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 shows the scenery of a small hillside village.B.Van Gogh produced it when living in his home.C.A private collector gave it away to the museum.D.It was not famous before 1941.3.Whose painting shows the destruction of war?A.Jan van Eyck.B.Vincent van Gogh.C.Pieter Bruegel.D.Pablo Picasso.B At any moment,about half the worlds population is wearing denim（牛仔布）clothes.But few realize tiny bits of denim have been adding up to a surprising amount of pollution in water,as a new study shows.Sam Athey,one of the studys authors,says,“Even though denim is made of a natural materialcotton,it contains chemicals.”Cotton fibers were treated with many types of chemicals,she notes.Some improve its durability and feel.Others give denim its distinctive blue color1.Athey and her team washed jeans and found that about 50,000 microfibers came off from each pair per wash.Not all of those fibers make their way into the environment.Wastewater treatment plants catch about 83 to 99 percent ofthem.Catching 99 percent may sound pretty good.But one percent of 50,000 is still 500 fibers per wash.And since every pair of jeans is washed again and again,it still adds up to lots of microfibers entering the water environment.Denim microfibers showed up in sediment（沉淀物）from the Great Lakes.More of these fibers polluted a series of shallow lakesin southern Ontario.They even turned up in sediment from the Arctic Ocean in northern Canada.The team found denim accounted for 12 to 23 percent of microfibers in the sediment.There were other microfibers too.But the team focused on denim because so many people wear jeans.“Everyone wears jeans so they could be our largest input of microfibers into our streams and soils,”Athey says.“An easy way to limit that is by washing our jeans less often.”Athey grew up thinking she should wash her jeans after wearing them every couple of times,but most jean companies recommend washing them no more than once a month.“The solution is not that you shouldnt wear jeans,”she says.“We need to buy fewer denim clothes and only wash them when they truly need it.”4.Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?A.Chemicals are contained in natural cotton.B.Chemicals can make denim color1 ful.C.Chemicals prevent fibers from falling.D.Chemicals can make the life of denim longer.5.What does the underlined word“them”in Paragraph 3 refer to?A.Denim.B.Sediment.C.Microfibers.D.Chemicals.6.What does the author mainly want to tell us through Atheys words?A.To avoid wearing jeans.B.To reduce denim consumption.C.To wash jeans more often.D.To limit input in denim production.7.In which section of a magazine might the text be found?A.Science.B.Entertainment.C.Tourism.D.Geography.C In a recent survey of 2000 Americans,housecleaning was shown to have some mood-boosting effects but that doesnt mean everybody is willing to do it.The majority of respondents(受访者)said cleaning gave them a sense of accomplishment(65%)and helped them clear their mind(63%).Half of these adults said they are most often motivated to clean when theyre happy.In fact,63%of those surveyed find the experience of cleaning to be relaxing-even more so than getting fresh air(61%).But thats not the only reason people clean.A big 70%admitted that tidying their home was a way of putting off having to do other things,with the average procrastinator(拖延者)using that trick four times a week.The survey showed that 86%of respondents do feel on top of their housework,but the last deep clean of their kitchen happened over a week and a half ago.Thats no surprise because the kitchen is most terrible of all.Conducted by OnePoll on behalf of DishFish,the survey investigated peoples attitudes toward dirty dishes and how they get through tricky task.More than two-thirds of people(69%)let their dishes pile up between washings with 20%saying“always”letting them be placed in the sink,which left them feeling stressed.More than any other room,the kitchen was rated as“very difficult”to cope with.And most people enjoy cleaning their toilet or taking out the garbage more than washing dishes by hand.How do they get through it?66%listen to music while they clean.72%have a best-loved song that they sounded while tidying up their home,with“Uptown Funk,”“Read All About It”and“Work”being the three favorite tunes on Americas cleaning playlist.8.What is the result of the survey?A.Housecleaning may contribute to a good mood to some extent.B.Housecleaning may strengthen peoples willingness to volunteer.C.Housecleaning may cause anxiety and concern for some people.D.Housecleaning may improve peoples motivation to other housework.9.What is the top reason why people undertake housecleaning?A.They can entertain themselves.B.They can take in fresh air.C.They

five-year-old daughter.One night after supper the little girl was ill with a serious stomachache,and John Smothers hurried downtown to get some medicine.He never came back.The mother was very sad over

around,the little girl also married in time,and she also had a little girl of five years.She still lived in the same house where theydweltwhen her father had left and never returned.By an unbelievable coincidence her little girl was taken with the same stomachache on the same night of the disappearance of John Smothers,who would now have been her grandfather if he had been alive.“I will go downtown and get some medicine for her,”said John Smith(for it was he whom she had married).“No,no,dear John,”cried his wife.“You,too,might disappear forever,and then forget to come back.”So John Smith did not go,and together they sat by the bedside of little Pansy.After a little while Pansy seemed to grow worse,and John Smith again wanted to go for medicine,but his wife would not let him.Just then,the door suddenly opened and an old man with long white hair entered the room.“Hello,here is grandpa,”said Pansy.She had recognized him before any of the others.The old man drew a bottle of medicine from his pocket and gave Pansy a spoonful.She got well immediately.“I was a little late,”said John Smothers,“as I waited for a street car.”12.What happened after John Smothers disappeared?A.His daughter took some medicine.B.His wife left for San Antonio.C.Pansy immediately had a stomachache.D.John Smith went for medicine.13.What does the underlined word“dwelt”in paragraph 2 probably
