26、Artists Christo and Jeanne-Claude were known for temporary artistic creations that involved covering familiar public places with fabric (布料). All their work was shown to the public, fee of charge. Here are some of their masterpieces.
Wrapped Walk Ways
After the 1969 idea of the two-part project for Japan and the Netherlands was abandoned, they made another attempt to do a larger Wrapped Walk Ways, this time in Ireland. Again, the authorities refused the permit. In 1978, Wrapped Walk Ways was finally realized in the US. 12, 500 m² yellow fabric was used to cover up the walkways in a park.
The Umbrellas
The idea of creating a two-part project became reality in 1991 when they completed The Umbrellas in Japan and the US. The project was completed in two countries at the same time, reflecting the similarities and differences in the ways of life and the use of the land in the two countries. 1, 340 blue umbrellas were placed in a valley in Japan. 1, 760 yellow umbrellas were placed in a valley in the US.
The Floating Piers
The Floating Piers was a walkway covered in yellow fabric that stretches almost two miles into Lake Iseo in northern Italy. The project was open to the public from June 18 to July3, 2016. Visitors were able to experience the work of art by walking on it. It was Christo’s first large-scale project since Jeanne-Claude passed away in 2009.
L’Arc de Triomphe, Wrapped
The idea for covering the L’Arc de Triomphe was born in 1961 when they lived in Paris, and it was approved by the French government in April 2019.
The L’Arc de Triomphe is wrapped in 25, 000 m² of recyclable light blue fabric, and 3, 000 m of red rope was used. It was on view for 16 days from September 18 to October 3, 2021.

27、 An 82-year-old Chinese female pilot has set a record in the country's airline industry after flying a small plane for 40 minutes in Beijing. Miao Xiaohong, one of China's second batch (一批)of female pilots, controlled the Tecnam P2010 plane to take off, turn, climb, dive and land safely at the Shifosi Airport in Pinggu District of Beijing.
In 1956, Miao Xiaohong, who graduated from a high school in Jinan, won a position in the second batch. She graduated from the flight school in 1958. In the following years, she flew many important missions (任务).In 1963, she undertook a mission to airdrop materials for the flood-stricken areas in Hebei Province. Poor visibility (能见度)prevented her locating the target areas as the clouds were about 100 meters above the ground, but she managed to finish the task.
In 1989, she retired and started her writing career. When she collected materials for her books, she found that many aged pilots in other countries still flew, and she had the idea to return to the sky. To prepare for the flight, she walked 3 ,000 steps every day and moved her arms to meet the requirements for high-altitude flight during the past two months. Different from past flights for missions, this time her goal was to enjoy the flight. She said that it was exciting and fresh. " Seeing the boundless blue sky unfold in front of me, I feel it is very open," she said.
The trainer said that Miao Xiaohong could finish 30 hours of flight to get a license for commercial flight. She said, "My physical condition is good enough to finish the 30-hour flight but it is not so important for me to get such a license. After achieving my dream of returning to the sky, I hope to encourage young women to join the airline industry. I'm 82 years old and I can fly again. You, the young people, can fly and will fly better than me."
【1】What can we learn from the airdrop mission carried out by Miao Xiaohong?
A.She was a very brave pilot.
B.She had excellent flying skills.
C.She suffered from poor eyesight.
D.She usually completed hard tasks.
【2】What made Miao Xiaohong have the idea of flying a plane at the age of 82?
A.Her deep love for flight.
B.Her wish to set a flying record .
C.The requirements of her books.
D.The influence of other aged pilots .
【3】Which of the following words can best describe Miao Xiaohong?
A.Faithful B.Energetic
C.Determined D.Promising
【4】What might be the best title for the passage?
A.Returning to the blue sky
B.Coming to join in the flight
C.Managing to finish difficult tasks
D.Improving yourself to set a record
28、Great friendships made over time
What kind of relationship do you think will provide you with more life satisfaction, better health and complete happiness? 【1】 A familial (家庭的) one? Surprisingly, the answer is friendship.
