When I was in college, an acquaintance who had graduated a few years ago came back to visit for the weekend. As we walked around campus on Saturday night, he flung his hands into the cold air and exclaimed, “You guys are so lucky; you live a minute away from all your friends. You’ll never have this again.”
At that time, I thought it was kind of sad — a grown man longing for my life of university housing and late library nights. But his words have stuck with me in the years since. “In adulthood, as people grow up and go away, friendships are the relationships most likely to suffer,” my colleague Julie Beck wrote in 2015. Therefore, the older you get, the more effort it takes to maintain connections, because you don’t have as many built-in opportunities to see your friends every day.
The writer Jennifer Senior noted last year that the fact of our choosing friendships makes them both fragile and special. “You have to continually involve. That you choose it is what gives it its value,” she wrote. But that’s also what makes friendships harder to hold on to as our lives evolve.
It’s hard but not impossible. Senior notes that when it comes to friendship, “we are ritual-deficient. So we have to create them: weekly phone calls, friendship anniversaries, road trips, and so on.”
“Friendship is the rare kind of relationship that remains forever available to us as we age,” Senior writes. “It’s a defender against stasis (停滞期), a potential source of creativity and revival in lives that otherwise narrow with time.” It’s something worth choosing, over and over again.
4. It can be inferred from Paragraph 1 that the writer’s friend probably felt _______.
A. envious B. irritated C. sympathetic D. uneasy
5. Julie Beck might agree that ________.
A. it’s ridiculous for adults to long for campus life
B. distance brings challenge to keeping friendships
C. people do not create enough chances to meet with friends
D. when friends are apart, their friendships surely weaken as well
6. The following ways can help people hold on to friendships except _______.
A. celebrating important days B. going on journeys together
C. enlarging circles of friends D. keeping in touch with friends
7. What does the last paragraph mainly talk about?
A. The future of friendship. B. The origin of friendship.
C. The nature of friendship. D. The definition of friendship.
【答案】4. A 5. B 6. C 7. C
【解析】

【6题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段最后一句“So we have to create them: weekly phone calls, friendship anniversaries, road trips, and so on.(所以我们必须创造它们:每周电话,友谊纪念日,公路旅行,等等)”可知,庆祝重要节日、一起旅行和保持联系都是有助于维持友谊的方法,C项“扩大朋友圈”文章未提及。故选C。
【7题详解】
主旨大意题。根据最后一段“‘Friendship is the rare kind of relationship that remains forever available to us as we age,’ Senior writes. ‘It’s a defender against stasis (停滞期), a potential source of creativity and revival in lives that otherwise narrow with time.’ It’s something worth choosing, over and over again.(‘友谊是一种罕见的关系,它会随着我们年龄的增长而永远存在,’Senior写道。‘它是对抗停滞期的捍卫者,是随着时间流逝而变得狭窄的生活中创造力和复兴的潜在来源。’它是一件值得反复选择的事情)”可知,本段主要谈论友谊的本质。故选C。
C
The Mona Lisa is the famous Leonardo da Vinci painting of a woman with a mysterious smile. This week, the woman parted her lips to whisper an ancient secret.
Scientists using X-rays to examine the chemical structure of a small part of the painting discovered a technique Leonardo used in the work. An oil paint used for it was a special, new chemical mixture, which suggests that the Italian artist was in an experimental mood when he worked on the painting in the 16th century.
“He loved to experiment, and each of his paintings is completely different technically,” said Victor Gonzalez, a chemist who has studied the chemical element of several works by Leonardo and other artists. The researchers found a rare lead compound (铅化合物) — plumbonacrite, in Leonardo’s first layer of paint. The discovery proved that da Vinci most likely used lead oxide to thicken and help dry his paint. The paint in the study is about the thickness of a human hair, lying in the top right area of the painting.
The scientists looked into its atomic (原子的) structure using X-rays, moving particles at the speed of light, permitting researchers to look deeper into the paint structure. “Plumbonacrite is really a fingerprint of his recipe, as it’s the first time we can chemically confirm it,” Gonzalez said.
