A number of street artists around the world have started expressing themselves through a practice known as reverse graffiti (涂鸦).They find dirty surfaces and paint them with images or messages using cleaning brushes or pressure hoses (高压水管). Either way, its the same principle: the image is made by cleaning away the dirt. Each artist has their own individual style but all artists share a common aim: to draw attention to the pollution in our cities. The UICs Paul Curtis, better known as Moose, operates around Leeds and London and has been commissioned by a number of companies to make reverse graffiti advertisements.Brazilian artist, Alexandre Orion, turned one of Sao Paulos transport tunnels into an amazing wall painting in 2006 by getting rid of the dirt. Made up of a series of white skulls (颅骨)，the painting reminds drivers of the effect their pollution is having on the planet. “Every motorist sits in the comfort of their car, but they dont give any consideration to the price their comfort has for the environment and consequently for themselves,” says Orion.The anti-pollution message of the reverse graffiti artists confuses city authorities since the main argument against graffiti is that it spoils the appearance of both types of property: public and private. This was what Leeds City Council said about Mooses work: “Leeds residents want to live in clean and attractive neighborhoods. We view this kind of advertising as environmental damage and will take strong action against it.” Moose was ordered to “clean up his act.” How was he supposed to do this: by making all property he had cleaned dirty again?As for the Brazilian artists work, the authorities were annoyed but could find nothing to charge him with. They had no other option but to clean the tunnelbut only the parts Alexandre had already cleaned. The artist merely continued his campaign on the other side. The city officials then decided to take drastic action. They not only cleaned the whole tunnel but every tunnel in Sao Paulo.46. What do we learn from the passage about reverse graffiti?A) It uses paint to create anti-pollution images.B) It creates a lot of trouble for local residents.C) It causes lots of distraction to drivers.D) It turns dirty walls into artistic works.47. What do reverse graffiti artists try to do?A) Publicise their artistic pursuit.B) Beautify the city environment.C)Raise public awareness of environmental pollution.D)Express their dissatisfaction with local governments.48. What do we learn about Brazilian artist Alexandre Orion?A) He was good at painting white skulls.B) He chose tunnels to do his graffiti art.C)He suggested banning all polluting cars.D)He was fond of doing creative artworks.49. What does the author imply about Leeds City Councils decision?A) It is simply absurd.B) It is well-informed.C) It is rather unexpected.D) It is quite sensible.50. How did Sao Paulo city officials handle Alexandre Orions reverse graffiti?A) They made him clean all the tunnels in Sao Paulo.B) They took drastic action to ban all reverse graffiti.C)They charged him with polluting tunnels in the city.D)They made it impossible for him to practice his art.答案：DBCBA 本题解析：暂无解析7. 问答题：Directions: For this part, you are allowed 30 minutes to write an essay on are people becoming addicted to technology. You should write at least 120 words but no more than 180 words.答案：【参考范文】Nowadays, we are witnessing a surge in technology in all aspects. Peoples views vary greatly on whether this trend are causing peoples addiction. In my point of view, being immersed in a sea of technology will definitely harm peoples life, even make them become addicted.For one thing, despite the fact that some technologies, are invented to help people, many of them are made to attract peoples attention and make profit. Unaware of this, one would easily get trapped in the world of technology, like computer technology, and lose himself. For another, since most of us are living in a highly digitalized society, few can escape from the influence of their friends and families who are already addicts to technology.All in all, without strict government restriction and proper guidance on computer technology, people are exposed to the risk of being addicted. It is also necessary for everyone to resist this temptation and maintain good self-discipline. 本题解析：【参考译文】如今，我们正目睹科技在各个方面的飞速发展。对于这种趋势是否会导致人们上瘾，人们的看法大相径庭。在我看来，沉浸在技术的海洋中肯定会伤害人们的生活，甚至使他们上瘾。一方面，尽管有些技术是为了帮助人们而发明的，但其中许多技术是为了吸引人们的注意力和盈利。没有意识到这一点，一个人很容易陷入科技、尤其是电脑科技的世界中，迷失自我。另一方面，由于我们大多数人生活在一个高度数字化的社会，很少有人能够摆脱他们已经沉迷于科技的朋友和家人的影响。总而言之，如果没有政府的严格限制和对于科技的适当指导，人们将面临上瘾的危险。每个人都必须抵制这种诱惑，保持良好的自律。8. 问答题：For this part, you are allowed 30 minutes to write a letter to a foreign friend who wants to learn Chinese.

