学校:___________姓名:___________班级:___________考号:___________
一、阅读理解
The following 4 famous paintings — from Jan van Eyck's portrait to Pablo Picasso's masterpiece — have stood the test of time.
The Amolfini Portrait
Jan van Eyck’s Amolfini Portrait, 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 van Gogh painted The Starry Night, 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–Remy-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
The Harvesters is an oil painting on wood completed by Pieter Bruegel the Elder in 1565. It depicts the harvest time which most commonly occurred 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.
1.Which of the following paintings was produced earliest
A. Guernica. B. The Harvesters.
C. The Starry Night. D. The Amolfini Portrait.
2.Who created the painting describing the harvest seasons
A. Pieter Bruegel the Elder. B. Vincent van Gogh.
C. Jan van Eyck. D. Pablo Picasso.
3.What do we know about the paintingThe Starry Night

B. It was donated by a private collector.
C. It wasn't widely recognized before 1941.
D. It was given away to the museum by a collector.
After 18 years of devotion to rhythmic gymnastics, Fanni Pigniczki claimed the gold medal on the international stage. The 23-year-old Hungarian topped the podium (领奖台) not just once but twice!
In a remarkable display of skill and determination, she secured victories in both the individual all-around and Ball at Chengdu Sport University Gymnasium. “It was an amazing feeling to see the Hungarian flag rising up,” Pigniczki said after the medal ceremony. At the Chengdu games, Hungary has secured three gold medals, with Pigniczki, the country’s only rhythmic gymnast then, responsible for two of those. But it was not without a sense of regret — her errors in the concluding pose denied her a medal in another round. Pigniczki vowed to learn from that setback. “I need to improve my stability in the coming training.” she said.
Actually, this positive attitude should be credited to her psychology background at Karoli Gaspar University in Budapest. This major benefits her athletic pursuits, helping her to better manage her emotions. “I have learned to stay calmer and think less during competition. I have also learned that I need to relax and concentrate on the ‘now’ of competition,” added Pigniczki.
“When I was a kid, I tried all kinds of activities like swimming, basketball, and ballet. Seeing the sparking outfit, I fell in love with rhythmic gymnastics instantly. But what truly attracts me is the feeling of readiness in the sport, as I could always improve more.” she said. It is this feeling that has motivated her to set numerous records for Hungarian rhythmic gymnastics. Her outstanding performances at the 2021 European championships earned her a spot at the delayed Tokyo Olympics. Pigniczki became the first Hungarian rhythmic gymnast to grace the Olympic stage since Viktoria Frater at the Sydney 2000 Games. At the Olympics, she finished 20th in the qualification round for the individual all-around. Last year, she continued to make history by becoming the first Hungarian to claim a World Cup medal in rhythmic gymnastics.
Her role in inspiring the next generation of gymnasts was recognized in May when she was honored with the Smart Scoring Shooting Star award.
4.What was Pigniczki’s notation towards her errors in competition
A. She looked down upon them directly.
B. She had strong sense of regret for them.
C. She promised never to make them again.
D. She analyzed them with stable emotion.
5.What attracts Pigniczki most in rhythmic gymnastics according to paragraph 4
A. The gold medals she won for her country.
B. The opportunities to perform at Olympics.
C. The feeling of making improvement constantly.
D. The attractive outfit she saw for the first time.
6.Which word best describes this Hungarian rhythmic gymnast

