John Frederick Kensett was born on March 22, 1816 in Cheshire, Connecticut. He attended school at Cheshire Academy, and studied carving with his immigrant father, Tomas Kensett, and later with his uncle. He worked as a carver in the New Haven area until about 1838, after which he went to work as a banknote carver in New York City. He didn’t know his carving experience would benefit him later. In 1840, Kensett traveled to Europe in order to study painting. He sketched (画素描) and painted throughout Europe, improving his talents. During this period, Kensett developed an affection for the 17th-century Dutch landscape painting. He returned to the United States in 1847.
After establishing his studio and settling in New York, Kensett traveled extensively throughout the Notheast and the Colorado Rockies as well as making several trips back to Europe.
Kensett is best known for his landscape of New York and New England and seascapes (海景画) of coastal New Jersey, Long Island and New England. He is most closely associated with the so-called “second generation” of the Hudson River School. In 1851 Kensett painted a monumental canvas (巨幅油画) of Mount Washington that has become a sign of White Mountain art.
Kensett’s style evolved gradually, from the traditional Hudson River School manner in the 1850s into the more improved Luminist style in his later years. By the early 1870s Kensett was spending considerable time at his home on Contentment Island, on Long Island Sound near Darien Connecticut.
It was during this time that Kensett painted some of his finest works. Many of these were seascapes, the major example being Eaton’s Neck, Long Island (1872) now in the collection of the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York.
The artist was widely praised and financially successful during his lifetime. In turn, he was generous in support of the arts and artists. He was a full member of the National Academy of Design, the founder and president of the Artists’ Fund Society, and a founder of the Metropolitan Museum of Art.
Kensett died of heart failure at his New York studio on December 14, 1872.
24．What can we learn about Kensett from the first paragraph
A．His carving work laid a foundation for his painting. B．His uncle taught him to paint before 1840.
C．He studied carving at Cheshire Academy. D．He painted throughout Europe to earn some money.
25．What was the feature of Kensett’s paintings
A．Most of them were in Luminist style.
B．They had nothing to do with White Mountain art.
C．They were once influenced by the Hudson River School.
D．All of them were closely associated with carving art.
26．When did Kensett produce his best paintings
A．When he first traveled in Europe. B．When he painted a monumental canvas.
C．When he learned the Dutch landscape painting. D．When he was in Connecticut in the early 1870s.
27．What can we infer about Kensett’s later life
A．He had financial problems. B．He retired early because of ill health.
C．He gained both fame and income. D．He devoted himself to charity work.
C
Right now you should know about two ways to represent numbers, as Roman numerals and Arabic numerals. Plus, people in other countries use different symbols for numbers. With all these different symbols, how can math be a universal language
Math is a universal language because the principles and foundations of math are the same everywhere around the world. Ten plus ten equals twenty if you write it as Arabic numerals 10+10=20 or Roman numerals X+X=XX. The concept of 20 items is the same no matter where you are in the world.
And what about geometry (几何) A circle is always a circle and its circumference (周长) is always calculated the same way no matter where you are in the world. The same holds true for any other figure like triangles, squares or rectangles.
We like to visit other countries to experience new scenery, new foods and a different culture. It’s fun to watch documentaries about festivals that we don’t have in North America. There is a great deal of cultural diversity in the world that we can enjoy and celebrate. But math is one thing that is common to everyone.
Different countries use different units of measurement; for example, the United States and the United Kingdom use inches and feet while the rest of Europe uses metric measurements of centimeters and meters. But no matter what the units are, everyone must measure the house that they are building. Houses everywhere, whether they are square or round, are built using the same mathematical equations (方程式).
The principles of probability are the same everywhere as well. The chance of rain in Guatemala might be greater than the chance of rain in the Sahara Desert but probability works the same way. People around the world have different genes but the probability of passing on genes to their children follows the same mathematical rules.
It is easy to see that no matter how diverse different cultures are, math is one common language across the world.
28．How many ways to stand for numbers are mentioned in the text
A．One. B．Two. C．Three. D．Four.
29．What is the author’s purpose in mentioning geometry in the third paragraph
A．To highlight the importance of math.
B．To study different shapes and forms.
C．To show how to calculate the circumference.
D．To prove math calculation is often used in it is always the same.
30．What does the underlined word “figure” mean in the third paragraph
A．Shape. B．Size. C．Picture. D．Field.
