the Nobel Prize in Literature this year
A. To fill the prize gap of 2018. B. To attract more people’s attention.
C. To inspire more outstanding writers. D. To satisfy the development of literature.
2 What made Olga Tokarczuk win the Nobel Prize in Literature
A. Her high popularity. B. Her language skills.

B
I live in central London. It’s crowded. I see tons of people every day. The Uber driver. The office workers at rush hour. The cashiers at Sainsbury’s ... Deep in my thoughts, I encounter and interact with people mindlessly like a robot sometimes, without giving it much thought. It’s becoming rare for me to make spontaneous (自发的) friendships.
My mom was and still is the queen of spontaneous friendships. She is the kind of person who will talk to a cashier and know her life story, talk to a sales assistant and become her friend, and talk to a man sitting nearby, get his number and have me visiting his workplace to get advice on job hunting. These mindless chats have brought her many friends, and they have also solved many problems. I can’t remember how many times she did her magic and pulled herself out of a bad situation. Sometimes I wish I could be more like her. But on reflection, it’s something I can practice and you can too.
For me to change, I had to make a habit of some sort. Here are the three affirmations (肯定) I tell myself every day to be more open to people.
We are all fellow humans. We are all in this world together so we might as well be friendly and make a connection with a fellow human.
Today is going to be a great day. Maybe I’ll meet someone who will make my day. I might be saved by a stranger. I might even meet my future employer before even applying.
Opportunities are created by people. Whether it is a job or anything else, opportunities come from people talking to each other.
So next time you get your coffee, ride with a driver, wait in line or even sit in the underground, don’t be afraid to interact with a stranger. It will affect their day; it will affect yours and you might get to that opportunity or solution that was lying in them, waiting to be found.
4. Why does the author say that he is like a robot
A. He has to work hard.
B. He is as smart as a robot.
C. He has little time to enjoy his life.
D. He seldom makes a connection with strangers.
5. What do we know about the author’s mother
A. She has good people skills. B. She is fond of giving advice.
C She has strong belief in magic. D. She is unaware of her privacy concerns.
6 What did the author think about what his mother did
A. It was helpful to her. B. It was none of her business.
C. It should be more spontaneous. D. It failed to solve any problems.
7. What does the author suggest
A. Staying away from strangers.
B. Keeping in touch with your old friends.
C. Communicating with those you encounter.
D. Avoiding sharing personal information with others.
【答案】4. D 5. A 6. A 7. C

The murals ( 壁画) are expected to fade within a year, but the city hopes a proposed (被提议的) street painting program will help participants build community and create a sense of place that will live on long after the paint wears away.
The program originated from a pilot project the City of Regina carried out in 2017 and 2018. The project saw members of the community gather to create a public artwork designed by the Neil Balkwill’s artist Brendan Schick at the crosswalk of 14th Avenue and Montague Street in October 2017.
But seven months — and one winter season — after the first mural was painted, it had faded to nothing. Norman Kyle, director of roadways and transportation for the City of Regina, said the use of a stain (着色剂) instead of a road paint, as well as road use, contributed to the mural’s quick demise. “We had a lot of calls and there were a lot of social media posts that were positive about the mural,” said Kyle. “They wished it would have lasted longer but given the fact that it is on a road with traffic and sand, just like our road markings, we have to refresh them every year to make them visible.”
Citizens will be able to send proposals outlining what kind of mural their group or organization would like to paint and where. City administration will then assess the proposals.
If approved, a flat permit fee of $400 will be required to cover the cost of traffic accommodations (设施) including barricades and parking restrictions needed during painting and after as the paint dries. The permit fee will also cover the cost of reviewing the applications. The applicants will also be required to cover the cost of the paint needed to complete the mural.
“In the pilot project we felt it was successful because there was high community involvement and participation,” said Kyle. “It generated a lot of positive feedback from both the citizens and the community.” He said he hopes community groups will continue to get involved, and as they do that it will spread throughout the city.
