As a great actress, she once won ________Oscar for Best Actress. A. What an；a B. What a; the C. How /; a D. How a; an 【答案】B 【解析】 【详解】句意：——对我们来说失去奥黛丽·赫本是多么大的损失啊！——是的。作为一名伟大的女演员，她曾经赢得奥斯卡最佳女演员奖。 考查感叹句结构和冠词用法。句子为感叹句，中心词为可数单数名词loss，其前有形容词great修饰，应使用“What a”引导感叹句，结构为What a + adj. + 可数单数名词。在第二空中，“Oscar”指奥斯卡奖项，为可数名词单数，此处特指“最佳女演员奖”，故用定冠词the表示特指“win the Oscar for Best Actress”。故选B。 2. —The sick man ________in bed ________to the doctor again. —Yes, he said he had already taken the pill ________on the table by the nurse a moment ago. A. lying; lied; laid B. laying; lay; lain C. lying; laid; lay D. laying; lied; lain 【答案】A 【解析】 【详解】句意：——那个躺在床上的病人又对医生撒谎了。——是的，他说他刚才已经吃了护士放在桌子上的药丸。 考查动词辨析。lying躺，现在分词；lied说谎，过去式；laid放置，过去分词；laying放置，现在分词；lay躺，过去式/放置，原形；lain躺，过去分词。根据句意，第一空描述病人“躺在”床上，需用lie（躺）的现在分词lying；第二空表示“对医生撒谎”，需用lie（说谎）的过去式lied；第三空表示药丸“被放置”在桌上，需用lay（放置）的过去分词laid。故选A。 3. Ants are ________ little insects, but they have ________ much power if they work in groups. A. so; so B. so; such C. such; such D. such; so 【答案】D 【解析】 【详解】句意：蚂蚁是一种很小的昆虫，但如果它们成群工作的话，它们会有很大的力量。 考查so与such辨析。so后接形容词或副词；such后接名词。so与many/much/little（少）/few连用。第一空修饰insects应用such；第二空含有much用so。故选D。 4. Look, after the terrible typhoon, those houses ________ at once. A. require to repair B. are required to repair C. require repairing D. are required repairing 【答案】C 【解析】 【详解】句意：看，可怕的台风过后，那些房子需要马上修理。 考查语态与非谓语动词。根据“after the terrible typhoon”可知房子需要修理，主语“those houses”与require之间是主动关系，用主动语态，排除BD；require doing sth.“需要……”，相当于require to be done，排除A。故选C。 5. The ________ documentary describes ________ in the future. A. two hours’; how will Shanghai be like B. two-hours; how Shanghai will be like C. two-hour; what Shanghai will be like D. two hour’s; what Shanghai will be like 【答案】C 【解析】 【详解】句意：这部两小时的纪录片描述了上海未来会是什么样子。 考查复合形容词和宾语从句的用法。对于第一个空，表示时间长度修饰名词时，应使用带连字符的复合形容词（如two-hour），单位用单数形式；第二个空描述“会是什么样子”时，固定搭配为what+主语+will be like，宾语从句需用陈述语序，且be like需搭配what表示“像什么”。故选C。 6. —I have never watched such an exciting match before. What about you? —__________. A. Neither do I B. So do I C. Neither I have D. Me neither 【答案】D 【解析】 【分析】 【详解】句意：——我以前从来没有看过这么精彩的比赛。你呢？——我也没。 考查部分倒装。前句“I have never watched such an exciting match before.”表示否定，此处用neither，排除B，助动词是have，所以用“neither+have+主语”或“人/物+neither”表示上文所描述的情况也同样适用于下文的人或物。故选D。 7. The experiment the scientist devoted himself ________ a perfect success. A. to turning out B. to turned out C. to being turned out D. to was turned out 【答案】B 【解析】 【详解】句意：这位科学家全身心投入的实验最终取得了圆满成功。 考查动词短语的过去式。根据“The experiment the scientist devoted himself ... a perfect success.”和选项可知，“the scientist devoted himself to”是定语从句修饰前面的名词The experiment；空格处缺少主句的谓语动词，结合devoted可知，主从句都是一般过去时，turn out“证明是，结果是”，此处应用过去式。故选B。 8. —Your spoken English is all very good. How do you improve it? —Thanks. Mrs. Wang always asks us to _______ conversations in our English classes. A. turn up B. make up C. take up D. end up 【答案】B 【解析】 【详解】句意：——你的英语口语非常好。你是怎么提高的？——谢谢。王老师总是让我们在英语课上编会话。 考查动词短语。turn up 出现，把音量调高；make up编造；take up占用，开始做；end up最终成为。根据前文问如何提高英语，结合空后的“conversations”可知，此处是编对话make up conversations。故选B。 9. “As he likes the sounds of nature, Tan uses them a lot in his music.” Which “as” below has the same meaning as the “as” above? A. As you weren’t at home, I left a message. B. As time goes by, the situation will get better. C. Jackie Chan is considered by many people as a superstar. D. The rules of footvolley are almost the same as beach volleyball. 【答案】A 【解析】 【详解】句意：“因为他喜欢大自然的声音，所以谭在他的音乐中经常使用它们。”下面哪个“as”与上面的“as”含义相同？ 考查介词的用法。根据“As he likes the sounds of nature, Tan uses them a lot in his music.”可知，例句中的as表示原因，意为“因为”；选项A中的as也表示原因，意为“因为”，与例句中的as同义；而选项B意为“随着”，选项C意为“作为”，选项D意为“如同”。故选A。 