With the main event running from April 20 to November 24,2024, here's our pick of what to see if you head to Venice. Willem de Kooning e l’Italia One of the most influential artists of the 20th century, Willem de Kooning is the subject of a major exhibition(展览) exploring his time in 1959 and 1969 and the impact it had on his works. The show will bring together around 75 works, making this the largest presentation of the artist ever organized in Italy. Rise of the Sunken Sun This photography exhibition by Greenlandic artist Inuuteq Storch marks the first time that the Danish Pavilion has showcased both a major exhibition by an artist from Greenland and a presentation on photography. With over 200 images, Storch's project aims to tell the Greenlanders' history, not seen through the visitors' eyes, but through the Greenlanders' own. The Rooted Nomad This exhibition will examine the life and works of M. F. Husain, a modernist painter called “India’s Picasso”. Celebrating his talent as an artist, thinker and writer, the show exhibits his paintings, photographs, letters and parts from his films and poetry that shaped his vision of India as a richly layered cultural nation. The Arch within the Arc The exhibition in Italy of Houston-based artist Rick Lowe takes place at Palazzo Grimani, home to a large collection of 16th-century Greek and Roman sculpture(雕像). Inspired by the architecture of the Museo di Palazzo Grimani and the experience of moving through Venice and its waterways, the exhibition features new paintings by Rick Lowe that reflect his consideration of the arch(拱) in architecture. 1. What is Rise of the Sunken Sun intended for? A. Showing Greenland's history. B. Reflecting Storch's life in Italy. C. Praising an admirable character. D. Attracting visitors from Europe. 2.

C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇应用文，主要介绍了2024年威尼斯双年展的一些展览活动和内容。 【1题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第二段 “With over 200 images, Storch's project aims to tell the Greenlanders' history, not seen through the visitors' eyes, but through the Greenlanders' own.”（Storch的项目通过200多幅图片，旨在讲述格陵兰人的历史，不是通过游客的眼睛，而是通过格陵兰人自己的眼睛。）可知，Rise of the Sunken Sun这个展览的目的是展示格陵兰的历史。故选A。 【2题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第四段“This exhibition will examine the life and works of M. F. Husain, a modernist painter called “India’s Picasso”.”.（这个展览将研究M. F. Husain的生活和作品，他是一个被称为“印度的毕加索”的现代主义画家。）可知，被誉为“印度的毕加索”的是M. F. Husain。故选B。 【3题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第五段“Inspired by the architecture of the Museo di Palazzo Grimani and the experience of moving through Venice and its waterways, the exhibition features new paintings by Rick Lowe that reflect his consideration of the arch(拱) in architecture.”（受到Museo di Palazzo Grimani的建筑和在威尼斯及其水道中移动的经验的启发，展览展出了Rick Lowe的新画作，反映了他对建筑中的拱的考虑。）可知，如果你想看到受威尼斯启发的画作，你应该去 Arch within the Arc这个活动。故选C。 B Google co-founders Larry Page and Sergey Brin began to declare very strange plans every April Fool’s Day not long after starting their company more than a quarter century ago. One year, they posted a job opening for a Copernicus research center on the moon. Usually, their ideas were so absurd that people learned to laugh them off as another example of joke. That’s how their plan about Gmail was received when it was made public 20 years ago on April Fool’s Day. They said it would be a free email service that would store about 13500 emails each account before running out of space, while the other webmail services run by Yahoo and Microsoft could store just 30 to 60 emails. Besides the storage, they declared, Gmail would be equipped with Google’s search technology so users could quickly find an old email, photo or other personal information stored on the service. It would also automatically string together all of the communications about the same topic so they could be read as if it was a single conversation. It was such a surprising concept that shortly after The Associated Press published a story about Gmail late on the afternoon of April Fool’s Day in 2004, readers began calling and emailing to inform the news agency that it had been fooled by the Google founders. But The AP knew Google wasn’t joking