Cimabue,the greatest painter in medieval Italy, was surprised when he discovered that a fly had landed on one of his works.“Shoo!”he shouted, but it remained still. Finally, he reached out to touch the insect. To his surprise, he found only wet paint. Actually Giotto had painted the fly when Cimabue was away,and it looked so real that Cimabue had been completely fooled.

Giotto di Bondone was born in a poor farming family. Legend has it that while he was tending goats he drew a picture on a rock and that the artist Cimabue,who happened to be passing by, saw him at work and was so impressed with the boy's talent that he took him into his studio as an apprentice（学徒）.

In the Middle Ages,an apprentice's job was to copy his master as exactly as he could, which resulted in a distinct lack of new ideas. In fact,art in the Middle Ages seemed to have been stuck in a rut. The people in paintings didn't look like real people,and the symbolism of art was often so remote that it must have been difficult for viewers to connect with it on a personal level. But Giotto thought art could be something more.

To accomplish this goal, Giotto adopted many techniques that were uncommon at the time. He painted people the way he saw them,instead of the overly tall and boxy people that other artists painted. He created three-dimensional space by using perspective, something that had not been done since Roman times. Finally, he threw out parts of the symbolism associated with medieval painting. For example, at that time the Christ Child was usually drawn as a mature man who was only a baby in size. This symbolized that Christ was wise even though he was young. Instead,Giotto painted the Christ Child as a baby,which emphasized the human relationship between the child and his mother.

The ideas Giotto brought to painting throughout his life revolutionized the art world and made him one of the greatest painters ever.

24.Why does the author mention the fly event in paragraph 1?

A. To prove the pupil outdoes the master.

B. To stress the fly was vividly painted.

C. To relate how Cimabue was tricked.

D. To demonstrate art has no limits.

25.Why did Cimabue decide to instruct Giotto?

A. Giotto would be a helpful assistant.

B. Cimabue desired to rid Giotto of poverty.

C. Giotto badly needed Cimabue's guidance.

D. Cimabue sensed a great potential in Giotto.

26. What can we learn about art in the Middle Ages in paragraph 3?

A. It lacked innovation.                B. It highlighted realism.

C. It bonded well with viewers.          D. It underwent great changes.

27.Why did Giotto paint the Christ Child as a baby?

A. To portray people in a realistic way.

B. To try the technique of perspective.

3. To distinguish himself from other painters.
4. D. To bring a sense of symbolism to his painting-

C

Winemakers in the Rioja area in northern Spain make some of the best wine in the world. But in recent years,winemakers there have been having difficulty producing good wine. They say when the temperature was cooler, the wine tasted better, but it was 2.2 degrees Celsius higher than average in 2022. Now,a genetic research has shown that grape vines living for more than 35 years are better able to deal with high temperatures brought by climate change.

Researchers like Pablo Carbonell think older grape vines may be able to grow better in higher temperatures. Carbonell looks at rows of gray shapes on his computer screen. Among them was a green rectangle,which represents a kind of grape vine that produces grapes that take longer to ripen,even in warmer conditions.A longer ripeness period is what winemakers want. The current vines produce grapes that are ready to pick too early. Such grapes do not make wine that has the right color and smell and has too much alcohol.

People who work in the vineyards have long crossed old vines with new ones. Now they are working with special laboratories to find a climate-resistant vine. One of them is the Vine and Wine Research Institute,known as the ICVV in Spain. The lab is working to keep the Spanish wine making industry alive as temperatures rise. The scientists there are studying the genomes（基因组）of commonly used grapes in wine and looking for traits，or qualities，that might permit the vines to survive in a warmer climate instead of looking for mutation（变异）that causes diseases.

In addition to the genetic research,scientists are also working on different planting methods.A winery called RODA is planting vines in a curve instead of a straight line. The hope is that plants will soak up more water this way. The new vineyard is made up of vines that were over 100 years old and moved from another place.

Maria Santolaya is an agricultural engineer and part of RODA's technical team. She said the hot weather was very problematic. But,"our biggest concern,"she added,"is what will happen in 20 or 30 years. We don't really know how things will come out."

28.What mainly causes the quality of wine to decline in Spain?

A. Shortage of rainfall.                 B. High temperature.

C. Genetic variation.                   D. Geographical location.

29.What does the Carbonell's research find in paragraph 2?

A. Grapes picked too early won't have the sugar content.

B. Grapes with a longer ripeness period make good wine.

C. Grapes in hot regions won't lose their original flavor.

D. Grapes from older vines have a rise in production.

30.What is being done to keep the Spanish winemaking industry alive?

A. Make use of older grape vines.

B. Develop disease-resistant grape vines.

C. Replace old grape vines with new ones.

D. Cultivate grape vines with abundant water.

31.What is Maria's attitude to climate change?

A. Indifferent.       B. Unclear.      C. Worried.      D. Conservative.

D

Imagine you bought a new shirt and did not intend to buy a new jacket,however,you suppose that the new shirt makes the old jacket look worn. You weaken and buy a new jacket, new trousers,even new shoes.Before you realize it,you have a whole new wardrobe.And maybe an empty bank account.