31．What can we infer from the fourth paragraph
A．Math has no distinct characteristics of diversity. B．Documentaries about festivals are always fun.
C．People hope to experience different cultures abroad. D．Culture has a huge impact on the development of math.
D
Though plastic shopping bags are cheap and useful, they cause widespread pollution. Now, we may have an unlikely helper to help clean up our garbage — a small wax worm.
The worm’s hidden skills were discovered by accident. About two years ago, Federica Bertocchini, a developmental biologist at the Spanish National Research Council and an amateur beekeeper, was cleaning out bees’ nest that had been filled with worms. She removed the worms and put them in a plastic bag while doing the cleaning. After finishing, she went back to the room where she had left the worms, and found they had escaped from the bag. When she checked, she saw that the bag was full of holes.
Realizing she may have made an important discovery, Bertocchini teamed up with other researchers to conduct further research. They began by placing 100 worms on some plastic bags and discovered that over a 24-hour period, the worms managed to chew through 92 milligrams of plastic. The researchers make an appropriate judgment that at this rate, the group of worms could degrade (降解) an average-sized 5.5-gram plastic bag within a month. To rule out the possibility that chewing was causing the degradation, the researchers spread the soft wet substance inside the body of some recently dead worms on a sheet of plastic. Sure enough, even the liquid was able to eat through the material, confirming that the worms have plastic-digesting enzymes (酶).
While the news is certainly encouraging, not everyone is convinced. The Michigan State University’s Ramani Narayan believes the tiny pieces of microplastics released by the plastic-eating worms would pick up harmful substances and transport them up the food chain, causing, even more, harm to the environment and human health. Susan Selke, director of Michigan State University School of Packaging, is concerned that the worms will not be able to survive in an oxygen-free landfills where large amounts of waste material are buried under the earth.
However, Bertocchini is not planning to transport worm armies to landfills. Instead, the researcher wants to identify the enzyme that helps degrade the plastic. The researcher says, maybe we can find the molecule (分子) and produce it on an industrial level, rather than using a million worms in a plastic bag.
32．What did the experiment of using dead worms find out
A．Worms’ chewing may cause the degradation. B．A plastic-eating chemical exists in wax worms.
C．Dead worms are effective in dealing with plastic. D．It takes a long time for worms to degrade plastic.
33．What is Ramani Naravan’s attitude to Bertocchini’s finding
A．Objective. B．Convinced. C．Questioning. D．Optimistic.
34．What might Bertocchini focus her later research on
A．The structure of plastic-degrading enzymes.
B．The use of other worms in disposing plastic.
C．Wax worms’ adaptability to the landfill environment.
D．The chance of producing wax worms on a large scale.
35．What is the best title for the text
A．Can wax worms save the environment B．Wax worms have an appetite for plastic.
C．Why do wax worms have plastic-eating skills D．Hungry worms join the fight against plastic pollution.

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。
If you travel to nearly any Chinese city in the summertime, you will see people, mostly men wearing T-shirts, sitting out on the sidewalks on low chairs in the shade, playing a game with large round disks of wood. 36 Xiangqi dates back as early as the Warring States period. While experts have different opinions as to who created Xiangqi and how it is linked to Western chess, there is no doubt that by the Tang Dynasty Xiangqi was a popular game in China. 37 And in the 20th century both Sun Yat-sen and Zhou Enlai were big fans of the game.
And, though it may look quite a bit different than Western chess, Xiangqiis actually quite similar in what the pieces can do and how the game is played. Like Western chess, the object of the game is to capture the other player’s “king”. 38
Unlike Western chess, instead of placing the preces in squares, the pieces are placed on the intersections of lines. Another big difference between Western chess and Xiangqi is that there is a large empty space in the middle of the board, which the elephants cannot cross. 39 This space refers to an area in China where Liu Bang and Xiang Yu had a life-or-death war. The war was so influential that “the Chu River and the Han Boundary” has become a metaphor (隐喻) referring to any boundary between two opposing armies. When the Chinese people today see this name on the board, the battle scenes come to their mind, as though they are surrounded by thick smoke, able to hear the beating of war drums. 40
A．Actually, in Xiangqi he is just a general.
B．During the Qing Dynasty its popularity grew.
C．It is called the Chu River and the Han Boundary.
