21、o has the flu coughs or sneezes, little droplets from their lungs (肺) spread out into the air. Anyone nearby can get sick. Even a person who touches something with the virus and then touches his or her mouth, eyes, or nose, can become infected(感染).The outbreak of the 1918 influenza infected about 50

22、0 million people worldwide. It killed from 20 million to 50 million people. It was first seen in Europe, the United States, and parts of Asia. It then spread quickly around the world.

23、pread of the killer flu. People were ordered to wear masks. Schools, theaters and other public places were closed.When the first wave(波in the spring of 1918 hit, it didnt seem serious.

25、king it very difficult to breathe.By the summer of 1919, the flu pandemic(大流行病) came to an end. Sick people had either got well or died. Almost 90 years later, in 2008, researchers announced theyd discovered why the 1918 flu was so deadly. The flu virus inflamed (使惡化)the lungs, causing them to fill

29、C“Whats wrong, Carina?” Collin asked. “Homesick again?”His sister nodded.“Yeah, me too.” Collin sighed(嘆息).Their family had moved to the new place nearly four months ago. The new place was housed inside a huge transparent dome (透明的圓屋頂). It still didnt feel like home.“I miss my friends,” Carina said

30、sadly. “And green grass and swimming, and everything. I even miss the sound of rain on the roof(屋頂).”“Worst of all,” Carina continued, “my birthday is in two days, and I dont think Mom and Dad are planning anything special. Theyre too busy.”“Shes probably right,” thought Collin. Life here was very b

31、usy for scientists like their parents. He doubted if they had time to plan a party. And how could they anyway? Things such as balloons and birthday candles didnt exist here. They didnt even have enough materials to make a cake.“Dont worry.” Collin put an arm around Carinas shoulder.Collin walked tow

32、ard the agricultural center, where his mom worked. He found her taking notes on some tall tube-like plants.“What are those?” he asked.“Bamboo plants,” said Mom. “Theyre strong and grow fast. They make good building materials.”“May I have a piece?”“Sure.” Mom handed one to him and made a note on her

33、notebook.The next day, Collin made tiny holes into the piece of bamboo and put small nails(釘子)into each hole. He poured a handful of pebbles(鵝卵石) inside and covered the open ends.Collin held the bamboo piece carefully as he hurried home. He hid it behind his back and opened the front door. To his su

34、rprise, Mom and Dad were home early from work. Mom was carrying something that looked like a cake.He looked closer and realized Mom had made a cake with dried apples and cinnamon(肉桂皮) sugar. A real treat, on the Moon.Collin handed his sister the bamboo rod. “Happy birthday!”“What is it?” Carina aske

35、d, looking at it curiously.“A rain stick,” said Collin. “Whenever you turn it over, the pebbles fall around the nails and it sounds like rain.”Carina turned the stick, and the room was filled with a sound like rain drumming on a roof.“Its Moon Rain!” she said. “It makes me feel like Im home.” She sm

Carina didnt think her parents would plan anything special for her birthday.31. Which of the following can best describe Collin?A. Careful and brave. B. Caring and creative.C. Gen

38、erous and intellectual.D. Romantic and popular.DLooking at art should be like walking in the countryside. You may not know exactly where you are, what bird is making that strange sound, or what the hill ahead of you is called, but thats part of the fun of it. You dont need to know these things to fe

39、el the beauty of nature.Of course, if you do know your birds, trees and local history, a walk can be more attractive. Yet such knowledge comes slowly. It is picked up through experience. A true knowledge of nature cannot just be given to you through an app on your phone. Imagine pointing your phone

40、at the hill and getting plenty of information on screen. Would that enrich your dreamy walk or ruin(毀滅) it?Braggarts enjoy an app that allows them to show off their knowledge, for example, about baroque(巴洛克風(fēng)格的) paintings. In fact, apps in museums try to provide on-screen art history at once just to

41、encourage people to read their phones instead of looking at paintings.It is a mistaken idea that you need to be spoon-fed(灌輸) amazing facts about a work of art in order to appreciate(欣賞) it. Our first experience of a work of art should be raw(自然狀態(tài)的), unguided, and a bit puzzling, like following a pa

42、th in the woods. Later, you might choose to do some personal research into the work. It can further increase your enjoyment and appreciation for it. Yet it is best done when youre away from the art itself, so that even when you return, the work still feels fresh.Anyone who thinks knowing some dates

43、and details makes you better understand a work of art is wrong. We all need to put aside our screens and our supposed knowledge when we look at art. Let the paintings flow in; let your intuitions(直覺) fly off. Art is a journey in the wilderness or it is nothing at all.32. What does the writer mainly

44、want to say?A. Art is best with the help of apps.B. Art is best when hidden in mystery.C. Art is nothing compared with nature.D. Art is nothing when details and facts are known.33. The underlined word “braggarts” refers to(指)_.A. people who like showing offB. people who like baroque paintingsC. thos

45、e who are good at appreciating artD. those who are good at painting with phones34. Whats the main idea of Paragraph 4?A. How to appreciate a work of art.B. How to personal research into a work of art. C. How to keep your feelings about a work of art fresh.D. How to be spoon-fed amazing facts about a

46、 work of art.35. what can we infer(推斷) from the passage?A. Because of apps, art will be ruined in the future. B. A good piece of art is usually made about nature.C. Research work and intuitions can both help understand art. D. Museums are not supposed to allow the use of mobile phones.四、閱讀表達(dá)（共5小題；每小
