When it comes to hiking, Greece has something for every kind of walker. The mainland boasts (拥有)well-maintained routes, while on the country’s islands you’ll find ancient paths dating back to Byzantine times connecting sleepy villages with beautiful sandy coves (小海湾). Here’s our pick of Greece’s best hikes.
Samaria Gorge, Crete
16 kilometers(10 miles), 4 hours
Hiking the 16-kilometer Samaria Gorge is considered one of Crete’s must-do experiences, which is why you’ll rarely be without company. Nevertheless, there’s an undeniable raw beauty to Samaria, where vertical (垂直的) walls soar up to 500 meters and are just 3.5 meters apart at the narrowest point (150 meters at the broadest).
The hike begins at 1,230 meters at Xyloskalo just south of Omalos and ends in the coastal village of Agia Roumeli. It’s especially scenic in April and May, when wildflowers brighten the route.
Mt Ohi summit hike, Evia
8 kilometers(5 miles), 3 to 4 hours
The summit of Mt Ohi (Profitis Ilias; 1,398 m), lesser-visited Evia’s third-highest peak, is crowned by mysterious ancient dragon houses: 7th century BC architecture, made from rocks weighing several tons. From Myli, it’s an 8-kilometer hike to the summit (three to four hours).
It’s possible to stay overnight at the 1,000-meter-high refuge then hike up Mt Ohi to catch the sunrise(30 minutes), which makes for a magical experience. Contact South Evia Tours or Evia Adventure Tours for details.
Delphi to Kirra Walk, Central Greece
14 kilometers (9 miles), 3 to 4 hours
This 14-kilometer downhill hike follows a centuries-old pathway from historic Delphi to the ancient port of Kirra, just east of modern Itea on the southern coast of mainland Greece.
The hike starts from the E4 long-distance starting point 100 meters east of the Hotel Acropole. Skirting the village of Crissa, it goes to the gulf (海湾) through Greece’s largest olive garden. After your three-to-four-hour hike, and lunch or a swim, you can return to Delphi by bus (around 2 euros).
Hike to the Tomb of Kleobolus, Rhodes
5 kilometers(3 miles), 2 hours
An easy, enjoyable 5-kilometer(two-hour)round-trip hike escapes Lindos to reach the so-called Tomb of Kleobolus. Starting alongside Car Park 1 above the main beach, the route ends at a rocky hill topped by a circular tomb actually built during the 2nd century BC, long after Kleobolus ruled Rhodes.
21.What is the raw beauty of Samaria?
A.High and narrow gorges. B.Magical sunset.
C.Wildflowers throughout the year. D.Mysterious large rocks.
22.What will visitors see during the Mt Ohi summit hike, Evia?
A.Ancient buildings. B.Evia’s highest peak.
C.A circular tomb. D.Greece’s largest olive garden.
23.What can we learn about the Delphi to Kirra Walk?
A.It lets visitors experience the modern world of Greece.
B.Visitors are recommended to get back to Delphi by ship.
C.The route connects two places with a long history.
D.It is a challenging route through a rocky hill.

In January when wildfires came within a kilometer of her home, Jessica Miles found herself reflecting on the bravery of firefighters in the Port Macquarie area.
Jessica said the tires had been frightening. “There were helicopters (直升机) flying around our house and smoke everywhere,” she said. Over a family dinner, the 12-year-old girl raised the idea of building a sculpture to honor the men and women on the wildfire front line and was greeted with support.
With artwork from the Hello Koalas Sculpture Trail on their doorstep, Jessica’s mother suggested she contact the organizers of the trail with her idea. In a message to Hello Koalas through a Facebook post. Jessica wrote: “I’ve recently thought of an idea as Australia has been facing disaster lately... The firefighters have risked their life and time to protect us. In recognition of their bravery, I wanted so share an idea I had about making a koala (考拉) in honor of the firefighters and to spread hope to Australia.”
Hello Koalas director Margret Meagher said while she had thought about creating a sculpture to honor Australia’s selfless and heroic firefighters in the past, Jessica’s message made her more determined than ever to make it happen. Having been involved in the Rural Fire Service (RFS), Ms. Meacher was also personally touched by summer’s wildfires: “So I really wanted to celebrate the local men and women who fought bravely to protect our community and to recognize all firefighters in Australia.” Ms. Meagher said.
Jessica, who is passionate about the environment and animals said she had been excited to receive such a positive response to her idea including her suggestion “it could have the RFS badge (章) painted on the koala or it could have a fireman’s jacket.” The new sculpture, Frankie Firefighter, created by artist Kim Staples, was unveiled (揭幕) this week and features both Jessica’s ideas.

A.Send greetings to firefighters. B.Put her artwork on their doorstep.
C.Build a sculpture to honor firefighters. D.Seek help from Hello Koalas to apply her idea.
25.What finally drove Ms. Meagher to create a firefighter sculpture?
A.Firefighters heroic stories. B.Her involvement in RFS.

