A European Union program is letting blind people experience famous paintings for the first time. It uses three dimensional (3-D) printing to re-create famous paintings so that they can be touched.
One painting printed with the new technology is Gustav Klimt’s “The Kiss.” It is a popular attraction at the Belvedere Museum in Vienna, Austria. The painting shows a man and a woman standing in a field filled with flowers. They are wearing gold robes and have their arms around each other. The man leans down to kiss the woman.
Klimt finished the painting in 1908. Until now, people who have trouble seeing can not enjoy the artwork. But thanks to the reproduction (复制品) they can touch the piece and feel the ridges (隆起) and depressions (凹地). Andreas Reichinger started making 3-D versions of artwork in 2010. He said this reproduction was his most difficult project because the couple’s robes are so detailed (精细的).
Dominika Raditsch is a blind museum visitor. She touched the reproduction. As she moved her hands around it, she said, “Exactly, can you see these There are so many details.” Raditsch said she can imagine what the original painting looks like when she touches the reproduction. “It’s somehow round. You can feel it. It comes with it. And in many places it’s so smooth. And then I think to myself: it probably shines too!” Raditsch said.
The Belvedere is not the only museum to have 3-D versions of its artwork. Some of the pieces at the Prado, in Madrid, Spain, have reproductions that can be touched. But the piece in Vienna has one special part: it is made with widely available 3-D printing technology. That means one day, blind art fans anywhere in the world could download the source files and print the reproductions themselves.
1. What is “The Kiss”
A. A European Union project. B. A popular painting
C. A 3-D technology. D. A famous museum.
2. Why did Reichinger say this reproduction was difficult to finish
A. The painting was reproduced detailedly.
B. The original artwork was made in 1908.
C. Blind art fans can’t download the source files.
D. The 3-D technology is not available.
3. What is the best title for the text

B. How to Reproduce the World-famous Paintings
C. A Special Museum for Art Fans in Vienna, Austria
D 3-D Printing Lets the Blind Experience Famous Paintings

Black holes were first put forward by Albert Einstein in 1916. However, scientists had not proved their directly. That changed on April 10, 2019, with the release of the first photo of a black hole in the center of the galaxy (星系)M87, located 55 million light years from Earth.
The photo does not show the black hole itself. That's because they are black and so they can't be seen in space.the scientists used radio signals to capture (拍摄)the black hole's "shadow" —the bright ring that forms around its edge, when light bends because of the extreme gravity around the hole.
The M87 black hole, believed to have a mass 6.5 billion times that of our sun, was captured using the Event Horizon Telescope (EHT)—a network of eight powerful telescopes(望远镜.)The telescopes，located in Hawaii, Arizona , Chile, Mexico, Spain and Antarctica, separately captured the black holl' s radio signals over four nights in April 2017, when the weather was fine in all six places. The data was transpcried to a centre where it was dealt with by a supercomputer to form the photo of the black hole's shadow. The researchers say while the photo is slightly blurry, future photos will be clearer as more telescopes are added to the EHT. Black ' holes are not easy to capture on camera because they are surrounded by thick dusty and hot gases.
Black holes are areas in space where the pulling strength of gravity is so powerful that even light is unable to escape. They can be different widely in size and mass. The smallest, called "primordial" black holes are as small as a single atom but with a mass of a big mountain. " Stellar'' black holes, which are the most common, have a diameter (直径)of about 10 miles and a mass 20 times that of our sun. The largest or “supermassive'' black holes, similar to that of M87's, can have a mass . greater than millions, or even billions of suns combined.
12. What can we infer from the first paragraph
A. Einstein's predicticn about black holes is right.
B. Einstein captured the black hole a century ago.
C. Scientists haven't proved black holes' presence.
D. The black hole has been known for centuries.
13. What did the scientists use to capture the black hole's "shadow"
A. Moon light. B. Natural light. C. Radio signals. D. Sound waves.
14. What does the underlined word “blurry” in the third paragraph probably mean
A. Not big. B. Not clear. C. Not new. D. Not attractive.
15. What can we know about the M87 black hole
A. It is almost empty. B. It is the smallest one. C. It is very bright. D. It is very large.

