Stories of Art: 1800-1900
About
This series of online lectures is produced by the National Gallery, London, through which you can learn about the art of different periods with Dr Amy Mechowski. Each lecture lasts 2 hours, starting from 5:30 pm.
Week 1
In this first section, Amy Mechowski will give a brief introduction to this module. Then we will be joined by Dr Susanna Avery-Quash, who will report on the National Gallery’s foundation and its development under Charles Eastlake, the first director of the National Gallery, from 1855 to 1865.
Week 2
With the realists, represented by Courbet, Millet, and Manet in France and important contributions to social realism by members of the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood (拉斐尔前派) and others in England, direct observation came to the forefront of artistic practice.
Week 3
From their first independent exhibition in 1874, the group of artists known as the impressionists forever changed approaches to painting. Significantly, the works of women artists, who were regarded by their contemporaries as important members of this group, including Berthe Morisot and Mary Cassatt, came into focus.
Week 4
With the last of the independent exhibitions in 1886 came the debut (首次亮相)of artists for whom the English art critic Roger Fry coined the term “Post-Impressionists” 20 years later.

Emma Timmis, 37, covered 1,300 miles during her journey from Cape Reinga, at the top of the country, to Bluff, and she did it in just 20 days and 17 hours, shattering the previous record of 35 days and 27 minutes.
To raise money for the charity, she covered around 62 miles a day while battling very hot temperatures, and she also had to avoid terrifying traffic and deal with the physical suffering of running on roads, which she described as “damaging”.
She said, “The aim was always to do roughly 100 km a day, and based on my averages from my calculations I’ve now done after the run I averaged 98.8 km a day. There was a lot of difficulties at the beginning, which meant I couldn’t complete 100 km a day, so towards the end I was having to do over 100 km a day to get the run done in good time.”
“Loads of people across the country were following me, people I’d have never met otherwise. People would just show up and run alongside me parts of the way, and children would wait with their families at the ends of driveways to cheer me on. People would stop in cars with banners at the side of the road and cheer me on. It was just amazing. I was absolutely blown away by the support,” she said.
As a repeat record-breaker, Emma has previously run 1,500 miles across South Africa in 2011, before crossing the continent of Africa in 2014. Explaining why she was such a keen runner, Emma said, “I’ve been running since I was 12. I used to run for Derby Ladies Athletics club. I’ve just run ever since. It’s my thing — it keeps me happy. It’s always been something I turn to just to have private moments of reflection. I also just love being out in nature in the hills and forests — it’s really good for your mind.”
