Growing up in Canterbury, Scartozzi recalls swimming in rivers as part of her childhood. When she returned many years later, however, she noticed things had changed. “Some of the places where I could swim before now have signs saying ‘polluted water, do not swim’,” she says. “I wanted to take my kids to places to swim but we couldn’t because these signs were up.”
Although the experience was sad and surprising, it has also served as fuel for Scartozzi, who’s now focusing on restoring the health of waterways. Her company called eCleanEnvirotech is developing technology to remove pollutants from waterways such as rivers, ponds and streams. It involves feeding polluted water into a system housing microbes (微生物) that eat or break up the pollutants.
The “engineered” nature of the technology, Scartozzi explains, means it’s adaptable for different environment conditions. Each system can be personalized with its own unique “soup” of microbes to remove the pollutants in any waterway where it is installed (安装).
Other advantages of the technology, she says, are that it can process water relatively quickly and that it can be used to treat waterways in a variety of sizes and locations.
She says she hopes to create cleaner water for the benefit of future generations. “My passion is around restoring the health of these waterways. And my purpose is to do anything that I can to return them to their former condition. That’s what drives me every day. If I can do anything, it is so that in the future, my kids and grandchildren have somewhere where they can go swimming and fishing.”
4. What can we learn from the first two paragraphs
A. Scartozzi and her kids were fond of swimming.
B. The experience inspired Scartozzi to clean up waterways.
C. Waterways in the world were unsuitable for swimming.
D. The company focuses on the development of the technology.
5. What is one advantage of the technology
A. It is convenient and economic. B. It can be used in limited waterways.
C. It functions slowly but effectively. D. Its system is flexible and efficient.
6. What is the goal of Scartozzi
A. To introduce her company. B. To swim and fish in the river.
C. To regain healthy waterways. D. To educate future generations.
7. Which of the following can best describe Scartozzi
A. Energetic B. Curious. C. Outgoing. D. Responsible.
【答案】4. B 5. D 6. C 7. D
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了童年经常游泳的Scartozzi，因河水受到污染而不能带孩子在河里游泳，这段经历激发她带动自己的公司研发高科技，把清理河道的污染物、净化水域作为自己的使命。
【4题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中“Although the experience was sad and surprising, it has also served as fuel for Scartozzi, who’s now focusing on restoring the health of waterways. (尽管这段经历令人悲伤和惊讶，但它也为Scartozzi提供了动力，他现在正专注于恢复水道的健康。)”可知，尽管这段经历令人悲伤和惊讶，但是它为Scartozzi提供了动力，她现在的任务是恢复水道的健康。故选B项。
【5题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段中“The “engineered” nature of the technology, Scartozzi explains, means it’s adaptable for different environment conditions. (Scartozzi解释说，这项技术的“工程化”性质意味着它可以适应不同的环境条件。)”可知，这项技术的系统灵活高效。故选D项。
【6题详解】
细节理解题。根据第五段中“My passion is around restoring the health of these waterway (我的热情是恢复这些水道的健康。)”可知，Scartozzi的目标是恢复这些水道的健康。故选C项。
【7题详解】
推理判断题。根据第五段中“If I can do anything, it is in the future, my kids and grandchildren have somewhere where they can go swimming and fishing (如果我能做什么的话，那就是将来，我的孩子和孙子孙女们有地方可以去游泳和钓鱼。)”可知，Scartozzi是为了让孩子们将来有地方去游泳和钓鱼，是出于造福社会的目的，是有社会责任感的表现。故选D项。

Heart disease is one of the major killers in the world today. Many who suffer from it must have heart transplants(心脏移植).However, it’s difficult to get a suitable heart donation, and eyen if a patient survives the wait, his or her body often rejects the heart.
But there is now new hope for sufferers of heart disease. According to a study published in the journal Advanced Science, researchers from Israel’s Tel Aviv University printed a 3D human heart on April 15.
“This is the first time anyone anywhere has successfully engineered and printed an entire heart,” professor Tal Dvir told CNN.
