1918 hit， it didn't seem serious People who were infected felt the usual flu symptoms（症状）， which are chills， fevers， and feeling tired Those who got sick generally got better after several days Not

The new place was housed inside a huge transparent dome （透明的圆屋顶） It still didn't feel like home "I miss my friends，" Carina said sadly "And green grass and swimming， and everything I even miss the sound of rain on the roof（屋顶）" "Worst of all，" Carina continued， "my birthday is in two days， and I don't think Mom and Dad are planning anything special They're too busy" "She's probably right，" thought Collin Life here was very busy for scientists like their parents He doubted if they had time to plan a party And how could they anyway？ Things such as balloons and birthday candles didn't exist here They didn't even have enough materials to make a cake "Don't worry" Collin put an arm around Carina's shoulder Collin walked toward the agricultural center， where his mom worked He found her taking notes on some tall tubelike plants "What are those？" he asked "Bamboo plants，" said Mom "They're strong and grow fast They make good building materials" "May I have a piece？" "Sure" Mom handed one to him and made a note on her notebook The next day， Collin made tiny holes into the piece of bamboo and put small nails（钉子）into each hole He poured a handful of pebbles（鹅卵石） inside and covered the open ends Collin held the bamboo piece carefully as he hurried home He hid it behind his back and opened the front door To his surprise， Mom and Dad were home early from work Mom was carrying something that looked like a cake He looked closer and realized Mom had made a cake with dried apples and cinnamon（肉桂皮）sugarA real treat， on the Moon Collin handed his sister the bamboo rod "Happy birthday!" "What is it？" Carina asked， looking at it curiously "A rain stick，" said Collin "Whenever you turn it over， the pebbles fall around the nails and it sounds like rain" Carina turned the stick， and the room was filled with a sound like rain drumming on a roof "It's Moon Rain!" she said "It makes me feel like I'm home" She smiled at Collin and turned the rain stick over again（1）What may be the best title of this passage？ A Bamboo PlantsB Moon RainC Homesick Again!D United Family（2）What can we know from the passage？ A This passage is part of a science fiction written for scientific researchB The family moved to the new place in order to do some sightseeingC Their new home was on a dry land on the earth far from their old oneD Carina didn't think her parents would plan anything special for her birthday（3）Which of the following can best describe Collin？ A Careful and braveB Caring and creativeC Generous and intellectualD Romantic and popular15（8分）Looking at art should be like walking in the countrysideYou may not know exactly where you are，what bird is making that strange sound， or what the hill ahead of you is called，but that's part of the fun of itYou don't need to know these things to feel the beauty of nature Of course， if you do know your birds， trees and local history， a walk can be more attractive Yet such knowledge comes slowly It is picked up through experienceA true knowledge of nature cannot just be given to you through an app on your phoneImagine pointing your phone at the hill and getting plenty of information on screen Would that enrich your dreamy walk or ruin（毁灭） it？ Braggarts enjoy an app that allows them to show off their knowledge， for example， about baroque（巴洛克风格的） paintings In fact， apps in museums try to provide onscreen art history at once just to encourage people to read their phones instead of looking at paintings It is a mistaken idea that you need to be spoonfed（灌输） amazing facts about a work of art in order to appreciate（欣赏） it Our first experience of a work of art should be raw（自然状态的），unguided，and a bit puzzling， like following a path in the woods Later， you might choose to do some personal research into the work It can further increase your enjoyment and appreciation for it Yet it is best done when you're away from the art itself， so that even when you return， the work still feels fresh Anyone who thinks knowing some dates and details makes you better understand a work of art is wrong We all need to put aside our screens and our supposed knowledge when we look at art Let the paintings flow in； let your intuitions（直觉） fly off Art is a journey in the wilderness or it is nothing at all（1）What does the writer mainly want to say？ A Art is best with the help of appsB Art is best when hidden in mysteryC Art is nothing compared with natureD Art is nothing when details and facts are known（2）The underlined word "braggarts" refers to（指） A people who like showing offB people who like baroque paintingsC those who are good at appreciating artD those who are good at painting with phones（3）What's the main idea of Paragraph 4？ A How to appreciate a work of artB How to personal research into a work of artC How to keep your feelings about a work of art freshD How to be spoonfed 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 futureB A good piece of art is usually made about natureC Research work and intuitions can both help understand artD 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（5分） 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
