Born in 1887 in a Russian-Jewish town, Chagall started painting at the age of 19. Disappointed with the colors of traditional Russian art, he loved to paint with strong blues, reds and yellows.
So in 1910, he moved to Paris, France, where artists from around the world were creating novel art forms and he was eager to acquire fresh ways of painting. He stayed true to his childhood memories. While others chose modern subjects, he painted scenes of fantasy based on an older, farmer-like way of life. Blue dogs, yellow skies and red trees were all creations of his imagination.
Chagall went through two world wars and personal sufferings. In 1941, because his family were Jewish, the Chagalls had to leave France to escape the Nazis during World War Ⅱ. In 1944 came another blow. Chagall's beloved wife Bella died of an illness. Despite the hardships, his passion for painting never faded. In the 1950s, he returned to France and continued to make his dreamlike paintings.
One day, during a walk in a village, he discovered a 700-year-old church, where he saw a stained-glass(彩色玻璃)window that contained a green horse. It looked as if Chagall might have created it himself. Here was a sure sign, he thought, that he should create his own stained-glass windows.
Then Chagall devoted all his energy and time to the work. As we know, many stained-glass windows are made of flat colors, but Chagall used various techniques to create the effects he wanted. He made flexible use of bright colors, putting light into the works. He painted images on glass, and then had them fired to high temperatures, making the lines and colors part of the glass.
Chagall created the stained-glass windows for churches and other buildings around the world until his death in 1985. He gave them as gifts to the world and often refused payment. Today, people are still amazed at how his stained-glass creations shine and change with the sun.
24.Why did Chagall choose to go to Paris
A.To learn new painting skills.
B.To publicize his new ideas of art.
C.To experience the colorful local life.
D.To participate in modern art exhibitions.
25.What led Chagall to design stained-glass windows
A.Desire to let in more sunlight.
B.Intention to improve the quality of glass.
C.Encouragement from some famous artists.
D.Inspiration from an ancient church window.
26.What does paragraph 5 mainly talk about
A.Chagall's working attitude.
B.The images Chagall created.
C.Chagall's artistic experiences.
D.The features of Chagall's works.
27.Which of the following can best describe Chagall as an artist
A.Imaginative and honest.
B.Generous and easy-going.
C.Creative and strong-willed.
D.Energetic and traditional.

The Indian government may use 3D paintings as virtual speed breakers(减速带) on major highways and roads, in order to check speeding and careless driving, and finally make its deadly roads a little safer. “We are trying out 3D paintings used as virtual speed breakers to avoid unnecessary requirements of speed breakers,” India's transport minister Nitin Gadkari wrote.
The optical illusions(视错觉) are supposed to encourage drivers to slow down automatically. Earlier, India had ordered the removal of all speed breakers from highways, which are considered to be a safety hazard to high-speed vehicles. India has the highest number of road accident deaths in the world. According to the World Health Organization, over 200,000 people are killed by road accidents.
The use of optical illusions as speed breakers was first pioneered in the American city of Philadelphia in 2008, as part of a campaign against speeding motorists. The technique has also been tried out in China to create floating 3D crossings. In India, cities such as Ahmedabad and Chennai have already experimented with 3D zebra crossings in the past year. In Ahmedabad for instance, a mother and her daughter, both artists, painted 3D crosswalks in the first few months of 2016. The artists say their motto is “to increase the attention of drivers”, and that the concept has been successfully tested in accident-prone zones(事故多发区) on a highway.
However, critics argue that once drivers know that these speed breakers are optical illusions, they may ignore them. Others also point out that India's decision does not consider the safety of a large number of pedestrians. In the end, the new policy may be just one step towards improving road safety.
28.Why are 3D paintings used on main highways and roads
A.To make the surroundings more beautiful.
B.To attract the attention of tourists.
C.To reduce the rate of traffic accidents.
D.To show the advanced technology.
29.Which of the following words is closest to the meaning of “hazard” in paragraph 2
A.Reminder. B.Threat. C.Regulation. D.Theory.
30.What can we learn from the third and fourth paragraphs
A.People have different opinions about the use of optical illusions as speed breakers.
B.Philadelphia is the second place to use virtual speed breakers in the US.
C.The idea tested in Ahmedabad recently has been a failure.
D.The new policy of 3D zebra crossings must be carried out.
31.What's the author's attitude to India's 3D zebra crossings
A.Supportive. B.Negative. C.Objective. D.Subjective.
D
Japanese automaker(汽车制造商) Toyota has announced its “Woven City” plan, which aims to create a “smart city of the future”. It will be a “living laboratory” for technologies including self-driving systems, high-speed Internet connectivity to link major information and communication systems.
The main streets in Woven City will be divided for different purposes. One part will be used for faster vehicle traffic. Another will be designed for people riding bicycles. The third part will be used for walking. To move people through the city, only fully-autonomous, zero-emission(零排放的)Toyota vehicles will be allowed on the roads. In and throughout Woven City, Toyota e-Palette will be used for transportation and deliveries.
The city will be fully sustainable(可持续的), with buildings made mostly of wood to cut the carbon footprint to the minimum. The rooftops will be covered with solar panels to produce power in addition to power produced by H2 fuel cells(电池). Houses will be equipped with the latest AI technologies, such as in-home robots to assist with daily work and to check people's health. Both neighborhood parks and a large central park for recreation and social gatherings are designed to bring the people together.
Toyota plans to populate the city with Toyota Motor Corporation employees and their family, visiting scientists and industry partners. The plan is for 2,000 people to start, adding more as the project develops.
“Building a complete city from scratch, even in a small size like this, is a unique chance to develop future technologies. With people, buildings and vehicles all connected and communicating with each other through sensors, we will be able to test ‘connected AI technology’ in both the virtual and the physical areas to maximize its potential,” said Akio Toyoda, president of Toyota Motor Corporation.
Experts say smart cities, like Toyota's “Woven City”, will greatly improve our living conditions.
32.What is “e-Palette” in Paragraph 2
A.An intelligent robot.
B.A driverless car.
C.An autonomous bike.
D.A slow vehicle.
33.What can we say about Woven City
A.All the houses are built with wood only.
B.Only Toyota workers live there.
C.It is designed to hold 2,000 people.
D.Just green power is used in the city.
34.What is Akio Toyoda's opinion
A.He is not satisfied with the small size of the city.
B.It is difficult to build a complete city of the future.
C.The city is a good platform to test future technologies.
D.Toyota is committed to improving the living conditions.
35.What can be the best title for the text
A.What Does a “City of the Future” Look Like
B.Can Toyota's “Woven City” Become a Reality
C.Toyota's Plan for a “City of the Future”
D.New Technologies for “Smart Cities of the Future”

