The subject of what separates art and design has been debated for a long time. Artists and designers both create visual works using a/an   1  knowledge background, but their reasons for doing so are   2  different. Some designers consider themselves artists, but few artists consider themselves   3 .
So what exactly is the difference between art and design? Perhaps the most fundamental difference that we can all agree on is their   4 . Typically, the process of creating a work of art starts with nothing, a blank sheet of paper. A   5  of art is born from a view or value that the artist holds within himself or herself. They create the art to share that feeling with others, to   6 
the viewers to relate to it, learn from it or be   7  by it. The most renowned and successful art today is something that establishes the strongest   8  connection between the artist and their
  9 .
By contrast, when a designer sets out to   10  a new piece, they almost always have a
  11  starting point, whether a message, an image, an idea or an action. The designer’s job isn’t to invent something   12 , but to communicate something that already exists, for a purpose. That purpose is almost always to motivate the audience to do something: buy a product, use a
  13 , visit a location, or learn certain information. The most   14  designs are those that most effectively   15  their message and motivate their consumers to carry out a task.

Visitors to Britain may find the best place to sample local culture is in a traditional pub.But these friendly pubs can be dangerous places of potential gaffes(失禮)for the newcomers.
A team of researchers have discovered some of the unknown customs of British pubs - starting with the difficulty of getting a drink.Most pubs have no waiters - you have to go to the bar to buy drinks.A group of Italian youths waiting 45 minutes before they realized they would have to fetch their own.This may sound inconvenient, but there is a hidden purpose.
Pub culture is designed to promote sociability(社交)in a society known for its reserve.Standing at the bar for service allows you to chat with others waiting to be served.The bar counter is possibly the only site in the British Isles in which friendly conversation with strangers is considered entirely suitable and really quite normal behavior.“If you haven’t been to a pub, you haven’t been to Britain.” This tip can be found in a booklet, Passport to the Pub: The Tourists’ Guide to Pub Etiquette, a customers’ rule of conduct for those wanting to sample “a central part of British life and culture”.
The trouble is that if you do not follow the local rules, the experience may fall flat.For example, if you are in a big group, it is best if only one or two people go to buy the drinks.Nothing annoys the regular customers and bar staff more than a group of strangers blocking all access to the bar while they chat and hesitate about what to order.
小題1:The underlined word “sample” in the first paragraph probably means “________”.
A.tasteB.experience
C.testD.record
小題2:The culture of pub in Britain is so developed to ________.
A.encourage people to communicate with each other
B.encourage more people to consume drinks
C.a(chǎn)ttract more tourists to the pubs
D.form its own character of culture
小題3:If you don’t follow the local rules in a pub, ________.
A.you won’t buy good local drinks
B.you may annoy the regular customers and bar staff
C.you may fail to feel the local culture
D.you might get into a dangerous place
小題4:What may be the best title for the passage?
A.Self-service Pubs in Britain
B.British Local Pubs: Special Chat Places
C.Local Pub Culture in Britain
D.Manners in British Local Pubs

Scientists say they now have proof to support the old-fashioned advice that it’s best to sleep on a problem.They say sleep strengthens the memory and helps the brain organize the masses of information we receive each day.
The lead researcher Bob Stickgold at the Harvard Medical School said, “Sleep helps us draw rules from our experiences.It’s like knowing the difference between dogs and cats even if it’s hard to explain.”
The US research team studied how well students remembered connections between words and symbols, reports New Scientist.They compared how the students performed if they had had a sleep between seeing the words and having the test, and if they had not slept.They found that people were better able to remember lists of related words after a night’s sleep than after the same time spent awake during the day.They also found it easier to remember themes that the words had in common.But they forgot around one in four more themes if they had been awake.
Prof.John Groeger, of Survey University’s Sleep Research Centre, said, “People have been trying for years to find out what the purpose of sleep is, as we know that only certain parts of it have a restorative (促使康復(fù)的)value.”
“We form and store huge numbers of experiences in the head every day, and sleep seems to be the way the brain deals with them all.”
小題1:The phrase “to sleep on a problem” in Paragraph 1 most likely means “________”.
A.to pay full attention to a problem
B.to wait until the next day for a decision
C.to sleep to forget a problem
D.to have difficulty in sleeping
小題2:In the study by the US research team, students were asked to ________.
A.put together words of similar meanings
B.remember words and their meanings
C.show their knowledge of words
D.make up lists of related words
小題3:Which of the following may be easier to remember?
A.Themes learned right before the test.
B.Rules from personal experiences.
C.Words learned before a good sleep.
D.Ideas stored together in the brain.
小題4:What may be the importance of the research?
A.It shows that sleep may help us manage information.
B.It helps find out the common themes of words.
C.It tells us that more sleep can improve health.
D.It proves the value of old-fashioned advice.