8. What do we know about the pilot project
A. It began in 2018. B. It used a road paint.
C. It aimed to protect ancient murals. D. It involved participants in street painting.
9. What does the underlined word “demise” in paragraph 3 probably mean
A. Disappearance. B. Completion. C. Stop. D. Hit.
10. What is paragraph 5 mainly about
A. How to paint murals.
B. How to apply for a mural.
C. What influences murals have on communities.
D. What costs applicants should cover to create the mural.
11. What did Kyle say about the pilot project
A. It has spread throughout the city.
B. It failed to be carried out smoothly.
C. It helped create a sense of neighborhood.
D. It caused a lot of trouble for city traffic.
【答案】8. D 9. A 10. D 11. C
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇新闻报道。文章报道了里贾纳市正在启动一个项目，帮助人们在街上创作壁画。人们可以为壁画提出想法，还需支付一定费用。项目一旦获得批准，社区将聚集在一起绘制壁画，这将有助于营造邻里关系。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“The program originated from a pilot project the City of Regina carried out in 2017 and 2018. The project saw members of the community gather to create a public artwork designed by the Neil Balkwill’s artist Brendan Schick at the crosswalk of 14th Avenue and Montague Street in October 2017.(该计划起源于里贾纳市于2017年和2018年开展的试点项目。2017年10月，社区成员聚集在第14大道和蒙塔古街的人行横道上创作了一件公共艺术品，它由Neil Balkwill的艺术家Brendan Schick设计)”可知，试点项目让社区成员参与其中，在街头绘画。故选D项。
【9题详解】
词句猜测题。第三段第一句“But seven months — and one winter season — after the first mural was painted, it had faded to nothing.(但在第一幅壁画画完七个月后，也就是一个冬天，它就消失了)”说明在人行横道上的画过一段时间就消失了，划线词所在句“Norman Kyle, director of roadways and transportation for the City of Regina, said the use of a stain (着色剂) instead of a road paint, as well as road use, contributed to the mural’s quick demise.(里贾纳市的道路和交通主管诺曼·凯尔说，使用着色剂代替道路油漆和道路的频繁使用，导致了壁画的迅速demise)”解释了画消失的原因。由此推知，“demise”与上文“faded to nothing”意思相同，意为“消失”。故选A项。
【10题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第五段“If approved, a flat permit fee of $400 will be required to cover the cost of traffic accommodations (设施) including barricades and parking restrictions needed during painting and after as the paint dries. The permit fee will also cover the cost of reviewing the applications. The applicants will also be required to cover the cost of the paint needed to complete the mural.(如果获得批准，将需要支付400美元的统一许可费，以支付在油漆期间和油漆干燥后所需的交通设施费用，包括路障和停车限制。许可证费用还包括审核申请的费用。申请人还需要支付完成壁画所需的油漆费用)”可知，第五段主要讲要创作壁画，申请人需要支付多少费用。故选D项。
【11题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段中“‘In the pilot project we felt it was successful because there was high community involvement and participation,’ said Kyle. ‘It generated a lot of positive feedback from both the citizens and the community.’(“在试点项目中，我们觉得它是成功的，因为社区的参与度很高，”凯尔说。“它从市民和社区中获得了很多积极的反馈。”)”可推知，Kyle认为试点项目有助于营造邻里关系。故选C项。

Mogao Grottoes is located at the western end of the Hexi Corridor along the ancient Silk Road in Dunhuang China. Until now, most mural paintings at Mogao Grottoes have been dated by directly referring to the mural texts or historical documents. However, some are still left with the creation era (年代) uncertain due to the lack of reference materials or the disagreement of art experts.
The drawing style of mural paintings was changing throughout history and can be learned and quantified through painting data. A new dating method has been developed by encoding (编码) the drawing styles using visual codes learned through deep learning. This new method successfully discovered the creation era of six mural paintings at Mogao Grottoes. This new research work is led by Qingquan Li from Shenzhen University.
