Welcome to the Civic Art Museum’s Exhibit of West African Art, showing pieces from our collections. Background

The peoples of West Africa, including the Yoruba, the Dogon, the Igbo, and the Akan, have a long art tradition. Tribes (部落) in the area have developed different styles of art and architecture that are suited to the climate and available materials and based on their traditions.

Gallery A: Photographs of Traditional West African Architecture

This section shows historical and contemporary photographs of traditional West African architecture. Of particular interest are the photographs of the Dogon village. The design of the Dogon village is based on the human figure. Certain types of buildings are placed in particular areas according to the Dogon’s complex philosophical (哲学上的) tradition. For example, the men’s houses are placed in the “head” of the village, the leader’s house is in the “chest,” and the women’s houses are in the “hands.”Gallery B: West African Masks

The art of mask making is well developed in West Africa. Masks are important to West African traditions and have clear social, political, and economic roles. However, most masks are worn only at particular times or on special occasions. For example, among the Dan and the Kota, certain people wear special masks to show their power when they act as judges and policemen within the community. Among the Bambara of Mali, headdresses are worn during planting and harvest celebrations.

Gallery C: West African Sculptures

West African sculptures are made from materials such as metal or wood. They are based on tribal traditions and are quite different. The Dogon are especially known for making figures of their ancestors. They believe their ancestors, called Nommo, came down from the sky at the beginning of time. Nommo figures are often shown with their hands reaching out to the sky. The collection contains several wonderful examples of Nommo sculptures.

21. What is special about Dogon houses?

A. They are shaped like human beings.

B. They are designed by the village leader.

C. They are grouped according to tradition.

D. They have many photographs inside them.

22. West African masks ____________.

A. have recently developed

B. play many different roles

C. are mainly worn at harvest time

D. show the everyday life of the Dan

23. What do we know about the Dogon people?

A. They are afraid of Nommo figures.

B. They make statues of their ancestors.

C. They believe they will return to the sky.

D. They straighten their arms to show respect.

B

Several years ago, I received an e-mail from a total stranger —a 17-year-old girl named Monica Gottlieb, who lived in Vienna. In poor English, she explained that she was doing an online search for people who shared the same names as members of her family. She tried her 19-year-old brother’s name —Marcus, and that was how she hit upon me. Monica asked me to write back and tell her a little something about myself, which I did.

Not long after our first exchanges, Monica’s mother, Regine, wrote to me. Regine’s English was a little better than Monica, so she was able to provide more details about their life in Vienna. She also mentioned that she and her husband Michael were planning their first visit to the US. As motorcycle lovers, they intended to make a two-wheeled tour of California and the Southwestern states. She wondered if I could tell her something that I thought they should know before they began their great adventure.

I spent about an hour putting together what I considered reasonably practical advice and sent it along. Regine wrote back with thanks, and told me if I came to Vienna, I should consider the Gottlieb family home as my own. She even offered me both a room and a key to the house.

The Gottliebs eventually made their motorcycle trip and enjoyed every minute of it. Eight months later, I was welcomed to Austria by the Gottlieb family.

We got to know each other fairly quickly. Michael and I even seemed to hit it off particularly well. Almost the same age, and sharing a similar sense of humor, we were soon so comfortable with each other.

A few days later, Michael, Regine, and I were walking off the big meal we had just had at an open-air restaurant. As we walked and chatted, an older man coming toward us said something in German to Regine. She replied politely, laughing. After he passed by, I asked Regine if the man was a friend.

“No,” she said. “He looked at you and Michael and said, ‘It’s nice to see two brothers out for a walk together.’”

Brothers? Well — not quite. But perhaps long-lost cousins after all.

24. Which of the following helped start the author’s friendship with Monica?

A. A stranger.

B. Names.

C. Hobbies.

D. A visit.

25. Why did Regine write her first e-mail to the author?

A. To invite him to join their two-wheeled tour.

B. To offer practical advice about his trip to Vienna.

C. To ask for some useful information about the US.

D. To provide him with information about California.

26. Which can be used to describe the author’s trip to Vienna?

A. Tiring.

B. Boring.

C. Fruitless.

D. Pleasant.

C

It is National Sleep Awareness Week and reflecting on the importance of this basic act is timely. As a preventive cardiologist (心脏病专家), I work with patients who want to improve their health and lengthen their lives. Many of them have major risk factors for heart disease; others already have full-blown heart disease or have experienced a heart attack.

