The Pompidou Centre in Paris is showing its respect and admiration for the artist and his powerful personality with an exhibition bringing together over 200 paintings，sculptures，drawings and more. Among the works and masterworks on exhibition the visitor will find the best pieces，most importantly The Persistence of Memory. There is also LEnigme sans Fin from 1938，works on paper，objects，and projects for stage and screen and selected parts from television programmes reflecting the artists showman qualities.The visitor will enter the World of Dali through an egg and is met with the beginning，the world of birth. The exhibition follows a path of time and subject with the visitor exiting through the brain.The exhibition shows how Dali draws the viewer between two infinities(无限)”From the infinity small to the infinity large，contraction and expansion ing in and out of focus：amazing Flemish accuracy and the showy Baroque of old painting that he used in his theatremuseum in Figueras，”explains the Pompidou Centre.The fine selection of the major works was done in close collaboration(合作) with the Museo Nacional Reina Sofia in Madrid，Spain，and with contributions from other institutions like the Salvador Dali Museum in St.Petersburg，Florida.21.Which of the following best describes Dali according to Paragraph 1?A Optimistic. B Productive. C Generous. D Traditional.22.What is Dalis The Persistence of Memory considered to be?A One of his masterworks. B A successful screen adaptation.C An artistic creation for the stage. D One of the best TV programmes.23.How are the exhibits arranged at the World of Dali?A By popularity. B By importance.C By size and shape. D By time and subject.24.What does the word “contributions” in the last paragraph refer to?A Artworks. B Projects. C Donations. D Documents.BNo one is sure how the ancient Egyptians（埃及人） built the Pyramids（金字塔） near Cairo. But a new study suggests they used a little rock n roll. Long-ago builders could have attached wooden poles to the stones and rolled them across the sand，the scientists say.“Technically，I think what theyre proposing is possible，” physicist Daniel Bonn said.People have long puzzled over how the Egyptians moved such huge rocks. And theres no obvious answer. On average，each of the two million big stones weighed about as much as a large pickup truck. The Egyptians somehow moved the stone blocks to the pyramid site from about one kilometer away.The most popular view is that Egyptian workers slid the blocks along smooth paths. Many scientists suspect workers first would have put the blocks on sleds(滑板)Then they would have dragged them along paths. To make the work easier，workers may have lubricated the paths either with wet clay or with the fat from cattle. Bonn has now tested this idea by building small sleds and dragging heavy objects over sand.Evidence from the sand supports this idea. Researchers found small amounts of fat，as well as a large amount of stone and the remains of paths.However，physicist Joseph West thinks there might have been a simpler way，who led the new study. West said, “I was inspired while watching a television program showing how sleds might have helped with pyramid construction. I thought，Why dont they just try rolling the things？” A square could be turned into a rough sort of wheel by attaching wooden poles to its sides，he realized. That，he notes, should make a block of stone “a lot easier to roll than a square”So he tried it.He and his students tied some poles to each of four sides of a 30kilogram stone block. That action turned the block into somewhat a wheel. Then they placed the block on the ground.They wrapped one end of a rope around the block and pulled. The researchers found they could easily roll the block along different kinds of paths. They calculated that rolling the block required about as much force as moving it along a slippery(滑的) path.West hasnt tested his idea on larger blocks，but he thinks rolling has clear advantages over sliding. At least，workers wouldnt have needed to carry cattle fat or water to smooth the paths.25.Its widely believed that the stone blocks were moved to the pyramid site by _.A rolling them on roads B pushing them over the sandC sliding them on smooth paths D dragging them on some poles26.What does the underlined word “it” in Paragraph 7 refer to?A Rolling the blocks with poles attached. B Rolling the blocks on wooden wheels.C Rolling poles to move the blocks. D Rolling the blocks with fat.27.Why is rolling better than sliding according to West?A Because more force is needed for sliding.B Because rolling work can be done by fewer cattle.C Because