4. What does the underlined word “shattering” in paragraph 1 probably mean?
A. Creating. B. Beating.
C. Tracking. D. Supporting.
5. Emma Timmis finished 1,300 miles with daily runs .
A. of 100 km B. of 98.8 km
C. from less to more D. from more to less
6. How did Emma Timmis feel about people’s support along the way?
A. Pleasantly surprised. B. Absolutely crazy.
C. Totally regretful. D. Strangely calm.
7. What do we know about Emma Timmis?
A. She refused to run in hot weather.
B. She set up Derby Ladies Athletics club.
C. She has no damaging physical suffering.
D. She enjoys the moments of running alone.
【答案】4. B 5. C 6. A 7. D
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇新闻报道。讲述了37岁的Emma Timmis打破长跑纪录的经历,包括她的每日里程、遇到的困难、沿途获得的支持以及她对跑步的热爱。
【4题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第一段“Emma Timmis, 37, covered 1,300 miles during her journey from Cape Reinga, at the top of the country, to Bluff, and she did it in just 20 days and 17 hours, shattering the previous record of 35 days and 27 minutes. (37岁的Emma Timmis在20天17小时内跑完了1300英里,_____之前35天27分钟的纪录)”可知,同样的距离,完成时间从35天27分钟缩减至20天17小时,此处shattering意为“打破”记录,与Beating意思相近。故选B。
【5题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段“There was a lot of difficulties at the beginning, which meant I couldn’t complete 100 km a day, so towards the end I was having to do over 100 km a day to get the run done in good time. (一开始有很多困难,这意味着我每天无法完成100公里,所以到最后我不得不每天跑100多公里才能完成目标)”可知,Emma Timmis的每日跑步里程是从少到多。故选C。
【6题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段“I was absolutely blown away by the support (我被这些支持彻底震撼了)”可知,Emma Timmis对沿途人们的支持感到惊喜。故选A。
【7题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段“I’ve just run ever since. It’s my thing — it keeps me happy. It’s always been something I turn to just to have private moments of reflection. (从那以后我就一直在跑步。这是我的事,它让我快乐。这一直是我用来进行独自反思的方式)”可知,Emma Timmis享受独自跑步的时刻。故选D。
C
More than a third of food grown in the US goes uneaten, and that percentage has increased in the past five years. Much of that food ends up in landfills, where it breaks down, creating a gas that contributes to global warming. A company based in Denmark has spent the past eight years working to bring that percentage down by helping restaurants sell food cheaply.
Too Good To Go, an app starting in Denmark and with participating stores in 17 countries today, works with businesses to sell their end-of-day leftovers for 60%-80% off. By matching hungry, cost-conscious customers with surplus food, the app’s creators say they reduce waste, one bag of saved food at a time.
MacAulay, the app’s US country manager, says the cheaper price tag and the recovered business costs are great side effects, but the main point is really around reducing food waste. “When someone buys a ‘surprise bag’, the app adds that purchase (购买) to his/her lifetime climate impact record. It displays all the electricity and the carbon emissions (排放) prevented from going to waste.”
“We’ve saved over 250 million meals,” MacAulay says. “So if you think about the scale, it is having an impact.” According to the app’s estimate, that translates to taking about 135,000 cars off the road for a year, because apart from the global warming gas released by the rotten food in landfills, the climate impact also includes the land and water used to grow that food and the gas used to power the trucks and factories that prepare and transport food.
“That’s a huge amount, especially considering that in the US all food loss and waste accounts for about 6% of the total greenhouse gas emissions footprint,” says Alexandria Coari with the food waste nonprofit ReFED. “Marked-down alert apps like Too Good To Go are especially popular among businesses that produce baked goods, so there’s no shortage of pastries and pizzas available. I think in the areas where they are trying to expand into retail grocery, even into manufacturing, there’s still a little bit to be figured out there.”