Traditionally, patients who want to improve their heart health have received four main suggestions from their doctors: Eat a healthy diet, get more exercise, quit smoking, and enjoy proper amounts of alcohol. Plenty of research backs up these four pieces of advice: Large studies have found that making improvements in these four areas lowers the chance of dying of heart disease by 67 percent.

But lately, researchers are starting to recognize that there should be five recommendations on that list, not just four. They’re disco vering that getting enough sleep is a powerful health protector as well. When researchers include enough sleep in their studies as a fifth cardio-preventive behavior change, they find that it lowers the chance of dying of heart disease even more: Adding a good seven hours of sleep a night in addition to making positive changes in diet, exercise, smoking, and alcohol intake lowers the chance of dying of heart disease by 83 percent.

When that news started coming out, doctors began tagging (添加) sleep onto their list of recommended health behavior changes. But I don’t think sleep belongs at the bottom of the list. I think it should be at the top! I believe that getting enough sleep — at least seven to eight hours per night for most people — is the most important health behavior change you can make to improve the health of your heart and your overall health.

Sure, I’d prefer that everyone mak e all of the big five lifestyle changes, but if I could only choose one, I’d pick sleep because wh en you are well-rested, you have more power to make the right choices

about what you eat and drink, and you have more energy to exercise and you have the resilience you need to kick bad habits such as smoking and overeating. But when you’re exhausted, ever ything in life is more difficult.

27. What does plenty of research show about the 4 common suggestions?

A. They should be reconsidered.

B. They are the best ways found so far.

C. They are not as helpful as expected.

D. They help impro ve people’s health.

28. What does the latest research show?

A. Various factors lead to good heart health.

B. Enough sleep contributes to good heart health.

C. Seven hours’ sleep is most important to the heart.

D. The chance of dying of heart disease has dropped.

29. What was the doctors’ reaction to the news on sleep?

A. They tried to ignore it.

B. They discussed it publicly.

C. They thought it made sense.

D. They totally changed their mind.

30. What does the last paragraph mainly talk about?

A. What the importance of a healthy lifestyle is.

B. Why different factors need to work together.

C. What prevents people from living healthily.

D. Why the author makes sleep his No. 1 suggestion.

Get yourself lost

Travelers to a new city are often encouraged to take a bus tour. __31__ But that's nonsense! What we see from the inside of a fast-moving bus is unreal, fully removed from the authentic (真实的) sights, sounds and smells outside.

The best way to experience any destination (目的地) is by foot, without a plan, wandering where your spirit leads you. “But what if I get lost?” people ask. __32__ You can easily return to the center of town by taking a bus with the words “Central Station” on its front. Besides, if you do get lost, you can stop at a sidewalk cafe to sit and relax and then ask directions from the locals at the next table.

Here are a few ways to make the most of your travels:

1. Know before you go. Before you start, spend time in a library or bookstore, learning about the history and culture of your destination. __33 _

2. Move around like a local. __34__ You'll not only save money, but learn how people live there.

3. __35__ If you must book a guided tour, select the nonstandard, inexpensive kinds led on foot.

So, the next time you feel attracted by a sightseeing bus tour, save your money and instead, wander around on your own. I promise you a time you'll remember fondly.

A. Take a walking tour.

B. Read the guidebook carefully.

C. Use the local subways and buses.

D. No one ever gets completely lost in a major city.

E. If so, you will better understand the place you're visiting.

F. The free bus can give you a chance to join or meet the locals.

G. The thinking is that it allows us to do some sightseeing easily on the bus.

Student Council 第二节:概要写作(满分25分)

47.阅读下面短文,根据其内容写一篇60字左右的内容概要。

In recent years, our parenting culture began to send the message that competence was important for building self-esteem. However, that same parenting culture made a big mistake by telling parents that the way to instill competence in their children was to tell them how competent

they were. But here's the problem. Children can't be convinced that they are competent.

When parents try to convince their children of how competent they are, they often have the exact opposite effect. There is this little thing called reality that children have to confront on a daily basis. When children are faced with the conflict between what their parents had told them about how good they are and what reality is telling them, the resu lt is the bursting of the “You are the best” bubble that their parents blew up for them.

You can, however, do several things to encourage them to develop their own competence. First, you can give them opportunities in their daily lives to gain a sense of competence, for example, dressing, eating, drawing, cooking, and interacting with others. These daily experiences allow your children to develop specific competencies that will be helpful to them as they progress through childhood and into adulthood.

