AUp late with The GreatsOne of the most significant collections of old master paintings ever assembled(收集)in Australia is opening at the Art Galleries．So you can experience masterpieces from the National Galleries of Scotland．Wednesday to Friday nights．5—28 March 2017To celebrate summer，we’re hosting Up late with The Greats，and we’re open until 10 pm，a series of late openings with free events on Wednesday，Thursday and Friday nights throughout March．We’ll be pouring the latest creation from boutique brewers(精品啤酒商)Young Henys—a limited edition beer inspired by The Greats．Free eventsWednesday nightsJoin us for a special edition of Art After Hours with comedian Hannah Gatsby，live music from Monsieur Camembert Quartet，guided tours and films．Thursday nightsThe Gallery’s entrance court transforms into a grand drawing salon for beginners and experienced artists alike．Be inspired by a tour of the drawings in The Greats then drop in and sketch away to the sounds of classical music．Friday nightsTake a musical journey through Europe as members of the Australian Brandenburg Orchestra perform classical musical recitals(小型音乐会)inspired by artworks in The Greats．What’s open?WednesdaysThe entire Gallery，including cafe and CHISWICK at the GalleryThursdays＆FridaysThe Greats exhibition plus all displays on ground level(except Asian gallery)and CHISWICK at the GalleryBookings recommended for dinner at CHIS WICK at the GalleryEach night，a free bus runs every 15 minutes from 7 p．m．until closing from the Gallery tosurrounding car parks and Martin Place21．What will Young Henrys provide for the events?A．Much beer to drink．B．Classical music recitals．C．Coffee and delicious food．D．Free bus service．22．For whom is the grand drawing salon on Thursday nights held?A．Experienced painters．B．Art lovers at different levels．C．Professional artists．D．Art students at college．23．What do we know about the Greats exhibition?A．The entire Gallery except cafe is open on Wednesdays．B．All displays of the Greats exhibition are on ground level．C．You may book in advance if you want to eat at CHISWICK．D．Free transport is provided all day between Martin Place and the Gallery．BSince 1985，Johnny Jennings，86，has been selling newspapers and magazines to a recycling center with his son to raise his savings account．By the time Jennings’only child was 17，he stopped joining his father，but the money they made covered the down payment for his first home years later．Even though his son is all grown up now，Jennings hasn’t slowed down his efforts．In fact，he’s turned his recycling money into something bigger．Jennings visits local churches and businesses to collect paper，which he brings to a recycling center for money．But instead of putting those earnings in his own bank account，he sends every dollar to Georgia Baptist Children’s Homes & Family Ministries．Once a year，he’11 give the organization a check somewhere between $10,000 and $35,000．By 2016，that reaches $400,000．Jennings devoted himself to helping Georgia Baptist Children’s Homes＆Family Ministries after his first visit there when he was 18．“When we went to leave，these three little boys grabbed me by the knees and said，‘Will you be my daddy?’”Jennings told TODAY．“And I said I'll do what I can．That took my heart，right there．”These days，Jennings’recycling has turned into a community effort．After he’s made his own rounds recycling paper from businesses and churches，he’11 find more items waiting forhim at home．Community members drop off other recyclables at his house so he can sell them，along with books，food，clothes，and other items to give away．Recycling centers typically pay just one-half to three cents per pound of paper，but Jennings’visits have added up big time．In 2016 alone，he sold more than 400，000 pounds of paper and 51，000 aluminum cans，and collected more than 32，000 pennies．Over the course of 32 years he’s recycled more than 9．8 million pounds of paper，saving all estimated 79，000 trees in the process．“He is the last of a dying breed(种类)，”wrote Jennings’friend in a Facebook post．“Our generation and the ones to follow could learn a lot from Mr．Jennings．”Jennings says he’ll continue raising money for charity as long as his health allows．“If you got it to give，give it away，”he told CNN．24．What is Georgia Baptist Children’s Homes & Family Ministries?A．An ordinary kindergarten． B．A center for children without fathers．C．A charity organization．D．A temporary shelter for lost children．25．What made Jennings decide to devote to helping Georgia Baptist Children’s Homes?