Rembrandt, the Dutch master, may have employed a similar blend in his 17th-century paintings. Gonzalez and fellow researchers have also detected plumbonacrite in his art. It’s believed that Leonardo used lead oxide powder, which has an orange color, to thicken his oil paint and speed up drying. “What you will get is an oil that has a very nice golden color,” Gonzalez said. “It flows more like honey.”
But the Mona Lisa — said by the Louvre to be a portrait (肖像) of Lisa Gherardini, the wife of a Florentine silk businessman — There’s more to her gaze than meets the eye. “What we are saying is just a little brick in the knowledge,” Gonzalez said.
8. What technique did da Vinci potentially use in the Mona Lisa?
A. The employment of tailored X-rays. B. The application of a rare lead compound.
C. A special mixture of oil paints. D. The universal use of atomic structures.
9. What does the use of plumbonacrite suggest about Leonardo’s painting approach?
A. Willingness to experiment. B. Giving priority to conventions.
C. Technically identical output. D. Concentration on paint drying.
10. What is Gonzalez’s attitude towards the use of lead oxide powder?
A. Dismissive. B. Objective. C. Doubtful. D. Favorable.
11. What can we infer about the Mona Lisa from the last paragraph?
A. It still holds secrets yet to be uncovered.
B. It echoes the realities of the worldly life.
C. It’s a perfect combination of old and new.
D. It serves as the key to understanding Leonardo.
【答案】8. B 9. A 10. D 11. A
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文,主要讲述了科学家通过X射线检查《蒙娜丽莎》的部分化学结构,发现了达芬奇在作品中使用的一种技术。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据原文第二段内容“An oil paint used for it was a special, new chemical mixture, which suggests that the Italian artist was in an experimental mood when he worked on the painting in the 16th century.(.用于这幅画的颜料是一种特殊的新型化学混合物,这表明这位意大利艺术家在 16 世纪创作这幅画时有着探索创新的意愿。)”和第三段的“ The researchers found a rare lead compound ( 铅化合物 ) — plumbonacrite, in Leonardo’s first layer of paint. The discovery proved that da Vinci most likely used lead oxide to thicken and help dry his paint.(研究人员在列奥纳多的第一层颜料中发现了一种罕见的铅化合物 —— 铅白铅矿(plumbonacrite)。这一发现证明,达・芬奇很可能使用了氧化铅(lead oxide)来给颜料增稠并助其干燥)”可知,达芬奇在《蒙娜丽莎》中可能使用的技术是应用了一种罕见的铅化合物(即plumbonacrite),具体是通过使用氧化铅来增稠和加快颜料的干燥。这一发现基于科学家使用X射线分析后,在画作首层颜料中检测到该化合物,从而证实了达芬奇实验性的绘画技法。故选B项。
【9题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第三段“He loved to experiment, and each of his paintings is completely different technically”(他喜欢实验,他的每一幅画在技术上都完全不同)可知,达芬奇喜欢实验,故选A。
【10题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第五段““What you will get is an oil that has a very nice golden color,” Gonzalez said. “It flows more like honey.””(“你会得到一种非常漂亮的金色的油,”Gonzalez说,“它流动起来更像蜂蜜。”)可知,Gonzalez对使用氧化铅粉末的态度是支持的。故选D。
【11题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章最后一段““What we are saying is just a little brick in the knowledge,” Gonzalez said.”(Gonzalez说:“我们所说的只是知识中的一小块。”)可推知,《蒙娜丽莎》仍然有待揭示的秘密。故选A。
D
Norway just hit a record in its move to gradually stop using cars that rely on fossil fuels.
More than 9 in 10 new cars sold there in September were either electric or rechargeable hybrids, according to the Norwegian Information Council for Road Traffic, or OFV. Of all new passenger cars sold so far in 2021, less than 5% are gas-powered. A slightly smaller percentage use diesel (柴油). The sales numbers push Norway closer to meeting its national goal of transitioning to an entirely zero-emission (零排放) fleet of new cars by 2025—an initiative the government backs with tax incentives (激励).