10. —It’s said that the third aircraft carrier of China will be in service on the sea soon. —________. That will make the Chinese Navy stronger and stronger. A. That’s not the case B. I’m afraid not C. I can’t agree more D. I can’t wait to see it 【答案】D 【解析】 【详解】句意：——据说，中国第三艘航母即将出海服役。——我迫不及待地想看到它。这将使中国海军越来越强大。 考查情景交际。That’s not the case事实并非如此；I’m afraid not恐怕不是；I can’t agree more我非常同意；I can’t wait to see it我迫不及待地想看到它。根据“the third aircraft carrier of China will be in service on the sea soon”可知此处要对这个好消息表示激动的心情，选项D符合语境。故选D。 Ⅲ.完形填空(共15小题;每题1分，满分15分) I have ten close friends who I have grown up and played with.

More than 8, 600 people aged 18 to 60 were asked to play online brain games designed by the researchers to improve their memory, reasoning and other skills, for at least 10 minutes a day, three times a week. They were compared to more than 2,700 people who didn’t play any brain games, but spent a similar amount of time surfing the Internet. All participants were given an ‘IQ test’ before and after the experiment. Researchers found the people who did the brain training didn’t do any better on the test after six weeks than people who had simply been on the Internet. “If you’re playing these games like SNAKE (贪吃蛇) because they’re fun, that’s absolutely fine,” said Adrian Owen, the study’s lead author. “But if you’re expecting these games to improve your IQ, our studies suggest they don’t work.” It’s also found that brain games which are supposed to improve memory, reasoning and other cognitive (认知的) skills are played by millions of people worldwide, though few studies have examined if the games work. Not many studies suggest the skills used in these brain games transfer (迁移) to the real world. Instead of playing brain games, people would be better off getting some exercise, said Professor Kramer. He said physical activity can help produce new brain cells. Other experts said brain games might be useful, but only if they weren’t fun. “If you set the level for these games to a very high level where you don’t get the answers very often and it really makes you annoyed, then it may be useful,” said Philip. If people are enjoying the brain games, they probably aren’t being challenged and might as well be playing a regular video game. Philip said people should consider learning a new language or sport if they really want to improve their brain power. “Computer games were not an easy shortcut. Getting smart is hard work.” he added. 26. What is NOT useful in developing brain power according to the passage? A. Playing fun games. B. Learning a language. C. Playing challenging games. D. Getting some physical exercise. 27. What can we infer (推断) from the studies in the passage? A. Many studies show that brain games are a useful way of improving IQ. B. Few studies suggest the skills used in these brain games transfer to the real world. C. People may get smarter if they do more physical activities such as running and swimming. D. Surfing the Internet may be more useful in improving cognitive skills than video games. 28. Which would be the best title for the passage? A. How Can We Get Smarter? B. Does SNAKE Make You Smarter? C. How Can We Play Brain Games Well? D. Is Getting Smarter as Easy as Playing Games? 【答案】26. A 27. C 28. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要探讨了在线“益智游戏”是否能真正提高人的智商，并引用多项研究和专家观点，指出这类游戏的局限性，同时提出了其他更有效的健脑方式。 【26题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第2段Adrian Owen的观点“But if you’re expecting these games to improve your IQ, our studies suggest they don’t work.”以及文章多处 (如最后两段Philip的观点) 强调，单纯为了娱乐、不够有挑战性的游戏对提高智商没用。相反，学习语言和进行体育锻炼被专家认为是有益的。因此，无用的方式是“玩娱乐性的游戏”。故选A。 