elegant and unusual look.any person can draw pencil art.it is an untruth that only an artist can draw.creativity is more than enough to draw a work of art.very different effects can be created in pencil art.drawing pencils are available with different types of leads, such as 4h, 2h, h, hb, b, 2b, 4b etc.the 4h pencil is the lightest lead pencil and produces light and thin lines, while 4b is the darkest lead pencil and produces dark and thick lines.very unique effects can be created with these pencils.strokes are one of the most important factors in pencil art.the pressure that is applied on the lines or curves or arc or circle or triangle or freehand drawing will decide the strength of stroke.it will add to the liveliness and to the depth of the art.apart from stroke, blending and shading (描影) is one more factor in pencil art.a number of methods can be used to make changes of shape and color (within black and white) very easily.even human fingers can be used.the popular method is using tissue paper for soft blend and salt paper for hard to make texture (质地) blend. take a flower as an example.the 2b pencil is used to draw the outline of the flower while the hb pencil is used to draw simple line strokes inside the flower.the centre circle can be improved by the use of the 2b, hb and h pencils with pale finger blend.26which of the following statement is not one of the authors opinions?apencil art has strict regulations although it is simple.bevery person can draw pencil art.calmost any person has the ability to create art.ddrawing with different pencils can create unique effects.27the difference between the 4h and 4b pencils mainly lies in their _.alength bheight ccolor dlead28the strength of stroke in pencil art is decided by _.athe type of drawing pencils bthe pressure applied on the drawingcthe quality of paper dthe kind of drawing29the example in the last paragraph is used to tell us _.athe 2b pencil is used to draw the outline of the flowerbthe hb pencil is used to draw simple line strokes inside the flowercthe 2b, hb and h pencils are used to draw the centre circle of the flowerdhow to use different types of drawing pencils to draw pencil art30we can learn from the passage that _.ahuman fingers can not be used as pencilsbthe kind of paper has no effect on blendingccreativity is very important in drawing an artdonly the 2b pencil can be used to draw the outlinebbotany, the study of plants, occupies a special position in the history of human knowledge.for many thousands of years it was the one field of awareness about which humans had anything more than the vaguest (含糊不清的) of insight.it is impossible to know today just what our stone age ancestors knew about plants, but from what we can observe of preindustrial societies that still exist, a detailed learning of plants and their properties must be extremely ancient.this_is_logical.plants are the basis of the food pyramid for all living things, even for other plants.they have always been enormously important to the welfare of people, not only for food, but also for clothing, weapons, tools, eyes, medicines, shelter, and a great many other purposes.tribes living today in the jungles of the amazon recognize accurately hundreds of plants and know many properties of each.to them, botany, as such, has no name and is probably not even recognized as a special branch of knowledge at all.unfortunately, the more industrialized we become the farther away we move from direct contact with plants, and the less distinct our knowledge of botany grows.yet everyone comes unconsciously on an amazing amount of botanical knowledge, and few people will fail to recognize a rose, an apple, or an orchid.when our neolithic ancestors, living in the middle east about 10,000 years ago, discovered that certain grasses could be harvested and their seeds planted for richer productions the next season, the first great step in a new association of plants and humans was taken.grains were discovered and from them flowed the wonder of agriculture: cultivated crops.from then on, humans would increasingly take their living from the controlled production of a few plants, rather than getting a little here and a little there from many varieties that grew wild and the knowledge of tens of thousands of years of experience and close relationship with plants in the wild would begin fade away.31which of the following statements about early humans is expressed in the passage?athey probably had extensive knowledge of plants.bthey thought there was no need to cultivate crops.cthey did not enjoy the study of botany.dthey placed great importance on the ownership of property.32what does the comment “this is logical.” in the first paragraph mean?athere is no clear way to determine the extent of our ancestors knowledge of plants.bit is not surprising that early humans had a detailed knowledge of plants.cit is reasonable to assume that our ancestors behaved very much like people in preindustrial societies.dhuman knowledge of plants is well organized and very detailed.33according to the passage, why has general knowledge of botany begun to fade?apeople no longer value plants as a useful resource.bbotany is not recognized as a special branch of science.cresearch is unable to keep up with the increasing numbers of plants.ddirect contact with a variety of plants has decreased.34in the second paragraph, what is the authors purpose in mentioning “a rose, an apple, or an orchid”？