I think that I always knew I wanted to become an artist.I can't remember a time when I wasn't drawing or painting pictures.My oldest sister and my brother were artistic, and watching them draw fascinated me.They had many different art supplies around the house.Boxes of pastels, little ink bottles and pens were very appealing.
My parents and friends soon saw that I had more than a passing interest in art.It came to define much of my image.Relatives gave me art-related birthday gifts.At school I became “the kid who could draw”， a unique distinction, like “brainiest” or “best athlete”．
As I got a little older, I began copying pictures: cartoons, comic books, and magazine illustrations.
My third-grade class wrote essays on what we wanted to be when we grew up.To me it was obvious.We read them aloud, and I told about the types of paintings I would some day try.I'd have turtles with paintbrushes tied to their backs walking around on a big sheet of paper.Or I'd fill squirt guns (水枪) with different colored paints and shoot at the canvas.I actually tried this with friends! Well, it sounded like a good idea.
One of the only discouraging childhood experiences about my artwork happened in the fourth grade.During study time I was drawing a picture.My teacher took it away and wrote an angry note home to my mother.“David would rather be drawing pictures than doing his work！！！” I couldn't believe it, three exclamation points.School “art classes” were pretty uninspiring.Art never seemed to be taken as seriously as other subjects.
In the eighth grade, a big career day was held.Months before, we wrote suggestions for careers we wanted to hear about.On the big day, guest speakers from many fields came to talk, but there wasn't one that came close to an art-related field.
In high school it actually sank in that I was going to be an artist.I already knew.I'd always known.My parents were excited about my choice, too.As I looked into art schools, I felt like doors were being thrown wide open.Until then my art was a private thing, but at art school I found a place where everyone as “the kid who could draw”．

It has been described as art by some people, but to others it's an ugly part of modern life.What is it Graffiti, of course.Look around cities in the UK today and you can see graffiti on buildings, walls, doors and even on buses or trains that have stayed in one place for too long.But where modern technology creates a problem, it also finds a way to deal with it.Last week, The Weekend West was shown around the factory of a small but successful company, Hubdean.
Hubdean's achievement is a series of special paints which are graffiti-resistant.How do they work It couldn't be simpler.Take any graffiti-covered surface.First, a treatment called Agproclear is used.Then, using a very hot pressure jet (压力喷嘴), this treatment is taken away and the graffiti disappears at the same time.Now you have a clean wall.But before this clean wall can be painted on by graffiti lovers, a new product, Agproshield, is used.This paint has a special surface which gives it two important advantages.Firstly, spray paint (喷雾颜料) won't stick to the surface very well, and secondly, the whole surface can be cleaned very easily, just using water.Once the surface is painted, no specialist equipment is needed to keep the area clean and graffiti-free.
Not surprisingly, Hubdean's products are used by both local governments and private companies all over the UK, and now orders are being received from around the world.This brings the company a problem, however.Can they increase production to satisfy the needs Of course, they can build a second factory or work with a large international company to make their products.The future is looking good for Hubdean!

9．When should Agproshield be used

B．When the wall is still clean.
C．When Agproclear doesn't work.

Some of the oldest art in human history is being damaged, scientists say.And climate change may be speeding up its loss.New research reports that ancient rock art in Indonesian caves is degrading over time, as bits of rock slowly break off from the walls.It's a huge loss for human history.
Salt crystals (结晶) building up on the walls are a key part of the problem, the study suggests.These salt crystals go into the cave walls, changing sizes as temperatures rise and fall.This process causes the rock to slowly break down.
Salt crystals may become larger when exposed to repeated changes between wet conditions and periods of drought.These kinds of changes are expected to become more obvious as the climate continues to warm.
In particular, the researchers say, climate change may cause more intense El Nino (厄尔尼诺) events in the future.These events can strengthen the kinds of conditions that help salt crystals form. Scientists are still debating the exact influence of climate change on El Nino, a natural climate cycle that drives changing patterns of warming and cooling in the Pacific Ocean.
The new study, led by Jillian Huntley, examined 11 ancient cave art sites in South Sulawesi, Indonesia.The researchers found evidence of salt formation at all 11 sites.It's merely a small part. There are more than 300 known cave art sites around the region.The researchers note that salt crystals may indeed be part of the problem, adding that climate change is a growing threat, one that deserves more attention.