about Gmail because an AP reporter had been invited to the company to see what they were working on. In his office, Page, then just 31 years old, showed the reporter how nicely Gmail operated. “I think people are really going to like this,” Page predicted. As with so many other things, Page was right. Gmail now has more than 1.8 billion active accounts and has become the first building block in Google’s internet empire beyond its search engine. After Gmail came Google Maps and Google Docs with word processing applications. Then came the video site YouTube, followed by the introduction of the Android operating system that powers most of the world’s smartphones. “That is part of the fun, making a product that people won’t believe is real,”said Marissa Mayer who helpedto design Gmail. 4. What does the word “absurd” underlined in paragraph 1 mean? A. Creative. B. Strange. C. Popular. D. Practical. 5. Compared with Gmail, the other webmail services _______. A. could store less information B. were unsafe to store information C. were more convenient to use D. could put all related mails together 6. Why did The AP decide to publish the Gmail story on April Fool’s Day in 2004? A. It was fooled by Page and Brin. B. It wanted to play a joke on the public. C. It had accepted money from Google. D. It was sure the surprising story was true. 7. Which application came out first? A. Gmail. B. Google Maps. C. Google search. D. Google Docs. 【答案】4. B 5. A 6. D 7. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了谷歌创始人Larry Page和Sergey Brin喜欢在愚人节发布奇怪的计划，所以当他们提出Gmail的想法时，公众都以为是个玩笑，但出人意料的是，Gmail后来大为成功。 【4题详解】 词句猜测题。根据画线词后面的“people learned to laugh them off as another example of joke”可知，人们把这些想法当作笑话一笑了之，再结合第一段第一句“Google co-founders Larry Page and Sergey Brin began to declare very strange plans every April Fool’s Day not long after starting their company more than a quarter century ago.(谷歌联合创始人Larry Page和Sergey Brin在25多年前创办公司后不久，就开始在每年愚人节宣布非常奇怪的计划)”可推出，他们在愚人节提出的想法非常奇怪、荒诞，absurd意为“荒谬的”，与strange意思最接近。故选B。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中的“They said it would be a free email service that would store about 13,500 emails each account before running out of space, while the other webmail services run by Yahoo and Microsoft could store just 30 to 60 emails.(他们表示，这将是一项免费的电子邮件服务，在空间用尽之前，每个账户将存储约13500封电子邮件，而雅虎和微软运营的其他网络邮件服务只能存储30至60封电子邮件)”可知，谷歌的Gmail能够存储约13500封电子邮件，而雅虎和微软运营的其他网络邮件服务只能存储30至60封电子邮件。由此可知，其他网络邮件服务存储的邮件数量小于Gmail。故选A。 【6题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段“But The AP knew Google wasn’t joking about Gmail because an AP reporter had been invited to the company to see what they were working on. In his office, Page, then just 31 years old, showed the reporter how nicely Gmail operated. “I think people are really going to like this,” Page predicted.(但美联社知道谷歌并不是在开关于Gmail的玩笑，因为美联社的一名记者被邀请到该公司看看他们在做什么。当时只有31岁的Page在他的办公室里向记者展示了Gmail的运行情况。Page预测说：“我认为人们真的会喜欢这个。”)”可知，美联社的记者现场考查了Gmail的有关情况，所以他们确信这个令人惊讶的消息是真实的。故选D。 【7题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“Besides the storage, they declared, Gmail would be equipped with Google’s search technology so users could quickly find an old email, photo or other personal information stored on the service.(他们宣称，除了存储之外，Gmail还将配备谷歌的搜索技术，这样用户就可以快速找到存储在该服务上的旧电子邮件、照片或其他个人信息)”和第五段中的“After Gmail came Google Maps and Google Docs with word processing applications.(继Gmail之后，推出了带有文字处理应用程序的Google Maps和Google Docs)”可知，谷歌应用的出现顺序是：谷歌搜索、Gmail、Google Maps和Google Docs。故选C。 C On the top floor of a workshop in Athens, Greece, a team of artists are busy creating faithful copies of the famous statue of Alexander the Great and the Venus de Milo. “Our work mostly ends up at gift shops around the world. Museums also ask us to make copies of artworks. Prices start at $24 for a small Venus statue and go as high as $11,560 for a faithful copy of it.” says Maria Zafeiri, an artist at the workshop for 30 years. “It’s exciting when our statues end up in a museum and thousands of eyes admire them. They bring even more visitors to Greece.” Making copies of ancient Greek statues isn’t new. Researchers and artists began reproducing ancient Greek sculptures shortly after the National Archaeological Museum in Athens opened