Artwork is lovely to look at and it has the power to make people feel and think differently. But

may experience stronger feelings Scientists carried out a study at the Mauritsluis Museum, the
home to Girl with a Pearl Earring, a very famous painting.

volunteers to look at the real paintings on show, and then at photos of the art works in the museum
shop. ② It showed that their reactions were 10 times stronger when they looked at the real
paintings.

“sustained attentional cycle” when they watch a certain painting. The girl’s left eye first drew the

movements repeated in a cycle. Each time they finished the cycle, their focus became stronger and
their connection with Girl with a Pearl Earring was deeper.

Long ago, in ancient China, there was a story about the invention of silk. People believed that
silk was first invented by Leizu, the wife of the Yellow Emperor. Leizu learned how to make
cocoons（蚕茧）into soft and strong cloth. This magical cloth became known as “silk”, and it was
so valuable that it was called “China’s gold”. Following the emperor’s orders, the Chinese kept the
secret of making silk for centuries.
But then, something amazing happened! During the Han Dynasty, the brave officer Zhang
Qian traveled west as far as Central Asia and brought silk there. As years passed by, silk became so
important that the trade road from Europe to China got its name—the Silk Road.
The silk Road became a busy highway for traders who carried things across deserts and
mountains. From China, people sold silk and tea. In return, they received treasures such as spices
（香料） , gold and silver from the West. At the very beginning, it was mainly about trade; then
people began to share ideas, technologies and cultures. For example, Chinese inventions like the
papermaking technique were spread to the West, while new ideas about math and science came to
China.
Most importantly, the Silk Road helped different cultures learn from each other. Art, music
and even language were shared along this ancient road. In places like Mogao Caves in China, you
can see how art pieces combined Eastern and Western styles into something distinctive. They
cannot be seen anywhere else.
The story of the Silk Road tells us how people from faraway lands could become friends by
trading and sharing ideas. Today, we remember the Silk Road as one of the greatest examples of
cooperation and exchange in history. It shows us how important it is to learn about and respect each
other’s traditions, and that different cultures can work together to create amazing things.

C. Zhang Qian. D. The Yellow Emperor.

①Zhang Qian traveled west with silk.
②Art and language were shared along the Silk Road.
③Traders from China and the West exchanged things.
④The Chinese were ordered to keep the secret of making silk.
A.①→④→③→② B.①→③→④→②
C.④→①→③→② D.④→③→②→①
34. Why does the writer mention Mogao Caves in Paragraph 4
A. To show how beautiful the ancient Chinese paintings are.
B. To praise the attractiveness of ancient Chinese artworks.

第二节 回答问题（共 5小题；每小题 2分，满分 10分）
Last year, I left my job and went to work without pay in the rainforest. So many people have
said to me, “I would love to do something like that.” And I say, “If you want to, just do it.” They
always reply, “I cannot.” But, if you really want to do it, there are ways to make it happen.
After three days’ training, I started work on an environmental project with a group of young
people. The living place was very basic and we had to build our own place to sleep. This included a
simple bed, a cloth roof and a net to keep insects out.
It was never dangerous there, but it was very challenging. There were things that we didn’t
think we would manage to do, but we did. I had some of my worst moments there, but also some of
my best—it made me feel alive. I didn’t miss my home as much as I thought. We had food, water,
somewhere to stay, about three sets of clothes and really good friends. We were in the most
beautiful place and we had things to keep us busy. We didn’t need any more.
One of the volunteers said, “Before we came here, it was really important to me what clothes I
wore and who my friends were. I was always thinking about shoes, but really none of that matters.
Here, people accept me for who I am, what I believe and think, not for what kind of clothes I’ve
got.” What she said truly came from the bottom of my heart.