With the help of experts from Dunhuang Academy, seven mural paintings from two grottoes (No. 205 and No. 206) were chosen as subjects for this dating research.
To reveal the creation era of these paintings, Qin Zou, a researcher from Wuhan University, collected 3,860 mural paintings from 194 different grottoes with confirmed creation-era labels. To find the visual codes that can identify the era in these paintings, the authors constructed a deep convolutional neural network (卷积神经网络) and classified (将……分类) these painting images into the right eras. Based on the classification model, a dating method was built and applied to date the seven paintings.
Six of the new dating results were approved by experts from Dunhuang Academy. “These dating results are correct and the method is great,” said Mr. Hui-Min Wang, a distinguished expert from the Archaeological Institute of Dunhuang Academy.
“To the best of our knowledge,” wrote the researchers, “this work represents the first account of a scientific and quantitative manner to support the era prediction and reduce the uncertainties in dating ancient paintings by using deep learning.”
12. In which way can most mural paintings be directly dated
A. By checking painting data.
B. By identifying the drawing styles.
C. By referring to reference materials.
D. By adopting a convolutional neural network.
13. What can be learned about the new dating method
A. It requires a large number of visual codes.
B. It dated the seven chosen mural paintings correctly.
C. It was developed by experts in Dunhuang Academy.
D. It involves collecting information from the mural texts.
14. What is paragraph 4 mainly about
A. The importance of creation-era labels.
B. How the classification model is created.
C. The influence of the new dating research.
D. Why the researchers chose 3,860 mural paintings.
15. What was Mr. Wang’s attitude toward this new method
A. Doubtful. B. Critical. C. Positive. D. Uninterested.
【答案】12. C 13. A 14. B 15. C
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了研究人员已经开发出一种新的测年方法来准确地确定中国莫高窟古代壁画的年代。

【13题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中“A new dating method has been developed by encoding (编码) the drawing styles using visual codes learned through deep learning.(一种新的测年方法是利用深度学习的视觉代码对绘画风格进行编码。)”可知，新的测年方法需要大量的视觉代码。故选A项。
【14题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第四段“To reveal the creation era of these paintings, Qin Zou, a researcher from Wuhan University, collected 3,860 mural paintings from 194 different grottoes with confirmed creation-era labels. To find the visual codes that can identify the era in these paintings, the authors constructed a deep convolutional neural network (卷积神经网络) and classified (将……分类) these painting images into the right eras. Based on the classification model, a dating method was built and applied to date the seven paintings.(为了揭示这些壁画的创作时代，武汉大学的研究人员秦邹从194个不同的石窟中收集了3860幅壁画，并确定了创作时代的标签。为了在这些绘画中找到可以识别时代的视觉代码，作者构建了一个深度卷积神经网络，并将这些绘画图像分类到正确的时代。基于分类模型，建立了一种测年方法，并应用于7幅画的测年。)”可知，第四段主要介绍了分类模型是如何创建的。故选B项。
【15题详解】

阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
The Steps in Restoring a Painting
Every work is different. The only thing they all have in common is it takes time! Below we have broken the restoration (修复) process into 6 major steps.
Step 1 The Test Clean
We use ‘Ultraviolet Light (紫外光)’ to check which generally shows up any previous restoration. Once satisfied, we then ‘Spot Clean’ in several places using a cotton stick to carefully remove the varnish (亮光漆) and determine what lies beneath! ____16____
Step 2 Client Communication
We always contact the client at this stage! ____17____ After detailed discussions it was decided to reveal and restore the original painting.
Step 3 Total Clean
____18____ It involves extreme care in removing the many years of old varnish and any previous restoration or repainting work done by other restorers to reveal the original painting.
Step 4 Stretchers and Relining
It’s at this stage where the canvas (画布) is relined. ____19____ We always try to keep the painting as original as possible.
Step 5 Retouching
Retouching is extremely time-consuming and must be undertaken with great care! Although we are literally ‘drawing’ paint to infill the damaged areas, the style and brushwork of the original artist must be respected and copied to maintain the authenticity (真实性) of the work.
