If you are a painting lover, you shouldn’t miss the following four famous masterpieces which have stood the test of time.
The Arnolfini Portrait
Jan van Eyck’s Arnolfini Portrait, an oil painting on wood produced in 1434, in which a man and a woman hold hands with a window behind him and a bed behind her, is undoubtedly one of the masterpieces in the National Gallery, London. This painting is as visually interesting as it is famed. It is also an informative document in fifteenth-century society, through Van Eyck’s heavy use of symbolism—while husbands went out to engage in business, wives concerned themselves with domestic duties.
The Starry Night
Vincent van Gogh painted The Starry Night, oil on canvas, a moderately abstract landscape painting of an expressive night sky over a small hillside village, during his 12-month stay at the mental hospital near Saint-Rémy-de-Provence, France between 1889 and 1890. When the Museum of Modern Art in New York City purchased the painting from a private collector in 1941, it was not well known, but it has since become one of Van Gogh’s most famous works.
The Harvesters
The Harvesters is an oil painting on wood completed by Pieter Bruegel the Elder in 1565. It depicts the harvest time which most commonly occurs within the months of August and September. Nicolaes Jonghelinck, a merchant banker and art collector from Antwerp, commissioned this painting. The painting has been at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City since 1919.
Guernica
Guernica, a large black-and-white oil painting, was painted by the Cubist Spanish painter, Pablo Picasso in 1937. The title “Guernica” refers to the city that was bombed by Nazi planes during the Spanish Civil War. The painting depicts the horrors of war and as a result, has come to be an anti-war symbol and a reminder of the tragedies of war. Today, the painting is housed at the Museo Nacional Centro de Arte Reina Sofaí in Madrid.
21. Which of the following paintings was produced earliest
A. The Arnolfini Portrait. B. The Starry Night.
C. The Harvesters. D. Guernica.
22. What do we know about the painting The Starry Night
A. It was painted on wood in oil. B. It described the painter's life in hospital.
C. It wasn't widely recognized before the 1940s. D. It was given away to the museum .
23. Who created the painting representing the massive catastrophe（灾难） the Nazism brought to people
A. Pieter Bruegel the Elder. B. Vincent van Gogh.
C. Jan van Eyck. D. Pablo Picasso.
B
Were you willing to take a trip if you could not use your smartphone A new tour company called Off the Grid is asking travellers to put their smartphones away and not even use them for photos. The company founder, Zach Beattie, is developing his business, using money he saved from a tech job at a mapping company. He’s hired guides for every trip but will help lead the first few himself.
The first trip is to Lisbon, Portugal, in July. It takes 7 to 10 days, with small groups of up to 16 people. Prices range from $1, 500 to $1, 650, including accommodations, meals and ground transportation. The plan includes at least three excursions （远足） and two social events, with an emphasis on unique experiences over bucket-list sightseeing. The tour also includes surfing lessons, yoga on the beach, a day of sailing and dinner with a local family.
“When you’re somewhere new, there’s a lot to see and a lot of cool and interesting people to meet,” Beattie said. “Your phone can distract you.” The phone ban won’t be enforced quite as strictly as it seems at first glance. “We want it to be voluntary,” he said. “We’re not collecting phones and throwing them in a locked trunk. It’s held by you, but put in your pocket, and you state your intentions for the week, whether that’s checking your social media once or twice a day or a total blackout.”
Tour-goers also get a “dumbphone” without Internet access that’s loaded with numbers for group leaders and other participants, both for emergencies and to promote socializing. Participants may bring regular cameras, but Beattie is hiring a photographer for each tour so there will be plenty of photos to remember the trip. Once the trip is over, participants will have access to those photos for use in social media posts.
24. What can be learned about Zach Beattie
A. He forbids tourists to take along cellphones. B. He is always guiding every trip personally.
C. He set up his business at his own expense. D. He used to earn his living in a tour company.
25. What do we know about the Lisbon trip
A. The trip features sightseeing. B. Participants live in homestays.
C. Air ticket is covered in the cost. D. Tourists experience water sports.
26. What does Zach Beattie expect the participants to do
A. Free themselves from their phones. B. Post their photos on social media.
C. Lock their phones in a trunk. D. Shift their focus onto dumbphones.
27. What can tour-goers do with the dumbphone
A. Take photos. B. Access the Internet.
C. Record the trip. D. Contact group member
C
We live in an era, where a vast ocean of information is available immediately, and the question arises: can one learn too much because no individual can grasp the entirety of human knowledge. However, there exists a phenomenon where too much learning can lead to inaction, a state of being flooded with too much information.