sliding on smooth roads is more dangerous.D Because less preparation on paths is needed for rolling.28. What is the text mainly about?A An experiment on ways of moving blocks to the pyramid site.B An application of the method of moving blocks to the pyramid site.C An argument about different methods of moving blocks to the pyramid site.D An introduction to a possible new way of moving blocks to the pyramid site.CWhen the dog named Judy spotted the first sheep in her life，she did what es naturally. The fouryearold dog set off racing after the sheep across several fields and，being a city animal，lost both her sheep and her sense of direction. Then she ran along the edge of a cliff(悬崖) and fell 100 feet，bouncing off a rock into the sea.Her owner Mike Holden panicked and called the coastguard（海警） of Cornwall，who turned up in seconds. Six volunteers slid down the cliff with the help of a rope but gave up all hope of finding her alive after a 90minute search.Three days later，a hurricane hit the coast near Cornwall. Mr. Holden returned home from his holiday upset and convinced his pet was dead. He forted himself with the thought she had died in the most beautiful part of the country.For the next two weeks，the Holdens were heartbroken. Then，one day，the phone rang and Steve Tregear，the coastguard of Cornwall，asked Holden if he would like his dog back.A birdwatcher，armed with a telescope，found the pet sitting desperately on a rock. While he sounded the alarm，a student from Leeds climbed down the cliff to collect Judy.The dog had initially been knocked unconscious(失去知觉的) but had survived by drinking water from a fresh stream at the base of the cliff. She may have fed on the body of a sheep which had also fallen over the edge.” The dog was very thin and hungry，” Steve Tregear said.” It was a very lucky dog. She survived because of a plentiful supply of fresh water，” he added.“It was”，as Mr. Holden admitted，“a minor miracle(奇迹)”29.The dog Judy fell down the cliff when she was _.A rescuing her owner B caught in a hurricaneC blocked by a rock D running after a sheep30.Who spotted Judy after the accident?A A birdwatcher. B A student from Leeds.C Six volunteers. D The coastguard of Cornwall.31.What can we infer from the text?APeople like to travel with their pets.B Judy was taken to the fields for hunting.C Luck plays a vital role in Judys survival.D Holden cared little where Judy was buried.32.Which of the following can be the best title for the text?A Miracle of the Coastguard B Surviving a HurricaneC Dangers in the Wild D ing Back from the DeadDFood serves as a form of munication in two fundamental ways.

Why? Experts say it may have to do with how our brains work.The reason why any of us take any risks at all might have to do with early humans. Risktakers were better at hunting，fighting，or exploring. 37 As the quality of risktaking was passed from one generation to the next，humans ended up with a sense of adventure and a tolerance for risk.So why arent we all jumping out of airplanes then? Well，even 200,000 years ago，too much risktaking could get one killed. A few daring survived，though，along with a few stayinthecave types. As a result，humans developed a range of character types that still exists today. So maybe you love car racing，or maybe you hate it. 38 No matter where you are on the riskseeking range，scientists say that your willingness to take risks increases during your teenage years. 39 To help you do that，your brain increases your hunger for new experiences. New experiences often mean taking some risks，so your brain raises your tolerance for risk as well.40 For the riskseekers，a part of the brain related to pleasure bees active，while for the rest of us，a part of the brain related to fear bees active.As experts continue to study the science of riskseeking，well continue to hit the mountains，the waves or the shallow end of the pool.AIt all depends on your character.BThose are the risks you should jump to take.CBeing better at those things meant a greater chance of survival.DThus，these wellequipped people survived because they were the fittest.EThis is when you start to move away from your family and into the bigger world.FHowever，we are not all using the same reference standard to weigh risks and rewards.GNew brain research suggests our brains work differently when we face a nervous situation.第三部分 英语知识运用（共两节，满分45分） 第一节 完形填空（共20小题；每小题1.5分，满分30分） 阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的四个选项（A、B、C 和 D）中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。 I gave up smoking on April 1,xx.I wanted to 41 for many reasons，but there are two most urgent reasons.