【27题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第4段“He said physical activity can help produce new brain cells.”可知运动能生成新脑细胞。可推断“运动可能让人变聪明”，故选C。 【28题详解】 最佳标题题。根据“ecently, researchers have done an experiment on whether online brain games can improve people’s IQ.”及全文可知，本文主要讲述了研究表明玩游戏对提高智商没有用，如果人们真想提高智商，应该考虑学习一门新语言或运动，所以最好的标题是Does SNAKE Make You Smarter? (“贪吃蛇”能让你变聪明吗？)，故选B。 B I was pleased at running away from Long John Silver though I knew he was still somewhere nearby on the island. As I was trying to find a safer place to hide myself, I heard some men talking close by. It was Silver and Tom. “I want you with me” Silver shouted, “when we have the treasure, there’s gold for you too.” “No,” cried Tom, “I told you. I’m not a murderer. You’re guilty, all of you” Sadly, these were the last words of Tom. It was a gunshot, Silver’s gun. I moved away quickly and quietly. I ran fast, not thinking about the direction I was taking. Suddenly, I saw a figure move quickly from tree to tree. What it was, whether a bear or a man or a monkey? Silver himself appeared less terrible to me now. As it was getting closer to me. It was a man. “Who are you?” I asked. “Ben Gunn,” he answered. “I’m poor Ben Gunn, and I haven’t spoken with a man these three years. Who are you, mate?” “Jim,” I told him. “Now, Jim, tell me, is that Flint’s ship?” he asked in fear, pointing to the ship which I ran away from. “No, and Flint is dead. But there are some of Flint’s hands aboard.” “Not a man... with one... leg?” Ben asked in a tremulous voice, with his pale face and scared eyes. “You mean Silver? He once worked as a cook on the ship.” I added. “Now, he is also on the island to find Flint’s treasure. He wants to kill us and take over the ship”. “Aye, that was his name, Long John Silver. The devil (魔鬼) couldn’t hold a lit candle to him,” he said, “I was on Flint’s ship when he buried (埋) the treasure, he and six strong seamen. But, when he returned, he himself alone, and the six all died. How he made it, not a man except him could make out. It was a battle, a murder, and a sudden death— him against six.” For just then, although the sun had still an hour or two to run, the whole island awoke to the thunder of a cannon (大炮). “They have begun to fight” I cried. “Follow me.” 29. Which of the following is the correct order of the plot according to the passage? a. Ben Gunn was once on the Flint’s ship. b. Ben Gunn mistook the ship for Flint’s. c Ben Gunn lived on the island alone. d. Flint killed six seamen who helped bury the treasure. e. Jim met Ben Gunn while running away from Silver. A. a—d—c—b—e B. c—a—b—d—e C. c—e—a—b—d D. a—c—b—d—e 30. What may Silver be like according to the dialogues in the passage? A. Honest. B. Kind. C. Cruel. D. Scared. 31. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage? A. Ben Gunn didn’t know Silver before. B. I managed to hide myself from Silver. C. Flint was a man with only one leg left. D. Jim was left on the island for three years. 【答案】29. A 30. C 31. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文，讲述了Jim在逃离Long John Silver的过程中遇到了Ben Gunn，两人交谈中透露了Silver的残忍以及Flint埋藏宝藏时发生的可怕事件，最后他们听到了大炮声，意识到战斗已经开始的冒险故事。 【29题详解】 细节理解题。根据“I was on Flint’s ship when he buried the treasure, he and six strong seamen. But, when he returned, he himself alone, and the six all died. How he made it, not a man except him could make out. It was a battle, a murder, and a sudden death—him against six.”可知，a“本·冈恩曾经在弗林特号的船上。”排第一；d“弗林特杀死了六名帮助埋藏宝藏的水手。”排第二；根据“I’m poor Ben Gunn, and I haven’t spoken with a man these three years. Who are you, mate?”可知，c“本·冈恩一个人住在岛上。”排第三；根据“‘Now, Jim, tell me is that Flint’s ship?’ he asked in fear, pointing to the ship which I ran away from. 