They consider it unnecessary to human existence. To others, art is important and meets some human needs that can't be met any other way.‎ So what is the purpose of art?‎ The earliest art — cave drawings and the like — certainly had some important purposes. This type of art was a record of events, a means of sharing stories, and a way to pass on information. People created primitive (原始的) art to show the world around them — pictures were usually of animals, birds, plants, and humans in scenes of daily life, especially hunting.‎ In recent centuries, art has become more complicated（复杂）. The spoken and written words have become our major means of communication, so art can be more than just a chronicle of historic events or a way to share stories, although it still can be those things as well.‎ Through art, artists share their feelings in a way that brings on something from the viewers. The feelings one experiences when viewing art may be pleasing or not. The artist is trying to express something; it’s up to you to figure out what that is. Art is a conversation between you and the artist; they put themselves into their work, and you bring yourself to your explanation of it. Because of the feelings that art can bring on — feelings that usually cannot be brought on by other means — art is necessary to human existence. Art meets our needs for selfexpression, communication, and our desire for connection with other humans across centuries and cultures.‎ Now, we can conclude that art is very important. Since it is important, kids should learn it.‎ ‎5．What do we know about the primitive art?‎ A．It didn’t have any important purposes.‎ B．It was mainly about people's daily life.‎ C．It was created mainly to entertain people.‎ D．It was meant to help people understand the world.‎ ‎6．What does the underlined word “chronicle” in Paragraph 4 mean?‎ A．Record. 　　 B．Tool.　　 C．Guide. D．Mirror.‎ ‎7．Paragraph 5 mainly shows art’s use of ________.‎ A．making a living B．explaining problems C．storing information D．exchanging feelings ‎8．The text is meant to show that ________.‎ A．kids love art for a reason B．children should study art C．art is very important to humans D．art is used for different purposes ‎ C Dear John，‎ My name is Amber and I want to share my story with you because what you’ve shared about life and positive energy has changed my life.‎ This past year has been one of the hardest for me. I felt I was stuck in a position that had nothing to do with what I wanted to do with my life. In January, after two years of being together, my boyfriend left me.‎ I read your blog every Monday morning as I drink my coffee at work, but it wasn’t until this March that I told myself “no more negativity” as you taught readers in your blog.‎ Since then I’ve got into new habits at work to keep my energy positive. When people walk in the front door, I’m the first face they see, so I smile big when I say “good morning” to them, especially on Mondays. Instead of waiting for someone to ask me for help, I offer it with an open mind. The CEO noticed my change and offered me the executive assistant position that I wanted.‎ One of the biggest things I’ve taken to heart from your blog is changing my perspective on my job. Yes, it was not an important position, but when I was passionate (热情的) about it, I could make my life fulfilling.‎ All in all, I have to thank you somehow for having the passion to help others because ‎ it truly is inspiring to me. So thank you so much, John. My life has changed because your words pointed me in the right direction. Take care!‎ Sincerely，‎ Amber ‎9.

I can buy and eat whatever I want simply with a tap of my phone,” said Lin Jinlong, an overseas Chinese student from Cambodia, adding that “even pancake sellers are using Alipay(mobile payment).” “We can also order food at home, which is super convenient. If I were at home in Cambodia, I would have to go outdoors.” ‎ The bikes themselves are not new, but the operating model of bike-sharing is based on satellite navigation system, mobile payment, big data and other high technologies. Chinese businessmen have surprised the world with the business model of bike-sharing which includes those technologies, and are entering overseas markets ‎ such as Singapore and Britain. China has entered a new innovative era(创新时代), thanks to the large amounts of capital China has invested in encouraging innovation, said Bernhard Schwartlander, World Health Organization Representative in China. As a huge fan of bicycles, he also expressed his affection for China’s shared bicycles, saying that “shared bikes are bringing cycling back to people’s lives... and they are making public transport more attractive and convenient, and encouraging people to be more active.”‎ ‎“It is increasingly clear that China is innovating and no longer copying Western ideas. It is increasingly clear that China is leading in many ways such as... social messaging app WeChat,” she said. “This is partly because China skipped over the PC era and went directly to mobile. China has the largest mobile use in the world.”‎ Lin talked about his experience of traveling by Chinese high-speed train from Beijing to the coastal city of Tianjin more than 100 km away. The journey takes only half an hour, while in Cambodia, which has only two railways, such a journey may take up to three hours.‎ Wu Hao, executive director of the BRRI, said Lin’s view appears to suggest that youths of countries participating in the Belt and Road Initiative wish their home countries would imitate China in terms of technological achievements.‎ ‎13. Why does the author mention the inventions in ancient times?‎ A. To lead to the main topic.‎ B. To serve as the background.‎ C. To explain the meaning of them.‎ D. To show China’s ability of changing the world. ‎ ‎14. What do we know about the new great four inventions?‎ A. Most Chinese order food at home.‎ B. The train speed in Cambodia is around 33 km/h.‎ C. Western countries are copying Chinese ideas in many ways. ‎ D. The pattern of bike-sharing is based on many high technologies. ‎ ‎15. What is the best title for the text?‎ A. China and Her New Era B. China: A Country Followed by Many Countries C. China’s Four Great Inventions in Ancient Times D. China: Changing the World with Her Four New Inventions 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。‎ ‎ Family love is one of the most valuable gifts in life and one that you cannot buy anywhere. 16 Here are four ways for you to become closer to your family：‎ ‎1．Increase Your Love You've probably heard the song lyric, “ 17 ” What changes a house into a home is true love. Love strengthens the connection, while anger tears it apart.‎ ‎2．Give Freedom It doesn't matter whatever position you have in a family; you need to give freedom to the other members of it. 18 Freedom is one of the most basic needs of humanity and one of the greatest gifts in life.‎ ‎3．Learn to Forgive There will always be differences in personalities and preferences between family members.