When my father died, one of the tasks that fell to me was to sort through and decide which objects to save and which to throw away. Now I look at the objects of my life as if I were dead, wondering, what will my children do with the human skull that sits on the bookcase? They’ve been wanting to throw it out for some years, but will they know how much can be learned from living with a skull? And I know they will throw the white plastic head of a horse on my desk into a rubbish bag without a thought, never knowing that it is the only piece remaining from the first chess set I owned. It is me at age twelve.
But the final decisions are left to those who know us least — our children. I was the closest to my father and knew him well; however, only when I was going through his study did I learn he had collected picture postcards of hotels. What was I to do with all the objects that had been him? The sad part of me wanted to put everything in my car and take it home. The rational won, however, and I filled rubbish bags with old newspapers, magazines, apologizing to his spirit as I did. I could not throw out the thousands of pictures he had taken on his travels. I brought the pictures home, though I will never look at them. I brought twelve boxes of my father home.
I look at the objects that are my life and the only way my children can satisfy me is by not touching a thing. But they must if I am to go on with my death. And I wonder how many boxes of me will my children keep? I look at these objects that are me and know, too, that they are symbols of how alone I and each of us is, for no one knows what any object means except he or she who owns it. Every object of our lives is a memory, and emotion surrounds around it, hiding and protecting a tiny truth of the heart. Only I have the memories of when and how each one was obtained; I look at the objects that are me, and the memories are warm and permeated (弥漫) with love.
27.Why does the writer keep the plastic head of a horse?
A.Because his father gave it to him as a gift.
B.Because it makes him a very good chess player.
C.Because it brings back memories of his childhood.
D.Because he accepted it as a prize for a competition.
28.How did the writer deal with the remaining objects of his father after he died?
A.He threw everything away.
B.He saved some of the worthless objects.
C.He took some of them to his own house.
D.He sorted them and put them into good order.
29.What do we know about the writer?
A.He is very strict with his children.
B.He prefers to collect different skulls.
C.He relies on his children to deal with his possessions.
D.He knows more about his father after his father died.
30.According to the last paragraph, the objects we save ________.
A.serve as the symbols of our social class B.are reminders of past experiences
C.are quite expensive and valuable D.make us proud of ourselves

【2024届北京市中国人民大学附属中学高三三模考试英语试卷】
Is it possible to persuade mankind to live without war? War is an ancient institution, which has occurred ever since men were organized into units larger than the family. In the past human race managed to survive it. Why should it not continue to survive even if wars go on occurring from time to time? Moreover, people like war, and will feel frustrated without it. And without war there will be no adequate opportunity for heroism or self-sacrifice.
Modem technology has changed this. Either man will abolish war, or war will abolish man. For the present, it is nuclear weapons that cause the most serious danger, but bacteriological or chemical weapons may, before long, offer an even greater threat. If we succeed in abolishing nuclear weapons, our work will not be done. It will never be done until we have succeeded in abolishing war. To do this, we need to persuade mankind to look upon international questions in a new way, not as contests of force, in which the victory goes to the side which is most skillful in killing people, but by arbitration (通过仲裁) in accordance with agreed principles of law. It is not easy to change very old mental habits, but this is what must be attempted.
There are those who say that the adoption of this or that ideology (意识形态) would prevent war. I believe this to be a big error. All ideologies are based upon dogmatic (武断的) statements that are, at best, doubtful, and at worst, totally false. Their followers believe in them so fanatically that they are willing to go to war in support of them.
The movement of world opinion during the past few years has been very largely such as we can welcome. It has become a commonplace that nuclear war must be avoided. Of course very difficult problems remain in the world, but the spirit in which they are being approached is a better one than it was some years ago. It has begun to be thought, even by the powerful men who decide whether we shall live or die, that negotiations should reach agreements even if both sides do not find these agreements wholly satisfactory. It has begun to be understood that the important conflict nowadays is not between different countries, but between man and the atom bomb.
31.From the passage we can learn that war now is ______.
A.as bad as in the past B.worse than in the past
C.as necessary as in the past D.not so dangerous as in the past
32.What does the underlined sentence in Paragraph 2 probably mean?
A.Men, as well as war, will have to make the ultimate choice between the two.
B.Modern technology has empowered man to choose whether to have war or not.
C.At least 6,000 years later, man has finally decided to abandon war once and for all.
D.People will eventually destroy themselves if they choose to go to war at modern times.
33.As for ideology, what does the author intend to tell us?
A.Certain ideology is superior regarding its truthfulness.
B.It is useless to adopt an ideology to prevent war.
C.Not every ideology is not worth fighting for.
D.It is wrong to follow any ideology.
34.Which would be the best title for the passage?
A.War or No War, That Is A Question
B.Nuclear Weapons Bring the End of Human Race
C.Towards a Future Without War: A Call for Global Arbitration
D.From Ideology to Negotiation: A New Approach to International Conflicts

