What do you see when you look at abstract(抽象) art?Does it make sense to you?Does it look like anything?Is it supposed to?
Abstract art became popular in the early 20th century.Artists did not want to paint,draw,or sculpt things exactly(确切地) like they looked.They didn't want their art to be realistic.They were more interested in basic shapes and colours.
Picasso is probably the most famous of these artists.He painted and drew in many,many styles.Sometimes he used a lot of blue colours(his"blue period").Later,he used more red and pink colours (his"rose period").Many of his other paintings are called"cubist(立体画派)"because they are made of painted squares.
After a long time,Picasso's paintings became more and more abstract.He painted people and things using strange shapes.His work was so original; many of his fellow artists didn't understand it.
Kandinsky,another famous artist,used lines,shapes,and patterns to paint his subjects.His paintings also used strong colours to express feelings.
Other artists like the surrealists(超现实主义者),were interested in subconscious(潜意识).Painters like Breton and Magritte used many symbol in their work.The meaning or subject of their work wasn't always clear.Dali,another surrealist artist,painted pictures that look like dreams.
There are still many abstract artists around the world.That's the way many artists prefer.They want each person to look at art and find their own meaning in it.

When Justin Tong was a child, other kids felt sorry for him. His parents always had him doing lots of housework such as carrying out the rubbish and sending newspapers. But when he grew up, he was better off than his childhood friends and lived a happier and healthier life.
These are the finding of a 40﹣year study that followed the lives of 456 children in London. It showed that the children who had worked hard in childhood had a richer and a happier future. "Children who worked in the home or community gained competence(能力) and came to feel they were worthwhile members of society," said Daniel Brown, the psychologist(心理学家) who made the discovery. "And because they felt good about themselves, others felt good about them."
Brown's study followed these children in great detail. Interviews were repeated at ages 25, 31 and 47. Under Brown, the researchers compared the children's mental﹣health scores with their childhood﹣activity scores. Points were awarded for part﹣time jobs, housework, effort in school, and ability to deal with problems.
Working at any age is important. Childhood activities help a child develop responsibility, independence, confidence and competence ﹣ the underpinnings (基础) of emotional health. They also help him understand that people must cooperate and work toward common goals. The most competent adults are those who know how to do this.Yet work isn't everything. As Tolstoy once said, "One can live magnificently in this world if one knows how to work and how to love, to work for the person one loves and to love one's work."

A.Children who enjoy happier and richer lives.
B.Children who work in the home or community.
C.Children who take part in Daniel Brown's study.
D.Children who feel good about people around them.
(3)How did Brown follow the children in his study?
A.By giving housework and praise.
B.By interviewing and giving scores.
C.By setting goals and showing love.
D.By solving problems and testing them.
(4)What's the purpose of the passage?
A.To talk about an interesting study.
B.To introduce Justin Tong's success.
C.To tell us about childhood activities.
D.To encourage children to work hard.
They say that"travel is the best teacher"and there is no better example of this idea than the Ming dynasty travel writer and geographer Xu Xiake (1587﹣1641). His book The Travel Notes of Xu Xiake, not only encouraged a love of travelling among Chinese people but provided important scientific information about the country's land and geography.
Born into a wealthy Jiangyin family, Xu became interested in books about different places at an early age and wanted to travel. When he was 18, however, Xu's father died and so, it seemed, did his travelling dreams. He now was responsible for the family farm and taking care of his 60﹣year﹣old mother as tradition required.
But his mother had different ideas. Understanding her son's love of travel and valuing the knowledge he could get from such experiences, this modern﹣thinking woman refused to keep her son at home. She agreed that Xu could travel for three months every year, when there was less farm work.
So at the age of twenty and with his mother's support, Xu set off for the first time, leaving behind not only his mother but his new wife as well. He would repeat this goodbye each year for most of the next 30 years. During this time, he travelled throughout the Ming kingdom, carefully studying the lands he passed through and recording his experiences and many discoveries in a diary This diary, which once had over 500,000 words, would eventually become The Travel Notes of Xu Xiake.
Although rich, Xu avoided comfortable travel, preferring to go almost everywhere on foot. This way he could research the environment in detail and get a true picture of the natural world. Many of his trips were to hard﹣to﹣reach mountain areas, and through wild forests where few people lived. His willingness to face hardships came at a cost however. Progress was slow and tiring and he was frequently sick, robbed and beaten during his journeys.
Sadly Xu became seriously ill during his last and longest journey, a 4﹣year trip through the Southwest of China. He died in 1641, soon after returning to his hometown for the last time. When his diary was finally printed years after his death, much of it had been destroyed or lost. Although incomplete, it still made Xu a travelling legend around the world.

