21、In the 17th century,the Netherlands experienced a period of artistic prosperity known as the Dutch Golden Age. During this period,artists found inspiration in Northern Renaissance painting techniques,contributing to masterpieces like Girl with a Pearl Earring by Johannes Vermeer.Known as the“Mona Lisa of the North”,this painting represents the best of Dutch art and it has become one of the most beloved paintings in art history.

Dutch artist Johannes Vermeer is famous for his paintings of contemporary Delft,a city in Holland where the artist was born,lived and died. Girl with a Pearl Earring is Vermeer’s most well-known work of art. However,it did not attain international fame at its time of completion. That came about at the end of the 20th century,when it was featured in a special exhibition in Washington,D. C.

Girl with a Pearl Earring does not show a specific person. Instead,it shows an unknown girl dressed in grand clothing,who is“like a vision coming from the darkness”and“belongs to no specific time or place”,art historian Arthur K. Wheelock explained.

Vermeer is known for his ability to create shapes and forms using light rather than lines. This characteristic approach is particularly evident in Girl with a Pearl Earring. First,he would“invent”,or create an initial drawing on the canvas. Then,he made a single colored underpainting(底层色).Next,he added color. And,finally,in order to make the piece extraordinarily bright,he would apply a thin layer of glaze(釉)to certain parts of the painting.

In addition to its fascinating context and appealing beauty,the piece is celebrated for the mystery that surrounds it.“When you think about Mona Lisa,she is also looking at us,but she isn’t engaging—she’s sitting back in the painting,self-contained,”Tracy Chevalier,the author of The New York Times’best-selling historical novel,Girl with a Pearl Earring,points out.“While the girl with a pearl earring in the painting is right there—there is nothing between her and us. She has this magical quality of being incredibly open and yet mysterious at the same time—and that is what makes her so appealing.”

【1】What inspired the creation of the painting Girl with a Pearl Earring?

A．The appearance of the girl.

B．Vermeer’s international fame.

C．Previous artists’painting skills.

D．Encouragement from other artists.

【2】What do we know about the painting Girl with a Pearl Earring?

A．It is set in the artist’s birthplace.

B．It makes the artist famous overnight.

C．It describes a particular and famous girl.

D．It is regarded as a match for Mona Lisa.

【3】What does paragraph 4 mainly talk about?

A．The subject of the painting.

B．Techniques used in the painting.

C．The historic value of the painting.

D．The mystery behind the painting.

【4】How does Tracy comment on the painting Girl with a Pearl Earring?

22、   Mya Le Thai is a scientist studying at the University of California, Irvine. She recently discovered a process that may result in batteries that last forever. Thai said she had been discouraged that the batteries for her wireless devices degrade. Over time, they fail to charge fully.

Thai did not like to have kept her wireless laptop connected to an electrical outlet. She decided to do something about that problem.

At first, she and her team thought about inventing a new battery. But as they experimented, Thai discovered something that might permit lithium-ion(锂离子) batteries to last forever. Lithium-ion batteries power most wireless devices. Over time, the batteries lose the ability to hold a charge. Most of these batteries have a life span of about 7,000 charging cycles before they die.

One of the reasons lithium-ion batteries degrade is their use of nanowires(纳米线) to carry electricity. Nanowires are extremely thin. A human hair is thousands of times thicker, for example. Nanowires are extremely efficient carriers of electricity, which makes them useful in batteries. But Thai said their thinness also makes them weak. “Nanowires break over time,” she said. “That's why they lose capacity(能力).”

But, Thai had a theory: The nanowires might last longer if covered with a material. She and the team tested her theory. The team tried many coverings for the wires. PMMA was one of them. The nanowires were coated with PMMA and cycled through charges 200,000 times. The PMMA coated nanowires showed no evidence of damage. The results suggest that batteries could last forever, without losing charging ability.

Thai hopes to continue her research to understand why this material works so well and to see if any other material could create better results.

“It's kind of cool,” she said, “I'm really glad people are showing interest in my work and not just in the work itself, but also in technology and energy.”

【1】What caused Thai to do research on the batteries?

A.Weak power of the batteries. B.Her habit to use her computer.

C.Inconvenient use of batteries. D.Her preference for batteries.

【2】What's the disadvantage of lithium-ion batteries?

A.They have a limited service life. B.They need charging very often.

C.They are not quite dependable. D.They are easy to break down.

【3】Why did Thai try covering the nanowires with a certain material?

A.To convey more electricity. B.To make them a thicker cover.

C.To make them much safer to use. D.To protect them from being damaged.

【4】What can probably be a suitable title for the text?