Step 6 Varnishing and Finishing
____20____ We offer a choice from Matt, Semi Matt through to full Gloss to meet the clients’ taste. They are applied by hand or spray to suit the work and style of the painting.
A. We discuss the way forward.
B. This stage frightens many people.
C. Total clean is a slow and painful job.
D. We use a range of top quality varnishes to protect the work.
E. The effect must match the original painting as closely as possible.
F. And only in the most extreme circumstances would we fit a new or recycled stretcher.
G. This is the first time we can truly know what work is required to complete the restoration.
【答案】16. G 17. A 18. C 19. F 20. D

【16题详解】
根据小标题“Step 1 The Test Clean (步骤1：检查清洁)”和上文“We use ‘Ultraviolet Light (紫外光)’ to check which generally shows up any previous restoration. Once satisfied, we then ‘Spot Clean’ in several places using a cotton stick to carefully remove the varnish (亮光漆) and determine what lies beneath!(我们使用“紫外线灯”来检查，通常会显示任何先前的修复。一旦有所发现，我们就用棉花棒在几个地方进行“斑点清洁”，小心地去除清漆，并确定下面是什么!)”可推知，进行“检查清洁”是修复绘画的第一步，通过检查来发现需要对什么地方进行修复，并先对其进行清洁，即G选项“This is the first time we can truly know what work is required to complete the restoration.(这是我们第一次真正知道完成修复需要做什么工作。)”。故选G项。
【17题详解】
上文“We always contact the client at this stage!(我们总是在这个阶段联系客户!)”提出联系客户，A项“We discuss the way forward.(我们讨论如何进行下一步工作。)”承接上文，说明联系客户的目的，上下文语意连贯。故选A项。
【18题详解】
小标题“Step 3 Total Clean(步骤3：彻底清洁)”提出Total Clean的概念，C项“Total clean is a slow and painful job.(彻底清洁是一项缓慢而痛苦的工作。)”对其作进一步的说明，上下文语意连贯。故选C项。
【19题详解】
下文“We always try to keep the painting as original as possible.(我们总是尽量保持这幅画原来的样子。)”是对F项“And only in the most extreme circumstances would we fit a new or recycled stretcher.(只有在最极端的情况下，我们才会安一个新的或可回收的画框。)”的解释说明，即只有在极端情况下才会更换画框，因为原则是保持画原来的样子。F项句中“stretcher”与小标题相照应。故选F项。
【20题详解】
下文“We offer a choice from Matt, Semi Matt through to full Gloss to meet the clients’ taste. They are applied by hand or spray to suit the work and style of the painting.(我们提供从哑光，半哑光到全光泽的选择，以满足客户的口味。它们是用手或喷雾来涂抹的，以适应作品和绘画风格。)”详解了修复用清漆的选择，是对D项“We use a range of top quality varnishes to protect the work.(我们使用一系列高质量的清漆来保护作品。)”内容的说明，上下文语意连贯。故选D项。

47. 阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
I watched with interest as my husband worked on his casting technique with his new fly rod (假蝇钓鱼竿). Fly fishing has always been an inviting sport to me because it requires more activity than just standing and waiting for a fish to pull your floater underwater.
I was asked to watch over the other four fishing poles he had brought with us. They were baited (装诱饵) with live shrimp and had colorful floaters moving up and down on top of the water. I wanted to try my hand at casting the line too, but it was his pole, and I figured I would wait for him to wear its newness off.
He worked for a while and then complained that maybe he was throwing the line too hard and said he needed to work on his casting efforts. I made fun of him by saying something like: “You’ve got to put your whole self into it.”
I had watched fly fishing on TV, and it seemed to me that when people fly fished, they used their entire body to work with the rhythm (节奏) of casting and pulling the fly through the water.
I couldn’t stand it any longer. I wanted to see if I could cast the fly rod the way I had seen it done on television, so I jumped at my chance. “Could I try the fly rod ” I asked. “Sure,” he said, “but it is hard to do. I will probably have to help you.”