However, it’s not possible to have true friends without first making regular friends. Have you ever thought about how long it takes to turn an acquaintance (认识的人) into a true friend? 【2】 According to lead study author Jeffrey Hall, we need to spend at least 80 hours with another person to create a true friendship with them.
【3】 One group consisted of 429 adults who had recently relocated (搬家), while the other was made up of 112 freshmen from the University of Kansas. The results showed that the more time each person spent together, the faster friendship formed in both groups. But it seemed that Hall wasn’t satisfied with the result. 【4】 According to the survey, “casual” friends are generally formed after spending about 30 hours together. And people will go from casual friends to regular friends after another 50 hours. However, it takes a lot longer to get really close to someone: A “close” friendship takes about 140 hours to create and “best friends” need about 300 hours.
But spending time together isn’t the only factor (元素) when it comes to making friends. “It’s not so important to just be in the company of someone… 【5】,” Since time is precious, Hall suggested taking advantage of our school years by making as many friends as we can.
A.Watch a movie together ?
B.It matters how you spend the time.
C.Hall surveyed two groups as they began new chapters in their lives.
D.A romantic relationship?
E.You can engage (参与) in friendly competition by playing video games.
F.A new study published recently might have the answer to that question.
G.He wanted to find out exactly how many hours it takes to form a friendship.
29、(CNN) — This photograph of two men sharing a drink 30 meters below the water is part of an art project exploring the mysterious world of freediving — a form of underwater diving that relies on a diver’s ability to hold his or her breath until resurfacing rather than on the use of oxygen tanks (氧气瓶).
Each man, dressed in shirt, jeans and sunglasses, sits in a chair at the bottom of the Caribbean Sea with local sharks — harmless to humans — swimming just meters away. Of course, these aren’t ordinary men, but freedivers: extreme athletes who dive on a single breath of air.
American photographer Lia Barrett had been taking pictures of brave divers competing at the Caribbean Cup off the coast of Honduras, when she decided to create a fantastic underwater world in which humans go about everyday tasks — such as drinking coffee or riding bikes.
“After the competitors had a great time in the new national and world records set at the competition, I took advantage of their breath-holding skills to do photo shoots I had only dreamed of before,” said the 29-year-old.
Perhaps unsurprisingly, Barrett is often asked whether the amazing pictures are Photoshopped. She laughs quietly as she insists they’re 100% real.
The picture of two men having coffee took 50 minutes to create, with the men receiving oxygen from standby assistants around every three minutes.
“On the way back up, we were holding onto the table during our decompression (减压) stop in the strong current (水流) — it was quite a scene.”
The underwater models made an 11-minute stop on the way back to the surface, making sure they didn’t rise too quickly and suffer decompression sickness — which can cause deadly blackouts (眩晕).
【1】The photograph mentioned in the first paragraph _____.
A.has set a new world record
B.aims to call on people to protect sharks
C.realizes the photographer Barrett’s dream
D.is one activity of the Caribbean Cup
【2】The Caribbean Cup held off the coast of Honduras mainly shows competitors’ _____.
A.swimming skills
B.Photoshop skills
C.photography skills
D.breath-holding skills
【3】Many people think the picture of two men having coffee below the water is _____.
A.not real
B.not perfect
C.not surprising
D.not interesting
【4】Why did the two models make an 11-minute stop on the way back to the surface?
A.To have more photographs taken.
B.To enjoy the underwater world.
C.To bring back the table.
D.To avoid getting sick.

31、课文内容填空
Middle English is the name 【1】(give) to the English used from around the 12th to the 15th centuries. Many things played a part in the 【2】(develop) of this new type of English. The most important 【3】(贡献) was from the Normans, a 【4】 (French speak) people who【5】 (打败) England and took control of the country in 1066. 【6】, the Norman Conquest did not affect English as much as the Angles and the Saxons’ victory about 600 years earlier, which led to Old English 【7】 (replace) Celtic. Even though the Normans spoke French for the e【8】 250 years they ruled England, French did not replace English 【9】 the first language. On the other hand, the English language did borrow many words from French. This resulted in even more words with similar meanings, such as answer (from Old English) and reply (from Old French).
