It was my second year of university and I was a confused 19-year-old at the time, unsure of what academic path I wanted to pursue. I knew that I had always been fas

18、cinated by things that made me question the world around me, and my art history class was the first time I really got to get my feet wet.My professor, a post-graduate with natty (齐整的) hair, entertained us with her stories of travel and revealed the arts of the world to us, something that had not bee

19、n touched on since my primary school years. The grand story of time was told in broken Greek sculptures, figures whose amazingly detailed limestone carvings were often missing arms and heads to the brittle ravages (无情的破坏) of time. We explored the patterns of the Medieval era and the early Renaissanc

20、e religious symbolism of Michelangelo and Botticelli. We analyzed the mustard (芥末黄) and chiaroscuro (明暗对比) glare of the Baroque paintings of Caravaggio and El Greco, and we were amazed by the sandcastle-naturalism of the Spanish architect Gaudi. The history of art has fascinated me ever since.I neve

21、r had a talent for art myself, but I always did have a well-grounded appreciation for those who did. In primary school, we explored art through music and painting classes, but once we entered secondary school, art was an elective course and quickly limited to the dustbins of my memory. It was only a

22、fter that humble art history class that I realized what I had been missing. I strongly believe that a well-rounded society needs everyone to have an early education in the arts. A healthy society needs all its members to open their eyesand their mindsso that they can learn what is true and beautiful

23、, just as the famous Greek philosopher Plato said, “The reflection of beauty causes the soul to grow wings”.24. Whats the meaning of the underlined sentence in the first paragraph?A.

26、ory.C. To urge people to explore more art classes in an early age.D. To arouse peoples awareness of the importance of early art education.CTo many people, honey bees symbolize wealth, sustainability and environmentalism. But as a honey bee researcher, I have to tell you that only the first item on t

27、hat list is defensible. Although they are important for agriculture, honey bees, which are usually imported from outside the local area, also disturb natural ecosystems by competing with native bees.For several years the media has told us that bee populations are under threat. In response to this me

28、dia campaign to save the bees, raising honey bees has become a popular hobby. But as a species, honey bees are least in need of saving. Much media attention is given to honey bees at the expense of native bees, and this has led many citizensmyself once includedto mistakenly believe they are doing a

29、good thing for the environment by raising honey bees. Unfortunately, they are probably doing more harm than good.“Beekeeping is for people; its not a conservation practice, says Shelly Smith, an environmental science professor. People mistakenly think keeping honey bees also helps the native bees, w

30、hich are at risk of extinction. Thats wrong.”Smith and her research team recently surveyed one thousand local people in Canada and found that they had a surprisingly poor understanding of bee types and their roles in promoting flower growth. Most peoples attention is on saving honey bees when, from

31、a conservationists point of view, native bees are the ones in more need of support.“To make matters worse, beekeeping companies and various non-science-based projects have financially benefited from the decline of native bee populations, Smith explains. These companies pretend they are interested in

32、 saving bees but their actions are actually damaging the native bee populations.”The introduction of honey bees increases competition with native bee populations for food, putting even more pressure on the wild species that are already in decline. Honey bees are extremely efficient food gatherers an

33、d take over almost all local flower resources, thus leading to damaging competitionthat is, where one species uses up a resource, not leaving enough to go around.28. Which statement does the writer argue for?A. Honey bees endanger native bees.B. Honey bees are a symbol of wealth.C. Honey bees are im

34、portant for agriculture.D Honey bees can defend natural ecosystems.29. What can be inferred from paragraph 2?A. Beekeeping is a still-popular traditional hobby.B. The media is responsible for misleading the public.C. Citizens attempts to protect the environment are effective.D. The media campaign ha

35、s failed to promote honey bee businesses.30. What surprised Shelly Smiths team?A. Beekeeping companies making great profits.B. The quick expansion of bee-friendly habitats.C. The publics ignorance of bee varieties and roles.D. Insufficient attention given to saving honey bees.31. How does the writer

36、 develop the last paragraph?A. By listing examples. B By making comparisons.C. By analyzing survey data. D. By explaining cause and effect.DImprovements to energy efficiency, such as LED lights, are seen by many authorities as a top priority for cutting carbon emissions. Yet a growing body of resear

37、ch suggests that a rebound effect could wipe out more than half of the savings from energy efficiency improvements, making the goals of the Paris Agreement on climate change even harder to hit.A team led by Paul Brockway at the University of Leeds, UK, looked at the existing 33 studies on the impact

38、 of the rebound effect. First comes the direct rebound: for instance，when someone buys a more efficient car, they may take advantage of that by driving it further. Then comes the indirect rebound: fuel savings leave the owner with more money to spend elsewhere in the economy, consuming energy.Althou

39、gh the 33 studies used different methods to model the rebound effect, they produced very consistent estimates of its impact, leading the team to conclude that the effect wipes out, on average, 63 percent of the anticipated energy savings.“Were not saying energy efficiency doesnt work. What were sayi

40、ng is rebound needs to be taken more seriously，” says Brockway.The idea that increased efficiency may not deliver the hopedfor savings dates back to the Jevons paradox(悖论), named after the economist William Stanley Jevons, who, in 1865，observed that more efficient coal use led to more demand for coa

41、l.If the rebound effect does prove to be as big as suggested, it means future global energy demand will be higher than expected and the world will need far more wind and solar power and carboncapture technology than is currently being planned for.But that doesnt mean nothing can be done to limit the

42、 rebound effect. One answer is to double down on energy efficiency and do twice as much to achieve the same effect.32. Which of the following is a rebound effect?A. A man uses LED lights to cut carbon emissions.B. A company uses coal more efficiently to reduce waste.C. A family saves money by using

43、energysaving devices.D. A lady spends savings from her fuel efficient car on more clothes.33. How did Paul Brockways team carry out their research?A. By interviewing economists.B. By analyzing former studies.C. By modeling the rebound effect.D. By debating about the Jevons paradox.34. What would Pau

44、l Brockway probably agree with?A. Authorities should dismiss energy efficiency.B. Worldwide efforts to preserve energy are in vain.C. The rebound effect helps protect the environment.D. More attention should be paid to the rebound effect.35. Whats the authors attitude towards limiting the rebound ef

45、fect?A. Positive. B. Pessimistic. C. Doubtful. D. Disapproving.第二节（共5小题;每小题2.5分，满分12.5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 Improve Your RelationshipsHaving stable and positive relationships in your life can make you happier and more fulfilled.
