Japanese． B. French． C. Greek． D. Italian．．‎ ‎（2）What can we learn from the passage？________‎ A. The same word in two languages always has the same meaning．‎ B.

The reason why it was so deadly．‎ B. The reason why it ended．‎ C. The change it caused to medical research．‎ D.

Art is best with the help of apps．‎ B. Art is best when hidden in mystery．‎ C. Art is nothing compared with nature．‎ D. Art is nothing when details and facts are known．．‎ ‎（2）The underlined word "braggarts" refers to（指）________．‎ A. people who like showing off B. people who like baroque paintings C. those who are good at appreciating art D. those who are good at painting with phones．‎ ‎（3）What's the main idea of Paragraph 4？________‎ A. How to appreciate a work of art．‎ B. How to personal research into a work of art．‎ C. How to keep your feelings about a work of art fresh．‎ D. How to be spoon﹣fed amazing facts about a work of art．．‎ ‎（4）what can we infer（推断） from the passage？________‎ A. Because of apps， art will be ruined in the future．‎ B. A good piece of art is usually made about nature．‎ C. Research work and intuitions can both help understand art．‎ D. Museums are not supposed to allow the use of mobile phones．‎ 四、阅读表达（共1小题；每小题5分，满分5分）阅读下面短文，并根据所读内容在文章后表格中的空格里填入一个最恰当的单词．‎ ‎16. The game of Go was one of the four greatest artistic types in Chinese culture． It is not only a competitive event of the mind，but also a board game of entertainment．‎ Created in China more than four thousand years ago． Go was introduced to Korea and Japan over 1， 000 years ago， and has since become a favorite activity of many people there． Today， Go still serves as a way of cultural exchange among the people in many Eastern and Western countries， as players in these countries take part in many international games every year．‎ A game of Go has many implications（含义） for real life． It represents a square world of round pieces in black and white． There are 181 black pieces and 180 white ones in total．While the board is fixed，the pieces can be placed in millions upon millions of different ways， just as life in the real world may take many turns． The proper placement of each tiny Go piece is similar to how one might solve a difficult problem in life．‎ Go pays much attention to peaceful competition and coexistence （共存）． In a game of Go， the players do not wipe out（消灭） each other's pieces． Instead， they simply try to win a larger share of space while allowing the other side some space． However， in chess and Chinese chess， the players try to wipe out as many of the other side's pieces as possible．The one who forces the other side's commander（主帅）into a dead corner then wins the game． Therefore， Go carries deeper cultural and philosophical connotations（哲学内涵）．‎ Wu Qingyuan（1914﹣2014）， a modern Go talent， believed that the final purpose of the game was to try to achieve peace． Instead of fighting as enemies， the two players work together to play an excellent game．‎ ‎ 10 / 10‎ Title： A game of wisdom and peace Main Parts Detailed Information Introduction The game of Go is known as one of Chinese greatest artistic types． It is a competition of the（1）________， and a game of entertainment as well．‎ History and importance ‎●Go was created over 4， 000 years ago in China and has（2）________throughout the world ever since．‎ ‎●Today， Go still plays an important（3）________in Cultural exchange．‎ Implications and value ‎●Go pieces can be placed in millions upon millions of different ways． In a（4）________way， people may meet with lots of difficult problems in life， and need to learn how to solve them properly．‎ ‎●Compared with chess， Go has deeper connotations since peace and competition coexist in a game of Go while（5）________the enemy's commander is the only purpose in chess．‎ ‎●The real meaning of Go is to achieve peace between two sides．‎ 五、词汇（共4小题；每小题1分，满分4分）A） 根据句子意思，用括号中所给词的正确形式填空， 每空填一词.‎ ‎17. ﹣Ann， is this umbrella________（you） or Jack's？‎ ‎﹣It's mine．‎ ‎18.
