But he did not know about brushes before a visitor told him he needed one. In those days, a brush was made from camels hair. There were no camels nearby. Benjamin decided that cat hair would work instead. He cut some fur from the family cat to make a brush.The brush did not last long. Soon Benjamin needed more fur. Before long, the cat began to look ragged(蓬乱).His father said that the cat must be sick. Benjamin was forced to admit what he had been doing.The cats lot was about to improve. That year, one of Benjamins cousins,Mr. Pennington, came to visit. He was impressed with Benjamins drawings. When he went home, he sent Benjamin a box of paint and some brushes. He also sent six engravings (版画)by an artist. These were the first pictures and first real paint and brushes Benjamin had ever seen.In 1747,when Benjamin was nine years old, Mr. Pennington returned for another visit. He was amazed at what Benjamin had done with his gift. He asked Benjamins parents if he might take the boy back to Philadelphia for a visit.In the city, Mr. Pennington gave Benjamin materials for creating oil paintings.The boy began a landscape (风景) painting. William Williams, a well-known painter, came to see him work .Williams was impressed with Benjamin and gave him two classic books on painting to take home. The books were long and dull. Benjamin could read only a little, having been a poor student. But he later said,“Those two books were my companions by day, and under my pillow at night.”While it is likely that he understood very little of the books, they were his introduction to classical paintings.

Some argue that because there are routine updates to Latin published by the Roman Catholic Church, it is still alive and developing.However, Latin is no longer used on a daily basis by the vast majority of people outside of specific religious settings. It is no longer anyones native language. While its use is still taught, Latin is no longer considered to be a developing language to the degree of most modern languages.There are many reasons for Latins dying out. Perhaps the most significant one has to do with the decline of the Roman Empire. During the Roman period, language was standardized to a greater degree. Just as learning English is vital to those living in the United States today, to really succeed during the Roman times, one needed to learn Latin. As a result, the language spread rapidly. However, that rapid expansion would eventually begin to plateau and then decline.Latin continued to be used throughout Europe during the medieval(中世纪的)period. However, with nothing to unite the continent, there was no need for a uniform language. So slowly, over a period of hundreds of years, Latin began to change as different areas developed their own dialects(方言),known as the Romance languages today, among which the most commonly spoken and recognizable are Spanish, Portuguese, Italian and French.Though not directly related to the Romance languages, Latin still has had an effect on many other languages. For example, nearly two-thirds of English words can find their roots in Latin.28. Which of the following arguments suggests that Latin is a dead language?A. There are hardly any updates to Latin outside the religious background.B. The number of native Latin speakers does not reach the agreed standard.C. Latin is no longer directly used but is combined with other languages.D. Latin is not taught as a major subject any more in European countries.29.What does the underlined word “plateau” in Paragraph 3 probably mean?A. Occur frequently.B. Drop greatly.C. Reach a stable level.D. Show a growing tendency.30.Which of the following contributed most to Latins dying out?A. The United Kingdom was rising.B. The Roman Empire lost its power.C.A uniform language was badly needed.D. The Romance languages began to form.第二节：七选五阅读（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）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。Body Language Tips for Lifting Your ConfidencePractisesmiling.Smiling not only makes you more attractive, it alsoimprovesyourhealth.

Almost a month ago, he bought a popular word game that used little pieces of wood with different letters on them. As he was purchasing it, the salesgirl said, “Oh, look, the game box hasnt even been opened yet. That might be worth some money”. Peter examined the box and sure enough, it was completely covered in factory sealed(密封的) plastic. And he saw a date of 1973 on the back of the box. “You should put that up for auction(拍) on the internet, and see what happens.” the salesgirl said .Yes, youre right. People like something rare”, Peter agreed. I cant imagine there being very many unopened boxes of this game still around 40 years later”. “Dont forget to tell me if you sell it”, the salesgirl smiled. “No problem,” Peter said.After he got home, Peter went online to several auction websites looking for his game. But he couldnt find it. Then he typed in the name of the word game and hit search. The search result was 543 websites containing information about the changes of the game. Over the years, the game had been produced using letters in different sizes and game boards in different colors. He also found some lists of game fans looking for various versions of the game. Peter emailed some of them telling them what he had. Two weeks later Peter went back to the shop.Hello. Do you still remember the unopened word game?”The salesgirl looked at
