More than six million people visit the Louvre to see the Mona Lisa each year. The fame is almost entirely the result of a robbery that took place in 1911, when the Mona Lisa was taken from the Louvre by an Italian patriot. The thief was caught trying to sell the painting to the Uffizi Museum in Florence, and the Mona Lisa was returned to Paris in early 1914.Winged Victory of SamothraceRepresenting the Greek goddess of victory, Nike was found in hundreds of different pieces in 1863 on the Greek island of Samothrace before she was brought to the Louvre Museum. She was positioned as the sole figure on top of a staircase in the museum in 1863 where she has remained ever since. The athletic wear company of the same name used the goddess of victory as inspiration for the brand, and the Nike logo is taken from the shape of the top of her wings.Venus de MiloDiscovered in 1820 on the Greek island of Milo, the Venus de Milo was gifted to King Louis XⅧ, who donated it to the Louvre collection. Venus de Milo is thought to represent the Greek goddess Aphrodite, though her identity has never been proven. She is positioned to appear as if she is looking across the other Roman depictions of Venus that appear in the same hall at the Louvre Museum.Liberty Leading the PeoplePainted by Eugene Delacroix, this work depicts a woman, a symbol of the French Revolution known as Marianne, holding the tricolor revolutionary French flag that would later become the official flag of France, while standing above the bodies of fallen men. Delacroix created the painting to commemorate the July Revolution, which toppled King Charles X of France. In 1874, it was acquired by the Louvre Museum.What do we know about the painting Mona Lisa in the Louvre Museum?A．It was so famous as to almost fuel a crime in 1911.B．It was not kept in the Louvre Museum for several years.C．It was once displayed in the Uffizi Museum in Florence.D．It has attracted a total of six million people to the museum.Which of the following pieces is set in France?A．Mona Lisa.   B．Winged Victory of Samothrace.C．Venus de Milo.  D．Liberty Leading the People.What do the “Winged Victory of Samothrace” and “Venus de Milo” have in common?A．Both were gifts to French kings.B．Both were positioned as sole figures.C．Both inspired athletic wear designers.D．Both are connected with Greek beliefs.BRick Guidotti put aside his career as a fashion photographer to turn his lens to people living with genetic, physical and behavioral differences.He says what changed his perception of beauty was a chance encounter with an albino (患白化病的) girl. “I was just tired of people telling me who was beautiful. Every season that face would change but I was always told who was beautiful. As an artist, I don’t see beauty just on covers of magazines. I see it everywhere. So that was my original intention—that opened my eyes a little wider and wider.”Guidotti has created Positive Exposure  a not-for-profit organization that uses photography and video to transform public perceptions and promote a world where differences are celebrated. Guidotti and Positive Exposure are featured in a new documentary called On Beauty.One of the women featured in the film is Jayne Waithera. “I never thought I was beautiful because nobody said that to me, but meeting him was my profound moment. I remember that particular day. He took my picture and I felt so good like I felt there’s somebody who, like, really loves me and sees me for who I am and who sees me more than my condition.”Guidotti is traveling from city to city to promote On Beauty. He says his tour is not about money; it’s about the message. “As I travel from community to community, I’m taking photographs and I’m empowering individuals with a positive sense of who they are. They’re seeing beauty in their reflection but I’m also empowering their families and they in turn are empowering their communities as well. All is based on the philosophy of change—how you see, how you change.”Why did Guidotti change his career?A. Because he wanted to create his own company.B. Because the beauty on covers of magazines is not beautiful.C. Because he couldn’t earn enough money from his former career.D. Because his comprehension of beauty changed owing to an albino girl.What can we know about Positive Exposure?A. It makes the public more beautiful.B. It brings a lot of money for Guidotti. C. It welcomes differences in the world.D. It makes photography more popular.What does the author want to tell us by mentioning Jayne in Paragraph 4?A. Jayne was beautiful indeed.B. Jayne’s picture was more beautiful than herself.C. Photos gave Jayne a positive sense of who she was.D. It was unfair that nobody discovered Jayne’s beauty.What does the author mainly intend to tell us in the last paragraph?A. We should travel around more frequently.B. We should make contributions to our communityC. .Communities have a great influence