Lita Cabellut is one of Spains most successful artists. Her paintings now sell for more than $100，000， but she spent her early years living on the streets.

Cabellut was born in 1961. While she was a baby， she was left with her grandmother by her parents. In fact， she spent most of her time out with other homeless children on the streets.

She didnt go to school and it never crossed her mind that one day she would become an artist. So what changed Cabelluts life so greatly？

Cabelluts grandmother died when she was about 10 years old. And she lived in an orphanage （孤兒院） before being adopted by a family at the age of 12. They took her to museums and introduced her to art. One painting by Goya， a famous Spanish painter， made a deep impression on her. She even tried to copy one of Goyas other paintings. The result was not very good， but her adopted family encouraged her to keep painting.

And for the first time in her life， she also started going to school. She says， “Its hard to start learning to read and write when you are 13. I had a lot of private classes at home because I had to learn everything.” She slowly made progress at school and started to listen to the radio program “Voice of Art”. After graduating from university， she kept painting.

Today， Cabellut is best known for her portraits， which include not only paintings of famous people such as Charlie Chaplin， but also some ordinary people who might consider ugly.

“I dont see ugly people，” says Cabellut. “I paint different people. I paint people in whom you need to find the real beauty behind the skin.”

She always says， “People are not buying just paintings—its the magic and emotion that is the spirit of art.”

24. What can we learn about Cabellut from the text？

A. She isnt a successful artist. B. She is more than fifty years old now.

C. She dreamed of being an artist as a little girl. D. She was sent to an orphanage after her birth.

25. What can we learn about Cabellut when she was about 10 years old？

A. Her talent for painting was first found. B. She went to school for the first time.

C. Her grandmother passed away. D. She was adopted by a family.

26. What is Cabellut most famous for？

A. Her portraits. B. Her radio program.

C. Her talent for learning. D. Her magic and emotion of drawing.

27. What do Cabelluts paintings mainly focus on？

A. People who are usually considered ugly. B. The real beauty behind every person.

C. The appearances of different people. D. Famous people in different times.

Nowadays more and more people are too busy with work to relax themselves. We have no time to tell a bedtime story to our children， or enjoy a nice dinner with our family， or take a break to think about how we live the valuable life， or even meet friends. All we notice is that the distinctions that used to guide and steady us—between Sunday and Monday， public and private， here and there—are gone. We have more ways to communicate， but less and less to say， partly because were so busy communicating.

Maybe thats why more and more people I know， even if they have no religious belief， seem to be turning to yoga， or meditation （冥想）， or tai chi. Some friends of mine try to go on long walks every Sunday， or to “forget” their cellphones at home. A series of tests in recent years has shown that their brains become both calmer and sharper after spending time in quiet rural settings.

In my own case， I often turn to extreme measures to try to keep my sanity （清醒） and ensure that I have time to do nothing at all. Ive not yet used a cellphone and Ive never tweeted Facebook. I tried not to go online till my days writing was finished， and I moved from Manhattan to rural Japan.

None of this is a matter of principle or asceticism （苦行主義）：Its just pure selfishness. Nothing makes me feel better—calmer， clearer and happier—than being in one place， absorbed in a book， a conversation， or a piece of music. Its actually something deeper than mere happiness： Its joy， which the monk David Steindl-Rast describes as “that kind of happiness that doesnt depend on what happens”. That is the highest of the highest we have been longing for—the joy of quiet.

28. The underlined part in Paragraph 2 suggests that the friends ____ .

A. think the cellphone isnt a suitable means of communication

B. leave their cellphones at home on purpose

C. hate modern techniques

D. are really forgetful

29. Why does the author sometimes do nothing at all？

A. He is out of work. B. He is worried about his writing.

C. He finds his work so dull. D. He can enjoy himself in his leisure time.

30. What is the author most probably？

A. A writer. B. A doctor. C. A businessman. D. A scientist.

31. What does the text mainly want to tell us？

A. The more we communicate， the better we will feel. B. We can do some sports such as yoga to relax.

C. To feel better， we should do nothing at all. D. Enjoying quiet time is very important.

D

The ruins of a Maya city have been discovered in Guatemala with the help of the remote sensing technique LiDAR. This lost city envelops sites like Tikal， Holmul， and Witzna， but shows that these famous areas are a small part of this lost urban network.