可知，b“本·冈恩把那艘船误认为是弗林特的。”排第四；根据“As it was getting closer to me. It was a man. ‘Who are you?’ I asked. “Ben Gunn,” he answered.可知，e“吉姆在逃离西尔弗的时候遇到了本·冈恩。”排第五。故选A。 【30题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第三段“It was a gunshot, Silver’s gun.”以及Jim对Silver的描述“He wants to kill us and take over the ship”可知，Silver开枪杀了Tom，还想杀他们并夺取船只，所以Silver是残忍的。故选C。 【31题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第一段“I was pleased at running away from Long John Silver though I knew he was still somewhere nearby on the island.”可知，Jim成功地从Silver那里逃开了，即“I managed to hide myself from Silver.”，B选项正确。故选B。 C Artwork is lovely to look at, and it has the power to make people feel and think differently. But do you know that when people see a real work of art, rather than just looking at a photo of it, they are likely to experience stronger emotions (情绪)? Scientists recently carried out a study at the Mauritshuis museum in The Hague, a city in the Netherlands. The museum is home to Girl with a Pearl Earring, a very famous painting by Dutch artist Johannes Vermeer. It was painted in 1665. ① The researchers used eye-tracking equipment and a brain scanner to watch how people reacted to several paintings. First, the volunteers were asked to look at the real paintings on display, and then at photos of the artworks in the museum shop. ② It was shown that their emotional reactions (反应) were 10 times stronger when they looked at the real paintings. The most active part of the brain while looking at the artworks was the area that controls people’s personal identity (身份) and consciousness (意识). ③ How did that happen? According to the study, people may experience something called a “sustained attentional loop” when they watch a certain painting. The volunteers’ attention was first drawn to the girl’s left eye, then her mouth, then to her pearl earring. This certain order of eye movements repeated in a continuous loop. Each time they completed the cycle, their focus became stronger and their connection with Girl with a Pearl Earring was deeper, which meant that people stared at the painting for longer. Martin de Munnik, one of the researchers in this study, said, “That means you have to pay attention whether you want to or not.” It was as if the painting itself had a power to hold the viewers’ attention and guide their eye movement in a very involuntary (无意识的) way. ④ The director of the Mauritshuis, Martine Gosselink, said that the study shows how important it is to go and see art in real life, whether it’s paintings, photography or dancing. She added, “it really helps develop your brain.” The researchers are now eager to broaden their study, planning to visit other museums and do similar experiments on works like the Mona Lisa by Leonardo da Vinci. 32. What is the purpose of the study? A. To explain different ways to study a painting. B. To check people’s interest in museum paintings. C. To find differences between a painting and its photo. D. To watch people’s reactions to real art and its photos. 33. We can put the following sentence “The team also found that the group reacted even more strongly to Girl with a Pearl Earring.” in ________. A. ① B. ② C. ③ D. ④ 34. How does the writer introduce the “sustained attentional loop”? A. By giving an example. B. By telling a story. C. By listing numbers. D. By offering advice. 35. What is the best title of the passage? A. The Power of Real Works of Art B. Lessons from Real Works of Art C. The Way to Enjoy Real Works of Art D. A Visit to Real Works of Art 【答案】32. D 33. B 34. A 35. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要讲述了科学家在荷兰海牙的莫里茨皇家美术馆进行的一项研究，该研究发现人们看到真实的艺术作品时比看其照片时的情绪反应更强烈，并解释了原因，强调了欣赏真实艺术作品的重要性。 