Finally, he reached out to touch the insect. To his surprise, he found only wet paint. Actually Giotto had painted the fly when Cimabue was away, and it looked so real that Cimabue had been completely fooled.Giotto di Bondone was born in a poor farming family. Legend has it that while he was tending goats he drew a picture on a rock and that the artist Cimabue,who happened to be passing by, saw him at work and was so impressed with the boy’s talent that he took him into his studio as an apprentice(学徒).In the Middle Ages,an apprentice’s job was to copy his master as exactly as he could, which resulted in a distinct lack of new ideas. In fact,art in the Middle Ages seemed to have been stuck in a rut. The people in paintings didn’t look like real people,and the symbolism of art was often so remote that it must have been difficult for viewers to connect with it on a personal level. But Giotto thought art could be something more.To accomplish this goal, Giotto adopted many techniques that were uncommon at the time. He painted people the way he saw them,instead of the overly tall and boxy people that other artists painted. He created three-dimensional space by using perspective, something thathad not been done since Roman times. Finally, he threw out parts of the symbolism associated with medieval painting. For example, at that time the Christ Child was usually drawn as a mature man who was only a baby in size. This symbolized that Christ was wise even though he was young. Instead,Giotto painted the Christ Child as a baby,which emphasized the human relationship between the child and his mother.The ideas Giotto brought to painting throughout his life revolutionized the art world and made him one of the greatest painters ever.4．Why does the author mention the fly event in paragraph 1?A．To prove the pupil outdoes the master.B．To stress the fly was vividly painted.C．To relate how Cimabue was tricked.D．To demonstrate art has no limits.5．Why did Cimabue decide to instruct Giotto?A．Giotto would be a helpful assistant.B．Cimabue desired to rid Giotto of poverty.C．Giotto badly needed Cimabue’s guidance.D．Cimabue sensed a great potential in Giotto.6．What can we learn about art in the Middle Ages in paragraph 3?A．It lacked innovation.B．It highlighted realism.C．It bonded well with viewers.D．It underwent great changes.7．Why did Giotto paint the Christ Child as a baby?A．To portray people in a realistic way.B．To try the technique of perspective.C．To distinguish himself from other painters.D．D．To bring a sense of symbolism to his painting.Winemakers in the Rioja area in northern Spain make some of the best wine in the world. But in recent years,winemakers there have been having difficulty producing good wine. They say when the temperature was cooler, the wine tasted better, but it was 2.2 degrees Celsius higher than average in 2022. Now,a genetic research has shown that grape vines living for more than 35 years are better able to deal with high temperatures brought by climate change.Researchers like Pablo Carbonell think older grape vines may be able to grow better inhigher temperatures. Carbonell looks at rows of gray shapes on his computer screen. Among them was a green rectangle,which represents a kind of grape vine that produces grapes that take longer to ripen,even in warmer conditions.A longer ripeness period is what winemakers want. The current vines produce grapes that are ready to pick too early. Such grapes do not make wine that has the right color and smell and has too much alcohol.People who work in the vineyards have long crossed old vines with new ones. Now they are working with special laboratories to find a climate-resistant vine. One of them is the Vine and Wine Research Institute,known as the ICVV in Spain. The lab is working to keep the Spanish wine making industry alive as temperatures rise. The scientists there are studying the genomes(基因组)of commonly used grapes in wine and looking for traits，or qualities，that might permit the vines to survive in a warmer climate instead of looking for mutation(变异)that causes diseases.In addition to the genetic research,scientists are also working on different planting methods.A winery called RODA is planting vines in a curve instead of a straight line. The hope is that plants will soak up more water this way. The new vineyard is made up of vines that were over 100 years old and moved from another place.Maria Santolaya is an agricultural engineer and part of RODA’s technical team. She said the hot weather was very problematic. But,“our biggest concern,”she added,“is what will happen in 20 or 30 years. We don’t really know how things will come out.”8．What mainly causes the quality of wine to decline in Spain?A．Shortage of rainfall.B．High temperature.C．Genetic variation.D．Geographical location.9．What does the Carbonell’s research find in paragraph 2?A．Grapes picked too early won’t have the sugar content.B．