Robert Taylor talks about his art show
Like all children, I was always getting myself and the kitchen table in a mess when I first took an interest in painting. Unlike many kids, who give up activities like art for other subjects when they go through school, I continued painting throughout my childhood. Now, after years of enjoyment, I’ve finally decided to display some of my works by holding an show at Glebe Street library.
I’ve never had any formal art training. When I was trying to decide what I should study at university, art as a subject never entered my head. I always thought my parents wanted me to follow a subject that would be useful when I was looking for a job, so I ended up taking a business course.
And during my time at university, I seldom painted. It wouldn’t have been easy to paint anyway as I lived in school and had very little space. I kept an interest in art though and visited local exhibitions (展览) whenever I could, but that was about it. It was later in my thirties while I was working that I discovered my love of the activity again. Since then I’ve made a point of spending at least one evening a week painting.
However, my works have only ever been seen by trusted friends. They’ve always given me plenty of support and encouragement. But I’ve always wondered what strangers would think. Maybe they could give me an honest opinion of my ability. The library has offered me a room for the show. They’ve asked me to supply questionnaires about the event and I’ve included a section for visitors’ comments about the works. I’m very much looking forward to reading these opinions.
4. What can we know about the writer from paragraph 1?
A. He kept painting in his childhood.
B. He has held several great art shows.
C. He liked cooking when he was a child.
D. He gave up other subjects for art in school.
5. Why did the writer choose a business course instead of art in university?
A. He had no formal art training.
B. His parents forced him to do so.
C. The business course helps in job-hunting.
D. Jobs in business were well-paid.
6. What did the writer do about art in university?
A. He painted a lot in school. B. He visited art exhibitions.
C. He organized art activities. D. He did part-time jobs about art.
7. Which of the following words best describe the writer?
A. Hardworking but shy. B. Creative but unlucky.
C. Positive and warm-hearted. D. Determined and talented.
C
For teenagers and their parents, middle school, the two words can cause much excitement as well as anxiety and fear. Kids are, all of a sudden, really growing up. Their bodies are changing in unexpected ways; they’re shedding their childhood styles, and trying on new ones, for better and — sometimes — for worse. They are forming new friendships and expecting better academic performances in the classroom.
The new graphic novel, Curlfriends: New In Town, written and drawn by author and artist Sharee Miller, reminds us of the many possibilities and excitements mixed within those challenging years. The book follows 12-year-old Charlie Harper, beginning around her first day of middle school. She is tired of letting other people label her and ready to take control of her own story. Starting with her look, she decides to reshape herself.
There are a series of new changes and meetings, where Charlie is also facing various decisions, new things and new relationships. She experiences puzzle and a lack of self-confidence, but also gains a new friendship and a better understanding of herself. The one constant thing in Charlie's life is her affection of drawing and art, through which she ultimately figures out how to mark her place in this new world — her middle school.
Curlfriends is a delightful book, packed with sunny illustrations (插图), even as it also cuts into the heart of the challenging tensions during this intermediate stage of life. Charlie’s new friends feel like most imperfect friendships. They might argue with each other, but the overall feeling is sweet. I love the fact that the book is about day-to-day life, which is rare.
Along with other popular middle school graphic novels, Curlfriends is a book about finding one’s passions while facing newfound responsibilities and independence in changing social settings. Curlfriends is as much about expressions of self-pride and self-respect as it is about showing care for others.
8. Which is closest in meaning to “shedding” in paragraph 1?
A. Improving. B. Recalling.
C. Getting rid of. D. Holding on to.
9. What helps Charlie mark her place in middle school?
A. Her right decisions. B. Her new friends.
C. Her love for art. D. Her teachers’ guidance.
10. What does the author like about Curlfriends?
A. Its views are well-expressed. B. Its characters are distinctive and charming.
C. It has bright illustrations. D. It captures an ordinary everyday reality.
11. Who is Sharee Miller’s book targeted at?
A. Parents. B. Young teenagers.
C. Teachers. D. Art students.
D
We all have a tendency to fake laugh when others try to make a joke. Though it might feel rude not to laugh when your boss try to say something funny, pretending to do so might not be much better. It turns out people are pretty good at separating truly spirited laughs from fake ones. But how can they possible know the difference?
Researchers at the University of California, Los Angeles studied the differences between real and fake laughter, they found some of the sounds associated with genuine laughter is “really hard to fake.” In their study, the researchers determined that subjects were only fooled by 37 percent of fake laughter.
The most obvious factor telling real laughter from fake laughter is the number of breaths taken in between sounds. Seeing as it takes more effort and concentration to fake a laugh, people tend to pause more in between their “ha-ha’s” when they’re faking it. Evidently, that pausing is pretty noticeable.
“A fake laugh is basically an imitation of a real laugh, but produced with a slightly different set of vocal muscles controlled by a different part of our brain,” Greg Bryant, the lead UCLA researcher on the study, explained.
Carolyn McGettigan, a scientist at Royal Holloway, University of London, conducted a 2014 study that recorded participants’ brain responses as they listened to the same people produce genuine laughter as opposed to fake laughter. She found when participants heard a fake laugh, they activated regions of the brain associated with mentalizing in an attempt to understand the other person’s emotional and mental state.
So, while we may understand that certain social situations sometimes require fake laughter, most of the time, our emotional intelligence is just too smart to buy into them.
12. What is the function of the first paragraph?
A. To show us a tendency. B. To introduce the topic of the text.
C. To teach us how to laugh politely. D. To prove the importance of laugh.
13. What is the most noticeable factor between real laughter and fake laughter?
A. The length of the laughter. B. Muscles one uses to make the laugh.
C. Times one pauses during the laugh. D. Breaths one takes in between sounds.
14. Which of the following will Greg Bryant agree with?
A. Real laughter and fake laughter are hard to tell apart.
B. Real laughter doesn’t need to be controlled by our brain.
C. Real laughter and fake laughter are linked to different parts of the brain.
D. Real laughter and fake laughter are made using the same set of muscles.
15. What can we learn from the last paragraph?
A. People can tell fake laughter. B. Fake laughter can be bought.
C. People like fake laughter. D. Fake laughter is needed in all social situations.

