These artworks, capturing scenes such as the dynamic French fencer Ysaora Thibus and the calm boaters on the Seine River, have made a lasting impression on people. 巴黎以迸发的创造力拥抱奥林匹克精神，近 30 件色彩缤纷的街头艺术作品将这座城市变成了一个露天画廊。这些作品捕捉了充满活力的法国击剑手 Ysaora Thibus 和塞纳河上平静的划船者等场景，给人们留下了深刻的印象。 Street artists come from different countries. Their pieces not only capture the essence of Parisian life, from the busy coffee shops to the charming bookstores, but also extend to airports in Lille, Lyon, and Marseille. These cities are co-hosting some of the Olympic events.  街头艺术家来自不同的国家。他们的作品不仅捕捉了巴黎生活的精髓，从繁忙的咖啡店到迷人的书店，而且还延伸到里尔、里昂和马赛的机场。这些城市正在共同举办一些奥林匹克赛事。 Street art bridges the gap between high culture and everyday life, making art accessible to everyone. It promotes shared appreciation, inspiring conversations in public spaces like subway stations and airports and encouraging interaction among people of different backgrounds. 街头艺术弥合了高雅文化和日常生活之间的鸿沟，让每个人都能接触到艺术。它促进共同的欣赏，激发地铁站和机场等公共场所的对话，并鼓励不同背景的人们之间的互动。 The Olympics follow strict guidelines and show national spirit, while street art is freer and shows many different cultures from the community. Despite their differences, both the Olympic spirit and the world of art share a common platform of values that celebrate the pursuit (追求) of excellence, encouraging individuals to reach their highest potential. Creativity and innovation are central to both, driving artists to create with every brushstroke and athletes to excel in every performance as they both explore new heights of achievement. 奥运会遵循严格的指导方针并展示民族精神，而街头艺术则更自由，展示了社区的许多不同文化。尽管存在差异，但奥林匹克精神和艺术界都有一个共同的价值观平台，即颂扬追求卓越，鼓励个人发挥最大潜力。创造力和创新是两者的核心，它推动艺术家用每一笔进行创作，推动运动员在每一次表演中都表现出色，因为他们都在探索新的成就高度。 Art competitions first appeared at the Olympics in 1912 in Stockholm, with medals awarded in five categories: architecture, literature, music, painting and sculpture. However, the International Olympic Committee ended the competitions in the 1948 Games. Now, the spirit of the Olympics is reflected in the street art that brightens every corner of Paris. “Artists are like athletes. They also require a lot of effort and determination,” said JonOne, who is a pioneer of street art. “I respect athletes in basketball and runners. Art is not really a sport, but it should be included in the Olympics. Just surviving as an artist is an Olympic sport.” 艺术比赛于 1912 年在斯德哥尔摩奥运会上首次出现，奖牌分为五个类别：建筑、文学、音乐、绘画和雕塑。然而，国际奥林匹克委员会在 1948 年奥运会上结束了比赛。现在，奥林匹克精神体现在点亮巴黎每个角落的街头艺术中。“艺术家就像运动员。他们也需要大量的努力和决心，“街头艺术的先驱 JonOne 说。“我尊重篮球运动员和跑步运动员。艺术不是一项真正的运动，但它应该被纳入奥运会。作为一名艺术家生存就是一项奥林匹克运动。 文章导读 法国当地时间8月11日晚，塞纳河畔的巴黎以一场流动的盛宴为历时16天的奥运狂欢画上了圆满的句号。这届奥运会创造了太多不可思议。从天马行空的想象力展示，到突破传统的多元文化呈现，不仅掀起了竞技体育的热浪，而且带来了一场视觉与情感的双重体验。从广场上大屏幕的赛事直播，到咖啡馆里顾客们对比赛结果的热烈讨论，巴黎的街头巷尾都洋溢着对奥运的关注与热爱。其中，街头艺术更是以其独有的方式捕捉了巴黎生活的真实面貌，将奥运精神传递给了每一位市民和游客。 知识拓展 The Seine River塞纳河是法国的一条重要河流，它不仅是巴黎的母亲河，也是法国文化和经济发展的重要推动力。河的两岸有许多著名的建筑和景点，如埃菲尔铁塔、卢浮宫、巴黎圣母院等。塞纳河在文学、艺术和电影中经常被提及，是法国文化的一个重要象征。 文章生词 · embrace vt. & vi. 拥抱vt. 包括；包含 接受 信奉，皈依 n. 拥抱，怀抱 · spirit n. 精神；心灵；志气；烈酒；情绪 vt. 鼓励；鼓舞；诱拐 · burst vt. & vi. 爆炸，爆裂 突然打开 n. 爆炸，爆裂；爆发，突发 · capture vt. 俘获；夺得 n. 战利品，俘虏；捕获 · dynamic adj. 动态的；动力的；动力学的；有活力的 n. 动态；动力 · essence n. 本质，实质；精华；香精 · charming adj. 迷人的；可爱的 v. 使陶醉 · extend vt. & vi.

