A
For centuries people have wondered who was the model for Leonard do da Vinci’s Mona Lisa and what was the reason for her smile. But the Mona Lisa is just one of the many mysteries in the art world. Here are some other notable unsolved art mysteries that might be a little less familiar.
Mystery 1: Who Is the girl in Johannes Vermeer’s Girl with a Pearl Earring?
Around 1665, Dutch artist Johannes Vermeer painted a charming portrait of a young girl. People around the globe have long wondered who this fetching young lady was. Many say she must have been Vermeer’s daughter or girlfriend. Others think she wasn’t a real person, but rather an intentionally mysterious, timeless figure. The painting, referred to as the “ Mona Lisa of the North ” , has been part of The Hague’s permanent collection since 1903. But it draws record-breaking crowds whenever and wherever it tours around the world.
Mystery 2: Where Is Raphael’s Portrait of a Young Man?
Portrait of a Young Man is considered one of the most important pieces of art to go missing during World War II. The painting was created around 1513 by Raphael, a famous Italian Renaissance artist, and stolen from Poland’s Princes Czartoryski Museum in 1939.
The portrait had traveled to Germany and Austria before it was gone in 1945.
Mystery 3: Was Van Gogh Murdered?
One of the main things people know about Vincent van Gogh is that he cut off his ear. That was likely because the Dutch post-impressionist painter suffered from mental illness, probably severe depression. The official cause is suicide from a gun shot at close range.
That certainly seems plausible (貌似有理的), given his poor mental health. However, no gun was found near his body, and locals reported two teenage boys bullying him shortly before his death.
1. What do Portrait of a Young Man and Girl with a Pearl Earring have in common?
A. They are both gone. B. They are both portraits.
C. They were created at the same period. D. They are both related to World War II.
2. Who probably suffered from mental illness?
A. Leonardo da Vinci. B. Johannes Vermeer. C. Vincent van Gogh. D. Raphael.
3. Who is likely to be more interested in this selection?
A. Art lovers. B. Book reviewers. C. Tour guides. D. Music composers.
【答案】1. B 2. C 3. A

One of the three astronauts who made up the historic Apollo 11 crew, NASA veteran Michael Collins passed away today, April 28, 2021, at the age of 90.
Collins was born on Oet. 31, 1930, in Rome, Italy. His father, a career officer in the US, Amy who’d go on to retire as a major general, was stationed there at the time. After his family returned stateside, Collins earned a Bachelor of Science degree from the US. Military Academy at West Point, graduating with the class of 1952. He then became an Air Force test pilot, which opened some interesting doors. In 1962, John Glenn became the first American to orbit the Earth. Glenn’s achievement was an inspiration for Collins. “I certainly had no childhood dream of flying to the moon or anywhere else, but the idea was extremely appealing.” Collins wrote in his autobiography Carrying the Fire: An Astronaut’s Journeys. He was selected to join NASA’s third class of astronauts the following year. His first extraterrestrial (地球外的) adventure came in 1966, when Collins set about on a three-day spaceflight with fellow astronaut John Young. Known as Gemini X, their mission was one for the record books; the two men reached the then-unprecedented (前所未有的) altitude of 475 miles (764kilometers ).
Of course, Michael Collins is best remembered for his role in Apollo 11. On July 16, 1969, at 8:32 AM ( Eastern Standard Time ), Collins, Buzz Aldrin and Neil Armstrong were launched out of the Kennedy Space Center in Florida. They were the three explorers NASA had chosen for the first mission that would ever put a man on the moon. Four days into their adventure, on July 20, Collins parted ways with his crewmates. Seated in the Eagle landing craft, Armstrong and Aldrin made their landing onto the lunar surface. An American flag was planted; photos were taken; Armstrong said the immortal words, “ One small step for man, one giant leap for mankind. ”
Meanwhile, Collins stayed behind in the crew’s command module (舱), orbiting the moon as his colleagues explored it.
4. What motivated Collins to dream of flying to the moon?
A His father’s encouragement. B. John Glenn’s achievement.
C. His childhood experiences. D. His favorite book.
5. What can we learn about Collins from paragraph 2?

Margot doesn’t have a garbage can. It doesn’t need one because Margot simply doesn’t cause anything to get thrown away. The restaurant doesn’t allow any type of single use plastic. Margot, which opened last year, is one of the small but growing restaurants around the world aiming to avoid not only food leftovers, but also any garbage.
