When Kathryn was 6 years old，she sat outside her home for three hours and did not make a
sound.Her parents wondered why she was so quiet，only to discover that she was drawing a picture of a
flag outside.She recalled.“That’s what I wanted to do that day，” said Kathryn，who is now 23 years
old.And in the future，she continued to do art as a hobby.
Recently，Kathryn was named Lake Placid’s first artist in the neighborhood.She will be there for at
least four weeks and possibly more.During that time，she will teach an art class and focus on her own
art.Much of her work includes creating photos.She said，“There is always something there that you
haven’t included，so you can never stop when painting a photo.”
Kathryn ended up as the first artist just by chance.She said her sister was on vacation in Florida and
looking for a job in Lake Placid.The sister got the job and moved there.
Kathryn said she visited her sister and was ordered to do wall paintings inside a building.Later，her
sister saw a demand for an artist online and suggested she should apply.
Kathryn said she’s the first artist in her family，but added that her parents are creative.Her father
loves to create things from wood.“Anything you can make out of wood，he has made it，” she said.
Her own creativity with art continued through college.While at college，she was once employed to
recreate a photo of a couple on a vacation to Florida and one of a sunset in either North Carolina or South
Carolina.
Kathryn said she’s looking at other forms of art.“The time I spend here will help me to figure out who
I am as an artist，” she said.

The Last Supper is regarded as one of the supreme masterpieces in the whole field of pictorial
art.Tradition has it that Leonardo da Vinci worked for ten years upon the painting；the monks in the church
annoyed at the delay.It was said that Leonardo often painted continuously from dawn to night without
eating his meals.But at other times he spent hours before the picture ，lost in contemplation ，
examining，comparing，and measuring his figures.
This inactivity aroused the anger of the fussy Prior，the head of the church，who belonged to the
large group of those who believed that the busier a man seems，the more he accomplishes；and so he tried
to find fault with the idle(空闲的) painter.Leonardo was slightly unhappy and explained to somebody else
that there is a great difference between the work of the creative artist and the stonemason(石匠)．The
creative artist needs time for contemplation；he may be busiest when his hands are idlest.Just now he
needed two heads to complete the picture：that of Christ，for which no model on earth could be found，
for where was the man to be found whose face would express the strength，and beauty，and tenderness，
and deep sorrow of the Christ；then he also needed a head of Judas，and that was hard to find as well，
for where was the man whose face could express the meanness of that base traitor(叛徒)．But he would
look no further，if none came his way，he would be satisfied to take Prior as a model for Judas.This threat
silenced the angry Prior，who quite naturally had no desire to pass to descendants(后代) in such a fashion.
28．Why did the Prior complain about the delay?
A．Because he thought that the painter idled most of the hours.
B．Because he knew that genius might be busiest when seemingly idlest.
C．Because he liked the work of a stonemason.
D．Because he was eager to be taken as a model for Judas.
29．What does the underlined word “contemplation” in Paragraph 1 mean?
A．Possibility. B．Intention.

30．Which of the following is TRUE?
A．The painter was pleased with the Prior’s anger.
B．The Prior was angry because he thought the painter did not work hard.
C．The painter took one of the monks as a model for Christ.
D．The painter took one of the monks as a model for Judas.
31．Why did the Prior stop complaining?
A．He did not wish to be remembered as an evil traitor after he died.
B．He wanted to be painted as a tender Christ.
C．He disliked to be painted in fashionable clothes.
D．He was pleased to be a fashionable model.

