age of five, stephen was sent to queensmill school, london, where it soon became apparent that he communicated through the language of drawing.his teachers encouraged him to speak by taking away his art materials for a short time; eventually he said his first words “paper” and “pencil” but didnt learn to speak fully until the age of nine.stephen loved drawing and he was seldom to be found without pen and paper.once he took part in art competitions, news of his great talent began to spread.early fans included the late prime minister edward heath who bought his drawing of salisbury cathedral, made when stephen was just eight.but stephen came to wider public attention when the bbc featured him in the programme, “the foolish wise ones” in 1987, when he was introduced by sir hugh casson (a past president of the royal academy), as “the best child artist in britain.”after that, stephens reputation grew worldwide.a second bbc documentary in 2001 showed stephen flying over london in a helicopter and later completing a detailed drawing of london within three hours, which included 12 historic landmarks (地标性建筑) and 200 other structures.in 2006 stephen was recognised for his services

willow and sevenyearold luca, would not stop fighting.the arguments over a fork, or who had more water in a glass never stopped.then my sister reached into her handbag, produced two shiny ipads (苹果平板电脑), and handed one to each child.suddenly, the two were quiet.they sat playing games and watching videos, and we continued with our conversation.after our meal, as my sister stuffed the ipads back into her bag, she said, “i dont want to give them the ipads at the dinner table, but if they keep them occupied for an hour so we can eat in peace, i often just hand them over.im afraid its bad for them.i do worry that it makes them think its ok to use electronics at the dinner table in the future.”dr.gary small, director of the longevity center at the university of california, los angeles says that the brain is highly sensitive to stimuli (刺激物), like ipads and smartphone screens, and if people spend too much time on one technology, and less time interacting (互动) with people like parents at the dinner table, that could prevent the development of certain communication skills.“conversations with each other are the way children learn to have conversations with themselves, and learn how to be alone，” said sherry turkle, a professor of science, technology and society at the massachusetts institute of technology.she fears that children who do not learn real interactions, which often have imperfections, will come to know a world where perfect, shiny screens give them a false sense of intimacy (亲密) without risk.however, they need to be able to gather themselves and know who they are.so someday they can form a relationship with another person without a panic of being alone. “if you dont teach your children to be alone, theyll only know how to be lonely，” she said.9what did willow and luca fight about?aipads. blittle things.cdelicious food. dinteresting things.解析：选b细节理解题。根据第一段中的“the arguments over a fork, or who had more water in a glass never stopped.”可以看出，willow和luca为一些小事争吵。10how did the authors sister feel about offering children ipads?ashe was critical of it.bshe felt it was worth a try.cshe was uncertain about it.dshe felt surprised at its effect.解析：选c推理判断题。根据第三段内容可知，虽然作者的姐姐会用ipad让孩子们安静下来，但是她又担心这样做不好，因此说她对这种做法心存疑虑。11according to dr. gary small, what should parents do?aprovide their children with various technologies.bteach their children communication skills.ctalk to their children at the dinner table.dlimit their childrens screen time.解析：选d推理判断题。根据倒数第二段中的“if people spend too much time on one technology . prevent the development of certain communication skills”可知，长时间使用电子设备有碍于孩子们一些沟通技能的发展，因此家长应该限制孩子使用这些设备的时间。12what is sherry turkle worried?achildren are afraid of taking risks.bchildren try to escape from the real world.cchildren cant live without electronic devices.dchildren cant deal with companionless situations.解析：选d推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“she fears that children . will come to know a world where perfect, shiny screens give them a false sense of intimacy (亲密) without risk.”可知，sherry turkle担心孩子们习惯了电子设备的陪伴，认为真正的人际交往也是如此，随时随地有人陪伴，因此他们会受不了孤单。dmore than 2,500 tiny glass jars each containing brightly colored powders line the walls of a museum at harvard university in cambridge, massachusetts.the pigment (颜料) samples make up the forbes pigment collection.art experts rely on the collection for an important scientific purpose the colors act as standards to help them conserve and authenticate artists paintings.about a century ago, edward forbes, an art historian and art museum director at harvard, noticed that the paint on some 14thcentury paintings in his museums collection was deteriorating.to figure out how to save the paintings, he realized he would have to learn more about the materials used to make their paint.today, people can buy paint in every color of the rainbow.but variety in paint colors and the ability to purchase those paints at a store wasnt always possible.for centuries, artists collected and crushed (碾碎) everything from shells to rare stones to create the pigments that colored their artworks.they also used metal oxides (氧化物)from 1910 to 1944, forbes traveled the globe collecting powdered pigments.the samples helped art conservators understand how paint behaves on a chemical level.paint might react to changes in light, temperature, or humidity, depending on its pigments compositions.this can affect the colors of a painting over time or even cause paint to come off the painted surface.today, narayan khandekar, a senior conservation scientist at the harvard art museums, is building on forbess work by adding newer, chemically made pigments to the collection.the collection also plays an important role in helping to stop counterfeiters (伪造者)in 2007, experts compared pigments from the collection with those from a painting thought to belong to abstract artist jackson pollock.chemical analysis showed that a red pigment in the painting was actually made 20 years after the artists death, proving that the artwork was a fake.13which of the following can replace the underlined word “deteriorating” in paragraph 2?adropping off. bbreaking down.ccleared away. dgathered together.解析：选b词义猜测题。根据画线词后的句子“to figure out how to save the paintings”可推知，一些14世纪的绘画被损坏了，故此处的deteriorating可以用breaking down(损坏)代替。14what can be inferred about edward forbes?ahe was good at chemistry.bhe collected many pigments.che created pigments by himself.dhe repaired a lot of old paintings.解析：选b推理判断题。根据第四段中的“forbes traveled the globe collecting powdered pigments”以及博物馆藏品的命名“forbes pigment collection”可推知forbes从全球各地收集了许多颜料。15what may be the best title for the text?acolorful collectionblooking for pigmentscevery pigment has its own storydedward forbes and his collection解析：选a标题归纳题。文章介绍了哈佛大学色素博物馆的来历及其作用。“colorful collection”形象准确地概括了全文的主要内容，故a项为文章最佳标题。.阅读七选五some people choose to live in a flat sharing with others.others cant imagine leaving their perfect