D．The game is called Xiangqi, a game of ordinary people.
E．There are many differences between Xiangqi and Western chess.
F．An intense battle is about to take place on this small chessboard.
G．Several sayings related to Xiangqi are in common use in China today.

阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
I needed to do something in my community (社区) in order to complete the community service hours required to graduate from high school. Some of my friends had signed up to spend time at a soup kitchen, so I did, too. It seemed like a good thing to do.
I thought that we would just be passing out dinners to those in need, but I found out we would be doing everything from preparing to serving the dinner. We began preparing the food, from mixing salad dressing to separating frozen meat. Much still needed to be done before dinner was served, but already outside the building many homeless people were gathering. It wasn’t until a couple of hours later that we opened the doors and began serving dinner.
As the line of people came toward me, I got a little scared. I’d come face to face with the homeless: How should I act How would they treat me Would they hate me for having more than they did While some of the people looked very friendly, some of them looked so dangerous. I didn’t have too much time to worry about it. I was assigned (分配) to serve the salad with the lady next to me. She smiled at me and said if I needed help, she’d be right there, which I found quite comforting,
I had never seen so many people wanting food. They were of all ages and nationalities. Most of them wore clothes that were torn and dirty. Some looked like they had tally given up on life, while others seemed to be making the best of the situation, smiling and joking. Some were better off than others, but they all needed a good meal and a warm place to eat. It saddened me to think of how many people there were who didn’t have a place to call home and the only food they got came from a soup kitchen.
注意：1．续写词数应为150左右

As they came in my direction, I put on my brightest and happiest smile. I wanted to make them know that I was really anxious to help them. To my relief they smiled politely back at me when they saw my smile, and I could see their exhaustion in their eyes. I wanted to know what they were going through and I was desperate to know what I could do for them. They nodded gratefully as I pushed my spoon into the pot and took a large spoonful and poured it into their bowls.
I was so happy that I had earned my service hours in this way. This experience made me realize that there are so many people in this world who need our help. It also made me realize that our small act of kindness can make them feel warm and make a great difference to them. I will never forget the way they looked at me when they were given food. I am anxious to urge the world to do everything possible to help those in need.

John Frederick Kensett was born on March 22, 1816 in Cheshire, Connecticut. He attended school at Cheshire Academy, and studied carving with his immigrant father, Tomas Kensett, and later with his uncle. He worked as a carver in the New Haven area until about 1838, after which he went to work as a banknote carver in New York City. He didn’t know his carving experience would benefit him later. In 1840, Kensett traveled to Europe in order to study painting. He sketched (画素描) and painted throughout Europe, improving his talents. During this period, Kensett developed an affection for the 17th-century Dutch landscape painting. He returned to the United States in 1847.
After establishing his studio and settling in New York, Kensett traveled extensively throughout the Notheast and the Colorado Rockies as well as making several trips back to Europe.
Kensett is best known for his landscape of New York and New England and seascapes (海景画) of coastal New Jersey, Long Island and New England. He is most closely associated with the so-called “second generation” of the Hudson River School. In 1851 Kensett painted a monumental canvas (巨幅油画) of Mount Washington that has become a sign of White Mountain art.
Kensett’s style evolved gradually, from the traditional Hudson River School manner in the 1850s into the more improved Luminist style in his later years. By the early 1870s Kensett was spending considerable time at his home on Contentment Island, on Long Island Sound near Darien Connecticut.
It was during this time that Kensett painted some of his finest works. Many of these were seascapes, the major example being Eaton’s Neck, Long Island (1872) now in the collection of the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York.
The artist was widely praised and financially successful during his lifetime. In turn, he was generous in support of the arts and artists. He was a full member of the National Academy of Design, the founder and president of the Artists’ Fund Society, and a founder of the Metropolitan Museum of Art.
Kensett died of heart failure at his New York studio on December 14, 1872.
24．What can we learn about Kensett from the first paragraph
A．His carving work laid a foundation for his painting. B．His uncle taught him to paint before 1840.
C．He studied carving at Cheshire Academy. D．He painted throughout Europe to earn some money.
25．What was the feature of Kensett’s paintings
A．Most of them were in Luminist style.
B．They had nothing to do with White Mountain art.
C．They were once influenced by the Hudson River School.
D．All of them were closely associated with carving art.