Unlike the former 3D-printed heart structure, the new heart is complete with cells, blood vessels, chambers(心室) and other structures a heart needs to function normally. But scientists still have more to figure out before the 3D-printed heart can be fitted into the body. For one thing, the experimental heart is only the size of a thumb. And, although it can contract like a muscle, it cannot pump out blood like a real one. At present, the heart prototype(样品) is like a tiny airplane that has all of the right parts, but can’t fly.
However, the development is still regarded as a major breakthrough in medicine.
In the experiment, the researchers turned human fat tissue into human heart tissue with stem cell technology. The tissue was then turned into “bio-ink” for a 3D printer to ensure that tissue in the heart came from the patients themselves. So ideally, if it were to be placed in the body of someone in need of a transplant, there would be less risk of organ rejection.
“Patients will no longer have to wait for transplants or take medications to prevent their rejection,” researchers told USA Today. “Instead, the needed heart will be printed, fully personalized for every patient.”
But the scientists think that 3D printing can be used to create other human organs. They foresee a time when the 3D printing of organs will be an everyday medical practice.
“Maybe, in 10 years, there will be organ printers in the finest hospitals around the world and these procedures will be conducted routinely,” Dvir said.
8. Why is the 3D-printed heart important
A. It will be used on a patient. B. It will replace a heart donation.
C. It is the first 3D-printed heart. D. It has a complete heart structure.
9. What problem do 3D-printed hearts have
A. They are too small. B. They are too expensive.
C. They can’t contract. D. They are hard to produce.
10. Why would there be less risk of organ rejection with the 3D-printed heart
A. It would come from a patient’s body.
B. It would be made from human fat tissue.
C. It would be made with stem cell technology.
D. It would be printed according to the patient’s condition.
11. What attitude does Tal Dvir hold toward the future of 3D printing of organs
A. Doubtful. B. Confident. C. Worried. D. Puzzled.
【答案】8. D 9. A 10. A 11. B
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章介绍了3D打印心脏的发展、优点以及仍然存在的问题。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中“But there is now new hope for sufferers of heart disease.( 但是现在心脏病患者有了新的希望。)”以及第四段中“Unlike the former 3D-printed heart structure, the new heart is complete with cells, blood vessels, chambers(心室) and other structures a heart needs to function normally. (与以前的3D打印心脏的结构不同，新心脏拥有完整的细胞、血管、腔室和心脏正常运作所需的其他结构。)”可知，这个新的3D打印心脏有完整的心脏结构，所以很重要。故选D项。
【9题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段中“ But scientists still have more to figure out before the 3D-printed heart can be fitted into the body. For one thing, the experimental heart is only the size of a thumb.(但在3D打印心脏植入人体之前，科学家们还有很多问题要解决。首先，实验心脏只有拇指大小。)”可知，3D打印心脏存在的问题是它们太小。故选A项。
【10题详解】
细节理解题。根据第六段中“ The tissue was then turned into “bio-ink” for a 3D printer to ensure that tissue in the heart came from the patients themselves. So ideally, if it were to be placed in the body of someone in need of a transplant, there would be less risk of organ rejection.(然后将组织转化为3D打印机的‘生物墨水’，以确保心脏中的组织来自患者自己。所以理想情况下，如果把它放在需要移植的人体内，器官排斥的风险就会降低。)”可知，3D打印的心脏来自患者的身体所以排斥的风险会更小。故选A项。
【11题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段中Tal Dvir所说“Maybe, in 10 years, there will be organ printers in the finest hospitals around the world and these procedures will be conducted routinely. (也许在10年内，世界上最好的医院里都会有器官打印机，这些手术将成为常规手术。)”可知，Tal Dvir对3D打印器官的未来是有信心的。故选B项。

What is the place of art in a culture of inattention Recent visitors to the Louvre report that tourists can now spend only a minute in front of the Mona Lisa before being asked to move on. Much of that time, for some of them, is spent taking photographs not even of the painting but of themselves with the painting in the background.
One view is that we have made tourism and gallery-going so easy that we have made it effectively impossible to appreciate what we’ve travelled to see. In this society, experience becomes goods like any other. There are queues to climb Everest as well as to see famous paintings. Thus, leisure is considered as hard labour rather than relaxation.