An elephant and a crocodile were once standing beside river. They were disputing which was the better animal.
"Look at my strength, "said the elephant. "I can pull up a tree, roots and all, with my trunk."
"Ah! But your skin is not nearly so thick as mine, "replied the crocodile. "No knife or tooth can cut through it."
Just as they were coming to blows, a lion happened to pass.
"My dear friends !" said the King of all animals, going up to them. "Let me know the cause of your disagreement."
"Will you kindly tell us which is the better animal? "cried both at once.
"Certainly, "said the lion, pointing across the river. "Do you see the soldiers metal hat on that wall?"
"Yes! "replied the beasts.
"Well, then, "continued the lion, " go and get it, and bring it to me, and I shall be able then to decide between you."
Upon hearing this, off they started.The crocodile, being used to the water, reached the opposite side of the river first, and was soon standing beside the wall.
Here he waited till the elephant came up. The elephant, seeing that the crocodile had no way of reaching their goal, raised his long trunk, and took down the hat quite easily.
They then made their way together back again across the river. The elephant was trying to keep up with the fast﹣moving crocodile in the water and became careless. When he was forced to turn sharply to avoid a floating tree branch, the elephant dropped the hat and it fell to the river bottom. The crocodile noticed the accident, so down he dived, and brought it up in his huge mouth. They then returned, and the crocodile laid the metal hat at the lion's feet. The King took it up, and turning to the elephant, said:"You, because of your size and trunk, were able to reach the hat on the wall but, having lost it,you were unable to get it back. And you, said the lion to the crocodile, "although unable to reach the hat, were able to dive for it and save it. You are both wise and able in your own ways. One is no better than the other."

There's much to see under the sea, but you need to remember that light behaves differently in water than in air. The objects appear closer to you than they exactly are. You might find yourself reaching out to touch something and completely missing it.
Objects under water will appear larger than they would on the surface, too. Be careful not to tell any stories about the big fish that got away. That fish might not be so big after all! It's just because sometimes things can seem to be as much as about 33 percent bigger in water!
What's more, in deeper water, colors just don't seem as bright. In fact, it looks as if some colors are missing. Remember the color of an object results from the wavelengths(波长) of light that are reflected(反射) from its surface. And light is taken in as it moves down through the water.
Swimmers wear wet suits to keep warm underwater. Let's take a bright red, yellow, and blue wet suit as an example. These colors are hard to miss on the surface of water. Watch carefully the changes in color as you descend in the water. The red part now looks almost black because the red light wavelengths, the longest among these three colors, are missing. As you go down deeper, the same thing will happen to the yellow part and in the end to the blue part. Even at a place of about 6 to 9 meters underwater, you will look terrible, like a ghost(鬼怪)! And you have to wait for your return to the surface to enjoy the bright colors again!
(1)You miss the object underwater when you want to touch it because .
A. your eyesight is quite poor
B. you are not quick enough
C. it is not as close as it seems
D. it disappears very quickly
(2)The example of the wet suit is used to explain the change of of an object underwater.
A. the size
B. the color
C. the position
D. the weight
(3)The underlined word"descend" probably means in Chinese in this passage.
A.上升
B.漂浮
C.屏息
D.下潜
(4)Which of the fo1lowing is true?
A. A four﹣meter﹣long fish looks three meters long underwater.
B. The wavelengths of red light are longer than those of blue light.
C. Much water will be taken in by the swimmer deep in the water.
D. You will see a ghost if you go as deep as 6 to 9 meters into the sea.
(5)The best title of this passage is .
A. The Standard of Color Underwater
B. The Direction of Light Underwater
C. The Brightness of Color Underwater
D. The Behavior of Light Underwater
Many people know that rubbish is a big problem on planet Earth. What many people don't know is that junk(垃圾)has become a problem in outer space too.
According to BBC News, there are more than 22, 000 pieces of space junk floating around the earth. And these are just the things that we can see from the surface of the earth by telescopes (望远镜). There are also millions of smaller pieces of junk that we can't see.
Objects, like bits of old space rockets or satellites, move around the planet at very high speeds,so fast that even a very small piece can break important satellites or become dangerous to astronauts. If the tiniest piece of junk crashed into a spaceship, it could damage the vehicle.
To make things worse, when two objects in space crash, they break into many smaller pieces. For example, when a U.S. satellite hit an old Russian rocket in 2009, it broke into more than 2,000 pieces, increasing the amount of space junk.
To reduce additional space junk, countries have agreed that all new space tools can only stay in space for 25 years at most. Each tool must be built to fall safely into the earth's atmosphere after that time. In the upper parts of the atmosphere, it will burn up.
Many scientists also suggesting different ways to clean up space junk. In England scientists are testing a metal net that can be fired into space junk. The net catches the junk and then pulls it into the earth's atmosphere to burn up. The Germans are building robots that can collect pieces of space junk and bring them back to Earth to be safely destroyed.
The problem is becoming more challenging because we're sending more objects into space to help people use their mobile phones and computers," says Marco Castronuovo, an Italian space Researcher.
"The time to act is now. The longer we leave the problem, the bigger it will become," he says.
(1)What does the underlined word "these" in Paragraph 2 refer to ?