26．When did Kensett produce his best paintings
A．When he first traveled in Europe. B．When he painted a monumental canvas.
C．When he learned the Dutch landscape painting. D．When he was in Connecticut in the early 1870s.
27．What can we infer about Kensett’s later life
A．He had financial problems. B．He retired early because of ill health.
C．He gained both fame and income. D．He devoted himself to charity work.
C
Right now you should know about two ways to represent numbers, as Roman numerals and Arabic numerals. Plus, people in other countries use different symbols for numbers. With all these different symbols, how can math be a universal language
Math is a universal language because the principles and foundations of math are the same everywhere around the world. Ten plus ten equals twenty if you write it as Arabic numerals 10+10=20 or Roman numerals X+X=XX. The concept of 20 items is the same no matter where you are in the world.
And what about geometry (几何) A circle is always a circle and its circumference (周长) is always calculated the same way no matter where you are in the world. The same holds true for any other figure like triangles, squares or rectangles.
We like to visit other countries to experience new scenery, new foods and a different culture. It’s fun to watch documentaries about festivals that we don’t have in North America. There is a great deal of cultural diversity in the world that we can enjoy and celebrate. But math is one thing that is common to everyone.
Different countries use different units of measurement; for example, the United States and the United Kingdom use inches and feet while the rest of Europe uses metric measurements of centimeters and meters. But no matter what the units are, everyone must measure the house that they are building. Houses everywhere, whether they are square or round, are built using the same mathematical equations (方程式).
The principles of probability are the same everywhere as well. The chance of rain in Guatemala might be greater than the chance of rain in the Sahara Desert but probability works the same way. People around the world have different genes but the probability of passing on genes to their children follows the same mathematical rules.
It is easy to see that no matter how diverse different cultures are, math is one common language across the world.
28．How many ways to stand for numbers are mentioned in the text
A．One. B．Two. C．Three. D．Four.
29．What is the author’s purpose in mentioning geometry in the third paragraph
A．To highlight the importance of math.
B．To study different shapes and forms.
C．To show how to calculate the circumference.
D．To prove math calculation is often used in it is always the same.
30．What does the underlined word “figure” mean in the third paragraph
A．Shape. B．Size. C．Picture. D．Field.
31．What can we infer from the fourth paragraph
A．Math has no distinct characteristics of diversity. B．Documentaries about festivals are always fun.
C．People hope to experience different cultures abroad. D．Culture has a huge impact on the development of math.
D
Though plastic shopping bags are cheap and useful, they cause widespread pollution. Now, we may have an unlikely helper to help clean up our garbage — a small wax worm.
The worm’s hidden skills were discovered by accident. About two years ago, Federica Bertocchini, a developmental biologist at the Spanish National Research Council and an amateur beekeeper, was cleaning out bees’ nest that had been filled with worms. She removed the worms and put them in a plastic bag while doing the cleaning. After finishing, she went back to the room where she had left the worms, and found they had escaped from the bag. When she checked, she saw that the bag was full of holes.
Realizing she may have made an important discovery, Bertocchini teamed up with other researchers to conduct further research. They began by placing 100 worms on some plastic bags and discovered that over a 24-hour period, the worms managed to chew through 92 milligrams of plastic. The researchers make an appropriate judgment that at this rate, the group of worms could degrade (降解) an average-sized 5.5-gram plastic bag within a month. To rule out the possibility that chewing was causing the degradation, the researchers spread the soft wet substance inside the body of some recently dead worms on a sheet of plastic. Sure enough, even the liquid was able to eat through the material, confirming that the worms have plastic-digesting enzymes (酶).
While the news is certainly encouraging, not everyone is convinced. The Michigan State University’s Ramani Narayan believes the tiny pieces of microplastics released by the plastic-eating worms would pick up harmful substances and transport them up the food chain, causing, even more, harm to the environment and human health. Susan Selke, director of Michigan State University School of Packaging, is concerned that the worms will not be able to survive in an oxygen-free landfills where large amounts of waste material are buried under the earth.
However, Bertocchini is not planning to transport worm armies to landfills. Instead, the researcher wants to identify the enzyme that helps degrade the plastic. The researcher says, maybe we can find the molecule (分子) and produce it on an industrial level, rather than using a million worms in a plastic bag.
