阅读下列短文,从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。
A
The following 4 famous paintings—from Jan van Eyck's portrait to Pablo Picasso's masterpiece—have stood the test of time.
The Arnolfini Portrait
TheArnolfiniPortrait of Jan van Eyck, an oil painting on wood produced in 1434, in which a man and a woman hold hands with a window behind him and a bed behind her, is undoubtedly one of the masterpieces in the National Gallery, London. This painting is as visually interesting as it is famed. It is also an informative document on fifteenth century society, through van Eyck's heavy use of symbolism—while husbands went out to engage in business, wives concerned themselves with domestic duties.
The Starry Night
Vincent Willem van Gogh painted TheStarryNight, an oil on canvas (帆布), a moderately abstract landscape painting of an expressive night sky over a small hillside village, during his 12 month stay at the mental hospital near Saint Rémy de Provence, France between 1889 and 1890. When the Museum of Modern Art in New York City purchased the painting from a private collector in 1941, it was not well known, but it has since become one of van Gogh's most famous works.
The Harvesters
TheHarvesters is an oil painting on wood completed by Pieter Bruegel the Elder in 1565. It depicts the harvest time which most commonly emerged within the months of August and September. Nicolaes Jonghelinck, a merchant banker and art collector from Antwerp, commissioned this painting. The painting has been at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City since 1919.
Guernica
Guernica, a large black and white oil painting, was painted by the Cubist Spanish painter, Pablo Picasso in 1937. The title “Guernica” refers to the city that was bombed by Nazi planes during the Spanish Civil War. The painting depicts the horrors of war and as a result, has come to be an anti war symbol and a reminder of the tragedies of war. Today, the painting is housed at the Museo Nacional Centro de Arte Reina Sofia in Madrid.
21.Which of the following paintings was produced earliest
A.Guernica. B.TheHarvesters.
C.TheStarryNight. D.TheArnolfiniPortrait.
22.Who created the painting describing the harvest season
A.Pieter Bruegel the Elder. B.Vincent Willem van Gogh.
C.Jan van Eyck. D.Pablo Picasso.
23.What do we know about the painting TheStarryNight
A.It was painted on wood in oils.
B.It described the painter's life in hospital.
C.It wasn't widely recognized before 1941.
D.It was given away to the Museum of Modern Art in New York City by a collector.

Gong Linna, renowned Chinese musician and founder of Chinese New Art Music, put her music teaching methods into practice for the first time at the Tracing Roots practice concert and music festival of the Affiliated High School of Peking University on May 23.
The first song of the concert, SearchHighandLow, is an allusion (暗指) to the classical poem LiSao, “The road ahead will be long. I shall search high and low. ” “It's arranged to be sung by all performers, indicating that we should all search high and low for our roots, ” says Gong.
To explore the education and the popularization of Chinese music, in 2017, Gong established a research and development team, which includes ethnomusicologist (民族音乐学家), Du Yaxiong, and music historian, Zhao Zhongming, to deliberate over her music teaching methods and summarize the vocal skills of Chinese music.
Gong believed that the popularization of Chinese music should rely on primary and secondary schools rather than music academies. The children's passion for music and their outstanding performance amazed Gong, “When singing, they are completely lost in the music. Music brings light and richness to one's world. So, learning to sing is never about passing examinations, but about enjoying the music. ”
Lu Yueming, instructor of the school's art center, said, “The children worked really hard and kept Gong's instructions in mind. Seeing their performance, I know that they truly fell in love with traditional Chinese music. ”
“Seeing the children perform my pieces, I realized I should write more songs for them, ” said Lao Luo, Gong's husband proudly. “It's a great encouragement for me to see how much they like the songs, and they really need content related to Chinese culture. ” With an international vision, Gong will continue to write songs based on Chinese folk music or ancient poems.
Gong said children should learn about the beauty of Chinese music. Only when you know about your own sounds, can you have cultural confidence.
24.Why is the song SearchHighandLow arranged at the concert
A.Because Gong is a renowned Chinese musician.
B.Because people are expected to search for their roots.
C.Because Gong's music teaching method is practical.
D.Because Gong wants to deliberate over her music teaching methods.
25.What should the popularization of Chinese music depend on according to Gong
A.Music academies.
B.The support of the government.
C.Primary and secondary schools.
D.Famous musicians across the country.
26.What is Gong's future plan for music
A.She will train more children to study abroad.
B.She will give more concerts to promote Chinese music.
C.She will help children learn about the beauty of various types of music.
D.She will write more songs based on Chinese folk music or ancient poems.
27.What's the best title of the passage
A.Creating Music Helps Cultural Confidence
B.Gong Linna—My Dramatist
C.Music Education Gets New Voice
D.The Development and Instruments of Chinese Music

