It was a history-making moment at Miller & Miller’s Canadian & Discoveries Arts auction(拍卖) when the hammer finally came down for a rare Maud Lewis painting for $350,000.
Lewis was a Canadian artist who painted brightly colored scenes. She sold her paintings by the side of the road for $2 to $3. Painting wasn’t easy, since she suffered from a physical challenge that made moving painful. After reading an article about her, John Kinnear, also an artist mailed her boxes of painting supplies. At the time, Lewis lived in a one-room house with no electricity, using simple house paint to create. After receiving the supplies, Lewis wrote back insisting on repaying him with some of her paintings.
Kinnear sold some of them sending part of the money back to Lewis and using the remainder to buy her more paint. Gradually, the two artists developed long-lasting friendship.
Kinnear was friends with Irene and Tony Demas, who owned a restaurant where he ate lunch every day. One day, Kinnear told them he had some paintings by an artist and wondered if they might consider buying one of them. “When we saw the paintings, our jaw almost dropped,” recalls Irene. “We had never seen anything like them. They were so childlike, with cats and cows.” They ended up agreeing to the trade, choosing a painting called Black Trunk.
Over 50 years later, they’re long retired and now considering travelling more. They hoped to sell the painting. In the years since Lewis died, her paintings have become famous. But it was recent scare that really urged them into action. After having non-glare glass added to the painting, the business street where the framer(装裱师) lived burned to the ground just days after they picked up their painting. “We saw that Miller &Miller’s had sold one not long ago. We trusted the Miller brothers.” says Irene.
4、Why did John Kinnear send Lewis boxes of painting supplies?
A. To exchange for her paintings. B. To offer her assistance.
C. To teach her painting techniques. D. To befriend with her.
5、How did Irene and Tony Demas feel when they first saw Lewis’s paintings?
A. Confused. B. Panicked. C. Shocked. D. Embarrassed.
6、What was the real reason for the Demas’ selling Black Truck?
A. They were eventually persuaded by the framer.
B. They were afraid the painting would lose value.
C. They fear something unexpected would happen.
D. They were in desperate need of money to travel.
7、What’s the author’s purpose in writing the text?
A. To recommend an auction house. B. To introduce a painting artist.
C. To explain a trend in art collecting. D. To tell the story of a painting.
It was a very hot August day in 2019. Entomology graduate student Skye Harnsberger and her research team parked their car and walked into the tall grass. As they entered a narrow path, the team looked for the milkweed among other plants. When spotted, it was examined and recorded. They repeated this simple process all summer long.
Milkweed is key to monarch butterflies(黑麦金斑蝶). It’s the only plant on which they’ll lay their eggs and the only one that their caterpillars(幼虫) will eat. But in the past decades, urban development and overuse of weed killers have severely ruined this habitat. Today, the number of adult monarchs may be not enough to ensure that the species multiplies. “Monarchs connect many people to nature, and without these connections, people are less likely to be concerned enough about other species,” says Karen Oberhauser who serves as the researcher advisor.
This is why Harnsberger is studying how and where to plant milkweed to attract the greatest number of monarchs. “There’s been some modeling on which type would be better for the monarch but no real boots-on-the-ground research yet.” Harnsberger and her team have put their boots on the prairie where 30 sites have been divided into four types. Their data show that monarchs prefer fields with higher densities(密集) of milkweed and flowering plants. The size of the prairie, however, does not matter much.
Harnsberger points out that anyone can take small steps to help monarchs. Their population is quickly declining, so any action is better than none at all. “The number one thing the public can do for monarchs is to plant milkweed,” Harnsberger says. “As much as you can, wherever you can. The more plants, the better for monarchs.”
8、What can we say about the work in Paragraph 1?
A. Laborious. B. Rewarding C. Dangerous. D. Creative.
9、Which of the following leads to the declining population of monarch butterflies?
A. Little attention from the public. B. Great damage to the habitat.
C. Low survival rate of caterpillars. D. Limited options for food.
10、What do the underlined words “have put their boots on” mean in the Paragraph 3?
A. Find a problem. B. Think of a method.
C. Do field research. D. Draw a conclusion.
11、What does Harnsberger’s advice in the last paragraph convey?
A. Strike the iron while it’s hot. B. Easier said than done.
C. Many a little make a mickle. D. More haste, less speed.
During the pandemic, working from home has become common, leaving many appreciating the freedom and flexibility of working remotely(远程地). However, while the traditional idea of an office—a place away from home—may have changed, the need for physical office space hasn’t. In fact, this period of working from home has stressed just how important it is to have a place of work, without which the work-life balance may be worsened.
With traditional offices unable to meet the changing needs of a pandemic-stricken workforce, and working from home showing other problems, a solution needs to be found in the office of the future.
Perhaps the most unique characteristics of the office of the future will be its hybrid solution. It could marry the advantages of physical workspace with the benefits of working from home. Many companies have already started to adopt this new hybrid model, allowing employee teams to create schedules for when they will be working from home, or even use an online system to book a meeting room in the company. This way, the company can manage the number of people in the office at one time, meaning spaces can be downsized to save costs.
With the office playing a key role in creating and communicating company culture, thoughts must be given to these issues when designing offices of the future. For example, aware that many employees will be adopting the hybrid working model, office designers should focus on more than the functional part of getting jobs done. Instead, the office should become a place where teams are encouraged to meet, work together and build strong bonds, which will reduce any concerns of loneliness at work. Floor plans should include meeting rooms and rest areas that promote social interaction on both professional and more personal levels.
Many businesses have already begun to adopt their physical spaces to adapt to the changing needs and expectations of workforces, suggesting we may not be far away from the next stage of the office.
12、What can we know about working offices from paragraph 1 and 2?
A. They are at a turning point. B. They disturb work-life balance.
C. They are in great demand. D. They stick to traditional designs.
13、What’s special about the hybrid model?
A. The work schedule is very flexible.
B. Employees can work at a distance they like.
C. The number of people at home can be easily managed.
D. The benefits of physical offices and remote work are combined.
14、Which aspect of the future office does the author focus on in paragraph 4?
A. Providing working equipment. B. Promoting workers’ well-being.
C. Reducing the company cost. D. Increasing working efficiency.
15、Which is the best title of the passage?
A. Physical Office: Still needed?
B. Future Office: A Possible Solution?
C. Office Design Trend: Always in Change?
D. The Office of the Future: Are We There Yet?

