“In the future, everybody will be famous for 15 minutes,” said US artist Andy Warhol（1928 —1987）. And he is quite
right. Now it seems that anybody can become an instant online celebrity.
Warhol is best noted for his paintings that represent celebrity faces and US consumer goods, like Coca-Cola bottles or
Campbel’s soup cans. As a great influence on the twentieth century pop art movement, Andy Warhol rose to become a
cornerstone in the contemporary art world, devoted to bringing his views on materialism, polities and economics to the art.
Actually, the visual world Warhol created is directly connected to his background.
In the mid-1950s, the working class gathered a great deal of fortune. They wanted to achieve a higher status in society.
“The consumer goods and Hollywood faces are a working-class-coded iconography（肖像）that is often misinterpreted as
generally ‘American’.” Anthony E. Grudin, author of Warhol’s Working Class commented. Reproducing these themes in his
work meant that people outside of the art world could immediately connect with Warhol’s pictures. Considered “a creature of
transformation”, Warhol constantly explored with different forms of media to evoke resonance among people.
For example, in addition to being a painter, Warhol was, in the words of UK writer Peter Wollen: “A filmmaker, a writer, a
photographer, a TV soap opera producer.” Warhol, in short, was what we might call a ‘Renaissance（文艺复兴） man’, even
though he was a leader in pop or perhaps post-modern art.
In his later years, he founded Interview Magazine and wrote several books, including The Philosophy of Andy Warhol.
But UK artist Gillian Wearing said, “Warhol left his mark in many more ways than his actual work.” Warhol’s works are all
about “America, money, fame and death”, UK writer Jon Savage remarked. “He summer up , defined and in many ways
symbolized the world in which we now live.”
学科网（北京）股份有限公司4. What’s Andy Warhol’s purpose of creating his paintings?
A. To highlight Renaissance style. B. To combine art with materialism.
C. To attain fame and higher status. D. To challenge traditional art forms.
5. What do Andy Warhol’s paintings focus on?
A. Popular drinks. B. Average people.
C. Commercial products. D. Living scenes of working class.
6. What kind of person is Andy Warhol according to the text?
A. Constructive and multi-talented. B. Conservative and realistic.
C. Optimistic and encouraging. D. Creative and critical.
7. In which column of the newspaper can we read the passage?
A. Health. B. Sports. C. Science. D. People.

With a fragrance (芳香) through the bedrooms of older adults for two hours every night for six months, memories
skyrocketed. Participants in this study by University of California, Irvine (UCI)neuroscientists gained a 226% increase in
cognitive capacity compared to the control group. The researchers say the finding transforms the long-known tie between smell
and memory into an easy, non-invasive technique for strengthening memory and potentially preventing dementia (痴呆).
The project was conducted through the UCI Center for the Neurobiology of Learning & Memory. It involved men and
women aged 60 to 85 without memory impairment. All were given seven small containers, each containing a single and
different natural oil. People in the enriched group received full-strength oils. Control group participants were given the oils in
tiny amounts. Participants put a different container into their room each evening prior to going to bed, and it activated for two
hours as they slept.
People in the enriched group showed a 226% increase in cognitive performance compared to the control group, as
measured by a word list test commonly used to evaluate memory. Participants also reported sleeping more soundly. The
researchers say the results from their study bear out what scientists learned about the connection between smell and memory.
Scientists have long known that the loss of ability to smell, can predict development of nearly 70 neurological and
psychiatric diseases. These include Alzheimer’s and other dementias, Parkinson’s and alcoholism. Researchers have previously
found that exposing people with moderate dementia to up to 40 different smells twice a day over a period of time improved
their memories and language skills, eased depression and improved their sense of smell.
The team would next like to study the technique’s impact on people with diagnosed cognitive loss. A product based on
their study and designed for people to use at home is expected to come onto the market this fall.
8. What field may the findings be applied to?
A. Controlling sleep. B. Exploring smells.
学科网（北京）股份有限公司C. Developing skills. D. Promoting memory.
9. What is paragraph 2 mainly about?
A. Research results. B. Research process.
C. Research methods. D. Research purpose.
10. How did researchers assess the performance of the participants?
A. By giving the participants a test.
B. By scanning the participants’ brain.
C. By observing the participants’ actions.
D. By asking about the participants’ feeling.
11. What will the researchers focus on in future?
A. Developing a smell product.
B. The impact of cognitive loss.
C. Application of research results.
D. Doing market research for their product.