Several factors are driving record numbers of Norwegian drivers to choose electricity over gas or diesel power, including new technology that has eased customers’ anxiety about electric vehicles’ range. But money is a main concern.
Norway has long encouraged people to adopt electric vehicles—and it does so by using a carrot so large that it’s essentially also a stick.
Electric cars are exempt (免除) from the 25% value-added tax (VAT), for instance. They’re also exempt from environmental pollution taxes that buyers of gas and diesel vehicles must pay. “The purchase tax for all new cars is calculated by a combination of weight, CO2 and NOx emissions, “the Norwegian Electric Car Association says. “The tax is progressive, making big cars with high emissions very expensive.” Other sweeteners include a lot of auto-related fees that are reduced or totally canceled, from ferry rides to parking. And companies can get a tax break for each electric vehicle.
Overall, Norway is seeing a rapid increase in passenger car this year—more than 35% higher than in 2020. With electric car sales booming, the future of the VAT exemption has been a top for political debate this year, as law makers look at how to bolster tax income while also supporting the move away from fossil fuels.
12. What is the main reason for electric vehicles’ leading sales growth?
A. VAT exemption. B. No more auto-related fees.
C. Fossil fuels shortage. D. Development of technology.
13. How does the author illustrate the carrot and stick approach in the 5th paragraph?
A. By analyzing cause and effect. B. By giving statistics.
C. By referring to previous findings. D. By making a comparison.
14. What does the underlined word “bolster” in the last paragraph mean?
A. Calculate. B. Reduce. C. Receive. D. Increase.
15. Which of the following is a suitable title for the text?
A. Tax-free Policy Works Well with Car Industry in Norway
B. No More Gas-powered Cars Allowed to Be Sold in Norway
C. 9 in 10 Cars Now Sold in Norway Are Electric or Hybrid
D. Almost All Cars Will Go Electric in Norway Right Away
【答案】12. A 13. D 14. D 15. C
【解析】
【分析】本篇是说明文,主要介绍了挪威政府通过减税来激励新能源汽车销售。
【详解】1.细节理解题。根据第三段“Several factors are driving record numbers of Norwegian drivers to choose electricity over gas or diesel power, including new technology that has eased customers’ anxiety about electric vehicles’ range. But money is a main concern.”(有几个因素促使挪威司机选择电力而非燃气或柴油动力,包括新技术缓解了消费者对电动车行驶里程的焦虑。但是钱是主要的问题)和第五段第一句“Electric cars are exempt (免除) from the25% value-added tax (VAT)”(电动汽车免征25%的增值税)可知,增值税的减免是电动汽车销售直线上升的主要原因。故选A。
