Young Artists to Watch This Year
Tafy LaPlanche
New York-based Afro-Latina artist Tafy LaPlanche first discovered her love for portraits(肖像) at 13 when she was hospitalized and drew people who passed by her room. Since then, LaPlanche has explored narratives (叙事) in her portraits, setting women up against bright backgrounds, and adding fruit to create a unique story in every painting.
Yan Xinyue
Thirty-year-old Chinese artist Yan Xinyue is one of the artists to watch at this year’s Frieze New York. Xinyue’s work looks at how everyday life is impacted by rapid urban development through her imaginative paintings. Constantly touching the line between fantasy and reality, Xinyue’s work explores society and the individual.
Narumi Nekpenekpen
The Nigcrian-Japanese artist’s layered (分层的) approach to sculpture caught the eyes of collectors during Art Basel Miami Beach design week. The deeply emotional pieces painted throughout her residency at Versailles have a “Sanrio” quality, which makes them seem both distant and friendly.
Emma McIntyre
Also featured at this year’s Frieze New York is New Zealand-born, Los Angeles-based artist Emma McIntyre. The self-aware abstract (抽象的) painter is sure to turn heads with her presentations of memory, weather, and the environment. McIntyre’s colorful style makes the viewer feel like they’re slipping into a different dimension and makes it difficult to turn away.

