a sudden,fear came upon me.My wallet was gone.And I could only have left it one place:the G9 bus,from which I had gotten off minutes earlier and which was now speeding to some stops.The moment of realizing it was gone was followed by mental math.How much time and money would it cost to replace the credit cards,the drivers license,the expensive lipstick($55!).Two hours after I was back at my house,I heard a knock on the door.My husband answered while I sat in the dining room on the phone with a credit card company.Does Jennifer live here?I heard someone say.In her hand was my wallet,without a penny missing.She left before I could offer my gratitude to her.After I posted the story,I heard from her boyfriend,who identified the good citizen as Erin Ball,a 26-year-old girl working for a trade organization.Once I figured out her,I called to thank her.She said she spotted my wallet and thought that its more dangerous to go to a strangers house than leaving the wallet with the driver,but she still decided to take the chance.If I were in that situation,I would want someone to try to find me,she said.Ball doesnt find her actions particularly excellent.She added,Its not hard to do small things for people.After Ball found my wallet,she decided to post a picture of my drivers license online before going to my house,trying to see if anyone knew me.No sooner had she left my doorstep than I got emails from two neighbors who recognized my face,both offering to help me find my missing property.Ball found my house on a bitterly cold night for which I was extremely grateful.Looking back,Im not surprised someone had wanted to help a stranger.A warm current of honesty and harmony is running through this town.4.What do we know about the author according to

bus driver.D.Ball posted a photo of the authors driving license.7.Which of the following best describes Erin Ball?A.Humorous and kind.B.Generous and demanding.C.Honest and warm-hearted.D.Caring and outgoing.C Portraits as Art According to a dictionary,portraiture is“a representation(描绘)of a person,especially of the face by drawing or painting alikeness.”However,this definition neglects the complexities of portraiture.Portraits are works of art that engage with ideas of identity rather than just a likeness.These concepts of identity involve social rank,gender,age,profession,character of the subject,etc.It is impossible to copy all the aspects of identity.Therefore,portraits reflect only certain qualities of subjects.Portrait art has also undergone significant shifts in artistic practice.The majority of portraits are the outcome of current artistic fashions and favored styles.Therefore,portrait art is an art category providing various engagement with social,psychological,and artistic practices and expectations.Since portraits are different from other art categories,they are worthy of separate study.During their production,portraits require the presence of a specific person,or an image of the individual.In many instances,the production of portraiture has required sittings,which result in interaction between the subject(s)and the artist throughout the creation of the work.In certain instances,portrait artists depended on a combination of different involvement with their subjects.If the sitter cant sit in the studio regularly,portraitists could use his or her photographs.InEurope,during the seventeenth and eighteenth century,the sitting time was sometimes decreased by focusing only on the head.Theoretically,portraitists could work from impressions or memories when creating a painting,but this rarely occurred according to documented records.Nonetheless,whether the work is based on model sittings,copying a photograph,or using memory,the process of painting a portrait is linked with the models attendance.Furthermore,portrait painting can be distinguished from other artistic categories by its connection with appearance,or likeness.As such,the art of portrait painting got a reputation for imitation instead of for artistic innovation.Based on Renaissance art theory,portraiture was related to the level of a mechanical exercise as opposed to a fine art.Michelangelos well-known protest against portraits is only one example.During the nineteenth and twentieth centuries,the attitude to portraiture was critical.Even so,artists from around the globe persisted in painting portraits despite their theoretical objections.Picasso,for example,became widely-known forcubist still-life painting(立体派静物画)early in his career,but some of his early experiments in this new style were his portraits of art dealers.8.What does paragraph 1 mainly tell us?A.The changing definition of portraiture reflects shifting attitudes to it.B.Most portraits reflect artistic fashions and favored styles when created.C.Portraiture is a more complex art form than is defined in a dictionary.D.Portrait art shouldnt be seen as a distinct art category for its complexity.9.Which of the following is a characteristic of portraiture mentioned in paragraph 2?A.Portraiture typically takes much less time than other art forms.B.Portraiture often requires frequent cooperation between artists.C.Portraits show models in a more accurate way than other art forms.D.Portraits generally involve interaction between subjects and artists.10.According to paragraph 2,during portraits production,artists _.A.based their work on the subjects attendance B.preferred models photographs to their presence C.were more willing to use impressions or memories D.reduced sitting time to concentrate on a sitters head 11.Picasso is chosen as an example by the author because he _.A.altered the way other artists felt about portrait art B.created portraits in spite of his objection to portrait art C.depended on portrait art to establish a higher reputation D.had fewer theoretical objections to portraitures than others D One billion people in the world are short of water.How can this problem be solved.Some suggestions have been to desalinate ocean water or to build enormous water pipelines from areas where water is abundant.(Suggestions such as these prove extremely expensive when they are actually used.)One possibility that scientists are considering is pulling icebergs from either the North Pole or the South Pole to parts of the world with a water shortage.Although many questions must be answered before such a project could be tried,moving icebergs seems a reasonable possibility in the future.Engineers,mathematicians,and glaciologists from a dozen countries have been considering the iceberg as a future source of water.Saudi Arabia is particularly interested in this project because it has a great water shortage.Scientists estimate that it would take 128 days to transport a large iceberg(about 1/2 square mile)to Saudi Arabia.Yet the iceberg would be completely melted by the 104th day.Therefore,insulation would be essential,but how to insulate the iceberg remains an unsolved problem.The problems in transporting an iceberg are numerous.The first problem is choosing the iceberg to pull.The icebergs that form in the North Pole are quite difficult to handle because of their shape.Only a small portion extends above the water most of the iceberg is below the surface,which would make it difficult to pull.South Pole icebergs,on the other hand,are flat and float like table tops.Thus they would be much easier to move.How can a 200-million-ton iceberg be moved.No ship is strong enough to pull such enormous weight through the water.Perhaps several ships could be used.Attaching ropes to an iceberg this size is also an enormous problem.Engineers think that large nails or long metal rods could be driven into the ice.What would happen if the iceberg splits into several pieces during the pulling.Even if an iceberg with very few cracks were chosen,how could it be pulled through stormy waters.Furthermore,once the iceberg reached its destination,very few ports would be deep enough to store it.All of these problems must be solved before icebergs can become a reasonable source of water.Yet scientists estimate that it will be possible to transport them in the near future.Each year,enough icebergs form to supply the whole world with fresh water for a full year.In addition,icebergs are free and nonpolluting.As a solution to the worlds water problems,icebergs may be a workable possibility.12.What is a problem in transporting iceberg?A.The size of the iceberg.B.The colour of the iceberg.C.The salt in the iceberg.D.The movement of air and water.13.What is the author attitude towards transporting iceberg?A.Pessimistic.B.Objective.C.Optimistic.D.Unconcerned.14.What does the last paragraph mainly tell us?A.It is hard to use iceberg.B.Iceberg are a good choice.C.There are problems with iceberg.D.Man finds no other ways to solve water shortage.15.What can be a suitable title for the text?A.Shortage of water.B.Icebergs for water.C.Scientists and icebergs.D.Icebergscientists headache.第二节（共 5 小题；每小题 2 分，满分 10 分）阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项 This Way to Dreamland Daydreaming means people
