19.A new"Rembrandt"painting created in Amsterdam is making headlines around the world.However,the authentic-looking masterpiece is not the work of the 17th-century Dutch artist.It is a new painting that uses technology to imitate Rembrandt's technique so perfectly that it could easily be mistaken for one created by the great artist himself.
It took a team 18 months to complete the clever fake.Called the"Next Rembrandt,"it uses data and technology to bring one of the greatest artists of all time back to life.
The team began by collecting data from the Dutch artist's 346 paintings to help them imitate his technique,choice of color,structure,and topic,as closely as possible.Once ready,the individual elements were put together to form the face and the bust (半身像)in the same size as the original paintings created by the Dutch artist.The team then used technology to add depth to the 2D image.Once ready,a 3D printer was used to bring the"Next Rembrandt"back to life-a portrait of a white male between 30 and 40 years old,wearing black clothes,a white collar,and hat.
An expert in the team says the goal of the project was to start a discussion about how data and technology could become an essential part of the art world.While the project did receive some criticism from a few experts,many art historians including Rembrandt experts were incredibly supportive.They even acted as advisors to ensure that the"Next Rembrandt"would be a masterpiece-one that even the famous Dutch artist would be proud of.
Born in Amsterdam in 1606,Rembrandt Harmenszoon van Rijn is one of the world's most famous artists.The productive painter was famous for his portraits thanks to his ability to grab realistic emotions.Unfortunately,like many artists of his time,Rembrandt's talents were not recognized during this lifetime.The artist died penniless in 1669,after suffering through many years of hardship.

A.A Dutch artist.
B.A new technology.
C.A new"Rembrandt"painting.
D.An art exhibit in Amsterdam.

A.To try to use data and technology on art works.
B.To make a new masterpiece by Rembrandt.
C.To prove new technology is great.

B.was born in Amsterdam in 1669.
C.was world-famous when he was alive.

7.Wealth starts with a goal and saving a dollar at a time.Call it the piggy bank strategy(策略).There are lessons in that time-honored coin-saving container.
Any huge task seems easier when reduced to baby steps.If you wished to climb a 12,000-foot mountain,and could do it a day at a time,you would only have to climb 33 feet daily to reach the top in a year.If you want to take a really nice trip in 10 years for a special occasion,to collect the 15,000cost,youhavetosave3.93 a day.If you drop that into a piggy bank and then once a year put $1,434 in a savings account at 1% interest rate after-tax,you will have your trip money.
When I was a child,my parents gave me a piggy bank to teach me that,if I wanted something,I should save money to buy it.We associate piggy banks with children,but in many countries,the little containers are also popular with adults.Europeans see a piggy bank as a sign of good fortune and wealth.Around the world,many believe a gift of a piggy bank on New Year's Day brings good luck and financial success.Ah,but you have to put something in it.
Why is a pig used as a symbol of saving?Why not an elephant bank,which is bigger and holds more coins?In the Middle Ages,before modern banking and credit instruments,people saved money at home,a few coins at a time dropped into a jar or dish.Potters(制陶工) made these inexpensive containers from an orange-colored clay(黏土) called"pygg,"and folks saved coins in pygg jars.The Middle English word for pig was"pigge".While the Saxons pronounced pygg,referring to the clay,as"pug",eventually the two words changed into the same pronunciation,sounding the"i"as in pig or piggy.As the word became less associated with the orange clay and more with the animal,a clever potter fashioned a pygg jar in the shape of a pig,delighting children and adults.The piggy bank was born.
Originally you had to break the bank to get to the money,bringing in a sense of seriousness into savings.While piggy banks teach children the wisdom of saving,adults often need to relearn childhood lessons.Think about the things in life that require large amounts of money---college education,weddings,cars,medical care,starting a business,buying a home,and fun stuff like great trips.So when you have money,take off the top 10%,put it aside,save and invest wisely.
 
21.What is the piggy bank strategy?D
A.Paying 1% income tax at a time.
B.Setting a goal before making a travel plan.
C.Aiming high even when doing small things.
D.Putting aside a little money regularly for future use.
22.Why did the writer's parents give him a piggy bank as a gift?C
A.To delight him with the latest fashion.
B.To encourage him to climb mountains.
C.To help him form the habit of saving.
D.To teach him English pronunciation.
23.What does the underlined word"something"(Paragraph 3)most probably refer to?A
A.Money
B.Gifts
C.Financial success
D.Good luck
24.The last paragraph talks aboutC
A.the seriousness of educating children
B.the enjoyment of taking a great trip
C.the importance of managing money
D.the difficulty of starting a business.

