15、sement for a gym.BA parenting guide.CAn introduction to a sport.DA workout schedule.Salvador Dali is one of the most influential and famous painters of all time. Not just a painter, but his personality was as unique as his paintings. His surrealistic paintings are so famous that they overshadow his
16、other artworks. Hearing the name “Salvador Dali” alone creates an image, or perhaps I should say, a painting in the minds of people. His paintings are usually surrealistic and hard to understand, but once understood, they convey their message so fluently and beautifully. During his creative explorat
17、ion, Dali went deep into various artistic styles, such as impressionism, cloisonne (分格画), and cubism (立体画), before eventually venturing into surrealism. It was in this period that he created one of his famous paintings, Sick BoyPointillism (点彩派). Pointillism is the method of painting using only smal
18、l dots of color to create the painting. Sick Boy is a clear mixture of expressionism and pointillism, but theres more going on here. Dali has added a little bit of surrealism as well. This is a self-portrait of him in Cadaqus, the coastal town where he used to spend his summers. While the sickness o
19、f the child can be seen from his lying position, exhausted and weak, and looking at the viewers eyes, the actual sickness is far more terrifying. Take a look at his hand with long, pointed fingers. His face presents a disturbing and threatening expression. It is hardly human. It almost feels like th
20、ere is another creature inside the body of this kid, using the skin and face as a cover. The parallel can be drawn from the other living thing in the painting, the caged canary (金丝雀). Similar to the canary, which is imprisoned inside this cage to stay, the boys true self is imprisoned inside the bod
21、y. There might be some dark and sick intentions inside his mind, but those must be controlled. The way the sick child lies onthe chair and stares ahead makes it one of the frightening paintings by Salvador Dali.24What are the main features of Salvador Dalis paintings?AHope and optimism.BFluency and
22、harmony.CBeauty and simplicity.DComplexity and confusion.25What is the subject of Sick Boy?AA portrait Dali painted for himself.BThe painters favorite coastal town.CA canary imprisoned inside the cage.DThe exploration of various artistic styles.26What is the significance of the caged canary in the p
23、ainting?AIt represents the boys sickness.BIt conveys the beauty of nature.CIt symbolizes the boys trapped true self.DIt shows the sick boys love for animals.27Which words can best describe Salvador Dali?AEnergetic and realistic.BNegative and stubborn.CStrange and threatening.DUnconventional and crea
24、tive.In Iceland, these green houses melt into the natural landscape, a technique that first appeared with the arrival of British settlers during the 9th through 11th centuries. Unlike their previous warm and wet climate, wood was rare and slow to regenerate. Turf (草皮) became their first pick to make
25、 shelters.Across Europe, turf bricks widely available were cut from local bogs (沼泽) and transported for use at higher lands. The turf was then laid over a wooden structure to form walls and a thick roof to keep cold out from tough northern climates. Turf walls were replaced as frequently as every 20
26、 years, and even up to 70 years.It is difficult to find out its precise origins in the archaeological record. However, evidence of similar constructions can be found in many countries throughout the ages. Historic records suggest that up to 50 percent of Icelandic houses were partly comprised of tur
27、f until the late 19th century. As populations began to gather in cities like Reykjavik, wood buildings replaced stones and earth architecture. After fires burned up the city in 1915, concrete became the material of choice. In 1918 Iceland gained independence from Denmark, setting in motion a wave of
28、 nationalism that threatened the survival of turf houses. Advocates of modernization argued that Reykjavik paled in comparison to the grand architecture that graced the skylines of Paris, Berlin, and London. Traditional techniques were criticized as “rotten Danish wood” from a troubled era, and ther
29、e was a campaign to clear them in favor of modern buildings a move later criticized by many as destruction of cultural heritage.A tourism boom in the latter half of the 20th century encouraged Iceland to reexamine the value of traditional architecture. Do Icelanders still live in turf houses? The qu
30、ickest way to answer this question would be no. You might still see an occasional grass roof but that has everything to do with architecture and Icelanders wanting to hold on to their beloved heritage rather than any need for turf as insulation (隔热) material.28Why did people use turf to build houses
