    9．Vivi Mac，an amazing artist from France，can use nearly any kind of food to create detailed celebrity portraits（名人肖像）．Although she has yet to display her short-lived work of arts in a proper art gallery，Vivi Mac has already made a name for herself online．
    We've seen some amazing food artists in the past，but none are quite like this one．Karen Eland is a master coffee painter，Elisabetta Rogai uses wine as her medium（媒介），Kelly McCollam uses food colouring（食用色素）to recreat classic paintings，but the self-taught Vivi Mac can take anything from chewing gum to milk and turn it into a fantastic portrait  When working with liquids，Mac uses a simple plastic straw and her hands to guide the unusual．mediums around a plastic plate which acts as a painting．Just how she manages to capture the finest facial features  is still a mistery  to me，and I've seen videos of her doing it many times，
    Vivi Mac has never attended art school．She only used online resources like blogs and facebook to learn the basics of drawing and painting．She started out working with pens and paper，but soon realized drawing wasn't just creative enough for her．She got into speed  painting and body painting，posting videos of her works on You Tube，but it wasn't until she began experimenting with different kinds of foods that her art got serious coverage．Photos and videos of her eatable celebrity portraits，like Bruce Lee in milk  Ice Cube in crushed ice or Amy Winehouse in wine，became popular on the French inter-webs and changed Vivi Mac into an online celebrity．

    分析 本文介绍了Vivi Mac与其他食物艺术家的不同之处在于，她可以把任何一种食物变成名人肖像，以及她是如何掌握这门特殊手艺的．

    解答 50．A．词义猜测题，根据文章第一段Although she has yet to display her short-lived work of arts in a proper art gallery，可猜出"display"的意思是展出，故选A．
    51．C．细节理解题，根据文章第二段We've seen some amazing food artists in the past，but none are quite like this one．Karen Eland is a master coffee painter，Elisabetta Rogai uses wine as her medium（媒介），Kelly McCollam uses food colouring（食用色素）to recreat classic paintings，but the self-taught Vivi Mac can take anything from chewing gum to milk and turn it into a fantastic portrait，可知Vivi Mac与其他食物艺术家的不同之处在于，她可以把任何一种食物变成名人肖像，故选C．
    52．C．推理判断题．根据最后一个自然段"Vivi Mac has never attended art school．She only used online resources like blogs and facebook to learn the basics of drawing and painting"可知用食物制作人物肖像，是一种艺术．故选C．

    17．Many people know the names Alexander Graham Bell and Thomas Edison．However，most people don't know the name of the man who invented the television，Philo Farnsworth．
          Philo Farnsworth was born in 1906 and grew up on a potato farm．As a boy，he loved to learn about science，and he read a lot of science books．When he was only thirteen years old，he drew a picture of a machine that could send pictures as radio sends sounds．He got the idea from the way the potatoes were planted in the field．The potatoes grew in long lines，side by side．This made a shape in Philo's mind．This shape helped Philo think of a way to send the TV picture onto a piece of glass．But he was poor，so Philo could not try to make his idea into a machine at that time．
          Later，Philo worked at many different jobs．He worked with trees．He worked on broken radios．He worked on trains．He also worked as a street cleaner．At last，two rich men heard about his idea for television，and they gave him the money to make it．On September 7th，1927，they watched Philo test the machine hebuilt．When Philo turned on the machine，a small line could be seen on the glass．Philo said，"There you have it，electric television．"
         Later，a big company，RCA，said they had made the first television．Philo had to spend a lot of money on lawyers to fight them．Finally，he won．Then，World War Two started in 1939．During the war，Philo spent a lot of money helping the US army instead ofbuilding up his television company．After the war，other bigger，richer companies started making televisions．In the end，Philo had to sell his company．