Have you ever wondered when dogs first became “man's best friend” and the world's favourite pet If you have then you're not alone. When and where dogs first began living side by side with humans are questions that have caused hot debate among scientists. There are a few hard facts that all agree on. These include that dogs were once wolves and they were the first animal to be domesticated (驯养) by humans. They came to life some 15,000 years ago, before the dawn of agriculture.
Beyond that, there is little agreement. The earliest bones found that are unquestionable dogs and not wolves date from 14,000 years ago. However, 30,000 year old skulls (头骨) have been discovered in France and Belgium that are not pure wolves and that some scientists think could be dogs.
With such puzzling evidence, many scientists are now turning to DNA to find out when and where dogs were first domesticated. In one research project, tens of thousands of blood samples have been taken from street dogs around the world. The plan is to compare them with those of wolves. It's even possible to analyse DNA from ancient bones. Tiny pieces of the 30,000 year old skulls mentioned earlier are now being studied, and another DNA study has already shown that ancient dogs preserved in the Alaskan ice fields evolved ( 进化) from Asian wolves, not American ones.
Indeed, the ancient DNA may turn out to be more informative than the DNA of living dogs. Because dogs have accompanied humans around the world for thousands of years, their distribution may tell us very little of their origins. This is why different groups of scientists believe that dogs variously originated in eastern Asia, Europe or Africa.
But why were the animals domesticated in the first place The most recent theory is that dogs domesticated themselves, originally living in and around our ancient villages to eat any food thrown out. Today, this is a way of life still shared by three quarters of a billion unowned dogs worldwide.
28.Which statement is generally accepted by scientists studying dogs
A.They originally were used as farm animals.
B.They evolved from wolves found in Europe.
C.They helped the development of agriculture.
D.They were the first animal to be trained by humans.
29.Why does the writer mention the 30,000 year old animals' skulls in Para. 2
A.To show that dogs were common in the past.
B.To prove that dogs developed from Asian wolves.
C.To suggest that dogs may have evolved much earlier.
D.To argue that dogs were first kept in France and Belgium.
30.How did scientists determine the origins of the ancient dogs found in Alaska
A.By examining the animals' DNA.
B.By analyzing the age of their bones.
C.By studying the shape of their skulls.
D.By comparing them with modern dogs.
31.Why did dogs start living with humans according to the most recent theory
A.They were attracted by food.
B.They were trapped by humans.
C.They couldn't survive in the wild.
D.They were trained to protect the villages.

What is a hero We may think of the fictional characters with supernatural powers or great people who can influence world events. Now, as the nation continues its all out efforts to fight against the Corona Virus Disease 2019 (COVID 19), medical staff have become heroes in the eyes of the public.
As of Feb. 19, a total of 32,000 medical staff outside Hubei Province have been working to treat patients around the center of the outbreak.
Zhang Dingyu, president of Wuhan Jinyintan Hospital, is one of these heroes. Since the hospital received the first seven patients in December, Zhang has been so busy that he barely gets any sleep. Even suffering from amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (肌萎缩性脊髓侧索硬化症), the 56 year old doctor is doing his best to quicken his pace to save precious time for infected patients. “I have to run, racing against time to save more patients from the deadly disease, because I don't have much time left in my life, ” Zhang told Xinhua News Agency.
With the duty of saving lives, many medical professionals like Zhang have been working long hours for days, despite their fear and worry.
Lu Jingjing from Wuhan Children's Hospital works at a temporary mobile hospital. She does not let her parents know that she is now working with 2019 nCoV infected patients. When her parents ask for a “video chat, Lu says she is working and lets her husband and children chat with them instead.
“It's dangerous but we should win the battle with the virus as soon as possible, so that medical staff and patients can go back home, ” she told ChinaDaily.
US writer Khalil Gibran (1883~1931) once wrote, “Tenderness and kindness are not signs of weakness and despair, but the manifestations of strength and resolution. ” It's true for the medical workers.
Everyone has fear, especially when it comes to deadly diseases. But for medical staff, saving lives comes first and is enough for them to be brave and stay on the front. They may look like ordinary people in daily life, but in these extraordinary times, they are heroes.
32.What is the author's main purpose of writing this article
A.To explain what makes a modern day hero.
B.To praise medical staff for their efforts to fight against the COVID 19.
C.To describe what measures China has taken to deal with the virus.
D.To show the difficulties faced by medical staff treating COVID 19 patients.
33.What do we learn from Zhang Dingyu's words
A.His illness has turned him into an impatient man.
B.His illness makes him work without fear.
C.He feels sorry for himself because of his illness.
D.He wants to help as many patients as possible.
34.Why doesn't Lu Jingjing answer her parents' video calls
A.She is too busy and has no time for video chats.
B.She doesn't want her parents to worry about her.
C.It's not allowed to make a video call from the hospital.
D.There is no Wi Fi signal at the temporary mobile hospital.
35.What does the underlined word “manifestations” in the second to last paragraph mean
A.Results. B.Differences.
C.Signs. D.Advantages.

