I looked in my rear-view mirror(后视镜)and saw him make a quick Ilium. I looked down aL my speedometer(速度计)and saw that I was going at the speed of 65 mph.

When I rolled down my window I was giggling (笑)to myself.“Did you know you were going at 75 mph in a 55 mph zone?” he shouted. I tried to keep laughing and said “No” with a smile, I looked clown and saw that I was going at 65 mph. He responded, “That is still breaking the law. The speed limit is 55. ”I was thinking about the laughing. “Ha ha ha, I made a mistake and I will learna lesson from it Please forgive me”.

I haven’t hada ticket in at least 10 years. ”He took away my license and went back to his police car. I could see him writing through my rear-view mirror.

Classical art, such as valuable paintings, precious statues and other fine arts, usually ends up in the collections of museums, companies or rich people.Both art and architecture have a history of ages. All forms and ways of expressing the beautiful things have been explored. In the case of architecture, many buildingsdesigned in the past have proven beautiful and served their purposes. Governments and companies could save millions of dollars by building or copying designs of architecture of buildings from the past. There are still many designs for buildings made by famous architects that were never realized. Besides, some people find modem architecture ugly. So why should we pay a lot of money to architects for designing new buildings?The same holds for modern art, both paintings and statues. Many storerooms contain enough art lo decorate all public buildings and other public places. There is no need to create more art, and as with modem architecture,many people find new art difficult to understand or appreciate.Given these facts, why are architects and artists asked to create new art works? The answers have to do with the function of art in society today. First of all, the function of art is to decorate. Art works make our living environment more beautiful. Another function of art is enriching real life. Art helps people to learn to think creatively. In art things are not always what they seem to be. Very often you can hardly tell what the funny art objects are. People need such creative moments. Finally, art is often seen as a way to instruct the audience. Statues of heroes from the past remind us of our history. Paintings and other art objects can also help us realise which goals we should set for ourselves.Because ideas about society change and every period of time has its own taste, there is always a need for new art. We can still appreciate the beautiful art works made in the past but they are often too valuable to be placed in public buildings. Besides, they also often need special protection.28. Who owns collections of ancient statues and paintings?A.Public parks or city squares.B. Shopping streets or public buildings.C. Museums, companies or rich people.D. In some historical sites or private possessions.29. What’s the writing purpose of Paragraph 2?A. To explain why some people find modem art ugly.B. To introduce the reason for the necessity of new art.C. To show the benefits of copying designs from the past.D. To prove both art and architecture have a long history.30. Why can’t we use old art to decorate public buildings?A. Because they need long-lasting restoring.B. Because more people prefer modem art.C. Because of the changes and difference of tastes.D. Because of their value and need for protection.31. What does the fourth paragraph mainly talk about?A.The functions of art in society.B.The functions of architecture,C.The reason why art is difficult.D.The reason why art is precious.DIn the 19th century, doctors tried to transfuse blood (输血)to patients who had lost blood in accidents or to try to save them. However,in most cases there would be a horrible reaction. When the donated blood mixed with the patient's own blood,it clotted (凝结)almost immediately. That stopped the circulation (循环)and the patient would die. Born on 14th June 1868,Karl Landsteiner,a doctor in Vienna, was very concerned about this. He knew there was something in the blood that caused reactions, but some people did manage to escape. Perhaps different people had different kinds of blood? He got a lot of blood samples (标本)from people, and mixed and matched them. Blood has two parts,the blood cells and the liquid serum(血清).You take blood cells from one person and mix them with the senyn of another.If they react, the cells will clot and form a big lump. That means it is not safe to transfuse blood between these people. Landsteiner matched hundreds of samples like this,to find out who was safe for whom and who wasn’t. In fact, there were blood groups now called A, B,AB and 0.So what was going on in the blood? All our red blood cells have sugar molecules(糖分子) that are stuck on their surfaces. The red blood cells of people with groupA have one kind of sugar,while those withB have another. People with AB have both of these while people with 0 have none.People with the A blood group have a chemical substance called anti-B, while those of B blood group have anti-A in their serum. People with AB group have neither anti-A nor anti-B, while people with 0 have both. If you were B group and got blood from an A person,the anti- A in your blood would cause all the cells with A-sugar on them to clot immediately, stopping the circulation of blood.In 1907, Dr. Reuben Outenberg carried out the first safe blood transfusion by matching blood groups. Blood transfusion became quite common from then on. And it helped saved thousands of lives in the First World War.32. What does the passage mainly talk about?A. Accidents in blood transfusion.B. The discovery of blood groups.C. Who Karl Landsteiner is.D. The success of Dr. Reuben Otlenberg.33. What inspired Landsteiner to carry our his experiment?A. Some doctors in the 19th century.B. The cause of some patient deaths.C. Many medical accidents that he came across.D. Certain successful cases of blood Iransrusion.34. In which of the following can “anti-A” be found?A. Only in the A blood group.B. Only in the B blood group.C. Only in the AB blood group.D. In blood groups of B and 0.35. Since when has blood transfusion Income universal?A. The first successful blood transfusion done by Ottenberg.B. The time when blood groups were named by Landsteiner.C. The year when the First World War broke out.D. The blood transfusion by matching blood groups.第二节(共5小题;每小题2分,满分10分)根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。
