The Notre Dame (巴黎圣母院) fire was put out, but its spire (尖顶) and a large portion of its wooden roof were damaged. The terrible destruction causes a sudden sharp pain to people around the world. “What a pity that we cannot see the damaged parts of the wonder anymore！”
But the good news is that there is at least one way of seeing them, namely through a video game called Assassin's Creed: Unity. In this game, the player can travel to one city after another and enter the buildings exactly like what they are in reality, and see Notre Dame as it was before the fire. Further, with virtual reality technology, which is already quite mature, one can even look around the undamaged Notre Dame as if it were still there. Maybe digital technology could help to better protect the architectural cultural heritage.
The idea of making digital models of ancient buildings to save their data dates back to the 1990s and the necessary technology has continued to advance since then. By scanning the ancient buildings with lasers, building 3 D models with multiple images, as well as measuring everything precisely, engineers can make a copy as accurate as the real one.
As computers and smartphones are hugely popular, the digital model has great useful value. First, it allows tourists to feel the cultural relics without touching them. The virtual tour of Mogao Grottoes in Gansu Province is a good example of this as tourists can view the paintings without standing near them. Furthermore, it can make the digitized cultural relics more famous by spreading awareness of them via the Internet. In 2000, a virtual tour of the Great Wall became very popular at the World Expo in Hannover, which increased the number of foreign tourists visiting the site in the following years. Above all, it preserves all the information of the cultural relics.
Of course, however precise a model is, it is not the original. Maybe we will have better technologies in the future, but the digital technology offers a practical way to preserve the architectural cultural heritage at the moment.
1．What can we see about Notre Dame in the mentioned game
A．The big fire.
B．Its wooden shape.
C．Its original look.

B．By making a comparison.
C．By presenting findings.
D．By giving examples.
4．What is the author's attitude towards the application of the digital technology

When it comes to the most influential painters of the United States in the 20th century, Grandma Moses should be mentioned, although she did not start painting until she was in her late seventies. As she once said to herself, “I would never sit back in a rocking chair, waiting for someone to help me. ” No one could have had a more active old age.
She was born on a farm in New York State, one of five boys and five girls. At 12 she left home and was in the domestic service sector until at 27 she married Thomas Moses, the hired hand of one of her employers. They farmed most of their lives, first in Virginia and then at Eagle Bridge in New York State. She had ten children, five of whom survived; her husband died in 1927.
Grandma Moses painted a little as a child and she was really fond of embroidery (刺绣), but only changed to oils in old age because her hands became too stiff (僵硬的) to sew and she still wanted to keep busy and pass the time. Her pictures were first sold at the local drugstore and at a market and were soon noticed by a businessman who purchased all that she painted. Three of the pictures were exhibited in the Museum of Modern Art, and in 1940 she had her first exhibition in New York. Between the 1930's and her death, she produced some 2，000 pictures: careful and lively portrayals of the country life she had known for so long, with an amazing sense of color and form. “I think really hard till I think of something really pretty, and then I paint it, ” she said.

We see art everywhere around us. In parks, city squares, shopping streets and public buildings, we find modern art objects on display. Classical art, such as valuable paintings and precious sculptures, usually ends up as the collections of museums, companies or rich people.
Both art and architecture have a history of ages. All forms and ways of expressing the beautiful things have been explored. In the case of architecture, many buildings designed in the past have proven beautiful and served their purposes. Governments and companies could save millions of dollars by copying the architecture of buildings from the past. There are still many designs for buildings made by famous architects that were never realized. Besides, some people find modern architecture ugly. So why should we make an investment in architecture for designing new buildings
The same holds for modern art, both paintings and statues, Many storerooms contain enough art to decorate all public buildings and other public places. There is no need to create more art, and as with modern architecture, many people find new art difficult to understand or appreciate.
Given these facts, why are architects and artists asked to create new artworks The answers have to do with the function of art in society today. First of all, the function of art is to decorate things. Artworks make our living environment more beautiful. Another function of art is enriching real life.

Finally, art is often seen as a way to instruct the audience. Statues of heroes from the past remind us of our history. Paintings and other art objects can also help us realize what goals we should set for ourselves.

