第一节(共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分)
阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。

Samuel Morse was born in Massachusetts USA. He started off his career as an inventor after being a painter and sculptor (雕塑家). He even earned a gold medal from the famous Adelphi Society of Arts for his first effort in sculpture, the “Dying Hercules”. He became the first president of the National Academy of Design, and became Professor of the Arts of Design in the University of the City of New York.
Yet, this painter turned to inventing to make his fortune during a sea voyage. On this journey, Samuel Morse heard about many attempts to create usable telegraphs. He was fascinated by this problem and began to study books on physics for two years to gain more scientific knowledge. He realized that pulses (脉冲) of electrical current could carry information over wires.
Thus the world’s first working model of a telegraph was born. His signaling device was quite simple. It consisted of a transmitter (containing a battery and a key), a small buzzer (蜂鸣器) as a receiver and a pair of wires connecting the two. Samuel Morse improved it by adding a switch and a second buzzer to allow transmission (传播) in the opposite direction as well.
On May 24, 1844 Samuel Morse sent the first electronic message between Baltimore and Washington, “Look what God has enabled us to build, and benefit by. ”
Seventeen years later, the two coasts of the United States were linked by telegraph. The telegraph continued to enjoy the position of being the fastest and most reliable means of communication for almost 140 years since its invention.

Photography(摄影) is a very popular art form. Anyone with a camera or a mobile phone can practice it. A picture communicates in a way that words often can’t. As the photographer Destin Sparks put it, “Photography is the story I fail to put into words. ” And there’s no better chance to practice the art of photography than during our vacation time.
Holiday photos have been a part of the culture of travelers for a long time. For decades, vacationers have made sure they’ve packed a camera along with bathing suits, Hawaiian shirts and sunglasses. A camera is an important holiday item. But over the last 10 years, photography has become much more popular. It’s easy to capture ( 捕捉 ) still and moving pictures of places of interest, and it’s also easy to show off these pictures on social media. Armed with their smart phones, tourists, this year more than ever, are capturing the beauty of our planet.
Of course, travel companies have caught on to this. Trekksoft has an example of photo-tourism from the United States, a land with a vast choice of beautiful locations. Antelope Slot Canyon Tours in Arizona specializes in tours of the state’s famous canyons(峡谷), which gives photographers the chance to capture them on camera.
Most of the tourists are able to make beautiful images with just their mobile phones. Still, help is on hand from the tour guide for those who aren’t great at using their cameras. These tour guides have taken a course in photography in case the skills they’ve learned would help their customers.
4. According to the writer, which of the following can be the best time to practice photography
A. The time when people are traveling around.
B. The time when people have no words to say.
C. The time when you have a tour guide to help you.
D. The time when you have a mobile phone with you.