Alex sat quietly at the back of his Chinese class, his eyes fixed on the textbook before him. As a shy and unnoticed student, he felt lonely, struggling against the challenges of high school life. Ms Lau, his Chinese teacher, was a light in his dark world. Her warm smile and gentle behavior made her stand out among the sea of teachers. She was the only one who seemed to understand him, always encouraging him to step out of his comfort zone.
One day, after class, Ms Lau asked Alex to her office with excitement shining in her eyes. “Alex, I have an offer for you,” she said, her voice filled with joy. “I am organizing a cultural exchange program to China, and I believe it would be a great opportunity for you to explore a new world.”
Alex’s heart raced wildly, the thought of traveling to a foreign country both exciting and frightening. He felt worried, unsure if it was a good idea to start such an adventure. But Ms Lau’s smile gave him the push he needed to make the decision.
With Ms Lau’s help, Alex began preparing for the trip. He got really interested in Chinese culture and learned about its long history and traditions. After Ms Lau became his Chinese teacher, he learned not only the language but also invaluable life lessons from her. She taught him the importance of being confident and not giving up, reminding him that growth only happens outside one’s comfort zone.
The day of the program arrived, and Alex found himself on a plane headed for China. He couldn’t help but feel shocked as he stepped off the plane and into a world so different from his own. The busy streets, bright colors, and unfamiliar sounds flooded his senses. Yet, Ms Lau’s comforting presence by his side provided him with the strength to face the unknown.

I kept an interest in art though and visited local exhibitions (展览) whenever I could, but that was about it. It was later in my thirties while I was working that I discovered my love of the activity again. Since then I’ve made a point of spending at least one evening a week painting.
However, my works have only ever been seen by trusted friends. They’ve always given me plenty of support and encouragement. But I’ve always wondered what strangers would think. Maybe they could give me an honest opinion of my ability. The library has offered me a room for the show. They’ve asked me to supply questionnaires about the event and I’ve included a section for visitors’ comments about the works. I’m very much looking forward to reading these opinions.

Now, after years of enjoyment, I’ve finally decided to display some of my works by holding an show at Glebe Street library(就像所有的孩子一样,当我第一次对绘画感兴趣时,总会把厨房桌子和我自己弄得一团糟。与许多孩子不同,他们在上学时会因为其他科目而放弃艺术等活动,我整个童年都在继续画画。现在,经过多年的享受,我终于决定在格莱比街图书馆举办一场展览来展示我的一些作品)”可知,作者童年一直绘画,说明他有毅力;从文章最后一段“However, my works have only ever been seen by trusted friends.

