From early times, man has been interested in art. People have often worked together to collect and save the world's art treasures. Fine art treasures from many countries are kept in an art museum called the Louvre (罗浮宫) in Paris, France. The works of art have been collected by the people of France over many centuries. It is the biggest art museum in the world. The Louvre has not always been a museum. The first building was a fort. In 1190, it was the king's castle with high walls and a round lower, which had a river around it to keep out the enemies. Over the years, the number of buildings around the castle grew. By 1350, the castle was no longer needed as a fort. The Louvre became a palace home for French kings and queens.
During times of peace, new treasures were brought in. During the days of war, many treasures were stolen, and the buildings were damaged.
When Francis I became King of France in 1515, he brought in many artists from other countries. One of the artists was Leonardo da Vinci from Italy. Da Vinci's "Mona Lisa" is the best known painting in the museum today. In 1793, the Louvre became a public museum. It is a place where art treasures are kept for everyone to enjoy. Every year millions of people from all over the world come to the Louvre to see the masterpieces.

Have you ever wondered when dogs first became "man's best friend" and the world's favourite pet If you have then you're not alone. When and where dogs first began living side-by-side with humans are questions that have stirred hot debate among scientists. There are a few hard facts that all agree on. These include that dogs were once wolves and they were the first animal to be domesticated (驯养) by humans. They came to life some 15, 000 years ago, before the dawn of agriculture.
Beyond that, there is little agreement. The earliest bones found that are unquestionable clogs and not wolves date from 14,000 years ago. However, 30,000-year-old skulls (头骨) have been discovered in France and Belgium that are not pure wolves and that some scientists think could be dogs.
With such puzzling evidence, many scientists are now turning to DNA to find out when and where dogs were first domesticated. In one research project, tens of thousands of blood samples have been taken from street dogs around the world. The plan is to compare them with those of wolves. It's even possible to analyse DNA from ancient bones. Tiny pieces of the 30,000-year-old skulls mentioned earlier are currently being studied, and another DNA study has already shown that ancient dogs preserved in the Alaskan ice fields evolved (进化) from Asian wolves, not American ones.
Indeed, the ancient DNA may turn out to be more informative than the DNA of living dogs. Because dogs have accompanied humans around the world for thousands of years, their current distribution may tell us very little of their origins. This is why different groups of scientists believe that dogs variously originated in eastern Asia, Mongolia, Siberia, Europe or Africa.
But why were the animals domesticated in the first place The most recent theory, is that dogs domesticated themselves, originally living in and around our ancient villages to eat any food thrown out. Today, this is a way of life still shared by three quarters of a billion unowned dogs worldwide.
1.Which of the following is the statement generally agreed on by scientists studying dogs
A.They originally were used as farm animals.
B.They evolved from wolves found in Europe.
C.They helped the development of agriculture.
D.They were the first animal to be trained by humans.
2.Why does the writer first mention the 30,000-year-old animals' skulls
A.To show that dogs were much larger in the past.
B.To prove that dogs developed from Asian wolves.
C.To suggest that dogs may have evolved much earlier.
D.To argue that dogs were first kept in France and Belgium.
3.How did scientists determine the origins of the ancient dogs found in Alaska
A.By examining the animals' DNA.
B.By analyzing the age of their bone.
C.By studying the shape of their skulls.
D.By comparing them with modem dogs.
4.Why did dogs start living with humans
A.Because they were attracted by food.
B.Because they were trapped by humans.
C.Because they couldn't survive in the wild.
D.Because they were trained to protect the villages.
D
Zebra crossings (斑马线) - the alternating dark and light stripes on the road surface — are meant to remind drivers that pedestrians may be trying to get across. Unfortunately, they are not very effective. A 1998 study done by the Department of Traffic Planning and Engineering at Sweden's Lund University showed that three out of four drivers kept the same speed or even speeded up as they were approaching a crossing. Even worse Only 5% stopped even when they saw someone trying to get across.
Now a mother-daughter team in Ahmedabad, India has come up with a clever way to get drivers to pay more attention — a 3D zebra crossing with an optical illusion (视错觉). Artists Saumya Pandya Thakkar and Shakuntala Pandya were asked to paint the crosswalks by IL&FS, an Indian company that manages the highways in Ahmedabad. The corporation was looking for a creative solution to help the city's residents to cross the busy accident-prone (易出事故的) roads safely. Thakkar and Pandya, who had previously seen images of 3D zebra crossings that gave drivers the illusion of logs of wood on the streets in Taizhou, China, decided to test if a similar way would work in India,
Sure enough, in the six months when the 3D crosswalks have been painted across four of the city's most dangerous highways, there have been no accidents reported! The artists say that while it may appear that the zebra crossing could cause the drivers to brake suddenly and endanger the vehicles behind, such is not the case. Because of the way the human eye works, the illusion is only visible from a distance. As they get closer, the painting looks just like any other ordinary zebra crossing. The creators hope that their smart design will become increasingly common throughout India and perhaps even the world. So let's look forward to it.
1.What can we learn from the first paragraph
A.Most drivers will slow down at zebra crossings.
B.Common zebra crossings don't function well.
C.Drivers have to stop when approaching zebra crossings.
D.About 95% of the drivers choose to speed up when approaching zebra crossings.
2.Why do drivers seeing the 3D zebra crossings slow down according to Para. 2
A.Because the drivers consider the safety of pedestrians.
B.Because the drivers mistake them for logs of wood on the streets.
C.Because the drivers are afraid of being fined for breaking the traffic rules.
D.Because the drivers don't want to brake suddenly and endanger the vehicles behind.
3.The last paragraph is mainly about .
A.the theory of the 3D zebra crossings
B.the popularity of the 3D zebra crossings
C.the shortcoming of the 3D zebra crossings
D.the positive effect of the 3D zebra crossings
4.What is the authors attitude towards the 3D zebra crossings
A.Cautious.
B.Doubtful.
C.Approving.
D.Disapproving.
二、根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项,选项中有两项为多余选项。