A. Fruit. B. Sanrio. C. Hospitals. D. Weather.
2. Who explores the impact of rapid urban development in her work

Until she was ten years old. Debby Tewa lived with her grandmother in a three-room stone house in a remote area of the Hopi Reservation in Arizona. Like other families around them, Debby and her grandmother never had running water or a telephone, or electrical power. “I didn’t crave electricity then,” Debby recalls. “Because I didn’t know that I didn’t have it.”
Debby was in fourth grade and living with her parents off the reservation when she first had electricity at home. “I liked being able to study at night and watch TV,” she remembers. She started thinking about how she could help bring electricity to places like her grandmother’s community.
After graduating from Sherman Indian High School in California, Debby returned to the Hopi Reservation, where she took a job helping other young people find summer work. Debby’s big opportunity came when The Hopi Foundation, created by Hopi people to improve life on the reservation, started an organization called Native Sun. The idea was to bring energy to remote Hopi communities in a way that would fit in with their traditional way of life. Solar energy seemed like a perfect solution.
To spread the word about solar energy, The Hopi Foundation recruited (招募) several members who could speak the Hopi language. One of them was Debby Tewa. Part of Debby’s job was to teach people about solar energy. She set up demonstration solar power systems in three villages. In the next few years, Debby installed (安装) more than 300 solar panels on Hopi houses, and people started calling her “Solar Debby.”
For people like Debby’s aunt and her aunt’s 90-year-old neighbor, who had never had electricity before, solar power has made a life-changing difference. They no longer have to use a kerosene (煤油) lamp. But best of all, they know that they have control over their own clectricity. “When you get your own solar clectrical system, it’s yours.” Debby explains. “You’re not dependent on a power company. With solar energy, we can be independent.”
4. What does the underlined word “crave” in paragraph 1 mean
A. Find out. B. Long for. C. Stand up for. D. Make use of.
5. What can we learn about Debby from the first two paragraphs
A. She could take others’ hardships into consideration.
B. She was grateful for her childhood.
C. She demonstrated intelligence early in life.
D. She complained about a lack of life conveniences.
6. What was the purpose of Native Sun
A. To keep Hopi traditions alive. B. To beautify Hopi communities.
C To provide the Hopi with electricity. D. To offer job opportunities to the Hopi.
7. What does Debby’s explanation about solar power intend to show
A. Its target populations. B. Its possible applications.
C. Its operations by the Hopi. D. Its significance to the Hopi.
C
Researchers find the benefits of free time depend on our beliefs about it. A new Rutgers-led study finds that contentment depends, at least in part, on believing that leisure activities are not a waste of time.
According to the study, thinking of leisure as wasteful prevents us from enjoying our leisure pursuits — especially purely pleasure activities such as hanging out with friends, watching TV and just relaxing. More goal-driven leisure activities, like exercise and meditation (冥想), tend to feel productive and so are still enjoyed whether or not people see value in their leisure.
In one part of the study, the researchers asked 302 people to recall what they did for Halloween, how much they enjoyed the holiday and their attitudes toward leisure in general. Those who believed leisure was wasteful enjoyed their Halloween less, especially when they engaged in activities like going to a party compared to other activities that might be fun but might also fulfill (履行) responsibilities, like trick or treating with their kids.
In another part of the study, participants read news articles meant to convince the reader that leisure is wasteful, unproductive or productive. Next they watched the “Best Funny Cat Videos 2019”and were asked how much they enjoyed it. Those who believed that leisure was wasteful or unproductive didn’t enjoy watching the video s as much as those who thought leisure time was productive and important.
The results show that those who do not enjoy pleasure-driven activities are more depressed, anxious and stressed. The findings suggest happiness may be driven not only by whether people engage in leisure, but whether they find value in what they are doing.
“Attitudes can be difficult to change, so it may not be possible to shift beliefs about leisure overnight,” said lead author Gabriela Tonietto. “For those who think of leisure as wasteful, focusing on the productive ways that individual leisure activities can serve their long-term goals can help.”
8. Which statement illustrates the participants enjoying their Halloweenless
A. They are enthusiastic party-goers. B. They enjoy relaxing with their family.
C. They consider trick or treating boring. D. They put much value on responsibilities.
9. Why were the participants asked to read the news articles
A. To shape their attitude to leisure. B. To inform them of the cat videos.
C. To measure their happiness level. D. To examine their productivity.
10. What aspect of leisure is worth attention according to Tonietto
A. Its accessibility. B. its various types.
C. Its potential contributions. D. Its flexibility.
11. What is the best title for the text
A. Pursuing Happiness Intentionally Might Backfire
B. Happiness Comes from Real Satisfaction of Life
C. Believing Leisure Is Wasteful Reduces Happiness
D. More Leisure Doesn’t Necessarily Bring Contentment
D
Geography plays a critical role in shaping civilizations, and this is particularly true of ancient Greece.
The Greek peninsula (半岛)has two distinctive geographic features that influenced the development of Greek society. First, Greece has easy access to water. This easy access to water meant that the Greek people might naturally become explorers and traders. Second, Greece’s mountainous geography led to the development of the city-state. The high mountain s made it very difficult for people to travel or communicate. Therefore, each city-state developed independently and, often, very differently from one another. Athens and Sparta are two good examples of city-states that contrasted greatly with each other.
The city-state of Athens was the birthplace of many significant ideas. Ancient Athenians were a thoughtful people who enjoyed the systematic study of subjects such as science, philosophy, and history, to name a few. Athenians placed a heavy emphasis on the arts, architecture, and literature. Athenians also enjoyed a democratic(民主的)form of government in which some of the people shared power.
Life in Sparta was vastly different from life in Athens. The rulers requested citizens to become hardened soldiers so that they could fight off potential enemies or slave revolts(奴隶起义). By age seven，Spartan boys were taken from their families and underwent severe military training. Boys lived away from their families until the age of 30 even after they more married. Men were expected to be ready to serve in the army until they were 60 years old. The devotion of Spartans to developing a military state left litte time for the arts or literature.
The differences between Athens and Sparta eventually led to war between the two city-states. Sparta and Athens fought on and off for decades because no single city-state was strong enough to defeat the other.
With war came death and misfortune. But war cannot kill ideas. Despite the eventual submission of Athens, Athenian thought spread throughout the region. After temporary setbacks. these ideas only became more widely accepted and developed with the passing centuries.
12. How did geography affect ancient Greece
A. Access to water led to independent cities.
B. The mountains led to distinctive city-states.
C. The mountains facilitated natural exploration.
D. Access to water allowed cities to communicate easily.
13. Which of the following was typical of Athens
A. A people ready to fight. B. A commitment to the arts.
C. A ruler exercising political power. D. An emphasis on the beauty of the city.
14. Which words describe life in Sparta
A. Strict and violent. B. Calm and peaceful.
C. Intellectual and educated. D. Chaotic and uncontrollable.
15. How does the author evaluate the fight between the two city-states
A. Athenians lost the war and their culture.
B. Spartans achieved victory in an injustice manner.
C Athenians failed militarily but their ideas spread.
D. Spartans won and forced Athenians into slavery

It is a common belief that victors write history. Indeed, it is always victors who have had the last say in the documentation of facts.

This, in turn, allows you to get a sense of a life and times so vastly different from yours.
It challenges your perspectives about culture.
___20___ By providing alternative perspectives to a known reality, it offers alternative ways of looking at people. Postcolonial (后殖民主义的) historical fiction, for instance, has long worked to challenge the idea of imperial (帝国的) superiority. Slave fiction challenges the idea of racism.

