B. A driving license. C. A Mandarin certificate. D. A food production license. BWhat is art? Thats an ea
18、sy question to answer. Art is a painting, a drawing or a sculpture. Now there are new items to add to the list. Art is a dead shark in a glass case. Art is an unmade bed. Art is a video of a group of people standing completely still for sixty minutes. A new group of young artists began to produce wo
19、rk that challenged the accepted idea of what art is and the role the artist should play in society. This group came to be known as the YBAsthe Young British Artists. The art of the YBAs does not just stick to painting and sculpture. It uses all kinds of different materials to express the feeling of
20、the artist. Damien Hirst is the most famous of the YBAs. The shark in the box is his work and is meant to express his own fear of dying. The shark stands for death. Right now, it is harmless. But eventually it will come for you. There is nothing to be done about it. Traditionally, artists have a mes
21、sage. They use their skills to lead us to enlightenment (启迪). The message of the YBAs is that they cannot do this. They are just as mixed up and confused as everybody else. A journalist once asked Damien Hirst what his next idea was for an artwork. “I dont know what Im going to do next. I never know
22、 what Im going to do next,” he replied. Another YBA, Tracy Emin recently produced a work called “Bed”. This is just her own bed with the sheets disarranged and dirty. And the message? “Look at meIm a mess.” Some artists work with the public in producing their work. Gillian Wearing filmed a group of
23、people dressed as policemen trying to keep still for 60 minutes while standing on top of a table. At the end of that time, the table falls apart and everyone falls to the floor. You can try to be a good citizen and a respectable member of the community. But dont try too hard or the pressure will be
24、too much. Art mirrors the state of society. In the work of the YBAs we can see a society on the threshold (开端) of the futurea bit worried, a bit excited and wondering what is going to happen next. The YBAs cant guide us, but they can make the journey more interesting. 24. What does the underlined wo
25、rd “it” in Paragraph 3 refer to?A. The shark. B. Death. C. Damiens artwork. D. Damiens fear of dying. 25. What can be inferred from Tracys work “Bed”？A. She needs to be taken care of. B. She sees the world as a dirty one. C. She compares herself to the bed. D. She hopes for better living conditions.
26、 26. Which of the following refers to a person who tries too hard in Gillians work?A. The table. B. The floor. C. 60 minutes. D. The people dressed as policemen. 27. What is the main purpose of the text?A. To explain what the work of the YBAs is like. B. To show how the YBAs form ideas for their wor
27、k. C. To describe the YBAs as artists full of imagination. D. To show the YBAs have made a great difference in art. CAfter spending years competing as a marathon mountain runner and cross-country skier, Gudrun Pflueger devoted herself to tracking wolves as a field biologist in Canadas backcountry. A
28、nd her research and encounters with the Canadian coastal wolves led to the 2010 Smithsonian Channel documentary (纪录片) A Woman Among Wolves. Less than a month after filming along British Columbias islands, Pflueger, then 33, was diagnosed with a brain tumor (瘤) and told she might have only 18 months
29、to live. Surgeons removed a golf ball-size tumor, and Pflueger, now promoting her Smithsonian Channel follow-up, Running With Wolves, credits wolves with helping inspire her recovery. “I really believe the encounter with the wolves in the wilderness was a powerful medicine. They gave me strength,” s
30、ays Pflueger, now 37, whose life-threatening encounter with a coastal wolf pack was highlighted in the earlier film. “Most people see them as bad, as killing machines. But they are part of nature. They have some of the same characteristics as we dodetermination, courage, a strong will to live. Runni
31、ng With Wolves was filmed over parts of 2011-2012, while Pflueger was regaining her physical strength. It tracks her inspirational but hard return to Canadas coast. “Its rare for filmmakers to go back, but people can relate to this story on all sorts of levels,” says Smithsonian Channels chief progr
32、ammer, David Royle. “Gudrun was a world-class athlete who is fun and energetic. Shes enthusiastic about a species thats been misrepresented. And you come away feeling inspired by her courage and bravery recovering from cancer.” “We want to draw attention to women scientists. Theyre underrepresented
33、at the top level,” he says. “We also wanted to challenge stereotypes (成见) that women scientists are unimportant.” 28. In A Woman Among Wolves, Pflueger is shown as a person who _. A. fights against dangerous wolves in the wildB. recovers from cancer by living among wolvesC. is a marathon runner and
34、cross-country skierD. studies the behavior of wolves in the wild29. What was Pfluegers main purpose in returning to Canadas coast?A. To help to film the documentary. B. To compete as a marathon runner. C. To protect the wolves from being hunted. D. To beat cancer by finding inspiration among wolves.

