German artist HA Schult is an unusual artist who uses trash (废物) to make sculptures.“We are living in the time of garbage，” says Schult.“I created a thousand sculptures of garbage.They are a mirror of ourselves.” Here, Schult was talking about his 1,000 trash sculptures in the form of humans.He first exhibited them in 1996 in the western German state of North Rhine-Westphalia.
“They are social sculptures，” he explains.“They are not only sculptures for the eyes.They are sculptures to spread the idea that we live in a time of garbage.” So far, Schult's social sculptures have been on show in Paris, in Moscow's Red Square, on the Great Wall of China, and in the desert next to the Pyramids of Giza near Cairo.
HA Schult's work is unforgettable.Although his work has had a big influence on the art world, Schult remains modest about his creations, “Artists have to learn every time.We are not important.All that counts is the time in which we are living.”
Trash art has been around for years.But it seems that only the popular artists are regarded as true artists when working with trash.Why can't common people be considered artists when they use the same things and change them into some form of personal art Maybe it's because we all have our own preset ideas of what art is and isn't, or whom artists are or should be.
You can be an artist like Schult if you try.Look at used metal cans.What might be done with them Imagine them in any number of new uses, or imagine them simply as an art form.What about boxes or clothing Boxes can usually serve as new storage containers and houses for pets.And clothing？Imagine taking old clothes and turning them into hats or hanging organizers.

Every year in May, art galleries and museums prepare shows to honour Leonardo da Vinci, who died in France on May 2, 1519. He is remembered as one of the greatest artists and most creative thinkers of all time. His most famous paintings are Mona Lisa and The Last Supper.
Recently, researchers have been studying a painting — Landscape 8P which, they think, is Da Vinci's earliest-known artwork. They used special lighting to study the artwork and discovered there were two images (图像), not one. One drawing is on the back of the piece, which dates back to August 5, 1473.
The drawing on the front was painted when Leonardo was 21 years old. It shows a river valley and a castle outside the city of Florence. There is little left of the drawing on the back, perhaps because it was wiped off. Only a bridge over a river can be seen. But there is writing on both sides.
The writing on the front gives the date and goes from right to left. Some people would call this “mirror-writing”. It's a way Leonardo often wrote in his notebooks. The writing on the back goes from left to right and tells about an agreement, probably to produce a work of art.
Cecilia Frosinini is an art historian. She said, “By looking at his writing, including from this drawing, we can see his right-handed handwriting is educated and well done.”
Experts compared the two handwriting samples (样本) and said they were both made by Leonardo. They show he could write well using his left hand or his right hand.
The drawing is known as Landscape 8P from its number in an art list. It will be part of an exhibit at Italy's Uffizi Gallery. The gallery director, Eike Schmidt, said by studying the drawing researchers gave us a new way of looking at Leonardo's drawing technique and his abilities in writing.

B．An introduction about Leonardo.
C．An agreement to produce a painting.
D．Something about the city of Florence.
解析：选C 细节理解题。根据第四段最后一句可知，作品的背面写的是一份创作一幅画的协议。故选C项。
7．What can we learn about Leonardo from the researchers' study

B．He did badly in right-handed handwriting.
C．He wasn't good at writing with his left hand.

Jane Eyre was published in 1847. It is not just a romance novel, but an educational story. Women can learn so much from this great Victorian heroine. This is not to suggest that Jane doesn't have shortcomings. __9__
You can overcome your past, however bad it is. Jane Eyre is made miserable as a child by her horrible relatives. __10__ He constantly reminds her that she's an orphan (孤儿). But she learns a lot about letting go when she is sent to a boarding school and makes friends with Helen.
__11__ Jane notes, “The world was a varied field of hopes and excitement waiting for those who had the courage to go forth.” If Jane hadn't been brave, she might have returned to the cruel woman who raised her.
Don't be afraid to express your mind. She is not scared to voice her opinions when necessary. It is much better to talk about things than to hide unspoken anger. __12__
Be positive. When Jane is younger, she has a tendency to feel sorry for herself. __13__ But as she gets older, she learns to be happy despite her past.
A．Her life is miserable.