New Year was just around the corner. I was second grade then, 7 years old. One day, on my way home from school, a lady gave me a piece of paper saying that the neighborhood was asking people to give New Year presents to those who needed them. When I got home, I showed my mother the paper and said that I wanted to take part in this plan. My mother thought this was a very good idea and encouraged me to spread kindness to others less fortunate than us. She said we would become “Neighborhood Angels (天使)”.
Several days later, my mother said, “Get ready, and we will go.” “Where are we going ” I asked my mother. “I will drive you to Boots Department Store to buy something you think would be suitable for a neighborhood present.”, she replied. As we went into the store, my mother gave me 20 to pay for the present. Then she said, “I’ll see you outside in the car.” She left me alone to do the shopping. I was not used to buying things on my own, as I had always been with one of my parents before. Everything seemed very strange and confusing to me, but I carried on. I asked myself what I should buy and for whom. An idea quickly occurred to me. There was a poor boy called Ralph who lived in our neighborhood. I used to see him often without a jacket during the freezing winter months, so I decided, then and there, to buy him a warm jacket.I looked at many jackets and eventually chose a heavy blue one. The price was just within my spending limit. The assistant at the checkout asked, “Is this for someone ”, as I paid for the jacket happily. I said it was, and she wished me a Happy New Year. I felt as if I were a real“Neighborhood Angel”.
Paragraph 1:
That evening, my mother helped me pack the jacket in beautiful paper. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Paragraph 2:
My mother and I waited breathlessly for Ralph’s front door to open and finally it opened. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________2020-2021学年度第二学期期中考试

Black holes were first put forward by Albert Einstein in 1916. However, scientists had not proved their directly. That changed on April 10, 2019, with the release of the first photo of a black hole in the center of the galaxy (星系)M87, located 55 million light years from Earth.
The photo does not show the black hole itself. That's because they are black and so they can't be seen in space.the scientists used radio signals to capture (拍摄)the black hole's "shadow" —the bright ring that forms around its edge, when light bends because of the extreme gravity around the hole.
The M87 black hole believed to have a mass 6.5 billion times that of our sun, was captured using the Event Horizon Telescope (EHT)—a network of eight powerful telescopes(望远镜.)The telescopes，located in Hawaii, Arizona , Chile, Mexico, Spain and Antarctica, separately captured the black holl' s radio signals over four nights in April 2017, when the weather was fine in all six places. The data was transpcried to a centre where it was dealt with by a supercomputer to form the photo of the black hole's shadow. The researchers say while the photo is slightly blurry, future photos will be clearer as more telescopes are added to the EHT. Black ' holes are not easy to capture on camera because they are surrounded by thick dusty and hot gases.
Black holes are areas in space where the pulling strength of gravity is so powerful that even light is unable to escape. They can be different widely in size and mass. The smallest, called "primordial" black holes are as small as a single atom but with a mass of a big mountain. " Stellar'' black holes, which are the most common, have a diameter (直径)of about 10 miles and a mass 20 times that of our sun. The largest or “supermassive'' black holes, similar to that of M87's, can have a mass . greater than millions, or even billions of suns combined.
12. What can we infer from the first paragraph
A. Einstein's predicticn about black holes is right.
B. Einstein captured the black hole a century ago.
C. Scientists haven't proved black holes' presence.
D. The black hole has been known for centuries.
13. What did the scientists use to capture the black hole's "shadow"
A. Moon light. B. Natural light. C. Radio signals. D. Sound waves.
14. What does the underlined word “blurry” in the third paragraph probably mean
A. Not big. B. Not clear. C. Not new. D. Not attractive.
15. What can we know about the M87 black hole
A. It is almost empty. B. It is the smallest one. C. It is very bright. D. It is very large.
【答案】12. A 13. C 14. B 15. D
【解析】
【分析】本文为说明文。日前，美国科学家公布了人类拍摄的第一张黑洞的照片，这张照片直接证实了爱因斯坦关于黑洞预言的准确性。
【12题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段内容“Black holes were first put forward by Albert Einstein in 1916. However, scientists had not proved their directly. That changed on April 10, 2019, with the release of the first photo of a black hole in the center of the galaxy (星系)M87, located 55 million light years from Earth.” 黑洞是爱因斯坦于1916年首次提出的。科学家当时只是还能直接证明。在2019年4月10日有了银河系中心的一个黑洞（M87）第一张照片，距离地球5500万光年。可以判断，第一张黑洞照片的公布证实了爱因斯坦关于黑洞预言的正确性。故选A。
【13题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段第二句“the scientists used radio signals to capture (拍摄)the black hole's "shadow"可知，科学家使用无线电信号来拍摄黑洞的“阴影”。故选C。
【14题详解】
词义猜测题。根据划线词前面的转换连词“while”可知，前后两句意思是相反的。根据后一句“future photos will be clearer as more telescopes are added to the EHT”未来的照片将会更清晰，可知，与之相反的是“不清晰的”。结合后面的“Black ' holes are not easy to capture on camera because they are surrounded by thick dusty and hot gases” 可知黑洞不容易被摄像机捕捉到，因为它们被厚厚的尘埃和热气体包围着。由此可判断，blurry是“不清晰的”即“模糊不清的”意思。分析选项可知B符合题意，故选B。
【15题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段的“The largest or ‘supermassive’ black holes, similar to that of M87’s”可知，M87黑洞属于超大型黑洞。故选D。
【点睛】在阅读中我们经常会考查猜测词义题。事实上，阅读材料中的每个词与它前后的词语或句子甚至段落都有联系。运用逻辑推理猜测词义是使用最广考查最多也最易失分的猜词方式，这要求考生具备整合分散、复杂信息的能力，充分利用上下文（各种已知信息）并结合具体的语境推测、判断某些词或短语的词义。例如第3小题属于词意猜测题。根据划线词前的转换连词“while”可知，前后两句意思是相反的。根据后一句“future photos will be clearer as more telescopes are added to the EHT”未来的照片将会更清晰，可知，与之相反的是“不清晰“。结合后面的“Black ' holes are not easy to capture on camera because they are surrounded by thick dusty and hot gases” 可知黑洞不容易被摄像机捕捉到，因为它们被厚厚的尘埃和热气体包围着。由此可判断，blurry是“不清晰的”即“模糊不清的”意思。分析选项可知B符合题意，故选B。

