2．We live in a town with three beaches.There are two parks less than 10 minutes' walk from home where neighbourhood children gather to play.However，what my children want to do after school is to pick up a screen，any screen，and stare at it for hours.They are not alone.Today's children spend an average of four and a half hours a day looking at screens，split between watching television and using the Internet.
In the past few years，an increasing number of people and organisations have begun coming up with plans to resist this trend.A couple of years ago，film-maker David Bond realised that his children，then aged five and three，were attached to screens to the point where he was able to say "chocolate" into his three-year-old son's ear without getting a response.He realised that something needed to change，and，being a London media type，appointed himself "marketing director for Nature".He recorded his journey as he set about treating nature as a brand to be marketed to young people.The result was Project Wild Thing，a film which charts the birth of the Wild Network，a group of organisations with the common goal of getting children out into nature.
"Just five more minutes outdoors can make a difference， " David Bond says. "There is a lot of really interesting evidence which seems to be suggesting that if children are inspired up to the age of seven，then being outdoors will be a habit for life. " His own children have got into the habit of playing outside now： "We just send them out into the garden and tell them not to come back in for a while. "
Summer is upon us.There is an amazing world out there，and it needs our children as much as they need it.Let us get them out and let them play.
（1）What is the problem with the author's children？
A．They often annoy the neighbours.
B．They are tired of doing their homework.
C．They have no friends to play with.
D．They stay in front of screens for too long.

C．By advertising in London media.
D．By creating a network of friends.

3．Imagine that the genome （基因組）is a book.The book consists of 23 chapters，with thousands of stories made up of paragraphs，words and letters on different levels.There are one billion words in the book，which makes it longer than 500 dictionaries.If I read the genome out to you at the rate of one word per second for eight hours a day，it would take me a century.If I wrote out the human genome，one letter per millimeter，my text would be as long as the River Danube.This enormous document，however，all fits inside the extremely small nucleus （核） of a tiny cell that fits easily upon the head of a pin （針尖）.
The idea of the genome as a book is not，strictly speaking，even a metaphor （比喻）.It is true to a great extent.A book is a piece of digital information，written in one-directional form and controlled by a system that translates a small alphabet（字母表）of letters into a large dictionary of meanings through the order of their groupings.So is a genome.The only difference is that all English books read from left to right，while some parts of the genome read from left to right，and some from right to left，though never both at the same time.
While English books are written in words of different lengths using twenty-six letters，genomes are written entirely in three-letter words，using only four letters.And instead of being written on flat pages，they are written on long chains of DNA molecules（分子）.The genome is a very clever book，because in the right conditions it can both photocopy itself and read itself.
（1）What facts do you know about the genome？
A．It has 23 chapters.
B．It is extremely long.
C．It is in the cell nucleus.
D．It is on the pin head.
（2）In what sense is the genome like a book？
A．Both have digital images.
B．Both are read from left to right.
C．Both are grouped by subject.
D．Both have a translation system.
（3）What can we know about genomes from paragraph 3？
A．They are nearly of the same length.
B．They are made up of DNA.
C．They can reproduce each other.
D．They are written on flat pages.
（4）Why did the writer make a comparison of the genome to a book？
A．To focus on the differences.
B．To emphasize the similarities.
C．To simplify the concept.
D．To give different description.組卷：2引用：3難度：0.5 -
4．Every year，the Joint Mathematics Meeting brings more than 5，000 math lovers together.It's the largest math meeting in the world.In January 2019，mathematicians flew to the meeting in Baltimore，Md.，to learn about new ideas and talk about their work.Many even came to admire the latest in mathematical art.
The meeting included an entire art exhibition.Visitors felt amazed at sculptures made from metal，wood and folded paper.One was based on a supersized Rubik's cube.Many like triangles，were arranged in strange and surprising sizes and colors.The collection also included drawings and paintings inspired by the study of numbers，curves（曲線）and patterns.
Art and math may seem like a strange pairing.People usually experience art through their senses.They see a painting or listen to music.If this art moves them，they will have an emotional response.Working at math
problems is usually viewed as something you think about -not feel.But connections between the two fields reach far back in time.Sculptors and architects in some ancient civilizations included numbers and math ideas into their works.
"A mathematician，like a painter or a poet，is a maker of patterns，" wrote British mathematician G.H.Hardy in 1940.If a mathematician's patterns are more permanent，he continued， "It is because they are made with ideas. "
Henry Segerman is a mathematician and artist.When he was in high school，in England，he was good at math and art.But he had to choose. "I went in the math direction back then，" he says.He thought it difficult to succeed as an artist.
Still，Segerman's math studies led him into the visual areas of math，such as geometry.In 2015，Segerman and some math art friends created a virtual-reality artwork.Participants can put on a pair of VR goggles to float around and through four-dimensional shapes.Art makes it possible to interact（互動(dòng)）with these shapes，which would be impossible to create in our three-dimensional world.As beautiful as it is to see，Segerman's work also offers a new view on mathematical ideas.
（1）What is special about the exhibits at the meeting？
A．They are made based on math ideas.
B．They reflect the long history of math.
C．They are art works with high technology.
D．They turn abstract art into specific math.
（2）Why does the author say "art and math may seem like a strange pairing"？
A．They're experienced in different ways.
B．They seem extremely hard to appreciate.
C．They've been separated since ancient times.
D．They fail to bring about people's responses.
（3）Henry Segerman's story suggests that.
A．one can't easily succeed in science
B．math makes art easier to understand
C．math is actually the origin of fine art
D．math learning promotes the creation of art
（4）What is the main idea of the text？
A．Real artists will stand the test of math.
B．Artists make math become a kind of art.
C．Modern artists turn into mathematicians.
D．Math and art turns out a great combination.組卷：4引用：3難度：0.5

5．You don't have to be an art expert to comment on how you feel about a piece of art. （1）
The same beauty that you appreciate in these everyday objects are things you can appreciate and discuss in art.If you are interested in broadening your artistic appreciation by visiting an art museum or gallery，here are steps to help you get a fuller experience：
（2）Often exhibits are based around a theme，time period，a single artist's work or a group of artists working within the same basic concept.By taking a few minutes to view the exhibit as a whole you can better appreciate the individual pieces.
Return to the beginning of the exhibit and spend little more time viewing each piece.First，examine each piece up close.Look for detail in the artwork.Second，step back anywhere from 4-6 feet away to get the full picture. （3）Find the pieces you feel drawn to.Never feel the need to linger on a piece that you don't like. （4）Question the subject，the materials used to create the piece，and your own reaction to it.See if you can guess the artist's intent.
Use the exhibition labels to understand the work. （5）After reading the information，ask yourself whether it supports or change the way you initially reacted to the work.
When you move on，try to give each piece in the gallery fair chance.No piece will appeal to everyone，but sometimes after closer inspection，you will find yourself appreciating works outside of your usual tastes.
A.Take some time to first scan through the entire gallery.
B.You just need to make continuous effort to acquire the taste.
C.Spend some time moving around each piece to learn more about it
D.Finally，if the piece is 3 D sculptural object，be sure to view it from different angles.
E.These labels are where you can find the title，medium，artist and other useful information.
F.Try to think of the work of art as your other interests such as a beautiful car or dress design.
G.If，however，you find that the piece appeals to you，try to understand what it is about it that attracts you so much.組卷：6引用：2難度：0.5