A．El Nino events prevent salt crystals forming.
B．Climate change makes little difference to El Nino.
C．Salt crystals may become much larger in wet conditions.
D．Constant warm weather may cause salt crystals to change size.
解析：选D 细节理解题。根据第三段的“Salt crystals may become larger ...These kinds of changes are expected to become more obvious as the climate continues to warm.”可知，研究人员可能会同意：持续温暖的天气可能会导致盐晶体的大小发生变化。
14．Which word best describes Huntley's attitude to climate change
A．Worried. B．Curious.
C．Doubtful. D．Positive.
解析：选A 观点态度题。根据最后一段的“The new study, led by Jillian Huntley”可知，研究是Jillian Huntley领导的；再根据最后一句“The researchers note that salt crystals may indeed be part of the problem, adding that climate change is a growing threat, one that deserves more attention.”可推断，Huntley担心气候变化，认为其值得进一步关注。
15．What can we learn from the last paragraph
A．The formation and patterns of salt crystals.
B．The impact of climate change on ancient rock arts.
C．The historical value of ancient rock art in cave sites.
D．The threats of human activities to ancient cave art sites.

41．thickness 考查名词。根据空前的“the”和空后的“of”可知，空处应用名词形式，故填thickness。
42．more 考查形容词的比较级。根据该句中的比较级“less”并结合语境可知，该处表示“运用更多或者更少的墨水”，故填more。
43．began 考查动词时态。根据该句中的“more than 3,000 years ago”并结合句意可知，该处陈述的是过去发生的事情，故用一般过去时。
44．eventually 考查副词。空处修饰动词短语evolved into，故用副词形式。
45．depending 考查非谓语动词。分析句子结构可知，此处为分词作状语，且动词与逻辑主语之间为主动关系，故填depending。

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。
One evening, it was raining heavily. An old lady was sitting inside her car, stuck in the middle of the road. It was clear that she needed help badly. A poorly dressed man went near her car. He was hesitating to speak to her but still approached.
The lady pulled down the glass of the driver's seat. She looked worried. She tried to wear a smile seeing a needy man approaching her.
The man opened his mouth，“Hello, Ma'am, can I help you？” The lady looked puzzled and said, “Yes.” “Please wait inside your car and let me see if I can solve the problem. By the way, I am Thomas Anderson，” Thomas said.
Thomas discovered that she got a flat tire (车胎漏气). Soon he went to fix the problem. After he finished, the lady began to talk to him.
She said, “I really don't have enough words to thank you. How much should I pay you？” She was actually ready to reward him for his kindness.
Thomas was surprised. He had never expected any reward from her, though his family needed money badly for their baby was going to be born the very next month.
He told her, “That's so nice of you, Ma'am. But if you really want to pay me back, the next time you see someone who needs help, please think of me and help that person. I hope this chain of love will not end with you.” He smiled and went away before the lady could further say anything.
The lady was so astonished. Anyone who saw the ragged (穿着破烂的) man would think how much he needed help. But he just told her something that she never thought of.
On her way, she found a small café down the road. She wanted to have a cup of warm coffee. As the lady went inside, a waitress came up to her with a very clean towel so that she could wipe her hair. The lady observed that the waitress, who was all smiles to her, was heavily pregnant (怀孕的). She looked like she needed rest but she tried not to show any sign of tiredness.
注意：1.续写词数应为150左右；
2．请按如下格式作答。
Paragraph 1：
While drinking the coffee, the old lady thought of Thomas and his words to her.
Paragraph 2：
The waitress found that below the napkin (餐巾) there were 500 dollars.
参考范文：
Paragraph 1：
While drinking the coffee, the old lady thought of Thomas and his words to her. She knew what to do. After she finished, she paid her bill. When the waitress came back with the change, the lady was gone. The waitress looked for her outside the café but the lady and her car were out of sight. Confused, she came back. While she was about to clean the table, she found a note written on the napkin. The note read, “Someone helped me out just the way I'm helping you. If you really want to pay me back, please don't let this chain of love end with you.”
Paragraph 2：
The waitress found that below the napkin (餐巾) there were 500 dollars. She wondered how the lady knew how much this money meant to her, with the baby to be born the very next month. She took the money and went back home. While having dinner, she shared the story of the kind lady with her husband, Thomas Anderson. Both of them realized that it was Thomas's kindness that was rewarded in a special way.UNIT 7 单元验收评价(一) 单元语基温故