2.推理判断题。根据第五段“Electric cars are exempt (免除) from the 25% value-added tax (VAT), for instance. They’re also exempt from environmental pollution taxes that buyers of gas and diesel vehicles must pay. “The purchase tax for all new cars is calculated by a combination of weight, CO2 and NOx emissions, “the Norwegian Electric Car Association says. “The tax is progressive, making big cars with high emissions very expensive.” Other sweeteners include a lot of auto-related fees that are reduced or totally canceled, from ferry rides to parking. And companies can get a tax break for each electric vehicle.”(例如,电动汽车免征25%的增值税。他们还可以免交汽油和柴油车辆购买者必须缴纳的环境污染税。“所有新车的购置税是根据重量,二氧化碳和氮氧化物排放量的组合来计算的”挪威电动车协会说。“这种税是累进税,使得排放量高的大型汽车变得非常昂贵。”其他甜头包括许多与汽车相关的费用,这些费用被减少或完全取消,从乘坐渡轮到停车。公司可以为每一辆电动车减税)可知,第五段指出排放量高的大型汽车交税多,而电动汽免交汽油和柴油车辆购买者必须缴纳的环境污染税,以及许多与汽车相关的费用也被减少或完全取消,所以这是通过对比来说明政府的“胡萝卜加大棒”政策。故选D。
3.词义猜测题。根据最后一段中的“With electric car sales booming, the future of the VAT exemption has been a top for political debate this year”(随着电动汽车销售的蓬勃发展,免除增值税的未来成为今年政治辩论的热门话题)可知,是否免除增值税将成为今年政治辩论的热点话题,结合划线单词前后“as law makers look at how to bolster tax income while also supporting the move away from fossil fuels.”(因为立法者们正在研究如何在支持远离化石燃料的同时bolster税收收入)可知,是否免除增值税将成为今年政治辩论的热点话题,而对于立法者们而来说,他们想要的是双赢,即在支持远离化石燃料的同时,又能提高税收收入。所以可以推断出划线单词“bolster”是“增加”的意思,D选项“Increase”(增加)与划线单词意思一样,A. Calculate计算;B. Reduce减少;C. Receive收到,均不符,故选D。
4.主旨大意题。通读全文可知,文章重点介绍挪威政府通过税收倾斜刺激电动汽车的销售,从而达到现在销售的汽车中百分之九十是新能源汽车。所以C选项“9 in 10 Cars Now Sold in Norway Are Electric or Hybrid”(目前在挪威销售的汽车中,十分之九是电动或混合动力车)适合做文章标题,故选C。

根据上文“Anger is the most destructive emotion. When you are in a temper, you make quick ill-considered decisions that you will probably regret. Anger arrives quickly, in response to an event or action.(愤怒是最具破坏性的情绪。当你生气的时候,你会迅速做出你可能会后悔的错误决定。对于一个事件或行为的反应,愤怒来得很快)”以及后文“How to stop being angry?(如何停止生气?)”可知,上文提到了愤怒情绪的坏处,后文给出了建议,可知本句承接上文,继续说明愤怒情绪的特点。故A选项“相比之下,愤怒的情绪会慢慢过去”符合语境,故选A。

Try to accept that other people do behave in ways that will make you both frustrated and angry.(你必须接受有时事情会出错,人们并不总是可爱的。试着接受别人的行为方式会让你既沮丧又生气)”以及后文“Also, you need to accept that not everyone has the same standards as you, nor will they behave in the same way that you would in a given situation.(此外,你需要接受的是,并不是每个人都有和你一样的标准,他们在特定情况下的行为方式也不会和你一样)”可知,不要要求别人和你具有一样的行为和标准,即要学会接受别人的差异和缺点。故E选项“认识到人无完人是避免生气的良好开端”符合语境,故选E。
18题详解】
根据本段内容“Martin Luther King was angry about the lack of civil rights in the USA. Gandhi was angry about British domination in India. They both used that anger to motivate themselves to fight against what they saw as injustice. Anger of this type can be used to fuel action. Use anger to help you but not to pull you back.(马丁·路德·金对美国缺乏公民权利感到愤怒。甘地对英国在印度的统治感到愤怒。他们都用这种愤怒来激励自己与他们所认为的不公正作斗争。这种类型的愤怒可以用来推动行动。用愤怒来帮助你,而不是让你退缩)”可知,本段的主旨是引导愤怒来推动行动,用愤怒来帮助你,而不是让你退缩。故F选项“如果以建设性的方式来引导愤怒,它可以带来积极的改变”符合语境,故选F。
【19题详解】
根据上文“Anger management used to be promoted as a way of dealing with anger, but all that happens is that the anger is suppressed(压制).(愤怒管理曾经作为一种处理愤怒的方法而被推广,但所发生的一切只是愤怒被抑制了)”以及后文“Once you know why you get mad, then it is possible to deal with the cause.(一旦你知道你为什么生气,那么就有可能处理原因)”可知,后文提到发现生气的原因,可知本句是在建议找出生气的原因来处理愤怒。故C选项“面对愤怒的一个更好的方法是找出根本原因”符合语境,故选C。
