17、 day in high school when the teacher asked her to write about her family history.

18、ars of their background. And there was me and one other black kid in the class who could go back to a plantation in Virginia and thats it.” She talked about her familys history. “My people were brought here at the bottom of a ship. And they were sold and they were re-named. My dads side of the famil
19、y took the last name from the job that they had, which is Butler. My moms side of the family took the last name from the plantation that owned them.”Today, she and her husband, artist James Terrell, explore that identity in their work. Their new exhibit of paintings is called “Born at the Bottom of
20、the Ship.” The show recently opened at the Center for the Arts in Manassas, Virginia.Over the generations, Africans became African Americans with a new culture, and Nzinga Terrell includes different parts of that story in her art. There are things that look like African cloth and design and things t
21、hat make you think of American culture and clothing. James Terrells style is more abstract. Mami Wata, the first painting visitors see in the new exhibit, shows a woman rising from the ocean. Terrell explains the painting, “Mami Wata is a goddess of the sea. Theres no light going through; theres not
22、 a lot of color being seen, as opposed to the other ones. So, its just showing the time of the slaves being brought to America.” But the artist says he also likes to play with color. Growing up, Terrell attended a church with colored glass in many windows. Because of that experience, he learned how
23、light goes through the windows. He makes lines in his painting that look like the lines between pieces of colored glass in the church windows. Terrells works show how he sees himself as an African American. Visitors to the art exhibit say they see themselves and their family members in the works.8.Y

27、ht arm just below his elbow in an accident. Jason got a prosthetic (假体的) arm. But this arm could only do a few things. Jason still wanted to play music. So he went to see Gil Weinberg, who makes musical robots. To play the piano, Jason needed five fingers that could move just the way he wanted. This
28、 was a big challenge.Living arms move when muscles respond to commands from the brain. When you think “open fingers”, your brain sends electrical signals along nerves. Some prosthetic arms use sensors (传感器) to try to read these nerve signals. But they dont work very well. Nerves are tiny, and their
29、signals are faint. Sensors might be able to tell that you want to move a finger. But they arent very good at telling which finger you want to move.Jason doesnt have his hand anymore, but he still has the arm muscles that move his fingers. When Jason thinks about moving his fingers, those muscles sti
30、ll move. To read the muscles inside Jasons arm, the team used ultrasound (超声波). The roboticists taught a computer to read the ultrasound sensor as Jason thought about moving his fingers. The computer learned which muscles moved when Jason wanted his fingers to move in a certain way. Thinking about m
31、oving his fingers makes the muscles in his upper arm move. The computer sees the moving muscles and tells the motors in Jasons robotic fingers to move the right way.The team hopes the “Skywalker hand”, their prosthesis, will someday work as well as a real hand. The sensors, motors, and computers ins

Soon, they hope that anyone who loses a hand will be able to get a new robotic one with five fingers that they can move just by thinking

34、Moving muscles are simpler to spot than nerves.B.Nerve searching techniques have developed fast.C.Ultrasound sensors vary from finger to finger.D.Motors are much quicker to operate.15.What do Weinberg and his team expect of the “Skywalker hand”?A.Itll be easy to make.B.Itll be customer-friendly.C.It

60、exhibit items are open to the public for free,only charging for major temporary(临时的) exhibitions.(大部分展品都是免费向公众开放的,只对大型临时展览会收费。)可知,英国伦敦Tate Modern美术馆之所以吸引人,部分原因在于它的大部分展览都是免费的。故选B。2.C细节理解题。根据第二段第一句It is the worlds largest and most visited art museum and a historical landmark of Paris.(它是世界上最大、参观人数最多的艺
61、术博物馆,也是巴黎的历史性地标。)可知the Louvre是世界上参观人数最多的艺术博物馆。故选C。3.C细节理解题。根据第三段中的Covering a time span from the Yuanmou Man of 1.7 million years ago to the Qing Dynasty, the museum houses around 1.05 million itemsmany cannot be found in museums elsewhere.(从170万年前的元谋人到清朝,中国国家博物馆收藏了约105万件文物许多在其他地方的博物馆都找不到的。)可知Nationa

63、l for the first time.”以及第三段中“ I was thrilled at a bookit was Hemingways The Sun Also Risesand I just needed to be alone with it for a little while.” 可知,作者8岁的时候第一次逃学,是因为她被海明威的太阳照常升起这本书迷住了。故选C项。5.D细节理解题。根据第四段中“I had accidentally come across the key to perfect happiness: I had become completely absorbe
64、d in something I loved.”可知,作者认为真正快乐的源泉是沉浸于自己所爱的东西中。故选D项。6.A词义猜测题。根据上文“I can see that some subtle things were happening to my mind and to my life while I was in that state of absorption(当我处于全神贯注的状态时,我可以看到一些微妙的事情出现在我的头脑和我的生活中)”以及下文“I was downloading information.I was hot on the trail of my own fate.(我
65、下载的信息是关于如何写出简单优雅的句子和良好而坚实的情节。换句话说,我在学习如何写作。不知不觉中,我已经踏上了自己命运的道路。)”可以推断出海明威的语言风格在潜移默化之中影响了作者对语言的感悟。由此可知,海明威的语言风格进入了作者的思维中,影响了作者。因此,画线词意为“进入”。A.Entering进入;B.Destroying破坏;C.Mending修补;D.Blocking阻塞。故选A项。7.D推理判断题。根据第四段中“I had accidentally come across the key to perfect happiness: I had become completely ab
66、sorbed in something I loved.”以及第五段中的“In other words, I was learning how to write.”可推断,作者童年的梦想是成为一名作家。A项“作者厌倦了她在现实生活中的角色”以及B项“写作对作者现在的生活有可怕的影响”均与文意不符。C项“作者8岁时经常逃学”,根据文章第一句话“I turned 8 years old the day I skipped school for the first time.”可知作者8岁时第一次逃学,因此C项与文意不符。故选D项。【高频词汇】1.skip v.不参加;跳过,略过2.glorious
67、 adj.令人愉快的;光荣的3.a bunch of一群4.absorption n.全神贯注5.elegant adj.优美的6.be tired of 厌倦C语篇解读本文介绍了美国黑人女艺术家Zsudayka Nzinga Terrell以及她的艺术作品和艺术风格。文章也介绍了她的丈夫,同时也是一位黑人艺术家James Terrell的相关情况。8.D细节理解题。通过第二段中的“And there was me and one other black kid in the class who could go back to a plantation in Virginia and tha

