Vladimirova's journey from the icy Siberian city of Irkutsk to the vital Beijing started during her college years, when she commenced with an academic exchange program connecting her Russian university with Liaoning University in Shenyang, in Northeast China's Liaoning Province.It was during this transformative period that she first set foot in Beijing.Since then, her affection for the city has been undeniable. Vladimirova's path as an artist was far from linear(直线的)．Since childhood Vladimirova has developed a love for drawing and painting.However, she pursued a different academic and professional route, studying Chinese and international trade in college and later working in trade relations between Russia and China, none of which was directly connected to the world of art.Yet, Vladimirova's inner artist remained alive. In 2015, Vladimirova began crafting a series of illustrations centered around Beijing, properly named “The Beijing Calendar”．What attracts Vladimirova most is Beijing's historic hutong.These narrow alleyways, rich in history and culture, serve as a wellspring(源泉) of inspiration for her artistry. Vladimirova's ability to catch these hidden small differences likely comes from her unique perspective as an “outsider”—someone who didn't grow up in Beijing.This fresh perspective allowed her to arrive in the city with fresh eyes and an eager heart, ready to embrace a new culture. 语篇导读　主题语境：人与社会/艺术。本文为记叙文，介绍了胡同里的外国艺术家俄罗斯插画师Liuba Vladimirova以及她用水彩为北京手绘的“纪念册”——《Liuba画北京》。 4．What do the underlined words “commenced with” mean in Paragraph 2? A．Improved.　　　 B．Began. C．Resisted. D．Assessed. 答案　B 解析　词句猜测题。根据第二段画线部分所在句可知，Vladimirova由于在大学期间来到辽宁大学开始学术交流项目而有机会去北京，commenced with意为“开始”，故选B项。 5．What do we know about Vladimirova from Paragraph 3? A．She gave up her dream. B．She won many art prizes several years ago. C．She was hardworking over her childhood. D．She delayed her artistic career. 答案　D 解析　推理判断题。根据第三段可知，尽管Vladimirova从小就对绘画和绘画产生了热爱，但是她一开始从事的是与艺术没有联系的工作，后来才从事艺术行业，她推迟了她的艺术生涯，故选D项。 6．Why does the author mention hutong? A．To praise Beijing's architecture. B．To show the inspiration of Vladimirova's art making. C．To state the main contents of an art book. D．To advise tourists to visit Beijing. 答案　B 解析　推理判断题。根据第四段可知，最吸引Vladimirova的是北京历史悠久的胡同，历史文化丰富的窄巷是她艺术创作灵感的源泉，所以作者提到胡同是为了展示Vladimirova艺术创作的灵感，故选B项。 7．Which statement best summarizes Vladimirova's success? A．Curiosity works wonders. B．Hard work pays off in time. C．The world is diverse and lively. D．Painting has no national boundaries. 答案　A 解析　推理判断题。Vladimirova展示北京的绘画之所以如此成功是她对这座城市充满好奇心，以一个“局外人”的身份带着全新的眼光和渴望的心来到北京，以全新的视角去接受一种新的文化；A项(好奇心能创造奇迹)最好地概括Vladimirova的成功，故选A项。 The First Tourist at Disneyland Dave MacPherson may have been the first paying guest at Disneyland when the theme park opened its gates 50 years ago, but he didn't even have time for one ride.In a hurry to get back to campus for a college class, he instead visited a restroom after spending hours in line and left without as much as a souvenir. Still, the honor of being the first paid admission came with a special perk：a lifetime pass for four to Disneyland and other Disney parks as they opened. “I was the most popular guy at the college，” said MacPherson, a retired journalist living in Monticello, Utah, about 240 miles southeast of Salt Lake City. He's taken full advantage of it scores of times, especially when he lived in California.Usage dwindled after he moved to Kansas City, Mo., to work for newspapers and radio.But being closer to California has made it more useful, and he last made the trip a year ago with his wife, Wanda.He receives a VIP renewal every January. In 1955, MacPherson was watching televised coverage of the opening of Disneyland for the media and invited guests on July 17, 1955, a day before the park opened to the public.“I said, ‘Boy, I would like to go out there’，” said MacPherson, who figured he might draw a prize for standing first in line. He drove his Simplex motorbike to Anaheim, arriving shortly before 1 a．m.to take his place in line an hour before anyone else showed up. The crowd steadily grew overnight to about 6,000 people, and MacPherson made sure no one got in front of him.When the admission booth opened, a photographer for the Long Beach Press-Telegram captured him buying the first ticket. Looking at the photo years later, he realized he had his own camera but didn't use it. “Why didn't I shoot some pictures？” he wonders.“I even forgot to ask Walt (Disney) for his autograph.I must have been balmy or something after staying up all night.” 语篇导读　主题语境：人与自我/个人经历。本文为新闻报道，介绍了Dave MacPherson与迪士尼乐园之间的故事。 8．What was Dave MacPherson when he first visited Disneyland?

One plan was for booksellers' boxes to remain in place but they must be examined by the police first and sealed off (封锁) during the Olympic event, which would attract millions of visitors to the city—including many who would potentially visit their stalls.Another plan, considered even worse by booksellers, was to move the boxes elsewhere.As booksellers point out, many boxes have been in place for 30 or 40 years.Most are rusted and all their parts are not strong enough. Although the city's government has offered to relocate the bookstalls and cover the cost of the move as well as repairing damaged stalls, booksellers say the lack of consultation over a decision affecting a Paris landmark has left them fearful about the future. Plus, there's concern about what will happen when the Olympics are over.“Are they even going to offer us the same spots again after the games？” asked a bookseller. “I'm afraid that we get our boxes back either in a year, or maybe never, or with someone else's things in them，” he said. Booksellers worried that not only would moving the boxes be much more expensive for the capital, but a relocated book market wouldn't work.“The stalls only make sense when they are on the banks of the Seine，” they said.The attraction and culture of the boxes is their age-worn character, their poetic shades of green. 语篇导读　主题语境：人与社会/社会热点问题。本文为新闻报道。巴黎警方以“安全为由”，要求位于巴黎塞纳河畔拥有450年历史的书摊搬迁，以便为2024年巴黎夏季奥运会的开幕式让路，这引起了书商们的不满。 12．What trouble are Paris booksellers facing now?