Hidden under the jungles of the Maya Biosphere Reserve site， more than 60，000 human-made features—homes， canals， highways， and more—have been identified in aerial （從飞机上的） images collected by some international researchers headed by the PAGUNAM Foundation， a Maya cultural and natural heritage organization. Those have experts rethinking the outlines and complexity of the Maya Empire.

These ancient peoples obviously created these imaginative cultures based on their known relics， but the new research has suggested that the size of this lost society is far beyond what experts imagined. The findings will be explored in a one-hour documentary called Lost Treasures of the Maya Snake Kings， to be broadcast on the National Geographic Channel.

This breakthrough was possible thanks to LiDAR sensors， which can survey lands in 3D by bouncing （反射） pulses off the ground from unmanned air vehicles and others. LiDAR is exceptionally useful for detecting archeological （考古的） sites， as it gets through jungles and other features that hold up exploration on the ground. The technique has made many discoveries become a reality in recent years. For instance， major finds at Angkor， Cambodia and Caracol， Belize can explain what it did. The final goal is to survey Guatemalas lowlands with it.

“There are entire cities we didnt know about now showing up in the survey data，” Francisco Estrada-Belli， one of the lead archeologists on the project， said in Nat Geos coming documentary. “There are 20，000 square kilometers more to be explored and there are going to be hundreds of cities about the mysterious people who built this urban network there that we dont know about， and we will push back the frontiers with the technology，” he added.

32. What does the underlined word “Those” in Paragraph 2 refer to？

A. Jungles. B. Researchers. C. Aerial images. D. Human-made features.

33. What does the author want to convey in Paragraph 4？

A. The working principle of LiDAR sensors. B. Great importance of Guatemalans lowlands.

C. The process of researching Maya civilization. D. LiDARs contribution to discovering the relics.

34. Which words can best describe the lost Maya city？

A. Small and hidden. B. Vast and complex.

C. Famous and high-tech. D. Fully-explored and imaginative.

35. What will the archeologists do next？

A. Continue to explore the unknown. B. Study the documentary carefully.

C. Upgrade the LiDAR technology. D. Build a massive urban network.

Doctors say anger can be an extremely damaging emotion， unless you learn how to deal with it. They warn that anger can lead to heart disease， stomach problems， headaches， emotional problems and possibly cancer.

36        Some people express anger openly in a calm reasonable way. Others burst with anger， and scream and yell. But other people keep their anger inside. They can not or will not express it. This is called repressing （抑制） anger.

For years many doctors thought that repressing anger was more dangerous to a persons health than expressing it. They said that when a person is angry， the brain releases （释放） the same hormones （荷尔蒙）. They speed the heart rate， raise blood pressure， or sugar into the blood， etc.        37

Some doctors say that both repressing and expressing anger can be dangerous. They believe that those who express anger violently may be more likely to develop heart disease， and they believe that those who keep anger inside may face a greater danger of high blood pressure.

38        They say the first step is to admit that you are angry and to recognize the real cause of the anger. Then decide if the cause is serious enough to get angry about. If it is， they say， “       39        Wait until your anger has cooled down and you are able to express yourself calmly and reasonably.”

Doctors say that a good way to deal with anger is to find humor in the situation that has made you angry.        40

A. Anger may cause cancer.

B. Do not express your anger while angry.

C. In general the person feels excited and ready to act.

D. They say that laughter is much healthier than anger.

E. Doctors say the solution is learning how to deal with anger.

F. Anger is a normal emotion that we all feel from time to time.

G. Expressing anger violently is more harmful than repressing it.

36.                            37.                            38.                            39.                            40.

I guided him to a seat， handed his food，    56    his soda， and brought him lots of ketchup. Again， all other tables around him vacated （空出） their seats and looked at me    57   .

What on earth does happiness mean？ I cant give you  （it） exact definition， but Im sure if you love and help others， youll get it.

Ill never forget an old lady. She lives in a small house alone. Its said that her husband and her son died in a road accident years ago. Her life is bitter， but she often helps others  a smile. Whenever it snows， she is always the first  （clean） the paths. She looks after several children living nearby. I am one of them. I often remember the stories she told us and her kind smile. Perhaps she is unlucky，  I think she is a happy person. Her life is full of    65    （laugh） and love.

But Im sad to see some people getting their happiness in bad ways. They talk    66    （noisy） in cinemas and meeting rooms; they destroy trees to enjoy themselves and they laugh at others shortcomings. Perhaps they feel happy at that time， but they will never get true happiness because they    67    （lose） their personality already.