32．What did the experiment of using dead worms find out
A．Worms’ chewing may cause the degradation. B．A plastic-eating chemical exists in wax worms.
C．Dead worms are effective in dealing with plastic. D．It takes a long time for worms to degrade plastic.
33．What is Ramani Naravan’s attitude to Bertocchini’s finding
A．Objective. B．Convinced. C．Questioning. D．Optimistic.
34．What might Bertocchini focus her later research on
A．The structure of plastic-degrading enzymes.
B．The use of other worms in disposing plastic.
C．Wax worms’ adaptability to the landfill environment.
D．The chance of producing wax worms on a large scale.
35．What is the best title for the text
A．Can wax worms save the environment B．Wax worms have an appetite for plastic.
C．Why do wax worms have plastic-eating skills D．Hungry worms join the fight against plastic pollution.

If you travel to nearly any Chinese city in the summertime, you will see people, mostly men wearing T-shirts, sitting out on the sidewalks on low chairs in the shade, playing a game with large round disks of wood. 36 Xiangqi dates back as early as the Warring States period. While experts have different opinions as to who created Xiangqi and how it is linked to Western chess, there is no doubt that by the Tang Dynasty Xiangqi was a popular game in China. 37 And in the 20th century both Sun Yat-sen and Zhou Enlai were big fans of the game.
And, though it may look quite a bit different than Western chess, Xiangqiis actually quite similar in what the pieces can do and how the game is played. Like Western chess, the object of the game is to capture the other player’s “king”. 38
Unlike Western chess, instead of placing the preces in squares, the pieces are placed on the intersections of lines. Another big difference between Western chess and Xiangqi is that there is a large empty space in the middle of the board, which the elephants cannot cross. 39 This space refers to an area in China where Liu Bang and Xiang Yu had a life-or-death war. The war was so influential that “the Chu River and the Han Boundary” has become a metaphor (隐喻) referring to any boundary between two opposing armies. When the Chinese people today see this name on the board, the battle scenes come to their mind, as though they are surrounded by thick smoke, able to hear the beating of war drums. 40
A．Actually, in Xiangqi he is just a general.
B．During the Qing Dynasty its popularity grew.
C．It is called the Chu River and the Han Boundary.
D．The game is called Xiangqi, a game of ordinary people.
E．There are many differences between Xiangqi and Western chess.
F．An intense battle is about to take place on this small chessboard.
G．Several sayings related to Xiangqi are in common use in China today.

I needed to do something in my community (社区) in order to complete the community service hours required to graduate from high school. Some of my friends had signed up to spend time at a soup kitchen, so I did, too. It seemed like a good thing to do.
I thought that we would just be passing out dinners to those in need, but I found out we would be doing everything from preparing to serving the dinner. We began preparing the food, from mixing salad dressing to separating frozen meat. Much still needed to be done before dinner was served, but already outside the building many homeless people were gathering. It wasn’t until a couple of hours later that we opened the doors and began serving dinner.
As the line of people came toward me, I got a little scared. I’d come face to face with the homeless: How should I act How would they treat me Would they hate me for having more than they did While some of the people looked very friendly, some of them looked so dangerous. I didn’t have too much time to worry about it. I was assigned (分配) to serve the salad with the lady next to me. She smiled at me and said if I needed help, she’d be right there, which I found quite comforting,
I had never seen so many people wanting food. They were of all ages and nationalities. Most of them wore clothes that were torn and dirty. Some looked like they had tally given up on life, while others seemed to be making the best of the situation, smiling and joking. Some were better off than others, but they all needed a good meal and a warm place to eat. It saddened me to think of how many people there were who didn’t have a place to call home and the only food they got came from a soup kitchen.

As they came in my direction, I put on my brightest and happiest smile. I wanted to make them know that I was really anxious to help them. To my relief they smiled politely back at me when they saw my smile, and I could see their exhaustion in their eyes. I wanted to know what they were going through and I was desperate to know what I could do for them. They nodded gratefully as I pushed my spoon into the pot and took a large spoonful and poured it into their bowls.
I was so happy that I had earned my service hours in this way. This experience made me realize that there are so many people in this world who need our help. It also made me realize that our small act of kindness can make them feel warm and make a great difference to them. I will never forget the way they looked at me when they were given food. I am anxious to urge the world to do everything possible to help those in need.