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。
Ten year old Sam loved to visit his grandfather's house. The house was near the beautiful blue sea. At the seaside stood thick and tall palm trees with coconuts hanging from them. When the coconuts fell down, Sam would break them open and drink the coconut juice. Sam liked to play under the trees. It was always great fun to spend the holidays at Grandpa's place.
This winter vacation, Sam was surprised when he came to his grandfather's village. There were hardly any trees left. He saw houses built near the sea. People had cut down many palm trees and there was hardly any greenery left.
Grandpa's house was different. He never allowed his trees to be cut. He hugged each palm tree in his courtyard. He also named the two big trees near the front door—one was Petu, and the other Betu. He had planted them with his own hands and today they had become large, massive trees with thick trunks. They were tall and green and gave the sweetest, juiciest coconuts.
One night, Sam was awakened by a strange sound. He could not sleep. He tossed and turned (翻来覆去) in bed. Suddenly, the ground began shaking as if the earth was splitting. He sat up straight and then ran to Grandpa. He clung (抓紧) to his grandpa. Grandpa cried out, “It's an earthquake! It's an earthquake!” They ran outside the house. They thought that it would be safer there.
Suddenly, there was a loud sound; the earth was not splitting but the sea was roaring. People were shouting, screaming and crying, “The sea is rising! The sea is rising!” The villagers started running away from the beach. Sam was dumbstruck (吓呆的).
The waves were rising higher and higher. Sam thought, “How big the waves are!” He went into the house again and saw water coming in from all sides. He was scared.
Sam remembered his mother telling him long ago, “You must always get out of the house if the floods come too near.” So he ran out to be with Grandpa.
Waves about twelve meters high came rushing in, drowning everything. Water was all around and everywhere.
注意:1.续写词数应为150左右;

Grandpa held Sam's hand tightly but a huge wave separated them.___________________

After a year of preparing herself, Laura Dekker has been given permission to sail around the world. “I was so happy that I almost jumped into the water,” Laura said, after learning of the court's decision.
The 14-year-old was born on a ship in the South Pacific, and currently lives with her father on a boat. When child protection agencies heard about her plan to sail alone, they took the case to court and prevented her from making such a dangerous voyage.
Since the decision, though, Laura had been preparing with her father to convince the court that she was ready. Later on, she received the books and other materials she would need for school while she was at sea. She added safety equipment to a new, big boat. And she took first aid courses to learn survival skills, like how to put out fires on the boat, take care of her own injuries and deal with lack of sleep. She also planned a safer course—adding alternate routes to avoid pirate attacks, and planning a course that would have her on dry land as she moved from port to port across the globe.
Even with all of the added preparations, the trip still has its risks. In early June, 16-year-old Abby Sunderland, an American, had to give up her attempt to become the youngest sailor to travel around the world. The mask of her boat broke due to rough waters in the Indian Ocean, and she was rescued by a French fishing ship.

【语篇解读】 本文是一篇记叙文。为了探索中国音乐的教育和普及,中国著名音乐家、中国新艺术音乐创始人龚琳娜首次将自己的音乐教学方法付诸实践。龚琳娜说,孩子们应该学习中国音乐的美以增强文化自信。
24.答案与解析:B 推理判断题。根据第二段中的It's arranged to be sung by all performers, indicating that we should all search high and low for our roots可知,这首歌曲是安排所有表演者演唱的,这表明我们都应该上下求索,寻找我们的根。因此音乐会上安排表演者演唱这首歌曲的原因是人们被期望寻找他们的根源。故选B。
25.答案与解析:C 细节理解题。根据第四段中的Gong believed that the popularization of Chinese music should rely on primary and secondary schools rather than music academies.可知,龚琳娜认为,中国音乐的普及应该依靠中小学而不是音乐学院。该句中的rely on和题干中的depend on同义。故选C。

30.答案与解析:A 考查细节理解。通过题目中关键词Alaska可定位至第三段最后一句,根据其中的“another DNA study has already shown that ancient dogs preserved in the Alaskan ice fields evolved(进化) from Asian wolves”可知,科学家是通过DNA检测来确定在阿拉斯加发现的古代的狗的起源的。
31.答案与解析:A 考查细节理解。由最后一段中的“The most recent theory is that dogs domesticated themselves, originally living in and around our ancient villages to eat any food thrown out”可知,狗被驯养是因为最初它们被村民扔出的食物吸引。

GrandpaheldSam'shandtightlybutahugewaveseparatedthem. Grandpa fought the waves and strived to catch Sam, but failed. Sam was washed away! Grandpa struggled to keep his head above the water. The water pushed him ahead. Fortunately, he caught a palm tree in his courtyard. He panicked and screamed out at Sam but could not see him. He clung to the tree tightly while the water was all around. In the hope of seeing Sam, Grandpa climbed higher up the tree. The water carried Sam round and round.
“Sam!Sam!”criedGrandpa. “Don'tbescared, etome, quickly!”“But Grandpa, I can't swim!” Another wave came with terrifying speed and force. Sam cried in despair. Suddenly, Sam felt himself thrown onto the top of a tree. He immediately held it! Looking around, he saw everything was terribly destroyed; but in the near distance, Grandpa was in another tree! Soon it was calm; both Grandpa and Sam came down from the trees and rushed to hug each other, and then they hugged the trees with tears of gratitude.
