22、 The olinguito(小型犬浣熊) is new to science, although it has been living in the cloud forests of South America for some time, unknown to researchers.
The olinguito is a hairy orange-brown creature with a sweet face and big eyes. The animal has small, rounded ears and lives in the trees. An adult weighs one kilogram and measures about 75 centimeters, with half of those centimeters taken up by its ringed tail.
Most of the time, it likes to eat fruit, although it also eats meat. Active at night, the animal has lived in Colombia and Ecuador for a long time. But the olinguito did not exist in science books before.
Kristofer Helgen is the curator (馆长) of mammals at the Smithsonian Institution’s National Museum of Natural History in Washington. He led the research team that confirmed the existence of the olinguito. It had been mistaken for a look-alike animal —the similar but larger olingo (尖吻浣熊).
“Think about these foggy and dense cloud forests. This animal, like so many animals in the rainforest, only comes out at night. It doesn’t come out of the trees. It’s wet. It’s dark. It’s hard to find these animals.”
About 10 years of work led Kristofer Helgen from museum storage areas to cloud forests in South America. He got lucky when he communicated with a zoologist in Ecuador. The animal expert there made a short video that showed what scientists say is an olinguito in the trees. It confirms that the olinguito is different from the olingo. Mr. Helgen says even people who live near the olinguitos’ forests do not see it different from similar animals.
【1】What can we learn about the olinguito from the text?
A.It has a preference for meat. B.It is much larger than the olingo.
C.It was described in some science books. D.It and the olingo are very similar in appearance.
【2】Why is it hard for people to find the olinguito?
A.It is too small. B.It only comes out at night.
C.It spends all its time eating in the trees. D.People’s eyesight there is not very good.
【3】What does the underlined word “It” refer to?
A.The tree. B.The video. C.The animal. D.The study.
【4】What is the best title for the text?
A.The Olinguito Has Unique Living Habits B.Scientists Discover a New Animal
C.Researchers Are Searching for the Olinguito D.The Olinguito Is an Endangered Animal
23、 Each Wednesday evening, around 6:30 p. m., an unlikely group of artists gather in the activity room downstairs at the Anne Douglas Center for Women, located in downtown L. A. For an hour and a half, we sing, share tales from the weekend, praise each other’s work, and make things.
More specifically, we make wire sculptures, multimedia masks and self-portraits(自画像), and write letters to our future selves. We draw with closed eyes. Some projects come together with ease, others are not that easy.
However, regardless of the finished products, all of us value the time each week when there are no strict instructions, no right answers, no winners. And this is not to say the finished products aren’t surprising, genuine and wildly beautiful—which they most certainly are.
On Saturday, Nov. 12, the artists of the Anne Douglas Center will take over Bruce Lurie Gallery for a single night, selling their work to raise money for next year’s art programming. The evening, titled “The Art of Love”, is both a chance to support women and aspiring(有雄心的) artists in the community, and to see some quality artwork.
“Art therapy(疗法)is more than just making nice pictures,” art therapist Tally Tripp explained in an earlier interview. “In fact, art therapy is more often a process of making ugly or messy pictures that describe a feeling state, not a final product that is all neat and tied together. Art therapy is about that creative process where the customer, in the company of an art therapist is working and re-working problems via a range of variable art materials.”
Neither I nor Justin Waring-Crane, my partner, are art therapists. (She is an occupational therapist.) The projects we’re leading are not, therefore, art therapy. And yet, the healing(治疗的) benefits of creative expression are powerful. I can, at the very least, speak for myself; I leave our meetings feeling both accepted and inspired.
【1】What is Paragraph 2 mainly about?
A.The purposes of the project.
B.The activities the women do.
C.How the women carry out their projects.
D.Why the women gather on Wednesday evenings.
【2】What can we infer about “The Art of Love”?
A.It is a party intended for women artists.
B.Some high-quality artwork will be displayed.
C.It is an opening ceremony for Bruce Lurie Gallery.
D.Many famous artists will participate in the activity.
【3】What’s the author’s attitude towards their projects?
A.Cautious. B.Curious. C.Doubtful. D.Satisfied.
