He would always encourage us to realize our potential(潛力).My first painting was simply a bee sitting on a sunflower, I made every effor, but still found i

13、t hard to feel satisfied with it. I knew it was not 22 and could hardly get a good grade. But I showed it to Mr.Grady. He didnt 23 it in a rush. Instead, he gave me advice which only motivated me to work harder on it. For the first time I was happy with the 24 of my painting rather than disappointed

14、 about its imperfection. I finished all the other projects with higher grades, but I hung the first painting in my room at the end of the term.My parents thought 25 me to be number one would motivate me.

20、tos at an important event, beware-you could end up forgetting it all in a flash. Experts have warned that the addiction to recording every moment of our lives could be having an adverse effect on our memories. Maryanne Garry, a New Zealand psychology professor, has been studying how the frequent tak

21、ing of photos might change childhood memories. “I think the problem is that people are forgetting to experience the moment,” she says. Parents at the park taking one photo after another of their children, for example, are actually paying less attention to what is happening around them. The picture o

22、nly captures a small party of the total experience. And because parents remember less about these important events, they become less effective in their role as the key people who help children learn how to talk about their experiences. As a result, childrens own childhood memories are reduced. The i

23、dea that we are experiencing less as we record more got psychologist Linda Henkel thinking. She wanted to explore how photographs shape our memories. Henkel, who researches human memory at Fairfield University in Connecticut, did an experiment by sending groups of students to the universitys art mus

24、eum. The students observed some objects and photographed others. Then, back at the laboratory, they were given a memory test. Henkel found what she called a “photo-taking effect”. The students remembered fewer of the objects that they had taken photos of, and they remembered fewer details about thos

25、e objects. She says her students memories were worse because they were relying on the camera to remember the details for them.“As soon as you hit click on that camera, its as if youve outsourced your memory,” she says.( ) 26. The underlined word “it” in Paragraph 1 refers to _. A. an important event

26、 B. a childs birthday C. A valuable photograph D. A family holiday( ) 27. According to Garry, what will be the result of parents frequently taking photos of their children? A. Parents will be very skillful at taking photos. B. Children will enjoy many more beautiful pictures. C. Parents will appreci

27、ate these important moments less. D. Children will become more important in their parents eyes.( ) 28. According to Paragraph 3, why are childrens memories reduced? A. Flash lights are causing children to forget more things. B. Parents are not interested in listening to childrens experiences. C. Chi

28、ldren are more interested in taking photos than experiencing. D. Parents are less effective in helping children discuss their experiences.( ) 29. How did Henkel develop her theory about the “photo-taking effect”? A. By carrying out an experiment B. By giving a questionnaire C. By interviewing a grou

29、p of students D. By researching the findings of the others( ) 30. Whats the purpose of this passage? A. To introduce a new discovery in taking photos. B. To discuss the effect of photo-taking on memory. C. To explain how to use cameras in an effective way. D. To describe the ways of remembering valu

30、able experiences. ( B )“Mona Lisa” attracts art lovers around the world. Do you know Lenardo da Vinci also painted an “Earlier Mona Lisa” before? It will be exhibited in Shanghai next year. Joel Feldman, the general secretary of the Mona Lisa Foundation, accepted an interview about the painting and

31、the organization recently. Q: How was the “Earlier Mona Lisa” discovered?A: In 1913, Hugh Blaker, a manager of the Holburne Museum in England, found the “Earlier Mona Lisa” and brought it to his museum. A year later, the painting was sent to the US for publisher, bought the painting and ke

32、pt it in the Bank of Swizerland.Since the Mona Lisa Foundation was established in 2008, we have done lots of necessary research on the “Earlier Mona Lisa” and many high technologies were used. In the end, 28 out of the 29 experts believe this is certainly the painting created by Lenardo da vinci.Q:

33、Do you remember the feeling when you first saw the “Mona Lisa” painting and this “Earlier Mona Lisa” painting?A: I first saw the “Mona Lisa” in the Louvre as a young boy. Quite honestly I was disappointed as the painting looked quite small and dark. When I first saw the “Earlier Mona Lisa”, I was ab

34、solutely stunned. Believe me, there is really something amazing that occurs when you are in the presence of this painting.Q: Why did you choose Shanghai for this exhibition?A: First, Shanghai is one of world art centers.

35、. Therefore, we decided to begin its Asian tour and Shanghai obviously would be the first stop.Q: Could you tell me more details about the security for the painting?A: I cant tell you a lot.

36、sit the painting a day. But visitors will be able to come quite close to the painting.( ) 31. _ was the first owner of the “Earlier Mona Lisa” in the passage.A. The Mona Lisa Foundation      B. The Holburne Museum  C. The Boston Museum of Fine Art  D . The Ban

37、k of Switzerland( ) 32.What was the main purpose of the research?A. To learn the history of Leonardo da Vinci.B. To know the value of the “Earlier Mona Lisa”.C. To find out who painted the “Earlier Mona Lisa”D. To test different high technologies.( ) 33. The underlined word “stunned” is the clo

38、sest in meaning to “_”.A. surprised    B frightened    C. bored   D. worried( ) 34. Which city will the  “Earlier Mona Lisa” most probably travel to after Shanghai?A. Los Angeles  B. London     C. Paris

40、ting( C )The need to feed a growing population is putting much pressure on the world's supply of water. With 97% of the world's water too salty to be drunk or used in agriculture, the worldwide supply of waterneeds careful management, especially in agriculture. Although the idea of a wa

41、ter shortage seems strange to someone lucky enough to live in a high rainfall country, many of the world's agricultural industries experience constant water shortages.      Although dams can be built to store water for agricultural use in dry areas and dry seasons,

42、the costs of water redistribution(重新分配)are very high. Not only is there the cost of the engineering itself, butthere is also an environmental cost to be considered. Where valleys are flooded to create dams, houses are lost and wildlife homes destroyed. Besides, water may flow easily throug

43、h pipes to fields, but it cannot be transported from one side of the world to the other. Each country must therefore depend on the management of its own water to supply its farming requirements.      This is particularly troubling for countries with agricultural industries i

44、n areas dependent on irrigation (灌溉). In Texas, farmers overuse of irrigation water has resulted in a 25% reduction of the water stores. In the Central Valley area of southwestern USA, a huge water engineering project provided water for farming in dry valleys, but much of the water use has been

45、 poorly managed.      Saudi Arabia's attempts to grow wheat in desert areas have seen the pumping of huge quantities of irrigation water from underground reserves. Because there is no rainfall in these areas, such reserves canonly decrease, and it is believed that f

46、ifty years of pumping will see them run dry. ( ) 36.From the first paragraphs we learn that .A. much of the worlds water can be usedB. people in high rainfall countries feel luckyC. the costs of water redistribution should be consideredD. water can be easily carried through pipes across the world( )

47、 37.Why should each country depend on the management of its own water to supply its farming requirements?A. The high costs of water redistribution.B. Many countries dont have enough water.C. Water cannot be transported from one side of the world to the other.D. All the above three choices are correc

48、t.( ) 38. Which of the following is TRUE?A. The water stores in Texas have been reduced by 75%.B. Most industries in the world suffer from water shortages.C. The underground water in Saudi Arabia might run out in 50 years if people keep pumping it.D. Good management of water use resulted from the pr

49、oject in the Central Valley.( ) 39.What is most likely to be discussed in the paragraph that follows?A. Steps to improving water use management.B. Ways to reduce the costs of building dams.C. Measures to deal with worldwide water shortages.D. Ways to handling the pressure on water supply.( ) 40.The
