Mention the terms Italian Culture and Renaissance Art and one is immediately reminded of the mysterious smile of Leonardo da Vinci’s Mona Lisa.
The renaissance period had a deep effect on European culture development. Having its beginnings in Italy, by the 16th century, it had spread to the rest of Europe. Its influence was felt in different fields such as philosophy, literature, religion, science, politics, and, of course, art. The scholars of the renaissance period applied the humanist method in every field of study, and wanted human emotion and realism in art.
Renaissance scholars studied the ancient Latin and Greek texts, searching the monastic(修道院的)libraries of Europe for works of ancient times that had become obscure, in their hunt for improving and perfecting their worldly knowledge. This was completely different from the religion that Christianity(基督教)stressed. However, that does not mean that they refused Christianity. In fact, much of the greatest works of the renaissance period was devoted to it, with the church supporting a lot of the works of renaissance art. However, there were slight changes in the manner in which the scholars began to treat religion, which affected the cultural life of the society, which in turn influenced the artists of that period and therefore was reflected in their art.
In Raphael’s School of Athens, for example, some well-known people were described as classical scholars, with Leonardo da Vinci being given as much importance as Plato in his time. Giotto di Bondone, 1267—1337, a Florentine, who is regarded as the greatest Italian painter just earlier than the renaissance period, is thought to be the first artist who treated a painting as a window into space.
However, it was only after the writings of Filippo Brunelleschi, 1377—1446, who is considered the first great builder of the Italian Renaissance, that perspective was formally accepted as an artistic technique.

The Cave Crawler mining robot
Why do human beings still risk their lives under ground and doing one of the dirtiest and most dangerous jobs in the world? It’s an increasingly urgent question,given the recent high-profile(引人注目的)mining accidents in Sago, W. Va., and Huntington, Utah. A small group of engineers and robotics experts envision(展望)a day in the not-too-distant future when robots and other technology do most of the dangerous mining work..
One of the first mining robots was developed five years ago at Carnegie-Mellon University’s Robotics Institute. It was called Groundhog and it looked like a golf cart. It used lasers to “see” in dark tunnels and map abandoned mines—some of the most dangerous work in the business.
The latest prototype is called Cave Crawler. It’s a bit smaller than Groundhog, and even more advanced. It can take photos and video and has sensors mounted that can detect the presence of dangerous gases. Incredibly, the robot has a real sense of logic. If it comes across an obstacle it gets momentarily confused, it has to think through the process and where to go next, and sometimes it throws a fit just like a real person.
The biggest obstacle, though, is cost. The original research project was federally funded, but that money has dried up, and it’s not clear where future funding will come from. Partly for that reason, and partly because of advances in safety, mining is not nearly as dangerous as it was in the past. Since 1990, fatalities have declined by 67 percent, and injuries by 51 percent, according to the National Mining Association.
Some experts predict that robots in mines will serve much of the same function that they do in the automotive industry. The robots do the most repetitive and dangerous jobs, but don’t eliminate the need for human workers.
1.The latest robot is more advanced than Groundhog mainly because .
A. it can map abandoned mines
B. the robot has a real sense of logic
C. it can see in the dark tunnel
D. it’s a bit smaller than Groundhog
2.We can infer from the last paragraph that .
A. the mine robots will have a very bright future
B. robots in mines will serve much in the automotive industry
C. there will be no need for human workers in mines
D. robots in mines have a long way to go
3. Which of the following can be the best title of this passage?
A. High-profile mining accidents in America.
B. The development of robot.
C. Could robots replace humans in mines?
D. Cave Crawler, the latest robot.

阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出最佳选项。
Every year many students went to the college bookstore to purchase the different textbooks that they need for their classes. Little do these students realize that, in doing so, they are throwing good money away. It may sound unbelievable but textbooks, in some cases, actually cost as much as, if not more than, college fees.
Many people think that college bookstores are the most convenient source for textbooks. Titles are usually kept and students may purchase new textbooks or choose to buy second-hand books and save money. But the money saved by purchasing second-hand textbooks from college bookstores is small compared to the amount they could save by shopping online.
More and more online booksellers have begun selling textbooks at heavily discounted prices. Online second-hand bookstores are another source for college books as they keep a large number of textbooks, which means sizable savings for students. Students should avoid purchasing their textbooks at the first store that they surf online since there are so many ‘unreal’ booksellers on the Net. Price isn't the only factor to consider when making an online purchase. Students should also consider shopping costs and delivery time when making their decision.
Online auctions(拍卖) are another option for students seeking a bargain. This option, however, has its pros and cons. A plus is that students can get incredibly cheap books. One problem is that while online bookstores have a system in place that ensure you receive your order within a reasonable amount of time, with an auction purchase, however, you must depend on the auction seller's timetable.
One way that students can really save is by getting books for free. Project Gutenberg is one resource that English majors will find invaluable. Here students can legally download a huge collection of classic novels. In the past students needing help with their studies would often have to spend a lot of money buying expensive study guides. Today that is no longer the case. Cash-strapped students can now visit the website SparkNotes for free downloadable study guides as well as classics.
31. Which of the following is the best title of this passage?
A. Learning to Save on Textbooks B. Why Buy Textbooks
C.Online Shopping D. Tips for Buying Secondhand Textbooks
【答案】A
【解析】标题归纳题。本文主要讲在线购书比去学校书店买更节省，最终一段还介绍了一种能免费获得教科书的节省的方法。所以本文主要讲在教科书方面怎样省钱。故选A.
32. Which of the following is NOT mentioned as a source to obtain textbooks ?
A. College bookstores. B. Online used bookstores.
C.Online auctions. D. Second-hand bookstore centres.
【答案】D
【解析】细节理解题。第一段讲到A.College bookstores。第三段“Online second-hand bookstores are another source for college books …...”提到了B（在线二手书）。第四段讲C.在线拍卖。但始终没提到D。
33. The underlined expression “pros and cons” (paragraph 4) is closest in meaning to __________.
A. professionals and conservatives B. joy and sadness
C.advantages and disadvantages D. processes and conditions
【答案】C
【解析】词义猜想题。“pros and cons” 指“正反两方面”，即“优点和缺点”。与C意思相同。
34. According to the passage, Project Gutenberg is probably __________.
A. a government project aimed at helping English majors
B. a project to help poor students get free learning materials
C. a website for English majors to get the guides from language experts
D.a website for students to get free sources for English learning
【答案】D
【解析】推理推断题。文章最终一段“Project Gutenberg is one resource that English majors will find invaluable. Here students can legally download a huge collection of classic novels.”说明 “Project Gutenberg”是英语专业同学认为格外贵重的资源，同学可以在这儿合法地下载大量经典小说保藏。因此它是一个同学可以为英语学习猎取免费资源的网站。故选D。
35. From the passage, we can learn that__________.
A. the cost of textbooks in college is low compared to the amount spent on tuition
B. online auctions are perfect for students seeking text books
C. students should visit many websites before buying their books
D.students should consider shopping costs and delivery time above all else when making their buying decision
【答案】C
【解析】细节理解题。文章第一段“It may sound unbelievable but textbooks, in some cases, actually cost as much as, if not more than, college fees.”说明听起来可能难以置信，但在某些状况下，教科书的费用即使不比高校学费多，也是持平的。故A不对。文章第四段“Online auctions(拍卖) are another option for students seeking a bargain. This option, however, has its pros and cons.”说明在线拍卖也是有利有弊的，而不是完善的。故B错误。第三段“Price isn't the only factor to consider when making an online purchase. Students should also consider shopping costs and delivery time when making their decision.”说价格不是网购唯一考虑的因素，同学在做打算之前也要考虑购物成本和交货时间。能看出同学在作出购买打算之前应当首要考虑购物成本和交货时间，但不是首要考虑的。故D错误。第三段“Students should avoid purchasing their textbooks at the first store that they surf online since there are so many ‘unreal’ booksellers on the Net. ”说明同学应当避开在他们搜寻到的第一个店购买教科书，由于网上有太多不真实的书商。所以在买书之前应当看很多网站，故C正确。

We are going to take the College Entrance Exams in more than two months. Therefore, many students still don’t know how to balance their study, rest and physical exercises while preparing for the Exams. They usually devote too much time to go over their lessons, what results in poor health and low efficiency of learning.
As the proverb goes, early to bed and early to rise make a man healthy, wealthy and wise. We’d better leave us enough time to rest and sleep since it enables us learn our lessons more efficient. What’s more, a strong and healthy body is the base for our further study, future work and creative activities.
In brief, as we are preparing to the Exams, don’t forget that rest, exercise and study were equally important.