Turning to the right, you see a Sichuan-style restaurant. After walking into a store, you see that Huawei smartphones are on sale. But you're not in China—you're in Manchester in Britain. In fact, you might see similar things in many other cities. Chinese products have been going all over the world. Chinese food has been enjoyed in Western countries for a long time. To meet local people's tastes, Chinese restaurants have made some changes to the dishes. "One example is the meat," said Yin Hang, a Chinese student who is studying in Australia. "We like to eat meat with the bones (骨头) in, but people here don't. So the local Chinese restaurants provide big pieces of meat without bones, even for fish." Some Chinese brands are also becoming more popular. It is reported that in many cities in Europe, many stores sell TCL televisions, Haier fridges and Lenovo computers. More than half of US-owned drones (无人机) are Chinese models, according to China Daily. They're not only made in China, but also designed and developed in the country. In the past, most Western people thought Chinese products were cheap and unreliable. But now, things have changed greatly. More people trust Chinese brands. "Made in China" becomes cool. "They are beautiful and offer something special that American phones don't have," an article on CNN once said about Chinese smartphones. As it is said, Chinese government has been trying its best to improve its national brands of all kinds to meet the needs of modern life. （1）According to the passage，___________.

But have you ever thought about the history of the schoolbag? In the Han Dynasty, students in old-style private schools used bamboo boxes to carry books to school. People consider the bamboo boxes to be the earliest schoolbags. There were usually two or three layers in the box. Kids put different things like books, brushes, ink stones and paper in the boxes. Hundreds of years later, people developed a new kind of schoolbag called the budai, or the "hippocket". The budai was lighter than the bamboo box. With the founding (成立) of the People's Republic of China, military rucksacks became popular. Many people carried them when they were at school. Ask your grandparents or parents about these bags. Maybe they can tell you about their experiences of carrying them when they were at school. A new style of schoolbags has appeared in recent years. Many of them have colorful and fashionable designs on them, such as pictures of cartoons or pop stars. And they are more comfortable to use. Some students pull wheeled bags filled with heavy textbooks and others carry backpacks. Schoolbags are still changing. Can you imagine what future schoolbags will be like? 1．Schoolbags in the Han Dynasty were made of . A．cloth B．paper C．plastic D．bamboo 2．Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?