(3)Countries want future space tools to be able to fall back into the earth's atmosphere so that .
A. the tools can be reused later
B. the tools don't become space junk
C. the earth's atmosphere can stay clean
D. the effects of space flight can be studied
(4)How do the Germans plan to deal with space junk ?

What's better for learning, hands﹣on projects or tests?
We did a survey about two days to study in our school. 73% of the students prefer hands﹣on( 动手的)projects while the rest think tests are better for learning. Here are four students'ideas.
Hands﹣on projects require time and hard work to complete. It teaches kids not to put things off.Some kids might get bored and be less interested in studying for a test. Studying also doesn't prepare you as much for the future, since jobs at times will have more difficult tasks than simply studying for a test. Also, completing a project is good for spending time with your friends or family. ﹣﹣﹣Bruno |
With a hands﹣on project you can be creative while you learn. It's also a lot more fun than sitting at a desk with flash cards, memorizing information they forget about after the test. Besides, with a hands﹣on project you can learn more than you expected, like problem solving, creativity, and different ways of thinking.﹣﹣﹣David |
When people study, they remember what was in the book. If they know they have a test, they will most likely take notes on all the important information to help them with the test, so they will learn it better.﹣﹣﹣Alice |
I think kids learn better studying for tests. If you actually sit and study what you are supposed to learn, you will remember it. hands﹣on projects might end up making a kid feel stressed if they are trying to finish on time, and if you are stressed, you might not learn as much. ﹣﹣﹣Matt |
(1)According to the survey, how many students like studying for tests better?
A. 73%
B. 50%.
C. 27%
D. 100%
(2)What does Bruno think of hands﹣on projects?
A. They may be less interesting and more difficult.
B. They can make children learn to put off tasks
C. They are much easier than studying for tests.
D. They may help children to improve friendship
(3)How many reasons does David give why he prefers hands﹣on projects?
A.Two
B. Three
C. Four
D. Five
(4)Which sentence describes Matt and Alice' s point of view( 观点)of studying for tests?