Ⅰ.阅读理解
In recent years, there has been a rise in the volume of audiobook sales, which is easily aided by the dominance of the smartphone.Are there other contributors to the rise beyond technology
One thing is obvious: Reading even a short book involves a significant investment of time and prevents any other activity.You can't drive or garden while reading.Andy Miller, the author of The Year of Reading Dangerously, said, “I was hunting for a book to read.Kit Waal, my friend, said，‘you should get the audiobook Old Filth; it's fantastic.’ She was right.I could walk the dog and still be reading a brilliant novel, or have one read to me brilliantly.I love that book and I love that way of reading it.So _I'm_a_recent_convert. ”
Does he worry audio provides too different an experience to reading itself “Clearly on audio you are at the mercy of the reader's skills，” he says.“But then, ego (自我) aside, the same is true of reading a book on the page.We're all at the mercy of our own skills and tastes, aren't we But on audio you are influenced by someone else's interpretation.And you might simply dislike the voice of the reader.But at its best audio offers a complementary (互补的) experience to the actual book.”
Will audiobooks distract us from the page before us Better to focus on what we might gain.As someone who frequently interviews authors on stage, I'm aware of the unique insight into a text produced by hearing someone read their own work; I've frequently reinterpreted a passage after such an experience.But that has had no impact on whether or not I'll read a book by a writer I will never hear reading.
I once met the writer Don Delillo.In response to a question about the process of writing, he remarked that he sometimes became attracted by the shape of particular letters, by the way individual words appeared before him.He sounded hippy-dippy; then it made perfect sense.Reading does start with shapes, which slowly resolve to make a certain meaning, filtered through our own subjectivity and our senses.That will never change.
语篇解读：本文是一篇夹叙夹议文。文章主要讲述了近年来有声读物销量增加，但是，结合作者自己的经历和两位作家Andy Miller和Don Delillo的观点我们可以看出，有声读物有其自身的优点，但它无法代替纸质读物。
1．What does Andy Miller mean by “I'm a recent convert” in Paragraph 2
A．He likes the reader's voice.
B．He enjoys his daily routines.
C．He falls in love with audiobooks.
D．He is addicted to reading novels.
解析：选C 句意理解题。根据第二段中Andy Miller所说的话可知，在朋友Kit Waal的建议下，他选择了有声读物，这让他在遛狗的时候还可以阅读，他喜欢那本有声读物和那种读它的方式，故C项“他爱上了有声读物”与画线部分意义接近。
2．What does Andy Miller think of the audiobook
A．It has a good voice.
B．It limits our interpretation.
C．It controls our skills and tastes.
D．It misleads our interpretation.
解析：选B 推理判断题。根据第三段中Andy Miller所说话中的“on audio you are at the mercy of the reader's skills” “But on audio you are influenced by someone else's interpretation”可知，在听有声读物时，读者被朗读者的技巧支配、会受到朗读者理解的影响，据此可以推断，有声读物可能会限制读者的理解。
3．What is Don Delillo's attitude to reading the actual book
A．Unclear. B．Objective.
C．Opposed. D．Favourable.
解析：选D 推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“he sometimes became attracted ...before him”可以看出，Don Delillo会被独特的字母的形状和单词出现在他面前的方式吸引，由此可见，他支持纸质书的阅读。
4．What is the best title of the text
A．Easy listening: the rise of the audiobook
B．The audiobook — a growing trend in reading
C．Slow reading — the decline of the actual book
D．A new experience: the appearance of audiobooks
解析：选A 标题归纳题。本文第一段讲述了手机的支配地位有助于有声读物销量的增加；第二段结合 Andy Miller的例子说明了有声读物的优点；第三段画风一变，讲述了Andy Miller 的担忧；第四段以作者自己的经历讲述了有声读物的不足之处；最后一段以作家Don Delillo的角度讲述了纸质读物永不过时。A项既讲到了有声读物的优点“easy listening”，又以问句的形式问道“有声读物兴起了吗？”，能够很好地概括文章大意，因此适合作本文的标题。

