Distinguished Baltimore artist John D. Ferguson died on Sept. 16. The Catonsville resident was 81.
“His artist eye was in everything he did. His life was art and his family，” said Jennifer C. Jackson, who was Mr. Ferguson's friend for nearly three decades. “He was a lovable man who was always willing to talk about any topic he was interested in. At shows, people would go crazy for his work，” Ms. Jackson said. “He was also an enthusiastic sailor who loved nothing more than being on the water.”“His sculptures were just memorable，” said Mr. Lund, a Washingtonian.“I used to say，‘Ferguson, I don't think you know how to do anything that is less than monumental.’”
Mr. Ferguson earned a bachelor's degree in 1961 at Holy Cross University, where he developed an interest in painting. He served in the army for two years until being discharged in 1963. After studying briefly at the Boston Museum School, he registered at the Chicago Art Institute, where he studied until 1966, when he entered the University of Illinois at Chicago, where he obtained a bachelor's degree in 1966 in fine arts. Mr. Ferguson developed his interest and skills as a sculptor after moving to Baltimore to do further studies at the Maryland Institute College of Art's Rinehart School of Sculpture, from which he graduated in 1971 with a master's degree in fine arts.
“Over the years my work has moved gradually in the direction of elegance and simplicity，” Mr. Ferguson wrote in his artist statement.“Heavy, bulbous forms have been replaced by dancing, winglike forms. The welding process and respect for the qualities of the materials are interrelated and affect the final piece. Most of the sculptures that are pictured in my works are made from steel silicon bronze, and to Cor Ten steel shaped to create these beautiful and unique pieces of art. As you can see, my sculptures range in size anywhere from 12 inches to 30 feet or larger.”
Through the years, his work found its way into such major public and private collections.“They encourage optimism, for they show strength and affirmation；there's nothing negative, depressing or anxiety ridden about them，” wrote the late art critic John Dorsey in a 1997 exhibition review.
24．What did Mr. Lund think of Ferguson？(　　)
A．Likeable. B．Ordinary.
C．Unwelcome. D．Interesting.
25．What did Mr. Ferguson do first after serving in the army？(　　)
A．He studied at the Boston Museum School.
B．He got a bachelor's degree in fine arts.
C．He entered the University of Illinois at Chicago.
D．He continued his studies at the Maryland Institute College.
26．What influences the final sculptures？(　　)
A．An even larger scale than before.
B．The material comprised of metals.
C．The shape of elegance and simplicity.
D．Welding process as well as material quality.
27．Which of the following is a suitable title for the text？(　　)
A．A Stylish, Stubborn Old Man
B．Sculptures Towering into the Clouds
C．John D. Ferguson—A Famous Sculptor
D．The Evolution of the Sculptural Style