Consider a situation where you're eager to achieve a particular goal. You begin by conducting lots of research, diving deep into the subject. As you absorb more information, it paradoxically （矛盾地） feels like your understanding weakens. Each new concept or strategy reveals further layers, making the goal seem more complicated and out of reach.
This situation is a common trap: the endless pursuit of more information. Although gaining comprehensive knowledge is valuable, that is to say there’s nothing wrong with learning a lot, issues arise when this pursuit affects practical application. If learning continuously prevents you from starting, you’ll find yourself stuck, unable to achieve your desired outcomes.
A more effective approach to achieving goals is to strike a balance between learning and doing. Gather necessary information and then shift into action quickly, even if you feel somewhat unprepared. This is often the best way to learn, as hands-on experience provides insights that theoretical knowledge alone cannot.
The comparison with a baby learning to walk is a good example here. A baby doesn’t learn to walk by sitting and analyzing the process. Instead, it learns by attempting to walk, falling, and then understanding from each fall what works and what doesn’t. Through repeated effort, walking is eventually mastered. This method applies to goal achievement too. By engaging in action, learning from the outcomes, and adjusting accordingly, you gradually move closer to your goals.
In summary, while the pursuit of knowledge is valuable, it’s crucial not to let it become a barrier to action. Learning should be a stepping stone to doing, not an end in itself. It’s through the interaction of gathering
knowledge and applying it that we can truly progress towards our ambitions.
28. What stops people from achieving the goal
A. The confusion caused by too much information. B. The inability to find relevant information.
C. The distraction caused by unrelated tasks. D. The desire to learn basic concepts or strategies.
29. How do you achieve goals effectively according to the text
A. Sticking to continuous learning. B. Gaining as much knowledge as possible.
C. Taking practical action without delay. D. Focusing more on theoretical knowledge.
30. Why is the example “baby learning to walk” mentioned in paragraph 5
A. To compare different learning styles.
B. To illustrate learning through action and experience.
C. To show the significance of making mistakes.
D. To emphasize the necessity for parental guidance.
31. What can be a suitable title for the text
A. The Process of Absorbing Information B. The Harmony of Learning and Doing
C. The Pursuit of Advanced Knowledge D. The importance of Hands-on Experience
D
Designers are increasingly using different kinds of materials to produce products that do not harm the environment. Reused plastic bottles, wood, plant fiber, and even seaweed are being used in place of traditional materials for household goods and clothing.
Nina Edwards Anker's electronic lights look like ancient pieces of paper placed around LEDs. But a closer look shows that they are made of algae （海藻）. Anker came up with the idea while working on a doctoral research project at the Oslo School of Architecture and Design. She wants to find ways to mix design ideas with production and supply methods that do not use up resources.
Heimtextil is an international trade show for new textiles （纺织品） in Frankfurt, Germany. This year's show placed attention on making new products that came from reused materials. Olaf Schmidt, vice president of textile technology, said, “We'll see companies bespeaking how materials like nylon, plastic and metal can be reused—for example, carpet tiles （方块地砖） that can be reused at the end of their life as materials for new tiles.”
Fashion industry expert Veronika Lipar described the field's most important change—a move to sustainability （持续性）. She said, “The industry is trying to reduce ‘effect’ on the environment and no longer be the biggest polluter.”
Patagonia, North Face and Timberland are among the companies now using natural materials to produce goods. Italian company Frumat has developed a plant-based leather made from the waste created by apple juice makers. Two Mexican developers, Adrian Lopez Velarde and Marte Cazarez, have created a leather using cactus （仙人掌） leaves. Cactuses interest new material developers because they can live in hot climates and poor soil. Meanwhile, Pinatex helps support farms in the Philippines by using waste from the pineapple harvest to create material that is sold to makers of shoes, clothing and other products.