Art Builds Understanding
Despite the long history of scholarship on experiences of art, researchers have yet to capture and understand the most meaningful aspects of such experiences, including the thoughts and insights we gain when we visit a museum, the sense of encounter after seeing a meaningful work of art, or the changed thinking after experiences with art. These powerful encounters can be inspiring, uplifting, and contribute to well-being and flourishing.
35 It contributes to facilitating a better understanding of ourselves, the human condition, and moral and spiritual concepts. The question is how that happens — what are the attributes of meaningful experiences of art?
According to the mirror model of art developed by Pablo P. L. Tinio, aesthetic reception corresponds to artistic creation in a mirror-reversed fashion. Artists aim to express ideas and messages about the human condition or the world at large. 36 This results in the build-up of layers of materials — from initial studies and sketches to the final, refined piece. A viewer’s initial interaction with an artwork starts where the artist has left off. Their interaction first involves the processing surface features, such as color, texture, and the finishing touches applied by the artist during the final stages of the creative process. 37
In addition, art making and art viewing are connected by creative thinking. Research in a lab at Yale University shows that an educational program that uses art appreciation activities builds creative thinking skills. It showed that the more time visitors spent engaging with art and the more they reflected on it, the greater the correspondence with the artists’ intentions and ideas. 38
Correspondence in feeling and thinking suggests a transfer — between creator and viewer — of ideas, concepts, and emotions contained in the works of art. Art has the potential to communicate across space and time. 39 What it takes for this to happen is active engagement with art in contexts that facilitate this engagement, especially museums.
A.The viewers gain a new perspective on the story.
B.The theory of aesthetic cognitivism describes the value of art.
C.This helps to create connections and insights that otherwise would not happen.
D.To do so, they explore key ideas and continually expand them as they develop their work.
E.After spending more time with the work, the viewer begins to access the ideas of the artist.
F.For example, in one activity, people are asked to view a work of art from different perspectives.
G.Participants were more original in their thinking when compared to those who did not take part in the program.

Shared Services Need More Imagination
Suppose you need to drill a hole in the wall to hang an item but do not own a power drill. You may regard it as expensive to buy a power drill and consider renting one. Sharing is the solution. The sharing industry is an emerging. highly flexible economic network that allows people to share resources, either free or for a fee.
The important idea of the sharing industry is that people might only need an item for a relatively short period. The private part of shared services has been moving towards this area since the beginning of the 1980s, and then the public part has taken note of the benefits and continued for best practice. The United States and Australia among others have had shared services in government since the late 1990s.
With the rise of the sharing industry, the best-known shared bikes and shared cars have got a lot of public attention. This kind of transportation is so environmentally-friendly that it is increasingly popular among people in many cities.
Of course shared services don’t need to be limited to machines. The real pay-off in shared services probably lies in renting out smaller, less heavy items. For example, in today’s casual environment, you don’t need a tie unless you’re going to a wedding or a job interview. So some companies, would let you pick up a tie when you needed it and only when you needed it. Another example is an umbrella-sharing service. Since visitors don’t want to be carrying umbrellas all the way, it would be cheaper and easier to simply borrow an umbrella on one street corner and drop it off on another.
Recently organizations that have centralized their IT functions have begun to take a close look at the technology services that their IT departments provide for customers, evaluating where it makes sense to provide technology components. E-mall and scanning (归描) operations were obvious early candidates. Many organizations are now oftering their document-intensive operations is a shared service, There is no doubt that people are calling for the expansion of shared services to more and more treas.
40.What is the sharing industry?
41.Why does shared transportation receive attention from people?
42.Please decide which part is false in the following statement, then underline it and explain why.
Shared services are getting increasingly popular for their convenience, but there are still calls for expansion to wider areas because they are currently restricted to machines
43.Please provide another example of shared services and explain your reason. (about 40 words)

1.考查动词词义辨析。句意:这迫使他的家人租了一个汽车旅馆房间。A. fooled愚弄;干傻事;B. forced强迫;用力推;C. frightened 使害怕;D. persuaded劝说。根据前文“But those odd jobs quickly dried up due to a financial crisis. Then he lost his apartment.”可知罗伯家由于经济危机失去了他们的公寓,这迫使他们租住在汽车旅馆里。故选B。

The African penguin 18 (expect) to go extinct in the wild in just over a decade, given its current population decline. The main reason is a lack of food caused by disturbance to ocean conditions from global heating and competition from the commercial fishing industry. According to a study, recently scientists have identified a possible 19 (addition) cause, one that is an entirely new threat and that further 20 (prevent) the penguins from finding food: noise pollution from marine ships in a bay.
【答案】18.is expected 19.additional 20.prevents
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章分析了非洲企鹅数量的下降的原因。
18.考查被动语态。句意:鉴于目前的数量下降,18岁的非洲企鹅预计将在十多年内在野外灭绝。需要填入的词应该是表示“预计将会”的意思。这里可以使用被动语态,因为句子的主语“African penguin”是动作的承受者,而不是执行者。考虑到时态和上下文,这里应该使用一般现在时的被动语态,因此填空处应填入“is expected”。
19.考查词形转换。根据句子的意思,科学家们识别出了一个可能的额外原因,这个原因是一种全新的威胁,它进一步阻止企鹅寻找食物。因此,这里需要一个形容词来修饰"cause",表示这个原因是附加的或额外的。因此,填空处应填入形容词 "additional"。
20.考查动词时态语态和主谓一致。句意:根据一项研究,最近科学家们发现了一个可能的额外原因,这是一个全新的威胁,进一步阻止企鹅寻找食物:海湾中船舶的噪音污染。分析句子可知,prevent(阻止)是定语从句中谓语动词,与关系代词that(即先行词one)之间是主动关系,陈述客观事实,用一般现在时态,又因主语是单数代词,所以谓语动词也应使用单数形式。综上,谓语应用一般现在时主动语态,单数形式。故填prevents。