In 2015, Professor Wang Zhenyi, who specialises in treating Acute Promyelocytic Leukemia (APL) (急性早幼粒细胞白血病)，received a letter of thanks from America. The writer of the letter was Mrs. Bernadette Giandomenico, who once suffered from APL but was cured with all trans retinoic acid (ATRA) (全反式维甲酸), a treatment developed by Wang and his medical team.
Working at Ruijin Hospital, Wang has been devoting his life to the treatment of leukemia. He received the country's highest honour in science and technology in 2010.
Born in 1924 in Shanghai, Wang was inspired by a family friend's experience of pursuing a career in medicine as a child. His grandmother's death caused by typhoid (伤寒) further strengthened his resolve to fight against diseases and rescue patients. With outstanding academic performance, Wang became a doctor at Guangci Hospital, today's Ruijin Hospital.
In 1978, a research paper from Israeli experts gave Wang inspiration to study how leukemia cells could become normal. His research didn't progress as expected, though. In 1983, another research paper shed light on his study. As the paper suggested, after being treated with 13 cis Retinoic Acid, white blood cells in patients with APL could become normal. Considering the difficulties and high cost of producing a drug made from 13 cis Retinoic Acid, Wang's team decided to replace that ingredient with ATRA, and they finally verified its positive effect after several months' experiments. In 1986, the drug was first adopted in treating a five year old patient. It turned out to be successful. After eight years of research, Wang's team eventually made the first breakthrough in the battle against APL.
To make sure every APL patient could afford the medicine, Wang has not patented his research result to date.“One cannot be a real doctor if one does not have expertise in medicine，” Wang said in an interview.“However, without a kind heart, a skilled doctor may cause harm to patients.”
Having worked in the field of hematopathology(血液病理学) for over 70 years, Wang has been well recognised for his remarkable contribution to saving lives.
28．Why did Mrs. Giandomenico write a letter to Professor Wang？(　　)
A．To ask for medical suggestions.
B．To share her battle against APL.
C．To express her appreciation.
D．To update information about her treatment.
29．What increased Wang's determination to become a doctor？(　　)
A．His grandmother's death.
B．His great academic achievement.
C．The inspiration from foreign experts.
D．The experience of a family friend.
30．What does the underlined word “verified” in Paragraph 4 probably mean？(　　)
A．Denied. B．Assessed.
C．Predicted. D．Confirmed.
31．What is the best title for the text？(　　)
A．The Application of ATRA
B．A Doctor with the Human Touch
C．The Chinese Cure for APL Patients
D．A Lifesaver with Remarkable Honour
D
The Notre Dame (巴黎圣母院) fire has been put out, but its spire (尖顶) and a large portion of its wooden roof have been damaged. The terrible destruction causes a sudden sharp pain to people around the world. “What a pity that we cannot see the damaged parts of the wonder anymore.”
But the good news is that there is at least one way of seeing them, namely through a video game called Assassin's Creed：Unity. In this game，the player can travel to one city after another and enter the buildings exactly like what they are in reality, and see Notre Dame as it was before the fire. Further, with virtual reality technology, which is already quite mature, one can even look around the undamaged Notre Dame as if it were still there. Maybe digital technology could help to better protect architectural cultural heritage.
The idea of making digital models of ancient buildings to save their data dates back to the 1990s and the necessary technology has continued to advance since then. By scanning the ancient buildings with lasers, building 3D models with multiple images, as well as measuring everything precisely, engineers can make a copy as accurate as the real one.
As computers and smartphones are hugely popular, the digital model has great useful value. First, it allows tourists to feel the cultural relics without touching them. The virtual tour of Dunhuang Grottoes in Gansu Province is a good example of this as tourists can view the paintings without standing near them. Furthermore, it can make the digitized cultural relics more famous by spreading awareness about them via the Internet. In 2000, a virtual tour of the Great Wall became very popular at the Hannover World Expo, which increased the number of foreign tourists visiting the site in the following years. Above all, it preserves all the information of the cultural relics.
Of course, however precise a model is, it is not the original. Maybe we will have better technologies in the future, but the digital technology offers a practical way to preserve architectural cultural heritage at the moment.
32．What can we see about Notre Dame in the game？(　　)
A．The damaged Notre Dame.
B．Its wooden shape.
C．The big fire.
D．Its original look.
33．What will engineers do to create a digital copy of the ancient buildings？(　　)
A．Build 3D models of full size.
B．Scan the photos of the buildings.
C．Measure all the parts exactly.
D．Improve the technology needed.
34．How does the author prove the digital copy has vital practical importance？(　　)
A．By giving examples.
B．By classification.
C．By comparison.
D．By listing data.
35．What is the author's attitude towards the application of the technology？(　　)
A．Delighted. B.Supportive.
C．Doubtful. D.Conservative.

Flextime is a flexible time schedule in which employees choose their own working hours, usually working within approximate limits set by the employer or by the government.36(____)
For employees, flextime has a clear advantage.37(____)For example, people can use flextime to create schedules which will allow them to go to school, handle childcare, assist relatives, and perform other tasks.

