Four Self-Portraits (自画像) by Famous Artists
Raphael (Raffaello Sanzio da Urbino)—“Self-Portrait”, 1506
One of the beautiful self-portraits by famous artist Raphael was drawn at the age of 23. It measures around 45cm×33cm and is located at the world-famous Uffizi Gallery. The Italian painter used oil on board to draw his self-portrait, which was the clearest and the most recognizable self-portraits of Raphael himself.
Leonardo da Vinci—“Portrait of a Man in Red Chalk”, 1512
“Portrait of a Man in Red Chalk”is a self-portrait of da Vinci at the age of 60 and measures around 33.3cm×21.6cm, which is on display in Biblioteca Reale, Turin, Italy. It is drawn with red chalk on paper and represents the head of an elderly man in a three-quarter view. In the portrait, the length of the hair is uncommon in Renaissance (文艺复兴) portraits.
Rembrandt van Rijn—“Self-Portrait with Beret and Turned-up Collar”, 1659
Dutch painter Rembrandt van Rijn painted his self-portrait in 1659 when he was 53 years old. It shows his worried expression that clearly portrays the troubled condition of his mind at that point of his life since the year 1659 was a year of anxiety for him. This self-portrait found its place among the Benjamin Altman Collection, which has been exhibited in the Metropolitan Museum of Art since 1913.
Edgar Degas—“Degas Au Porte-Fusain’”, l855
Edgar Degas made this self-portrait only when he was twenty-one years old. It was one of the most remarkable of his fifteen self-portraits. Degas was seated as seemingly without fear and anxiety. The pose in the painting was formal and academic. The painting is located in the musée d’Orsay, Paris, France.

Technologically, the 20-year jump from 2015 to 2035 will be huge. Back in 1995 we were in the early days of the Internet, we worked in small rooms and our computers were heavy and powered by Windows 95. There were no touch screen phones or flat screen TVs; people laughed at the idea of reading electronic books.
So, what will our world really be like in 2035? What will the future jobs and technology be like? The world in 2035 will probably be much like it is today, but smarter and more automatic. We can see the future of our work first.
Taxi drivers will be replaced by self-driving Uber cars and receptionists will be replaced by robots. Doctors can use vast medical databases and travel agents will be wiped out by trip-planning, flight-booking web services. Even writers are threatened by companies such as Narrative Science, which currently uses AI to create sports reports and financial updates.
Obviously, there will also be new jobs created: the computer engineer who fixes the self-driving Uber taxis, programmers, space tour guides and vertical (垂直的) farmers. Technology will continue to disrupt (扰乱) businesses and get rid of jobs, creating new professions we can’t yet envisage now.
Those of us who work probably won’t do so in a traditional office either. We’re already seeing a shift in the definition of work. It’s now a task you perform, not a place you go to. Productivity is no longer measured by sitting at a desk. There’s no nine to five. No job for life.
The biggest advantage of working from home is that you save a lot of time commuting back and forth to work. You can spend extra time with your children or spouse and read the newspaper instead of sitting in traffic. Of course, advanced technology will ensure that most of us can work from home.
4. What’s the function of the questions in paragraph 2?
A. Leading in the topic of the article. B. Raising the thinking of the readers.
C. Introducing the work of the future. D. Inspiring readers to explore the future.
5. What does the underlined word “envisage” in paragraph 4 mean?
A. Assess. B. Ignore. C. Imagine. D. Reject.
6. Where will most people work in the future?
A. In the office. B. At the hotel. C. In the open air. D. At home.
7. What will be discussed in the following paragraph?
A. The future health. B. The future technology. C. The future marriage. D. The future transportation.
【答案】4. A 5. C 6. D 7. B
【解析】
【分析】这是一篇说明文。文章介绍了在未来的工作是什么样子。
【4题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段最后一句“We can see the future of our work first.”(我们可以先看看我们工作的未来。)可知,文章接下来主要是讲在未来的工作是什么样子,所以第二段里的问题的功能是引导文章主题。故选A。
【5题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第四段最后一句中的“creating new professions”(创造新的职业)可知,此处是指未来会有我们现在无法想象的新的职业创造出来,所以envisage意为“想象”。故选C。
【6题详解】
细节理解题。根据第五段第一句“Those of us who work probably won’t do so in a traditional office either.”(我们这些工作的人可能也不会在传统的办公室里做这些。)和第三句“It’s now a task you perform, not a place you go to.”(它现在是你执行的任务,而不是你去的地方。)以及最后一段最后一句“Of course, advanced technology will ensure that most of us can work from home.”(当然,先进的技术将确保我们大多数人可以在家工作。)可知,未来大多数人会在家工作。故选D。
【7题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段最后一句“Of course, advanced technology will ensure that most of us can work from home.”(当然,先进的技术将确保我们大多数人可以在家工作。)可知,文章接下来要讨论的是未来的技术。故选B。

If you’re a keen reader, you have probably heard of Chilean American author Isabel Allende and may have read one of her 20+ books of fiction and non-fiction.