I picked up the long pole with the yellow rope-looking line and caught the extra line in my left hand while drawing the pole back with my right hand. The bait was pulled awkwardly backward through the air. I immediately threw it forward. It dropped into the water, but it wasn’t smooth. I tried again and again until I could feel a rhythmic movement.
After a while, the line was sailing easily. My husband was truly impressed when he saw me casting, and I was becoming sure of myself.
注意：
1. 续写词数应为150左右；2. 请按如下格式在相应位置作答。
I decided to try one nice, long, smooth casting motion.
__________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
The next thing I knew, I was face down in the water.
__________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】One possible version:
I decided to try one nice, long, smooth casting motion. I wanted to impress him and show him how far I could get the line out. I drew back the rod with the yellow line and bait flying in the air and let it go with all I had. I put so much into the effort that I felt myself falling forward with the line. I tried to stop, but I began to slide, and then my knee went forward. I had nothing to hold onto for support except the fly rod I had in hand.
The next thing I knew, I was face down in the water. My husband heard the loud noise of something hitting the water and looked over, thinking I must have actually landed a big fish. Then, he saw me trying to stand up in the water with wet and sticky dirt running down my legs. He, who thought I was natural for fly fishing just minutes ago, began to laugh. Actually, he still hasn’t stopped laughing. “That’s what I call putting everything you’ve got into it,” he said.

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A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。
A
The Nobel Prize in Literature, which has been awarded annually almost every year since 1901, netted (净赚) the winning author 747,000 pounds, a medal and a certificate, and the legal duty to deliver a lecture in Sweden at some future dates. The winner was selected, as usual, by the Swedish Academy, which also picked a second laureate (获奖者) this year to make up for the fact that no prize was presented in 2018 because of a scandal (丑闻).
The Nobel Prize in Literature for 2018 was awarded to the Polish author Olga Tokarczuk for “a narrative imagination that with encyclopedic (百科全书式的) passion represents the crossing of boundaries as a form of life”. She won last year’s Man Booker International Prize for her novel Flights. Her representative works include Drive Your Plow Over the Bones of the Dead and Primeval and Other Times.
The Nobel Prize in Literature for 2019 was awarded to the Austrian author Peter Handke for “an influential work that with linguistic ingenuity (语言的独创性) has explored the periphery and the specificity of human experience”. His representative works include A Sorrow Beyond Dreams and Slow Homecoming.
Before the announcement of the Nobel Prize in Literature winners, there were also two nominees (被提名者) who have attracted much attention. Chinese people were keeping an eye on the nominee Can Xue. Can Xue, whose real name is Deng Xiaohua, was born in central China’s Hunan Province in 1953. She had a tough childhood, working as a worker in a street factory for eight years. Her life experience has formed her own unique literary path. Can’s books have been translated and published outside China. Frontier, published in the US in 2017, won attention and applause of the West.
The other hot guess was the Japanese writer Haruki Murakami whose books and stories had been bestsellers in Japan as well as internationally, with his work being translated into 50 languages and selling millions of copies outside his native country. His work has received numerous awards. Internet users kept an eye on him in the Nobel Prize in Literature because he had become a hot guess for years. His representative works include Norwegian Wood, Kafka on the Shore and 1Q84.
1. Why are two writers awarded the Nobel Prize in Literature this year
A. To fill the prize gap of 2018. B. To attract more people’s attention.
C. To inspire more outstanding writers. D. To satisfy the development of literature.
2. What made Olga Tokarczuk win the Nobel Prize in Literature
A. Her high popularity. B. Her language skills.
C. Her numerous works. D. Her writing style.
3. Which book can you choose if you are interested in Peter’s style
A. Flights. B. Slow Homecoming. C. Frontier. D. Kafka on the Shore.
B
I live in central London. It’s crowded. I see tons of people every day. The Uber driver. The office workers at rush hour. The cashiers at Sainsbury’s ... Deep in my thoughts, I encounter and interact with people mindlessly like a robot sometimes, without giving it much thought. It’s becoming rare for me to make spontaneous (自发的) friendships.