Grapes with a longer ripeness period make good wine.C．Grapes in hot regions won’t lose their original flavor.D．Grapes from older vines have a rise in production.10．What is being done to keep the Spanish winemaking industry alive?A．Make use of older grape vines.B．Develop disease-resistant grape vines.C．Replace old grape vines with new ones.D．Cultivate grape vines with abundant water.11．What is Maria’s attitude to climate change?A．Indifferent.B．Unclear.C．Worried.D．Conservative.Imagine you bought a new shirt and did not intend to buy a new jacket,however,you suppose that the new shirt makes the old jacket look worn. You weaken and buy a new jacket, new trousers,even new shoes.Before you realize it,you have a whole new wardrobe.And maybe an empty bank account.This is called the Diderot Effect. Denis Diderot,a well-known French philosopher,was the co-founder and writer of Encyclopedia. However，he was too badly off to afford a dowry(嫁妆)for his daughter. His only valuable possessions were books. Hearing of Diderot’s financial troubles,Catherine the Great,the Empress of Russia, offered to buy his library at a high price. Shortly after this lucky sale，Diderot acquired a new dressing gown(长袍)which had a huge effect on his life. As he wrote in the article in 1769, the new dressing gown made his other belongings seem old and unattractive. Thus, he began replacing them.According to many social scientists,it resulted from a psychological need for our possessions to go together and to reflect our self-image. In1988, anthropologist Grant McCracken coined the term “the Diderot Effect” to describe this need and its influence on consumerism.Marketers utilize this need by displaying products in what McCracken calls Diderot Unities. An example is the Swedish furniture company IKEA, whose marketing uses two kinds of Diderot Unities in its shops, website and catalogue. One is dividing items like lamps and rugs into various furniture “families”. The other is displaying items in fully furnished rooms. Shops count on all of these to create the Diderot Effect, making the buyer want the entire package.We may occasionally give in to the Diderot Effect,but knowing it exists can help us resist it so we don’t regret our purchases. Before buying something, ask yourself, is it necessary? Then, buy items that match what you already have. And remind yourself that a new chair won’t transform your bedroom into a showroom!12．What can we infer about Denis Diderot from paragraph 2?A．His belongings were out of style.B．He showed interest in nothing but books.C．He kept on buying new items after the lucky sale.D．His new dressing gown landed him in financial troubles.13．Why are people always buying things they don’t actually need?A．To improve their social status.B．To show off their beauty and elegance.C．To make their belongings better matched.D．To cater for the needs of family members.14．What does the underlined word “utilize” mean in paragraph 4?A．Get rid of.B．Ignore.C．Affect.D．Take advantage of.15．What can be a suitable title for the text?A．Keep an eye on your bank accountB．Embrace Minimalism:less is moreC．The Diderot Effect:a two-edged swordD．Have you ever given in to the Diderot Effect?二、七选五Expressive writing is a cornerstone of wellness and writing connections. If you are not familiar with it,you may be asking:“Just what is expressive writing, and how is that related to my wellness?”Expressive writing is personal and emotional writing without regard to form or other writing conventions.____16____It is one common tool used by psychologists in therapy and hundreds of studies found that it could be healing in many circumstances such as for cancer patients or those with disabilities.Expressive writing therapy works because it allows you to make meaning out of a painful experience,experts say.

As a famous doctor, Sigmund Freud has problems telling his left from his right． He writes in his diary: I do not know whether it is obvious to other people which is their own or other's right or left． In my case, I have to think which is my right and no organic feeling tells me． To make sure which is my right hand, I have to make a few writing movements quickly．Neuroscientist Eric Chudler at the University of Washington referred to a recent study where 71 of 364 （19.5 percent） college professors and 311 of 1, 185 （26.2 percent）college students said that they occasionally, frequently or all of the time had difficulty when they had to quickly identify right from left． Chudler told The Washington Post that 95 percent of the 3, 719 people who tried his test reported more difficulty with left/right than with up/down．In most cases, left/right confusion is rarely a big deal． But knowing your directions obviously can be critical if you're a surgeon or a pilot． That's why in key situations, there are plans in place to minimize（使减到最少）the chance of problems． In a health care situation, someone may write "not this leg" on a limb（肢）, for example． And in the air, because distractions（分心）can cause any number of errors, pilots must avoid all non ﹣essential conversation during the critical phases of flight．