六、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。
When I saw her tonight she smiled and recognized me. I smiled back at her. She looked relaxed even though she was still busy doing her job. I had noticed her several times this last few months and she always looked so happy. Tonight when I talked with her I noticed her name tag. Her name is Pamela.
Pamela works at the express checkouts in a busy supermarket. She deals with problems when the self-service checkout experiences a problem (no price on product, machine problems, etc.). She monitors these checkouts and usually has hardly dealt with one complaint before another is created.
When I first talked to Pamela, I had called her to the checkout I was using. There wasn't any problem with the checkout though. My problem, that is to say, my concern was about Pamela. She looked tired and was under a lot of stress as she quickly moved from one checkout to the next. It's a bit of a fire-fighting job.
I told Pamela that she needed to slow down. I told her she wasn't getting paid enough to be working as hard as she was working. I told her that we, the customers, could wait and it was very bad for her health to be putting herself under such pressure. I told her that our expectations were not as hard as the ones she set for herself. Pamela told me she would slow down. I could tell she was touched that not only did I notice her stress but I chose to talk to her about it and was concerned for her health. I gently told her things had to change. I told her I would be looking out for her in future to see if she had taken my advice on board. She smiled and said, "I promise that I will next time."
注意:
1. 续写词数应为150左右;
2. 请按如下格式作答。
Paragraph 1:
When I saw her she was still doing her job but there was such a difference.
_______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Paragraph 2:
I am proud of myself.
_______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

五、答案：
Dear Xiao Wang,
I have received and read your letter, in which you mentioned that you wanted to lose weight by dieting.
It is natural that young girls at your age hope to look beautiful. However, from my point of view, health is more important than beauty. For a student, studying is the first thing to consider while appearance is the second. So do not let others' opinions have an impact on your normal life. Besides, if you do want to lose weight, it is a good idea to do it by getting more exercise, changing unhealthy eating habits and having a good sleep. The most important thing is that you should keep a healthy state of mind, as it will help with your studies, and will also help you overcome difficulties in dieting.
I hope my advice will be helpful to you and I'm looking forward to your next letter.
Yours,
Li Hua
六、答案：
Paragraph 1:
When I saw her she was still doing her job but there was such a difference. I praised the new her. Pamela said that other customers would have to wait for their turn while she dealt with another customer. She told me the change had significantly improved her health. She added that she's also shared what I said with her colleagues. As I walked away from Pamela my heart was lightened. She has taken my advice on board and tried to slow down her working pace. A day's work means just that. It doesn't mean that one should put two days' work into one day.
Paragraph 2:
I am proud of myself. Not only have I caused Pamela to reflect on the pressure she was putting herself under, but also she has encouraged her colleagues in the supermarket to do the same in turn. I really feel very happy and satisfied for my concern and act of kindness do make a difference to those in need. It's just a simple act of love that costs no money. So my friends, our kindness doesn't have to be material, but just loving. Bless you all for all you do for others.