【北京房山良乡中学2023-2024学年高三上学期期中英语试题】
When it comes to hiking, Greece has something for every kind of walker. The mainland boasts (拥有)well-maintained routes, while on the country’s islands you’ll find ancient paths dating back to Byzantine times connecting sleepy villages with beautiful sandy coves (小海湾). Here’s our pick of Greece’s best hikes.
Samaria Gorge, Crete
16 kilometers(10 miles), 4 hours
Hiking the 16-kilometer Samaria Gorge is considered one of Crete’s must-do experiences, which is why you’ll rarely be without company. Nevertheless, there’s an undeniable raw beauty to Samaria, where vertical (垂直的) walls soar up to 500 meters and are just 3.5 meters apart at the narrowest point (150 meters at the broadest).
The hike begins at 1,230 meters at Xyloskalo just south of Omalos and ends in the coastal village of Agia Roumeli. It’s especially scenic in April and May, when wildflowers brighten the route.
Mt Ohi summit hike, Evia
8 kilometers(5 miles), 3 to 4 hours
The summit of Mt Ohi (Profitis Ilias; 1,398 m), lesser-visited Evia’s third-highest peak, is crowned by mysterious ancient dragon houses: 7th century BC architecture, made from rocks weighing several tons. From Myli, it’s an 8-kilometer hike to the summit (three to four hours).
It’s possible to stay overnight at the 1,000-meter-high refuge then hike up Mt Ohi to catch the sunrise(30 minutes), which makes for a magical experience. Contact South Evia Tours or Evia Adventure Tours for details.
Delphi to Kirra Walk, Central Greece
14 kilometers (9 miles), 3 to 4 hours
This 14-kilometer downhill hike follows a centuries-old pathway from historic Delphi to the ancient port of Kirra, just east of modern Itea on the southern coast of mainland Greece.
The hike starts from the E4 long-distance starting point 100 meters east of the Hotel Acropole. Skirting the village of Crissa, it goes to the gulf (海湾) through Greece’s largest olive garden. After your three-to-four-hour hike, and lunch or a swim, you can return to Delphi by bus (around 2 euros).
Hike to the Tomb of Kleobolus, Rhodes
5 kilometers(3 miles), 2 hours
An easy, enjoyable 5-kilometer(two-hour)round-trip hike escapes Lindos to reach the so-called Tomb of Kleobolus. Starting alongside Car Park 1 above the main beach, the route ends at a rocky hill topped by a circular tomb actually built during the 2nd century BC, long after Kleobolus ruled Rhodes.
21.What is the raw beauty of Samaria?
A.High and narrow gorges. B.Magical sunset.
C.Wildflowers throughout the year. D.Mysterious large rocks.
22.What will visitors see during the Mt Ohi summit hike, Evia?
A.Ancient buildings. B.Evia’s highest peak.
C.A circular tomb. D.Greece’s largest olive garden.
23.What can we learn about the Delphi to Kirra Walk?
A.It lets visitors experience the modern world of Greece.
B.Visitors are recommended to get back to Delphi by ship.
C.The route connects two places with a long history.
D.It is a challenging route through a rocky hill.
【答案】21.A 22.A 23.C
【导语】本文是一篇应用文。文章介绍了希腊四个适合徒步旅行的旅游景点和路线。
21.细节理解题。根据Samaria Gorge(峡谷), Crete部分中“Nevertheless, there’s an undeniable raw beauty to Samaria, where vertical (垂直的) walls soar up to 500 meters and are just 3.5 meters apart at the narrowest point(150 meters at the broadest). (然而,撒玛利亚有一种不可否认的原始之美,那里的垂直墙壁高达500米,最窄的地方只有3.5米(最宽的地方有150米)。)”可知,撒玛利亚有一种不可否认的原始之美即又高又窄的峡谷。故选A。
22.推理判断题。根据Mt Ohi summit hike, Evia部分中“The summit of Mt Ohi (Profitis Ilias; 1,398 m), lesser-visited Evia’s third-highest peak, is crowned by mysterious ancient dragon houses: 7th century BC architecture, made from rocks weighing several tons. (Ohi山的顶峰(Profittis Ilias—1398米高,是埃维亚的第三高峰,游客较少,被神秘的古代龙屋所覆盖:公元前7世纪的建筑,由重达数吨的岩石制成。)”可知,此处有被神秘的古代龙屋所覆盖:公元前7世纪的建筑,由重达数吨的岩石制成。故对古代建筑感兴趣的游客们可以选在此处徒步旅行。故选A。
23.细节理解题。根据 Delphi to Kirra Walk, Central Greece部分中“This 14-kilometer downhill hike follows a centuries-old pathway from historic Delphi to the ancient port of Kirra, just east of modern Itea on the southern coast of mainland Greece. (这条14公里的下坡徒步旅行沿着一条数百年历史的小路,从历史悠久的德尔菲到古老的港口基拉,就在希腊大陆南部海岸的现代伊特亚以东。)”可知,这条路线连接了两个历史悠久的地方即历史悠久的德尔菲到古老的港口基拉。故选C。