One of Latin America’s most famous living writers, Isabel Allende primarily writes in Spanish. But her work has been translated into English and adapted for the big screen, too, so it’s accessible to readers and viewers beyond her homeland.
Isabel Allende was born in 1942 in Peru to Chilean parents. Her parents separated when she was very young, and she spent a few years of her childhood in Chile with her mother, two siblings and grandfather. When Allende was 11, her mother remarried and Allende spent the rest of her childhood in Bolivia and Lebanon.
Before her first book was published, Allende worked as a journalist. She co-founded the first feminist magazine, Paula, in Chile, in 1967, worked in television, wrote and produced a play, and wrote children’s stories and magazines. In 1973, Allende and her family moved to Venezuela, where they lived for the next 13 years.
In 1981, the foundations of her first novel, The House of the Spirits, were laid: after learning that her 99-year-old grandfather was dying, Allende wrote a letter to him. This eventually became The House of the Spirits, a magical-realist family long story.
Allende had a long, productive and celebrated writing career. Over four decades she has published 24 books, which have been translated into more than 40 languages and sold more than 75 million copies, making her one of the best-selling authors in the world. She is a fairly rare author who has achieved widespread popularity among general readers and acclaim among literary critics. She herself and her books have been the subject of many academic literary studies, and she’s an essential part of the Latin American Spanish literary canon(经典).
8. What language does Allende mostly write in?
A. Latin. B. Spanish. C. English. D. French.
9. What is paragraph 3 mainly about?
A. Allende’s early life. B. Allende’s homeland.
C. Allende’s education. D. Allende’s marriage.
10. Who is directly related with Allende’s first novel?
A. Her mother. B. Her father. C. Her child. D. Her grandfather.
11. What does the underlined word “acclaim” in the last paragraph mean?
A. Worry. B. Doubt. C. Praise. D. Comfort.
【答案】8. B 9. A 10. D 11. C
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。这篇文章介绍了智利美国作家伊莎贝尔·阿连德的生平事迹和文学创作,包括她的家庭背景、职业经历、第一部小说《幽灵之家》等。阿连德是拉美最著名的现当代作家之一,作品被翻译成超过40种语言,在全球销售超过7500万册。她的文学作品被广大读者和文学评论家喜爱,并成为拉美西班牙文学经典的重要组成部分。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“One of Latin America’s most famous living writers, Isabel Allende primarily writes in Spanish. (拉丁美洲最著名的在世作家之一,伊莎贝尔·阿连德主要用西班牙语写作。)”可知,伊莎贝尔主要用西班牙语写作。故选B。
【9题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第三段中“Isabel Allende was born in 1942 in Peru to Chilean parents. Her parents separated when she was very young, and she spent a few years of her childhood in Chile with her mother, two siblings and grandfather. When Allende was 11, her mother remarried and Allende spent the rest of her childhood in Bolivia and Lebanon.(伊莎贝尔·阿连德1942年出生于秘鲁,父母是智利人。她的父母在她很小的时候就分居了,她小时候和母亲、两个兄弟姐妹和祖父在智利度过了几年。当阿连德11岁时,她的母亲再婚,阿连德在玻利维亚和黎巴嫩度过了她的童年。)”可知,本段主要讲述了阿连德的早期生活。故选A。
【10题详解】
细节理解题。根据第五段“In 1981, the foundations of her first novel, The House of the Spirits, were laid: after learning that her 99-year-old grandfather was dying, Allende wrote a letter to him. This eventually became The House of the Spirits, a magical-realist family long story.(1981年,阿连德的第一部小说《幽灵之家》奠定了基础:在得知她99岁的祖父病逝后,阿连德给他写了一封信。这最终成为了《幽灵之家》,一部魔幻现实主义的长篇家庭故事。)”可知,The House of the Spirits原本是阿连德写给她外祖父的一封信。故选D。
【11题详解】
词义猜测题。根据画线词所在的句子“ She is a fairly rare author who has achieved widespread popularity among general readers(她是一位在普通读者中广受欢迎的相当罕见的作家)”及下文“ she’s an essential part of the Latin American Spanish literary canon(她是拉丁美洲西班牙文学经典的重要组成部分)”可知,阿连德是一位在普通读者中广受欢迎的相当罕见的作家同时她的作品也是拉丁美洲西班牙文学经典的重要组成部分,由此推断她在文学评论家中是获得赞扬的。故划线词与C选项“Praise(赞扬)”为同义词。故选C。
D
Contrary to “popular opinion”, the scientific pursuit for knowledge is not a predictable process. To make new discoveries, researchers need the freedom to be creative, fail, and learn by chance. This aspect is similar to art. This is why Wageningen scientists look to artists for inspiration and exchange ideas about how to increase creative freedom.
