8、ate.The MIT team worked with Berlin-based artist Tomas Saraceno to take 2D(two-dimensional)laser(激光)scans of a spider web,which were linked together and made into a mathematical model that could recreate the web in 3Din VR(virtual reality).They also worked with MITs music department to create the vi

9、rtual instrument.“Even though the web looks really random(随机)，there actually are a lot of inside structures and you can visualize(可视化)them and you can look at them,but its really hard to grasp for the human imagination or human brain to understand all these structural details,”said MIT engineering p

10、rofessor Markus Buehler,who presented the work on Monday at a virtual meeting of the American Chemical Society.Listening to the music while moving through the VR spider web lets you see and hear these structural changes and gives a better idea of how spiders see the world,he told CNN.“Spiders use vi

11、brations(振动)as a way to locate themselves,to communicate with other spiders and so the idea of thinking really like a spider would experience the world was something that was very important to us as spider material scientists,”Buehler said.Spiders are able to build their webs without shelves or supp

12、orts,so having a better idea of how they work could lead to the development of advanced new 3D printing techniques.“The reason why I did that is I wanted to be able to get information really from the spider world,which is very weird and mysterious,”Buehler explained.In addition to the scientific val

13、ue,Buehler said the webs are musically interesting and that you can hear the sounds the spider creates during construction.“Its unusual and eerie and scary,but finally beautiful.”he described.4.What have MIT scientists done according to the passage?A.They have translated spider webs into sounds.B.Th

16、hers carry out the experiment.C.It presents a new and creative way to study spiders.D.It explains why scientists did the experiment.C Portraits as Art According to a dictionary,portraiture is“a representation(描绘)of a person,especially of the face by drawing or painting alikeness.”However,this defini

17、tion neglects the complexities of portraiture.Portraits are works of art that engage with ideas of identity rather than just a likeness.These concepts of identity involve social rank,gender,age,profession,character of the subject,etc.It is impossible to copy all the aspects of identity.Therefore,por

18、traits reflect only certain qualities of subjects.Portrait art has also undergone significant shifts in artistic practice.The majority of portraits are the outcome of current artistic fashions and favored styles.Therefore,portrait art is an art category providing various engagement with social,psych

19、ological,and artistic practices and expectations.Since portraits are different from other art categories,they are worthy of separate study.During their production,portraits require the presence of a specific person,or an image of the individual.In many instances,the production of portraiture has req

20、uired sittings,which result in interaction between the subject(s)and the artist throughout the creation of the work.In certain instances,portrait artists depended on a combination of different involvement with their subjects.If the sitter cant sit in the studio regularly,portraitists could use his o

21、r her photographs.InEurope,during the seventeenth and eighteenth century,the sitting time was sometimes decreased by focusing only on the head.Theoretically,portraitists could work from impressions or memories when creating a painting,but this rarely occurred according to documented records.Nonethel

22、ess,whether the work is based on model sittings,copying a photograph,or using memory,the process of painting a portrait is linked with the models attendance.Furthermore,portrait painting can be distinguished from other artistic categories by its connection with appearance,or likeness.As such,the art

23、 of portrait painting got a reputation for imitation instead of for artistic innovation.Based on Renaissance art theory,portraiture was related to the level of a mechanical exercise as opposed to a fine art.Michelangelos well-known protest against portraits is only one example.During the nineteenth

24、and twentieth centuries,the attitude to portraiture was critical.Even so,artists from around the globe persisted in painting portraits despite their theoretical objections.Picasso,for example,became widely-known forcubist still-life painting(立体派静物画)early in his career,but some of his early experimen

25、ts in this new style were his portraits of art dealers.8.What does paragraph 1 mainly tell us?A.The changing definition of portraiture reflects shifting attitudes to it.B.Most portraits reflect artistic fashions and favored styles when created.C.Portraiture is a more complex art form than is defined

26、 in a dictionary.D.Portrait art shouldnt be seen as a distinct art category for its complexity.9.Which of the following is a characteristic of portraiture mentioned in paragraph 2?A.Portraiture typically takes much less time than other art forms.B.Portraiture often requires frequent cooperation betw