20题详解】
根据上文“Anger is a negative reaction, but in this type of situation, there is no use reacting by forming positive thoughts. You need to learn not to respond at all.(愤怒是一种消极的反应,但在这种情况下,形成积极的想法是没有用的。你要学会完全不回应)”可知,上文提到了学会完全不回应,本句为本段最后一句,说明这么做的原因。故D选项“这样,你的愤怒就不会得到生存所需的情绪食粮”符合语境,故选D。

【36题详解】
考查动词动语态。句意:几个世纪以来,狄仁杰在通俗小说和故事中一直被描绘成一位英勇的侦探,他极具逻辑性和辩证思维,深受当时人们的爱戴。由For centuries可知,句子用现在完成时,狄仁杰是被描绘成一位英勇的侦探,因此空格处用现在完成时的被动语态,主语Di是单数,助动词使用has,故填has been portrayed。
【37题详解】
考查定语从句。句意:几个世纪以来,狄仁杰在通俗小说和故事中一直被描绘成一位英勇的侦探,他极具逻辑性和辩证思维,深受当时人们的爱戴。空格处引导的是非限制性定语从句,从句中缺少主语,先行词Di是人,因此空格处用关系代词who,故填who。

考查介词。句意:如今,这一传统在中国娱乐业中得以延续,众多关于狄仁杰侦探故事的电视和电影改编作品,使这位法官深深烙印在公众意识之中。由engraving可知,此处是with复合结构,结构是“with+名词+现在分词”,故填with。
【39题详解】
考查副词。句意:然而,狄仁杰在西方世界日益受到认可,这一事实可能鲜为人知,他在西方甚至获得了“中国福尔摩斯”的绰号。由what may be lesser-known is Di’s growing recognition in the Western world可知,前后句子是转折关系,因此空格处用however表转折,位于句首的单词,首字母大写,故填However。
【40题详解】
考查状语从句的省略。句意:在职业生涯早期,狄仁杰在各地任职期间解决了各种刑事案件,同时也揭开了自己神秘的身世之谜。while引导的时间状语从句用进行时,由uncovers可知,时态用现在进行时,主语Dee是单数,因此while引导的从句是while Dee is solving various criminal cases in different places,时间状语从句中主语和主句主语一致,且从句中有be动词时,可省略从句中的主语和be动词,因此空格处用solving。故填solving。
【41题详解】

【43题详解】
考查名词。句意:令人惊讶的是,该剧从未打算忠实再现唐朝,而是对经典故事进行了现代诠释,至今仍能引起当代观众的共鸣。modern是形容词,修饰名词,根据语境可知,句子表示“该剧从未打算忠实再现唐朝,而是对经典故事进行了现代诠释,至今仍能引起当代观众的共鸣”,空格处意为“诠释”,名词是interpretation,空前有a,空格处用单数,故填interpretation。
【44题详解】
考查冠词。句意:Li认为,每一个西方观众都可以对狄仁杰的性格和中国文明的文化根源有一个独到的见解。insight是可数名词的单数形式,表泛指,空格处用不定冠词,original是元音音素开头,因此不定冠词用an,故填an。
【45题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:狄仁杰展现了值得中国人民钦佩的中国传统美德。of是介词,空格处用动名词作宾语,由by可知,空格处用动名词的被动语态being admired。故填being admired。

第二节(满分25分)
47. 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。
Lily was renowned for her desire to achieve perfection in everything she undertook. Whether it was school projects, art assignments, or even helping her parents with household chores, Lily’s commitment to excellence was unwavering.
One sunny summer day, Lily’s family decided to spend a day at the beach. As they arrived, Lily’s eyes were immediately drawn by a group of children who playfully built and then tore down their sandcastles. They giggled and shouted, their excitement on full display. “How silly, ” she thought, not quite getting why they enjoyed doing that.
Lily, being herself, decided to build a perfect sandcastle that would become the envy of all beachgoers. She began to plan every detail in her mind, from the balanced structures of the towers to the delicate decorations. Then, she set about piling sand to make the towers and walls of her sandcastle. Painstakingly, she crafted each feature of her work, carefully smoothed the surfaces and adjusting every detail to her vision.