2．fully 考查副词。空处修饰动词understand，应用副词形式，故填fully。

One thing is obvious: Reading even a short book involves a significant investment of time and prevents any other activity.You can't drive or garden while reading.Andy Miller, the author of The Year of Reading Dangerously, said, “I was hunting for a book to read.Kit Waal, my friend, said，‘you should get the audiobook Old Filth; it's fantastic.’ She was right.I could walk the dog and still be reading a brilliant novel, or have one read to me brilliantly.I love that book and I love that way of reading it.So _I'm_a_recent_convert. ”
Does he worry audio provides too different an experience to reading itself “Clearly on audio you are at the mercy of the reader's skills，” he says.“But then, ego (自我) aside, the same is true of reading a book on the page.We're all at the mercy of our own skills and tastes, aren't we But on audio you are influenced by someone else's interpretation.And you might simply dislike the voice of the reader.But at its best audio offers a complementary (互补的) experience to the actual book.”
Will audiobooks distract us from the page before us Better to focus on what we might gain.As someone who frequently interviews authors on stage, I'm aware of the unique insight into a text produced by hearing someone read their own work; I've frequently reinterpreted a passage after such an experience.But that has had no impact on whether or not I'll read a book by a writer I will never hear reading.
I once met the writer Don Delillo.In response to a question about the process of writing, he remarked that he sometimes became attracted by the shape of particular letters, by the way individual words appeared before him.He sounded hippy-dippy; then it made perfect sense.Reading does start with shapes, which slowly resolve to make a certain meaning, filtered through our own subjectivity and our senses.That will never change.
1．What does Andy Miller mean by “I'm a recent convert” in Paragraph 2
A．He likes the reader's voice.
B．He enjoys his daily routines.
C．He falls in love with audiobooks.
D．He is addicted to reading novels.
2．What does Andy Miller think of the audiobook
A．It has a good voice.
B．It limits our interpretation.
C．It controls our skills and tastes.
D．It misleads our interpretation.
3．What is Don Delillo's attitude to reading the actual book
A．Unclear. B．Objective.
C．Opposed. D．Favourable.
4．What is the best title of the text
A．Easy listening: the rise of the audiobook
B．The audiobook — a growing trend in reading
C．Slow reading — the decline of the actual book
D．A new experience: the appearance of audiobooks

Ⅰ.阅读理解
Seminole was far too accustomed to the business.Everyone sympathized with him depending on long hours, minimum wages, and ill-mannered customers.Although struggling to pay his rent, he still went all out to make those lucky enough to sit at his tables laugh.The day was going quickly.
He was exhausted when he arrived to work the next day, but he went about his daily duties, putting on a brave face as customers complained about the food or questioned the bill.Usually as he prepared to close for the night, a couple of customers would sit down and order drinks.Most of the crew had left by closing time，but Seminole stayed to serve.Eventually, the last round was ordered and he gave them the bill.The minimum tip was suggested on the receipt.“Tomorrow will be better，” he murmured.
But luck wasn't on his side.Evening approaching, a group of teenagers stepped in.Thankfully, they were polite and respectful.Their cheerful behavior began to rub off on him.As always, he did his best to make their dining experience a pleasant one.
Once they finished their dishes, he placed the bill on the table, accompanied with some candies.They placed their notes on the receipt and left smiling.When he returned to clear the table, he was shocked.The teenagers only left a tip of $3, but their total bill was more than $100.He'd gone above and beyond serving the tasty dishes.How could they be so rude
Later that week, he struggled to let go of the awkward memories.He arrived at work and expected it to be like any other, but there was something left behind the desk for him — a two-page handwritten letter from the teenagers with $18 attached, in which they explained they were unaware of the tipping practice due to it being their first time out alone.Everything suddenly made sense.
Seminole was so touched by their gesture that he uploaded a picture of the letter sharing their admirable efforts.The Web visitors voiced their opinions, and the reaction was more than positive.