Karen Bystedt was born in Israel, but lived in London and California as a child. In 1982, as a photography (摄影) student at New York University, she was photographing male models for a book when she came across an ad featuring Andy Warhol, a very famous artist. She thought it would be really great to put him in her book.
So she called Andy Warhol at his studio in Union Square and asked if she could photograph him.
Two weeks later, Bystedt took a rented Hasselblad camera and lights to Warhol’s famed “Factory” on 14th street. She ended up taking 36 pictures, and published two in her book, Not Just Another Pretty Face, published in 1983. Warhol came to its launch (发行) party—and that was the last time she saw him.
A few years later, she packed the portraits in a box and moved to Los Angeles. But after she’d gotten settled, she couldn’t find them. She couldn’t remember whether she had given the photos away or just left them in some forgotten storage unit. Either way, she thought they were lost forever.
In 2011, Bystedt became determined to find the missing films(底片). She spent two weeks going through two old garages, where she had put a bunch of belongings decades before. In a cardboard box, she found ten of the original films, covered in dust. She and a friend spent four months digitizing and cleaning the images up, pixel(像素) by pixel.
Bystedt was not content to merely publish the unseen photos. She invited contemporary artists to paint over and around her Warhol pictures, breathing new life into her old work. So she began reaching out to artists, seeing if they would be interested in putting their own stamp on the pictures.
The responses were overwhelming. Bystedt’s new exhibit, “The Lost Warhols”, opened on May 1, 2018 at 178 Sixth Avenue in Soho, New York, included 66 different interpretations of her portraits from 34 artists.
8. After photographing Andy Warhol, Bystedt ______.
A. never met the artist again
B. published a book the following year
C. published all of his pictures in her book
D. decided to photograph some male models for a book
9. According to the passage, the photos of Andy Warhol ______.
A. were found missing soon after they were taken
B. were taken when the artist was 19 years old
C. were found missing after Bystedt moved to Los Angeles
D. were taken by Bystedt without the artist’s permission
10. What did Bystedt do after the missing films were found
A. she published the unseen photos very quickly.
B. she held a party for some artists to view the photos.
C. she spent months repairing the films.
D. she displayed the pictures to make a profit.
11. What would be a suitable title for the passage
A. Photos of Andy Warhol Lost Forever
B. A Special Exhibit of Andy Warhol’s Works
C. Friendship Between an Artist and a Photographer
D. Unseen Portraits of Andy Warhol Lost and Found
D
Time,wars and natural disasters have a bad effect on the artistic and cultural objects in the world.More than 1,000 years ago,a fire destroyed the Library of Alexandria in Egypt.In 1755,an earthquake destroyed Ribeira Palace in Lisbon,Portugal,along with artworks inside.In modern times,the Taliban destroyed the huge Bamiyan Buddhas in Afghanistan.
As we all know,museums play an important part in our daily lives.They keep evidence of culture and history and exhibit great works.A major goal of most museums in the world is to make sure that important historical objects do not disappear forever.The Uffizi Gallery in Florence,Italy,holds 1,250 pieces of ancient Greek and Roman sculptures.These objects have inspired artists and historians for many years.So the museum is working to make a complete and permanent(永久的) record of the artworks.
The project is an effort of both the museum and the scientists from Indiana University in the United States.The team is using technology to create digital copies(数字复制品) of the Uffizi’s ancient sculptures.
The process is called photogrammetry.At one time,this process was slow and expensive.But not anymore,said Professor Robert Frischer.He said photogrammetry is now much faster and cheaper.Now they can gather 3-D data(数据) on a life-size sculpture in half an hour and they can process the data just in a couple of hours.
The images allow the viewer to examine the sculpture from all sides.And when the viewer zooms in(用变焦距镜头放大),the image becomes clearer.The Uffizi hopes to have the collection completed and available on the Internet by 2020.
12.What can we learn about photogrammetry
A.It is still expensive.
B.It is a time-saving step now.
C.It does great harm to the artworks.
D.It was invented by Robert Frischer.
13.What can we learn about the images
A.It’s impossible to make them larger.
B.They will take the place of real sculptures.
C.People can enjoy them online in the future.
D.They can only show the front of the sculpture.
14.What can we learn about some artworks
A.They have been badly damaged.
B.They were destroyed by accident.
C.They were not protected by humans.
D.Most of them are kept in Italy now.
15.Why do the Uffizi Gallery and Indiana University work together
A.To build the largest museum.
B.To create long-lasting artworks.
C.To introduce some ancient sculptures.
D.To inspire more artists and historians.

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。
Why people collect art
Many people through history have gone to great lengths to collect art. But what motivates these collectors
One popular explanation for collecting is that they can have financial gain. Some resell works, earning enormous profit. 1 Immorally, some “collectors” buy art as a form of money laundering(洗钱), since it is far easier to move art than cash between countries without examination.
2 For them, art is important for other reasons. The best way to understand the underlying drive of art collecting is as a means to create and strengthen social bonds, and as a way for collectors to communicate within these new networks.
Collectors are not only interested in creating social links; they are also motivated by the messages they can send once these social networks are created. We all know art is a powerful way for the artist to express thoughts and feelings. 3 Displaying art can send a message about who the collector really is—at least who she sees herself as.
4 Through the collections, collectors convey messages not just about themselves, but about the world as a whole. For example, the kid with the shoebox of bird feathers might show others her collection not just to make friends, but also to convince them of the importance of protecting endangered species.
People collect art for various reasons. 5
A. Some gain art works in an illegal way.
B. But most collectors think little of profit.
C. Artworks preserve the qualities of their makers.
D. No doubt art collection is a hard addiction to overcome.
E. Some get large tax reductions for donating art to museums.
F. It also serves as an effective way to express collectors.
G. Other art collectors see their collections as having a broader power.

It was late spring when my mom and I were driving through the countryside.Back then I was 13 years old and always felt unhappy with Mom.However,little did I know that this trip was going to be a special one.
A pot of flowers sat in he back seat,whose pleasant smell filled the car.Suddenly,in the middle of nowhere,my mom pulled over.“What are you doing ”I cried,fearing that the car had broken down and we’d be stuck there,so far from home.Fortunately,that wasn’t the case.My mom hopped out of the car,grabbing the flowers from the back seat.“It’ll just be a minute,”she called back through the open windows.
Impatiently,I cast my eyes towards the edge of theroad before they settled on a little sign showing that it was a nursing home.I looked back to the building,somewhat annoyed,as my mom reappeared empty-handed.
Before she started the car,curiosity drove me to ask,“Do you know someone there ” She shook her head.“Then what did you do with the flowers ” She smiled slightly,“I gave them to the receptionist(前台接待员).”“What ”She laughed at my confusion.“I told the receptionist to give the flowers to whoever needed them,especially those who haven’t received any in a while.”
I kept silent for a moment.Not long after we went on with our driving,I spoke again,“Did you leave your name ”To this she answered instantly,“No.Leaving flowers there for someone who will appreciate them makes me feel good,which is enough of a thank for me.”
Suddenly,still thinking about Mom’s deeds,I heard something burst loudly.It was our car that broke down! Nothing could be worse,because neither my mom nor I understood how to repair it,and we didn’t know where the garage was.It also seemed impossible to wait for any passerby,since we had seen so few along the way.
Paragraph 1:
I let out a sigh while my mom rooted herself against the car worrying about what could be done.
Paragraph 2:
As we drove along,a flower shop came into sight on the road.