I think that I always knew I wanted to become an artist.I can't remember a time when I wasn't drawing or painting pictures.My oldest sister and my brother were artistic, and watching them draw fascinated me.They had many different art supplies around the house.Boxes of pastels, little ink bottles and pens were very appealing.
My parents and friends soon saw that I had more than a passing interest in art.It came to define much of my image.Relatives gave me art-related birthday gifts.At school I became “the kid who could draw”， a unique distinction, like “brainiest” or “best athlete”．
As I got a little older, I began copying pictures: cartoons, comic books, and magazine illustrations.
My third-grade class wrote essays on what we wanted to be when we grew up.To me it was obvious.We read them aloud, and I told about the types of paintings I would some day try.I'd have turtles with paintbrushes tied to their backs walking around on a big sheet of paper.Or I'd fill squirt guns (水枪) with different colored paints and shoot at the canvas.I actually tried this with friends! Well, it sounded like a good idea.
One of the only discouraging childhood experiences about my artwork happened in the fourth grade.During study time I was drawing a picture.My teacher took it away and wrote an angry note home to my mother.“David would rather be drawing pictures than doing his work！！！” I couldn't believe it, three exclamation points.School “art classes” were pretty uninspiring.Art never seemed to be taken as seriously as other subjects.
In the eighth grade, a big career day was held.Months before, we wrote suggestions for careers we wanted to hear about.On the big day, guest speakers from many fields came to talk, but there wasn't one that came close to an art-related field.
In high school it actually sank in that I was going to be an artist.I already knew.I'd always known.My parents were excited about my choice, too.As I looked into art schools, I felt like doors were being thrown wide open.Until then my art was a private thing, but at art school I found a place where everyone as “the kid who could draw”．
4．The author became interested in art because of ________.
A．his parents' wish
B．some schools' appeal
C．his family members' influence
D．some experts' suggestion
5．In the fourth grade, the author ________.
A．began copying pictures

C．was discouraged by a teacher
D．got suggestions from guest speakers
6．From the last paragraph, we can learn that the author _________.