Ⅰ.阅读理解
Earth is far more alive than we previously thought, according to “deep life” studies that reveal a rich ecosystem beneath our feet that is almost twice the size of all the world's oceans.Despite extreme heat, no light and intense pressure, scientists estimate it has between 15 billion and 23 billion tonnes of microorganisms.“It's like finding a whole new reservoir (储藏) of life on Earth，” said Karen Lloyd, an associate professor at the University of Tennessee.
Results suggest 70 percent of Earth's bacteria and archaea exist in the subsurface.One organism found 2.5 kilometers below the surface has been buried for millions of years and may not rely at all on energy from the sun.Also, the methanogen (产甲烷菌) has found a way to create methane in this environment, which it may not use to reproduce or divide, but use to replace or repair broken parts.Lengths of their lives are completely different.Some microorganisms have been alive for thousands of years, barely moving except shifts in earthquakes or eruptions.They're just active inside, with less energy than people thought possible to support life.
The team consists of 1,200 scientists from 52 countries in disciplines ranging from geology and microbiology to chemistry and physics.A year before the conclusion of their study, they will preset the findings before the American Geophysical Union's annual meeting opens this week, which they say are made possible by technical advances on drills and microscopes.
The scientists have been wondering about the point beyond which life cannot exist, but the deeper they dig，the more life they find.There is a temperature maximum — currently 122℃， but they believe this record will be broken if they keep exploring and developing more advanced instruments.
Questions remain, including how the microbes interact with chemical processes and what this might reveal about how life and Earth coevolved.
语篇解读：本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了一支由来自52个国家多个领域内的科学家组成的团队在距地球表面2.5公里的深处发现了大量微生物，该发现证明了地球深处蕴藏着丰富的生命。

B．They're the oldest living things.
C．Some of them consume no energy.
D．Some of them almost always keep still.
解析：选D 细节理解题。根据第二段中的“ Some microorganisms have ...in earthquakes or eruptions.”可知，一些微生物已经存活数千年，很少移动，除非地震和火山爆发。由此可知，科学家发现一些地下微生物几乎总是保持静止状态。

A．It lasts for around one year.
B．It involves efforts from multiple fields.
C．It promotes technical development.
D．It is conducted in 52 countries.
解析：选B 细节理解题。根据第三段第一句可知，这支科学队由来自52个国家的1 200名科学家组成，这些科学家来自地理学、微生物学、化学和物理学等多个领域。
3．Why do the scientists drill deep
A．To break their previous record.
B．To find the depth limit of life.
C．To discover more ancient microorganisms.
D．To detect the highest subsurface temperature.
解析：选B 细节理解题。根据第四段第一句可知，科学家们一直想知道生命不能存在的深度极限，但他们挖得越深发现的生命越多。由此可知，科学家们往深处钻孔的目的是找到生命存在的深度极限。
4．Which of the following is a suitable title for the text
A．Earth's Depths Are Full of Life
B．Organisms Live Better Underground
C．Earth Is Far Beyond Human Exploration
D．Subsurface Life Differs From That on Land

2．that 考查定语从句。分析句子结构可知，空处引导的是定语从句，从句中缺少主语，先行词sculptors是人，且被形容词最高级修饰，因此空处应用关系代词that。
3．decades 考查名词复数。decade是可数名词，前面无限定词，故用其复数形式。
4．and 考查连词。both ...and ...是固定搭配，意为“两个都……”。
5．closely 考查副词。副词修饰形容词，“marble-like”是形容词，意为“似大理石的”，故用副词closely修饰。
6．conducting 考查非谓语动词。空处用动名词conducting作主语，表示一般性的动作，故填conducting。
7．are (being) exhibited 考查时态、语态和主谓一致。they指代 sculptures, sculptures应是被展出，且由“currently”可知，句子应用现在进行时或一般现在时的被动语态，主语they是复数，故填 are (being) exhibited。
8．harmony 考查名词。visual是形容词，修饰空处，故空处应用所给词的名词形式。
9．their 考查代词。risks和空处之间是所属关系，因此空处应表示“他们的”，故用形容词性物主代词their。
10．a 考查冠词。view意为“观看”，是可数名词，且此处表泛指，前面需加不定冠词，close-up的发音以辅音音素开头，故填a。PAGE

