21．（6分）Since 1984, Philadelphia has been cleaning up its act. One by one, graffiti-covered walls are being changed into outdoor art. So far, more than 1,800 murals (壁画) have been painted. Philadelphia now has more murals than any other American city.
The walls that were once ugly with graffiti (涂鸦) are now covered with beautiful pictures of historical heroes and modern art, thanks to the Mural Arts Program (MAP). Its work makes schools and public places attractive, and its citizens very proud. The program began as part of Philadelphia’s Anti-Graffiti Network. Jane Golden is the MAP’s artistic director. “When people ask me what our program is about,” she says, “I answer them with one word: hope”. Each year, the MAP offers youth art programs and workshops. Some onetime graffiti writers even help paint MAP murals.
The MAP’s work, says Golden, is all about developing a sense of community. When a neighborhood requests a mural, the MAP works with the people there to develop a message. Some messages have been “Safe Streets”, “Love and Care”, and “Peace Walk”.
1、What can be the best title for the text?
A．Love, from Graffiti Writers to Muralists
B．MAP, a New Company in Philadelphia
C．Jane, an Excellent Mural Artist
D．Hope, One Wall at a Time

22．（8分）A novel is a story transmitted from the novelist to the reader. It offers distraction and entertainment. But it can also be something more powerful—a way to learn about how to live. Just read at the right moment in your life, and a novel can change it.
The Novel Cure is a reminder of that power. It is regarded as a grand display of literary fiction and a celebration of the possibilities of the novel. To create this apothecary（药房）, the authors have searched through two thousand years of literature for novels that effectively promote happiness, health, and sanity（神志清醒）, written by brilliant minds who knew what it meant to be human and wrote their life lessons into their fiction.
The authors, Ella Berthoud and Susan Elderkin began giving novels to each other whenever one of them seemed in need of a push. In 2008 they set up a bibliotherapy service through a cultural enterprise, and since then have been prescribing books to customers all over the world.
Bibliotherapy does not discriminate between pains of the body and pains of the head (or heart). Aware that you are not brave enough? Pick up To Kill a Mockingbird for an injection of courage. Experiencing a sudden fear of death? Read One Thousand Years of Solitude for some understanding on the larger cycle of life. Whatever your condition is, the treatment is simple: a novel (or two), to be read regularly. Some treatments will lead to a complete cure. Others will offer comfort, showing that you are not the first to experience these emotions. The Novel Cure is also filled with useful lists recommending the best novels to read when you are stuck in traffic or can’t fall asleep, the most important novels to read throughout your life.
Brilliant in concepts, The Novel Cure belongs on everyone’s bookshelf and in every medicine cabinet. It will make even the most well-read fiction lover pick up a novel he’s never heard of, and see familiar ones with new eyes. Mostly.it will reaffirm literature’s ability to distract and transport, to resonate（共鸣）and reassure, to change the way we see the world and our place in it.
1、What does the “power” in paragraph 2 refer to?
A．The power of the novelist to transmit a story to the reader.
B．The power of the novel to distract and entertain the reader.
C．The power of the novel to create so many treatment for the reader.
D．The power of the novel to tell us how to live and change our lives.
2、According to the passage, what do you think is “Bibliotherapy”?
A．A treatment that helps you to find the meaning of life.
B．A method that makes you to resonate with the characters in the novel.
C．A treatment that requires you to stay in the bookshop and to read many books.
D．A method to address your physical or psychological problems by reading certain books.
3、According to the passage, which of the following statements in TRUE about The Novel Cure?
A．It is hard for bookworm to find the book appealing.
B．Its authors must have scanned numerous literature works.
C．All of the novels prescribed in it can offer you a complete cure
D．It divides our pains into pains of the body and pains of the head.
4、You can find the article on all of the following websites EXCEPT ________
A． B．http://
C．http:// D．http://
23．（8分） In this Pennsylvania city, Pittsburgh is shrinking but getting wealthier. Since 2000, its population has declined by 95,000 while its income per capita (人均) has shot up 24 percent. The trend is taking hold in many other cities, like Buffalo in New York, Providence in Rhode Island and New Orleans.
Some of these areas have created more high-paying jobs in energy, health care or education. Others have managed to reshape their manufacturing (制造业) for a new economy. Higher-paying jobs have a greater effect because they create demand for additional services. “The story in Pittsburgh is very positive, and other areas are looking at it as an example of the transformation that might be possible,” said Guhan Venkatu, who wrote an economic history of the area called “Rust and Renewal” for the Federal Reserve Bank of Cleveland.
Carnegie Mellon University and the University of Pittsburgh have helped bring tech jobs and innovation (革新) to the area by sponsoring tech centers that help graduates start companies without moving to Silicon Valley or San Francisco. This has helped keep Pittsburgh’s educated young population growing even as the entire population in the city has dropped.
Pittsburgh has more STEM (science, technology, engineering and math) jobs than other shrinking cities, about 80,000 or 7% of all jobs. STEM jobs add productivity and income growth to the area. Manufacturers of high-tech medical equipment in the Pittsburgh area also have doubled employment in the last 10 years.
However, some experts question whether growing income per capita can really make up for a declining population. According to Patrick Adler, a researcher at the University of Toronto, population loss does matter if it means lower-skilled workers have fled because of a lack of opportunity. What’s more, high-paying jobs in education and health care can disappear if the population declines too greatly. So it’d be wise to find ways to increase the population.
1、In what aspect does Pittsburgh set a good example?
A．Transforming new energy. B．Creating more well-paid jobs.
C．Prohibiting the manufacturing. D．Sponsoring higher education.
2、How do some academic institutions help with the local economy?
A．By helping to attract more talents from other areas.
B．By providing much technical support to local companies.
C．By successfully keeping educated youths working locally.
D．By assisting in employing a large number of educated youths.
3、Why is Patrick Adler mentioned in the last paragraph?
A．To show the disadvantage of a declining population.
B．To give a suggestion about increasing population.
C．To raise doubts about growing income per capita.
D．To tell a reason why lower-skilled workers flee.
4、What can be a suitable title for the text?
A．How Fast Job Growth Is Related to Population Growth
B．How Less-crowded Cities Plan Their High-tech Economy
C．Why Some Cities are Losing People but Getting Wealthier
D．Why Some Cities are Suffering From a Shrinking Population

25．（10分） What exactly is intelligence? There aren’t any easy answers. Despite the progress that has been made in genetics and psychology, human intelligence has remained one of the most controversial areas of modern science，until now, that is, for the discovery of a gene(基因) linked to intelligence has made the experts think again.
Robert Plomin of the Institute of Psychiatry in London and his colleagues in the US have been looking into genetic make-up. From their research, they have discovered that a slightly different gene is more common in those with a high IQ. Plomin analyzed DNA from two groups of 51 children aged between 6 and 15. What he found was that the first group had an IQ of 136, putting them in the top 5% of the population, while the other group had an average IQ of 103. An analysis of their genes showed that 32% of children in the higher group had the gene in question, while only 16% in the second group did. However, there is a lot more research to be done, and Plomin himself is cautious at this early stage. He suggests that there are probably many genes that contribute to intelligence, rather than just one.
Several studies have shown a strong link between IQ and career success, although some psychologists remain unconvinced about this. Professor Michael Rowe, who has written a book called Genius Explained, is one of these. “The people with the highest IQs are not usually the ones who do best in their careers.”
Many psychologists now believe that when it com
