It is one of the most famous paintings in the world. Painted by Leonardo da Vinci, a great artist in the Italian Renaissance (文艺复兴) period, the “Mona Lisa” has attracted millions of visitors to the Louvre Museum in Paris, France. The painting shows a woman sitting upright in a chair with her hands folded. Her face shows a mysterious (神秘的) smile that has puzzled people for centuries. Some people say the smile changes depending on how you look at it. When you look at the eyes, the smile seems more noticeable, but when you look at the mouth, it seems to disappear. Scientists have studied the “Mona Lisa” using modern technology. They found that Leonardo da Vinci used a technique called “sfumato” (晕涂法), which means “smoky” in Italian. This technique makes the edges of the figure and the background blend (融合) together softly, creating a sense of depth and mystery. The use of colors is also very subtle (微妙的). The background has a cool, blue - green tone, while the woman's skin has a warm, yellow - brown tone, which makes her stand out. Another interesting thing about the “Mona Lisa” is its history. It was painted around 1503-1506. Leonardo da Vinci may have worked on it for several years. After his death, the painting passed through many hands. It was even stolen in 1911! The thief, Vincenzo Peruggia, was an Italian who believed the painting should be returned to Italy. He kept the painting in his apartment for two years before he was caught. The “Mona Lisa” was finally returned to the Louvre Museum, where it remains today. 1．Where is the “Mona Lisa” now? A．In Italy. B．In the United States. C．In France. D．In England. 2．What makes the smile of the “Mona Lisa” so mysterious? A．The use of bright colors. B．The technique of “sfumato”. C．The shape of the mouth. D．The background of the painting. 3．What happened to the “Mona Lisa” in 1911? A．It was bought by a rich man. B．It was damaged by a visitor. C．It was stolen by an Italian. D．It was moved to another museum. 4．What does the underlined word “technique” in Paragraph 3 mean? A．Skill. B．Tool. C．Style. D．Material. 5．What is the main idea of the passage? A．The life of Leonardo da Vinci. B．The history of the Louvre Museum. C．The mystery of the “Mona Lisa”. D．The use of modern technology in art. 【答案】1．C 2．B 3．C 4．A 5．C 【分析】本文主要介绍了世界著名画作《蒙娜丽莎》。 1．细节理解题。根据原文“the ‘Mona Lisa’ has attracted millions of visitors to the Louvre Museum in Paris, France.”可知，《蒙娜丽莎》现在在法国。故选C。 2．细节理解题。根据原文“Scientists have studied the ‘Mona Lisa’ using modern technology. They found that Leonardo da Vinci used a technique called ‘sfumato’...This technique makes the edges of the figure and the background blend together softly, creating a sense of depth and mystery.”可知，晕涂法使《蒙娜丽莎》的微笑神秘。故选B。 3．细节理解题。根据原文“It was even stolen in 1911! The thief, Vincenzo Peruggia, was an Italian who believed the painting should be returned to Italy.”可知，1911年《蒙娜丽莎》被一个意大利人偷走了。故选C。 4．词句猜测题。根据“They found that Leonardo da Vinci used a technique called “sfumato” (晕涂法), which means “smoky” in Italian.”可推测technique意思是“技巧，技能”。故选A。 5．主旨大意题。通读原文可知，文章主要围绕《蒙娜丽莎》的神秘微笑、绘画技巧、历史等方面展开，介绍了它的神秘之处。故选C。 