If you are crazy about paintings，you shouldn’t miss the following four famous masterpieces which have stood the test of time.
The Arnolfini Portrait
Jan van Eyck’s Arnolfini Portrait，an oil painting on wood produced in 1434，in which a man and a woman hold hands with a window behind him and a bed behind her，is undoubtedly one of the masterpieces in the National Gallery，London.This painting is as visually interesting as it is famed.It is also an informative document on fifteenth century society，through Jan van Eyck’s heavy use of symbolism—while husbands went out to engage in business，wives concerned themselves with domestic duties.
The Starry Night
Vincent van Gogh painted The Starry Night，oil on canvas (帆布)，a moderately abstract landscape painting of an expressive night sky over a small hillside village，during his 12 month stay at the mental hospital near Saint Rémy de Provence，France between 1889 and 1890.When the Museum of Modern Art in New York City purchased the painting from a private collector in 1941，it was not well known，but it has since become one of Vincent van Gogh’s most famous works.
The Harvesters
The Harvesters is an oil painting on wood completed by Pieter Bruegel the Elder in 1565.It demonstrates the harvest time which most commonly occurred within the months of August and September.Nicolaes Jonghelinck，a merchant banker and art collector from Antwerp，commissioned this painting.The painting has been at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City since 1919.
Guernica
Guernica，a large black and white oil painting，was painted by the Cubist Spanish painter，Pablo Picasso in 1937.The title “Guernica” refers to the city that was bombed by Nazi planes during the Spanish Civil War.The painting demonstrates the horrors of war and as a result，has come to be an anti war symbol and a reminder of the tragedies of war.Today，the painting is housed at the Museo Nacional Centro de Arte Reina Sofaí in Madrid.

A．The Arnolfini Portrait. B．The Starry Night.C．The Harvesters. D．Guernica.
2．Who created the painting describing the harvest time

In Old Town Alexandria，Virginia，you can find Jamey Turner playing an unusual musical instrument，the glass harp(竖琴)．A glass harp is made up of different sized drinking glasses，each filled with water.
Turner makes music by running his fingers over the tops of the glasses.By doing so，each glass makes a different musical sound.Visitors to Alexandria like what they see and hear.They thank Turner by leaving a dollar or more in his box for donations.Jamey Turner is 78 years old.Turner became interested in playing the glass harp at the age of six，when he heard his father playing with a glass of water at the dinner table.He has been playing it for 50 years.
Today Turner puts together his instrument by placing 60 different glasses on a wooden soundboard.He holds the glasses in place with rubber bands，which keeps them from breaking.He then adds different amounts of water to each one to create different musical notes.Adding or taking away just a little water will change the sound.Adding water to a glass will make a lower sound.The smaller bowls of water produce a higher sound，while the larger ones produce a lower，deeper sound.
Turner always uses low priced glass because it sounds better than costly crystal(水晶) and he has more control over the sound.Before buying new glasses，he will test them in stores.He decides if they produce the right sound by rubbing his finger over the top of them.
The glass harp was popular 300 years ago when composers like Wolfgang Mozart wrote music for the instrument.There have been about 400 pieces of music written just for the glass harp.But Turner plays all kinds of music，even popular music from China.Few people play the glass harp these days，but Turner says he sees videos of people experimenting with the instrument on YouTube.He hopes the next generation will continue making its music.
4．What do visitors think of Jamey Turner’s performance
A．Boring. B．Attractive.C．Strange. D．Common.
5．How can Jamey Turner change the sounds of the glasses
A．By beating the glasses in different parts.B．By placing the glasses on a wooden board.