There are a lot of strategies for visiting a museum and avoiding “museum tiredness”. Consider what is mentioned below in planning. 36
Regardless of a museum's size, you'll get tired quickly if you try to look closely at every object displayed. Likewise, most museums provide lots of information about the objects on view. So don't try to read everything. 37 “Tombstone” labels are very brief and provide facts about the artists, their country etc. There may be a number, which the museum uses to register the object, usually according to when it became a part of the collection, and a credit line that indicates the donor. Object labels are placed next to many objects. 38 The approach used to write museum labels has been much debated among art historians and museum professionals.
39 Ask for a map, or have museum staff suggest highlights in the collection or special exhibitions. Many museums have special tours, audio guides, or downloadable apps that point you to these objects.
Some people recommend setting a specific amount of time for your visit (1 or 2 hours). 40 In addition to benches in the galleries, most museums have a cafe, shop, sculpture courtyard or gardens where you can hang out and relax for a bit.
A.You'll likely meet with two types of labels.
B.You are sure to make the most of your experience.
C.It's always a good idea to stop by the information desk.
D.It would also be wise to plan frequent breaks in the galleries.
E.Note that these might not be artworks that you find appealing.
F.If you live near, consider frequent visits to the changed exhibitions.
G.These aim to give information not always obvious about the artwork.

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。
In 1989, fresh from high school, I had the difficult task of choosing a career path before the college started in three months. In those days in Pakistan, there were limited choices: becoming a doctor or an engineer, or entering the financial world after getting a business degree. I wasn't interested in engineering, so I was left with medicine and business. I couldn't decide.
My uncle suggested that I do a work placement(实习工作) to experience it for a month in an international company followed by a month in a hospital. After that, I could make a decision. It seemed like a good idea.
I was accepted for a month's placement at a foreign bank in Karachi. I knew how the world of finance functioned, made new friends, and generally enjoyed the work surroundings.
The month passed rapidly, and soon I began working at a leading hospital in Karachi. The experience couldn't have been more different. The hospital had a stressful environment. The days started early (at 7 a.m., compared to 9 a.m. at the bank), and were filled with endless duties and the night calls! This was crazy, working all day, through the night, and again the next day.
I began thinking about my two experiences. The bank had offered a more relaxed atmosphere, better working hours and less stress. The hospital was full of excitement, but the study and training were difficult. It seemed that the business choice was going to win out.
Near the end of my month at the hospital, I was driving home after an especially busy night call. In front of me was a public bus, with college students sitting on the top. As the driver weaved through traffic, I could see the boys shaking from side to side.
注意:续写词数应为150个左右。
Suddenly,a boy fell from the bus.
The next day,when I went to the hospital to see the boy,all his family got up,with grateful smiles on their faces.