Many of you may have used Siri，a voice assistant of US tech company Apple.You only have to say
“hey Siri”and it will answer to your command.However，we may be sacrificing our privacy to enjoy this
convenience.
According to a recent report by The Guardian，Siri can be accidentally triggered and start recording
private conversations，such as discussions between doctors and patients.Some of these recordings are then
given to workers outside the company to review.
Apple claimed the data was used to help Siri improve，but users were not informed of this measure in
the first place.
Apple’s Siri is not the only voice assistant to come under fire.
In 2018，Alexa，a voice assistant developed by US tech company Amazon，recorded a private
conversation between a couple and sent it to a stranger without their permission.
These issues deepen concerns that tech companies are infringing users’ rights of privacy.
Many people have long feared that tech companies are listening and collecting data from private
conversations，reported Forbes.Using this data，third party companies could then paint an accurate
picture of users’ habits and preferences in order to serve them more targeted advertisements，or even
worse，sell this private data.
Despite this risk，the popularity of voice assistant seems to be unstoppable.
“In the near future，everything from your lighting to your airconditioning to your refrigerator，your
coffee maker，and even your toilet could be wired to a system controlled by voice，”commented The
Atlantic.
Colin Horgan wrote on the blog site Medium that he believed people’s daily lives will soon become a
source of data.
“The sounds of our homes，the symphony of life—laughing，crying，talking，shouting，sitting in
silence—will no longer be considered memories，but data，” he wrote.
To deal with the issue，Blake Morgan，reporter for The Atlantic，believed that the answer is
更多资料添加微信号：hiknow_007 淘宝搜索店铺：乐知课堂transparency.
“All companies need to have messaging ready to explain to customers what they do with private
data，”she wrote on The Atlantic.
32．What does the underlined sentence mean?
A．There are other fireproof voice assistants.
B．Other voice assistants are also being developed.
C．There are other voice assistants being criticized.
D．Other voice assistants also need improvement.
33．What seems to be people’s biggest concern about voice assistants?
A．Invading their privacy.
B．Sending their messages.
C．Making no improvements.
D．Serving them targeted advertisement.
34．What should companies do to solve the problem，according to Blake Morgan?
A．To stop collecting data through the voice assistant.
B．To explain their use of the data to customers.
C．To make their data more transparent.
D．To slow down the pace of technology advancement.
35．What is the author’s purpose in writing the text?
A．To show visions of a data world in the future.
B．To inform people of what tech companies are really up to.
C．To draw attention to the privacy issue voice assistants bring about.
D．To criticize companies’ invading customers’ privacy by collecting data.

The ability to stay positive is one of the most important skills for us.Why is this? The reason is that we
will spend most of our lives setting and trying to achieve goals.Everyone has dreams.Everyone wants to
know deep down inside that they were put here to do something great. 36 The second you set a goal，
difficulties will begin to appear to stand in your way.Most people let these challenges rob them of the life
they really want.
If you want to achieve greatness，if you want to experience the best life possible，then be prepared
to get knocked down over and over. 37 This explains why there are so many people who have stopped
trying to reach their dreams.
So how do you remain positive regardless of what type of challenge you are facing? It all comes down
to how you choose to respond to any situation as well as what you decide to focus on.No matter how bad
your situation is，you can always find something good in it. 38
更多资料添加微信号：hiknow_007 淘宝搜索店铺：乐知课堂If you keep focusing on how bad you have it，how are things supposed to get any better? 39 Of
course it is.If this is true，why even bother thinking positively? That is because if you do，you have a
chance to make things better.If you don’t，things will usually get a lot worse.
Realize that challenges are part of life. 40 It’s what makes reaching a goal worth it.If you were
able to get everything you wanted without even trying，the victory wouldn’t taste as sweet.
A．Everyone will have to go through them.
B．Staying positive can be beneficial in many ways.

D．You can do things like reading positive books or listening to positive songs.

One evening，a workman was exhaustedly making his way home after work，when he stopped to
rest by the side of the road.A woman came by，pushing a cart full of flowers.The smell of her blossoms so
filled the air with sweetness that it seemed to take away the tiredness in his bones and lift his spirits.He had
never experienced such wonder from the many blooms of his own garden.“How much must I pay，or what
must I do，to have some of your wonderful flowers？”He asked the woman.
“Oh，sir，” she said，“take what you wish for.”
“What return must I make for them？”He asked again.
“Your gratitude is enough，”she said，“and it’s a pleasure to share the beauty of flowers with
you.”
So the man filled his arms with blossoms and hurried joyfully home.His wife and his children were
also glad about the remarkable flowers，for they also discovered that the sight of them was a delight and
the smell of them refreshed the soul.
In order not to lose his valuable possession，the man planted the blossoms in a small plot of land
behind his house.Sunlight and water kept them amazingly beautiful—they still performed their fantastic
magic.
Every day，his children took delight in playing in the yard and always sang and danced around the
flowers.They all liked the lovely gift their father had received and even invited many of their friends to
share this fantastic magic together.When children came to play near the flowers，the man over and over
warned them against carelessness and wild play for fear that they walk on the flowers and damage
them.But the flowers remained strong as long as there was enough sun and water to nourish(滋养)
them.Nowhere else could the man or his wife or children find such remarkable relaxation from tiredness，
such comfort in sadness，such spiritual nourishment as those remarkable flowers provided.
更多资料添加微信号：hiknow_007 淘宝搜索店铺：乐知课堂With the news spreading and more people coming to appreciate his treasure，the man became even
more concerned about his remarkable flowers.
Paragraph 1：
He was determined to protect the flowers.
Paragraph 2：
However，the flowers seemed to fade day by day，so the man went everywhere for help.
