For about three and a quarter centuries, under its rule, China enjoyed a period of economic growth with great artistic and intellectual achievements.One of the most important factors in the Song Renaissance was the printing press which made for a rebirth of classical Confucian learning. By the 10th century,printers were producing a large number of copies of the classical Confucian texts. With this increase in the production of books, education spread and became widely available.Printing also had its greatest influence on the Chinese political system. In the Song Dynasty, govemment examinations became the most important way to political power in China. For almost 1,000 years, China was govemed by men who had done very well in examinations. Thousands of students studied for the exams, and thousands of inexpensive books were required. Without printing, such a system would not have been possible.The Song period was also the golden age of Chinese painting. Emperor Huizong(1101-1125) was a talented painter who encouraged the arts. A royal painting academy was created and many fine artists were supported. The period is best known for nature subjects and landscape paintings. Guo Xi used perspective in his paintings and The Quict Valley is one of his best-known works. One of the greatest landscape painters of the period was Fan Kuan. His masterpiece, Travelling among Mountains and Gorges, is one of the most famous Chinese paintings. pleted around the year 1000, it was inspired by the power of nature and the relative insignificance of humans.24When was the Chinese Renaissance?A Immediately after the Renaissance in Europe. B During the Song Dynasty.C At the time of Confucius. D in the year 1,000.25What contributed to spreading the ideas of Confucius?A The spread of education to the middle classes.B Peoples new interest in classical texts.C The development of painting.D The printing press and a wide availability of books.26How did people bee politicians at the time?A Only members of the wealthy class could go into politics.B A small number of powerful families ran the country.C Only members good at painting were supported by the royalty.D There was a special exam system to select politicians.27From the passage we can know the painter of Travelling among Mountains and Gorges is A Guo XiB Emperor HuizongC Fan KuanD ConfuciusCSteven Stein likes to follow garbage trucks. His strange habit makes sense when you consider that hes an environmental scientist who studies how to reduce garbage, including things that fall off garbage trucks as they drive down the road. What is even more interesting is that one of Steins jobs is defending an industry behind the plastic shopping bag.Americans use more than 100 billion thin plastic bags every year. So many end up in tree branches or along highways that a growing number of cities do not allow them at checkouts (收银台). The bags are not allowed in some 90 cities in California, including Los Angeles. Eyeing these headwinds, plastic-bag makers are hiring (聘请)scientists like Stein to make the case that their products are not as bad for the planet as most people assume.Among the bag makers arguments: many cities with bans（禁令）still allow shoppers to purchase paper bags, which are easily recycled but require more energy to produce and transport. And while plastic bags may be ugly to look at, they represent a small percentage of all garbage on the ground today.The industry has also taken aim at the product that has appeared as its replacement: reusable shopping bags. The stronger a reusable bag is, the longer its life and the more plastic-bag use it cancels out. However, longer-lasting reusable bags often require more energy to make. One study found that a cotton bag must be used at least 131 times to be better for the planet than plastic.Environmentalists dont doubt these points. They hope paper bags will be banned someday too and want shoppers to use the same reusable bags for years.28What has Steven Stein been hired to do?A Help increase market sales. B Recycle the wastes.C Stop things falling off trucks. D Argue for the use of plastic bags.29What does the word “headwinds” in paragraph 2 refer to?A Effects of city development. B Bans on plastic bags.C Headaches caused by garbage. D Plastic bags hung in trees.30What is a disadvantage of reusable bags according to plastic-bag makers?A They are quite expensive. B Replacing them can be difficult.C They are less strong than plastic bags. D Producing them requires more energy.31Whats the environmentalists attitude toward the use of paper bags?A Supportive B UninterestedC Negative D ObjectiveDIt was a cold winter day. A woman drove up to the Rainbow Bridge tollbooth(收费站). “Im paying for myself, and for the six cars behind me,” she said with a smile, handing over seven tickets. One after another, the next six drivers arriving at the tollbooth were informed, “Some lady up ahead already paid your fare.”It turned out that the woman, Natalie Smith, had read something on a friends refrigerator: “Practice random(随意的) kindness and senseless acts of beauty.” The phrase impressed her so much that she copied it down.Judy Foreman spotted the same phrase on a warehouse(仓库) wall far away from home. When it stayed on her mind for days, she gave up and drove all the way back to copy it down. “I thought it was beautiful,” she said, explaining why shed taken to writing it at the bottom of all her letters, “like a message from above.” Her husband, Frank, liked the phrase so much that he put it up on the classroom wall for his students, one of whom was the daughter of Alice Johnson, a local news reporter. Alice put it in the newspaper, admitting that though she liked it, she didnt know where it came from or what it really meant.Two days later, Alice got a call from Anne Herbert, a woman living in Marin. It was in a restaurant that Anne wrote the phrase down on a piece of paper, after turning it around in her mind for days.“Heres the idea,” Anne says. “Anything you think there should be more of, do it randomly.” Her fantasies(想象) include painting the classrooms of shabby schools, leaving hot meals on kitchen tables in the poor part of town, and giving money secretly to a proud old lady. Anne says, “Kindness can build on itself as much as violence can.”The acts of random kindness spread. If you were one of those drivers who found your fare paid, who knows what you might have been inspired to do for someone else later. Like all great events, kindness begins slowly, with every single act. Let it be yours!32Why did Natalie Smith pay for the six cars behind her?A She knew the car drivers well.B She wanted to show kindness.C She hoped to please others.D She had seven tickets.33Judy Foreman copied down the phrase because she.A thought it was beautifully writtenB wanted to know what it really meantC decided to write it on a warehouse wallD wanted her husband to put it up in the classroom34Which of the following statements is closest in meaning to the underlined sentence above?A Kindness and violence can change the world.B Kindness and violence can affect ones behavior.C Kindness and violence can shape ones character.D Kindness and violence can reproduce themselves.35What can we infer from the last paragraph?A People should practice random kindness to those in need.B People who receive kindness are likely to offer it to others.C People should practice random kindness to strangers they meet.D People who receive kindness are likely to pay it back to the giver.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。（注意：如果所用的答题卡没有E、F、G选项，则选E涂A和B，选F涂A和C，选G涂A和D。）Five Ideas for Better SleepMost people need about eight hours of sleep each night.
