Like all art of Maya, this vase exhibits highly religious symbols. Furthermore, the artists name is carved along the bottom of this piece in the form of a small white rabbit.Ceramics also served as reminders of ancestors and gods. The Flour De Lis Vase is a fine example of this. The water lilies are not only symbols of new birth and life-giving qualities, but a constant reminder of purity. On this vase, the water lilies are white, which is undoubtedly a sign of purity. The black background shows the sea, in which the lilies float.Furthermore, ceramics served practical functions in the Maya culture. Vases, which are quite commonly seen today, were used primarily to hold liquid chocolate and cocoa. Bowls were used to hold various maize (玉米) products. Maize was seen as the imaginary body of the Maize God and the ancient Maya thought that as one ate the maize or the body of God from the bowl, they actually became God. Plates were merely used for any object.Finally, Maya used depictions on ceramics to resurrect (使复活) family members and honor gods. Because they believe that they would come back to life with their names spoken or their figures drawn, the carvings and paintings on these ceramics played a vital role in Maya spirituality.Clearly, ceramics served a key function in ancient Maya society from dinner plates to acts of God.24. What do we know from the passage?A. The art of ceramic of the ancient Maya was instructed by Gods.B. The Vase of the Seven Gods was made by the people of Guatemala.C. The art of ceramic of the ancient Maya was the best in the world at that time.D. Naranjo is a well-known city of Guatemala at present.25. Which of the following is a characteristic of the art of Maya?A. Seven Gods are carved on a vase.B. A vase exhibits highly religious symbols.C. The artists name is carved on the top of a vase.D. There is a big white rabbit on a vase.26. The ancient Maya used the Flour De Lis Vase to _.A. remind them of their ancestors and godsB. hold water and grain or cook foodC. show the importance of new birth and lifeD. express peoples pure friendship and love27. The Maya carved names and figures of family members on ceramics to _.A. honor their family membersB. be remembered by their childrenC. draw the attention of the shoppersD. wish they would come back to lifeCHow many phone numbers can you remember by heart? Its probably fewer than you would like. Actually, youre not alone. Out of more than 1,000 Americans who were surveyed, more than half said that they couldnt recall the phone numbers of their friends and neighbors. And 44% said that they couldnt remember their relatives phone numbers. In their eyes, there is no point in filling their heads with phone numbers if theyre all stored in smart phones that are with them almost all the time.In fact, most people are suffering from a sort of digital amnesia. More than 90% of those surveyed agreed that they used the Internet as an online extension of their brains. Rote memorization was once an important part of modern education, but we just need a click or slide now. Thats making us worse at remembering things.Researchers found that when people expected to have access to information online, they were less likely to remember actual facts, but more likely to remember how to find them. As a result, we are already becoming one with our computer tools, growing into interconnected systems that remember less by knowing information than by knowing where the information can be found.However, some believe it isnt necessarily a bad thing maybe it gives them more chances to think through things. We certainly have access to more knowledge now than ever, even if it isnt all stored in our brains.Even so, I still believe that there are more risks to this new world of memory beyond losing our ability to recall some information such as who the 15th President was. That kind of information may always be a click away, but the important things are personal ones, like the way your parents smiled at your wedding. Its harder to recall or find online. If youre relying on yourself to keep track of those memories, they will be much more meaningful.24. Paragraph 1 is mainly used to_.A. serve as the backgroundB. introduce the topicC. explain new researchD. attract readers attention25. Whats the main cause of peoples suffering from digital amnesia?A. Dealing with too many things.B. Seldom thinking about questions.C. Relying on the Internet too much.D. The changes of their memories.26. What can be learned from paragrpahs 3&4?A. People can receive less information using internet.B. People can gain knowledge more easily than before.C. Its a bad thing to have a chance to think through things.D. People find it hard to remember how to find information.27. Whats the authors attitude towards peoples memories now?A. Worried.B. Optimistic.C. Disappointed.D. Confident.DSince I was born, I have been listening to music all the time. Not just any music, but the right kind of music.It may seem strange to say that, but hearing good music played well by a big music group is something that a lot of people no longer experience. Most people are musically illiterate (了解不多的) simply because they have never had any chance to listen to good music. Many people are unfamiliar with the sound of a symphony orchestra (交响乐团). They only hear orchestra music while watching ads and films. But to me a symphony orchestra is the biggest instrument in the world. To hear a full symphony orchestra on stage and to feel the power of the soundit is like a big wave. It is an amazing experience and it is one that I was lucky enough to grow up with.My mother was a well-known singer. She had been a member of the Vienna State Opera and the Budapest State Opera and as a baby I was taken along to concerts and stages. I was not necessarily listening to classical music but always good music played well.My mother was the sixteenth child in her family. She was the youngest and by the time she was bom, her oldest sister also had a child with whom she shared a bed. With so many loving families around her, my mother grew up happily to be a cheerful woman.Because I lost my father when I was very young, I do not remember much about him. What I do know is largely what I have been told by my mother. I am like him in many ways. He was obviously a very serious man, always appearing sad. I seem to have inherited (继承) something of that from him. Fortunately, I inherited far more of my mother's happinessa real show business personality (名人).32. Why does the author think that most people are musically illiterate?A. They are not interested in music.B. They don't listen to music very often.C. They can't tell good music from bad music.D. They have no chance to listen to well-played music.33. What does the author think of hearing a symphony orchestra on stage?A. It inspires him to get on stage one day.B. It makes him feel like getting stuck in a big wave.C. It's very different from hearing orchestra music in films.D. It can create the same feeling as watching powerful ads.34. What can be learned about the author as a baby?A. He helped his mother a lot.B. He learned music from his mother.C. He went to his mother's workplace.D. He listened to classical music every day.35. What would the author probably like to do in the future?A. To be a teacher.B. To be a stage player.C. To be an ad designer.D. To be a businessman.第二节(共5小题；每小题2. 5分, 满分12. 5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。 You may have heard of the word “pub” . It is short for public house. There are around 60,000 pubs in the U.K. One of the oldest pubs，Ye Olde Fighting Cocks in St. Albans，Hertfordshire，is located in a building that dates back to the eleventh century.36. People talk，eat，drink，meet their friends and relax there. Pubs often have two bars，one usually quieter than the other，and many have a garden where people can sit in summer. Children can go into pub gardens with their parents.Groups of friends normally buy “rounds” of drinks.37. It is sometimes difficult to get served when pubs are busy：The bar staff will usually serve those who have been waiting the longest at the bar first.Most pubs offer a complete range of beers，local and imported，with German，Belgian and French beers being in demand.38.

It is illegal to sell alcohol to someone who already appears drunk. A fourteen-year-old may enter a pub unaccompanied by an adult if he orders a meal. Children may enter a pub with their parents until 9 p. m.，which lets families enjoy reasonably priced pub meals together. 40. Customs in British pubs differ from those in American bars.
