【題目】The painter Craigie Aitchison was born in Scotland. He came to London intending(打算)to study law, but went to art school instead. There he found the traditional drawing classes diffcult, but still kept on painting.

In his late twenties he was given money by the Italian government to study art and liked early Italian artists, which shows in some of his work. He loved the greens and browns of the Italian fields and the clear light there, and wanted to put this light into his paintings.

This led him to paint colours thinly one on top of another from light to dark, but he insists he's never sure what the results will be. He says, "It's a secret-because I don't know myself. I don't start by painting yellow, knowing I'm going to put anything on top." Like most talented people, Aitchison makes it sound easy. "Anyone can do the colours-you can buy them. I simply notice what you put the colours next to."

Unlike some artists, he never does drawings before he starts a painting, as he feels that if he did, he might get bored and not do the painting afterwards. Instead, Aitchison changes his paintings many times before they are finished. This explains why his favourite models are people who don't ask to see their pictures while he's painting them. "If I feel they're worried and want to look at the painting, I can't do it."

Since moving to London years ago, he has not felt part of the Scottish(蘇格蘭的)painting scene. He says he doesn't want to follow any tradition, but just paints the way he can. However, his work still influences young British painters.

【1】In the passage, the writer is trying to .

A. describe particular works by Craigie Aitchison

B. teach readers how to paint like Craigie Aitchison

C. introduce the artist Craigie Aitchison to the readers

D. explain how Craigie Aitchison has made money from painting

【2】What can the reader learn about Aitchison from the passage?

A. He works in a different way from other artists.

B. He often gets bored easily with his paintings.

C. He found the drawing classes easy at art school.

【3】Aitchison prefers models who don't .

A. keep moving around while he's working

B. ask him about his strange method of working

C. worry about how long the work will take

D. feel worried to see the work as it's developing

【4】What might a visitor at an exhibition say about Aitchison's work?

A. I love his recent painting of Scotland, which are very similar to a number of other Scottish painters.

B. You can still see the influence of his trip to Italy in some of these pictures.

C. You can tell he spent a lot of time drawing the picture before he started painting.

D. I wonder if his law training helps him at all, especially in selling his work.

【題目】Drugs（藥物）come in different ways. However, can you imagine that drugs come in chicken eggs? A team of scientists from England say that it can come true. They have developed special chickens that lay eggs with drugs inside. These special drugs can help with some kinds of illnesses. Until now, they have made two kinds of drugs. One drug can deal with skin problems and the other can deal with a nerve disease(神經(jīng)性疾病).

Certain drugs are produced by the special chickens inside their egg whites. These drugs are made of proteins which can be found in animals’ skin, hair, milk and meat. The scientists also use DNA technology to make sure that the drugs are only inside the egg whites. In this way, the chickens can stay healthy.

Besides egg whites, drugs made of proteins come in milk of cows and sheep. Compared with cows and sheep, the special chickens have ascendancy over them. First, they are cheaper to raise. Second, they need less room and grow faster.

These special chickens can pass on their drug-producing ability. So far, five generations of the special chickens have appeared. But scientists may need more time to make the drugs perfect. It’s said that scientists will realize their dream in five to ten years.

【題目】閱讀E篇短文，回答下列問題。

Eleven countries are building a great wall of trees across Africa. It is called the Great Green Wall. The aim is to bring life to the dry lands and help to fight the bad environment.

The wall is 8, 000 kilometers long and 15 kilometers wide. It covers from Senegal in the west to Djibouti in the east, on the south of the Sahara Desert (撒哈拉沙漠). So far, Senegal has made the best progress by planting about 11,000,000 trees.

Many years ago, there were few trees in that area and the winds used to be very strong. It was harmful to the fields. Also, there was little rain, so few plants could grow and many people went hungry. Since the tree planting project started, the trees have provided food for the local people and increased the wetness (濕度) of the air. Little by little, there appeared green fields for people to grow plant.

The project which began in 2007 is supposed to cost a total of 8, 000, 000, 000 dollars. Many countries are trying their best to help to continue the planting. So we will be able to see the whole green wall across Africa in the near future!

【1】Why are the countries building the wall of trees?

【2】Where is the great wall of trees?

【3】Why couldn't many plants grow in that area many years ago?