Experts say that right/left confusion doesn't mean you're not smart． But scientists aren't totally sure what causes the right/left confusion． There does, however, seem to be a link between right/left confusion and brain lateralization（偏侧性）﹣the fact that the right and left halves of the brain each control unique functions．There may, however, be an association with gender（性别）． Several studies have found that women are more likely than men to say they are sometimes unable to distinguish between their right and their left． But some researchers say that's only because women are more likely than men to admit they may have a problem．（1）According to Sigruund Freud's diary， he________．A can't tell the right directlyB doesn't know which is his right handC is more foolish than other peopleD isn't satisfied with his organic feeling．（2）Eric Chudler mentions the numbers in Paragraph 2 to tell us that________．A it is easy to tell up from downB left/right is as important as up/downC many people have trouble with left/rightD most people can judge left/right easily．（3）Which of the following may be the important moment of flight according to the text？________A When the plane is taking off．B When the plane is coming down．C When the pilot is talking with others．D When the pilot is judging the directions．．（4）Where can you probably read the text？________A In a private diary．B In a science fiction．C In a latest newspaper．D In a fashion magazine．3. The great thing about libraries is that they house all types of books﹣from mysteries to biographies to dramas﹣all in one location． The bad thing about libraries is that they house all types of books in one location, and if it's a location you can't get to, you're out of luck． Now, mobile library solutions are appearing quickly around the country to bring books to people who need them．A few years ago, when the Little Free Libraries Movement launched, more people of all ages could have access to books． Now, more than 15, 000 free book stands can be foundaround the world, bringing books to unexpected places． But many folks simply can't get to the places where the books are． Bookmobile buses are a good solution, but they can be expensive to fund and to operate．Books on bikes programs are popping up（出现）in areas where there is a strong bike culture, such as Seattle, or a strong need to bring books to the masses, such as in San Francisco．The Seattle Public Library's Books on Bikes program is made up of three bike/trailer combos（复合）that librarians bring to community events． The trailers are even Wi﹣Fi enabled so that visitors can sign up for a library card and browse（浏览）the library's card catalog on the spot．"Seattle has a really strong bike culture so we want to tap into that and provide full service library programs but do it in a way that is quick and smart．" librarian Jared Mills said in an interview．San Francisco's program, called Bibliobicicleta, was launched in 2013 by librarian Alicia Tapia． Her trailer can hold about 100 books and attracts readers of all ages and income levels． It's an independent, donation﹣based library﹣ike a Little Free Library, but on wheels．When asked why she would launch a free library on a bike, Tapia answers, "Whynot? Bikes are cool, and can go anywhere．"（1）According to the writer， the traditional libraries________．A are popular among the readersB are large enough to hold any bookC are not very convenient to the readersD can bring books to people who need them．（2）Which of the following may be the disadvantage of the bookmobile buses？________A They are full of many travelers．B They cost a large amount of money．C They hold the limited number of books．D They bring books to unexpected places．．（3）The writer mentions Seattle to tell us that________．A bikes are popular in itB visitors can use free Wi﹣Fi in itC it is the same as the city of San FranciscoD the library card is useful to the visitors．（4）Tapia's answer suggests that she________．A enjoys showing off by bikeB shows impatience to the readersC is eager to make the readers happyD thinks libraries on bikes are practical．4. Despite the countless differences between people's characters and careers, or their likes and their dislikes, it seems that we are all connected in this wonderful life by onething: namely, seeking happiness．Happiness means, naturally, different things to different people． For myself, happiness is synonymous（同义的）with horse riding, Cadbury's Creme Eggs and spending time with my friends． Some people are at their happiest at home, while others find their happiness through travelling far﹣off foreign lands． Happiness can be as simple as a surprise bunch of fresh flowers or a really strong coffee, just when you need it most． Sometimes, happiness comes from spending time with loved ones; for others, it's having a well﹣earned quietnight at home, with nothing but a comfortable bed for company．