A lot of people are scared of spiders (蜘蛛) and consider their webs to be dirt. But, growing up in Argentina and Italy, I remember seeing webs in the corners of my house, and thinking they were gorgeous. Today I create works of art using these beautiful structures.
In my studio, I have a collection of spider webs and hundreds of different spiders. I spend a lot of time experimenting with them. I put a spider in a box and observe how it goes about constructing its web. I sometimes turn the box on its side to see how the spider reacts. Sometimes I put another spider in the box to see how it works with the structure the last one left in place. It may ignore that web and start again from scratch (从头开始) or begin adding to it.
I worked on digitizing webs. Though I see myself as an artist, I actually trained as an architect and the idea is to compare the properties of spiders’ webs with architectural structures to see if there are any similarities.
Of the thousands of species around the world, the one that interests me the most is the Stegodyphus dumicola. In groups, they make thousands of single threads, which are then entangled (缠) into a giant web that can lift the spiders straight up and transport them away. It is known as “ballooning”. During the UN Climate Change Conference in Paris, for example, I exhibited the vast “aerocene” globes based on it. They aren’t sculptures but rather air-filled bubbles (气泡) that might one day float around the world, powered only by wind and the heat of the sun. I use them to challenge popular ideas about energy use and transportation.
My ambition is to take my work with spiders to the International Space Station, to conduct live experiments to see how they might behave and how they would build webs in a new environment without gravity. I am speaking to NASA about it. I hope to turn them into spidernauts.
41. What does the underlined word “gorgeous” in paragraph 1 probably mean
A. Complex. B. Beautiful. C. Annoying. D. Strange.
42. What is Para. 2 mainly about
A. How the author produced digitized webs.
B. How the author collected different spiders.
C. How the author observed spiders constructing webs.
D. How the author developed an interest in spiders’ webs.
43. What can be inferred from the passage
A. The author doesn’t have many spiders to experiment with.
B. Spiders often show no interest in the web left by other ones.
C. There are no similarities between the properties of spiders’ webs and architectural structures.
D. The author’s research interest has a lot to do with his life experience.
44. What can we learn about vast “aerocene” globes in Para. 3
A. They take inspiration from a type of spider’s web.
B. They are already powered by wind and the heat of the sun.
C. They can float around the world freely now.
D. They support popular ideas about energy use.
45. What is the author’s great goal
A. Becoming an astronaut. B. Experimenting with spiders in space.
C. Coming up with smart strategies against climate change.
D. Challenging popular ideas about energy use.
C
Thanks to social media, we are more active in our virtual world than we are in real life. Whether we are out with friends or sitting at home, we are glued to our mobile phones. We document almost everything we do, cook, and eat—but not without editing first and adding some filters (滤镜). While you might be engaging in this behaviour for fun, researchers from Florida State University, revealed a direct link between posting edited photos on Instagram and risk factors for eating disorders.
Specifically, digitally editing pictures to improve personal appearance before posting them on Instagram increased weight and shape concerns in college students. Posting photos contributed to greater anxiety and increased urges to restrict food intake and exercise compared with not posting photos.
“As more people turn to social media to stay connected, it’s critically important to let others see you as you pared with edited photos, we saw no decrease in the number of likes or comments for unedited photos on Instagram; knowing this could reduce harmful pressures to change how you look,” said co-author Pamela K Keel.
Too much social media use has long been associated with promoting disordered eating behaviours as well as other mental health issues. So, using a two-stage design, the present study tried to figure out how posting edited photos relates to eating disorders, as well as anxiety and depressive symptoms (抑郁症状), in college students.
Researchers did a two-stage study on undergraduates. In stage one, they studied 2,485 college students. They wanted to find out if there was a link between posting edited photos online and people’s mental health. In stage two, they chose 80 students from the first group. All of these students were in favor of posting edited photos and they were willing to take part in the follow-up experiment. This time, the team looked into the connection between posting edited photos and risk factors for eating disorders.
The findings showed that those who supported posting edited photos reported greater disordered eating behaviours and anxiety than those who did not, but no differences were found for depressive symptoms.
46. Why does the author mention people’s obsession with phones in Para. 1
A. To lead up to the research topic.
B. To describe various leisure activities online.
C. To introduce his attitude towards social media.
D. To explain the way people document their lives.
47. According to Para. 2, posting editing pictures on Instagram may make college students ______.
A. pay more attention to their clothes
B. spend more money on their food intake
C. worry more about their weight and shape
D. show more interest in how to edit pictures better
48. Which statement will Pamela probably agree with
A. Instagram users prefer edited photos.
B. It is critically vital to be seen on social media.
C. People’s connections on Instagram are stronger.
D. Editing photos has no impact on popularity levels.
49. What did the two-stage study show
A. Most college students suffered from eating disorders.
B. Quite a number of undergraduates supported posting edited photos.
C. No signs of depression were found among the students in stage two.
D. Students who liked posting edited photos had better mental health.
50. Where can the passage be found
A. In a book review. B. In a health magazine. C. In a company brochure. D. In a photography guide.

第一节：阅读表达（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）
Six-year-old Zuriel stood in the school lunch queue and looked at the vegetable noodles. “I don’t want to eat that,” he grumbled, looking unhappy. “There are things in it I’ve never tasted before.” Seven-year-old Ali, standing nearby, overheard. He said, “But I cooked it this morning. The vegetables are really fun and exciting.” He looked into Zuriel’s eyes. “Honestly.” Zuriel turned back to the vegetable noodles. “Oh. OK. I’ll try it then.”
Greenside Primary School is an inner-city London state school whose alternative curriculum revolves around (以……为中心) food. But they start with the basics, in their own vegetable garden, where the children grow, pick and cook their own vegetarian school lunches. The school also has a four-by-six-metre field, where the children sow (播种) and harvest wheat to make their own bread. On Friday afternoons, the queue to buy freshly baked bread from the school’s micro-bakery snakes around the playground. A share is taken by the pupils to local food banks.
“It’s vital children engage in and understand how food is grown and made,” said Karen Bastick-Styles, executive head at Greenside. “To save the planet, we need to eat healthily and our farming needs to be environmentally friendly. Children can only grow into adults who support that, if they are educated about it.” she added.
Struggling with living costs, schools serve pupils microwaved and cold meals. Campaigner Jamie Oliver wants more kids to get free school meals, yet the government only gives each English state school 250 for healthy eating education.
Gemma Foxcroft from Cracking Good Food points to the fact that at least 64% of adults and 40% of children in the UK are overweight. “We see whole generations of families who don’t know how to cook, so kids can hardly learn to cook without school lessons,” she said. “But we know we can inspire young minds if we’re given the chance.”