38(____)First, it tends to increase employees' satisfaction.This makes the company a better and more productive place to work. In addition, flextime can allow companies to serve clients for a greater portion of the day, as employees will be around at varying hours to answer phones, attend meetings, and so forth.
Most flextime schedules include core time.39(____)Employees are also usually given an hourly, daily or weekly limit to ensure that they do not violate laws about working hours. Or the company is only willing to pay wages for so many hours of work each week.
A classic example of a flexible time schedule is that someone who works four 10 hour shifts a week can take three days off. Flextime can also be combined with flexplaces, in which the environment is better than that of the office.40(____)Employers may also allow people to work in untraditional settings such as coffee houses.
A．Employers benefit from flextime a lot.
B．It's also seen as a family friendly policy.
C．However, flextime may not be applicable to all fields.

Janet couldn't lift spirit all day, for she missed everything in New Jersey. Her family had just moved here from New Jersey, having rented a small restaurant, which was planned to open next Sunday. She helped her parents wash the kitchen supplies in the shiny Dew kitchen.
“I hate this stupid decision. I have lost all my friends in New Jersey. What should I do now？” Janet muttered to herself (喃喃自语)．
“What's up？” her mother asked, and never stopped wiping the table and mopping the floor.
“Nothing，” Janet answered in a low voice. The girl had been complaining about the move but her parents had made the decision ignoring her feelings. And now they were too busy to comfort her. What's worse, the first few days at her new school hadn't been easy, either. She found it hard to talk to the new classmates surrounding her, and even harder to follow the teachers' pace. Faced with so many challenges, she felt depressed and gave a deep sigh. But the moment she saw her hardworking parents, she could do nothing but look forward and stopped her complaints.
On the day of the grand opening, the three were wearing broad smiles, welcoming customers into the restaurant. Even Janet was in high spirits as she rushed around，seating guests, ordering dishes, and serving glasses of water. What a big day for her family!
At one of the tables sat a family with a girl who was about Janet's age. As she filled their glasses, Janet realized the girl was in her class. Janet lowered her head to avoid looking directly into her eyes, and she turned away from the table.
Janet's mother noticed what had happened, and followed Janet to the kitchen.“Honey, what are you doing back here We need you out and you are really a helper.”

Distinguished Baltimore artist John D. Ferguson died on Sept. 16. The Catonsville resident was 81.
“His artist eye was in everything he did. His life was art and his family，” said Jennifer C. Jackson, who was Mr. Ferguson's friend for nearly three decades. “He was a lovable man who was always willing to talk about any topic he was interested in. At shows, people would go crazy for his work，” Ms. Jackson said. “He was also an enthusiastic sailor who loved nothing more than being on the water.”“His sculptures were just memorable，” said Mr. Lund, a Washingtonian.“I used to say，‘Ferguson, I don't think you know how to do anything that is less than monumental.’”
Mr. Ferguson earned a bachelor's degree in 1961 at Holy Cross University, where he developed an interest in painting. He served in the army for two years until being discharged in 1963. After studying briefly at the Boston Museum School, he registered at the Chicago Art Institute, where he studied until 1966, when he entered the University of Illinois at Chicago, where he obtained a bachelor's degree in 1966 in fine arts. Mr. Ferguson developed his interest and skills as a sculptor after moving to Baltimore to do further studies at the Maryland Institute College of Art's Rinehart School of Sculpture, from which he graduated in 1971 with a master's degree in fine arts.
“Over the years my work has moved gradually in the direction of elegance and simplicity，” Mr. Ferguson wrote in his artist statement.“Heavy, bulbous forms have been replaced by dancing, winglike forms. The welding process and respect for the qualities of the materials are interrelated and affect the final piece. Most of the sculptures that are pictured in my works are made from steel silicon bronze, and to Cor Ten steel shaped to create these beautiful and unique pieces of art. As you can see, my sculptures range in size anywhere from 12 inches to 30 feet or larger.”
Through the years, his work found its way into such major public and private collections.“They encourage optimism, for they show strength and affirmation；there's nothing negative, depressing or anxiety ridden about them，” wrote the late art critic John Dorsey in a 1997 exhibition review.