Since it comes in so many shapes and sizes, it's sometimes easy to take happiness for granted． It is especially true if it's been "________"． Maybe you overslept, missed the bus and had to walk to school in the rain, only to be told that you were late． Orperhaps, because of work, you had to cancel plans with friends, despite looking forward to seeing them for ages． Forgotten keys, delayed flights, an argument with yourparents, illness or injury…all very frustrating, and understandably guaranteed to make you feel unhappy．Luckily, there are a few simple, scientifically proven ways to make the glass seem half﹣full again． To start with, things like trying out cycling or walking instead of driving to work and listening to music are great moodboosters（情绪助推器）． Volunteering and getting involved with a charity are two ways in which you can become happier through helping others． Last, but certainly not least, try hugging your way to happiness; it's been suggested that we humans need a minimum（最少的）of five hugs a day． If you've been having a bad day, there's nothing better than a good old bear﹣hug．（1）What would be the main idea of Paragraph 2？________A Happiness comes from different things．B Fresh flowers can give you a surprise．C Some people enjoy themselves at home．D It is pleasant to spend time with close friends．．（2）The underlined part "________" may refer to a day when________．A it is easy to be happyB you go to work on timeC you have a coffee athome D you tend to be sad at your life．（3）To tell us that people are easy to take happiness for granted， the writer________．A performs an experimentB provides some examplesC tells an interestingstory D brings up some problems．（4）Where does the passage come from？________A In a scientific report．B In an advertisement．C In a guidebook．D In a novel．二、七选五5.Amazing Benefits of Listening to MusicIf you love listening to music， you're good company．（1）_______．★Music makes you happier．When you listen to music， your brain releases a special matter． It biologically causes listeners to feel emotions like happiness， excitement and joy． So the next time you need an emotional increase， listen to your favorite tunes for 15 minutes．★（2）_______．Listening to music you enjoy decreases levels of the stress in your body． This is animportant finding since stress causes many illnesses and diseases． To stay calm and healthy during a stressful day， turn on the radio．★Music helps you sleep better．A study showed that students listening to classical music for 45 minutes slept better than students who did nothing． If you're having trouble sleeping， try listening to a little Bach or Mozart before bedtime．★（3）_______．Softening the lighting and music can lead people to consume fewer calories and enjoy their meals more． If you're looking for ways to reduce your appetite， try dimming the lights and listening to soft music the next time you sit down for a meal．★Music strengthens learning and memory．Researchers discovered that music can help you learn and remember information that you have forgotten better．（4）_______． Memorize these results． You now have a strategy to study more effectively for your next test．★Music raises IQ and school performance．Research shows that taking music lessons predicts higher school performance and IQ in young children．（5）_______．A．Music helps you eat less．B．Music lowers stress and improves health．C．Participants who were musicians learned better with light music．D．Musical training can help raise our IQs and even keep us sharp at old age．E．Here are amazing scientifically﹣proven benefits of being hooked on music．F．Recent research shows that listening to music improves our mental well﹣being．G．To help your children achieve academic excellence， encourage them to sing or learn to play an instrument．三、完形填空6.

The top words were “calculation” and “equation(等式)”. Instead, the mathematicians offered phrases like “critical thinking” and “problem-solving.” This is unfortunately common. What mathematicians think of is entirely different from what the general population thinks of. No wonder we hear “I hate math” so often.So I set about solving this problem unconventionally. I decided to offer a class called “The Mathematics of Knitting”. I removed pencil, paper, calculator and textbook from the classroom completely. Instead, we talked, used our hands, drew pictures and played with everything. And of course, we knit.One essential and difficult part of mathematical content is the equation, and crucial to this is the equal sign, which is very strict. An equation like x = 5 tells us the number 5 and the value of x must be exactly the same. Any small deviation(偏离) from “exactly” means two things are not equal. However, two quantities are