In January when wildfires came within a kilometer of her home, Jessica Miles found herself reflecting on the bravery of firefighters in the Port Macquarie area.
Jessica said the tires had been frightening. “There were helicopters (直升机) flying around our house and smoke everywhere,” she said. Over a family dinner, the 12-year-old girl raised the idea of building a sculpture to honor the men and women on the wildfire front line and was greeted with support.

Hello Koalas director Margret Meagher said while she had thought about creating a sculpture to honor Australia’s selfless and heroic firefighters in the past, Jessica’s message made her more determined than ever to make it happen. Having been involved in the Rural Fire Service (RFS), Ms. Meacher was also personally touched by summer’s wildfires: “So I really wanted to celebrate the local men and women who fought bravely to protect our community and to recognize all firefighters in Australia.” Ms. Meagher said.
Jessica, who is passionate about the environment and animals said she had been excited to receive such a positive response to her idea including her suggestion “it could have the RFS badge (章) painted on the koala or it could have a fireman’s jacket.” The new sculpture, Frankie Firefighter, created by artist Kim Staples, was unveiled (揭幕) this week and features both Jessica’s ideas.

【2024届北京首都师范大学附属中学高三下阶段性质量检测英语试题】
When my father died, one of the tasks that fell to me was to sort through and decide which objects to save and which to throw away. Now I look at the objects of my life as if I were dead, wondering, what will my children do with the human skull that sits on the bookcase? They’ve been wanting to throw it out for some years, but will they know how much can be learned from living with a skull? And I know they will throw the white plastic head of a horse on my desk into a rubbish bag without a thought, never knowing that it is the only piece remaining from the first chess set I owned. It is me at age twelve.
But the final decisions are left to those who know us least — our children. I was the closest to my father and knew him well; however, only when I was going through his study did I learn he had collected picture postcards of hotels. What was I to do with all the objects that had been him? The sad part of me wanted to put everything in my car and take it home. The rational won, however, and I filled rubbish bags with old newspapers, magazines, apologizing to his spirit as I did. I could not throw out the thousands of pictures he had taken on his travels. I brought the pictures home, though I will never look at them. I brought twelve boxes of my father home.
I look at the objects that are my life and the only way my children can satisfy me is by not touching a thing. But they must if I am to go on with my death. And I wonder how many boxes of me will my children keep? I look at these objects that are me and know, too, that they are symbols of how alone I and each of us is, for no one knows what any object means except he or she who owns it. Every object of our lives is a memory, and emotion surrounds around it, hiding and protecting a tiny truth of the heart. Only I have the memories of when and how each one was obtained; I look at the objects that are me, and the memories are warm and permeated (弥漫) with love.
27.Why does the writer keep the plastic head of a horse?
A.Because his father gave it to him as a gift.
B.Because it makes him a very good chess player.
C.Because it brings back memories of his childhood.
D.Because he accepted it as a prize for a competition.
28.How did the writer deal with the remaining objects of his father after he died?
A.He threw everything away.
B.He saved some of the worthless objects.
C.He took some of them to his own house.
D.He sorted them and put them into good order.
29.What do we know about the writer?
A.He is very strict with his children.
B.He prefers to collect different skulls.
C.He relies on his children to deal with his possessions.
D.He knows more about his father after his father died.
30.According to the last paragraph, the objects we save ________.
A.serve as the symbols of our social class B.are reminders of past experiences
C.are quite expensive and valuable D.make us proud of ourselves
【答案】27.C 28.C 29.C 30.B
【导语】这是一篇记叙文,文章是作者在收拾去世的父亲的物品时的感悟。
27.细节理解题。根据第一段中“And I know they will throw the white plastic head of a horse on my desk into a rubbish bag without a thought, never knowing that it is the only piece remaining from the first chess set I owned. It is me at age twelve. (我知道他们会不假思索地把我桌子上的白色塑料马头扔进垃圾袋,而他们不知道这是我拥有的第一副国际象棋中唯一剩下的棋子。这是我十二岁的时候)”可知,作者保留塑料马头是因为它会让作者想起童年时的回忆,故选C。
28.细节理解题。根据第二段最后一句“I brought the pictures home, though I will never look at them. I brought twelve boxes of my father home.(我把照片带回家了,虽然我永远不会看它们。我带了十二盒爸爸的东西回家)”可知,作者把爸爸的一些东西带回了自己家,故选C。
29.细节理解题。根据第二段中“But the final decisions are left to those who know us least — our children. (但最终的决定权还是留给那些最不了解我们的人——我们的孩子)”和最后一段中“And I wonder how many boxes of me will my children keep?(我想知道我的孩子会保留多少个关于我的盒子呢?)”可知,作者依靠他的孩子们来处理他的物品,故选C。