Whether exploring distant universe or dashing about a fantasy world, virtual reality has immersed humans in extraordinary places. Now, it seems, mice will be able to join us.
Researchers have developed a pair of virtual reality “goggles” that can bring the mice into various situations, from navigating mazes (导航迷宫) to experiencing the threat of natural enemies.
With a pair of lenses (镜片) and screens mounted on stands either side of a mouse’s head, the recently updated version of “goggles” provides each eye of mice with a 180-degreefield of view. The researchers placed the animals on a treadmill (跑步机) in front of a large screen displaying a digital scene, with their heads fixed to monitor the brain activities. This not only allows mice to see the virtual environment in 3D and gets rid of visual clues of the lab, but offers a way to present virtual images from above —for example, of a hovering hawk. This stimulation causes mice to freeze or flee the same as they react in real environment to survive a hungry bird attack in the wild. When the mice froze, activity from neurons (神经元) in their brains involved in navigation suggested they were in a different location from where they actually were. “It was as if they were thinking about where they would rather be — a safe, covered location up ahead.” Dombeck said, adding such results might help explain how imagination arises in the brain.
The team are also working to identify neurons involved in forming memories when mice navigate a maze, as well as which connections between them are improved to form memories. Answering these questions will help us understand how our brains know where we are in the world around us, how we form memories of those experiences, and ultimately how those memories are degraded in neurodegenerative diseases.
8.What might the mice see and do wearing “goggles”?
A. It will always see a hawk in the fields.
B. It will enjoy an amazing 3D fiction movie.
C. It will notice the surroundings in the lab.
D. It will detect virtual dangers from above.
9.What does the underlined word “mounted” mean in paragraph 3
A. Be attached. B. Be displayed. C. Be collected. D. Be hatched.
10.What do research intend to achieve eventually through this research
A. To teach mice how to face the virtual reality by itself.
B. To study how imagination arises smoothly in the brain.
C. To remind mice how to escape from approaching dangers.
D. To explore how memories are degraded in neuron diseases.
11.Which is the most suitable title for the text
A. Mice take pleasure in the virtual reality.
B. Goggles on mice benefit brain research.
C. Goggles play a key role in the research.
D. VR helps mice navigate mazes successfully.
Ever wondered why your partner is up with the lark (百灵鸟) while you are happily sleeping till noon It could be thanks to Neanderthal genes, according to a new study.
Scientists comparing ancient DNA with the genetics of modern humans discovered a “striking trend”, said John Capra, an epidemiologist (流行病学家) at the University of California in San Francisco. The researchers found that the Neanderthal genes that remain affect the body clock —increasing tendency to be a morning person.
Neanderthals lived at higher latitudes (纬度) than our ancestors who migrated from Africa — further away from the equator, with the days longer in summer and shorter in winter. “The gene that makes people early risers likely enables more rapid alignment (协调一致) of the circadian clock (生物钟) with changing seasonal light patterns,” Dr Capra said, “when Neanderthals were able to make the most of daylight hours to hunt.”
Scientists have previously explored how the circadian rhythms of insects, plants, and fish have developed depending on latitude. But that hasn’t been well studied in humans. There searchers wanted to see whether there was a genetic reason for differences in circadian rhythms between Neanderthals and modern people, and found 16 variants (变异体) associated with greater “morningness”. They suspected that as Neanderthals and the ancestors of modern humans mated, people today could have followed Neanderthal “circadian variants”.
To test this, scientists analyse the genetics of several hundred thousand people from the UK Biobank and found many of the variants that affect sleep preference. “Most noticeably, they found that these variants increase morningness,” the researchers said. This is consistent with what has been found in other animals that have adapted to living at a high latitude, as Neanderthals did.
12.Why does the author mention “your partner is up with the lark” in paragraph 1
A. To introduce the following context.
B. To compare two morning life styles.
C. To praise those who get up early.
D. To express gratitude to Neanderthals.
13.What is the root for Neanderthals’ morningness according to paragraph 3
A. The capability of hunting animals.
B. The genes from African ancestors.
C. The environment at higher latitudes.
D. The daylight hours around their habitats.
14.What can be inferred in paragraph 4
A. Morningness in human is unlike that in plants.
B. Insects’ circadian rhythms are impacted by latitude.
C. Scientists have previously studied the genes of animals.
D. The genes of Neanderthals is the only reason for morningness.
15.How did researchers prove their suspection
A. By analyzing statistics of the subjects.
B. By observing people’s sleeping habits.
C. By interviewing participants in the experiment.
D. By comparing sleep preference among human and animals.

The once peaceful home was filled with tension and anger. His mother’s voice grew louder as she shouted, “You can’t just do whatever you want! You should be responsible for your future!” Jack, fueled by his own frustration, shot back, “I am tired of you always telling me what to do! I am not a child anymore! You only care about your own feeling! You never thought about my feeling!” They were so caught up in their own anger and hurt that they failed to see how their words and actions were affecting each other.

32.答案:①literally②bears③an④took⑤who/that⑥featuring⑦more⑧appreciation⑨by⑩and
解析:①考查副词。句意:这个名字的字面意思是“龙的脊梁”,因为梯田看起来就像龙的鳞片,而山顶与脊梁相似。空处应用副词修饰means。literally意为“按字面,字面上”。故填literally。
②考查时态和主谓一致。句意参考上题。根据句意和句中的means可知,这里陈述的是客观事实,应用一般现在时。主语为the mountain’s summit,所以谓语应用单数。故填bears。
③考查冠词。句意:这些梯田被称为“龙的脊梁”,以复杂的图案在青山上延伸,看起来像水波,是一处令人难以置信的景色。sight意为“景象”,为可数名词,这里表示泛指,且空后的incredible发音以元音音素开头,所以应用不定冠词an。故填an。
④考查时态。句意:徒步旅行带我穿过了与美丽的风景相对立的小村庄。空处作句子的谓语,take和主语The hike之间是主动关系,应用主动语态,再结合第二段中的“During my visit to Guilin”可知,这里是作者去桂林游览时发生的事情,应用一般过去时。故填took。
⑤考查定语从句。句意:沿着小路,我经过橘子林,遇到了友好的当地人,他们给了我新鲜的荔枝。空处引导定语从句,修饰先行词friendly locals,指人,且在从句中作主语,所以应用who或that引导。故填who/that。
⑥考查非谓语动词。句意:在以糯米等当地特色菜为特色的多道菜中,我了解了更多关于梯田和乡村生活的信息。分析句子,空处应用非谓语动词。逻辑主语multi-course meals和feature之间是主谓关系,所以应用现在分词作定语。故填featuring。
⑦考查比较级。句意参考上题。根据句意可知,作者在品尝当地特色菜的过程中对梯田和乡村生活有了更多的了解,所以这里应用much的比较级more。故填more。
⑧考查名词。句意:整整三天后,徒步旅行结束了,我对这些由几代家庭精心打造成景观的古老农业奇迹感到深深的理解。空处应用名词作宾语。appreciation意为“理解”,由空格前的a可知,应该用单数形式。故填appreciation。
⑨考查介词。句意参考上题。分析句子结构,“carefully built into the landscape ⑨ generations of families”是过去分词短语作these ancient agricultural wonders的后置定语,built和these ancient agricultural wonders之间是动宾关系,而built的动作发出者是generations of families,所以应用介词by,表示“由几代家庭精心打造成景观的古老农业奇迹”。故填by。
⑩考查连词。句意:龙脊梯田为我提供了难忘的山景和对中国乡村的文化见解。根据句意并分析句子结构,unforgettable mountain views和cultural insights into rural China之间是并列关系,作with的宾语,所以应用and连接。故填and。