34、阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
Melati and Isabel deeply love their home on the island, surrounded by tropical rain forests, green fields, and a vast ocean. Enjoying a swim at their local beach was once a daily pleasure for them. But when Melati was fifteen, and Isabel just ten, the sisters started to lose their enthusiasm for swimming in the waters near their borne. More often than not, plastic bags would be around them as they swam and some were scattered on the beach. They got really upset about that.
Melati didn’t think much about it until one day her teacher gave a lesson on some world heroes. Each of those people had sparked movements of positive changes in the world. They believed in the impact they could have and they did inspire more people to do something meaningful. After school, Melati walked home slowly in silence, concerned about the vast amount of plastic rubbish on the beach. The heroes crossed her mind. If they could do it, we could do it too, she thought. The idea lit her up. She couldn’t wait to share what she thought with Isabel and quickened her pace.
“So many plastic bags around! The beach is dirty and messy! It’s so terrible! We have lost the clean and beautiful beach. Can’t we do something to get it back?” Melati said heartily. Isabel felt a bit puzzled at what to do, but she also had a strong desire to do something. Picturing a beach as fascinating as before in mind, the pair jumped with joy.
They talked a lot, anxious to know how Dad and Mom would respond to their ideas. That night when the family sat by the dinner table, the sisters eagerly got their ideas across. While Mom and Dad listened to the girls carefully, their eyes shone. “How amazing that would be! We are so proud of you!” Dad exclaimed. Mom came up, gave them a thumb up and hugged the sisters.
注意：
1．续写词数应为150左右；
2．请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
Melati and Isabel decided to make a positive impact straight away.

16、答案：FBEDG
解析：①语境衔接题。根据上文中的No two libraries are the same. One could be a center of students doing projects, while another could be a center for the homeless and people seeking jobs.(没有两个图书馆是相同的。一个可以是学生做项目的中心,而另一个可以是无家可归者和寻找工作的人的中心。)可知图书馆的不同功能,再结合下文It used to be an unwelcome place for children, but now it has become a hub(活动中心)for community activity.(它曾经是一个不受孩子欢迎的地方,但现在它已经成为一个社区活动的中心。)描述图书馆如今的功能,由此可知,空处应该也是围绕图书馆的功能来讲,F项"尽管如此,图书馆的重点仍然是作为一个信息和知识的场所。"引起下文,讲述了图书馆如今的重点功能,下文"It"代指选项中的"a library",故选F。
②推理判断题。根据下文When you arrive, there will be someone there to help you and your children set up library cards, sign up for programs, and show you where the books are.(当你到达时,会有人在那里帮助你和你的孩子设置图书卡,注册项目,并告诉你书在哪里。)指出你去图书馆借书不需要做什么,因为有人帮你做所有的事,你只管去图书馆即可,B项"杰克逊说,你只要去图书馆就行了!"符合,下文具体对此进行介绍,故选B。

