26、 Leonardo da Vinci was one of the great creative minds of the Italian Renaissance(文艺复兴), not only hugely influential as an artist and sculptor but also immensely talented as an engineer, scientist and inventor.
Da Vinci was born on 15 April 1452 near the Tuscan town of Vinci. He was apprenticed(便当学徒) to the sculptor and painter Andrea del Verrocchio in Florence and in 1478 became an independent master. In about 1483, he moved to Milan to work for the ruling Sforza family as an engineer, sculptor, painter and architect. From 1495 to 1497 he produced a mural of The Last Supper in the refectory of the Monastery of Santa Maria delle Grazie, Milan.
Da Vinci was in Milan until the city was invaded by the French in 1499 and the Sforza family was forced to flee. He may have visited Venice before returning to Florence. During his time in Florence, he painted several portraits, but the only one that survived was the famous Mona Lisa (1503-1506).
In 1506, Da Vinci returned to Milan, remaining there until 1513. This was followed by three years based in Rome. In 1517, at the invitation of the French king Francis I, Leonardo moved to the Chateau of Cloux, near Amboise in France, where he died on 2 May 1519.
The fame of Da Vinci’s surviving paintings has meant that he has been regarded primarily as an artist, but the thousands of surviving pages of his notebooks show the most brilliant of minds. He wrote and drew on subjects including geology, anatomy (which he studied in order to paint the human form more accurately), flight, gravity and optics, often moving from subject to subject on a single page, and writing in left-handed mirror script. He “invented” the bicycle, airplane, helicopter, and parachute some 500 years ahead of their time.
If all this work had been published in a form easy to understand, Da Vinci’s place as a pioneering scientist would have been beyond dispute. Yet his true genius was not as a scientist or an artist, but as a combination of the two – an ‘artist-engineer.’ His painting was scientific, based on a deep understanding of the workings of the human body and the physics of light and shade. His science was expressed through art, and his drawings and diagrams show what he meant and how he understood the way the world works.
【1】How many years did Da Vinci spend in Milan altogether?
A.2 years. B.23 years.
C.7 years. D.16 years.
【2】Which of the following places may Da Vince not have visited?
A.Florence B.France
C.Venice D.Rome
【3】What does the word “anatomy” in Paragraph 5 mean?
A.The scientific study of the structure of human or animal bodies.
B.The scientific study of people, their societies, cultures, etc.
C.The study of ancient societies by examining what remains of their buildings, tools, etc.
D.The scientific study of the stars and planets.
【4】Which of the following statements is NOT true according to the passage?
A.Da Vinci passed away at the age of 67 in France.
B.Da Vinci tended to focus on several subjects on one single page in his notebook.
C.Da Vinci had designed the helicopter centuries before it was actually invented.
D.Da Vinci was more of a scientist than an artist because he was a pioneer scientist of his age.
27、CHAMBORD CASTLE, LOIR-ET-CHER, FRANCE
A remarkable example of classical French architecture, Chambord Castle is the largest castle in the Loire Valley of France. Built in 1519 as a hunting lodge for the royal court, the building was rarely lived in. There are one hundred rooms（of 440）open to the public and dozens of staircases, including one said to have been designed by Leonardo da Vinci. The surrounding 21-square-mile nature park entertains with hiking and biking routes and boat rentals.

BRAN CASTLE, BRASOV, ROMANIA
Bran Castle originally dates back to the year 1212 and is mistakenly believed to be the home in Bram Stoker’s Dracula.

28、 Peter kept his eyes on the ground. He felt like there was heavy weight on his shoulders as he walked home alone. It was the worst day of his life. His mind would not stop thinking about what happened only just an hour ago on the school soccer field. How could he have missed scoring that goal? He had let his whole team down. He made a stupid mistake, because of which his team had lost the game. His coach might kick him off the team.
As he entered home, his father noticed something unusual, for his feelings were written all over his face. “I lost the game,” Peter said briefly. His father paused and tried to comfort him, but he refused to listen. “I lost the game, Dad. I failed my team. They'll probably never let me play again,” said Peter.
“Soccer is about team effort. You're not the only reason your team lost. If you have a good team, you should support each other. Besides, winning or losing is only half the game. The other half is learning how to communicate with your teammates and learning from your mistakes.”
Peter didn't say anything, but what his father said made him think carefully.
The next day, Peter went to soccer practice with courage rather than fear in his heart.
“Hey, guys,” he said to his teammates. “I'm sorry about yesterday. We were so close to winning that game. But I think if we continue to pull together, we're going to win the next one.” To his surprise and relief, his teammates all nodded in agreement. Peter smiled. It made him feel lucky to know that he was on winning team.
【1】How did Peter feel after the game?
A.Puzzled. B.Curious.
C.Upset. D.Relaxed.
【2】What does Father mean by saying “Soccer is about team effort.”?
A.Teamwork is key to soccer.
B.The team needs more practice.
C.Soccer is rather difficult to play.
D.Success mostly depends on luck.
【3】What can we learn from Peter's story?
A.The early bird catches the worm.
B.Failure is an event, not a person.
C.It is never too late to learn.
D.All roads lead to Rome:
29、 Kids nowadays are growing up “connected”, learning to use technology at a surprising speed. Technology is a regular part of school now! Kids as young as Kindergarten are using smartboards, IPads, and computers to complete tasks in the classroom. Older children rely on the Internet for research, getting homework, sending work to teachers, and even accessing（ 获得） textbooks. In fact, today’s kids have been given the name “digital（数字）natives” because they are facing technology almost from birth, so new things have never been a greater challenge in the hands of our children. The Internet，Facebook, iPods, pictures and texting on cell phones and all of these are the ways kids communicate today. They have become a central part of their lives. It allows them a private life that most of us know very little about.
Kids just don’t think about the results of the new world of social networking and text messaging. They don’t think that it is dangerous to send a photo of a particular person to a foolish person, who might send it to some friends that may send it to a hundred others and the next thing you know, it’s on many Facebook sites and all over the Internet forever. They don’t think that way because they don’t have the life experience that we do. We have to help them.
The key to knowing how they manage this privacy（隐私） is our “connection” to them. How closely do we connect with our kids and pay attention to what they’re doing? And how often do we talk to our children... and really listen to them? If they believe in us and know that we will be there for them, they are more likely to follow our advice. If we talk openly about what we believe in, what we stand for, those values will become their own before long.

