With such a strong artistic heritage, it's no surprise that England knocks it out of the park when it comes to world-class art galleries. These are the galleries you need to add to your must-visit list.
Royal Academy of Arts (RA), London
Not your standard gallery, the Royal Academy of Arts is led by artists to promote not just the appreciation of art, but its practice. It is world-famous for hosting some exhibitions that get everyone talking. Besides, what sets the RA apart is its engagement with the public through participatory experiences, allowing visitors to not only view art but become part of it in innovative ways.
Sainsbury Centre for Visual Arts, Norwich
Sitting on the edge of the University of East Anglia's campus, the Sainsbury Centre holds a collection of remarkable works of art spanning over 2,000 years.

Yorkshire Seulpture Park, West Yorkshire
Tearing up the rule book when it comes to how we traditionally view art, the Yorkshire Sculpture Park strives to break down barriers by showing works from British and international artists in the open air.

Whitworth, Manchester
After a sky-high 15 million development, the Whitworth is becoming one of the premier galleries in the north of England.

Because my stories keep my heart pounding at night with the possibility of it all, when I can't get words on paper, I want to scream. All my energy gathers at the bottom of my heart, where it continues to yell at me all day long, " Write! Write! Write!" I have to quiet the voice like a hidden pet, shushing(发嘘声) it over and over until I get the chance to leave, a laptop in hand, stories pouring out of my mind.
What poor, unfortunate lives we artists live! We're tortured by our words, whether they're circling around in our minds at 3 a. m. or written on paper, looking sad and regretful that we've put them there. Our words laugh at us before and after they leave our bodies. I messaged a writing mentor(导师) when I found myself running round in circles. With only a small window of time to myself each afternoon, I found it hard to write. If only I had more time, I could finish my book. If only people would leave me alone, I could become an accomplished writer. It was everyone else’s fault.
Small --- my mentor told me to start small but keep going. " Do what you can, when you can. Let that be enough during the busy seasons." In her eyes, she was once me. She was once crazy with tasks that kept her hands pushing, pulling, grabbing and moving endlessly. She recognized herself in the way I talked with starry eyes about my dreamy writing goals and plans. Essays, articles and short stories flowered in my rich mind.
In a few wise words, she gave me the freedom to write in small periods of time she called " the cracks of the day". She argued that I should run after publishing with the same desire as ever. But in her patient voice, I heard a gentle reminder of stopping running so hard and instead slowing to a sustainable pace.
So I write. I submit. I live, and I dream.
24. What can we infer about the author from the first paragraph
A. She is forced to write constantly. B. She has a strong desire to write.
C. She has serious heart problems. D. She is unable to focus on reading.
25. What does the underlined word " tortured" in Paragraph 2 probably mean

26. What problem did the author have in writing
A. She had no one to rely on.
B. She was challenged by other writers
C. She suffered from a serious lack of time.
D. She couldn't make a living by writing stories.
27. Which of the following can sum up the writing mentor's suggestion to the author