Has anyone ever found such a message? The answer to both questions is yes．A Greek teacher named Theophrastus put messages in bottles about 2,300 years ago．Hewanted to prove that the Mediterranean Sea was formed by water coming in from the Atlantic．The bottles floated from the Atlantic into the Mediterranean and proved him right．During the rule of Elizabeth I of England(1558—1603)，spies sent messages back to England in bottles．Because of this，the queen’s assistant opened every floating bottle found．Anyone else was forbidden to open such a bottle．In the late 1700s，Ben Franklin used bottles to show where the main ocean currents in the Atlantic are．His findings，and the charts he drew，were correct．They were so accurate，in fact，that they are still followed today．In 1929 German scientists sent a bottle floating in the South Indian Ocean．The message asked the finder to record the date and place of the Finding．It asked that the note and boric be set afloat again．The bottle first landed at Cape Horn at the tip of South America．In 1935 it was picked up the second time，off the coast of Australia．The bottle had traveled more than 16,000 miles，possibly the farthest trip by a bottle．The longest trip in terms of time took 150 years．A Japanese sailor sent a bottle floating in 1784 when his ship was wrecked on a Pacific Ocean reef．In 1943 it was picked up—in the Japanese village where he had been born．Thousands of bottles are out on the waters today．The United States still uses bottles and other floating objects to study ocean currents．The United States Fish and Wildlife Service used them to study fishing grounds．Keep your eyes open．You just might find one．28．Which of these events happened first?A．Theophrastus proved how the Mediterranean was formed．B．Ben Franklin showed where Atlantic currents are．C．Spies sent messages to England in bottles．D．The Japanese sailor’s bottle was found．29．What do we know about the bottle sent by the German scientists?A．It was received by the U.S Fish and Wildlife Service．B．It was opened by one of the Queen’s assistants．C．It floated directly to the sender’s birthplace．D．It was picked up twice during the long trip．30．It can be inferred from the passage that_________．A．the bottle sent by German scientists floated past Cape Horn without being seenB．a Greek teacher helped show main ocean currents in the Atlantic OceanC．the Japanese sailor never saw his bottle again after he sent it floatingD．the message from the Japanese sailor was found by an Australian31．What can be the best title of the passage?A．Floating Bottles B．Study of the OceansC．The History of Bottles D．Scientists and BottlesDWhen you’re out with a friend and take a photo of yourselves，do you know that you are also creating a work of art? Or that you are competing with Vincent van Gogh himself? Probably not．Your idea might be to show off your selfie(自拍)on WeChat or QQ，but you probably don’t think of the internet as a gallery or of yourself as an artist．But the manager of London’s Saatchi Gallery，Nigel Hurst，thinks that the casual pictures we take of ourselves do have something in common with self-portraits by the great masters．In support of the idea，the Saatchi Gallery has a new exhibition called From Selfie to Self-Expression，which is running now until May 30．It features well-known self-portraits from artists including those drawn by Dutch painters Van Gogh and Rembrandt．It also has selfies on show，which include one taken by US celebrity Kim Kardashian and another of former US President Barack Obama with former UK Prime Minister David Cameron，according to the BBC．The gallery is even encouraging visitors to add their own selfies to the show．Hurst is perhaps not being 1 00 percent serious．He isn’t claiming that a snap you take of yourself in your favorite restaurant can be compared with a self-image painted by Van Gogh．But he does make a serious point．Once upon a time，it was only artists who could make images of themselves．They were the only ones，as Hurst told The Guardian，who“had the skills，materials and tools to create self-portraits．”Today，however，we“all have that ability through our smartphones．”And Hurst described the smartphone selfie as an example of“a transform in society using technology as a means of self-expression”．He told The Guardian：“The selfie generation is becoming the self-expression generation as each of us seeks to explore and share our inner creativity through the one artistic tool to which we all have access，the smartphone．”32．What is the new exhibition intended to express?A．A celebrity’s selfie is more likely to become a masterpiece．B．Selfies are a better way to express oneself than self-portraits．C．Smartphones have changed the way people understand the world．D．Selfies have something in common with great artists’self-portraits．33．What does the underlined word“those”in Paragraph 3 refer to?A．Self-portraits．B．Selfies．C．Artists．D．Visitors．34．Which of the following would Nigel Hurst agree with?A．Selfies help us master the skills used by earlier artists．B．Every snap you take of yourself can have artistic value．C．Self-portraits of great masters have lost their attraction．D．Selfies offer people a chance to explore their creativity．35．What is the writer’s purpose in writing this article?A．To remind readers of works from some famous artists．B．To explain the reason for people enjoying taking selfies．C．To introduce a new exhibition of selfies and self-portraits．D．To make a comparison between selfies and self-portraits．第二节(共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分)（注意：如果选E涂AB;选F涂AC;选G 涂AD）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