New Year was just around the corner. I was second grade then, 7 years old. One day, on my way home from school, a lady gave me a piece of paper saying that the neighborhood was asking people to give New Year presents to those who needed them. When I got home, I showed my mother the paper and said that I wanted to take part in this plan. My mother thought this was a very good idea and encouraged me to spread kindness to others less fortunate than us. She said we would become “Neighborhood Angels (天使)”.
Several days later, my mother said, “Get ready, and we will go.” “Where are we going ” I asked my mother. “I will drive you to Boots Department Store to buy something you think would be suitable for a neighborhood present.”, she replied. As we went into the store, my mother gave me 20 to pay for the present. Then she said, “I’ll see you outside in the car.” She left me alone to do the shopping. I was not used to buying things on my own, as I had always been with one of my parents before. Everything seemed very strange and confusing to me, but I carried on. I asked myself what I should buy and for whom. An idea quickly occurred to me. There was a poor boy called Ralph who lived in our neighborhood. I used to see him often without a jacket during the freezing winter months, so I decided, then and there, to buy him a warm jacket.I looked at many jackets and eventually chose a heavy blue one. The price was just within my spending limit. The assistant at the checkout asked, “Is this for someone ”, as I paid for the jacket happily. I said it was, and she wished me a Happy New Year.

【答案】Possible version 1:
That evening, my mother helped me pack the jacket in beautiful paper. She wrote “To Ralph, From a person who cares about you” on it, after which she drove me over to Ralph’s house in the neighborhood. My mother parked down the street. I took a deep breath and dashed to his front door. Seeing no other people notice us, I threw the New Year’s present down on his steps, pressed his door bell and then hid in the car.
My mother and I waited breathlessly for Ralph’s front door to open and finally it opened. Out came Ralph. Seeing the jacket, he looked astonished and then called his mother to come out. After hearing them say “Thanks” loudly, I felt very proud of what I had done. At that time I decided to be a good person spreading kindness forever. It was on that night that I realized the truth that he who has no kindness in his heart will never find kindness in someone else.
Possible version 2:
That evening, my mother helped me pack the jacket in beautiful paper. In the package, my mother included a New Year’s card, on which she wrote “Happy New Year to Ralph, From someone who cares about you”. Then we got dressed and headed for his house in the car. On the way, she asked how the idea occurred to me and I told her about Ralph. She was actually amazed at my idea. Soon, we stopped at Ralph’s house and knocked on the door.
My mother and I waited breathlessly for Ralph’s front door to open and finally it opened. Ralph was surprised to see us at the door. My mother explained, “We are ‘Neighborhood Angels’, and we are here to give out New Year’s presents.” Meanwhile, I handed the jacket to him and wished him a Happy New Year. His face lit up and he thanked us over and over again. Seeing the big smile on his face, I made up my mind to be a New Year Angel in the years ahead. As you know, angels are actually in everyone’s heart.
【解析】
【分析】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了新年来临之际，作者接受了一个倡议：为需要的人赠送新年礼物，作者和妈妈来到商店，经过一番思考之后，作者决定给邻居一个男孩买一件夹克。
【详解】1.段落续写：
①由第一段首句内容“那天晚上，妈妈帮我用漂亮的纸把夹克衫包起来。”可知，所以接下来应该写作者传达对小男孩的新年祝福（比如写贺卡），以及动身去送礼物；
②由第二段首句内容“我和母亲屏息静气地等着拉尔夫家的前门打开，终于它打开了。”可知，第二段可描写Ralph的反应以及作者的感受。