Jake, Lily’s younger brother, didn’t seem too concerned with building a fantastic sandcastle. He picked a spot nearby and amused himself with the sand. He scooped up handfuls of sand, let it slip through his fingers like grains of time, and then molded it into careless shapes with the carefree abandon of a child. Jake’s happiness was contagious. Mom and Dad joined him, laughing and joking over Jake’s playful creations. From time to time, they called out to Lily and invited her to join the fun, knowing that the pursuit of perfection could be exhausting.
Nevertheless, Lily stayed where she was, determined to create an impressive sandcastle. She frowned at Jake’s unconventional, abstract art-like sandcastle shapes and persisted in her efforts. However, the process didn’t go as smoothly as she had anticipated. The sand didn’t always hold its shape, and the waves constantly lapped at the edges of her creation.
Para 1: As the day wore on, Lily’s sandcastle kept losing its form.
_____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Para 2: With bitter smile, Lily decided to join her family.
_____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】As the day wore on, Lily’s sandcastle kept losing its form. Despite her best efforts to mold and shape the sand, the waves and the wind seemed determined to undo her hard work. Frustration started to creep in as she watched her masterpiece crumble time and time again. Determined not to give up, Lily redoubled her efforts, trying to salvage what was left of her sandcastle. But no matter how hard she tried, the elements seemed to conspire against her. The once-perfect sandcastle now resembled a lopsided ruin, a stark reminder of her failed attempt at perfection.
With bitter smile, Lily decided to join her family. Sitting down next to Jake, she observed his carefree laughter and the joy on her parents’ faces. For the first time that day, she realized that perhaps there was more to life than striving for perfection. In that moment, Lily made a choice. She let go of her obsession with the sandcastle and joined in the fun. She laughed, played, and created sandcastles without the burden of expectations. It was in that moment that she truly began to understand the beauty of imperfection and the importance of enjoying the simple things in life.
【解析】
【导语】本文以人物为线索展开,讲述了Lily在海滩上建造沙堡经历,并对比了她追求完美主义和弟弟Jake享受快乐的态度。通过这个故事,作者表达了接受并欣赏生活中的不完美和欢乐的重要性。
【详解】1.段落续写:
①由第一段首句内容“随着时间的流逝,Lily的沙堡逐渐失去了形状。”以及第二段首句内容“带着苦涩的微笑,Lily决定加入她的家人。”可知,第一段可描写虽然Lily一直在努力,但是却阻止不了自己的沙堡被海浪毁了。
②由第二段首句内容“带着苦涩的微笑,Lily决定加入她的家人。”可知,第二段可描写Lily和家人堆沙堡时终于感悟到不完美也是快乐的。
2.续写线索:Lily是个追求完美的女孩——一天,全家一起去海滩玩——Lily看到一群孩子在推沙堡,然后又拆掉沙堡——Lily对此嗤之以鼻,决定堆一个完美的沙堡——Lily的弟弟Jake也漫不经心地开始玩沙子,随心所欲地将沙子塑造成各种样子——Lily努力堆着沙堡,可是海浪总是拍打着沙堡——Lily终于放弃了,加入了家人——没有了追求完美的压力,Lily终于开始真正享受玩沙子

When I was in college, an acquaintance who had graduated a few years ago came back to visit for the weekend. As we walked around campus on Saturday night, he flung his hands into the cold air and exclaimed, “You guys are so lucky; you live a minute away from all your friends. You’ll never have this again.”
At that time, I thought it was kind of sad — a grown man longing for my life of university housing and late library nights. But his words have stuck with me in the years since. “In adulthood, as people grow up and go away, friendships are the relationships most likely to suffer,” my colleague Julie Beck wrote in 2015. Therefore, the older you get, the more effort it takes to maintain connections, because you don’t have as many built-in opportunities to see your friends every day.