Drones (无人机) are a kind of machine that can fly. They’re becoming more and more common and are used in many areas. People use a computer to control this flying machine. Drones can do many things for us, like carrying things, taking pictures, and following animals that are in danger. Some people say this special machine will change our life as much as the computer does. In Brazil, farmers use drones to watch their crops (庄稼). Brazil has quite a few large farms. On these farms, people find it difficult to look after all the crops. Drones can help farmers discover if the crops are ill. They also help farmers use fewer farm chemicals (化学药品). This can help the environment and save much money. Drones can also help to find lost people. If people who are far from home get lost, the police can use drones to find them. A 92-year-old man in Virginia was lost and had to spend a night in the woods. Luckily, the drone found him in 20 minutes. He was finally saved by the police. Drones can even serve people coffee. US company IBM has made this kind of drone. It can carry coffee to those in need. The drone can know when to bring a cup of coffee by studying a person’s habits. Then, the drone will fly to the person. There is a special device under the drone. It helps the drone to give people the coffee. The drone can also predict when someone needs their next cup of coffee. 1．How does the writer introduce the wide use of drones in Paragraph 1? A．By telling a story. B．By comparing two things. C．By answering questions. D．By giving examples. 2．Which of the following things can drones do? ①Help farmers watch crops.              ②Find lost people in the woods. ③Carry coffee to people in need.             ④Make computers for people. A．①②④ B．②③④ C．①③④ D．①②③ 3．What does the underlined word “device” mean in the last paragraph? A．A kind of crop. B．A new habit. C．A useful machine. D．A cheap pen. 4．What is the right structure of the passage? (①=Paragraph 1  ②=Paragraph 2,...) A． B． C． D． 5．What does the passage mainly want to tell us? A．Drones are only used by farmers in Brazil. B．Drones can do many useful things in different parts of life. C．An old man was saved by a drone. D．Drones can help build tall buildings. 【答案】1．D 2．D 3．C 4．A 5．B 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要介绍了无人机在生活中的广泛应用。 1．第一段指出：“Drones can do many things for us, like carrying things, taking pictures, and following animals that are in danger.”，因此作者通过举例子告诉我们无人机的广泛应用。 2．第二段指出：“In Brazil, farmers use drones to watch their crops (庄稼).”，因此无人机可以帮助农民照看庄稼，①正确；第三段指出：“A 92-year-old man in Virginia was lost and had to spend a night in the woods. Luckily, the drone found him in 20 minutes.”，这说明无人机可以在树林中寻找迷路的人，②正确；第四段指出：“It can carry coffee to those in need.”，因此无人机可以给有需要的人送咖啡，③正确；文中未提及无人机可以为人们制造电脑，④错误。 3．第四段指出：“There is a special device under the drone. It helps the drone to give people the coffee.”，因此“device”是一种有用的机器或装置，用来辅助完成送咖啡的动作。 4．第一段总起全文，介绍无人机的定义和广泛用途；第二、三、四段分别从农业、搜救、生活服务三个方面具体举例说明无人机的应用。文章属于“总—分”结构。 5．文章开篇介绍无人机，随后分别讲述了无人机在农业、搜救、生活服务等领域的多种实用功能，核心是说明无人机在生活不同方面能做很多有用的事。 It’s a new tool that can help blind students practice braille (盲文) at home.

It connects to the Internet through Wi-Fi. Polly gives audio feedback (音频反馈) to students learning braille.”可知，Polly是一种可以帮助盲人学生练习盲文的新工具，对于失去视力的Tom来说，Polly是学习工具。 2．根据“It’s a new tool that can help blind students practice braille (盲文) at home.”和“It’s a robotic hand that can help people without hands.”可知，Polly可以帮助盲人学生练习盲文，Esper Hand可以帮助没有手的人，所以它们的共同点是都对残疾人有帮助。 3．根据“When it needs electricity, you’ll hear the sound of raindrops.”可知，当Teno需要电时，会听到雨滴声，所以作者可能同意雨滴声表明它需要电。 4．根据“They give kids the feeling of being held in someone’s arms. This can help kids feel peaceful and safe. Hugimals are even used in hospitals and schools to help kids feel good and pay attention.”可知，Hugimals能给孩子一种被人抱在怀里的感觉，这能帮助孩子感到平静和安全，甚至在医院和学校被用来帮助孩子感觉良好和集中注意力，所以它们能让孩子开心。 5．文章主要介绍了四种不同的发明，包括Polly、Esper Hand、Teno和Hugimals，所以最有可能在网站的“发明”部分读到这篇文章。 二、阅读匹配 配对阅读 配对阅读。中国文化受到世界各地人们的喜爱，请先阅读左栏人们的兴趣介绍，然后为他们介绍合适的文化艺术。 1 Sofia is a student from Switzerland.