From early times, man has been interested in art. People have often worked together to collect and save the world's art treasures. Fine art treasures from many countries are kept in an art museum called the Louvre (罗浮宫) in Paris, France. The works of art have been collected by the people of France over many centuries. It is the biggest art museum in the world. The Louvre has not always been a museum. The first building was a fort. In 1190, it was the king's castle with high walls and a round lower, which had a river around it to keep out the enemies. Over the years, the number of buildings around the castle grew. By 1350, the castle was no longer needed as a fort. The Louvre became a palace home for French kings and queens.
During times of peace, new treasures were brought in. During the days of war, many treasures were stolen, and the buildings were damaged.
When Francis I became King of France in 1515, he brought in many artists from other countries. One of the artists was Leonardo da Vinci from Italy. Da Vinci's "Mona Lisa" is the best known painting in the museum today. In 1793, the Louvre became a public museum. It is a place where art treasures are kept for everyone to enjoy. Every year millions of people from all over the world come to the Louvre to see the masterpieces.

Have you ever wondered when dogs first became "man's best friend" and the world's favourite pet If you have then you're not alone. When and where dogs first began living side-by-side with humans are questions that have stirred hot debate among scientists. There are a few hard facts that all agree on. These include that dogs were once wolves and they were the first animal to be domesticated (驯养) by humans. They came to life some 15, 000 years ago, before the dawn of agriculture.
Beyond that, there is little agreement. The earliest bones found that are unquestionable clogs and not wolves date from 14,000 years ago. However, 30,000-year-old skulls (头骨) have been discovered in France and Belgium that are not pure wolves and that some scientists think could be dogs.
With such puzzling evidence, many scientists are now turning to DNA to find out when and where dogs were first domesticated. In one research project, tens of thousands of blood samples have been taken from street dogs around the world. The plan is to compare them with those of wolves. It's even possible to analyse DNA from ancient bones. Tiny pieces of the 30,000-year-old skulls mentioned earlier are currently being studied, and another DNA study has already shown that ancient dogs preserved in the Alaskan ice fields evolved (进化) from Asian wolves, not American ones.
Indeed, the ancient DNA may turn out to be more informative than the DNA of living dogs. Because dogs have accompanied humans around the world for thousands of years, their current distribution may tell us very little of their origins. This is why different groups of scientists believe that dogs variously originated in eastern Asia, Mongolia, Siberia, Europe or Africa.
But why were the animals domesticated in the first place The most recent theory, is that dogs domesticated themselves, originally living in and around our ancient villages to eat any food thrown out. Today, this is a way of life still shared by three quarters of a billion unowned dogs worldwide.
1.Which of the following is the statement generally agreed on by scientists studying dogs
A.They originally were used as farm animals.
B.They evolved from wolves found in Europe.
C.They helped the development of agriculture.
D.They were the first animal to be trained by humans.
2.Why does the writer first mention the 30,000-year-old animals' skulls
A.To show that dogs were much larger in the past.
B.To prove that dogs developed from Asian wolves.
C.To suggest that dogs may have evolved much earlier.
D.To argue that dogs were first kept in France and Belgium.
3.How did scientists determine the origins of the ancient dogs found in Alaska
A.By examining the animals' DNA.
B.By analyzing the age of their bone.
C.By studying the shape of their skulls.
D.By comparing them with modem dogs.
4.Why did dogs start living with humans
A.Because they were attracted by food.
B.Because they were trapped by humans.
C.Because they couldn't survive in the wild.
D.Because they were trained to protect the villages.