always not exactly the same in life. Imagine that you have two square pillows. The first is red on top, yellow on the right, green on bottom and blue on the left. The second is yellow on the top, green on the right, blue on bottom, and red on the left. The pillows aren't exactly the same but certainly similar. In fact, they would be exactly the same if you turned the pillow with the red top once counterclockwise.Another topic is referred to as “rubber sheet geometry”. The idea is to imagine the whole world is made of rubber, then reimagine the shapes. Let’s try to understand it with knitting.For example, while being made, a hat is shaped by three needles, making it look triangular. Then, once it comes off the needles, it relaxes into a circle. In fact, all polygons(多边形) become circles in this field of study.The subjects above are typically reserved for math majors in college. If more mathematicians were able to set aside classical techniques, more people out there could embrace mathematical thought.4．Why did the author start “The Mathematics of Knitting”?A．To promote traditional handicraft.B．To cultivate the students’ capacity to solve problems.C．To remove the common misunderstanding about math.D．To enhance the students’ skills in the application of math.5．What is the relationship between the equation in math and that in life?A．Same and exact.B．Same but different.C．Equal and precise.D．Different but inseparable.6．How does the author present what mathematics really is?A．By clarifying reasons.B．By giving examples.C．By analyzing results.D．By describing procedures.7．Which of the following can be the best title for the text?A．Math: a novel skill of knittingB．Knitting: an unconventional courseC．Different Flavors of Math Revealed by KnittingD．The Calculation and Equation in Mathematical ContentOver the past few years, as architects and city planners have confronted the tragedy of our planet losing species at rates never seen in human history, many have started designing more greenery into urban areas, creating tidy plots of grass with non-native flowers. But European designers Hougaard and Qual find it problematic. These green spaces don’t actually encourage wildlife to grow. To counter that, the designers created outdoor furniture that would be beautiful to look at, but also allow bugs, birds, and wildflowers to thrive, nurturing biodiversity in cities and rewilding urban spaces.The natural world tends to appear messy, chaotic, with plants and animals interacting with each other. Bacteria, plants, and insects thrive in rotting logs. Birds and bees createhomes in dead, hollow tree trunks. Weeds and flowers grow in wild patches of grass. People perceive this as messy and dirty, trying to get rid of them in cities despite the fact that even though wildlife appears chaotic, there is often method in the madness.Qual had this in mind when creating a large, leaf-shaped insect hotel to be placed on a flower bed. The structure contains wooden blocks with different size of holes for different insect species. Hougaard created a metal log bench with an empty space in the middle to provide a habitat for creatures. He also created planting containers without a base, which are placed right on top of the soil and filled with different materials to provide a place for insects, reptiles, and small animals to hide and find food. They can also interact with earthworms and other creatures in the soil underneath, creating a thriving ecosystem.Will people actually want to be so close to bugs, snakes, and nesting birds? The designers acknowledge that modern humans have been trained to stay away from such creatures. But these structures keep animals contained, while allowing people to observe and appreciate them safely. And ultimately, humans need to become much more comfortable living alongside wildlife.8．What do Hougaard and Haul notice about creating tidy grass plots in urban areas?A．It encourages the growth of wildlife.B．It keeps a more balanced ecosystem.C．It doesn’t increase species diversity.D．It doesn’t damage the habitat of species.9．What does the author intend to do in Paragraph 2?A．To describe the peace of nature.B．To introduce the law of the jungle.C．To show the need for rewilding urban areas.D．To provide the basis for designing outdoor furniture.10．What does the underlined word “this” in Paragraph 3 refer to?A．The tragedy of losing species.B．The goal to keep cities organized.C．The plan to design more greenery.D．The concept of order and messiness.11．What can we infer about the author from the text?A．He is also a designer of insect hotels.B．He is against keeping animals caged.C．He is a strong advocate for a chaotic lifestyle.D．