In medieval (中世纪的) Italy, Cimabue, the greatest painter at that time, was surprised one day when he came back from his lunch break and discovered a fly was under the nose of a character he had been working on. So he reached out to touch the insect. To his surprise, he found only wet paint. Turning around, he saw that his apprentice (学徒), Giotto di Bondone, was doing everything he could to keep from laughing. Giotto had painted the fly when Cimabue was away, and it looked so real that Cimabue had been completely fooled.
Giotto was born into a poor farming family. Legend has it that one day when Cimabue was walking around the countryside, he spotted a young shepherd (牧羊人) boy. The boy was not tending his sheep. Instead, he was drawing pictures of them, and the sheep he drew were so lifelike that Cimabue stopped to ask the boy his name. The boy replied that it was Giotto, and Cimabue immediately asked him to come to Florence so that the young shepherd could learn how to paint.
In the Middle Ages, an artist not only had to concern himself with things like design and technique, but he also had to learn how to make paints. Almost all artists were men, and they began their apprenticeships at an early age. An apprentice’s job was to copy his master as exactly as he could. The unfortunate result of this imitation was a lack of new ideas.
In fact, art in the Middle Ages remained the same for hundreds of years. The people in paintings didn’t look like real people, and the symbolism of art was often so remote that it must have been difficult for viewers to connect with it on a personal level. Giotto used many techniques that were uncommon at the time to bring the paintings to life for viewers. He painted people the way he saw them, instead of the overly tall people that other artists painted. He created three-dimensional space by using perspective, something that had not been done since Roman times. Finally, he threw out parts of the symbolism associated with medieval painting.
24. Why does the author mention the fly event in paragraph 1
A．To show Cimabue disliked painting flies.
B．To indicate Giotto drew better than Cimabue.
C．To indicate Giotto liked making fun of others.
D．To show Giotto had outstanding painting skills.
25. What is typical of medieval artists
A．Lacking creativity. B．Having an unhappy childhood.
C．Having a short period of apprenticeship. D．Supporting themselves by making paints.
26. What do we learn about Giotto’s painting style
A．He drew extremely tall human figures as other artists did.
B．He kept all traditional medieval symbolic elements.
C．He portrayed human beings based on real appearances.
D．He only painted sheep and small animals in his works.
27. What is the last paragraph mainly about
A．Giotto’s study on medieval painting.
B．Giotto’s efforts to change art in the Middle Ages.
C．The most popular forms of painting in the Middle Ages.
D．The competition between Giotto and other medieval artists.

By age 2, most kids know how to play pretend. They turn their bedrooms into faraway castles and hold make-believe tea parties. The ability to make something out of nothing may seem uniquely human. Now, for the first time, an experiment hints that an ape (猿) living under human care can have an imagination.
Kanzi is an ape who was raised in a lab and became a star at communicating with humans using graphic symbols. Scientists wondered whether Kanzi had the capacity to play pretend — that is, act like something is real while knowing it’s not. They adapted the playbook for studying young children to stage a juice party for Kanzi. They poured imaginary juice into two cups and then pretended to empty just one. They asked Kanzi which cup he wanted, and he pointed to the cup still containing pretend juice 68% of the time.
To make sure Kanzi wasn’t confusing real with fake (假的), they also ran a test with actual juice. “Kanzi chose the real juice over the pretend almost 80% of the time, which suggests that he really can tell the difference between real juice and imaginary juice,” said Amalia Bastos, a study co-author from the University of St. Andrews in Scotland.
But not all scientists are convinced that Kanzi is playing pretend as humans do. “There’s a difference between imagining juice being poured into a cup and maintaining the pretense that it’s real,” said Duke University comparative psychologist Michael Tomasello. “To be convinced of that, I would need to see Kanzi actually pretend to pour water into a container himself,” Tomasello wrote in an email.
Many great ape species in the wild are critically endangered, and it’ll take more research to understand what their minds are capable of. “Kanzi opened this path for a lot of future studies,” Bastos said.
28. What was Kanzi asked to do in the first test
A．To read a playbook. B．To choose a certain cup.
C．To pour imaginary juice. D．To identify graphic symbols.
29. Why did scientists experiment with real juice on Kanzi
A．To prove Kanzi has emotions.
B．To explore Kanzi’s preference for juice.
C．To confirm Kanzi can tell real from fake.
D．To train Kanzi’s ability to make choices.
30. What does Michael Tomasello probably agree with
A．Imagination equals pretense.
B．Kanzi represents ape intelligence.
C．Kanzi may not have an imagination.
D．This experiment benefits future studies.
31. What is the best title for the text
A．Kanzi: A Good Ape Pretender.
B．The Mystery of Ape Imagination Solved.
C．The Mind of a Human-Raised Ape Revealed.
D．A Pretend Juice Party: Ape Imagination Tested.
D
“If the self or person of today, and that of tomorrow, are not the same, but only like persons, the person of today is really no more interested in what will befall (降临到……头上) the person of tomorrow, than in what will befall any other person,” Joseph Butler, a well-known philosopher wrote in 1736.
The theory caught the attention of a researcher called Hal Hershfield, who suspected that a disconnection from our future selves might explain many unreasonable elements of human behaviour including our unwillingness to exercise often.
To find out, Hershfield first had to find a way to measure someone’s “future self continuity”. He settled on a simple graphic that presented pairs of circles representing the current self, and a future self. The circles overlapped (重叠) to varying degrees, and the participants had to choose which pair described how similar and how connected they felt to a future self 10 years from now.
He then compared these responses to his participants’ real-life behavior. Hershfield first looked at his participants’ real-life savings and he found that the more the participant felt connected to their future self, the more money they had ready squirrelled away. What’s more, people who score highly on the future self-continuity measure have higher moral standards than the people who struggle to identify with their future selves.
Hershfield confirmed that someone’s (in)ability to identify with their future self can have long-term consequences for their overall wellbeing and that our sense of connection to our future selves can be strengthened. You might consider a simple imaginative exercise in which you write a letter to yourself 20 years from now, describing what is most important for you now and your plans for the coming decades.
It might seem strange to start a “conversation” with an imagined person but once your future self becomes alive in your mind, you may find it much easier to make the small personal sacrifices that are essential to preserve your wellbeing.
32. What do we learn about the assumed person described by Joseph Butler
A．He cares equally about strangers and his future self.
B．He rarely worries about the future results of his choices.
C．He attaches great importance to his long-term wellbeing.
D．He always tries to build a close bond with his future self.
33. What were the participants asked to do in the circle test
A．Calculating the overlapping area of each pair of circles.
B．Drawing various circles to stand for their past and future selves.
C．Describing the difference between current and future selves in words.
D．Selecting the pair of circles matching their sense of connection to future selves.
34. Which of the following best explains “squirrelled away” underlined in Paragraph 4
A．Set aside. B．Taken out. C．Used up. D．Given away.
35. What is a way to lead a happier life according to the text
A．Considering your future self. B．Being grateful for what you have.
C．Reflecting on your previous behavior. D．Making personal sacrifices to help others.

