Version1 My Favorite Artwork
Art can mean different things to different people. To me, it reflects beauty in life, and some – times it ' s an escape from hardwork. I have a picture hanging on the wall in my study – Eight Running Horses by Xu Beihong. Whenever I am tired of studying, I look up at the horses, and I feel strength coming up from my feet to my whole body and I am energetic again. I am also impressed by Xu Beihong ' s preference to freedom and his spirit in pursuit of nature.
Version2 My Favorite Artwork
The creation of art has aesthetic value, but is more often used to express oneself. Six Gentlemen, a landscape painting by the artist Ni Zan, ranked top in my favorite artwork list. The work portrays six trees along a river bank, a metaphor for maintaining integrity in an era of violent upheaval . A large but quiet river in the middle expresses his love for simplicity and innocence. In the distance were high and looming mountains, leaving room for interpretation. The artwork is an expression of himself, communicating simplicity, innocence and distance, which are the life principles I appreciated most.
读后续写
写作思路：
这篇文章讲述了一个女孩Irene冒着暴风雪克服重重困难帮生病的妈妈将做好的礼服裙送到公爵夫人的家里的故事。前文介绍了风雪一直阻碍Irene前行，而她一直坚定地往前走。
续写第一段开头出现的冲突点是她踩在一个洞里，摔倒了，受伤了，第二段开头是她最终到达了公爵夫人家里，所以第一段的续写可以写她的心理斗争，想要放弃却最终还是决定要把礼服送到。第二段可以写公爵夫人收到礼服裙的喜悦和在舞会上的表现，最后点出Irene对完成任务帮到了妈妈而感到欣慰。
范文：
Suddenly Irene stepped in a hole, fell over and her foot got injured. “Keep quiet!” She blamed it on the wind. “You've done enough damage already.”The wind swallowed up her words. She sat in the snow in great pain, afraid that she wouldn't be able to go on. For a short second, Irene wondered if she should follow the wind’s warning. But it was her dear mother’s hard work, all those days of measuring, cutting, pinning, stitching ... And the poor duchess! She must be waiting for the gown anxiously. She managed to get to her feet and start moving again.
Eventually she was at the door of the duchess’s house. She knocked the door and was welcomed by cheering servants and the anxious duchess. They couldn’t believe she had come in such a snowstorm, all by herself. They were so deeply moved by her courage that they immediately served her with a good dinner by the fire. The duchess, meanwhile, got into her gown before the guests arrived. What a wonderful ball it was! The duchess was like a bright star in the sky. “Mama would enjoy hearing all about it.” A smile of relief appeared on Irene’s face.

