Mohammed live in the 600s.One of the things he said was that no one should make copies of living things. In the 600s and 700s, the Moslems took over the Middle East. The artists of the Middle East had to follow the laws of Mohammed. For many years, they could not copy living figures. They could not draw people. Do you wonder what the Moslem artists did? They used their imaginations to make many beautiful and colorful designs. To make designs, they often used the shapes of flowers. Sometimes they used the curving lines of vines and palm leaves. The Moslem artists used designs to decorate many different things. They decorated the walls of buildings and the pages of books. Decoration became the most important part of Moslem art. After a while, some Moslem artists could paint pictures with people in them. In Persia in the 1400s,the artists made beautiful paintings for books. Even then, decoration still filled the pictures. The people in the pictures looked strange. They looked as if they were living in a dream world. Length 197 Total Reading Time Answer the following questions without referring to the reading: 查看更多

D

Yesterday was our three-year anniversary. We didn’t do anything romantic: we just walked hand in hand and talked about our past and future. This was pretty much what I had expected.

  Andy is unromantic guy: no sweet words or roses. Smart as he is, he is a little bit shy expressing his love. However, I am an outspoken girl who likes to show her feelings directly. So needless to say, I often feel that is insensitive. I envy other girls who are surrounded by sweet words from their boyfriends.

  I was in this sullen mood until I heard a beautiful sentence one day: “If someone does not love you in the way you like, it does not mean that he does not love you.” This simple but sensible sentence made me think about our happy days and recall his deep concern for me.

  One cold winter night, I got a high fever. He hurried to my dorm and took me to the hospital. He was in such a hurry that he even forgot to wear socks. Upon arrival, he ran through the hospital handling all the formalities(手续). When I was put on a drip(输液), he told me interesting stories to make me happy. Being held in his warm arms and listening to his tender voice, I had never felt so safe and comfortable. Gradually, I felt asleep. When I woke up 15 minutes later, he was still whispering to me. He explained that if he had stopped talking I would have waken up. At that moment, I found love in his sparkling eyes.

  Another time, I had a bad quarrel with my best friend. Although I knew it was my fault, I refused to admit it. I was angry when he insisted I apologize to her. He said that it was difficult to admit a mistake, but this was what everyone should do. The next morning, I apologized to my friend and asked for her forgiveness.

  My unromantic boyfriend cares about my health like my father, understand me like my mother and helps me like my elder brother.

67. Why does the author envy other girls of her age?

A. Their boyfriends look more handsome.        B. Their boyfriends express love directly.

C. They win a lot of praise from colleagues.      D. They often receive roses.

68. The word “sullen” in Paragraph 3 can be best replaced by “          ”.

A. cheerful                      B. calm                     C. happy                  D. bad

69. The author mentioned her experience in hospital to show Andy           .

A. loves her greatly              B. is always careless      C. is sometimes shy       D. is good at telling stories

70. The writer writes the passage to tell us that           .

A. Andy is very outspoken                                B. Andy is a perfect husband

C. Andy has his own way to express love         D. Andy cares more about others
