The painting “Portrait(肖像) of Omai” was finished in 1774 and was sold to John Magnier in 2001. When he wants to take the painting out of the country, the government believes it’s important for Britain and stops him doing so. Yet British buyers can’t raise the money needed to get it from Mr. Magnier before the deadline of a ban one exporting it. A solution may now involve Getty Museum in Los Angeles; it could be a model for her treasured artworks too expensive for the nation to buy.
Most countries have export restrictions on their cultural treasures. Many European counts a low the government to step in and buy any work offered for sale. Britain operates a system called Waverley standards, balancing the aims of keeping important pieces and protecting the rights of their owners. Valuable pieces are evaluated at monthly meetings of a committee of owners, dealers and art historians. The most important works are kept in Britain temporarily while institutions at home try to raise the funds to buy them.
Mr. Magnier paid 10.3 million for “Portrait of Omai”. Now he wants 50 million for it, a fair value. The National Portrait Gallery (NPG) in London has been trying to raise the cash, but only half the money had been raised. The NPG’s answer is to buy the painting together with the Getty Museum, spending half its time in London and the other half in California. In 2015 a similar arrangement was agreed between France and the Netherlands to share ownership of a pair of important portraits by Rembrandt.
The Waverley standards were meant to keep Brit in’s cultural treasures at home. But protecting an artwork for the nation for some time maybe all that can be achieved. Closed for three years for repair, the NPG hopes it will open its doors again with “Portrait of Omai” as its glory.
24、What can we learn about Magnier from Para. 1
A. He painted a portrait of an Englishman. B. He wanted to take the painting abroad.
C. He illegally took hold of the paining. D. He solved the problem with a portrait.
25、What do the Waverley standards do to keep cultural treasures at home
A. They set aside time for home purchase. B. They checkout annual export licences.
C. They decide a ban on the rare treasures. D. They advertise the sales of the treasures.
26、What will be the final solution to “Portrait of Omai”
A. Britain takes it for permanent ownership. B. Mr. Magnier takes it abroad after the deadline.
C. Britain works with France to share its ownership. D. NPG and the Getty Museum share its ownership.
27、Which of the following can be the best title for the text
A. The Cooperation of World’s Galleries B. The Protection of Galleries’ Paintings
C. A New Way to Save Art for the Nation D. A Clever Way to Stop Loss of Paintings
C
An infectious disease is a disease that is caused by the invasion of a host by pathogens(病原体)whose activities harm the host’s tissues and can be spread to other individuals.
Microorganisms(微生物) capable of causing disease are called pathogens. A true pathogen is an infectious agent that causes disease in any possible host. The terms "infection" and "disease" are quite different. In order to cause disease, pathogens must be able to enter the host body, stick to specific host cells, invade and multiply and do damage to host tissues.
Pathogens may be spread through either direct or indirect contact. Direct contact occurs when an individual is infected by contact with the infection source. It also includes taking in the infectious droplets released by sneezing or coughing. Indirect contact occurs when a pathogen can survive the environment outside its host for a long period of time. So lifeless objects that are polluted by direct contact with the infection source may be the indirect contact for easily infected group.
Public health measures typically involve killing the pathogen from its source or from its route of spread. Those measures include ensuring a safe water supply, effectively treating waste water, and initiating animal control and vaccination(疫苗) programs, etc. Personally, the first line of defense is to keep pathogen at bay by following good personal hygiene(卫生) habits. Prevent infection before it begins and avoid spreading it to others with some easy measures, such as washing hands, getting vaccinated and so on.
Man never stops fighting against all kinds of infectious diseases. But in the past two decades at least a dozen "new" disease have been identified, and traditional diseases that appeared to be "on their way out" are re-emerging. Globally, infectious diseases remain the leading cause of death. Clearly, the ballet has not been won. Nevertheless, it is increasingly difficult for most of us to deny the claims of science. We are continually presented with great amounts of relevant scientific and medical knowledge, which encourages us to take more responsibility for our own health.
28.What’s the main idea of paragraph 2
A.Origin of true pathogens. B.Strategies for avoiding tissue damage.
C.Nature of infectious diseases. D.Differences between infection and disease.
29.What is likely to cause disease spread through indirect contact
A.Breathing in tiny drops from coughing B.Embracing an infected person.
C.Getting bitten by an infected cat. D.Using umbrella a sick man used.
30.What does the underlined phrase “at bay” in paragraph 4 mean
A.At risk. B.Under control. C.Stay away. D.Within reach.
31.What can we infer about the last paragraph
A.Science plays an important in defeating infectious diseases.
B.Man is at a loss about infectious diseases.
C.Traditional infectious diseases are dying out.
D.The battle against infectious diseases is in vain.
D
Ignore what they say about TV shows rotting your brain—our research finds that many people are using television shows as both a form of entertainment and a way to help them learn English. One of the best ways to teach and to learn how to speak the English language is to actually watch American and British television shows and some learning channels.
We are interested in discovering what English learners are watching to help them improve their skills outside of the classroom. US political drama series House of Cards is the most popular TV show among our 6,000 global survey participants, particularly in China, the Republic of Korea and India. British period drama Downton Abbey is the favourite of Russian and Japanese respondents. However, learners in Mexico, the USA, Turkey and Brazil prefer Breaking Bad.
The rise of on-demand streaming services has enabled viewers all over the world to watch shows without having to wait for them to be broadcast in their country, which explains why shows created especially for online providers, such as House of Cards, have become so universally popular.
Perhaps one of the biggest surprising success stories is Downton Abbey, which is one of the most-watched British TV shows of all time. The show, which explores the lives of an aristocratic(贵族的) British family and their servants during the early twentieth century, has been watched by more than 120 million people worldwide. The creators didn't expect the subject matter to resonate(引起共鸣) so well with global viewers, but most of the stories are about emotional situations that everyone can relate to, no matter where they are in the world.
Television programs may be a fun way to improve vocabularies and build familiarity with genuine dialogues and different cultures, but in recent years there have been complaints that actors are mumbling(含糊地说) their lines. Even native English speakers are struggling to understand what they are watching on screen. This is partly down to the desire for actors to appear "genuine" and capture the true features of a character.
32.Why has the drama series House of Cards become so popular
A.It is only shown on TV. B.Its plots interest everyone.
C.It is about the life of the British aristocracy. D.The audience can watch it online without waiting.
33.What has been the problem with language learning through television programs in recent years
A.The actors' terrible acting. B.The actors' unclear lines.
C.The dramas' bad plots. D.The dramas' bad lines.
34.What is probably the purpose of the research
A.To show that people like American and British TV shows.
B.To introduce viewers to the world's most popular TV series.
C.To prove that television shows are helpful in learning English.
D.To explain the function of television shows.
35.What is the text mainly about
A.A fun way to learn English. B.How to learn English better.
C.Where to find popular foreign TV shows. D.The disadvantages of watching TV shows.