in 1829. “The first copies were not for commercial reasons, but for scientific ones. Scholars wanted to study the ancients.” says Maria Zafeiri. “Later, everyone wanted statues in their house, above the fireplace. They were in all European living rooms.” Some copies of ancient statues were terrible, but other reproductions were so faithful that they ended up in places like the Getty Museum in Los Angeles. In 2018, the museum determined its famous Kouros statue—supposed to date from 650 to 480 BC and bought for $6 million—was probably a forgery (赝品), and removed it from view. “There are methods to fool the experts.” Maria Zafeiri says. “Such forgeries create a false image of Greek culture and mislead researchers.” But aren’t Maria Zafeiri and her workshop also producing forgeries? “I think the difference between a forgery and a reproduction is the intention. There are reproductions of designer bags, but that becomes forgeries when the reproducer says they’re real.” says Maria Zafeiri. “Our shop just feeds the desire of travelers to own something lovely to pack up or ship home. A good reproduction can extend your trip. It’s similar to a photograph of yourself while on vacation, it brings you back to that beautiful day at the Acropolis.” 8. How does Maria Zafeiri most probably feel about her work? A. Ashamed. B. Proud. C. Bored. D. Dissatisfied. 9. Who were the targeted customers of the reproduced ancient Greek statues in the 1830s? A. Researchers. B. Businessmen. C. Souvenir seekers. D. Treasure hunters. 10. What can be inferred about the Kouros statue bought by the Getty Museum? A. The reproduction was worth the money. B. The museum had a lot of such forgeries. C. It was probably from a skilled artist. D. It was created between 650 and 480 BC. 11. What sets a forgery apart from a reproduction according to Maria Zafeiri? A. The price. B. The material. C. The quality. D. The purpose. 【答案】8. B 9. A 10. C 11. D 【解析】 【导语】本文为一篇说明文，讲述了一位希腊艺术家Maria Zafeiri与其工作室复制古希腊雕塑的故事，探讨了复制品与赝品的区别及对文化的影响。 【8题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第二段“Our work mostly ends up at gift shops around the world. Museums also ask us to make copies of artworks.(我们的作品大多在世界各地的礼品店出售。博物馆也要求我们复制艺术品)”以及“It’s exciting when our statues end up in a museum and thousands of eyes admire them. They bring even more visitors to Greece.(当我们的雕像最终进入博物馆，成千上万的眼睛欣赏它们时，这是令人兴奋的。它们为希腊带来了更多的游客)”可知，他们的作品会出现在世界各地，也会出现在博物馆，尤其是进入博物馆的作品得到了欣赏的目光，为希腊带来了跟多的游客，这是令人兴奋的。由此可推知，对于自己的作品，她是感到骄傲的。故选B项。 【9题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第三段“Researchers and artists began reproducing ancient Greek sculptures shortly after the National Archaeological Museum in Athens opened in 1829.(雅典国家考古博物馆于1829年开馆后不久，研究人员和艺术家就开始复制古希腊雕塑)”以及第四段内容“The first copies were not for commercial reasons, but for scientific ones. Scholars wanted to study the ancients.(最初的复制品不是出于商业原因，而是出于科学原因。学者们想研究古人)”可知，1829年以后出现了对古希腊雕塑的复制，而最初的复制是出于科学研究原因，因此可推知，19世纪30年代复制的古希腊雕像的目标客户是学者，研究人员。故选A项。 【10题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第五段“but other reproductions were so faithful that they ended up in places like the Getty Museum in Los Angeles. In 2018, the museum determined its famous Kouros statue—supposed to date from 650 to 480 BC and bought for $6 million—was probably a forgery, and removed it from view.(但是其他的复制品是如此的忠实准确，以至于它们最终出现在了洛杉矶的盖蒂博物馆。2018年，博物馆确定其著名的Kouros雕像——据说可以追溯到公元前650年至480年，以600万美元购买——可能是一件赝品，并将其从视野中移除)”可知，该雕像被复制的如此忠实于原作，以致于被Getty Museum博物馆以600万美元购买，且非常著名。由此可推知，其复制者应该是一个技艺高超的艺术家。故选C项。 【11题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章末尾段“I think the difference between a forgery and a reproduction is the intention.(我认为伪造和复制的区别在于意图)”可知，在她看来，两者的区别在于创作者的意图和目的。故选D项。 