A．Little music is written for the instrument.B．People are trying to play the instrument online.
C．Few people are playing the instrument these days.D．The instrument cannot produce some beautiful sounds.
7．What is the best title for this text
A．Making Music by Playing GlassesB．Special Sounds from Glasses
C．Devotion to Playing Glasses for FunD．Fingers over the Tops of the Glasses

I’m Jeff Logan，president of Logan Luxury Theaters Corporation.I’m very sorry to tell you many cinemas are at risk of closing permanently(永久)．That’s something we would hate to see happen.
Watching the newest box office movie and eating a big bucket of popcorn is an experience that many of us have enjoyed for a very long time.We all have fond memories of going to a theater of our first dates or the first movie we saw with our children.A movie theater is so important to the fabric of the local community.It’s a place where we all gather，no matter what our interests，and no matter what ages，young and old，rich and poor.
But how much longer will classic theaters remain open Just like other industries，movie theaters have been hit hard by the pandemic(流行病)and are going dark.The entire industry is being controlled by the pandemic，because the studios don’t want to release their new movies until all the theaters can be open.As we all know，the theaters can’t do well and can’t get back to full 7 day a week at full speed operation without new movies to play.
Recently，the Logan Luxury 5 Cinema in Mitchell reopened for the weekends.However，like many theaters，it is only operating at about 10 percent capacity.Since opening，several new safety measures have been put in place.Block off every other row.People are asked to leave three seats between them and the next group.Staff spray the theater with disinfectant(消毒剂)after every show.And sanitizer stations can be found throughout the theater.
Even so，some people still aren’t comfortable going to a movie theater yet.I fully understand that.Anyhow，I just hope we must do something else to help out our local theaters，like taking part in a new national proposal called “Save Your Cinema.”
8．What does the underlined word “fabric” in Paragraph 2 refer to
A．Typical feature. B．Basic structure.C．Public support. D．Common vision.
9．Why are the film studios unwilling to release the new movies
A．Cinemas don’t operate normally.B．New movies aren’t welcomed.
C．People don’t like going to cinema.D．Many cinemas go out of business.
10．What can we infer about the Logan Luxury 5 Cinema after its reopening
A．It makes a lot of money.B．It does well in disease prevention.
C．It receives a large audience every day.D．It offers more enjoyable experience.
11．What is the purpose of this text
A．To share the good old days.B．To explain a social problem.
C．To recommend a theater.D．To ask for people’s help.

What will man be like in the future—in 5,000 or even 50,000 years from now We can only make guesses，of course，but we can be sure that he will be different from what he is today，for man is slowly changing all the time.
1 Man，even five hundred years ago，was shorter than he is today.Now，on average，men are about three inches taller.Five hundred years is a relatively short period of time，so we may assume that man will continue to grow taller.Again，in the modern world we use our brains a great deal.Even so，we still make use of only about 20% of the brain’s capacity.As time goes on，however，we shall have to use our brains more and more，and eventually we shall need larger ones! This is likely to bring about a physical change too：the head，in particular the forehead，will grow larger.
2 In fact，we use them so much that very often they become weaker and we have to wear glasses.But over a very long period of time it is likely that man’s eyes will grow stronger.
On the other hand，we tend to make less use of our arms and legs. 3 At the same time，however，our fingers will grow more sensitive because they are used a great deal in modern life.But what about hair This will probably disappear from the body altogether in course of time because it does not serve a useful purpose any longer. 4
Perhaps all this gives the impression that future man will not be a very attractive creature to look at！ 5 All the same，in spite of all these changes，future man will still have a lot in common with us.He will still be a human being，with thoughts and emotions similar to our own.
A．This may well be true.B．Let us take an obvious example.
C．Nowadays our eyes are in constant use.D．These，as a result，are likely to grow weaker.
E．Now how exactly will this great revolution occur
F．In the future，then，both sexes are likely to be bald.
G．We’re all set to get much taller and thinner，if we want to survive.Ⅰ.阅读理解

4．答案 planned解析 考查非谓语动词。分析句子结构可知，此处为非谓语动词作状语，动词plan“规划，计划”与the network为逻辑上的动宾关系，且此处表示动作在过去发生，故用过去分词作状语。

