C“Whats wrong,Carina?”Collin asked.“Homesick again?”His sister nodded.“Yeah,me too.”Collin sighed(叹息).Their family had moved to the new place nearly four months ago.The new place was housed inside a huge transparent dome(透明的圆屋顶).It still didnt feel like home.“I miss my friends,”Carina said sadly.“And green grass and swimming,and everything.I even miss the sound of rain on the roof(屋顶).”“Worst of all,”Carina continued,“my birthday is in two days,and I dont think Mom and Dad are planning anything special.Theyre too busy.”“Shes probably right,”thought Collin.Life here was very busy for scientists like their parents.He doubted if they had time to plan a party.And how could they anyway?Things such as balloons and birthday candles didnt exist here.They didnt even have enough materials to make a cake.“Dont worry.”Collin put an arm around Carinas shoulder.Collin walked toward the agricultural center,where his mom worked.He found her taking notes on some tall tube-like plants.“What are those?”he asked.“Bamboo plants,”said Mom.“Theyre strong and grow fast.They make good building materials.”“May I have a piece?”“Sure.”Mom handed one to him and made a note on her notebook.The next day,Collin made tiny holes into the piece of bamboo and put small nails(钉子)into each hole.He poured a handful of pebbles(鹅卵石)inside and covered the open ends.Collin held the bamboo piece carefully as he hurried home.He hid it behind his back and opened the front door.To his surprise,Mom and Dad were home early from work.Mom was carrying something that looked like a cake.He looked closer and realized Mom had made a cake with dried apples and cinnamon(肉桂皮)sugar.A real treat,on the Moon.Collin handed his sister the bamboo rod.“Happy birthday!”“What is it?”Carina asked,looking at it curiously.“A rain stick,”said Collin.“Whenever you turn it over,the pebbles fall around the nails and it sounds like rain.”Carina turned the stick,and the room was filled with a sound like rain drumming on a roof.“Its Moon Rain!”she said.“It makes me feel like Im home.”She smiled at Collin and turned the rain stick over again.29.What may be the best title of this passage?A.Bamboo PlantsB.Moon Rain C.Homesick Again!D.United Family 30.What can we know from the passage?A.This passage is part of a science fiction written for scientific research.B.The family moved to the new place in order to do some sightseeing.C.Their new home was on a dry land on the earth far from their old one.D.Carina didnt think her parents would plan anything special for her birthday.31 Which of the following can best describe Collin?A Careful and brave.B.Caring and creative.C Generous and intellectual.D.Romantic and popular.D Looking at art should be like walking in the countryside.You may not know exactly where you are,what bird is making that strange sound,or what the hill ahead of you is called,but thats part of the fun of it.You dont need to know these things to feel the beauty of nature.Of course,if you do know your birds,trees and local history,a walk can be more attractive.Yet such knowledge comes slowly.It is picked up through experience.A true knowledge of nature cannot just be given to you through an app on your phone.Imagine pointing your phone at the hill and getting plenty of information on screen.Would that enrich your dreamy walk or ruin(毁灭)it?Braggarts enjoy an app that allows them to show off their knowledge,for example,about baroque(巴洛克风格的)paintings.In fact,apps in museums try to provide on-screen art history at once just to encourage people to read their phones instead of looking at paintings.It is a mistaken idea that you need to be spoon-fed(灌输)amazing facts about a work of art in order to appreciate(欣赏)it.Our first experience of a work of art should be raw(自然状态的),unguided,and a bit puzzling,like following a path in the woods.Later,you might choose to do some personal research into the work.It can further increase your enjoyment and appreciation for it.Yet it is the best done when youre away from the art itself,so that even when you return,the work still feels fresh.Anyone who thinks knowing some dates and details makes you better understand a work of art is wrong.We all need to put aside our screens and our supposed knowledge when we look at art.Let the paintings flow in;let your intuitions(直觉)fly off.Art is a journey in the wilderness or it is nothing at all.32.What does the writer mainly want to say?A.Art is best with the help of apps.B.Art is best when hidden in mystery.C.Art is nothing compared with nature.D.Art is nothing when details and facts are known.33.The underlined word“braggarts”refers to(指)_.A.people who like showing off B.people who like baroque paintings C.those who are good at appreciating art D.those who are good at painting with phones 34.Whats the main idea of Paragraph 4?A.How to appreciate a work of art.B.How to do personal research into a work of art.C.How to keep your feelings about a work of art fresh.D.How to be spoon-fed amazing facts about a work of art.35.What can we infer(推断)from the passage?A.Because of apps,art will be ruined in the future.B.A good piece of art is usually made about nature.C.Research work and intuitions can both help understand art.D.Museums are not supposed to allow the use of mobile phones.四、阅读表达（共 5 小题；每小题 1 分，满分 5

entertainment.Created in China more than four thousand years ago,Go was introduced to Korea and Japan over 1,000 years ago,and has since become a favorite activity of many people there.Today,Go still serves as a way of cultural exchange among the people in may Eastern and Western countries,as players in these countries take part in many international games every year.A game of Go has many implications(含义)for real life.It represents a square world of round pieces in black and white.There are 181 black pieces and 180 white ones in total.While the board is fixed,the pieces can be placed in millions upon millions of different ways,just as life in the real world may take many turns.The proper placement of each tiny Go piece is similar to how one might solve a difficult problem in life.Go pays much attention to peaceful competition and coexistence(共存).In a game of Go,the players do not wipe out(消灭)each others pieces.Instead,they simply try to win a larger share of space while allowing the other side some space.However,in chess and Chinese chess,the players try to wipe out as many of the other sides pieces as possible.The one who forces the other sides commander(主帅)into a dead corner then wins the game.Therefore,Go carries deeper cultural and philosophical connotations(哲学内涵).Wu Qingyuan(1914-2014),a modern Go talent,believed that the final purpose of the game was to try to achieve peace.Instead of fighting as enemies,the two players work together to play an excellent game.Title:A game of wisdom and peace Main Parts Detailed Information Introduction The game of Go