“Food waste has been increasing as an issue for restaurants over the last 10 years,” says Calvin Brown. He runs the Sustainable Restaurant Association. Based in the United Kingdom, the organization helps food business become more environmentally responsible. He says that food waste contributes to releasing the greenhouse gas, so there is strong motivation to reduce waste and help the environment.
In the USA, food waste and packing account for nearly half of the material sent to landfills. Restaurants from McDonald’s to Starbucks are addressing this issue with “no straw Mondays” and limits on single-serving plastic, but a handful of restaurateurs are trying to get rid of rubbish entirely. There’s also economic case to be made for waste reduction. One study shows that restaurants save seven dollars for every dollar invested in anti- waste methods.
Avoiding food waste is the first and perhaps most obvious challenge for sustainable restaurants. Doug McMaster, chef at Silo in London, only serves a set menu. This removes the worry that one particular item won’t sell well, and will spoil in the refrigerator. Compost (堆肥) is a necessity as well. Nolla (meaning “zero” in Finnish) in Helsinki, Finland is giving compost to its suppliers as well as its diners. Nolla also has food- tracking software more commonly used among corporate food service companies to keep track of what sells and what rots.
Sometimes restaurants call themselves environmentally friendly, but they might just be using the label. Calvin offers some pointers on what to look for to make sure a restaurant is truly committed to sustainability.
8. What does Margot feature?
A. Its large size. B. Its opening hours.
C. Its zero-waste goal. D. Its plastic garbage cans.
9. What is paragraph 3 mainly about?
A. Ways of packaging food.
B. The issue of investing in services.
C. The importance of environmental protection.
D. Efforts of some restaurants to reduce rubbish,
10. Which of the following does Nolla try to do?
A. Only serve a set menu.
B. Hardly use refrigerators.
C. Supply compost to its customers.
D. Keep track of diners’ preferences.
11. What does Calvin think restaurants should do?
A. Expand food business.
B. Use eco-friendly labels.
C. Save money on dealing with kitchen garbage.
D. Contribute to sustainable development of the food industry.
【答案】8. C 9. D 10. C 11. D

【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第一段“ It doesn’t need one because Margot simply doesn’t cause anything to get thrown away. The restaurant doesn’t allow any type of single use plastic. Margot, which opened last year, is one of the small but growing restaurants around the world aiming to avoid not only food leftovers, but also any garbage.(它不需要垃圾桶，因为Margot根本不会导致任何东西被扔掉。这家餐厅不允许使用任何类型的一次性塑料。去年开业的Margot是世界上小型但不断增长的餐厅之一，不仅旨在避免剩菜，也旨在避免任何垃圾。)可知Margot的特点是它的零浪费的目标。故选C项。
【9题详解】
主旨大意题。根据文章第三段“Restaurants from McDonald’s to Starbucks are addressing this issue with “no straw Mondays” and limits on single-serving plastic, but a handful of restaurateurs are trying to get rid of rubbish entirely. There’s also economic case to be made for waste reduction. One study shows that restaurants save seven dollars for every dollar invested in anti- waste methods.(从麦当劳到星巴克，许多餐馆都在用“星期一没有吸管”和对一次性塑料的限制来解决这个问题，而一些餐馆老板正试图完全清除垃圾。减少浪费也有经济理由。一项研究表明，餐馆在反浪费方法上每投资1美元，就能节省7美元。)”可知文章第三段主要讲的是一些餐馆在减少垃圾方面所做出的努力。故选D项。
【10题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第四段“Compost (堆肥) is a necessity as well. Nolla (meaning “zero” in Finnish) in Helsinki, Finland is giving compost to its suppliers as well as its diners. Nolla also has food- tracking software more commonly used among corporate food service companies to keep track of what sells and what rots.(堆肥也是一种必需。芬兰赫尔辛基的Nolla(芬兰的意思是“零”)正在为其供应商和食客提供堆肥。)”可知Nolla努力提供堆肥给它的顾客。故选C项。
【11题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第二段“He says that food waste contributes to releasing the greenhouse gas, so there is strong motivation to reduce waste and help the environment.(他说，食物浪费导致释放温室气体，所以我们有强烈的动力来减少浪费和帮助环境。)”以及最后一段“Calvin offers some pointers on what to look for to make sure a restaurant is truly committed to sustainability.(Calvin就如何确保一家餐厅真正致力于可持续发展提供了一些建议。)可知Calvin认为餐厅应该对食品工业的可持续发展作出贡献。故选D项。
D
The Science and Technology Facilities Council (STFC) and University of Central Lanca-shire (UCLan) share findings of a project to improve student engagement with science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM).
