They argue that posting graffiti in public places is considered an illegal act of property damage. But the location of such graffiti should not prevent the images themselves from being considered real art.I would argue that graffiti is the most important public art form. Spray paint is a medium unlike any other. Through graffiti, the entire world has become a canvas (画布). These works of art dotting the urban landscape are available, free of charge, to everyone who passes by.To be clear, I do not consider random words or names sprayed on stop signs to be art. Plenty of graffiti is just vandalism, pure and simple. However, there is also graffiti that is breathtaking in its complex detail, its realism, or its creativity. It takes great talent to create such involved designs with spray paint. Are these creators not artists just because they use a can of spray paint instead of a paintbrush?To declare that all graffiti is vandalism, and nothing more, is a too simplistic statement. Furthermore, graffiti is not going anywhere, so we might as well find a way to live with it and enjoy its benefits. One choice could be to make a percentage of public space open to graffiti artists. By doing this, the public might feel like part owners of these works of art, rather than just the victims of a crime.11. Mark Turin apparently believes that graffiti _.A. is not an art formB. is too simple to be considered artC. can only sometimes be considered a work of artD. should be restricted to places where it is allowed12.The author argues that graffiti _.A. is the only art form that is freeB. is best viewed on public walls rather than a canvas C. provides more public benefits than sculptures do D. should be judged on artistic qualities rather than places13. The author concludes his passage by _.A. restating his positionB. questioning the magazine C. offering an answer to the matter D. identifying the benefits of graffitiBResearchers continue to show the power behind our sense of smell. Recent studies 3have found, among other things, that the smell of foods like pizza can cause uncontrollable anger in drivers on roads.The review explains that smell is unique in its effects on the brain. According to Conrad King, the researcher who carried out the review, “more than any other senses, the sense of smell goes through the logical part of the brain and acts on the systems concerned with feelings. This is why the smell of baking bread can destroy the best intentions of a dieter.”Smell, which decides the unbelievable complexity of food tastes, has always been the least understood of our senses. Our noses are able to detect (察觉，发现) up to 10, 000 distinct smells. Our ability to smell and taste this extremely large range of smells is controlled by something like 1, 000 genes, which make up an amazing 3% of the human genome. Researchers Richard Axel and Linda Buck were together awarded a Nobel Prize in 2004 for their ground-breaking research on the nature of this extraordinary sense. These two scientists were the first to describe the family of 1,000 olfactory (嗅觉) genes and to explain how our olfactory system works.According to one study in the research review, smelling fresh pizza or even the packaging of fast foods can be enough to make drivers feel impatient with other road users. They are then more likely to speed and experience uncontrollable anger on roads. The most reasonable explanation is that these can all make drivers feel hungry, and therefore desperate to satisfy their appetites.In contrast, the smells of peppermint and cinnamon were shown to improve concentration levels as well as reduce drivers impatience. Similarly, the smells of lemon and coffee appeared to promote clear thinking and mental focus.However, the way genes regulate (调节，控制) smell differs from person to person. A study by researchers in Israel has identified at least 50 olfactory genes which are switched on in some people and not in others. They believe this may explain why some of us love some smells and tastes while others hate them. The Israel researchers say their study shows that nearly every human being shows a different pattern of active and inactive smell-detecting receptors (感受器).14. What did Richard Axel and Linda Buck find out?A. The type of food smells. B. The logical part of human brain.C. The nature of human olfactory system.D. The relationship between food and feelings.15. Which of the following can help people concentrate?A. BreadB. Fast food.C. PizzaD. Coffee.16. What do we know from the last paragraph?A. Different people are sensitive to different smells. B.

C., or Redwood, Calif., you may have glimpsed a small, boxy robot rolling along a local sidewalk, minding its own business, but attracting the attention of many a curious onlooker.The robots, which look like electric rice cookers with wheels, were part of a pilot program last year by Starship Technologies focused on delivering meals from local restaurants in dozens of cities around the world.This week, the company revealed plans to broaden its delivery service beyond food to include packages, a move that made it “the worlds first robot package delivery service”. The package delivery service is only available in some cities in the US.The wheeled robots have a top speed of 4 mph and can detect barriers from as far as 30 feet away.“The robot can operate through just about anything， ”says Nick Handrick, head of operations for Starships D. C. office, “If you have something in the way, its able to climb it.” By giving customers control of when deliveries occur, Starship Technologies is promoting its service as a way to combat package theft.To sign up for the service, which costs a little more than $10 per month, customers need to download the companys app. Customers then create a “Starship Delivery Address”, a unique address inside a Starship facility, instead of a home address, where they can have packages sent from places such as Amazon. com.Once a package is delivered to the Starship address, customers receive a text notice that allows them to schedule a home delivery via robot. The robots are opened by customers with a mobile phone code (代码).17. What do we know about Starship Technologies company?A. Packages are delivered by its robots all round America.B. Its robots have taken on package delivery for a long time.C. It is the first to provide robot package delivery service. D. Its delivery service is the best of all in the world.18.

Customers cant open the robots without a mobile phone code.B. Starship Delivery Address is the customers home address.C. Customers have to pay a little more than $10 each time.D. Robots themselves have control over when to deliver packages.20. What may be the best title for the passage?A. Robot Delivery Service Is Taking OffB. Humans Are Being Replaced By Robot5C. Everything Can Be Done By RobotsD. Packages Can Be Delivered By Robots第二节第二节 选句填空（共选句填空（共 5 小题；每小题小题；每小题 2 分分, 满分满分 10 分）分）根据短文内容, 从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项, 选项中有两项为多余选项。At the end of a long day, its all too easy to take a hot shower, brush your teeth, and then jump into bed. 21 As it turns out, going to bed with wet hair isnt as harmless as you probably thought.The first negative result of sleeping with wet hair is purely cosmetic (美容). 22 . If you try to style your hair in the morning after sleeping on it wet, youre probably going to have trouble styling the resulting curliness (卷曲), funny waves, and flat sides.When you wake up, youre probably going to have to re-wet it again to properly dry it and regain control. 23 .Sleeping with wet hair does not immediately damage your hair, but it can certainly lead to hair breakage, because hair is weakest when wet. 24 First, you can swap your cotton pillowcases for silk ones. Silk has a much smoother surface, so you wont experience as much unfortunate breakage.Next, you can make sure to sleep with your hair down, instead of up in a tight ponytail. In addition, you should replace your tight bands with a soft one that isnt going to roughly pull at night. 25 Dry oils and texturizing mousses (摩丝) are some of the best ways to ensure you dont wake up looking like a lion while protecting your precious hair from damage.Now that you know how bad sleeping with wet hair is, make sure youre not making these hairstyle mistakes.A. Finally, never skip out on applying product.B. Here are some tips that can help dry any hair faster.C. This unnecessarily adds time to your morning routine.D. If you havent noticed, the ends of your hair tend to dry first.E. You cant predict how your wethair is going to look in the morning.F. But have you ever thought about the risks of sleeping with wet hair?G. If you must sleep with wet hair, there are a few ways to reduce the damage. 第三部分：语言知识及应用（共两节，满分第三部分：语言知识及应用（共两节，满分 45 分）分）第一节第一节 完形填空完形填空 (共共 15 小题；每小题小题；每小题 2 分，满分分，满分 30 分分)阅读下面短文, 从短文后各题所给的四个选项（A、B、C、D）中, 选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项, 并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。6Almost everything was fantastic in the nature camp except for a girl, Elizabeth.