Zebra crossings (斑马线) - the alternating dark and light stripes on the road surface — are meant to remind drivers that pedestrians may be trying to get across. Unfortunately, they are not very effective. A 1998 study done by the Department of Traffic Planning and Engineering at Sweden's Lund University showed that three out of four drivers kept the same speed or even speeded up as they were approaching a crossing. Even worse Only 5% stopped even when they saw someone trying to get across.
Now a mother-daughter team in Ahmedabad, India has come up with a clever way to get drivers to pay more attention — a 3D zebra crossing with an optical illusion (视错觉). Artists Saumya Pandya Thakkar and Shakuntala Pandya were asked to paint the crosswalks by IL&FS, an Indian company that manages the highways in Ahmedabad. The corporation was looking for a creative solution to help the city's residents to cross the busy accident-prone (易出事故的) roads safely. Thakkar and Pandya, who had previously seen images of 3D zebra crossings that gave drivers the illusion of logs of wood on the streets in Taizhou, China, decided to test if a similar way would work in India,
Sure enough, in the six months when the 3D crosswalks have been painted across four of the city's most dangerous highways, there have been no accidents reported! The artists say that while it may appear that the zebra crossing could cause the drivers to brake suddenly and endanger the vehicles behind, such is not the case. Because of the way the human eye works, the illusion is only visible from a distance. As they get closer, the painting looks just like any other ordinary zebra crossing. The creators hope that their smart design will become increasingly common throughout India and perhaps even the world. So let's look forward to it.
1.What can we learn from the first paragraph
A.Most drivers will slow down at zebra crossings.
B.Common zebra crossings don't function well.
C.Drivers have to stop when approaching zebra crossings.
D.About 95% of the drivers choose to speed up when approaching zebra crossings.
2.Why do drivers seeing the 3D zebra crossings slow down according to Para. 2
A.Because the drivers consider the safety of pedestrians.
B.Because the drivers mistake them for logs of wood on the streets.
C.Because the drivers are afraid of being fined for breaking the traffic rules.
D.Because the drivers don't want to brake suddenly and endanger the vehicles behind.
3.The last paragraph is mainly about .
A.the theory of the 3D zebra crossings
B.the popularity of the 3D zebra crossings
C.the shortcoming of the 3D zebra crossings
D.the positive effect of the 3D zebra crossings
4.What is the authors attitude towards the 3D zebra crossings
A.Cautious.
B.Doubtful.
C.Approving.
D.Disapproving.

六、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。
When I saw her tonight she smiled and recognized me. I smiled back at her. She looked relaxed even though she was still busy doing her job. I had noticed her several times this last few months and she always looked so happy. Tonight when I talked with her I noticed her name tag. Her name is Pamela.
Pamela works at the express checkouts in a busy supermarket. She deals with problems when the self-service checkout experiences a problem (no price on product, machine problems, etc.). She monitors these checkouts and usually has hardly dealt with one complaint before another is created.
When I first talked to Pamela, I had called her to the checkout I was using. There wasn't any problem with the checkout though. My problem, that is to say, my concern was about Pamela. She looked tired and was under a lot of stress as she quickly moved from one checkout to the next. It's a bit of a fire-fighting job.
I told Pamela that she needed to slow down. I told her she wasn't getting paid enough to be working as hard as she was working. I told her that we, the customers, could wait and it was very bad for her health to be putting herself under such pressure. I told her that our expectations were not as hard as the ones she set for herself. Pamela told me she would slow down. I could tell she was touched that not only did I notice her stress but I chose to talk to her about it and was concerned for her health. I gently told her things had to change. I told her I would be looking out for her in future to see if she had taken my advice on board. She smiled and said, "I promise that I will next time."
注意:
1. 续写词数应为150左右;
2. 请按如下格式作答。
Paragraph 1:
When I saw her she was still doing her job but there was such a difference.
_______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Paragraph 2:
I am proud of myself.
_______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

五、答案：
Dear Xiao Wang,
I have received and read your letter, in which you mentioned that you wanted to lose weight by dieting.
It is natural that young girls at your age hope to look beautiful. However, from my point of view, health is more important than beauty. For a student, studying is the first thing to consider while appearance is the second. So do not let others' opinions have an impact on your normal life. Besides, if you do want to lose weight, it is a good idea to do it by getting more exercise, changing unhealthy eating habits and having a good sleep. The most important thing is that you should keep a healthy state of mind, as it will help with your studies, and will also help you overcome difficulties in dieting.
I hope my advice will be helpful to you and I'm looking forward to your next letter.
Yours,
Li Hua
六、答案：
Paragraph 1:
When I saw her she was still doing her job but there was such a difference. I praised the new her. Pamela said that other customers would have to wait for their turn while she dealt with another customer. She told me the change had significantly improved her health. She added that she's also shared what I said with her colleagues. As I walked away from Pamela my heart was lightened. She has taken my advice on board and tried to slow down her working pace. A day's work means just that. It doesn't mean that one should put two days' work into one day.
Paragraph 2:
I am proud of myself. Not only have I caused Pamela to reflect on the pressure she was putting herself under, but also she has encouraged her colleagues in the supermarket to do the same in turn. I really feel very happy and satisfied for my concern and act of kindness do make a difference to those in need. It's just a simple act of love that costs no money. So my friends, our kindness doesn't have to be material, but just loving. Bless you all for all you do for others.