Among the most famous are the Four Great Inventions, which have played a crucial role in shaping human civilisation. These inventions not only changed the way people live and work but also 1 the development of science and technology globally. The first of these is papermaking. Before paper was invented, people wrote on materials like bamboo slips and silk, which were either heavy or expensive. In the Eastern Han dynasty, Cai Lun improved the papermaking process, making paper lightweight, cheap, and easy to 2 . This invention made it possible for knowledge to be widely spread and preserved, laying a solid foundation for cultural exchange. Shortly after papermaking, woodblock printing was created. Later, Bi Sheng invented movable type printing in the Northern Song dynasty. This technology allowed books to be printed more efficiently, 3 the cost of publishing. As a result, more people had access to books, which 4 education and the spread of ideas. Another great invention is gunpowder.Initially developed for medicinal purposes, gunpowder was later used in warfare and fireworks. It changed the nature of battles and 5 the way armies fought. Additionally, gunpowder also led to the creation of new forms of entertainment, such as fireworks displays that are still popular today.

Every year, people around the world use billions of tons of paper. But do you know how paper is made? Most paper is made from wood. First, workers cut down trees and turn them into wood pulp (纸浆). Then, they make the pulp into paper. It takes about 17 trees to make one ton of paper. That means we cut down millions of trees every year just for paper. Paper is very useful in our daily life. We use it to write, to print books, and to wrap things. But we also waste a lot of paper. Every day, people throw away tons of used paper. If we reuse and recycle paper, we can save many trees. Recycling one ton of paper can save 17 trees and a lot of water. It also helps to reduce pollution. In many countries, schools and companies have started recycling programs. They collect used paper and send it to factories to be made into new paper. We can also do our part at home. Small actions can make a big difference. 1．What is most paper made from? 2．How many trees does it take to make one ton of paper? 3．Why do schools and companies send used paper to factories? 4．What will you do to save paper in your daily life? (Write 30 words or more) 【答案】1．Most paper is made from wood. 2．It takes about 17 trees to make one ton of paper. 3．Because they want to make the used paper into new paper. 4．I will use both sides of every piece of paper when writing or taking notes. Also, I will collect used paper and send it to recycling bins at school or home. 【导语】本文主要介绍了纸的制造过程（以木材为原料）、造纸对环境的影响（每吨纸需砍伐17棵树），以及回收利用纸张的重要性（节约资源、减少污染），并呼吁人们在日常生活和校园中通过小行动参与纸张回收，共同保护环境。 1．第一段明确提到“Most paper is made from wood”，因此得出该答案。 2．第一段明确说明“It takes about 17 trees to make one ton of paper”，直接得出答案。 3．第三段“They collect used paper and send it to factories to be made into new paper.”说明收集废纸送到工厂是为了将其做成新纸。 4．本题为开放题，只要结合日常生活给出合理的节约用纸方法，满足词数要求即可。I will use both sides of every piece of paper when writing or taking notes. Also, I will collect used paper and send it to recycling bins at school or home. When Matty Sallin was studying art and technology at New York University, he got an interesting task for the final exam: Create something for the ordinary family. He decided to create an alarm clock. “To get up in time, many people have to use an alarm clock every morning. But the sound of the clock is extremely noisy and unpleasant,” he says. (So before he started to design the new clock, he asked different people what they’d like to wake them up in the morning.) A lot of them said, “The smell of bacon (培根).” So Sallin and his two classmates invented a new kind of alarm clock: a wooden box with a pig face and a digital clock that uses the smell of cooking bacon to wake people up. He explains, “There’s no danger of burning, because I built it carefully. It uses special light bulbs (灯泡) instead of a fire for cooking and turns off automatically (自动地) after ten minutes.” Just a few easy steps are required to set the “alarm”. “What you need to do is to put a few pieces of bacon inside the box the night before, and set the alarm,” says Sallin. “If you set the alarm for 8:00, it will turn on at 7:50 and slowly cook for ten minutes under the bulbs. Then the bulbs turn off and a fan blows the smell out through the nose of the pig. So the pleasant smell of bacon will wake you up. There will be no more noisy alarms. Then you can open the door on the side and pull the bacon out and eat it.” When Sallin was a kid, he spent a lot of time making drawings of inventions. “I wanted to make a lift in my back yard and a special tree house.” he says. “But I never really thought I’d become an inventor!” Sallin got an A for his alarm clock and went on to invent other things-but people continue to email him every day asking where they can buy his alarm clock. If he decides to produce and sell his special alarm clock, maybe he can build a successful business out of it. 1．