【32题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“The researchers used eye-tracking equipment and a brain scanner to watch how people reacted to several paintings. First, the volunteers were asked to look at the real paintings on display, and then at photos of the artworks in the museum shop.”可知，研究人员使用眼动追踪设备和大脑扫描仪来观察人们对几幅画的反应，先让志愿者看展出的真画，再看博物馆商店里艺术作品的照片，所以研究的目的是观察人们对真实艺术作品及其照片的反应。故选D。 【33题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段“The museum is home to Girl with a Pearl Earring, a very famous painting by Dutch artist Johannes Vermeer.”可知，莫里茨皇家美术馆有《戴珍珠耳环的少女》这幅画，再结合第四段“It was shown that their emotional reactions (反应) were 10 times stronger when they looked at the real paintings.”可知，人们看真画时的情绪反应比看照片时强烈10倍，所以“The team also found that the group reacted even more strongly to Girl with a Pearl Earring.”这句话放在②处，即指出人们对《戴珍珠耳环的少女》这幅真画的反应更强烈，符合语境。故选B。 【34题详解】 推理判断题。根据第五段“How did that happen? According to the study, people may experience something called a ‘sustained attentional loop’ when they watch a certain painting. The volunteers’ attention was first drawn to the girl’s left eye, then her mouth, then to her pearl earring.”可知，作者通过举例志愿者看《戴珍珠耳环的少女》这幅画时，注意力先被女孩的左眼吸引，然后是她的嘴，最后是她的珍珠耳环，来介绍“持续注意力循环”这一概念。故选A。 【35题详解】 最佳标题题。根据第一段“But do you know that when people see a real work of art, rather than just looking at a photo of it, they are likely to experience stronger emotions (情绪)?”以及全文内容可知，文章主要讲述了人们看到真实的艺术作品时比看其照片时的情绪反应更强烈，强调了真实艺术作品的力量，所以A选项“真实艺术作品的力量”最适合作为本文标题。故选A。 Ⅴ.七选五(共5小题;每小题2分，满分10分) 阅读短文，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。 Trust has been considered to be the basis of any relationship, including friendship.

The survey found children as young as eight were interested in news. However, the spread of wrong information makes it difficult for children to understand events. The survey also found only one-third of young people felt they could tell whether news they read was real or not. Here are what adults can do to help children critically (批判地) think about the news. To help decide if a source can be trusted, they can ask the following questions. Is it clear who created this news? Viewers need to be able to ask the person or organization why and how they created the story. Does it present facts straight or does it include opinions? If opinions are presented as facts, this may lead to wrong ideas. Does it include all the important people? If a story speaks up for organizations or groups of people, all these important people should have the chance to reply to these opinions. Some media may make use of people’s feelings. Discussing how children feel about news helps them decide which news programs to watch. Research shows sensationalist (耸人听闻的) news titles can receive more clicks online. Adults can also talk to children why people spread wrong information, such as changing people’s mind on who to vote for or attracting more clicks. News media talk about events in different ways. Parents and teachers can help children be careful while reading stories. In some stories people can’t present their ideas honestly. In these cases, it’s best to find other news sources to consider how they are reporting the story. Discussing what children think of the news can help them build their critical thinking skills. News that can be trusted is important to society. People depend on it to help make decisions in their lives. Seeing how wrong information is different from real news is challenging for everyone at present. Listening to children’s experiences is a valuable starting point for improving their critical thinking abilities.

