During the 19th and 20th centuries, Qi Baishi (1864 — 1957) was one of the best-known Chinese artists. He grew up in a poor peasant family, but this did not prevent him from pursuing his interest in painting.
Qi was schooled for less than a year due to illness, and he dropped out of school. However, he was too weak to do much of the work and this was why he became a carpenter. As a carpenter, he showed his creativity. He could carve figures of animals, woodblock prints, and sniff- boxes. At the age of 20, he taught himself to paint with Mustard Seed Garden Manual of Painting. He met many mentors who greatly influenced his painting skills through his painting journey, among whom are the renowned artists Zhu Da and Xu Wei. When he was 28, he became a student of the famous artist Hu Qinyuan, and he began to study Chinese painting.
Qi arrived in Beijing in 1917. While he was in Beijing, he stayed devoted to painting. Most of his paintings represented Chinese tradition. Qi’s works are now found in several famous museums, including the National Gallery Prague and the Hermitage in St. Petersburg. His works now are the most expensive ever sold at auctions.
Qi got noticed by many institutions, one of which is the Ministry of Culture. In 1956, he was awarded the World Peace Prize by the World Peace Council. A college was also named after him, the Baishi School of Art at Hunan University of Science Technology.

Scientists say they have had a “conversation” with a whale. They also say the talk could help them to one day talk to aliens. The scientists are from the University of California, the Alaska Whale Foundation, and SETI (Search for Extra- terrestrial Intelligence).
The three organizations teamed up and spoke to a humpback whale named Twain. They spoke to her in “humpback language” for 20 minutes. Their conversation took place after the scientists sent a “contact call” into the ocean off the coast of Alaska. Twain heard the call and answered. She swam to the research boat and talked. SETI said it was the first ever communication between humans and humpback whales.
The scientists say their conversation with Twain was not a deep one. Professor Brenda McCowan said it was more like a series of greetings. Whales use contact calls to let other whales know where they are. The scientists made the same call 36 times over a 20- minute period. Each time, Twain answered by calling back. She even matched the intervals (间隔) between each call the researchers made.
Professor McCowan told the Business Insider website that her research could make it easier to talk to aliens. She said: “There are all kinds of intelligences (智能生物) on this planet. By studying them, we can better understand what an alien intelligence might be like because they are not going to be exactly like ours.”
42. Why did the researchers have a “conversation” with Twain?
A They wanted to better understand humpback whales.
B. They wanted to solve the problem of ocean pollution.
C. They hoped to talk to aliens one day.
D. They wanted to contact alien intelligence by Twain.
43. What can we infer from the text?
A. The researchers went down to the ocean to have a conversation with Twain.
B. Humans never communicated with humpback whales before.
C. Scientists got a lot of information about alien s through Twain.
D. Twain missed contact calls from scientists several times.
44. How does McCowan think of the research to the humpback whales?
A. Helpful. B. Useless. C. Influential. D. Successful.
45. What is the best title of the passage?
A. Are There Aliens in the World? B. A Conversation With A Whale
C. A Talking Humpback Whale D. The Relationship Between Whales and Aliens

【30题详解】
考查名词。句意:与这一丰富的传统相一致,吉祥物体现了吉祥,平安和幸福的吉祥含义。空格处用名词作宾语,happy的名词是happiness,意为“幸福”,是不可数名词。故填happiness。