“Science and art are two different ways to make something understandable. They both provide a perspective on reality,” says Biochemistry Professor Dolf Weijers. “From the outside, the research process looks very formal and the artistic process looks somewhat messy. But the scientific process can also unfold in an unpredictable way.”
“Scientists can learn a lot from artists,” says Weijers. “Association and creativity are central to art. Those aspects require more attention in science as the creative process is the key of science.”
“As a scientist, you use different methods, but it is equally about how you visualize your understandings of reality and the connections between them. This is sometimes just as visual as art,” says Weijers. One example is a recent special project in which Weijers and his colleague Joris Sprakel, professor of Physical Chemistry and Soft Matter, measured the forces that act on plant cells. A molecular (分子的) sensor was used to visualize the different forces. They showed the results in colorful images, each representing a different force.
What science and art also have in common is that they are topics of discussion in society. There are people who say that they do not value art and people who mistrust science. Weijers says, “It often creates the wrong impression because only the results of scientific studies are presented, and people do not have any insight into the process leading to discovery. As a scientist, you are doubted if you say something that is different a few years later. Then you are viewed as unreliable. But what is often poorly understood is that there are no final results in science. What we scientists can achieve in the coming period is to provide more chances for people to focus on the process. Personally, I think that the connection with art can help to lead the focus on the process than the result.”
12. What does Dolf Weijers think of science process?
A. It is always serious. B. It can’t be accidental.
C. It doesn’t allow failures. D. It can be unexpected.
13. What does the underlined sentence “This is sometimes just as visual as art” in paragraph 4 mean?
A. Visualizing is a must for science.
B. Science can be visualized like art.
C. Science should be understood by visualizing.
D. Visualizing is as easy in science as in art.
14. Why do common people mistrust science in Dolf Weijers’ opinion?
A. Scientists usually draw unreliable conclusions.
B. Scientists don’t use visualizing to show the results.
C. The scientific process is unknown to them.
D. The scientific results are complex for the public.
15. Which can be a suitable title for the text?
A. Differences Between Science and Art
B. Similarities Between Science and Art
C. Scientists and Artists Contribute to the World
D. Science and Art Are Tools to Understand the World
【答案】12. D 13. B 14. C 15. B
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇议论文。文章论述了艺术创作和科学研究之间的关系。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。 根据第二段的“But the scientific process can also unfold in an unpredictable way.(但科学过程也可能以一种不可预测的方式展开)”可知,Dolf Weijers认为科学过程是不可预料的。故选D。
【13题详解】
词句猜测题。根据画线句前“‘As a scientist, you use different methods, but it is equally about how you visualize your understandings of reality and the connections between them.’(作为一名科学家,你使用不同的方法,但同样重要的是你如何将你对现实的理解以及它们之间的联系可视化)”可知,不管使用什么方法,重要的是要将科学家对现实的理解以及它们之间的联系可视化。由此猜测,画线句句意为“科学能够像艺术一样视觉化”。故选B。
【14题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段的“It often creates the wrong impression because only the results of scientific studies are presented, and people do not have any insight into the process leading to discovery.(它往往会造成错误的印象,因为只有科学研究的结果被呈现出来,而人们对导致发现的过程没有任何见解)”可知,Dolf Weijers认为普通大众不了解科学过程,所以他们通常不信任科学研究。故选C。
【15题详解】
主旨大意题。 通读全文,并结合第一段的“To make new discoveries, researchers need the freedom to be creative, fail, and learn by chance. This aspect is similar to art. This is why Wageningen scientists look to artists for inspiration and exchange ideas about how to increase creative freedom.(为了做出新的发现,研究人员需要有创造性、失败和偶然学习的自由。这方面与艺术相似。这就是为什么瓦赫宁根的科学家们向艺术家寻求灵感,并就如何增加创作自由交换想法)”可知,本文主要论述了科学研究与艺术创作之间的相似之处。因此B项“科学和艺术的相似之处”可以作为本文的最佳标题。故选B。

Four Self-Portraits (自画像) by Famous Artists
Raphael (Raffaello Sanzio da Urbino)—“Self-Portrait”, 1506
One of the beautiful self-portraits by famous artist Raphael was drawn at the age of 23. It measures around 45cm×33cm and is located at the world-famous Uffizi Gallery. The Italian painter used oil on board to draw his self-portrait, which was the clearest and the most recognizable self-portraits of Raphael himself.
