masterpiece,have stood the test of time.The Arnolfini Portrait Jan van Eycks Arnolfini Portrait,an oil painting on wood produced in 1434,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 on fifteenth-century society,through van Eycks 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 nearSaint-Remy-de-Provence,Francebetween 1889 and 1890.When theMuseumofModern ArtinNew York Citypurchased the painting from a private collector in 1941,it was not well known,but it has since become one of van Goghs 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 occurred within the months of August and September.Nicolaes Jonghelinck,a merchant banker and art collector fromAntwerp,commissioned this painting.The painting has been at the Metropolitan Museum of Art inNew York Citysince 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 National Centro de Arte ReinaSofiainMadrid.1.What do the four paintings have in common?A.They are oil paintings.B.They are kept inNew York.C.They show different peoples lives.D.They are created during 10th century to 19th century.2.What do we know about The Starry Night?A.It

destruction of war?A.Jan van Eyck.B.Vincent van Gogh.C.Pieter Bruegel.D.Pablo Picasso.B Owning a dog is associated with a significantly lower risk of heart disease and death,according to a comprehensive new study published by a team of Swedish researchers on Friday in the journal Scientific Reports.The scientists followed 3.4 million people over the course of 12 years and found that adults who lived alone and owned a dog were 33 percent less likely to die during the study than adults who lived alone without dogs.In addition,the single adults with dogs were 36 percent less likely to die from heart disease.“Dog ownership was especiallyprominentas a protective factor in persons living alone,which is a group reported previously to be at higher risk of heart disease and death than those living in a multi-person household,”Mwenya Mubanga,a Ph.D.student at Uppsala University in Uppsala,Sweden,and the lead junior author of the study,said in a statement announcing its findings.The link between dog ownership and lower mortality(死亡率)was less pronounced in adults who lived either with family members or partners,but still present,according to the study.“Perhaps a dog may stand in as an important family member in the single households,”Mubanga added.“Another interesting findingwas that owners of dogs which were intended originally for hunting were most protected.”The study,which is the largest to date on the health relations of owning a dog,suggested that some of the reasons dog owners may have a lower risk of mortality and heart disease were because dog owners walk more.“These kind of epidemiological(流行病学的)studies look for associations in large populations but do not provide answers on whether and how dogs could protect their owners from heart disease,”Tove Fall,a senior author of the study and a professor at Uppsala University,said in a statement“We know that dog owners in general have a higher level of physical activity,which could be one explanation to the observed results,”Fall added.“Other explanations include an increased well-being and social contacts or effects of the dog on the bacterial microbiome(微生物菌群)in the owner.”Fall added that because all participants of dog owners in Sweden or other“European populations with similar culture regarding dog ownership.”4.Why did the researchers do the study related to 3.4 million peoples health and the dogs?A.To help Europeans,B.To find their association.C.To protect unhealthy adults.D.To reduce risk of heart disease.5.What does the underlined word“prominent”probably mean in

Hospital in Japan,employees greet newcomers,guide patients to and from the surgery area,and print out maps of the hospital for confused visitors.They dont take lunch breaks or even get paid.Why?Theyre robots!Robots have long worked in factories,helping to build cars and electronic appliances.But todays robots dont just do the jobs of peoplethey actually look and act a lot like people.Kansei,arobot from Japan,has a plastic face covering 19 movable parts.The robot can make 36 facial expressions in response to different words.Kansei shakes in fear at the word“war”and smiles when it hears the word“dinner”.Researchers in Europe are going even further with iCub,a“baby”robot.They are teaching it to speak and hold conversations.The ability to interact is crucial for robots that will one day work closely with humans says robotics professor ChrisAtkeson.“This will require robots to understand what you say and how you are feeling and respond with appropriate emotions,”he told WR News.Japanese scientist Minoru Asada agrees.He is building a robot called CB2 that acts like a real baby.“Right now,it only goes,Ah,ah.But as we develop its learning function,it will start saying more complex sentences and moving on its own,”Asada says.“Next-generation robots need to be able to learn and develop by themselves.”Intelligent robot will become more important in the future,as populations age and the number of human workers declines in many countries.“Were going to have many more old people and not enough young people to care for them,”says robot researcher Matthew Mason.“Technology can help the old people live at home longer,instead of going to nursing homes.”8.According to the passage,what jobs have robots already performed?A.Giving advice,answering customer questions and planning events.B.Producing factory goods,building cars and greeting customers.C.Greeting customers,producing factory goods and performing surgery.D.Building cars,driving passengers and providing directions.9.The second paragraph in this passage is mainly about?A.To explain how a robot works.B.To define what a robot is.C.To describe the functions of modern robots.D.To predict the future uses of robots.10.How does the Kansei robot react on the word“fire”?A.Use languages to warn nearby humans.B Back up its memory files.C.Activate an automatic fire alarm.D.Produce a worried look on his face.11.In Asadas opinion,the next step for robots will be to develop_.A.the ability to learn independently B.the ability to understand human commands C.the capacity to interact with humans D.the willingness to work together D Richard Campbell is a secondary school student.He is15 years old.He lives in a small town in the north ofEngland.Every morning,he gets up at eight oclock,puts on