推理判断题。根据文章第一段中“During the 19th and 20th centuries, Qi Baishi (1864-1957) was one of the best- known Chinese artists. He grew up in a poor peasant family, but this did not prevent him from pursuing his interest in painting.(在19世纪和20世纪,齐白石(1864-1957)是中国最著名的艺术家之一。他成长在一个贫穷的农民家庭,但这并没有阻止他追求对绘画的兴趣)”、第二段中“At the age of 20, he taught himself to paint with Mustard Seed Garden Manual of Painting.(20岁时,他自学了《芥子园画谱》来画画)”和“When he was 28, he became a student of the famous artist Hu Qinyuan, and he began to study Chinese painting.(当他28岁时,他成为了著名艺术家胡沁园的学生,开始学习中国画)”、第三段“Qi arrived in Beijing in 1917.(1917年,齐白石来到北京)”可推知,文章按照时间顺序介绍了齐白石的生平经历和艺术成就,故作者主要按照时间顺序来展开文章的。故选D项。
C
Scientists say they have had a “conversation” with a whale. They also say the talk could help them to one day talk to aliens. The scientists are from the University of California, the Alaska Whale Foundation, and SETI (Search for Extra- terrestrial Intelligence).
The three organizations teamed up and spoke to a humpback whale named Twain. They spoke to her in “humpback language” for 20 minutes. Their conversation took place after the scientists sent a “contact call” into the ocean off the coast of Alaska. Twain heard the call and answered. She swam to the research boat and talked. SETI said it was the first ever communication between humans and humpback whales.
The scientists say their conversation with Twain was not a deep one. Professor Brenda McCowan said it was more like a series of greetings. Whales use contact calls to let other whales know where they are. The scientists made the same call 36 times over a 20- minute period. Each time, Twain answered by calling back. She even matched the intervals (间隔) between each call the researchers made.
Professor McCowan told the Business Insider website that her research could make it easier to talk to aliens. She said: “There are all kinds of intelligences (智能生物) on this planet. By studying them, we can better understand what an alien intelligence might be like because they are not going to be exactly like ours.”
42. Why did the researchers have a “conversation” with Twain?
A. They wanted to better understand humpback whales.
B. They wanted to solve the problem of ocean pollution.
C. They hoped to talk to aliens one day.
D. They wanted to contact alien intelligence by Twain.
43. What can we infer from the text?
A. The researchers went down to the ocean to have a conversation with Twain.
B. Humans never communicated with humpback whales before.
C. Scientists got a lot of information about alien s through Twain.
D. Twain missed contact calls from scientists several times.
44. How does McCowan think of the research to the humpback whales?
A. Helpful. B. Useless. C. Influential. D. Successful.
45. What is the best title of the passage?
A. Are There Aliens in the World? B. A Conversation With A Whale
C. A Talking Humpback Whale D. The Relationship Between Whales and Aliens
【答案】42. C 43. B 44. A 45. B
【解析】

细节理解题。根据文章第一段“Scientists say they have had a “conversation” with a whale. They also say the talk could help them to one day talk to aliens. The scientists are from the University of California, the Alaska Whale Foundation, and SETI (Search for Extra- terrestrial Intelligence).(科学家称他们与鲸鱼进行了一次“对话”。他们还表示,这种谈话可以帮助他们有一天与外星人交谈。这些科学家来自加州大学、阿拉斯加鲸鱼基金会和SETI(搜寻地外智慧))”以及第二段“The three organizations teamed up and spoke to a humpback whale named Twain.(这三个组织联合起来,与一头名叫Twain的座头鲸交谈)”可知,研究人员与Twain进行“对话”是希望有一天能与外星人交流。故选C项。
【43题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第二段“SETI said it was the first ever communication between humans and humpback whales.(SETI表示,这是人类和座头鲸之间的第一次交流)”可推知,人类以前从未与座头鲸交流过。故选B项。

推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“Professor McCowan told the Business Insider website that her research could make it easier to talk to aliens. She said: “There are all kinds of intelligences (智能生物) on this planet. By studying them, we can better understand what an alien intelligence might be like because they are not going to be exactly like ours.”(McCowan教授告诉《商业内幕》网站,她的研究可以让我们更容易与外星人交谈。她说:“这个星球上有各种各样的智能生物。通过研究它们,我们可以更好地了解外星智能可能是什么样子,因为它们不会和我们的完全一样。”)”可知,McCowan认为这项研究是有帮助的。故选A项。
【45题详解】
主旨大意题。根据文章第一段“Scientists say they have had a “conversation” with a whale. They also say the talk could help them to one day talk to aliens. The scientists are from the University of California, the Alaska Whale Foundation, and SETI (Search for Extra- terrestrial Intelligence).(科学家称他们与鲸鱼进行了一次“对话”。他们还表示,这种谈话可以帮助他们有一天与外星人交谈。这些科学家来自加州大学、阿拉斯加鲸鱼基金会和SETI(搜寻地外智慧))”以及通读全文可知,文章主要讲述了科学家与一只名为Twain的座头鲸进行了一次“对话”,所以B项“A Conversation With A Whale(与鲸鱼的对话)”是本文最好的标题。故选B项。