D Having studied more than 400 groups of honeybees in Brazil for two years, a group of biologists led by Viviana Di Pietro report that, like humans, honeybees are capable of learning new traditions which are then handed down over generations. “The most obvious example is that honeybees can build their homes according to different architectural traditions which are then handed down over generations,” they write. “We found that around 95% of the honeybees built their homes in a horizontal (与地面平行的) style, while 5% of them preferred a spiral (螺旋形的) structure. In each case, the tradition was passed down to the next generations.” Since honeybees showed a strong preference for a horizontal structure, it was surprising that spiral structures occurred at all. “With the help of video cameras, we found that there was a noticeable difference in average building rate between the two styles.” the researchers add. In order to rule out a genetic (遗传的) explanation for the different styles, the researchers took honeybees from the groups that built in spiral tradition close to the groups that built in horizontal tradition. The imported honeybees soon learned to build their homes in the local style, which was then passed down to their children as they eventually grew up. “It is very likely that the imported honeybees might have changed the style as a way of correcting the construction errors made by their ancestors.” the researchers suggest. The findings have surprised observers of animal culture, as they suggest that honeybees can learn and hand down different building traditions over generations. This has changed the way of thinking about culture, which is often strictly defined as behaviour directly handed down from human parents to their children until it becomes a tradition in a group. “Insect culture was thought impossible. Less than a century ago, culture was thought to be uniquely human,” says biologist Andrew Whiten of the University of St Andrews, who was not involved in the research. “But the new research has offered strong evidence pointing to the opposite.” 12. Why do most honeybees prefer a horizontal structure according to the research? A. It is easier to be copied. B. It is a bit stronger. C. It is more comfortable. D. It is faster to build. 13 What does the underlined word “they” in paragraph 5refer to? A. Scientists. B. Traditions. C. Findings. D. Parents. 14. Which word best describes Andrew Whiten’s attitude to the new research? A. Favorable. B. Disapproving. C. Doubtful. D. Unclear. 15. What is the best title for the text? A. Researchers Have Different Views on Animal Culture B. Honeybees May Learn and Preserve Cultural Traditions C. Honeybees Can Learn Building Skills From Their Neighbors D. Researchers Have Misunderstood Honeybees for a Long Time 【答案】12. D 13. C 14. A 15. B 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了研究表明蜜蜂能学习并传承建造巢穴的不同传统，颠覆了文化仅为人类独有的观念，为动物文化提供了有力证据。 【12题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段“Since honeybees showed a strong preference for a horizontal structure, it was surprising that spiral structures occurred at all. “With the help of video cameras, we found that there was a noticeable difference in average building rate between the two styles.” the researchers add.(由于蜜蜂表现出对水平结构的强烈偏好，螺旋结构的出现令人惊讶。“在摄像机的帮助下，我们发现这两种风格的平均建筑速率有明显差异。”研究人员补充道)”可知，摄像机发现水平结构和螺旋结构在建筑速率上有很大的差异。由此可推知，水平结构的风格受到蜜蜂的强烈偏好是因为它比螺旋结构建设起来更快。故选D。 【13题详解】 词句猜测题。根据划线单词所在句子的前半句话“The findings have surprised observers of animal culture(这些发现令动物文化的观察者感到惊讶)”可知，这些发现令动物文化的观察者感到惊讶，因为这些发现表明蜜蜂可以学习并代代相传不同的建筑传统。所以they指代前文中的“The findings”。故选C。 【14题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段““Insect culture was thought impossible. Less than a century ago, culture was thought to be uniquely human,” says biologist Andrew Whiten of the University of St Andrews, who was not involved in the research. “But the new research has offered strong evidence pointing to the opposite.”(“昆虫培养被认为是不可能的。不到一个世纪前，文化被认为是人类独有的，”圣安德鲁斯大学的生物学家安德鲁·怀特说，他没有参与这项研究。“但这项新研究提供了强有力的证据，指向相反的方向。”)”可知，Andrew Whiten认为这项新研究提供了强有力的证据，指向相反的方向。由此可推知，他对这项新的研究持支持或赞许的态度。故选A。 【15题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第一段“Having studied more than 400 groups of honeybees in Brazil for two years, a group of biologists led by Viviana Di Pietro report that, like humans, honeybees are capable of learning new traditions which are then handed down over generations.(Viviana Di Pietro领导的一组生物学家对巴西400多组蜜蜂进行了两年的研究，他们报告说，蜜蜂和人类一样，能够学习新的传统，然后代代相传)”以及全文可知，文章主要介绍了研究表明蜜蜂能学习并传承建造巢穴的不同传统，颠覆了文化仅为人类独有的观念，为动物文化提供了有力证据。所以“蜜蜂可以学习和保护文化传统”适合作文章的标题，既概括了蜜蜂的学习能力也涵盖了文化的传承方面。故选B。 第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Setting limits on TV and video games for kids isn't always easy in today's screen-filled world.

