第一节(共15小题;每小题2分,满分30分)

A
For centuries people have wondered who was the model for Leonardo da Vinci’s Mona Lisa and what was the reason for her smile. But the Mona Lisa is just one of the many mysteries in the art world. Here are some other notable unsolved art mysteries that might be a little less familiar.
Mystery 1: Who Is the Girl in Johannes Vermeer’s Girl with a Pearl Earring
Around 1665, Dutch artist Johannes Vermeer painted a charming portrait of a young girl. People around the globe have long wondered who this fetching young lady was.
Many say she must have been Vermeer’s daughter or girlfriend. Others think she wasn’t a real person, but rather an intentionally mysterious, timeless figure. The painting, referred to as the “Mona Lisa of the North”, has been part of The Hague’s permanent collection since1903.But it draws record-breaking crowds whenever and wherever it tours around the world.
Mystery 2: Where Is Raphael’s Portrait of a Young Man
Portrait of a Young Man is considered one of the most important pieces of art to go missing during World War Ⅱ. The painting was created around 1513 by Raphael, a famous Italian Renaissance artist, and stolen from Poland’s Princes Czartoryski Museum in 1939.
The portrait had traveled to Germany and Austria before it was gone in 1945.
Mystery 3: Was Vincent van Gogh Murdered
One of the main things people know about Vincent van Gogh is that he cut off his ear. That was likely because the Dutch post-impressionist painter suffered from mental illness, probably severe depression. The official cause is suicide from a gun shot at close range.
That certainly seems plausible(貌似有理的), given his poor mental health. However, no gun was found near his body, and locals reported two teenage boys bullying him shortly before his death.
21. What do Portrait of a Young Man and Girl with a Pearl Earring have in common
A. They are both gone.
B. They are both portraits.
C. They were created at the same period.
D. They are both related to World War Ⅱ.
22. Who probably suffered from mental illness
A. Leonardo da Vinci. B. Johannes Vermeer.
C. Raphael. D. Vincent van Gogh.
23. Who is likely to be more interested in this selection
A. Tour guides. B. Book reviewers. C. Art lovers. D. Music composers.
B
One of the three astronauts who made up the historic Apollo 11 crew, NASA veteran Michael Collins passed away today, April 28, 2021, at the age of 90.
Collins was born on Oct. 31, 1930, in Rome, Italy. His father, a career officer in the US. Army who’d go on to retire as a major general, was stationed there at the time. After his family returned stateside, Collins earned a Bachelor of Science degree from the US. Military Academy at West Point, graduating with the class of 1952.He then became an Air Force test pilot, which opened some interesting doors. In 1962, John Glenn became the first American to orbit the Earth. Glenn’s achievement was an inspiration for Collins. “I certainly had no childhood dream of flying to the moon or anywhere else, but the idea was extremely appealing,” Collins wrote in his autobiography Carrying the Fire: An Astronaut’s Journeys. He was selected to join NASA’s third class of astronauts the following year. His first extraterrestrial(地球外的) adventure came in 1966,when Collins set about on a three-day spaceflight with fellow astronaut John Young. Known as Gemini X, their mission was one for the record books; the two men reached the then-unprecedented(前所未有的) altitude of 475 miles (764 kilometers).
Of course, Michael Collins is best remembered for his role in Apollo 11. On July 16, 1969, at 8:32 AM (Eastern Standard Time), Collins, Buzz Aldrin and Neil Armstrong were launched out of the Kennedy Space Center in Florida. They were the three explorers NASA had chosen for the first mission that would ever put a man on the moon. Four days into their adventure, on July 20, Collins parted ways with his crewmates. Seated in the Eagle landing craft, Armstrong and Aldrin made their landing onto the lunar surface. An American flag was planted; photos were taken; Armstrong said the immortal words, “One small step for man, one giant leap for mankind.”
Meanwhile, Collins stayed behind in the crew’s command module(舱), orbiting the moon as his colleagues explored it.
24. What motivated Collins to dream of flying to the moon
A. John Glenn’s achievement. B. His father’s encouragement.
C. His childhood experiences. D. His favorite book.
25. What can we learn about Collins from paragraph 2
A. He became the first American to orbit Earth.
B. He dreamed of flying to the moon in his childhood.
C. His first space exploration was accomplished by himself.
D. He once wrote an autobiography.
26. Why is Collins best-known to many people until now
A. He was praised by Armstrong.
B. He became an Air Force test pilot.
C. He participated in the work of Apollo 11.
D. He reached the then-unprecedented altitude of 475 miles.
27. Which word can be best used to describe Collins
A. Lucky. B. Ambitious. C. Warmhearted. D. Humorous.
C
Margot doesn’t have a garbage can. It doesn’t need one because Margot simply doesn’t cause anything to get thrown away. The restaurant doesn’t allow any type of single-use plastic. Margot, which opened last year, is one of the small but growing restaurants around the world aiming to avoid not only food leftovers, but also any garbage.
“Food waste has been increasing as an issue for restaurants over the last 10 years,” says Calvin Brown. He runs the Sustainable Restaurant Association. Based in the United Kingdom, the organization helps food business become more environmentally responsible. He says that food waste contributes to releasing the greenhouse gas, so there is strong motivation to reduce waste and help the environment.
In the USA, food waste and packing account for nearly half of the material sent to landfills. Restaurants from McDonald’s to Starbucks are addressing this issue with “no straw Mondays” and limits on single-serving plastic, but a handful of restaurateurs are trying to get rid of rubbish entirely. There’s also economic case to be made for waste reduction. One study shows that restaurants save seven dollars for every dollar invested in anti-waste methods.
Avoiding food waste is the first and perhaps most obvious challenge for sustainable restaurants. Doug McMaster, chef at Silo in London, only serves a set menu. This removes the worry that one particular item won’t sell well, and will spoil in the post(堆肥) is a necessity as well. Nolla (meaning “zero” in Finnish) in Helsinki, Finland is giving compost to its suppliers as well as its diners. Nolla also has food-tracking software more commonly used among corporate food service companies to keep track of what sells and what rots.
Sometimes restaurants call themselves environmentally friendly, but they might just be using the label. Calvin offers some pointers on what to look for to make sure a restaurant is truly committed to sustainability.
28. What does Margot feature
A. Its large size. B. Its zero-waste goal.
C. Its opening hours. D. Its plastic garbage cans.
29. What is paragraph 3 mainly about
A. Ways of packaging food.
B. The issue of investing in services.
C. Efforts of some restaurants to reduce rubbish.
D. The importance of environmental protection.
30. Which of the following does Nolla try to do
A. Supply compost to its customers. B. Hardly use refrigerators.
C. Only serve a set menu. D. Keep track of diners’ preferences.
31. What does Calvin think restaurants should do
A. Expand food business.
B. Use eco-friendly labels.
C. Save money on dealing with kitchen garbage.
D. Contribute to sustainable development of the food industry.