The study was conducted at the State University of New York on behalf of Orb Media, a journalism organisation. About a million bottles are bought every minute, not only by thirsty tourists but also by many of the 2.1 billion worldwide who live with unsafe drinking water.Confronted with this _34_ , several bottled-water manufacturers including Nestle and Coca-Cola undertook their own studies using the same methodology. These studies showed that their water did contain microplastics, but far less than the Orb study suggested. Regardless, the World Health Organisation has launched a review into the _35_ health risks of drinking water from plastic bottles.A) adequateB) admiringC) containsD) defendingE) evidenceF) instantG) liquidH) modifiedI) naturalJ) potentialK) releasedL) revealingM) sealedN) solvesO) substance答案：26.B27.M28.I29.C30.K31.L32.O33.G34.E35.J 本题解析：暂无解析10. 问答题：鱼是春节前夕餐桌上不可或缺的一道菜，因为汉语中“鱼”字的发音与“余”字的发音相同。正由于这个象征性的意义，春节期间鱼也作为礼物送给亲戚朋友。鱼的象征意义据说源于中国传统文化。中国人有节省的传统，他们认为节省得愈多，就感到愈为安全。今天，尽管人们愈来愈富裕了，但他们仍然认为节省是一种值得弘扬的美德。答案：Fish is indispensable at the dining table on the eve of Spring Festival, since the pronunciation of fish and surplus are identical to each other in Chinese. With this symbolic meaning, fish is also given as a gift to relatives and friends during the Spring Festival. It is said that the symbolic meaning of fish originated from traditional Chinese culture. The Chinese people have a tradition of thrift, believing that the more they save, the securer they will feel. Nowadays, although people become richer, thrift is still regarded as a virtue worth promoting. 本题解析：1、鱼是春节前夕餐桌上不可或缺的一道菜，因为汉语中“鱼”字的发音与“余”字的发音相同。第一句包含两个小分句，后半句“因为”二字表明了两个分句的逻辑关系，可用“because”或“since”表示原因，从而顺势翻译两小句。词汇方面“前夕”、“不可或缺”和“余”可能对某些考生来说稍有难度，但若注重四级词汇的积累则不是难点。Fish is indispensable at the dining table on the eve of Spring Festival, since the pronunciation of fish and surplus are identical to each other in Chinese.2、正由于这个象征性的意义，春节期间鱼也作为礼物送给亲戚朋友。第二句包括两小分句，前一小句“正是由于”表明分句间前因后果的逻辑关系，可以用“It is for the reason that”句式，也可以用介词with表述;同时后一分句考察被动语态的用法。With this symbolic meaning, fish is also given as a gift to relatives and friends during the Spring Festival.3、鱼的象征意义据说源于中国传统文化。第三句“据说”可译为被动语态句型“It is said that”句式，“that”从句后接真正的主语。主语是“鱼的象征意义”，动词是“源于”，顺句翻译出来即可。词汇方面“源于”可译为originate from或derive from均可。It is said that the symbolic meaning of fish originated from traditional Chinese culture.4、中国人有节省的传统，他们认为节省得愈多，就感到愈为安全。第四句包含三小分句，但因主语皆为“中国人”，因此可以用“and”或者用现在分词的形式连接句子，化零为整。同时考察了“愈愈”的比较级句式表达;词汇方面“节省”可译为“frugality”或“thrift”均可。The Chinese people have a tradition of thrift, believing that the more they save, the securer they will feel.5、今天，尽管人们愈来愈富裕了，但他们仍然认为节省是一种值得弘扬的美德。第五句包含两小分句，“尽管”表明了句式的逻辑关系，考察了由“although”连接的让步状语从句的用法，后一分句可顺势翻译为人做主语的简单句，也可译为以“节省”为主语的被动句。Nowadays, although people become richer, thrift is still regarded as a virtue worth promoting.