C
According to a well-known team of researchers，there are three kinds of smiles: genuine, false, and miserable. How can we distinguish them In experiments where subjects are shown photos of fake and natural smiles, people are pretty good at telling the difference. But the researchers also indicates that in the real world, most people are less able to distinguish between them. They are distracted by other elements of communication such as speech, hand gestures, and other body movements. However, if they are to focus only on the face, they will probably know whether a smile is genuine or not.
This is because two muscles are involved in natural smiles. The first muscle is a ring-like band of muscle around each eye. When it contracts(收缩), it causes what we know as " smiling eyes". The other muscle extends from the top of the cheekbone to the corners of the mouth. It moves the mouth upwards when we smile. This muscle on its own produces what we call the " mouth smile". When people genuinely smile, in a natural burst of positive emotions, the corners of the mouth move up and the muscles around the eyes also contract. It is these muscles that show that a smile is sincere.
Smiles can mean very different things in different countries. In the USA, for example, a smile is a friendly, positive gesture of trust. In contrast, in some Asian societies, people smile when they are happy, of course, but also when they feel anger, sadness, confusion, or embarrassment, perhaps to mask their true feelings.
Cultural norms aside, some people tend to smile more than others and that seems to indicate they are cheerful, optimistic types. But that relationship isn't strictly true. Some people rarely smile but are quite happy. Others often have a smile on their face when they are actually feeling anxious. Human communication is full of uncertainties and we sometimes have a difficult time understanding each other, but a genuine, heartfelt smile that lights up a face can never be misunderstood.
28. What did the experiments show
A. Most people tend to force a smile when taking pictures.
B. People wearing a fake smile can be genuine sometimes.
C. People using body language are often smiling genuinely.
D. Most people fail to detect fake smiles in reality due to distractions.
29. What is paragraph 2 mainly about
A. How to control facial muscles. B. How smiles influence emotions.
C. How to distinguish different smiles. D. How natural smiles happen
30. Why are the USA and some Asian societies mentioned in the text
A. To show the problems brought by smiling
B.To show some cultural differences of smiling
C. To explain how people hide their true feelings
D. To explain why smiling more can have positive effects,
31. What can we infer from the last paragraph
A. Smiling has little to do with character.
B. Smiling can clear up misunderstandings.
C. People rarely smiling are hard to get on with.
D. Uncertain smiles cannot lead to close relationships.
D
The next time you find yourself in nature，away from the crowded urban environment, take a deep breath of the fresh and clean air. That refreshing breath is made possible by the trees around you.
Today, our cars and machines fill the air with carbon emissions. But scientists imagine a future, where vehicles will clean the air as efficiently as trees do. Euronews reports that the electric car, designed by Dutch students at Eindhoven University of Technology, is capable of removing a small amount of carbon from the air.
The car's sporty frame is nearly entirely composed of recycled plastics produced by a 3D-printer and the engine is powered by an electric lithium-ion(锂离子) battery. By using 3D printing, the team could produce parts in the exact shape needed, with very little waste. Since nearly 2 billion tires end up in the trash yearly, the students also teamed up with Black Bear Carbon to source recycled black carbon for the tires. Moreover, solar panels fitted to the car's roof allow it to act as an external solar power source for a house.
According to Reuters, electric vehicles produce near-zero CO2 emissions as they drive. The drawback of these batteries, however, is that the process needed to create the battery cells for electric cars is still highly polluting. To offset the harmful effect of creating the lithium-ion batteries, the team fitted the car with two filters(过滤器), which can capture(捕获) two kilograms of CO2 every I8,000 miles or so. That might not sound like a lot, but the team is confident they can make sure the two filters will capture more CO2.
The team is now on tour in the US to promote their model, which they call ZEM for Zero-Emission Mobility, and to share their vision for the future. They picture electric car charging stations also fitted with the capacity to empty CO2. " Our end goal is to create a more sustainable future," said Jens Lahaijie, a member of the team that produced the car,
32. What can we know about the electric car
A. It is a completely 3D-printed product.
B. Its design is environmentally friendly.
C. It is still dependent on traditional fuels.
D. Its task is to protect trees in urban areas
33. What will the Dutch students do with their electric car
A. Equip it with more filters and solar panels.
B. Increase its driving speed in a short time
C. Reduce its dependence on lithium-ion batteries.
D. Improve its filters' capability of capturing CO,.
34. What can we learn from the last paragraph
A. The electric car hasn't come to market in the US
B. Electric car charging stations are common.
C. The future of electric cars turns out uncertain.
D. The electric car model has won great favor
35. Which of the following can be a suitable title for the text
A. Carbon Capture Technology Is Used
B. Eco-Friendly Cars Are in Great Need
C. An Electric Car Helps to Clean the Air
D. A Sustainable Future Is Shared Together
第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分）
阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
Being approachable brings you many advantages. However, you often struggle to make friends and network when you are perceived as not being friendly, So how do you make yourself approachable 36
Avoid isolating(孤立) yourself.
The first step is to consider whether you open yourself to contact others. Looking angry and crossing your arms can suggest to others that you are not to be approached. 37 Besides, avoid corners and spaces where you can't be seen if you want others to find you.
Listen actively.
The basic skill to master to be someone's go-to person is to listen first. 38 We might feel like we get the hang of everything or just want to provide the advice and get it over with. However, listening is often important and even more important than being able to fix the problem.
Avoid a judgmental attitude.
39 It depends on how you choose to respond to them and what you say. Sometimes, we might make a judgment. It has certainly happened to you before. Usually, it hurts, even if it could be true. It makes others less likely to come back and talk to you again. Instead, offer listening and reserve your judgments.
40
If you want to be seen as more approachable, you can also invite people to come to you. Do it only if you mean it and be sincere in offering your support. Open some time in your schedule to welcome people or, if you can't, schedule a follow-up meeting.
A. Invite people to come to you
B. Persuade people to come back later.
C. Here are a few ways to help you enhance this aspect.
D. It allows you to share your troubles with others honestly.
E. Often, we get the urge to interrupt or rush the conversation along.
F. The way you respond also encourages others to come to you again.
G. So you can try to appear more approachable by focusing on your body language.

