The Mona Lisa, one of the world’s most famous paintings, has been recreated with 3,604 cups of coffee—and 564 pints of milk. The different colors were created by adding no, little or lots of milk to each cup of black coffee. The recreated Mona Lisa measured 20 feet long and 13 feet wide. It took a team of eight people three hours to complete the work. It was created for The Rocks Aroma Festival in Sydney, Australia, and seen by 130,000 people who attended the one-day coffee-lovers event. Elaine Kelly, one of the organizers from the Sydney Harbor Foreshore Authority, was delighted with the result. She said, “Each coffee cup was filled with varying amounts of milk to create the different shades(色度) of the painting. We wanted to create an element of surprise and a sense of fun in the way we communicated with the public.” “Once we had the idea of creating an image(像) out of coffee cups we searched for something iconic（有代表性的）to reproduce(复制).And after some time we chose the most iconic painting in history. The Mona Lisa has been reproduced so many times in so many different mediums but, as far as we know, never out of coffee,” Kelly continued. “Besides, the idea is practical.” “It was fantastic. It really looked like the famous painting—the Mona Lisa. It was wonderful,” said one visitor. After much planning it was great to see it coming together so well and the 130,000 people who attended the event certainly enjoyed it and were deeply attracted by it,” said Kelly. 1.How were the different colors of the recreated Moma Lisa created?

Timing is another consideration. 72 Others get a monthly allowance. In any case, parents should make clear what, if anything, the children is expected to pay for with the money. 73 If they do this, they will learn the hard way that spending must be done within a budget. Parents are usually advised not to offer more money until the next allowance. The object is to show young people that a budget demands choices between spending and saving. Older children may be responsible enough to save money for larger costs, like clothing or electronics. Many people who have written on the subject of allowances say it is not a good idea to pay your child for work around the home. These jobs are a normal part of family life. Paying children to do extra work around the house, however, can be useful. 74 Allowances give children a chance to experience the three things they can do with money. 75 They can spend it by buying things they want. Or they can save it.
E. It can even provide an understanding of how a business works. F. Their parents will teach them a hard lesson. G. At first, young children may spend all of their allowance soon after they receive it.
D A team of scientists proved that seals had a very good sense of hearing. These men trained blind seals to expect food when they heard sounds. The seals always began snapping(猛咬) when a strong signal was sounded. It was proved that even a soft signal, a considerable distance away, could make these sea animals respond. That should make the fisherman who makes much noise while working, or talks loudly, start thinking. The same team of scientists also trained seals to recognize different sounds. One bell-tone meant food ,two bell-tones meant no food. In the beginning, the seals made mistakes when the two bell-tones were sounded. They were given a light tap after each mistake. The seals were good learners. They easily learned to tell the difference between the sounds. 67.Why was it necessary to use blind seals? Because they______. A. were unable to use sight for clues B. had better hearing C. were waiting to be fed D. were the only animals to be found 68. To those seals strong signal meant_____. A. snapping B. nothing C. food D. a light tap 69. The article doesn’t say directly but suggests that fishermen usually think______. A. seals have no good sense of hearing B. seals have good sense of hearing C. seals can only recognize bell sounds D. seals can not hear soft or long distant sounds 70. Which title will be the best to suit the article? A. Clever Seals B. Smart Learners C. An Underwater School D. An Unknown School
C The outstretched(伸出的) hand caught my eyes immediately. I’d fallen on the sidewalk, having tripped on the curb(路边). A hand was there, ready to help me. Then, warm smile and, “ Are you OK?” I’d fallen on my hands and knees, and I was fine. But I loved seeing that hand reaching toward me. The woman helped me up, made sure I was all right, and we both went our way. As I remembered this incident during the next few days, it became a symbol of the significance of helping another one. In the grand scheme of things, such help may often seem small, but at the moment it’s needed, it can feel very significant. One of my most meaningful lessons on how to help others came at the end of a week-long music workshop. At that final gathering, we each had the opportunity to perform for the other participants. A woman who was much more experienced and accomplished(技艺高超的)than I ---- a piano teacher who attended the workshop in order to learn new teaching techniques- invited me to play the piano with her. I'd actually been quite happy as part of the audience, watching the other students perform. My piano skills were elementary, and my confidence was low. When she asked, though, it was almost as if she’d taken me by the hand and led me to the piano. As I plunked out a melody(旋律), she played a lovely accompaniment. Hearing that accompaniment to my melody moved me to tears. She was helping my music be beautiful—helping me play my song. But the lasting impact of that experience related to much more. I took away with me the lesson that we are each here to help one another “ play our songs” --- live our lives to the fullest, be the individuals whom we are. 63. What is the main idea of the passage? A. The significance of helping one another. B. My experience of playing the piano. C. The people who helped me out. D. The incident I remembered on the street. 64. Why did the author just want to be part of the audience? A. She couldn’t play the piano quite well. B. There was no time left for her to perform. C. Nobody invited her to play the piano. D. She was too shy to perform in public. 65. We can infer from the passage that the melody played by the author was ____. A. moving B. lovely C. so-so D. beautiful 66. Which of the following statements is NOT true according to the passage? A. The author appreciated the two women’s help. B. Small help is also important when it is needed. C. A piano teacher invited the author to play the piano together. D. The author was moved to tears because of the beautiful music.