More than 8, 600 people aged 18 to 60 were asked to play online brain games designed by the researchers to improve their memory, reasoning and other skills, for at least 10 minutes a day, three times a week. They were compared to more than 2,700 people who didn’t play any brain games, but spent a similar amount of time surfing the Internet. All participants were given an ‘IQ test’ before and after the experiment. Researchers found the people who did the brain training didn’t do any better on the test after six weeks than people who had simply been on the Internet. “If you’re playing these games like SNAKE (贪吃蛇) because they’re fun, that’s absolutely fine,” said Adrian Owen, the study’s lead author. “But if you’re expecting these games to improve your IQ, our studies suggest they don’t work.” It’s also found that brain games which are supposed to improve memory, reasoning and other cognitive (认知的) skills are played by millions of people worldwide, though few studies have examined if the games work. Not many studies suggest the skills used in these brain games transfer (迁移) to the real world. Instead of playing brain games, people would be better off getting some exercise, said Professor Kramer. He said physical activity can help produce new brain cells. Other experts said brain games might be useful, but only if they weren’t fun. “If you set the level for these games to a very high level where you don’t get the answers very often and it really makes you annoyed, then it may be useful,” said Philip. If people are enjoying the brain games, they probably aren’t being challenged and might as well be playing a regular video game. Philip said people should consider learning a new language or sport if they really want to improve their brain power. “Computer games were not an easy shortcut. Getting smart is hard work.” he added. 26. What is NOT useful in developing brain power according to the passage? A. Playing fun games. B. Learning a language. C. Playing challenging games. D. Getting some physical exercise. 27. What can we infer (推断) from the studies in the passage? A. Many studies show that brain games are a useful way of improving IQ. B. Few studies suggest the skills used in these brain games transfer to the real world. C. People may get smarter if they do more physical activities such as running and swimming. D. Surfing the Internet may be more useful in improving cognitive skills than video games. 28. Which would be the best title for the passage? A. How Can We Get Smarter? B. Does SNAKE Make You Smarter? C. How Can We Play Brain Games Well? D. Is Getting Smarter as Easy as Playing Games? B I was pleased at running away from Long John Silver though I knew he was still somewhere nearby on the island. As I was trying to find a safer place to hide myself, I heard some men talking close by. It was Silver and Tom. “I want you with me” Silver shouted, “when we have the treasure, there’s gold for you too.” “No,” cried Tom, “I told you. I’m not a murderer. You’re guilty, all of you” Sadly, these were the last words of Tom. It was a gunshot, Silver’s gun. I moved away quickly and quietly. I ran fast, not thinking about the direction I was taking. Suddenly, I saw a figure move quickly from tree to tree. What it was, whether a bear or a man or a monkey? Silver himself appeared less terrible to me now. As it was getting closer to me. It was a man. “Who are you?” I asked. “Ben Gunn,” he answered. “I’m poor Ben Gunn, and I haven’t spoken with a man these three years. Who are you, mate?” “Jim,” I told him. “Now, Jim, tell me, is that Flint’s ship?” he asked in fear, pointing to the ship which I ran away from. “No, and Flint is dead. But there are some of Flint’s hands aboard.” “Not a man... with one... leg?” Ben asked in a tremulous voice, with his pale face and scared eyes. “You mean Silver? He once worked as a cook on the ship.” I added. “Now, he is also on the island to find Flint’s treasure. He wants to kill us and take over the ship”. “Aye, that was his name, Long John Silver. The devil (魔鬼) couldn’t hold a lit candle to him,” he said, “I was on Flint’s ship when he buried (埋) the treasure, he and six strong seamen. But, when he returned, he himself alone, and the six all died. How he made it, not a man except him could make out. It was a battle, a murder, and a sudden death— him against six.” For just then, although the sun had still an hour or two to run, the whole island awoke to the thunder of a cannon (大炮). “They have begun to fight” I cried. “Follow me.” 29. Which of the following is the correct order of the plot according to the passage? a. Ben Gunn was once on the Flint’s ship. b. Ben Gunn mistook the ship for Flint’s. c.

A. a—d—c—b—e B. c—a—b—d—e C. c—e—a—b—d D. a—c—b—d—e 30. What may Silver be like according to the dialogues in the passage? A. Honest. B. Kind. C. Cruel. D. Scared. 31.