Until she was ten years old. Debby Tewa lived with her grandmother in a three-room stone house in a remote area of the Hopi Reservation in Arizona. Like other families around them, Debby and her grandmother never had running water or a telephone, or electrical power. “I didn’t crave electricity then,” Debby recalls. “Because I didn’t know that I didn’t have it.”
Debby was in fourth grade and living with her parents off the reservation when she first had electricity at home. “I liked being able to study at night and watch TV,” she remembers. She started thinking about how she could help bring electricity to places like her grandmother’s community.
After graduating from Sherman Indian High School in California, Debby returned to the Hopi Reservation, where she took a job helping other young people find summer work. Debby’s big opportunity came when The Hopi Foundation, created by Hopi people to improve life on the reservation, started an organization called Native Sun. The idea was to bring energy to remote Hopi communities in a way that would fit in with their traditional way of life. Solar energy seemed like a perfect solution.
To spread the word about solar energy, The Hopi Foundation recruited (招募) several members who could speak the Hopi language. One of them was Debby Tewa. Part of Debby’s job was to teach people about solar energy. She set up demonstration solar power systems in three villages. In the next few years, Debby installed (安装) more than 300 solar panels on Hopi houses, and people started calling her “Solar Debby.”
For people like Debby’s aunt and her aunt’s 90-year-old neighbor, who had never had electricity before, solar power has made a life-changing difference. They no longer have to use a kerosene (煤油) lamp. But best of all, they know that they have control over their own clectricity. “When you get your own solar clectrical system, it’s yours.” Debby explains. “You’re not dependent on a power company. With solar energy, we can be independent.”
4. What does the underlined word “crave” in paragraph 1 mean
A. Find out. B. Long for. C. Stand up for. D. Make use of.
5. What can we learn about Debby from the first two paragraphs
A. She could take others’ hardships into consideration.
B. She was grateful for her childhood.
C. She demonstrated intelligence early in life.
D. She complained about a lack of life conveniences.
6. What was the purpose of Native Sun
A. To keep Hopi traditions alive. B. To beautify Hopi communities.
C. To provide the Hopi with electricity. D. To offer job opportunities to the Hopi.
7. What does Debby’s explanation about solar power intend to show
A. Its target populations. B. Its possible applications.
C. Its operations by the Hopi. D. Its significance to the Hopi.
【答案】4. B 5. A 6. C 7. D

Researchers find the benefits of free time depend on our beliefs about it. A new Rutgers-led study finds that contentment depends, at least in part, on believing that leisure activities are not a waste of time.
According to the study, thinking of leisure as wasteful prevents us from enjoying our leisure pursuits — especially purely pleasure activities such as hanging out with friends, watching TV and just relaxing. More goal-driven leisure activities, like exercise and meditation (冥想), tend to feel productive and so are still enjoyed whether or not people see value in their leisure.
In one part of the study, the researchers asked 302 people to recall what they did for Halloween, how much they enjoyed the holiday and their attitudes toward leisure in general. Those who believed leisure was wasteful enjoyed their Halloween less, especially when they engaged in activities like going to a party compared to other activities that might be fun but might also fulfill (履行) responsibilities, like trick or treating with their kids.
In another part of the study, participants read news articles meant to convince the reader that leisure is wasteful, unproductive or productive. Next they watched the “Best Funny Cat Videos 2019”and were asked how much they enjoyed it. Those who believed that leisure was wasteful or unproductive didn’t enjoy watching the video s as much as those who thought leisure time was productive and important.
The results show that those who do not enjoy pleasure-driven activities are more depressed, anxious and stressed. The findings suggest happiness may be driven not only by whether people engage in leisure, but whether they find value in what they are doing.
“Attitudes can be difficult to change, so it may not be possible to shift beliefs about leisure overnight,” said lead author Gabriela Tonietto. “For those who think of leisure as wasteful, focusing on the productive ways that individual leisure activities can serve their long-term goals can help.”
8. Which statement illustrates the participants enjoying their Halloweenless
A. They are enthusiastic party-goers. B. They enjoy relaxing with their family.
C. They consider trick or treating boring. D. They put much value on responsibilities.
9. Why were the participants asked to read the news articles
A. To shape their attitude to leisure. B. To inform them of the cat videos.
C. To measure their happiness level. D. To examine their productivity.
10. What aspect of leisure is worth attention according to Tonietto
A. Its accessibility. B. its various types.
C Its potential contributions. D. Its flexibility.
11. What is the best title for the text
A. Pursuing Happiness Intentionally Might Backfire
B. Happiness Comes from Real Satisfaction of Life
C. Believing Leisure Is Wasteful Reduces Happiness
D. More Leisure Doesn’t Necessarily Bring Contentment
【答案】8. D 9. A 10. C 11. C
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要说明了研究表明认为休闲是浪费的想法会阻碍我们享受休闲活动，解释了研究开展的经过以及建议。