27、een artists.C.Portraits show models in a more accurate way than other art forms.D.Portraits generally involve interaction between subjects and artists.10.According to paragraph 2,during portraits production,artists _.A.based their work on the subjects attendance B.preferred models photographs to the

28、ir presence C.were more willing to use impressions or memories D.reduced sitting time to concentrate on a sitters head 11.Picasso is chosen as an example by the author because he _.A.altered the way other artists felt about portrait art B.created portraits in spite of his objection to portrait art C

29、.depended on portrait art to establish a higher reputation D.had fewer theoretical objections to portraitures than others D In Japan many workers for large corporations have a guarantee of lifetime employment.They will not be laid off during recessions or when the tasks they perform are taken over b

30、y robots.To some observers,this is capitalism at its best,because workers are treated as people not things.Others see it as necessarily inefficient and believe it cannot continue if Japan is to remain competitive with foreign corporations more concerned about profits and less concerned about people.

31、Defenders of the system argue that those who call it inefficient do not understand how it really works.In the first place not every Japanese worker has the guarantee of a lifetime job.The lifetime employment system includes only“regular employees.”Many employees do not fall into this category,includ

32、ing all women.All businesses have many part time and temporary employees.These workers are hired and laid off during the course of the business cycle just as employees in the United States are.These“irregular workers”make up about 10 percent of the nonagricultural work force.Additionally,Japanese fi

33、rms maintain some flexibility through the extensive use of subcontractors.This practice is much more common in Japan than in the United States.The use of both subcontractors and temporary workers has increased markedly in Japan since the 1974-1975 recession.All this leads some people to argue that t

34、he Japanese system really is not all that different from the American system.During recessions Japanese corporations lay off temporary workers and give less business to subcontractors.In the United States,corporations lay off those workers with the least working experience.The difference then is pro

35、bably less than the term“lifetime employment”suggests,but there still is a difference.And this difference cannot be understood without looking at the values of Japanese society.The relationship between employer and employee cannot be explained in purely contractual terms.Firms hold on to the employe

36、es and that employees stay with one firm.There are also practical reasons for not jumping from job to job.Most retirement benefits come from the employer.Changing jobs means losing these benefits.Also,teamwork is an essential part of Japanese production.Moving to a new firm means adapting to a diffe

37、rent team and at least temporarily,lower productivity and lower pay.12.According to the passage,a woman in Japan _.A.cannot get a lifetime job B.is impossible to get a part time job C.will be employed for life D.is among the regular workers 13.Which of the following is NOT the reason why Japanese wo

38、rkers stay with one firm?A.They dont want to lose their retirement benefits.B.They are not adaptable people.C.Any change of jobs will make them less paid.D.They get used to the teamwork.14.It can be inferred from the passage that _.A.those who want to change jobs frequently in Japan should think twi

39、ce B.those who are first laid off by American corporations are temporary workers C.the use of subcontractors makes Japanese firms less flexible D.the Japanese system is totally different from the American system 15.What does the passage mainly discuss?A.The extremely hard situation during recessions

40、.B.The extensive use of subcontractors in Japan.C.The characteristics of corporations in the United States.D.The features of lifetime employment in Japan.第二节（共 5 小题；每小题 2 分，满分 10 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 Most of us don t have millions of dollars to go door-to-door to persuade peop

41、le to care about climate change._16_So lets talk to them about climate change.Because if we cant convince our parents to take action on climate,who can we convince?It might be a hard conversation.If you do accept this challenge,here are a few suggestions:Talk to them with love and respect.If youve e

43、 climate that allows for secure societies within the lifetimes of todays children.Once these unpleasant facts are laid out,make it clear that you arent blaming them for this.Your parents likely made all of their decisions with a strong sense of morality and social responsibility,and could only make

44、those decisions based on the information they had at the time._19_But now that you have provided this new information,talk about how it warns them，and all of us,to behave in new ways.Encourage them to buy environmentally friendly goods and services as much as possible.Talk to them about trying to av