8. How does the app function?
A. By collecting wasted food around. B. By buying food directly from local suppliers.
C. By selling leftovers cheaply to buyers in need. D. By matching factories with the remaining food.
9. What will the app record after a “surprise bag” is sold?
A. The updated information of “surprise bags”. B. The buyer’s effort to reduce climate impacts.
C. The carbon emissions caused by this purchase. D. The amount of electricity used in this purchase.
10. What does the author mainly intend to show in paragraph 4?
A. The wide use of the app. B. The effect brought by the app.
C. The harm caused by food waste. D. The impact of cars on the climate.
11. What might the app focus on for its future development according to Coari?
A. Cooperation with more bakeries. B. Setting up a food waste nonprofit.
C. Expanding business to other areas. D. Giving out more “surprise bags”.
【答案】8 C 9. B 10. B 11. C
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章介绍了一种应用程序,它能将餐馆的剩余食品以非常低的价格卖给有需要的顾客,这种做法极大地减少了因食物浪费造成的气候影响。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“Too Good To Go, an app starting in Denmark and with participating stores in 17 countries today, works with businesses to sell their end-of-day leftovers for 60%-80% off. By matching hungry, cost-conscious customers with surplus food, the app’s creators say they reduce waste, one bag of saved food at a time.(“Too Good To Go”是一款起源于丹麦的应用程序,目前在17个国家都有合作门店。该应用与商家合作,以低于原价60%至80%的价格出售商家当天剩余的食品。通过将有饥饿感且注重成本的顾客与剩余食物进行匹配,该应用程序的开发者表示,他们能够逐步减少浪费,每次节省一袋食物)”可知,该应用程序与一些餐馆合作,低价售卖剩余食品给有需要的顾客。故选C。
【9题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段““When someone buys a ‘surprise bag’, the app adds that purchase (购买) to his/her lifetime climate impact record. It displays all the electricity and the carbon emissions (排放) prevented from going to waste.”(“当有人购买‘惊喜礼包’时,该应用程序会将此次购买计入其一生的气候影响记录中。它还会显示所有节省下来的电能以及避免产生的碳排放量。”)”可知,当“惊喜礼包”售出后,该应用程序会记录买家为减少气候影响所做出的努力。故选B。
【10题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段““We’ve saved over 250 million meals,” MacAulay says. “So if you think about the scale, it is having an impact.” According to the app’s estimate, that translates to taking about 135,000 cars off the road for a year, because apart from the global warming gas released by the rotten food in landfills, the climate impact also includes the land and water used to grow that food and the gas used to power the trucks and factories that prepare and transport food.(麦考利说:“我们已经节省了超过2.5亿份餐食。所以从规模上看,这确实产生了影响。”据该应用程序的估算,这意味着一年内约有13.5万辆汽车不再上路行驶,原因在于除了垃圾填埋场中腐烂食物所释放的温室气体外,气候影响还包括种植这些食物所占用的土地和水资源,以及用于准备和运输食物的卡车和工厂所消耗的能源)”可知,作者在本段主要想说明该应用程序带来的影响。故选B。
【11题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段“I think in the areas where they are trying to expand into retail grocery, even into manufacturing, there’s still a little bit to be figured out there.(我认为在他们试图拓展到零售食品杂货以及制造业领域的这些方面,仍有一些问题需要解决)”可知,此类应用程序正在试图将业务拓展到杂货零售店和制造业等领域。故选C。
D
Human beings have a conflicting relationship with the sun. People love sunshine; however, if you stay out too long or haven’t taken enough prevention, your skin will let you know the angry sunburn. First the heat, then the pain, then the regret. Were people always crazy about sunscreens? The answer is “no”.
With only their feet to carry them, our distant ancestors didn’t move around much during their lives. Their skin adapted to subtle, seasonal changes in sunlight and UV conditions by producing more eumelanin (真黑素) and becoming darker in the summer and then losing some pigment (色素) in the fall and winter when the sun wasn’t so strong. This is not to say that the skin would have been undamaged by today’s standards. We can infer from the effects of sun exposure (暴露) on modern people that the damage was similar.
As time goes by, people’s way of living changes as well. About 10,000 years ago, human beings made their living by gathering foods, hunting and fishing. By around 6,000 BC, many people were spending more time in walled settlements, and more time indoors. By at least 3,000 BC, a whole industry of sun protection grew up to create equipment of all sorts — hats, tents and clothing — that would protect people from the discomfort and unavoidable darkening of the skin related to lengthy sun exposure. In some places, people even developed protective pastes — early versions of modern sunscreens — to protect their exposed skin.
As people have moved around more and faster over longer distances in recent centuries, and spend more time indoors, their skin hasn’t caught up with their locations and lifestyle. Your levels of eumelanin probably aren’t perfectly adapted to the sun conditions where you live, so they aren’t able to protect you the same way they might have protected your ancient ancestors.
People may love the sun, but we’re not our ancestors. Humanity’s relationship with the sun has changed, and this means changing your behavior to save your skin.