【2024届北京市中国人民大学附属中学高三三模考试英语试卷】
Is it possible to persuade mankind to live without war? War is an ancient institution, which has occurred ever since men were organized into units larger than the family. In the past human race managed to survive it. Why should it not continue to survive even if wars go on occurring from time to time? Moreover, people like war, and will feel frustrated without it. And without war there will be no adequate opportunity for heroism or self-sacrifice.
Modem technology has changed this. Either man will abolish war, or war will abolish man. For the present, it is nuclear weapons that cause the most serious danger, but bacteriological or chemical weapons may, before long, offer an even greater threat. If we succeed in abolishing nuclear weapons, our work will not be done. It will never be done until we have succeeded in abolishing war. To do this, we need to persuade mankind to look upon international questions in a new way, not as contests of force, in which the victory goes to the side which is most skillful in killing people, but by arbitration (通过仲裁) in accordance with agreed principles of law. It is not easy to change very old mental habits, but this is what must be attempted.
There are those who say that the adoption of this or that ideology (意识形态) would prevent war. I believe this to be a big error. All ideologies are based upon dogmatic (武断的) statements that are, at best, doubtful, and at worst, totally false. Their followers believe in them so fanatically that they are willing to go to war in support of them.
The movement of world opinion during the past few years has been very largely such as we can welcome. It has become a commonplace that nuclear war must be avoided. Of course very difficult problems remain in the world, but the spirit in which they are being approached is a better one than it was some years ago. It has begun to be thought, even by the powerful men who decide whether we shall live or die, that negotiations should reach agreements even if both sides do not find these agreements wholly satisfactory. It has begun to be understood that the important conflict nowadays is not between different countries, but between man and the atom bomb.
31.From the passage we can learn that war now is ______.
A.as bad as in the past B.worse than in the past
C.as necessary as in the past D.not so dangerous as in the past
32.What does the underlined sentence in Paragraph 2 probably mean?
A.Men, as well as war, will have to make the ultimate choice between the two.
B.Modern technology has empowered man to choose whether to have war or not.
C.At least 6,000 years later, man has finally decided to abandon war once and for all.
D.People will eventually destroy themselves if they choose to go to war at modern times.
33.As for ideology, what does the author intend to tell us?
A.Certain ideology is superior regarding its truthfulness.
B.It is useless to adopt an ideology to prevent war.
C.Not every ideology is not worth fighting for.
D.It is wrong to follow any ideology.
34.Which would be the best title for the passage?
A.War or No War, That Is A Question
B.Nuclear Weapons Bring the End of Human Race
C.Towards a Future Without War: A Call for Global Arbitration
D.From Ideology to Negotiation: A New Approach to International Conflicts
【答案】31.B 32.D 33.B 34.C
【导语】本文是一篇议论文。在当前的国际形势之下,作者阐述人类应该以一种新的方式看待国际问题,而不是把它看作武力的较量。这种方式就是通过根据公认的法律原则进行仲裁。
31.推理判断题。根据文章第二段“Modem technology has changed this”(现代科技改变了这一点)以及“For the present, it is nuclear weapons that cause the most serious danger, but bacteriological or chemical weapons may, before long, offer an even greater threat.”(目前,造成最严重危险的是核武器,但不久之后,细菌或化学武器可能带来更大的威胁。)可推知,现在的战争比过去更糟糕。故选B。
32.词句猜测题。根据文章第二段“Either man will abolish war, or war will abolish man. For the present, it is nuclear weapons that cause the most serious danger, but bacteriological or chemical weapons may, before long, offer an even greater threat. If we succeed in abolishing nuclear weapons, our work will not be done. It will never be done until we have succeeded in abolishing war. ”(要么人会消灭战争,要么战争会消灭人。目前,造成最严重危险的是核武器,但细菌或化学武器不久可能会带来更大的威胁。如果我们成功地废除了核武器,我们的工作也还没有完成。除非我们成功地废除了战争,否则这是永远不会实现的。)可知,只有成功废除战争,才能算做完成人类的工作,由此可推知,如果人们选择在现代进行战争,他们最终将自我毁灭。故选D。
33.细节理解题。根据文章第三段“All ideologies are based upon dogmatic (武断的) statements that are, at best, doubtful, and at worst, totally false. Their followers believe in them so fanatically that they are willing to go to war in support of them.”(所有的意识形态都建立在武断的陈述之上,往好了说,这些陈述是可疑的,往坏了说,这些陈述是完全错误的。他们的追随者如此狂热地相信他们,以至于他们愿意为了支持他们而去打仗。)可推知,采用意识形态来防止战争是无用的。故选B。
34.主旨大意题。根据全文内容,特别是第二段“To do this, we need to persuade mankind to look upon international questions in a new way, not as contests of force, in which the victory goes to the side which is most skillful in killing people, but by arbitration (通过仲裁) in accordance with agreed principles of law .”(要做到这一点,我们需要说服人类以一种新的方式看待国际问题,而不是将其视为武力的较量,在这种较量中,胜利属于最善于杀人的一方,而是通过根据商定的法律原则进行仲裁。)可知,作者呼吁人们以新的方式看待国际问题,通过仲裁来解决问题,以此来废除战争,因此,C选项“Towards a Future Without War: A Call for Global Arbitration”(走向无战争的未来:全球仲裁的呼吁)最能概括全文内容。故选C。