The Science and Technology Facilities Council (STFC) and University of Central Lancashire (UCLan) share findings of a project to improve student engagement with science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM).
It’s long been acknowledged that students from disadvantaged backgrounds are underrepresented in science, technology, engineering and mathematics careers. Now, research conducted by UCLan and funded by STFC shows the causes of this problem and points to innovative solutions. The Blackpool Physics: Inspire, Engage, Research (PIER) project found that primary school children from low socio-economic areas are just as interested in science but lack knowledge about possible science careers.
The PIER project is following a group of pupils as they progress from Grade 6 to Grade 9, using surveys, interviews and other assessments to measure interest in science. These initial findings suggest that attempts to increase science participation among young people should not simply promote the subject as “fun” or “interesting”. Instead, greater impact could be achieved by demonstrating clearly how science can open possible future career opportunities.
Many of the pupils taking part in the study understood that studying science could be useful but few could explain why, suggesting a need for greater education about STEM careers. As well as broadening our understanding of the issue, the PIER project is solving the problem head on. The team has carried out a variety of activities each year for the participants, including “meet the scientists” events, trips to UCLan’s Alston Observatory as well as family science events at school.
Lead Researcher and STFC Fellow in Public Engagement, Professor Robert Walsh, said, “Much government policy towards boosting science in higher education focuses on an assumed lack of interest and desire in low-socioeconomic groups.” However, the enthusiasm is already there and this “hidden science identity” needs to be revealed and translated into real-life prospects for these young people. We’re recommending that programs instead allow young people to explore their science identity more fully and provide innovative ways to discover the jobs that studying science may lead to.
32. What do people generally believe about poor students
A. They have no interest in STEM careers.
B. They are not engaged enough in science.
C. They are more representative of science.
D. They have many character disadvantages.
33. What does the PIER project pay more attention to
A. Assessing pupils’ performance.
B. Increasing the surveys of pupils.
C. Demonstrating the potential value of science.
D. Promoting the subject as “fun” or “interesting”.
34. Why does the team conduct various activities
A. To boost science development.
B. To meet the pupils’ needs for school events.
C. To promote teaching-related careers’ development.
D. To improve students’ understanding of STEM careers.
35. What is the best title for the text
A. The PIER Project Helps Poor Pupils Engage in Science
B. How Does the PIER Project Come into Being
C. Increase Pupils’ Learning Awareness
D. What Is the Definition of PIER