Researchers have proposed a novel method for counting and tracking vehicles on public roads, a development that could
improve current traffic systems and help travelers get to their destinations faster.
Using the cameras already installed on campus buses at the Ohio State University, researchers proved that they could
automatically and accurately measure counts of vehicles on urban roadways, detect objects in the road and distinguish parked
vehicles from those that are moving.
In previous studies, Ohio State researchers found that using these mobile cameras provides much better spatial and
temporal (时间的) coverage than relying on often temporarily placed sensors that don’t provide a view of many streets and
roads in a city.
“If we collect and process more high-resolution (高清) spatial information about what’s happening on the roads, then
planners could better understand changes in demand, effectively improving efficiency in the broader transportation system,”
said Keith Redmill, lead author of the study.
“If we can measure traffic in a way that is as good or better than what is conventionally done with fixed sensors, then we
will have created something incredibly useful extremely cheaply,” he said. “Our goal is to start building a system that could do
this without much manual intervention because if you want to collect this information over lots of potential vehicles and lots of
time, it’s worth fully automating that process.”
While still a long way from total implementation (实施), the study suggests the system’s results bear promise for the future
of intelligent traffic surveillance. Transportation planners, engineers and operators make vital decisions about the future of our
学科网（北京）股份有限公司roadways, so when designing transportation systems to work over the next 30 to 50 years, it’s necessary that we give them data
that allows them to improve the efficiency of the system and the level of service provided to travelers.
12. How can cameras on buses benefit travelers?
A. By shortening their travel time.
B. By making their schedules tight.
C. By decreasing their transport cost.
D. By improving their safety awareness.
13. What can we know about the sensors placed on buses?
A. They provide more spatial coverage.
B. They can’t detect objects on the road.
C. They cover less view of the urban traffic.
D. They accurately record the flow of traffic.
14. What does the underlined word “surveillance” in paragraph 6 mean?
A. Operation. B. Monitoring. C. Protection. D. Arrangement.
15. What is a suitable title for the text?
A. Transportation automation is on its way
B. It is time to improve the efficiency of traffic system
C. Transportation planners use cameras to make policies
D. Cameras installed on buses can better measure traffic

At one table by the window, a lady just finished up her lunch. It wasn’t anything fancy, just a sandwich and some salad,
with a cup of tea to wash them all down. She seemed to be in her own little world, staring out the window every now and then,
like she was waiting for something. After a bit, she got up, paid for her meal at the counter, and left.
Her table was still a mess, with bits of her meal left behind. It wasn’t a big deal—this happens all the time. But today,
something different was going to happen. A young boy, who looked like he’d had a pretty rough time, had been watching her
and the table from around the corner.
This kid was in bad shape. His clothes were too big and looked like they’d seen better days. His hair was all over the place,
and there was dirt on his face. He had that look of someone who hadn’t had a good meal for way too long. When the lady left,
he saw his chance. He quickly sat down and started scarfing down (狼吞虎咽) the leftovers like they were the best meal he’d
ever had.
But then, the waiter walked over. He was an older guy who’d probably seen everything. He didn’t say anything at first, just
watching the kid for a second. The boy got scared and stopped eating, and tears started to well up in his eyes. He thought the
waiter would kick him out for sure. Instead, the waiter took away the half-eaten plate, and the boy’s heart sank. The boy got up
to leave.
注意：1.续写词数应为150个左右；
2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
But before he could get far, the waiter came back.

Convenience or Burden
Nowadays, QR codes are everywhere in our lives. They have clearly led to increased convenience in our daily life. With a
clear “beep” after scanning a QR code by WeChat or Alipay, a cashless payment will instantly be accomplished, thus saving us
the trouble of carrying wallets around, not to mention its function to keep electronic records of every transaction.
However, as opportunities and requirements for scanning increase, what should be a convenience and quick scan can
sometimes be turned into a burden. Imagine yourself in a restaurant with a smartphone without power, cold, hungry and
penniless, and the boss only accepts orders placed through a mini-program on WeChat/Alipay! What a bad luck!
From my perspective, the widespread use of QR codes is more of a convenience than a burden. QR codes save time,
increase security and help consumers make informed choices. We can easily solve the problem of battery anxiety by carrying a
power bank on us.

But before he could get far, the waiter came back. He had a full, fresh meal in hand—warm and smelling amazing. He
signaled the little boy to sit down and landed the meal with great care on to the table. The kid couldn’t believe it and couldn’t
学科网（北京）股份有限公司find words to express himself. He just stared for a second until the tears started falling. This time, they were happy tears. In the
meantime, the whole canteen went quiet when the people in the canteen saw what was happening.
Then all people in the canteen started clapping. Everyone was smiling and looking at the kid enjoying his surprise meal.
As the boy ate, other consumers started walking up to the waiter and giving him some money. They were tipping him, but it
wasn’t just a few coins; they were super generous. The boy, with a full stomach and a happy heart, looked like he couldn’t
thank the waiter enough. They didn’t talk much, but it didn’t matter. They were just two people sharing a quiet moment
together, and it felt like they understood each other perfectly.