In the rapidly developing society, what gets lost is the quality of looking. Consider an extreme example, the late philosopher Richard Wollheim. When he visited the Louvre he could spend as much as four hours sitting before a painting. The first hour, he claimed, was necessary for incorrect impression to be removed. It was only then that the picture would begin to disclose itself. This seems unthinkable today, but it is still possible to organise. Even in the busiest museums there are many rooms and many pictures worth hours of contemplation (沉思) which the crowds largely ignore.
Marcel Proust, another lover of the Louvre, wrote: “It is only through art that we can escape from ourselves and know how another person sees a universe which is not the same as our own and whose landscapes would otherwise have remained as unknown as any there may be on the moon.” If any art remains worth seeing, it must lead us to such escapes. But a minute in front of a painting in a hurried, harried (烦扰) crowd won’t do that.
12. Why does the author mention the example in Louvre in Paragraph 1
A. To express his concern about Louvre. B. To report the popularity of Mona Lisa.
C. To introduce a good place to take photos. D. To show a disappointing current situation.
13. Which of the following will Richard Wollheim agree
A. People need to clear up their misunderstanding of paintings.
B. People have to stay at least 4 hours when appreciating paintings.
C. It is impossible for modern people to admire paintings attentively.
D. The longer one admires the paintings, the more unlikely he loves them.
14. What role does art play in our life according to Marcel Proust
A. Art is of help for us to accept ourselves better.
B. Art makes our life more colourful and meaningful.
C. Art allows us to know the world in the view of others.
D. Art pushes us away from ourselves and explores the moon.
15. Which is the best title of the passage
A. Into art attentively. B. Escape from ourselves.
C. Beyond art completely. D. Go to the museums often.
【答案】12. D 13. A 14. C 15. A
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇新闻报道，主要讲的是在快速发展的社会中，游客们不能集中注意力很好地欣赏艺术品，而艺术是需要专心欣赏的。
【12题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段“Recent visitors to the Louvre report that tourists can now spend only a minute in front of the Mona Lisa before being asked to move on. Much of that time, for some of them, is spent taking photographs not even of the painting but of themselves with the painting in the background.(最近参观卢浮宫的游客报告说，游客现在只能在《蒙娜丽莎》面前呆上一分钟，然后就会被要求离开。对他们中的一些人来说，大部分时间都花在拍照上，甚至不是为这幅画拍照，而是以这幅画为背景给自己拍照。)”和第二段“One view is that we have made tourism and gallery-going so easy that we have made it effectively impossible to appreciate what we’ve travelled to see.(一种观点是，我们让旅游和参观画廊变得如此容易，以至于我们实际上不可能欣赏我们旅行所看到的东西。)”可知，作者在第一段提到卢浮宫的例子是为了展示艺术欣赏令人失望的现状。故选D。
【13题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段“When he visited the Louvre he could spend as much as four hours sitting before a painting. The first hour, he claimed, was necessary for incorrect impression to be removed. It was only then that the picture would begin to disclose itself. This seems unthinkable today, but it is still possible to organise.(当他参观卢浮宫时，他可以在一幅画前坐上四个小时之久。他说，第一个小时是消除错误印象所必需的。只有到那时，情况才开始显露出来。这在今天看来是不可想象的，但仍有可能组织起来。)”可知，Richard Wollheim认为第一个小时是消除对艺术作品错误印象所必需的行为，可得出他可能会同意的是人们需要澄清对绘画的误解。故选A。