Earth is far more alive than we previously thought, according to “deep life” studies that reveal a rich ecosystem beneath our feet that is almost twice the size of all the world's oceans.Despite extreme heat, no light and intense pressure, scientists estimate it has between 15 billion and 23 billion tonnes of microorganisms.“It's like finding a whole new reservoir (储藏) of life on Earth，” said Karen Lloyd, an associate professor at the University of Tennessee.
Results suggest 70 percent of Earth's bacteria and archaea exist in the subsurface.One organism found 2.5 kilometers below the surface has been buried for millions of years and may not rely at all on energy from the sun.Also, the methanogen (产甲烷菌) has found a way to create methane in this environment, which it may not use to reproduce or divide, but use to replace or repair broken parts.Lengths of their lives are completely different.Some microorganisms have been alive for thousands of years, barely moving except shifts in earthquakes or eruptions.They're just active inside, with less energy than people thought possible to support life.
The team consists of 1,200 scientists from 52 countries in disciplines ranging from geology and microbiology to chemistry and physics.A year before the conclusion of their study, they will preset the findings before the American Geophysical Union's annual meeting opens this week, which they say are made possible by technical advances on drills and microscopes.
The scientists have been wondering about the point beyond which life cannot exist, but the deeper they dig，the more life they find.There is a temperature maximum — currently 122℃， but they believe this record will be broken if they keep exploring and developing more advanced instruments.
Questions remain, including how the microbes interact with chemical processes and what this might reveal about how life and Earth coevolved.
1．What do the scientists find about the underground organisms
A．They can't reproduce and divide.
B．They're the oldest living things.
C．Some of them consume no energy.
D．Some of them almost always keep still.
2．What can we learn about the research from Paragraph 3
A．It lasts for around one year.
B．It involves efforts from multiple fields.
C．It promotes technical development.
D．It is conducted in 52 countries.
3．Why do the scientists drill deep
A．To break their previous record.
B．To find the depth limit of life.
C．To discover more ancient microorganisms.
D．To detect the highest subsurface temperature.
4．Which of the following is a suitable title for the text
A．Earth's Depths Are Full of Life
B．Organisms Live Better Underground
C．Earth Is Far Beyond Human Exploration
D．Subsurface Life Differs From That on Land

It took me a moment to realize what had happened. Three days had passed and Rita seemed to get weaker and weaker. The rain had stopped. However, the sky was still cloudy, and it was so dark that I couldn't see the buildings even across the road. I took a pressure reading from the weather station: 947mb, which let me know exactly where I was — in the eye of the storm.
There were rains and winds still, but not oppressive (难以忍受的) anymore. There was still no power, hot water or food. Besides, I didn't sleep well for all these days, but I felt more relaxed since the weather report said Rita was leaving. What's more, I was luckier than those people who had lost their homes or even worse, lost their lives because of Rita.
As I travelled further to the west, going after the storm, the damage along the way became less severe. I arrived in Houston after a tricky journey with my fuel supplies almost all gone. However, I came across another storm chaser (追逐者) who had 45 gallons of petrol. He helped me and we shared our working experience these days. With a complete stroke of luck I found a run-down hotel that allowed me to have a room overnight before the midnight. Although there was no running water, no power and no air conditioning, I curled up into a corner and fell asleep quickly.
I woke up the next morning, and what a change! The sky was blue and cars were moving around. Sirens could be heard as convoys (护航队) of emergency managements started to head west towards where I had come from. “The storm had stopped and I could go home. I gave all my remaining supplies to other people at the hotel and headed towards the airport. Houston Airport was not damaged, so I took my flight and drank my first hot drink in four days.”
All in all, when I came back home, I was proud that I finally made it again to follow and record the storm and I really learned a lot these days. Although it's dangerous, I love my job as not many people would go into the eye of an intense storm.