Second, you can be sure that they gain the most value from their experiences. You can direct

their focus to the competencies that enabled those successes (e.g., “You were really focused and worked h ard on that project.”) rather than some generic praise of the accomplishment itself (e.g., “Good job.!). And you can praise their accomplishments (e.g., “You must feel so good about your project.”).

But you shouldn't just focus on the successes because, as every parent knows, as your children develop, they will experience far more failures than successes as they begin to gain competence. How you react often dictates how they will respond to those failures. if you are positive

and supportive, your children will get the message that failure is okay and just a part of life.

书面表达:

Dear fellow students,

As we all know, reading can not only broaden our horizons, but also keep our mind active, and help reduce stress. Therefore, let’s develop the habit of reading and enjoy the benefits of reading together. Here’s what we can do to achieve this goal.

First of all, spend a certain amount of time reading books every day instead of playing computer games or watching TV. Secondly, it is a good idea to visit bookstores or libraries regularly to buy or borrow our favorite books. Lastly, why not share the knowledge we gain from reading with our friends or classmates? This will not only do good to our writing but also promote our friendship.

Enjoy reading, enjoy lif e! Let’s take action!

2019年高考英语七选五 专题训练及答案

高考七选五专题训练 根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 一 I started working at Pizza Hut in December 1989, when I was a freshman in high school. All new employees started by washing dishes and busing tables. If they proved their ability, they learned to make pizzas, cut and serve them on wooden paddles and take orders. 1 I couldn’t keep up, and piles of dishes formed on all sides of me. Every time the pile decreased, the call came back to help clear tables out front, and I returned with more dirty dishes. My shift (轮班) was supposed to end at 9 p.m., but when I asked to leave, the manager, Jeff, shook his head. “Not until the work is done,”he said. “You leave a clean station. 2 However, I worked until after 10 that night. I stayed on dish duty for weeks. My heart sank every time I arrived at work and saw my name written next to “dishes” on the position chart. I spent my shifts behind those steel sinks. I hated every minute I spent on dish duty. 3 One slow mid-week night, when I managed to catch up on dishes and clean out the sinks early, I asked Jeff when I could do something different. “Do you know why you’re still doing dishes?”he asked. “Because you keep complaining about it.” 4 But, he promised, if I continued to leave a clean station and not complain, next week he would put me on the “make table,” where pizzas were put together before being put into the oven. A few days later, when I reported for my after-school shift, I saw my name penciled not in the “dishes” box but in the “make table” box. 5 A. I was excited. B. Some write on a chalkboard. C. I was angry and thought about quitting. D. Nobody likes to work with a complainer, he said. E. And I wasn’t afraid to let everyone around me know it. F. On my first night, the dishes piled up after the dinner rush. G. The people who make a difference in your life come in all types.

2019高考浙江英语试题及答案

浙江卷 阅读理解 A 【文章大意】本文讲述了Zac归还紫心勋章的故事。 21.A【解析:由第二段中“Zac knows the meaning of a Purple Heart-he earned one himself in a war as a soldier”可知,Zac 的紫心勋章是他自己得到的。而被他母亲在古董店意外得到的是Adeline保存着的勋章。】 22.B【解析:mean business意为“认真的;严肃的”。由Zac的话“To drive eight hours to come to see me”也可猜测到Zac能理解Adeline对于勋章的重视程度。】 23.D【解析:倒数第二段中Adeline的话说明Adeline一开始并不明白为何她的父母十分看重家里的紫心勋章,直到她长大了,开始怀念兄长时才明白这枚勋章承载的意义。所以是对兄长的怀念使Adeline珍藏着勋章。】 B 【文章大意】本文通过一个街头活动呼吁人们要保有善心、乐善好施。 24.C【解析:no strings attached指“无附加条件;不求回报”;without conditions意为“无条件”,故选C。由后文“Give What You Can”和“many others pinned their own cash to the board”也可体现。】 25.B【解析:前文说“People of all ages, races, and socio-economic(社会经济的)backgrounds”可知有很多人都参与到了这个项目中。因此后文新娘的事情是就此进行进一步的说明。】26.D【解析:由文章最后Bridges的话“Some days you need a helping hand and some days you can be the one giving the helping hand.”可知这个项目的主要目的是鼓励人们心存善意、伸出援手。】 C 【文章大意】本文分析了加利福尼亚高大乔木数量减少的原因。 27.A【解析:由第二段首句可以看出高大树木的数量锐减,且没有地区能够幸免于难,整体形势十分严峻,故选A。】 28.D【解析:第三段包含了四个选项的内容,“Aggressive wildfire control”尽管控制野火但是导致小树和高大的树木争抢生长资源。】 29.C【解析:倒数第一对缺水原因进行分析。由“...have been rising temperatures, which cause trees to lose more water to the air, and earlier snowmelt, which reduces the water supply...”可知选C。】 30.A【解析:本文主要摆出了加利福尼亚州高大树木数量减少的现状并且分析了原因,故A 项最贴合文意。】 七选五 【文章大意】本文简单介绍了对rock music影响深远的乐队——the Beatles。 31.C【解析:由下一句中“At that time”可知此处应该谈及时间段。】 32.B【解析:前文提到了“extremely popular in England”,此处应该承接这个话题将他们是有多受欢迎,故选B。】 33.A【解析:下一句提到了“the Americans”所以此处选提及了去美国的A项。】 34.G【解析:空后句主语为“The concert”,故该空应当也是concert相关,故选G。】 35.E【解析:空前一句是感谢the Beatles为rock and roll做出的卓越贡献,故表现the Beatles 对其他乐队影响的E项更符合文章思路。】