Art Builds Understanding
Despite the long history of scholarship on experiences of art, researchers have yet to capture and understand the most meaningful aspects of such experiences, including the thoughts and insights we gain when we visit a museum, the sense of encounter after seeing a meaningful work of art, or the changed thinking after experiences with art. These powerful encounters can be inspiring, uplifting, and contribute to well-being and flourishing.
35 It contributes to facilitating a better understanding of ourselves, the human condition, and moral and spiritual concepts. The question is how that happens — what are the attributes of meaningful experiences of art?
According to the mirror model of art developed by Pablo P. L. Tinio, aesthetic reception corresponds to artistic creation in a mirror-reversed fashion. Artists aim to express ideas and messages about the human condition or the world at large. 36 This results in the build-up of layers of materials — from initial studies and sketches to the final, refined piece. A viewer’s initial interaction with an artwork starts where the artist has left off. Their interaction first involves the processing surface features, such as color, texture, and the finishing touches applied by the artist during the final stages of the creative process. 37
In addition, art making and art viewing are connected by creative thinking. Research in a lab at Yale University shows that an educational program that uses art appreciation activities builds creative thinking skills. It showed that the more time visitors spent engaging with art and the more they reflected on it, the greater the correspondence with the artists’ intentions and ideas. 38
Correspondence in feeling and thinking suggests a transfer — between creator and viewer — of ideas, concepts, and emotions contained in the works of art. Art has the potential to communicate across space and time. 39 What it takes for this to happen is active engagement with art in contexts that facilitate this engagement, especially museums.
A.The viewers gain a new perspective on the story.
B.The theory of aesthetic cognitivism describes the value of art.
C.This helps to create connections and insights that otherwise would not happen.
D.To do so, they explore key ideas and continually expand them as they develop their work.
E.After spending more time with the work, the viewer begins to access the ideas of the artist.
F.For example, in one activity, people are asked to view a work of art from different perspectives.
G.Participants were more original in their thinking when compared to those who did not take part in the program.
【答案】35.B 36.D 37.E 38.G 39.C
【导语】本文是一篇议论文。文章讨论了艺术给人们带来的启示和影响。当人们第一次见到一件艺术作品时,我们的经历和感情或许会和它发生链接,从而影响或改变我们的想法,提高思想境界,但是这是如何发生的呢?文章就这个问题进行了讨论。
35.下文“It contributes to facilitating a better understanding of ourselves, the human condition, and moral and spiritual concepts. (它有助于促进更好地了解我们自己,人类的条件,道德和精神观念)”开头出现一个代词it,说明它指代的内容出现在设空处;结合下文“The question is how that happens — what are the attributes of meaningful experiences of art?(问题是这是如何发生的——有意义的艺术体验的属性是什么?)”可知本段阐述了艺术在认知方面的价值:有助于促进更好地了解我们自己,人类的状况,道德和精神观念;B选项“The theory of aesthetic cognitivism describes the value of art.(审美认知主义理论描述了艺术的价值)”起到引领下文的作用,符合语境;下文中的“It”指代选项中的“art”,下文中的“understanding of ourselves, the human condition, and moral and spiritual concepts”属于“认知主义(cognitivism)”范畴的内容。故选B项。
36.上文“Artists aim to express ideas and messages about the human condition or the world at large.(艺术家的目标是表达关于人类状况或整个世界的想法和信息。) ”说明艺术家的目标是表达关于人类状况或整个世界的想法和信息;D选项“To do so, they explore key ideas and continually expand them as they develop their work.(为了做到这一点,他们探索关键的想法,并在工作发展过程中不断扩展这些想法)”承接上文,阐述了艺术家表达关于人类状况或整个世界的想法和信息的途径;下文“This results in the build-up of layers of materials—from initial studies and sketches to the final, refined piece. (这促成了材料层的积累——从最初的研究和草图到最终的精致作品。)”承接D选项,指出探索并不断扩展关键的想法促成了材料层的积累,下文中的“This”指代选项中的“explore key ideas and continually expand them”;由此可知,D选项符合语境。故选D项。
37.根据上文“Their interaction first involves the processing surface features, such as color, texture, and the finishing touches applied by the artist during the final stages of the creative process. (他们的互动首先涉及到处理表面特征,如颜色、纹理,以及艺术家在创作过程的最后阶段所应用的收尾工作)”可知,观众和艺术家的互动分为两个阶段,开始是欣赏表象内容,比如颜色,纹理等,接下来表达的意思应该就是深入了解一段时间后,观众可以理解艺术背后的观念,E选项“After spending more time with the work, the viewer begins to access the ideas of the artist.(在花更多的时间欣赏作品后,观众开始了解艺术家的想法。)”符合题意,故选E项。
38.根据上文“Research in a lab at Yale University shows that an educational program that uses art appreciation activities builds creative thinking skills. (耶鲁大学一个实验室的研究表明,利用艺术欣赏活动的教育项目可以培养创造性思维能力)”可知,耶鲁大学开展的一个研究项目表明使用了艺术欣赏活动的教育项目可以培养创造性思维能力;G选项“Participants were more original in their thinking when compared to those who did not take part in the program.(与没有参加该项目的人相比,参与者的想法更有独创性)”承接上文,继续阐述这项研究发现艺术欣赏活动有助于培养创造性思维能力;选项中“the program”指代前文中的“an educational program”,“original in their thinking”与上文“creative thinking skills”表达意思一致。故选G项。
39.上文“Art has the potential to communicate across space and time.(艺术具有跨越时空交流的潜力。)”指出艺术具有跨越时空交流的潜力;C选项“This helps to create connections and insights that otherwise would not happen.(这有助于建立其他方式不会发生的联系和见解。)”承接上文,说明艺术跨越时空交流的潜力有助于建立联系和了解,这是其他方式无法达到的。选项中的“This”指代上文“the potential to communicate across space and time”。故选C项。