【2】What does the underlined word “us” in paragraph 1 refers to?
A.Kids. B.Adults. C.Internet users. D.Internet teachers.
【3】Why do kids think differently according to paragraph 2?
A.They only understand their own private lives. B.They are badly influenced by new things.
C.They do not have life experience. D.They don’t depend on their parents.
【4】When will children accept their parents’ advice?
A.When they are surfing on the Internet. B.When they meet some dangerous situations.
C.When parents believe in what they are doing. D.When parents communicate with them deeply.
30、My brother rang. “Can you do something with Mum?” he asked. Since Dad died, she’s been unwilling to _________ the house. She and my dad came over from Iran. My brother, Faraz, and I were born and _________ in America. _________, even now we always speak in Farsi (波斯语) when together as a family.
Mum was a writer and wrote poems in her own _________. But she didn’t write any more and stayed indoors after Dad died.

But then she accepted and laughed, because she knew I was a child of two __________ eager to enjoy what they both served up.
That day was a good __________. After that, Mum began to take a(an) __________ in the world again: She started a new collection of poems. “I’m thinking of taking a degree in English __________ if my English keeps improving. You and Faraz will help, I hope?” She asked on the phone. “Of course, Mum - as long as we don’t lose our mother tongue.” I replied. Ever since, I’ve been thinking about the phrase “mother tongue”. It means so many things: The __________ given by mothers to their babies and said back to them and the acknowledgement that all languages are rich in poetry. I’m a child of two cultures and I love them both, just as I love the people who helped __________ them around me.

Poorest countries facing both obesity and malnutrition
A third of the poorest countries in the world are dealing with high levels of obesity as well as under-nourishment, which leaves people too thin, according to a report in The Lancet. It says the problem is caused by global 【1】 to ultra - processed foods, and people exercising less. The authors are calling for changes to the “modern food system” which they believe is the 【2】 of it.
Countries in sub-Saharan Africa and Asia are most affected.
The report 【3】 that nearly 2.3 billion children and adults on the planet are overweight, and more than 150 million children have undersized growth. And many low and middle-income countries are facing these two 【4】 at the same time -- known as the ‘double burden of malnutrition’. This means that 20% of people are overweight, 30% of children under four are not growing 【5】, and 20% of women are classified as thin.
Failing food systems
The report authors say action should be taken by governments, the United Nations and academics to 【6】 the problem, and it points the finger at changing diets.
The way people eat, drink and move is changing. Increasing numbers of supermarkets, easy availability of less 【7】 food, as well as a decrease in 【8】 activity, are leading to more people becoming overweight.
And these changes are affecting low and middle-income countries, as well as high-income ones.
Although undersized growth of children in many countries is becoming less frequent, eating ultra-processed foods early in life is 【9】 with poor growth. “We are facing a new nutrition reality,” says lead author Dr Francesco Branca, director of the department of nutrition for health and development at the World Health Organization. “We can no longer 【10】 countries as low-income and undernourished, or high-income and only concerned with obesity.
32、阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
My family went on our annual (每年的) summer vacation in a small house on a lake. Every day we kids are busy swimming, fishing and building sand castle on the beach. By the third day of our vacation, however, something caught my attention. I noticed my 10-year-old sister, Kate, always watching videos and looking through online shops indoors. She was so addicted to her cell phone! Over dinner, I asked Kate whether she would like to go hike to the top of the mountain across the lake the following morning, “Maybe you need put your phone away and enjoy the wonderful scenery. It’s really amazing.”
“Well,” Kate replied unwillingly, “there are some bargains (减价品) tomorrow in several online shops, so I’ll not be available tomorrow.”
“You can’t miss the fresh air and beautiful views here. Hiking is really fun!”
“I cannot walk so far”, she didn’t look up from her soup and mumbled (嘟囔), “and it sounds more like punishment than a vacation.”
When I said it only took us half an hour of steady walk to climb to the top, though reluctant, she nodded, “Fine, I’ll go.”
The weather was fine as usual with clear skies and gentle winds. After packing, I found Kate walking slowly downstairs and in a very unenthusiastic (不热情的) voice, “Ok, I’m ready to go. Tom”
Anyway, when we stepped out of our house, quite a different view unfolded before our eyes. Sunlight brightened on the glassy surface of the lake. Not far away, a rough path wound to the top of the mountain across the lake with flowers and grass on both sides. We began from the path.
“Tom, I’m still wondering if it is a good idea to go hiking.” Kate said, frowning (皱眉).