My mom was and still is the queen of spontaneous friendships. She is the kind of person who will talk to a cashier and know her life story, talk to a sales assistant and become her friend, and talk to a man sitting nearby, get his number and have me visiting his workplace to get advice on job hunting. These mindless chats have brought her many friends, and they have also solved many problems. I can’t remember how many times she did her magic and pulled herself out of a bad situation. Sometimes I wish I could be more like her. But on reflection, it’s something I can practice and you can too.
For me to change, I had to make a habit of some sort. Here are the three affirmations (肯定) I tell myself every day to be more open to people.
We are all fellow humans. We are all in this world together so we might as well be friendly and make a connection with a fellow human.
Today is going to be a great day. Maybe I’ll meet someone who will make my day. I might be saved by a stranger. I might even meet my future employer before even applying.
Opportunities are created by people. Whether it is a job or anything else, opportunities come from people talking to each other.
So next time you get your coffee, ride with a driver, wait in line or even sit in the underground, don’t be afraid to interact with a stranger. It will affect their day; it will affect yours and you might get to that opportunity or solution that was lying in them, waiting to be found.
4. Why does the author say that he is like a robot
A. He has to work hard.
B. He is as smart as a robot.
C. He has little time to enjoy his life.
D. He seldom makes a connection with strangers.
5. What do we know about the author’s mother

6. What did the author think about what his mother did
A. It was helpful to her. B. It was none of her business.
C. It should be more spontaneous. D. It failed to solve any problems.
7. What does the author suggest
A. Staying away from strangers.
B. Keeping in touch with your old friends.
C. Communicating with those you encounter.
D. Avoiding sharing personal information with others.

The murals ( 壁画) are expected to fade within a year, but the city hopes a proposed (被提议的) street painting program will help participants build community and create a sense of place that will live on long after the paint wears away.
The program originated from a pilot project the City of Regina carried out in 2017 and 2018. The project saw members of the community gather to create a public artwork designed by the Neil Balkwill’s artist Brendan Schick at the crosswalk of 14th Avenue and Montague Street in October 2017.
But seven months — and one winter season — after the first mural was painted, it had faded to nothing. Norman Kyle, director of roadways and transportation for the City of Regina, said the use of a stain (着色剂) instead of a road paint, as well as road use, contributed to the mural’s quick demise. “We had a lot of calls and there were a lot of social media posts that were positive about the mural,” said Kyle. “They wished it would have lasted longer but given the fact that it is on a road with traffic and sand, just like our road markings, we have to refresh them every year to make them visible.”
Citizens will be able to send proposals outlining what kind of mural their group or organization would like to paint and where. City administration will then assess the proposals.
If approved, a flat permit fee of $400 will be required to cover the cost of traffic accommodations (设施) including barricades and parking restrictions needed during painting and after as the paint dries. The permit fee will also cover the cost of reviewing the applications. The applicants will also be required to cover the cost of the paint needed to complete the mural.
“In the pilot project we felt it was successful because there was high community involvement and participation,” said Kyle. “It generated a lot of positive feedback from both the citizens and the community.” He said he hopes community groups will continue to get involved, and as they do that it will spread throughout the city.
8. What do we know about the pilot project
A. It began in 2018. B. It used a road paint.
C. It aimed to protect ancient murals. D. It involved participants in street painting.
9. What does the underlined word “demise” in paragraph 3 probably mean
A. Disappearance. B. Completion. C. Stop. D. Hit.
10 What is paragraph 5 mainly about
A. How to paint murals.
B. How to apply for a mural.
C. What influences murals have on communities.
D. What costs applicants should cover to create the mural.
11. What did Kyle say about the pilot project
A. It has spread throughout the city.
B. It failed to be carried out smoothly.
C. It helped create a sense of neighborhood.
D. It caused a lot of trouble for city traffic.
D
Mogao Grottoes is located at the western end of the Hexi Corridor along the ancient Silk Road in Dunhuang, China. Until now, most mural paintings at Mogao Grottoes have been dated by directly referring to the mural texts or historical documents. However, some are still left with the creation era (年代) uncertain due to the lack of reference materials or the disagreement of art experts.
