Cole (a successful actor) talked about his acting journey in a new interview with Variety. As a child star in public, he became one of the cover stars of the “Power of Young Hollywood” series. He said to Variety that if it hadn’t been for Riverdale, he might have given up acting, at least for a while. When Cole auditioned (试镜) for Riverdale, he was working in a small laboratory in Brooklyn bagging artifacts. It was the character of Jughead that brought him back to his acting life.
In the years following his days on the Disney channel, Cole joined NYU and took acting classes. Disney had offered Cole a third series following his successful series — The Suit Life of Zack and Cody and The Suite Life on Deck, but he knew he wanted to go to college. Finally, Cole found his way back to his acting life, though. While working at the lab, Cole said his manager kept on encouraging him to audition for some roles. He really wanted to say thanks to him.
Cole knew what he wanted and how to play the role well in Riverdale. He was first invited to audition for the role of Archie, but Cole said he asked for the character of the outcast (被抛弃者) instead. “I think this is a bot of my style,” he told Variety. Jughead wasn’t supposed to be an important character in the show, but Cole acted so well that he received praise and became well known.
Now, Cole’s successfully changed himself from a Disney star to a serious actor. It can help him to plan his new series — the fourth season. It’s good news that Cole decided to show his talent for acting.

From Asia to America and everywhere in between, Swing — an energetic form of dance that includes six-step and eight-step rhythms (节奏) — has taken the world by storm. Making a recent comeback, swing dance floors have popped up all over the world. Many clubs make fans of Swing happy by holding nights when swing music is played, and sometimes even offering classes to attract customers.
Though Swing is now popular worldwide, it first appeared alongside the jazz movements of the 1920s and 1930s in New York City. While listening to jazz, the young black people of that time developed the movements of the Lindy Hop — a style of dance that is best known for a break away or “swing out” move and sudden improvisation (即兴表演).
It was reportedly given this name when a reporter was interviewing a person at the dance hall who was watching other couples dance. When asked what that dance was called, the watcher looked at a newspaper next to him that had an article about Lindbergh — the first person to fly alone across the Atlantic (大西洋) — which was titled, “Lindy Hops the Atlantic”. Then the watcher announced that “Lindy Hop” was the name of the dance, and it has stuck since then.
In 1926, the Savoy Ballroom was the first large business to offer a place for people to listen to swing music and dance. With its huge dance floor, the Savoy became a big success overnight, attracting some of the best dancers and musicians in the New York area.
Within ten years, the Lindy Hop was sweeping through the United States and became a symbol of unity, as young people of all racial (种族的) backgrounds crowded into dance halls to swing the night away. Traditional dance teachers did not welcome it because they thought it was not even a real dance and were quite sure about its demise but Swing has proved them wrong; it continues to be one of the world’s most fun dances.
8. What’s the purpose of this passage
A. To introduce a popular form of dance.
B. To discover the fun secrets of a dance.
C. To tell stories about an energetic dance.
D. To describe the special moves of a dance.
9. Which of the following words has the closest meaning to “demise”
A. Challenge. B. Change. C. Development. D. Death.
10. What can we learn about Swing
A. It’s a lively dance with strict rules.
B. It has a close connection with a pilot.
C. It has a history of over 90 years.
D. It attracts mostly young black people.
11. What can we infer from the passage
A. The dance style will soon be accepted by traditional dance teachers.
B. The name was changed from “Lindy Hop” to “Swing” in the 1940s.
C. The movements of different Swing dancers always look the same.
D. The dance might have become unpopular sometime in its history.
D
Do you know what you’d like to be when you grow up It takes most people many years to find out. For the young artist Alexandra Nechita, it never really seemed to be a question. From the day she began drawing at the age of two, she was an artist. Alexandra Nechita was born in Romania in 1985 and moved to California when she was still a baby. As a little child, she loved colouring in her colouring books. Her parents hoped she could spend more time playing with other children, so they took away her colouring books. Alexandra began drawing her own pictures and colouring them in.
By the time Alexandra was seven years old, she had begun painting with oil paints. When Alexandra took a local art class, her teacher was amazed at the young artist’s unusual style of painting. Alexandra’s work was similar in some ways to the paintings by famous artists like Picasso. These artists did not use a realistic style of painting. They allowed their imaginations to play an important part in their work. The interesting thing was that little Alexandra had never seen the work of these artists. People called her “Little Picasso”. This was a great honour, but Alexandra’s style of painting was all her own.
Alexandra’s first public show was held at a Los Angeles public library when she was only eight years old. People were amazed at how young Alexandra was, but mostly they loved her imaginative artwork. It did not take long for Alexandra and her work to become famous. She appeared on television programmes and in newspapers and magazines all over the world. The sale of a single piece can earn the young artist thousands of dollars. But that is not why Alexandra creates artwork. She just cannot imagine doing anything else that would bring her such joy and satisfaction.
Today, Alexandra is a full-time artist. She also works to help support the arts in schools. Alexandra is a strong believer in the power of art as a tool of communication and a bridge to building peace throughout the world.
12. When did Alexandra begin drawing pictures
A. At the age of eight. B. At the age of seven.
C. At the age of two. D. In the year of 1985.
13. Alexandra was called “Little Picasso” because .
A. she learned to paint from Picasso
B. her style of painting was like Picasso’s
C. she was one of Picasso’s big fans
D. her style of painting was unusual
14. What can we learn from the underlined sentence in Paragraph 4
A. Only painting can make her so happy and satisfied.
B Only money can make her so happy and satisfied.
C. Anything can make her feel happy and satisfied.
D. Nothing can make her feel happy and satisfied.
15. According to the passage, which word can best describe Alexandra
A. Polite. B. Generous. C. Patient. D. Creative.