(1)Text 2M: How long have you been working at the grocery store? W: Eleven months, but it seems like a day!(2) It doesn’t even feel like work, because I enjoy it so much. I hope to stay for all four years of high school.Text 3W: I’d like a desk for my room, Dad. (3) I need somewhere to put my books. Right now, they are all over my bed, and I always lose pens and papers.M: Well, that sounds like a good reason. We can get one this weekend.Text 4W: Dinner is going to be ready in fifteen minutes. Are you on your way home?M: Yes, I am. I mean, I will be. I’m just finishing up one last report for my boss.(4)I won’t be late this time, I promise. Text 5W: How are you coming along with your research paper?M: I’ve finished all my research, but I haven’t been able to organize it, (5) so I haven’t begun writing the paper yet. Text 6M: It’s been ages since I’ve seen you. How’s it going, Judy? W: Great. My new bakery is doing well. (6) How are you, Gary? You look busy.M: Yeah, ever since school got out, we’ve been fully booked. W: That’s strange. Why would people need car repairs? Just because the school year is finished?M: I think it’s because everyone’s going on vacation.W: Oh. You think they want their cars ready for long road trips? M: It makes sense, doesn’t it? And they’re willing to pay for repairs now.W: Maybe it’s because everyone has more free time now. (7) Text 7M: Hello, I heard from my friend that you carry hard-to-find books. He strongly recommended your bookstore for these books. Do you carry a copy of Secret signed by the author?(8)W: Yes, I know the title, but only one is available now, and it’s not signed. If you need it soon, I recommend buying that.Otherwise, I can search online to find a signed copy. It could take some time, though, and of course, it will cost more.M: I understand that, but what really matters is the signature.I’m giving my father the book as a gift. He was a fan of the author’s. (9)W: I see. If you give me your p hone number, I’ll inform you whenI find something.Text 8 (第10题为总结题)W: I heard there is a storm coming tonight.

I hope no one will get hurt. (11)M: I’m sure it’ll be all right, dear. (12)But we should get ready for it. Let’s go to the grocery store and get some basic food. We should also make sure all the windows in the house and the car are shut tight.W: But what about our garden, and the flowers I planted?They could get blown down. Oh, dear, I’ve worked so hard to grow them. (11)M: Well, we could cover them with something to protect them.Everything will be okay. Let’s go get ready!Text 9W: Good morning, John.M: Hello, Professor Williams. How are you today?W: Excellent. You may have heard that our department received a large research award (13)M: Yes.

Well, I am already working twenty hours a week in Professor Ramos’ lab. But I only make ten dollars an hour there. It is possible that I could reduce my hours for him.(16) If I could work ten hours for each of you, that would bebest.W: Very good. Please talk to Professor Ramos about this as soon as possible.Text 10Have you heard of Jane Goodall? She is a famous scientist who lived with and studied chimpanzees for many years. A chimpanzee is an intelligent African animal that is like a large monkey without a tail. When Jane was young, her father gave her a toy chimpanzee. And she became interested in these animals. (17)In 1957, her love for animals led her to call Dr. Louis Leakey, a famous scientist, who offered her a job as an assistant. Even though she had no college degree, he asked her to become a researcher. She lived with the chimpanzees for over thirty years and wrote down what they did. She published her research. Some people criticized her research. They said she should have given the chimpanzees numbers instead of names.(18) After she left the jungle, she became interested in saving the environment.(19)She opened the Jane GoodallInstitute in 1977 to educate people about the environment. She has written many books and still travels around the world, helping children understand the natural world. In 2002, she opened a Jane Goodall Institute in Hong Kong, China.