12. What can be inferred from the text?
A. Ancestors’ skin suffered more sunburn.
B. Moving around helps increase eumelanin.
C. Eumelanin can help protect against sunburn.
D. The loss of pigment means no skin damage.
13. How is paragraph 3 mainly developed?
A. In spatial order. B. In time order.
C. By listing figures. D. By giving examples.
14. What factors contribute to the decline of people’s adaptability to the sun?
A. Changes of their lifestyle and locations.
B. The level of eumelanin and temperature.
C. UV conditions and the amount of sunlight.
D. Protection equipment and longer sun exposure.
15. What will most probably be talked about next?
A. Some tips for protecting the skin.
B. Risks of lasting exposure to the sun.
C. Benefits of adapting to the environment.
D. Examples of how sunlight affects the skin.
【答案】12. C 13. B 14. A 15. A
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了人类与太阳的关系变化及皮肤对阳光的适应性演变,并指出现代生活方式影响皮肤对阳光的适应能力。
【12题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段中“Their skin adapted to subtle, seasonal changes in sunlight and UV conditions by producing more eumelanin (真黑素) and becoming darker in the summer and then losing some pigment (色素) in the fall and winter when the sun wasn’t so strong. (他们的皮肤通过产生更多的真黑素来适应阳光和紫外线条件的细微季节性变化,在夏天变得更黑,然后在秋天和冬天当阳光不那么强烈时失去一些色素。)”可知,真黑素可以帮助保护皮肤免受晒伤。故选C。
【13题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段“As time goes by, people’s way of living changes as well. About 10,000 years ago, human beings made their living by gathering foods, hunting and fishing. By around 6,000 BC, many people were spending more time in walled settlements, and more time indoors. By at least 3,000 BC, a whole industry of sun protection grew up to create equipment of all sorts — hats, tents and clothing — that would protect people from the discomfort and unavoidable darkening of the skin related to lengthy sun exposure.(随着时间的推移,人们的生活方式也发生了变化。大约10000年前,人类靠采集食物、狩猎和捕鱼为生。到公元前6000年左右,许多人花更多的时间在有围墙的定居点,更多的时间在室内。至少在公元前3000年,一个完整的防晒产业兴起,创造了各种各样的设备——帽子、帐篷和衣服——可以保护人们免受长时间暴露在阳光下带来的不适和不可避免的皮肤变黑。)”可知,第三段按照时间顺序展开,讲述了人类防晒方式随时间的变化。故选B。
【14题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段“As people have moved around more and faster over longer distances in recent centuries, and spend more time indoors, their skin hasn’t caught up with their locations and lifestyle. Your levels of eumelanin probably aren’t perfectly adapted to the sun conditions where you live, so they aren’t able to protect you the same way they might have protected your ancient ancestors.(近几个世纪以来,人们在更长的距离上移动得更多更快,花更多的时间在室内,他们的皮肤还没有适应他们的位置和生活方式。你的真黑素水平可能并不完全适应你居住地的阳光条件,所以它们不能像保护你的古代祖先那样保护你。)”可知,人们生活方式和居住地点的变化导致皮肤对阳光的适应性下降。故选A。
【15题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“People may love the sun, but we’re not our ancestors. Humanity’s relationship with the sun has changed, and this means changing your behavior to save your skin.(人们可能喜欢太阳,但我们不是我们的祖先。人类与太阳的关系已经改变,这意味着要改变你的行为来保护你的皮肤。)”可知,文章最后强调了人类需要改变行为来保护皮肤,因此接下来最可能讨论的是保护皮肤的一些建议。故选A。

At first, you ____26____ that he must be choking (窒息). But after taking a minute to think more ____27____ about his body language — he’s dead now. Don’t be afraid to trust your first instinct with this stuff.
To ____28____ a relationship of trust with someone, you may find yourself automatically ____29____ his/her body language. When he/she shrugs, you shrug. He/She flips his/her hair; you flip yours. He/She says, “Stop that”; you say, “Stop that” — and that’s how quickly you can get _____30_____ by body language.
When your seatmate on a plane occupies the armrest, he/she is using body language to claim his/her _____31_____. Though it’s not exactly the same, there are some animal species that _____32_____ this behavior in the wild with their “armrests”.
As _____33_____ as body language can be with stabbings, it’s not an exact science. In fact, it’s not a science at all — it’s a language, and like all other languages it can be _____34_____. If you’ve ever asked where the bathroom is in Spanish and _____35_____ getting a colonoscopy (结肠镜检查), you know exactly what I mean.

【答案】Dear Sir or Madam,
I’m Li Hua, one of the students who attended the course English Film Appreciation last term. I like it very much mainly for the following two reasons. First, in the class, we are exposed to different kinds of English films. It helps us improve both our English listening and speaking skills. Apart from that, it is the amazing stories of the heroes that attract me most, because they show us that a person can work hard to make a difference.