In 2015, Professor Wang Zhenyi, who specialises in treating Acute Promyelocytic Leukemia (APL) (急性早幼粒细胞白血病)，received a letter of thanks from America. The writer of the letter was Mrs. Bernadette Giandomenico, who once suffered from APL but was cured with all trans retinoic acid (ATRA) (全反式维甲酸), a treatment developed by Wang and his medical team.
Working at Ruijin Hospital, Wang has been devoting his life to the treatment of leukemia. He received the country's highest honour in science and technology in 2010.
Born in 1924 in Shanghai, Wang was inspired by a family friend's experience of pursuing a career in medicine as a child. His grandmother's death caused by typhoid (伤寒) further strengthened his resolve to fight against diseases and rescue patients. With outstanding academic performance, Wang became a doctor at Guangci Hospital, today's Ruijin Hospital.
In 1978, a research paper from Israeli experts gave Wang inspiration to study how leukemia cells could become normal. His research didn't progress as expected, though. In 1983, another research paper shed light on his study. As the paper suggested, after being treated with 13 cis Retinoic Acid, white blood cells in patients with APL could become normal. Considering the difficulties and high cost of producing a drug made from 13 cis Retinoic Acid, Wang's team decided to replace that ingredient with ATRA, and they finally verified its positive effect after several months' experiments. In 1986, the drug was first adopted in treating a five year old patient. It turned out to be successful. After eight years of research, Wang's team eventually made the first breakthrough in the battle against APL.
To make sure every APL patient could afford the medicine, Wang has not patented his research result to date.“One cannot be a real doctor if one does not have expertise in medicine，” Wang said in an interview.“However, without a kind heart, a skilled doctor may cause harm to patients.”
Having worked in the field of hematopathology(血液病理学) for over 70 years, Wang has been well recognised for his remarkable contribution to saving lives.

The Notre Dame (巴黎圣母院) fire has been put out, but its spire (尖顶) and a large portion of its wooden roof have been damaged. The terrible destruction causes a sudden sharp pain to people around the world. “What a pity that we cannot see the damaged parts of the wonder anymore.”
But the good news is that there is at least one way of seeing them, namely through a video game called Assassin's Creed：Unity. In this game，the player can travel to one city after another and enter the buildings exactly like what they are in reality, and see Notre Dame as it was before the fire. Further, with virtual reality technology, which is already quite mature, one can even look around the undamaged Notre Dame as if it were still there. Maybe digital technology could help to better protect architectural cultural heritage.
The idea of making digital models of ancient buildings to save their data dates back to the 1990s and the necessary technology has continued to advance since then. By scanning the ancient buildings with lasers, building 3D models with multiple images, as well as measuring everything precisely, engineers can make a copy as accurate as the real one.
As computers and smartphones are hugely popular, the digital model has great useful value. First, it allows tourists to feel the cultural relics without touching them. The virtual tour of Dunhuang Grottoes in Gansu Province is a good example of this as tourists can view the paintings without standing near them. Furthermore, it can make the digitized cultural relics more famous by spreading awareness about them via the Internet. In 2000, a virtual tour of the Great Wall became very popular at the Hannover World Expo, which increased the number of foreign tourists visiting the site in the following years. Above all, it preserves all the information of the cultural relics.
Of course, however precise a model is, it is not the original. Maybe we will have better technologies in the future, but the digital technology offers a practical way to preserve architectural cultural heritage at the moment.
语篇解读：这是一篇说明文。文章讲述了运用现代技术的新手段——数字副本——保护建筑文化遗迹，并说明了这种技术的优点。
32．What can we see about Notre Dame in the game？(　　)
A．The damaged Notre Dame.

[答案]　D
33．What will engineers do to create a digital copy of the ancient buildings？(　　)
A．Build 3D models of full size.
B．Scan the photos of the buildings.