For teenagers and their parents, middle school, the two words can cause much excitement as well as anxiety and fear. Kids are, all of a sudden, really growing up. Their bodies are changing in unexpected ways; they’re shedding their childhood styles, and trying on new ones, for better and — sometimes — for worse. They are forming new friendships and expecting better academic performances in the classroom.
The new graphic novel, Curlfriends: New In Town, written and drawn by author and artist Sharee Miller, reminds us of the many possibilities and excitements mixed within those challenging years. The book follows 12-year-old Charlie Harper, beginning around her first day of middle school. She is tired of letting other people label her and ready to take control of her own story. Starting with her look, she decides to reshape herself.
There are a series of new changes and meetings, where Charlie is also facing various decisions, new things and new relationships. She experiences puzzle and a lack of self-confidence, but also gains a new friendship and a better understanding of herself. The one constant thing in Charlie's life is her affection of drawing and art, through which she ultimately figures out how to mark her place in this new world — her middle school.
Curlfriends is a delightful book, packed with sunny illustrations (插图), even as it also cuts into the heart of the challenging tensions during this intermediate stage of life. Charlie’s new friends feel like most imperfect friendships. They might argue with each other, but the overall feeling is sweet. I love the fact that the book is about day-to-day life, which is rare.
Along with other popular middle school graphic novels, Curlfriends is a book about finding one’s passions while facing newfound responsibilities and independence in changing social settings. Curlfriends is as much about expressions of self-pride and self-respect as it is about showing care for others.
8. Which is closest in meaning to “shedding” in paragraph 1?
A. Improving. B. Recalling.
C. Getting rid of. D. Holding on to.
9. What helps Charlie mark her place in middle school?
A. Her right decisions. B. Her new friends.
C. Her love for art. D. Her teachers’ guidance.
10. What does the author like about Curlfriends?
A. Its views are well-expressed. B. Its characters are distinctive and charming.
C. It has bright illustrations. D. It captures an ordinary everyday reality.
11. Who is Sharee Miller’s book targeted at?
A. Parents. B. Young teenagers.
C. Teachers. D. Art students.
【答案】8. C 9. C 10. D 11. B
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了《Curlfriends》一书,这本书通过讲述Charlie Harper的故事,展现了中学生生活中的挑战、成长、自我发现和友情。文章旨在鼓励学生勇敢面对生活, 积极寻找自我, 珍惜友情。
【8题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第一段中的“Their bodies are changing in unexpected ways; they’re shedding their childhood styles, and trying on new ones, for better and — sometimes — for worse.(他们的身体正以意想不到的方式发生变化;他们正在____童年的风格,尝试新的风格,结果可能更好,有时也可能更糟。)”可知,这里说孩子们身体在变化,尝试新风格,那应该是不再保持童年风格了。shedding意思应是“摆脱,去除”,与Getting rid of意思最接近。故选C项。
【9题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段中的“The one constant thing in Charlie's life is her affection of drawing and art, through which she ultimately figures out how to mark her place in this new world—her middle school.(查理生活中唯一不变的是她对绘画和艺术的热爱,通过这一点,她最终弄清楚了如何在这个新的世界 —— 她的中学里占据一席之地。)”可知,是她对艺术的热爱帮助查理在中学里找到了自己的位置。故选C项。
【10题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段中的“I love the fact that the book is about day-to-day life, which is rare.(我喜欢这本书是关于日常生活的,这是很罕见的。)” 可知,作者喜欢《Curlfriends》这本书是因为它描绘了普通的日常现实。故选D项。
【11题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段“For teenagers and their parents, middle school, the two words can cause much excitement as well as anxiety and fear.(对于青少年和他们的父母来说,‘中学’这两个字会引起很多兴奋,也会带来焦虑和恐惧。)”以及第二段“The new graphic novel, Curlfriends: New In Town, written and drawn by author and artist Sharee Miller, reminds us of the many possibilities and excitements mixed within those challenging years.(由作家兼艺术家莎丽・米勒创作和绘制的新漫画小说《Curlfriends:New In Town》,让我们想起了那些充满挑战的岁月里混合着的许多可能性和兴奋。)”可知,这本书主要围绕中学阶段展开,而中学阶段的主体是青少年,且这本书讲述的是青少年在中学的经历,所以莎丽・米勒的这本书的目标读者是青少年。故选B项。