【14题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段“It is only through art that we can escape from ourselves and know how another person sees a universe which is not the same as our own and whose landscapes would otherwise have remained as unknown as any there may be on the moon.(只有通过艺术，我们才能逃离自我，才能知道另一个人是如何看待一个与我们自己不同的宇宙的，如果没有艺术，这个宇宙的风景就会像月球上的风景一样未知。)”可知，Marcel Proust认为艺术在我们的生活中让我们从别人的角度去认识世界。故选C。
【15题详解】
主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是第一段“What is the place of art in a culture of inattention Recent visitors to the Louvre report that tourists can now spend only a minute in front of the Mona Lisa before being asked to move on.(在一个注意力不集中的文化中，艺术的位置是什么？最近参观卢浮宫的游客报告说，游客现在只能在《蒙娜丽莎》面前呆上一分钟，然后就会被要求离开。)”，第二段“One view is that we have made tourism and gallery-going so easy that we have made it effectively impossible to appreciate what we’ve travelled to see.(一种观点是，我们让旅游和参观画廊变得如此容易，以至于我们实际上不可能欣赏我们旅行所看到的东西。)”和倒数第二段“Even in the busiest museums there are many rooms and many pictures worth hours of contemplation (沉思) which the crowds largely ignore.(即使在最繁忙的博物馆里，也有许多值得人们沉思数小时的房间和许多画作，而这些都被人们忽略了。)”可知，本文主要讲的是在快速发展的社会中，游客们不能集中注意力很好地欣赏艺术品，而艺术是需要专心欣赏的，因此最好的题目是A选项“Into art attentively.(用心投入艺术。)”。故选A。
第二节 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。(共5小题;每小题2.5分，满分12.5分)

第Ⅱ卷(非选择题)
第二节 (共10小题，每小题1.5分，满分15分)
阅读下列材料，在空白处填入适当的内容(1个单词)或括号内单词的正确形式。
In AD 79, the ancient Roman city of Pompeii, in southern Italy, ___36___ (destroy) by a volcanic eruption that buried many of its buildings. Archaeologists have been observing it for almost 300 years but now they have a new tool — virtual reality (VR) — for understanding ____37____Pompeii might once have looked like.
Researchers, Danilo Campanaro and Giacomo Landeschi, from Lund University in Sweden, used data that were collected by drones to create ____38____3D computer reconstruction of one of its most amazing buildings, then ____39____ (feed) the reconstruction into a video game system where a VR model is made. The idea is not just to recreate the buildings ____40____ to understand a bit more about how Roman people might have experienced them. Campanaro and Landeschi asked ____41____ (volunteer) to take a virtual tour of the house in both summer and winter light. The researchers used special eye-tracking technology to record ____42____ (exact) which areas people looked at and for how long. From this, the team concluded that the building used clever designs ____43____ (draw) attention to the very objects ____44____ showed off the wealth and status of its owner — perhaps a man called Lucius Valenius Flaccus, whose ring was found ____45____ the ruins.
【答案】36. was destroyed
37 what 38. a
39. feeding
40. but 41. volunteers
42. exactly
43. to draw
44. that 45. in
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍了考古学家们用新的虚拟现实技术了解庞贝城的过去。
【详解】1.考查时态语态。句意：公元79年，意大利南部的古罗马城市庞贝被火山爆发摧毁，许多建筑被掩埋。分析句子结构可知，此处为谓语动词，根据时间状语 In AD79 可知，此处应使用一般过去时，谓语动词destroy与主语the ancient Roman city of Pompeii之间存在被动关系，所以应使用一般过去时的被动语态，主语是单数，谓语单数形式。故填was destroyed。
2.考查宾语从句。句意：考古学家们已经观察了近 300 年，但现在他们有了一个新的工具来了解庞贝城的曾经可能的样子——虚拟现实(VR)。分析句子结构可知，空格处引导宾语从句，从句缺少介词like的宾语，指物，表示“……的（样子）”，用连词代词what。故填what。
3.考查冠词。句意：瑞典隆德大学的研究人员Danilo Campanaro和Giacomo Landeschi利用无人机收集的数据，对其最令人惊叹的建筑之一进行了3D计算机重建，然后将重建结果输入视频游戏系统，在该系统中制作VR模型。分析句子结构可知，此处要用不定冠词，修饰后面的可数名词单数reconstruction，表示泛指，“一个”的意思，3D的第一个音素是辅音因素，所以用a。故填a。
4.考查非谓语动词。句意同上。分析句子结构可知，非谓语动词feed是句子主语Researchers主动发出的动作，所以用现在分词形式，表示主动，作状语。故填feeding。
5.考查固定搭配。句意：这个想法不仅仅是为了重建这些建筑，而且也是为了更多地了解罗马人是如何体验这些建筑的。分析句子结构可知，此处为固定搭配“not just…but …”意为“不仅仅……而且……”符合句意。故填but。
6.考查名词复数。句意：Campanaro和Landeschi要求志愿者在夏天和冬天的光线下对房子进行虚拟游览。分析句子结构可知，此处为名词作宾语，volunteer 为可数名词单数，其前无限定词，所以此处应使用名词复数形式表示泛指。故填volunteers。