2019高考英语 阅读理解专题选编(12)(含解析)

2019高考英语阅读理解专题选编(12) 李仕才 A In 1959, when Jean Harper was in the third grade, her teacher gave the class an assignment to write a report on what they wanted to be when they grew up. Jean’s father was a crop dusting pilot in the little farming community in N orthern California where she was raised, and Jean was very interested in airplanes and flying. She poured her heart into her report and included all of her dreams. She wanted to be a crop dusting pilot, make parachute jumps(跳伞), and be an airline pilot. Her paper came back with an "F" on it. The teacher told her it was a "fairy tale" and that none of the occupations she listed were women’s jobs. Jean was devastated and humiliated. One day in her senior year of high school, her English teacher Mrs Dorothy Slaton gave the class an assignment. "If you had unlimited money, unlimited access to the finest schools, and unlimited talents and abilities, what would you do?" Jean felt a rush of her old enthusiasm, and with excitement she wrote down all her old dreams. The teacher leaned forward over her desk and said, "You do have unlimited abilities and talents. When you leave school, if you don’t go for your dreams, no one will do it for you. You can have what you want if you want it enough." The hurt and fear of years of discouragement went away because of what Mrs Slaton had said. Jean felt excited and a little scared. She stayed after class and went up to the teacher’s desk. Jean thanked Mrs Slaton and told her about her dream of becoming a pilot. Mrs Slaton half rose and slapped the desk top. "Then do it!" she said. So Jean did. It didn’t happen overnight. It took her 10 years of hard work. It wasn’t in Jean’s nature to stand up for herself when someone refused or humiliated her. Instead, she would quietly try to find another way. She became a private pilot and then flew planes as a co-pilot (副驾驶员). In 1978, she became one of the first three female pilot trainees ever accepted by United Airlines and one of the only 50 women airline pilots in the nation at that time. Some years later, Jean Harper became a Boeing 737 captain for United Airlines. 1.When Jean Harper was in the third grade, _________.

2019年浙江省高考英语试卷(解析版)

