The first two weeks were the most difficult days of my entire life. Every night I would cry myself to sleep. I was so homesick and I didnt know how to deal with my broken heart. To distract myself, I threw myself into my studies and I applied for a ton of jobs. In any remaining free time, I started forcing myself to the gym. I wanted to keep every part of my day busy so I wouldnt think how lonely I felt.Soon after, I began to limit food，and then I became worse. Finally, I went to see a doctor. When the doctor weighed me, I was crazy about the number of my weight. So I continued to lower my goal, and convinced that controlling this number was the solution for my homesickness. But when I was told that I had no choice but to spend time on my studies. I quickly started recovery in my mind.How could I do? I told myself that school was what I was best at.

In fact, its English name is based on one big mistake. We could say it is a case of mistaken identity. The word Turkey has meant the land of the Turks since ancient times. In the mid-1500s, the word turkey was first used to refer to the bird in the English language.The misunderstanding over the word happened because of two similar-looking kinds of birds.There is an African bird called the guinea fowl(珍珠鸡). It has dark feathers with white spots and a patch of brown on the back of its neck. Traders brought the guinea fowl to Europe through North Africa. This foreign bird came to Europe through Turkish lands. So, the English thought the bird as a Turkish chicken.When Europeans came to North America, they saw a bird that looked like the guinea fowl. This bird was native to the North American continent. But they thought that it was the guinea fowl，which. at that time, was called the “turkey cock，so they gave it the same name.Hundreds of years later, we continue to call this North American bird turkey, even though it has no connection at all with the country Turkey, or even with Europe.But English is not the only language with interesting names for this North American bird.The Turkish call turkey “hindi”, the Turkish name for India. The reference(涉及)to India probably conies from the old. wrong idea that the New World was in Eastern Asia.The French call it dinde, a name that also connects the bird to India. Dinde means from India in the French language. Turkey has similar names in several other languages.28. What can we know from paragraph 1?A. The word turkey appeared in modern times.B.Turkeys English name is based on correct identity.C. Americans like eating turkey in Thanksgiving holiday.D. Both Turkey and turkey have similar meanings in English.29. Where did the guinea fowl come from?A. Europe. B. Africa. C. America. D. Asia.30. What does it in the last paragraph refer to?A. Eastern Asia. B. The French language. C. The New World. D. The bird turkey.31. What can be the best title for the text?A. How did Thanksgiving turkey get its name?B. How did Americans spend their Thanksgiving holiday?C. Why was the guinea fowl so popular with Americans?D. Why was the guinea fowl different from American turkeys?DEvery year in May, art galleries and museums prepare shows to honor Leonardo Da Vinci, who died in France on May 2, 1519. He is remembered as one of the greatest artists and creative thinkers of all time. His most famous paintings are The Mona Lisa and The Last Supper.Recently, researchers have been studying a painting-Landscape 8P which, they think, is Da Vincis earliest-known artwork. They used special lighting to study the artwork and discovered there were two images(图像)，not one. One drawing is on the back of the piece, which dates back to August 5，1473.The drawing on the front was painted when Leonardo was 21 years old. It shows a river valley and a castle outside the city of Florence. There is little left of the drawing on the back, perhaps because it was wiped off. Only a bridge over a river can be seen. But there is writing on both sides.The writing on the front gives the date and goes from right to left. Some people would call this mirror-writing. Its a way Leonardo often wrote in his notebooks. The writing on the back goes from left to right and tells about an agreement, probably to produce a work of art.Cecilia Frosinini is an art historian. She said, Leonardo was born left-handed, but was taught to write with his right hand from a very young age. By looking at his writings, including from this drawing, we can see his right-handed handwriting is educated and well done. ”Experts compared the two handwriting samples(样本)and said they were both made by Leonardo. They show he could write well using his left hand or his right hand.The drawing is known as Landscape 8P from its number in an art list. It will be part of an exhibit at Italys Uffizi Gallery. The gallery director, Eike Schmidt, said by studying the drawing researchers gave us a new way of looking at Leonardos drawing technique and his abilities in writing.32. Which of the following mentioned in the text has been studied by researchers recently?A. The Mona Lisa. B. Landscape 8P. C. Mirror-writing. D. The Last Supper.33. What does the writing on the back probably tell about?A. A statement about the painting.C. An agreement to produce a painting.B. An introduction about Leonardo.D. Something about the city of Florence.34. What can we learn about Leonardo from Cecilias words?A. He could write with either of his hands.B. He did bad in right-handed handwriting.C. He wasnt good at writing with his left hand.D. He taught himself to write with right hand.35. Whats Eike Schmidts attitude towards the research?A. Unclear. B. Indifferent. C. Doubtful. D. Positive.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。Tips for Developing Your Artistic TalentEveryone has an artistic talent. You might not even know it. 36 .