阅读下面短文，在空白处填入1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。
Nut carving, known as Hediao in Chinese, generally refers 56 two kinds of carvings that use the fruit's pit(核), like peach pits, and walnuts(核桃) as the raw material.
It gained 57 (popular) in the Song Dynasty, and by the Ming Dynasty, the art form had made very high achievements, with many of the rich and high officials 58 (consider) it fashionable to wear a piece of nut carving around. The ancient artists left their considerable skills on those small works, 59 featured human figures, various birds and beasts, and even lines of poems.
The hardest thing about nut carving is that each piece of the raw material is different in texture (纹理) and flexibility. By looking at the textures on the surface of a walnut, a seasoned carving artist can basically tell whether the piece can 60 (use) for carving. In carving the artwork, the artist should first have 61 basic blueprint in his mind according to the textures on the surface, and then make adjustments when meeting any 62 (hide) holes in the pits or walnuts. The whole carving process 63 (constant ) requires reconsideration and creation, and there is no established pattern to follow.
64 (be) a good nut carver, one needs not only the basic skills in painting, calligraphy, and carving, but special materials, knives, good observation, flexible fingers, unique ideas, and 65 (exception) patience.

My Best Teaching Experience
Tyler was only in my senior class for a semester. He had been suspended(使停学) many times in previous years because of his anger issues. When he entered my class, I thought the worst.
Tyler sat in the back row. Every time I talked to the class, I would ask students questions, calling them by name. Unfortunately, every time I called on Tyler, he would respond with a joke. If he got an answer wrong, he would become angry.
About a month into the year, I was still trying to connect with Tyler. I can usually get students involved in class discussions or at east have them sit quietly and attentively(专心地). By contrast, Tyler was often loud and sometimes rude.
He had been in so much trouble over the years. He expected his teachers to know about his past: about how many times he had been sent to the office or suspended from school. I had found that these sorts of referrals (移交) were not very effective and that students would return from the office behaving worse than before.
One day, Tyler was talking over me while I was teaching.I stopped my lesson and said, "Tyler, why don't you join in our discussion instead of having one of your own With that, he got up from his chair, pushed it over and yelled something. I can't remember what he said other than that he included some impolite words. I sent Tyler straight to the office, and he received a week's suspension.
To this point, this was one of my worst teaching experiences. Tyler's anger was almost too much for me. The week Tyler was suspended from school was a wonderful time, and we got a lot accomplished as a class.However, the suspension week would soon come to an end, and I was fearful of his return.
续写要求:
1. 续写词数应为 150 左右;
2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
On the day of Tyler's return, I stood at the door awaiting(等待) him.
A spark of surprise flashed across his face.

In a few wise words, she gave me the freedom to write in small periods of time she called " the cracks of the day". She argued that I should run after publishing with the same desire as ever. But in her patient voice, I heard a gentle reminder of stopping running so hard and instead slowing to a sustainable pace.
So I write. I submit. I live, and I dream.

