This means a

11、new cafe, a four-floor education wing and improved gallery space that can accommodate more visitors. The gallerys permanent collection includes works by Joan Mir, Henry Moore and Barbara Hepworth.Being Brunel, BristolTo celebrate the life and work of famous civil engineer Isambard Kingdom Brunei, Be

12、ing Brunei will open in March on Bristols harbourside. The museum will include a range of interactive and entertaining exhibits, including talking portraits of his friends and family and personal possessions, including an 1821 school report. It is a good place for families to strengthen connections.

13、Royal Academy of Arts, LondonThe RA reopens on 19 May for its 1th anniversary, following a 50m renovation (翻新) with a gallery and expanded exhibition programme. These will include three day-lit galleries, which will host exhibitions with a focus on contemporary art and architecture. The grand frontw

17、openings of some famous art museums.22（8分）Imagine that youre the creator and show runner of the newest comedy show on television. Only it isnt so popular yet, and your live Studio audience isnt giving you the big laughs the show deserves. Do you film the show all over again, hoping that this time th

18、e audience will laugh? Or is there another option for making a joke sound funnier than it was received?Sweeten(改善) the sound by adding a laugh track! “Sweetening,” or the addition of sound effects such as laughs, screams, and other audience-produced noises to the audio track of a TV show, has been u

19、sed since the 1940s to produce the appearance, or rather the sound, of an engaged and entertained response to a shows comedy. Laugh tracks came into existence as not only a solution, and sometimes replacement, for an unengaged live audience but also as a way to engage an at-home audience into a more

20、-traditional, public, and theaterlike experience. Adding a laugh track to a television show makes the viewers at home feel much less like theyre sitting on a couch staring at the television screen and much more like theyre in a room full of laughing happy people to varying degrees of success.Though

21、the art of sweetening has risen and fallen in popularity over the past 60 years, credit for its creation and continued use is owed to laugh-track pioneer and sound engineer Charles Douglass. Douglass was the first to develop, in 1953, a machine for producing “canned laughter”, accessible at the push

22、 of a button or pull of a lever (操纵杆). Despite being artificial, sensibly edited laugh tracks are found by television studios to bring about a positive audience response, as their use is usually accompanied by higher ratings and increased audience memory. Though some television audiences may disagre

23、e with the value of the laugh track, the cheerful and repetitive sound holds a permanent place in the history and future of television comedy.1、The author uses the first paragraph to .Aintroduce the topic “sweetening”Bseek solutions for the problemCpoint out a way of making comediesDarouse readers i

24、nterest in comedies2、What effect does a laugh track produce?AThe creation of a show.BFunnier sound in a show,CMore engaged live audienceDCommunication among TV viewers.3、Whats the authors attitude towards the use of the laugh track?ADoubtful. BPositive.CNeutral (中立的). DUncertain,4、What does the pass

25、age mainly talk about?AThe reason for using laugh tracks.BThe brief history of laugh tracks.CThe development of TV comedies.DThe way to improve television shows.23（8分） It was 2012, and somewhere on a cassava (木暑)and banana farm in rural Tanzania, there were four of us standing in a circle: me, two f

26、armers named Joyce and Elijah, and the former secretary general of the United Nations，Kofi Annan.Elijah and Joyce did most of the talking. They told us how this farm was unlike any they had worked on; how there were improved crop varieties and new tools to process the harvest. There was even a dayca

27、re centre near the farm. This way, women could spend more time selling what they grew* I rattled off (不假思索地说出)some questions. Do you sell your cassava only here一or do you ship it somewhere else? How far is the market? Have you seen a difference in your yields? Kofi, though, mostly listened.Later, af

28、ter we left the fields and walked towards the daycare centre where there was a bigger crowd, Kofi started talking. He was telling jokes, trying to put everyone at ease, and doing a very good job of it. The man had the deepest, most infectious laugh Ive ever heard and an incredibly commanding voice.