It may not be a cloud，but a Flogo-a logo that flies. It's a new form of advertising in the sky that's never been used before. It's a different way to market your products，logos，and events. These funny logos are made with soap bubbles mixed with a little helium（氦气），which makes them lighter than air and float in the sky. Special machines are used to make these new funny Flogos. The machine, which can be rented for $2,500 a day, can make a Flogo every 15-25 seconds. Flogos can fly much higher or lower if needed. They can last from a few minutes to an hour anywhere in the sky, depending on the weather conditions. Though they can fly up to 20,000 feet, they usually float around at 300-500 feet. Flogos are only white now, but people hope to have more colorful Flogos in the near future. Flogos are green, 100% environmentally safe, because the soap used to make the Flogo comes from plants and leaves. So this fun way of advertising is healthy and good for the environment. 1．Flogos are mainly used to ________ . A．advertise in the sky B．make funny bubbles C．improve weather conditions D．make colorful clouds 2．Why are Flogos healthy and good for the environment? A．Because they can float high and last for a long time in the sky. B．Because there is a little helium mixed with soap bubbles. C．Because the machines used to make them are special and expensive. D．Because the soap used to make them comes from plants and leaves. 3．From the passage, we can infer that Flogos ________ . A．can fly for hours in the sky all day B．can have different colors at present C．may be influenced by the weather D．may be the cheapest way of advertising 4．Which of the following can be the best title of the passage? A．Machines-Used for Flogos! B．Flogos-Logos that Fly! C．Advertising-Made of Fruits! D．Clouds-like Mickey Mouse! Passage E The post-1990s generation is often described as self-centered and always asking for help. However, research results have painted a rather different picture. The post-1990s generation is independent, strong-minded and hard-working, according to a Peking University report. When it comes to learning and working, over 60 percent think their own interests are more important than others' opinions. Most of them see successful businessmen as their idols（偶像）. But it's not because they are rich. "Their strong belief in themselves and never-give-up spirit have won the hearts of the generation," the report said. In addition, the post-1990s generation has a strong sense of social responsibility. Many of them have taken part in volunteer work. They also try to be responsible by studying hard. In the UK, many of the post-1990s generation have given up the drinking habits that the past generations had, The Telegraph noted. Most of them now have healthier hobbies, such as knitting（编织）and cooking. "It's hard to find time for a hobby if you are going out drinking, "Kate Payne, author of The Hip Girl's Guide to Homemaking, told The Telegraph. Changes in their hobbies have also helped them learn good manners. The 2013 Youth Justice Statistics report in the UK showed that young people are less rude and noisy in public. However, a generation's traits don't belong to every single person in it. "It's what you do that can make you the kind of person you want to be, "said Cheng Dongfeng, director of the Youth Ideological and Moral Education Center of West Anhui University. 1．How is the post-1990s generation often described? A．Independent. B．Self-centered. C．Open-minded. D．Hard-working. 2．According to the report, what does the post-1990s generation think is more important when it comes to learning and working? A．Friends' support. B．Parents' suggestions. C．Their own interests. D．Teachers' advice. 3．Why does the post-1990s generation see successful businessmen as their idols? A．Because they are rich. B．Because they are clever. C．Because they are confident. D．Because they are brave. 4．Which of the following describes young people in the UK? A．They are rude and noisy in public. B．They have healthier hobbies now. C．They enjoy going out drinking. D．They receive a better education. 5．What is the passage mainly about? A．How the post-1990s generation sees themselves. B．How the post-1990s generation develops good habits. C．Why the post-1990s generation changes so much. D．What the post-1990s generation is really like. Passage F The umbrella is a very （1） object.

Over these tombs they built pyramids. They thought their bodies would be well kept in these tombs 　18． 　they could come back to life. There are about 80 pyramids in Egypt. But the Great Pyramid is 　19． 　 (big) of all. It is nearly 5,000 years old. It 　20． 　(make) of 2,300,000 huge stones. Some weigh as much as fifteen tons. It 　21． 　(take) more than 100,000 men twenty years to build it. When you look at the pyramids, you can't help wondering how the Egyptians 　22． 　(be) able to build them thousands of years ago.

When the kings had the pyramids built 　25． 　them, they perhaps never, 　26． 　(think) this would happen. Passage H The products that are labeled (贴标签) with the words "Made in China" can be seen everywhere all over the world. Once these products were very popular around the world for the low price and excellent quality, but in most foreigners' eyes, they thought these products were low—end and of low quality. With the development of Chinese economy, the government is trying to improve its image (形象) . Creating our own brands is the best choice. And the government makes effort to improve the quality of our own brands in order to promote (提高) the international image. Lots of foreigners still think "Made in China" means cheap copycats (山寨货) . It's true that the influence of "Made in China" still can't be compared with that of Silicon Valley (硅谷) in America, but China has made great progress. The number of world-class companies from China has increased in past few years. The number of Chinese companies among the world top 500 has increased from 35 in 2018 to 129 in 2019. And many of them, such as Huawei and Alibaba, have great international influence. But to compete with the world's technological powers, we still have a long way to go. （1）Why were the products that are labeled with the words "Made in China" popular around the world? （2）What is the best choice to improve the image of "Made in China"? （3）Which companies of China have great international influence? （4）What is the number of Chinese companies among the world top 500 in 2019? （5）What did most foreigners think of the products made in China?