AMy dad was in the Air Force. When I was a kid, we moved every few years. That meant a lot of good-byes. It also meant getting used to a whole new community and a whole new school each time we moved. I can still feel what it was like to have to walk into the new school—that sinking feeling in my belly, that heaviness in my throat. It would always take time for me to learn how everything worked, what was cool and what was not. It was always a struggle to find where I could fit in.Already shy, I did n’t have much self-confidence in my friend-making abilities. I was the girl walking in the halls with her head down, panicking. When I spoke, you could hardly hear my soft voice. I was nervous and doubted myself a lot.It was very hard not having a history with everyone else. I was an outsider. But what I did have was soccer. Wherever I went, I knew that I could fit in with the soccer ball. The soccer team meant a familiar place and immediate friends for me. I could express myself and feel good about myself on the field. Playing hard helped to get rid of all my nervousness.Throughout our lives, our self-respect goes down when we feel like a failure, and it goes up when we feel successful. Doing something well, being praised, and feeling loved goes a long way. We all need to explore opportunities where we can be good at something and feel good about ourselves. Physical activity and sport participation is a terrific way to build up our sense of self-confidence and self-worth.21.How did the author feel about moving to a new school?A.Delighted.B. Stressed.C.

He heard that Hollygrove Home needed a library, but all they had was an empty space and lots of kids without books.The next day, when Brandon’s teacher a sked the students to come up with ideas for a community service project, Brandon remembered what he had heard. An idea occurred to him at once. What about all the books he had read? He had many that he was too old for, and knew his friends had some, too. What if they gave them to the Hollygrove Home to create a library? Brandon started a project to collect books, and soon he had 847 books. The big empty room at Hollygrove was filled, and every child had a book to take to bed at night.When Brandon entered 7th grade, he, as well as his friends, began another book project. In one week, the school collected 5,000 books. The Hollygrove library couldn’t handle them all. A local public school, Limerick Elementary, became the next new library created by Brandon and his friends. The headmaster realized that Brandon’s idea was simple and effective. She began sharing it throughout the schools in Los Angeles.Brandon was surprised when, one day, a photographer from the Los Angeles Times called him out of class. They wrote about him in the newspaper, which led to some local community service awards. Then he was invited to appear on the very popular TV program Oprah. Brandon said, “After appearing on Oprah, many people knew about us and we were able to set up a non-profit organization called BookEnds.”By 2001, the 60,000 volunteers had collected around 150,000 books for BookEnds. They had completed 46 libraries, with 32 more under development, helping more than 40,000 children who didn’t have books before.Brandon feels e specially good that BookEnds is growing. “There are 60,000 people involved and I’m just one of them. It’s great to know you’ve made a difference and that things are going to change because of what you’ve done.”24.

A new study in the UK found that women are more likely to notice something than men when determining another person’s feelings based only on their eyes and eyebrows.In the study, the researchers surveyed a total of 2,000 men and women in the UK. They were shown pairs of eyes and eyebrows and asked to choose the correct term that describes which emotion (情绪) that person is expressing. In general, women were found to be slightly better at reading other people. Two thirds of women in the survey correctly recognized five or more emotions. Only 56 percent of men were able to do this.The researchers also found that women were more confident in their ability to read emotions. Half of them reported that they were either “slightly better” or “much better” at doing so than their friends and family, while only 44 percent of men said the same. The survey also showed that men and women differ in their abilities to notice particular emotions.Women were more likely to recognize “vulnerable emotions,” including someone being shocked or scared. More than three quarters of them were able to do so, but only 60 percent of men could tell that someone was scared. When it comes to recognizing a “guilty” look, women beat men by five percent.In the survey, men were found to be better at recognizing emotions related to desire and anger. Roughly 58 percent of men could correctly discover someone was interested in something from what they saw, and 41.9 percent could recognize desire.The researchers say the ability improves with age — until you reach 65. The best scores were seen in people aged 55-64 and 45-54. People aged 65 and over were best at determining when a person is “guilty.” On average, people scored 4.9/10 on the test. The researchers say this suggests that most people can’t recognize other people’s moods as much as they think they might.32. What did the researchers find in the study?A. Men were better at noticing guilty looks.B. Men did better than women in recognizing anger and desire.C. Women could recognize people’s emotions from their eyes and words.D.
