14、 these, Spanish and Italian are the easiest for English speakers to learn. They are followed by Portuguese and finally French.Latin languages share many words with English.

Even a person who touches something with the virus and then touches his or her mouth, eyes, or nose, can become infected(感染).The outbreak of the 1918 influenza infected about 500 million peo
22、ple worldwide. It killed from 20 million to 50 million people. It was first seen in Europe, the United States, and parts of Asia. It then spread quickly around the world. Many people who bccame sick were young, healthy adults. At the time, no treatments worked in the prevention of the spread of the
23、killer flu. People were ordered to wear masks. Schools, theaters and other public places were closed.When the first wave(波in the spring of 1918 hit, it didnt seem serious.

29、, Carina?” Collin asked.“Homesick again?”His sister nodded.“Yeah, me too.” Collin sighed(叹息).Their family had moved to the new place nearly four months ago. The new place was housed inside a huge transparent dome (透明的圆屋顶). It still didnt feel like home.“I miss my friends,”Carina said sadly.“And gree
30、n grass and swimming, and everything. I even miss the sound of rain on the roof(屋顶).”“Worst of all,” Carina continued,“my birthday is in two days, and I dont think Mom and Dad are planning anything special. Theyre too busy.”“Shes probably right,” thought Collin. Life here was very busy for scientist
31、s like their parents. He doubted if they had time to plan a party. And how could they anyway? Things such as balloons and birthday candles didnt exist here. They didnt even have enough materials to make a cake.“Dont worry.” Collin put an arm around Carinas shoulder.Collin walked toward the agricultu
32、ral center, where his mom worked. He found her taking notes on some tall tube-like plants.“What are those?” he asked.“Bamboo plants,”said Mom.“Theyre strong and grow fast. They make good building materials.”“May I have a piece?”“Sure.” Mom handed one to him and made a note on her notebook.The next d
33、ay, Collin made tiny holes into the piece of bamboo and put small nails(钉子)into each hole. He poured a handful of pebbles(鹅卵石) inside and covered the open ends.Collin held the bamboo piece carefully as he hurried home. He hid it behind his back and opened the front door. To his surprise, Mom and Dad
34、 were home early from work. Mom was carrying something that looked like a cake.He looked closer and realized Mom had made a cake with dried apples and cinnamon(肉桂皮) sugar. A real treat, on the Moon.Collin handed his sister the bamboo rod.“Happy birthday!”“What is it?” Carina asked, looking at it cur
35、iously.“A rain stick,” said Collin. “Whenever you turn it over, the pebbles fall around the nails and it sounds like rain.”Carina turned the stick, and the room was filled with a sound like rain drumming on aroof.“Its Moon Rain!” she said.“It makes me feel like Im home.” She smiled at Collin and tur

Which of the following can best describe Collin?A. Careful and brave. B. Caring and creative.C. Generous and intellectual
38、.D. Romantic and popular.DLooking at art should be like walking in the countryside. You may not know exactly where you are, what bird is making that strange sound, or what the hill ahead of you is called, but thats part of the fun of it. You dont need to know these things to feel the beauty of natur
39、e.Of course, if you do know your birds, trees and local history, a walk can be more attractive. Yet such knowledge comes slowly. It is picked up through experience. A true knowledge of nature cannot just be given to you through an app on your phone. Imagine pointing your phone at the hill and gettin
40、g plenty of information on screen. Would that enrich your dreamy walk or ruin(毁灭) it?Braggarts enjoy an app that allows them to show off their knowledge, for example, about baroque(巴洛克风格的) paintings. In fact, apps in museums try to provide on-screen art history at once just to encourage people to re
41、ad their phones instead of looking at paintings.It is a mistaken idea that you need to be spoon-fed(灌输) amazing facts about a work of art in order to appreciate(欣赏) it. Our first experience of a work of art should be raw(自然状态的), unguided, and a bit puzzling, like following a path in the woods. Later
42、, you might choose to do some personal research into the work. It can further increase your enjoyment and appreciation for it. Yet it is best done when youre away from the art itself, so that even when you return, the work still feels fresh.Anyone who thinks knowing some dates and details makes you
43、better understand a work of art is wrong. We all need to put aside our screens and our supposed knowledge when we look at art. Let the paintings flow in; let your intuitions(直觉) fly off. Art is a journey in the wilderness or it is nothing at all.32. What does the writer mainly want to say?A. Art is
44、best with the help of apps.B. Art is best when hidden in mystery.C. Art is nothing compared with nature.D. Art is nothing when details and facts are known.33. The underlined word “braggarts” refers to(指)_.A. people who like showing offB. people who like baroque paintingsC. those who are good at appr
45、eciating artD. those who are good at painting with phones34. Whats the main idea of Paragraph 4?A. How to appreciate a work of art.B. How to personal research into a work of art. C. How to keep your feelings about a work of art fresh.D. How to be spoon-fed amazing facts about a work of art.35. what
46、can we infer(推断) from the passage?A. Because of apps, art will be ruined in the future. B. A good piece of art is usually made about nature.C. Research work and intuitions can both help understand art. D. Museums are not supposed to allow the use of mobile phones.四、阅读表达（共5小题；每小题1分，满分5分）阅读下面短文，并根据所读内