Now satellites are helping to forecast(預(yù)報(bào))the weather. They are in space, and they can reach any part of the world. The satellites take pictures of the atmosphere(大氣), because this is where the weather forms(形成). They send these pictures to the weather stations. So meteorologists(氣象學(xué)家)can see the weather of any part of the world. From the pictures, the scientists can often say how the weather will change.
Today, nearly five hundred weather stations in sixty countries receive satellite pictures. When they receive new pictures, the meteorologists compare(比較)them with earlier ones. Perhaps they may find that the clouds have changed during the last few hours. This may mean that the weather on the ground may soon change, too. In their next weather forecast, the meteorologists can say this.
So the weather satellites are a great help to the meteorologists. Before satellites were invented, the scientists could forecast the weather for about 24 or 48 hours. Now they can make good forecasts for three or five days. Soon, perhaps, they may be able to forecast the weather for a week or more ahead(提前).
小題1:Satellites travel _____________.
A.in spaceB.in the atmosphere
C.a(chǎn)bove the groundD.a(chǎn)bove space
小題2: Why do we use the weather satellites to take pictures of the atmosphere? Because __________.
A.the weather satellites can do it easily
B.clouds form there
C.the weather forms there
D.the pictures can forecast the weather
小題3:Meteorologists forecast the weather __________.
A.when they have received satellite pictures
B.a(chǎn)fter they have compared new satellite pictures with earlier ones
C.before they received satellite pictures
D.during they study satellite pictures
小題4:The main(主要的)idea of this passage is that satellites are now used in _________.
A.taking pictures of the atmosphere
B.receiving pictures of the atmosphere
C.doing other work in many ways
D.weather forecasting

The US government has started a website, Admongo, to help children think critically about the advertising aimed at them. It claims to provide visitors with an “aducation” through games and other entertainment.

A cartoon man dressed in old time pilot clothing greets visitors to Admongo. "Call me Haiz", he says upon arrival in a rocket ship that opens up with a crazy world inside it. Spacey dance music plays in the background as Haiz tells visitors that they need to learn about advertising.
Its inventors say eight to twelve years old is the age kids develop their critical thinking abilities. Kids that age are also a big market for advertisers.
The idea behind Admongo is to teach children three things: To identify the advertiser. To know what the advertiser is really saying. And to know what the advertisement is trying to get the child to do.
Children learn these things through a video game. They create their own game character. They can choose different skin colors, hair styles, eye and mouth shapes. Then they begin a trip through ad-land, where there are ads on buses and billboards. The players have to find all the marketing in the neighborhood before they can move on to the next level.
The Admongo game takes players inside a home, to the advertising studio and everywhere else ads can be found. It is a complete exploration of the world of marketing.
One such area is food marketing. The Federal Trade Commission(FTC) says it is a big business. The FTC estimates that food, drink and fast-food restaurants spent more than one and a half billion dollars on advertising to young people in 2009.
The FTC says children are important for three reasons. They buy products. They influence parents and caregivers to buy. And they are the future adult buyers of the products.
A recent study says most advertising aimed at children is for foods of the lowest nutritional value. First Lady Michelle Obama has said she would like to see advertisers marketing healthy foods for children.
小題1:What is the best title of the text?
A.The guide of Admongo
B.An education website for children
C.A popular online video game
D.A website aimed at children
小題2:Why did the government start the website?
A.To attract the biggest market of buyers.
B.To sell the products of its company.
C.To help children know about advertising.
D.To advertise the video game for children.
小題3:What can players do in the website game?
A.Choose hair styles for their character.
B.Travel to a supermarket.
C.Eat in a fast-food restaurant.
D.Play video games during the trip.
小題4:Children are important for advertising because they are        .
A.important for the society
B.the most potential buyers
C.easily influenced by ads
D.easily affected by poor products
小題5:According to Michelle Obama, lots of food advertised for children are ________.
A.healthyB.of high nutrition
C.yummyD.of low quality

I have ever learned to  26  to someone crying by just listening.in the old days I used to reach for the tissues (紙巾)  27  I realized that passing a person a tissue may be just another way to shut them  28 ,to take them out of their   29  of sadness and pain. Now I just listen.When they have cried all they need to cry, they find me there  30   them.
This  31  thing has not been that easy to learn.It certainly went against everything I had been   32  since I was very young at school.I thought people listened only because they were too  33  to speak or did not know the answer.A loving silence often has far more   34   to connect than the most well-intentioned  35 .