D．Improve the technology needed.
[解析]　细节理解题。由第三段中的“By scanning the ancient buildings with lasers, building 3D models with multiple images, as well as measuring everything precisely, engineers can make a copy as accurate as the real one.”可知工程师会精确测量所有古代建筑副本的零部件来创造古建筑的数字副本。故选C项。
[答案]　C
34．How does the author prove the digital copy has vital practical importance？(　　)
A．By giving examples.
B．By classification.
C．By comparison.
D．By listing data.
[解析]　推理判断题。由第四段可知作者是举了敦煌和长城两个例子，说明数字副本的重要意义。故选A项。
[答案]　A
35．What is the author's attitude towards the application of the technology？(　　)
A．Delighted. B.Supportive.
C．Doubtful. D.Conservative.
[解析]　推理判断题。由最后一段中的“Maybe we will have better technologies in the future, but the digital technology offers a practical way to preserve architectural cultural heritage at the moment.”可推断出作者是持支持的态度。故选B项。

A．Employers benefit from flextime a lot.
B．It's also seen as a family friendly policy.
C．However, flextime may not be applicable to all fields.

After graduating from university, she acquired a broad knowledge of both Chinese and Western medicine through constant learning. Determined to find a cure for malaria, she referred to numerous ancient books of traditional Chinese medicine. After working tirelessly and going through many failures, she eventually discovered artemisinin, the world's most effective drug for fighting malaria, thus saving millions of lives all over the world.

第二节　(满分25分)
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。
Janet couldn't lift spirit all day, for she missed everything in New Jersey. Her family had just moved here from New Jersey, having rented a small restaurant, which was planned to open next Sunday. She helped her parents wash the kitchen supplies in the shiny Dew kitchen.
“I hate this stupid decision. I have lost all my friends in New Jersey. What should I do now？” Janet muttered to herself (喃喃自语)．
“What's up？” her mother asked, and never stopped wiping the table and mopping the floor.
“Nothing，” Janet answered in a low voice. The girl had been complaining about the move but her parents had made the decision ignoring her feelings. And now they were too busy to comfort her. What's worse, the first few days at her new school hadn't been easy, either. She found it hard to talk to the new classmates surrounding her, and even harder to follow the teachers' pace. Faced with so many challenges, she felt depressed and gave a deep sigh. But the moment she saw her hardworking parents, she could do nothing but look forward and stopped her complaints.
On the day of the grand opening, the three were wearing broad smiles, welcoming customers into the restaurant. Even Janet was in high spirits as she rushed around，seating guests, ordering dishes, and serving glasses of water. What a big day for her family!
At one of the tables sat a family with a girl who was about Janet's age. As she filled their glasses, Janet realized the girl was in her class. Janet lowered her head to avoid looking directly into her eyes, and she turned away from the table.
Janet's mother noticed what had happened, and followed Janet to the kitchen.“Honey, what are you doing back here We need you out and you are really a helper.”
注意：
1．续写词数应为150左右；

“Mom, I don't want to be out there. There is a girl from my school！”

[答案]　
“Mom,_I_don't_want_to_be_out_there._There_is_a_girl_from_my_school！” Janet sat in the corner, with her spirit sinking. Feeling Janet was in embarrassment, her mother realized she had ignored Janet's feelings after the move. She expressed her sincere apology to Janet, holding Janet in her arms, and suggested that she make new friends by serving her a lemonade and some cookies. “Taking action is the most effective way to get rid of loneliness！” The instant Janet heard that, her eyes shone with a mixture of excitement and expectation.
Janet_left_the_kitchen_with_a_glass_of_lemonade_and_a_plate_of_cookies. Nervous as she was, she accumulated her courage to approach the table where the girl sat, placing the lemonade and cookies down carefully. She bravely looked at the girl directly into the eyes.“Hello, I'm Janet. Thanks so much for coming to our restaurant！” The girl looked up, with a bright smile on her rosy face, and gave her a big hug. They became close friends from then on. Most importantly, Janet's enthusiasm about new life was increasingly growing.