The drawing style of mural paintings was changing throughout history and can be learned and quantified through painting data. A new dating method has been developed by encoding (编码) the drawing styles using visual codes learned through deep learning. This new method successfully discovered the creation era of six mural paintings at Mogao Grottoes. This new research work is led by Qingquan Li from Shenzhen University.
With the help of experts from Dunhuang Academy, seven mural paintings from two grottoes (No. 205 and No. 206) were chosen as subjects for this dating research.
To reveal the creation era of these paintings, Qin Zou, a researcher from Wuhan University, collected 3,860 mural paintings from 194 different grottoes with confirmed creation-era labels. To find the visual codes that can identify the era in these paintings, the authors constructed a deep convolutional neural network (卷积神经网络) and classified (将……分类) these painting images into the right eras. Based on the classification model, a dating method was built and applied to date the seven paintings.
Six of the new dating results were approved by experts from Dunhuang Academy. “These dating results are correct and the method is great,” said Mr. Hui-Min Wang, a distinguished expert from the Archaeological Institute of Dunhuang Academy.
“To the best of our knowledge,” wrote the researchers, “this work represents the first account of a scientific and quantitative manner to support the era prediction and reduce the uncertainties in dating ancient paintings by using deep learning.”
12. In which way can most mural paintings be directly dated
A. By checking painting data.
B. By identifying the drawing styles.
C. By referring to reference materials.
D. By adopting a convolutional neural network.
13. What can be learned about the new dating method
A. It requires a large number of visual codes.
B. It dated the seven chosen mural paintings correctly.
C. It was developed by experts in Dunhuang Academy.
D. It involves collecting information from the mural texts.
14. What is paragraph 4 mainly about
A. The importance of creation-era labels.
B. How the classification model is created.
C. The influence of the new dating research.
D. Why the researchers chose 3,860 mural paintings.
15. What was Mr. Wang’s attitude toward this new method
A. Doubtful. B. Critical. C. Positive. D. Uninterested.

47. 阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
I watched with interest as my husband worked on his casting technique with his new fly rod (假蝇钓鱼竿). Fly fishing has always been an inviting sport to me because it requires more activity than just standing and waiting for a fish to pull your floater underwater.
I was asked to watch over the other four fishing poles he had brought with us. They were baited (装诱饵) with live shrimp and had colorful floaters moving up and down on top of the water. I wanted to try my hand at casting the line too, but it was his pole, and I figured I would wait for him to wear its newness off.
He worked for a while and then complained that maybe he was throwing the line too hard and said he needed to work on his casting efforts. I made fun of him by saying something like: “You’ve got to put your whole self into it.”
I had watched fly fishing on TV, and it seemed to me that when people fly fished, they used their entire body to work with the rhythm (节奏) of casting and pulling the fly through the water.
I couldn’t stand it any longer. I wanted to see if I could cast the fly rod the way I had seen it done on television, so I jumped at my chance. “Could I try the fly rod ” I asked. “Sure,” he said, “but it is hard to do. I will probably have to help you.”
I picked up the long pole with the yellow rope-looking line and caught the extra line in my left hand while drawing the pole back with my right hand. The bait was pulled awkwardly backward through the air. I immediately threw it forward. It dropped into the water, but it wasn’t smooth. I tried again and again until I could feel a rhythmic movement.
After a while, the line was sailing easily. My husband was truly impressed when he saw me casting, and I was becoming sure of myself.
注意：
1. 续写词数应为150左右；2. 请按如下格式在相应位置作答。
I decided to try one nice, long, smooth casting motion.