32. Why are Nina Edwards Anker’s electronic lights made of algae
A. To save resources. B. To cut down the costs.
C. To improve the lights’ quality. D. To produce more electronic lights.
33. What does the underlined word “bespeaking” in Paragraph 3 probably mean
A. Responding. B. Predicting. C. Refusing. D. Displaying.
34. What do Veronika Lipar’s words suggest
A. Fashion industry is not satisfying people's demands.
B. Fashion industry does great harm to the environment.
C. Fashion industry uses lots of environment-friendly materials.
D. Fashion industry has been developing too fast over the years.
35. How does the author mainly develop the text
A. By making comparisons. B. By providing examples.
C. By listing data and analyzing them. D. By asking questions and answering them.

阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
American football can be pretty competitive. From old opponents to fan drama, it’s just another part of the game. There have even been all-out violent fights in the name of defending your team. However, one high school football player Mario Hoefer showed that his love for the sport didn’t take priority over helping a person in need.
One afternoon in September, Charles City High School football team Mario was facing nearby New Hampton in a Friday football game. Mario was captain of his team and Carter was the quarterback of the opposing team.
It was really foggy and awfully hot. Filled with excited audience in the stands, the stadium felt like a heated steamer. Every player was sweaty even during the warm-ups. All this meant the game would be a tough one and a test or the mind and body of both teams.
Soon the game began and for the first three quarters, each team seemed to have a chance to win and they took the lead by turns. So exhausted was Mario running back and forth that he cramped （抽筋） up twice. Each time he got a cramp near the New Hampton sideline, his teammates came to his assistance and stretched his leg to ease the cramp. Though feeling uncomfortable and worn out, Mario soldiered on as Charles City protected a slim lead and New Hampton attempted a late comeback.
In the fourth quarter, Mario saw his teammates across the field break up a crucial pass intended for Carter. Mario was about to cross over to the other side of the field to high five his teammates when he noticed that beside him, Carter fell onto the ground, screaming in pain, his eyes wide open and a look of panic on his face. Carter grabbed his left calf （小腿肚）, trying to move his leg in different positions. Judging from Carter's desperate expression, Mario realized Carter was possibly experiencing an unbearable cramp just as he himself had gone through minutes before. But the New Hampton players were farther away from the quarterback.
注意:
1. 续写词数应为150个左右；
2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
Mario knew what to do next. The photo was posted on social media.

（One possible version）
Mario knew what to do next. He bent over to check Carter. Having made sure that Carter was indeed merely experiencing a cramp, he knelt down on the ground and held his left foot, pulling it towards himself to relieve Carter’s pain. Meanwhile, he comforted Carter, “Take it easy, bro. You’ll be all right soon.” Gradually, Carter’s panicked and painful expression began to soften. When his teammates and trainer made it to him, he had recovered. Carter rose to his feet, giving Mario a big hug to express his heartfelt gratitude. The game continued, nobody realizing the moment had been captured by a viewer in the stands.
The photo was posted on social media. Surprisingly, it received a flood of supportive responses. Thousands of netizens sang high praise for Mario’s act of kindness. Many thought what he did showed the true sportsmanship on the field and that the world needed to see more of such touching pictures. Mario didn’t expect his instinctive action would arouse such a big reaction, saying modestly, “It was no big deal to step in to stretch Carter’s leg out. It was more like a brotherly thing to help him out. " Mario and Carter, the two former opponents, have since become sincere friends, whose story convinces people of the true spirit of sports.

W: Good morning, everyone. Today I’d like to tell you about a movie I watched recently. I didn’t go to the cinema. Instead I watched it in my own bedroom because the movie is on Disney+ as a result of the COVID- 19 pandemic. The movie is about an unlikely but strong friendship. It is set in a beautiful town near the sea on the Italian Riviera. In the town there lives one young boy called Luka. Every summer, he loves going outdoors for adventure. One day, he makes friends with a boy he has never seen before. Luka shares his adventures with his new best friend. However, all the fun is threatened by a secret. His new friend isn’t a real person. He is a sea creature from another world just below the water’s surface. If you want to find out what happens to the two friends in the end, you can watch it sometime. That’s all about the movie. Thank you.
