26、A European Union program is letting blind people experience famous paintings for the first time. It uses three dimensional (3-D) printing to re-create famous paintings so that they can be touched.
One painting printed with the new technology is Gustav Klimt’s “The Kiss.” It is a popular attraction at the Belvedere Museum in Vienna, Austria. The painting shows a man and a woman standing in a field filled with flowers. They are wearing gold robes and have their arms around each other. The man leans down to kiss the woman.
Klimt finished the painting in 1908. Until now, people who have trouble seeing can not enjoy the artwork. But thanks to the reproduction (复制品) they can touch the piece and feel the ridges (隆起) and depressions (凹地). Andreas Reichinger started making 3-D versions of artwork in 2010. He said this reproduction was his most difficult project because the couple’s robes are so detailed (精细的).
Dominika Raditsch is a blind museum visitor. She touched the reproduction. As she moved her hands around it, she said, “Exactly, can you see these? There are so many details.” Raditsch said she can imagine what the original painting looks like when she touches the reproduction. “It’s somehow round. You can feel it. It comes with it. And in many places it’s so smooth. And then I think to myself: it probably shines too!” Raditsch said.
The Belvedere is not the only museum to have 3-D versions of its artwork. Some of the pieces at the Prado, in Madrid, Spain, have reproductions that can be touched. But the piece in Vienna has one special part: it is made with widely available 3-D printing technology. That means one day, blind art fans anywhere in the world could download the source files and print the reproductions themselves.
【1】What is “The Kiss”?
A．A European Union project.
B．A popular painting
C．A 3-D technology.
D．A famous museum.
【2】Why did Reichinger say this reproduction was difficult to finish?
A．The painting was reproduced detailedly.
B．The original artwork was made in 1908.
C．Blind art fans can’t download the source files.
D．The 3-D technology is not available.
【3】What is the best title for the text?
A．A European Union Program for Museum Visitors
B．How to Reproduce the World-famous Paintings
C．A Special Museum for Art Fans in Vienna, Austria
D．3-D Printing Lets the Blind Experience Famous Paintings
27、 When you eat out in a restaurant, it is not unusual to hear people yelling, “Let me get this one!” and sometimes see them pushing or arm wrestling to fight for the privilege of paying the bill.
These fighters are often very loud and active. Each person involved shows an honest desire to pick up the bill, and in the end, all the people at the table give the winner praise and gratitude.
In fact, figuring out who will get the bill is always a headache for Chinese people at formal meals. Although the people hosting the meal are very likely to pay the check, it is a common practice to make a token(装样子的) effort to pay the bill, but you will embarrass them if you do end up actually chipping in some cash.
In recent years, going Dutch has been embraced by many young people. But older generations who fear “losing face” still find it embarrassing and stingy (小气的) to calculate each person’s share of the bill. As travel guide brand Lonely Planet noted, it is considered “the height of unsophistication (不懂人情世故)”.
But these days, thanks to digital payment apps, splitting the bill electronically is becoming a widely-accepted idea. Even people from older generations may be tempted to do so.
By scanning a QR code and paying the share via social networking tool WeChat and e-commerce app Alipay on their smartphones in one easy click, urban Chinese are finding it easier to save them the embarrassment of figuring out each person’s payment when they order a meal.
This function “has made going Dutch less hassle (麻烦) and more fun in China”, CNN noted.
“Because of their convenience, many of us are never without our phones.” And person-to-person mobile payment services are incredibly easy to use and save the trouble of dealing with change,” said 18-year-old student in China. “You can also leave funny notes using emoji (表情符号) like a bowl of rice or a cup of tea to describe a meal that you have shared.”
【1】What is the article mainly about?
A. The Chinese tradition of dining out with friends.
B. A new trend of splitting the bill in China.
C. How social networking tools have influenced our daily lives.
D. Why people in China argue over who pays the bill when dining out.
【2】Many Chinese people make a token effort to pay the bill because .
A. They don’t want to be considered unsophisticated
B. They want praise and gratitude from their friends
C. They consider it an honor to host the meal and pay the bill
D. They find it hard to work out how much each person needs to pay
【3】According to the article, what are the advantages of using digital payment apps to split the bill?
a. They’re easier to use and more interesting.
b. They save the trouble of dealing with change.
c. They make it easier to figure out how much money each person had to pay.
d. They make people less embarrassed to split the bill.
A. a, b B. b. c
C. a, b, d D. b, c, d

29、 Due to the outbreak of the novel coronavirus pneumonia （NCP）, people all over the world are wearing masks to reduce the risk of infection. It's a very simple but incredibly effective method to protect oneself from a variety of harmful things. In fact, masks have been helping mankind for centuries. Let's take a look at some mask-related history.
1st century
In that era, many people in Roman Empire worked underground in mines to support their families. But most of them suffered from and even eventually died of respiratory （呼吸的） illnesses. To address this problem, Pliny the Elder （23-79 AD）, a Roman philosopher and naturalist, recommended the use of animal bladder （膀胱）skins to stop dust from being breathed in. Although primitive, his idea was considered the very first recorded mask invention.
16th century
Early inventions did not stop with Pliny. Many centuries later, Italian artist and inventor Leonardo da Vinci （1452-1519）, proposed using a woven cloth dipped in water over the face to protect against the poisonous chemicals.
19th century
The design of the mask look a big step forward in the 19th century. In 1848, American Lewis Hassley became the first person to patent （注册专利）a protective mask for miners, which was a milestone in face mask history. Masks at this stage were similar to gas masks. Later, in 1897, Polish-Austrian doctor Johann von Mikulicz-Radccki designed a simple mask composed of one layer of gauze （纱中1）, recommending medical workers to wear it to prevent infection. That was the first recorded use of a surgical mask.
20th century
In 1910. an epidemic broke out in Northeast China. Chinese doctor Wu Liande designed a cheap face mask called "Wu's mask". Made of two layers of surgical gauze, it could be wrapped around the back of the head and tied in a knot. This mask was praised by experts around the world, as it was simple to manufacture （制作）and had a low production cost. Modem exploration
With several outbreaks of infectious diseases and the flu. and the rise of pollution caused by industrial waste, the materials in masks have continued to evolve to better protect its wearer. For example, in 2012 when China suffered from smog, mask models such as N95 and KN90. which can filter out this fine particulate （微 粒）mailer, became highly popular. In the future. masks will continue to improve, hopefully so will the habits of humans.