As a young student, I suggest that the teacher choose some more films that appeal to us teenagers, thus making the course more interesting. Besides, more activities should be included so that we can have more chances to practice our English.
I’d appreciate it if you could take my suggestions into consideration. I hope that the course will gain wide popularity among the students in our school.
Sincerely yours,
Li Hua

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。
My wife called, “Will you come here and make your darling daughter eat her food?”
I threw the newspaper away and rushed to the scene. My only daughter looked frightened. Tears were welling up in her eyes. In front of her was a bowl filled with curd rice which she particularly hated. But my mother and my wife believed firmly that curd rice is beneficial to health. I cleared my throat, and picked up the bowl. “Dina, why don’t you take a few mouthfuls? Just for Dad’s sake, dear.” Dina softened a bit, and wiped her tears with the back of her hands. “OK, Dad. I will eat not just a few mouthfuls, but the whole lot. But, you should. She hesitated. “Dad, if I eat this entire curd rice, will you give me whatever I ask for?” “Oh sure, darling,” I replied. “Promise.”
My girl stared at her mom and continued, “Ask Mom also to give a promise.” My wife put her hand on Dina’s and said, “Promise.”
“Dear, you still want a new computer? Dad doesn’t have that kind of money right now. OK?”I became a bit anxious.
“No, Dad. I don’t want anything expensive,” Slowly and painfully, she finished eating the rice. Dina came to me with her eyes wide with expectation. All our attention was on her. She demanded, “Dad, I want to have my head shaved off this Sunday!” My wife shouted, “A girl having her head shaved off? Impossible!”
“Dina, can you ask for something else? Seeing you with a clean-shaven head, we’ll be sad,” I said. But Dina said, “No, Dad. I don’t want anything else. You promised to reward me with whatever I ask for. Now, you are going back on your words. Was it not you who told me the story of King Harishchandra, and its moral that we should honor our promises no matter what?” Dina was in tears.
It was time for me to call the shots for our promise must be kept.
注意:
1.续写词数应为150左右;
2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
I insisted that we must keep our words.
______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
A lady walked to me and told me that the boy walking along with my daughter was her son.
______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】I insisted that we must keep our words. I told my mother and wife that if we broke our promises, Dina would never learn to keep her own. So I told Dina her wish would be fulfilled. I accompanied her to the barber’s. With her head clean-shaven, Dina had a round-face, and her eyes looked big and beautiful. The next day, I dropped her at her school. I was about to leave when I heard someone shouting, “Dina, please wait for me!” It was a boy with a hairless head, too.
A lady walked to me and told me that the boy walking along with my daughter was her son. She told me Dina helped her son a lot. From her words, I knew her son was suffering from a terrible disease and lost all his hair due to the side effects of the treatment. He refused to come back to school, fearing the teasing of the schoolmates. Dina visited him last week and promised him that she would help him out. But the mother never imagined Dina would sacrifice her lovely hair for the sake of her son. I stood with tears welling up in my eyes. My little girl was a true angel!

Stories of Art: 1800-1900
About
This series of online lectures is produced by the National Gallery, London, through which you can learn about the art of different periods with Dr Amy Mechowski. Each lecture lasts 2 hours, starting from 5:30 pm.
Week 1
In this first section, Amy Mechowski will give a brief introduction to this module. Then we will be joined by Dr Susanna Avery-Quash, who will report on the National Gallery’s foundation and its development under Charles Eastlake, the first director of the National Gallery, from 1855 to 1865.
Week 2
With the realists, represented by Courbet, Millet, and Manet in France and important contributions to social realism by members of the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood (拉斐尔前派) and others in England, direct observation came to the forefront of artistic practice.
Week 3
From their first independent exhibition in 1874, the group of artists known as the impressionists forever changed approaches to painting. Significantly, the works of women artists, who were regarded by their contemporaries as important members of this group, including Berthe Morisot and Mary Cassatt, came into focus.