Part drama, part dark comedy, the film TotheBone talks about a young woman's struggle with anorexia (厌食症). Though the film already got generally positive reviews at this year's Sundance Film Festival, it has caused a hot debate about whether it could be harmful to those with eating disorders.
Critics of the film have focused on the leading role Lily: a young, thin, white woman with anorexia. They think there're some plots that have made eating disorders look like trends instead of life threatening illnesses. According to the National Institute of Mental Health, anorexia has the highest death rate of any mental illness. Thirty million Americans struggle with eating disorders at some point in their life.
Director Marti Noxon based the film on her own battle with anorexia. She was aware of the film's potential to have harmful effects and then tried to be really careful in the way she showed how Lily looked. “You want to help other people understand something that they've never experienced, but you also want people who have experienced it to feel understood and seen and to give people hope, ” she added. “We are balancing a lot. I want to avoid the idea that the perfectionist quality of anorexics is their most obvious character.”
The film caught the attention of Liana Rosenman, who founded Project HEAL, an organization that helps eating disorder sufferers afford treatment. “I think it is very powerful, ” Rosenman said. “There is a sense of humor and wisdom in it as well as just understanding what it's like to have an eating disorder. ” Project HEAL recently played TotheBone in New York and Los Angeles, but it has faced sharp criticism from members of their community on social media.
5．What do we know about the film TotheBone from Paragraph 1
A．People have no interest in it.
B．It has received mixed comments.
C．It is popular among young people.
D．It tells the growth story about a girl.
6．What do Noxon's words in Paragraph 3 suggest
A．She admitted the film is harmful to people.
B．She tried hard to make the film benefit people.
C．People suffering from anorexia want to be perfect.
D．People having not experienced anorexia can't understand it.
7．What's Rosenman's attitude towards the film
A.Uncertain. B．Negative.
C．Supportive. D．Unconcerned.
8．Where's the passage probably from
A．A film review.
B．A health column.
C．A medical magazine.
D．A newspaper report.

Why people collect art
Many people through history have gone to great lengths to collect art. But what motivates these collectors
One popular explanation for collecting art is that they can have financial gain. Some resell artworks, earning enormous profit. __1__. Immorally, some “collectors” purchase art as a form of money laundering (洗钱), since it is far easier to move art than cash between countries without examination.
__2__. For them, art is important for other reasons. The best way to understand the underlying drive of art collecting is as a means of creating and strengthening social bonds, and as a way for collectors to communicate within these new networks.
Not only are collectors fond of creating social links, but they are also motivated by the messages they can send once these social networks are created. We all know art is a powerful way for the artist to express thoughts and feelings. __3__. Displaying art can send a message about who the collector really is—at least who he sees himself as.
__4__. Through the collections, collectors convey messages not just about themselves, but about the world as a whole. For example, the kid with the shoebox made of bird feathers might show others her collection not just to make friends, but to convince them of the importance of protecting endangered species.
People collect art for various reasons. __5__.
A．Some gain artworks in an illegal way
B．But most collectors think little of profit
C．Artworks preserve the qualities of their makers
D．No doubt art collecting is an addiction hard to overcome
E．Some get large tax reductions for donating art to museums
F．It also serves as an effective way for collectors to express themselves
G．Other art collectors see their collections as having a broader power

Every year in May, art galleries and museums prepare shows to honor Leonardo da Vinci, who died in France on May 2, 1519. He is remembered as one of the most influential artists and creative thinkers of all time. His most famous and representative paintings are MonaLisa and TheLastSupper.
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 are two images, 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, “Leonardo was born left handed, but was taught to write with his right hand from a very young age. By looking at his writing, 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 artwork is known as Landscape 8P from its number in an art list. It will be part of an exhibition at the Uffizi Gallery in Italy. The gallery director, Eike Schmidt, said the artwork is worthy of our attention, and that by studying it, researchers gave us a new way of looking at Leonardo's drawing techniques and his abilities in writing.
1．What does the writing on the back probably tell about
A．A statement about the painting.
B．An agreement to produce a painting.
C．An introduction of Leonardo.
D．Something about the city of Florence.
2．What can we learn about Leonardo from Cecilia's words
A．He did badly in right handed handwriting.
B．He wasn't good at writing with his left hand.
C．He could write with both of his hands.
D．He taught himself to write with the right hand.
3．What's Eike Schmidt's attitude towards the research
A．Unclear. B．Indifferent.
C．Positive. D．Doubtful.

