With the main event running from April 20 to November 24,2024, here's our pick of what to see if you head to Venice. Willem de Kooning e l’Italia One of the most influential artists of the 20th century, Willem de Kooning is the subject of a major exhibition(展览) exploring his time in 1959 and 1969 and the impact it had on his works. The show will bring together around 75 works, making this the largest presentation of the artist ever organized in Italy. Rise of the Sunken Sun This photography exhibition by Greenlandic artist Inuuteq Storch marks the first time that the Danish Pavilion has showcased both a major exhibition by an artist from Greenland and a presentation on photography. With over 200 images, Storch's project aims to tell the Greenlanders' history, not seen through the visitors' eyes, but through the Greenlanders' own. The Rooted Nomad This exhibition will examine the life and works of M. F. Husain, a modernist painter called “India’s Picasso”. Celebrating his talent as an artist, thinker and writer, the show exhibits his paintings, photographs, letters and parts from his films and poetry that shaped his vision of India as a richly layered cultural nation. The Arch within the Arc The exhibition in Italy of Houston-based artist Rick Lowe takes place at Palazzo Grimani, home to a large collection of 16th-century Greek and Roman sculpture(雕像). Inspired by the architecture of the Museo di Palazzo Grimani and the experience of moving through Venice and its waterways, the exhibition features new paintings by Rick Lowe that reflect his consideration of the arch(拱) in architecture. 21. What is Rise of the Sunken Sun intended for? A. Showing Greenland's history. B. Reflecting Storch's life in Italy. C. Praising an admirable character. D. Attracting visitors from Europe. 22.

The Rooted Nomad. B. Rise of the Sunken Sun. C. The Arch within the Arc. D. Willem de Kooning e l’Italia. B Pål Spilling, a Norwegian Internet pioneer who passed away in 2018, was recognized as the person who brought the Internet to life by the Internet Hall of Fame in 2021. Pål was famous for turning off the Internet in Norway in 1988 when the first widespread infection(感染),which could make plenty of copies of itself on the same computer and damage systems, was headed its way. Pål's coworkers in the United States called to warn him about the infection. “It was a big thing, I remember,” says Pieter Spilling, Pål's son. “He was quite calm when he got the phone call. Then he drove to the office and pulled the plug(插头). At that time, there was only one point of contact for the whole country——a single cable(电缆). And then we saw him on television talking about the infection.” “My father loved doing research. Since the Internet was a new thing, he got inspired by the project because of the new technology,” says Pieter. Working with early Internet developers Peter Kirstein and Vint Cerf in the mid-1970s, Pål helped develop Transmission Control Protocol and Internet Protocol, forming TCP/IP, to manage communications across the Internet. In 1979, Pål also contributed to real-time Internet speech and packet radio communications. Though Päl was deeply in love with research, equally as important to him was his desire to connect and build the community. Pål volunteered in the local community, contributing to the building of a cultural center. He also served for a time as a volunteer at the local school. As for what Pål would think of the Internet today, Pieter says, “My father didn’t like the act of leaving personal information all over the place so that people could track you. He would have been quite worried about the bad sides of the Internet, especially how the Internet can be used to spread opinions in society.” 24. How did Pål respond to the infection in 1988? A. He made a phone call to his son immediately. B. He turned to his coworkers in the US for help. C. He gave people advance warning of the infection. D. He disconnected Norway from the rest of the Internet. 25. What is paragraph 3 mainly about? A. Pảl's achievement in research. B. Famous Internet developers. C. The future of new technology. D. The change in communication. 26. Why did Pål do volunteer work? A. To build his personal skills. B. To get a better job at school. C. To help the local community. D. To set an example to his son. 27. What is Pảl's attitude to today's Internet? A. Positive. B. Concerned. C. Uncaring. D. Unclear. C Over the last 40 years, 90% of the King Penguins(企鹅) on a faraway island have been lost. This is especially worrying because it was the largest group of King Penguins in the world. Penguins living in large groups are called “colonies”. And about half of the world's King Penguins live in the Crozet islands, which lie between Antarctica and the tip of Africa. In 1982, the scientists visited the colony on one of the Crozet islands——the Pig Island. At that time, they figured that there were around 2 million King Penguins there. But now, after carefully studying images taken from space, the scientists believe there are only about 200,000King Penguins left on the island. The scientists are trying to figure out what might have caused the problem. There are some parts that they understand. For example, it got very warm in 1997. That meant the penguins had to swim much farther to get to the colder water where they could find their food. Many penguins couldn't find enough food to feed their babies. That year was a hard year for the penguins all around Antartica, and many died. It's possible that there was some kind of sickness just on the Pig Island. It's also possible that the penguins could have problems with the cats or mice which are also on the island. But there are cats and mice on the other islands, and the penguins there seem to be in good condition. Before this news, people thought the King Penguins were fine. Now, the scientists are worried that they may be in danger. And it will probably get worse because of climate change. The scientists are planning to travel to the Pig Island to count the penguins again and to find out what is going on. But they won't be able to make the trip until this autumn. 