Week 4
With the last of the independent exhibitions in 1886 came the debut (首次亮相)of artists for whom the English art critic Roger Fry coined the term “Post-Impressionists” 20 years later

Emma Timmis, 37, covered 1,300 miles during her journey from Cape Reinga, at the top of the country, to Bluff, and she did it in just 20 days and 17 hours, shattering the previous record of 35 days and 27 minutes.
To raise money for the charity, she covered around 62 miles a day while battling very hot temperatures, and she also had to avoid terrifying traffic and deal with the physical suffering of running on roads, which she described as “damaging”.
She said, “The aim was always to do roughly 100 km a day, and based on my averages from my calculations I’ve now done after the run I averaged 98.8 km a day. There was a lot of difficulties at the beginning, which meant I couldn’t complete 100 km a day, so towards the end I was having to do over 100 km a day to get the run done in good time.”
“Loads of people across the country were following me, people I’d have never met otherwise. People would just show up and run alongside me parts of the way, and children would wait with their families at the ends of driveways to cheer me on. People would stop in cars with banners at the side of the road and cheer me on. It was just amazing. I was absolutely blown away by the support,” she said.
As a repeat record-breaker, Emma has previously run 1,500 miles across South Africa in 2011, before crossing the continent of Africa in 2014. Explaining why she was such a keen runner, Emma said, “I’ve been running since I was 12. I used to run for Derby Ladies Athletics club. I’ve just run ever since. It’s my thing — it keeps me happy. It’s always been something I turn to just to have private moments of reflection. I also just love being out in nature in the hills and forests — it’s really good for your mind.”

More than a third of food grown in the US goes uneaten, and that percentage has increased in the past five years. Much of that food ends up in landfills, where it breaks down, creating a gas that contributes to global warming. A company based in Denmark has spent the past eight years working to bring that percentage down by helping restaurants sell food cheaply.
Too Good To Go, an app starting in Denmark and with participating stores in 17 countries today, works with businesses to sell their end-of-day leftovers for 60%-80% off. By matching hungry, cost-conscious customers with surplus food, the app’s creators say they reduce waste, one bag of saved food at a time.
MacAulay, the app’s US country manager, says the cheaper price tag and the recovered business costs are great side effects, but the main point is really around reducing food waste. “When someone buys a ‘surprise bag’, the app adds that purchase (购买) to his/her lifetime climate impact record. It displays all the electricity and the carbon emissions (排放) prevented from going to waste.”
“We’ve saved over 250 million meals,” MacAulay says. “So if you think about the scale, it is having an impact.” According to the app’s estimate, that translates to taking about 135,000 cars off the road for a year, because apart from the global warming gas released by the rotten food in landfills, the climate impact also includes the land and water used to grow that food and the gas used to power the trucks and factories that prepare and transport food.
“That’s a huge amount, especially considering that in the US all food loss and waste accounts for about 6% of the total greenhouse gas emissions footprint,” says Alexandria Coari with the food waste nonprofit ReFED. “Marked-down alert apps like Too Good To Go are especially popular among businesses that produce baked goods, so there’s no shortage of pastries and pizzas available. I think in the areas where they are trying to expand into retail grocery, even into manufacturing, there’s still a little bit to be figured out there.”
8. How does the app function?
A. By collecting wasted food around. B. By buying food directly from local suppliers.
C. By selling leftovers cheaply to buyers in need. D. By matching factories with the remaining food.
9. What will the app record after a “surprise bag” is sold?
A. The updated information of “surprise bags”. B. The buyer’s effort to reduce climate impacts.
C. The carbon emissions caused by this purchase. D. The amount of electricity used in this purchase.
10. What does the author mainly intend to show in paragraph 4?
A. The wide use of the app. B. The effect brought by the app.
C. The harm caused by food waste. D. The impact of cars on the climate.
11. What might the app focus on for its future development according to Coari?
A. Cooperation with more bakeries. B. Setting up a food waste nonprofit.
C. Expanding business to other areas. D. Giving out more “surprise bags”.
D
Human beings have a conflicting relationship with the sun. People love sunshine; however, if you stay out too long or haven’t taken enough prevention, your skin will let you know the angry sunburn. First the heat, then the pain, then the regret. Were people always crazy about sunscreens? The answer is “no”.