It has been described as art by some people, but to others it's an ugly part of modern life.What is it Graffiti, of course.Look around cities in the UK today and you can see graffiti on buildings, walls, doors and even on buses or trains that have stayed in one place for too long.But where modern technology creates a problem, it also finds a way to deal with it.Last week, The Weekend West was shown around the factory of a small but successful company, Hubdean.
Hubdean's achievement is a series of special paints which are graffiti-resistant.How do they work It couldn't be simpler.Take any graffiti-covered surface.First, a treatment called Agproclear is used.Then, using a very hot pressure jet (压力喷嘴), this treatment is taken away and the graffiti disappears at the same time.Now you have a clean wall.But before this clean wall can be painted on by graffiti lovers, a new product, Agproshield, is used.This paint has a special surface which gives it two important advantages.Firstly, spray paint (喷雾颜料) won't stick to the surface very well, and secondly, the whole surface can be cleaned very easily, just using water.Once the surface is painted, no specialist equipment is needed to keep the area clean and graffiti-free.
Not surprisingly, Hubdean's products are used by both local governments and private companies all over the UK, and now orders are being received from around the world.This brings the company a problem, however.Can they increase production to satisfy the needs Of course, they can build a second factory or work with a large international company to make their products.The future is looking good for Hubdean!
8．What does the underlined word “graffiti-resistant” in Paragraph 2 mean
A．Painting graffiti. B．Keeping graffiti.
C．Preventing graffiti. D．Changing graffiti.
9．When should Agproshield be used
A．Before Agproclear is used.
B．When the wall is still clean.
C．When Agproclear doesn't work.
D．After graffiti is painted on the wall.
10．What can we learn about Hubdean
A．There is a good market for its products.
B．A large company is going to buy its products.
C．It is developing more new and better products.
D．Most of its business comes from private companies.
11．What would be the best title for the text
A．Is Hubdean successful
B．Is graffiti art Of course not!
C．Hubdean, a high-tech company
D．Graffiti a problem Just wash it off!
D
Some of the oldest art in human history is being damaged, scientists say.And climate change may be speeding up its loss.New research reports that ancient rock art in Indonesian caves is degrading over time, as bits of rock slowly break off from the walls.It's a huge loss for human history.
Salt crystals (结晶) building up on the walls are a key part of the problem, the study suggests.These salt crystals go into the cave walls, changing sizes as temperatures rise and fall.This process causes the rock to slowly break down.
Salt crystals may become larger when exposed to repeated changes between wet conditions and periods of drought.These kinds of changes are expected to become more obvious as the climate continues to warm.
In particular, the researchers say, climate change may cause more intense El Nino (厄尔尼诺) events in the future.These events can strengthen the kinds of conditions that help salt crystals form. Scientists are still debating the exact influence of climate change on El Nino, a natural climate cycle that drives changing patterns of warming and cooling in the Pacific Ocean.
The new study, led by Jillian Huntley, examined 11 ancient cave art sites in South Sulawesi, Indonesia.The researchers found evidence of salt formation at all 11 sites.It's merely a small part. There are more than 300 known cave art sites around the region.The researchers note that salt crystals may indeed be part of the problem, adding that climate change is a growing threat, one that deserves more attention.
12．What is the main cause of the rocks breaking off from the wall
A．Weather patterns. B．Salt crystals.
C．Wet conditions. D．Drought periods.
13．Which of the following may researchers agree with
A．El Nino events prevent salt crystals forming.
B．Climate change makes little difference to El Nino.
C．Salt crystals may become much larger in wet conditions.
D．Constant warm weather may cause salt crystals to change size.
14．Which word best describes Huntley's attitude to climate change
A．Worried. B．Curious.
C．Doubtful. D．Positive.
15．What can we learn from the last paragraph
A．The formation and patterns of salt crystals.
B．The impact of climate change on ancient rock arts.
C．The historical value of ancient rock art in cave sites.
D．The threats of human activities to ancient cave art sites.

One evening, it was raining heavily. An old lady was sitting inside her car, stuck in the middle of the road. It was clear that she needed help badly. A poorly dressed man went near her car. He was hesitating to speak to her but still approached.
The lady pulled down the glass of the driver's seat. She looked worried. She tried to wear a smile seeing a needy man approaching her.
The man opened his mouth，“Hello, Ma'am, can I help you？” The lady looked puzzled and said, “Yes.” “Please wait inside your car and let me see if I can solve the problem. By the way, I am Thomas Anderson，” Thomas said.
Thomas discovered that she got a flat tire (车胎漏气). Soon he went to fix the problem. After he finished, the lady began to talk to him.
She said, “I really don't have enough words to thank you. How much should I pay you？” She was actually ready to reward him for his kindness.
Thomas was surprised. He had never expected any reward from her, though his family needed money badly for their baby was going to be born the very next month.
He told her, “That's so nice of you, Ma'am. But if you really want to pay me back, the next time you see someone who needs help, please think of me and help that person. I hope this chain of love will not end with you.” He smiled and went away before the lady could further say anything.
The lady was so astonished. Anyone who saw the ragged (穿着破烂的) man would think how much he needed help. But he just told her something that she never thought of.
On her way, she found a small café down the road. She wanted to have a cup of warm coffee. As the lady went inside, a waitress came up to her with a very clean towel so that she could wipe her hair.