There are many kinds of pollution, which can be classified by environment, including air pollution, water pollution, and land pollution. Modern society is also concerned about specific types of pollution, such as noise pollution, light pollution and plastic pollution. Pollution of all kinds may not only have negative effects on the environment and wildlife, but also do harm to human health and well-being.
Although environmental pollution can be caused by natural events such as forest fires and active volcanoes, use of the word "pollution" generally means that the wastes have an anthropocentric source—that is, a source created by human activities. Pollution has accompanied humankind ever since groups of people first congregated and remained for a long time in any one place. Indeed, ancient human settlements are frequently recognized by their wastes, Pollution was not a serious problem as long as there was enough space available for each individual or group. However, with the establishment of permanent settlements by great numbers of people, pollution became a problem, and it has remained one ever since.
By the middle of the 20th century, an awareness of the need to protect air, water, and land environments from pollution had developed among the general public. In particular, the publication in 1962 of Rachel Carson's book Silent Spring focused attention on environmental damage caused by improper use of pesticides such as DDT. In response, major pieces of environmental law and regulation were passed in many countries to control the environmental pollution.
Great efforts are made to limit the release of harmful substances into the environment. Unfortunately, attempts at pollution control are surpassed by the scale of the problem, especially in less-developed countries. Noxious levels of air pollution are common in large cities. To control the pollution completely, we still have a long way to go.
24. What does paragraph 1 mainly talk about
A. The history of pollution. B. The types of pollution.
C. The causes of pollution. D. The effects of pollution.
25. What is the original cause of pollution according to this passage
A. Human activities. B. Forest fires. C. Volcanoes. D.Natural disasters .
26. What does the underlined word "congregated" mean in paragraph 2
A. Lived. B. Separated. C. Attended. D. Gathered.
27. What can be inferred from the last two paragraphs
A. No measures have been taken by the government to control the problems of pollution.
B. The book Silent Spring helped to improve the awareness of protecting the environment.
C. Silent Spring concentrated on the improper use of plastic bags.
D. The pollution has been controlled in less-developed countries.
C
"A lot of early archaeology(考古学)was about finding things that are beautiful and museum-worthy," says archaeologist Sarah Graff. Bits of broken artifacts or boring-looking items from the field of food preparation were sometimes thrown aside with the dirt that wasn't being analyzed, she says, and scholars used to be more excited by the lives of kings."They didn't really think that things that had to do with domestic labor would have anything to do with politics or economics.”
But researchers are now finding more of those connections and trying to mine ancient pots to learn about the foods once prepared in them.
Biogeochemist Richard Evershed made his first identification of fat from foods in the walls of medieval (中世纪的) pots dating from 950 to 1450 at a site in England.With signs of fat, probably from making cheese, those pots are thought to have been used for baking bread. The scientists also discovered the leaf wax(蜡) of cabbage,which was likely cooked with meat. Consuming meat, cheese, butter and bread, the medieval peasants weren't doing too badly,says archaeologist Julie Dunne, Evershed's teammate.
Since 2014, some researchers have dived into experimental archaeology by cooking various recipes in store-bought pots. They used the same pot to cook the same recipe 50 times, and finally switched to a new recipe, cooking four meals. After a year,the pots' outer layers held signs of all the recipes but contained more remaining parts of the last meals. But the fatty substances within the inner layers of the pots built up over many times of cooking, which left obvious proof of the former recipes.The latest cooking events, however, was not the case, as archeologist Melanie Miller and her teammates reported in 2020 in Scientific Reports.
Miller and her team will continue cooking their tasteless meals. Cooking is "one of the most common things that humans have across time and space,"she says. Food and food practices signify traditions, politics, status, identities, upbringings and more. Food preparation reveals much."It's a daily practice.usually representative of all these much larger questions about our place in the world."
28.What does Graff say about early archaeologists
A.They ignored cooking artifacts every now and then
B.They realized the significance of domestic labor..
C.They showed some interest in unimportant items.
D.They studied pots with wrong analytical methods.
29.What can be inferred about the owners of the medieval pots
A.They disliked eating vegetables. B.They could not make bread.
C.They had little milk to drink. D.They might not be poor.
30.What did Miller find about the inner layers of the pots
A.They had a lot of remaining parts from the latest cooking.
B.Not all the recipes left clear signs within them.
C.More fatty substances from the last meals were contained.
D. They displayed as much evidence as the outer layers did.
31.Which statement might Miller most probably agree with
A. It is difficult to know how ancient people cooked.
B.Cooking reveals various aspects of human culture.
C. Studying ancient pots helps improve modern people's cooking.
D. Food practices were very similar among different ancient groups.
D
Dreams of world peace are as old as wars. But as the women of Wales were recovering from World War I, they demanded peace in droves.
Still sorrowing the husbands, sons, and loved ones who fought in the war, in 1923 the Welsh League of Nations United (WLNU) drafted a petition (请愿书) at Aberystwyth University calling for a warless world.
The petition was signed by roughly three quarters of all the women in Wales and was said to be seven miles long. The document was then packed in a large oak chest and sent across the Atlantic.
It was the WLNU’s hope that America would join in their mission for peace, and so they toured with the petition across the country before President Calvin Coolidge gave it to the Smithsonian for preservation.
As the centennial anniversary of World War I approached, a plaque was found in the archives at the Temple of Peace in Cardiff mentioning the petition, but nobody knew what it was, says Mererid Hopwood, chair of the Women’s Peace Petition Partnership.
So in 2017, an email was sent to the Smithsonian inquiring about the status and location of the chest and its petition.
Having arrived at the National Library of Wales on March 29 this year, Hopwood received it along with other members of the Peace Petition Partnership and described opening the chest and finally getting to see its contents (内容) as an emotional moment.
Hopwood is hoping more Welsh citizens will have similar experiences now that the petition has returned to its original home. The petition will be digitized, along with all signatures and addresses, so the public can view it online and see if their grandmothers or previous tenants of their homes signed 100 years ago.
Clearly the world has not yet achieved the petition’s great goals, but Hopwood said the signatures gave her hope.
32. What was the petition meant for
A. A thirst for peace. B. An end to WWI. C. A fight for Wales. D. A call for apology.
33. What can we infer about the petition from Paragraph 3
A. Most Welsh signed on the petition. B. Welsh asked for Americans’ help.
C. Welsh women wished for peace. D. Welsh women honored the war.
34. How did Hopwood like the reappearance of the petition
A. She could lead the petition. B.It would cause a big storm.
C. Welsh could be free of wars. D.Her hope for peace is on fire
35. What is the author’s purpose in writing the text
A. To memorise World War I. B. To inform reappearance of a petition.
C. To prove Welsh bravery. D. To remind to value peace.

It is never easy to deal with all the unwanted bullying (欺凌) even when you have done nothing wrong. 36 . There is no simple solution when it comes to bullying but keep in mind that there is only one goal, to stop the situation from becoming worse.
Ask Them To Stop
Asking the bully to stop is sometimes an effective measure to deal with them. Sometimes when we do not speak up for ourselves, 37 . Telling them to stop in a firm and confident voice can make them reconsider their actions. This will work only if they have not yet established a pattern of bullying you.
Be Accompanied
38 . If you are with your friends, or if you are in the company of someone, it is least likely that the bully will disturb you. We are not asking you to make a huge circle of friends, sometimes, all it takes is one loyal friend who will stay by you no matter what.
Ignore Them
Another effective measure to ignore a bully is by ignoring them. When you do not react to what they say or do no matter how hurtful it may be for you, 39 . They think of it as a game, and when they get an emotional response from you it satisfies their ego.
Turn The Situation Into A Joke
Some of us are born comedians and we can turn almost anything into a joke. If you are one of these people, try to take advantage of your gift. Turn the situation the bully has created into a joke or just say something funny. This will break the bully’s confidence and they will know that you are strong and sure about who you are. 40 .
A. This will make them back off
B. they start to lose interest in you
C. They will hurt you over and over again
D. you can always shift a focus to bystanders
E. Bullies usually hunt for people who are alone
F. But doing nothing in return will only result in more bullying
G. the bullies continue with their behavior thinking of us as an easy target

"Take it easy!" she told herself, leaning back hard against the wind.
"Go home!” the wind shouted. "Irene…go hooome…”
"I will do no such thing," she snapped. "No such thing, you wicked wind! The gown had to get to the duchess!" She went shuffling through the snow.
"Go ho-o-ome," the wind screamed.
"GO HO-WO-WOME," it shrieked, "or else…”
The wind decided to put on a show. It wrestled her for the package—walloped it, twisted it, shook it, snatched at it.