28. What can we learn about the Crozet islands from the second paragraph? A. Two million penguins live there now. B. They are the largest islands in Africa. C. They are home to the King Penguins. D. People discovered the islands in 1982. 29. How did the warm weather in 1997 affect the penguins? A. They could feed more babies. B. They swam slowly in the water. C. They grew up in a faster way. D. They had difficulty in getting food. 30. What are the scientists going to do about the penguins? A. Study their images taken from space. B. Explore what threatens their life. C. Make them live in different groups. D. Protect them from cats and mice. 31. Which is the most suitable title for the text? A. A Sharp Drop in Penguins' Number B. The Wonderland of the King Penguins C. A Team's Journey to the South Pole D. The Major Change in Global Climate D Across the globe, natural stores of underground freshwater have been dropping. In nearly one-third of these aquifers(含水层), that loss has been speeding up over the last couple of decades. That's the finding of a new study in the Jan. 25 Nature. Humans have been drawing water out of aquifers faster than rainfall can replace it. Earth's changing climate is also slowing how fast water refills both aquifers and surface lakes, which has been leading to water shortages. This study collected water-level data dating back to 1980. Those data came from some 170,000 water wells. They offer a picture of nearly 1,700 natural stores of groundwater. Those wells show where water has been disappearing fastest. In 12 percent of these aquifers, water levels are now dropping by more than half a meter per year. And one in three of these aquifers have shown water levels dropping by a tenth of a meter per year. In some places, though, large groundwater stores have begun to grow——even after dropping at the end of the last century. Such changes likely come from managing these aquifers differently, the study suggests. One example is the Abbas-e Sharghi basin(盆地) in Iran, which has begun recovering after the government built a large dam. It supplied the very dry region with water. The new study can be a big help in showing where and why those differences show up, says Xu, co-author of the study. And, Xu adds, they will help create a global baseline for proper groundwater management. This work also helps highlight which parts of the world are most at risk. There, water losses may force migration(迁徙) of people who seek easy access to drinking water. Across the globe, water is the key trigger for human migration. And people living in dry regions suffer most. Finding those at-risk regions could lead to timely policy changes to protect water resources. 32. Which is the percentage of aquifers with water levels dropping by 0. 1 meter per year? A. About 12%. B. About 17%. C. About 33%. D. About 50%. 33. What does the author want to say by mentioning the Abbas-e Sharghi basin? A. The locals drew too much water out of aquifers. B. It is hopeful that groundwater can be recovered. C. Large groundwater stores disappear rapidly. D. It takes ages to repair polluted fresh water. 34. What does Xu think of the new study? A. It reminds tourists to stay safe during the trip. B. It enables us to share fresh ideas about nature. C. It forces people to seek easy access to clean water. D. It will deliver benefits to groundwater protection. 35. What does the underlined word “trigger” in the last paragraph mean? A. Reason. B. Belief. C. Failure. D. Stress. 第二节 (共5小题;每小题2.5分,满分12.5分) 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 first time I had a roommate was during my freshman year of college. Lucky for me, she was great. She was clean and organized. I, on the other hand, was a horrible roommate. 36 . Soon that put an end to our friendship. “Rooming together requires mutual(相互的)respect,” says friendship coach Bayard Jackson. If I had known this back then, maybe I would have saved our friendship. Here are other tips from Bayard on how roommates can set themselves up for success. 37 Discuss the rules of your living arrangement. How are we splitting(分摊) rent? What's our guest policy? Should we create a cleaning schedule? Make your expectations clear. If your roommates say they're good about “paying rent on time”, for example, what does “on time” mean to them? Deal with small things directly If your roommate does something that annoys you, get it solved immediately, says Bayard. 38 , but he adds solving problems, like asking your roommate to put away their shoes, before it gets worse, can help prevent further conflict(冲突). Invite more play into your home 39 . Host events together, like a themed watch party for a movie or sports game. Keep a guestbook for your apartment and have guests sign it. You could even throw a Powerpoint party. Learn from them Living with a roommate is a good opportunity to meet someone with a very different background from yours. 40 . A. Set clear rules B. It might feel awkward C. I left my dirty clothes everywhere D. We can develop friendships in many ways E. Don't forget to have fun with your roommate F.