All over the world the need for more laptops and computers increases each year.Networks have been part of our life.Probably everyone with a portable device (移动设备)has once logged on to a public WiFi network without paying for it,while they are having a coffee,on a train,in a shopping mall or at a hotel.However,is this kind of public WiFi network safe?
Some networks are better protected than others because encryption (加密)methods are used.Therefore,they are safer than others.But a survey in 2015 showed that more than 950 million records were not protected,including addresses,emails,birth dates,phone numbers,passwords and so on.These open WiFi networks are really not safe,because it is very easy for hackers (黑客) to break into the operating system and get people's private information.
Most smartphones and laptops,by themselves,search and connect to WiFi networks.They usually prefer a network with a connection that has been used before.Hackers'devices are able to record these searches and look like the trusted WiFi networks.When these smartphones and laptops log on to the networks which are not real,hackers can easily steal their private information.
So next time,when we want to use our laptops or our smartphones in public places which offer free WiFi networks,please think it twice or take safe measures before using them.
42.Why do people like to go log on to a public WiFi network?
A.Because it can provide useful information.
B.Because the owner of the network is polite.
C.Because it is free.
D.Because it is safe.
43.We can learn from the passage that
A.not all the public WiFi networks are safe
B.none of the public WiFi networks is safe
C.in 2015more than 950million records were protected
D.there is no way to protect our private information
44.Hackers would probably get the following EXCEPT when we connect our laptops or smartphones to a public WiFi network.
A.our birth dates
B.our passwords
C.our phone numbers
D.our smartphones
45.Which of the following can be the best title of this passage?
A.Don't Use Public WiFi Networks
B.Why the Public WiFi Networks a Possible Danger
C.We Needn't Protect Our Private Information
D.Why Hackers Break into the Operating System.

Students at a primary school in Fuzhou,Hast China's Fujian Province were required to clean the school toilets to help them develop good habits.But some parents are strongly against the idea.They can't see the advantages of students doing such chores (杂亊).They think that the school should provide students with a proper education,not the chance to be school cleaners.
In fact,parents,schools and society play an equally (同等地)important role in developing the character of students.It is good for schools to give students such tasks,because few of the students will do them at home.Their parents want them to do homework only.
In recent years,some parents will make mountains out of molehills when students are asked to do some chores in schools.Some complain about the teachers if their kids get hurt in schools; some even challenge the schools'teaching methods and management.As a result,many primary schools,especially those in big cities,do not let students join in outdoor activities during breaks,fearing that they might get hurt.This is bad for the development of students'best qualities.
What the primary school in Fuzhou is doing is worth praising.Doing chores can put a sense of responsibility into students'minds and teach them the spirit of rules as well as teamwork.Also,it can make students'in﹣school experiences more meaningful.

In the summer between my first year and second year in college,I was invited to be an instructor (辅导员)at a high school camp.On the first day,when we were dancing and playing games,I noticed a boy under the tree who was small and thin.His shyness made him appear weak.I walked towards him,introduced myself and invited him to join in the activities and meet some new people.He quietly replied,"No,I really don't want to do this."I could understand that he was in a new world but I knew it wouldn't be right to force him,either.Actually,the boy didn't need a close talk but a friend.
At lunch the next day,I was leading camp songs when 1saw the boy under the tree sitting alone.I tried again with the same invitation,but he refused once again.That evening I was told the boy's name was Tommy.Then I asked the campers to pay special attention to the boy and spend time with him when they could.
The days went by and the time came when we had to leave.We held a big,warm party to celebrate the closing of the camp.All the campers shared their wonderful moments.To my surprise.1found the boy from under the tree dancing joyfully with two girls.I couldn't believe it was the same person.
In October of my second year,I received a phone call from Tommy's mother.She told me that Tommy was hit by a car and killed.I offered my deep sadness.The mother said:"'Tommy mentioned you so many times.I want you to know that he went back to school and made new friends with confidence.You made a difference for Tommy during his last months."
At that moment,I realized how easy it was to give a bit of yourself every day.You may never know how much each gesture may mean to someone else.I hope that everyone can pay attention to their own"boy under the tree".

All over the world the need for more laptops and computers increases each year.Networks have been part of our life.Probably everyone with a portable device (移动设备)has once logged on to a public WiFi network without paying for it,while they are having a coffee,on a train,in a shopping mall or at a hotel.However,is this kind of public WiFi network safe?
Some networks are better protected than others because encryption (加密)methods are used.Therefore,they are safer than others.But a survey in 2015 showed that more than 950 million records were not protected,including addresses,emails,birth dates,phone numbers,passwords and so on.These open WiFi networks are really not safe,because it is very easy for hackers (黑客) to break into the operating system and get people's private information.
Most smartphones and laptops,by themselves,search and connect to WiFi networks.They usually prefer a network with a connection that has been used before.Hackers'devices are able to record these searches and look like the trusted WiFi networks.When these smartphones and laptops log on to the networks which are not real,hackers can easily steal their private information.