8．答案 is解析 考查动词的时态和主谓一致。此处是so开头的倒装句型“so＋be动词/助动词/情态动词＋主语”，表示前面所述情况也适合该主语。此处主语为every Chinese brand，为单数意义，且此处描述客观情况，应用一般现在时，故用is。9．答案 easily解析 考查副词。空处修饰谓语动词，应该用副词。easily极有可能。10．答案 promoting解析 考查非谓语动词。空前的to是介词，空处与空后的名词词组构成动名词短语作to的宾语，故本空应填动词的 ing形式promoting。

I came home raging with anger.Once again I had been asked to do “just one more thing”．My boss was leaving the company and the president wanted to know if I was interested in taking over the office.The opportunity sounded great—except that I would have no additional help，would receive minimal compensation and would be left in a position at a company that had no chance of being promoted.My poor husband asked what I wanted to do.At first I considered our financial responsibilities.Then I realized I could not take the job；I was not going to settle for a partially rewarding life.I believed my husband and I could make it work.
After giving it much thought，I finally decided to study one of my personal passions：architecture.The only accredited schools were located across the state，so for the first semester，I drove three hours each way twice a week.The stress at home and the struggles in school began taking a physical toll on me.At the end of the first semester I was ready to quit，but I knew this was my chance.So I found a relative who lived halfway between home and school and she offered me a place to stay during the week.
In my personal life，I discovered that many of the women in my family were supportive because they did not follow their own desired study paths.My grandmother never went to college because she became a mother，and my mother only went for a shorter degree because she chose to start a family as well.My husband’s family were disappointed that my schooling would push any decision to have grandchildren into our 30s，but my husband was supportive and never apologized for my choice.
I will finish my master’s degree in December.Instead of dreading work，I get up each day excited about moving forward.I know there will be days when I still don’t want to get out of bed so early，but I am proud of what I am doing and I’m so glad I decided to take a chance on my future.
4．Which of the following words can be used to describe the president
A．Greedy. B．Generous.C．Hardworking. D．Sympathetic.
5．What do we know about a lot of women in the author’s family
A．They did a good job in keeping the family.B．They gave up studying further in their life.
C．They offered no support to the author in her study.D．They made their own dreams about jobs come true.
6．Why is the author excited every day
A．She is hopeful about the future.B．She will get a pay rise.
C．She has finished her master’s degree.
D．She doesn’t have to get up early.
7．What is the text mainly about

Scientists at a Nevada earthquake lab tested new bridge designs last Wednesday.The designs have connectors which they say are innovative(创新的)．The designs were created to better stand violent earthquakes and speed reconstruction efforts after major quake damage.
The engineers in University of Nevada，Reno performed the experiments on a huge “shake table”．They attempted to simulate(模拟) the violent movements of an earthquake hitting a 100 ton,70 foot bridge model.They wanted to see how well it would hold up.Graduate students measured and marked signs of tiny cracks.But no major structural damage was observed in the initial review of the experiments.“The bridge has done better than we expected，” said Saiid Saiidi.He is a professor of civil and environmental engineering，also the project leader.He’s done related research for more than 30 years.
Bridges are already designed not to fall apart in earthquakes.But they are often unsafe for travel after big quakes.He said the tested designs used special types of connectors to link pre made bridge parts.This included high performance concrete.The parts have been tested on their own.But they were never tested before combined in a bridge model subjected to realistic earthquake movements，like the 1994 Northridge，California quake.Wednesday’s test inside the University of Nevada’s Earthquake Engineering Laboratory simulated the activities of a quake as large as magnitude 7.5.The innovative connectors allow for ready made concrete and other materials to be attached to an existing bridge foundation.This should speed repair and reconstruction.
The University of Nevada’s Earthquake Engineering Laboratory is the largest of its kind in the United States.The latest project is funded by the California Department of Transportation，which is currently developing plans for 10 pilot projects based on the developing bridge connector technology.