7.考查副词。句意：研究人员使用特殊的眼动追踪技术来准确记录人们看了哪些区域以及看了多长时间。分析句子结构可知，此处为副词作状语修饰动词record，exact的副词为exactly意为“准确地”。故填exactly。
8.考查动词不定式。句意：由此，研究小组得出结论，这座建筑使用了巧妙的设计，吸引了人们对其炫耀主人财富和地位的物品的关注——也许是一个名叫卢修斯·瓦列纽斯·弗拉库斯的人，他的戒指是在废墟中发现的。分析句子结构可知，此处为非谓语动词作状语，根据 use sth. to do sth.意为“使用某物去做某事”可知，表示主动意义。故填to draw。
9.考查定语从句。句意：由此，研究小组得出结论，这座建筑使用了巧妙的设计，吸引了人们对其炫耀主人财富和地位的物品的关注——也许是一个名叫卢修斯·瓦列纽斯·弗拉库斯的人，他的戒指是在废墟中发现的。分析句子结构可知，此处为关系词引导的限制性定语从句，从句中缺少主语，所以此处应使用关系代词，先行词objects指的是物，且其前有the very修饰，所以此处只能使用关系代词that。故填that。
10.考查介词。句意：由此，研究小组得出结论，这座建筑使用了巧妙的设计，吸引了人们对其炫耀主人财富和地位的物品的关注——也许是一个名叫卢修斯·瓦列纽斯·弗拉库斯的人，他的戒指是在废墟中发现的。分析句子结构可知，此处需要用介词in，表示地点，意为“在……内部”。故填in。

In middle school, my family moved to New York, where my parents established a small grocery store beneath our new home. As a reserved girl adjusting to the complex city life, I faced the challenge of fitting in. One day, my school announced a talent show for the local food bank, sparking excitement and anticipation. Despite my self-doubt, a popular classmate, Lily, approached me with an unexpected proposal.
Lily, known for her charming personality, suggested we collaborate(合作) on a singing performance for the talent show. Surprised and thrilled, I couldn’t believe someone with her status acknowledged my modest singing talent. With Lily’s beautiful voice, it felt like a bit of good fortune. Encouraged by Lily’s enthusiasm, we decided to embark on this musical journey together.
As we started preparing for the talent show, we faced numerous challenges, from selecting the right song to coordinating(协调) our harmonies. The process became a bonding experience and I began to embrace the idea of sharing my talent with the public. Lily’s infectious energy and encouragement helped me overcome my shyness.
Days turned into weeks, and our rehearsal sessions became a regular after-school routine. Lily and I poured our hearts into perfecting our act, drawing inspiration from various musical genres(音乐流派). However, fate took an unexpected turn the day before the performance. Lily fell ill with a sudden fever, leaving me in a state of panic.
Worried about Lily’s sudden illness, I felt a mix of fear and determination. With the talent show only a day away, we had to come up with a plan quickly. In the midst of my concern, Lily, despite her weakened state, reassured me and insisted that the show must go on. Drawing strength from Lily’s determination, I took on the responsibility of carrying our performance. The night before the talent show, I practiced tirelessly, determined to do justice to our hard work.

______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】The following day, I stepped onto the stage alone. I had to turn the choral song we practiced together into my solo singing. I feel a bit nervous when so many people look at me. When the accompaniment sounded, my legs trembled nervously. At that moment, I thought of Lily, as if she was telling me, “Keep calm, you will make it”. I tried to calm myself down and started singing bravely and loudly. It was the confidence Lily gave me that made me perform particularly well. Finally, the audience gave me a warm applause.
After the performance, I saw Lily backstage. Lily congratulated me with a hoarse voice. Knowing that she was silently supporting me ,I was deeply moved. I was grateful for her help and wish her an early recovery. Although it is regrettable that she was unable to attend the talent show this time, but we grow from the preparing, and we win from the trying. There will still be opportunities, and our next performance will definitely be even more wonderful.

