Art is a universal language. Music is a universal language. Love is a universal language. Now, it’s the turn of sand to be mentioned in such terms. In her work, sand artist Kseniya Simonova mixes art, music and love to create her own medium which can be understood and appreciated by everyone.
Simonova said she fell in love with sand art by accident. “I never thought I could perform; I was always a classical artist,” shared Simonova. “I just started it as a hobby and I never thought it would become what it is now.” In 2009, Simonova won the “Ukraine’s Got Talent” TV contest. Since then her fame has increased rapidly, and she has become a real sensation.
The art Simonova creates is amazing; however, the medium she uses is quite common. It is ordinary river sand. “In sand art, it is an idea and its visualization that is important. What I do is create a tale in my mind. The sand is a very convenient medium that is very flexible and responds to speed well. It can show what is going on in my head.”
The images created by the artist last only for a few seconds. However, Simonova is not worried by the momentary nature of sand art. “I know that my creations live only for a while, but I believe that to be completely normal because art reflects life. We live every moment of our life, and we can’t go back and do it again. The same is the case with what I do,” Simonova concluded.
Sand art helps the artist to see the world in a new way, painting ever-changing life in every grain of sand.
24. How does Simonova feel about her achievements in sand art
A. Confident. B. Amused.
C. Confused. D. Surprised.
25. What is important in sand art performance according to Simonova
A. The medium. B. The story.
C. The theatre. D. The audience’s response.
26. What does Simonova say about the momentary nature of sand art
A. It mirrors our life. B. It is a kind of regret.
C. It encourages repetition. D. It alarms many sand artists.
27. What can be the best title for the text
A. Love is a universal language
B. Sand art: a new form of performance
C. Kseniya Simonova: painting the world with sand
D. Sand artists: impressing the world with awesome work
C
When Steven Spielberg was a kid growing up in the 1950s in Arizona, watching westerns on his family's 20-inch black-and-white TV, he would climb right up to the screen, as if to surround himself with the image. He also wished he could see these moving pictures in color. So he searched through his family's collection of slides quickly, having learned that by holding one film or another up to the television screen he could turn grayed-out western skies blue, or the ground to a realistic-looking green. Sometimes his mom walked in, and saw him holding these slides up to both of his eyes, right next to the TV set. Often, she would say, "You're going to burn your eyes out!"
Spielberg's mom, like all the other 50s moms who said the same thing, was wrong about that. But we all know what she must have been thinking: Who is this child
If you've seen even just one Steven Spielberg movie in the past 50 years or so——Jaws, Schindler's List, E. T-you have some sense of who this child grew up to be. And when you see his new film, The Fabelmans, a work of astonishing vividness that's drawn from his own family's story, you'll know even more. Movies have been around for roughly 130 years; Spielberg's career has covered more than a third of that. Yet The Fabelmans hardly feels like a late-career movie. It's a bridge for a new beginning.
Not every 75-year-old filmmaker makes a movie like this. Of the ambitious young guys who remade Hollywood in the early 1970s, Spielberg is one of the few still making vital pictures at a consistent（一致的） clip. Yet his career is extraordinary in any context. He's made some box-office disappointments, but naming a badly made Spielberg film is hard, probably because there isn't one. No living filmmaker can match his devotion to craftsmanship, to finding new ways of showing us things we think we've seen a million times before.
28. How did Spielberg's mom feel when she saw her son's behav or in front of the TV set
A. Proud but upset. B. Surprised but supportive.
C. Worried and confused. D. Annoyed and desperate.
29. Which of the following is NOT a reason why Spielberg's career is regarded as extraordinary
A. He is devoted to filming ordinary things from new angles.
B. He showed great interest in filming at a very young age.
C. His career covers more than a third of the movie history.
D. All his films are probably well-made despite some box-office disappointments.
30. What can be inferred about Spielberg's new film The Fabelmans
A. It's the most outstanding film he has ever made in his career.
B. It has been related to part of his growing experience.
C. It represents a totally brand-new type of film theme.
D. It established Spielberg as the most influential filmmaker.
31. What is the purpose of the text
A. To introduce a giant in film-making.
B. To demonstrate how to dare to be different.
C. To indicate curiosity makes success.
D. To recommend a pioneering new film.
D
Last week, Chicago became the first city in the US to join the “Lights Out Plan”. People turned off the lights in the city’s tallest buildings, so that thousands of birds could get to their winter homes. Every year in autumn, some birds fly over Chicago on their way to the south, and come back the next spring.
Lights mean danger to birds. Birds find their way by looking at the stars in the sky. Lights in tall buildings are so bright that birds may mistake them as stars. This means they cannot find the right way to go home.
This month, about 300 types of birds are flying over Chicago to go back to the south to live through the cold winter. Birds fly to warmer places for a few reasons. Many birds cannot live in the cold, so they fly to warmer places. But there are other reasons, too. Birds need to look for food in the south. Another reason is that they want to have baby birds. Many birds like to have their baby birds in the same “house” they lived in last year, so they fly back there.
There are about 9,000 kinds of birds in the world, and about 600 kinds of birds migrate. Some birds can fly a very long way. Sometimes they fly to other countries. We have fewer birds today because there are fewer places for birds.
32．Why did people in Chicago turn off their lights last week
A．Because people wanted to save money.
B．Because people liked the dark night.
C．Because people were afraid that birds would make much noise.
D．Because people were afraid that birds would lose their way.
33．What does the underlined word “migrate” mean in Chinese
A．move to a new place B．stay at the same place
C．sleep in winter D．lay eggs
34．Today we have fewer birds because ________.
A．lots of birds are often ill B．people kill lots of birds
C．there are fewer places for birds D．other animals eat them
35．Which of the following statements is NOT true
A．All birds fly to warmer places every year.
B．Some birds have to fly to warmer places in autumn.
C．Some birds can fly a long way to other countries.
D．About 600 kinds of birds migrate in the world.

For Sara’s family, decorating the yard was always a celebration for the New year. This year it was Sara’s father’s turn to hang colorful lights all round their roof according to family tradition.
On New Year’s Eve, light enveloped the whole house. Everything seemed to be going fine until misfortune happened: Sara’s father passed away suddenly. Sara was very sad. However, seeing the hanging lights, she was in a state of feeling happy, gaining a tiny thread of relief.
The lights reminded her of her beloved father. Taking them down meant the final connection with her father would disappear, which she wasn’t ready to accept. So she kept them. One day in March, Sara received a typed note in the mail. “Take your New Year’s lights down!” The letter read, which made Sara angry. She couldn’t hold back her anger, and shared it with her story online. Messages of support flooded into Sara’s inbox quickly. Besides, one day, Sara was driving back home and surprised to find that New Year’s decorations reappeared on houses in her neighborhood —her neighbors had made a collective(共同的) decision to hang their lights back up in honor of her father!
She never learned the sender’s identity. But for her, that hurtful deed was far less important than so many acts of kindness. A few weeks later, Sara eventually took down the decorations. “It was hard. But due to all the support and love, it was not as hard as I thought.”