Chinese painting, also known as the traditional national painting, one of the traditional paintings with a long history, has its unique and independent system. Using brushes, ink, and Chinese pigments (颜料), Chinese painting is drawn on a special kind of paper (Xuan paper) or silk. The traditional subjects are figures, landscapes, flowers and birds.
In comparison with Western painting, Chinese painting has its own artistic characteristics. After a careful study of the object, a painter can discover the rules of its structure and frames, and then produce it by the mind's eye. It is not only a simple copy, but it combines the object with the artistic concept of the painter, turning a natural image into an “artistic image”. The object can convey the artist's feelings and personality to achieve the effect of “being alike not only in spirit, but also in appearance”. Not all objects are to be drawn on the paper, and much space is left for imagination. The use of lines is important in Chinese painting. Clear, swift, sharp and changeable lines are combined with the push, point and press of the brush and ink to show the quality of the object and variations of the tone (色调). Ancient Chinese artists listed 18 different ways of drawing lines with the brush in figure painting. Different ways of creating lines were used when painting a landscape, flowers and birds, clouds and bamboos.
Traditional Chinese painting and calligraphy are different branches of art dating from the same origin. They use the same kind of tools and all the lines used in painting are variations of the points and lines of calligraphy. Though they are different artistic forms, they are closely linked in terms of their expression of thoughts and feelings. They influence each other to create another artistic feature.
4．The writer believes that a traditional Chinese painter's picture________．
A．reflects social problems of his times
B．describes mainly a natural image
C．expresses his thoughts
D．tells a true story
5．It can be inferred that a traditional Chinese painter spent much time________．
A．traveling
B．learning to draw lines
C．reading
D．studying calligraphy before drawing
6．What do traditional Chinese painting and calligraphy have in common
A．Using the similar techniques.
B．Starting from the same period.
C．Belonging to the same artistic form.
D．Covering the same themes.

Art researchers have found a hidden painting of a man under one of Pablo Picasso's masterpieces, TheBlueRoom. By using infrared (红外线的) imagery they discovered that the hidden man under the painting was a man with his face resting on his hand. Now the question that scientists at The Phillips Collection hope to answer is simple. Who is he
The finding of the hidden man in TheBlueRoom leads to new research about the 1901 painting, which was created by Picasso in Paris at the start of his blue period of unhappiness. Researchers discovered that the hidden man was painted in a reworked composition by Picasso. They are sure that it is not a self portrait. They think it might be the Paris art dealer Ambrose Villard who hosted Picasso's first show in 1901, but there's no record or evidence to prove this, so the research continues.
Hidden pictures have been found under Picasso's other important paintings, such as LaVie and WomanIroning. A technical analysis of LaVie at the Cleveland Museum of Art also found that Picasso reworked the painting's composition. And scientists found a portrait of a man under Picasso's painting WomanIroning at the Guggenheim Museum in Manhattan.
Dorothy Kosinski, director of The Phillips Collection, said more new knowledge about Picasso's paintings can be discovered through high tech cooperation among museums. “Our audience are curious about the high tech research because it can help them know more about the paintings. It's giving them a doorway to make them understand Picasso's paintings more, ” she said. “The more we can understand, the greater our appreciation of the paintings will be. ”
7．What do researchers agree according to Paragraph 1
A．A man is hiding behind TheBlueRoom.
B．A painting of a man is hidden under TheBlueRoom.
C．TheBlueRoom is Pablo Picasso's favorite masterpiece.
D．A man is taking a rest in TheBlueRoom of Pablo Picasso.
8．What can we know about the hidden man in TheBlueRoom
A．He first showed up in 1901.
B．He is Ambrose Villard from Paris.
C．Nobody knows for sure who he is.
D．He was not painted by Pablo Picasso.
9．What's the similarity among TheBlueRoom, LaVie and WomanIroning
A．They are painted by Dorothy Kosinski.
B．They have a hidden picture under them.
C．They are exhibited at the same museum.
D．They have a hidden self portrait in them.
10．What can we know from the last paragraph
A．The research on Picasso's works can add mystery to him.
B．The audience are curious about the doorway of the museums.
C．More people will be crazy about researching Picasso's life.
D．The high tech research can help people know more about Picasso's paintings.

