The start of the Renaissance also was the end of the Middle Ages.HumanismIn the Middle Ages people thought that life was nothing but hard work and war. However, around the 1300s, the people in Florence, Italy started to think that people should be educated and that things like art, music, and science could make life better for everyone.Florence, ItalyAt the start of the Renaissance, Italy was divided up into a number of powerful city-states. One of the major city-states was Florence. In the late 1300s, Florence had bee a rich city. Wealthy businessmen had the money to hire artisans. This inspired petitions among artists and thinkers. Art began to flourish and new thoughts began to appear.Petrarch and HumanismFrancesco Petrarch is often called the “Father of Humanism”. He studied poets and philosophers from Ancient Rome such as Cicero and Virgil. His ideas and poetry became an inspiration to many writers and poets throughout all of Europe as the Renaissance spread.Giotto di BondoneGiotto was a painter in Florence, Italy. He was the first painter to break away from the standard Byzantine style painting of the Middle Ages and try something new. Giotto is said to have started the Renaissance in art with his new style of realistic painting.DanteAnother major contributor to the start of the Renaissance was Dante Alighieri. He lived in Florence and wrote the Divine edy in the early 1300s. This book is considered to be the greatest literary work ever written in the Italian language.New Ideas SpreadThis new way of thinking and style of art quickly spread to other wealthy Italian city-states. This early part of the Renaissance is often called the Italian Renaissance. Italy would bee wealthy through trade and their new ideas soon spread throughout all of Europe.24.In the Middle Ages people thought that .A. life was really hardB. life could be enjoyableC. they could be educatedD. they should live differently25.Which of the following was the first Renaissance painter?A.

The artists in the RenaissanceD. Literature in the Renaissance27.The text is most probably taken from .A. a book reviewB. a history paperC. a newspaper adD. a travel magazineCDarwins frogs are a family of small frogs found on the southwest coast of South America. They were named after Charles Darwin, who happened to see one of the two species in 1834. These creatures usually reach a size of only 3 cm in length. They are mostly green frogs, and have long, narrow noses. When threatened, they roll over and play dead until the danger has passed, looking like dead leaves.Darwins frogs are the only known species of frogs where males can get“pregnant”. They swallow their babies into their vocal sacs, protecting them from enemies until they have bee fully grown. But nothing can protect them from a deadly fungus, which has helped push one of the two species of these frogs to probable extinction, and driven a decline in the second variety, new research shows.Researchers looked at museum specimens of both species and found that the fungus started showing up in these and other frogs in the 1970s, about when populations of both began to decline, according to a study published in the journal PLOS ONE. One of the species, the northern Darwins frog, hasnt been seen since 1980 and is likely extinct.“The fungus is probably the main reason for the frogs disappearance,” said Marcus Rowcliffe, a researcher at the Zoological Society of London.The southern Darwins frog is still around, but has declined faster than previously thought in recent years. The researchers found that a small percentage of them were infected with the fungus, although at lower rates than other species. This could mean that the fungus more easily kills them. They also found that populations of Darwins frogs were lower in areas with higher rates of fungal infection. In xx,30 wild southern Darwins frogs were caught to be raised in Germany, but all of them died from the fungus. The International Union for Conservation of Nature, an environmental group, called the fungus the worst infectious disease ever recorded among animals with backbones.28.Darwins frogs are unusual because .A. both females and males can get pregnantB. they eat their own babies when in dangerC. male frogs help raise the young in their mouths D. they are the only animals infected with the fungus29. According to the text, the northern Darwins frog .A. suffered greatly from a fungusB. is likely to survive the infectionC. has already disappeared from the earthD. began to decline in the early 20th century30.The main purpose of the text is to .A. ask more people to protect Darwins frogsB. introduce the characteristics of Darwins frogsC. show the spread of a fungus and its influenceD. give an analysis of the decline of Darwins frogsDIts illegal for the police to attach a GPS unit to your car without your permission, as the U.S. Supreme Court settled in xx. But if the police are in hot pursuit of a bank robber or other escaping criminals that threaten public safety, a GPS tracker is acceptable. But exactly how can the police GPS track a car that is moving fast?The answer to that question es from StarChase, a new police technology being used by a small-but-growing number of law enforcement agencies. It allows the police to fire 4.5-inch glue-covered GPS bullet-like projectiles form an airgun fixed in their police cars. If the GPS tracker makes contact with the escaping robbers car, itll stick no matter how fast the vehicle is going. That way, the police will have a constant read on the cars location and heading.Aside from simply apprehending criminals, its believed this new technology could help save lives. If the police successfully fire a GPS unit at a speeding criminal, they can pull back from a high-risk chase. Chases can be incredibly dangerous to all involved, including innocent bystanders and other drivers. Once the GPS bullet connects, theres no need for the chase any longer.Now, predictably, a GPS-loaded gun isnt cheap. Police departments need to pay about $5,000 per vehicle for the technology, and individual GPS bullets cost as much as $250 each. That may sound expensive, but remember: The alternative is often thousands of dollars in property damage, and great human cost in injury and lost life. According to StarChase, their GPS bullet system has an apprehension rate of 80% without any report of injury or property damage.If youd like to learn more about the StarChase system, Popular Mechanics has just published a good article about it. Theres also plenty more information available at the panys website.31.When the GPS bullet sticks to the escaping robbers car, the police can .A. know the cars condition B. ensure the robbers safety C. play a fair game with the robberD. know the cars position and direction 32.The GPS bullets could help save lives mainly because .A. the bullets wont hurt people B. they can make the robbers car stop C. the police can stop the dangerous chasing D. they have more advantages than normal bullets33.From the text we can learn that GPS bullets .A. are useful for the police B. are widely used in America C. can control the rising crime rateD. can replace the police in the future 34.What would be the best title for the text?A. How to use GPS bullets B. It is legal to use GPS trackers C. GPS bullets are too expensive D. GPS bullets could end car chases for good 35.In which part of a newspaper can we read the text?A. LifeB. NatureC. FashionD. Technology第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。Sometimes willpower is a lot like the television remote control hard to find just when you want it most. 36 But there are ways to increase your willpower.Dont try to change your economic situation , win a promotion and lose weight all on the same morning.

A new review of the 43 of volunteering found that helping others on a regular basis can reduce early mortality rates by 22%, pared to those in people who dont 44 such activities. The review also showed that volunteers benefit from 45 rates of depression and an increased sense of life 46 . “Our review shows that volunteering is associated with improvements in 47 ” lead author Dr. Suzanne Richards said in a statement.But dont 48 to gain the benefits of longer lives after putting a few coins in the next charity collection you meet with .It takes 49 devotion of time and effort .In the research, participants volunteered at least an hour of work once a month.Helping others probably benefits health by increasing social contact and reducing 50 .Socializing with friends and familywhich volunteer work 51 reduces dementia risk.But taken to extremes, 52 being selfless is not necessarily a good thing. The authors found some studies that suggested people who devoted their energies in order to 53 family members could bee less healthy both emotionally and physically, since they are frequently 54 with so many responsibilities. The same can be 55 for other types of volunteering, if the activities start to bee a burden rather than a 56 .“There may be a fine line between volunteering enough to 57 mental health benefits（up to 10 hours a month） and spending too much time volunteering,”the authors write.“ 58 volunteering bees a burden, this may lead to burnout.”They also note that more work is 59 to understand whether volunteering actually improves health and leads to longer lives; it may be that volunteers are generally more 60 and socially involved, and therefore healthier to begin with.41.
