My children, then aged three and five, were just entering kindergarten and school life. At 65, George had recently retired and was seeking a rewarding hobby. For both of us, painting was it and we met at a local painting class. Thus began a friendship that was to last until the day he died. George arrived in Australia as an immigrant from Britain with his wife and two children. He worked hard, played hard, and had an opinion about everything. He adored his wife, his family, and his friends. A slim and energetic man, George took pride in his fitness and walked three kilometers every day. As the only male in a painting class full of women, George ruled the roost and we were his hens. He adored his singular role and looked after his brood(一窝雏鸡) with the same attention he gave to everything. He took to painting with great passion(热情), even transforming the spare bedroom into a studio. A studio! His painting equipment was comprehensive. Ever practical, George housed many of these items in a red metal tool box. After the completion of the course, we still kept in touch. One day when George was about 80 years old, he asked me to come to his house. George explained that he was giving up painting because of his illness and he gave away all his stuff to me. I still use much of his equipment today. The most treasured thing is the red tool box. The original shop sticker is still firmly in place although the price has long since worn off. But thats all right because to my mind friendship is beyond price.24. Why did the author go to a painting class? A. To enjoy school life again.B. To make some new friends.C. To accompany her children.D. To do something interesting.25. What might the author think of George?A. Reliable and caring.B. Proud and sensitive.C. Talented and honest.D. Smart and adventurous.26. Why did George ask the author to his home?A. To tell her about his disease. B. To invite her to enjoy his paintings.C. To give his painting equipment to her. D. To ask her something about his studio.27. What is the best title for the text?A. The red tool boxB. A friend is a second selfC. Have fun in painting classD. An old mans life after retirementC Microsoft PowerPoint is the worlds most common presentation tool. It emerged from software company Forethought Inc. in the 1980s. Bob Gaskins was the man behind it.“I knew in the early 80s that there were as many as a billion, a thousand million presentation slides being made per year just in America,” Gaskins says, “but they were all made by hand and almost nobody was using computers to do them.”“It was clear to me that here was a huge application worth billions and billions of dollars a year that could be done on computers as soon as there was a revolution in the kinds of computers that we had.”Gaskins was onto something, but it was a hard sell at the time. The software wouldnt run on any existing personal computers. Anyone wanting to use it had to buy a new machine. Even so, people bought personal computers for the first time in order to be able to use PowerPoint, says Wired magazine journalist Russell Davies.Davies explains that before PowerPoint, people used slides to convey information to groups-but anyone creating a presentation had to send away to get their materials made. It took a long time to do, was difficult to make changes and because it was so expensive, only the most senior people in an organization got to do it.“PowerPoint,” Davies says, “made it possible for everyone in an organization to stand up and say their piece.”PowerPoint has helped turn us all into presenters-but its also been accused of over-simplifying ideas and distracting(干扰）us from clear thinking.Sarah Kaplan is a management professor at the University of Torontos Rotman School of Management. She has noticed that, rather than people asking for new analysis or insights in meetings, they were asking for more PowerPoint slides.Kaplan says that some CEOs, such as Amazons Jeff Bezos, have banned its use. “ He felt, and I think many people feel, that PowerPoint became such an object of the process that they lost the ideas inside of it and that is the risk.”28. What drove Bob Gaskins to develop PowerPoint? A. His personal needs at the office. B. The support from Forethought Inc. C. The great potential market demand. D. His interest in science and technology.29. What was the problem with Bob Gaskinss PowerPoint in the 1980s?A. It was very expensive. B. It was very difficult to use. C. It couldnt be used on old computers.D. It couldnt satisfy young peoples needs.30. What might be Russell Daviess attitude to PowerPoint? A. Critical.B. Appreciative.C. Cautious. D. Contradictory.31. Why does Jeff Bezos ban the use of PowerPoint? A. It fails to solve practical problems. B. It fails to convey messages effectively.C. It makes something valuable unavailable.D. It results in creative thinking getting ignored.D “Were counting on you and your raised hands to bid for the street art selected by the M.B.A. students and go home victorious!” said Arnaud Oliveux at the French auction (拍卖) house Artcurial.Mr. Oliveus walked theatrically across the stage and officially opened the second edition of the charity auction Street for Kids. The event is organized by 33 students who major in art management, with a focus on the international art market, at the Icart School of Arts.Over the past six months, as their final project, the fifth-year students planned their first public auction. They persuaded famous street artists and galleries to donate pieces; they drafted the communication strategy; they designed and built the exhibition space.Julien Garcia-Toudic, 22, was among the students who charged with collecting the donated street art. He said, “It was for charity and it would be financing childrens access to art.”Their goal was to raise money for the Musee en Herbe, whose mission(使命) is to bring art to children.Founded more than 40 years ago, the 6400-square-foot space provides exhibit-related activities for those “between the ages of 3 and 103.”“Were a little alien in the world of art,” said Sylvie Girardet, the museums director. She was a graduate in art history and archaeology(考古学) when she created the museum with two friends. At the time, she had been shocked to learn that the majority of the French population did not visit museums.“Childhood is when a lot of core(核心的) values are formed,” said Ms. Girardet. “ If we introduced children into the world of art, then as future adults they wouldnt have this mental block.”“Young parents who came to visit the museum when they were little now come back with their children,” Ms Girardet said. “ It means they remember and they keep fond memories of their time here.”32. What was Arnaud Oliveus doing at the beginning of the text?A. Giving a lecture. B. Selling artworks. C. Performing a play. D. Organizing an exhibit.33. What can we learn about the organizers of the event?A. They are students from an art school.B. They donated artworks to the auction.C. They have planned several public auctions. D. They have prepared for the event for a year.34. What is the Musee en Herbe trying to do?A. Protect street art.B. Gain support from art schools.C. Bring art to children.D. Provide art courses for students.35. How might Ms. Girardet feel when talking about the museum?A. Cautious.B. Anxious.C. Curious.D. Proud.第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。Last week after my motorcycle crashed on the freeway, I wanted only two simple things from technology: to call 911 and to tell loved ones where I could be found. 36 When she opened Google Maps, she could see precisely where I was.For years, tech companies have offered different ways for people to tell one another where they are. 37 If used carelessly, location tracking may hurt your privacy. But used thoughtfully, it can be a powerful and efficient communication tool. 38 * When you make plans to meet friends somewhere like a movie theater, get in the habit of sharing your location for a short duration, like an hour. This way you can skip saying things like “I am on the way” or “Im running a few minutes behind” because people can simply follow you on the map.* 39 Location sharing can be useful for being considerate of your partners time and space. For example, I am less likely to text my partner when I see she is at the office or driving on a freeway, but I will text when I see she is at the grocery store to ask her to pick something up.* Next time you plan an event at a large outdoor space, do your friends a favor: 40 Wandering around aimlessly in a crowded open space can be annoying.A. Here are my suggestions for the best time to use it.B. For safety reasons, avoid sharing your location publicly.C. Use an app to share your current location so they can find you.D. Consider sharing your location occasionally with your partner.E. There are many ways for third parties to find out where we are.F
