A few minutes later, I 33 to put the kids to a test. Alex was chosen to start at the far left end of the bench, go up to each kid, say that kid’s 34 and then shake his right hand.

（共10小题，每小题2分，共20分）
A
Money! What do you see when you hear this word? A round metal coin? Paper money? Most likely you think of one or the other. The money we see or use is made of paper or metal. But the money of long ago was not at all like the money we use today.
Coins were not always made of metal. Soap was once used as money by the people of Mexico. Blocks of coal were used as coins by the people of England. Stone money was used on the Pacific Ocean island of Yap.
Even food was used as money. In Russia coins of cheese could be used to buy things. Koku—a unit of rice was used to buy things in Japan. Bricks of tea leaves were used as money in old China. The tea leaves were first boiled in water. They were then pressed into hard brick shapes.
Coins were not always round. The coins of old China were once in the shape of a knife. In another land coins were made in the shape of a fish. Square money is still used by the people of India. Money in shapes of rings is also still seen in some parts of the world, making it easy to carry.
Did you ever hear anyone say, “Money doesn’t grow on trees”? Is it true? Did money ever grow on trees? In Malaysia, people once made their own small trees out of tin. Small, round tin coins were joined to the trunk of the tin-money trees. People just broke off the money they needed. Wouldn’t it be nice if people had money trees of their own?
46. In which country was soap used as money?
A. Russia. B. England.
C. Malaysia. D. Mexico.
47. What shape of money is used in India?
A. A ring. B. A square.
C. A knife. D. A fish.
48. Which is the best title for the passage?
A. Metal Coins B. Funny Money
C. Money Trees D. Money Trouble
B
Mary Cassatt: American Artist
By the young age of sixteen, Mary Cassatt had decided she wanted to become an artist. Unlike the other women painters of the time, she did not want to be merely an amateur(爱好者) —she wanted to make a living with her art. From 1860 to 1862, Mary studied drawing at the Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts, which was near her home. What she really wanted to do, however, was go to Europe to study the works of famous painters, known as the “old masters”.
At first, Mary’s parents were opposed to the idea of her going to Europe, but she eventually changed their minds. Mary moved to Paris when she was 22 years old. After studying the old masters for a while, she began to believe that if she was to become a good artist, she would have to develop her own style.
In the early 1870s, the painter Edgar Degas asked Mary to join the group called the Impressionists. The Impressionists were a group of painters who had broken from the style of the old masters. Rather than painting only sitting or standing models, the Impressionists often painted from real life. Rather than painting in only dark colors, the Impressionists experimented with bright colors and the effect of light on color.
Mary Cassatt became quite successful as an Impressionist painter. In later years, however, she also worked in dry point. The process of dry point consisted of three steps. The first step was to draw a picture. She did this by scratching (刮) a sharp needle onto a sheet of copper (铜), called a plate. Next she applied ink to the plate with a roller. Then she pressed the plate onto a sheet of paper. The finished picture looks like a drawing, but it is actually made up of hundreds of tiny lines. Even later, Mary Cassatt began painting pictures of mothers with their children. These are some of Cassatt’s
best-known paintings. In the 1890s, Mary Cassatt had many one-woman art shows in both the United States and Europe. Her works were well respected and sold very well. She bought a summer home in the country outside of Paris, where she lived until her death in 1926.
49. Mary Cassatt wanted to set herself apart from many women painters by
.
A. living on her art works
B. scratching pictures into copper pieces
C. working with the Impressionist painters
D. traveling to London to study old masters
50. How was the style of the Impressionists’ paintings different from that of the
old masters?
A. The artists pressed paper on plates.
B. The painters used only dark colors.
C. The pictures showed scenes from real life.
D. The paintings were about mothers with children.
51. What is “dry point”?
A. A kind of printmaking.
B. A special type of paper.
C. A new way of mixing colors.
D. A method of scratching needles.
C
Farming is moving indoors, where the sun never shines, where rainfall is irrelevant (无关的) and where the climate is always right. The perfect crop field could be inside a windowless building with controlled light, temperature, wetness, air quality and nutrition. It could be in a New York high-rise or a complex in the Saudi desert.