According to a well-known team of researchers，there are three kinds of smiles: genuine, false, and miserable. How can we distinguish them In experiments where subjects are shown photos of fake and natural smiles, people are pretty good at telling the difference. But the researchers also indicates that in the real world, most people are less able to distinguish between them. They are distracted by other elements of communication such as speech, hand gestures, and other body movements. However, if they are to focus only on the face, they will probably know whether a smile is genuine or not.
This is because two muscles are involved in natural smiles. The first muscle is a ring-like band of muscle around each eye. When it contracts(收缩), it causes what we know as " smiling eyes". The other muscle extends from the top of the cheekbone to the corners of the mouth. It moves the mouth upwards when we smile. This muscle on its own produces what we call the " mouth smile". When people genuinely smile, in a natural burst of positive emotions, the corners of the mouth move up and the muscles around the eyes also contract. It is these muscles that show that a smile is sincere.
Smiles can mean very different things in different countries. In the USA, for example, a smile is a friendly, positive gesture of trust. In contrast, in some Asian societies, people smile when they are happy, of course, but also when they feel anger, sadness, confusion, or embarrassment, perhaps to mask their true feelings.
Cultural norms aside, some people tend to smile more than others and that seems to indicate they are cheerful, optimistic types. But that relationship isn't strictly true. Some people rarely smile but are quite happy. Others often have a smile on their face when they are actually feeling anxious. Human communication is full of uncertainties and we sometimes have a difficult time understanding each other, but a genuine, heartfelt smile that lights up a face can never be misunderstood.

A. How to control facial muscles. B. How smiles influence emotions.
C. How to distinguish different smiles. D. How natural smiles happen
30. Why are the USA and some Asian societies mentioned in the text
A. To show the problems brought by smiling
B.To show some cultural differences of smiling
C. To explain how people hide their true feelings
D. To explain why smiling more can have positive effects,
31. What can we infer from the last paragraph
A. Smiling has little to do with character.
B. Smiling can clear up misunderstandings.
C. People rarely smiling are hard to get on with.
D. Uncertain smiles cannot lead to close relationships.

The next time you find yourself in nature，away from the crowded urban environment, take a deep breath of the fresh and clean air. That refreshing breath is made possible by the trees around you.
Today, our cars and machines fill the air with carbon emissions. But scientists imagine a future, where vehicles will clean the air as efficiently as trees do. Euronews reports that the electric car, designed by Dutch students at Eindhoven University of Technology, is capable of removing a small amount of carbon from the air.
The car's sporty frame is nearly entirely composed of recycled plastics produced by a 3D-printer and the engine is powered by an electric lithium-ion(锂离子) battery. By using 3D printing, the team could produce parts in the exact shape needed, with very little waste. Since nearly 2 billion tires end up in the trash yearly, the students also teamed up with Black Bear Carbon to source recycled black carbon for the tires. Moreover, solar panels fitted to the car's roof allow it to act as an external solar power source for a house.
According to Reuters, electric vehicles produce near-zero CO2 emissions as they drive. The drawback of these batteries, however, is that the process needed to create the battery cells for electric cars is still highly polluting. To offset the harmful effect of creating the lithium-ion batteries, the team fitted the car with two filters(过滤器), which can capture(捕获) two kilograms of CO2 every I8,000 miles or so. That might not sound like a lot, but the team is confident they can make sure the two filters will capture more CO2.
The team is now on tour in the US to promote their model, which they call ZEM for Zero-Emission Mobility, and to share their vision for the future. They picture electric car charging stations also fitted with the capacity to empty CO2. " Our end goal is to create a more sustainable future," said Jens Lahaijie, a member of the team that produced the car,
32. What can we know about the electric car
A. It is a completely 3D-printed product.
B. Its design is environmentally friendly.
C. It is still dependent on traditional fuels.
D. Its task is to protect trees in urban areas
33. What will the Dutch students do with their electric car
A. Equip it with more filters and solar panels.
B. Increase its driving speed in a short time
C. Reduce its dependence on lithium-ion batteries.
D. Improve its filters' capability of capturing CO,.
34. What can we learn from the last paragraph
A. The electric car hasn't come to market in the US
B. Electric car charging stations are common.
C. The future of electric cars turns out uncertain.
D. The electric car model has won great favor
35. Which of the following can be a suitable title for the text
A. Carbon Capture Technology Is Used
B. Eco-Friendly Cars Are in Great Need
C. An Electric Car Helps to Clean the Air
D. A Sustainable Future Is Shared Together