    4．It's still there，the Vietnamese school where my brother and I used to go．Even with a new coat of paint and the high wire fence，the school I knew ten years ago remains the same．
          Every day at 5 p．m．，instead of flying kites with our friends，my brother and I had to go to Vietnamese school．No amount of kicking，screaming，or arguing could stop my mother，who was determined to have us learn the language of our culture．She held us by the collar and walked with us the seven long，hilly blocks from our home to school，leaving our tearful faces before the front of the school．
        We all sat in little chairs in a big empty room，which had a slight smell of old clothes that had been stored for a long time．I hated that smell．There was a stage far to the right，with an American flag on one side and the flag of the Republic of Vietnam on the other side．
          Although the school mainly taught language----speaking，reading，dictation----the lessons always began with an exercise in politeness．With the entrance of the teacher，the best student would tap a bell and everyone would get up，and say in Vietnamese，"How are you，teacher？"
          The language always made me embarrassed．More often than not，I had tried to separate myself from the loud voice that followed me whenever I went to the American supermarket outside our area．The voice belonged to my grandmother，a small old woman who could shout louder than anyone on the street．Her Vietnamese was quick，it was loud，and it was not beautiful．
          In our area，the comings and goings of hundreds of Vietnamese on their daily tasks sounded crazy．I did not want to be thought of as being mad，as talking stupid．When I spoke English，people nodded at me，smiled and encouraged me．Even Vietnamese people would laugh and say that I'd do well in life．
    My brother was even stricter than I about speaking English．He was especially cruel towards my mother，scolding her for her poor English．Bits of Vietnamese were often mixed in her conversation．
    After two years of struggle，I finally divorced my culture．I was permitted to stop Vietnamese school．I thought of myself as American．At last，I thought I was one of you； I wasn't one of them．
     Sadly，I am only an American．
    51．What can be learned from the passage？D
    A．The author's brother liked learning Vietnamese．
    B．The author's mother taught him English at home．
    C．The author's mother put her sons in a language school in Vietnam．

    A．his Vietnamese was not beautiful enough
    B．his grandma spoke Vietnamese loudly in public
    C．he could not fly kites like other kids at school
    D．his mother always treated him rudely in the market
    53．It can be inferred from the last paragraph that the author feelsA．
    A．regretful       B．peaceful          C．satisfied       D．frightened
    54．What's the theme of the passage？C

    14．About five years ago，an American electrical engineer named Scott Brusaw and his wife Julie came up with the idea of putting solar panels（控制板）on the ground rather than the roof．Then they began to develop the Solar Roadway．The Solar Roadway is an intelligent road that provides clean renewable energy using power from the sun while providing safer driving conditions，along with power and data delivery．They predict that the Solar Roadway will pay for itself through the generation of electricity along with other forms of income and that the same money that is being used to build and resurface current roads can be used to build the Solar Roadways．
    Each Solar Road Panel measures roughly 4 meters by 4 meters and contains a microprocessor that monitors and controls the panel，while communicating with neighboring panels and the vehicles travelling overhead．The inventors suggest that this provides a communications device every 4 meters on every road，which could be used for example to warn drivers of cars which are moving across a centre line and various other speed control problems．The top of the Solar Road panels is made of super-strong glass that would offer vehicles the tractions（抓地力）they need．
    According to the inventors，the Solar Roadway creates and carries clean renewable electricity and therefore electric vehicles can be recharged at any conveniently located rest stop，or at any business that has paved Solar Road Panels in their parking lots．
    The inventors say their Solar Roadway has many functions and advantages from main roads to driveways，parking lots，bike paths，sidewalks and runways．The Federal Highway Administration has given Brusaw＄100，000 to develop the invention and Brusaw hopes to build a smart-road parking lot in the coming spring．
    71．In the inventors'opinion，the Solar RoadwayD．
    A．is too expensive to build at present           
    B．will bring them a large sum of money
    C．can provide as many data as present computers   
    D．costs no more money than current roads
    72．The underlined word"they"in Paragraph 2 refers toC．
    A．the panels      B．the inventors        C．the vehicles    D．the researchers
    73．The Solar Roadway includes all the following advantages exceptA．
    A．helping drivers communicate with each other while driving
    B．providing safer driving conditions
    C．creating and carrying clean renewable electricity
    D．warning drivers of various speed control problems
    74．It can be inferred from the text thatB．
    A．the Solar Roadway has already been put into use 
    B．the Solar Roadway is not available for gas-powered cars
    C．＄100，000 is only enough to build a smart-road parking lot
    D．future electric vehicles can be charged anytime and anywhere
    75．What can be the best title for the text？B
    A．The great changes on the roadway            
    B．Solar-powered smart road of the future
    C．The influence the Solar Roadway has on people   
    D．The Solar Road-a much faster road．

    Beatrix was born into a rich London-based family where she was tutored by very strict private teachers and so spent her youth isolated from other youngsters．During her youth she had a lot of pets and spent vacations in Scotland and also the Lake District．It was at the Lake District that she developed a love of wildlife．She studied the area's natural wonders carefully and painted them continuously．But her old-fashioned，Manchester-born parents discouraged her intellectual improvement，thinking it inappropriate for a young lady．However，her study and water color paintings of wild mushrooms made her widely respected within the field of biology．
     In her 30's，Beatrix Potter wrote the remarkably successful kid's book，The Tale of Pew Rabbit．Close to that time she became secretly engaged to her publisher Norman Warne．This caused a great disagreement with her parents，who did not approve of Beatrix getting married to somebody of lower social status．Sadly，Warne died before the marriage ceremony．