Yet despite the fact that Marco Polo was 58 (high) recognized in China, there exists only one Chinese translation of The Travels of Marco Polo. Completed by Feng Chengjun and 59 (publish) by the Shanghai Commercial Press in 1936, this translation falls short of meeting modern standards of accuracy(准确), fluency and elegance. Feng summarized each chapter using classical Chinese, 60 (stick) to the literary style of that age. Furthermore, he depended on a modern French copy annotated(注解) by A. J. H. Charignon that was not always accurate. In 2011, Rong Xinjiang, a history professor at Peking University and a leading scholar of Sino-foreign relations during the medieval(中世纪的) period, 61 (bring) together a study group to annotate The Travels of Marco Polo. There were many great scholars in the group, including 62 (expert) on Mongol history, Iranian studies, 63 Chinese relations with the Silk Road kingdoms. While their translation——based on a 1938 text annotated by A. C. Moule and Paul Pelliot——remains unfinished, their work has already resulted 64 many books on Marco Polo, the Silk Road, and medieval trading centers like the 65 (east) city of Yangzhou. 第四部分 写作(共两节，满分40分) 第一节 (满分15分) 你班将举办英语演讲比赛。请你以 How Music Can Help Me 为题写一篇演讲稿参赛,内容包括： 1.你的经历； 2.个人感受。 注意：1.写作词数应为80个左右； 2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 How Music Can Help Me Good morning, everyone!____________________________________________________________________________ _________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第二节 (满分 25 分) 阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。 At an early age, Bob was repeatedly told by his mother Markita, “Believe in yourself no matter what happens.” When Bob was 12, his mother traveled with him in a car. Slowly night fell. Bob was asleep in the front seat of the car. As Markita drove carefully down the winding dirt road, she turned onto a narrow bridge. As she did, the car hit a rock and ran off the road, and the right front wheel got stuck. Fearing the car would tip over, she attempted to drive it back onto the road by pressing hard on the gas pedal(油门) and turning the steering wheel(方向盘) to the left. But Bob's foot got caught between his mother's leg and the steering wheel and she lost control of the car. The car rolled over and hit a deep valley. Bob could hardly get his breath back. “What happened, Mama?” he asked. “Our wheels are pointing toward the sky.” Markita was blinded by blood. She was too painful to move and cry for help. “I'll get you out, Mama,” said Bob, who had luckily escaped injury. He managed to get out of the car through the open window and tried to pull his mother out. But she couldn't move. “Just let me sleep,” replied Markita, who seemed to be out of consciousness(意识). “No, Mama,” Bob continued. “You can't sleep.” Bob reached her mother and tried to pull her out of the car, but failed. He then told her he'd climb up to the road and stop a car to get help. Fearing that no one would be able to see her little boy in the dark, Markita refused to let him go alone. Instead, Markita did her best to open the door. She moved inches at a time. The pain was so great that Markita wanted to give up, but Bob wouldn't let her. 注意： 1.续写词数应为 150个左右； 2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 To keep his mother moving, Bob repeated the words his mother told him. ___________ ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ About an hour later, Bob and his mother finally reached the road._____________________________________________ ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