The writer Jennifer Senior noted last year that the fact of our choosing friendships makes them both fragile and special. “You have to continually involve. That you choose it is what gives it its value,” she wrote. But that’s also what makes friendships harder to hold on to as our lives evolve.
It’s hard but not impossible. Senior notes that when it comes to friendship, “we are ritual-deficient. So we have to create them: weekly phone calls, friendship anniversaries, road trips, and so on.”
“Friendship is the rare kind of relationship that remains forever available to us as we age,” Senior writes. “It’s a defender against stasis (停滞期), a potential source of creativity and revival in lives that otherwise narrow with time.” It’s something worth choosing, over and over again.
4. It can be inferred from Paragraph 1 that the writer’s friend probably felt _______.
A envious B. irritated C. sympathetic D. uneasy
5. Julie Beck might agree that ________.
A. it’s ridiculous for adults to long for campus life
B distance brings challenge to keeping friendships
C. people do not create enough chances to meet with friends
D. when friends are apart, their friendships surely weaken as well
6. The following ways can help people hold on to friendships except _______.
A. celebrating important days B. going on journeys together
C. enlarging circles of friends D. keeping in touch with friends
7. What does the last paragraph mainly talk about?
A. The future of friendship. B. The origin of friendship.
C. The nature of friendship. D. The definition of friendship.
C
The Mona Lisa is the famous Leonardo da Vinci painting of a woman with a mysterious smile. This week, the woman parted her lips to whisper an ancient secret.
Scientists using X-rays to examine the chemical structure of a small part of the painting discovered a technique Leonardo used in the work. An oil paint used for it was a special, new chemical mixture, which suggests that the Italian artist was in an experimental mood when he worked on the painting in the 16th century.
“He loved to experiment, and each of his paintings is completely different technically,” said Victor Gonzalez, a chemist who has studied the chemical element of several works by Leonardo and other artists. The researchers found a rare lead compound (铅化合物) — plumbonacrite, in Leonardo’s first layer of paint. The discovery proved that da Vinci most likely used lead oxide to thicken and help dry his paint. The paint in the study is about the thickness of a human hair, lying in the top right area of the painting.
The scientists looked into its atomic (原子的) structure using X-rays, moving particles at the speed of light, permitting researchers to look deeper into the paint structure. “Plumbonacrite is really a fingerprint of his recipe, as it’s the first time we can chemically confirm it,” Gonzalez said.
Rembrandt, the Dutch master, may have employed a similar blend in his 17th-century paintings. Gonzalez and fellow researchers have also detected plumbonacrite in his art. It’s believed that Leonardo used lead oxide powder, which has an orange color, to thicken his oil paint and speed up drying. “What you will get is an oil that has a very nice golden color,” Gonzalez said. “It flows more like honey.”
But the Mona Lisa — said by the Louvre to be a portrait (肖像) of Lisa Gherardini, the wife of a Florentine silk businessman — There’s more to her gaze than meets the eye. “What we are saying is just a little brick in the knowledge,” Gonzalez said.
8. What technique did da Vinci potentially use in the Mona Lisa?
A. The employment of tailored X-rays. B. The application of a rare lead compound.
C. A special mixture of oil paints. D. The universal use of atomic structures.
9. What does the use of plumbonacrite suggest about Leonardo’s painting approach?
A. Willingness to experiment. B. Giving priority to conventions.
C. Technically identical output. D. Concentration on paint drying.
10. What is Gonzalez’s attitude towards the use of lead oxide powder?
A. Dismissive. B. Objective. C. Doubtful. D. Favorable.
11. What can we infer about the Mona Lisa from the last paragraph?
A. It still holds secrets yet to be uncovered.
B. It echoes the realities of the worldly life.
C. It’s a perfect combination of old and new.
D. It serves as the key to understanding Leonardo.
D
Norway just hit a record in its move to gradually stop using cars that rely on fossil fuels.