This is called the Diderot Effect. Denis Diderot,a well-known French philosopher,was the co-founder and writer of Encyclopedia. However，he was too badly off to afford a dowry（嫁妆）for his daughter. His only valuable possessions were books. Hearing of Diderot's financial troubles,Catherine the Great,the Empress of Russia, offered to buy his library at a high price. Shortly after this lucky sale，Diderot acquired a new dressing gown（长袍）which had a huge effect on his life. As he wrote in the article in 1769, the new dressing gown made his other belongings seem old and unattractive. Thus, he began replacing them.

According to many social scientists,it resulted from a psychological need for our possessions to go together and to reflect our self-image. In1988, anthropologist Grant McCracken coined the term“the Diderot Effect”to describe this need and its influence on consumerism.

Marketers utilize this need by displaying products in what McCracken calls Diderot Unities. An example is the Swedish furniture company IKEA,whose marketing uses two kinds of Diderot Unities in its shops,website and catalogue.One is dividing items like lamps and rugs into various furniture "families". The other is displaying items in fully furnished rooms. Shops count on all of these to create the Diderot Effect, making the buyer want the entire package.

We may occasionally give in to the Diderot Effect,but knowing it exists can help us resist it so we don't regret our purchases. Before buying something,ask yourself,is it necessary?Then, buy items that match what you already have. And remind yourself that a new chair won't transform your bedroom into a showroom!

32.What can we infer about Denis Diderot from paragraph 2?

A.His belongings were out of style.

B.He showed interest in nothing but books.

C.He kept on buying new items after the lucky sale.

D.His new dressing gown landed him in financial troubles.

33.Why are people always buying things they don't actually need?

A.To improve their social status.

B.To show off their beauty and elegance.

C.To make their belongings better matched.

D.To cater for the needs of family members.

34.What does the underlined word"utilize"mean in paragraph 4?

A.Get rid of.       B. Ignore.            C. Affect.        D. Take advantage of.

35.What can be a suitable title for the text?

A.Keep an eye on your bank account

B.Embrace Minimalism:less is more

C.The Diderot Effect:a two-edged sword

D.Have you ever given in to the Diderot Effect?

“No 7、Jobie Nymble， lakes the lead，” cried the announcer."Just one more hurdle（跨栏）and..." Cheers erupted.

“Jobie Nymble from Riverside Middle School takes first place in the girls' 100-meter hurdles！”The crowd went wild.

“County championships，here we come，”screamed Jobie，patting her green track spikes（钉鞋）. They were her lucky shoes and she loved them."Next Saturday，we're taking home the gold,"Jobie whispered to her spikes,excitedly retying them.

"Don't forget,guys,"said Marisol,one of her teammates. "My birthday party is next Friday at Hidden Park.""Beep.Party recorded in calendar," joked Jobie in her best robot voice.

Next weekend couldn't come soon enough. Jobie smiled with excitement all week long. At track practice,she leaped over those hurdles faster than she'd ever leaped before. And it wasn't long before everything in her path was a hurdle: flowerpots in her front yard,sidewalk cracks on the way to the bus stop and even her little sister,Teka!

The day of Marisol's party,Jobie put on her favorite outfit: her blue shorts, an old track T-shirt from her dad,and her lucky spikes."Perfect."She smiled at herself in the mirror. The party was in full swing（高潮）when Jobie arrived at Hidden Park. She stopped by the track first,planning to do some practice.

“Jobie!”Two of Jobie's teammates rushed toward her,breathless and barefoot."Come on，"they yelled."You have to try the slide."

Jobie looked toward the party area. Suddenly, she saw it. The biggest slide she had ever seen was on the far side of the park. Smiling kids zoomed down the slide at unspeakable speeds. Without thinking twice,Jobie took off her spikes and dashed toward the slide. Its ladder stretched to the sky,but she reached the top in no time,closed her eyes and let go.Jobie couldn't get enough. She tried again and again. When it was finally time to go home,she unwillingly made her way back to the track where she'd left her shoes.

As she eyed the area from a distance.panic set in. Jobie picked up the pace, her heart pounding louder the closer she got. When she reached the place she had left them,her heart almost stopped.“They're gone!” she screamed.“My lucky spikes are gone." Fear crept over her as she anxiously circled the whole area and scanned for any splash of neon-green. Jobie's teammates helped her search the park, trying to find any trace of the spikes but in vain . No lucky spikes. By nightfall, the poor girl had no choice but to drag her bare feet home."So long,gold."Jobie groaned.

The next day.Jobie turned up in a new pair of spikes for the championships. In her brand-new shoes, she accepted the reality that this was not a game of chance. Teammates patted her back as she slowly walked down to the starting line, which also instilled great power in her. Starting buzzer going Jobie was off in a flash. She set focus on the finishing line, leaving behind any self-doubt or worry until she finally breasted the tape earlier than anyone else.In the cheers and shouts, Jobie squatted to untie her spikes as usual only to realize that there was no such thing as lucky spikes and that success was never a stroke of luck.