People say teenagers are no good. They make too much noise in shopping malls; they drive carelessly up and down America’s main streets. And at least some of the time those things are true. But we shouldn’t forget that there are hard moments in the life of a teenager too.
I watched such a moment not long ago at a woman’s funeral which happened in a church. A teenage grandson stepped forward. Softly he began:“ I want to share a few values that Nana taught me. She never failed to see light in any situation. When our family dog would attack her, what would Nana say? ‘Oh, what beautiful markings that dog has.’ That was Nana.
“She was a strong woman who often lived in the shadow of my grandpa, who was a successful businessman in this city. But she was the one behind the scenes who provided the strength and support for Grandpa’s career,” he said, with a voice now trembling. “That was Nana’s way.”
Finally, in a voice breaking free of sorrow, he looked up and said, “Nana taught me courage. She put up a fight to the end, when she died peacefully, which is how she lived her life. That was Nana’s way, and I hope I can carry on in the same manner.”
There are no hearts as sensitive as those of teenagers, because everything is happening to them for the first time. The trouble with teenagers is that they haven’t learned to be controlled. When that boy rose to speak about the woman who had been his dearest friend, his honest voice dragged each of us out into the open where we could no longer hide. I was moved and learned a lot.
小題1:According to the first paragraph, ______.
A.young people are living a hard life

小題3:We can infer from the passage that the boy ______.
A.was filled with sadness and gave up finishing his talk
B.was always very good at expressing himself
C.practiced a lot in order to give a moving speech
D.had great difficulty in accepting the loss of Nana
小題4:The writer wanted to tell the readers ______.

The Queen’s English is now sounding less upper-class, a scientific study of the Queen’s Christmas broadcasts has found. Researchers have studied each of her messages to the Commonwealth countries since 1952 to find out the change in her pronunciation from the noble Upper Received to the Standard Received.
Jonathan Harrington, a professor at Germany’s University of Munich, wanted to discover whether accent changes recorded over the past half century would take place within one person. “As far as I know, there just is nobody else for whom there is this sort of broadcast records,” he said.
He said the noble way of pronouncing vowels (元音) had gradually lost ground as the noble upper-class accent over the past years. “Her accent sounds slightly less noble than it did 50 years ago. But these are very, very small and slow changes that we don’t notice from year to year.”
“We may be able to relate it to changes in the social classes,” he told The Daily Telegraph, a British newspaper. “In 1952 she would have been heard saying ‘thet men in the bleck het’. Now it would be ‘that man in the black hat’. Similarly, she would have spoken of ‘the citay’ and ‘dutay’, rather than ‘citee’ and ‘dutee’, and ‘hame’ rather than ‘home’. In the 1950s she would have been ‘lorst’, but by the 1970s ‘lost’.”
The Queen’s broadcast is a personal message to the Commonwealth countries. Each  Christmas, the 10-minute broadcast is put on TV at 3 pm in Britain as many families are recovering from their traditional turkey lunch (傳統(tǒng)火雞午餐).
The results were published (發(fā)表) in the Journal of Phonetics.
小題1:What is the text mainly about?
A.The relationship between accents and social classes.
B.The Queen’s Christmas speeches on TV.
C.The changes in a person’s accent.
D.The recent development of the English language.
小題2:The Queen’s broadcasts were chosen for the study mainly because ______.
A.she has been Queen for many years
B.she has a less upper-class accent now
C.her speeches are familiar to many people
D.her speeches have been recorded for 50 years
小題3:Which of the following is an example of a less noble accent in English?
A.“dutay”B.“citee”     C.“hame”D.“l(fā)orst”
小題4:We may infer from the text that the Journal of Phonetics is a magazine on ______.
A.speech sounds      B.Christmas customs
C.TV broadcasting     D.personal messages

Driving in a foreign country is always different in at least some ways from driving in your own country. Here are some general points regarding driving in New Zealand.
l Visitors wishing to drive in New Zealand do not require an international driver’s license but are required to carry their local driver’s license whenever driving.
l Vehicles drive on the left-hand side of the road as they do in Britain, Australia, and Japan. Most rental vehicles will have a sticker reminding you of this important fact.
l When the traffic light is red, you must stop. There is no left turn rule as in North America.
l New Zealand road rules follow international standards but please note that in New Zealand vehicles turning left must give way to traffic turning right.
l In general, if you are turning left (where there are give-way signs or no signs), give way to vehicles that not turning. In all other situations, give way to vehicles crossing or coming from your right.
l Seat belts must be worn at all times while driving in New Zealand. This stands for the driver and passengers. The driver is responsible for ensuring all passengers are wearing their seatbelts.
l Do not drink alcohol before driving in New Zealanddrinking and driving laws are strictly enforced.
l Speed limits are in kilometres per hour (kph), not miles per hour (mph).
Speed conversion: 1 kph equals 0.621 mph; 1 mph equals 1.61 kph.
