“Thank you,” Mom said, smiling. “It’s nice to meet you.”

Ms. Jennings looked surprised. “You speak very well,” she said.

In sign language, I repeated what Ms. Jennings had said in case my parents hadn’t read her lips (嘴唇).

Mom nodded. “I lost my hearing as a child, after I’d learned to talk. Amy’s father was born deaf. He can talk, too, but he’s shyabout his voice.”

Dad smiled in agreement.

Last month,the artist Christo opened his new art sculpture. It is made up of 7,506 colorful barrels (桶) floating on a lake inHyde Park in London. Christo calls it The London Mastaba. It is his first major outdoor art sculpture in Great Britain. Theartwork is in the shape of a mastaba. It looks somewhat like a pyramid with a fat top. The London Mastaba is about 65 feethigh, 98 feet wide and 130 feet long, and it weighs about 1.3 million pounds. The metal barrels can be seen from hundreds offeet away.35

Everyone who looks at it will see something different. Many will think the barrels are barrels of oil in the heart of one of

London’s oldest parks. They might wonder if Christo was making an announcement against pollution. Others will see a prismor giant pixels or simply a shape. However, everyone must decide for themselves, the

83-year-old artist said. Christo said he had nothing special in mind when he created The London Mastaba. “There are nomessages,” Christo said. “There is something in it to discover yourself. I cannot direct you.”“A Stairway To The Sky”

“It’s created a giant invitation, like a stairway to the sky,” Christo said. The artist was standing on the banks of the SerpentineLake in Hyde Park where his artwork floats. Swans are swimming nearby. Some barrels are red with a white candy stripe onthe sides. Others are colored blue, purple and red. Their colors will look different as the light changes, Christo said. Theirreflection (倒影) in the lake will be like an abstract painting. Abstraction is an artistic style that does not always showsomething recognizable or realistic.“Not Really Sure How I Feel About It”

Many people walking in the park were surprised to see the artwork. “It’s very modern, but this place is nature and historical. Idon’t like it here,” said Yasmin KocOzcengel, who is a tour ist from Turkey. Another person who took a look at the artwork wasAnna Andronova. She called The London Mastaba very brave. If it weren’t as brave, it wouldn’t be as amazing, she said.Sheila Seffenson is an American living in London. “I’m just not really sure how I feel about it,” Steffenson said. “Maybe it’s amessage about pollution. Who knows?”34. What can we learn about the artwork?A. It is a floating pyramid.

B. It is made up of empty oil barrels.C. It is an abstract painting.

D. It is considered as different things.

35. Which of the following would be most suitable for________?A. An Announcement Against Pollution.B. An Announcement Against Pollution?C. A New Landmark Of The Oldest Park.D. A New Landmark Of The Oldest Park?

36. Which of the following words can best describe The London Mastaba?A. Romantic.B. Magical.C. Realistic.D. Mysterious.

37. What can most possibly be the artist’s real purpose?A. To add some more colours to the old park.B. To bring his art career to a new height.C. To encourage people to discover and think.D. To remind people to care about nature.第Ⅱ卷四、词汇运⽤

People have been using the wind’s energy for a long, long time. More than 5, 000 years ago, ancient Egyptians made boatspowered by the wind. In 200 B.C., people used windmills(风车) in China.

Today, we collect the wind’s energy with wind turbines(涡轮). A turbine is similar to a windmill; it is a very tall tower with twoor three blades(叶⽚) at the top. These blades are turned by the wind. The blades turn a generator(发电机) located inside thetower, which creates power.

Groups of wind turbines are known as wind farms. Wind farms can be found near farmland, in narrow mountain passes, andeven in the ocean, where there are stronger winds. Wind farms create power for nearby homes, schools and other buildings.In places like the Midwest and along coasts, winds can provide cheap power. Another great advantage of wind power is that itis a clean form of energy. Wind turbines do not burn oil or coal and do not pollute the air.

Wind is not always an ideal source of energy, however. Wind speed changes from time to time, depending on the time of day,weather and location. Wind turbines can be also dangerous for bats and birds. These animals cannot always tell how fast theblades are moving and crash into them.Title: ___52___ Energy

The book I’d like to share with you is The Old Man and the Sea, written by an American writer Ernest Hemingway. This booktells about a fisherman who is lucky enough to catch a huge fish at sea, but finds it hard to take it home. On the way back, hehas to fight against the shark and the sea.

What I like most about the book is that the fisherman never gives up when meeting with difficulties. I still remember the well-known sentence from the book. Man is not made for defeat.
