第二部分 阅读理解（满分20分）阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。
A
The year 47 will be an eventful one for art. In May of that year in Berlin, the philosopher-artist Jonathon Keats’ “century cameras”— cameras with a 100-year-long exposure (曝光)time—will be brought back from hiding places around the city to have their results developed and exhibited. Six months after that, the Future Library in Oslo, Norway, will open its doors for the first time, presenting 100 books printed on the wood of trees planted in the distant past of 2017.
As Katie Paterson, the creator of the Future Library, puts it: “Future Library is an artwork for future generations.” These projects, more than a century in the making, are part of a new wave of slow art intended to push viewers and Participants to think beyond their own lifetimes. They aim to challenge today’s short-term thinking and the brief attention spans of modern consumers, forcing people into considering works more deliberately. In their way, too, they are fighting against modern culture—not just regarding money, but also the way in which artistic worth is measured by attention.
In a similar fashion, every April on Slow Art Day, visitors are encouraged to stare at five works of art for 10 minutes at a time—a tough task for the average museum visitor, who typically spends less than30seconds on each piece of art.
Like the Future Library, the century cameras are very much a project for cities, since it’s in cities that time runs fastest and the pace of life is fastest. “Since I started living in a city, I’ve somehow been quite disconnected,” Anne Beate Hovind, the Future Library project manager, who described how working on the library drew her back to the Pace of life she knew when she was growing up on a farm in her youth, told The Atlantic magazine.
1、According to the first paragraph, what will NOT happenin47?
A．A camera which was produced 100 years ago will be exhibited.
B．The Future Library will be0pen to the public for the first time.
C．Photos with a 100-year exposure time will be developed and exhibited.
D．Books printed on the wood of trees planted in 2017 will be displayed.
2、What can we learn about today’s people’s attitude toward works of art?
A．They consider works deliberately.
B．They spend little time on Works.
C．They spend much money 0n works.
D．They stare at works for 10 minutes at a time.
3、What is the purpose of the wave of slow art?
A．To advocate creating works of art slowly.
B．To protect works of art from being damaged.
C．To promote works of art for modern culture.
D．To encourage people to pay more attention to works of art.
4、How would Anne Beate Hovind feel about the city life?
A．It’s discouraging
B．It’s dull
C．Its developed.
D．It’s busy

B
They say that an apple a day keeps the doctor away ． Well, there is one lady who believes that it’s actually chocolate．At 102 years of age, she’s living proof．
According to Boonville, Indiana’s Eunice Modlin, a daily dose of chocolate has been the key to a long and healthy life．Specifically, two pieces of dark chocolate．It’s not just Eunice who believes this．
Many scientists have attributed the sweet to health benefits such as lower chances of cancer, cardiovascular disease, and diabetes．
However, researchers believe that Eunice might be overlooking the fact that she has never smoked or drunk alcohol in her long life, and that chocolate might not be the significant cause of her longevity．
“There are so many other factors to her long life and chocolate isn’t the only one,” nutritionist Vanessa Rissetto said．“Genes, her diet in general…are probably the main reasons.”
At any rate, Eunice is still alive and kicking ． With four children, seven grandkids, 14 great-grandkids and 11 great-great grandkids, this lady has a big family．
It must be noted that Eunice was also very athletic, being an archer in her 20s ．Amazingly, she has lived through tough times such as the Great Depression and World War II ．Also, the healthy blood runs through the veins of other family members．Eunice’s brother is also still alive, at 101 years of age．
No matter what you might think, Eunice’s consumption of chocolate can’t be ignored．In 2015, a BMJ study showed that a daily treat of one small bar would give the consumer 23% less chance of having a stroke (中风)．
What is in the sweet that makes it so beneficial? Apparently, cocoa beans have flavonoids, plant nutrients that have useful antioxidants (抗氧化剂)．
“Not all chocolate is created equal,” Rissetto warns ．“Dark chocolate has more flavonoids than milk chocolate, and white chocolate—which does not actually contain chocolate—is not a good source of flavonoids.”
1、According to the article, which of the following lead to Eunice Modlin’s long and healthy life?
a．two pieces of dark chocolate
b．genes
c．lifelong exercise
d．good diet
e．love of her large family
A．a, b, d B．b, c, d
C．a, b, e D．a, c, d
2、Rissetto thinks that ．
A．chocolate is the most important thing that affects Eunice’s health
B．no smoking or drinking contributes the most to Eunice’s longevity
C．chocolate really has nothing to do with her long and healthy life
D．Eunice’s good diet doesn’t only mean taking chocolate every day
3、What the author presented in the passage sounds ．
A．persuasive B．objective
C．subjective D．critical
4、From the whole passage we can conclude that______________．
A．there’s universal proof for what contributes to a long life
B．it is generally accepted that chocolate is the key to longevity
C．many factors may contribute to people’s good health
D．a bit of any chocolate a day keeps the doctor away

There is an English saying “It never rains but it pours”. I now believe it was probably true. Last Saturday, I had a terrible time. It was rather cold, or quite sunny, so after lunch I went downtown, plan to buy a sweater. I was looking at the window of clothes shop when someone stole my wallet. While I was going to home, it started to rain and I arrived home coldly and miserable. I decided to have a hot bath. I was getting ready to have my bath while the doorbell rang. It was a salesman and it took me several minute to get rid of him. Unfortunate, all the time he was talking to us, the water was running. You can imagine the state of the bathroom!