The world already is having trouble feeding itself. Half the people on Earth live in cities, and nearly half of those—about 3 billion—are hungry or ill-fed. Food prices, currently increasing, are affected by dryness. Hoods and the cost of energy required to plant, harvest and transport it. And prices will only get more unstable(不稳定). Climate change makes long-term crop planning uncertain. Farmers in many parts of the world already are using water available to the last drop. And
the world is getting more crowded: by mid-century, the global population will grow from 6.8 billion to 9 billion.
To feed so many people may require expanding farmland at the expense of forests and wilderness, or finding ways to completely increase crop output.
Gertjan Meeuws has taken the idea of a greenhouse a step further, growing vegetables and house plants in enclosed(封闭的）and regulated environments. In their research station, water flows into the pans when needed, and the temperature is kept constant(恒定的). Lights go on and off, creating similar day and night, but according to the rhythm of the plant.
A building of 100 square meters and layers(层) of plants could provide a daily diet of 200 grams of fresh fruit and vegetables to the entire population of Den Bosch, about 140,000 people. Their idea isn't to grow foods that require much space, like corn or potatoes.
Here sunlight is not only unnecessary but can be harmful. Plants need only specific wavelengths(波长) of light to grow. Their growth rate is three times faster than under greenhouse conditions. They use about 90 percent less water than outdoors agriculture. And city farming means producing food near the consumer, and there’s no need to transport it long distances.
52. What can we mainly learn from Paragraph 2?
A．The climate is worse and worse.
B．The city people live a hard life.
C．The world has difficulty feeding its people.
D．The world’s population is increasing fast.
53. Which of the following is true of the environments in the research station?
A．The temperature is often changed.
B．Sunshine is in great need for plants.
C．Day and night depends on plants.
D．Air quality is controlled by plants．
54．It can be inferred from the text that Gertjan Meeuws’s farming ．
A. helps save sea water a lot
B. is highly adaptable(适应性强的)
C. is like the greenhouse agriculture
D. suits the production of corn
55．What is the text mainly about?
A. Development of indoor farming.
B. Great Revolution(革命) in farming.
C. Advantages of indoor farming.
D. Sunless, rainless indoor farming．
第二节：阅读下面短文和问题，根据短文内容和每小题后的具体要求，在答题卡相应题号后的横线上写下相关信息，完成对该问题的回答。答语要意思清楚，结构正确，书写工整。（共4小题，每小题2分，共8分）
The British are known for their sense of humour. However, it is often difficult for foreigners to understand their jokes. The main point to remember is that the British often use understatement.
Understatement means saying less than you think or feel. For example, if someone gets very wet in a shower of rain, he might say, ‘It’s a little damp (潮湿的) outside.’ Or, if someone is very impolite and shouts at another person, someone else might say, ‘She isn’t exactly friendly.’ Understatement is often used in unpleasant situation or to make another person look silly. Understatement plays an important part in British humour.
Another key to understanding British humour is that the British like to make fun of themselves as well as others. They often laugh about the silly and unpleasant things that happen to our everyday life when someone accidently falls over in the street. They also like to make jokes about people from different classes of society. They like to make jokes about their accents, the way they dress and the way they behave. What’s more, the British love to watch comedies(喜剧) about people who do not know how to behave in society. The comedies series Mr. Bean is a good example of this kind of humor.
Mr. Bean is the character created by British actor Rowan Atkinson in 1990. Mr. Bean doesn’t talk often, and instead he uses his body movement and facial expressions to make people laugh. Perhaps what makes Mr. Bean so funny is that he does things that adults in the real world cannot do. Mr. Bean is popular in many countries round the world because you do not have to speak English to understand the humour. Because of this, many people have become familiar with the British sense of humour.
56. What does the underlined word “understatement” in Paragraph 1 mean?
(答案不多于7个词)
57. What does Mr. Bean use to make people laugh? （答案不多于6个词）