It’s long been acknowledged that students from disadvantaged backgrounds are under-represented in science, technology, engineering and mathematics careers. Now, research conducted by UCLan and funded by STFC shows the causes of this problem and points to innovative solutions. The Blackpool Physics; Inspire, Engage, Research (PIER) project found that primary school children from low socio-economic areas are just as interested in science but lack knowledge about possible science careers.
The PIER project is following a group of pupils as they progress from Grade 6 to Grade 9, using surveys, interviews and other assessments to measure interest in science. These initial findings suggest that attempts to increase science participation among young people should not simply promote the subject as “fun” or “interesting”. Instead, greater impact could be achieved by demonstrating clearly how science can open possible future career opportunities.
Many of the pupils taking part in the study understood that studying science could be useful but few could explain why, suggesting a need for greater education about STEM careers. As well as broadening our understanding of the issue, the PIER project is solving the problem head on. The team has carried out a variety of activities each year for the participants, including “meet the scientists” events, trips to UCLan’s Alston Observatory as well as family science events at school.
Lead Researcher and STFC Fellow in Public Engagement, Professor Robert Walsh, said, “Much government policy towards boosting science in higher education focuses on an assumed lack of interest and desire in low-socioeconomic groups.” However, the enthusiasm is already there and this “hidden science identity” needs to be revealed and translated into real-life prospects for these young people. We’re recommending that programs instead allow young people to explore their science identity more fully and provide innovative ways to discover the jobs that studying science may lead to.
12. What do people generally believe about poor students?
A. They have no interest in STEM careers.
B. They are not engaged enough in science.
C. They are more representative of science.
D. They have many character disadvantages.
13 What does the PIER project pay more attention to?
A. Assessing pupils’ performance.
B. Increasing the surveys of pupils.
C. Demonstrating the potential value of science.
D. Promoting the subject as “fun” or “interesting”.
14. Why does the team conduct various activities?
A. To boost science development.
B. To meet the pupils’ needs for school events.
C. To promote teaching related careers’ development.
D. To improve students’ understanding of STEM careers.
15. What is the best title for the text?
A. What Is the Definition of PIER?
B. Increase Pupils’ Learning Awareness
C. How Does the PIER Project Come into Being?
D. The PIER Project Helps Poor Pupils Engage in Science
【答案】12. B 13. C 14. D 15. D
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了为了帮助来自贫穷地区学生更多参与对科学、技术、工程和数学的参与度而展开的The PIER项目。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第二段“It’s long been acknowledged that students from disadvantaged backgrounds are under-represented in science, technology, engineering and mathematics careers.(长期以来，人们一直认为，来自弱势背景的学生在科学、技术、工程和数学领域的代表性不足。)”可知人们通常认为一些弱势背景的学生对科学的参与度不够。故选B项。
【13题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第三段“These initial findings suggest that attempts to increase science participation among young people should not simply promote the subject as “fun” or “interesting”. Instead, greater impact could be achieved by demonstrating clearly how science can open possible future career opportunities.(这些初步发现表明，增加年轻人的科学参与的尝试不应该简单地将这一主题推广为“令人愉快的”或“有趣的”。相反，通过清楚地展示科学如何打开未来可能的职业机会，可以获得更大的影响。)可知PIER项目将注意力更多地放在去展示科学的潜在价值上。故选C项。
【14题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第四段“Many of the pupils taking part in the study understood that studying science could be useful but few could explain why, suggesting a need for greater education about STEM careers. As well as broadening our understanding of the issue, the PIER project is solving the problem head on. The team has carried out a variety of activities each year for the participants, including “meet the scientists” events, trips to UCLan’s Alston Observatory as well as family science events at school.(许多参与这项研究的学生理解学习科学可能很有用，但很少有人能解释为什么，这表明需要对STEM职业进行更多的教育。除了扩大我们对这个问题的理解外，PIER项目也在正面解决这个问题。该团队每年为参与者开展各种活动，包括“与科学家见面”活动、前往乌克兰的奥尔斯顿天文台以及在学校举办的家庭科学活动。)”可知这支团队举办各种活动的目的是为了提高学生对STEM职业的理解。故选D项。
【15题详解】
主旨大意题。根据文章第一段“The Science and Technology Facilities Council (STFC) and University of Central Lanca-shire (UCLan) share findings of a project to improve student engagement with science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM).(科学和技术设施委员会和中央兰卡郡大学分享了一个项目的发现，以提高学生对科学、技术、工程和数学(stem)的参与度。)”以及最后一段““Much government policy towards boosting science in higher education focuses on an assumed lack of interest and desire in low-socioeconomic groups.” However, the enthusiasm is already there and this “hidden science identity” needs to be revealed and translated into real-life prospects for these young people. We’re recommending that programs instead allow young people to explore their science identity more fully and provide innovative ways to discover the jobs that studying science may lead to.(“政府促进高等教育科学的政策都集中在低社会经济群体兴趣和欲望的缺乏上。”然而，这种热情已经存在，这种“隐藏的科学身份”需要被揭示出来，并转化为这些年轻人的现实生活前景。我们建议这个项目让年轻人更充分地探索他们的科学身份，并提供创新的方式来发现研究科学可能带来的工作。)”以及其他三段的主要内容可知文章主要是在围绕着PIER项目如何帮助贫穷的学生更多地从事科学活动展开的。D项“PIER项目帮助贫困学生从事科学研究”可以作为本文的最佳标题。故选D项。

Have you ever gone to a museum or a show and been completely blown away by a piece? If you haven’t, go out and get cultured. I’m a student at the College of Visual and Performing Arts where we create all kinds of art every day. ____16____ But I don’t think those people truly know the difficulties and struggles in the process of making art.