Many clubs make fans of Swing happy by holding nights when swing music is played, and sometimes even offering classes to attract customers.(从亚洲到美洲，以及两者之间的任何地方，摇摆舞——一种包括六步和八步节奏的充满活力的舞蹈形式——已经风靡全球。最近，摇摆舞地板在世界各地重新流行起来)”和下文内容可知，文章介绍了重新流行起来摇摆舞及其发展历史。由此推知，本文写作目的是介绍一种流行舞蹈。故选A项。
【9题详解】
词句猜测题。根据划线词所在句“Traditional dance teachers did not welcome it because they thought it was not even a real dance and were quite sure about its demise but Swing has proved them wrong; it continues to be one of the world’s most fun dances.(传统的舞蹈老师不欢迎它，因为他们认为它甚至不是一种真正的舞蹈，并确信它会demise，但Swing证明了他们错了；它仍然是世界上最有趣的舞蹈之一)”中转折连词“but”和“it continues to be one of the world’s most fun dances.”可知，前后文有转折关系，后文说摇摆舞传承了下来，说明前文中传统的舞蹈老师认为摇摆舞会“消亡，死亡”。由此可知，划线词demise与death同义。故选D项。
【10题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中“Though Swing is now popular worldwide, it first appeared alongside the jazz movements of the 1920s and 1930s in New York City.(虽然摇摆舞现在在世界范围内流行，但它最初是与20世纪20年代和30年代在纽约的爵士运动一起出现的)”可知，摇摆舞最早出现于20世纪20年代和30年代，所以它已经有90多年的历史了。故选C项。
【11题详解】

D
Do you know what you’d like to be when you grow up It takes most people many years to find out. For the young artist Alexandra Nechita, it never really seemed to be a question. From the day she began drawing at the age of two, she was an artist. Alexandra Nechita was born in Romania in 1985 and moved to California when she was still a baby. As a little child, she loved colouring in her colouring books. Her parents hoped she could spend more time playing with other children, so they took away her colouring books. Alexandra began drawing her own pictures and colouring them in.
By the time Alexandra was seven years old, she had begun painting with oil paints. When Alexandra took a local art class, her teacher was amazed at the young artist’s unusual style of painting. Alexandra’s work was similar in some ways to the paintings by famous artists like Picasso. These artists did not use a realistic style of painting. They allowed their imaginations to play an important part in their work. The interesting thing was that little Alexandra had never seen the work of these artists. People called her “Little Picasso”. This was a great honour, but Alexandra’s style of painting was all her own.
Alexandra’s first public show was held at a Los Angeles public library when she was only eight years old. People were amazed at how young Alexandra was, but mostly they loved her imaginative artwork. It did not take long for Alexandra and her work to become famous. She appeared on television programmes and in newspapers and magazines all over the world. The sale of a single piece can earn the young artist thousands of dollars. But that is not why Alexandra creates artwork. She just cannot imagine doing anything else that would bring her such joy and satisfaction.
Today, Alexandra is a full-time artist. She also works to help support the arts in schools. Alexandra is a strong believer in the power of art as a tool of communication and a bridge to building peace throughout the world.
12. When did Alexandra begin drawing pictures
A. At the age of eight. B. At the age of seven.
C. At the age of two. D. In the year of 1985.
13. Alexandra was called “Little Picasso” because .
A. she learned to paint from Picasso
B. her style of painting was like Picasso’s
C. she was one of Picasso’s big fans
D. her style of painting was unusual
14. What can we learn from the underlined sentence in Paragraph 4
A. Only painting can make her so happy and satisfied.
B. Only money can make her so happy and satisfied.
C. Anything can make her feel happy and satisfied.
D. Nothing can make her feel happy and satisfied.
15. According to the passage, which word can best describe Alexandra
A. Polite. B. Generous. C. Patient. D. Creative.
【答案】12. C 13. B 14. A 15. D
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了艺术家亚历山德拉·内奇塔的成长历程。
【12题详解】

