一、阅读理解。
A European Union program is letting blind people experience famous paintings for the first time.It uses threedimensional(3D)printing to recreate famous paintings so they can be touched.
One painting printed with the new technology is Gustav Klimt's“The Kiss”.It is a popular attraction at the Belvedere Museum in Vienna,Austria.The painting shows a man and a woman standing in a field filled with flowers.They are wearing gold robes and have their arms around each other.The man leans down to kiss the woman.
Klimt finished the painting in 1908.Until now,people who had trouble seeing could not appreciate the artwork.But thanks to the reproduction they can touch the piece and feel the ridges and depressions.Andreas Reichinger started making 3D versions of artwork in 2010.He said this reproduction was his most difficult project because the couple's robes are so detailed.
Dominika Raditsch is a blind museum visitor.She touched the reproduction.As she moved her hands around it she said,“Exactly,can you see these?There are so many details.”Raditsch said she could imagine what the original painting looks like when she touched the reproduction,“It's somehow round.You can feel it.You can feel it.It comes with it.And in many places it's so smooth.And then I think to myself:it probably shines too!”Raditsch said.
The Belvedere is not the only museum to have 3D versions of its artwork.Some of the pieces at the Prado Museum,in Madrid,Spain have reproductions that can be touched.But the piece in Vienna has one special part:it is made with widely available 3D printing technology.That means one day,blind art fans anywhere in the world could download the source files and print the reproductions themselves.
1.What is“The Kiss”?
A.A European Union project.
B.A popular painting.
C.A 3D technology.
D.A famous museum.
2.Why did Reichinger say this reproduction was difficult to finish?
A.The painting was reproduced detailedly.
B.The original artwork was made in 1908.
9
C.Blind art fans can't download the source.
D.The 3D technology is not available.
3.How did Raditsch feel when she first touched the reproduction?
A.Awkward. B.Puzzled.
C.Excited. D.Nervous.
4.What is the best title for the text?
A.A European Union Program for Museum Visitors
B.3D Printing Lets the Blind Experience Famous Paintings
C.How to Reproduce the Worldfamous Paintings
D.A Special Museum for Art Fans in Vienna,Austria
【解题导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章讲述了欧盟的一个项目使用3D打印技术重现名画,让它们可以被视障人士触摸到。
1.B 考查细节理解。从文章第二段的“One painting printed with the new technology is Gustav Klimt's‘The Kiss’.It is a popular attraction”可知,《吻》是一幅深受欢迎的画作。故选B项。
2.A 考查细节理解。从文章第三段的最后一句“He said this reproduction was his most difficult project because the couple's robes are so detailed”可知,Andreas Reichinger说《吻》是最难完成的作品,因为那对恋人的长袍细节很多。故选A项。B项“原画作制作于1908年”和C项“视障的艺术粉丝们不能下载资源”与该题的要求不符;D项错在“not available”,与文章第三段中的“started making 3D versions of artwork in 2010 ”不符。
3.C 考查推理判断。从文章第四段中的“You can feel it.You can feel it”可以推测出Raditsch“激动的”心情。故选C项。
4.B 考查标题判断。从文章第一段的内容可以看出,用3D打印技术让视障人士体验名画是文章的中心,下文是围绕该话题展开介绍的。故选B项。A项错在“Museum Visitors”太宽泛;C项“如何复制世界名画”只是文章的一部分,不全面;D项没有突出“3D printing”和“blind fans”,故排除。
二、单句语法填空
1.It is time that we ________ (adopt) different ways to solve the social problem.
答案:adopted/should adopt It is time that sb. did/should do sth. “到某人该做某事的时候了”。
2.In the past 5 years a great deal of money ________ (spend) improving the environment of the school.
9
答案:has been spent a great deal of修饰不可数名词,作主语时谓语动词用单数形式,由时间状语“in the past 5 years”可知应用现在完成时,且spend和money存在逻辑上的动宾关系,应用被动语态,故填has been spent。
3.Many people lost their homes and all their ________ (possess) during the war.
答案:possessions possession “所有物;财产”,常用复数形式。
4.We aim ________ finish the task by Friday.
答案:to aim to do sth. 为固定短语,意为“力求做某事”。
5.You'd better take account of your ability before ________ (attempt) to do such a business.
