It's a race against time, as generations of cultural heritage conservators at the Dunhuang Academy make a great effort to protect the artistic charm of the Mogao Caves, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, despite erosion (侵蚀) by sand and wind.
The team is dedicated to protecting the 45,000 square meters of murals(壁画) and more than 2,400 painted sculptures of the 735 caves of the site, the construction of which spans about a thousand years, from the 4th century to the 14th century.The cultural relics are the product of the cultural exchanges that took place over centuries on the ancient Silk Road.“Our work, repairing murals and painted sculptures, is to better preserve the caves, which promotes the great Dunhuang spirit of inclusiveness to the world and inspires modern people，” says Su Bomin, director of the Dunhuang Academy.
Commonly seen “diseases” affecting the murals include cracking and flaking(剥落), as well as erosion that is caused by changes in temperature and humidity of the caves, and the deposition of salts.To restore a mural requires an all-rounder.Restorers should know painting, master the skills of a mason and have some knowledge of chemistry and physics, to be able to recognize the problems and their corresponding causes and deliver a solution.They must also select proper materials and tools, and conduct experiments, before formally carrying out the restoration and evaluating the effect afterward.
The restoration should respect the original work and aim to maintain the status quo of the murals rather than repainting them.When the restorers find some parts of murals missing or fading away, they never repaint them to create a “perfect” appearance in restoration.“Cultural relics are witnesses of history，” explains Su.“When you pursue the so-called intact (完好无损的) look for artistic reasons, you will lose their key meaning.”
Cave conservation is about continuously solving problems.“It needs a long-term research to better preserve the caves, over a much wider time span that goes beyond our lifetimes，” Su says.But at least, they can keep the existing look of the murals for as long as possible.

All the Beauty in the World: The Metropolitan Museum of Art and Me, Patrick Bringley's memoir (回忆录) about his 10 years working as a guard at New York's Metropolitan Museum of Art (Met), brings new meaning to the term “art appreciation”．During 8—12 hour shifts spent among the galleries, he takes advantage of the gift of time to study the masterpieces he's been hired to protect and to think about the role of art throughout history.
Bringley is not the only Met staffer to write about the institution.But Bringley's “guard's-eye view” is unique, and he presents his personal story with sincerity.After his brother Tom's death from cancer in 2008, Bringley gave up his job as a journalist for a job in which “I was happy to be going nowhere”．He explains，“I had lost someone.I did not wish to move on from that.In a sense, I didn't wish to move at all.” Bringley doesn't say when he decided to channel his experience of finding peace into art, but this story about jumping off the career ladder in order to find the space for quiet reflection is surprisingly suited to our times.
All the Beauty in the World offers well-chosen facts about the museum to support Bringley's personal tale.As interesting as these facts are, it's Bringley's reflections on dozens of individual paintings, photographs, sculptures and ancient artifacts that turn this book into a tribute (致敬) to the power of art.Discussing Alfred Stieglitz's photographs of his wife, he writes，“I think that sometimes we need permission to stop and adore things, and a work of art gives us that.” In a Vermeer portrait of a dozing maidservant, he is moved to see that the artist caught “that feeling we sometimes have that a private setting possesses holiness (神圣) of its own.it was my constant feeling in Tom's hospital room”．
As rich in moving insights as the Met is in treasures, All the Beauty in the World reminds us of the importance of learning not about art, but from it.This is art appreciation at a high level.

A．By relating museum facts to his personal life.
B．By interviewing retired museum staff members.
C．By presenting the background of each masterpiece.
D．By engaging visitors in the discussion of the artworks.

For years, Egyptologists have hotly debated how the massive pyramids (金字塔) of ancient Egypt(埃及) were built more than 4,000 years ago.Now, a team of engineers and geologists brings a new theory to the table—a water lift device that would have floated the heavy stones up through the middle of Egypt's oldest pyramid using stored water.
Ancient Egyptians built the Step Pyramid for Pharaoh Djoser in the 27th century BC, and it was the tallest structure at the time, coming in at about 62 meters tall.But how exactly the structure was erected, with a number of stones weighing in at 300 kilograms, has remained a centuries-old mystery, according to the study published Monday in the journal PLOS One.
“Many detailed publications have discussed pyramid-building procedures and provided real examples, but these usually focus on more recent, better-documented, and smaller pyramids of the Middle and New Kingdoms (1980 to 1075 BC)，” said lead author Dr.Xavier Landreau, CEO of Paleotechnic, a privately owned research institute in Paris that studies ancient technologies.
“The techniques involved could include ramps(活动坡道), cranes(起重机), or a combination of these methods，” he added in an email.“But what about the Old Kingdom pyramids (2675 to 2130 BC), which are much bigger While human strength and ramps may be the only construction force for small structures, other techniques may have been used for large pyramids.”
Using a combined approach, the new paper was the first to report a system matching the Step Pyramid's internal architecture, the authors wrote.
A complex water treatment system drawing upon local resources could have created a water-powered elevator within the pyramid's internal vertical passage.Some type of float would have raised the heavy stones up the middle of the pyramid, according to the study.
9．What does the underlined word “erected ” in Paragraph 2 probably mean？
A．Changed. B．Designed.
C．Built. D．Destroyed.
10．Which may play a role in building small pyramids according to Dr.Landreau？
A．People and ramps. B．Ramps and cranes.
C．People and cranes. D．Water and ramps.
11．What is the main advantage of the water lift device in building pyramids？
A．It simplifies the use of ramps.
B．It helps to make heavy stones raised.
C．It increases the weight of the stones.
D．It uses some resources for treatment.
12．What is the best title for the text？
A．Water Lift Theory: A New View on Pyramid Construction
B．Recent Researches on the Stories of Egypt's Small Pyramid
C．A Historical Debate: Egypt's Pyramid Construction Secrets
D．Exploring Ancient Egyptian Pyramid Construction Mysteries