29、He sounded like an actor playing himself.Kofi and I had attended a lot of the same UN events, and hed visited our foundations offices in Seattle a few times, so Id seen him charm a room before. But this day on the cassava farm was different. He was completely at home here. I suppose I shouldnt have

30、been surprised: Kofi Annan, of all the world leaders I had met, had spent the most time thinking about how to help places like this farm and people like Joyce and Elijah.When my husband Bill and I started our foundation in 2000，we still had so many questions about the best ways to fight poverty and

31、disease, and Kofi, it seemed, already had the answers. That year, hed written a manifesto (宣目)about the UNs role in the 21st century. In its final pages, hed included a set of targets around poverty and disease reduction that he wanted the world to achieve by 2015. These became known as the Millenni

32、um Development Goals (MDG), and at first, critics dismissed them immediately. Cut extreme poverty in half? Stop the spread of HIV, malaria and TB, the three greatest killers in poor countries? At best, it was overly optimistic.Kofi wasnt satisfied with just setting the goals, though. He wanted to pu

33、sh the world to achieve them. No other secretary general was so able to connect the UNs heart with its brain, its mission to lift up the sick and the poor with an effective plan for doing so. He was a master，too, at bringing world leaders along for the ride.Today, there are 27 million people alive w

34、ho would have otherwise died from HIV-related illness, TB or malaria And they live, in large part, because Kofi gathered the world to establish the Global Fund, which pays for medicines and things that prevent those diseases from spreading, such as mosquito nets. The world met its goal of halving th

35、e global poverty rate by 2015; in fact, it did so five years ahead of schedule, in 2010. “Development experts，” one observer wrote, “are still rubbing their eyes.When he received the Nobel Peace Prize in 2001，Kofi said that “todays real borders are not between nations, but between the powerful and p

36、owerless”. He saw Africas small farmers as part of the latter camp and wanted to give them a way to lift themselves out of poverty. This was what led us to that cassava farm back in 2012.I remember that after our visit that day, Kofi thanked me for the foundations work. He was generous in his praise

37、，and then he gave me a nickname. “Mama Melinda， he called me.It was a term of respect, typically given to an elder, and I felt honored but surprised. Mama Melinda? If there was one person who deserved such an honour, I thought it wasnt me.1、Kofi Annans inspection of the farm is mentioned to .Aintrod

38、uce the carefree lifestyle of African peopleBillustrate his close relationship with African farmersCemphasize the gravity of poverty in African countriesDshow his concern for the poverty-relief work in Africa2、We can know from the passage that the MDG .Afailed to win support from leaders of the worl

39、dBwas too ambitious and optimistic to be successfulCfocused more on the goals than effective measuresDrevealed Kofi s extraordinary wisdom and capability3、What can we infer from the underlined part in Para.7?AIt was hard to see where the hope lay.BThe success of the MDG was unbelievable .CThe develo

40、pment experts were moved to tears.DThe long-term commitment made people sleepy.4、We can learn from Kofis words in Para.8 that .Athe powerful people rule over the powerless massesBthe powerful nations often occupy their powerless neighborsCthe gap between the rich and the poor separates the world apa

41、rtDthe rich and the poor countries should compromise on border issues5、Which of the following can be used to describe Kofi Annan?ACharming, aggressive and stubborn.BAmbitious, easy-going and dutiful.CConservative, humorous and positive.DBureaucratic, sympathetic and generous.6、Whats the best title f

42、or the passage?AMama Melinda: a nickname with great honour.BThe UN: an organization full of different voices.CAfrica: a land blessed with considerable opportunities.DKofi Annan: a statesman devoted to global development.24（8分） Experts say there are about 6，500 languages spoken throughout the world.