on everyone.D. Your attitude to seeing the world decides your behavior.C“Regrets, I’ve had a few. But then again, too few to mention,” Frank Sinatra chanted in his 1969 hit “My Way”. The song’s idea is attractive: that anyone can just declare what’s done is done and move on. Some take the declaration a step further and claim they have no regrets at all. Whether a boast or an actual attitude, “no regrets” suggests that life can and should be lived without looking through the rear-view mirror.Easier said than done, though. In 2020, author Daniel H. Pink launched the World Regret Survey, the largest ever survey on the topic. With his research team, Pink asked more than 15,000 people in 105 countries, “How often do you look back on your life and wish you had done things differently?” 82% said regret is at least an occasional part of their life; roughly 21% said they feel regret “al1 the time.” Only 1% said they never feel regret.If you are of the “no regrets” type, you might think that all this regret is a recipe for unhappiness. But that isn’t the case. True, being overwhelmed by regret is indeed bad for you. But going to the other extreme may be even worse. To rid yourself of regrets doesn’t free you from shame or sorrow; it leads you to make the same mistakes again and again. To truly get over our guilt requires that we put regret in its proper place.As uncomfortable as it is, regret is an amazing cognitive (认知) achievement. If today your relationship with your partner has soured, your regret might mentally take you back to last year. You would remember your being mean and sensitive, and then imagine yourself showing more patience, being kind instead of hurtful at key moments. Then you would fast-forward to today and see how your relationship could be progressing instead of languishing.But regret doesn’t have to be left unmanaged. The trick is to acknowledge it and use it for learning and improvement. You can be honest with yourself about what went wrong and use that knowledge to enjoy better relationships in the future.What should we do if we have had a bitter quarrel with a close friend according to Frank Sinatra?A．Forget about it and just let it go.B．Send him/her a letter of apology.C．Boast about being more reasonable.D．Attract more people to your argument.Which of the following statements about regret may the writer agree with?A．We can do nothing about regret.B．Unhappiness results from regret.C．Ignoring regrets is missing the opportunity to improve.D．Ridding yourself of regrets helps free you from sorrow.What does the underlined word “languishing” in paragraph 4 most probably mean?A．Improving.          B．Healing.C．Showing up.         D．Breaking up.What might be a suitable title for the text?A．Regret? Not my way!     B．Regret to become smarter-if you let it.C．Stay away! Regret will heal itself.  D．Long for a different past? Regret it!DAntioxidants（抗氧化剂）are found naturally in plants like blueberries，blackberries，and red cabbage. Scientists believe antioxidants may help prevent heart disease and help fight against diseases like diabetes. But tomatoes naturally only have a small amount of antioxidants in them.British scientist Cathie Martin wanted to see if she could create tomatoes with lots of antioxidants by changing the DNA of a tomato plant.A plant developed from specially created DNA is known as a GMO,or “genetically modified organism". For hundreds of years, farmers have created new kinds of plants by mixing existing plants together using natural methods. GMO plants are different because the plants' DNA has been changed by scientists. Scientists who do this usually think they're improving the plants in some way.After working on developing purple tomatoes for years, Dr. Martin's experiment worked. Soon her plants were producing small purple tomatoes. Though the color is unusual,what's really special about the tomatoes is that they have very high levels of antioxidants. Even better,the tomatoes remained fresh almost twice as long as normal tomatoes. Soon, Dr. Martin and other scientists created a company to promote the tomatoes.The company tested its tomatoes on mice that were likely to get cancer. The mice who were fed the purple tomatoes lived about 30% longer than the mice who were fed normal tomatoes. Though that's good news, experiments on mice don't always predict what effects on humans will be like.And GMO products weren't popular with customers. Many people were scared by the idea that the foods weren't “natural”. There are still questions about the effects of GMO crops on the environment and other plants, but most scientists agree that food from GMO crops is safe to eat.On September 7,the government approved a GMO plant designed to target human health. Dr. Martin and her company plan to introduce the tomatoes at farmers' markets across the US in 2023. They also hope to sell the seeds to people who want to grow their own.What is the function of paragraph 1?A. To define a concept.    