A sandstorm refers to a high amount of wind occurring in sandy areas, usually in deserts, where the wind speed is able to lift the top layer of sand from the ground, and push it in every direction. The sand involved in the sandstorm can reach heights of about 3.05m — 15.24m.
It is very dangerous to experience a sandstorm. Sand can get into the nose, eyes, mouth and lungs. If you happen to be caught in a sandstorm, you must protect yourself by wearing masks, scarves and so on.
If you're driving when such a storm approaches, it's advised that you pull off the road, since it's difficult to continue driving. This is also important since vehicles can fail in during sandstorms and you could end up stuck on the road.
Most sandstorms occur in spring, and during the daytime. Many of the areas around the Persian Gulf and the Sahara Desert are associated with the most serious storms. Since it's a natural phenomenon, it can't be entirely controlled. In areas that are natural desert regions, you can't always prevent a sandstorm. There's much evidence that the planet Mars has dust storms, and clearly, no human intervention (介入) is responsible for such.Though_it_can_move_whole_sand_dunes_and_destroy_crops,_a_sandstorm_is_not_without_benefit.
语篇解读：本文是说明文。文章介绍了沙尘暴常发生的时间、地点和基本状况以及如何在沙尘暴中自我保护的一些建议。

7．The underlined sentence shows that, anyway, sandstorms are ________.
A．useful B．useless
C．harmful D．powerful
解析：选A 推理判断题。画线句表明，虽然沙尘暴能移动沙丘并毁坏农作物，但它不是毫无益处的。注意“a sandstorm is not without benefit”表示“不无裨益”，是双重否定表示肯定意义。故选A项。

Tropical Cyclones
Have you ever seen a TV weatherperson pointing to a large, white spiral of storm clouds spinning over the Earth on the video screen If so, then you've gotten a small look at what the most powerful storm in the world looks like — a tropical cyclone (热带气旋)．
__9__ The warm air at the equator (赤道) rises into the atmosphere, cools off, and then sinks back down. As this cycle repeats itself over and over again, the storm begins to grow and the winds around the storm begin to move faster.
Depending on where a tropical cyclone is in the world, it is called either a hurricane, a typhoon, or a cyclone. If tropical cyclones move over the northwestern Pacific Ocean, they're called typhoons. __10__ In the South Pacific or the Indian Ocean, they're called cyclones.
The center of a tropical cyclone is called the “eye”. __11__ Most of the strong winds do not reach the eye of the storm, so it is the calmest part.
__12__ A tropical cyclone that is rated a Category 1 is the weakest; it is still dangerous, but the winds are not as high. A Category 5 tropical cyclone is the strongest; this type of storm can cause catastrophic damage.
Once these tropical cyclones come onto land, they no longer have the warm ocean water they need to grow larger and consequently become weaker. This doesn't stop them from causing a lot of damage before they go away. __13__
A．They still may produce strong rain and even tornadoes.
B．Tropical cyclones are categorised based on their strength.
C．They withdraw as quickly as they arrive and leave the land untouched.
D．The rest of the storm moves in a circle around the eye at incredibly high speed.
E．Tropical storms with wind speeds that reach 74 miles per hour are called hurricanes.
F．Tropical cyclones start as tropical storms that form in warm ocean waters near the equator.
G．Such storms moving over the northeastern Pacific or the Atlantic Ocean are termed hurricanes.
9．选F 根据空后内容可知，本段介绍热带气旋是如何形成的，且F项中的“near the equator”与空后一句中的“The warm air at the equator (赤道)”形成呼应，所以选F项。
10．选G 根据段首句可知，本段主要介绍产生于不同地区的热带气旋有不同的名称，再结合空前一句中的“they're called typhoons”和空后一句中的“they're called cyclones”可知，空处应是介绍在什么地区产生的热带气旋称作飓风，所以选G项。
11．选D 根据语境可知，D项中的“around the eye”与空前一句“The center of a tropical cyclone is called the ‘eye’”呼应，此处应是介绍风眼周围的状况，所以选D项。
12．选B 本空是段首句。根据本段的关键词“Category”可推知，本段主要介绍热带气旋的级别，故B项符合题意。
13．选A 根据空前一句可知，已经减弱的热带气旋仍然会有很大的破坏性，空处应是进一步介绍热带气旋带来的影响，故A项“它们仍然可能产生强降雨甚至龙卷风”符合语境。PAGE