◎语篇解读 本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了作者的父亲因为母亲生病停止了自己的艺术创作。为了帮助父亲找回热情,作者让父亲画漫画,最终父亲少年时代的热情又回来了,作者也因此感到骄傲。
41.A 根据上文“When my father was a teenager, he had been declared a genius by his art teacher.”可知,父亲有艺术天赋,所以他继续(went on)深造并主修艺术。agree on达成一致;take up占用;put off推迟。
42.C 根据后文“of his paintings”以及上文提到父亲主修艺术可知,作者的父亲举办了一些绘画展览(exhibits)。record记录;copy复制品;celebration庆祝。
43.B 根据上文可知,父亲在艺术上非常有天赋,但因为母亲放弃了艺术,因此此处指作者想起父亲对艺术的热爱(love)。 choice选择;skill技能;idea想法。
44.A 根据后文作者问父亲问题,父亲只回答了一个“Both.”可知,父亲不健谈(talker)。最后一段中的“It never 53 to me that he could talk so much”也是提示。teacher老师;painter画家;thinker思考者。
45.D 根据上文“When learning to drive”可知,作者问父亲,当开车的时候是把注意力放在前面的车更重要,还是放在后面的车更重要。focus on意为“集中注意力于”,符合语境。give off发出,放出(气味、热、光等);push through使……通过;look into调查。
46.B 根据上文“Both.”可知,父亲只回答了一个词,结合上文提到父亲不爱说话,说明在接下来的三英里里,他一言不发(silent)。careful仔细的;impatient无耐心的;polite礼貌的。
47.A 根据下文“I asked again the following day.”可知,父亲对作者的提问没有给出明确的(definite)回答。relevant有关的;simple简单的;clever聪明的。
48.B 根据上文“I asked again the following day.”以及“Still”可知,父亲对作者的问题仍然没有给出真正的回答(response)。channel频道;news信息;way方式。
49.A 上文提到父亲对作者的问题始终没有答复,结合下文“I understood he had enough on his plate already.”可知,作者放弃了(dropped)询问父亲的想法。fail失败;forget忘记;regret后悔。
50.D 根据下文“I downloaded the file and there was the cartoon I had asked him to draw!”可知,父亲的邮件附带了漫画的附件(attachment)。list清单;present礼物;theme主题。
51.C 根据下文“As he built his art muscles back up”可知,父亲找回了艺术创作,创造的过程使他的生活有了意义。purpose意为“重要意义;有价值的意义”,符合语境。freedom自由;safety安全;trust信任。
52.B 句意:当他重新练就自己的艺术肌肉时,他的少年时代的热情又回来了。根据上文“But when my mother got ill, his creative life came to an end.”可知,父亲对艺术的热情回来了(returned)。grow生长;appear出现;mix混合。
53.A 根据下文“he could talk so much”可知,作者从来没有想到话少的父亲会说这么多。此处构成“It never occurred to sb. that...”结构,意为“某人从未想到……”。happen发生;expose暴露;adjust调整。
54.C 结合语境可知,作者从未想到父亲会说那么多,以至于不得不假装接到电话来避开(escape)他的兴奋。reduce减少;match匹配;shock使震惊。
55.D 此处呼应上文父亲的回答“Both.”,指作者为父亲创作的漫画和父亲改变了他自己的生活感到骄傲。
第二节
◎语篇解读 本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了虚拟合唱团的发展和意义。
56.to add 考查非谓语动词。enable sb. to do sth.意为“使某人能够做某事”,故本空应用不定式形式作宾语补足语。
57.began 考查时态。设空处为who引导的非限制性定语从句的谓语,根据时间状语in 1988可知,本空应用一般过去时。
58.with 考查介词。fall in love with意为“喜欢上,爱上”,故本空应用介词with。
59.Moved 考查非谓语动词。分析句子结构可知,本句已有谓语,故此处应用非谓语动词形式。本空在句中作状语,动词move和其逻辑主语he之间为被动关系,故本空应用过去分词作状语。
60.original 考查形容词。本空修饰名词compositions,故应用形容词作定语。original compositions意为“原创作品”。
61.inspiring 考查非谓语动词。句意:2009年,Whitacre收到了一段视频,视频中一个女孩正在演唱他的一首作品,这激发了他组建第一个虚拟合唱团的灵感。本空在句中作结果状语,表示自然而然的结果,故应用现在分词形式。
62.which 考查非限制性定语从句。句意:他让他的粉丝们制作视频,然后他将这些视频组合成一场表演。设空处无提示词,空前有逗号,逗号前面的句子意思完整,不缺成分,逗号后面的句子缺少joined的宾语,故推测本空引导非限制性定语从句,修饰先行词videos,本空在从句中作宾语且指物,故应用关系代词which。
63.has received 考查时态。设空处为本句的谓语,根据时间状语Since then可知,本空应用现在完成时。
64.phenomena 考查名词复数。“one of+可数名词复数”意为“……之一”,注意phenomenon的复数形式为phenomena。
65.a 考查冠词。空后名词place为可数名词单数,此处表示泛指,且better以辅音音素开头,故本空应用不定冠词a。

第二节
One possible version:
Suddenly,a boy fell from the bus. He hit the road with his face down and rolled over. He lay still in the middle of the road while the bus sped away. None of the cars behind stopped. Thinking that he could die in a matter of minutes, I stopped my car and carefully examined the boy. With the help of some passers-by, I lifted the unconscious boy into the car and raced back to the hospital. After his family were contacted, and he was wheeled into the emergency surgery, I drove home, exhausted but happy.
The next day,when I went to the hospital to see the boy,all his family got up,with grateful smiles on their faces. What a feeling it was to help save the life of another person! I spent the rest of the day in a state of the most fabulous mood I had ever experienced. Driving home that evening, I decided on my career path. Two months of placements could not do what 30 minutes' helping an accident victim had done for me. This experience taught me that at times, the decisions are made for you—and that whatever happens is always for the best.