My mom got the needed information and within a few days I was ready to start! When I got there, I was extremely nervous. The group wasn’t very welcoming so I was regretting signing up. It seemed they were comfortable with the team they had, and they didn’t want anyone to be added to it. But after working together for a few days, we all soon became friends. A month passed and I learned to do many things. I was excited and ready to learn back handsprings(手翻). Back handsprings are one of the main things you need to know for gymnastics because they are done so often. In my opinion, they are the hardest to do, but I was ready to try. My friend was the queen of back handsprings, so she helped me understand each and every step. Our coach pulled out a handspring machine to help the kids who were learning how to do them for the first time. This machine is a block that has cushion(垫子) all around it. You basically sit in the mouth of the machine and push off with your feet and go backwards until you land on your hands, then feet. Even with the handspring machine, I couldn’t get my feet right, so I had to try again and again. Impatient, some of the girls seemed to get angry. I was feeling like the new kid in the group again. The new kid that didn’t know what she was doing but everyone else knew it! 注意：1. 续写词数应为150个左右； 2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Luckily, my friend, the queen of back handsprings, kept encouraging me. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ One day, I finally got it right. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】One possible version: Luckily, my friend, the queen of back handsprings, kept encouraging me. She said, “It’s OK. You’ll get it. It just needs constant practice.” She reminded me that she also found it difficult in the beginning and it took her a while to get it right. Her words helped me to keep going. And so, with her help and my own determination, I kept trying again and again. I practised every day after school, and even on weekends, if I had time, I would try to practise what my friend had shown me. One day, I finally got it right. I remember feeling a sense of achievement and joy. And then, just like that, my confidence started to grow. I started to feel like I belonged there, and that I was part of something special. I began to find the new kid and the dissatisfaction of some of the girls in the group were gone, and that I was now the confident girl who knew what she was doing. I realized that success doesn’t come easily, but with hard work and determination, anything is possible. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了作者的朋友邀请她去参加体操班，她在里面学到了很多，准备练习后手翻，作者的脚的位置总是不正确，不得不一遍遍练习，作者的朋友是后手翻女王，她安慰并鼓励作者，作者刻苦练习，最终做对了动作，在队伍中有了归属感，找回了自信。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“幸运的是，我的朋友，后手翻女王，一直鼓励我。”可知，第一段可描写作者的朋友安慰并鼓励作者，作者刻苦练习。 ②由第二段首句内容“有一天，我终于做对了。”可知，第二段可描写作者终于做对了动作，自信增加，开始有了归属感及感悟。 2.续写线索：朋友安慰及鼓励——作者刻苦练习——做对动作——自信增加——有了归属感——感悟 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①认为：find/figure ②意识到：realize/be aware/recognize 情绪类 ①快乐/满足：joy/satisfaction/happiness ②决心：determination/resolution 【点睛】[高分句型1].

With the main event running from April 20 to November 24,2024, here's our pick of what to see if you head to Venice. Willem de Kooning e l’Italia One of the most influential artists of the 20th century, Willem de Kooning is the subject of a major exhibition(展览) exploring his time in 1959 and 1969 and the impact it had on his works. The show will bring together around 75 works, making this the largest presentation of the artist ever organized in Italy. Rise of the Sunken Sun This photography exhibition by Greenlandic artist Inuuteq Storch marks the first time that the Danish Pavilion has showcased both a major exhibition by an artist from Greenland and a presentation on photography. With over 200 images, Storch's project aims to tell the Greenlanders' history, not seen through the visitors' eyes, but through the Greenlanders' own. The Rooted Nomad This exhibition will examine the life and works of M. F. Husain, a modernist painter called “India’s Picasso”. Celebrating his talent as an artist, thinker and writer, the show exhibits his paintings, photographs, letters and parts from his films and poetry that shaped his vision of India as a richly layered cultural nation. The Arch within the Arc The exhibition in Italy of Houston-based artist Rick Lowe takes place at Palazzo Grimani, home to a large collection of 16th-century Greek and Roman sculpture(雕像). Inspired by the architecture of the Museo di Palazzo Grimani and the experience of moving through Venice and its waterways, the exhibition features new paintings by Rick Lowe that reflect his consideration of the arch(拱) in architecture. 1. What is Rise of the Sunken Sun intended for? A. Showing Greenland's history. B. Reflecting Storch's life in Italy. C. Praising an admirable character. D. Attracting visitors from Europe. 2.