B There was a Roman general in the 3rd century BC named Regulus who always kept his word. This fact was well known even to Rome’s enemy—Cathage. Once, he lost a battle and was taken prisoner and sent to a Carthage prison for a period of time. Finally, his captors came to him with an offer, which they hoped would cause the Romans to give in, thus ending the war. They asked General Regulus to go back to Rome. They wanted him to tell the Romans that Carthage was winning the war and it was useless for Rome to continue fighting. They also said that if he refused to do as they asked, he would have to sail back to Cathage and serve as a prisoner of war in their prison. Since General Regulus was a man of honor, they knew he would keep his word and return to Carthage. Regulus set sail for Rome and on his arrival, he was immediately taken to the authorities (当局). He knew how the war was progressing from the enemy's point of view. He told the Romans that they should not give up but continue fighting, as it would only be a matter of time until Rome would win the battle over Carthage. So the Romans decided to continue the war effort. Large groups of soldiers were sent to battle due to General Regulus' suggestion. Regulus went home to see his wife and his children but only for a short time. With deep sorrow, he informed them that he had given his word that he would return to Carthage and to his prison. Though they wished he would stay, his family knew that he must keep his word and return. He returned to Carthage as promised but Rome soon won the war. 60. This passage mainly tells us that General Regulus was____. A. a determined man B. a man of his word C. loyal to his homeland D. a patient man 61. The underlined word “captors" (in Paragraph 1) probably refers to “____”. A. people who are taken prisoners B. people who have lost a battle C. people who have won a battle D. people who keep others prisoners 62. After General Regulus' visit to Rome, the Romans_____. A. continued the war B. made peace with Carthage C. gave in D. accepted their failure
第三部分：阅读理解（共两节，满分40分） 第一节（共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分） 阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出最佳选项。 第一节：阅读选择（计分30） A Do you sometimes argue about what seems to you to be simple fact? Do you argue whether it' s cold outdoors or whether the car in front of you is going faster than the speed limit? If you get into such arguments, try to think about the story about the six blind men and the elephant. The first blind man who felt the elephant' s trunk said it was like a snake. The second who felt the elephant's side said it was like a wall, while the third said it was like a spear as he touched the animal' s tusk. The fourth, who caught hold of the elephant's tail insisted that it was like a rope. The fifth man said it looked like a tree as he put his arms around one of the elephant' s legs. The sixth, who was tall and got hold of the elephant' s ears, said it was like a huge fan. Each man' s idea of the animal came from his own experience. So if someone disagrees with you about a "simple fact", it' s often because his experience in the matter is different from yours. To see how hard it is for even one person to make up his mind about a "simple fact", try this simple experiment. Get three large bowls. Put ice water in one. Put hot water in the second. Put lukewarm water in the third. Now put your left hand in the ice water. Put your right hand in the hot water. After thirty seconds, put both hands in the lukewarm water. Your right hand will tell you the water is cold. Your left hand will tell you it's hot! 56. What makes people think about simple facts differently? A. The fact that simple facts differ from one another. B. The fact that people have different experience in the simple facts. C. The fact that people often disagree with one another. D. The fact that it' s hard to make up one's mind about simple facts. 57. The writer's advice is____. A. we should never think about simple facts B. we should never judge something with a one-sided view C. we should not agree about simple facts D. we must learn from the six blind men 58. After reading the last paragraph, we may think of ____. A. Newton' s law B. Galileo' s theory of falling objects C. Einstein' s Theory of Relativity D. Marx' s On Capital 59. The main idea of this passage is ____. A. people often judge something according to his own experience B. people often agree about simple facts C. it's hard for a person to make up his mind about a simple fact D. you should not care too much about simple fact