A.Batteries Would Work Without Recharging

B.Lithium-ion Batteries Might Come to an End

C.Batteries Lasting Forever Could Be Near Soon

D.Batteries Would Be Replaced By A New Power

23、“Do not tell anyone”. We often hear these words when someone tells us a secret. But keeping a secret is hard. We’re often tempted（引诱）to “spill the beans”, even if we regret it later.

According to the professor, Asim Shah, keeping a secret may well “become a burden”. This is because people often have an “eager and anxious urge（冲动）to share it with someone”. An earlier study, led by Anita, a scientist at the University of Notre Dame, US, suggested that keeping a secret could cause stress. People entrusted（托付）with secrets can suffer from depression, anxiety, and body aches, reported the Daily Mail.

Secrets are so often getting out. Why do people share them at all? Shah explained that people often feel that it will help them keep a person as a friend. Another reason people share secrets is guilt over keeping it from someone close to them. A sense of distrust can develop when people who are close do not share it with each other. “Keeping or sharing secrets often puts people in a position of either gaining or losing the trust of someone, ”according to Shah.

He added that talkative people could let secrets slip out. But this doesn’t mean that it is a good idea only to share secrets with quiet people. A quiet person may be someone who keeps everything inside. To tell such a person a secret may cause them stress, and make them talk about the secret.

Shah said that to judge whether to tell someone a secret, you’d better put yourself in their position, Think about how you would feel to be told that you mustn’t give the information away. Shah also recommended that if you accidentally give up someone’s secret you should come clean about it. Let the person know that their secret isn’t so secret anymore.

【1】Why does the author say keeping a secret may “become a burden”?

A．Because people are born not to be able to keep secrets.

B．Because when people have secrets, their bodies ache.

C．Because keeping secrets is certain to cause depression.

D．Because keeping secrets could probably be harmful to health.

【2】How many reasons have been mentioned in Paragraph 3 why people tend to share secrets?

A．2.

B．3.

C．4.

D．5.

【3】What does the underlined words “spill the beans” mean?

A．To fall by accident.

B．To let out secrets on purpose.

C．To spread secrets to everyone around.

D．To give away secrets unintentionally.

【4】What can we learn from the passage?

A．Quiet people are more likely to keep the secrets to themselves.

B．Sharing secrets helps establish friendship or get over the, sense of guilt.

C．Putting yourself in others’ shoes helps realize the importance of keeping secrets.

D．A person who is asked to keep a secret will suffer from psychological problems only.

24、   As we all know, trees are always stationary: they stay more or less where you plant them, and no one worries about finding a tree wandering around a park or back yard.

However, there is one special exception, some say：the so called walking palm tree (棕榈树) was found in the rainforests of Central and South America. Many people believe it can really walk around. This is because of its unusual root system: while most trees have one trunk, the palm breaks into many smaller roots a few feet off the ground, giving it the appearance of many little legs.

The amazing walking ability of the palm tree has always been told by rainforest guides to tourists for years, and appears in many sources of documents as an amazing plant adaptation. As journalist Sherry Seethaler writes in her book Curious Folks Ask 2: “Screen writers searching for the perfect B-movie (小成本电影) plant hero could take inspiration from the walking palm, The tree slowly walks from shade to sunlight by growing new roots toward the light.”

A tree that walks in search of the sun is a fascinating, strange story. And it's not true either; the tree is real enough, but it doesn't walk. It sits where it began to grow, not moving except under the force of wind or an axe.

Biologist Gerardo Avalos is one of the world's top experts on the Socratea exorrhiza. His analysis of the plant and its roots shows that the walking tree can't walk because its roots don't move. A few roots on one side or another may die off, but the trunk itself remains, well, rooted to the spot.

“My paper proves that the belief of the walking palm is just a myth,” Avalos said. “Thinking that a palm tree could actually track the sunlight changes by moving slowly over the forest floor…is a myth that tourist guides find amusing to tell visitors to the rainforest.”

【1】What does the underlined word “stationary” in Paragraph 1 mean?

A．Not standing.

B．Not moving.

C．Not growing.

D．Not dying.

【2】Why do people think Socratea exorrhiza can walk around?

A．It has no roots underground.

B．It appears to have several trunks.

C．It grows a few feet off the ground.

D．It appears to have many little legs.

【3】What can we learn about the palm tree from the passage?

A．It wanders around the rainforest at night.

B．It grows in Central and North America.

C．It is a popular attraction among visitors.

D．It grows well in the shade of the rainforests.

【4】What does biologist Gerardo Avalos believe?

A．The palm tree cannot actually walk at all.

B．The palm tree can move its roots.

C．The palm tree cannot track the sunlight.

D．The palm tree cannot keep its trunk growing.
