You can find it on buildings, sidewalks, street signs and trash cans from Tokyo to Paris, from Moscow to Cape Town. Street art has become a global culture and even art museum and galleries are collecting the works of street artists. Street art started out very secretly because it was illegal to paint on public and private property without permission. People often have different opinions about street art. Some think it is a crime and others think it is a very beautiful new form of culture. Art experts claim that the street art movement began in New York in the 1960s. Young adults painted words and other images on walls and trains. This colorful style of writing became known as graffiti(涂鸦). Graffiti art showed that young people wanted to rebel against society. They traveled around cities to create paintings that everyone could see. In many cases, they had trouble with the police and the local government. Street artists do their work for different reasons. Some of them do not like artists who make so much money in galleries and museums. They choose street art because it is closer to the people. Some artists try to express their political opinion in their work. They often want to protest(抗议)against big firms and corporations. Others like to do things that are forbidden and hope they dont get caught. Advertising companies also use street art in their ads because it gives people the impression of youth and energy. Today, the Internet has a big influence on the street art. Artists can show their picture to an audience all over the world. Many city residents, however, say that seeing a picture on the Internet is never as good as seeing it alive. The street art movement lives with the energy and life a big city. There, it will continue to change and grow.21.What is the main idea of the first paragraph?A. Street art has a long history B. Street art is a new form of cultureC.

You happened to be in the village. You hid while they looked for you. Will you tell us how you felt when they were looking for you?” Napoleon looked very angry. He called in two of his soldiers. Then he pointed to the door. The soldiers took the innkeeper and his wife out into the yard.At the end of the yard was a wall. The innkeeper and his wife were led to the wall. The soldiers tied the hands of the innkeeper and his wife. Napoleon watched, saying nothing.“Please, sir.” Begged the innkeeper, “Dont kill us! We meant nothing!” The soldiers moved back.

It is a network of offices, some of which provide food and houses for the homeless population, and some of which fight for the passing of laws that would give every American the right to a place to call home. According to the Coalitions studies, of over two hundred million people living in the United States, up to three million are homelessand the number is still growing. Since the late 1970s, fast-rising house prices, large cuts in government supported housing programs, and economic recession(经济衰退) have make it impossible for many Americans to meet housing costs. Sadly, this has resulted in a number of persons being forced to leave their homes and/or unable to find new affordable homes. According to another research, families with children appear to be the fastest-growing part of the homeless population, making up 39% of it. The old idea of a homeless person, that of the single man who gets drunk all the time, is no longer true. A much larger part of the population now finds itself homeless. Even worse, once a person becomes homeless, he often finds it impossible to find a job, since most employers require anyone who wants a job from them to provide a home address on a job application.32.The word “ address” in the first line probably means “ _”A. talk about B. write to C. fight for D. deal with33. How many people are homeless in the U.S according to the Coalition studies?A. About 3 million people B. 200 million peopleC. 39% of the population D. About one-fifth of the population34. Homeless people often have difficulty finding a job because_A. they often dont have enough work experienceB. they mostly have a drinking problemC. they arent supported by government programsD. they have no home address35. Whats the main cause of the rising number of the homeless in the U.S.?A. The passing of new housing lawsB. The ever-rising price of housingC. The slow construction of housesD. The fast growth of family size第二节（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.Simple ways to get happyWe are not suggesting that you can reach a permanent state called “happiness” and remain there. But there are many ways to turn the path of anxiety, anger, and sadness into a state of happiness. Here are four ideas to get you started. 36 . 1. Laugh out loud. Just expecting a happy, funny event can raise levels of pleasure-causing hormones (荷尔蒙) and lower production of stress hormones. Researchers at the University of California tested 16 men who all agreed they thought a certain videotape was funny. Half were told three days in advance they would watch it. 37 When they actually watched the video, their levels of stress hormones dropped greatly, while their levels of pleasure-causing hormones rose 27 percent. 2. Do one thing at a time. Edward Suarez, professor of medical psychology at Duck, found that people who do several things at the same time are more likely to have high blood pressure. 38 Instead of talking on the phone while cleaning the kitchen, sit down in a comfortable chair and turn your entire attention over to the conversation. 3. 39 Although relationships help take away stress sometimes you need time to recharge and reflect on your own. Take yourself out to lunch or to a movie, or simply spend an afternoon reading at home, or looking through books in a bookstore. 4. Practice mindfulness 40Instead of worrying about your check-up tomorrow while having dinner with your family, focus on the here and now-food, the company, and the conversation.A. Take care of the soul.B. Choose the ones that work for you.C. Focus on the present. D. Take that finding seriously.E. Find a quiet place near your house and make it your secret place to escape.F. They started experiencing biological changes right away.G. Spend time alone.III.完形填空：（共20小题；每小题1.5分，满分30分）August 23 is a blue day for me.