A The Rooted Nomad. B. Rise of the Sunken Sun. C. The Arch within the Arc. D. Willem de Kooning e l’Italia. B Google co-founders Larry Page and Sergey Brin began to declare very strange plans every April Fool’s Day not long after starting their company more than a quarter century ago. One year, they posted a job opening for a Copernicus research center on the moon. Usually, their ideas were so absurd that people learned to laugh them off as another example of joke. That’s how their plan about Gmail was received when it was made public 20 years ago on April Fool’s Day. They said it would be a free email service that would store about 13,500 emails each account before running out of space, while the other webmail services run by Yahoo and Microsoft could store just 30 to 60 emails. Besides the storage, they declared, Gmail would be equipped with Google’s search technology so users could quickly find an old email, photo or other personal information stored on the service. It would also automatically string together all of the communications about the same topic so they could be read as if it was a single conversation. It was such a surprising concept that shortly after The Associated Press published a story about Gmail late on the afternoon of April Fool’s Day in 2004, readers began calling and emailing to inform the news agency that it had been fooled by the Google founders. But The AP knew Google wasn’t joking about Gmail because an AP reporter had been invited to the company to see what they were working on. In his office, Page, then just 31 years old, showed the reporter how nicely Gmail operated. “I think people are really going to like this,” Page predicted. As with so many other things, Page was right. Gmail now has more than 1.8 billion active accounts and has become the first building block in Google’s internet empire beyond its search engine. After Gmail came Google Maps and Google Docs with word processing applications. Then came the video site YouTube, followed by the introduction of the Android operating system that powers most of the world’s smartphones. “That is part of the fun, making a product that people won’t believe is real,”said Marissa Mayer who helpedto design Gmail. 4. What does the word “absurd” underlined in paragraph 1 mean? A. Creative. B. Strange. C. Popular. D. Practical. 5. Compared with Gmail, the other webmail services _______. A. could store less information B. were unsafe to store information C. were more convenient to use D. could put all related mails together 6. Why did The AP decide to publish the Gmail story on April Fool’s Day in 2004? A. It was fooled by Page and Brin. B. It wanted to play a joke on the public. C. It had accepted money from Google. D. It was sure the surprising story was true. 7. Which application came out first? A. Gmail. B. Google Maps. C. Google search. D. Google Docs. C On the top floor of a workshop in Athens, Greece, a team of artists are busy creating faithful copies of the famous statue of Alexander the Great and the Venus de Milo. “Our work mostly ends up at gift shops around the world. Museums also ask us to make copies of artworks. Prices start at $24 for a small Venus statue and go as high as $11,560 for a faithful copy of it.” says Maria Zafeiri, an artist at the workshop for 30 years. “It’s exciting when our statues end up in a museum and thousands of eyes admire them. They bring even more visitors to Greece.” Making copies of ancient Greek statues isn’t new. Researchers and artists began reproducing ancient Greek sculptures shortly after the National Archaeological Museum in Athens opened in 1829. “The first copies were not for commercial reasons but for scientific ones. Scholars wanted to study the ancients.” says Maria Zafeiri. “Later, everyone wanted statues in their house, above the fireplace. They were in all European living rooms.” Some copies of ancient statues were terrible, but other reproductions were so faithful that they ended up in places like the Getty Museum in Los Angeles. In 2018, the museum determined its famous Kouros statue—supposed to date from 650 to 480 BC and bought for $6 million—was probably a forgery (赝品), and removed it from view. “There are methods to fool the experts.” Maria Zafeiri says. “Such forgeries create a false image of Greek culture and mislead researchers.” But aren’t Maria Zafeiri and her workshop also producing forgeries? “I think the difference between a forgery and a reproduction is the intention. There are reproductions of designer bags, but that becomes forgeries when the reproducer says they’re real.” says Maria Zafeiri. “Our shop just feeds the desire of travelers to own something lovely to pack up or ship home. A good reproduction can extend your trip. It’s similar to a photograph of yourself while on vacation, it brings you back to that beautiful day at the Acropolis.” 8. How does Maria Zafeiri most probably feel about her work? A. Ashamed. B. Proud. C. Bored. D. Dissatisfied. 