【13题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中“Alexandra’s work was similar in some ways to the paintings by famous artists like Picasso.(亚历山德拉的作品在某些方面与毕加索等著名艺术家的画作相似。)”可知，亚历山德拉被称为“小毕加索”，是因为她的绘画风格跟毕加索的风格相似。故选B项。
【14题详解】
句意猜测题。结合划线句“She just cannot imagine doing anything else that would bring her such joy and satisfaction.(她无法想象还有什么能给她带来这样的快乐和满足。)”句意可推知，亚历山德拉非喜欢绘画，只有绘画才能使她如此快乐和满足。故选A项。

推理判断题。根据第二段中“When Alexandra took a local art class, her teacher was amazed at the young artist’s unusual style of painting.(当亚历山德拉参加当地的美术课时，她的老师对这位年轻艺术家不同寻常的绘画风格感到惊讶。)”、“People called her “Little Picasso”. This was a great honour, but Alexandra’s style of painting was all her own.(人们称她为“小毕加索”。这是一个巨大的荣誉，但亚历山德拉的绘画风格完全是她自己的。)”和第三段中“People were amazed at how young Alexandra was, but mostly they loved her imaginative artwork.(人们惊讶于亚历山德拉如此年轻，但他们更喜欢她富有想象力的艺术作品。)”可推知，年青的艺术家亚历山德拉·内奇塔极具创造力和想象力。故选D项。

How to be a safe and smart searcher
Some keywords will help to find better results.____16____. If you want to find out about seagulls (海鸥), for example, search for “bird seagull” and not just “seagull”. Because seagull might also be the name of just about anything else, from a hotel to a documentary film.
Exact symbols can help you find what you’re looking for. If you are looking for an exact phrase or sentence, for example, “seagull are very clever”, type it between inverted commas (引号).____17____. Avoid common words like “a” or “the” in a search. There are usually unnecessary. Remove unwanted results by adding a symbol “-”. For example, “Seagull-hotel-film” would leave out all information on hotels and films.
Check your spelling. Make sure you spell spell every word correctly.____18____. That’s because sometimes there are mistyped words existing.
Have a filter (筛选). It’s a good idea to filter your online searchers, especially when you are searching for pictures.____19____. There is lots of filtering software available.
Reliability is very important when you are searching on the Internet. Always ask yourself, “Is this reliable ”____20____. Some websites are unreliable and some information is incorrect. Check your information on other websites before accepting it.
A. So add a filtering system to your computer.
B. Then only exact information will be shown.
C. Make sure that you’re using the safest search setting.
D. The smallest typing mistakes can bring unwanted results.
E. Use more than one keyword when you are doing a research.
F. Don’t make the mistake of believing everything as soon as you see.
G. But finding the right information among thousands of websites can be a real challenge.

【18题详解】
上文“Make sure you spell spell every word correctly.(确保你把每个单词都拼对。)”提出确保单词拼写正确，D项“The smallest typing mistakes can bring unwanted results.(最小的打字错误也会带来意想不到的结果。)”进一步说明这样做的意义，因为单词错误会带来意外结果，上下文语意连贯。故选D项。

【40题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意：逐渐地，当我们向大气中添加大量额外的二氧化碳时，“温室效应”就开始了，导致全球温度上升。分析句子结构可知，本句已有谓语动词begins，所以cause用非谓语形式，逻辑主语是“greenhouse effect”，两者是主动关系，应用现在分词形式。故填causing。
【41题详解】
考查动词时态。句意：到目前为止，越来越多的化石燃料的燃烧导致了二氧化碳的增加。分析句子结构可知，result作本句谓语动词，根据标志词So far，应该用现在完成时，主语是burning，助动词使用has。故填has resulted。
【42题详解】
考查冠词。句意：一些人认为这种趋势将是一场灾难。分析句子结构可知，catastrophe是可数名词，句中用的是单数，前应用不定冠词修饰，为辅音音素开头，应用a。故填a。
【43题详解】
考查动词短语。句意：但有些人反对这种观点，他们预测任何变暖都将是温和的，几乎不会对环境造成不良后果。分析句子结构可知，此处考查动词短语：be opposed to意为“与……相对”，句子陈述目前事实，应用一般现在时，some指代一些人，be动词使用are。故填are opposed。
【44题详解】
考查名词fus 。句意：但有些人反对这种观点，他们预测任何变暖都将是温和的，几乎不会对环境造成不良后果。分析句子结构可知，空前是形容词，所以空处应填名词作宾语，consequent的名词形式是consequence，根据空前的few可知，应用复数形式。故填consequences。
【45题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意：即使我们已经采取了一些措施，气候变暖还会持续几十年或几个世纪。分析句子结构可知，此处是固定搭配：be going to do意为“打算计划或准备做某事”。故填to keep。