67. 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。
John was born weak, always doing poorly in physical fitness. Since he was a child, he has been unwilling to take part in physical exercise. He got tired easily even after a short run, and he was often left behind by his classmates in PE classes, which made him the laughingstock of the class sometimes. This made him feel inferior and unconfident, and he always tried to avoid all kinds of sports activities, even skipping PE classes occasionally to hide in the classroom and do homework.
When his school held a 3000-meter long-distance running challenge, all his classmates were enthusiastic about signing up. They talked about their training plans excitedly and looked forward to the competition, cheering each other on to prepare well. The playground was full of their laughter and shouts every afternoon after school.
Some classmates even formed training groups to practice together after school, encouraging each other to keep going when they felt tired. They shared their training experience and helped each other improve their running speed. But John was afraid to take part in it, hiding his desire to try deep in his heart. He thought he could not finish the tough race at all, and he hid in the corner alone, looking at his classmates’ excited faces, feeling more and more low-spirited, and even his eyes were filled with disappointment. He felt that he was not good at anything and could not live up to others’ expectations, and he began to doubt himself more and more.
His good friend Jack, who knew him well, found his hesitation and low spirits. He sat down with him, patted his shoulder gently, and encouraged him to challenge himself, saying that success is not about winning or getting a prize, but about persisting to the end. With Jack’s sincere encouragement, John finally summoned up his courage and decided to sign up, determined to try his best to finish the race, no matter what the result was.
注意：
1．续写词数应为150左右；

Ranking Three Learning Abilities
From my perspective, the three abilities should be ranked as practical application, independent thinking and collaborative learning.
First, practical application turns knowledge into real value, which is the final goal of learning. Without practice, all theories are empty. Next comes independent thinking. It helps us judge information objectively instead of following others blindly. Cooperative learning ranks third. It only works well on the basis of independent thinking and practical ability.
Only balanced development of the three abilities can prepare us well for future society.
67.读后续写范文
Paragraph 1: To prepare for the challenge, John made a detailed training plan. He got up half an hour early every morning to jog around the playground. At first, he could only run a short distance before gasping for breath. Jack accompanied him every day, adjusting the pace and cheering him up. Gradually, John built up his strength and endurance. He also kept a small notebook to record his progress every day, seeing clear improvement little by little. All the hard training filled him with confidence he had never owned before.
Paragraph 2: The day of the challenge arrived. The starting line was crowded with energetic runners. When the signal went off, John kept his steady pace instead of rushing ahead. Halfway through the race, exhaustion swept over him and he wanted to stop. But the loud cheers from Jack and his classmates pushed him forward. He held on step by step and finally crossed the finishing line. Though he didn’t win a prize, everyone surrounded him and praised his persistence. John realized that true victory lies in daring to challenge himself.