9. Who were the targeted customers of the reproduced ancient Greek statues in the 1830s? A. Researchers. B. Businessmen. C. Souvenir seekers. D. Treasure hunters. 10. What can be inferred about the Kouros statue bought by the Getty Museum? A. The reproduction was worth the money. B. The museum had a lot of such forgeries. C. It was probably from a skilled artist. D. It was created between 650 and 480 BC. 11. What sets a forgery apart from a reproduction according to Maria Zafeiri? A. The price. B. The material. C. The quality. D. The purpose. D Having studied more than 400 groups of honeybees in Brazil for two years, a group of biologists led by Viviana Di Pietro report that, like humans, honeybees are capable of learning new traditions which are then handed down over generations. “The most obvious example is that honeybees can build their homes according to different architectural traditions which are then handed down over generations,” they write. “We found that around 95% of the honeybees built their homes in a horizontal (与地面平行的) style, while 5% of them preferred a spiral (螺旋形的) structure. In each case, the tradition was passed down to the next generations.” Since honeybees showed a strong preference for a horizontal structure, it was surprising that spiral structures occurred at all. “With the help of video cameras, we found that there was a noticeable difference in average building rate between the two styles.” the researchers add. In order to rule out a genetic (遗传的) explanation for the different styles, the researchers took honeybees from the groups that built in spiral tradition close to the groups that built in horizontal tradition. The imported honeybees soon learned to build their homes in the local style, which was then passed down to their children as they eventually grew up. “It is very likely that the imported honeybees might have changed the style as a way of correcting the construction errors made by their ancestors.” the researchers suggest. The findings have surprised observers of animal culture as they suggest that honeybees can learn and hand down different building traditions over generations. This has changed the way of thinking about culture, which is often strictly defined as behaviour directly handed down from human parents to their children until it becomes a tradition in a group. “Insect culture was thought impossible. Less than a century ago, culture was thought to be uniquely human,” says biologist Andrew Whiten of the University of St Andrews, who was not involved in the research. “But the new research has offered strong evidence pointing to the opposite.” 12. Why do most honeybees prefer a horizontal structure according to the research? A. It is easier to be copied. B. It is a bit stronger. C. It is more comfortable. D. It is faster to build. 13. What does the underlined word “they” in paragraph 5refer to? A. Scientists. B. Traditions. C. Findings. D. Parents. 14. Which word best describes Andrew Whiten’s attitude to the new research? A. Favorable. B. Disapproving. C. Doubtful. D. Unclear. 15. What is the best title for the text? A. Researchers Have Different Views on Animal Culture B. Honeybees May Learn and Preserve Cultural Traditions C. Honeybees Can Learn Building Skills From Their Neighbors D. Researchers Have Misunderstood Honeybees for a Long Time 第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Setting limits on TV and video games for kids isn't always easy in today's screen-filled world.

My mom got the needed information and within a few days I was ready to start! When I got there, I was extremely nervous. The group wasn’t very welcoming so I was regretting signing up. It seemed they were comfortable with the team they had, and they didn’t want anyone to be added to it. But after working together for a few days, we all soon became friends. A month passed and I learned to do many things. I was excited and ready to learn back handsprings(手翻). Back handsprings are one of the main things you need to know for gymnastics because they are done so often. In my opinion, they are the hardest to do, but I was ready to try. My friend was the queen of back handsprings, so she helped me understand each and every step. Our coach pulled out a handspring machine to help the kids who were learning how to do them for the first time. This machine is a block that has cushion(垫子) all around it. You basically sit in the mouth of the machine and push off with your feet and go backwards until you land on your hands, then feet. Even with the handspring machine, I couldn’t get my feet right, so I had to try again and again. Impatient, some of the girls seemed to get angry. I was feeling like the new kid in the group again. The new kid that didn’t know what she was doing but everyone else knew it! 注意：1. 续写词数应为150个左右； 2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Luckily, my friend, the queen of back handsprings, kept encouraging me. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ One day, I finally got it right. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