B. To bring in the topic of the text.C. To add background information.  D. To introduce the benefits of antioxidants.What makes purple tomatoes really special?A. Their medical value.    B. Their delicious flavor.C. Their proper size.     D. Their pleasant color.Why are GMO foods refused by people?A. They are expensive to buy.   B. They are thought to be harmful.C. They are intended for animals.  D. Their appearance isn't appealing.What is the government's attitude towards GMO crops?A. Opposed.     B. Unclear.    C. Positive.    D. Concerned第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分）根据短文内容，从短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。Are you sitting more than ever?   36   You’re probably sitting while reading this. Sometimes you sit when you are driving or attending a meeting. Other times you sit when you engage yourself in watching a movie or playing computer games. That’s undoubtedly a lot of sitting. The fact is, the amount of time spent sitting has increased over time.   37   We know sitting too much is bad, and most of us naturally feel a little guilty after a long-time TV watching.   38    A study on nearly 8,000 adults suggests that there’s a direct relationship between the time spent sitting and our risk of early death of any cause. As the total sitting time increases, so does the risk of early death.“Sit less, move more” is what the Heart Association encourages us to do.   39    It is like telling someone to just ”exercise“ without telling them how. Exercise guidelines are always more practical. For example, the Center for Disease Control recommends adults do exercise for two hours and 30 minutes every week, plus muscle strengthening activities two or more days a week. We need similar guidelines for sitting.   40    “It would probably be like, for every 30 continuous minutes of sitting, stand up and move or walk for five minutes at a quick pace,” Diaz, the lead researcher said, adding that the study has put us a step closer to the satisfying guidelines. But more researches are needed to confirm their approach.A．Now it’s time to get up and move around.B．Take a moment to think about your sitting activities.C．Health experts also suggest exercising on a daily basis.D．But this guideline is just too simple and abstract to make a difference.E．As of today, average adult will spend 56-86% of their daily time sitting.F．But what exactly goes wrong when we park ourselves for nearly eight hours per day?G．To make up for the weakness, a research team is working on a more specific guideline.第三部分  语言运用（共两节，满分30分）第一节 （共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分）阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。I met Mrs. Sase my senior year in high school.

Our house is neither large nor luxurious, but it has a fairly big garden. My father loves his garden. He planted some seeds in it and took good care of the plants, watering them, applying fertilizer, weeding and getting rid of bugs. He was never tired of doing all that stuff. But at that time, I didn’t understand why working in the dirt excited him so much.Unfortunately, in the summer vacation before senior high school, my father was seriously injured in an accident. He had to stay in bed for a while. My mother had several business trips, so she couldn’t take care of the garden. I didn’t want my father to worry. I said that I would take care of his garden until he recovered. I assumed that the little plants would continue to grow as long as they had water, and luckily it rained fairly often, so I didn’t think much about the garden.One Saturday morning, my father said to me, “Christine, the vegetables should be about ready to be picked. Let’s have a salad today!” I went out to the garden and was upset to see that many of the lettuce (生菜) leaves and carrots had been half eaten by bugs. There were hundreds of bugs all over them!I panicked for a moment but then I quietly went to the nearest supermarket to buy some vegetables. When I was making the salad, my mother came home and saw the bag from the supermarket in the kitchen. I was embarrassed and admitted, “Dad would like a salad, but the garden is a disaster. I don’t want to disappoint him, so I went to the store and bought some vegetables.” My mother smiled, saying, “Honey, you know what is the right thing to do.”注意：1. 写作词数应为150左右; 2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Paragraph 1:My father seemed very pleased when I took the salad to him.                                                                                           __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________Paragraph 2:Feeling guilty, I decided to do the right thing.                                                                                                    __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