First of all, we need to be inspired. You may think that’s easy. In fact, anything can serve as a concept of a work of art. ____17____ Sometimes we will need people, volunteers, bodies to do so and finding willing people to work is hard. Other times we have a clear idea of what we want but we don’t know how to make other people fully understand what we’re trying to get at.
____18____ We need a space to be able to be creative and that can be tricky to acquire. Sometimes we need art supplies or certain equipment and costumes and that can cost money. Even if we do acquire what we need, visions change and mistakes happen so we might not end up using the resources.
The process can take weeks, months, and even years to be fully realized. Once completed, we need to share it and find an audience and provide an environment to display our work. ____19____ What if nobody likes what we created? What if our vision isn’t what we thought though completed?
Creating art is an art in itself. It is really not as easy as many people think. ____20____ It’s how we express ourselves and how we communicate with the rest of the world.
A. Outsiders think our jobs easy.
B. We should be quiet and creative.
C. We might choose other fields as well.
D. Resources are also a huge factor in making art.
E. The hard part comes when we put our ideas into reality.

【答案】16. A 17. E 18. D 19. F 20. G
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇议论文。文章开篇提出很多人认为艺术创作的工作很简单，但作者认为这些外行人士不懂艺术创作的艰难之处，并从艺术创作的灵感、资源、时间等方面论述艺术创作工作的不易，最后总结出艺术创作本身就是一件艺术，需要耐心、时间、空间。
【16题详解】
上文“I’m a student at the College of Visual and Performing Arts where we create all kinds of art every day.(我是一名视觉与表演艺术学院的学生，每天都在创作各种各样的艺术作品)”，下文“But I don’t think those people truly know the difficulties and struggles in the process of making art.(但是我认为那些人并不是真正了解艺术创作过程中的艰辛。)”，说明中间设空处需要填一个意思与其相反相对的表达。A项“Outsiders think our jobs easy.(外人认为我们的工作很容易。)”恰好与之对应，下文的those people指代A项中的Outsiders， 下文的difficult也与A项中的easy对应。故选A项。
【17题详解】
上文“First of all, we need to be inspired. You may think that’s easy. In fact, anything can serve as a concept of a work of art.(首先，我们需要灵感。你可能认为这很容易。事实上，任何东西都可以作为艺术作品的概念。)”提到了艺术创作需要灵感，而任何东西都可以作为艺术作品的概念，这是容易的部分。而下文“Sometimes we will need people, volunteers, bodies to do so and finding willing people to work is hard.(有时我们需要人、志愿者、人模来做这些，而找到愿意做这些工作的人很难。)”提到很难找到愿意做这些工作的人，属于艺术创作工作中难的部分。因此中间需要有过度，E项“The hard part comes when we put our ideas into reality.(我们要把想法变为实际时，困难就来了。)”恰好能把上下文衔接起来。故选E项。
【18题详解】
本题设空处位于段首，根据下文“We need a space to be able to be creative and that can be tricky to acquire. Sometimes we need art supplies or certain equipment and costumes and that can cost money. Even if we do acquire what we need, visions change and mistakes happen so we might not end up using the resources.(我们需要一个能够发挥创造力的空间，而这很难获得。有时我们需要一些艺术用品或某些设备和服装，这需要花钱。即使我们获得了我们需要的东西，我们的想法会发生变化，错误也会随之出现，所以我们可能最终不会使用这些资源。)”可知，整段内容都在讲艺术创作需要用到的资源，故段首句需要含括整段内容。结合选项可知，D项“Resources are also a huge factor in making art.(资源也是艺术创作的一个重要因素。)”一方面能概括整段内容，另一方面also与第二段的first of all对应。故选D项。