Once, when I was a teenager, my father and I were standing in line to buy tickets for the circus (马戏). Finally, there was only one family between us and the ticket counter.
This family made a big impression on me. There were eight children, all probably under the age of twelve. You could tell they didn’t have a lot of money.
Their clothes were not expensive, but they were clean. The children were well-behaved, all of them standing in line, two-by-two behind their parents, holding hands. They were excitedly talking about the clowns, elephants, and other acts they would see that night with their brothers or sisters in a low voice.
It was clear that they had never been to the circus before. The father was at the head of the pack, and the mother was holding her husband’s hand. The ticket lady asked the father how many tickets he wanted. He proudly responded, “Please let me buy eight children’s tickets and two adult tickets so I can take my family to the circus.”
The ticket lady gave that price. The man’s wife let go of his hand, her head dropped. The father leaned a little closer and asked, “How much did you say ” The ticket lady gave the price again. The man didn’t have enough money.
How could he turn and tell his eight children that he didn’t have enough money to take them to the circus
Actually we were not wealthy in any sense. So I understood how the kids would feel. I felt sorry for them.
注意:1.续写词数应为150左右;

The terms “infection” and “disease” are quite different. “能够引起疾病的微生物被称为病原体。真正的病原体是在任何可能的宿主中引起疾病的传染媒介。“感染”和“疾病”的术语是完全不同的。”由此可知,第二段讲述的是“传染病的本质。”故选C。

31.推理判断题。根据最后一段中Nevertheless, it is increasingly difficult for most of us to deny the claims of science. We are continually presented with great amounts of relevant scientific and medical knowledge, which encourages us to take more responsibility for our own health. “然而,我们大多数人越来越难以否认科学的断言。我们不断地接触大量相关的科学和医学知识,这鼓励我们为自己的健康承担更多的责任。”由此可知,科学在战胜传染病方面起着重要作用。故选A。
D、答案:32-35DBCA

33.细节理解题。根据第五段中的but in recent years there have been complaints that actors are mumbling their lines和Even native English speakers are...可知, 观众抱怨演员的台词说得含糊不清, 甚至连以英语为母语的人也很难理解。因而, 近年来演员含糊不清的台词给通过电视节目学习语言的人带来了困难。
34推理判断题。文章第一段开门见山, 明确指出our research finds that many people are using television shows as both a form of entertainment and a way to help them learn English; 第二段第一句指出该研究旨在探究英语学习者通过观看何种节目来在课外提升语言技能。综上所述, 该研究的目的在于证明电视节目对学习英语有帮助。
35主旨大意题。文章第一段开篇点题, 指出研究发现: 电视节目既可作为一种娱乐方式, 又是一种帮助人们学习英语的方式。下文使用具体例子展开说明。第五段指出电视节目可增加词汇量并使人们熟悉真实对话和不同文化。由此可知, 本文主要介绍了电视节目是一种学习英语的有趣方式。
七选五、答案:DAGBF
解析:36.空前一句提到"In Asia, messaging platforms are growing rapidly, with users in the hundreds of millions, both at work and play.", D项在内容上承接上文, 且进一步说明了信息收发平台在全球范围内日益风行, D项符合语境。
37.根据前句"Using emojis can add humor and feeling, keeping intention clear."和后半句"encouraging better and more frequent communication"可知, 这里陈述使用表情符号的优点。故A项符合语境。
38.根据前句"In any given office, employees can range from age 22 to 70 and beyond, and finding common ground in communication style can be a challenge."可知, 在不同年龄的雇员之间找到沟通方式上的共同点可能是个挑战, G项则是针对该挑战的解决办法。
39.根据前句"Who hasn't received an email so annoying that it ruined an entire day "和后文介绍表情符号的优点可知, 这里陈述电子邮件的缺点。故B项符合语境。
40.根据后句"and emoji can contribute directly to that positive outcome"可知, 空处应该体现"that positive outcome", 也就是F项中的"a happier workplace"。故F项符合语境。