Shared Services Need More Imagination
Suppose you need to drill a hole in the wall to hang an item but do not own a power drill. You may regard it as expensive to buy a power drill and consider renting one. Sharing is the solution. The sharing industry is an emerging. highly flexible economic network that allows people to share resources, either free or for a fee.
The important idea of the sharing industry is that people might only need an item for a relatively short period. The private part of shared services has been moving towards this area since the beginning of the 1980s, and then the public part has taken note of the benefits and continued for best practice. The United States and Australia among others have had shared services in government since the late 1990s.
With the rise of the sharing industry, the best-known shared bikes and shared cars have got a lot of public attention. This kind of transportation is so environmentally-friendly that it is increasingly popular among people in many cities.
Of course shared services don’t need to be limited to machines. The real pay-off in shared services probably lies in renting out smaller, less heavy items. For example, in today’s casual environment, you don’t need a tie unless you’re going to a wedding or a job interview. So some companies, would let you pick up a tie when you needed it and only when you needed it. Another example is an umbrella-sharing service. Since visitors don’t want to be carrying umbrellas all the way, it would be cheaper and easier to simply borrow an umbrella on one street corner and drop it off on another.
Recently organizations that have centralized their IT functions have begun to take a close look at the technology services that their IT departments provide for customers, evaluating where it makes sense to provide technology components. E-mall and scanning (归描) operations were obvious early candidates. Many organizations are now oftering their document-intensive operations is a shared service, There is no doubt that people are calling for the expansion of shared services to more and more treas.
40.What is the sharing industry?
41.Why does shared transportation receive attention from people?
42.Please decide which part is false in the following statement, then underline it and explain why.
Shared services are getting increasingly popular for their convenience, but there are still calls for expansion to wider areas because they are currently restricted to machines
43.Please provide another example of shared services and explain your reason. (about 40 words)
【答案】40.The sharing industry is an economic network that allows people to share resources, either free or for a fee. 41.Because it offers environmentally-friendly means of transportation to people in cities. 42.because they are currently restricted to machines .According to the passage, presently shared services include not only machines but also smaller, less heavy items such as ties and umbrellas. 43.Sharing books is a good type of shared services. People can share and read the books they like without pay or only a little money, so that they will improve their knowledge and enrich their life. Thus, I think it’s well worth spreading.
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章谈论了热点话题“共享经济”,解释了“共享经济”的定义、重要性、受欢迎的原因。
40.考查细节理解。根据文章第一段最后“The sharing industry is an emerging. highly flexible economic network that allows people to share resources, either free or for a fee.(共享产业是一个新兴产业。高度灵活的经济网络,允许人们免费或收费共享资源。)”可知,共享产业的定义就是指,它是一个新兴的、高度灵活的经济网络,允许人们免费或收费共享资源。故答案为The sharing industry is an economic network that allows people to share resources, either free or for a fee.

42.考查细节理解。根据文章第四段“Of course shared services don’t need to be limited to machines. The real pay-off in shared services probably lies in renting out smaller, less heavy items.(当然,共享服务不需要局限于机器。共享服务的真正回报可能在于出租更小、更轻的物品。)”可知,共享服务不会局限于机器。所以“they are currently restricted to machines.”要划上下划线。故答案为According to the passage, presently shared services include not only machines but also smaller, less heavy items such as ties and umbrellas.
43.考查开放性试题。答题时应先举出文中没有提到的一个共享服务的例子,再解释原因。故答案为Sharing books is a good type of shared services. People can share and read the books they like without pay or with only a little money, so that they will improve their knowledge and enrich their life. Thus I think it is well worth spreading.