Growing up in Canterbury, Scartozzi recalls swimming in rivers as part of her childhood. When she returned many years later, however, she noticed things had changed. “Some of the places where I could swim before now have signs saying ‘polluted water, do not swim’,” she says. “I wanted to take my kids to places to swim but we couldn’t because these signs were up.”
Although the experience was sad and surprising, it has also served as fuel for Scartozzi, who’s now focusing on restoring the health of waterways. Her company called eCleanEnvirotech is developing technology to remove pollutants from waterways such as rivers, ponds and streams. It involves feeding polluted water into a system housing microbes (微生物) that eat or break up the pollutants.
The “engineered” nature of the technology, Scartozzi explains, means it’s adaptable for different environment conditions. Each system can be personalized with its own unique “soup” of microbes to remove the pollutants in any waterway where it is installed (安装).
Other advantages of the technology, she says, are that it can process water relatively quickly and that it can be used to treat waterways in a variety of sizes and locations.
She says she hopes to create cleaner water for the benefit of future generations. “My passion is around restoring the health of these waterways. And my purpose is to do anything that I can to return them to their former condition. That’s what drives me every day. If I can do anything, it is so that in the future, my kids and grandchildren have somewhere where they can go swimming and fishing.”
4. What can we learn from the first two paragraphs
A. Scartozzi and her kids were fond of swimming.
B. The experience inspired Scartozzi to clean up waterways.
C. Waterways in the world were unsuitable for swimming.
D. The company focuses on the development of the technology.
5. What is one advantage of the technology
A. It is convenient and economic. B. It can be used in limited waterways.
C. It functions slowly but effectively. D. Its system is flexible and efficient.
6. What is the goal of Scartozzi
A. To introduce her company. B. To swim and fish in the river.
C. To regain healthy waterways. D. To educate future generations.
7. Which of the following can best describe Scartozzi
A. Energetic B. Curious. C. Outgoing. D. Responsible.
C
Heart disease is one of the major killers in the world today. Many who suffer from it must have heart transplants(心脏移植).However, it’s difficult to get a suitable heart donation, and eyen if a patient survives the wait, his or her body often rejects the heart.
But there is now new hope for sufferers of heart disease. According to a study published in the journal Advanced Science, researchers from Israel’s Tel Aviv University printed a 3D human heart on April 15.
“This is the first time anyone anywhere has successfully engineered and printed an entire heart,” professor Tal Dvir told CNN.
Unlike the former 3D-printed heart structure, the new heart is complete with cells, blood vessels, chambers(心室) and other structures a heart needs to function normally. But scientists still have more to figure out before the 3D-printed heart can be fitted into the body. For one thing, the experimental heart is only the size of a thumb. And, although it can contract like a muscle, it cannot pump out blood like a real one. At present, the heart prototype(样品) is like a tiny airplane that has all of the right parts, but can’t fly.
However, the development is still regarded as a major breakthrough in medicine.
In the experiment, the researchers turned human fat tissue into human heart tissue with stem cell technology. The tissue was then turned into “bio-ink” for a 3D printer to ensure that tissue in the heart came from the patients themselves. So ideally, if it were to be placed in the body of someone in need of a transplant, there would be less risk of organ rejection.
“Patients will no longer have to wait for transplants or take medications to prevent their rejection,” researchers told USA Today. “Instead, the needed heart will be printed, fully personalized for every patient.”
But the scientists think that 3D printing can be used to create other human organs. They foresee a time when the 3D printing of organs will be an everyday medical practice.
“Maybe, in 10 years, there will be organ printers in the finest hospitals around the world and these procedures will be conducted routinely,” Dvir said.
8. Why is the 3D-printed heart important
A. It will be used on a patient. B. It will replace a heart donation.
C. It is the first 3D-printed heart. D. It has a complete heart structure.
9. What problem do 3D-printed hearts have
A. They are too small. B. They are too expensive.
C. They can’t contract. D. They are hard to produce.
10. Why would there be less risk of organ rejection with the 3D-printed heart
A. It would come from a patient’s body.
B. It would be made from human fat tissue.
C It would be made with stem cell technology.