He is in support of Hougaard and Qual’s idea.A new type of weather condition has been observed, existing primarily in one particular part of the world: small, slow-moving, moisture-rich pools. Researchers are calling these atmospheric lakes.This unique type of storm occurs over the western Indian Ocean and moves towards Africa. Unlike most storms created by a vortex(漩涡), the lakes are produced by water vapor concentrations that are dense enough to produce rain. These atmospheric lakes are similar to atmospheric rivers, narrow bands of dense moisture(水分密集). However, the new type of meteorological phenomenon is smaller, slower moving, and separates itself from the atmospheric river that creates it. Existing as they do in an equatorial region where the wind speed is often very low, these atmospheric lakes are in no rush.Over the five years,17 atmospheric lakes lasting longer than six days were discovered, within 10 degrees of the equator. A team is now being put together to run a full study on the phenomenon. One of the questions the researchers will be looking at is why atmospheric lakes detach themselves from the river-lake patterns they form from. The climate change angle is an important one, because if increasing temperatures in any way affect the formation and movement of atmospheric lakes, that could impact the rainfall that reaches the east coast of Africa.According to Brian Mapes, an atmospheric scientist from the University of Miami, if all the water in a year’s worth of atmospheric lakes were to become liquid at once, it would create a puddle just a few centimeters deep but a kilometer (0.62 miles) wide. That’s a significant amount of precipitation(降水量). Professor Mapes believes this could be a solution for the dry regions of East Africa, where millions of people live and need rainfall to survive.It remains to be seen whether the concept of “atmospheric lake” can be widely accepted or not. However, it is obviously an effective way to explore nature to analyze various phenomena in the atmosphere and reveal their laws and possible impacts by using new sounding instruments and acquired data.12．What mainly contributes to the formation of an atmospheric lake?A．A gentle vortex.B．Large-scale moving winds.C．A violent ocean storm.D．Heavy water vapor concentrations. 13．What does the underlined word “detach” in Paragraph 3 mean?A．Separate.B．Defend.C．Recover.D．Prohibit. 14．What is probably the benefit of “atmospheric lakes”?A．Providing a solution to air pollution.B．Easing the drought in parts of Africa.C．Improving the quality of people’s life.D．Bringing abundant rainfall to southern Africa.15．Which word best describes the author’s attitude to the study of “atmospheric lakes”? A．Disapproving.B．Favorable.C．Ambiguous.D．Skeptical.二、七选五In the words of Tali Sharot, author of the book The Influential Mind:What the Brain Reveals About Our Power to Change Others, it is not difficult to influence others.____16____?Research suggests that people don’t always act to avoid negative consequences. In one study, participants viewed pictures and had to act (press a button) or not act (not press a button) when a certain one appeared. The correct response would earn them a reward or save them from a loss. Ultimately, participants performed better when they had to act to earn a reward and not act to avoid a loss.____17____? While negative emotions and images encourage inaction, research also suggests that positive ones tend to inspire people to act. So you might try talking about your fancy gym or a fun fitness activity to get your family members to exercise.When we’re communicating negative information, listeners will be particularly influenced when stressed.____18____if you’re a doctor trying to communicate disease risk to a stressed patient. People also have a tendency to ignore negative information, which can make them feel bad. ____19____ In that case, it might be better to wait until people are more relaxed or to frame things in a positive way.Another effective way to influence people is to give them control. If you’re a parent, you may have discovered that kids are much more receptive to your suggestions if you let them pick between healthy snacks or after-dinner chores. They’re anticipating a good result thatthey’ll get to select for themselves.____20____So influencing others isn’t that challenging.A．That might be of helpB．What should you do insteadC．Is this in line with common senseD．So communicating bad news may be trickyE．How does the brain respond to attempts at influenceF．Then would-be influencers have more and more access to usG．Giving away control, even a little or just the perception of it helps三、完形填空“What do you want to be when you grow up?” When I was a kid, I____21____the question. Adults always seemed terribly disappointed that I wasn't____22____becoming something grand or ____23____,like an astronaut.Now, as an organizational psychologist, my job is to fix other people's jobs, and I've come to____24____that asking youngsters that question does them____25____ My first complaint about the question is that it____26____kids to define themselves in terms of work.