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。
Have you ever gone to a museum or a show and been completely blown away by a piece If you haven’t, go out and get cultured. I’m a student at the College of Visual and Performing Arts where we create all kinds of art every day. 36 But I don’t think those people truly know the difficulties and struggles in the process of making art.
First of all, we need to be inspired. You may think that’s easy. In fact, anything can serve as a concept of a work of art. 37 Sometimes we will need people, volunteers, bodies to do so and finding willing people to work is hard. Other times we have a clear idea of what we want but we don’t know how to make other people fully understand what we’re trying to get at.
38 We need a space to be able to be creative and that can be tricky to acquire. Sometimes we need art supplies or certain equipment and costumes and that can cost money. Even if we do acquire what we need, visions change and mistakes happen so we might not end up using the resources.
The process can take weeks, months, and even years to be fully realized. Once completed, we need to share it and find an audience and provide an environment to display our work. 39 What if nobody likes what we created What if our vision isn’t what we thought though completed
Creating art is an art in itself. It is really not as easy as many people think. 40 It’s how we express ourselves and how we communicate with the rest of the world.
A. Outsiders think our jobs easy.
B. We should be quiet and creative.
C. We might choose other fields as well.
D. Resources are also a huge factor in making art.
E. The hard part comes when we put our ideas into reality.
F. And the negative thoughts love to overpower our minds.
G. It takes time, patience and space when things don’t go as expected.

W: Scientists are trying to make the desert into good land again. They want to bring water to the desert, so people can live and grow crops. They are learning a lot about the desert. But more and more of the earth is becoming desert all the time. Scientists may not be able to change the desert in time. Why is more and more land becoming desert Scientists think people are doing bad things to the earth. Some places on the earth don’t get much rain. But they still don’t become desert. This is because some green plants are growing there. Small green plants and grass are very important to dry places. Plants don’t let the sun make the earth even drier. Plants don’t let the wind blow the dirt away. When a bit of rain falls, the plants hold the water. Without plants, the land can become desert easily.

One possible version:
Since the beginning of the term, with the help of my foreign teacher, my English study has been going very smoothly. I’ve finished five units and I’m able to recite most of the texts. I’ve mastered about 300 English words. I’ve also learned some grammar knowledge, which helps me write English articles better. Besides, my ability of English listening and speaking has been improved, and so has my reading speed. Now I can fluently communicate with my English teacher and classmates in class.
In order to make greater progress in English, I’ll make a plan for my future English study in and out of class. And I’ll spare no effort to follow it.