Jim was left on the island for three years. C Artwork is lovely to look at, and it has the power to make people feel and think differently. But do you know that when people see a real work of art, rather than just looking at a photo of it, they are likely to experience stronger emotions (情绪)? Scientists recently carried out a study at the Mauritshuis museum in The Hague, a city in the Netherlands. The museum is home to Girl with a Pearl Earring, a very famous painting by Dutch artist Johannes Vermeer. It was painted in 1665. ① The researchers used eye-tracking equipment and a brain scanner to watch how people reacted to several paintings. First, the volunteers were asked to look at the real paintings on display, and then at photos of the artworks in the museum shop. ② It was shown that their emotional reactions (反应) were 10 times stronger when they looked at the real paintings. The most active part of the brain while looking at the artworks was the area that controls people’s personal identity (身份) and consciousness (意识). ③ How did that happen? According to the study, people may experience something called a “sustained attentional loop” when they watch a certain painting. The volunteers’ attention was first drawn to the girl’s left eye, then her mouth, then to her pearl earring. This certain order of eye movements repeated in a continuous loop. Each time they completed the cycle, their focus became stronger and their connection with Girl with a Pearl Earring was deeper, which meant that people stared at the painting for longer. Martin de Munnik, one of the researchers in this study, said, “That means you have to pay attention whether you want to or not.” It was as if the painting itself had a power to hold the viewers’ attention and guide their eye movement in a very involuntary (无意识的) way. ④ The director of the Mauritshuis, Martine Gosselink, said that the study shows how important it is to go and see art in real life, whether it’s paintings, photography or dancing. She added, “it really helps develop your brain.” The researchers are now eager to broaden their study, planning to visit other museums and do similar experiments on works like the Mona Lisa by Leonardo da Vinci. 32. What is the purpose of the study? A. To explain different ways to study a painting. B. To check people’s interest in museum paintings. C. To find differences between a painting and its photo. D. To watch people’s reactions to real art and its photos. 33. We can put the following sentence “The team also found that the group reacted even more strongly to Girl with a Pearl Earring.” in ________. A. ① B. ② C. ③ D. ④ 34. How does the writer introduce the “sustained attentional loop”? A. By giving an example. B. By telling a story. C. By listing numbers. D. By offering advice. 35. What is the best title of the passage? A. The Power of Real Works of Art B. Lessons from Real Works of Art C. The Way to Enjoy Real Works of Art D. A Visit to Real Works of Art Ⅴ.七选五(共5小题;每小题2分，满分10分) 阅读短文，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。 Trust has been considered to be the basis of any relationship, including friendship.

Ⅵ.阅读填空(每小题1分，满分10分) 请认真阅读下面短文，并根据所读内容在文章后表格中小题的空格里填入一个最恰当的单词。 A national survey was carried out in Australia on how children aged eight to sixteen read news. The survey found children as young as eight were interested in news. However, the spread of wrong information makes it difficult for children to understand events. The survey also found only one-third of young people felt they could tell whether news they read was real or not. Here are what adults can do to help children critically (批判地) think about the news. To help decide if a source can be trusted, they can ask the following questions. Is it clear who created this news? Viewers need to be able to ask the person or organization why and how they created the story. Does it present facts straight or does it include opinions? If opinions are presented as facts, this may lead to wrong ideas. Does it include all the important people? If a story speaks up for organizations or groups of people, all these important people should have the chance to reply to these opinions. Some media may make use of people’s feelings. Discussing how children feel about news helps them decide which news programs to watch. Research shows sensationalist (耸人听闻的) news titles can receive more clicks online. Adults can also talk to children why people spread wrong information, such as changing people’s mind on who to vote for or attracting more clicks. News media talk about events in different ways. Parents and teachers can help children be careful while reading stories. In some stories people can’t present their ideas honestly. In these cases, it’s best to find other news sources to consider how they are reporting the story. Discussing what children think of the news can help them build their critical thinking skills. News that can be trusted is important to society. People depend on it to help make decisions in their lives. Seeing how wrong information is different from real news is challenging for everyone at present.