69、, as opposed to the other ones. So, its just showing the time of the slaves being brought to America.”可知,该艺术作品和James Terrell的其他作品相反,没有多少光和丰富的色彩。这样,该作品恰恰反映了黑奴被带到美国时的情景。A项“这是典型的美国本土风格”、C项“它是抽象的,色彩丰富明亮”以及D项“它描述了James曾经去过的一个教堂”均与文意不符。故选B项。11.D推理判断题。根据倒数第一段第二句“Visitors to the art exhibit say they see the
70、mselves and their family members in the works.”可知,来看艺术展的人说,他们在作品中看到了自己和他们的家庭成员的影子,故他们的心情应不是奇怪、好奇或沮丧,而是感动的。故选D项。【高频词汇】1.explore v.探索;考察2.identity n.身份;本身;特征;同一性3.abstract adj.抽象的4.go through 通过;经受5.date back to. 追溯到长难句分析原句There are things that look like African cloth and design and things that make y
71、ou think of American culture and clothing.分析本句是主从复合句。两个that分别引导定语从句,修饰先行词things。句意有些东西看起来像非洲的布料和设计,有些东西让你想到美国文化和服装。D语篇解读本文是一篇说明文。Gil Weinberg团队为音乐家Jason Barnes制作的假臂可以让他重新开始演奏音乐。12.D推理判断题。根据第一段的内容可知,Jason在失去右臂后仍然想演奏音乐,而之前的假臂达不到他的要求,所以他去找Weinberg换个假臂。故选D项。13.B词义猜测题。根据画线词前的“Some prosthetic arms use sen
72、sors (传感器) to try to read these nerve signals. But they dont work very well. Nerves are tiny”可知,假臂通过传感器来试图读取神经信号,但是由于神经极小、信号微弱,所以它们运行得不太好。A项“具体的”、 C项“稳定的” 以及D项“可预测的”均与文意不符。B项意为“微弱的”。 故选B项。14.A细节理解题。根据第三段中的“To read the muscles inside Jasons arm, the team.tells the motors in Jasons robotic fingers to
73、move the right way.”并结合上一段文意可知,Weinberg团队通过超声波来读取Jason胳膊中肌肉的活动,当他的肌肉活动时,电脑可以了解到Jason想让他的手指如何活动,这样即可控制假臂的手指。由此可以判断,“运动的肌肉比神经更容易识别”这一点使机械手的发明成为可能。B项“神经搜索技术发展迅速”、C项“超声波传感器因手指而异”以及D项“马达操作起来要快得多”与文意不符。故选A项。15.B推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“But they need to get smaller and cheaper before lots of these hands can be made.
74、they can move just by thinking.”可知,Weinberg希望假臂可以做得更小、更便宜,能让更多的人受益。故选B项。【高频词汇】1.challenge n.挑战2.respond v.回答,作出反应mand n.命令plex adj.复杂的5.vary from.to.因而异长难句分析原句Soon, they hope that anyone who loses a hand will be able to get a new robotic one with five fingers that they can move just by thinking.分析该句
75、是一个主从复合句。第一个that引导的是一个宾语从句,作hope的宾语。定语从句who loses a hand修饰先行词anyone。定语从句that they can move just by thinking修饰先行词fingers。句意不久之后,他们希望任何失去一只手的人都能得到一个新的机器人手臂,它有五个手指,可以通过思考移动。第二节语篇解读本文是一篇说明文,给人们提供了几个保持健康的建议。16.F根据上文“Make it a rule to find ways to move your body.”可知,本段主要讲多活动身体,故选F项(你可以做很多事情来活动你的四肢。)。17.E根
76、据本段小标题可知,本段主要讲不要吸烟,而设空处前两句提到越来越多的青少年抽烟可能是受好莱坞的影响,故选E项(似乎每部电影里的明星都吸烟。)。18.A根据下文“a glass of wine or one drink a day.more can cause other health problems”可知,本段讲的是不要酗酒,A项“避免酗酒”符合段意,故选A项。19.G由本段小标题可知,本段讲的是减压。设空处后面介绍了一些减压的方法,G项(专家提供的一些技巧是做些积极的事。)符合语境。故选G项。20.D根据本段小标题可知,本段讲的是保护自己不受污染的影响,由设空处下一句可知D项(当没有什么雾时
77、,在外面锻炼。)符合语境。故选D项。【高频词汇】1.refer to参考;查阅;提到2.take care注意;小心3.warn v.提醒注意;使警惕4.at least至少5.expert n.专家第二部分语言运用第一节语篇解读本文是一篇记叙文。文章介绍了先天残疾没有双腿的Paige Calendine成为运动达人的故事。21.D考查形容词辨析。根据上文“Paige Calendine was born without legs.”及下文中的“as a barrier to her sporting dreams”可知,Paige Calendine一出生就没有双腿,但她从未将身体(phys
