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 extraordinary price paid for the last Leonardo da Vinci’s painting in private hands has resulted in a fevered guess at the buyer — but so far the new owner’s identity is inscrutable.
Christie’s, the auction (拍卖) house that sold “Salvator Mundi” in New York on Wednesday, has remained silent about who paid $ 450m for the 500-year-old work — a price that set a world auction record. With the pool of possible buyers limited to billionaires and a very few institutions, some in the art world are trying to narrow it down to a region or nationality.
Thomas Seydoux, an art adviser and former head of Impressionist and Modem Art at Christie’s, suspects that the bidder is “new money”, because the bidding went up in “wild increases” - at one stage jumping from $ 370m to $ 400m. He guessed that the buyer might be a billionaire from Asia, based on current trends in the world of fine art auctions.
Others have suggested a Gulf royal or billionaire — perhaps from Qatar, which has lavishly (大量地) collected art, or Abu Dhabi, which has just opened a branch of the Louvre museum. The Abu Dhabi branch has a Leonardo’s painting, “La belle ferronniere”, on loan from the Louvre in Paris but lacks its own.
“Salvator Mundi” has a troubled history. It was sold for £ 45 at Sotheby’s in London in 1958, when it was thought to 6 a copy, but by 2011 it had been accepted as a work entirely by Leonardo, when it was included in an exhibition at the National Gallery in London. It was then reportedly bought for $ 75m - $ 80m by art adviser Yves Bouvier, who sold it to Russian collector Dmitry Rybolovlev for $ 127.5m.
Mr Rybolovlev said, “Thanks to the professionalism and expertise of Christie’s, the record-breaking sale of Da Vinci’s ‘Salvator Mundi’ has helped bring back some of the value of the collection.”
1、What does the underlined word “inscrutable” mean?
A．available B．unknown
C．uncontroversial D．determined
2、What might Thomas Seydoux’s Asian “new money” be based on?
A．The number of wealthy people in Asia.
B．The trend of wealthy people collecting art.
C．The reasonable way the buyer bid for the painting.
D．The aggressive way the bidder drove up the price.
3、What did Rybolovlev’s words suggest?
A．The sale of the painting reflected its value.
B．He regretted having possessed the painting.
C．The high bid for the painting was ridiculous.
D．Christie’s taught us how to appreciate the painting.
4、Which of the following can be the best title of this passage?
A．Troubled History of “Salvator Mundi”
B．Hunt for New Master of Record-breaking Da Vinci
C．The Most Expensive Painting Ever Sold
D．“Salvator Mundi” Painting’s Buyer to Be Told

B
Most people may think that people who write computer code must be good at math and logical thinking. However, people who write computer code say that creativity is also an important quality for coding.
Software developers in the American state of California have created a game called Osmo Coding Jam. The game is designed to help children use the creative side of their minds as they learn to code. Children can play the game on iPads. There are many activities they can do by the game.
Tanya Dodge is the mother of two children, nine-year-old Dylan and his 11-year-old sister Meghan, who play the game. According to her, these activities give them important skills for the future. “It’s an analytical skill that the kids are going to need to have as they grow up today” said Dodge.
But the developers of Osmo Coding Jam believe writing code should be more than just an analytical skill. “We want to explore the creative side of coding that I think is often not as explored,” said Felix Hu, an Osmo engineer. Hu added, “The coolest part is that we’re teaching kids how to be creative with code and that’s a really important thing that kids should get comfortable with because coding is creative.”
Hu also sees a growing number of parents who feel that software code is a second language that children need to learn to succeed in future jobs. Tanya Dodge, the mother of Dylan and Meghan, consents. She said, “I think you’re going to have to understand at some point the idea of coding will work well in the future.”
Hu also explained that very often kids grow up not understanding how a computer works or just thinking that it’s like a magical machine. He said by breaking it down to a lower level, kids can understand that the computer isn’t as smart as they think it is.
1、Osmo Coding Jam is designed for ________.
A．training kids’ logical thinking
B．helping kids learn to code fast
C．helping children learn math well
D．helping kids become more creative
2、What does Tanya Dodge think of Osmo Coding Jam?
A．It needs to be improved.
B．It is highly addictive for kids.
C．It is of great help to today’s kids.
D．It is imperfect in training kids’ analytical skill.
3、Which of the following statements is True according to the text?
A．Tanya Dodge agrees that coding is good for children to succeed in future jobs.
B．Many parents doubts whether coding will help children work well in the future.
C．Creativity is not so important as logical thinking for coding.
D．Tanya Dodge has two girls, who play the game, Osmo Coding Jam.
4、What can we know about kids’ learning coding from the last paragraph?
A．It makes them much more confident and creative.
B．It makes them like using computers more.
C．It helps them know better about computers.
D．It helps them know better about themselves.
5、What’s the author’s purpose in writing the passage?
A．To tell how to learn to code well.
B．To tell about a new game for kids.
C．To encourage kids to learn to code.
D．To show the importance of creativity.