答案:attempting 该句中before为介词,故应填attempt的动名词形式作宾语。
6.Lincoln is regarded as one of the most inspiring ________ (figure) in the world.
答案:figures “one of+名词复数形式”表示“……其中之一”。
7.They appealed ________ the graduates in the whole department to go to work in the places where conditions are hardest.
答案:to appeal to sb. to do sth. “呼吁某人做某事”。
8.My job was to take care of these children until they could ________ (adopt) into a good home.
答案:be adopted 在本句中,adopt意为“收养”,且和they存在逻辑上的动宾关系,故用被动语态。
9.The thief tried to break away ________ the policeman, but he failed.
答案:from break away from “脱离;摆脱;挣脱”。
10.________ your ticket, I wouldn't be able to go to the concert tomorrow.
答案:Without 设空处所在句为without引导的含蓄虚拟条件句。

五、七选五
How to run international meetings
As more of us do business across cultures,it's best to prepare ahead of time before heading to the meeting table.Here are four rules for different countries.
Stick to the schedule
Where:Germany,Austria,Japan
We've all been to meetings that have a loose agenda,if any at all.They don't start on time and they seem to repeat. 1 Japanese are more likely to create a detailed agenda and pass out supporting documents several days before a meeting. 2 Meetings that run long in Germany are often taken to mean that the parties are not communicating efficiently.
3
Where:China,Malaysia,Singapore
Debating a topic can go against the traditional Chinese concept of“saving face”,which means avoiding any mistakes or actions that could bring embarrassment.Laughing at even an obviously amusing answer or pointing out a potential
9
mistake can spoil the entire meeting.
Enjoy the interruptions
Where:Italy,France,Spain
When Pascal Soboll meets with clients in Italy or Spain,he's no longer offended if they leave early or arrive late.Rather than attend the entire threehour meeting,he has learned that his colleagues there—and in some parts of France—attend based on their own timetable.
4 Rather than expect people to sit through his entire presentation,he makes it easier for them to turn up as needed.
Please,no small talk
Where:Finland,Sweden
In places like Finland and Sweden,where nonmeeting related discussions like chat about the weather can be regarded as a way to be off a formallyset agenda and as a waste of other people's time.
In some countries,including Finland,there are long pauses in the conversation. 5 These breaks are used as a way to process what the other person is saying without interrupting.
A.Not so in these countries.
B.Germans and Austrians are similar.
C.Don't even think about a brainstorm.
D.There's often no way to tell how things are going.
E.Don't try to fill them,though,with small talk or anything else.
F.What do the long silences,idle chitchat and serious faces really mean in context?
G.For Soboll,that means changing his own Germanbased expectations of client behaviour.
【语篇解读】 本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍了在不同国家如何成功地召开会议。
1.A [空处前两句介绍了常见的会议情况:时间安排松散,开会不准时,总是重复;结合空后的“Japanese are more likely to create a detailed agenda and pass out supporting documents several days before a meeting.”可知,日本人注意会议的细节,并在数天前就做好准备。据此可以判断,空处承上启下,说明并非所有的国家在开会时都会出现上述的情况:时间安排松散,开会不准时,总是重复。故A项正确。]
9
2.B [根据该部分中的“where:Germany,Austria,Japan”可知,该部分主要介绍德国、奥地利和日本的开会习惯;空前一句已经介绍了日本的情况,结合空后一句“Meetings that run long in Germany are often... efficiently.”可知,空处及下一句介绍德国和奥地利的开会习惯,故B项正确。]
3.C [根据空处位置可知,空处为该部分标题,是该部分的主旨;通读该部分可知,该部分第一句介绍了在中国开会应当认真讨论,以防发生尴尬,第二句介绍在开会时不要嘲笑有趣的答案或指出潜在的错误;据此可知,该部分主要介绍要严肃认真地讨论会议议题,就事论事,不需要在开会前有什么“头脑风暴”,故C项正确。]
4.G [根据上文中的“When Pascal Soboll...”和“Rather than... attend based on their own timetable.”以及空后一句可知,意大利人、法国人和西班牙人开会很随意,G项中的“Soboll”与该处相对应,故G项正确。]
5.E [根据该部分标题“Please,no small talk”和空前的“there are long pauses in the conversation”可知,选E项,E项中的“them”与“long pauses”对应。]
