May of that year in Berlin,the philosopher-artist Jonathon Keats“century cameras”cameras with a 100-year-long exposure(曝光)time will be brought back from hiding places around the city to have their results developed and exhibited.Six months after that,the Future Library in Oslo,Norway,will open its doors for the first time,presenting 100 books printed on the wood of trees planted in the distant past of 2014.As Katie Paterson,the creator of the Future Library,puts it:“Future Library is an artwork for future generations.”These projects,more than a century in the making,are part of a new wave of“slow art”intended to push viewers and participants to think beyond their own lifetimes.They aim to challenge todays short-term thinking and the brief attention spans of modern consumers,forcing people into considering works more deliberately.In their way,too,they are fighting against modern culture not just regarding money,but also the way in which artistic worth is measured by attention.In a similar fashion,every April on Slow Art Day,visitors are encouraged to stare at five works of art for 10 minutes at a time a tough task for the average museum visitor,who typically spends less than 30 seconds on each piece of art.Like the Future Library,the century cameras are very much a project for cities,since its in cities that time runs fastest and the pace of life is fastest.“Since I started living in a city,Ive somehow been quite disconnected,”Anne Beate Hovind,the Future Library project manager,who described how working on the library drew her back to the pace of life she knew when she was growing up on a farm in her youth,told The Atlantic magazine.1、According to the first paragraph,what will NOT happen in 2114?AA camera which was produced 100 years ago will be exhibited.BThe Future Library will be open to the public for the first time.CPhotos with a 100-year exposure time will be developed and exhibited.DBooks printed on the wood of trees planted in 2014

at works for 10 minutes at a time.3、What is the purpose of the wave of slow art?ATo advocate creating works of art slowly.BTo protect works of art from being damaged.CTo promote works of art for modern culture.DTo encourage people to consider works more deliberately.4、How would Anne Beate Hovind feel about the city life?AIts discouraging.BIts awful.CIts developed.DIts busy.23(8 分)One day the employees of a large company in St Louis,Missouri returned from their lunch break and were greeted with a sign on the front door.The sign said,“Yesterday the person who has been hindering(阻碍)your growth in this company passed away.We invite you to join the funeral in the room that has been prepared in the gym.”At first everyone was sad to hear that one of their colleagues had died,but after a while they started getting curious about who this person might be.The excitement grew as the employees arrived at the gym to pay their last respects.Everyone wondered,“Who is this person that was hindering my progress?Well,at least hes no longer here.”One by one the employees got closer to the coffin(棺材)and when they looked inside it,they became speechless.They stood there,shocked and in silence,as if someone had touched the deepest part of their souls.There was a mirror inside the coffin.Everyone who looked inside it could see himself.There was also a sign next to the mirror that said,“There is only one person who can set limits to your growth:it is YOU.”You are the only person who can change your life.You are the only person who can influence your happiness and your success.You are the only person who can help yourself.Your life does not change when your family changes,when your friends change,when your boss changes,and when your company changes.Your life changes when you change,when you go beyond your limiting beliefs,when you realize that you are the only one responsible for your life.1、The writers purpose in writing the article is to tell us that .Athe

with its own set of problems.1.They know whos on a Mac and whos on a PC and whos going to spend more.Last year,US travel research company Orbitz tracked peoples online activities to test out whether Mac users spend more on travel than PC users.On average,Mac users lay out US$20-30 more per night on hotels and go for more stars,according to the Wall Street Journal.As a result,online travel sites show these users more expensive travel options first.To avoid inadvertently paying more,sort results by price.2.Their software doesnt always hook up to the hotels system.A guaranteed reservation is almost impossible to come by anywhere but the risk of your flight or hotel being overbooked increases with third-party providers.The middle-mans software isnt immune to system errors,so always call the hotel or airline to make sure your booking was processed.3.Dont be fooled by packages:Often,theyre low-end items grouped together.Ever notice how travel sites recommend a hotel,a rental car,and tour package all in one click?These deals usually feature travel that no one wants,like flights with multiple layovers.Check the fine print.4.You could miss out on loyalty points.Third-party providers can get between you and frequent flyer miles or points.Many hotel loyalty programmes dont recognize external sites,others award only minimum points and exclude special offers,like double points on hotel stays.5.Once your trip is purchased,youre on your own.An online travel agency cant provide assistance the same way an agent can if a flight is cancelled or a room is substandard.Basically,when you arrive at the airport or hotel,youre just another client who booked at the lowest rate.1、Which of the following is TRUE?AThird-party providers can ensure your reservation.BMac users are likely to spend more money than PC users.CAn online travel agency functions the same as an agent.DPackages usually provide travelers with satisfactory programmes.2、Whats the purpose of the passage?ATo encourage readers to book a trip on an online travel site.BTo make an advertisement about several travel sites online.CTo convince readers not to book a trip on an online travel site.DTo warn readers of some problems with booking trips online.25(10 分)Everyone has their favourite scenes and characters in Harry Potter books and films One of the most memorable scenes for many came early on in the series In Harry Potter and the Sorcerers Stone,the owls began to send letters to Harry inviting him to Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry Owls were then mentioned frequently in the books and created

each year in Indonesias bird markets They cost between 10 and 30 This is affordable for most families where the parents work Most of the owls have been taken from the wild and do not live for very long once they have been caught Not everyone is happy about the situation,including the Harry Potter author,JK Rowling She said,If anybody has been influenced by my books,to think an owl would be happiest shut in a small cage and kept in a house,I would like to take this opportunity to say as forcefully as I can,you are wrong!1、What purpose does Paragraph 1serve?ATo bring up the topic BTo