Josh Morrison, 17, dreamed of raising $100，000 to build a home for a low income family. After years of hard work, his dream has come true. The house is now in the early stages of building.
Six years ago, Josh and his dad went into the Habitat for Humanity ReStore, a home improvement store and donation center run by the nonprofit organization. They were there to buy a sink. Josh, then 11, also noticed a collection of pennies. “I instantly felt the urge to help out with that，” he said. Josh set a fund raising deadline of four years. Many people doubted whether he could reach his goal of $100，000, but it didn't shake his faith. He devoted his time to raising money at his school and other nearby schools. He collected money from neighbours, got publicity from local newspapers, and placed cans in stores so that people could donate extra change.
Josh's fund raising efforts began to produce results. Still, there were challenges. Four months before his deadline, he was $30，000 short. He decided to hold a Family Fun Fair and Spaghetti Dinner event in Uxbridge, which is in the province of Ontario. The event raised $19，000.
“I didn't care how long it took me，” said Josh. “I would raise $100，000.” With three weeks left, a company called Josh's house offered to donate $18，000. Eventually, Josh reached a total of $134，000 before the deadline. “The____momentum__just__kept__going,__and we decided to do more，” he said. “Josh's Penny House” is being built by Habitat for Humanity in the city of Oshawa, along with 24 new town houses. Josh has helped with some of the construction, as have other volunteers. He will choose the family that moves into the unit.
Next year, the 17 year old kid will head to college in British Columbia, Canada's westernmost province. As an 11 year old kid when starting fund raising, Josh was able to send a powerful message across the world.

You're watching your favorite TV show when a commercial (广告) break starts. First you see an ad for candy. Then there's one for fast food. In response, your stomach growls (咕咕直叫). Suddenly, all you can think about is how much you need a snack. If that sounds familiar, you're not alone. Researchers from McMaster University in Canada studied the effects of junk food ads. The researchers examined the effects of advertising junk food on more than 6，000 kids through TV commercials and other types of media. They found that kids made unhealthy food and drink choices as quickly as 30 minutes after seeing the ads.
“There is too much unhealthy food advertising out there, which appears repeatedly，” says Behnam Sadeghirad. He's one of the researchers who led the study. “This is dangerous for younger children because they lack self discipline and don't know the advertised foods are healthy or not.”
Food and drink ads are everywhere, from TV to the panies want to make sure you know about their products. They spend nearly $1.8 billion a year on food ads aimed at kids, according to a report. The Nielsen Company tracked the number of food ads that kids saw in 2015. It found that kids watched nearly 12 food ads on TV each day. Most of these ads weren't for healthy foods. In fact, on average, kids saw only one ad per week for fruit and vegetables. Instead, most of the ads were for fast food, candy and sugary drinks.
Jennifer Harris, a professor at the University of Connecticut, says this is a big part of the problem. “Unhealthy foods are not things we should be encouraging kids to eat more often，” says Harris. “But unfortunately those are the products being advertised to them the most.”
Health experts say it's OK to treat yourself to a cookie once in a while. But what can you do to keep from having an unhealthy snack every time you see an ad for junk food Harris says it's important to learn to spot the techniques companies use in their ads. “What kids can do is notice what's going on，” says Harris. “Think about, ‘Are these the products that are really good for my physical health？’”
5．What did researchers from McMaster University find
A．Junk food ads can affect kids' eating habits.
B．Eating while watching TV is unhealthy for kids.
C．Food ads are more attractive than other types of ads.
D．There are many commercial breaks during TV shows.
6．What did the numbers provided by the Nielsen Company suggest
A．Food ads are everywhere.
B．It's necessary to limit kids' screen time.
C．It's hard to avoid seeing junk food ads on TV.
D．Companies spend large amounts of money on ads.
7．What advice does Harris give in the last paragraph
A．Get wise to ads.
B．Stay away from cookies.
C．Never see junk food ads.
D．Find products of good quality.
8．What's the best title of the text
A．Attack of Junk Food Ads
B．Tricks of the Trade
C．Advertising of Junk Food
D．The Effect of Media on Children