They also require a lot of effort and determination,” said JonOne, who is a pioneer of street art. “I respect athletes in basketball and runners. Art is not really a sport, but it should be included in the Olympics. Just surviving as an artist is an Olympic sport.” 艺术比赛于 1912 年在斯德哥尔摩奥运会上首次出现，奖牌分为五个类别：建筑、文学、音乐、绘画和雕塑。然而，国际奥林匹克委员会在 1948 年奥运会上结束了比赛。现在，奥林匹克精神体现在点亮巴黎每个角落的街头艺术中。“艺术家就像运动员。他们也需要大量的努力和决心，“街头艺术的先驱 JonOne 说。“我尊重篮球运动员和跑步运动员。艺术不是一项真正的运动，但它应该被纳入奥运会。作为一名艺术家生存就是一项奥林匹克运动。 文章导读 法国当地时间8月11日晚，塞纳河畔的巴黎以一场流动的盛宴为历时16天的奥运狂欢画上了圆满的句号。这届奥运会创造了太多不可思议。从天马行空的想象力展示，到突破传统的多元文化呈现，不仅掀起了竞技体育的热浪，而且带来了一场视觉与情感的双重体验。从广场上大屏幕的赛事直播，到咖啡馆里顾客们对比赛结果的热烈讨论，巴黎的街头巷尾都洋溢着对奥运的关注与热爱。其中，街头艺术更是以其独有的方式捕捉了巴黎生活的真实面貌，将奥运精神传递给了每一位市民和游客。 知识拓展 The Seine River塞纳河是法国的一条重要河流，它不仅是巴黎的母亲河，也是法国文化和经济发展的重要推动力。河的两岸有许多著名的建筑和景点，如埃菲尔铁塔、卢浮宫、巴黎圣母院等。塞纳河在文学、艺术和电影中经常被提及，是法国文化的一个重要象征。 文章生词 · embrace vt. & vi. 拥抱vt. 包括；包含 接受 信奉，皈依 n. 拥抱，怀抱 · spirit n. 精神；心灵；志气；烈酒；情绪 vt. 鼓励；鼓舞；诱拐 · burst vt. & vi. 爆炸，爆裂 突然打开 n. 爆炸，爆裂；爆发，突发 · capture vt. 俘获；夺得 n. 战利品，俘虏；捕获 · dynamic adj. 动态的；动力的；动力学的；有活力的 n. 动态；动力 · essence n. 本质，实质；精华；香精 · charming adj. 迷人的；可爱的 v. 使陶醉 · extend vt. & vi.

Generally, Scarlet Sails is celebrated in late June to congratulate high school graduates on the beginning of their new life journey as adults. Starting in 1968. the idea of the festival came from Alexander Grin's Scarlet Sails—a novel about love, dreams and hope. The first Scarlet Sails was attended by around 25,000 school graduates and became a hit. Since then.it has become more and more popular. It attracts visitors from all over the world every year. The celebrations of the festival start in the evening and mainly include two parts. The big concert in Dvortsovaya Square is only for school graduates with an invitation. However, considering its popularity,there is usually another stage on Vasilievsky Island where everyone can enjoy the concert. When the concert is over, people go to the Neva River for a light and water show. They can watch it along the banks or on the bridges. Fireworks, beautiful music and water shows last for about 30minutes. The festival reaches its highest point as a big ship with scarlet sails appears and makes its way across the river. It synchronizes its movements with the music and the other parts of the show. That means the crew(船员)must make sure the ship reaches every place on the exact second as it is planned. Visitors are often advised to come early to find a good position to enjoy the amazing beauty of everything! 1.Scarlet Sails is mainly held for____. A. all adults B. famous writers C.high school graduates D. new high school students 2.What can we learn about the festival? A.It takes place in summer. B. It has a history of 68 years.