ato make the passage more poetic.bto give an example of plants that are attractive.cto give botanical examples that all readers will recognize.dto explain the variety of botanical life.35according to the passage, what was the first great step toward the practice of agriculture?athe invention of agricultural tools and machinery.bthe development of a system of names for plants.cthe discovery of grasses that could be harvested and replanted.dthe changing diets of early humans.cnot all think laughter is the best medicine, but it seems to help.so scientists carried on a new study of diabetes (糖尿病) patients who were given a good dose of humor for a year to prove it.researchers divide 20 highrisk diabetic patients into two groups.both groups were given standard diabetes medicine.group l viewed 30 minutes of humor of their choice, while group c, the control group, did not.this went on for a year of treatments.by two months into the study, the patients in the laughter group had lower level of the hormones epinephrine (肾上腺素), considered to cause stress, which is known to be deadly.after the 12 months, hdl_cholesterol rises 26 percent in group l but only 3 percent in group cin another measure, creactive proteins, a maker of heart disease, drop 66 percent in the laughter group but only 26 percent in the control group.“the best doctors believe that there is a physical good brought about by the positive emotion, happy laughter，” said study leader lee berk of loma linda university.and other research has found that humor makes us more hopeful.still, more study is needed, berk said.the research by berk found that humor can bring about similar changes in body chemistry, which was proved in the new study.the research result will be presented this month at the meeting in the us.research at the university of maryland school of medicine shows that laughter causes the inner lining of blood vessels to expand, increasing blood flow in a way thought to be healthy.“lifestyle choices have an important effect on health and these are choices which we and patients should pay attention to, rather than prevention and treatment，” berk said in a statement this week.36why did the scientists carry on the new research?a.to find out if laughter was good to health.b.to discover the best medicine to cure diabetes.c.because the number of diabetic patients is the largest in the world.d.because diabetic patients need more laughter than other patients.37after 12 months into the study, _.a.creactive proteins increase 66 percent in group cb.the level of the hormones epinephrine stays the same in both groupsc.the level of the hormones epinephrine has droppedd.creactive proteins reduced 66 percent in group l38the underlined part “hdl cholesterol” in paragraph 3 must be _.a.something bad to our health bsomething good to our healthc.a kind of wonderful medicineda kind of dangerous disease39in what way does laughter benefit peoples health?ablood is made thick by laughter.blaughter makes blood vessels thin.claughter increases blood pressure.dlaughter makes blood flow fast.40according to berk, we should _.achoose lifestyles carefully bchange our lifestylescprevent our lifestyles in advance dpay less attention to the positive emotiondall the housewives who went to the new supermarket had one great ambition: to be the lucky customer who did not have to pay for her shopping.for this was what the notice just inside the entrance promised.it said, “remember, once a week, one of our customers gets free goods.this may be your lucky day！”for several weeks mrs.edwards hoped, like many of her friends, to be the lucky customer.unlike her friends, she never gave up hoping.the cupboards in kitchen were full of things which she did not need.her husband tried to advise her against buying things but failed.she dreamed of the day when the manager of the supermarket would approach her and say, “madam, this is your lucky day.everything in your basket is free.”one friday morning, after she had finished her shopping and had taken it to her car, she found that she had forgotten to buy any tea.she dashed back to the supermarket, got the tea and went towards the cashdesk.as she did so, she saw the manager of the supermarket approach her.“madam，” he said, holding out his hand, “i want to congratulate you! you are our lucky customer and everything you have in your basket is free！”41the housewives learnt about