【19题详解】
上文“The process can take weeks, months, and even years to be fully realized. Once completed, we need to share it and find an audience and provide an environment to display our work.(这个过程可能需要几周、几个月、甚至几年的时间才能完全实现。一旦完成，我们需要分享它，找个观众，并提供一个环境来展示我们的作品。)”提到了作品完成后会做的事情；下文“What if nobody likes what we created? What if our vision isn’t what we thought though completed?(如果没有人喜欢我们创造的东西怎么办？如果我们的想法并不如我们所想的那样完成了呢？)”是对完成作品后可能出现问题的假设，且都是一些消极的想法，F项“And the negative thoughts love to overpower our minds.(我们的大脑里总是充斥着各种消极的想法。)”恰好与下文的消极设问对应。故选F项。
【20题详解】
上文“Creating art is an art in itself. It is really not as easy as many people think.(艺术创作本身就是一种艺术。这真的不像许多人想的那么容易。)”总结性地提到了艺术创作并不是那么容易的；下文“It’s how we express ourselves and how we communicate with the rest of the world.(它是我们表达自我的方式，也是我们与世界交流的方式。)”总结了艺术创作对从事艺术的人的意义，故中间同样需要一句总结性的话语，表明艺术创作的不易。G项“It takes time, patience and space when things don’t go as expected.(当事情不像预期那样发展时，需要时间、耐心和空间。)”恰好总结了前面几段的内容，符合文意。故选G项。

Last Saturday afternoon we take part in a voluntary activity called “Clean Home”, which was organizing by our school. We got to the People’s Square in our town but then handed out leaflets to passers-by to remind them of the importance of protect the environment and cleaning their homes. The leaflets were used to calling on people to start with ourselves. Some students made out public speeches to tell people to take action immediate. All of us really learned lot from the voluntary activity and it offered us an opportunity to make some differences to the society.
【答案】1．take →took
2．organizing→organized
3．but →and
4．protect →protecting
5．calling →call
6．ourselves →themselves
7．去掉out
8．immediate →immediately
9．lot前加a
10．differences →difference
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇记叙文， 介绍了作者参加的“清洁家园”的志愿活动，以及从活动中获益匪浅。
【详解】1.考查时态。句意：上周六下午，我们参加了一个名为“清洁家园”的志愿活动，这是我们学校组织的。本句时间状语是Last Saturday afternoon可知谓语动词应使用一般过去时，故将take改为took。
2.考查语态。句意同上题。分析句子结构可知此处非限制性定语从句主语which代指activity和从句谓语动词organize构成被动关系，应使用过去分词构成被动语态，故将organizing改为organized。
3.考查连词。句意：我们来到镇上的人民广场，然后向路人分发传单，提醒他们保护环境和清洁家园的重要性。分析句子结构可知动词got和handed out是连续的动作，表示顺承关系，应使用并列连词，故将but改为and。
4.考查非谓语动词。句意同上题。介词of后应使用动名词在宾语，故将protect改为protecting。
5.考查非谓语动词和固定搭配。句意：传单习惯于号召人们从自己做起。固定短语be used to do被用来做，此处应使用不定式做目的状语，故将calling改为call。
6.考查反身代词。句意同上题。分析句子结构可知此号召的是“人们”， 从“他们自身”做起，故将ourselves改为themselves。
7.考查固定短语。句意：一些学生发表公开演讲，告诉人们立即采取行动。make speeches “发表演讲”，out多余，故将out去掉。
8.考查副词。句意同上题。此处用副词修饰动词take，故将immediate改为immediately。
9.考查固定短语。句意：我们所有人都从志愿活动中学到了很多东西。此处用固定短语a lot意思是“许多”不定代词做动词learn的宾语，故lot前加a。
10.考查名词以及固定短语。句意：它为我们提供了一个改变社会的机会。此处冠词固定短语make some difference “对……有影响”此时difference是不可数名词。而make some differences 意思是“产生一些差异”，故将differences改为difference。