We all have a tendency to fake laugh when others try to make a joke. Though it might feel rude not to laugh when your boss try to say something funny, pretending to do so might not be much better. It turns out people are pretty good at separating truly spirited laughs from fake ones. But how can they possible know the difference?
Researchers at the University of California, Los Angeles studied the differences between real and fake laughter, they found some of the sounds associated with genuine laughter is “really hard to fake.” In their study, the researchers determined that subjects were only fooled by 37 percent of fake laughter.
The most obvious factor telling real laughter from fake laughter is the number of breaths taken in between sounds. Seeing as it takes more effort and concentration to fake a laugh, people tend to pause more in between their “ha-ha’s” when they’re faking it. Evidently, that pausing is pretty noticeable.
“A fake laugh is basically an imitation of a real laugh, but produced with a slightly different set of vocal muscles controlled by a different part of our brain,” Greg Bryant, the lead UCLA researcher on the study, explained.
Carolyn McGettigan, a scientist at Royal Holloway, University of London, conducted a 2014 study that recorded participants’ brain responses as they listened to the same people produce genuine laughter as opposed to fake laughter. She found when participants heard a fake laugh, they activated regions of the brain associated with mentalizing in an attempt to understand the other person’s emotional and mental state.
So, while we may understand that certain social situations sometimes require fake laughter, most of the time, our emotional intelligence is just too smart to buy into them.
12. What is the function of the first paragraph?
A. To show us a tendency. B. To introduce the topic of the text.
C. To teach us how to laugh politely. D. To prove the importance of laugh.
13. What is the most noticeable factor between real laughter and fake laughter?
A. The length of the laughter. B. Muscles one uses to make the laugh.
C. Times one pauses during the laugh. D. Breaths one takes in between sounds.
14. Which of the following will Greg Bryant agree with?
A. Real laughter and fake laughter are hard to tell apart.
B. Real laughter doesn’t need to be controlled by our brain.
C. Real laughter and fake laughter are linked to different parts of the brain.
D. Real laughter and fake laughter are made using the same set of muscles.
15. What can we learn from the last paragraph?
A. People can tell fake laughter. B. Fake laughter can be bought.
C. People like fake laughter. D. Fake laughter is needed in all social situations.
【答案】12. B 13. D 14. C 15. A
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。主要介绍了关于真笑和假笑区别的研究,研究表明人们通常很擅长区分真笑和假笑。
【12题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段最后两句“It turns out people are pretty good at separating truly spirited laughs from fake ones. But how can they possible know the difference?”(事实证明,人们很善于区分真正的笑声和虚假的笑声。但他们怎么可能知道其中的区别呢?)并结合下文关于真笑和假笑区别的研究可知,第一段的功能是为了引出本文主题——真笑和假笑的区别。故选B项。
【13题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段第一句“The most obvious factor telling real laughter from fake laughter is the number of breaths taken in between sounds.”(区分真笑和假笑最明显的因素是声音之间的呼吸次数。)可知,真笑和假笑最明显的区别是声音之间的呼吸次数不同。故选D项。
【14题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段“A fake laugh is basically an imitation of a real laugh, but produced with a slightly different set of vocal muscles controlled by a different part of our brain”(假笑基本上是对真笑的模仿,但它是由大脑的不同部分控制的一组稍微不同的发声肌肉产生的)可知,Greg Bryant认为真笑和假笑与大脑的不同部位有关。故选C项。
【15题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“So, while we may understand that certain social situations sometimes require fake laughter, most of the time, our emotional intelligence is just too smart to buy into them.”(所以,虽然我们可能明白某些社交场合有时需要假笑,但大多数时候,我们的情商太聪明了,不会接受这些假笑。)可知,人们的情商很高,可以分辨出假笑。故选A项。

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。
Alex sat quietly at the back of his Chinese class, his eyes fixed on the textbook before him. As a shy and unnoticed student, he felt lonely, struggling against the challenges of high school life. Ms Lau, his Chinese teacher, was a light in his dark world. Her warm smile and gentle behavior made her stand out among the sea of teachers. She was the only one who seemed to understand him, always encouraging him to step out of his comfort zone.
One day, after class, Ms Lau asked Alex to her office with excitement shining in her eyes. “Alex, I have an offer for you,” she said, her voice filled with joy. “I am organizing a cultural exchange program to China, and I believe it would be a great opportunity for you to explore a new world.”
Alex’s heart raced wildly, the thought of traveling to a foreign country both exciting and frightening. He felt worried, unsure if it was a good idea to start such an adventure. But Ms Lau’s smile gave him the push he needed to make the decision.
With Ms Lau’s help, Alex began preparing for the trip. He got really interested in Chinese culture and learned about its long history and traditions. After Ms Lau became his Chinese teacher, he learned not only the language but also invaluable life lessons from her. She taught him the importance of being confident and not giving up, reminding him that growth only happens outside one’s comfort zone.
The day of the program arrived, and Alex found himself on a plane headed for China. He couldn’t help but feel shocked as he stepped off the plane and into a world so different from his own. The busy streets, bright colors, and unfamiliar sounds flooded his senses. Yet, Ms Lau’s comforting presence by his side provided him with the strength to face the unknown.

【答案】One possible version:
During their time in China, Alex enjoyed the experience. He felt so excited that he couldn’t wait to explore China. The high buildings, the modern cities, the breath-taking scenery and the advanced technology made Alex really fall in love with this great country. Also, Alex visited several well-known places of interest in China, such as the Great Wall, the Forbidden City and so on, where he learned much more about Chinese traditional culture and history. Apart from that, he enjoyed a lot of Chinese delicious food, among which he liked the Beijing Roast Duck best. Most importantly, to his happiness, he made a lot of Chinese friends who were friendly and kind to him.
Back to New Zealand, Alex was a changed person. He was no longer shy and quiet. He became much more confident and outgoing. As soon as he went back to school, he was glad to tell his classmates about his wonderful experience in China. He studied even harder and was also brave to express opinions and ideas in the class, which won him popularity among teachers and students. More and more classmates made friends with Alex, which made him happier and more optimistic towards life and future.