How many people worked together on the new alarm clock? 2．How long does it take the alarm clock to cook the bacon? 3．Why are light bulbs used for cooking bacon instead of a fire? 4．What do you think of the new alarm clock? Write 30 words or more. 【答案】1．Three. 2．Ten minutes. 3．Because there is no danger of burning. 4．I like the new alarm clock because I am fond of eating bacon. And there are no more noisy alarms. What’s more, the clock can help me save time in cooking breakfast. (答案合理即可） 【导语】本文讲述了纽约大学学生Matty Sallin为完成期末作业，与同学合作发明了一款用培根香味唤醒用户的创意闹钟。 1．第三段提到Sallin和他的两名同学一起发明了这款闹钟“Sallin and his two classmates invented a new kind of alarm clock”，共三人，因此答案是原文直接信息。 2．第四段说明闹钟会在设定时间前十分钟开始烹饪培根“it will turn on at 7:50 and slowly cook for ten minutes”，这是原文中的具体时间信息，直接提取。 3．第三段解释了使用灯泡而非明火的原因“There’s no danger of burning, because I built it carefully. It uses special light bulbs instead of a fire”，因此答案是原文直接信息。 4．开放题，答案不唯一。需结合文中提到闹钟无噪音、能烹饪培根等特点，表明观点并给出合理理由，字数不少于30词。 阅读下面短文，简略回答问题。 In recent years, Labubu, a special toy from China, has taken the world by storm.

It is one of the most famous paintings in the world. Painted by Leonardo da Vinci, a great artist in the Italian Renaissance (文艺复兴) period, the “Mona Lisa” has attracted millions of visitors to the Louvre Museum in Paris, France. The painting shows a woman sitting upright in a chair with her hands folded. Her face shows a mysterious (神秘的) smile that has puzzled people for centuries. Some people say the smile changes depending on how you look at it. When you look at the eyes, the smile seems more noticeable, but when you look at the mouth, it seems to disappear. Scientists have studied the “Mona Lisa” using modern technology. They found that Leonardo da Vinci used a technique called “sfumato” (晕涂法), which means “smoky” in Italian. This technique makes the edges of the figure and the background blend (融合) together softly, creating a sense of depth and mystery. The use of colors is also very subtle (微妙的). The background has a cool, blue - green tone, while the woman's skin has a warm, yellow - brown tone, which makes her stand out. Another interesting thing about the “Mona Lisa” is its history. It was painted around 1503-1506. Leonardo da Vinci may have worked on it for several years. After his death, the painting passed through many hands. It was even stolen in 1911! The thief, Vincenzo Peruggia, was an Italian who believed the painting should be returned to Italy. He kept the painting in his apartment for two years before he was caught. The “Mona Lisa” was finally returned to the Louvre Museum, where it remains today. 1．Where is the “Mona Lisa” now? A．In Italy. B．In the United States. C．In France. D．In England. 2．What makes the smile of the “Mona Lisa” so mysterious? A．The use of bright colors. B．The technique of “sfumato”. C．The shape of the mouth. D．The background of the painting. 3．What happened to the “Mona Lisa” in 1911? A．It was bought by a rich man. B．It was damaged by a visitor. C．It was stolen by an Italian. D．It was moved to another museum. 4．What does the underlined word “technique” in Paragraph 3 mean? A．Skill. B．Tool. C．Style. D．Material. 5．What is the main idea of the passage? A．The life of Leonardo da Vinci. B．The history of the Louvre Museum. C．The mystery of the “Mona Lisa”. D．The use of modern technology in art. Drones (无人机) are a kind of machine that can fly.

Among the most famous are the Four Great Inventions, which have played a crucial role in shaping human civilisation. These inventions not only changed the way people live and work but also 1 the development of science and technology globally. The first of these is papermaking. Before paper was invented, people wrote on materials like bamboo slips and silk, which were either heavy or expensive. In the Eastern Han dynasty, Cai Lun improved the papermaking process, making paper lightweight, cheap, and easy to 2 . This invention made it possible for knowledge to be widely spread and preserved, laying a solid foundation for cultural exchange. Shortly after papermaking, woodblock printing was created. Later, Bi Sheng invented movable type printing in the Northern Song dynasty. This technology allowed books to be printed more efficiently, 3 the cost of publishing. As a result, more people had access to books, which 4 education and the spread of ideas. Another great invention is gunpowder.Initially developed for medicinal purposes, gunpowder was later used in warfare and fireworks. It changed the nature of battles and 5 the way armies fought. Additionally, gunpowder also led to the creation of new forms of entertainment, such as fireworks displays that are still popular today. The compass, the fourth great invention, was a key 6 to maritime exploration. Before the compass, sailors relied on the sun and stars for navigation, which was unreliable in bad weather. With the compass, Chinese sailors could travel far across the seas, promoting trade and cultural exchange between China and 7 countries.

