Since I'm new, I might have made some mistakes in my work. Please put a cross wherever you see a mistake. ”‎ When he came back in the evening, he was completely shocked to see that the whole painting was filled with crosses. He ran to his master and said to him, "I’m useless and if this is what I have learned to paint, I'm not worth teaching.”‎ The master smiled and said, "I'll let you know that you are a great artist. Now go to paint the same painting again and give it to me.” ‎ Then they went to the same street the next morning and put the same painting exactly at the same place. Now the master took out another board which read, "Gentlemen, I have painted ‎ this piece . I might have made some mistakes in my painting. I have put a box with colors and brushes just below. If you see a mistake, pick up the brush and correct it. " Two days later, they came back to the place.

Scientists say she probably died of lung disease when she was in her 40s---about 2,000 years ago---in Egypt. They even have a model of her skull(头骨). Based on that, an artist was sure how she may have looked when she was alive. And yet, the mummy’s coffin has never been opened. Instead, scientists ‎ used a machine called a CT scanner(扫描仪) to look inside.‎ CT scanners were developed to help doctors examine patients. But the machines turned out to be perfect for studying mummies, too.‎ ‎“A hundred years ago, scientists would usually open mummies’ coffins. This did a great deal of harm to those mummies,” say AMNH president Ellen V. Futter. “We just don’t do that anymore. We can do so much better. By using CT scanners, scientists can know about an ancient person’s diet from some of a mummy’s hair. Pieces of bone can show who was related to whom.”‎ Some mummies in Peru were buried with a skull hanging from their neck. Scientists thought these mummies wore the skull of an enemy. But DNA evidence showed that the mummies were buried with the skull of an ancestor(祖先).‎ The 19 mummies in the show are from Egypt and Peru. They had completely different reasons for mummifying the dead. The ancient Egyptians believed that mummification allowed an ancestor to live on in the next world. The people who prepared the Gilded Lady thought she would continue to see, hear, and smell. In ancient Peru, people practiced mummification to stay connected with their ancestors. Some families kept mummies in their home.‎ Futter calls the mummies in the show “messengers from another time.” With the help of technology, scientists will continue to uncover mummies’ secrets so we can understand it. ‎ ‎32. What did scientists find about the Gilded Lady?‎ A.She was a great artist.‎ B.She died a natural death.‎ C.She lived in ancient Egypt.‎ D.She had an amazingly long life.‎ ‎33. What do Futter’s words suggest?‎ A.Pieces of bone show a person’s diet.‎ B.CT scanners do great harm to mummies.‎ C.Mummies usually wore the skull of an enemy.‎ D.Technology plays an important role in mummy studies.‎ ‎34.Why did the ancient Peruvians make mummies?‎ A.To do traditional medical research.‎ B.To keep close ties with their relatives.‎ C.To help their families live a better life.‎ D.To let their ancestors live in another world.‎ ‎35What does the underlined word “it” in the last paragraph refer to?‎ A.The technology.‎ B.Their message.‎ C.Their family.‎ D.The show.‎ 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。‎ ‎ Things You Should Stop Doing to Be Successful Are you a happy person? How often do you think of reasons why everyone around you is successful though they are not better than you in general? What do you do wrong? Here are some things you should stop doing to be successful.‎ ‎1. 36 ‎ Different people may interpret “success” in different ways： some of them measure it in money, other ones — in positive changes to people around them and the world in general. 37 Don’t worry about what other people think but come after what makes you happy.‎ ‎2.Do not believe anything without questioning it.‎ ‎ 38 They are critical thinkers, and they understand that we all are ruled by our prejudices, so they will always question new information.‎ ‎3.Do not worry about all unpredictable things that may happen to you.‎ If you want to be successful,stop thinking about everything that MAY happen to you. 39 Be ready to improve and change your deeds and decisions when things suddenly don’t go according to your plan.‎ ‎4.Do not care about what other people think of you.‎ ‎ 40 Your attempts to become “good” for everyone will turn into nothing but new ‎ worries, stresses, and problems.