B.Suggestions about traveling in Russia. C. Why Scarlet Sails is so popular. D.How people celebrate Scarlet Sails. 参考答案： 本文主要介绍了俄罗斯圣彼得堡的红帆节以及其相应的庆祝活动。 答案详析 .C 细节理解题。根据第二段中的“Generally,Scarlet Sails is celebrated in late June to congratulate high school graduates on the beginning of their new life journey as adults.”可知,红帆节主要是为高中毕业生举办的。 2.A细节理解题。根据第二段中的“Generally.Scarlet Sails is celebrated in late June”可知，红帆节举行的时间是在六月下旬，即在夏天。 3.C 细节理解题。根据第四段中的“there is usually another stage on Vasilievsky Island where everyone can enjoy the concert”可知，人们在瓦西里耶夫斯基岛上欣赏音乐会。根据第五段中的“When the concert is over，people go to the Neva River for a light and water show.”可知，音乐会结束后，人们会去涅瓦河观看灯光和水上表演。根据最后一段中的“The festival reaches its highest point as a big ship with scarlet sails appears and makes its way across the river.”可知，当一艘挂着红帆的大船穿过涅瓦河时，节日达到高潮。综上所述，红帆节的庆祝活动顺序是③①②。 4.B词义猜测题。根据画线词所在句的下一句可知，这意味着船员必须确保船只按计划在精确的一秒钟内到达每个地方；再根据画线词后的“its movements with the music and the other parts of the show”可知，船只是伴随着音乐和表演的其他部分移动的。由此可推知，船只是伴随着音乐精准地到达每个地方，故此处指船只的移动与音乐和表演的其他部分同步进行。 5.D主旨大意题。通读全文可知，本文主要介绍了俄罗斯圣彼得堡的红帆节的庆祝活动。因此，D项“人们如何庆祝红帆节”符合文章的主旨。 时文阅读 02—艺术家用冰演奏音乐 Do you play an instrument?

Turning to the right, you see a Sichuan-style restaurant. After walking into a store, you see that Huawei smartphones are on sale. But you're not in China—you're in Manchester in Britain. In fact, you might see similar things in many other cities. Chinese products have been going all over the world. Chinese food has been enjoyed in Western countries for a long time. To meet local people's tastes, Chinese restaurants have made some changes to the dishes. "One example is the meat," said Yin Hang, a Chinese student who is studying in Australia. "We like to eat meat with the bones (骨头) in, but people here don't. So the local Chinese restaurants provide big pieces of meat without bones, even for fish." Some Chinese brands are also becoming more popular. It is reported that in many cities in Europe, many stores sell TCL televisions, Haier fridges and Lenovo computers. More than half of US-owned drones (无人机) are Chinese models, according to China Daily. They're not only made in China, but also designed and developed in the country. In the past, most Western people thought Chinese products were cheap and unreliable. But now, things have changed greatly. More people trust Chinese brands. "Made in China" becomes cool. "They are beautiful and offer something special that American phones don't have," an article on CNN once said about Chinese smartphones.

They are a big part of our lives. But have you ever thought about the history of the schoolbag? In the Han Dynasty, students in old-style private schools used bamboo boxes to carry books to school. People consider the bamboo boxes to be the earliest schoolbags. There were usually two or three layers in the box. Kids put different things like books, brushes, ink stones and paper in the boxes. Hundreds of years later, people developed a new kind of schoolbag called the budai, or the "hippocket". The budai was lighter than the bamboo box. With the founding (成立) of the People's Republic of China, military rucksacks became popular. Many people carried them when they were at school. Ask your grandparents or parents about these bags. Maybe they can tell you about their experiences of carrying them when they were at school. A new style of schoolbags has appeared in recent years. Many of them have colorful and fashionable designs on them, such as pictures of cartoons or pop stars. And they are more comfortable to use.