It's a race against time, as generations of cultural heritage conservators at the Dunhuang Academy make a great effort to protect the artistic charm of the Mogao Caves, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, despite erosion (侵蚀) by sand and wind.
The team is dedicated to protecting the 45,000 square meters of murals(壁画) and more than 2,400 painted sculptures of the 735 caves of the site, the construction of which spans about a thousand years, from the 4th century to the 14th century.The cultural relics are the product of the cultural exchanges that took place over centuries on the ancient Silk Road.“Our work, repairing murals and painted sculptures, is to better preserve the caves, which promotes the great Dunhuang spirit of inclusiveness to the world and inspires modern people，” says Su Bomin, director of the Dunhuang Academy.
Commonly seen “diseases” affecting the murals include cracking and flaking(剥落), as well as erosion that is caused by changes in temperature and humidity of the caves, and the deposition of salts.To restore a mural requires an all-rounder.Restorers should know painting, master the skills of a mason and have some knowledge of chemistry and physics, to be able to recognize the problems and their corresponding causes and deliver a solution.They must also select proper materials and tools, and conduct experiments, before formally carrying out the restoration and evaluating the effect afterward.
The restoration should respect the original work and aim to maintain the status quo of the murals rather than repainting them.When the restorers find some parts of murals missing or fading away, they never repaint them to create a “perfect” appearance in restoration.“Cultural relics are witnesses of history，” explains Su.“When you pursue the so-called intact (完好无损的) look for artistic reasons, you will lose their key meaning.”

语篇导读：本文介绍了中国围棋的特点、发展、对中国社会的影响等相关信息。
解析：
1．was favored 考查动词的时态、语态及主谓一致。句意：在中国古代，围棋主要是受知识分子，尤其是那些来自上层社会的知识分子青睐。分析句子结构可知，该空作谓语；根据“In ancient China”可知，应用一般过去时； Go和favor之间为被动关系，所以用被动语态；因为主语Go是单数概念，谓语也用第三人称单数形式。故填was favored。
2．upper 考查形容词。句意见上一题解析。此处表示“上层社会”，应用upper class。故填upper。
3．complicated 考查形容词。句意：只有那些受过一定程度教育的人才能玩得了这个游戏，因为它很复杂。该空作从句的表语，所以要用形容词。故填complicated。
4．requires 考查动词的时态和主谓一致。句意：它有太多不同的玩法，需要大量的计算。该空与前面的has由and连接并列作句子的谓语，此处介绍客观事实，且根据第一个谓语动词has可知，应该用一般现在时；主语It 是第三人称单数，所以谓语也用第三人称单数形式。故填requires。
5．gradually 考查副词。句意：原先玩围棋的那群知识分子逐渐将这种高雅的消遣提升到艺术领域，与古琴、书法和绘画齐名。该空作状语，修饰动词lifted，所以要用副词形式。故填gradually。
6．painting 考查名词。句意见上一题解析。该空与名词seven-stringed zither和calligraphy是并列关系，且作alongside的宾语，所以用名词形式。故填painting。
7．used 考查非谓语动词。句意：因此围棋的设备变得越来越注重细节，珍稀木材、玉石、蛤壳和水晶被用来制作围棋设备。该空作with的复合结构中的宾语补足语，应用非谓语形式，use和precious wood...crystal之间是逻辑上的被动关系，所以用过去分词形式。故填used。
8．on/upon 考查介词。句意：围棋游戏对中国社会的影响在各种文学作品中相当明显，这些文学作品中通常包括一两个以围棋棋盘为特色的场景。an influence on/upon...意为“对……的影响”，为固定搭配。故填on/upon。
9．featuring 考查非谓语动词。句意见上一题解析。该空为非谓语动词，作定语，修饰a scene or two；因为 feature与所修饰词之间是逻辑上的主动关系，所以用现在分词形式。故填featuring。
10．when/while 考查状语从句。句意：中国的经典著作之一《三国演义》描述了名将关羽在接受胳膊手术的时候还在下围棋。根据句意可知，此处表示“在……时候”，应用when或while引导时间状语从句。故填when/while。