Ever since she was a young girl, Yang has been making indigo cloth. “This type of handmade cloth is extremely rare. You can 1 buy it at the market,” she said. For the Dong people in Guizhou, making indigo cloth has a long tradition. The 2 has been passed down from mother to daughter over generations. Nearly every family makes its own cloth. This traditional way of making indigo cloth, unfortunately, is now in danger. It will disappear slowly in the modern industrial society. Young people show little interest in it. Some of them have 3 to big cities to find better jobs. Local officials want to save the tradition. They are trying to change young people’s 4 towards it. One program has set up several cloth-making factories in Guizhou. After learning how to make indigo cloth, young Dong people can find jobs easily. They can also work closer to home. The Dong people consider indigo cloth as 5 as rice. Many Dong women spend countless hours making the cloth. They rise and start working very early in the morning. To make the cloth shiny, it must be rubbed (搓) and beaten hard. The noise of cloth being beaten often 6 the whole village up. Almost every Dong woman over 40 has a tub for indigo dye (染料).

Every year, people around the world use billions of tons of paper. But do you know how paper is made? Most paper is made from wood. First, workers cut down trees and turn them into wood pulp (纸浆). Then, they make the pulp into paper. It takes about 17 trees to make one ton of paper. That means we cut down millions of trees every year just for paper. Paper is very useful in our daily life. We use it to write, to print books, and to wrap things. But we also waste a lot of paper. Every day, people throw away tons of used paper. If we reuse and recycle paper, we can save many trees. Recycling one ton of paper can save 17 trees and a lot of water. It also helps to reduce pollution. In many countries, schools and companies have started recycling programs. They collect used paper and send it to factories to be made into new paper. We can also do our part at home. Small actions can make a big difference. 1．What is most paper made from? 2．How many trees does it take to make one ton of paper? 3．Why do schools and companies send used paper to factories? 4．What will you do to save paper in your daily life? (Write 30 words or more) When Matty Sallin was studying art and technology at New York University, he got an interesting task for the final exam: Create something for the ordinary family. He decided to create an alarm clock. “To get up in time, many people have to use an alarm clock every morning. But the sound of the clock is extremely noisy and unpleasant,” he says. (So before he started to design the new clock, he asked different people what they’d like to wake them up in the morning.) A lot of them said, “The smell of bacon (培根).” So Sallin and his two classmates invented a new kind of alarm clock: a wooden box with a pig face and a digital clock that uses the smell of cooking bacon to wake people up. He explains, “There’s no danger of burning, because I built it carefully. It uses special light bulbs (灯泡) instead of a fire for cooking and turns off automatically (自动地) after ten minutes.” Just a few easy steps are required to set the “alarm”. “What you need to do is to put a few pieces of bacon inside the box the night before, and set the alarm,” says Sallin. “If you set the alarm for 8:00, it will turn on at 7:50 and slowly cook for ten minutes under the bulbs. Then the bulbs turn off and a fan blows the smell out through the nose of the pig. So the pleasant smell of bacon will wake you up. There will be no more noisy alarms. Then you can open the door on the side and pull the bacon out and eat it.” When Sallin was a kid, he spent a lot of time making drawings of inventions. “I wanted to make a lift in my back yard and a special tree house.” he says. “But I never really thought I’d become an inventor!” Sallin got an A for his alarm clock and went on to invent other things-but people continue to email him every day asking where they can buy his alarm clock. If he decides to produce and sell his special alarm clock, maybe he can build a successful business out of it. 1．How many people worked together on the new alarm clock? 2．How long does it take the alarm clock to cook the bacon? 3．Why are light bulbs used for cooking bacon instead of a fire? 4．What do you think of the new alarm clock?
