Painting and writing on walls is nothing new. In prehistoric(史前的)times, people in Africa and Europe painted pictures of animals and people in caves. Graffiti has been found at ancient sites in Greece, Italy, Syria and Iraq. In the Roman town of Pompeii in Italy, archaeologists found a lot of graffiti written in Latin, including political and romantic messages, and even some magic spells! In the 1970s, young people in New York used pens to write their names, or "tags", on walls around the city. One of the first "taggers" was Demetrius, a teenager from a Greek family. He wrote his tag on walls in his neighbourhood and in subway stations on the way to school. Other teenagers saw Demetrius's tag and started writing..their own tags on walls, buses and subway trains all over New York. Then, some teenagers stopped using pens and started using paints. Their tags were bigger and more colourful and appeared on trains, buses and walls around the world. In the 1990s and 2000s, a lot of graffiti artists started to make pictured too. In many countries, it is a crime to paint on walls and street artists can have problems with the police. In other countries, street art is permitted in certain places. Nowadays, street art is more popular with the public. In some cities, there are street art festivals. In Bristol in the UK, there is a street art festival in August every year.

"Why do I live? Why do I wish for anything, or do anything? Is there anything in my life that will not be destroyed by my death?" Like Leo Tolstoy, the famous Russian writer, many people ask these difficult questions. Tolstoy spent his whole life trying to answer these difficult questions. As a young man, he thought people could achieve perfection if they tried hard enough. So he worked very hard to be the best in everything. He thought that he would find meaning and truth in success. In 1850s. Tolstoy wrote his first stories. He wrote about his life in the army. He also told stories about his childhood. These works were published and Tolstoy became a well-known writer. He earned the respect he always wanted. Many rich and smart men met and talked with Tolstoy. Some of them were writers like him. They talked a lot about faith ( 信仰) and the meaning of life. But soon Tolstoy recognized that these men were not perfect. Now he knew they could not answer his questions about faith. So in the 1860s, Tolstoy tried a different way to find the meaning of life. He opened a school for the children of his serfs-the people who worked on his land. These workers were very poor. He wanted to help them because he thought they were more honest than the rich people he knew. Tolstoy learned a lot from his workers. He understood how they worked hard to support their families. He began to believe that marriage and family would give his life meaning. So in 1862, Leo Tolstoy married a young woman named Sonya Behrs. The next 15 years were the best years of Tolstoy's life. It was during this time that he wrote his most famous books-War and Peace and Anna Karenina. Many experts say that War and Peace is one of the greatest books ever written. In these books, Tolstoy believed humans should live a simple life and take care of their families. Tolstoy thought this would satisfy him and bring him happiness. Leo Tolstoy is still a very respected writer today. His faith and writings have influenced many people all over the world. 1.Which is the correct order of the following events? ① Tolstoy served in the army.②Tolstoy got married. ③ Tolstoy wrote War and Peace.④Tolstoy opened a school. ⑤ Tolstoy became a well-known writer. A. ①⑤③②④ B. ⑤①③②④ C. ①⑤④②③ D. ⑤④①③② 2.Why did Tolstoy want to be the best in everything when he was young? A. To prepare for his books. B. To achieve perfection. C. To make a lot of money. D. To show his wisdom. 3.Tolstoy thought he would learn a lot from his workers because they were ____________. A. poor B. honest C. friendly D. patient 4.According to the passage, which of the following is the most important to Tolstoy? A. Family. B. Success. C. Wealth. D.

阅读与回答问题。 When Dr, Karen McComb came to Amboseli Park her first task was to learn the names of the one hundred or so elephants most often seen. Scientists working in the park have learned to study elephants by watching them up close. They have a list of almost one thousand elephants. There are records for all of the elephants born since 1972. Amboseli was a good place for Dr. McComb to study animal communications. Elephants were a great subject because their lifestyle depends on communication. Dr. McComb and her team had learned a lot about elephant communication, but they kept on thinking about one puzzling (困惑的) watch. Some families were better at distinguishing (区别) calls of friends from those of strangers. What made some families smarter than others? The scientists searched their records for an explanation. To their surprise, there was only one factor (因素) of importance: The "smartest" families always had the oldest grandmothers. A family, as it did in all other activities, waited for some signal (信号) from the grandmother when they heard a strange contact call. And older, more experienced grandmothers were better at telling whether other elephants were strangers or friends just by their calls. That was an important discovery. It showed how an elephant family depends on the experience of the grandmother. 回答下面5个问题,每题答案不超过5个词。 1.How do scientists working in the park study elephants? 2.What did Dr. McComb study? 3.What did Dr. McComb and her team do for an explanation? 4.Who does everyone in elephant families listen to? 5.What does an elephant family depend on in all the activities?

C) 根据短文内容及首字母提示,填写所缺单词,使短文意思完整。 "Olyvia, love is simple. You don't have to do much to make someone happy." That was what my mother said to me when I was a child. Over a year ago, I had a chance. My good friend Kaylee told me about her t1. to a small town called Gary, and how it was a life—changing experience. I made up my mind to go there m2. . When I told my parents about the decision, they didn't a3. at first. They said I didn't know much about the place. They were worried that it was not s4. for me to go there. Thankfully, after I explained my plan to them in detail, they said yes. When our group arrived in Gary, I noticed how different the town was from where I lived. There were few stores or restaurants in the town; most had closed. So you would be very l5. if you could find a place to buy food or drinks. H6. were built on small hills. Many of them had broken doors or windows. My job was to help the local people to r7. houses. The work days were long and hot, but it was really good to see the houses taking on a new look day by day. The children there were also different. They seemed to enjoy every moment in life t8. they were poor. The smallest things would make these kids happy. I couldn't find words to describe their joy when they r9. an ice-cream, a ball or even a kiss. The community was like a big family. Everyone knew each other and was there when someone needed help. I am so glad that I had this unforgettable experience. I t10. learned the meaning of what my mother said. You don't need to do much to make a difference to others' lives.
