The Singaporean artists work is so 37 that if he makes a single mistake he starts all over again.

Inspired by line-art drawings, we thought we could 42 precision and control in a simple idea that involved only one single line.” He 43 putting together the impressive drawings to a spider spinning a web. Mr Hwee Chong added, “It wasnt as easy as we thought. We went through many rounds of 44 and error, painstaking drawing the masterpieces in one 45 line, by hand. As you can imagine, every mistake meant we need to start from the very 46 . This project not only involved skill 47 lots of resilience and patience, much 48 a spider spinning its web.”The Singaporean is an art director at German 49 studio Kolle Robbe in Hamburg. In his spare time he works 50 installation art and on graphic design. “At work, I deal 51 with art direction and ideas.

The sites 12th annual top-100 survey finds Sophia and Aiden (with various spellings) most popular again in 2011. New in the top 10 are Mason and Liam for boys and Emily for girls. The Social Security Administration releases its list every May, based on applications for Social Security cards for births in a particular year. Other parenting sites develop similar lists; Parenting just released its top-searched list, led by Jacob and Isabella, the site says.New trends this year include naming kids after children of celebrities; names from nature (Summer or Clover for girls, Rain or River for boys); and names with a Spanish influence, such as Xavier or Valentina, says BabyCenter editor in chief Linda Murray.Though not in the top 10, other popular names include Harper (daughter of soccer star David Beckham and singer wife Victoria) and both Anderson and Cooper (CNNs Anderson Cooper). Heather Damron, 30, of Huntington, W.Va., says name choices for her 4-year-old son were heavily influenced by pop culture. Griffin Leland Grant Damron is named for Griffin, son of her favorite singer, Chris Daughtry (American Idol), and griffins in Harry Potter. Lindsey Brook of Silver Spring, Md., loved the name Harper until the Beckhams used it. She and husband Ryan Brook, 29, named their 12-week-old son Asher Ellison Brook. Choices are tough: Some names remind you of someone annoying in high school. You cant lose that association no matter how much you like the name.Mandi and Lanson Oukrop, 29 and 32, of Richland, Wash., named their 1-year-old Ryder Hall Oukrop; she says they wanted to make sure it was something he could put on a rsum. Theyre expecting another baby in June.Many parents feel this big pressure to make the right choice, says Kirsten Larsen, 37, of Mount Rainier, Md.

