Then a year later he beat his previous record with his monumental work at Cacau Show Headquarters, a masterpiece that took 700 hours to complete and more than doubled his 2016 record. Influenced by the pop-art movement and modern artists, the realism in his designs makes his flat-surfaced extremely colourful wall paintings appear 3-D and alive with life.With his project Greenpincel（2011）, Kobra showed his strong will to the environmental cause. Climate change, water pollution, deforestation, predatory（掠夺性的）fishing, and mistreatment of animals became strong themes present in his work .In Stars of Peace, Kobra describes individuals who have given hope to the world through their lives, such as Mother Teresa, Mahatma Gandhi, Malala Yousafzai, and Anne Frank.Kobra is involved in social causes, such as food collection campaigns and activities aimed at bringing art to poor communities, especially children who have no access to basic facilities.In 2021, he started the Kobra Institute, which aims to bring art to vulnerable（脆弱的） people in Brazil.During the pandemic（大流彳亍病），he led an activity together with the private sector to raise funds to build oxygen plants for COVID-19 patients.4.

In most jazz performances, players play solos which they make up on site, which requires considerable skills. There is great variety in jazz but most jazz is very rhythmic（有节奏的） and uses “blue” notes. You can often hear “call-and-response” patterns in jazz, in which one instrument, voice, or part of the band answers another. Jazz can express many different emotions, from pain to joy. In jazz, you may hear the sounds of freedom, for the music has been a powerful voice for people suffering unfair treatment because of the colour of the skin.Jazz musicians place a high value on finding their own sound and style and that means for example, that trumpeter（号手）Miles Davis sounds very different from trumpeter Louis Armstrong. Jazz musicians like to play their songs in their own styles, and so you might listen to a dozen of different jazz recordings of the same song, but each will sound different.Jazz developed in the United States in the very early part of the 20th century. New Orleans, near the mouth of the Mississippi River, played a key role in this development. The city's population was more different than anywhere else in the South. People of African French, Caribbean, Italian, German, Mexican, and American Indian as well as English descent（血统）mixed with one another, African-American musical traditions mixed with others and gradually jazz emerged（产生）from a mixture of marches, blues, and other kinds of music.At first jazz was mostly for dancing. After the first recordings of jazz were made in 1917, the music spread widely and developed rapidly. At the same time jazz spread from the United States to many parts of the world, and today jazz musicians and jazz festivals can be found in dozens of nations. Jazz is one of the United States' greatest exports to the world.8 . What is a typical part of jazz?A. Players create music on site.B. It's only performed indoors.C. Players sing in different ways.D.

The idea is that texting leads to the fall of a kind of serious literacy, or at least writing ability, among young people in the United States and now the whole world today. The fact of the matter is that it just isn't true. In order to see that actually texting is a magical thing, a kind of emergent complexity （复杂）that we9re seeing happening right now, we have to look at what language really is in which case, one thing that we see is that texting is not writing at all.Basically, if we think about language, language has existed for at least 80,000 years, and it arose as speech. People talked. Thafs what we're probably genetically specified fbr. Thafs how we use language most. Writing is something that came along much later. There's a little bit of controversy （争议）as to exactly when that happened, but according to traditional opinions, if humanity had existed for 24 hours, then writing only came along at about 11:07 p.m.Now don't get me wrong. Writing has certain advantages. When you write, because it's a conscious （有意识的）process, because you can look backwards, you can do things with language that are much less likely if you're just talking.Informal speech is something quite different. Linguists （语言学家）have actually shown that when we're speaking informally in an unmonitored way, we tend to speak in word packets of maybe 7 to 10 words. You,ll notice this if you ever have occasion to record yourself or a group of people talking. Thafs what speech is like. Speech is much freer. It's much more telegraphic. It's much less reflective-very different from writing. So we naturally tend to think, because we see language written so often, that that's what language is, but actually what language is, is speech. They are two things.Now of course, as history has gone by, it's been natural fbr there to be a certain amount of bleed between speech and writing.12. Why do some people think texting is a disaster?A. It reduces people's ability to write.B. It has no benefits to people's health.C. It is hard to understand its complexity.D. It makes people addicted to cellphones.13. What does the underlined word “arose" in Paragraph 2 mean?A. Served. B. Responded. C. Appeared.D. Performed.14. What mainly makes writing differ from speech?A. It is easy to process.B. It helps people think deeply.C. It's about the nature of language.D. It has more strengths than speech.15. What is mostly to be discussed in the paragraph that follows?A. The history of language.B. More details about writing.C. The importance of formal speech.D. The relationship between speech and writing.二、七选五Setting a new personal max is a great way to chart your progress toward your fitness goals.16 One useful step is to improve VO: max（最大摄氧量），which is a measure of w much oxygen your body can take in and use during exercise. The more oxygen your body can put to use while you work out, the better your performance will be, whether you're running a long-distance race or playing a sport like tennis or soccer.17 The first is to build up your aerobic（有氧）base,which is achieved by doing a lot of lower-intensityd氐强度）aerobic work. In running,that would mean a lot of long, slow miles, with the goal of building up your distance over time.Doing this increases your overall aerobic capacity（容量）which in turn will help your body be much better at taking in and using oxygen.Exercise physiologist and Ironman coach Alan Couzens is rich in his experience working with athletes. 18 In it he claims that the largest gains in VO2max tend to come when their training plan includes a lot of lower-intensity aerobic work.In addition to these long,slow miles, you'll want to add to some more traditional"VO2 maxworkouts, which feature short bursts of high-intensity work at 90-95% of your maximum heart rate. 19However,although it can be attractive （and feel good） to push yourself every time you exercise, high-intensity intervals（间歇）should only contain a small percentage of your overall workout routine. 20 As Jason Fitzgerald wrote for Outside Magazine, you should avoid long-time work at a VO2 max level, as it is tough on the body.Instead,he advises/'Save most of these intense, specific workouts for the final step of training when you're sharpening fbr a race.”A. So what's the easiest way to do that?B. What is the VO max that is accepted during exercise?C. He has had a well-known post in a blog for SimpliFaster.D. These short, intense bursts will help further push your body's abilities.E. There are two general strategies that are helpful for improving your VOzMax.F. If your performance improves, that's a sign that your VO max has improved too.G. If you are preparing for a race,for example, you want to avoid overdoing them too soon.三、完形填空I love persimmons（柿子）.A few years ago, preparing to travel from San Francisco to Boston, I21two persimmons, one of which I 22 in the flight departurelounged疾机室）,waiting to board the 23A lady24 me and asked from which store in the airport the fruit was bought.