Last weekend, I went to see a wonderful exhibition, where I met a load of outstanding artists, and we greeted each other warmly. I was pushed around by the crowds.

I let out a sigh while my mom rooted herself against the car worrying about what could be done.But after waiting in vain for a considerable time,Mom and I decided to walk back the road to the nursing home and seek help.God knows how far we had driven! When we arrived,the receptionist was surprised,but warmly helped us contact the garage.There,the old men who had received the flowers were excited to meet us,talking about how great that day was.It amazed us what random actions of kindness could mean to the people who received them.While we were laughing and talking merrily,we received the news that the garage had got our car repaired.
Paragraph 2:
As we dove alone,a flower shop came into sight on the road.I asked Mom to pull up and paced quickly into the flower shop,where a bunch of flowers glowing red in full bloom caught my eye.Having witnessed the effect of kindness,I decided to send Mom the sweet flowers.Soon,the pleasant scent filled the car again.Mom tried to conceal her excitement,but the glittering tears failed her.Through this trip,I discovered that,despite my occasional anger towards her,I actually felt proud of her.This was the trip of my life.

2 For them, art is important for other reasons. The best way to understand the underlying drive of art collecting is as a means to create and strengthen social bonds, and as a way for collectors to communicate within these new networks.
Collectors are not only interested in creating social links; they are also motivated by the messages they can send once these social networks are created. We all know art is a powerful way for the artist to express thoughts and feelings. 3 Displaying art can send a message about who the collector really is—at least who she sees herself as.
4 Through the collections, collectors convey messages not just about themselves, but about the world as a whole. For example, the kid with the shoebox of bird feathers might show others her collection not just to make friends, but also to convince them of the importance of protecting endangered species.
People collect art for various reasons. 5
A. Some gain art works in an illegal way.
B. But most collectors think little of profit.
C. Artworks preserve the qualities of their makers.
D. No doubt art collection is a hard addiction to overcome.
E. Some get large tax reductions for donating art to museums.
F. It also serves as an effective way to express collectors.
G. Other art collectors see their collections as having a broader power.

It was late spring when my mom and I were driving through the countryside.Back then I was 13 years old and always felt unhappy with Mom.However,little did I know that this trip was going to be a special one.
A pot of flowers sat in he back seat,whose pleasant smell filled the car.Suddenly,in the middle of nowhere,my mom pulled over.“What are you doing ”I cried,fearing that the car had broken down and we’d be stuck there,so far from home.Fortunately,that wasn’t the case.My mom hopped out of the car,grabbing the flowers from the back seat.“It’ll just be a minute,”she called back through the open windows.
Impatiently,I cast my eyes towards the edge of theroad before they settled on a little sign showing that it was a nursing home.I looked back to the building,somewhat annoyed,as my mom reappeared empty-handed.
Before she started the car,curiosity drove me to ask,“Do you know someone there ” She shook her head.“Then what did you do with the flowers ” She smiled slightly,“I gave them to the receptionist(前台接待员).”“What ”She laughed at my confusion.“I told the receptionist to give the flowers to whoever needed them,especially those who haven’t received any in a while.”
I kept silent for a moment.Not long after we went on with our driving,I spoke again,“Did you leave your name ”To this she answered instantly,“No.Leaving flowers there for someone who will appreciate them makes me feel good,which is enough of a thank for me.”
Suddenly,still thinking about Mom’s deeds,I heard something burst loudly.It was our car that broke down! Nothing could be worse,because neither my mom nor I understood how to repair it,and we didn’t know where the garage was.It also seemed impossible to wait for any passerby,since we had seen so few along the way.
Paragraph 1:
I let out a sigh while my mom rooted herself against the car worrying about what could be done.
Paragraph 2:
As we drove along,a flower shop came into sight on the road.

Paragraph 1:
I let out a sigh while my mom rooted herself against the car worrying about what could be done.But after waiting in vain for a considerable time,Mom and I decided to walk back the road to the nursing home and seek help.God knows how far we had driven! When we arrived,the receptionist was surprised,but warmly helped us contact the garage.There,the old men who had received the flowers were excited to meet us,talking about how great that day was.It amazed us what random actions of kindness could mean to the people who received them.While we were laughing and talking merrily,we received the news that the garage had got our car repaired.
Paragraph 2:
As we dove alone,a flower shop came into sight on the road.I asked Mom to pull up and paced quickly into the flower shop,where a bunch of flowers glowing red in full bloom caught my eye.Having witnessed the effect of kindness,I decided to send Mom the sweet flowers.Soon,the pleasant scent filled the car again.Mom tried to conceal her excitement,but the glittering tears failed her.Through this trip,I discovered that,despite my occasional anger towards her,I actually felt proud of her.This was the trip of my life.