A. seldom go back when making a filmB. had great trouble filming the documentaryC. filmed another documentary about PfluegerD. have no plan to film another documentary31. What does David Royle really mean by what he says in
36、 the last paragraph?A. Pflueger is brave. B. Pflueger is energetic. C. Pflueger is outstanding. D. Pflueger is enthusiastic. DA new study, published in Psychological Science, finds that people who think they can learn from their mistakes have a different brain reaction to mistakes than people who th
37、ink intelligence is fixed. “One big difference between people who think intelligence is malleable (可塑的) and those who think intelligence is fixed is how they respond to mistakes,” says Jason S. Moser, of Michigan State University. Studies have found that people who think intelligence is malleable sa
38、y things like, “When the going gets tough, I put in more effort.” or “If I make a mistake, I try to learn and figure it out.” On the other hand, people who think that they cant get smarter will not take opportunities to learn from their mistakes. This can be a problem in school. For example, a stude
39、nt who thinks her intelligence is fixed will think its not worth bothering to try harder after she fails a test. For this study, Moser and his colleagues gave participants a task that was easy to make a mistake on. They were supposed to identify the middle letter of a five-letter series like “MMMMM”
40、, “MMNMM” or “NNMNN”. Sometimes the middle letter was the same as the other four, and sometimes it was different. While doing the task, the participants wear a cap on his or her head that records electrical activity in the brain. When someone makes a mistake, their brain makes two quick signals: an
41、initial response that indicates something has gone wrongthe “Oh, crap” response, as Moser calls itand a follow-up signal that indicates an attempt to correct the mistake. A bigger second signal was displayed in the participants who were better able to recover from making a mistakethat is, those who
42、believed that they could learn from such a mistakethan in the participants who had negative feelings about a mistake and believed that their failure was due to their own shortcomings. “This research might help us understand why exactly the two types of individuals show different behaviors after mist
43、akes and could help in training people to believe that they can work harder and learn more, by showing how their brain is reacting to mistakes,” Moser says. 32. Why wont some people learn from their mistakes?A. Their brain doesnt react to mistakes. B. They dont think they can do better. C. Their bra
44、in doesnt deal with mistakes. D. They dont think they have made a mistake. 33. What was the purpose of the five-letter series?A. To make the participants make a mistake. B. To test the participants ability to identify letters. C. To help the participants to identify the middle letter. D. To train th
45、e participants to be careful with mistakes. 34. What happened in the brain of those with negative feelings about a mistake?A. There was no follow-up signal. B. There were a few follow-up signals. C. There was a bigger follow-up signal. D. There was a smaller follow-up signal. 35. Which of the follow
46、ing can be the best title for the text?A. Avoiding Mistakes Is PossibleB. How You Respond to Mistakes MattersC. Why There Are Brain Signals After a MistakeD. Brain Reactions to Mistakes Show Intelligence第二节阅读下面短文, 从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。The ReUseIt NetworkThe ReUseIt Network is an on-lin
47、e forum that aims at finding new uses for unwanted items that would otherwise be thrown into the trash (垃圾桶). 36 They can help each other through the network. The primary benefit of reusing items is that it reduces the amount of reusable items that end up in the trash with a secondary benefit of red
48、ucing the overall amount of items thrown into landfills (垃圾场). 37 As a result, the burden on our natural resources is reduced. The ReUseIt Network also provides an opportunity for those looking for an item to ask for it. 38 It is a great way to help give away those things which we may have forgotten
49、, giving every member the chance to ReUseIt! In a society where many items are thrown away long before they have actually outlived their use, the ReUseIt Network is a great help not only to people who have free things but dont want them but also to people who want them but dont have them. 39 Simply
50、list the item that you wish to give away and wait for someone to respond saying that he or she is interested in taking the item. And then you give away the item. We do suggest that you be honest about the condition of the items offered. They dont have to be in good condition. 40 Some people like to
51、experiment with old things, or need a part to make something work. You may have just what they are looking for! Make sure that all transactions (交易) are free and legal. And above all, be friendly!A. And in some cases they can be non-working. B. If you need an item, just join the ReUseIt Network. C.
52、The request may remind someone who has unused items. D. It also helps reduce the need to produce additional goods. E. Now you may start your participation in the ReUseIt Network. F.