With only their feet to carry them, our distant ancestors didn’t move around much during their lives. Their skin adapted to subtle, seasonal changes in sunlight and UV conditions by producing more eumelanin (真黑素) and becoming darker in the summer and then losing some pigment (色素) in the fall and winter when the sun wasn’t so strong. This is not to say that the skin would have been undamaged by today’s standards. We can infer from the effects of sun exposure (暴露) on modern people that the damage was similar.
As time goes by, people’s way of living changes as well. About 10,000 years ago, human beings made their living by gathering foods, hunting and fishing. By around 6,000 BC, many people were spending more time in walled settlements, and more time indoors. By at least 3,000 BC, a whole industry of sun protection grew up to create equipment of all sorts — hats, tents and clothing — that would protect people from the discomfort and unavoidable darkening of the skin related to lengthy sun exposure. In some places, people even developed protective pastes — early versions of modern sunscreens — to protect their exposed skin.
As people have moved around more and faster over longer distances in recent centuries and spend more time indoors, their skin hasn’t caught up with their locations and lifestyle. Your levels of eumelanin probably aren’t perfectly adapted to the sun conditions where you live, so they aren’t able to protect you the same way they might have protected your ancient ancestors.
People may love the sun, but we’re not our ancestors. Humanity’s relationship with the sun has changed, and this means changing your behavior to save your skin.
12. What can be inferred from the text?
A. Ancestors’ skin suffered more sunburn.
B. Moving around helps increase eumelanin.
C. Eumelanin can help protect against sunburn.
D. The loss of pigment means no skin damage.
13. How is paragraph 3 mainly developed?
A. In spatial order. B. In time order.
C. By listing figures. D. By giving examples.
14. What factors contribute to the decline of people’s adaptability to the sun?
A. Changes of their lifestyle and locations.
B. The level of eumelanin and temperature.
C. UV conditions and the amount of sunlight.
D. Protection equipment and longer sun exposure.
15. What will most probably be talked about next?
A. Some tips for protecting the skin.
B. Risks of lasting exposure to the sun.
C. Benefits of adapting to the environment.
D. Examples of how sunlight affects the skin.

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。
My wife called, “Will you come here and make your darling daughter eat her food?”
I threw the newspaper away and rushed to the scene. My only daughter looked frightened. Tears were welling up in her eyes. In front of her was a bowl filled with curd rice which she particularly hated. But my mother and my wife believed firmly that curd rice is beneficial to health. I cleared my throat, and picked up the bowl. “Dina, why don’t you take a few mouthfuls? Just for Dad’s sake, dear.” Dina softened a bit, and wiped her tears with the back of her hands. “OK, Dad. I will eat not just a few mouthfuls, but the whole lot. But, you should. She hesitated. “Dad, if I eat this entire curd rice, will you give me whatever I ask for?” “Oh sure, darling,” I replied. “Promise.”
My girl stared at her mom and continued, “Ask Mom also to give a promise.” My wife put her hand on Dina’s and said, “Promise.”
“Dear, you still want a new computer? Dad doesn’t have that kind of money right now. OK?”I became a bit anxious.
“No, Dad. I don’t want anything expensive,” Slowly and painfully, she finished eating the rice. Dina came to me with her eyes wide with expectation. All our attention was on her. She demanded, “Dad, I want to have my head shaved off this Sunday!” My wife shouted, “A girl having her head shaved off? Impossible!”
“Dina, can you ask for something else? Seeing you with a clean-shaven head, we’ll be sad,” I said. But Dina said, “No, Dad. I don’t want anything else. You promised to reward me with whatever I ask for. Now, you are going back on your words. Was it not you who told me the story of King Harishchandra, and its moral that we should honor our promises no matter what?” Dina was in tears.
It was time for me to call the shots for our promise must be kept.
注意:
1.续写词数应为150左右;
2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
I insisted that we must keep our words.