More than 9 in 10 new cars sold there in September were either electric or rechargeable hybrids, according to the Norwegian Information Council for Road Traffic, or OFV. Of all new passenger cars sold so far in 2021, less than 5% are gas-powered. A slightly smaller percentage use diesel (柴油). The sales numbers push Norway closer to meeting its national goal of transitioning to an entirely zero-emission (零排放) fleet of new cars by 2025—an initiative the government backs with tax incentives (激励).
Several factors are driving record numbers of Norwegian drivers to choose electricity over gas or diesel power, including new technology that has eased customers’ anxiety about electric vehicles’ range. But money is a main concern.
Norway has long encouraged people to adopt electric vehicles—and it does so by using a carrot so large that it’s essentially also a stick.
Electric cars are exempt (免除) from the 25% value-added tax (VAT) for instance. They’re also exempt from environmental pollution taxes that buyers of gas and diesel vehicles must pay. “The purchase tax for all new cars is calculated by a combination of weight, CO2 and NOx emissions, “the Norwegian Electric Car Association says. “The tax is progressive, making big cars with high emissions very expensive.” Other sweeteners include a lot of auto-related fees that are reduced or totally canceled, from ferry rides to parking. And companies can get a tax break for each electric vehicle.
Overall, Norway is seeing a rapid increase in passenger car this year—more than 35% higher than in 2020. With electric car sales booming, the future of the VAT exemption has been a top for political debate this year, as law makers look at how to bolster tax income while also supporting the move away from fossil fuels.
12. What is the main reason for electric vehicles’ leading sales growth?
A. VAT exemption. B. No more auto-related fees.
C. Fossil fuels shortage. D. Development of technology.
13. How does the author illustrate the carrot and stick approach in the 5th paragraph?
A. By analyzing cause and effect. B. By giving statistics.
C. By referring to previous findings. D. By making a comparison.
14. What does the underlined word “bolster” in the last paragraph mean?
A. Calculate. B. Reduce. C. Receive. D. Increase.
15. Which of the following is a suitable title for the text?
A. Tax-free Policy Works Well with Car Industry in Norway
B. No More Gas-powered Cars Allowed to Be Sold in Norway
C. 9 in 10 Cars Now Sold in Norway Are Electric or Hybrid
D. Almost All Cars Will Go Electric in Norway Right Away

47. 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。
Lily was renowned for her desire to achieve perfection in everything she undertook. Whether it was school projects, art assignments, or even helping her parents with household chores, Lily’s commitment to excellence was unwavering.
One sunny summer day, Lily’s family decided to spend a day at the beach. As they arrived, Lily’s eyes were immediately drawn by a group of children who playfully built and then tore down their sandcastles. They giggled and shouted, their excitement on full display. “How silly, ” she thought, not quite getting why they enjoyed doing that.
Lily, being herself, decided to build a perfect sandcastle that would become the envy of all beachgoers. She began to plan every detail in her mind, from the balanced structures of the towers to the delicate decorations. Then, she set about piling sand to make the towers and walls of her sandcastle. Painstakingly, she crafted each feature of her work, carefully smoothed the surfaces and adjusting every detail to her vision.
Jake, Lily’s younger brother, didn’t seem too concerned with building a fantastic sandcastle. He picked a spot nearby and amused himself with the sand. He scooped up handfuls of sand, let it slip through his fingers like grains of time, and then molded it into careless shapes with the carefree abandon of a child. Jake’s happiness was contagious. Mom and Dad joined him, laughing and joking over Jake’s playful creations. From time to time, they called out to Lily and invited her to join the fun, knowing that the pursuit of perfection could be exhausting.
Nevertheless, Lily stayed where she was, determined to create an impressive sandcastle. She frowned at Jake’s unconventional, abstract art-like sandcastle shapes and persisted in her efforts. However, the process didn’t go as smoothly as she had anticipated. The sand didn’t always hold its shape, and the waves constantly lapped at the edges of her creation.
Para 1: As the day wore on, Lily’s sandcastle kept losing its form.

Para 2: With bitter smile, Lily decided to join her family.