D. It would be printed according to the patient’s condition.
11. What attitude does Tal Dvir hold toward the future of 3D printing of organs
A. Doubtful. B. Confident. C. Worried. D. Puzzled.
D
What is the place of art in a culture of inattention Recent visitors to the Louvre report that tourists can now spend only a minute in front of the Mona Lisa before being asked to move on. Much of that time, for some of them, is spent taking photographs not even of the painting but of themselves with the painting in the background.
One view is that we have made tourism and gallery-going so easy that we have made it effectively impossible to appreciate what we’ve travelled to see. In this society, experience becomes goods like any other. There are queues to climb Everest as well as to see famous paintings. Thus, leisure is considered as hard labour rather than relaxation.
In the rapidly developing society, what gets lost is the quality of looking. Consider an extreme example, the late philosopher Richard Wollheim. When he visited the Louvre he could spend as much as four hours sitting before a painting. The first hour, he claimed, was necessary for incorrect impression to be removed. It was only then that the picture would begin to disclose itself. This seems unthinkable today, but it is still possible to organise. Even in the busiest museums there are many rooms and many pictures worth hours of contemplation (沉思) which the crowds largely ignore.
Marcel Proust, another lover of the Louvre, wrote: “It is only through art that we can escape from ourselves and know how another person sees a universe which is not the same as our own and whose landscapes would otherwise have remained as unknown as any there may be on the moon.” If any art remains worth seeing, it must lead us to such escapes. But a minute in front of a painting in a hurried, harried (烦扰) crowd won’t do that.
12. Why does the author mention the example in Louvre in Paragraph 1
A. To express his concern about Louvre. B. To report the popularity of Mona Lisa.
C. To introduce a good place to take photos. D. To show a disappointing current situation.
13. Which of the following will Richard Wollheim agree
A. People need to clear up their misunderstanding of paintings.
B People have to stay at least 4 hours when appreciating paintings.
C. It is impossible for modern people to admire paintings attentively.
D. The longer one admires the paintings, the more unlikely he loves them.
14 What role does art play in our life according to Marcel Proust
A. Art is of help for us to accept ourselves better.
B. Art makes our life more colourful and meaningful.
C. Art allows us to know the world in the view of others.
D Art pushes us away from ourselves and explores the moon.
15. Which is the best title of the passage
A. Into art attentively. B. Escape from ourselves.
C. Beyond art completely. D. Go to the museums often.

In middle school, my family moved to New York, where my parents established a small grocery store beneath our new home. As a reserved girl adjusting to the complex city life, I faced the challenge of fitting in. One day, my school announced a talent show for the local food bank, sparking excitement and anticipation. Despite my self-doubt, a popular classmate, Lily, approached me with an unexpected proposal.
Lily, known for her charming personality, suggested we collaborate(合作) on a singing performance for the talent show. Surprised and thrilled, I couldn’t believe someone with her status acknowledged my modest singing talent. With Lily’s beautiful voice, it felt like a bit of good fortune. Encouraged by Lily’s enthusiasm, we decided to embark on this musical journey together.
As we started preparing for the talent show, we faced numerous challenges, from selecting the right song to coordinating(协调) our harmonies. The process became a bonding experience and I began to embrace the idea of sharing my talent with the public. Lily’s infectious energy and encouragement helped me overcome my shyness.
Days turned into weeks, and our rehearsal sessions became a regular after-school routine. Lily and I poured our hearts into perfecting our act, drawing inspiration from various musical genres(音乐流派). However, fate took an unexpected turn the day before the performance. Lily fell ill with a sudden fever, leaving me in a state of panic.
Worried about Lily’s sudden illness, I felt a mix of fear and determination. With the talent show only a day away, we had to come up with a plan quickly. In the midst of my concern, Lily, despite her weakened state, reassured me and insisted that the show must go on. Drawing strength from Lily’s determination, I took on the responsibility of carrying our performance. The night before the talent show, I practiced tirelessly, determined to do justice to our hard work.