⑤语境衔接题。根据上文So often people say(人们常说)可知,空处应该是引用人们常说的话,再结合下文Go find out what's going on(去看看怎么回事)提倡人们要去图书馆,由此可知,空处指人们常说自己不去图书馆,所以才有了下文的号召人们去图书馆,G项"我已经很多年没进过图书馆了因为我不需要再去了解它了。"符合上下文,故选G。
17、答案：A

32、答案：①hour’s②Walking③was④and⑤worn⑥much⑦has hidden⑧architecture⑨Luckily⑩the
解析：①考查名词所有格。句意:这个村庄离市中心只有一个小时的车程,它没有随着时间的流逝而受到损坏。结合句意可知,此处表示"一小时的车程",故应用名词所有格hour's作定语,修饰后文名词drive,故填hour's。
②考查现在分词。句意:走在村子里,我不禁想象那时的生活是什么样子。分析可知,此处应用非谓语动词作状语,主语|和动词walk之间是逻辑上的主动关系,故应用现在分词作状语,所填词位于句首,首字母应大写,故填Walking。
③考查时态及主谓一致。句意:走在村子里,我不禁想象那时的生活是什么样子。根据句意及时间状语then可知,句子描述的是过去发生的事,应用一般过去时,主语life为不可数名词,故be动词应用was,故填was。
④考查连词。句意:我看到了茶馆和小吃店。根据句意可知,tea shops和small snack shops之间是并列关系,故应用连词and连接,故填and。
⑤考查过去分词。句意:当我走在被时间磨损的小路上时,我能听到过去的脚步声在过道里回响。分析可知,此处应用非谓语动词作后置定语,动词wear"磨损"与其逻辑主语the footpaths之间是被动关系,故应用过去分词作后置定语,故填worn。
⑥考查固定搭配。句意:我想知道这个村庄发生了多少的变化,以及这个村庄的城墙背后隐藏着什么秘密。分析可知,此处表示"多少"且change"变化"在这里是不可数名词,故应用how much来修饰,故填much。
⑦考查时态及主谓一致。句意:我想知道这个村庄发生了多大的变化,以及这个村庄的城墙背后隐藏着什么秘密。分析可知,所填词为宾语从句的谓语单词,结合句意及前文has seen可知,此处应用现在完成时,主语this village是单数,助动词应用has,故填has hidden。
⑧考查不可数名词。句意:我一直很喜欢中国古代建筑式样,不幸的是在北京和上海这样的大城市很难找到它。分析可知,此处应用名词architecture作宾语,architecture"建筑式样"为不可数名词,故填architecture。
⑨考查副词。句意:幸运的是,在宏村这里,我不仅欣赏了中国古代风格的建筑,而且能够追踪到大约500年前生活和行走在同一条道路上的人们的足迹。分析可知,此处应用副词作状语,修饰后面整个句子,结合句意表示"幸运的是",应用副词luckily,句首单词首字母应大写,故填Luckily。
⑩考查冠词。句意:幸运的是,在宏村这里,我不仅欣赏了中国古代风格的建筑,而且能够追踪到大约500年前生活和行走在同一条道路上的人们的足迹。形容词same通常和定冠词the连用,故填the。

Melati and Isabel decided to make a positive impact straight away. They took advantage of their spare time to pick up rubbish on the beach. However, it was soon that they realized that they couldn't solve the problem on their own for there was so much plastic. After discussions and preparations, they started an organization to spread their idea among youth, involving more youths in the movement, which proved to be a hit. More and more teenagers took part. In a month, they altogether collected and recycled 2.5 tons of plastic, recovering the beautiful beach.
One month later, Melati received a call from the local newspaper. The two girls were invited to an interview in which they were asked what inspired them to start the organization, what the biggest challenges are and what advice they have for young people who want to make changes in this world. They said a team is what keeps them going on the challenging days and added, “keeping our team engaged and motivated has been a challenge and we are happy to have a positive influence.” Melati and Isabel are heroes who make a big difference to our world.