31、 in the past?AIt matched nature perfectly.BIt could be changed often.CIt was long-lasting and accessible.DIt was a request by settlers.29What was a direct result of the wave of nationalism?APeople packed into Reykjavik.BTraditional architecture was in favor.CTurf houses were almost unable to exist.D
32、Concrete became a new building material.30What can we infer about the turf house from the last paragraph?AIt starts coming to life.BIt will live on.CIts material will improve.DIt is out of date.31Which of the following is a suitable title for the text?AIcelands turf stretches brightly across EuropeB
33、Icelands turf An important building materialCIcelands turf houses An exceptional exampleDIcelands turf houses survive beautifully with natureYouve heard an old Chinese saying before: Give a man a fish and you feed him for a day; teach a man to fish and you feed him for a lifetime. You may even be no
34、dding your head in agreement right now. However, we can have a different understanding about it. When a person is starving, thats not the time to fill their head with knowledge but to first give the person a fish eradicating their hunger and only then teach them to fish. Far too often, people ignore
35、 this common sense first step. They see someone who is struggling, and they rush to offer wisdom. “Let me tell you what Id do in your position,” a well-meaning individual might offer. But few of us understand the anxiety, confusion and uncertainty that come with overwhelming need. People meeting wit
36、h personal disasters dont have the ability to think straight. Their nerves may be shot. Their confidence may be non-existent. Can you imagine what it would be like to be in that persons situation? Rushing to offer a struggling person long-term advice is a waste of time. Instead, it makes far more se
37、nse to help them regain their emotional balance. Once their ears, heart and mind open, youll have an opportunity to teach a new skill. But how do we know whether a person needs a fish before a fishing lesson? Two things: One is the ability to pay attention. We need to know whether the other person i
38、s open and receptive, or looking at the world through narrowed eyes? You cant just take their words but have to look at how the person acts and what they dont say. The other is empathy (共情). The more successful you are, the harder it is to imagine what it must be like to be the opposite. Try to crea
39、te a safe environment for emotional acceptance before the fishing lesson.32What is the function of the first paragraph?ATo illustrate a concept.BTo put up an example.CTo bring in a new viewpoint.DTo introduce the background.33What does the underlined word “eradicating” mean in Paragraph 2?AGetting r

It invites kids to make connections to the broader worl
42、d by asking, “Where does our food come from?” and “What is the history of this recipe?” And it allows them to apply what they are learning in school in a new context. Cooking brings science concepts to life. 37 It also tests the math skills of young chefs. Measuring ingredients are frequent tasks in
43、 cooking or baking. 38 When Helen, 11, took her cake out of the oven, she was disappointed to find that it was flat as a board. I told her about how, as a preteen, I accidentally made cookies with garlic powder instead of powdered ginger. Then we worked together to figure out what had gone wrong wit
44、h her cake. 39 It encourages kids to work with others. It also encourages them to be open to foods they otherwise might not have tried. Jad, 11, had never eaten quinoa (藜麦) before testing a recipe for quinoa with herbs. His parents reported that he was so excited about this new ingredient that he co
45、oked it for his family the next night. Of course, the best part of cooking with kids isnt just above. 40 This year, Olive and I have already done a lot of holiday baking, including our favorite chocolate-chip cookies. We both felt excited despite the mess that accompanied that experience.AThe truth
46、is that its much more than that.BIts the memories you make together in the kitchen.CBeyond the practical skills, cooking builds character.DIt is a valuable life skill that teaches children about patience.ECooking encourages your childs interest and excitement in healthy foods.FIt is a perfect opport
47、unity for them to learn that oil and water dont usually mix.GRecipe failures matter as much as the successes, as they help kids develop resilience (韧性) .三、完形填空I received a call telling me that my brother and his wife had been killed in a car crash. Shocked and grieved, I 41 down on the couch. Several friends phoned me, 42 kindly, “If theres anything I can do, let me know.” “Thank you very much.” Id reply. But I didnt know what to 43 .