43、But the United Nations guesses that about half of these languages are in danger of disappearing.One organization seeking to save world languages is Wikitongues. It has a simple goal: to provide the tools and support that people need to save their languages. When a language disappears, many other thi

44、ngs can go away as well. For example, parts of a communitys(社区的)culture. knowledge and identity can also be lost.Because of this, Udell. co-founder of Wikitongues. believes the process of bringing languages hack must be done by community members themselves. he said. There is no way an outside organi

45、zation can save someones language for them.”Wikitongues was started in 2016 as an open Internet collection of world languages. The self-described community is operated by volunteers from around the world. The collection is in the form of language videos that people speaking the languages add to the

46、Wikitongues website.Udell says saving languages does count. There are many examples of languages that disappeared but later returned to use. Hebrew went extinct(灭绝的)in the 4th century BC, and was revived(复兴)in the 1800s. Now once again，its the mother tongue of half of the worlds Jewish population.”A

47、nother example is a Native American tribe. The tribes language went extinct in the 1940s. But the tribe was able to successfully build up a language recovery in recent years.One of Wikitongues volunteers is Theron Kolokwe. who lives in Namibia. His native language is Subiya. which is spoken by about

48、 30.000 people.I want the world to know about my language,” Kolokwe said. But his goal goes beyond just sharing his language with others through video. He is also working to create a dictionary and language teaching materials that can be used in schools.1、What does Udell consider important in saving

49、 languages?AGathering language information.BRelying on the language speakers.CSetting up an outside organization.DCombining languages with culture.2、How does Wikitongues help save languages?ABy getting language videos from its speakers collected.BBy building an online dictionary for each language.CB

50、y creating a real-life community for its speakers.DBy requiring volunteers to learn new languages.3、What do the examples in paragraph 5 suggest?AThe achievements of Wikitongues.BThe influences of languages on life.CThe significance of saving languages.DThe difficulty with language recovery.4、What ca

51、n be a suitable title for the text?AWikitongues Is Struggling to Spread LanguagesBWikitongues Starts a Language Learning WebsiteCWikitongues Is Bringing Old Languages Back to LifeDWikitongues Seeks to Save Worlds Dying Languages25（10分） Science is finaly beginning to embrace animals who were, for a l

52、ong time, considered second-class citizens.As Annie Potts of Canterbury University has noted, chickens distinguish among one hundred chicken faces and recognize familiar individuals even after months of separation. When given problems to solve, they reason: hens trained to pick colored buttons somet

53、imes choose to give up an immediate food reward for a slightly later (and better) one. Healthy hens may aid friends, and mourn when those friend die.Pigs respond meaningful to human symbols. When a research team led by Candace Croney at Penn State University carried wooden blocks marked with X and O

54、 symbols around pigs, only the O carriers offered food to the animals. The pigs soon ignored the X carriers in favor of the Os. Then the team switched from real-life objects to T-shirts printed with X or O symbols. Still, the pigs walked only toward the O-shirted people: they had transferred their k

55、nowledge to a two-dimensional format, a not inconsiderable feat of reasoning.Ive been guilty of prejudiced expectations, myself. At the start of my career almost four decades ago, I was firmly convinced that monkeys and apes out-think and out-feel other animals. Theyre other primates(灵长目动物), after a

56、ll, animals from our own mammalian(哺乳动物的) class. Fairly soon, I came to see that along with our closest living relatives, whales too are masters of cultural learning, and elephants express profound joy and mourning with their social companions. Long-term studies in the wild on these mammals helped t

57、o fuel a viewpoint shift in our society: the public no longer so easily accepts monkeys made to undergo painful procedure kin laboratories, elephants forced to perform in circuses, and dolphins kept in small tanks at theme parks.Over time, though, as I began to broaden out even further and explore t

58、he inner lives of fish, chickens, pigs, goats, and cows, I started to wonder: Will the new science of food animals bring an ethical (伦理的) revolution in terms of who we eat? In other words, will our ethics start to catch up with the development of our science?Animal activists are already there, of co

59、urse, committed to not eating these animals. But what about the rest of us? Can paying attention to the thinking and feeling of these animals lead us to make changes in who we eat?1、According to Annie Potts, hens have the ability of_.AinteractionBanalysisCcreationDabstraction2、The research into pigs

60、 shows that pigs_.Alearn letters quicklyBhave a good eyesightCcan build up a good relationshipDcan apply knowledge to new situations3、Paragraph 4 is mainly about_.Athe similarities between mammals and humansBthe necessity of long-term studies on mammalsCa change in peoples attitudes towards animalsD