It may not be a cloud，but a Flogo-a logo that flies. It's a new form of advertising in the sky that's never been used before. It's a different way to market your products，logos，and events. These funny logos are made with soap bubbles mixed with a little helium（氦气），which makes them lighter than air and float in the sky. Special machines are used to make these new funny Flogos. The machine, which can be rented for $2,500 a day, can make a Flogo every 15-25 seconds. Flogos can fly much higher or lower if needed. They can last from a few minutes to an hour anywhere in the sky, depending on the weather conditions. Though they can fly up to 20,000 feet, they usually float around at 300-500 feet. Flogos are only white now, but people hope to have more colorful Flogos in the near future. Flogos are green, 100% environmentally safe, because the soap used to make the Flogo comes from plants and leaves. So this fun way of advertising is healthy and good for the environment. 1．Flogos are mainly used to ________ . A．advertise in the sky B．make funny bubbles C．improve weather conditions D．make colorful clouds 2．Why are Flogos healthy and good for the environment?

However, research results have painted a rather different picture. The post-1990s generation is independent, strong-minded and hard-working, according to a Peking University report. When it comes to learning and working, over 60 percent think their own interests are more important than others' opinions. Most of them see successful businessmen as their idols（偶像）. But it's not because they are rich. "Their strong belief in themselves and never-give-up spirit have won the hearts of the generation," the report said. In addition, the post-1990s generation has a strong sense of social responsibility. Many of them have taken part in volunteer work. They also try to be responsible by studying hard. In the UK, many of the post-1990s generation have given up the drinking habits that the past generations had, The Telegraph noted. Most of them now have healthier hobbies, such as knitting（编织）and cooking. "It's hard to find time for a hobby if you are going out drinking, "Kate Payne, author of The Hip Girl's Guide to Homemaking, told The Telegraph. Changes in their hobbies have also helped them learn good manners. The 2013 Youth Justice Statistics report in the UK showed that young people are less rude and noisy in public. However, a generation's traits don't belong to every single person in it. "It's what you do that can make you the kind of person you want to be, "said Cheng Dongfeng, director of the Youth Ideological and Moral Education Center of West Anhui University. 1．How is the post-1990s generation often described?

B．They have healthier hobbies now. C．They enjoy going out drinking. D．They receive a better education. 5．What is the passage mainly about? A．How the post-1990s generation sees themselves. B．How the post-1990s generation develops good habits. C．Why the post-1990s generation changes so much. D．What the post-1990s generation is really like. 【答案】1．B 2．C 3．C 4．B 5．D 【解析】【分析】主要讲了90年代后一代通常被描述为以自我为中心，总是寻求帮助。然而，研究结果描绘了一幅完全不同的画面。北京大学的一份报告显示，90年代后的一代独立、坚强、勤奋。 1．细节题。根据The post-1990s generation is often described as self-centered可知90年代后一代通常被描述为以自我为中心，故选B。 2．细节题。根据When it comes to learning and working, over 60 percent think their own interests are more important than others' opinions.可知谈到学习和工作，60%以上的人认为自己的兴趣比别人的意见更重要，故选C。 3．细节题。根据Their strong belief in themselves and never-give-up spirit have won the hearts of the generation他们对自己的坚定信念和永不放弃的精神赢得了这一代人的心，可知原因是他们是自信的，故选C。 4．推断题。根据The 2013 Youth Justice Statistics report in the UK showed that young people are less rude and noisy in public.英国2013年青年司法统计报告显示，年轻人在公共场合不那么粗鲁和吵闹，可知他们有更健康的爱好，故选B。 5．主旨题。根据全文可知主要讲了90年代后一代通常被描述为以自我为中心，总是寻求帮助。然而，研究结果描绘了一幅完全不同的画面。北京大学的一份报告显示，90年代后的一代独立、坚强、勤奋。即90后是怎样的，故选D。 Passage F The umbrella is a very （1） object.