Leonardo da Vinci—“Portrait of a Man in Red Chalk”, 1512
“Portrait of a Man in Red Chalk”is a self-portrait of da Vinci at the age of 60 and measures around 33.3cm×21.6cm, which is on display in Biblioteca Reale, Turin, Italy. It is drawn with red chalk on paper and represents the head of an elderly man in a three-quarter view. In the portrait, the length of the hair is uncommon in Renaissance (文艺复兴) portraits.
Rembrandt van Rijn—“Self-Portrait with Beret and Turned-up Collar”, 1659
Dutch painter Rembrandt van Rijn painted his self-portrait in 1659 when he was 53 years old. It shows his worried expression that clearly portrays the troubled condition of his mind at that point of his life since the year 1659 was a year of anxiety for him. This self-portrait found its place among the Benjamin Altman Collection, which has been exhibited in the Metropolitan Museum of Art since 1913.
Edgar Degas—“Degas Au Porte-Fusain’”, l855
Edgar Degas made this self-portrait only when he was twenty-one years old. It was one of the most remarkable of his fifteen self-portraits. Degas was seated as seemingly without fear and anxiety. The pose in the painting was formal and academic. The painting is located in the musée d’Orsay, Paris, France.

Technologically, the 20-year jump from 2015 to 2035 will be huge. Back in 1995 we were in the early days of the Internet, we worked in small rooms and our computers were heavy and powered by Windows 95. There were no touch screen phones or flat screen TVs; people laughed at the idea of reading electronic books.
So, what will our world really be like in 2035? What will the future jobs and technology be like? The world in 2035 will probably be much like it is today, but smarter and more automatic. We can see the future of our work first.
Taxi drivers will be replaced by self-driving Uber cars and receptionists will be replaced by robots. Doctors can use vast medical databases and travel agents will be wiped out by trip-planning, flight-booking web services. Even writers are threatened by companies such as Narrative Science, which currently uses AI to create sports reports and financial updates.
Obviously, there will also be new jobs created: the computer engineer who fixes the self-driving Uber taxis, programmers, space tour guides and vertical (垂直的) farmers. Technology will continue to disrupt (扰乱) businesses and get rid of jobs, creating new professions we can’t yet envisage now.
Those of us who work probably won’t do so in a traditional office either. We’re already seeing a shift in the definition of work. It’s now a task you perform, not a place you go to. Productivity is no longer measured by sitting at a desk. There’s no nine to five. No job for life.
The biggest advantage of working from home is that you save a lot of time commuting back and forth to work. You can spend extra time with your children or spouse and read the newspaper instead of sitting in traffic. Of course, advanced technology will ensure that most of us can work from home.
4. What’s the function of the questions in paragraph 2?
A. Leading in the topic of the article. B. Raising the thinking of the readers.
C. Introducing the work of the future. D. Inspiring readers to explore the future.
5. What does the underlined word “envisage” in paragraph 4 mean?
A. Assess. B. Ignore. C. Imagine. D. Reject.
6. Where will most people work in the future?
A. In the office. B. At the hotel. C. In the open air. D. At home.
7. What will be discussed in the following paragraph?
A. The future health. B. The future technology. C. The future marriage. D. The future transportation.
C
If you’re a keen reader, you have probably heard of Chilean American author Isabel Allende and may have read one of her 20+ books of fiction and non-fiction.