This is exciting. Yet, on the other hand, petition breeze a pragmatic（实用主义） attitude. People choose to learn things that are useful, and do things that are profitable. Todays college education is also affected by this general sense of utilitarianism.（功利主义）Many college students choose business nor puting programming as their majors convinced that this professions are where the big money is. It is not unusual to see the college students taking a part time jobs as a warming up for the real battle. I often see my friends taking GRE tests, working on English or puter certificates and taking the driving licence to get a licence. Well, I have nothing against being practical. As the petition in the job market gets more and more intense, students do have reasons to be practical. However, we should never forget that college education is much more than skill training. Just imagine, if your utilitarianism is prevails on campus, living no space for the cultivation（培养） of students minds, or nurturing of their soul. We will see university is training out well trained spiritless working machines. If utilitarianism prevails society, we will see people bond by mind-forged medicals lost in the money-making ventures; we will see humality lossing their grace and dignity, and that would be disastrous. Id like to think society as a courage and people persumed for profit or fame as a horese that pulls the courage. Yet without the driver picking direction the courage would go straight and may even end out in a precarious situation.A certificate may give you some advantage, but broad horizons, positive attitudes and personal integrities（正直）,these are assets you cannot acquire through any quick fixed way. In todays world, whether highest level of petition is not of skills or expertise（专业）, but vision and strategy. Your intellectual quality largely determinds how far you can go in your career.63The authors autinuade toward todays college education is .ApositiveBcautiousCcriticalDdoubtful64Many college students choose to major in business because .Aa businessman is very likely to make big moneyBstudying business is less petitiveCtoo many students have chosen puting programming Dputing programming is not a must for them65The author does strongly suggest that .Amore petition be encouraged on college campusBpeople not ignore the value of broad horizons, positive attitude and personal integritiesCintellectual quality determine how far one can go in his careerDcollege students get as many part time jobs as possible66In the authors opinion, .Acollege students are not pragmatic enoughBcollege students should have drivers pick direction for themCcollege education should provide students more business coursesDcollege education should value the cultivation of students mindsDOnce when I was six years old I saw an amazing picture in a book called True Stories from Naturc about the primeval forest. It was a picture of a boa constriotor（大蟒蛇）in the act of swallowing an arimal. In the book it said: Boa constrictors swallow their prey whole, without chewing it. After that they are not able to move, and they sleep through the six months that they need for digestion.I thought deeply then over the adventures of the jungle. And after some work with a colored pencil I succeeded in making my first drawing. My Drawing Number One. I showed my masterpiece to the grown-ups, and asked them whether the drawing frightened them. But they answered: Frighten? Why should any one be frightened by a hat?My drawing was not a picture of a hat. It was a picture of a boa constrictor digesting an elephant. But since the grown-ups were not able to understand it, I made another drawing: I drew the inside of a boa constrictor, so that the grown-ups could see it clearly. They always need to have things explained. Thats my Drawing Number Two.The grown-ups response, this time, was to advise me to lay aside my drawings of boa constrictors, whether from the inside or the outside, and devote myself instead to geography, history, arithmetic, and grammar. That is why, at the age of six, I gave up what might have been a great painter. I had been disheartened by the failure of my Drawing Number One and my Drawing Number Two. Grown-ups never understand anything by themselves, and it is tiresome for children to be always and forever explaining things to them.So then I chose another profession, and learned to pilot airplanes. I have flown a little over all parts of the world; and it is true that geography has been very useful to me. At a glance I can distinguish China from Arizona. If one gets lost in the night, such knowledge is valuable.In the course of this life I have had a great many encounters with a great many people. And that hasnt much improved my opinion of them. Whenever I met one of them who seemed to me at all clear-sighted, I tried showing him my Drawing Number One, which I have always kept. I would try to find out if this was a person of true understanding. But, whoever it was, he, or she would always say: That is a hat. Then I would never talk to that person about boa constrictors, or primeval forests, or stars. I would bring myself down to his level. I would talk to him about bridge, and golf, and politics and neckties. And the grown-up would be greatly pleased to have met such an intelligent man.67The writer drew his first picture in order to .Ashow the grown-ups what the book was aboutBfrighten the grown-ups trying to enter the forestCremind himself of the adventures of the jungleDillustrate a boa constrictor act of digesting an animal68How did the writer understand the grown-ups response to his second drawing?AHe was actually only good at academic study.BIt was a waste of time for him to keep on drawing.CHe has difficulty in municating with the adults.DHe was good at anything but geography.69The underlined word disheartened in Paragraph 4 could most probably be replaced by .AdiscouragedBdissatisfiedCdiscriminatedDdisturbed70Which of the following statements is true?AThe writer could have bee a pilot if encouraged when young.BThe writer finally changed his opinion of grown-ups.CThe writer has been showing his two pictures to others ever since.DThe writer felt nobody could have really understood him.第四部分：任务型阅读（共10小题；每小题1分，满分10分）请认真阅读下列短文，并根据所读内容在文章后表格中的空格里填入一个最恰当的单词。注意：请将答案写在答题卡上相应题号的横线上。每个空格只填1个单词。A judge in Los Angeles has sentenced Michael Jacksons personal physician to four years in prison for the xx death of the pop superstar.Los Angeles Superior Court Judge Michael Pastor Tuesday handed the sentence to Dr. Conrad Murray, who was convicted earlier this month of involuntary manslaughter(过失杀人) in Jacksons death. Murray, however, could serve only half his sentence due to overcrowding in Californias prison system.In issuing the sentence, the judge described Murray as a reckless physician whose actions were a disgrace to the medical profession. Pastor also said Murray was involved in horrible medicine that included a sophisticated scheme to get the powerful anesthetic, propofol, for Jackson. Pastor said Murray lied repeatedly and had not shown remorse for his actions in the treatment of Jackson, who battled insomnia（失眠证）.Prosecutors(原告) said Murray gave Jackson propofol, which is not approved for use as a sleep aid, and then abandoned the entertainer while he, Murray, attended to personal matters. They said the doctor put off calling for emergency help after finding Jackson unresponsive. They also said Jackson put his trust in Murray and paid for it with his life.Murrays lawyers argued Jackson gave himself the fatal dosage without the doctors knowledge. They said there is no proof the doctor did anything wrong. Murray did not take the stand in his defense.Jackson died in his bedroom at his rented mansion in June xx. Prior to his death, he had been planning a series of eback concerts.Apart from the criminal trial, Jacksons father has filed a wrongful death suit, accusing Murray of lying to the doctors and paramedics who tried to save the singers life.Additionally, a hearing is set for January on a prosecution proposal that Murray pay more than $100 million in restitution to Jacksons family.Michael Jacksons Doctor (71)_ to 4 Years in Prison(72)_ against Conrad MurrayJudge:Being an irresponsible physician whose actions were (73)_Being involved in “horrible medicines”(74)_ a plicated schemeLying repeatedly and showing no (75)_ for JacksonProsecutors: Giving Jackson propofol, which is (76)_ as a sleep aid(77)_ calling for emergency helpJacksons father: Lying to doctors and nurses(78)_ of Murrays lawyersMurrays not (79)_ that Jackson gave himself the fatal dosageThere being no proof that Murray did anything wrongMurrays responseNot taking the stand in (80)_ of himself