Next they watched the “Best Funny Cat Videos 2019”and were asked how much they enjoyed it. Those who believed that leisure was wasteful or unproductive didn’t enjoy watching the video s as much as those who thought leisure time was productive and important.(在研究的另一部分，参与者阅读新闻文章，旨在说服读者休闲是浪费、无益或有益的。接下来，他们观看了“2019年最佳搞笑猫咪视频”，并被问及他们有多喜欢。那些认为休闲是浪费或无益的人不像那些认为休闲时间是有益的和重要的人那样喜欢看视频)”可知，要求参与者阅读新闻文章是为了塑造他们对休闲的态度。故选A。
【10题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段““Attitudes can be difficult to change, so it may not be possible to shift beliefs about leisure overnight,” said lead author Gabriela Tonietto. “For those who think of leisure as wasteful, focusing on the productive ways that individual leisure activities can serve their long-term goals can help.”(该研究的主要作者加布里埃拉·托尼托说：“人们的态度很难改变，所以不可能一夜之间改变人们对休闲的看法。对于那些认为休闲是浪费的人来说，关注个人休闲活动能够为他们的长期目标服务的有效方式可能会有所帮助。”)”可知，托尼托认为休闲的潜在贡献值得关注。故选C。
【11题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第一段“Researchers find the benefits of free time depend on our beliefs about it.

Geography plays a critical role in shaping civilizations, and this is particularly true of ancient Greece.
The Greek peninsula (半岛)has two distinctive geographic features that influenced the development of Greek society. First, Greece has easy access to water. This easy access to water meant that the Greek people might naturally become explorers and traders. Second, Greece’s mountainous geography led to the development of the city-state. The high mountain s made it very difficult for people to travel or communicate. Therefore, each city-state developed independently and, often, very differently from one another. Athens and Sparta are two good examples of city-states that contrasted greatly with each other.
The city-state of Athens was the birthplace of many significant ideas. Ancient Athenians were a thoughtful people who enjoyed the systematic study of subjects such as science, philosophy, and history, to name a few. Athenians placed a heavy emphasis on the arts, architecture, and literature. Athenians also enjoyed a democratic(民主的)form of government in which some of the people shared power.
Life in Sparta was vastly different from life in Athens. The rulers requested citizens to become hardened soldiers so that they could fight off potential enemies or slave revolts(奴隶起义). By age seven，Spartan boys were taken from their families and underwent severe military training. Boys lived away from their families until the age of 30 even after they more married. Men were expected to be ready to serve in the army until they were 60 years old. The devotion of Spartans to developing a military state left litte time for the arts or literature.
The differences between Athens and Sparta eventually led to war between the two city-states. Sparta and Athens fought on and off for decades because no single city-state was strong enough to defeat the other.
With war came death and misfortune. But war cannot kill ideas. Despite the eventual submission of Athens, Athenian thought spread throughout the region. After temporary setbacks. these ideas only became more widely accepted and developed with the passing centuries.
12. How did geography affect ancient Greece
A. Access to water led to independent cities.
B The mountains led to distinctive city-states.
C. The mountains facilitated natural exploration.
D. Access to water allowed cities to communicate easily.
13. Which of the following was typical of Athens
A. A people ready to fight. B. A commitment to the arts.
C. A ruler exercising political power. D. An emphasis on the beauty of the city.
14. Which words describe life in Sparta
A. Strict and violent. B. Calm and peaceful.
C. Intellectual and educated. D. Chaotic and uncontrollable.
15. How does the author evaluate the fight between the two city-states
A. Athenians lost the war and their culture.
B. Spartans achieved victory in an injustice manner.
C. Athenians failed militarily but their ideas spread.
D. Spartans won and forced Athenians into slavery
【答案】12. B 13. B 14. A 15. C

(斯巴达男孩在七岁时就被从家庭中带走，接受严酷的军事训练。即使在结婚之后，男孩们也要一直远离家庭生活，直到三十岁。男人们被期望一直准备服兵役，直到六十岁。斯巴达人致力于发展一个军事国家，因此几乎没有时间从事艺术或文学。)”可知，斯巴达的生活是严格和暴力的，故选A项。
【15题详解】
推理判断题。根据“Despite the eventual submission of Athens, Athenian thought spread throughout the region. After temporary setbacks. these ideas only became more widely accepted and developed with the passing centuries (尽管雅典最终屈服了，但雅典的思想还是传遍了整个地区。在暂时的挫折之后，这些想法只是随着时间的流逝而得到更广泛的接受和发展)”可知，虽然雅典人在军事上失败了，但是他们的思想传遍了整个地区，故选C项。