One of Latin America’s most famous living writers, Isabel Allende primarily writes in Spanish. But her work has been translated into English and adapted for the big screen, too, so it’s accessible to readers and viewers beyond her homeland.
Isabel Allende was born in 1942 in Peru to Chilean parents. Her parents separated when she was very young, and she spent a few years of her childhood in Chile with her mother, two siblings and grandfather. When Allende was 11, her mother remarried and Allende spent the rest of her childhood in Bolivia and Lebanon.
Before her first book was published, Allende worked as a journalist. She co-founded the first feminist magazine, Paula, in Chile, in 1967, worked in television, wrote and produced a play, and wrote children’s stories and magazines. In 1973, Allende and her family moved to Venezuela, where they lived for the next 13 years.
In 1981, the foundations of her first novel, The House of the Spirits, were laid: after learning that her 99-year-old grandfather was dying, Allende wrote a letter to him. This eventually became The House of the Spirits, a magical-realist family long story.
Allende had a long, productive and celebrated writing career. Over four decades she has published 24 books, which have been translated into more than 40 languages and sold more than 75 million copies, making her one of the best-selling authors in the world. She is a fairly rare author who has achieved widespread popularity among general readers and acclaim among literary critics. She herself and her books have been the subject of many academic literary studies, and she’s an essential part of the Latin American Spanish literary canon(经典).
8. What language does Allende mostly write in?
A. Latin. B. Spanish. C. English. D. French.
9. What is paragraph 3 mainly about?
A. Allende’s early life. B. Allende’s homeland.
C. Allende’s education. D. Allende’s marriage.
10. Who is directly related with Allende’s first novel?
A. Her mother. B. Her father. C. Her child. D. Her grandfather.
11. What does the underlined word “acclaim” in the last paragraph mean?
A. Worry. B. Doubt. C. Praise. D. Comfort.
D
Contrary to “popular opinion”, the scientific pursuit for knowledge is not a predictable process. To make new discoveries, researchers need the freedom to be creative, fail, and learn by chance. This aspect is similar to art. This is why Wageningen scientists look to artists for inspiration and exchange ideas about how to increase creative freedom.
“Science and art are two different ways to make something understandable. They both provide a perspective on reality,” says Biochemistry Professor Dolf Weijers. “From the outside, the research process looks very formal and the artistic process looks somewhat messy. But the scientific process can also unfold in an unpredictable way.”
“Scientists can learn a lot from artists,” says Weijers. “Association and creativity are central to art. Those aspects require more attention in science as the creative process is the key of science.”
“As a scientist, you use different methods, but it is equally about how you visualize your understandings of reality and the connections between them. This is sometimes just as visual as art,” says Weijers. One example is a recent special project in which Weijers and his colleague Joris Sprakel, professor of Physical Chemistry and Soft Matter, measured the forces that act on plant cells. A molecular (分子的) sensor was used to visualize the different forces. They showed the results in colorful images, each representing a different force.
What science and art also have in common is that they are topics of discussion in society. There are people who say that they do not value art and people who mistrust science. Weijers says, “It often creates the wrong impression because only the results of scientific studies are presented, and people do not have any insight into the process leading to discovery. As a scientist, you are doubted if you say something that is different a few years later. Then you are viewed as unreliable. But what is often poorly understood is that there are no final results in science. What we scientists can achieve in the coming period is to provide more chances for people to focus on the process. Personally, I think that the connection with art can help to lead the focus on the process than the result.”
12. What does Dolf Weijers think of science process?
A. It is always serious. B. It can’t be accidental.
C. It doesn’t allow failures. D. It can be unexpected.
13. What does the underlined sentence “This is sometimes just as visual as art” in paragraph 4 mean?
A. Visualizing is a must for science.
B. Science can be visualized like art.
C. Science should be understood by visualizing.
D. Visualizing is as easy in science as in art.
14. Why do common people mistrust science in Dolf Weijers’ opinion?
A. Scientists usually draw unreliable conclusions.
B. Scientists don’t use visualizing to show the results.
C. The scientific process is unknown to them.
D. The scientific results are complex for the public.
15. Which can be a suitable title for the text?
A. Differences Between Science and Art
B. Similarities Between Science and Art
C. Scientists and Artists Contribute to the World
D. Science and Art Are Tools to Understand the World