2019年浙江省高考英语试卷 一、阅读理解(本大题共10小题,共25.0分) A Zachariah Fike has an unusual hobby.He finds old military(军队的)medals for sale in antique stores and on the Internet.But unlike most collectors,Zac tracks down the medals' rightful owners,and returns them. His effort to reunite families with lost medals began with a Christmas gift from his mother,a Purple Heart with the name Corrado A.G.Piccoli,found in an antique shop.Zac knows the meaning of a Purple Heart-he earned one himself in a war as a soldier.So when his mother gave him the medal,he knew right away what he had to do. Through the Internet,Zac tracked down Corrado's sister Adeline Rockko.But when he finally reached her,the woman flooded him with questions:"Who are you?What antique shop?" However,when she hung up,she regretted the way she had handled the call.So she called Zac back and apologized.Soon she drove to meet Zac in Watertown,N.Y."At that point,I knew she meant business," Zac says."To drive eight hours to come to see me." The Piccolis grew up the children of Italian immigrants in Watertown.Corrado,a translator for the Army during WWII,was killed in action in Europe. Before hearing from Zac,Adeline hadn't realized the medal was missing.Like many military medals,the one Zac's mother had found was a family treasure." This medal was very precious to my parents.Only on special occasions(场合)would they take it out and let us hold it in our hands," Adeline says. As a child,Adeline couldn't understand why the medal was so significant."But as I grew older," Adeline says,"and missed my brother more and more,I realized that was the only thing we had left." Corrado Piccoli's Purple Heart medal now hangs at the Italian American Civic Association in Watertown. Zac recently returned another lost medal to a family in Alabama.Since he first reunited Corrado's medal,Zac says his record is now 5 for 5. 1.Where did Zac get a Purple Heart medal for himself?______ A. In the army. B. In an antique shop. C. From his mother. D. From Adeline Rockko. 2.What did Zac realize when Adeline drove to meet him?______ A. She was very impolite. B. She was serious about the medal. C. She suspected his honesty. D. She came from a wealthy family. 3.What made Adeline treasure the Purple Heart?______ A. Her parents' advice. B. Her knowledge of antiques. C. Her childhood dream. D. Her memory of her brother. B Money with no strings attached. It's not something you see every day. But at Union Station in Los Angeles last month, a board went up with dollar bills attached to it with pins and a sign that read, "Give What You Can,Take What You Need." People quickly caught on. And while many took dollars, many others pinned their own cash to the board. "People of all ages, races, and socio-economic(社会经济的) backgrounds gave and took," said Tyler Bridges of The Toolbox, which created the project. "We even had a bride in her wedding dress come up to the board and take a few dollars." Most of the bills on the board were singles, but a few people left fives,tens and even twenties.The video clip(片段) shows one man who had found a $20 bill pinning it to the board. "What I can say for the folks that gave the most,is that they were full of smiles," Bridges said. "There's a certain feeling that giving can do for you and that was apparent in those that gave the most." Most people who took dollars took only a few, but Bridges said a very small number took as much as they could. While the clip might look like part of a new ad campaign, Bridges said the only goal was to show generosity and sympathy. He added that he hopes people in other cities might try similar projects and post their own videos on the Internet. "After all, everyone has bad days and good days." he said. "Some days you need a helping hand and some days you can be the one giving the helping hand." 4.What does the expression "Money with no strings attached" in Paragraph 1 mean? A. Money spent without hesitation. B. Money not legally made. C. Money offered without conditions. D. Money not tied together. 5.What did Bridges want to show by mentioning the bride? A. Women tended to be more sociable. B. The activity attracted various people. C. Economic problems were getting worse. D. Young couples needed financial assistance. 6.Why did Bridges carry out the project? A. To do a test on people?s morals. B. To raise money for his company. C. To earn himself a good reputation. D. To promote kindness and sympathy. C California has lost half its big trees since the 1930s, according to a study to be published Tuesday and climate change seems to be a major factor(因素). The number of trees larger than two feet across has declined by 50 percent on more than 46,000 square miles of California forests, the new study finds. No area was spared or unaffected, from the foggy northern coast to the Sierra Nevada Mountains to the San Gabriels above Los Angeles. In the Sierra high country, the number of big trees has fallen by more than 55 percent; in parts of southern California the decline was nearly 75 percent. Many factors contributed to the decline, said Patrick McIntyre, an ecologist who was the lead author of the study. Woodcutters targeted big trees. Housing development pushed into the woods. Aggressive wildfire control has left California forests crowded with small trees that compete with big trees for resources(资源). But in comparing a study of California forests done in the 1920s and 1930s with another one between 2001 and 2010, McIntyre and his colleagues documented a widespread death of big trees that was evident even in wildlands protected from woodcutting or development. The loss of big trees was greatest in areas where trees had suffered the greatest water shortage. The researchers figured out water stress with a computer model that calculated how much water trees were getting in comparison with how much they needed, taking into account such things as rainfall, air temperature, dampness of soil,and the timing of snowmelt(融雪). Since the 1930s, McIntyre said,the biggest factors driving up water stress in the state have been rising temperatures,which cause trees to lose more water to the air, and earlier snowmelt, which reduces the water supply available to trees during the dry season. 7.What is the second paragraph mainly about? A. The seriousness of big-tree loss in California. B. The increasing variety of California big trees. C. The distribution of big trees in California forests. D. The influence of farming on big trees in California. 8.Which of the following is well-intentioned but may be bad for big trees? A. Ecological studies of forests. B. Banning woodcutting. C. Limiting housing development. D. Fire control measures. 9.What is a major cause of the water shortage according to McIntyre? A. Inadequate snowmelt. B. A longer dry season. C. A warmer climate. D. Dampness of the air. 10.What can be a suitable title for the text?