The polar bears'world is melting.Studies show that the polar ice(44)has reduced(reduce) by 9.8% every 10 years since l978.Now about 20,000 to 25,000 polar bears live in the Arctic.Polar bears depend on the sea ice for their(45)survival(survive)."The sea ice is more(46)thanjust this platform that the bears walk over,"says Andrew Derocher,a scientist who studies North American polar bear populations."Without(47)it,they can't exist."

8.High-tech machines have made life easier for millions around the world.However,some people still prefer low-tech ways of doing things.Here's an example of why this is happening.You can microwave a frozen hamburger in 60 seconds.However,it won't taste as good as one you cook on the stove.And if you're in that much of a hurry,you probably won't take time to toast the bun.High-tech cooking saves time,but it doesn't make for better tasting meals.
Most people get their news from high-tech sources like television or the Internet.This has many advantages.For example,electronic news is more up to date than newspapers or magazines.It's also more exciting to see live and videotaped news events than photographs.However,newspapers and magazines have some important advantages.They give more background and details.They also let you read the parts that are important to you and skip the rest.
Other high-tech time savers have similar disadvantages.For example,most people use the phone or email to stay in touch with friends and family members who live in other places.But when you use the Internet or the phone,you don't always think carefully about what you are saying,and sometimes you forget the important things you want to communicate.Similarly,when you word-process a homework assignment instead of handwriting it,you can check your spelling electronically and put in fancy headings.However,some students are so busy with the computer that they don't pay enough attention to the actual words they are writing.

29.What do we know about high-tech cooking?D
A.It can't make much food.
B.It is popular with every family.
C.It makes food slower than low-tech cooking.
D.It can't make food as delicious as low-tech cooking.
30.What is an advantage of the news in newspapers compared to that on the Internet?C
A.Quick updates.
B.Live news events.
C.Detailed information.
D.Convenient news sources.
31.Which of the following proverbs can summarize the text?C
A.Easy come,easy go.
B.Better late than never.
C.Every coin has two sides.
D.Learn to walk before you run.

9.After 21 years of marriage,my wife wanted me to take another woman out to dinner and a movie.The other woman was my mother.It was 19 years since my father had passed away.However,the demands of my work and my three children had made it possible to visit her only occasionally.
That Friday after work,when I arrived at her house,my mother was waiting in the door with her coat on.She had done her hair and was wearing the dress that she had worn to celebrate her last wedding anniversary.
We went to a restaurant that,although not elegant,was very nice and comfortable.My mother took my arm as if she were the First Lady.During the dinner,we had an agreeable conversation about nothing extraordinary but just caught up on recent events.We talked so much that we missed the movie.
As we arrived at her house later,she said,"I'll go out with you again,but only if you let me invite you."I agreed.A few days later,my mother died of a serious heart attack.It happened so suddenly that I didn't have a chance to do anything for her.
Sometime later,I received an envelope with a copy of a restaurant receipt from the same place where mother and I had dined.An attached note said:"I paid this bill in advance.I wasn't sure whether I could be there; still,I paid for two plates-one for you and the other for your wife.You will never know what that night meant for me.I love you,Son."
At that moment,I understood the importance of saying"I love you"and of giving our loved ones the time they deserve.Nothing in life is more important than family.Give family members the attention they deserve,because these things cannot be put off till some"other"time.

1.The author described how his mother looked to showA.
A.the importance of the dinner
B.a(chǎn)n atmosphere of happiness
C.the importance of table manners
D.readers his mother's character
2.The author should be thankful toC.
A.the movie   B.his children    C.his wife    D.the bill
3.What can we infer from the story?B
A.The author doesn't like his work and children.
B.The author's mother felt satisfied to have a dinner with her son.
C.The author and his mother saw a movie together after their dinner.
D.The author and his mother talked about big events during their dinner.
4.The author probably agreed thatC.
A.failure is the mother of success
B.family should be as important as work
C.we should spend more time with our family
D.a(chǎn) good heart is sure to find another to match it.