Being approachable brings you many advantages. However, you often struggle to make friends and network when you are perceived as not being friendly, So how do you make yourself approachable 36
Avoid isolating(孤立) yourself.
The first step is to consider whether you open yourself to contact others. Looking angry and crossing your arms can suggest to others that you are not to be approached. 37 Besides, avoid corners and spaces where you can't be seen if you want others to find you.
Listen actively.
The basic skill to master to be someone's go-to person is to listen first. 38 We might feel like we get the hang of everything or just want to provide the advice and get it over with. However, listening is often important and even more important than being able to fix the problem.
Avoid a judgmental attitude.
39 It depends on how you choose to respond to them and what you say. Sometimes, we might make a judgment. It has certainly happened to you before. Usually, it hurts, even if it could be true. It makes others less likely to come back and talk to you again. Instead, offer listening and reserve your judgments.

If you want to be seen as more approachable, you can also invite people to come to you. Do it only if you mean it and be sincere in offering your support. Open some time in your schedule to welcome people or, if you can't, schedule a follow-up meeting.
A. Invite people to come to you
B. Persuade people to come back later.

Nut carving, known as Hediao in Chinese, generally refers 56 two kinds of carvings that use the fruit's pit(核), like peach pits, and walnuts(核桃) as the raw material.
It gained 57 (popular) in the Song Dynasty, and by the Ming Dynasty, the art form had made very high achievements, with many of the rich and high officials 58 (consider) it fashionable to wear a piece of nut carving around. The ancient artists left their considerable skills on those small works, 59 featured human figures, various birds and beasts, and even lines of poems.
The hardest thing about nut carving is that each piece of the raw material is different in texture (纹理) and flexibility. By looking at the textures on the surface of a walnut, a seasoned carving artist can basically tell whether the piece can 60 (use) for carving. In carving the artwork, the artist should first have 61 basic blueprint in his mind according to the textures on the surface, and then make adjustments when meeting any 62 (hide) holes in the pits or walnuts. The whole carving process 63 (constant ) requires reconsideration and creation, and there is no established pattern to follow.
64 (be) a good nut carver, one needs not only the basic skills in painting, calligraphy, and carving, but special materials, knives, good observation, flexible fingers, unique ideas, and 65 (exception) patience.

My Best Teaching Experience
Tyler was only in my senior class for a semester. He had been suspended(使停学) many times in previous years because of his anger issues. When he entered my class, I thought the worst.
Tyler sat in the back row. Every time I talked to the class, I would ask students questions, calling them by name. Unfortunately, every time I called on Tyler, he would respond with a joke. If he got an answer wrong, he would become angry.
About a month into the year, I was still trying to connect with Tyler. I can usually get students involved in class discussions or at east have them sit quietly and attentively(专心地). By contrast, Tyler was often loud and sometimes rude.
He had been in so much trouble over the years. He expected his teachers to know about his past: about how many times he had been sent to the office or suspended from school. I had found that these sorts of referrals (移交) were not very effective and that students would return from the office behaving worse than before.
One day, Tyler was talking over me while I was teaching.I stopped my lesson and said, "Tyler, why don't you join in our discussion instead of having one of your own With that, he got up from his chair, pushed it over and yelled something. I can't remember what he said other than that he included some impolite words. I sent Tyler straight to the office, and he received a week's suspension.
To this point, this was one of my worst teaching experiences. Tyler's anger was almost too much for me. The week Tyler was suspended from school was a wonderful time, and we got a lot accomplished as a class.However, the suspension week would soon come to an end, and I was fearful of his return.
续写要求:
1. 续写词数应为 150 左右;
2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
On the day of Tyler's return, I stood at the door awaiting(等待) him.
A spark of surprise flashed across his face.
